1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries (the Company) and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Stock Based Compensation As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), we account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 and continue to apply APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the stock option plans and the employee stock purchase plan.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148). This statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 are included below.
Had we elected to apply the accounting standards of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, our net earnings and net earnings per share would have been approximately the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

(Unaudited)
Refer to Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements below for a discussion of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 amends ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement establishes the fair value method for measurement and requires all entities to apply this fair value method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the instrument issued and will be recognized over the vesting period. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005 for all awards granted or modified after that date and for those awards granted prior to that date that have not vested.
SFAS No. 123R requires companies to assess the most appropriate model to calculate the value of the options. In addition, there are a number of other requirements under the new standard that will result in differing accounting treatment than currently required. These differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for the tax benefit on employee stock options and for stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan. In addition to the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, we will also be required to determine the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The allowed transition methods include modified prospective and modified retroactive adoption options. Under the modified retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The modified prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS No. 123R, while the modified retroactive method would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective method.
Upon adoption, SFAS No. 123R will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements as we will be required to expense the fair value of our stock option grants and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan rather than disclose the impact on our consolidated net earnings and net earnings per share within our footnotes, as is our current practice in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net earnings and pro forma net earnings per share elsewhere in this Note 1.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional as used in SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity even if the timing and/or settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of an entity. Accordingly, the entity must record a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 47 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Earnings per Share
Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and net earnings. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution which would have occurred if additional shares were issued for stock options exercised under the treasury stock method, as well as the potential dilution that could occur if our contingent convertible debt or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. No dilution from the contingent convertible debt or other contracts has occurred.
3. Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging
In connection with our direct sourcing program, we may enter into purchase commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency (primarily the Euro). Our policy is to enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize foreign currency exposure related to forecasted purchases of certain inventories. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), such contracts have been designated as and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The settlement terms of the forward contracts, including amount, currency and maturity, correspond with payment terms for the merchandise inventories. Any ineffective portion of a hedge is reported in earnings immediately. At April 30, 2005 we had 16 contracts maturing in varying increments to purchase an aggregate notional amount of $6.2 million in foreign currency, maturing at various dates through December 2005. During the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, we recognized an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness.
The changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts are matched to inventory purchases by period and are recognized in earnings as such inventory is sold. The fair value of the forward exchange contracts is estimated by comparing the cost of the foreign currency to be purchased under the contracts using the exchange rates obtained under the contracts (adjusted for forward points) to the hypothetical cost using the spot rate at quarter end. We expect to recognize in earnings through December 2005 approximately $0.3 million, net of tax, of existing net gains presently deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income.
4. Comprehensive Income and Supplemental Cash Flows
Our comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):

We had non-cash investing and financing activities resulting from the tax benefit recognized upon exercise of stock options of $43 thousand during the first quarter of 2004 and $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2005. We had non-cash investing and financing activities resulting from the issuance of treasury stock to the employee stock ownership plan of $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the first quarters of 2004 and 2005, respectively.

The pretax amortization expense associated with intangible assets totaled approximately $212,000 and $222,000 for the quarters ended May 1, 2004 and April 30, 2005, respectively, and approximately $857,000 for the year ended January 29, 2005. Pretax amortization associated with intangible assets at April 30, 2005 is estimated to be $665,000 for the remainder of fiscal year 2005, $832,000 for fiscal year 2006, $674,000 for each of the fiscal years 2007 and 2008 and $658,000 for fiscal year 2009.
6. Long-Term Debt
We have a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks (the Credit Agreement) that provides for borrowing of up to $100.0 million through July 7, 2009 (amended in July 2004 to extend the maturity date). The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the stock of the subsidiaries of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, the agents prime rate or the reserve adjusted LIBOR rate plus a varying interest rate margin up to 2.25%. The Credit Agreement also provides for fees applicable to unused commitments ranging from 0.275% to 0.500%. As of April 30, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a minimum level of net worth and certain financial ratios. The Credit Agreement also prohibits payment of cash dividends on our common stock. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2005.
On October 21, 2003, we issued $130.0 million of 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 in a private placement. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2004. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2023. However, holders may require us to purchase all or part of the Notes, for cash, at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount per Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on October 15, 2008, October 15, 2013 and October 15, 2018 or upon a designated event. Beginning on October 15, 2008, we will pay additional contingent interest on the Notes if the average trading price of the Notes is above a specified level during a specified period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In addition, we may redeem all or a portion of the Notes on or after October 20, 2008, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest, contingent interest and additional amounts, if any. We also have the right to redeem the Notes between October 20, 2006 and October 19, 2008 if the price of our common stock reaches certain levels.
During certain periods, the Notes are convertible by holders into shares of our common stock initially at a conversion rate of 23.3187 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $42.88 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in certain events), under the following circumstances: (1) if the closing sale price of our common stock issuable upon conversion exceeds 120% of the conversion price under specified conditions; (2) if we call the Notes for redemption; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. Upon conversion of the Notes, in lieu of delivering common stock we may, at our election, deliver cash or a combination of cash and common stock. However, on January 28, 2005, we entered into a supplemental indenture relating to the Notes and irrevocably elected to settle the principal amount at issuance of such Notes in 100% cash when they become convertible and are surrendered by the holders thereof. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations, ranking on parity in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and our other general unsecured obligations, and senior in right of payment with all our future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our senior secured indebtedness and all indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries.
In December 2003, we acquired the assets and operating leases for 13 retail dry cleaning and laundry facilities and issued a note payable for $1.0 million as partial consideration. The unsecured note payable, with interest at 4%, was paid in full in January 2005.
We utilize letters of credit primarily to secure inventory purchases. At April 30, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $16.5 million were issued and outstanding.
7. Stock Repurchase Program
In September 2003, the Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of Company common stock in the open market or in private transactions. No shares were repurchased under this program during the first quarter of 2004. However, in the aggregate, as of May 1, 2004, we had purchased under this program 1,405,400 shares at a cost of $42.4 million in private transactions and 1,713,400 shares at a cost of $42.6 million in open market transactions, for a total of 3,118,800 shares at an average price per share of $27.28.
In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market or in private transactions. This authorization superceded the remaining availability under the September 2003 authorization.
The following table shows activity under the June 2004 treasury stock repurchase program for the quarter ending April 30, 2005 (in thousands, except share data and average price per share):

8. Legal Matters
On April 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange, Case No. 03CC00132 (the Orange County Suit). The Orange County Suit was brought as a purported class action and alleged several causes of action, each based on the factual allegation that in the State of California the Company misclassified its managers and assistant managers as exempt from the application of certain California labor statutes. Because of this alleged misclassification, the Orange County Suit alleged that the Company failed to pay overtime compensation and provide the required rest periods to such employees. The Orange County Suit sought, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief along with an accounting as to alleged wages, premium pay, penalties, interest and restitution allegedly due the class defendants. The Orange County Suit was settled in May 2005 and did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On April 1, 2004, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC313038 (the PII Suit). The PII Suit, which was brought as a purported class action, alleges two causes of action, each based on the factual allegation that the Company requests or requires, in conjunction with a customers use of his or her credit card, the customer to provide personal identification information which is recorded upon the credit card transaction form. The PII Suit seeks: (i) civil penalties pursuant to the California Civil Code; (ii) an order enjoining the Company from requesting or requiring that a customer provide personal identification information which is then recorded on the transaction form; (iii) permanent and preliminary injunctions against the Company requesting or requiring that a customer provide personal identification information which is then recorded on the transaction form; (iv) restitution of all funds allegedly acquired by means of any act or practice declared by the Court to be unlawful or fraudulent or to constitute a violation of the California Business and Professions Code; (v) attorneys fees; and (vi) costs of suit. The Court has not yet decided whether the action may proceed as a class action. The Court has determined that the claim for restitution may not proceed. We have reached a tentative settlement; however, no assurance can be given that the Court will approve the settlement or that the anticipated resolution will be realized. We do not believe the ultimate resolution of the PII Suit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, we are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental to the conduct of our business. Management believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
9. Subsequent Event
On May 18, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing that a Special Committee of the Companys Board of Directors, pursuant to specifically delegated authority, declared a three for two stock split of the Companys common stock, $.01 par value, in the form of a stock dividend to be paid on June 13, 2005, to shareholders of record of said stock at the close of business on May 31, 2005 (the Record Date). Share and per share information included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements has not been restated to reflect the stock split.
10. Restatement of Financial Statements
Like many other companies in the retail and restaurant industries, we reviewed our accounting treatment for leases and depreciation of related leasehold improvements during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and restated our consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal 2004 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.
Historically, when accounting for leases, we recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term, with the term commencing generally when the store opened. We depreciated leasehold improvements on those properties over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or an average period, ranging from eight to 15 years for different leasehold groups, which represented the initial non-cancelable lease term plus periods of expected renewal. Landlord incentives received for reimbursement of leasehold improvements were netted against the amount recorded for the leasehold improvements.

THE MENS WEARHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
We conformed our lease terms used for recording straight-line rent and depreciation of leasehold improvements to include renewal option periods where the renewal appears reasonably assured. The lease terms commence when we take possession with the right to control use of the leased premises. We also adopted a policy of capitalizing rent amounts allocated to the construction period for leased properties as leasehold improvements. Landlord incentives received for reimbursement of leasehold improvements are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease.

In connection with our strategy of testing opportunities to market complementary products and services, in December 2003 and in September 2004 we acquired the assets and operating leases for 13 and 11, respectively, retail dry cleaning and laundry facilities operating in the Houston, Texas area. We launched a rebranding campaign for these facilities in March 2005, under the banner MW Cleaners. We may open or acquire additional facilities on a limited basis during 2005 as we continue to test market and evaluate the feasibility of developing a national retail dry cleaning and laundry line of business.
During fiscal year 2004, we opened six new casual clothing/sportswear concept stores in order to test an expanded, more fashion-oriented merchandise concept for men and women. In March 2005, it was determined that no further investments would be made into these fashion-oriented test concept stores and that the six stores opened in 2004 would be wound down over the course of fiscal 2005. At April 30, 2005, five of these test concept stores remained in operation. It is anticipated that these five stores will be closed by June 30, 2005.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we opened two test bridal stores in the San Francisco Bay Area in order to test additional opportunities in the bridal industry. These stores are located contiguous to existing Mens Wearhouse stores. We may open additional stores on a limited basis during 2005 as we continue to test the market and opportunities in the bridal industry.

Results of Operations
Quarter Ended April 30, 2005 Compared with Quarter Ended May 1, 2004
Our net sales were $411.6 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2005, a $50.9 million or 14.1% increase from the same prior year period due mainly to a $46.6 million increase in clothing and alteration sales. Our U.S. comparable store sales (which are calculated primarily by excluding the net sales of a store for any month of one period if the store was not open throughout the same month of the prior period) increased 10.9% due mainly to increased store traffic levels at our traditional Mens Wearhouse stores and at our K&G stores where the hours of operation were extended from four days to seven days a week beginning September 1, 2004. Improvement was experienced in nearly all product categories at both our Mens Wearhouse and K&G stores. We have also experienced an improved customer response at our K&G stores as a result of a comparative advertising campaign. In Canada, comparable store sales increased 4.2% as a result of increased store traffic and increased unit sales in almost all product categories. Combined U.S. and Canadian tuxedo rental revenues increased by $1.4 million but decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenues from 5.0% in the first quarter of 2004 to 4.8% in the first quarter of 2005.
Gross margin increased 20.3% from the same prior year quarter to $165.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. As a percentage of sales, gross margin increased from 38.2% in the first quarter of 2004 to 40.3% in the first quarter of 2005. This increase in gross margin percentage resulted mainly from higher initial mark-ups and lower markdowns that produced higher clothing product margins. The gross margin percentage was also increased as occupancy cost, which is relatively constant on a per store basis and includes store related rent, common area maintenance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, property taxes and depreciation, decreased modestly as a percentage of sales from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2005. However, on an absolute dollar basis, occupancy cost increased by 6.4% from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2005 due mainly to higher rent expense from our increased store count and renewals of existing leases at higher rates.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of sales, remained constant at 31.3% for both the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. SG&A expenditures, however, increased by $16.2 million or 14.3% to $128.9 million. As a percentage of sales, advertising expense decreased from 3.9% to 3.7% of net sales, store salaries decreased from 12.6% to 12.5% of net sales and other SG&A expenses increased from 14.8% to 15.1% of net sales. On an absolute dollar basis, the principal components of SG&A expenses increased primarily as a result of increased commissions due to higher sales and costs associated with the planned closure of our R&D retail concept Eddie Rodriguez.
Interest expense increased from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 while interest income increased from $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. Weighted average borrowings outstanding decreased from $131.0 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $130.0 in the first quarter of 2005, and the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness increased from 3.3% to 3.4%. The decrease in weighted average borrowings is due to the payment of our unsecured note payable for $1.0 million in January 2005. The increase in the weighted average interest rate is due to modestly higher commitment fees.
Our effective income tax rate was 37.3% for the first quarter of 2004 and for the first quarter of 2005. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes.
These factors resulted in net earnings of $22.7 million or 5.5% of net sales for the first quarter of 2005, compared with net earnings of $15.1 million or 4.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks (the Credit Agreement) that provides for borrowing of up to $100.0 million through July 7, 2009 (amended in July 2004 to extend the maturity date). The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the stock of the subsidiaries of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, the agents prime rate or the reserve adjusted LIBOR rate plus a varying interest rate margin up to 2.25%. The Credit Agreement also provides for fees applicable to unused commitments ranging from 0.275% to 0.500%. As of April 30, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
13
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a minimum level of net worth and certain financial ratios. The Credit Agreement also prohibits payment of cash dividends on our common stock. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2005.
On October 21, 2003, we issued $130.0 million of 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 in a private placement. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2004. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2023. However, holders may require us to purchase all or part of the Notes, for cash, at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount per Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on October 15, 2008, October 15, 2013 and October 15, 2018 or upon a designated event. Beginning on October 15, 2008, we will pay additional contingent interest on the Notes if the average trading price of the Notes is above a specified level during a specified period. In addition, we may redeem all or a portion of the Notes on or after October 20, 2008, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest, contingent interest and additional amounts, if any. We also have the right to redeem the Notes between October 20, 2006 and October 19, 2008 if the price of our common stock reaches certain levels.
During certain periods, the Notes are convertible by holders into shares of our common stock initially at a conversion rate of 23.3187 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $42.88 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in certain events), under the following circumstances: (1) if the closing sale price of our common stock issuable upon conversion exceeds 120% of the conversion price under specified conditions; (2) if we call the Notes for redemption; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. Upon conversion of the Notes, in lieu of delivering common stock we may, at our election, deliver cash or a combination of cash and common stock. However, on January 28, 2005, we entered into a supplemental indenture relating to the Notes and irrevocably elected to settle the principal amount at issuance of such Notes in 100% cash when they become convertible and are surrendered by the holders thereof. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations, ranking on parity in right of payment with all our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and our other general unsecured obligations, and senior in right of payment with all our future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our senior secured indebtedness and all indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries.
In December 2003, we acquired the assets and operating leases for 13 retail dry cleaning and laundry facilities and issued a note payable for $1.0 million as partial consideration. The unsecured note payable, with interest at 4%, was paid in full in January 2005.
We utilize letters of credit primarily to secure inventory purchases. At April 30, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $16.5 million were issued and outstanding.
Working capital was $377.1 million at April 30, 2005, which is down from $388.2 million at January 29, 2005 and up from $370.8 million at May 1, 2004. Historically, our working capital has been at its lowest level in January and February and has increased through November as inventory buildup is financed with both vendor payables and credit facility borrowings in preparation for the fourth quarter selling season. Working capital at April 30, 2005 is lower than at January 29, 2005 due mainly to purchases of treasury stock made during the first quarter of 2005.
Our operating activities provided net cash of $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2004, due mainly to net earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges, and an increase in income taxes payable, offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and increases in inventories and other assets. During the first quarter of 2005, our operating activities provided net cash of $19.1 million, due mainly to net earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges, and an increase in income taxes payable, offset by increases in inventories and other assets. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first quarter of 2004 was due primarily to the payment of higher bonuses accrued at the end of 2003 and payment for treasury stock purchased as of the end of 2003. Inventories increased in the first quarter of 2004 and 2005 due mainly to seasonal inventory buildup. Other assets increased in the first quarter of 2004 and 2005 mainly due to purchases of tuxedo rental product. The increase in income taxes payable in the first quarter of 2004 and 2005 was due primarily to increased earnings.
Our investing activities used net cash of $9.3 million and $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2004 and 2005, respectively. Cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of capital expenditures relating to stores opened, remodeled or relocated during the period or under construction at the end of the period, distribution facility additions and infrastructure technology investments. The increase in capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2005 is mainly attributable to additions to our new Canadian tuxedo distribution center purchased in January 2005 and additions to our Houston distribution center to further accommodate our current and future operations.
14
Our financing activities provided net cash of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2004 due mainly to proceeds from the issuance of our common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options. During the first quarter of 2005, our financing activities used net cash of $26.6 million due mainly to purchases of treasury stock offset by proceeds from the issuance of our common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options.
In September 2003, the Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of Company common stock in the open market or in private transactions. No shares were repurchased under this program during the first quarter of 2004. However, in the aggregate, as of May 1, 2004, we had purchased under this program 1,405,400 shares at a cost of $42.4 million in private transactions and 1,713,400 shares at a cost of $42.6 million in open market transactions, for a total of 3,118,800 shares at an average price per share of $27.28.
In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market or in private transactions. This authorization superceded the remaining availability under the September 2003 authorization. As of April 30, 2005, a total of 1,101,900 shares at a cost of $43.0 million were repurchased in open market transactions under this program at an average price per share of $39.00. During the first quarter of 2005, a total of 1,002,500 shares at a cost of $40.5 million were repurchased under this program at an average price per share of $40.39.
On May 12, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a replenishment of the Companys share repurchase program to $50.0 million by authorizing $43.0 million to be added to the remaining $7.0 million under the June 2004 authorization program.
We anticipate that our existing cash and cash flow from operations, supplemented by borrowings under our Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund planned store openings, other capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
As substantially all of our cash is held by three financial institutions, we are exposed to risk of loss in the event of failure of any of these parties. However, due to the creditworthiness of these three financial institutions, we anticipate full performance and access to our deposits and liquid investments.
In connection with our direct sourcing program, we may enter into purchase commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency (primarily the Euro). We generally enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce the risk of currency fluctuations related to such commitments. As these forward exchange contracts are with one financial institution, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by this party. However, due to the creditworthiness of this major financial institution, full performance is anticipated. We may also be exposed to market risk as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. This market risk should be substantially offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying transactions.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made herein and in other public filings and releases by the Company contain forward-looking information (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involves risk and uncertainty. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, future capital expenditures, acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), future sales, earnings, margins, costs, number and costs of store openings, demand for clothing, market trends in the retail clothing business, currency fluctuations, inflation and various economic and business trends. Forward-looking statements may be made by management orally or in writing, including, but not limited to, this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and other sections of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933.
Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, domestic and international economic activity and inflation, our successful execution of internal operating plans and new store and new market expansion plans, performance issues with key suppliers, severe weather, foreign currency fluctuations, government export and import policies and legal proceedings. Future results will also be dependent upon our ability to continue to identify and complete successful expansions and penetrations into existing and new markets and our ability to integrate such expansions with our existing operations.
Expansion into more fashion-oriented merchandise categories or into complementary products and services may present greater risks. We are continuously assessing opportunities to expand complementary products and services related to our
15
traditional business, such as corporate apparel sales and retail dry cleaning establishments. We may expend both capital and personnel resources on such business opportunities which may or may not be successful.
Our business is particularly sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence. Consumer confidence is often adversely impacted by many factors including local, regional or national economic conditions, continued threats of terrorism, acts of war and other uncertainties. We believe that a decrease in consumer spending will affect us more than other retailers because mens discretionary spending for items like tailored apparel tends to slow faster than other retail purchases.
According to industry sources, sales in the mens tailored clothing market generally have declined over the past several years and increased only modestly in 2004. We believe that this trend is attributable primarily to: (1) men allocating less of their income to tailored clothing and (2) certain employers relaxing their dress codes. We believe that this trend in sales has contributed, and will continue to contribute, to a consolidation among retailers of mens tailored clothing. Although we have been able to increase our share of the mens tailored clothing market, we may not be able to continue to expand our sales volume or maintain our profitability within our segment of the retailing industry.
16
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to exposure from fluctuations in U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rates and the Canadian dollar/Euro exchange rates. As further described in Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, we utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts to limit exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. At April 30, 2005, we had 16 contracts maturing in varying increments to purchase an aggregate notional amount of $6.2 million in foreign currency, maturing at various dates through December 2005. At May 1, 2004, we had 39 contracts maturing in varying increments to purchase an aggregate notional amount of $23.2 million in foreign currency, maturing at various dates through December 2005. Unrealized pretax gains on these forward contracts totaled approximately $0.1 million at May 1, 2004 and $0.4 million at April 30, 2005. A hypothetical 10% change in applicable April 30, 2005 forward rates could increase or decrease the April 30, 2005 unrealized pretax gain by approximately $0.6 million related to these positions. However, it should be noted that any change in the value of these contracts, whether real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged item.
Moores conducts its business in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars has fluctuated over the last ten years. If the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar weakens, then the revenues and earnings of our Canadian operations will be reduced when they are translated to U.S. dollars. Also, the value of our Canadian net assets in U.S. dollars may decline.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005 to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 18, 2003, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange, Case No. 03CC00132 (the Orange County Suit). The Orange County Suit was brought as a purported class action and alleged several causes of action, each based on the factual allegation that in the State of California the Company misclassified its managers and assistant managers as exempt from the application of certain California labor statutes. Because of this alleged misclassification, the Orange County Suit alleged that the Company failed to pay overtime compensation and provide the required rest periods to such employees. The Orange County Suit sought, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief along with an accounting as to alleged wages, premium pay, penalties, interest and restitution allegedly due the class defendants. The Orange County Suit was settled in May 2005 and did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On April 1, 2004, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC313038 (the PII Suit). The PII Suit, which was brought as a purported class action, alleges two causes of action, each based on the factual allegation that the Company requests or requires, in conjunction with a customers use of his or her credit card, the customer to provide personal identification information which is recorded upon the credit card transaction form. The PII Suit seeks: (i) civil penalties pursuant to the California Civil Code; (ii) an order enjoining the Company from requesting or requiring that a customer provide personal identification information which is then recorded on the transaction form; (iii) permanent and preliminary injunctions against the Company requesting or requiring that a customer provide personal identification information which is then recorded on the transaction form; (iv) restitution of all funds allegedly acquired by means of any act or practice declared by the Court to be unlawful or fraudulent or to constitute a violation of the California Business and Professions Code; (v) attorneys fees; and (vi) costs of suit. The Court has not yet decided whether the action may proceed as a class action. The Court has determined that the claim for restitution may not proceed. We have reached a tentative settlement; however, no assurance can be given that the Court will approve the settlement or that the anticipated resolution will be realized. We do not believe the ultimate resolution of the PII Suit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, we are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental to the conduct of our business. Management believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
