Dennis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Genesco, said, &#8220;We finished Fiscal 2012 with an excellent fourth quarter, led by strong performances from our two largest businesses, Journeys Group and Lids Sports Group. In addition, Schuh and Johnston &amp; Murphy also contributed meaningfully to our results. Our merchandise strategies continued to drive strong full price selling in our stores and on our websites, helping push adjusted fourth quarter operating margin above 10% for the first time in five years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fiscal 2013 has started well, with February consolidated comparable store sales up 13%. While we expect these trends to moderate, we continue to look for positive comparable store sales on top of the challenging quarterly comparisons ahead of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/bp-reaches-settlement-in-gulf-oil-spill-case\/22076\"><br \/>\nBP Reaches Settlement in Gulf Oil Spill Case<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/yelp-shares-gain-on-debut-yelp\/22063\"><br \/>\nYelp Shares Gain on Debut (YELP)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/walt-disney-board-criticized-for-choosing-iger-as-chairman-dis\/22062\"><br \/>\nWalt Disney Board Criticized for Choosing Iger as Chairman (DIS)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-prices-slip-2\/22061\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Slip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-end-lower-3\/22036\"><br \/>\nStocks End Lower<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-headed-for-a-lower-finish-21\/22032\"><br \/>\nStocks Headed for a Lower Finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/hot-stocks-to-watch\/universal-health-realty-income-will-continue-to-explore-opportunities-for-growth\/22031\"><br \/>\nUniversal Health Realty Income &#8211; Will continue to explore opportunities for growth<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
