Journeys Group
The Journeys Group segment, including Journeys, Journeys Kidz and Shi by Journeys retail stores,
catalog and e-commerce operations, accounted for approximately 48% of the Company’s net sales in
Fiscal 2010. Operating income attributable to Journeys Group was $44.3 million in Fiscal 2010,
with an operating margin of 5.9%. The Company believes that its distinctive store formats, its mix
of well-known brands and new product introductions, and its experienced management team provide
significant competitive advantages for Journeys Group.
At January 30, 2010, Journeys Group operated 1,025 stores, including 150 Journeys Kidz stores and
56 Shi by Journeys stores, averaging approximately 1,875 square feet, throughout the United States
and in Puerto Rico, selling footwear for young men, women and children.
Journeys Group added 13 net new stores in Fiscal 2010, including nine net new Journeys Kidz stores
and one new Shi by Journeys store. Comparable store sales were down 3% from the prior fiscal year.
Journeys stores target customers in the 13-22 year age group through the use of youth-oriented
decor and popular music videos. Journeys stores carry predominately branded merchandise across a
wide range of prices. The Journeys Kidz retail footwear stores sell footwear primarily for younger
children ages five to 12. Shi by Journeys retail footwear stores sell footwear and accessories to
a target customer group consisting of fashion-conscious
4
women in their early 20’s to mid 30’s. From a base of 853 Journeys Group stores at the end of
Fiscal 2007, the Company opened 114 net new Journeys Group stores in Fiscal 2008, 45 net new stores
in Fiscal 2009 and 13 net new stores in Fiscal 2010 and plans to open no net new Journeys Group
stores in Fiscal 2011.
Underground Station Group
The Underground Station Group segment, including Underground Station and the remaining Jarman
retail stores, accounted for approximately 6% of the Company’s net sales in Fiscal 2010. Operating
loss attributable to Underground Station Group was ($4.6) million in Fiscal 2010, with an operating
margin of (4.6)%.
At January 30, 2010, Underground Station Group operated 170 stores, including 161 Underground
Station stores, averaging approximately 1,800 square feet, throughout the United States, selling
footwear and accessories primarily for men and women in the 20-35 age group and in the urban
market.
Underground Station stores are located primarily in urban markets. Comparable store sales were
down 7% for Underground Station Group for Fiscal 2010. For Fiscal 2010, most of the footwear sold
in Underground Station stores was branded merchandise, with the remainder made up of private label
brands. The product mix at each Underground Station store is tailored in response to local customer
preferences and competitive dynamics. The Company did not open any Underground Station stores in
Fiscal 2010 and closed eight Underground Station stores and two Jarman stores, leaving the total
number of Underground Station Group stores at 170. The Company plans to close approximately 21
Underground Station Group stores in Fiscal 2011. The Company plans to shorten the average lease
life on Underground Station stores, close certain underperforming stores as the opportunity
presents itself, and attempt to secure rent relief on other locations while it assesses the future
prospects for the chain. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Hat World Group
The Hat World Group segment, including Hat World, Lids, Hat Shack, Hat Zone, Head Quarters, Cap
Connection and Lids Locker Room retail stores, internet sales, Sports Fan-Attic retail stores,
acquired in November 2009, and the Impact Sports and Great Plains Sports team dealer businesses
acquired in November 2008 and September 2009, respectively, accounted for approximately 30% of the
Company’s net sales in Fiscal 2010. Operating income attributable to Hat World Group was $44.0
million in Fiscal 2010, with an operating margin of 9.5%.
At January 30, 2010, Hat World Group operated 921 stores, averaging approximately 900 square feet,
throughout the United States, and in Puerto Rico and Canada. Hat World Group added 36 net new
stores in Fiscal 2010, including 38 acquired stores, and plans to open approximately 26 net new
stores in Fiscal 2011.
Comparable store sales for Hat World Group were up 3% for Fiscal 2010. The core stores and kiosks,
located in malls, airports, street level stores and factory outlet stores nationwide and in Canada,
target customers in the early-teens to mid-20’s age group. In general, the stores offer headwear
from an assortment of college, MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL teams, as well as other specialty fashion
categories. Sports Fan-Attic stores, acquired in November 2009, located in malls primarily in the
southeastern United States, target sports fans of all ages. These stores offer headwear, apparel,
accessories and novelties from an assortment of college and professional teams.
5
Johnston & Murphy Group
The Johnston & Murphy Group segment, including retail stores, catalog and internet sales and
wholesale distribution, accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s net sales in Fiscal 2010.
Operating income attributable to Johnston & Murphy Group was $5.5 million in Fiscal 2010, with an
operating margin of 3.3%. All of the Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales are of the Genesco-owned
Johnston & Murphy brand and approximately 98% of the group’s retail sales are of Johnston & Murphy
branded products.
Johnston & Murphy Retail Operations. At January 30, 2010, Johnston & Murphy operated 160 retail
shops and factory stores throughout the United States averaging approximately 1,700 square feet and
selling footwear, luggage and accessories primarily for men, targeting business and professional
customers. Johnston & Murphy introduced a line of women’s footwear and accessories in select
Johnston & Murphy retail shops in the fall of 2008. Johnston & Murphy retail shops are located
primarily in better malls nationwide and in airports and sell a broad range of men’s dress and
casual footwear and accessories. The Company also sells Johnston & Murphy products directly to
consumers through a direct mail catalog and an e-commerce website. Comparable store sales for
Johnston & Murphy retail operations were down 8% for Fiscal 2010. Retail prices for Johnston &
Murphy footwear generally range from $110 to $250. Casual and dress casual footwear accounted for
39% of total Johnston & Murphy retail sales in Fiscal 2010, with the balance consisting of dress
shoes, luggage and accessories. Johnston & Murphy Group added three net new shops and factory
stores in Fiscal 2010 and plans to open approximately five net new shops and factory stores in
Fiscal 2011.
Johnston & Murphy Wholesale Operations. In addition to Company-owned Johnston & Murphy retail
shops and factory stores, Johnston & Murphy men’s footwear is sold at wholesale, primarily to
better department and independent specialty stores. Johnston & Murphy’s wholesale customers offer
the brand’s footwear for dress, dress casual, and casual occasions, with the majority of styles
offered in these channels selling from $100-$165.
Licensed Brands
The Licensed Brands segment accounted for approximately 6% of the Company’s net sales in Fiscal
2010. Operating income attributable to Licensed Brands was $12.4 million in Fiscal 2010, with an
operating margin of 13.3%. Substantially all of the Licensed Brands sales are of footwear marketed
under the Dockers® brand, for which Genesco has had the exclusive men’s
footwear license in the United States since 1991. See “Trademarks and Licenses.” Dockers footwear
is marketed to men aged 30-55 through many of the same national retail chains that carry Dockers
slacks and sportswear and in department and specialty stores across the country. Suggested retail
prices for Dockers footwear generally range from $50 to $90.
For further information on the Company’s business segments, see Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.”
Manufacturing
and Sourcing
The Company relies on independent third-party manufacturers for production of its footwear products
sold at wholesale. The Company sources footwear and accessory products from foreign manufacturers
in jurisdictions located in China, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Peru, Portugal,
Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh and the Dominican Republic. The Company’s retail operations source
primarily branded products from third parties, who source primarily overseas.
6
Competition is intense in the footwear and headwear industry. The Company’s retail footwear and
headwear competitors range from small, locally owned stores to regional and national department
stores, discount stores, and specialty chains. The Company also competes with hundreds of footwear
wholesale operations in the United States and throughout the world, most of which are relatively
small, specialized operations, but some of which are large, more diversified companies. Some of the
Company’s competitors have resources that are not available to the Company. The Company’s success
depends upon its ability to remain competitive with respect to the key factors of style, price,
quality, comfort, brand loyalty, customer service, store location and atmosphere and the ability to
offer distinctive products.
The Company owns its Johnston & Murphy brand and the trade names of its retail concepts either
directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Dockers® brand footwear
line, introduced in Fiscal 1993, is sold under a license agreement granting the exclusive right to
sell men’s footwear under the trademark in the United States, Canada and Mexico and in certain
other Latin American countries. The Dockers license agreement, as amended, expires on December 31,
2012. Net sales of Dockers products were $88 million in Fiscal 2010 and $92 million in Fiscal
2009. The Company licenses certain of its footwear brands, mostly in foreign markets. License
royalty income was not material in Fiscal 2010.
Most of the Company’s orders in the Company’s wholesale divisions are for delivery within 150 days.
Because most of the Company’s business is at-once, the backlog at any one time is not necessarily
indicative of future sales. As of February 27, 2010, the Company’s wholesale operations had a
backlog of orders, including unconfirmed customer purchase orders, amounting to approximately $33.8
million, compared to approximately $28.6 million on February 28, 2009. The backlog is somewhat
seasonal, reaching a peak in spring. The Company maintains in-stock programs for selected product
lines with anticipated high volume sales.
Genesco had approximately 13,900 employees at January 30, 2010, approximately 115 of whom were
employed in corporate staff departments and the balance in operations. Retail footwear and
headwear stores employ a substantial number of part-time employees, and approximately 7,400 of the
Company’s employees were part-time.
At January 30, 2010, the Company operated 2,276 retail footwear, headwear and sports apparel and
accessories stores throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico and Canada. New shopping center
store leases typically are for a term of approximately 10 years and new factory outlet leases
typically are for a term of approximately five years. Both typically provide for rent based on a
percentage of sales against a fixed minimum rent based on the square footage leased.
The Company operates six distribution centers (three of which are owned and three of which are
leased) aggregating approximately 1,100,000 square feet. Four of the facilities are located in
Tennessee, one in Indiana and one in Canada. The Company’s executive offices and the offices of
its footwear operations, which are leased, are in Nashville, Tennessee where Genesco occupies
approximately 78% of a 295,000 square foot building. The offices of the Company’s headwear
operations, which are leased, are in a 43,000 square foot building in Indianapolis, Indiana. The
offices and warehouses of the Company’s Impact Sports business, which are leased, are in two
7
buildings, totaling 62,000 square feet, in Deforest, Wisconsin. The office and sporting goods
store of the Company’s Great Plains Sports business, which are leased, are in a 5,000 square foot
building in St. Paul, Minnesota. The office and warehouse of the Company’s Sports Fan-Attic
business, which are leased, are in a 7,000 square foot building in Tampa, Florida.
The lease on the Company’s Nashville office expires in April 2017, with an option to renew for an
additional five years. The lease on the Indianapolis office expires in May 2015. The Company
believes that all leases of properties that are material to its operations may be renewed on terms
not materially less favorable to the Company than existing leases.
The Company’s former manufacturing operations and the sites of those operations are subject to
numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to human health and safety and the
environment. These laws and regulations address and regulate, among other matters, wastewater
discharge, air quality and the generation, handling, storage, treatment, disposal, and
transportation of solid and hazardous wastes and releases of hazardous substances into the
environment. In addition, third parties and governmental agencies in some cases have the power
under such laws and regulations to require remediation of environmental conditions and, in the case
of governmental agencies, to impose fines and penalties. Several of the facilities owned by the
Company (currently or in the past) are located in industrial areas and have historically been used
for extensive periods for industrial operations such as tanning, dyeing, and manufacturing. Some of
these operations used materials and generated wastes that would be considered regulated substances
under current environmental laws and regulations. The Company currently is involved in certain
administrative and judicial environmental proceedings relating to the Company’s former facilities.
See Item 3, Legal Proceedings.
Our business is subject to significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and
uncertainties described below and the other information in this Form 10-K, including our
consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not
presently know about or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business
operations and financial performance. If any of the events described below actually occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected in a material
way. This could cause the trading price of our stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may
lose part or all of your investment.
Poor economic conditions affect consumer spending and may significantly harm our business,
affecting our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.
The success of our business depends to a significant extent upon the level of consumer spending. A
number of factors may affect the level of consumer spending on merchandise that we offer,
including, among other things:
| |
• |
|
general economic, industry and weather conditions; |
| |
| |
• |
|
energy costs, which affect gasoline and home heating prices; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the level of consumer debt; |
| |
| |
• |
|
interest rates; |
| |
| |
• |
|
tax rates and policies; |
| |
| |
• |
|
war, terrorism and other hostilities; and
|
8
| |
• |
|
consumer confidence in future economic conditions. |
Adverse economic conditions and any related decrease in consumer demand for discretionary items
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. The merchandise we sell generally consists of discretionary items. Reduced consumer
confidence and spending may result in reduced demand for discretionary items and may force us to
take inventory markdowns. Reduced demand may also require increased selling and promotional
expenses.
Moreover, while the Company believes that its operating cash flows and its borrowing capacity under
committed lines of credit will be more than adequate for its anticipated cash requirements, if the
current economic downturn is more protracted or severe than currently anticipated, or if one or
more of the Company’s revolving credit banks were to fail to honor its commitments under the
Company’s credit lines, the Company could be required to modify its operations for increased cash
flow or to seek alternative sources of liquidity, and such alternative sources may not be available
to the Company.
Finally, deterioration in the Company’s market value, whether related to the Company’s operating
performance or to further disruptions in the equity markets or deterioration in the operating
performance of the business unit with which goodwill is associated, could require the Company to
recognize the impairment of some or all of the $119.0 million of goodwill on its Consolidated
Balance Sheets at January 30, 2010, resulting in the reduction of net assets and a corresponding
non-cash charge to earnings in the amount of the impairment.
Our business involves a degree of fashion risk.
Certain of our businesses serve a fashion-conscious customer base and depend upon the ability of
our buyers and merchandisers to react to fashion trends, to purchase inventory that reflects such
trends, and to manage our inventories appropriately in view of the potential for sudden changes in
fashion or in consumer taste. Failure to continue to execute any of these activities successfully
could result in adverse consequences, including lower sales, product margins, operating income and
cash flows.
Our business and results of operations are subject to a broad range of uncertainties arising out of
world and domestic events.
Our business and results of operations are subject to uncertainties arising out of world and
domestic events, which may impact not only consumer demand, but also our ability to obtain the
products we sell, most of which are produced outside the United States. These uncertainties
may include a global economy slowdown, changes in consumer spending or travel, the increase in
gasoline and natural gas prices, and the economic consequences of military action or terrorist
activities. Any future events arising as a result of terrorist activity or other world events
may have a material impact on our business, including the demand for and our ability to source
products, and consequently on our results of operations and financial condition. Demand can
also be influenced by other factors beyond our control. For example, Hat World’s sales have
historically been affected by developments in team sports, and could be adversely impacted by
player strikes or other season interruptions, as well as by the performance and reputation of
certain key teams.
9
Our business is intensely competitive and increased or new competition could have a material
adverse effect on us.
The retail footwear, headwear and accessories markets are intensely competitive. We currently
compete against a diverse group of retailers, including other regional and national specialty
stores, department and discount stores, small independents and e-commerce retailers, which sell
products similar to and often identical to those we sell. Our branded businesses, selling footwear
at wholesale, also face intense competition, both from other branded wholesale vendors and from
private label initiatives of their retailer customers. A number of different competitive factors
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition, including:
| |
• |
|
increased operational efficiencies of competitors; |
| |
| |
• |
|
competitive pricing strategies; |
| |
| |
• |
|
expansion by existing competitors; |
| |
| |
• |
|
entry by new competitors into markets in which we currently operate; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
adoption by existing retail competitors of innovative store formats or sales
methods. |
We are dependent on third-party vendors for the merchandise we sell.
We do not manufacture any of the merchandise we sell. This means that our product supply is
subject to the ability and willingness of third-party suppliers to deliver merchandise we order on
time and in the quantities and of the quality we need. In addition, a material portion of our
retail footwear sales consists of products marketed under brands, belonging to unaffiliated
vendors, which have fashion significance to our customers. Our core retail hat business is
dependent upon products bearing sports and other logos, each generally controlled by a single
licensee/vendor. If those vendors were to decide not to sell to us or to limit the availability of
their products to us, or if they are unable because of economic conditions or any other reason to
supply us with products, we could be unable to offer our customers the products they wish to buy
and could lose their business to competitors.
An increase in the cost or a disruption in the flow of our imported products may significantly
decrease our sales and profits.
Merchandise originally manufactured and imported from overseas makes up a large proportion of our
total inventory. A disruption in the shipping of our imported merchandise or an increase in the
cost of those products may significantly decrease our sales and profits. In addition, if imported
merchandise becomes more expensive or unavailable, the transition to alternative sources may not
occur in time to meet demand. Products from alternative sources may also be of lesser quality or
more expensive than those we currently import. Risks associated with our reliance on imported
products include:
| |
• |
|
disruptions in the shipping and importation of imported products because of factors
such as: |
| |
• |
|
raw material shortages, work stoppages, strikes and political unrest; |
| |
| |
• |
|
problems with oceanic shipping, including shipping container shortages; |
| |
| |
• |
|
increased customs inspections of import shipments or other factors causing
delays in shipments;
|
10
| |
• |
|
economic crises, international disputes and wars; and |
| |
• |
|
increases in the cost of purchasing or shipping foreign merchandise resulting from: |
| |
• |
|
denial by the United States of “most favored nation” trading status to or the
imposition of quotas or other restrictions on import from a foreign country from
which we purchase goods; |
| |
| |
• |
|
import duties, import quotas and other trade sanctions; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
increases in shipping rates. |
A significant amount of the inventory we sell is imported from the People’s Republic of China,
which has in recent years been subject to efforts to increase duty rates or to impose restrictions
on imports of certain products.
A small portion of the products we buy abroad are priced in foreign currencies and, therefore, we
are affected by fluctuating currency exchange rates. In the past, we have entered into foreign
currency exchange contracts with major financial institutions to hedge these fluctuations. We might
not be able to effectively protect ourselves in the future against currency rate fluctuations, and
our financial performance could suffer as a result. Even dollar-denominated foreign purchases may
be affected by currency fluctuations, as suppliers seek to reflect appreciation in the local
currency against the dollar in the price of the products that they provide. You should read
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more
information about our foreign currency exchange rate exposure and hedging activities.
The operation of the Company’s business is heavily dependent on its information systems.
We depend on a variety of information technology systems for the efficient functioning of our
business and security of information. We rely on certain software vendors to maintain and
periodically upgrade many of these systems so that they can continue to support our business. The
software programs supporting many of our systems were licensed to the Company by independent
software developers. The inability of these developers or the Company to continue to maintain and
upgrade these information systems and software programs could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of
our operations. In addition, costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with the
implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology or with maintenance or adequate support of
existing systems could also disrupt or reduce the efficiency of our operations or leave the Company
vulnerable to security breaches. We also rely heavily on our information technology staff. If we
cannot meet our staffing needs in this area, we may not be able to fulfill our technology
initiatives or to provide maintenance on existing systems.
The loss of, or disruption in, one of our distribution centers and other factors affecting the
distribution of merchandise, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Each of our operations depends on a single distribution facility. Most of the operation’s
inventory is shipped directly from suppliers to its distribution center, where the inventory is
then processed, sorted and shipped to our stores or to our wholesale customers. We depend on the
orderly operation of this receiving and distribution process, which depends, in turn, on adherence
to shipping schedules and effective management of the distribution centers.
11
Although we believe that our receiving and distribution process is efficient and well positioned to
support our current business and our expansion plans, we cannot assure you that we have anticipated
all of the changing demands which our expanding operations will impose on our receiving and
distribution system, or that events beyond our control, such as disruptions in operations due to
fire or other catastrophic events, labor disagreements or shipping problems (whether in our own or
in our third party vendors’ or carriers’ businesses), will not result in delays in the delivery of
merchandise to our stores or to our wholesale customers. We also make changes in our distribution
processes from time to time in an effort to improve efficiency, maximize capacity, etc. We cannot
assure that these changes will not result in unanticipated delays or interruptions in distribution.
We depend upon UPS for shipment of a significant amount of merchandise. An interruption in
service by UPS for any reason could cause temporary disruptions in our business, a loss of sales
and profits, and other material adverse effects.
Our freight cost is impacted by changes in fuel prices through surcharges. Fuel prices and
surcharges affect freight cost both on inbound freight from vendors to our distribution centers and
outbound freight from our distribution centers to our stores and wholesale customers. Increases in
fuel prices and surcharges and other factors may increase freight costs and thereby increase our
cost of goods sold.
We face a number of risks in opening new stores.
As part of our long-term growth strategy, we expect to open new stores, both in regional malls,
where most of our operational experience lies, and in other venues with which we are less familiar,
including lifestyle centers, major city street locations, and tourist
destinations. However, because of
economic conditions and the availability of appropriate locations, we slowed our pace of
new store openings over the past two fiscal years, and intend to continue to be selective with
respect to new locations, and to open fewer stores than in recent years in Fiscal 2011. We
increased our net store base by 166 in Fiscal 2008, 59 in Fiscal 2009 and 42 in Fiscal 2010; and
currently plan to increase our net store base by approximately 10 stores in Fiscal 2011. We cannot
assure you when we will resume a more aggressive store-opening pace or that, when we do, we will be
able to continue our history of operating new stores profitably. Further, we cannot assure you that
any new store will achieve similar operating results to those of our existing stores or that new
stores opened in markets in which we operate will not have a material adverse effect on the
revenues and profitability of our existing stores. The success of our planned expansion will be
dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
| |
• |
|
our ability to identify suitable markets and individual store sites within those
markets; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the competition for suitable store sites; |
| |
| |
• |
|
our ability to negotiate favorable lease terms for new stores and renewals
(including rent and other costs) with landlords; |
| |
| |
• |
|
our ability to obtain governmental and other third-party consents, permits and
licenses needed to construct and operate our stores; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the ability to build and remodel stores on schedule and at acceptable cost; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the availability of employees to staff new stores and our ability to hire, train,
motivate and retain store personnel; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the availability of adequate management and financial resources to manage an
increased number of stores; |
12
| |
• |
|
our ability to adapt our distribution and other operational and management systems
to an expanded network of stores; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
our ability to attract customers and generate sales sufficient to operate new
stores profitably. |
Additionally, the results we expect to achieve during each fiscal quarter are dependent upon
opening new stores on schedule. If we fall behind, we will lose expected sales and earnings
between the planned opening date and the actual opening and may further complicate the logistics of
opening stores, possibly resulting in additional delays.
From time to time, we invest in short-term cash equivalent instruments at commercial banking
institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
We invest excess cash in immediately available interest bearing cash equivalent instruments. If a
commercial bank in which we have our funds deposited should become insolvent or be taken over by
the FDIC, we could have significant unrecoverable cash deposits. A loss in cash deposits would
have an adverse impact on our financial statements.
Our results of operations are subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, which could have a
material adverse effect on the market price of our stock.
Our business is highly seasonal, with a significant portion of our net sales and operating income
generated during the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday shopping season. Because a
significant percentage of our net sales and operating income is generated in the fourth quarter, we
have limited ability to compensate for shortfalls in fourth quarter sales or earnings by changes in
our operations or strategies in other quarters. A significant shortfall in results for the fourth
quarter of any year could have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and on
the market price of our stock. Our quarterly results of operations also may fluctuate significantly
based on such factors as:
| |
• |
|
the timing of new store openings and renewals; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores; |
| |
| |
• |
|
the timing of certain holidays and sales events; |
| |
| |
• |
|
changes in our merchandise mix; |
| |
| |
• |
|
general economic, industry and weather conditions that affect consumer spending;
and |
| |
| |
• |
|
actions of competitors, including promotional activity. |
A failure to increase sales at our existing stores may adversely affect our stock price and
impact our results of operations.
A number of factors have historically affected, and will continue to affect, our comparable store
sales results, including:
| |
• |
|
consumer trends, such as less disposable income due to the impact of economic
conditions; |
| |
| |
• |
|
competition; |
| |
| |
• |
|
timing of holidays including sales tax holidays; |
| |
| |
• |
|
general regional and national economic conditions;
|
13
| |
• |
|
inclement weather; |
| |
| |
• |
|
changes in our merchandise mix; |
| |
| |
• |
|
our ability to distribute merchandise efficiently to our stores; |
| |
| |
• |
|
timing and type of sales events, promotional activities or other advertising; |
| |
| |
• |
|
new merchandise introductions; and |
| |
| |
• |
|
our ability to execute our business strategy effectively. |
Our comparable store sales results have fluctuated in the past, and we believe such fluctuations
may continue. The unpredictability of our comparable store sales may cause our revenue and results
of operations to vary from quarter to quarter, and an unanticipated change in revenues or operating
income may cause our stock price to fluctuate significantly.
We are subject to regulatory proceedings and litigation that could have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
We are party to certain lawsuits, governmental investigations, and regulatory proceedings,
including the suits and proceedings arising out of alleged environmental contamination relating to
historical operations of the Company and various suits involving current operations as disclosed in
Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If these or similar matters are resolved against
us, our results of operations or our financial condition could be adversely affected. The costs of
defending such lawsuits and responding to such investigations and regulatory proceedings may be
substantial and their potential to distract management from day-to-day business is significant.
Moreover, with retail operations in 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada, we
are subject to federal, state, provincial, territorial and local regulations which impose costs and
risks on our business. Changes in regulations could make compliance more difficult and costly, and
inadvertent violations could result in liability for damages or penalties.
If we lose key members of management or are unable to attract and retain the talent required for
our business, our operating results could suffer.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of members of our management team.
Our executives have substantial experience and expertise in our business and have made significant
contributions to our growth and success. The unexpected future loss of services of one or more key
members of our management team could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, future
performance will depend upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees,
including store personnel and field management. If we are unable to do so, our ability to meet our
operating goals may be compromised. Finally, our stores are decentralized, are managed through a
network of geographically dispersed management personnel and historically experience a high degree
of turnover. If we are for any reason unable to maintain appropriate controls on store operations,
including the ability to control losses resulting from inventory and cash shrinkage, our sales and
operating margins may be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract
and retain the personnel we need in the future.
14
Any acquisitions we make or new businesses we launch involve a degree of risk.
We have in the past, and may in the future, engage in acquisitions or launch new businesses to grow
our revenues and meet our other strategic objectives. If any future acquisitions are not
successfully integrated with our business, our ongoing operations could be adversely affected.
Additionally, acquisitions or new businesses may not achieve desired profitability objectives or
result in any anticipated successful expansion of the businesses or concepts. Although we review
and analyze assets or companies we acquire, such reviews are subject to uncertainties and may not
reveal all potential risks. Additionally, although we attempt to obtain protective contractual
provisions, such as representations, warranties and indemnities, in connection with acquisitions,
we cannot assure you that we can obtain such provisions in our acquisitions or that they will fully
protect us from unforeseen costs of the acquisitions. We may also incur significant costs in
connection with pursuing possible acquisitions even if the acquisition is not ultimately
consummated.

ITEM 3, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Environmental Matters
New York State Environmental Matters
In August 1997, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) and the
Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company assumed responsibility for conducting a
remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RIFS”) and implementing an interim remedial measure
(“IRM”) with regard to the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company
from 1965 to 1969. The Company undertook the IRM and RIFS voluntarily, without admitting liability
or accepting responsibility for any future remediation of the site. The Company has completed the
IRM and the RIFS. In the course of preparing the RIFS, the Company identified remedial
alternatives with estimated undiscounted costs ranging from $-0- to $24.0 million, excluding
amounts previously expended or provided for by the Company. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (“EPA”), which has assumed primary regulatory responsibility for the site from
NYSDEC, issued a Record of Decision in September 2007. The Record of Decision requires a remedy of
a combination of groundwater extraction and treatment and in-site chemical oxidation at an
estimated present worth cost of approximately $10.7 million.
In July 2009, the Company agreed to a Consent Order with the EPA requiring the Company to perform
certain remediation actions, operations, maintenance and monitoring at the site. In September
2009, a Consent Judgment embodying the Consent Order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York.
The Village of Garden City, New York, has asserted that the Company is liable for the costs
associated with enhanced treatment required by the impact of the groundwater plume from the site on
two public water supply wells, including historical costs ranging from approximately $1.8 million
to in excess of $2.5 million, and future operation and maintenance costs which the
15
Village estimates at $126,400 annually while the enhanced treatment continues. On December 14,
2007, the Village filed a complaint against the Company and the owner of the property under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) as well as a number of state law
theories in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, seeking an injunction
requiring the defendants to remediate contamination from the site and to establish their liability
for future costs that may be incurred in connection with it, which the complaint alleges could
exceed $41 million over a 70-year period. The Company has not verified the estimates of either
historic or future costs asserted by the Village, but believes that an estimate of future costs
based on a 70-year remediation period is unreasonable given the expected remedial period reflected
in the EPA’s Record of Decision. On May 23, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
Village’s complaint on grounds including applicable statutes of limitation and preemption of
certain claims by the NYSDEC’s and the EPA’s diligent prosecution of remediation. On January 27,
2009, the Court granted the motion to dismiss all counts of the plaintiff’s complaint except for
the CERCLA claim and a state law claim for indemnity for costs incurred after November 27, 2000.
On September 23, 2009, on a motion for reconsideration by the Village, the Court reinstated the
claims for injunctive relief under RCRA and for equitable relief under certain of the state law
theories.
In December 2005, the EPA notified the Company that it considers the Company a potentially
responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to contamination at two Superfund sites in upstate New York.
The sites were used as landfills for process wastes generated by a glue manufacturer, which
acquired tannery wastes from several tanners, allegedly including the Company’s Whitehall tannery,
for use as raw materials in the gluemaking process. The Company has no records indicating that it
ever provided raw materials to the gluemaking operation and has not been able to establish whether
the EPA’s substantive allegations are accurate. The Company, together with other tannery PRPs, has
entered into cost sharing agreements and Consent Decrees with the EPA with respect to both sites.
Based upon the current estimates of the cost of remediation, the Company’s share is expected to be
less than $250,000 in total for the two sites. While there is no assurance that the Company’s
share of the actual cost of remediation will not exceed the estimate, the Company does not
presently expect that its aggregate exposure with respect to these two landfill sites will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Whitehall Environmental Matters
The Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil, sediments, surface water, groundwater and
waste management areas at the Company’s former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall,
Michigan.
The Company has submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) and provided
for certain costs associated with a remedial action plan (the “Plan”) designed to bring the
property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial uses and has subsequently
engaged in negotiations regarding the scope of the Plan. The Company estimates that the costs of
resolving environmental contingencies related to the Whitehall property range from $3.9 million to
$4.4 million, and considers the cost of implementing the Plan, as it is modified in the course of
negotiations with the MDEQ, to be the most likely cost within that range. Until the Plan is
finally approved by the MDEQ, management cannot provide assurances that no further remediation will
be required or that its estimate of the range of possible costs or of the most likely cost of
remediation will prove accurate.
16
Accrual for Environmental Contingencies
Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, the Company had accrued $15.9 million as of
January 30, 2010, $16.0 million as of January 31, 2009 and $7.8 million as of February 2, 2008.
All such provisions reflect the Company’s estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted,
including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and
circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and
circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent
liabilities are included in the liability arising from provision for discontinued operations on the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of
these contingencies, including approximately $0.8 million reflected in Fiscal 2010, $9.4 million in
Fiscal 2009 and $2.9 million in Fiscal 2008. These charges are included in provision for
discontinued operations, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Merger-Related Litigation
Genesco Inc. v. The Finish Line, et al.
UBS Securities LLC and UBS Loan Finance LLC v. Genesco Inc., et al.
On June 18, 2007, the Company announced that the boards of directors of Genesco and The Finish Line
had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement under which The Finish Line would acquire
all of the outstanding common shares of Genesco at $54.50 per share in cash. On September 21,
2007, the Company filed suit against The Finish Line in Chancery Court in Nashville, Tennessee
seeking a court order requiring The Finish Line to consummate the merger with the Company (the
“Tennessee Action”). UBS Securities LLC and UBS Loan Finance LLC (collectively, “UBS”)
subsequently intervened as a defendant in the Tennessee Action, filed an answer to the amended
complaint and a counterclaim asserting fraud against the Company.
On November 15, 2007, UBS filed a separate lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the “New York Action”), naming the Company and The Finish Line as
defendants. In the New York Action, UBS sought a declaration that its commitment to provide The
Finish Line with financing for the merger transaction was void and/or could be terminated by UBS
because The Finish Line would not be able to provide, prior to the expiration of the financing
commitment on April 30, 2008, a valid solvency certificate attesting to the solvency of the
combined entities resulting from the merger, which certificate was a condition precedent to the
closing of the financing. The Company was named in the New York Action as an interested party.
Trial of the Tennessee Action began on December 10, 2007 and concluded on December 18, 2007. On
December 27, 2007, the Chancery Court ordered The Finish Line to specifically perform the terms of
the Merger Agreement. In its order, the Court rejected UBS’s and The Finish Line’s claims of fraud
and misrepresentation and declared that all conditions to the Merger Agreement had been met. The
Court also declared that The Finish Line had breached the Merger Agreement by not closing the
merger. The Court ordered The Finish Line to close the merger pursuant to section 1.2 of the
Merger Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions to consummate the merger
as required by section 6.4(d) of the Merger Agreement, and to use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain financing as per section 6.8(a) of the Merger Agreement. The Court excluded from its order
any ruling on the issue of the solvency of the combined company, finding that the issue of solvency
was reserved for determination by the New York Court in the New York Action filed by UBS.
17
On March 3, 2008, the Company, The Finish Line, and UBS entered into a definitive agreement for the
termination of the merger agreement with The Finish Line and the settlement of all related
litigation among The Finish Line and the Company and UBS, including the Tennessee Action and the
New York Action. In the settlement agreement, the parties agreed that: (1) the merger agreement
between the Company and The Finish Line would be terminated; (2) the financing commitment from UBS
to The Finish Line would be terminated; (3) UBS and The Finish Line would pay to the Company an
aggregate of $175 million in cash; (4) The Finish Line would transfer to the Company a number of
Class A shares of The Finish Line common stock equal to 12.0% of the total post-issuance
outstanding shares of The Finish Line common stock which the Company would use its best efforts to
distribute to its common shareholders as soon as practicable after the shares’ registration and
listing on NASDAQ; (5) the Company and The Finish Line would be subject to a mutual standstill
agreement; and (6) the parties would execute customary mutual releases. Stipulations of Dismissal
were filed by all parties to both the New York Action and the Tennessee Action, and both Actions
were dismissed. The Company distributed the shares of The Finish Line common stock received in the
settlement to the Company’s shareholders during the second quarter of Fiscal 2009.
California Matters
On June 16, 2008, there was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
Shasta, a putative class action styled Jacobs v. Genesco Inc. et al., alleging violations of the
California Labor Code involving payment of wages, failure to provide mandatory meal and rest
breaks, and unfair competition, and seeking back pay, penalties and declaratory and injunctive
relief. The Company removed the case to the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
California. On September 3, 2008, the court dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims, including
claims for conversion and punitive damages. On May 5, 2009, the Company and the plaintiff’s
counsel reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit on a claims made basis. On January
21, 2010, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The minimum payment by the
Company pursuant to the agreement, which remains subject to final court approval, is $398,000; the
maximum is $703,000.
Patent Action
The Company is named as a defendant in Paul Ware and Financial Systems Innovation, L.L.C. v.
Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., et al., filed on June 19, 2007, in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia, against more than 100 retailers. The suit alleges that
the defendants have infringed U.S. Patent No. 4,707,592 by using a feature of their retail point of
sale registers to generate transaction numbers for credit card purchases. The complaint seeks
treble damages in an unspecified amount and attorneys’ fees. The Company has filed an answer
denying the substantive allegations in the complaint and asserting certain affirmative defenses.
On December 14, 2007, the Company filed a third-party complaint against Datavantage Corporation and
MICROS Systems, Inc., its vendor for the technology at issue in the case, seeking indemnification
and defense against the infringement allegations in the complaint. On December 27, 2007, the court
stayed proceedings in the litigation pending the outcome of a reexamination of the patent by the U.
S. Patent and Trademark Office. On September 15, 2008, the patent examiner issued a first Office
Action rejecting all of the claims in the patent as being unpatentable over the prior art. On
January 21, 2009, the examiner issued a final office action again rejecting all of the claims in
the patent. In April 2009, the examiner issued a Notice of Intent to Issue an Ex Parte
Reexamination Certificate for the patent. The litigation is in discovery.
18
Other Matters
In addition to the matters specifically described in this footnote, the Company is a party to other
legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While
management does not believe that the Company’s liability with respect to any of these other matters
is likely to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations, legal
proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could have a material
adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

ITEM 7, MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This discussion and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as Item 1,
Business, include certain forward-looking statements, which include statements regarding our
intent, belief or expectations and all statements other than those made solely with respect to
historical fact. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected by the
forward-looking statements in this discussion and a number of factors may adversely affect the
forward looking statements and the Company’s future results, liquidity, capital resources or
prospects. These include continuing weakness in the consumer economy, inability of customers to
obtain credit, fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company’s retail
product offerings, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers, bankruptcies or
deterioration in financial condition of significant wholesale customers, disruptions in product
supply or distribution, unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and
materials costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products, competition in the Company’s
markets and changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting
period-to-period sales comparisons. Additional factors that could affect the Company’s prospects
and cause differences from expectations include the ability to build, open, staff and support
additional retail stores, to renew leases in existing stores and to conduct required remodeling or
refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels, deterioration in the performance of
individual businesses or of the Company’s market value relative to its book value, resulting in
impairments of fixed assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences,
unexpected changes to the market for our shares, variations from expected pension-related charges
caused by conditions in the financial markets, and the outcome of litigation and environmental
matters involving the Company. For a discussion of additional risk factors, See Item 1A, Risk
Factors.
Overview
Description of Business
The Company is a leading retailer of branded footwear, of licensed and branded headwear and of
licensed sports apparel and accessories, operating 2,276 retail footwear, headwear and sports

through a direct-to-consumer catalog and e-commerce operation.
The Company entered into an exclusive license with Levi Strauss & Co. to market men’s footwear in
the United States under the Dockers® brand name in 1991. Levi Strauss & Co. and the
Company have subsequently added additional territories, including Canada and Mexico and in certain
other Latin American countries. The Dockers license agreement was renewed May 15, 2009. The
Dockers license agreement, as amended, expires on December 31, 2012. The Company uses the Dockers
name to market casual and dress casual footwear to men aged 30 to 55 through many of the same
national retail chains that carry Dockers slacks and sportswear and in department and specialty
stores across the country.
25
Strategy
The Company’s long-term strategy for many years has been to seek organic growth by: 1) increasing
the Company’s store base, 2) increasing retail square footage, 3) improving comparable store
sales, 4) increasing operating margin and 5) enhancing the value of its brands. The pace of the
Company’s organic growth may be limited by saturation of its markets and by economic conditions.
In Fiscal 2010, the Company slowed the pace of new store openings and focused on inventory
management and cash flow in response to the recent economic downturn. The Company has also focused
on opportunities provided by the economic climate to negotiate occupancy cost reductions,
especially where lease provisions triggered by sales shortfalls or declining occupancy of malls
would permit the Company to terminate leases.
To supplement its organic growth potential, the Company has made acquisitions and expects to
consider acquisition opportunities, either to augment its existing businesses or to enter new
businesses that it considers compatible with its existing businesses, core expertise and strategic
profile. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including inaccurate valuation of the acquired
business, the assumption of undisclosed liabilities, the failure to integrate the acquired business
appropriately, and distraction of management from existing businesses. The Company seeks to
mitigate these risks by applying appropriate financial metrics in its valuation analysis and
developing and executing plans for due diligence and integration that are appropriate to each
acquisition.
More generally, the Company attempts to develop strategies to mitigate the risks it views as
material, including those discussed under the caption “Forward looking Statements,” above and those
discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors. Among the most important of these factors are those related to
consumer demand. Conditions in the external economy can affect demand, resulting in changes in
sales and, as prices are adjusted to drive sales and manage inventories, in gross margins. Because
fashion trends influencing many of the Company’s target customers (particularly customers of
Journeys Group, Underground Station Group and Hat World Group) can change rapidly, the Company
believes that its ability to react quickly to those changes has been important to its success. Even
when the Company succeeds in aligning its merchandise offerings with consumer preferences, those
preferences may affect results by, for example, driving sales of products with lower average
selling prices. Moreover, economic factors, such as the recession and the current high level of
unemployment, may reduce the consumer’s disposable income or his or her willingness to purchase
discretionary items, and thus may reduce demand for the Company’s merchandise, regardless of the
Company’s skill in detecting and responding to fashion trends. The Company believes its experience
and discipline in merchandising and the buying power associated with its relative size in the
industry are important to its ability to mitigate risks associated with changing customer
preferences and other reductions in consumer demand.
Summary of Results of Operations
The Company’s net sales increased 1.5% during Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009. The increase
was driven primarily by a 15% increase in Hat World Group sales, offset by a 10% decrease in
Underground Station Group sales, a 7% decrease in Johnston & Murphy Group sales, a 3% decrease in
Licensed Brands sales and a 1% decrease in Journeys Group sales. Gross margin increased as a
percentage of net sales during Fiscal 2010, primarily due to margin increases in the Journeys
Group, Underground Station Group and Licensed Brands offset by margin decreases in the Hat World
Group and Johnston & Murphy Group. Selling and administrative expenses
26
decreased as a percentage of net sales during Fiscal 2010, reflecting the absence of merger-related
expenses and expense decreases as a percentage of net sales in the Hat World Group, offset by
increases as a percentage of net sales in the Journeys Group, Underground Station Group, Johnston &
Murphy Group and Licensed Brands. Last year’s selling and administrative expenses included $8.0
million of expenses related to the terminated merger agreement and related litigation. See the
discussion under “Terminated Merger Agreement,” below. Earnings from operations decreased as a
percentage of net sales during Fiscal 2010, primarily due to the absence of the gain on the
settlement of merger-related litigation, decreased earnings from operations in the Johnston &
Murphy Group and Journeys Group, offset by the absence of merger-related expenses this year and
increased earnings from operations in the Hat World Group and Licensed Brands as well as a smaller
loss in the Underground Station Group.
Significant Developments
Change in Method of Accounting for Convertible Subordinated Debentures
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the Debt Topic, specifically
Debt with Conversion and Other Options, of the Codification to require the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to
separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the
instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The Company
adopted this update to the Codification as of February 1, 2009. The value assigned to the debt
component is the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument
without the conversion feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt
and the amount reflected as a debt liability is then recorded as additional paid-in capital. As a
result, the debt is effectively recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest
rate. The debt is subsequently accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of
interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations. The Company has applied this update to the Codification retrospectively to its
Consolidated Financial Statements, as required. The retroactive application of this update to the
Codification resulted in the recognition of additional pretax non-cash interest expense for Fiscal
2009 and 2008 of $3.1 and $2.8 million, respectively. For additional information, see Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Conversion of 4 1/8% Debentures
On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into separate exchange agreements whereby it acquired and
retired $56.4 million in aggregate principal amount ($51.3 million fair value) of its Debentures
due June 15, 2023 in exchange for the issuance of 3,066,713 shares of its common stock, which
include 2,811,575 shares that were reserved for conversion of the Debentures and 255,138 additional
inducement shares, and a cash payment of approximately $0.9 million. The inducement was not
deductible for tax purposes. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, holders of an aggregate of
$21.04 million principal amount of its 4 1/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were converted to
1,048,764 shares of common stock pursuant to separate conversion agreements which provided for
payment of an aggregate of $0.3 million to induce conversion. On November 4, 2009, the Company
issued a notice of redemption to the remaining holders of the $8.775 million outstanding 4 1/8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures. As permitted by the Indenture, holders of all except $1,000
in principal amount of the remaining Debentures converted their Debentures to 437,347 shares of
common stock prior to the redemption date of December 3, 2009. As a result of the exchange
agreements and
27
conversions, the Company recognized a loss on the early retirement of debt of $5.5 million in
Fiscal 2010, reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. After the exchanges and
conversions, there was zero aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding. For additional
information on the conversion of the Debentures, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Sports Fan-Attic Acquisition
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company’s Hat World subsidiary acquired the assets of
Sports Fan-Attic, a retailer of licensed sports headwear, apparel, accessories and novelties, with
37 stores in seven states as of January 30, 2010, for a purchase price of $13.9 million plus
assumed debt of $1.6 million with $4.5 million of that amount withheld until satisfaction of
certain closing contingencies. Subsequently, in February 2010, $3.0 million of the $4.5 million
was paid.
Great Plains Sports Acquisition
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Impact Sports division of Hat World acquired the assets of
Great Plains Sports of St. Paul, Minnesota, for a purchase price of $2.9 million plus assumed debt
of $1.1 million with $0.6 million withheld until satisfaction of certain closing contingencies.
Great Plains Sports is a dealer of branded athletic and team products for colleges, high schools,
corporations and youth organizations and also operates a sporting goods store in St. Paul,
Minnesota.
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2008, the board authorized up to $100.0 million in stock repurchases primarily funded with
the after-tax cash proceeds of the settlement of merger-related litigation discussed above under
the heading “Terminated Merger Agreement.” The Company repurchased 4.0 million shares at a cost of
$90.9 million during Fiscal 2009. The Company repurchased 85,000 shares at a cost of $2.0 million
during Fiscal 2010. In February 2010, the board increased the total repurchase authorization to
$35.0 million.
Terminated Merger Agreement
The Company announced in June 2007 that the boards of directors of both Genesco and The Finish
Line, Inc. had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement under which The Finish Line would
acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Genesco at $54.50 per share in cash (the “Proposed
Merger”). The Finish Line refused to close the Proposed Merger and litigation ensued. The
Proposed Merger and related agreement were terminated in March 2008 in connection with an agreement
to settle the litigation with The Finish Line and UBS Loan Finance LLC and UBS Securities LLC
(collectively, “UBS”) for a cash payment of $175.0 million to the Company and a 12% equity stake in
The Finish Line, which the Company received in the first quarter of Fiscal 2009. The Company
distributed the 12% equity stake, or 6,518,971 shares of Class A Common Stock of The Finish Line,
Inc., on June 13, 2008, to its common shareholders of record on May 30, 2008, as required by the
settlement agreement. During Fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed $8.0 million and $27.6
million, respectively, in merger-related litigation costs. The total merger-related litigation
costs for Fiscal 2008 of $27.6 million were tax deductible in Fiscal 2009 and resulted in a
permanent tax benefit reflected as a component of income tax expense. For additional information,
see the “Merger-Related Litigation” section in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
28
Restructuring and Other Charges
The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $13.5 million in Fiscal 2010. The charge
reflected in restructuring and other, net included $13.3 million for retail store asset impairments
and $0.4 million for lease terminations offset by $0.3 million for other legal matters. Also
included in the charge was $0.1 million in excess markdowns related to the lease terminations which
is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company recorded a total pretax charge to earnings of $7.7 million in Fiscal 2009. The charge
reflected in restructuring and other, net included $8.6 million of charges for retail store asset
impairments, $1.6 million for lease terminations and $1.1 million for other legal matters, offset
by a $3.8 million gain from a lease termination transaction. Also included in the charge was $0.2
million in excess markdowns related to the store lease terminations which is reflected in cost of
sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company recorded a total pretax charge to earnings of $10.6 million in Fiscal 2008. The charge
reflected in restructuring and other, net included $8.7 million of charges for retail store asset
impairments and $1.5 million for lease terminations, offset by $0.5 million in excise tax refunds
and an antitrust settlement. Also included in the charge was $0.9 million in excess markdowns
related to the lease terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Postretirement Benefit Liability Adjustments
The return on pension plan assets was a gain of $21.2 million for Fiscal 2010 compared to a loss of
$28.0 million in Fiscal 2009. The discount rate used to measure benefit obligations decreased from
6.875% to 5.625% in Fiscal 2010. As a result of the increase in return on plan assets partially
offset by the decrease in the discount rate, the pension liability decreased to $20.4 million
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets compared to $26.0 million in Fiscal 2009. There was a
decrease in the pension liability adjustment of $1.2 million (net of tax) in accumulated other
comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Depending upon future interest rates and returns on
plan assets, and other known and unknown factors, there can be no assurance that additional
adjustments in future periods will not be required.
Discontinued Operations
For the year ended January 30, 2010, the Company recorded an additional charge to earnings of $0.5
million ($0.3 million net of tax) reflected in discontinued operations, including $0.8 million
primarily for anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to former facilities
operated by the Company offset by a $0.3 million gain for excess provisions to prior discontinued
operations. For additional information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the year ended January 31, 2009, the Company recorded an additional charge to earnings of $9.0
million ($5.5 million net of tax) reflected in discontinued operations, including $9.4 million
primarily for anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to former facilities
operated by the Company offset by a $0.4 million gain for excess provisions to prior discontinued
operations. For additional information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the year ended February 2, 2008, the Company recorded an additional charge to earnings of $2.6
million ($1.6 million net of tax) reflected in discontinued operations, including $2.9 million
29
primarily for anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to former facilities
operated by the Company offset by a $0.3 million gain for excess provisions to prior discontinued
operations. For additional information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Inventory Valuation
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company values its inventories
at the lower of cost or market.
In its wholesale operations, cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Market is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the stock number level
based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices
reflected in future orders. The Company provides reserves when the inventory has not been marked
down to market based on current selling prices or when the inventory is not turning and is not
expected to turn at levels satisfactory to the Company.
In its retail operations, other than the Hat World segment, the Company employs the retail
inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under
the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is achieved as
markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of inventories.
Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates including
merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns, and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates, coupled
with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could produce a range of
cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent presentation, the Company
employs the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of inventory and analyzes markdown
requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling
price, and inventory age. In addition, the Company accrues markdowns as necessary. These
additional markdown accruals reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to
return products to vendors and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to
markdown provisions, the Company maintains provisions for shrinkage and damaged goods based on
historical rates.
The Hat World segment employs the moving average cost method for valuing inventories and applies
freight using an allocation method. The Company provides a valuation allowance for slow-moving
inventory based on negative margins and estimated shrink based on historical experience and
specific analysis, where appropriate.
Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective judgments
about current market conditions, fashion trends, and overall economic conditions. Failure to make
appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of
inventory value. A change of 10 percent from the recorded provisions for markdowns, shrinkage and
damaged goods would have changed inventory by $1.1 million at January 30, 2010.
30
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company periodically assesses
the realizability of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without
interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are
subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding
these judgments may result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets.
The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the
fair value and carrying value of the business unit with which the goodwill is associated. The
Company estimates fair value using the best information available, and computes the fair value by
an equal weighting of the results derived by a market approach and an income approach utilizing
discounted cash flow projections. The income approach uses a projection of a business unit’s
estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of
capital that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management’s best estimates
of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in sales, costs,
estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant
estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital
expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements.
If the carrying value of the business unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication
that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment
loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of business unit
goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the business unit was being
acquired in a business combination. Specifically, we would allocate the fair value to all of the
assets and liabilities of the business unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a
hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair
value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge
for the difference.
A key assumption in the Company’s fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital
utilized for discounting its cash flow projections in its income approach. The Company believes
the rate it used is consistent with the risks inherent in its business and with industry discount
rates. The Company performed sensitivity analyses on its estimated fair value using the income
approach. Holding all other assumptions constant as of the measurement date, the Company noted
that an increase in the weighted average cost of capital of 100 basis points would not result in
impairment of its goodwill.
Environmental and Other Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other
legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company has made provisions for certain of these contingencies, including
approximately $0.8 million reflected in Fiscal 2010, $9.4 million reflected in Fiscal 2009 and $2.9
million reflected in Fiscal 2008. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and, on a
quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s reserves and
31
accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of
changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods
when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to each proceeding
is a best estimate of probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no best
estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis
of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However, because
of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in
particular, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional reserves
to be set aside, that some or all reserves will be adequate or that the amounts of any such
additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Retail sales are recorded at the point of sale and are net of estimated returns and exclude sales
taxes. Catalog and internet sales are recorded at time of delivery to the customer and are net of
estimated returns and exclude sales taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns
and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the related goods have been
shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Shipping and handling costs charged to
customers are included in net sales. Estimated returns and allowances are based on historical
returns and allowances. Actual returns and allowances have not differed materially from estimates.
Actual returns and allowances in any future period may differ from historical experience.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required
to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. This
process involves estimating actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary
differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting
purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These
temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company then assesses the likelihood that its deferred
tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. Actual results could differ from
this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. To the extent
the Company believes that recovery of an asset is at risk, valuation allowances are
established. To the extent valuation allowances are established, or increased in a period,
the Company includes an expense within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Income tax reserves are determined using the methodology required by the Income Tax Topic of the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This methodology was adopted by the Company as of
February 4, 2007, and requires companies to assess each income tax position taken using a two
step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained, based upon the technical merits, upon examination by the taxing
authorities. If the tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the
benefit recorded for the tax position equals the largest amount that is greater than 50%
likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the respective tax position. Uncertain tax
positions require determinations and estimated liabilities to be made based on provisions of
the tax law which may be subject to change or varying interpretation. If the Company’s
determinations and estimates prove to be inaccurate, the resulting adjustments could be
material to its future financial results. See Note 11 to the
32
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding income taxes.
Postretirement Benefits Plan Accounting
Full-time employees who had at least 1,000 hours of service in calendar year 2004, except employees
in the Hat World segment, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. The Company froze the
defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2005. The Company also provides certain former
employees with limited medical and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum
amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
As required by the Compensation — Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, the Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of
postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in their Consolidated Balance Sheets and
to recognize changes in that funded status in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of
tax, in the year in which the changes occur. The Company is required to measure the funded
status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year end. The Company adopted the measurement
date change as of January 31, 2009. The Company was required to change the measurement date
for its defined benefit pension plan and postretirement benefit plan from December 31 to
January 31 (end of fiscal year). As a result of this change, pension expense and actuarial
gains/losses for the one-month period ended January 31, 2009 were recognized as adjustments to
retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss, respectively. The after-tax
charge to retained earnings was $0.1 million. The adoption of the measurement date provision
had no effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for Fiscal 2009 or any
prior period presented.
The Company accounts for the defined benefit pension plans using the Compensation-Retirement
Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. As permitted under this topic,
pension expense is recognized on an accrual basis over employees’ approximate service periods.
The calculation of pension expense and the corresponding liability requires the use of a
number of critical assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets
and the assumed discount rate, as well as the recognition of actuarial gains and losses.
Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts, and future
actual experience can differ from these assumptions.
Long Term Rate of Return Assumption — Pension expense increases as the expected rate of
return on pension plan assets decreases. The Company estimates that the pension plan assets will
generate a long-term rate of return of 8.25%. To develop this assumption, the Company considered
historical asset returns, the current asset allocation and future expectations of asset returns.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on a long-term investment policy of
50% U.S. equities, 13% international equities, 35% U.S. fixed income securities and 2% cash
equivalents. For Fiscal 2010, if the expected rate of return had been decreased by 1%, net pension
expense would have increased by $1.0 million, and if the expected rate of return had been increased
by 1%, net pension expense would have decreased by $1.0 million.
Discount Rate — Pension liability and future pension expense increase as the discount rate
is reduced. The Company discounted future pension obligations using a rate of 5.625%, 6.875% and
5.875% for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The discount rate at January 30, 2010 was
determined based on a yield curve of high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching the
Company’s plans’ expected benefit payments. For Fiscal 2010, if the discount rate had been
33
increased by 0.5%, net pension expense would have decreased by $0.5 million, and if the discount
rate had been decreased by 0.5%, net pension expense would have increased by $0.5 million. In
addition, if the discount rate had been increased by 0.5%, the projected benefit obligation would
have decreased by $4.4 million and the accumulated benefit obligation would have decreased by $4.4
million. If the discount rate had been decreased by 0.5%, the projected benefit obligation would
have been increased by $4.8 million and the accumulated benefit obligation would have increased by
$4.8 million.
Amortization of Gains and Losses — The Company utilizes a calculated value of assets,
which is an averaging method that recognizes changes in the fair values of assets over a period of
five years. At the end of Fiscal 2010, the Company had unrecognized actuarial losses of $47.7
million. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that the Company
recognize a portion of these losses when they exceed a calculated threshold. These losses might be
recognized as a component of pension expense in future years and would be amortized over the
average future service of employees, which is currently approximately six years. Future changes in
plan asset returns, assumed discount rates and various other factors related to the pension plan
will impact future pension expense and liabilities, including increasing or decreasing unrecognized
actuarial gains and losses.
The Company recognized expense for its defined benefit pension plans of $0.2 million, $1.4 million
and $3.1 million in Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s board of directors
approved freezing the Company’s defined pension benefit plan effective January 1, 2005. The
Company’s pension expense is expected to increase in Fiscal 2011 by approximately $2.4 million due
to a larger actuarial loss to be amortized.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company has share-based compensation plans covering certain members of management and
non-employee directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based
on the fair value of the awards as required by the Compensation — Stock Compensation Topic of the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, share-based compensation
expense was $0.5 million, $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and
2008, restricted stock expense was $6.5 million, $6.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The
benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense are reported as a financing
cash flow.
The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions
that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense, including
expected stock price volatility. The Company bases expected volatility on historical term
structures. The Company bases the risk free rate on an interest rate for a bond with a maturity
commensurate with the expected term estimate. The Company estimates the expected term of stock
options using historical exercise and employee termination experience. The Company does not
currently pay a dividend on common stock. The fair value of employee restricted stock is
determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.
In addition to the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the estimated forfeiture rate
at the time of valuation (which is based on historical experience for similar options) is a
critical
34
assumption, as it reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. Share-based compensation
expense is recorded based on a 2% expected forfeiture rate and is adjusted annually for actual
forfeitures. The Company reviews the expected forfeiture rate annually to determine if that
percent is still reasonable based on historical experience. The Company believes its estimates are
reasonable in the context of actual (historical) experience. See Note 14 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s share-based compensation
plans.
Comparable Store Sales
Comparable store sales begin in the fifty-third week of a store’s operation. Temporarily closed
stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation for every full week of the store
closing. Expanded stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation until the
fifty-third week of operation in the expanded format. Unless otherwise specified, e-commerce and
catalog sales are excluded from comparable store sales calculations.
Results of Operations — Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009
The Company’s net sales for Fiscal 2010 increased 1.5% to $1.57 billion from $1.55 billion in
Fiscal 2009. The increase in net sales was a result of a higher number of stores in operation and
an increase in comparable store sales in the Hat World Group, offset by lower sales in the Journeys
Group, reflecting negative comparable store sales of 3%, lower sales in the Underground Station
Group stores, reflecting fewer stores in operation and negative comparable store sales, lower sales
in the Johnston & Murphy Group, reflecting generally challenging economic conditions and a
difficult retail environment, and lower sales in Licensed Brands. Gross margin increased 2.0% to
$795.9 million in Fiscal 2010 from $780.0 million in Fiscal 2009 and increased as a percentage of
net sales from 50.3% to 50.6%. Selling and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2010 increased 0.7%
from Fiscal 2009 but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 46.2% to 45.9%, primarily due to
the absence of merger-related expenses and leveraging in the Hat World Group due to positive
comparable store sales. Expenses in Fiscal 2009 included $8.0 million in merger-related litigation
expenses. The Company records buying and merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and
administrative expense. Because the Company does not include these costs in cost of sales, the
Company’s gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the
calculation of gross margin. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by
business segment in discussions following these introductory paragraphs.
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes (“pretax earnings”) for Fiscal 2010 were
$50.5 million compared to $250.7 million for Fiscal 2009. Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2010 included
restructuring and other charges of $13.5 million including $13.3 million for retail store asset
impairments and $0.4 million for lease terminations offset by $0.3 million for other legal matters.
Also included in pretax earnings was $0.1 million in excess markdowns related to the lease
terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2010 also included $5.5 million loss on early retirement of debt.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2009 included a gain of $204.1 million from the settlement of
merger-related litigation with The Finish Line and UBS and restructuring and other charges of $7.7
million including $8.6 million for retail store asset impairments, $1.6 million for lease
terminations and $1.1 million for other legal matters offset by a $3.8 million gain on a lease
termination transaction. Also included in pretax earnings was $0.2 million in excess markdowns
related to the lease
35
terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2009 also included $8.0 million in merger-related expenses.
Net earnings for Fiscal 2010 were $28.8 million ($1.30 diluted earnings per share) compared to
$150.8 million ($6.49 diluted earnings per share) for Fiscal 2009. Net earnings for Fiscal 2010
includes $0.3 million ($0.01 diluted earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax), including
$0.5 million primarily for anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to
former facilities operated by the Company offset by a $0.2 million gain for excess provisions to
prior discontinued operations. Net earnings for Fiscal 2009 includes a $5.5 million ($0.23 diluted
earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax), including $5.7 million primarily for
anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to former facilities operated by
the Company offset by a $0.2 million gain for excess provisions to prior discontinued operations.
The Company recorded an effective federal income tax rate of 42.4% for Fiscal 2010 compared to
37.7% for Fiscal 2009. This year’s effective tax rate of 42.4% reflects the non-deductibility of
certain items incurred in connection with the inducement of the conversion of the 4 1/8% Debentures
for common stock this year. Last year’s effective tax rate of 37.7% is primarily attributable to
the deduction of prior period merger-related expenses that became deductible upon termination of
the Finish Line merger agreement offset by an income tax liability on an increase in value of
shares of common stock received in the settlement of litigation with The Finish Line that had no
corresponding income in the financial statements. In addition, last year’s effective rate was
lower due to a $1.2 million reduction in tax liabilities from an agreement reached on a state
income tax contingency. See Notes 11 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.

Net sales from Journeys Group decreased 1.4% to $749 million for Fiscal 2010 from $760.0 million
for Fiscal 2009. The decrease reflects primarily a 3% decrease in comparable store sales partially
offset by a 3% increase in average Journeys stores operated (i.e., the sum of the number of stores
open on the first day of the fiscal year and the last day of each fiscal month during the year
divided by thirteen). The comparable store sales decrease reflects a 5% decrease in footwear unit
comparable sales offset by a 3% increase in average price per pair of shoes reflecting changes in
product mix. Total unit sales decreased 3% during the same period. The store count for Journeys
Group was 1,025 stores at the end of Fiscal 2010, including 150 Journeys Kidz stores and 56 Shi by
Journeys stores, compared to 1,012 Journeys Group stores at the end of Fiscal 2009, including 141
Journeys Kidz stores and 55 Shi by Journeys stores.
Journeys Group earnings from operations for Fiscal 2010 decreased 9.7% to $44.3 million, compared
to $49.1 million for Fiscal 2009. Improved gross margin as a percentage of net sales from lower
markdowns was more than offset by increased expenses both in dollars and as a
percentage of net sales, reflecting negative leverage from negative comparable store sales.

Net sales from the Underground Station Group decreased 10.3% to $99.5 million for Fiscal 2010 from
$110.9 million for Fiscal 2009. The decrease reflects a 7% decrease in comparable store sales and
a 6% decrease in average Underground Station Group stores operated. The decrease in comparable
store sales reflects a 1% decrease in footwear unit comparable sales and a 3% decrease in the
average price per pair of shoes, reflecting changes in product mix. Unit sales decreased 5% during
Fiscal 2010. Underground Station Group operated 170 stores at the end of Fiscal 2010. The Company
had operated 180 Underground Station Group stores at the end of Fiscal 2009. The Company plans to
continue to shorten the average lease life of the Underground Station stores, close certain
underperforming stores as the opportunity presents itself, and attempt to secure rent relief on
other locations while it assesses the future prospects for the chain.
Underground Station Group loss from operations for Fiscal 2010 improved to $(4.6) million compared
to $(5.7) million for the same period last year. The improvement was due to increased gross margin
as a percentage of net sales reflecting improvement in initial mark-on from changes in product mix.

to Impact Sports and Great Plains Sports, a 3% increase in comparable store sales, a 2% increase in
average stores operated and $11.7 million in sales from the newly acquired Sports Fan-Attic
business. The comparable store sales increase reflected a 4% increase in average price per hat
from higher prices in Major League Baseball products and branded action headwear, offset by a 1%
decrease in comparable store headwear units sold, primarily from weakness in NCAA and NFL products.
Hat World Group operated 921 stores at the end of Fiscal 2010, including 60 stores in Canada and
37 Sports Fan-Attic stores, compared to 885 stores at the end of Fiscal 2009, including 50 stores
in Canada.
Hat World Group earnings from operations for Fiscal 2010 increased 20.1% to $44.0 million compared
to $36.7 million for Fiscal 2009. The increase in operating income was primarily due to
37
increased

operated for Johnston & Murphy retail operations. Unit sales for the Johnston & Murphy wholesale
business decreased 2% in Fiscal 2010 and the average price per pair of shoes decreased 10% for the
same period. Retail operations accounted for 75.4% of Johnston & Murphy Group sales in Fiscal

$10.1 million for Fiscal 2009, primarily due to decreased net sales, decreased gross margin as a
percentage of net sales, reflecting changes in product mix and lower full priced wholesale sales,
and increased expenses as a percentage of net sales, reflecting negative leverage from the decrease
in comparable store sales.

Licensed Brands’ net sales decreased 3.5% to $93.2 million for Fiscal 2010 from $96.6 million for
Fiscal 2009. The sales decrease reflects a 5% decrease in sales of Dockers Footwear offset by
increased sales from a new line of footwear introduced in the third quarter last year that the
Company is sourcing under a different brand with limited distribution. Unit sales for Dockers
Footwear decreased 1% for Fiscal 2010 and the average price per pair of shoes decreased 3% for the
same period.
Licensed Brands’ earnings from operations for Fiscal 2010 increased 3.7%, from $11.9 million for
Fiscal 2009 to $12.4 million, primarily due to increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales,
38
reflecting decreased product costs and changes in product mix.
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other expense for Fiscal 2010 was $46.7 million compared to income of $157.6 million
for Fiscal 2009. Corporate expense in Fiscal 2010 included $13.5 million in restructuring and
other charges, primarily for retail store asset impairments and lease terminations offset by other
legal matters. Corporate expense for Fiscal 2010 also included $5.5 million for the loss on early
retirement of debt. Corporate and other costs of sales for Fiscal 2010 included $0.1 million in
excess markdowns related to lease terminations. Corporate income in Fiscal 2009 included a $204.1
million gain from the settlement of merger-related litigation partially offset by $7.7 million in
restructuring and other charges, primarily for retail store asset impairments, lease terminations
and other legal matters offset by a gain on a lease termination transaction and $8.0 million in
merger-related expenses. Corporate and other costs of sales for Fiscal 2009 included $0.2 million
in excess markdowns related to lease terminations.
Interest expense decreased 52.0% from $9.2 million in Fiscal 2009 to $4.4 million in Fiscal 2010,
due to reduced interest expense on the Company’s 4 1/8% Debentures as a result of retiring $86.2
million in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures during Fiscal 2010. The application of the
updated Debt Topic to the Codification resulted in the recognition of additional pretax non-cash
interest expense totaling $1.4 million for Fiscal 2010, compared to $3.1 million for Fiscal 2009.
Interest income decreased 95.7% to $14,000 from $0.3 million for Fiscal 2009.
Results of Operations — Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008
The Company’s net sales for Fiscal 2009 increased 3.3% to $1.55 billion from $1.50 billion in
Fiscal 2008. The increase in net sales was a result of a higher number of stores in operation and
an increase in comparable store sales in the Journeys Group and Hat World Group and increased
Licensed Brands sales, offset by lower sales in the Underground Station Group stores, reflecting
fewer stores in operation and flat comparable store sales, and Johnston & Murphy Group, reflecting
generally challenging economic conditions and a difficult retail environment. Gross margin
increased 3.8% to $780.0 million in Fiscal 2009 from $751.2 million in Fiscal 2008 and increased as
a percentage of net sales from 50.0% to 50.3%. Selling and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2009
increased 2.5% from Fiscal 2008 but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 46.6% to 46.2%,
primarily as a result of lower merger-related expenses. Expenses in Fiscal 2009 included $8.0
million of merger-related litigation expenses and Fiscal 2008 included $27.6 million in
merger-related litigation expenses. The Company records buying and merchandising and occupancy
costs in selling and administrative expense. Because the Company does not include these costs in
cost of sales, the Company’s gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include
these costs in the calculation of gross margin. Explanations of the changes in results of
operations are provided by business segment in discussions following these introductory paragraphs.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2009 were $250.7 million compared to $29.9 million for Fiscal 2008.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2009 included a gain of $204.1 million from the settlement of merger-
related litigation with The Finish Line and UBS and restructuring and other charges of $7.7 million
including $8.6 million for retail store asset impairments, $1.6 million for lease terminations and
$1.1 million for other legal matters offset by a $3.8 million gain on a lease termination
transaction.
39
Also included in pretax earnings was $0.2 million in excess markdowns related to the
store lease terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2009 also included $8.0 million in merger-related expenses.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2008 included restructuring and other charges of $10.6 million,
including $8.7 million of charges for asset impairments and $1.5 million for lease terminations,
offset by $0.5 million in excise tax refunds and an antitrust settlement. Also included in pretax
earnings was $0.9 million in excess markdowns related to the Underground Station Group store lease
terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pretax earnings for Fiscal 2008 also included $27.6 million in expenses relating to the merger
agreement with The Finish Line and a $0.5 million gain from insurance proceeds relating to
Hurricane Katrina.
Net earnings for Fiscal 2009 were $150.8 million ($6.49 diluted earnings per share) compared to
$5.2 million ($0.22 diluted earnings per share) for Fiscal 2008. Net earnings for Fiscal 2009
includes $5.5 million ($0.23 diluted earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax), including
$5.7 million primarily for anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to
former facilities operated by the Company offset by a $0.2 million gain for excess provisions to
prior discontinued operations. Net earnings for Fiscal 2008 included $1.6 million ($0.07 diluted
earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax), including $1.8 million primarily for
anticipated costs of environmental remedial alternatives related to former facilities operated by
the Company offset by a $0.2 million gain for excess provisions to prior discontinued operations.
The Company recorded an effective federal income tax rate of 37.7% for Fiscal 2009 compared to
77.4% for Fiscal 2008. The variance in the effective tax rate for Fiscal 2009 compared to Fiscal
2008 is primarily attributable to transaction costs incurred in the prior period that were
deductible in the later period, as well as to issues related to the settlement of merger-related
litigation. See Notes 11 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

Net sales from Journeys Group increased 6.5% to $760.0 million for Fiscal 2009 from $713.4 million
for Fiscal 2008. The increase reflects primarily a 9% increase in average Journeys stores operated
and a 1% increase in comparable store sales. The comparable store sales increase reflects a 1%
increase in footwear unit comparable sales and a 1% increase in average price per pair of shoes
reflecting changes in product mix. Total unit sales increased 7% during the same period. The
store count for Journeys Group was 1,012 stores at the end of Fiscal 2009, including 141 Journeys
Kidz stores and 55 Shi by Journeys stores, compared to 967 Journeys Group stores at the end of

Journeys Group earnings from operations for Fiscal 2009 decreased 4.0% to $49.1 million, compared
to $51.1 million for Fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased expenses as
a percentage of net sales, reflecting increased rent from new stores, lease renewals and relocation
from smaller, volume constrained locations to bigger stores, as well as increased bonus
40
accruals
based on improved performance for bonus purposes.

Net sales from the Underground Station Group decreased 10.6% to $110.9 million for Fiscal 2009 from
$124.0 million for Fiscal 2008. The decrease reflects a 14% decrease in average Underground
Station Group stores operated related to the Company’s strategy of closing Jarman stores and the
plan announced in May 2007 to close or convert up to 49 Underground Station Group stores. Unit
sales decreased 7% during Fiscal 2009. Comparable store sales were flat for Underground Station
Group for the year. The flat comparable store sales reflect a 6% increase in footwear unit
comparable sales, offset by a 4% decrease in the average price per pair of shoes, reflecting
changes in product mix in part due to more women’s and children’s products, and increased
markdowns. Underground Station Group operated 180 stores at the end of Fiscal 2009. The Company
had operated 192 Underground Station Group stores at the end of Fiscal 2008. The Company plans to
continue to shorten the average lease life of the Underground Station stores, close certain
underperforming stores as the opportunity presents itself, and attempt to secure rent relief on
other locations while it assesses the future prospects for the chain.
Underground Station Group loss from operations for Fiscal 2009 improved to $(5.7) million compared
to $(7.7) million for the same period last year. The improvement was due to decreased expenses as
a percentage of net sales from store closings and actions taken for improved expense control.

41
fewer
off-priced sales, increased vendor discounts and growth in higher margin areas.

Johnston & Murphy Group net sales decreased 7.5% to $178.0 million for Fiscal 2009 from $192.5
million for Fiscal 2008, reflecting primarily a 10% decrease in comparable store sales and a 7%
decrease in Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales, partially offset by a 2% increase in average stores
operated for Johnston & Murphy retail operations. Unit sales for the Johnston & Murphy wholesale
business decreased 11% in Fiscal 2009, while the average price per pair of shoes increased 3% for
the same period. Retail operations accounted for 74.2% of Johnston & Murphy Group sales in Fiscal
2009, unchanged from Fiscal 2008. The comparable store sales decrease in Fiscal 2009 reflects a
12% decrease in footwear unit comparable sales and a 1% decrease in average price per pair of
shoes, primarily due to changes in product mix and increased markdowns. The store count for
Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of Fiscal 2009 included 157 Johnston & Murphy shops
and factory stores compared to 154 Johnston & Murphy shops and factory stores at the end of Fiscal
2008.
Johnston & Murphy earnings from operations for Fiscal 2009 decreased 49.2% to $10.1 million from
$19.8 million for Fiscal 2008, primarily due to decreased net sales, decreased gross margin as a
percentage of net sales, reflecting changes in product mix and increased markdowns, and increased
expenses as a percentage of net sales, reflecting negative leverage from the decrease in comparable
store sales.

Licensed Brands’ net sales increased 4.2% to $96.6 million for Fiscal 2009 from $92.7 million for
Fiscal 2008. The sales increase reflects a 5% increase in sales of Dockers Footwear. Unit sales
for Dockers Footwear increased 4% for Fiscal 2009 and the average price per pair of shoes increased
1% for the same period.
Licensed Brands’ earnings from operations for Fiscal 2009 increased 8.6%, from $11.0 million for
Fiscal 2008 to $11.9 million, primarily due to increased net sales and decreased expenses as a
percentage of net sales.
42
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other for Fiscal 2009 had income of $157.6 million compared to expenses of $64.3
million for Fiscal 2008. Corporate income in Fiscal 2009 included a $204.1 million gain from the
settlement of merger-related litigation partially offset by $7.7 million in restructuring and other
charges, primarily for retail store asset impairments, lease terminations and other legal matters
offset by a gain on a lease termination transaction and $8.0 million in merger-related expenses.
Corporate and other costs of sales for Fiscal 2009 included $0.2 million in excess markdowns
related to lease terminations. Corporate expenses in Fiscal 2008 included $27.6 million in
merger-related expenses and a $0.5 million gain from insurance proceeds relating to Hurricane
Katrina. Corporate and other expenses for Fiscal 2008 also included $9.7 million of restructuring
and other charges, primarily for asset impairments and lease terminations, offset by excise tax
refunds and an antitrust settlement. Corporate and other cost of sales for Fiscal 2008 included
$0.9 million in excess markdowns related to Underground Station Group lease terminations.
Interest expense decreased 23.3% from $12.0 million in Fiscal 2008 to $9.2 million in Fiscal 2009,
due to the cash received from the merger-related litigation settlement and improved operating cash
flow, which decreased average revolver borrowings from $65.9 million in Fiscal 2008 to $27.7
million in Fiscal 2009.
Interest income increased from $0.1 million in Fiscal 2008 to $0.3 million in Fiscal 2009, due to
the increase in average short-term investments as a result of the proceeds from the settlement of
merger-related litigation.

Working Capital
The Company’s business is seasonal, with the Company’s investment in inventory and accounts
receivable normally reaching peaks in the spring and fall of each year. Historically, cash flow
from operations has been generated principally in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Cash provided by operating activities was $142.1 million in Fiscal 2010 compared to $179.1 million
in Fiscal 2009. The $37.0 million decrease in cash flow from operating activities from last
year reflects primarily the receipt of $175.0 million of cash proceeds of the merger-related
litigation settlement in Fiscal 2009, offset by an increase in cash flow from changes in inventory,
accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and prepaids and other current assets of $27.4 million,
$19.5 million, $19.4 million and $16.2 million, respectively. The $27.4 million increase in cash
flow from inventory reflected efforts to reduce inventory in order to align inventory growth with
sales
43
growth, especially in the Johnston & Murphy Group. The $19.5 million increase in cash flow
from accounts payable reflected changes in buying patterns, including actions taken to reduce
inventory in the prior year, and payment terms negotiated with individual vendors. The $19.4
million increase in cash flow from other accrued liabilities reflected Fiscal 2009 reduction in
accrued professional fees related to the terminated merger agreement and reduction in income taxes
plus a Fiscal 2010 additional accrual related to environmental insurance. The $16.2 million
increase in cash flow from prepaids and other current assets was due to decreased prepaid income
taxes compared to Fiscal 2009.
The $24.0 million decrease in inventories at January 30, 2010 from January 31, 2009 levels reflects
a decrease in inventory, primarily wholesale, due to efforts to align inventory growth with sales
growth and increased wholesale inventory last year due to timing of Chinese New Year.
Accounts receivable at January 30, 2010 increased $2.3 million compared to January 31, 2009, due
primarily to increased wholesale sales in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 which includes sales of
the newly acquired Great Plains Sports team dealer business and slower overall accounts receivable
turn.
Cash provided by operating activities was $179.1 million in Fiscal 2009 compared to $23.9 million
in Fiscal 2008. The $155.2 million increase in cash flow from operating activities from Fiscal
2008 reflects primarily the receipt of $175.0 million of cash proceeds of the merger-related
litigation settlement and changes in inventory of $36.2 million, offset by a decrease in cash flow
from changes in other accrued liabilities, prepaids and other current assets and accounts payable
of $16.8 million, $10.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The $36.2 million increase in cash
flow from inventory reflected efforts to reduce inventory in order to align inventory growth with
sales growth. The $16.8 million decrease in cash flow from other accrued liabilities was due to a
reduction in accrued professional fees related to the terminated merger agreement and a reduction
in accrued income taxes due to the Company being in a prepaid income tax position at the end of the
year, offset by increased bonus accruals. The $10.9 million decrease in cash flow from prepaids
and other current assets was due to increased prepaid income taxes. The $7.6 million decrease in
cash flow from accounts payable reflected changes in buying patterns, including actions taken to
reduce inventory, and payment terms negotiated with individual vendors.
The $3.3 million increase in inventories at January 31, 2009 from February 2, 2008 levels reflects
an increase in wholesale inventory due to an inability to react quickly to the economic conditions
as well as increases in inventory to support spring shipments, offset by a decrease in retail
inventory due to efforts to align inventory growth with sales growth offset by inventory purchased
to support the net increase of 59 stores in Fiscal 2009.
Accounts receivable at January 31, 2009 decreased $2.2 million compared to February 2, 2008, due
primarily to decreased wholesale sales in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2009 and lower tenant
allowance receivables from the slow down in store openings.

The fluctuations in cash provided (used) due to changes in accounts payable for Fiscal 2010 from
Fiscal 2009 and for Fiscal 2009 from Fiscal 2008 are due to changes in buying patterns, including
actions taken to reduce inventory in the prior year, and payment terms negotiated with individual
vendors. The change in cash provided (used) due to changes in accrued liabilities for Fiscal 2010
from Fiscal 2009 was due primarily to Fiscal 2009 reduction in accrued professional fees related to
the terminated merger agreement and reduction in income taxes plus a Fiscal 2010 additional accrual
related to environmental insurance, and the change in accrued liabilities for Fiscal 2009 from
Fiscal 2008 was due primarily to a reduction in accrued professional fees and expenses related to
the terminated merger agreement and a reduction in accrued taxes due to the Company being in a
prepaid tax position, offset by higher bonus accruals.
The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) entered into on December 1,
2006, in the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, with a $20.0 million swingline loan
sublimit and a $70.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit, and has a
five-year term. Revolving credit borrowings averaged $15.4 million during Fiscal 2010 and $27.7
million during Fiscal 2009, as cash generated from operations primarily funded seasonal working
capital requirements and capital expenditures for Fiscal 2010.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $33.8 million, $49.4 million and $80.7 million for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The $15.6 million decrease in Fiscal 2010 capital expenditures as compared to
Fiscal 2009 resulted primarily from the decrease in retail store capital expenditures due to 61 new
store openings in Fiscal 2010, excluding 38 acquired stores, compared to 102 new store openings in
Fiscal 2009 and a lower amount of full major renovations. The $31.3 million decrease in Fiscal
2009 capital expenditures as compared to Fiscal 2008 resulted primarily from the decrease in retail
store capital expenditures due to 102 new store openings in Fiscal 2009 compared to 229 new store
openings in Fiscal 2008.
Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2011 are expected to be approximately $45.0 million. These
include retail capital expenditures of approximately $33.2 million to open approximately 12
Journeys stores, three Journeys Kidz stores, nine Johnston & Murphy shops and factory stores and 45
Hat World Group stores including 15 stores in Canada and five Sports Fan-Attic stores and to
complete approximately 171 major store renovations. Due to current economic conditions, the
Company intends to be more selective with respect to new store locations. The Company will
continue to open stores at a slower pace in 2011. The planned amount of capital
expenditures in Fiscal 2011 for wholesale operations and other purposes is approximately $11.8
million, including approximately $6.2 million for new systems to improve customer service and
support the Company’s growth.
46
Future Capital Needs
The Company expects that cash on hand and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to support
seasonal working capital requirements and capital expenditures, although the Company may borrow
under its Credit Facility from time to time to support seasonal working capital requirements during
Fiscal 2011. The approximately $9.4 million of costs associated with discontinued operations that
are expected to be paid during the next twelve months are expected to be funded from cash on hand
and borrowings under the Credit Facility during Fiscal 2011.
There were $11.0 million of letters of credit outstanding and no revolver borrowings outstanding
under the Credit Facility at January 30, 2010. Net availability under the facility was $180.0
million. The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants under the facility
unless Adjusted Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) is
less than 10% of the total commitments under the credit facility (currently $20.0 million). If and
during such time as Adjusted Excess Availability is less than such amount, the credit facility
requires the Company to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA less capital
expenditures less cash taxes divided by cash interest expense and scheduled payments of principal
indebtedness) of 1.0 to 1.0. Adjusted Excess Availability was $180.0 million at January 30, 2010.
Because Adjusted Excess Availability exceeded $20.0 million, the Company was not required to comply
with this financial covenant at January 30, 2010.
The Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends and other restricted payments (including
stock repurchases) unless after such dividend or restricted payment (i) availability is between
$30.0 million and $50.0 million, the fixed charge coverage is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 or (ii)
availability under the credit facility exceeds $50.0 million. The Company’s management does not
expect availability under the Credit Facility to fall below $50.0 million during Fiscal 2011.
The aggregate of annual dividend requirements on the Company’s Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock,
$2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4, and on its $1.50 Subordinated Cumulative
Preferred Stock is $198,000.
Common Stock Repurchases
In March 2008, the board authorized up to $100.0 million in stock repurchases primarily funded with
the after-tax cash proceeds of the settlement of the merger-related litigation with The Finish Line
and UBS. See Notes 3 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company did not
repurchase any shares during Fiscal 2008. The Company repurchased 4.0 million shares at a cost of
$90.9 million during Fiscal 2009. The Company repurchased 85,000 shares at a cost of $2.0 million
during Fiscal 2010. In total, the Company has repurchased 12.2 million shares at a cost of $196.3
million from all authorizations as of January 30, 2010. In February 2010, the board increased the
total repurchase authorization to $35.0 million.
Environmental and Other Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other
legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company has made accruals for certain of these contingencies, including
approximately $0.8 million reflected in Fiscal 2010, $9.4 million reflected in Fiscal 2009 and $2.9
47
million reflected in Fiscal 2008. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and, on a
quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s reserves and accruals in relation to each of
them, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available
information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur.
Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to each proceeding is a reasonable
estimate of the probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no reasonable
estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis
of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However, because
of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in
particular, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional reserves
to be set aside, that some or all reserves may not be adequate or that the amounts of any such
additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Financial Market Risk
The following discusses the Company’s exposure to financial market risk related to changes in
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Outstanding Debt of the Company — The Company does not have any outstanding debt as of January 30,
2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances are invested in
financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not have
significant exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash at January 30, 2010. As a result,
the Company considers the interest rate market risk implicit in these investments at January 30,
2010 to be low.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk — Most purchases by the Company from foreign sources are
denominated in U.S. dollars. To the extent that import transactions are denominated in other
currencies, it is the Company’s practice to hedge its risks through the purchase of forward foreign
exchange contracts when the purchases are material. At January 30, 2010, the Company had $0.6
million of forward foreign exchange contracts for Euro. The Company’s policy is not to speculate
in derivative instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation and it does not hold
any derivative instruments for trading purposes. Derivative instruments used as hedges must be
effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as
a hedge at the inception of the contract. The unrealized loss on contracts outstanding at January
30, 2010 was less than $0.1 million based on current spot rates. As of January 30, 2010, a 10%
adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value
of the contracts by approximately $0.1 million.
Accounts Receivable — The Company’s accounts receivable balance at January 30, 2010 is primarily
concentrated in two of its wholesale businesses, which sell primarily to department
stores and independent retailers across the United States. One customer accounted for 20% and no
other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s trade receivables balance as of January
30, 2010. The Company monitors the credit quality of its customers and establishes an allowance
for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors; however,
48
credit risk is
affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry, as well as
company-specific information.
Summary — Based on the Company’s overall market interest rate and foreign currency rate exposure
at January 30, 2010, the Company believes that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term
changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows for Fiscal 2011 would not be material.
New Accounting Principles
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”)
as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all
authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic
in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September
15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be
superseded. The Company adopted the Codification effective for its third quarter ended October 31,
2009, and accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole
source of authoritative literature.
In December 2008, the FASB updated the Compensation — Retirement Benefits Topic of the
Codification to require more detailed disclosures about the assets of a defined benefit pension or
other postretirement plan and is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 (Fiscal
2010 for the Company). The Company adopted this updated guidance as of January 30, 2010 and it did
not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. See Note 12 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inflation
The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on sales or operating results
during periods covered in this discussion.
ITEM 7A, QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company incorporates by reference the information regarding market risk appearing under the
heading “Financial Market Risk” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Genesco Inc.
We have audited Genesco Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2010,
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Genesco Inc.’s management
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Genesco Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of January 30, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Genesco Inc. as of January 30, 2010 and
January 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 2010 and our report
dated March 31, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Genesco Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genesco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period
ended January 30, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item
15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Genesco Inc. and Subsidiaries at January 30, 2010
and January 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in fiscal 2008 the Company
changed its method of accounting for income tax contingencies. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
adopted the update to the Debt Topic, specifically Debt with Conversion and Other Options, as of
February 1, 2009.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 30,
2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 31,
2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

2010 was a 52-week year with 364 days, Fiscal 2009 was a 52-week year with 364 days and
Fiscal 2008 was a 52-week year with 364 days. Fiscal 2010 ended on January 30, 2010, Fiscal
2009 ended on January 31, 2009 and Fiscal 2008 ended on February 2, 2008.
Financial Statement Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years’ data to the current year
presentation. In the Fiscal 2009 and 2008 Consolidated Statements of Operations, bank fees
totaling approximately $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were reclassified from
interest expense to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant areas requiring management estimates or judgments include the following key
financial areas:
Inventory Valuation
The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or market.
In its wholesale operations, cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”)
method. Market is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the
stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory
level, and selling prices reflected in future orders. The Company provides reserves when
the inventory has not been marked down to market based on current selling prices or when the
inventory is not turning and is not expected to turn at levels satisfactory to the Company.
In its retail operations, other than the Hat World segment, the Company employs the retail
inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories.
Under the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is
achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of
inventories.
Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates, including
merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns, and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates,
coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could
produce a range of cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent
presentation, the Company employs the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of
inventory with similar gross margins, and analyzes markdown requirements at the stock number
level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, and inventory age. In
addition, the Company accrues markdowns as necessary. These additional markdown accruals
reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to return products to vendors
and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to markdown provisions, the
Company maintains provisions for shrinkage and damaged goods based on historical rates.
The Hat World segment employs the moving average cost method for valuing inventories and
applies freight using an allocation method. The Company provides a valuation allowance for
slow-moving inventory based on negative margins and estimated shrink based on historical
experience and specific analysis, where appropriate.
Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective
judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends, and overall economic conditions.
Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an
overstatement or understatement of inventory value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and evaluates
such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist
if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the
carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about
future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may
result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets. See also
Notes 5 and 7.
The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of
the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is
associated. The Company estimates fair value using the best information available, and
computes the fair value by an equal weighting of the results arrived by a market approach
and an income approach utilizing discounted cash flow projections. The income approach uses
a projection of a business unit’s estimated operating results and cash flows that is
discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions.
The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the
projected period including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected
changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and
assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures
and changes in future working capital requirements.
If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an
indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the
amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied
fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same
manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically,
the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the
reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis
that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of
goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge
for the difference.
A key assumption in the Company’s fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of
capital utilized for discounting its cash flow projections in its income approach. The
Company believes the rate it used in its annual test was consistent with the risks inherent
in its business and with industry discount rates.

Environmental and Other Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings
and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 15. The Company has made pretax
accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $0.8 million reflected
in Fiscal 2010, $9.4 million reflected in Fiscal 2009 and $2.9 million reflected in Fiscal
2008. These charges are included in provision for discontinued operations, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 5). The Company monitors these matters on
an ongoing basis and, on a quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s reserves and
accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in
view of changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in
the periods when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation
to each proceeding is a best estimate of probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in
cases in which no best estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated
losses, based upon its analysis of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most
recent fiscal quarter. However, because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation
generally and in environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that
future developments will not require additional reserves to be set aside, that some or all
reserves will be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional reserves or any such
inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or
results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Retail sales are recorded at the point of sale and are net of estimated returns and exclude
sales taxes. Catalog and internet sales are recorded at time of delivery to the customer
and are net of estimated returns and exclude sales taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net
of estimated returns and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the
related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Shipping and
handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales. Estimated returns are based
on historical returns and claims. Actual amounts of markdowns have not differed materially
from estimates. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from historical
experience.

Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is
required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates.
This process involves estimating actual current tax obligations together with assessing
temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and
accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of
inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities,
which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company then assesses the
likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.
Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated
in future periods. To the extent the Company believes that recovery of an asset is at risk,
valuation allowances are established. To the extent valuation allowances are established or
increased in a period, the Company includes an expense within the tax provision in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income tax reserves are determined using the methodology required by the Income Tax Topic of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This methodology was adopted by the Company as
of February 4, 2007, and requires companies to assess each income tax position taken using a
two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not
that the position will be sustained, based upon the technical merits, upon examination by
the taxing authorities. If the tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not
criteria, the benefit recorded for the tax position equals the largest amount that is
greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the respective tax
position. Uncertain tax positions require determinations and estimated liabilities to be
made based on provisions of the tax law which may be subject to change or varying
interpretation. If the Company’s determinations and estimates prove to be inaccurate, the
resulting adjustments could be material to its future financial results.
Postretirement Benefits Plan Accounting
Full-time employees who had 1,000 hours of service in calendar year 2004, except employees
in the Hat World Segment, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. The Company froze
the defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2005. The Company also provides
certain former employees with limited medical and life insurance benefits. The Company
funds at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
As required by the Compensation — Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification, the Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded
status of postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in their Consolidated
Balance Sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in accumulated other
comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the year in which the changes occur. The Company is
required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year end. The
Company adopted the measurement date change as of January 31, 2009. The Company was
required to change the measurement date for its defined benefit pension plan and
postretirement benefit plan from December 31 to January 31 (end of fiscal year). As a
result of this change, pension expense and actuarial gains/losses for the one-month period
ended January 31, 2009 were recognized as adjustments to retained earnings and accumulated
other comprehensive loss, respectively. The after-tax charge to retained earnings was $0.1
million. The adoption of the measurement date provision had no effect on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations for Fiscal 2009 or any prior period presented.
The Company accounts for the defined benefit pension plans using the Compensation-Retirement
Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. As permitted under this
topic, pension expense is recognized on an accrual basis over employees’ approximate service
periods. The calculation of pension expense and the corresponding liability requires the
use of a number of critical assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets and the assumed discount rate, as well as the recognition of actuarial gains and
losses. Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts,
and future actual experience can differ from these assumptions.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company has share-based compensation plans covering certain members of management and
non-employee directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based
payments based on the fair value of the awards as required by the Compensation — Stock
Compensation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and
2008, share-based compensation expense was $0.5 million, $1.7 million and $3.2 million,
respectively. For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, restricted stock expense was $6.5 million,
$6.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of
recognized compensation expense are reported as a financing cash flow.
The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves
assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation
expense, including expected stock price volatility. The Company bases expected volatility
on historical stock prices for a period that is commensurate with the expected term
estimate. The Company bases the risk free rate on an interest rate for a bond with a
maturity commensurate with the expected term estimate. The Company estimates the expected
term of stock options using historical exercise and employee termination experience. The
Company does not currently pay a dividend on common stock. The fair value of employee
restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date
of the grant.
In addition to the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the estimated forfeiture
rate at the time of valuation (which is based on historical experience for similar options)
is a critical assumption, as it reduces expense ratably over the vesting period.
Share-based compensation expense is recorded based on a 2% expected forfeiture rate and is
adjusted annually for actual forfeitures. The Company reviews the expected forfeiture rate
annually to determine if that percent is still reasonable based on historical experience.
The Company believes its estimates are reasonable in the context of actual (historical)
experience.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Included in cash and cash equivalents at January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009 are cash
equivalents of $62.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Cash equivalents are
highly-liquid financial instruments having an original maturity of three months or less. The
Company’s $62.7 million of cash equivalents was invested in a U.S. government money market
fund which invests exclusively in high-quality, short-term securities that are issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities.
Uninsured cash balances were $6.3 million as of January 30, 2010. The majority of payments
due from banks for customer credit card transactions process within 24 — 48 hours and are
accordingly classified as cash and cash equivalents.
At January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009 outstanding checks drawn on zero-balance accounts at
certain domestic banks exceeded book cash balances at those banks by approximately $31.9
million and $28.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable
The Company’s footwear wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and
department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not
collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the
economy and the retail industry as well as by customer specific factors. One customer
accounted for 20% of the Company’s trade receivables balance and no other customer accounted
for more than 10% of the Company’s trade receivables balance as of January 30, 2010.
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the
credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as
customer specific factors. The Company also establishes allowances for sales returns,
customer deductions and co-op advertising based on specific circumstances, historical trends
and projected probable outcomes.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated
useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally
by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
| |
|
|
|
|
Buildings and building equipment |
|
20-45 years |
Computer hardware, software and equipment |
|
3-10 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|

Leases
Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line
method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related lease terms and the charge to
earnings is included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Certain leases include rent increases during the initial lease term. For these leases, the
Company recognizes the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease (which includes any rent holidays and the pre-opening period of construction,
renovation, fixturing and merchandise placement) and records the difference between the
amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred rent.
The Company occasionally receives reimbursements from landlords to be used towards
construction of the store the Company intends to lease. Leasehold improvements are recorded
at their gross costs including items reimbursed by landlords. The reimbursements are
amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the initial lease term.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Under the provisions of the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not
amortized, but are tested at least annually, during the fourth quarter, for impairment. The
Company will update the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that
would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the business unit with which the goodwill
is associated below its carrying amount. It is also required that intangible assets with
finite lives be amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Intangible assets of the Company with indefinite lives are primarily goodwill and
identifiable trademarks acquired in connection with the acquisition of Hat World Corporation
in April 2004, Hat Shack, Inc. in January 2007, Impact Sports in November 2008, Great Plains
Sports in September 2009 and Sports Fan-Attic in November 2009. The Consolidated Balance
Sheets include goodwill for the Hat World Group of $119.0 million at January 30, 2010 and
$111.7 million at January 31, 2009, respectively. The Company tests for impairment of
intangible assets with an indefinite life, at a minimum on an annual basis, relying on a
number of factors including operating results, business plans, projected future cash flows
and observable market data. The impairment test for identifiable assets not subject to
amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its
carrying amount. The Company has not had an impairment charge for
intangible assets.
Identifiable intangible assets of the Company with finite lives are primarily in-place leases
and customer lists. They are subject to amortization based upon their estimated useful lives.
Finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that
used to evaluate other definite-lived long-lived assets, a comparison of the fair value of
the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the
amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Cost of Sales
For the Company’s retail operations, the cost of sales includes actual product cost, the cost
of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers and the cost of transportation
from the Company’s warehouses to the stores. Additionally, the cost of its distribution
facilities allocated to its retail operations is included in cost of sales.
For the Company’s wholesale operations, the cost of sales includes the actual product cost
and the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses include all operating costs of the Company excluding (i)
those related to the transportation of products from the supplier to the warehouse, (ii) for
its retail operations, those related to the transportation of products from the warehouse to
the store and (iii) costs of its distribution facilities which are allocated to its retail
operations. Wholesale and unallocated retail costs of distribution are included in selling
and administrative expenses in the amounts of $4.8 million, $4.2 million and $3.8 million for
Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008, respectively.
Gift Cards
The Company has a gift card program that began in calendar 1999 for its Hat World operations
and calendar 2000 for its footwear operations. The gift cards issued to date do not expire.
As such, the Company recognizes income when: (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer;
or (ii) the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer for the purchase of
goods in the future is remote and there are no related escheat laws (referred to as
“breakage”). The gift card breakage rate is based upon historical redemption patterns and
income is recognized for unredeemed gift cards in proportion to those historical redemption
patterns.
Gift card breakage is recognized in revenues each period. Gift card breakage recognized as
revenue was $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include an accrued liability for gift cards of
$7.9 million and $7.5 million at January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, respectively.
Buying, Merchandising and Occupancy Costs
The Company records buying, merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and administrative
expense. Because the Company does not include these costs in cost of sales, the Company’s
gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the
calculation of gross margin.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs related to inventory purchased from suppliers are included in the
cost of inventory and are charged to cost of sales in the period that the inventory is sold.
All other shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred
except for wholesale and unallocated retail costs of distribution, which are included in
selling and administrative expenses.
Preopening Costs
Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred, and are included in
selling and administrative expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Store Closings and Exit Costs
From time to time, the Company makes strategic decisions to close stores or exit locations or
activities. If stores or operating activities to be closed or exited constitute components,
as defined by the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, and will not result in a migration of customers and cash flows, these closures
will be considered discontinued operations when the related assets meet the criteria to be
classified as held for sale, or at the cease-use date, whichever occurs first. The results
of operations of discontinued operations are presented retroactively, net of tax, as a
separate component on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, if material individually or
cumulatively. To date, no store closings meeting the discontinued operations criteria have
been material individually or cumulatively.
Assets related to planned store closures or other exit activities are reflected as assets
held for sale and recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell
when the required criteria, as defined by the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification, are satisfied. Depreciation ceases on the date that the
held for sale criteria are met.
Assets related to planned store closures or other exit activities that do not meet the
criteria to be classified as held for sale are evaluated for impairment in accordance with
the Company’s normal impairment policy, but with consideration given to revised estimates of
future cash flows. In any event, the remaining depreciable useful lives are evaluated and
adjusted as necessary.
Exit costs related to anticipated lease termination costs, severance benefits and other
expected charges are accrued for and recognized in accordance with the Exit or Disposal Cost
Obligations Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $33.8
million, $34.8 million and $33.7 million for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Direct response advertising costs for catalogs are capitalized in accordance with the Other
Assets and Deferred Costs Topic for Capitalized Advertising Costs of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification. Such costs are amortized over the estimated future revenues realized
from such advertising, not to exceed six months. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include
prepaid assets for direct response advertising costs of $1.3 million and $1.2 million at
January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, respectively.
Consideration to Resellers
The Company does not have any written buy-down programs with retailers, but the Company has
provided certain retailers with markdown allowances for obsolete and slow moving products
that are in the retailer’s inventory. The Company estimates these allowances and provides
for them as reductions to revenues at the time revenues are recorded. Markdowns are
negotiated with retailers and changes are made to the estimates as agreements are reached.
Actual amounts for markdowns have not differed materially from estimates.
Cooperative Advertising
Cooperative advertising funds are made available to all of the Company’s wholesale customers.
In order for retailers to receive reimbursement under such programs, the retailer must meet
specified advertising guidelines and provide appropriate documentation of expenses to be
reimbursed. The Company’s cooperative advertising agreements require that wholesale
customers present documentation or other evidence of specific advertisements or display
materials used for the Company’s products by submitting the actual print advertisements
presented in catalogs, newspaper inserts or other advertising circulars, or by permitting
physical inspection of displays. Additionally, the Company’s cooperative advertising
agreements require that the amount of reimbursement requested for such advertising or
materials be supported by invoices or other evidence of the actual costs incurred by the
retailer. The Company accounts for these cooperative advertising costs as selling and
administrative expenses, in accordance with the Revenue Recognition Topic for Customer
Payments and Incentives of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Cooperative advertising costs recognized in selling and administrative expenses were $2.8
million, $2.6 million and $3.3 million for Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During
Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s cooperative advertising reimbursements paid did not
exceed the fair value of the benefits received under those agreements.

Vendor Allowances
From time to time, the Company negotiates allowances from its vendors for markdowns taken or
expected to be taken. These markdowns are typically negotiated on specific merchandise and
for specific amounts. These specific allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of
sales in the period in which the markdowns are taken. Markdown allowances not attached to
specific inventory on hand or already sold are applied to concurrent or future purchases from
each respective vendor.
The Company receives support from some of its vendors in the form of reimbursements for
cooperative advertising and catalog costs for the launch and promotion of certain products.
The reimbursements are agreed upon with vendors and represent specific, incremental,
identifiable costs incurred by the Company in selling the vendor’s specific products. Such
costs and the related reimbursements are accumulated and monitored on an individual vendor
basis, pursuant to the respective cooperative advertising agreements with vendors. Such
cooperative advertising reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of selling and
administrative expenses in the same period in which the associated expense is incurred. If
the amount of cash consideration received exceeds the costs being reimbursed, such excess
amount would be recorded as a reduction of cost of sales.
Vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising costs recognized as a reduction of selling
and administrative expenses were $3.6 million, $4.0 million and $4.3 million for Fiscal 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively. During Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s cooperative
advertising reimbursements received were not in excess of the costs incurred.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as
appropriate. Expenditures relating to an existing condition caused by past operations, and
which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities
are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the
costs can be reasonably estimated and are evaluated independently of any future claims for
recovery. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility
study or the Company’s commitment to a formal plan of action. Costs of future expenditures
for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock (see Note 13).

Other Comprehensive Income
The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires, among
other things, the Company’s pension liability adjustment, postretirement liability
adjustment, unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts and foreign
currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income net of tax.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss at January 30, 2010 consisted of $28.9 million of
cumulative pension liability adjustments, net of tax, a cumulative net loss of $0.2 million
on foreign currency forward contracts, net of tax, offset by a foreign currency translation
adjustment of $0.3 million.
Business Segments
The Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires that
companies disclose “operating segments” based on the way management disaggregates the
Company’s operations for making internal operating decisions (see Note 16).
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires an
entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. Under certain conditions, a
derivative may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative are recorded each period in current
earnings or in other comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative and
the resulting designation. The Company has entered into a small amount of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts in order to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations in connection with inventory purchase commitments for its Johnston & Murphy
Group. Derivative instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk
associated with the exposure being hedged. The settlement terms of the forward contracts
correspond with the expected payment terms for the merchandise inventories. As a result,
there is no hedge ineffectiveness to be reflected in earnings.
The notional amount of such contracts outstanding at January 30, 2010 was $0.6 million.
There were no contracts outstanding at January 31, 2009. Forward exchange contracts have an
average remaining term of approximately six months. The loss based on spot rates under these
contracts at January 30, 2010 was less than $0.1 million. For the year ended January 30,
2010, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.3
million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, before taxes. The Company monitors the
credit quality of the major national and regional financial institutions with which it enters
into such contracts.
The Company estimates that the majority of net hedging losses related to forward exchange
contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings
through higher cost of sales over the succeeding year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
New Accounting Principles
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB
to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is
intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the
authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the
effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be superseded. The Company
adopted the Codification effective for its third quarter ended October 31, 2009, and
accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source
of authoritative literature.
In December 2008, the FASB updated the Compensation — Retirement Benefits Topic of the
Codification to require more detailed disclosures about the assets of a defined benefit
pension or other postretirement plan and is effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2009 (Fiscal 2010 for the Company). The Company adopted this updated guidance as of
January 30, 2010 and it did not have a significant impact on its results of operations or
financial position (see Note 12).
Note 2
Change in Method of Accounting for Convertible Subordinated Debentures
In May 2008, the FASB updated the Debt Topic, specifically Debt with Conversion and Other
Options, of the Codification to require the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments
that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the
liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that
reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The Company adopted this update to
the Codification as of February 1, 2009. The value assigned to the debt component is the
estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the
conversion feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt and the
amount reflected as a debt liability is then recorded as additional paid-in capital. As a
result, the debt is effectively recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon
interest rate. The debt is subsequently accreted to its par value over its expected life,
with the rate of interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Upon adoption, the Company measured the fair value of the Company’s $86.2 million 4 1/8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued in June 2003, using an interest rate that the
Company could have obtained at the date of issuance for similar debt instruments. Based on
this analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the debentures was approximately
$66.6 million as of the issuance date, a reduction of approximately $19.6 million in the
carrying value of the debentures, of which $11.5 million was recorded as additional paid-in
capital, $7.4 million was recorded as a deferred tax liability and $0.7 million as a
reduction to deferred note expense.

Note 2
Change in Method of Accounting for Convertible Subordinated Debentures, Continued
In accordance with this update to the Codification, the Company is required to allocate a
portion of the $2.9 million of debt issuance costs that were directly related to the issuance
of the debentures between a liability component and an equity component as of the issuance
date. Based on this analysis, the Company reclassified approximately $0.7 million from
deferred note expense as discussed above.
The retroactive application of this update to the Codification resulted in the recognition of
additional pretax non-cash interest expense for Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008 of $3.1 million
and $2.8 million, respectively and a change to February 3, 2007 retained earnings balance of
$5.1 million.
The following table sets forth the effect of the retrospective application of this update to
the Codification on certain previously reported line items:

Terminated Merger Agreement
The Company announced in June 2007 that the boards of directors of both Genesco and The
Finish Line, Inc. had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement under which The
Finish Line would acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Genesco at $54.50 per share
in cash (the “Proposed Merger”). The Finish Line refused to close the Proposed Merger and
litigation ensued. The Proposed Merger and related agreement were terminated in March 2008
in connection with an agreement to settle the litigation with The Finish Line and UBS Loan
Finance LLC and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, “UBS”) for a cash payment of $175.0 million
to the Company and a 12% equity stake in The Finish Line, which the Company received in the
first quarter of Fiscal 2009. The Company distributed the 12% equity stake, or 6,518,971
shares of Class A Common Stock of The Finish Line, Inc., on June 13, 2008, to its common
shareholders of record on May 30, 2008, as required by the settlement agreement. During
Fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed $8.0 million and $27.6 million, respectively, in
merger-related litigation costs. The total merger-related litigation costs for Fiscal 2008
of $27.6 million were tax deductible in Fiscal 2009 and resulted in a permanent tax benefit
reflected as a component of income tax expense. For additional information, see the
“Merger-Related Litigation” section in Note 15.

Restructuring and Other Charges and Discontinued Operations
Restructuring and Other Charges
In accordance with Company policy, assets are determined to be impaired when the revised
estimated future cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying costs. Impairment
charges represent the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of those assets.
Asset impairment charges are reflected as a reduction of the net carrying value of property
and equipment, and in restructuring and other, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $13.5 million in Fiscal 2010. The charge
reflected in restructuring and other, net included $13.3 million for retail store asset
impairments and $0.4 million for lease terminations offset by $0.3 million for other legal
matters. Also included in the charge was $0.1 million in excess markdowns related to the
lease terminations which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
The Company recorded a total pretax charge to earnings of $7.7 million in Fiscal 2009. The
charge reflected in restructuring and other, net included $8.6 million of charges for retail
store asset impairments, $1.6 million for lease terminations and $1.1 million for other legal
matters, offset by a $3.8 million gain from a lease termination transaction. Also included
in the charge was $0.2 million in excess markdowns related to the store lease terminations
which is reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company recorded a total pretax charge to earnings of $10.6 million in Fiscal 2008. The
charge reflected in restructuring and other, net included $8.7 million of charges for retail
store asset impairments and $1.5 million for lease terminations, offset by $0.5 million in
excise tax refunds and an antitrust settlement. Also included in the charge was $0.9 million

The Company adopted the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification as
of February 3, 2008, with the exception of the application of the topic to non-recurring,
nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations or financial position. This Topic defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February
2008, the FASB issued an amendment to the Fair Value Topic, to delay the effective date for
all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least
annually). The Company adopted the amendment as of February 1, 2009.
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic defines fair value as the exchange price
that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value
hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of
inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term
of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, the Company
recorded $13.3 million of impairment charges as a result of the fair value measurement of its
long-lived assets held and used on a nonrecurring basis during the twelve months ended
January 30, 2010. These charges are reflected in restructuring and other, net on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of these long-lived
assets at January 30, 2010. Discount rate and growth rate assumptions are derived from
current economic conditions, expectations of management and projected trends of current
operating results. As a result, the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs
used to value its long-lived assets held and used are unobservable inputs that fall within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company adopted the provisions of the FASB’s Debt with Conversion and Other Options
Sub-Topic of the Codification for its Debentures as of February 1, 2009. The impact of the
adoption is discussed in more detail in Note 2. |
Long-term debt maturing during each of the next five years ending January is zero for each year.
Credit Facility:
On December 1, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Credit Facility”) by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto,
as other borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Credit Facility expires December 1, 2011. The Credit Facility replaced the Company’s $105.0
million revolving credit facility.
Deferred financing costs incurred of $1.2 million related to the Credit Facility were capitalized
and are being amortized over four years. These costs are included in other non-current assets on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company did not have any revolver borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at January
30, 2010. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $11.0 million under the facility at
January 30, 2010. These letters of credit support product purchases and lease and insurance
indemnifications.

Note 8
Long-Term Debt, Continued
The material terms of the Credit Facility are as follows:
Availability
The Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $200.0
million, with a $20.0 million swingline loan sublimit and a $70.0 million sublimit for the
issuance of standby letters of credit, and has a five-year term. Any swingline loans and letters
of credit will reduce the availability under the Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In
addition, the Company has an option to increase the availability under the Credit Facility by up
to $100.0 million (in increments no less than $25.0 million) subject to, among other things, the
receipt of commitments for the increased amount. The aggregate amount of the loans made and
letters of credit issued under the Restated Credit Agreement shall at no time exceed the lesser of
the facility amount ($200.0 million or, if increased at the Company’s option, up to $300.0
million) or the “Borrowing Base”, which generally is based on 85% of eligible inventory plus 85%
of eligible accounts receivable less applicable reserves.
Collateral
The loans and other obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the
presently owned and hereafter acquired non-real estate assets of the Company and certain
subsidiaries of the Company.
Interest and Fees
The Company’s borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at varying rates that, at the
Company’s option, can be based on either:
| • |
|
a base rate generally defined as the sum of the prime rate of Bank of America,
N.A. and an applicable margin. |
| |
| • |
|
a LIBO rate generally defined as the sum of LIBOR (as quoted on the British
Banking Association Telerate Page 3750) and an applicable margin. |
The initial applicable margin for base rate loans was 0.00%, and the initial applicable margin for
LIBOR loans was 1.00%. Thereafter, the applicable margin will be subject to adjustment based on
“Excess Availability” for the prior quarter. As of January 30, 2010, the margin for LIBOR loans
was 1.00%. The term “Excess Availability” means, as of any given date, the excess (if any) of the
Borrowing Base over the outstanding credit extensions under the Credit Facility.
Interest on the Company’s borrowings is payable monthly in arrears for base rate loans and at the
end of each interest rate period (but not less often than quarterly) for LIBOR loans.

Note 8
Long-Term Debt, Continued
The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on the difference between committed amounts
and the aggregate amount (including the aggregate amount of letters of credit) of the credit
extensions outstanding under the Credit Facility, which initially was 0.25% per annum, subject to
adjustment in the same manner as the applicable margins for interest rates.
Certain Covenants
The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants unless Adjusted Excess
Availability is less than 10% of the total commitments under the Credit Facility (currently $20.0
million). The term “Adjusted Excess Availability” means, as of any given date, the excess (if
any) of (a) the lesser of the total commitments under the Credit Facility and the Borrowing Base
over (b) the outstanding credit extensions under the Credit Facility. If and during such time as
Adjusted Excess Availability is less than such amount, the Credit Facility requires the Company to
meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA less capital expenditures less cash taxes
divided by cash interest expense and scheduled payments of principal indebtedness) of 1.00 to
1.00. Because Adjusted Excess Availability exceeded $20.0 million, the Company was not required
to comply with this financial covenant at January 30, 2010.
In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict
additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends
and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, asset dispositions, mergers and
consolidations, prepayments or material amendments of other indebtedness and other matters
customarily restricted in such agreements.
Cash Dominion
The Credit Facility also contains cash dominion provisions that apply in the event that the
Company’s Adjusted Excess Availability fails to meet certain thresholds or there is an event of
default under the Credit Facility.
Events of Default
The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment
defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain
other material indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and
insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts and change in control.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Facility or their affiliates have provided, and may in the
future provide, certain commercial banking, financial advisory, and investment banking services in
the ordinary course of business for the Company, its subsidiaries and certain of its affiliates,
for which they receive customary fees and commissions.

4 1/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2023:
On June 24, 2003 and June 26, 2003, the Company issued a total of $86.3 million of 4 1/8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) due June 15, 2023. The Debentures were
convertible at the option of the holders into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$1.00 per share: (1) in any quarter in which the price of its common stock issuable upon
conversion of a Debenture reached 120% or more of the conversion price ($24.07 or more) for 10 of
the last 30 trading days of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (2) if specified corporate
transactions occurred or (3) if the trading price for the Debentures fell below certain
thresholds. Upon conversion, the Company would have the right to deliver, in lieu of its common
stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. Subject to the above
conditions, each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures was convertible into 49.8462 shares
(equivalent to a conversion price of $20.06 per share of common stock) subject to adjustment.
There were $30,000 of debentures converted to 1,356 shares of common stock during Fiscal 2008.
On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into separate exchange agreements whereby it acquired and
retired $56.4 million in aggregate principal amount ($51.3 million fair value) of its Debentures
due June 15, 2023 in exchange for the issuance of 3,066,713 shares of its common stock, which
include 2,811,575 shares that were reserved for conversion of the Debentures and 255,138
additional inducement shares, and a cash payment of approximately $0.9 million. The inducement
was not deductible for tax purposes. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, holders of an
aggregate of $21.04 million principal amount of its 4 1/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
were converted to 1,048,764 shares of common stock pursuant to separate conversion agreements
which provided for payment of an aggregate of $0.3 million to induce conversion. On November 4,
2009, the Company issued a notice of redemption to the remaining holders of the $8.775 million
outstanding 4 1/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. As permitted by the Indenture, holders
of all except $1,000 in principal amount of the remaining Debentures converted their Debentures
to 437,347 shares of common stock prior to the redemption date of December 3, 2009. As a result
of the exchange agreements and conversions, the Company recognized a loss on the early retirement
of debt of $5.5 million in Fiscal 2010, reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
After the exchanges and conversions there was zero aggregate principal amount of Debentures
outstanding.

Note 8
Long-Term Debt, Continued
The Company paid cash interest on the debentures at an annual rate of 4.125% of the principal
amount at issuance, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15,
2003. The Company was required to pay contingent interest (in the amounts set forth in the
Debentures) to holders of the Debentures during any six-month period from and including an
interest payment date to, but excluding, the next interest payment date, commencing with the
six-month period ending December 15, 2008, if the average trading price of the Debentures for the
five consecutive trading day measurement period immediately preceding the applicable six-month
period equaled 120% or more of the principal amount of the Debentures. This contingency was
satisfied during the six-month period ended December 15, 2008. As a result, the Company paid
$0.1 million in contingent interest on December 15, 2008. No contingent interest was paid with
the June 15, 2009 interest payment.
Deferred financing costs of $2.9 million relating to the issuance were initially capitalized and
being amortized over seven years. As a result of adoption of the FASB’s Debt with Conversion and
Other Options Sub-Topic of the Codification, $0.7 million was reclassified from deferred note
expense to additional paid-in capital. Due to the exchanges and conversions, deferred financing
costs of $0.3 million were written off and included in loss on early retirement of debt in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For leases that contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals, the related rental
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis and the cumulative expense recognized on the
straight-line basis in excess of the cumulative payments is included in deferred rent and other
long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company occasionally receives
reimbursements from landlords to be used towards construction of the store the Company intends to
lease. Leasehold improvements are recorded at their gross costs including items reimbursed by
landlords. The reimbursements are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the initial lease
term. Tenant allowances of $22.1 million and $24.6 million for Fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively,
and deferred rent of $31.1 million and $29.0 million for Fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, are
included in deferred rent and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Shareholders’ Equity, Continued
The Company’s shareholders’ rights plan grants to common shareholders the right to purchase,
at a specified exercise price, a fraction of a share of subordinated serial preferred stock,
Series 6, in the event of an acquisition of, or an announced tender offer for, 15% or more of
the Company’s outstanding common stock. Upon any such event, each right also entitles the
holder (other than the person making such acquisition or tender offer) to purchase, at the
exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price. In
the event the Company is acquired in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, each right would entitle its holder to purchase, at the exercise price, shares of
the acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights expire in
August 2010, are redeemable under certain circumstances for $.01 per right and are subject to
exchange for one share of common stock or an equivalent amount of preferred stock at any time
after the event which makes the rights exercisable and before a majority of the Company’s
common stock is acquired.
$1.50 Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock:
Stated and liquidation values and redemption price are 88 times the average quarterly per
share dividend paid on common stock for the previous eight quarters (if any), but in no event
less than $30 per share plus accumulated dividends.
Employees’ Subordinated Convertible Preferred Stock:
Stated and liquidation values are 88 times the average quarterly per share dividend paid on
common stock for the previous eight quarters (if any), but in no event less than $30 per
share.

Restrictions on Dividends and Redemptions of Capital Stock:
The Company’s charter provides that no dividends may be paid and no shares of capital stock
acquired for value if there are dividend or redemption arrearages on any senior or equally
ranked stock. Exchanges of subordinated serial preferred stock for common stock or other
stock junior to such exchanged stock are permitted.
The Company’s Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends and other restricted
payments unless after such dividend or restricted payment availability under the Credit
Facility exceeds $50.0 million or if availability is between $30.0 million and $50.0 million,
the Company’s fixed charge coverage must be greater than 1.0 to 1.0. The Company’s
management does not believe its availability under the Credit Facility will fall below $50.0
million during Fiscal 2011.
Dividends declared for Fiscal 2010 for the Company’s Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock,
$2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4, and the Company’s $1.50 Subordinated
Cumulative Preferred Stock were $198,000 in the aggregate.

The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 42.4%
for Fiscal 2010, compared with an effective tax rate of 37.7% for Fiscal 2009. The increase in the
effective tax rate for Fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to the non-deductibility of certain
items incurred in connection with the inducement of the conversion of the Debentures for common
stock this year and by the deduction last year of prior period merger-related expenses that became
deductible upon termination of the Finish Line merger agreement. This was offset by an income tax
liability on an increase in value of shares of common stock received in the settlement of
litigation with The Finish Line that had no corresponding income in the financial statements. In
addition, last year’s effective rate was lower due to a $1.2 million reduction in tax liabilities
from an agreement reached on a state income tax contingency.
As of January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, the Company had state net operating
loss carryforwards of $0.4 million, $0 and $5.8 million, respectively, which expire in fiscal years
2015 through 2030.
As of January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, the Company had state tax credits of
$0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0, respectively. These credits expire in fiscal year 2024.
As of January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, the Company had foreign tax credits
of $0.4 million, $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These credits will expire in fiscal
year 2020.
Management believes a valuation allowance is not necessary because it is more likely than not that
the Company will ultimately utilize the credits and other deferred tax assets based on existing
carryback ability and expectations as to future taxable income in the jurisdictions in which it
operates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 11
Income Taxes, Continued
As of January 30, 2010, the Company has not provided for withholding or United States federal
income taxes on approximately $4.7 million of accumulated undistributed earnings of its foreign
Canadian subsidiary as they are considered by management to be permanently reinvested. If these
undistributed earnings were not considered to be permanently reinvested, approximately $1.9 million
deferred income taxes would have been provided.
The methodology in the Income Tax Topic of the Codification prescribes that a company should
use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax
position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should
be measured in order to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
The Company adopted this methodology as of February 4, 2007. As a result of the adoption, the
Company recognized a $4.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits which, as
required, was accounted for as a reduction to the February 4, 2007 balance of retained earnings.
The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for
Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $17.0 million, $13.5 million and $4.9 million
as of January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, respectively. The entire amount
of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008 would
impact the annual effective rate if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may
change during the next twelve months, but the Company does not believe the change, if any, will
be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company sponsored a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan. As of January 1, 1996, the
Company amended the plan to change the pension benefit formula to a cash balance formula from the
then existing benefit calculation based upon years of service and final average pay. The benefits
accrued under the old formula were frozen as of December 31, 1995. Upon retirement, the participant
will receive this accrued benefit payable as an annuity. In addition, the participant will receive
as a lump sum (or annuity if desired) the amount credited to the participant’s cash balance account
under the new formula. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company froze the defined benefit cash
balance plan which prevents any new entrants into the plan as of that date as well as affects the
amounts credited to the participants’ accounts as discussed below.
Under the cash balance formula, beginning January 1, 1996, the Company credited each participants’
account annually with an amount equal to 4% of the participant’s compensation plus 4% of the
participant’s compensation in excess of the Social Security taxable wage base. Beginning December
31, 1996 and annually thereafter, the account balance of each active participant was credited with
7% interest calculated on the sum of the balance as of the beginning of the plan year and 50% of
the amounts credited to the account, other than interest, for the plan year. The account balance
of each participant who was inactive would be credited with interest at the lesser of 7% or the 30
year Treasury rate. Under the frozen plan, each participants’ cash balance plan account will be
credited annually only with interest at the 30 year Treasury rate, not to exceed 7%, until the
participant retires. The amount credited each year will be based on the rate at the end of the
prior year.
Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company provides health care benefits for early retirees and life insurance benefits for
certain retirees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Under the health care plan,
early retirees are eligible for limited benefits until age 65. Employees who meet certain
requirements are eligible for life insurance benefits upon retirement. The Company accrues such
benefits during the period in which the employee renders service.

The Company adopted the measurement date change required by the Compensation-Retirement Benefits
Topic of the Codification as of January 31, 2009. This update to the Codification required the
Company to change the measurement date for its defined benefit pension plan and postretirement
benefit plan from December 31 to January 31 (end of fiscal year). As a result of this change,
pension expense and actuarial gains/losses for the one-month period ended January 31, 2009 were
recognized as adjustments to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss,
respectively, net of tax. |

The weighted average discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation for the pension plan
decreased from 6.875% to 5.625% from Fiscal 2009 to Fiscal 2010. The decrease in the rate
increased the accumulated benefit obligation by $12.3 million and increased the projected benefit
obligation by $12.3 million. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the benefit
obligation for the pension plan increased from 5.875% to 6.875% from Fiscal 2008 to Fiscal 2009.
The increase in the rate decreased the accumulated benefit obligation by $10.0 million and
decreased the projected benefit obligation by $10.0 million.
To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered
historical asset returns, the current asset allocation and future expectations. Considering this
information, the Company selected an 8.25% long-term rate of return on assets assumption.

The investment strategy of the trust is to ensure over the long-term an asset pool, that when
combined with company contributions, will support benefit obligations to participants, retirees and
beneficiaries. Investment management responsibilities of plan assets are delegated to outside
investment advisers and overseen by an Investment Committee comprised of members of the Company’s
senior management that is appointed by the Board of Directors. The Company has an investment
policy that provides direction on the implementation of this strategy.
The investment policy establishes a target allocation for each asset class and investment manager.
The actual asset allocation versus the established target is reviewed at least quarterly and is
maintained within a +/- 5% range of the target asset allocation. Target allocations are 50%
domestic equity, 13% international equity, 35% fixed income and 2% cash investments.
All investments are made solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries for the
exclusive purposes of providing benefits to such participants and their beneficiaries and defraying
the expenses related to administering the Trust as determined by the Investment Committee. All
assets shall be properly diversified to reduce the potential of a single security or single sector
of securities having a disproportionate impact on the portfolio.

The Committee utilizes an outside investment consultant and a team of investment managers to
implement its various investment strategies. Performance of the managers is reviewed quarterly and
the investment objectives are consistently evaluated.
At January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, there were no Company related assets in the plan.
Generally, quoted market prices are used to value pension plan assets. Equities, some fixed income
securities, publicly traded investment funds and U.S. government obligations are valued at the
closing price reported on the active market on which the individual security is traded.
The following table presents the pension plan assets by level within the fair value hierarchy as of
January 30, 2010.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans, Continued
Contributions
There was no ERISA cash requirement for the plan in 2009 and none is projected to be required in
2010. However, the Company’s current cash policy is to fund the cost of benefits accruing each
year (the “normal cost”) plus an amortization of the unfunded accrued liability. The Company made
a $4.0 million contribution in February 2010.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
Expected benefit payments from the trust, including future service and pay, are as follows:

Section 401(k) Savings Plan
The Company has a Section 401(k) Savings Plan available to employees who have completed one full
year of service and are age 21 or older.
Concurrent with the January 1, 1996 amendment to the pension plan (discussed previously), the
Company amended the 401(k) savings plan to make matching contributions equal to 50% of each
employee’s contribution of up to 5% of salary. Concurrent with freezing the defined benefit
pension plan effective January 1, 2005, the Company amended the 401(k) savings plan to change the
formula for matching contributions. Beginning January 1, 2005, the Company will match 100% of each
employee’s contribution of up to 3% of salary and 50% of the next 2% of salary. In addition, for
those employees hired before December 31, 2004, who were eligible for the Company’s cash balance
retirement plan before it was frozen, the Company will make an additional contribution of 2 1/2%
of salary to each employee’s account. Participants are vested immediately in the matching
contribution of their accounts. The contribution expense to the Company for the matching program
was approximately $3.2 million for Fiscal 2010, $3.1 million for Fiscal 2009 and $3.0 million for
Fiscal 2008.

The amount of the dividend on the convertible preferred stock per common share
obtainable on conversion of the convertible preferred stock is higher than basic earnings
per share for Series 4 for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2008, Series 3 for Fiscal 2010 and
Fiscal 2008 and Series 1 for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2008. Therefore, conversion of Series
4, Series 3 and Series 1 convertible preferred stock is not reflected in diluted earnings
per share for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2008, because it would have been antidilutive. The
amount of the dividend on Series 4, Series 3 and Series 1 convertible preferred stock per
common share obtainable on conversion of the convertible preferred stock was less than
basic earnings per share for Fiscal 2009. Therefore, conversion of Series 4, Series 3 and
Series 1 preferred shares were included in diluted earnings per share for Fiscal 2009.
The shares convertible to common stock for Series 1, 3 and 4 preferred stock would have
been 27,913 and 25,949 and 5,423, respectively, as of January 30, 2010. |

|
The amount of the interest on the convertible subordinated debentures for Fiscal 2008 per
common share obtainable on conversion is higher than basic earnings per share, therefore
the convertible debentures are not reflected in diluted earnings per share for Fiscal 2008
because it was antidilutive. |
| |
| (3) |
|
The Company’s Employees’ Subordinated Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible one for
one to the Company’s common stock. Because there are no dividends paid on this stock,
these shares are assumed to be converted. |

computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares.
The weighted shares outstanding reflects the effect of stock buy back programs. In a series of
authorizations from Fiscal 1999-2003, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 7.5 million shares. In June 2006, the board authorized an additional $20.0 million in stock
repurchases. In August 2006, the board authorized an additional $30.0 million in stock
repurchases. The Company did not repurchase any shares during Fiscal 2008. In March 2008, the
board authorized up to $100.0 million in stock repurchases primarily funded with the after-tax cash
proceeds of the settlement of merger-related litigation with The Finish Line and UBS (see Notes 3
and 15). The Company repurchased 4.0 million shares at a cost of $90.9 million during Fiscal 2009.
The Company repurchased 85,000 shares at a cost of $2.0 million during Fiscal 2010, which was not
paid at the end of Fiscal 2010 but included in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. In total, the Company has repurchased 12.2 million shares at a cost of $196.3
million from all authorizations as of January 30, 2010. In February 2010, the board increased the
total repurchase authorization to $35.0 million.

Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans, as of January 30, 2010, are described below. The
Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the
awards as required by the Compensation — Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has two fixed stock incentive plans. Under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009
Plan”), effective as of June 24, 2009, the Company may grant options, restricted shares,
performance awards and other stock-based awards to its employees, consultants and directors for up
to 1.2 million shares of common stock. Under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”),
effective as of June 23, 2005, the Company may grant options, restricted shares and other
stock-based awards to its employees and consultants as well as directors for up to 1.0 million
shares of common stock. There will be no future awards under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.
Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock
on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. Options granted under both plans
vest 25% per year.
For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized share-based compensation cost of $0.4
million, $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for its fixed stock incentive plans included
in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company did not capitalize any share-based compensation cost.

Note 14
Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued
The Compensation — Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification requires that the cash flows
resulting from tax benefits for tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for
those options (excess tax benefit) be classified as financing cash flows. Accordingly, the Company
classified excess tax benefits of $0.2 million and $0.7 million as financing cash inflows rather
than as operating cash inflows on its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for Fiscal 2009 and
2008, respectively.
The Company did not grant any shares of fixed stock options in Fiscal 2010 or 2009. The Company
granted 2,351 shares of fixed stock options in Fiscal 2008. For Fiscal 2008, the Company estimated
the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The Company based expected volatility on historical term structures. The Company based the
risk free rate on an interest rate for a bond with a maturity commensurate with the expected term
estimate. The Company estimated the expected term of stock options using historical exercise and
employee termination experience. The Company does not currently pay a dividend. The following
table shows the weighted average assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates for Fiscal
2008:

As of January 31, 2010 there were $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to
nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock incentive plans discussed
above. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.7 years.
Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for Fiscal 2010,
2009 and 2008 was $0.4 million, $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Incentive Plans
Director Restricted Stock
The 2009 and 2005 Plans permit the board of directors to grant restricted stock to non-employee
directors on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders at which an outside director is first
elected (“New Director Grants”). The outside director restricted stock so granted is to vest with
respect to one-third of the shares each year as long as the director is still serving as a
director. Once the shares have vested, the director is restricted from selling, transferring,
pledging or assigning the shares for an additional two years. There were no shares issued in New
Director Grants in Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued
In addition, the 2009 and 2005 Plans permit an outside director to elect irrevocably to receive
all or a specified portion of his annual retainers for board membership and any committee
chairmanship for the following fiscal year in a number of shares of restricted stock (the
“Retainer Stock”). Shares of the Retainer Stock are granted as of the first business day of the
fiscal year as to which the election is effective, subject to forfeiture to the extent not earned
upon the outside director’s ceasing to serve as a director or committee chairman during such
fiscal year. Once the shares are earned, the director is restricted from selling, transferring,
pledging or assigning the shares for an additional three years. There were no retainer shares
issued in Fiscal 2010 or 2009. In Fiscal 2008, the Company issued 6,761 shares of Retainer
Stock.
Also pursuant to the 2005 Plan, annually on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders,
beginning in Fiscal 2007, each outside director received restricted stock valued at $60,000 based
on the average of stock prices for the first five days in the month of the annual meeting of
shareholders. The outside director restricted stock vests with respect to one-third of the
shares each year as long as the director is still serving as a director. Once the shares vest,
the director is restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for an
additional two years. Under the 2009 Plan, director stock awards were made during Fiscal 2010 on
substantially the same terms as grants under the 2005 Plan. For Fiscal 2010 and 2009, the
Company issued 21,204 shares and 18,792 shares, respectively, of director restricted stock. There
were no shares of director restricted stock issued in Fiscal 2008.
For Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.6
million, respectively, of director restricted stock related share-based compensation in selling
and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Employee Restricted Stock
Under the 2009 Plan, the Company issued 383,745 shares of employee restricted stock in Fiscal
2010. Under the 2005 Plan, the Company issued 397,273 shares and 3,547 shares of employee
restricted stock in Fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of the 383,745 shares issued in Fiscal
2010, 359,096 shares and the shares issued in Fiscal 2008 vest 25% per year over four years,
provided that on such date the grantee has remained continuously employed by the Company since
the date of grant. The additional 24,649 shares issued in Fiscal 2010 and the shares issued in
Fiscal 2009 vest one-third per year over three years. The fair value of employee restricted
stock is charged against income as compensation cost over the vesting period. Compensation cost
recognized in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations for these shares was $6.2 million, $6.0 million and $4.0 million for Fiscal 2010, 2009
and 2008, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested shares of its

Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1.0 million
shares of common stock to qualifying full-time employees whose total annual base salary is less
than $90,000, effective October 1, 2002. Prior to October 1, 2002, the total annual base salary
was limited to $100,000. Under the terms of the Plan, employees could choose each year to have up
to 15% of their annual base earnings or $8,500, whichever is lower, withheld to purchase the
Company’s common stock. The purchase price of the stock was 85% of the closing market price of the
stock on either the exercise date or the grant date, whichever was less. The Company’s board of
directors amended the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective October 1, 2005 to provide
that participants may acquire shares under the Plan at a 5% discount from fair market value on the
last day of the Plan year. Employees can choose each year to have up to 15% of their annual base
earnings or $9,500, whichever is lower, withheld to purchase the Company’s common stock. Under
the Compensation — Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification, shares issued under the Plan as
amended are non-compensatory. No participant contributions were accepted by the Company under the
Plan after September 28, 2007 as a result of the Finish Line merger agreement, which was
terminated in March 2008. A new “short” plan year began April 1, 2008 and a normal plan year
resumed on October 1, 2008. Under the Plan, the Company sold 4,350 shares, 1,711 shares and 4,813
shares to employees in Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock Purchase Plans
Stock purchase accounts arising out of sales to employees prior to 1972 under certain
employee stock purchase plans amounted to $123,000 and $132,000 at January 30, 2010 and January
31, 2009, respectively, and were secured at January 30, 2010, by 6,670 employees’ preferred
shares. Payments on stock purchase accounts under the stock purchase plans have been indefinitely
deferred. No further sales under these plans are contemplated.

Legal Proceedings
Environmental Matters
New York State Environmental Matters
In August 1997, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) and the
Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company assumed responsibility for conducting a
remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RIFS”) and implementing an interim remedial measure
(“IRM”) with regard to the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company
from 1965 to 1969. The Company undertook the IRM and RIFS voluntarily, without admitting liability
or accepting responsibility for any future remediation of the site. The Company has completed the
IRM and the RIFS. In the course of preparing the RIFS, the Company identified remedial
alternatives with estimated undiscounted costs ranging from $-0- to $24.0 million, excluding
amounts previously expended or provided for by the Company. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (“EPA”), which has assumed primary regulatory responsibility for the site from
NYSDEC, issued a Record of Decision in September 2007. The Record of Decision requires a remedy of
a combination of groundwater extraction and treatment and in-site chemical oxidation at an
estimated present worth cost of approximately $10.7 million.
In July 2009, the Company agreed to a Consent Order with the EPA requiring the Company to perform
certain remediation actions, operations, maintenance and monitoring at the site. In September
2009, a Consent Judgment embodying the Consent Order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York.

Legal Proceedings, Continued
The Village of Garden City, New York, has asserted that the Company is liable for the costs
associated with enhanced treatment required by the impact of the groundwater plume from the site on
two public water supply wells, including historical costs ranging from approximately $1.8 million
to in excess of $2.5 million, and future operation and maintenance costs which the Village
estimates at $126,400 annually while the enhanced treatment continues. On December 14, 2007, the
Village filed a complaint against the Company and the owner of the property under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) as well as a number of state law
theories in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, seeking an injunction
requiring the defendants to remediate contamination from the site and to establish their liability
for future costs that may be incurred in connection with it, which the complaint alleges could
exceed $41 million over a 70-year period. The Company has not verified the estimates of either
historic or future costs asserted by the Village, but believes that an estimate of future costs
based on a 70-year remediation period is unreasonable given the expected remedial period reflected
in the EPA’s Record of Decision. On May 23, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
Village’s complaint on grounds including applicable statutes of limitation and preemption of
certain claims by the NYSDEC’s and the EPA’s diligent prosecution of remediation. On January 27,
2009, the Court granted the motion to dismiss all counts of the plaintiff’s complaint except for
the CERCLA claim and a state law claim for indemnity for costs incurred after November 27, 2000.
On September 23, 2009, on a motion for reconsideration by the Village, the Court reinstated the
claims for injunctive relief under RCRA and for equitable relief under certain of the state law
theories.
In December 2005, the EPA notified the Company that it considers the Company a potentially
responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to contamination at two Superfund sites in upstate New York.
The sites were used as landfills for process wastes generated by a glue manufacturer, which
acquired tannery wastes from several tanners, allegedly including the Company’s Whitehall tannery,
for use as raw materials in the gluemaking process. The Company has no records indicating that it
ever provided raw materials to the gluemaking operation and has not been able to establish whether
the EPA’s substantive allegations are accurate. The Company, together with other tannery PRPs, has
entered into cost sharing agreements and Consent Decrees with the EPA with respect to both sites.
Based upon the current estimates of the cost of remediation, the Company’s share is expected to be
less than $250,000 in total for the two sites. While there is no assurance that the Company’s
share of the actual cost of remediation will not exceed the estimate, the Company does not
presently expect that its aggregate exposure with respect to these two landfill sites will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Whitehall Environmental Matters
The Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil, sediments, surface water, groundwater and
waste management areas at the Company’s former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall,
Michigan.
The Company has submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) and provided
for certain costs associated with a remedial action plan (the “Plan”) designed to bring the
property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial uses and has subsequently
engaged in negotiations regarding the scope of the Plan. The Company estimates that the costs of
resolving environmental contingencies related to the Whitehall property range from $3.9 million to
$4.4 million, and considers the cost of implementing the Plan, as it is modified in the course of
negotiations with the MDEQ, to be the most likely cost within that range. Until the Plan is
finally approved by the MDEQ, management cannot provide assurances that no further remediation will
be required or that its estimate of the range of possible costs or of the most likely cost of
remediation will prove accurate.
Accrual for Environmental Contingencies
Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, the Company had accrued $15.9 million as of
January 30, 2010, $16.0 million as of January 31, 2009 and $7.8 million as of February 2, 2008.
All such provisions reflect the Company’s estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted,
including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and
circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and
circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent
liabilities are included in the liability arising from provision for discontinued operations on the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of
these contingencies, including approximately $0.8 million reflected in Fiscal 2010, $9.4 million in
Fiscal 2009 and $2.9 million in Fiscal 2008. These charges are included in provision for
discontinued operations, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Merger-Related Litigation
Genesco Inc. v. The Finish Line, et al.
UBS Securities LLC and UBS Loan Finance LLC v. Genesco Inc., et al.
On June 18, 2007, the Company announced that the boards of directors of Genesco and The Finish Line
had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement under which The Finish Line would acquire
all of the outstanding common shares of Genesco at $54.50 per share in cash. On September 21,
2007, the Company filed suit against The Finish Line in Chancery Court in Nashville, Tennessee
seeking a court order requiring The Finish Line to consummate the merger with the Company (the
“Tennessee Action”). UBS Securities LLC and UBS Loan Finance LLC (collectively, “UBS”)
subsequently intervened as a defendant in the Tennessee Action, filed an answer to the amended
complaint and a counterclaim asserting fraud against the Company.
On November 15, 2007, UBS filed a separate lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the “New York Action”), naming the Company and The Finish Line as
defendants. In the New York Action, UBS sought a declaration that its commitment to provide The
Finish Line with financing for the merger transaction was void and/or could be terminated by UBS
because The Finish Line would not be able to provide, prior to the expiration of the financing
commitment on April 30, 2008, a valid solvency certificate attesting to the solvency of the
combined entities resulting from the merger, which certificate was a condition precedent to the
closing of the financing. The Company was named in the New York Action as an interested party.
Trial of the Tennessee Action began on December 10, 2007 and concluded on December 18, 2007. On
December 27, 2007, the Chancery Court ordered The Finish Line to specifically perform the terms of
the Merger Agreement. In its order, the Court rejected UBS’s and The Finish Line’s claims of fraud
and misrepresentation and declared that all conditions to the Merger Agreement had been met. The
Court also declared that The Finish Line had breached the Merger Agreement by not closing the
merger. The Court ordered The Finish Line to close the merger pursuant to section 1.2 of the
Merger Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions to consummate the merger
as required by section 6.4(d) of the Merger Agreement, and to use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain financing as per section 6.8(a) of the Merger Agreement. The Court excluded from its order
any ruling on the issue of the solvency of the combined company, finding that the issue of solvency
was reserved for determination by the New York Court in the New York Action filed by UBS.

On March 3, 2008, the Company, The Finish Line, and UBS entered into a definitive agreement for the
termination of the merger agreement with The Finish Line and the settlement of all related
litigation among The Finish Line and the Company and UBS, including the Tennessee Action and the
New York Action. In the settlement agreement, the parties agreed that: (1) the merger agreement
between the Company and The Finish Line would be terminated; (2) the financing commitment from UBS
to The Finish Line would be terminated; (3) UBS and The Finish Line would pay to the Company an
aggregate of $175 million in cash; (4) The Finish Line would transfer to the Company a number of
Class A shares of The Finish Line common stock equal to 12.0% of the total post-issuance
outstanding shares of The Finish Line common stock which the Company would use its best efforts to
distribute to its common shareholders as soon as practicable after the shares’ registration and
listing on NASDAQ; (5) the Company and The Finish Line would be subject to a mutual standstill
agreement; and (6) the parties would execute customary mutual releases. Stipulations of Dismissal
were filed by all parties to both the New York Action and the Tennessee Action, and both Actions
were dismissed. The Company distributed the shares of The Finish Line common stock received in the
settlement to the Company’s shareholders during the second quarter of Fiscal 2009.
California Matters
On June 16, 2008, there was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
Shasta, a putative class action styled Jacobs v. Genesco Inc. et al., alleging violations of the
California Labor Code involving payment of wages, failure to provide mandatory meal and rest
breaks, and unfair competition, and seeking back pay, penalties and declaratory and injunctive
relief. The Company removed the case to the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
California. On September 3, 2008, the court dismissed certain of the plaintiff’s claims, including
claims for conversion and punitive damages. On May 5, 2009, the Company and the plaintiff’s
counsel reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit on a claims made basis. On January
21, 2010, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The minimum payment by the
Company pursuant to the agreement, which remains subject to final court approval, is $398,000; the
maximum is $703,000.

Patent Action
The Company is named as a defendant in Paul Ware and Financial Systems Innovation, L.L.C. v.
Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., et al., filed on June 19, 2007, in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia, against more than 100 retailers. The suit alleges that
the defendants have infringed U.S. Patent No. 4,707,592 by using a feature of their retail point of
sale registers to generate transaction numbers for credit card purchases. The complaint seeks
treble damages in an unspecified amount and attorneys’ fees. The Company has filed an answer
denying the substantive allegations in the complaint and asserting certain affirmative defenses.
On December 14, 2007, the Company filed a third-party complaint against Datavantage Corporation and
MICROS Systems, Inc., its vendor for the technology at issue in the case, seeking indemnification
and defense against the infringement allegations in the complaint. On December 27, 2007, the court
stayed proceedings in the litigation pending the outcome of a reexamination of the patent by the U.
S. Patent and Trademark Office. On September 15, 2008, the patent examiner issued a first Office
Action rejecting all of the claims in the patent as being unpatentable over the prior art. On
January 21, 2009, the examiner issued a final office action again rejecting all of the claims in
the patent. In April 2009, the examiner issued a Notice of Intent to Issue an Ex Parte
Reexamination Certificate for the patent. The litigation is in discovery.
Other Matters
In addition to the matters specifically described in this footnote, the Company is a party to other
legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While
management does not believe that the Company’s liability with respect to any of these other matters
is likely to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations, legal
proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could have a material
adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

ITEM 9, CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A, CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information
relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers
who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the
Board of Directors.
Based on their evaluation as of January 30, 2010, the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in
the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii)
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
as of January 30, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework drafted by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of
January 30, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on
these criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.
122
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely
to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B, OTHER INFORMATION
