<b>                        SEARS REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS 
               Strength in Retail and Credit Drive 71 Percent EPS Increase



</b>         HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Sears, Roebuck and Co. (NYSE: S) reported first-quarter 2000

 net income of $235 million, or $0.65 per share, compared with reported 1999 first-quarter net

 income of $146 million, or $0.38 per share, an increase of 71 percent.  

         The increase in earnings per share was a result of the strength of Sears retail and

credit businesses coupled with the company's share repurchase program.  In retail, higher sales

and improved gross margins resulted in significant operating income growth over the first

quarter of the prior year.  The increase in credit income came primarily from a lower

provision for uncollectible accounts and reductions in selling and administrative expense.

         "Our two primary businesses, retail and credit, contributed very strong growth in

operating income while our robust cash flow allowed us to repurchase over 17 million outstanding

shares of Sears stock, further enhancing earnings per share growth," said Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer Arthur C. Martinez.  "Increased sales volume along with a solid margin rate

drove the retail operating improvement, while the credit business continued to improve portfolio

quality and reduce operating costs."


<b><u>Revenues

</u></b>         Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $8.97 billion, compared with $8.66 billion

for the same period a year ago.  The revenue increase was primarily due to improvement in the

full-line stores and Sears Canada, partially offset by the loss of revenues from the Homelife

divestiture.  

         


<b>SEARS/ ADD ONE



</b>    "In the first quarter, sales increases in appliances, lawn and garden, and sporting goods

were strong, contributing to a 2.7 percent rise in domestic comparable store sales. <b> </b>The Great

Indoors and Sears dealer stores also enjoyed very strong performance for the quarter," said

Martinez.  "In softgoods, homeware, fine jewelry and cosmetics and fragrances were strong,

but were offset by women's, men's, and children's apparel results which were impacted by the

Easter holiday shift."  Martinez added that the company's on-line initiatives continue to grow.

In early April, Sears began selling lawn and garden tools on sears.com, which already offers

the largest online appliance store, the largest parts site for consumers and an expanded tool

site, Tool Territory.


    Sears Canada revenue increased 19 percent, to $966 million in the first quarter of 2000.

First-quarter domestic credit revenues increased 0.8 percent from a year ago, to $1.07 billion.

Revenues in the services segment, which include Sears Home Services and Sears Direct Response

businesses, were $623 million in the quarter, a decrease of 3.7 percent from a year ago<i>. 


</i>        All revenue amounts reflect the application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101

(SAB 101), which affected the classification of revenue and related costs of licensed

businesses.  However, there was no effect on operating income related to the implementation

of SAB 101.


<b><u>Gross margin and selling and administrative costs


</u></b>         Consolidated gross margin as a percent of merchandise sales and services was 25

percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 24.8 percent in the comparable 1999 period.

The increase in gross margin reflects solid improvement in retail margin partially offset by

a lower margin rate in the services business.  Retail gross margin in the first quarter

benefited from the more aggressive clearance program implemented during the fourth quarter of

1999.  


    Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 21.8 percent in

the first quarter of 2000 compared to 22.2 in the prior year period.  The improvement reflects

substantial reductions in operating and legal costs in Sears credit business, partially offset

by increased spending on on-line initiatives.




<b>SEARS/ADD TWO



<u>Provision for uncollectible accounts


</u></b>         In the first quarter of 2000, the consolidated provision for uncollectible accounts

was $245 million, a 16 percent decrease from $291 million in the first quarter of 1999.  The

decrease in the provision is a result of improvement in portfolio quality as well as a decrease

in the level of average owned credit card receivable balances compared to the prior year first

quarter.  The improved portfolio quality reflects the company's significant investments in its

risk management and collection activities.  The domestic allowance for doubtful accounts

remained at $725 million, consistent with the year-end 1999 level.


        Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a leading U.S. retailer of apparel, home and automotive

products and services, with annual revenue of more than $41 billion.  The company serves

families across the country through approximately 860 full-line department stores, more than

2,100 specialized retail locations, and a variety of online offerings accessible through the

company's Web site, http://www.sears.com .  Sears, Roebuck and Co. owns a majority stake in

Sears Canada.
