    RadioShack Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2003 Financial Results
                        Net Income up 27%, E.P.S. up 36%

Fort Worth,  Texas - RadioShack  Corporation  (NYSE:  RSH) today announced third
quarter  net income of $57  million or $0.34 per  diluted  share for the quarter
ended  September  30,  2003,  compared to net income of $45 million or $0.25 per
diluted  share for the quarter  ended  September  30, 2002.  Third  quarter 2003
earnings per diluted  share were  favorably  impacted by less than one cent from
the  net  effect  of  a  litigation   settlement   and  costs   related  to  the
rationalization of certain manufacturing and installation businesses.

Comparable  store  sales for the third  quarter  2003 were up 3% compared to the
prior year. Total sales in the third quarter 2003 were up 2% to $1,064 million,
compared  to total  sales of $1,047  million  for the  previous  year.  Wireless
communications  department  sales  for the  third  quarter  of 2003 were up 12%.
RadioShack  drove  increases in both total sales and gross margin  percentage in
the same quarter for the first time in 19 quarters.

"RadioShack  is clearly on the right track.  Third quarter  financials  were the
result of striking a very prudent balance between sales and profitability," said
Leonard Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of RadioShack Corporation.
"Our vendor  initiatives,  buying  disciplines,  and field execution are driving
higher profit and better returns for our shareholders."

Inventory  turnover  through the third  quarter of 2003 was 2.6 times versus 2.4
times a year ago. Free cash flow(1) was $321 million for the nine-months  ended
September 30, 2003, compared to $217 million in the prior year.

As for fourth quarter 2003 guidance,  RadioShack  anticipates generating diluted
earnings per share of $0.67 - $0.70.

investors  followed by a question  and answer  period.  The public is invited to
