Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. / 03
OUR MISSION AND STRATEGIES
Our mission is to be the leading lifestyle retailer of casual
fashion apparel, footwear and accessories for teens. Our target
customers are young men and women between the ages of 12 and 24.
We believe our customers want to stay current with, or ahead of,
fashion trends and continually seek newness in their everyday
wear. We offer a complete wardrobe selection representing
fashion trends considered timely by our target customers. We
believe the following items are the key strategic elements
necessary to achieve our mission:
Offer Popular Name Brands Supplemented by Private Brands.
In each of our store formats, we offer a carefully edited
selection of popular name brands supplemented by our own
proprietary brands, with the goal of being seen by our teenage
and young adult customers as the source for wardrobe choices
appropriate to their lifestyle. We believe that our
merchandising strategy differentiates our stores from
competitors who may offer 100% proprietary brands, greater than
80% name brands, or seek to serve a wider customer base and age
range. See Merchandising.
Promote the PacSun and d.e.m.o. Brand Images. We promote
the PacSun and d.e.m.o. brands primarily through national print
advertising in major magazines that target teens and young
adults. We also maintain a proprietary brand credit card through
a third party to promote the PacSun brand image and lifestyle.
Actively Manage Merchandise Trends. We do not attempt to
dictate fashion, but instead devote considerable effort to
identifying emerging fashion trends and brand names. We use
focus groups, listen to our customers and store employees,
monitor sell-through trends, test small quantities of new
merchandise in a limited number of stores, and maintain close
domestic and international sourcing relationships. We believe
that these practices enhance our ability to identify and respond
to emerging fashion trends and brand names as well as develop
new proprietary brand styles in order to capitalize on existing
fashion trends.
Maintain Strong Vendor Relationships. We view our vendor
relationships as important to our success and we promote
frequent personal interaction with our vendors. We believe many
of our vendors view PacSun, PacSun Outlet and d.e.m.o. stores as
important distribution channels due to our nationwide presence
and ability to introduce products to a broad audience. We tend
to be one of the largest, if not the largest, customers for many
of our vendors and we work closely with them to respond to
emerging fashion trends and to obtain PacSun and d.e.m.o.
exclusives, which are products that cannot be found
at any other retailer.
Provide Attentive Customer Service. We are committed to
offering courteous, professional and non-intrusive customer
service. We strive to give our young customers the same level of
respect that is generally given to adult customers at other
retail stores, and to provide friendly and informed customer
service for parents. Responding to the expressed preferences of
our customers, we train our employees to greet each customer, to
give prompt and courteous assistance when asked, and to thank
customers after purchases are made, but to refrain from giving
extensive unsolicited advice. PacSun and PacSun Outlet stores
display large assortments of name brands and proprietary brands,
merchandised by category. d.e.m.o. merchandise is displayed by
brand accompanied by vendor logo signage. Additionally, the
stores provide a friendly and social atmosphere for teens with
appropriate background music, while also providing a comfortable
environment for parents and other adults. We believe the
combination of our attentive customer service and unique store
environments is key to our success.
Continue to Expand the Number of Stores. We intend to
continue our store growth through the opening of new stores
under our three existing formats in the next three years. We may
also continue our growth through the launch of a fourth store
format or by acquiring an existing retail chain. In each of the
last three fiscal years in the period ended January 29,
2005, we opened 113, 86, and 73 net new stores,
respectively. See Store Expansion within the
Stores section of this document for further details
regarding plans for fiscal 2005.
Offer Merchandise for Sale Over the Internet. We sell
merchandise over the internet at www.pacsun.com. The
website offers a selection of the same merchandise carried in
PacSun stores. We maintain a substantial database of e-mail
names that we use for marketing purposes. We also advertise our
website as a shopping destination on certain internet portals
and search engines and market our website in our PacSun stores
using in-store signage, merchandise bags and receipts. Our
internet strategy benefits from the nationwide retail presence
of our stores, the strong brand
04 / Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc.
recognition of PacSun, a loyal and internet-savvy customer base,
the participation of PacSuns key brands and the ability to
return merchandise to PacSun stores. We plan to begin selling
merchandise on our d.e.m.o. website at www.demostores.com during
fiscal 2005.
MERCHANDISING
Merchandise. PacSun, PacSun Outlet and d.e.m.o. stores

(girls), with the goal of being viewed by our
customers as the dominant retailer for their lifestyle. The
following table sets forth our merchandise assortment as a

We offer many name brands best known by our target customers.
PacSun offers a wide selection of well-known board-sport
inspired name brands, such as Quiksilver/ Roxy/ DC Shoes,
Billabong/ Element, Hurley and Volcom. d.e.m.o. offers
well-known name brands sought by its target customers, such as
Ecko, Phat Farm/ Baby Phat, Enyce, Rocawear, Sean John,
Akademiks and Apple Bottoms. In addition, we continuously add
and support up-and-coming new brands in both PacSun and d.e.m.o.
During fiscal 2004, Quiksilver (which incorporates the
Quiksilver, Roxy, and DC Shoes brands) accounted for 10.9% of
total net sales and Billabong (which incorporates both Billabong
and Element brands) accounted for 9.4% of total net sales. No
other individual branded vendor accounted for more than 4% of
total net sales during fiscal 2004.
We supplement our name brand offerings with our own proprietary
brands. Proprietary brands provide us an opportunity to broaden
our customer base by providing merchandise of comparable quality
to brand name merchandise at lower prices, to capitalize on
emerging fashion trends when branded merchandise is not
available in sufficient quantities, and to exercise a greater
degree of control over the flow of our merchandise. Our own
product design group, in collaboration with our buying staff,
designs our proprietary brand merchandise. We have a sourcing
group that oversees the manufacture and delivery of our
proprietary brand merchandise, with manufacturing contracted
both domestically and internationally. Proprietary brand
merchandise sales accounted for approximately 30%, 32% and 33%
of total net sales in each of fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Vendor and Contract Manufacturer Relationships. We
maintain strong and interactive relationships with our vendors,
many of whose philosophies of controlled distribution and
merchandise development are consistent with our own strategy. We
generally purchase merchandise from vendors who prefer
distributing through specialty retailers, small boutiques and,
in some cases, better department stores, rather than
distributing their merchandise through mass-market channels.
To encourage the design and development of new merchandise, we
frequently share ideas regarding fashion trends and merchandise
sell-through information with our vendors. We also suggest
merchandise design and fabrication to certain vendors. We
encourage the development of new vendor relationships by
attending trade shows and inviting potential new vendors to make
presentations of their merchandise to our buying staff.
We have cultivated our proprietary brand sources with a view
toward high-quality merchandise, production reliability and
consistency of fit. We source our proprietary brand merchandise
both domestically and internationally in order to benefit from
the lower costs associated with foreign manufacturing and the
shorter lead times associated with domestic manufacturing.
Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. / 05
Purchasing, Allocation and Distribution. Our
merchandising department oversees the purchasing and allocation
of our merchandise. Our buyers are responsible for reviewing
branded merchandise lines from new and existing vendors,
identifying emerging fashion trends, and selecting branded and
proprietary brand merchandise styles in quantities, colors and
sizes to meet inventory levels established by Company
management. Our planning and allocation department is
responsible for management of inventory levels by store and by
class, allocation of merchandise to stores and inventory
replenishment based upon information generated by our
merchandise management information systems. These systems
provide the planning department with current inventory levels at
each store and for the Company as a whole, as well as current
selling history within each store by merchandise classification
and by style. See Information Systems.
All merchandise is delivered to our distribution facility in
Anaheim, California, where it is inspected, received into our
computer system, allocated to stores, ticketed when necessary,
and boxed for distribution to our stores or packaged for
delivery to our internet customers. Each store is typically
shipped merchandise three to five times a week, providing it
with a steady flow of new merchandise. We use a national and a
regional small package carrier to ship merchandise to our stores
and internet customers. We may occasionally use airfreight to
ship merchandise to stores during peak selling periods.

Store Expansion. During fiscal 2004, we opened 113 net
new stores, which included 67 PacSun stores, 5 PacSun Outlet
stores and 41 d.e.m.o. stores. In addition, we expanded or
relocated 35 existing stores during fiscal 2004.
06 / Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc.
During fiscal 2005, we plan to open approximately 120 net new
stores, of which approximately 70 will be PacSun stores,
approximately 10 will be PacSun Outlet stores and approximately
40 will be d.e.m.o. stores, resulting in an ending total store
count of approximately 1,110 stores. We also plan to expand or
relocate approximately 35 existing smaller stores during fiscal
2005. As of the date of this filing, approximately 70% of the
leases for the approximately 120 net new stores we expect to
open in fiscal 2005 have been executed.
Our store site selection strategy is to locate our stores
primarily in high-traffic, regional malls serving markets that
meet our demographic criteria, including average household
income and population density. We also consider mall sales per
square foot, the performance of other retail tenants serving
teens and young adult customers, anchor tenants and occupancy
costs. We currently seek PacSun and PacSun Outlet store
locations of approximately 4,000 square feet and d.e.m.o. store
locations of approximately 3,000 square feet. We will begin
testing 3 large-format PacSun stores during fiscal 2005 that
will encompass approximately 7,500-9,000 square feet. For
details concerning average costs to build and stock new and
relocated stores in fiscal 2004, see Item 7,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital
Resources.
Our continued growth depends upon our ability to open and
operate stores on a profitable basis. Our ability to expand
successfully will be dependent upon a number of factors,
including sufficient demand for our merchandise in existing and
new markets, our ability to locate and obtain favorable store
sites, negotiate acceptable lease terms, obtain adequate
merchandise supply, and hire and train qualified management and
other employees.
Store Operations. Our stores are open for business during
mall shopping hours. Each store has a manager, one or more
co-managers or assistant managers, and approximately six to
twelve part-time sales associates. District managers supervise
approximately seven to twelve stores and approximately six to
ten district managers report to a regional director. District
and store managers as well as store co-managers participate in a
bonus program based on achieving predetermined levels of sales
and inventory shrinkage. We have well-established store
operating policies and procedures and an extensive in-store
training program for new store managers and co-managers. We
place great emphasis on loss prevention programs in order to
control inventory shrinkage. These programs include the
installation of electronic article surveillance systems in all
stores, education of store personnel on loss prevention, and
monitoring of returns, voids and employee sales. In each fiscal
year since fiscal 1991, we have achieved an inventory shrinkage
rate of 1.3% or less of net sales at retail, or 0.6% or less of
net sales at cost.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Our merchandise, financial and store computer systems are fully
integrated and operate using primarily IBM equipment. Our
software is regularly upgraded or modified as needs arise or
change. Our information systems provide Company management,
buyers and planners with comprehensive data that helps them
identify emerging trends and manage inventories. The systems
include purchase order management, electronic data interchange,
open order reporting, open-to-buy, receiving, distribution,
merchandise allocation, basic stock replenishment, inter-store
transfers, inventory and price management. Company management
uses weekly best/worst item sales reports to enhance the
timeliness and effectiveness of purchasing and markdown
decisions. Merchandise purchases are based on planned sales and
inventory levels and are frequently revised to reflect changes
in demand for a particular item or classification.
All of our stores have a point-of-sale system operating on IBM
in-store computer hardware. The system features bar-coded ticket
scanning, automatic price look-up, electronic check and credit
authorization and automatic nightly transmittal of data between
the store and our corporate offices. Each of the regional
directors and district managers uses a laptop computer and can
instantly access appropriate or relevant Company-wide
information, including actual and budgeted sales by store,
district and region, transaction information and payroll data.
We believe our management information systems are adequate to
support our planned expansion at least through fiscal 2005.
COMPETITION
The retail apparel, footwear and accessory business is highly
competitive. PacSun stores, PacSun Outlets and d.e.m.o. stores
compete on a national level with certain leading department
stores and national chains that offer the same or similar brands
and styles of merchandise. Our stores compete with Abercrombie
and Fitch, American Eagle
Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. / 07
Outfitters, The Gap, Aeropostale and Hot Topic as well as a wide
variety of regional and local specialty stores. Many of our
competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources
than us. We believe the principal competitive factors in our
industry are fashion, merchandise assortment, quality, price,
store location, environment and customer service.
TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
We are the owner in the United States of the marks Pacific
Sunwear of California, PacSun, Pacific
Sunwear, and d.e.m.o. We also use and have
registered, or have a pending registration on, a number of other
marks. We have also registered many of our marks outside of the
United States. We believe our rights in our marks are important
to our business and intend to maintain our marks and the related
registrations.
SEASONALITY
For details concerning the seasonality of our business, see
Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Seasonality
and Quarterly Results.
WORKING CAPITAL CONCENTRATION
A significant portion of our working capital is related to
finished goods inventory available for sale to customers as well
as in our distribution center. For details concerning working
capital and the merchandising risk associated with our
inventories, see Working Capital and Risk
Factors within Item 7, Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
EMPLOYEES
At the end of fiscal 2004, we had approximately 13,700
employees, of whom approximately 9,800 were part-time. Of the
total employees, approximately 500 were employed at our
corporate headquarters and distribution center. A significant
number of seasonal employees are hired during peak selling
periods. None of our employees are represented by a labor union,
and we believe that our relationships with our employees are
good.

capable of servicing our operational needs through fiscal 2007.

new, additional corporate office and a new, additional
distribution center before the end of fiscal 2007. We have
initiated planning efforts to assess these future needs.

initial terms ranging from approximately eight to ten years that
expire at various dates through December 2018 (see Note 7
to the consolidated financial statements).

|
| Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
During fiscal 2003, we reached an agreement to settle all claims
related to two lawsuits concerning overtime pay for a total of
$4.0 million. The suits were Auden v. Pacific Sunwear
of California, Inc., which was filed September 17, 2001,
and Adams v. Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc., which was
filed November 1, 2002. The complaints alleged that we
improperly classified certain California-based employees as
exempt from overtime pay. In fiscal 2004, we paid
substantially all amounts due pursuant to the terms of the
settlement agreement, which had been primarily accrued for
during fiscal 2002. Accordingly, the settlement did not have a
material impact on our results of operations for fiscal 2004 or
2003.
We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to
our business. We believe that the outcome of current litigation
will not likely have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations or financial condition.
