  POLO RALPH LAUREN REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2006 RESULTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


New York  (May 25,  2006) - Polo  Ralph  Lauren  Corporation  (NYSE:  RL) today
reported net income of $63 million,  or $0.58 per diluted share, for the fourth
quarter of Fiscal  2006  compared  to net income of $23  million,  or $0.22 per
diluted  share,  for the fourth  quarter of Fiscal  2005.  Fiscal Year 2006 net
income was $308 million, or $2.87 per diluted share,  compared to net income of
$190 million, or $1.83 per diluted share for Fiscal Year 2005.

The fourth  quarter and full year  results  for Fiscal 2005  include a one-time
charge of approximately  $100 million associated with our litigation with Jones
Apparel Group, Inc., which has now been settled. Excluding this charge from the
fourth  quarter  results for Fiscal 2005,  we would have reported net income of
$86 million and earnings of $0.82 per diluted share. Excluding this charge from
the full year  results for Fiscal  2005,  we would have  reported net income of
$254 million and earnings of $2.44 per diluted share.

"This  has  been  another  record-breaking  year for Polo  Ralph  Lauren,  with
numerous  accomplishments,"  said Ralph  Lauren,  Chairman and Chief  Executive
Officer. "Our strategy is sound and the worldwide appeal of our brand continues
to  strengthen.  I am  extremely  pleased  with our  position and eager to take
advantage  of  the  many   opportunities   that  lie  ahead."

"The  underlying  fundamentals  of our business and the ability to leverage our
strengths  have never been better.  Looking  forward,  we will continue to take
steps to  advance  our retail  expansion,  to further  enhance  the  quality of
distribution of our brands and to further strengthen our infrastructure. We are
excited  about our  prospects  and look  forward to another  strong  year," Mr.
Lauren added.

"We  entered  this year with a number of goals  including  expanding  specialty
stores, growing internationally,  capitalizing on new merchandise opportunities
and  continuing  to invest in our global  infrastructure.  During the year,  we
executed well on this strategy.  We expanded our direct to customer presence by
opening Ralph Lauren and Rugby stores in key markets and growing  Polo.com.  We
entered into a new global  eyewear  license with  Luxottica and assumed  direct
ownership  of  two  key  product   categories   with  our  footwear  and  denim
acquisitions," said Roger Farah, President and Chief Operating Officer. "I feel
very good about our progress in each of these  initiatives  and look forward to
even more success in Fiscal 2007."

                                                                              1

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2006 INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW NET REVENUES Net revenues for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006 increased 8% to $972 million compared to $902 million in the fourth quarter last year, driven by a 15% increase in retail and a 6% increase in wholesale sales. Net revenues for the full Fiscal Year increased 13% to $3.75 billion compared to $3.31 billion in Fiscal 2005, driven by strong increases in retail sales and wholesale sales. Fiscal 2006 revenues reflect the acquisition of Polo Jeans in the fourth quarter and footwear in the second quarter. GROSS PROFIT Gross Profit for the fourth quarter increased 10% to $525 million compared to $477 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005. Gross margin rate improved 110 basis points in the fourth quarter to 54.0% of revenues compared to 52.9% of revenues during the same period last year. Gross Profit for the full Fiscal Year increased 20% to $2.02 billion compared to $1.68 billion in Fiscal 2005. Gross margin rate improved 300 basis points to 54.0% of revenues compared to 51.0% of revenues last year. Improvements in gross margin for the fourth quarter and the full year reflect increases in full-price sell-throughs and sourcing efficiencies. SG&A EXPENSES SG&A expenses were $409 million in the fourth quarter compared to $435 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues were 42.1% in the fourth quarter compared to 48.3% for the fourth quarter last year. SG&A expenses for the full Fiscal Year 2006 were $1.51 billion compared to $1.38 billion last year. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenues were 40.2% in Fiscal 2006 compared to 41.9% in Fiscal 2005. Excluding the approximately $100 million litigation charge, the increase in expenses in the fourth quarter and the full year reflect the acquisition of Polo Jeans and footwear, as well as increases to support our wholesale and retail business growth. OPERATING INCOME Operating income for the fourth quarter increased to $116 million compared to $42 million in the fourth quarter last year. Operating margin was 11.9%, compared to 4.6% in the fourth quarter last year, an increase of 730 basis points. For the full Fiscal Year 2006, operating income increased to $517 million compared to $300 million last year. Operating margin for Fiscal 2006 was 13.8%, an increase of 470 basis points compared to 9.1% last year. Excluding the approximately $100 million litigation charge, operating income would have been $140 million in the fourth quarter last year, with a 15.5% operating margin, and $400 million for the full year Fiscal 2005, with a 12.1% operating margin. NET INCOME Net income for the fourth quarter was $63 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $23 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005. Fiscal Year 2006 net income was $308 million, or $2.87 per diluted share, compared to net income of $190 million, or $1.83 per diluted share for Fiscal Year 2005. Excluding the approximately $100 million litigation charge, net income would have been $86 million, or $.82 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter and $254 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, for the full year Fiscal 2005. 2

Our effective tax rate was 38.8% for the year, above our previously announced expectations of 37.2% for the year. Our year end tax reserve estimate includes the impact of the continued growth in our domestic wholesale and retail businesses, which resulted in a higher state tax rate impact than previously anticipated, and thereby increasing the overall effective tax rate. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 108.1 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 2.8 million shares compared to the fourth quarter last year. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the full year Fiscal 2006 were 107.2 million, an increase of 3.1 million shares compared to the full year Fiscal 2005. FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2006 SEGMENT REVIEW WHOLESALE Wholesale sales in the fourth quarter were $574 million, up 6%, compared to $543 million in the fourth quarter last year. The increase came primarily from the inclusion of Polo Jeans and footwear, the launch of Chaps for women and boys, and increased sales in Lauren and in our full-price menswear business. In the fourth quarter we also had a meaningful reduction in off-price sales. Wholesale operating income in the fourth quarter was $127 million, compared to $141 million in the fourth quarter last year. Wholesale operating margin was 22.1% in the fourth quarter compared to 25.9% in the fourth quarter last year due to the dilutive inclusion of Polo Jeans and footwear. Wholesale sales in Fiscal Year 2006 were $1.94 billion, up 13%, compared to $1.71 billion last year. The increase came from increased sales across all of our wholesale product lines and the addition of acquisitions. Wholesale operating income increased 33% to $398 million compared to $300 million last year with improvement in all product categories owned for the full fiscal year. Wholesale operating margin improved 300 basis points to 20.5% compared to 17.5% last year. RETAIL Retail sales were $335 million in the fourth quarter, up 15%, compared to $292 million in the fourth quarter last year, reflecting increases in all of our retail formats. Total company comparable store sales increased 3.0%, reflecting an increase of 1.2% at Ralph Lauren stores, 10.6% at Club Monaco stores and 2.8% in our factory stores. Polo.com revenues increased 73%. Retail operating income was $1 million compared to a loss of $10 million in the fourth quarter last year. Retail operating margin improved 380 basis points from a loss of 3.5% last year. Our retail segment operating income excludes a $9 million pre-tax restructuring charge related to the closing of Club Monaco outlet stores and the planned disposition of Caban home stores. Retail sales in Fiscal 2006 were $1.56 billion, up 16%, compared to $1.35 billion last year, reflecting increases in all of our retail formats. Total company comparable store sales increased 6.4%, reflecting an increase of 6.0% at Ralph Lauren stores, 8.1% at Club Monaco stores and 6.3% in our factory stores. Polo.com revenues increased 47%. Retail operating income increased 69% to $140 million compared to $83 million last year. Retail operating margins improved 290 basis points to 9.0% compared to 6.1% last year. At the end of Fiscal Year 2006, we operated 289 stores, with 2.265 million square feet, compared to 278 stores, with 2.164 million square feet, at the end of last year. Our retail group consists of 68 3

Ralph Lauren stores, five Rugby stores, 64 Club Monaco stores, 133 Polo factory stores, 11 Polo Jeans Co. factory stores, seven Caban stores, and one Club Monaco factory store. LICENSING Licensing revenues in the fourth quarter were $63 million, compared to $68 million in the fourth quarter last year. The decrease reflects lost royalty from footwear for the quarter and Polo Jeans for two months, as they transitioned to our wholesale segment post acquisition. This reduction was partially offset by strength domestically in our Chaps for men lines. Operating income was $40 million, compared to $48 million in the fourth quarter last year. Licensing revenues of $245 million for the full year were flat to last year. Operating income was $154 million in Fiscal 2006, compared to $160 million last year. FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2006 BALANCE SHEET REVIEW We ended the fourth quarter with $286 million in cash, after funding the acquisition of Polo Jeans for $255 million, the footwear acquisition for $110 million, and settling all outstanding litigation and claims between Polo Ralph Lauren and Jones Apparel for $100 million. We continue to carefully manage our inventory and ended the fourth quarter with $486 million in inventory, up from $430 million in the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to the inclusion of footwear and Polo Jeans. We currently intend to refinance our approximately (euro)227 million bonds at or before their maturity in November 2006, depending on favorable market conditions. For the full Fiscal year 2006 pre-tax ROI was 30%, compared to 25% for Fiscal 2005, adjusted for the litigation charge. FiSCAL 2007 FULL YEAR OUTLOOK o Consolidated revenue growth is projected to be low double digit percent. o Including the effect of stock compensation expense, operating margins are expected to be flat compared to Fiscal 2006. o As disclosed in February, 2006, earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $3.00 to $3.10. This earnings projection includes an estimate of stock option expense in the range of $0.15 to $0.20 per share. FISCAL 2007 FIRST QUARTER OUTLOOK o Consolidated revenue growth is projected to be high teens to low twenties percent, reflecting mid-thirties percent growth in wholesale, high single digit percent growth in retail and a mid-teens percent decrease in licensing. Revenues in our wholesale segment reflect the addition of Polo Jeans and footwear. o Operating margins are expected to be slightly lower than the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the effect of stock compensation expense, the impact of the footwear and Polo Jeans acquisitions and an anticipated $2 million restructuring charge for Club Monaco to complete the disposition of Caban. 4
