NEW YORK---March
17,2017- Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) reported its financial
results for the full year and the three months (“fourth quarter”) ended January
31, 2017, which were consistent with its previously issued guidance for the

year and 2% in the fourth quarter. The Company generated more than $700 million
of cash flow from operating activities in the full year.
In the full year:
• Worldwide net
sales of $4.0 billion were 3% below the prior year, reflecting a 5% decline in
comparable store sales. Performance was generally soft across all jewelry
categories. On a constant-exchange-rate basis that excludes the effect of
translating foreign-currency-denominated sales into U.S. dollars (see “Non-GAAP

respectively.
