Neil Cole, Chairman and CEO of Iconix, said, "2005 was the first full year under our exciting new brand management and licensing business model and it was the most profitable year in our Company's history. Our fourth quarter results helped us exceed our full year guidance driven by stronger than anticipated licensing revenue from within our Candie's and Rampage divisions and we see this strength continuing into 2006.”

“Our Joe Boxer brand continues to grow internationally and we are working on several new license agreementsfor both Bongo and Badgley Mischka. We believe that we can continue to complement our organic growth with additional accretive acquisitions and are currently evaluating several interesting opportunities," he added.

The company is reaffirming its previously announced 2006 full year earnings per share guidance of $0.65-$0.70 cents per share.

Iconix brand Group Inc owns, licenses and markets a growing portfolio of consumer brands including Candie's(R), Bongo(R), Badgley Mischka(R), Joe Boxer(R) and Rampage(R).
