~ Operating Results at High End of Previously Issued Guidance ~
New York & Company, Inc. (NYSE:NWY), a specialty apparel chain with 486 retail stores, today announced results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016.
Gregory Scott, New York & Company’s CEO stated: “Our second quarter results were highlighted by positive comp sales in line with our guidance and earnings at the high end of guidance. Our second quarter sales performance accelerated from the trend we experienced in Q1 and early May, which we attribute to more seasonal weather, enhanced flexibility within our go to market process, our targeted marketing efforts, and the ongoing benefits from our omni-channel and credit card loyalty initiatives. During the quarter, we experienced strong trends across our seasonal categories of dresses, shorts and tops while continuing to drive strong sales growth from our Eva Mendes and Jennifer Hudson celebrity collaborations.”
“In July, we were excited to enter into a new ten-year agreement with Alliance Data Services Corporation to continue managing our private label credit card. We expect this new agreement to allow us to further drive brand loyalty and private label credit card sales. We continue to expect our successful strategy to position New York & Company for increased sales productivity and profitability during the balance of the year.”

* Derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. (a) In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”), which requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets, and any related valuation allowance, as non-current within a classified statement of financial position. On January 30, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-17 prospectively. The Company’s net deferred tax assets are netted against a full valuation allowance. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets until the Company believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized in the future.Exhibit (4)

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP to non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per diluted share for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 is indicated below. There were no non-GAAP adjustments affecting comparability in the three and six months ended July 30, 2016. This information reflects, on a non-GAAP basis, the Company’s adjusted operating results after excluding certain non-operating charges. This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP adjusted results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s continuing operating results. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
