PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
The Mens Wearhouse began operations in 1973 as a partnership and was incorporated as The
Mens Wearhouse, Inc. (the Company) under the laws of Texas in May 1974. Our principal corporate
and executive offices are located at 6380 Rogerdale Road, Houston, Texas 77072-1624 (telephone
number 281/776-7000) and at 40650 Encyclopedia Circle, Fremont, California 94538-2453 (telephone
number 510/657-9821), respectively. Unless the context otherwise requires, Company, we, us
and our refer to The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company
We are one of the largest specialty retailers of mens suits and the largest provider of
tuxedo rental product in the United States and Canada. At January 30, 2010, we operated 1,259
retail stores, with 1,142 stores in the United States and 117 stores in Canada. Our U.S. retail
stores are operated under the brand names of Mens Wearhouse (581 stores), Mens Wearhouse and Tux
(454 stores) and K&G (107 stores) in 47 states and the District of Columbia. Our Canadian stores
are operated under the brand name of Moores Clothing for Men in ten provinces. The Mens Wearhouse
and Tux stores formerly operated under the brand name of MW Tux and were renamed during the first
quarter of 2009 to Mens Wearhouse and Tux.
We also operate a corporate apparel and uniform program (operated as Twin Hill) and, in the
Houston, Texas area, a retail dry cleaning and laundry business (operated as MW Cleaners). To
date, these operations have not had a significant effect on the revenues or expenses of the
Company.
During fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, we generated total net sales of $1,909.6 million,
$1,972.4 million and $2,112.6 million, respectively, and net earnings of $45.5 million, $58.8
million and $147.0 million, respectively. Below is a brief description of our retail brands.

Table of Contents
Mens Wearhouse/Mens Wearhouse and Tux
Under the Mens Wearhouse brand, we target middle and upper-middle income men by providing a
superior level of customer service and offering quality merchandise, including a broad selection of
designer, brand name and private label merchandise and big and tall product, at regular and sale
prices we believe are competitive with traditional department stores. Our merchandise includes
suits, suit separates, sport coats, slacks, formalwear, business casual, sportswear, outerwear,
dress shirts, shoes and accessories. We concentrate on mens wear-to-work business attire that
is characterized by infrequent and more predictable fashion changes. Therefore, we believe we are
not as exposed to trends typical of more fashion-forward apparel retailers, where significant
markdowns to move out-of-style merchandise are more common. However, this concentration in
wear-to-work business attire is impacted by macroeconomic trends, particularly employment levels.
At January 30, 2010, we operated 581 Mens Wearhouse apparel stores in 47 states and the
District of Columbia. These stores are referred to as Mens Wearhouse stores or traditional
stores and are mainly located in middle and upper-middle income regional strip and specialty
retail shopping centers. These stores, in substantially all locations, also offer a full selection
of tuxedo rental product. We believe our tuxedo rental program broadens our customer base by
drawing first-time and younger customers into our stores. We believe this in turn generates
opportunities for incremental apparel sales by introducing these customers to the quality
merchandise selection and superior level of customer service at our traditional stores. To further
accommodate these younger tuxedo rental customers, in 2009, we expanded a merchandise assortment
including suit separates, dress shirts and ties targeted towards a younger customer into our
traditional stores.
At January 30, 2010, we also operated another 454 stores in 38 states branded as Mens
Wearhouse and Tux that offer a full selection of tuxedo rental product and a limited selection
(expanded in 2009) of retail merchandise, including formalwear and suit separates, dress shirts and
ties targeted towards a younger customer. These stores, referred to as rental stores, are smaller
than our traditional stores and are located primarily in regional malls and lifestyle centers.
These stores were acquired in 2007 or opened subsequently and operated under the brand name of MW
Tux from the fourth quarter of 2007 until the first quarter of 2009 when they were renamed Mens
Wearhouse and Tux. Of the 454 rental stores open at January 30, 2010, 216 stores were located in
close proximity (one mile or less) to one of our traditional stores.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment
charges of $19.5 million, of which $14.4 million related to store assets for 145 of the Mens
Wearhouse and Tux stores. The impairment of the assets for these 145 rental stores was a result
primarily of a consumer driven shifting of our tuxedo rental revenues from the rental stores to
Mens Wearhouse stores located in close proximity to the rental stores. A decision was made to
introduce an expanded selection of clothing product for sale in these rental stores during 2009 and
to rebrand the stores to Mens Wearhouse and Tux in the first quarter of 2009. It was expected
that these actions would diminish or possibly reverse the trend of shifting rental sales to our
traditional stores. Although clothing sales did increase significantly for the rental stores, the
trend of rental revenue shifting to near-by Mens Wearhouse stores continued and a non-cash asset
impairment charge of $14.4 million was required. We plan to close approximately 45 of the rental
stores in the next 13 months as their lease terms expire, as well as approximately 20 additional
rental stores if acceptable lease termination arrangements can be established.
Our Mens Wearhouse and Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores accounted for 67.1% of our total net
sales in fiscal 2009, 67.0% in fiscal 2008 and 66.9% in fiscal 2007.

K&G
Under the K&G brand, we target the more price sensitive customer. At January 30, 2010, we
operated 107 K&G stores in 28 states. Ninety-four of the K&G stores offer ladies career apparel,
sportswear and accessories, including shoes, that is also targeted to the more price sensitive
customer.
We believe that K&Gs more value-oriented superstore approach appeals to certain customers in
the apparel market. K&G offers first-quality, current-season apparel and accessories comparable in
quality to that of traditional department stores, at everyday low prices we believe are typically
up to 60% below the regular prices charged by such stores. K&Gs merchandising strategy emphasizes
broad assortments across all major categories, including tailored clothing, casual sportswear,
dress furnishings, childrens clothing, footwear and accessories. This merchandise selection,
which includes brand name as well as private label merchandise, positions K&G to attract a wide
range of customers in each of its markets.
In fiscal 2009, we modified the store layout for 80 of the 107 K&G stores with a new look and
improved customer navigation at a minimal cost per store. Additionally, we modified the product
assortments and merchandise content in our K&G stores to be more fashion and trend-oriented and to
better match the customers demographic profiles. In fiscal 2010, we are planning to increase the
ladies assortment of merchandise in 44 of the 107 K&G stores and to introduce a limited assortment
of deeply discounted European luxury brand merchandise in certain K&G stores.
During fiscal 2009, we recognized a pretax non-cash asset impairment charge of $5.1 million
related to store assets for 12 K&G stores. The asset impairment charge was a result primarily of
sales declines at these stores caused by the recessionary trend of the U.S. economy. We expect to
close at least five of these stores in the next 13 months at their lease end or kick-out date.
Our K&G stores accounted for 19.4% of our total net sales in fiscal 2009, 19.1% in fiscal 2008
and 19.3% in fiscal 2007.
Moores
Moores is one of Canadas leading specialty retailers of mens suits, with 117 retail apparel
stores in 10 Canadian provinces at January 30, 2010. Similar to the Mens Wearhouse stores, Moores
stores offer a broad selection of quality merchandise, including big and tall products, at
regular and sale prices we believe are competitive with traditional Canadian department stores.
Moores focuses on basic tailored wear-to-work apparel that we believe limits exposure to changes
in fashion trends and the need for significant markdowns. However, similar to the Mens Wearhouse
stores, this concentration in wear-to-work business attire is impacted by macroeconomic trends,
particularly employment levels. Moores merchandise consists of suits, sport coats, slacks,
business casual, dress shirts, sportswear, outerwear, shoes and accessories.
We also offer tuxedo rentals at all of our Moores stores, which we believe broadens our
customer base by drawing first-time and younger customers into our stores. To further accommodate
these younger tuxedo rental customers, in 2009, we expanded suit separates, dress shirts and ties
targeted towards a younger customer into our Moores stores.
Our Moores stores accounted for 11.6% of our total net sales in fiscal 2009, 11.7% in fiscal
2008 and 11.8% in fiscal 2007.

Expansion Strategy
Our expansion strategy includes:
| opening a limited number of apparel stores in new and existing markets, | ||
| expanding our e-commerce business, | ||
| increasing the ladies assortment being offered at a number of our K&G stores, | ||
| expanding our corporate apparel and uniform program, | ||
| identifying potential opportunities in international markets, and | ||
| identifying potential acquisition opportunities created by the current economic conditions. |
In general terms, we consider a geographic area served by a common group of television
stations as a single market.
At present, we believe that our ability to increase the number of traditional Mens Wearhouse
stores in the United States above 600 will be limited. However, we believe that additional growth
opportunities exist through continuing the diversification of our merchandise mix, continuing our
promotional strategies, relocating existing stores and adding complementary products and services.
We believe the expansion of our retail merchandise selection to include suit separates, dress
shirts and ties targeted towards a younger customer, which we began in 2009, will continue to
generate opportunities for incremental apparel sales by introducing younger customers to the
quality merchandise selection and superior level of customer service associated with our stores.
We plan to focus on achieving a significant increase in our e-commerce business during fiscal
2010 and intend to increase our online media and marketing spending. We will expand the breadth
and depth of our MensWearhouse.com online product offerings, including web-only and non-tailored
merchandise, and we will launch a new e-commerce enabled site for K&G in the third quarter 2010.
We intend to continue to focus on improving our site functionality and conversion rate through
staffing, technology and development partnerships. In addition, our database marketing efforts
will be more concentrated on online opportunities. We believe these parallel efforts will
contribute to enhanced growth in our e-commerce business for fiscal 2010 and future years as well.
In fiscal 2010, we are planning to increase the ladies assortment of merchandise in 44 of the
107 K&G stores and to introduce a limited assortment of deeply discounted European luxury brand
merchandise in certain K&G stores.
We plan to continue to pursue our corporate apparel and uniform program in 2010 with an
expanded sales force and the introduction of an expanded catalog featuring our corporate apparel
for new and existing customers workforces. We also plan to open one additional retail dry
cleaning and laundry facility in the Houston, Texas area during 2010.
Merchandising
Our apparel stores offer a broad selection of designer, brand name and private label mens
business attire, including a consistent stock of core items (such as basic suits, navy blazers and
tuxedos) and a significant selection of big and tall product. Although basic styles are
emphasized, each seasons merchandise reflects current fabric, fit and color trends, and a smaller
percentage of inventory is more fashion oriented. The broad merchandise selection creates
increased sales opportunities by permitting a customer to purchase substantially all of his
tailored wardrobe and accessory requirements, including shoes, at our apparel stores. Within our
tailored clothing, we offer an assortment of styles from a variety of manufacturers and maintain a
broad selection of fabrics, colors and sizes. Based on the experience and expertise of our
management, we believe that the depth of selection offered provides us with an advantage over most
of our competitors.

Table of Contents
The Companys inventory mix includes business casual merchandise designed to meet demand for
such products resulting from more relaxed dress codes in the workplace. This merchandise consists
of tailored and non-tailored clothing (sport coats, casual slacks, knits and woven sports shirts,
sweaters and casual shoes) that complements the existing product mix and provides opportunity for
enhanced sales without significant inventory risk. To further accommodate our younger tuxedo
rental customers, in 2009, we introduced suit separates, dress shirts and ties targeted towards a
younger customer into our Mens Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and Tux and Moores stores.
We do not purchase significant quantities of merchandise overruns or close-outs. We provide
recognizable quality merchandise at prices that assist the customer in identifying the value
available at our apparel stores. We believe that the merchandise at Mens Wearhouse and Moores
stores, before consideration of promotional discounts, is generally offered at regular and sale
prices that are competitive with traditional department stores and that merchandise at K&G stores
is generally up to 60% below regular retail prices charged by such stores.
By targeting mens business attire, a category of mens clothing characterized by infrequent
and more predictable fashion changes, we believe we are not as exposed to trends typical of more
fashion-forward apparel retailers. This allows us to carry basic merchandise over to the following
season and reduces the need for markdowns; for example, a navy blazer or gray business suit may be
carried over to the next season. Our Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores have an annual sale that
starts around Christmas and runs through the month of January, during which prices on many items
are reduced 20% to 50% off the everyday low prices. This sale reduces stock at year-end and
prepares for the arrival of the new seasons merchandise. We also have a similar event in
mid-summer; however, the level of advertising for promotion of the summer event is lower than that
for the year-end event. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and throughout fiscal 2009, we
began offering selected merchandise at deeper discounts including buy one get one free offers.
We believe this approach, which will be extended into fiscal 2010, allows us to offer our customers
excellent value while still maintaining adequate margins and remaining competitive in the current
economic environment.
During 2009, 2008 and 2007, 56.0%, 54.6% and 54.1%, respectively, of our total mens net
clothing product sales were attributable to tailored clothing (suits, sport coats and slacks) and
44.0%, 45.4% and 45.9%, respectively, were attributable to casual attire, sportswear, shoes,
shirts, ties, outerwear and other clothing product sales.
In addition to accepting cash, checks, nationally recognized credit cards and gift cards, we
offer our own private label credit card to Mens Wearhouse customers. A third-party vendor
provides all necessary servicing and processing and assumes all credit risks associated with the
private label credit card program. All purchases made with the private label credit card at Mens
Wearhouse stores received a 5% discount at the time of purchase until March 2009, when the 5%
discount was discontinued. During 2009, private label credit card sales represented approximately
2% of sales at Mens Wearhouse stores.
We also offer our Perfect Fit loyalty program to our Mens Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and
Tux and Moores customers. Under the loyalty program, customers receive points for purchases.
Points are equivalent to dollars spent on a one-for-one basis, excluding any sales tax dollars.
Upon reaching 500 points, customers are issued a $50 rewards certificate which they may use to make
purchases at Mens Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and Tux or Moores stores. We believe that the
loyalty program facilitates our ability to cultivate long-term relationships with our customers.
All customers who register for our Perfect Fit loyalty program are eligible to participate and
earn points for purchases. Approximately 80% of sales transactions at our Mens Wearhouse, Mens
Wearhouse and Tux and Moores stores were to customers who participated in the loyalty program in
2009.
Customer Service and Marketing
The Mens Wearhouse and Moores sales personnel are trained as clothing consultants to provide
customers with assistance and advice on their apparel needs, including product style, color
coordination, fabric choice and garment fit. For example, many clothing consultants at Mens
Wearhouse stores attend an intensive training program at our training facility in Fremont,
California, which is further supplemented with store meetings, in-market training programs and
frequent interaction with all levels of store management.
We encourage our clothing consultants to be friendly and knowledgeable and to promptly greet
each customer entering the store. Consultants are encouraged to offer guidance to the customer at
each stage of the decision-making process, making every effort to earn the customers confidence
and to create a professional relationship that will continue beyond the initial visit. Clothing
consultants are also encouraged to contact customers after the purchase or pick-up of tailored
clothing to determine whether customers are satisfied with their purchases and, if
necessary, to take corrective action. Store management as well as Mens Wearhouse customer
services

Table of Contents
representatives operating from our corporate offices have full authority to respond to
customer complaints and reasonable requests, including the approval of returns, exchanges, refunds,
re-alterations and other special requests, all of which we believe helps promote customer
satisfaction and loyalty.
K&G stores are designed to allow customers to select and purchase apparel by themselves. For
example, each merchandise category is clearly marked and organized by size, and suits are
specifically tagged Athletic Fit, Double-Breasted, Three Button, etc., as a means of further
assisting customers to easily select their styles and sizes. K&G employees are also available to
assist customers with merchandise selection, including correct sizing.
Each of our apparel stores provides on-site tailoring services to facilitate timely
alterations at a reasonable cost to customers. Tailored clothing purchased at a Mens Wearhouse
store will be pressed and re-altered (if the alterations were performed at a Mens Wearhouse store)
free of charge for the life of the garment.
Because management believes that men prefer direct and easy store access, we attempt to locate
our apparel stores in regional strip and specialty retail centers or in freestanding buildings to
enable customers to park near the entrance of the store.
Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores are generally smaller than our traditional stores and offer a
full selection of tuxedo rental product as well as a limited assortment of retail merchandise. In
fiscal 2009, we expanded the retail merchandise offerings, which include retail formalwear, and
introduced suit separates, dress shirts and ties targeted towards a younger customer into our Mens
Wearhouse and Tux stores. These stores are staffed to facilitate the tuxedo rental and retail
sales process and are primarily located in regional malls and lifestyle centers.
The Company entered into a marketing agreement with Davids Bridal, Inc., the nations largest
bridal retailer, in connection with the acquisition of the rental stores in fiscal 2007. As a
result, we have a preferred relationship with Davids Bridal, Inc. with respect to our rental
operations.
Our total annual advertising expenditures were $82.0 million, $77.0 million and $73.8 million
in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Companys advertising strategy primarily consists of
television, radio, direct mail, email, online and bridal shows. We consider our integrated efforts
across these channels to be the most effective means of both attracting and reaching potential new
customers, as well as reinforcing our positive attributes for our various brands with our existing
customer base.
Purchasing and Distribution
We purchase merchandise and tuxedo rental product from approximately 900 vendors. In 2009,
one vendor accounted for 11% of our total purchases; no other vendor accounted for 10% or more of
our purchases. Management does not believe that the loss of any vendor would significantly impact
us. While we have no material long-term contracts with our vendors, we believe that we have
developed an excellent relationship with our vendors, which is supported by consistent purchasing
practices.
We believe we obtain favorable buying opportunities relative to many of our competitors. We
do not request cooperative advertising support from manufacturers, which reduces the manufacturers
costs of doing business with us and enables them to offer us lower prices. Further, we believe we
obtain better discounts by entering into purchase arrangements that provide for limited return
policies, although we always retain the right to return goods that are damaged upon receipt or
determined to be improperly manufactured. Finally, volume purchasing of specifically planned
quantities well in advance of the season enables more efficient production runs by manufacturers
who, in turn, generally pass some of the cost savings back to us.
Direct Sourcing
We purchased approximately 23% and 40% of total U.S. and Canada clothing product purchases,
respectively, in 2009 through our direct sourcing program. In 2008, we purchased approximately 31%
and 51% of total U.S. and Canada clothing product purchases, respectively, through our direct
sourcing program. In 2007, we purchased approximately 38% and 60% of total U.S. and Canada
clothing product purchases, respectively, through our direct sourcing program. We have no long-term
merchandise supply contracts and typically transact business on a purchase order-by-purchase order
basis either directly with manufacturers and fabric mills or with trading companies. In 2009, we
worked with 38 manufacturers and fabric mills that supplied 57% of our direct sourced merchandise.
We have developed long-term and reliable relationships with over half of our direct manufacturers
and fabric mills,
which we believe provides stability, quality and price leverage. In 2009, we also worked with
69 trading companies that supported our relationships with vendors for approximately 43% of our
direct sourced merchandise.
7
Table of Contents
These 107 vendors that comprise our direct sourcing base operate 102 factories in 17
countries, with 68% of our direct sourced merchandise supplied by our top 10 vendors. Each of our
top 10 direct sourcing vendors uses a limited number of factories to produce its merchandise, which
we believe gives us a high degree of consistency and price leverage in placing production of our
merchandise. We believe we have developed strong relationships with our vendors, most of which rely
upon us for a significant portion of their business.
We have three exclusive contract agent offices that provide administrative functions for our
manufacturing system as well as communication functions on our behalf to the vendors. In addition,
the agent offices provide all quality control inspections and ensure that our operating procedures
manuals are adhered to by our suppliers.
During 2009, 80% of our direct sourced merchandise was sourced in Asia (75% from China,
Indonesia and India) while 15% was sourced in Mexico and 5% was sourced in Europe and other
regions. All of our foreign purchases are negotiated and paid for in U.S. dollars, except purchases
from Italy which are negotiated and paid for in Euros.
Approximately 98% of our direct sourced merchandise from abroad is shipped in containers via
ocean vessel and generally takes 20 to 25 days in transit. The remainder of our merchandise from
abroad is shipped via air, which takes on average 5 to 7 days in transit. The containers are
shipped directly to U.S. and Canadian ports and are then transported by a combination of rail and
truck to our distribution center in Houston for U.S. merchandise or Montreal for Canadian
merchandise.
All direct source vendors are expected to adhere to our compliance program. The compliance
program consists of two parts: Mens Wearhouse Standards and Business Practices Guidelines and U.S.
Customs and Border Protections C-TPAT program. The general principles of our Standards and
Business Practices Guidelines as it relates to international sourcing and vendor compliance include
a commitment to legal compliance and ethical business practices in all of our operations and
utilization of suppliers that we believe operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations, including those related to labor, worker health and safety and the environment.
Suppliers must inform workers about these workplace standards through education and posting of the
standards in a prominent place. We also recognize the need to protect our international movement
of goods from potential acts of terrorism. The C-TPAT program with security guidelines for each
segment of the international supply chain protects our goods through the international supply chain
as well as the welfare of U.S. citizens. To oversee compliance, we have a direct sourcing
compliance department with a staff of four employees. In addition, we use the services of an
outside audit company to conduct frequent unannounced and announced vendor audits.
We expect that purchases through the direct sourcing program will represent approximately 25%
and 38% of total U.S. and Canada purchases, respectively, in 2010.
Distribution
All retail apparel merchandise for Mens Wearhouse stores is received into our distribution
center located in Houston, Texas, where it is either placed in back-stock or allocated to and
picked by store and then moved to the appropriate staging area for shipping. In addition to the
Houston distribution center, we have separate hub facilities or space within certain Mens
Wearhouse stores in the majority of our markets, which function as redistribution facilities for
their respective areas. Approximately 45% of purchased merchandise is transported to our K&G
stores from our Houston distribution center; all other merchandise is direct shipped by vendors to
the stores. We anticipate that we will continue to distribute merchandise to our K&G stores using
a combination of our Houston distribution center and direct shipment from vendors. Most purchased
merchandise for our Moores stores is distributed to the stores from our distribution center in
Montreal.

Table of Contents
Our tuxedo rental product is located in our Houston distribution center and in 10 additional
distribution facilities located in the U.S. (9) and Canada (1). The 10 additional distribution
facilities also receive limited quantities of retail product, primarily formalwear accessories,
that is sold in our Mens Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and Tux and Moores stores.
All retail merchandise and new tuxedo rental product is transported from vendors to our
distribution facilities via common carrier or on a dedicated fleet of long-haul vehicles owned and
operated by a third party. This dedicated fleet of 44 trailers is specifically equipped for
garments-on-hangers such as suits, sport coats and tuxedo rental product and is used to transport
such product from our Houston distribution center to the hub facilities. Tuxedo rental product is
transported from our 9 additional U.S. distribution facilities to the hub facilities via a fleet of
231 leased or owned smaller van-like or box trucks. These smaller vehicles are also used to
transport tuxedo rental product and retail merchandise from the hub facilities to our stores within
a given geographic region.
In addition, we own or lease 48 smaller van-like trucks that are used to deliver laundry and
dry cleaning to our Houston area laundry/dry cleaning customers.
Competition
Our primary competitors include specialty mens clothing stores, traditional department
stores, off-price retailers, manufacturer-owned and independently-owned outlet stores and their
e-commerce channels and independently owned tuxedo rental stores. We believe that the principal
competitive factors in the menswear market are merchandise assortment, quality, price, garment fit,
merchandise presentation, store location and customer service, including on-site tailoring.
We believe that strong vendor relationships, our direct sourcing program and our buying
volumes and patterns are the principal factors enabling us to obtain quality merchandise at
attractive prices. We believe that our vendors rely on our predictable payment record and history
of honoring promises. Certain of our competitors (principally department stores) may be larger and
may have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have and therefore
may have certain competitive advantages.
Seasonality
Our sales and net earnings are subject to seasonal fluctuations. In most years, a greater
portion of our net retail clothing sales have been generated during the fourth quarter of each year
when holiday season shopping peaks. In addition, our tuxedo rental revenues are heavily
concentrated in the second quarter while the fourth quarter is considered the seasonal low point.
Because of the seasonality of our sales, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be achieved for the full year (see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
Trademarks and Servicemarks
We are the owner in the United States and selected other countries of the trademark and
service mark The Mens Wearhouse®, and MW Mens Wearhouse (and design)® and Mens Wearhouse®
and of federal registrations therefor. Our rights in the The Mens Wearhouse®, MW Mens
Wearhouse (and design)®, and Mens Wearhouse® marks are a significant part of our business, as
the marks have become well known through our use of the marks in connection with our retail
services and products by and through our stores, and our television, radio and print advertising
campaigns. Accordingly, we intend to maintain our marks and the related registrations.
We have entered into license agreements with a limited number of parties under which we are
entitled to use designer labels in return for royalties paid to the licensor based on the costs of
the relevant product. These license agreements generally limit the use of the individual label to
products of a specific nature (such as mens suits, mens formalwear or mens shirts). The labels
licensed under these agreements will continue to be used in connection with a portion of the
purchases under the direct sourcing program described above, as well as purchases from other
vendors. We monitor the performance of these licensed labels compared to their cost and may elect
to selectively terminate any license, as provided in the respective agreement. We also own several
trademarks, including Joseph & Feiss®, Pronto Uomo®, Linea
Uomo®, and Twinhill®, which are used similarly to our licensed labels. We
may be presented with opportunities to acquire or license other designer or nationally recognized
brand labels.
We are also the owner in the United States of the service marks MW CUSTOM®, as well a logo
incorporating MW CUSTOM® to identify manufacturing clothing to the order and/or specification of
others.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We wish to caution you that there are risks and uncertainties that could affect our business.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described below and
elsewhere in this report, particularly found in Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements. The
following is not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties, as
it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors.
Our business is particularly sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence, which have
been at depressed levels.
During most of 2009, the U.S. and global financial and equity markets continued to reflect
recessionary trends, including tighter credit and lower levels of consumer confidence, consumer
spending and business activity in general, as well as high levels of unemployment. We believe that
these depressed market conditions affect us more than other retailers because discretionary
spending for items like mens tailored apparel tends to slow sooner and to recover later than that
for other retail purchases. We do not know if or when these depressed market conditions are likely
to show significant improvement, and a sustained continuation or worsening of such conditions could
intensify the adverse effect of such conditions on our revenues and operating results.
Our business is subject to numerous, varied and changing laws, rules and regulations, the interpretation of which
can be uncertain and which may lead to litigation or administrative proceedings.
The sale of goods at retail is subject to laws, rules and regulations promulgated by national, state and
provincial authorities, including laws, rules and regulations relating to privacy, use of consumer information,
credit cards and advertising. These laws, rules and regulations and the interpretation thereof are subject to change
and often application thereof may be unclear. As a result, from time to time, the Company is subject to litigation,
including class action lawsuits, and administrative actions related to compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.
Our ability to continue to expand our Mens Wearhouse stores may be limited.
A large part of our growth has resulted from the addition of new Mens Wearhouse stores and
the increased sales volume and profitability provided by these stores. We will continue to depend
on adding new stores to increase our sales volume and profitability. As of January 30, 2010, we
operate 581 Mens Wearhouse stores. However, we believe that our ability to increase the number of
Mens Wearhouse stores in the United States above 600 will be limited. Therefore, we may not be
able to achieve the same rate of growth as we have historically.
Certain of our expansion strategies may present greater risks.
We are continuously assessing opportunities to expand complementary products and services
related to our traditional business, such as corporate apparel and uniform sales. We may expend
both capital and personnel resources on such business opportunities which may or may not be
successful.
Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute
shareholder value and harm our operating results.
In the event we complete one or more acquisitions, we may be subject to a variety of risks,
including risks associated with an ability to integrate acquired assets or operations into our
existing operations, higher costs or unexpected difficulties or problems with acquired assets or
entities, outdated or incompatible technologies, labor difficulties or an inability to realize
anticipated synergies and efficiencies, whether within anticipated time frames or at all. If one
or more of these risks are realized, it could have an adverse impact on our operating results.
Our business is seasonal.
In most years, a greater portion of our net retail clothing sales have been generated during
the fourth quarter of each year when holiday season shopping peaks. In addition, our tuxedo
rental revenues are heavily concentrated in the second quarter while the fourth quarter is
considered the seasonal low point. Because of the seasonality of our sales, results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. Any
decrease in sales during these peak quarters could have a significant adverse effect on our net
earnings.

Table of Contents
A tightening of credit markets could impede our ability to renew or increase our current credit
facility.
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a group of banks, which was last amended on
February 2, 2007, provides for a total senior secured revolving credit facility of $200.0 million,
which can be expanded to $250.0 million upon additional lender commitments, that matures on
February 11, 2012. A tightening of credit market conditions could impede our ability to renew or
increase our credit facility
The loss of, or disruption in, our Houston distribution center could result in delays in the
delivery of merchandise to our stores.
All retail apparel merchandise for Mens Wearhouse stores and a significant portion of the
merchandise for K&G stores is received into our Houston distribution center, where the inventory is
then processed, sorted and either placed in back-stock or shipped to our stores. We depend in
large part 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 center.
Events, such as disruptions in operations due to fire or other catastrophic events, employee
matters or shipping problems, may result in delays in the delivery of merchandise to our stores.
For example, given our proximity to the Texas gulf coast, it is possible that a hurricane or
tropical storm could cause damage to the distribution center, result in extended power outages or
flood roadways into and around the distribution center, any of which would disrupt or delay
deliveries to the distribution center and to our stores.
Although we maintain business interruption and property insurance, we cannot assure that our
insurance will be sufficient, or that insurance proceeds will be paid timely to us, in the event
our Houston distribution center is shut down for any reason or if we incur higher costs and longer
lead times in connection with a disruption at our distribution center.
Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile due to many factors.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and may change rapidly in the
future depending on news announcements and changes in general market conditions. The following
factors, among others, may cause significant fluctuations in our stock price:
| news announcements regarding quarterly or annual results of operations, | ||
| comparable store sales announcements, | ||
| acquisitions, | ||
| competitive developments, | ||
| litigation affecting the Company, or | ||
| market views as to the prospects of the economy or the retail industry generally. |
Rights of our shareholders may be negatively affected if we issue any of the shares of preferred
stock which our Board of Directors has authorized for issuance.
We have available for issuance 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue any or all of this preferred stock, in one or more
series, without any further action on the part of shareholders. The rights of our shareholders may
be negatively affected if we issue a series of preferred stock in the future that has preference
over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution upon our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for more information.

Table of Contents
Our success significantly depends on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain
additional personnel.
Mr. George Zimmer has been very important to our success. Mr. Zimmer is the Companys Chairman
of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and primary advertising spokesman. The loss of Mr. Zimmers
services could have a material adverse effect on the securities markets view of our prospects.
Also, our continued success and the achievement of our expansion goals are dependent upon our
ability to attract and retain additional qualified employees as we expand.
Fluctuations in exchange rates may cause us to experience currency exchange losses.
Moores conducts most of its business in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate between Canadian
dollars and U.S. dollars has fluctuated historically. If the value of the Canadian dollar against
the U.S. dollar weakens, then the revenues and earnings of our Canadian operations will be reduced
when they are translated to U.S. dollars. Also, the value of our Canadian net assets in U.S.
dollars may decline.
We are subject to import risks, including potential disruptions in supply, changes in duties,
tariffs, quotas and voluntary export restrictions on imported merchandise, strikes and other events
affecting delivery; and economic, political or other problems in countries from or through which
merchandise is imported.
Many of the products sold in our stores are sourced from many foreign countries. Political or
financial instability, terrorism, trade restrictions, tariffs, currency exchange rates, transport
capacity limitations, disruptions and costs, strikes and other work stoppages and other factors
relating to international trade are beyond our control and could affect the availability and the
price of our inventory.
If we are unable to operate information systems and implement new technologies effectively, our
business could be disrupted or our sales or profitability could be reduced.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our information systems, including our
ability to operate them effectively and successfully to implement new technologies, systems,
controls and adequate disaster recovery systems. In addition, we must protect the confidentiality
of our and our customers data. The failure of our information systems to perform as designed or
our failure to implement and operate them effectively could disrupt our business or subject us to
liability and thereby harm our profitability.

Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores vary in size from approximately 3,100 to 15,100 total square
feet (average square footage at January 30, 2010 was 5,758 square feet with 71% of stores having
between 4,500 and 6,500 square feet). Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores are primarily located in
middle and upper-middle income regional strip and specialty retail shopping centers. We believe
our customers generally prefer to limit the amount of time they spend shopping for menswear and
seek easily accessible store sites.
Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores are designed to further our strategy of facilitating sales
while making the shopping experience pleasurable. We attempt to create a specialty store
atmosphere through effective merchandise presentation and sizing, attractive in-store signs and
efficient checkout procedures. Most of these stores have similar floor plans and merchandise
presentation to facilitate the shopping experience and sales process. Designer, brand name and
private label garments are intermixed, and emphasis is placed on the fit of the garment rather than
on a particular label or manufacturer. Each store is staffed with clothing consultants and sales
associates and has a tailoring facility with at least one tailor. Each store is also staffed with
an operations manager or other tuxedo rental specialist to facilitate the tuxedo rental process and
enhance the customers experience in our store.
Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores vary in size from approximately 600 to 4,800 total square feet
(average square footage at January 30, 2010 was 1,373 square feet with 85% of stores having between
1,000 and 4,000 square feet). Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores are generally smaller than our
traditional stores and offer a full selection of tuxedo rental product as well as a limited
assortment of retail merchandise. These stores are staffed to facilitate the tuxedo rental process
and are primarily located in regional malls and lifestyle centers.
K&G stores vary in size from approximately 5,400 to 42,000 total square feet (average square
footage at January 30, 2010 was 23,137 square feet with 64% of stores having between 15,000 and
25,000 square feet). K&G stores are destination stores located primarily in second generation
strip shopping centers that are easily accessible from major highways and thoroughfares. K&G has
created a 20,000 to 25,000 square foot prototype mens and ladies superstore with fitting rooms
and convenient check-out, customer service and tailoring areas. K&G stores are organized to convey
the impression of a dominant assortment of first-quality merchandise and to project a no-frills,
value-oriented warehouse atmosphere. Each element of store layout and merchandise presentation is
designed to reinforce K&Gs strategy of providing a large selection and assortment in each
category. We seek to make K&G stores customer friendly by utilizing store signage and grouping
merchandise by categories and sizes, with brand name and private label merchandise intermixed.
Each store is typically staffed with a manager, assistant manager and other employees who serve as
customer service and sales personnel and cashiers. Each store also has a tailoring facility with
at least one tailor.
In fiscal 2009, we modified the store layout for 80 of the 107 K&G stores with a new look and
improved customer navigation at a minimal cost per store. Additionally, we modified the product
assortments and merchandise content in our K&G stores to be more fashion and trend-oriented and to
better match the customers demographic profiles. In fiscal 2010, we are planning to increase the
ladies assortment of merchandise in 44 of the 107 K&G stores and to introduce a limited assortment
of deeply discounted European luxury brand merchandise in certain K&G stores.

Table of Contents
We lease our stores on terms generally from five to ten years with renewal options at higher
fixed rates in most cases. Leases typically provide for percentage rent over sales break points.
Additionally, most leases provide for a base rent as well as triple net charges, including but
not limited to common area maintenance expenses, property taxes, utilities, center promotions and
insurance. In certain markets, we lease between 3,000 and 30,300 additional square feet as a part
of a Mens Wearhouse store or in a separate hub warehouse unit to be utilized as a redistribution
facility in that geographic area.
We own or lease properties in various parts of the U.S. and Canada to facilitate the
distribution of retail and rental product to our stores. In addition, we have primary office
locations in Houston, Texas and Fremont, California with additional satellite offices in other
parts of the U.S. and Canada. The following is a listing of all owned and leased non-store
facilities as of January 30, 2010:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 8, 2009, the Company was named in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The case
is styled Material Yard Workers Local 1175 Benefit Funds, et al. v. The Mens Wearhouse, Inc., Case
No. 4:09-cv-03265. The class period alleged in the complaint runs from March 7, 2007 to January 9,
2008. The primary allegations are that the Company issued false and misleading press releases
regarding its guidance for fiscal year 2007 on various occasions during the alleged class period.
The complaint seeks damages based on the decline in the Companys stock price following the
announcement of lowered guidance on Oct. 10, 2007, Nov. 28, 2007, and Jan. 9, 2008. The case is in
its early stages and discovery has not begun. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit
and intends to mount a vigorous defense; we are unable to determine the likely outcome at this
time.
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental
to the conduct of our business. Management believes that none of these matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. is a specialty apparel retailer offering suits, suit separates,
sport coats, pants, shoes, shirts, sportswear, outerwear and accessories for men and tuxedo
rentals. We offer our products and services through multiple channels including The Mens
Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and Tux, K&G, Moores Clothing for Men and on the internet at
www.menswearhouse.com. Our stores are located throughout the United States and Canada and carry a
wide selection of brand name and private label merchandise. In addition, we offer our customers a
variety of services, including alterations and our loyalty program, and most of our K&G stores
offer ladies career apparel.
Overview
We had revenues of $1,909.6 million and net earnings of $45.5 million in fiscal 2009, compared
to revenues of $1,972.4 million and net earnings of $58.8 million in fiscal 2008 and revenues of
$2,112.6 million and net earnings of $147.0 million in fiscal 2007. A depressed economic and
retail environment continued in fiscal 2009 with high unemployment, tight credit conditions and low
consumer confidence negatively impacting consumer spending during the year. In response to these
challenging business conditions, we continued efforts to stimulate sales with discounts and
promotional events as we also managed our inventory purchases, maintained expense control efforts
and reduced capital expenditures.
We opened 6 stores in fiscal 2009, 43 stores in fiscal 2008 and 42 stores in fiscal 2007. In
addition, during fiscal 2009 we applied a new store design which was tested in three K&G stores in
fiscal 2008 to approximately 80 additional K&G stores. The new store design establishes a modern
look and feel from the exterior entrance of the store to the inside of the fitting rooms. We
believe these new design elements convey a more vibrant and energetic attitude to our customers.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment
charges of $19.5 million related to store assets for 145 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores and 12 K&G
stores. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded pretax non-cash asset
impairment charges of $1.8 million related mainly to store assets for two K&G stores. No asset
impairment charges were recorded in fiscal 2007. The more significant factors impacting these
charges are discussed below. Refer to Impairment of Long-Lived Assets as discussed in Critical
Accounting Polices and Estimates below and Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further details.
Of the total $19.5 million non-cash asset impairment charges in fiscal 2009, $5.1 million
related to 12 K&G stores. The asset impairment charges in fiscal 2009 and 2008 resulted primarily
from sales declines at the K&G stores that started in fiscal 2007 and continued in fiscal 2008 and
fiscal 2009 due mainly to the recessionary trend of the U.S. economy.
The remaining $14.4 million of asset impairment charges in fiscal 2009 related to store assets
for 145 of the 454 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores open at the end of fiscal 2009. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2009, we renamed our stand-alone tuxedo rental stores to Mens Wearhouse and Tux.
These stores were acquired in April 2007 or opened subsequently and operated as MW Tux from the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 until the first quarter of fiscal 2009 when they were renamed Mens
Wearhouse and Tux. These stores offer a full selection of tuxedo rental product as well as an
expanded selection of retail merchandise, including formalwear and suit separates, dress shirts and
ties targeted towards a younger customer, which was introduced during the first quarter of fiscal
2009. It was anticipated that expanding the retail merchandise at the rental stores and renaming
them to Mens Wearhouse and Tux would diminish or possibly reverse a consumer driven shifting of
rental revenues that was occurring from the rental stores to our Mens Wearhouse stores located in
close proximity (one mile or less). Although the expanded merchandise offering contributed to a
significant increase in retail clothing sales by the rental stores in fiscal 2009, the shifting of
tuxedo rental revenues from the rental stores to nearby Mens Wearhouse stores continued to
occur. In total, tuxedo rental revenues for fiscal 2009 were $334.1 million compared to $330.0
million in fiscal 2008 and $325.3 million in fiscal 2007; however, $14.4 million of store assets
for 145 of the 454 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores open at the end of fiscal 2009 were impaired due
mainly to the shifting of rental revenues.
22
Table of Contents
The net assets for 122 of the total 157 stores impaired in fiscal 2009 are fully impaired and
comprise $16.9 million of the total $19.5 million pretax impairment charge. The remaining net book
value of the assets for the 35 stores that are not fully impaired totaled $1.3 million at the end
of fiscal 2009. Changes to our key assumptions related to store performance, market conditions and
other economic factors could result in future impairment charges for these partially impaired
stores as well as for other stores where the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
In 2009, we closed four Mens Wearhouse stores due to lease expiration and one K&G store due
to substandard performance. We also closed 36 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores: one due to
substandard performance, nine due to lease expiration and 26 due to consolidation of operations
with other existing Mens Wearhouse stores in the area. In 2008, we closed two Mens Wearhouse
stores due to substandard performance. We also closed 20 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores: seven due
to substandard performance, one due to lease expiration and 12 due to consolidation of operations
with other existing Mens Wearhouse stores in the area. In 2007, we closed 27 stores due to the
integration of After Hours into our operations and two Mens Wearhouse stores and one K&G store due
to lease expirations.
During the second quarter of 2009, we entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party
who assumed our liability for unredeemed gift cards that had not yet reached their statutory
escheatment term. As a result of this agreement, we are no longer subject to certain third party
claims for unredeemed gift cards, which allows us to recognize other income from breakage of gift
cards when the likelihood of redemption of the gift cards is remote. Pretax breakage income of
$5.0 million was recognized during fiscal 2009. Refer to Gift Cards and Gift Card Breakage as
discussed in Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates below and Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further details.
We expect general economic conditions to remain difficult in 2010. In response to these
challenges, we plan to continue efforts to stimulate sales with discounts and other promotional
events, to manage our inventory purchases, to continue expense controls and to limit our capital
expenditures. We plan to open approximately 15 Mens Wearhouse stores in fiscal 2010 and to expand
and/or relocate approximately 15 existing Mens Wearhouse stores, one existing Mens Wearhouse and
Tux store, five existing K&G stores and seven existing Moores stores. We also plan to increase the
ladies assortment of merchandise in 44 of our 107 K&G stores and to introduce a limited assortment
of deeply discounted European luxury brand merchandise in certain K&G stores. We plan to close one
Mens Wearhouse store, seven K&G stores and approximately 45 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores in the
next 13 months as their lease terms expire, and approximately 20 additional Mens Wearhouse and Tux
stores will be closed if acceptable lease termination arrangements can be established. Based on
our experience with previous economic downturns, we believe long-term fundamentals for the mens
specialty apparel industry remain strong and that current negative conditions will stabilize over
time. However, we cannot predict when a meaningful recovery will occur.

2009 Compared with 2008
The Companys net sales decreased $62.8 million, or 3.2%, to $1,909.6 million for fiscal 2009
as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease was due mainly to a $68.3 million decrease in clothing
product revenues, offset partially by a $4.1 million increase in tuxedo rental services and a $1.9
million increase in alteration services, and is attributable to the following:
(in millions) | Amount Attributed to | |||
$ | (57.3 | ) | Decrease in comparable sales. |
|
14.4 | Increase from net sales of stores opened in 2008, relocated
stores and expanded stores not yet included in comparable
sales. |
|||
3.7 | Increase in net sales from 6 stores opened in 2009. |
|||
1.9 | Increase in alteration services sales. |

||
(8.5 | ) | Decrease in net sales resulting from stores closed. |
||
(7.1 | ) | Decrease in net sales resulting from exchange rate changes. |
||
$ | (62.8 | ) | Total |
Our comparable store sales (which are calculated by excluding the net sales of a store for any
month of one period if the store was not open throughout the same month of the prior period)
decreased 4.0% at Mens Wearhouse as increases in units per transaction, driven by our promotional
activities, were more than offset by lower store traffic levels and higher markdowns. At Moores,
comparable store sales decreased 0.9% as increases in units per transaction, driven by our
promotional activities, and a higher average transaction value were more than offset by lower store
traffic levels. At K&G, comparable store sales decreased 1.9% primarily due to decreases in units
per transaction and higher markdowns. The continuation of negative macroeconomic conditions,
including high unemployment, particularly affected sales of mens apparel as buying patterns for
men are considered to be more discretionary than those in other apparel areas. The lower clothing
product sales were partially offset by increased revenues from our tuxedo rental services due
mainly to higher average rental rates. As a percentage of total revenues, tuxedo rental service
revenues increased from 16.7% in 2008 to 17.5% in 2009. Exchange rate changes from a weaker
Canadian dollar also caused total sales for fiscal 2009 to be $7.1 million less than the comparable
prior year sales. The decrease in corporate apparel and other sales was due mainly to reduced
orders from several major corporate apparel customers.

Buying and distribution costs are included in determining our clothing product and total gross
margins. Our gross margin may not be comparable to other specialty retailers, as some companies
exclude costs related to their distribution network from cost of goods sold while others, like us,
include all or a portion of such costs in cost of goods sold and exclude them from selling, general
and administrative expenses.
Total gross margin decreased 6.2% from $850.5 million in fiscal 2008 to $797.7 million in
fiscal 2009. As a percentage of sales, total gross margin decreased from 43.1% in 2008 to 41.8% in
2009. This decrease is due mainly to lower clothing product margin, offset slightly by improved
tuxedo rental and alteration services margins. As a percentage of related sales, the clothing
product gross margin decreased from 55.6% in 2008 to 53.7% in 2009 due primarily to higher
markdowns from increased promotional activities at our Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores. The
tuxedo rental services gross margin increased slightly from 82.0% in 2008 to 82.8% in 2009 due
mainly to the absence in 2009 of costs incurred in the first quarter of 2008 associated with
realignment of our tuxedo rental product inventory. The gross margin for alteration and other
services increased from 24.1% in 2008 to 26.2% in 2009 mainly as a result of reduced alteration
costs combined with increased alteration sales associated with the increased unit sales from our
promotional events. Occupancy cost, which is relatively constant on a per store basis and includes
store related rent, common area maintenance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, property
taxes and depreciation, increased from 14.9% of total sales in 2008 to 15.2% in 2009 but, on an
absolute dollar basis, decreased by 1.3%.
Non-cash asset impairment charges increased to $19.5 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to
$1.8 million in fiscal 2008. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased from 0.1% in 2008
to 1.0% in 2009. The asset impairment charges in fiscal 2009 related to 145 Mens Wearhouse and
Tux stores and 12 K&G stores. The asset impairment charges in fiscal 2008 related to two K&G
stores. Refer to Impairment of Long-Lived Assets as discussed in Critical Accounting Polices and
Estimates below and Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $710.0 million in fiscal
2009 from $758.2 million in fiscal 2008, a decrease of $48.2 million or 6.4%. As a percentage of
sales, these expenses decreased from 38.4% in 2008 to 37.2% in 2009. The components of this 1.2%
net decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales and the related absolute dollar changes
were as follows:
% | Attributed to | |||
0.4 | % | Increase in advertising expense as a percentage of sales
from 3.9% in 2008 to 4.3% in 2009. On an absolute dollar
basis, advertising expense increased $5.0 million. |
||
0.1 | % | Increase in store salaries as a percentage of sales from
14.9% in 2008 to 15.0% in 2009. Store salaries on an
absolute dollar basis decreased $7.8 million primarily due
to decreased commissions and store personnel due to
decreased sales and fewer stores in 2009. |
||
(0.5 | )% | Decrease in other SG&A expenses of $10.0 million due to
the absence in 2009 of costs incurred in 2008 in
connection with the July 11, 2008 closure of the Canadian
based manufacturing facility operated by the Companys
subsidiary, Golden Brand. |
||
0.4 | % | Increase in other SG&A expenses of $8.8 million due to the
absence in 2009 of the gain on sale of certain
distribution facility assets acquired by the State of
California through eminent domain in 2008. |
||
(1.6 | )% | Decrease in other SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales
from 19.5% in 2008 to 17.9% in 2009. On an absolute dollar
basis, other SG&A expenses decreased $44.2 million
primarily due to cost control efforts initiated in the
fourth quarter of 2008 and the 2009 recognition of $5.0
million in other operating income from gift card breakage.
During the second quarter of 2009, we entered into an
agreement with an unrelated third party who assumed our
liability for unredeemed gift cards that had not yet
reached their statutory escheatment term. As a result of
this agreement, we are no longer subject to certain third
party claims for unredeemed gift cards, which allows us to
recognize other income from breakage of gift cards when
the likelihood of redemption of the gift cards is remote
(refer to Gift Cards and Gift Card Breakage as discussed
in Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates below and
Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). |

(1.2 | )% | Total |
Interest expense decreased from $4.3 million in fiscal 2008 to $1.2 million in fiscal 2009
while interest income decreased from $2.6 million in fiscal 2008 to $0.9 million in fiscal 2009.
Weighted average borrowings outstanding decreased from $91.1 million in 2008 to $47.4 million in
2009, and the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness decreased from 4.3% to
1.9%. The decrease in the weighted average borrowings was due mainly to the voluntary repayment of
a portion of our Canadian term loan in October 2008 of approximately US$31.9 million and payments
on our revolving credit facility of $25.0 million during the first quarter of 2009. The weighted
average interest rate for fiscal 2009 decreased mainly due to a decrease in the effective interest
rate for the Canadian term loan from 1.9% at January 31, 2009 to 1.1% at January 30, 2010. The
decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower interest rates for fiscal 2009 as
compared to fiscal 2008.
Our effective income tax rate was 33.0% for 2009 and 33.7% for fiscal 2008. The effective tax
rate for fiscal 2009 was lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to the
foreign exchange impact of distributed earnings from our Canadian operations, favorable conclusions
of certain income tax audits and statute of limitation expirations during the year, offset
partially by the unfavorable effect of state income taxes and establishment of a valuation
allowance related to potential limited utilization of foreign tax credits. The effective income
tax rate in 2008 was lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% mainly because favorable
conclusions of certain income tax audits and statute of limitation expirations during the year more
than offset the effect of state income taxes. As of January 30, 2010, we had $7.1 million in
unrecognized tax benefits, of which $4.8 million, if recognized, would reduce our income tax
expense and effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that there could be a net reduction in
the balance of unrecognized tax benefits of up to $1.0 million in the next twelve months.
These factors resulted in 2009 net earnings of $45.5 million or 2.4% of net sales, compared
with 2008 net earnings of $58.8 million or 3.0% of net sales.

2008 Compared with 2007
The Companys net sales decreased $140.1 million, or 6.6%, to $1,972.4 million for fiscal 2008
as compared to fiscal 2007. The decrease was due mainly to a $140.5 million decrease in clothing
product revenues, offset partially by a $4.7 million increase in tuxedo rental service revenues and
is attributable to the following:
(in millions) | Amount Attributed to | |||
$ | (170.7 | ) | Decrease in comparable sales. |
|
23.5 | Increase from net sales of stores opened in 2007, relocated
stores and expanded stores not yet included in comparable
sales. |
|||
16.6 | Increase in net sales from 43 new stores opened in 2008. |
|||
4.3 | Increase from net sales of acquired After Hours stores, not
included in comparable sales until second quarter of 2008. |
|||
(6.0 | ) | Decrease in net sales resulting from stores closed. |
||
(1.3 | ) | Decrease in alteration and other sales. |
||
(6.5 | ) | Decrease in net sales resulting from exchange rate changes. |
||
$ | (140.1 | ) | Total |
Our comparable store sales (which are calculated by excluding the net sales of a store for any
month of one period if the store was not open throughout the same month of the prior period)
decreased 9.0% at Mens Wearhouse, 11.7% at K&G and 5.6% at Moores. These decreases were primarily
due to decreased clothing product sales resulting from continued declines in traffic levels at all
our retail apparel brands. The recessionary trend of the U.S. economy that started in late 2007
and a weakening Canadian economy continued to negatively impact consumer spending during 2008, with
sales of mens apparel being particularly affected. Buying patterns for men are considered to be
more discretionary than those in other apparel areas. The lower clothing product sales were
partially offset by increased revenues from our tuxedo rental services due mainly to a full year of
rentals in 2008 from the After Hours stores acquired on April 9, 2007 and to higher average rental
rates. As a percentage of total revenues, tuxedo rental service revenues increased from 15.4% in
2007 to 16.7% in 2008.
The Companys gross margin was as follows:

Total gross margin |
43.1 | % | 45.9 | % | 43.3 | % |
Buying and distribution costs are included in determining our clothing product and total gross
margins. Our gross margin may not be comparable to other specialty retailers, as some companies
exclude costs related to their distribution network from cost of goods sold while others, like us,
include all or a portion of such costs in cost of goods sold and exclude them from selling, general
and administrative expenses.
Total gross margin decreased 12.3% from $970.1 in fiscal 2007 to $850.5 million in fiscal
2008. As a percentage of sales, total gross margin decreased from 45.9% in 2007 to 43.1% in 2008.
This decrease is due mainly to lower clothing product margins and an increase from 12.9% in 2007
to 14.9% in 2008 for occupancy cost, which is relatively constant on a per store basis and includes
store related rent, common area maintenance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, property
taxes and depreciation. On an absolute dollar basis, occupancy cost increased by 7.9% from 2007 to
2008, due mainly to our acquisition of After Hours and increased rental rates for new and renewed
leases. With respect to gross margin as a percentage of related sales, the clothing product gross
margin decreased from 57.2% in 2007 to 55.6% in 2008 due primarily to higher markdowns from
increased promotional activity at our Mens Wearhouse and K&G stores. The tuxedo rental services
gross margin increased from 81.0% in 2007 to 82.0% in 2008 due mainly to the absence in 2008 of a
$3.6 million charge taken in 2007 in connection with initial efforts to establish a global
merchandising assortment for the combined tuxedo rental operations of After Hours and Mens
Wearhouse. The gross margin for alteration and other services remained the same in 2008 as in 2007
at 24.1% as increased alteration sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 from our promotional events
offset decreased alteration margins caused by decreased clothing sales in 2008 and the related
deleveraging of alteration service fixed costs.

Non-cash asset impairment charges were $1.8 million in fiscal 2008 compared to zero in fiscal
2007. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 0.1% in 2008. The asset impairment charges
related mainly to two K&G stores still in operation.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $758.2 million in fiscal
2008 from $741.4 million in fiscal 2007, an increase of $16.8 million or 2.3%. As a percentage of
sales, these expenses increased from 35.1% in 2007 to 38.4% in 2008. The components of this 3.3%
net increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales and the related absolute dollar changes
were as follows:
% | Attributed to | |||
0.4 | % | Increase in advertising expense as a percentage of sales
from 3.5% in 2007 to 3.9% in 2008. On an absolute dollar
basis, advertising expense increased $3.2 million. |
||
0.9 | % | Increase in store salaries as a percentage of sales from
14.0% in 2007 to 14.9% in 2008. Store salaries on an
absolute dollar basis decreased $2.2 million primarily due
to decreased commissions and store personnel due to
decreased sales in 2008. This decrease more than offset
the increase in store salaries related to a full twelve
months of Mens Wearhouse and Tux (formerly After Hours)
store salaries in 2008 versus 301 days in fiscal 2007. |
||
0.5 | % | Increase in other SG&A expenses of $10.0 million in
connection with the July 11, 2008 closure of the Canadian
based manufacturing facility operated by the Companys
subsidiary, Golden Brand. |

from 17.6% in 2007 to 19.5% in 2008. On an absolute dollar
basis, other SG&A expenses increased $14.7 million
primarily due to other SG&A expenses associated with a

After Hours) operations in 2008 versus 301 days in fiscal

Interest expense decreased from $5.0 million in fiscal 2007 to $4.3 million in fiscal 2008
while interest income decreased from $6.0 million in fiscal 2007 to $2.6 million in fiscal 2008.
Weighted average borrowings outstanding increased from $86.4 million in 2007 to $91.1 million in
2008, and the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness decreased from 5.5% to
4.3%. The increase in the weighted average borrowings resulted from borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, offset partially by payments made on our Canadian term loan on October 22, 2008 of
approximately US$31.9 million. Outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility were
$25.0 million at January 31, 2009 at an effective interest rate of 1.2%. The weighted average
interest rate for fiscal 2008 decreased mainly due to a decrease in the effective interest rate for
the Canadian term loan from 4.8% at February 2, 2008 to 1.9% at January 31, 2009, offset partially
by borrowings at a weighted average rate of 4.2% under our revolving credit facility during fiscal
2008. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower average invested cash
balances and lower interest rates for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The average yield on
our investments decreased due to changes in the investment market and our shift to more
conservative investments.
Our effective income tax rate was 36.0% for fiscal 2007 and 33.7% for fiscal 2008. The
effective tax rate in 2007 was higher than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to
the effect of state income taxes, offset by favorable developments in certain outstanding income
tax matters in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The effective income tax rate in 2008 was lower
than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% mainly because favorable conclusions of certain income
tax audits and statute of limitation expirations during the year more than offset the effect of
state income taxes.
These factors resulted in 2008 net earnings of $58.8 million or 3.0% of net sales, compared
with 2007 net earnings of $147.0 million or 7.0% of net sales.

Supplemental Information
Fiscal 2008 compared to Pro Forma fiscal 2007
The consolidated statements of earnings included herein reflect the Companys GAAP results of
operations for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. Since the acquisition of After Hours occurred on April
9, 2007, the inclusion of its off-season operations as if the acquisition had occurred prior to the
beginning of 2007 reduces diluted earnings per common share for fiscal 2007 from $2.73 on a GAAP
basis to $2.57 on a pro forma basis and allows for a comparison of the 2008 and 2007 results on a
comparable operations basis. The following table, expressed as a percentage of net sales for the
periods indicated, and comments that follow are based on a comparison of the pro forma results for
fiscal 2007 with the GAAP results for fiscal 2008. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated

Total net sales decreased $170.1 million or 7.9% to $1,972.4 million in 2008 from $2,142.5
million for the pro forma fiscal year 2007. Clothing product sales, representing 76.8% of 2008
total net sales, decreased 8.7% due primarily to decreases in comparable store sales driven by a
reduction in store traffic levels. Tuxedo rental service sales, representing 16.7% of 2008 total
net sales, decreased 6.2%. This decline was primarily due to reduced tuxedo rental sales at stores
acquired in 2007 as well as the sale of the acquired wholesale tuxedo rental operations in July
2007. These declines were partially offset by increases in tuxedo rental service sales at the
Mens Wearhouse stores and higher average rental rates at the Mens Wearhouse and Moores stores.
Gross margin before occupancy costs, as a percentage of total net sales, decreased from pro
forma 59.1% in 2007 to 58.0% in 2008. Clothing product margins as a percentage of related 2008
sales decreased 149 basis points while tuxedo rental service margins increased 71 basis points from
the pro forma fiscal year 2007. Gross margin for alteration and other services remained constant as
a percentage of related 2008 sales as increased alteration sales in the fourth quarter of 2008
related to our promotional events offset decreased alteration margins caused by decreased clothing
sales in 2008 and the related deleveraging of fixed alteration service costs. Occupancy costs as a
percentage of total net sales increased by 189 basis points from pro forma 13.0% in 2007 to 14.9%
in 2008 due to the deleveraging effect of reduced comparable store sales, increased rental rates
for new and renewed leases and increased depreciation expense from the rebranding of After Hours
stores to MW Tux.
The asset impairment charge of $1.8 million recorded in 2008 related mainly to two stores
still in operation.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total net sales, increased
245 basis points from pro forma 36.0% in 2007 to 38.4% in 2008. This increase was primarily due to
the deleveraging effect of reduced net sales in addition to $10.0 million of costs associated with
the July 11, 2008 closure of the Canadian based manufacturing facility operated by the Companys
subsidiary, Golden Brand, offset partially by an $8.8 million gain from the sale of certain
distribution facility assets acquired by the State of California through eminent domain in 2008.
These factors resulted in operating income of $90.5 million and net earnings of $58.8 million
in fiscal 2008 compared to pro forma operating income of $215.6 million and net earnings of $138.4
million for fiscal 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $186.0 million and
$87.4 million, respectively. We had working capital of $484.3 million, $411.4 million and $393.7
million at January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, respectively, which included
short-term investments of $17.1 million and $59.9 million at January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008.
We held no short-term investments at January 30, 2010. Our primary sources of working capital are
cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Historically, our working
capital has been at its lowest level in January and February, and has increased through November as
inventory buildup occurs in preparation for the fourth quarter selling season. The $72.9 million
increase in working capital at January 30, 2010 compared to January 31, 2009 resulted primarily
from increased cash balances from operating results.
On April 9, 2007, we completed the acquisition of After Hours, a mens formalwear chain in the
United States with 509 stores operating under After Hours Formalwear and Mr. Tux store fronts.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of After
Hours from Federated Department Stores, Inc. in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0
million, adjusted for certain items, primarily customer cash deposits retained by Federated on
rentals to be completed after closing. The total net cash consideration paid after these
adjustments and other acquisition costs was approximately $69.8 million.
On March 3, 2008, we announced that Golden Brand Clothing (Canada) Ltd., an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, intended to close its Montreal, Quebec-based manufacturing
facility. The facility was closed on July 11, 2008. In fiscal 2008, we recognized pretax costs of
$10.0 million for closure of the facility, including $6.6 million for severance payments, $1.1
million for the write-off of fixed assets, $1.6 million for lease termination payments and $0.7
million for other costs related to closing the facility. These charges are included in Selling,
general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of earnings. No charges were
recognized during fiscal 2009. Net cash payments of $1.0 million and $7.2 million related to the
closure of the facility were made in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The payments made in
fiscal 2009 and the accrued balance of $0.1 million at January 30, 2010 for closure of the facility
relate to the remaining lease termination payments which will be paid over the remaining term of
the lease through February 2010.
Credit Facilities
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a group of banks,
which was last amended on February 2, 2007, provides for a total senior secured revolving credit
facility of $200.0 million, which can be expanded to $250.0 million upon additional lender
commitments, that matures on February 11, 2012. The Credit Agreement also provided our Canadian
subsidiaries with a senior secured term loan used to fund the repatriation of US$74.7 million of
Canadian earnings in January 2006 under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Canadian term
loan matures on February 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement is secured by the stock of certain of our
subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement has several borrowing and interest rate options including the
following indices: (i) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate or the
federal funds rate plus 0.5%) or (ii) LIBO rate or (iii) CDO rate. Advances under the Credit
Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest
rate margin up to 1.125%. The Credit Agreement also provides for fees applicable to unused
commitments ranging from 0.100% to 0.175%. As of January 30, 2010, there was US$43.5 million
outstanding under the Canadian term loan with an effective interest rate of 1.1%, and no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial covenants, including the
requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. The restrictive provisions in the Credit
Agreement reflect an overall covenant structure that is generally representative of a commercial
loan made to an investment-grade company. Our debt, however, is not rated, and we have not sought,
and are not seeking, a rating of our debt. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit
Agreement as of January 30, 2010.
Tightened conditions in the U.S. and global credit markets have made it difficult for many
businesses to obtain financing on acceptable terms. If these market conditions continue or worsen,
it may be more difficult for us to renew or increase our credit facility.
We utilize letters of credit primarily for inventory purchases and as collateral for workers
compensation claims. At January 30, 2010, letters of credit totaling approximately $12.3 million
were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under our Credit Agreement at January 30, 2010
were $187.7 million.

Cash flow activities
Operating activities Our primary source of operating cash flow is from sales to our
customers. Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory and tuxedo rental product
purchases, personnel related expenses, occupancy costs, advertising costs and income tax payments.
Our operating activities provided net cash of $163.2 million in 2009, due mainly to net earnings,
adjusted for non-cash charges, and decreases in inventories and other assets and an increase in
income taxes payable, offset in part by an increase in tuxedo rental product and decreases in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Our operating activities
provided net cash of $129.5 million in 2008, due mainly to net earnings, adjusted for non-cash
charges, and a decrease in inventories, offset in part by an increase in tuxedo rental product and
decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income taxes
payable. Our operating activities provided net cash of $204.9 million in 2007 mainly because cash
provided by net earnings, as adjusted for non-cash charges, more than offset cash used for
increases in inventories and tuxedo rental product and decreases in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other current liabilities and a decrease in income taxes payable. Inventories
decreased in 2009 and 2008 as purchases were reduced in line with decreased clothing sales in 2009
and 2008. Inventories increased in 2007 due mainly to increased selling square footage and an
increase of $7.7 million in corporate uniform product. Tuxedo rental product increased in each of
the years to support the continued growth in our tuxedo rental business, to replenish and replace
product and, in 2008, to rationalize the acquired After Hours tuxedo rental product offerings. The
decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities relate mainly to the
timing of vendor payments and, in 2009 and 2008, reduced purchases associated with decreased
clothing sales. The decrease in other assets in 2009 was mainly due to tax refunds received. In
2008 and 2007, income taxes payable decreased because actual earnings were lower than amounts used
to estimate required tax payments. The increase in income taxes payable in 2009 was due to the
timing and amounts of required tax payments.
Investing activities Our cash outflows from investing activities are primarily for capital
expenditures and purchases of short-term investments, while cash inflows are primarily the result
of proceeds from sales of short-term investments. Our investing activities used net cash of $36.7
million, $35.0 million and $254.3 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We made capital
expenditures of $56.9 million, $88.2 million and $126.1 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. In 2007, we made net purchases of short-term investments of $59.9 million and used
net cash of $68.2 million related to our acquisition of After Hours. In 2008, we had proceeds of
$9.6 million from the sale of certain distribution facility assets acquired by the State of
California through eminent domain. Additionally, in 2009 and 2008, we had net proceeds from
short-term investments of $19.4 million and $42.8 million, respectively.
Our capital expenditures relate mainly to costs incurred for stores opened, remodeled or
relocated during the year or under construction at the end of the year, distribution facility
additions and infrastructure technology investments as detailed below (in millions):

Property additions relating to new retail apparel stores include stores in various stages of
completion at the end of the fiscal year (one store at the end of 2009, five stores at the end of
2008 and eight stores at the end of 2007). In addition, other capital expenditures in 2007 include
$22.4 million of capital expenditures for our relocated corporate office facilities and data
center.

Financing activities Our cash outflows from financing activities consist primarily of cash
dividend payments, debt payments and treasury stock purchases, while cash inflows from financing
activities consist primarily of proceeds from our revolving credit facility and the issuance of
common stock. In 2009, our financing activities used net cash of $36.9 million, due mainly to the
payment of cash dividends and payments on our revolving credit facility, offset partially by
proceeds from the issuance of common stock. In 2008, our financing activities used net cash of
$25.4 million, due mainly to the payment of cash dividends and payments on our Canadian term loan
and our revolving credit facility, offset by proceeds from our revolving credit facility and the
issuance of common stock. In 2007, our financing activities used net cash of $104.4 million due
mainly to the purchase of treasury stock and cash dividends paid, offset partially by proceeds from
the issuance of common stock and excess tax benefits in connection with share-based compensation.
Share repurchase program - In January 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million
share repurchase program of our common stock, which superseded any remaining previous
authorizations. During fiscal 2007, we repurchased under the January 2006 program 1,063,200 shares
at a cost of $50.1 million in open market transactions and 8,290 shares at a cost of $0.3 million
in private transactions for a total of 1,071,490 shares at an average price of $47.06. In August
2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved a replenishment of the Companys share repurchase
program to $100.0 million by authorizing $90.3 million to be added to the remaining $9.7 million of
the then current program. During the remainder of fiscal 2007, 1,913,700 shares at a cost of $55.7
million were purchased in open market transactions under the August 2007 replenishment at an
average price of $29.10.
No shares were repurchased under the August 2007 authorization during fiscal 2009 or 2008. At
January 30, 2010, the remaining balance available under the August 2007 authorization was $44.3
million.
During fiscal 2009, 7,292 shares at a cost of $0.1 million were repurchased at an average
price per share of $12.29 in a private transaction to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising
upon the vesting of certain restricted stock. During fiscal 2008, 6,728 shares at a cost of $0.2
million were repurchased at an average price per share of $23.13 in a private transaction to
satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon the vesting of certain restricted stock.
The following table summarizes our share repurchases over the last three fiscal years:

Dividends Cash dividends paid were approximately $14.7 million, $14.6 million and $12.4
million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In fiscal 2009, a dividend of $0.07 per
share was declared in the first, second and third quarters and a dividend of $0.09 per share was
declared in the fourth quarter, for an annual dividend of $0.30 per share. A dividend of $0.07 per
share was declared in each quarter of fiscal 2008, for an annual dividend of $0.28 per share. In
fiscal 2007, a dividend of $0.06 per share was declared in the first, second and third quarters and
a dividend of $0.07 per share was declared in the fourth quarter, for an annual dividend of $0.25
per share. The cash dividend of $0.09 per share declared by our Board of Directors in January 2010
is payable on March 26, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 16, 2010. The dividend payout is
approximately $4.8 million and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of
January 30, 2010.
Futures sources and uses of cash
Our primary uses of cash are to finance working capital requirements of our operations. In
addition, we will use cash to fund capital expenditures, income tax and dividend payments,
operating leases and various other obligations, including the commitments discussed in the
Contractual Obligations table below, as they arise.
Capital expenditures are anticipated to be in the range of $55.0 to $60.0 million for 2010.
This amount includes the anticipated costs of opening approximately 15 new Mens Wearhouse stores
in 2010 at an expected average cost per store of approximately $0.3 million (excluding
telecommunications and point-of-sale equipment and inventory). The balance of the capital
expenditures for 2010 will be used for telecommunications, point-of-sale and other computer
equipment and systems, store relocations, remodeling and expansion, distribution facilities and
investment in our corporate uniform program. The Company anticipates that each of the new Mens
Wearhouse stores will
32
Table of Contents
require, on average, an initial inventory costing approximately $0.4 million (subject to the
seasonal patterns that affect inventory at all stores). These inventory purchases will be funded
by cash from operations, trade credit and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit
facility. The actual amount of future capital expenditures and inventory purchases will depend in
part on the number of new stores opened and the terms on which new stores are leased, as well as on
industry trends consistent with our anticipated operating plans. Additionally, market conditions
may produce attractive opportunities for us to acquire assets or retail chains larger than our past
acquisitions. Any such acquisitions may be undertaken as an alternative to opening new stores. We
may use cash on hand, together with cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving
credit facility and issuances of debt or equity securities, to take advantage of any significant
acquisition opportunities.
The continued weakness of current economic conditions, including high unemployment levels,
reduced consumer spending and tightened credit markets, could negatively affect our future
operating results as well as our existing cash and cash equivalents balances. In addition,
conditions in the financial markets could limit our access to additional capital resources, if
needed, and could increase associated costs. We believe based on our current business plan that
our existing cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our planned store
openings, other capital expenditures and operating cash requirements and that we will be able to
maintain compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement for at least the next 12 months. In
addition, as of January 30, 2010, borrowings available under our Credit Agreement were $187.7
million.
As a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents, which are primarily U.S. treasuries
and other interest bearing accounts, is held by three financial institutions (two U.S. and one
Canadian), we are exposed to risk of loss in the event of failure of any of these parties.
However, due to the creditworthiness of these financial institutions, we anticipate full
performance and access to our deposits and liquid investments.

Contractual Obligations
As of January 30, 2010, the Company is obligated to make cash payments in connection with its
long-term debt, noncancelable capital and operating leases and other contractual obligations in the
amounts listed below. In addition, we utilize letters of credit primarily for inventory purchases
and as collateral for workers compensation claims. At January 30, 2010, letters of credit totaling
approximately $12.3 million were issued and outstanding.

(a) | Long-term debt includes our Canadian term loan of US$43.5 million due in February 2011. The Canadian term loan bears interest at CDOR plus an applicable margin. This borrowing is further described in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The table assumes our long-term debt is held to maturity. | |
(b) | We lease retail business locations, office and warehouse facilities, copier equipment and automotive equipment under various noncancelable capital and operating leases. Leases on retail business locations specify minimum base rentals plus common area maintenance charges and possible additional rentals based upon percentages of sales. Most of the retail business location leases provide for renewal options at rates specified in the leases. Our future lease obligations would change if we exercised these renewal options and if we entered into additional lease agreements. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. | |
(c) | Other contractual obligations consist primarily of payments required under our marketing agreement with Davids Bridal, Inc. | |
(d) | Excluded from the table above is $8.6 million, which includes $1.5 million in interest, related to uncertain tax positions. These amounts are not included due to our inability to predict the timing of the settlement of these amounts. Refer to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. | |
(e) | In February 2010, we entered into several 60-month noncancelable capital leases for certain automotive equipment used for product distribution. Total minimum future rental payments under these leases, excluded from the table above, are approximately $1.5 million, which includes $0.3 million in interest, resulting in a net capital lease obligation of $1.2 million. The minimum future rental payments under these leases, which are excluded from the table above, are approximately $0.3 million for each of the fiscal years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and none thereafter. |
In the normal course of business, we issue purchase orders to
vendors/suppliers for merchandise. The purchase orders represent executory contracts requiring
performance by the vendors/suppliers, including the delivery of the merchandise prior to a
specified cancellation date and compliance with product specifications, quality standards and other
requirements. In the event of the vendors failure to meet the agreed upon terms and conditions,
we may cancel the order.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the noncancelable operating leases, other contractual obligations and letters of
credit discussed above, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are
material to its financial position or results of operations.

Inflation
The Company believes the impact of inflation on the results of operations during the periods
presented has been minimal. However, there can be no assurance that the Companys business will
not be affected by inflation in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the appropriate application
of accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In many
instances, this also requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that
affect the amounts and disclosures included in our financial statements. We base our estimates on
historical experience and various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under our current
business model. However, because future events and conditions and their effects cannot be
determined with certainty, actual results will differ from our estimates and such differences could
be material to our financial statements.
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We consistently apply these policies and periodically evaluate the reasonableness of our estimates
in light of actual events. Historically, we have found our accounting policies to be appropriate
and our estimates and assumptions reasonable. Our critical accounting policies, which are those
most significant to the presentation of our financial position and results of operations and those
that require significant judgment or complex estimates by management, are discussed below.
Revenue Recognition Clothing product revenue is recognized at the time of sale and delivery
of merchandise, net of actual sales returns and a provision for estimated sales returns, and
excludes sales taxes. Revenues from tuxedo rental, alteration and other services are recognized
upon completion of the services.
We present all non-income government-assessed taxes (sales, use and value added taxes)
collected from our customers and remitted to governmental agencies on a net basis (excluded from
net sales) in our consolidated financial statements. The government-assessed taxes are recorded in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities until they are remitted to the government agency.
Gift Cards and Gift Card Breakage Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a
liability and are recognized as net sales from products and services when the cards are redeemed.
Our gift cards do not have an expiration date. Prior to the second quarter of 2009, all unredeemed
gift card proceeds were reflected as a liability until escheated in accordance with applicable laws
and we did not recognize any income from unredeemed gift cards. During the second quarter of 2009,
we entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party who assumed our liability for unredeemed
gift cards that had not yet reached their statutory escheatment term. As a result of this
agreement, we are no longer subject to certain third-party claims for unredeemed gift cards.
Accordingly, beginning with the second quarter of 2009, we recognize income from breakage of gift
cards when the likelihood of redemption of the gift card is remote. We determine our gift card
breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. Based on this historical information, the
likelihood of a gift card remaining unredeemed can be determined 36 months after the gift card is
issued. At that time, breakage income is recognized for those cards for which the likelihood of
redemption is deemed to be remote and for which there is no legal obligation for us to remit the
value of such unredeemed gift cards to any relevant jurisdictions. Gift card breakage income is
recorded as other operating income and is classified as a reduction of Selling, general and
administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of earnings. Pretax breakage income,
including a cumulative adjustment of $3.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009, of $5.0
million ($3.3 million net of tax or $0.06 per diluted earnings per common share) was recognized
during fiscal 2009. Gift card breakage estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Table of Contents
Inventories Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the average cost method for approximately 74% of our inventory and on the retail inventory method
for the remaining 26% (primarily K&G inventories). Our inventory cost also includes estimated
buying and distribution costs (warehousing, freight, hangers and merchandising costs) associated
with the inventory, with the balance of such costs included in cost of sales. We make assumptions,
based primarily on historical experience, as to items in our inventory that may be damaged,
obsolete or salable only at marked down prices and reduce the cost of inventory to reflect the
market value of these items. If actual damages, obsolescence or market demand is significantly
different from our estimates, additional inventory write-downs could be required. In addition,
buying and distribution costs are allocated to inventory based on the ratio of annual product
purchases to inventory cost. If this ratio were to change significantly, it could materially
affect the amount of buying and distribution costs included in cost of sales.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and
identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of which there
are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a store level. Store assets are reviewed using
factors including, but not limited to, the Companys future operating plans and projected cash
flows. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows directly related to that store, compared to the carrying value of
the assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of a store does not exceed the
carrying value of the assets, full or partial impairment may exist. If the asset carrying amount
exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using an income approach,
which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset. Estimating
future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including
forecasting future sales, costs and useful lives of assets. Significant judgment is also involved
in selecting the appropriate discount rate to be applied in determining the estimated fair value of
an asset. Changes to our key assumptions related to store performance, market conditions and other
economic factors can significantly affect our impairment evaluation. For example, unanticipated
adverse market conditions can cause individual stores to become unprofitable and can result in an
impairment charge for the property and equipment assets in those stores.
No asset impairment charges were recorded in fiscal 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2008, we recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment charges of $1.8 million related mainly to
store assets for two K&G stores still in operation. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we
recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment charges of $19.5 million related to store assets for
145 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores and 12 K&G stores.
The pretax asset impairment charges for the K&G stores of $1.8 million in 2008 and $5.1
million in 2009 are the result primarily of sales declines that started in 2007 and continued
during 2008 and 2009 caused mainly by the recessionary trend of the U.S. economy. We plan to close
at least five of the 12 impaired K&G stores at the lease end or kick-out date over the next 13
months. All the store assets for these 12 K&G stores are fully impaired.
The fiscal 2009 pretax asset impairment charges related to the store assets for the 145 Mens
Wearhouse and Tux stores were $14.4 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we renamed
our stand-alone tuxedo rental stores to Mens Wearhouse and Tux. Most of these stores were
acquired in April 2007 or opened subsequently and operated as MW Tux from the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007 until the first quarter of fiscal 2009 when they were renamed Mens Wearhouse and Tux.
These rental stores offer a full selection of tuxedo rental product as well as an expanded
selection of retail merchandise, including formalwear and suit separates, dress shirts and ties
targeted towards a younger customer, which was introduced during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
It was anticipated that expanding the retail merchandise at the rental stores and renaming them to
Mens Wearhouse and Tux would diminish or possibly reverse a consumer driven shifting of rental
revenues that was occurring from the rental stores to our Mens Wearhouse stores located in close
proximity (one mile or less). Although the expanded merchandise offering contributed to a
significant increase in retail clothing sales by the rental stores in fiscal 2009, the shifting of
tuxedo rental revenues from the rental stores to nearby Mens Wearhouse stores continued to
occur. In total, tuxedo rental revenues for fiscal 2009 were $334.1 million compared to $330.0
million in fiscal 2008 and $325.3 million in fiscal 2007; however, $14.4 million of store assets
for 145 of the 454 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores open at the end of fiscal 2009 were impaired due
mainly to the shifting of rental revenues. We plan to close approximately 45 rental stores in the
next 13 months as their lease terms expire, and approximately 20 additional rental stores will be
closed if acceptable lease termination arrangements can be established. Most of the store assets
for the rental stores planned to be closed were impaired in fiscal 2009.
36
Table of Contents
The net assets for 122 of the total 157 stores impaired in fiscal 2009 are fully impaired and
comprise $16.9 million of the total $19.5 million pretax impairment charge. The remaining net book
value of the assets for the 35 stores that are not fully impaired totaled $1.3 million at the end
of fiscal 2009. Changes to our key assumptions related to store performance, market conditions and
other economic factors could result in future impairment charges for these partially impaired
stores as well as for other stores where the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially
recorded at their fair values. Trademarks, tradenames and other identifiable intangible assets
with finite useful lives are amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 17
years using the straight-line method and are periodically evaluated for impairment as discussed in
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets section above.
Goodwill, which totaled $59.4 million at January 30, 2010, represents the excess cost of
businesses acquired over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in prior business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated
annually as of our fiscal year end for impairment. A more frequent evaluation is performed if
events or circumstances indicate that impairment could have occurred. Such events or circumstances
could include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends,
unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, decisions to significantly modify or dispose
of operations and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock.
For purposes of our impairment evaluation, the reporting units are our operating brands
identified in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill has been assigned to
the reporting units based on prior business combinations related to the brands. The goodwill
impairment evaluation is performed in two steps. The first step is intended to determine if
potential impairment exists and is performed by comparing each reporting units fair value to its
carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its
estimated fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and we must complete the second
step of the testing to determine the amount of any impairment. The second step requires an
allocation of the reporting units first step estimated fair value to the individual assets and
liabilities of the reporting unit in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in
a business combination. Any excess of the estimated fair value over the amounts allocated to the
individual assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting
unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, we would recognize
an impairment charge for the difference.
In our step one process, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combined
income and market comparable approach. Our income approach uses projected future cash flows that
are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital analysis that reflects current market
conditions. The market comparable approach primarily considers market price multiples of
comparable companies and applies those price multiples to certain key drivers of the reporting
unit. We engage an independent valuation firm to assist us in estimating the fair value of our
reporting units.
Management judgment is a significant factor in the goodwill impairment evaluation process.
The computations require management to make estimates and assumptions. Critical assumptions that
are used as part of these evaluations include:
| The potential future cash flows of the reporting unit. The income approach relies on the timing and estimates of future cash flows. The projections use managements estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in revenue, gross margin and expense. The cash flows are based on the Companys most recent forecast and business plans and various growth rates have been assumed for years beyond the current business plan period. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in our 2009 impairment evaluation are reasonable; however, variations in the assumptions and rates could result in significantly different estimates of fair value. | ||
| Selection of an appropriate discount rate. The income approach requires the selection of an appropriate discount rate, which is based on a weighted average cost of capital analysis. The discount rate is affected by changes in short-term interest rates and long-term yield as well as variances in the typical capital structure of marketplace participants. Given current economic conditions, it is possible that the discount rate will fluctuate in the near term. The weighted average cost of capital used to discount the cash flows ranged from 12.0% to 13.0% for the 2009 analysis. |
37
Table of Contents
| Selection of comparable companies within the industry. For purposes of the market comparable approach, valuations were determined by calculating average price multiples of relevant key drivers from a group of companies that are comparable to the reporting units being analyzed and applying those price multiples to the key drivers of the reporting unit. While the market price multiple is not an assumption, a presumption that it provides an indicator of the value of the reporting unit is inherent in the valuation. The determination of the market comparable also involves a degree of judgment. Earnings multiples of 5.3 to 8.4 were used for the 2009 analysis. |
As discussed above, the fair values of reporting units in 2009 were determined using a
combined income and market comparable approach. We believe these two approaches are appropriate
valuation techniques and we generally weight the two values equally as an estimate of reporting
unit fair value for the purposes of our impairment testing. However, we may weigh one value more
heavily than the other when conditions merit doing so. The fair value derived from the weighting
of these two methods provided appropriate valuations that, in aggregate, reasonably reconciled to
our market capitalization, taking into account observable control premiums. Therefore, we used the
valuations in evaluating goodwill for possible impairment and determined that none of our goodwill
was impaired. We also performed a sensitivity analysis on our significant assumptions and
determined that a change in these assumptions within selected sensitivity testing levels would not
impact our conclusion.
The goodwill impairment evaluation process requires management to make estimates and
assumptions with regard to the fair value of the reporting units. Actual values may differ
significantly from these judgments, particularly if there are significant adverse changes in the
operating environment for our reporting units. Sustained declines in the Companys market
capitalization could also increase the risk of goodwill impairment. Such occurrences could result
in future goodwill impairment charges that would, in turn, negatively impact the Companys results
of operations; however, any such goodwill impairments would be non-cash charges that would not
affect our cash flows or compliance with our current debt covenants.
No impairment was identified in fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007.
Tuxedo Rental Product The cost of our tuxedo rental product is amortized to cost of sales
based on the cost of each unit rented, which is estimated based on the number of times the unit is
expected to be rented and the average cost of the rental product. Lost, damaged and retired rental
product is also charged to cost of sales. Tuxedo rental product is amortized to expense generally
over a two to three year period. We make assumptions, based primarily on historical experience and
information obtained from tuxedo rental industry sources, as to the number of times each unit can
be rented. If the actual number of times a unit can be rented were to vary significantly from our
estimates, it could materially affect the amount of tuxedo rental product amortization included in
cost of sales.
Self-Insurance We self-insure significant portions of our workers compensation and employee
medical costs. We estimate our liability for future payments under these programs based on
historical experience and various assumptions as to participating employees, health care costs,
number of claims and other factors, including industry trends and information provided to us by our
insurance broker. We also use actuarial estimates. If the number of claims or the costs
associated with those claims were to increase significantly over our estimates, additional charges
to earnings could be necessary to cover required payments.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax liabilities or assets are established for temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting bases and are subsequently adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in
effect when the temporary differences reverse. The deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary,
by a valuation allowance to the extent future realization of those tax benefits is uncertain.
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the related
taxes payable and deferred tax assets and liabilities since, in the ordinary course of business,
there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally,
our tax returns are subject to audit by various domestic and foreign tax authorities that could
result in material adjustments or differing interpretations of the tax laws. Although we believe
that our estimates are reasonable and are based on the best available information at the time we
prepare the provision, actual results could differ from these estimates resulting in a final tax
outcome that may be materially different from that which is reflected in our consolidated financial
statements.
38
Table of Contents
The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than
not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial
statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater
than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and/or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense. Significant judgment is required in
determining our uncertain tax positions. We have established accruals for uncertain tax positions
using our best judgment and adjust these accruals, as warranted, due to changing facts and
circumstances. A change in our uncertain tax positions, in any given period, could have a
significant impact on our financial position, results of operation and cash flows for that period.
Operating Leases Our operating leases primarily relate to stores and generally contain rent
escalation clauses, rent holidays, contingent rent provisions and occasionally leasehold
incentives. We recognize rent expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease, which is generally five to ten years based on the initial lease term plus first
renewal option periods that are reasonably assured. Rent expense for stores is included in cost of
sales as a part of occupancy cost and other rent is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses. The lease terms commence when we take possession with the right to control use of the
leased premises and, for stores, is generally 60 days prior to the date rent payments begin.
Rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a
construction period are recognized as rental expense. Deferred rent that results from recognition
of rent on a straight-line basis is included in other liabilities. Landlord incentives received
for reimbursement of leasehold improvements are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as a
reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are generally based on
percentages of sales and are recognized as store rent expense as they accrue.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a standard regarding
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and the hierarchy of generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). This standard identifies the source of accounting principles and
the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of
non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. In
addition, this standard establishes the FASB Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP
recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal
level of authority. This standard was effective for financial statements issued for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have an
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but will affect our
financial reporting process by eliminating all references to pre-codification standards. As of the
effective date of this standard, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification became non-authoritative.
In May 2009, the FASB issued a standard regarding accounting for subsequent events. This
standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This standard is effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB issued an accounting
standards update regarding accounting for subsequent events, which eliminated the requirement to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in the financial statements.
The accounting standards update was effective upon its final issuance. The adoption of the
standard and the accounting standards update did not affect our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance regarding accounting by lessees for maintenance
deposits. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance concluded
that all maintenance deposits within its scope should be accounted for as a deposit and expensed or
capitalized in accordance with the lessees maintenance accounting policy. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance for determining whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities, which provides that unvested
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents
(whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of
earnings per common share pursuant to the two-class method. The guidance is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those years. All prior period earnings per common share data presented shall be adjusted
retrospectively. Early application of this guidance was prohibited. We adopted this guidance on
February 1, 2009. We calculated basic and diluted earnings per common share under both the
two-class method and the treasury stock method for fiscal 2009, noting no significant difference on
the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations. This guidance has not been applied
to prior years as the impact is immaterial. Refer to Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for earnings per common share disclosures.
In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance which deferred the effective date of the FASB
statement regarding fair value measurements for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those
fiscal years for items within the scope of this guidance. We adopted this guidance for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on February 1, 2009. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value measurement
disclosures.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
Moores conducts its business in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars
and U.S. dollars has fluctuated over the last ten years. If the value of the Canadian dollar
against the U.S. dollar weakens, then the revenues and earnings of our Canadian operations will be
reduced when they are translated to U.S. dollars. Also, the value of our Canadian net assets in
U.S. dollars may decline.
Interest Rate Risk
We are also subject to market risk as a result of the outstanding balance of US$43.5 million
under our Canadian term loan at January 30, 2010, which bears a variable interest rate (see Note 4
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). An increase in market interest rates would
increase our interest expense and our cash requirements for interest payments. For example, an
average increase of 0.5% in the variable interest rate would increase our interest expense and
payments by approximately $0.2 million. At January 30, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding
under our revolving credit facility.
We also have exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates as those rates relate
to our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve
principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. As of
January 30, 2010, we have highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents in our
consolidated balance sheet. Future investment income earned on our cash equivalents will fluctuate
in line with short-term interest rates.

ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc.
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended January 30, 2010. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement
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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 30, 2010 and
January 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended January 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of January 30,
2010, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 31,
2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

On April 9, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of After Hours Formalwear, Inc.
(After Hours), a mens formalwear rental chain operating in the United States. As a result of
the acquisition, the consolidated statement of earnings and consolidated statement of cash flows
for the year ended February 2, 2008 include the results of operations and cash flows, respectively,
of After Hours beginning April 10, 2007. In addition, the consolidated balance sheet as of
February 2, 2008 includes estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed from After Hours as of the acquisition date. During the first quarter of 2008, we
completed our assessment and purchase price allocation of the fair values of the acquired After
Hours assets and liabilities assumed. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of the After Hours
acquisition.
Asset impairment charges have been reclassified as a separate line item in the consolidated
statement of earnings for the period ended January 31, 2009.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Our most significant estimates and assumptions, as discussed in Managements
Discussion and Analysis Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included herein, are those
relating to revenue recognition, gift cards and gift card breakage, inventories, impairment of
long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortization of the cost of our tuxedo rental product, our
estimated liabilities for self-insured portions of our workers compensation and employee health
benefit costs, our estimates relating to income taxes and our operating lease accounting.
Segment Information We consider our business as one operating segment based on the similar
economic characteristics of our brands. Revenues of Canadian retail operations were $222.0
million, $230.2 million and $249.7 million for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Long-lived assets of our Canadian operations were $77.0 million and $71.8 million as of the end of
fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash in banks, cash on
hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. As a
substantial portion of our cash and investments, which are primarily U.S. treasuries and other
interest bearing accounts, is held by three financial institutions (two U.S. and one Canadian), we
are exposed to risk of loss in the event of failure of any of these parties. However, due to the
creditworthiness of these financial institutions, we anticipate full performance and access to our
deposits and liquid investments.
Short-term Investments Short-term investments at January 31, 2009 consisted of highly liquid
cashable guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of more than three months, but
less than one year. Cashable guaranteed investment certificates are one year investments that can
be liquidated any time after a 30 day holding period from the date of purchase without penalty.
Guaranteed investment certificates are invested with
various Canadian banks. These short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale and
were carried at cost or par value which approximates the fair market value, with interest on these
securities included in interest income. We held no short-term investments at January 30, 2010.

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of our receivables from third-party credit
card providers and other trade receivables, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $0.4
million and $0.2 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Collectibility is reviewed
regularly and the allowance is adjusted as necessary.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the average cost method for approximately 74% of our inventory and on the retail inventory method
for the remaining 26% (primarily K&G inventories). Our inventory cost also includes estimated
buying and distribution costs (warehousing, freight, hangers and merchandising costs) associated
with the inventory. Buying and distribution costs are allocated to inventory based on the ratio of
annual product purchases to inventory cost. We make assumptions, based primarily on historical
experience, as to items in our inventory that may be damaged, obsolete or salable only at marked
down prices and reduce the cost of inventory to reflect the market value of these items.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Normal repairs and
maintenance costs are charged to earnings as incurred and additions and major improvements are
capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related allowances for
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal and the resulting gain or
loss is credited or charged to earnings.
Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
20 to 25 years. Depreciation of leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method
over the term of the lease, which is generally five to ten years based on the initial lease term
plus first renewal option periods that are reasonably assured, or the useful life of the assets,
whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using primarily the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to 25 years.
Depreciation expense was $83.9 million, $88.1 million and $78.0 million for fiscal 2009, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
In January 2009, we received cash proceeds of approximately $9.6 million from the State of
California (the State) for certain property being acquired by the State pursuant to eminent
domain. We recognized a pretax gain of $8.8 million from this transaction. The property acquired
by the State is primarily machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements at the site of our
Arleta, California distribution facility. The gain is included in Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings for the period ended January 31,
2009.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and
identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of which there
are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a store level. Store assets are reviewed using
factors including, but not limited to, the Companys future operating plans and projected cash
flows. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows directly related to that store, compared to the carrying value of
the assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of a store does not exceed the
carrying value of the assets, full or partial impairment may exist. If the asset carrying amount
exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using an income approach,
which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset. Estimating
future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including
forecasting future sales, costs and useful lives of assets. Significant judgment is also involved
in selecting the appropriate discount rate to be applied in determining the estimated fair value of
an asset. Changes to our key assumptions related to store performance, market conditions and other
economic factors can significantly affect our impairment evaluation. For example, unanticipated
adverse market conditions can cause individual stores to become unprofitable and can result in an
impairment charge for the property and equipment assets in those stores.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
No asset impairment charges were recorded in fiscal 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2008, we recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment charges of $1.8 million related mainly to
store assets for two K&G stores still in operation. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we
recognized pretax non-cash asset impairment charges of $19.5 million related to store assets for
145 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores and 12 K&G stores.
The pretax asset impairment charges for the K&G stores of $1.8 million in 2008 and $5.1
million in 2009 are the result primarily of sales declines that started in 2007 and continued
during 2008 and 2009 caused mainly by the recessionary trend of the U.S. economy.
The fiscal 2009 pretax asset impairment charges related to the store assets for the 145 Mens
Wearhouse and Tux stores were $14.4 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we renamed
our stand-alone tuxedo rental stores to Mens Wearhouse and Tux. Most of these stores were
acquired in April 2007 or opened subsequently and operated as MW Tux from the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007 until the first quarter of fiscal 2009 when they were renamed Mens Wearhouse and Tux.
These rental stores offer a full selection of tuxedo rental product as well as an expanded
selection of retail merchandise, including formalwear and suit separates, dress shirts and ties
targeted towards a younger customer, which was introduced during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
It was anticipated that expanding the retail merchandise at the rental stores and renaming them to
Mens Wearhouse and Tux would diminish or possibly reverse a consumer driven shifting of rental
revenues that was occurring from the rental stores to our Mens Wearhouse stores located in close
proximity (one mile or less). Although the expanded merchandise offering contributed to a
significant increase in retail clothing sales by the rental stores in fiscal 2009, the shifting of
tuxedo rental revenues from the rental stores to nearby Mens Wearhouse stores continued to
occur. In total, tuxedo rental revenues for fiscal 2009 were $334.1 million compared to $330.0
million in fiscal 2008 and $325.3 million in fiscal 2007; however, $14.4 million of store assets
for 145 of the 454 Mens Wearhouse and Tux stores open at the end of fiscal 2009 were impaired due
mainly to the shifting of rental revenues.
The net assets for 122 of the total 157 stores impaired in fiscal 2009 are fully impaired and
comprise $16.9 million of the total $19.5 million pretax impairment charge. The remaining net book
value of the assets for the 35 stores that are not fully impaired totaled $1.3 million at the end
of fiscal 2009. Changes to our key assumptions related to store performance, market conditions and
other economic factors could result in future impairment charges for these partially impaired
stores as well as for other stores where the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially
recorded at their fair values. Trademarks, tradenames and other identifiable intangible assets
with finite useful lives are amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 17
years using the straight-line method and are periodically evaluated for impairment as discussed in
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets section above.
Goodwill, which totaled $59.4 million at January 30, 2010, represents the excess cost of
businesses acquired over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in prior business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated
annually as of our fiscal year end for impairment. A more frequent evaluation is performed if
events or circumstances indicate that impairment could have occurred. Such events or circumstances
could include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends,
unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, decisions to significantly modify or dispose
of operations and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock.
For purposes of our impairment evaluation, the reporting units are our operating brands
identified in Note 11. Goodwill has been assigned to the reporting units based on prior business
combinations related to the brands. The goodwill impairment evaluation is performed in two steps.
The first step is intended to determine if potential impairment exists and is performed by
comparing each reporting units fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the
carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill is considered
potentially impaired and we must complete the second step of the testing to determine the amount of
any
50

THE MENS WEARHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
impairment. The second step requires an allocation of the reporting units first step estimated
fair value to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in the same manner as if
the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the estimated
fair value over the amounts allocated to the individual assets and liabilities represents the
implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of goodwill is
less than the recorded goodwill, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference.
In our step one process, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combined
income and market comparable approach. Our income approach uses projected future cash flows that
are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital analysis that reflects current market
conditions. The market comparable approach primarily considers market price multiples of
comparable companies and applies those price multiples to certain key drivers of the reporting
unit. We engage an independent valuation firm to assist us in estimating the fair value of our
reporting units.
Management judgment is a significant factor in the goodwill impairment evaluation process.
The computations require management to make estimates and assumptions. Critical assumptions that
are used as part of these evaluations include:
| The potential future cash flows of the reporting unit. The income approach relies on the timing and estimates of future cash flows. The projections use managements estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in revenue, gross margin and expense. The cash flows are based on the Companys most recent forecast and business plans and various growth rates have been assumed for years beyond the current business plan period. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in our 2009 impairment evaluation are reasonable; however, variations in the assumptions and rates could result in significantly different estimates of fair value. | ||
| Selection of an appropriate discount rate. The income approach requires the selection of an appropriate discount rate, which is based on a weighted average cost of capital analysis. The discount rate is affected by changes in short-term interest rates and long-term yield as well as variances in the typical capital structure of marketplace participants. Given current economic conditions, it is possible that the discount rate will fluctuate in the near term. The weighted average cost of capital used to discount the cash flows ranged from 12.0% to 13.0% for the 2009 analysis. | ||
| Selection of comparable companies within the industry. For purposes of the market comparable approach, valuations were determined by calculating average price multiples of relevant key drivers from a group of companies that are comparable to the reporting units being analyzed and applying those price multiples to the key drivers of the reporting unit. While the market price multiple is not an assumption, a presumption that it provides an indicator of the value of the reporting unit is inherent in the valuation. The determination of the market comparable also involves a degree of judgment. Earnings multiples of 5.3 to 8.4 were used for the 2009 analysis. |
As discussed above, the fair values of reporting units in 2009 were determined using a
combined income and market comparable approach. We believe these two approaches are appropriate
valuation techniques and we generally weight the two values equally as an estimate of reporting
unit fair value for the purposes of our impairment testing. However, we may weigh one value more
heavily than the other when conditions merit doing so. The fair value derived from the weighting
of these two methods provided appropriate valuations that, in aggregate, reasonably reconciled to
our market capitalization, taking into account observable control premiums. Therefore, we used the
valuations in evaluating goodwill for possible impairment and determined that none of our goodwill
was impaired.
The goodwill impairment evaluation process requires management to make estimates and assumptions
with regard to the fair value of the reporting units. Actual values may differ significantly from
these judgments, particularly if there are significant adverse changes in the operating environment
for our reporting units. Sustained declines in the Companys market capitalization could also
increase the risk of goodwill impairment. Such occurrences could result in future goodwill
impairment charges that would, in turn, negatively impact the
Companys results of operations; however, any such goodwill impairments would be non-cash charges
that would not affect our cash flows or compliance with our current debt covenants.
No impairment was identified in fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Tuxedo Rental Product Tuxedo rental product is amortized to cost of sales based
on the cost of each unit rented. The cost of each unit rented is estimated based on the number of
times the unit is expected to be rented and the average cost of the rental product. Lost, damaged
and retired rental product is also charged to cost of sales. Tuxedo rental product is amortized to
expense generally over a two to three year period. We make assumptions, based primarily on
historical experience and information obtained from tuxedo rental industry sources, as to the
number of times each unit can be rented. Amortization expense was $37.2 million, $38.2 million and
$42.1 million for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Self-Insurance We self-insure significant portions of our workers compensation and employee
medical costs. We estimate our liability for future payments under these programs based on
historical experience and various assumptions as to participating employees, health care costs,
number of claims and other factors, including industry trends and information provided to us by our
insurance broker. We also use actuarial estimates. If the number of claims or the costs
associated with those claims were to increase significantly over our estimates, additional charges
to earnings could be necessary to cover required payments.
Sabbatical Leave We recognize compensation expense associated with a sabbatical leave or
other similar benefit arrangement over the requisite service period during which an employee earns
the benefit. We adopted the provisions of the authoritative guidance regarding accounting for
sabbatical leave and other similar benefits at the beginning of fiscal 2007 through a cumulative
effect adjustment to retained earnings which resulted in an additional accrued liability of $8.2
million, additional deferred tax assets of $3.2 million and a reduction to retained earnings of
$5.0 million. The accrued liability for sabbatical leave, which is included in accrued expenses
and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, was $8.9 million and $10.0
million as of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax liabilities or assets are established for temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting bases and subsequently adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences reverse. The deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a
valuation allowance to the extent future realization of those tax benefits is uncertain.
The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than
not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from
such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax
positions are recognized in income tax expense. See Note 5 for further information regarding
income taxes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
other current liabilities and long-term debt. Management estimates that, as of January 30, 2010
and January 31, 2009, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to
the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments. The investments classified as
short-term investments at January 31, 2009 are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices
for such financial instruments. The fair values of long-term debt approximate their carrying
amounts as of January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, based upon terms available to us for
borrowings with similar arrangements and remaining maturities. Refer to Note 9 for additional
disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

Revenue Recognition Clothing product revenue is recognized at the time of sale and delivery
of merchandise, net of actual sales returns and a provision for estimated sales returns, and
excludes sales taxes. Revenues from tuxedo rental, alteration and other services are recognized
upon completion of the services.
We present all non-income government-assessed taxes (sales, use and value added taxes)
collected from our customers and remitted to governmental agencies on a net basis (excluded from
net sales) in our consolidated financial statements. The government-assessed taxes are recorded in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities until they are remitted to the government agency.
Gift Cards and Gift Card Breakage Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a
liability and are recognized as net sales from products and services when the cards are redeemed.
Our gift cards do not have an expiration date. Prior to the second quarter of 2009, all unredeemed
gift card proceeds were reflected as a liability until escheated in accordance with applicable laws
and we did not recognize any income from unredeemed gift cards. During the second quarter of 2009,
we entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party who assumed our liability for unredeemed
gift cards that had not yet reached their statutory escheatment term. As a result of this
agreement, we are no longer subject to certain third-party claims for unredeemed gift cards.
Accordingly, beginning with the second quarter of 2009, we recognize income from breakage of gift
cards when the likelihood of redemption of the gift card is remote. We determine our gift card
breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. Based on this historical information, the
likelihood of a gift card remaining unredeemed can be determined 36 months after the gift card is
issued. At that time, breakage income is recognized for those cards for which the likelihood of
redemption is deemed to be remote and for which there is no legal obligation for us to remit the
value of such unredeemed gift cards to any relevant jurisdictions. Gift card breakage income is
recorded as other operating income and is classified as a reduction of Selling, general and
administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of earnings. Pretax breakage income,
including a cumulative adjustment of $3.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009, of $5.0
million ($3.3 million net of tax or $0.06 per diluted earnings per common share) was recognized
during fiscal 2009. Gift card breakage estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Loyalty Program We maintain a customer loyalty program in our Mens Wearhouse, Mens
Wearhouse and Tux and Moores stores in which customers receive points for purchases. Points are
equivalent to dollars spent on a one-to-one basis, excluding any sales tax dollars. Upon reaching
500 points, customers are issued a $50 rewards certificate which they may redeem for purchases at
our Mens Wearhouse, Mens Wearhouse and Tux or Moores stores. Generally, reward certificates
earned must be redeemed no later than six months from the date of issuance. We accrue the
estimated costs of the anticipated certificate redemptions when the certificates are issued and
charge such costs to cost of goods sold. Redeemed certificates are recorded as markdowns when
redeemed and no revenue is recognized for the redeemed certificate amounts. The estimate of costs
associated with the loyalty program requires us to make assumptions related to the cost of product
or services to be provided to customers when the certificates are redeemed as well as redemption
rates.
Vendor Allowances Vendor allowances received are recognized as a reduction of the cost of
the merchandise purchased.
Shipping and Handling Costs All shipping and handling costs for product sold are recognized
as cost of goods sold.
Operating Leases Operating leases relate primarily to stores and generally contain rent
escalation clauses, rent holidays, contingent rent provisions and occasionally leasehold
incentives. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease, which is generally five to ten years based on the initial lease term plus first
renewal option periods that are reasonably assured. Rent expense for stores is included in cost of
sales as a part of occupancy cost and other rent is included in selling general and administrative
expenses. The lease terms commence when we take possession with the right to control use of the
leased premises and, for stores, is generally 60 days prior to the date rent payments begin.
Rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a
construction period are recognized as rental expense. For fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, pre-opening
rents included in the consolidated statement of earnings were approximately $0.6 million, $1.4
million and $2.3 million, respectively.
53

THE MENS WEARHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Deferred rent that results from recognition of rent expense on a straight-line basis is
included in other liabilities. Landlord incentives received for reimbursement of leasehold
improvements are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the
term of the lease. Contingent rentals are generally based on percentages of sales and are
recognized as store rent expense as they accrue.
Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or, in the case of media production
costs, when the commercial first airs. Advertising expenses were $82.0 million, $77.0 million and
$73.8 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
New Store Costs Promotion and other costs associated with the opening of new stores are
expensed as incurred.
Store Closures and Relocations Costs associated with store closures or relocations are
charged to expense when the liability is incurred. When we close or relocate a store, we record a
liability for the present value of estimated unrecoverable cost, which is substantially made up of
the remaining net lease obligation.
Share-Based Compensation In recognizing share-based compensation, we follow the provisions
of the authoritative guidance regarding share-based awards. This guidance establishes fair value
as the measurement objective in accounting for stock awards and requires the application of a fair
value based measurement method in accounting for compensation cost, which is recognized over the
requisite service period.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on
the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock and deferred stock units is determined based
on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Companys common stock on the date of
grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service period. For grants that are subject to graded vesting over a
service period, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for
the entire award.
Share-based compensation expense recognized for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $10.2 million,
$9.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Total income tax benefit recognized in net earnings
for share-based compensation arrangements was $3.9 million, $3.8 million and $3.2 million for
fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Refer to Note 7 for additional disclosures regarding
share-based compensation.
Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Shareholders equity
is translated at applicable historical exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are
translated at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are
reported as a separate component of shareholders equity.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during the period
presented that result from transactions and other economic events other than transactions with
shareholders.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued a standard regarding the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification)
and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This standard identifies
the source of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity
with GAAP in the United States. In addition, this standard establishes the FASB Codification as
the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities
in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. All guidance contained in the
Codification carries an equal level of authority. This standard was effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of
this standard did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows, but will affect our financial reporting process by eliminating all references to
pre-codification standards. As of the effective date of this standard, the Codification superseded
all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered,
non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In May 2009, the FASB issued a standard regarding accounting for subsequent events. This
standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This standard is effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB issued an accounting
standards update regarding accounting for subsequent events, which eliminated the requirement to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in the financial statements.
The accounting standards update was effective upon its final issuance. The adoption of the
standard and the accounting standards update did not affect our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance regarding accounting by lessees for maintenance
deposits. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance concluded
that all maintenance deposits within its scope should be accounted for as a deposit and expensed or
capitalized in accordance with the lessees maintenance accounting policy. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance for determining whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities, which provides that unvested
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents
(whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of
earnings per common share pursuant to the two-class method. The guidance is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those years. All prior period earnings per common share data presented shall be adjusted
retrospectively. Early application of this guidance was prohibited. We adopted this guidance on
February 1, 2009. We calculated basic and diluted earnings per common share under both the
two-class method and the treasury stock method for fiscal 2009, noting no significant difference on
the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations. This guidance has not been applied
to prior years as the impact is immaterial. Refer to Note 3 for earnings per common share
disclosures.
In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance which deferred the effective date of the FASB
statement regarding fair value measurements for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those
fiscal years for items within the scope of this guidance. We adopted this guidance for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on February 1, 2009. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact to our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. Refer to Note 9 for fair value measurement disclosures.

2. ACQUISITION
On April 9, 2007, we completed the acquisition of After Hours, a mens formalwear chain in the
United States with 509 stores operating under After Hours Formalwear and Mr. Tux store fronts. As
a result of the acquisition of After Hours, the consolidated statement of earnings and consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year ended February 2, 2008 include the results of operations and
cash flows, respectively, of After Hours beginning April 10, 2007. In addition, the consolidated
balance sheet as of February 2, 2008 includes estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date for After Hours. During the first quarter of
2008, we completed our assessment and purchase price allocation of the fair values of the acquired
After Hours assets and liabilities assumed.
The Company entered into a marketing agreement with Davids Bridal, Inc., the nations largest
bridal retailer, in connection with the acquisition of the rental stores in fiscal 2007. As a
result, we have a preferred relationship with Davids Bridal, Inc. with respect to our rental
operations.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of
After Hours from Federated Department Stores, Inc. in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of
$100.0 million, adjusted for certain items, primarily customer cash deposits retained by Federated
on rentals to be completed after closing. The total net cash consideration paid after these
adjustments and other acquisition costs was approximately $69.8 million. The stores were
re-branded to MW Tux after the acquisition and, during the first quarter of 2009, were renamed to
Mens Wearhouse and Tux.

liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
As described in Note 1, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, we adopted the FASBs guidance
regarding the determination of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are
participating securities on February 1, 2009. Our unvested restricted stock and deferred stock
units contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, and thus are participating securities
requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per common share. The two-class method is an
earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per common share for each class of common
stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in
undistributed earnings. We calculated basic and diluted earnings per common share under both the
two-class method and the treasury stock method for fiscal 2009, noting no significant difference on
the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations. This guidance has not been applied
to prior years as the impact is immaterial.
Basic earnings per common share is determined using the two-class method and is computed by
dividing net earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the more dilutive
earnings per common share amount calculated using the treasury stock method for fiscal years 2008
and 2007 and the two-class method for fiscal 2009.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share
(in thousands, except per share amounts). Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed
using the actual net earnings available to common shareholders and the actual weighted-average
common shares outstanding rather than the rounded numbers presented within our consolidated
statement of earnings and the accompanying notes. As a result, it may not be possible to
recalculate earnings per common share in our consolidated statement of earnings and the
accompanying notes.

For fiscal 2009, 1.0 million anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of
diluted earnings per common share. For fiscal 2008 and 2007, 1.2 million and 45 thousand
anti-dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
common share, respectively.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a group of banks,
which was last amended on February 2, 2007, provides for a total senior secured revolving credit
facility of $200.0 million, which can be expanded to $250.0 million upon additional lender
commitments, that matures on February 11, 2012. The Credit Agreement also provided our Canadian
subsidiaries with a senior secured term loan used to fund the repatriation of US$74.7 million of
Canadian earnings in January 2006 under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Canadian term
loan matures on February 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement is secured by the stock of certain of our
subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement has several borrowing and interest rate options including the
following indices: (i) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate or the
federal funds rate plus 0.5%) or (ii) LIBO rate or (iii) CDO rate. Advances under the Credit
Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest
rate margin up to 1.125%. The Credit Agreement also provides for fees applicable to unused
commitments ranging from 0.100% to 0.175%. As of January 30, 2010, there was US$43.5 million
outstanding under the Canadian term loan with an effective interest rate of 1.1%, and no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial covenants, including the
requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. The restrictive provisions in the Credit
Agreement reflect an overall covenant structure that is generally representative of a commercial
loan made to an investment-grade company. Our debt, however, is not rated, and we have not sought,
and are not seeking, a rating of our debt. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit
Agreement as of January 30, 2010.
Tightened conditions in the U.S. and global credit markets have made it difficult for many
businesses to obtain financing on acceptable terms. If these market conditions continue or worsen,
it may be more difficult for us to renew or increase our credit facility.
We utilize letters of credit primarily to secure inventory purchases and as collateral for
workers compensation claims. At January 30, 2010, letters of credit totaling approximately $12.3
million were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under our Credit Agreement at January
30, 2010 were $187.7 million.

No provision for U.S. income taxes or Canadian withholding taxes has been made on the
cumulative undistributed earnings of Moores (approximately $70.3 million at January 30, 2010). The
potential deferred tax liability associated with these earnings, net of foreign tax credits
associated with the earnings, is estimated to be zero.

million classified as other non-current liabilities. At January 31, 2009, we had net deferred tax
assets of $10.1 million with $11.8 million classified as other current assets, $1.0 million
classified as other non-current assets and $2.7 million classified as other non-current
liabilities. A valuation allowance of $1.4 million was established and included in net deferred
tax assets at January 30, 2010 based on our assumptions about our ability to utilize foreign tax
credits generated in fiscal 2009 before such credits expire.

In June 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes. We adopted this authoritative guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, which
resulted in a $1.1 million increase to our liability for uncertain tax positions. The increase was
recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.
In accordance with the guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we
classify uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid
within one year and recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense. As of January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, the total amount of accrued interest related
to uncertain tax positions was $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Amounts charged to
operations for interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters were $0.4 million, $0.5
million and $0.6 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Of the $7.1 million in unrecognized tax benefits as of January 30, 2010, $4.8 million, if
recognized, would reduce our income tax expense and effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible
that there could be a net reduction in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits of up to $1.0
million in the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to routine compliance examinations on tax matters by various tax
jurisdictions in the ordinary course of business. Tax years 2005 through 2009 are open to such
examinations. Our tax jurisdictions include the United States and Canada and their states,
provinces and other political subdivisions. A number of state examinations are ongoing. As of
January 30, 2010, we cannot reasonably determine the timing or outcomes of these examinations.
At January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, we had $23.6 million and $18.2 million,
respectively, of federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards which will begin to
expire in fiscal 2027. It is more likely than not that we can fully realize the NOL carryforwards
in future years. We also had $4.4 million of foreign tax credit (FTC) carryforwards at January
30, 2010 which will expire in fiscal 2019. A valuation allowance of $1.4 million was established
for the potential limited utilization of the FTC carryforwards.

Dividends
Cash dividends paid were approximately $14.7 million, $14.6 million and $12.4
million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In fiscal 2009, a dividend of $0.07 per
share was declared in the first, second and third quarters and a dividend of $0.09 per share was
declared in the fourth quarter, for an annual dividend of $0.30 per share. A dividend of $0.07 per
share was declared in each quarter of fiscal 2008, for an annual dividend of $0.28 per share. In
fiscal 2007, a dividend of $0.06 per share was declared in the first, second and third quarters and
a dividend of $0.07 per share was declared in the fourth quarter, for an annual dividend of $0.25
per share.
The cash dividend of $0.09 per share declared by our Board of Directors in January 2010 is
payable on March 26, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 16, 2010. The dividend payout is
approximately $4.8 million and is included in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities as of January 30, 2010.
Stock Repurchase Program
In January 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program
of our common stock, which superseded any remaining previous authorizations. During fiscal 2007,
we repurchased under the January 2006 program 1,063,200 shares at a cost of $50.1 million in open
market transactions and 8,290 shares at a cost of $0.3 million in private transactions for a total
of 1,071,490 shares at an average price of $47.06. In August 2007, the Board of Directors approved
a replenishment of the share repurchase program to $100.0 million by authorizing $90.3 million to
be added to the remaining $9.7 million of the then current program. During the remainder of fiscal
2007, 1,913,700 shares at a cost of $55.7 million were purchased in open market transactions under
the August 2007 replenishment at an average price of $29.10.
No shares were repurchased under the August 2007 authorization during fiscal 2009 or 2008. At
January 30, 2010, the remaining balance available under the August 2007 authorization was $44.3
million.
During fiscal 2009, 7,292 shares at a cost of $0.1 million were repurchased at an average
price per share of $12.29 in a private transaction to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising
upon the vesting of certain restricted stock. During fiscal 2008, 6,728 shares at a cost of $0.2
million were repurchased at an average price per share of $23.13 in a private transaction to
satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon the vesting of certain restricted stock.

conversion rights, voting rights and sinking fund provisions of those shares without any further
vote or act by Company shareholders. There was no issued preferred stock as of January 30, 2010
and January 31, 2009.
Stock Plans
We have adopted the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (formerly known as the 1996 Stock Option
Plan) (1996 Plan) which, as amended, provides for an aggregate of up to 2,775,000 shares of our
common stock (or the fair market value thereof) with respect to which stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units and performance based awards may be
granted to full-time key employees (excluding certain officers); the 1998 Key Employee Stock Option
Plan (1998 Plan) which, as amended, provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 3,150,000
shares of our common stock to full-time key employees (excluding certain officers); and the 2004
Long-Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan) which, as amended, provides for an aggregate of up to
2,110,059 shares of our common stock (or the fair market value thereof) with respect to which stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units and performance based
awards may be granted to full-time key employees and to non-employee directors of the Company. No
awards may be granted pursuant to the plans after the end of ten years following the effective date
of such plan; provided, however, no awards may be granted pursuant to the 1996 Plan on or after
March 29, 2014, which is ten years following its amended and restated effective date. No awards
have been available for grant under the 1998 Plan since February 2008. Options granted under these
plans must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant.
In fiscal 1992, we adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (Director Plan) which,
as amended, provides for an aggregate of up to 251,250 shares of our common stock with respect to
which stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards may be granted to
non-employee directors of the Company. In fiscal 2001, the period during which awards may be
granted under the Director Plan was extended to February 23, 2012. Options granted under this plan
must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. In fiscal 2008, the 2004 Plan was amended
and restated to allow non-employee directors of the Company to receive awards under the 2004 Plan.
All grants to non-employee directors are now issued under the 2004 Plan, as amended, and are
subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan.
Options granted under these Plans vest annually in varying increments over a period from one
to ten years. Under the 1996 Plan and the 2004 Plan, options may not be issued at a price less
than 100% of the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant. Under the 1996 Plan and the
2004 Plan, the vesting, transferability restrictions and other applicable provisions of any
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units or performance based
awards will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, in the case
of awards to non-employee directors, the Board of Directors of the Company. Grants of deferred
stock units generally vest over a period from one to three years; however, certain grants vest
annually at varying increments over a period up to ten years.

deferred stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors of the Company under the Director Plan
and the 2004 Plan vest one year after the date of grant.
As of January 30, 2010, 1,154,904 shares were available for grant under existing
plans and 3,303,942 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance.

During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, 140,322, 730,225, and 118,000 stock options, respectively,
were granted at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $7.22, $7.93, and $17.46, respectively.
The fair value of options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model using the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The
expected term represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding after their
grant date. The dividend yield is based on the average of the annual dividend divided by the
market price of our common stock at the time of declaration. The total intrinsic value of options
exercised during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.5 million, $0.5 million and $9.8 million,
respectively. As of January 30, 2010, we have unrecognized compensation expense related to
nonvested stock options of approximately $6.2 million which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 3.1 years.

Retirement and Stock Purchase Plans
We have a defined contribution Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which provides eligible
employees with future retirement benefits. Contributions to the ESOP are made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. No contributions were charged to operations in fiscal 2009 or 2008.
During fiscal 2007, contributions charged to operations were $1.0 million. In October 2009, the
Board of Directors of the Company approved the termination of the ESOP, effective as of October 15,
2009. Each participant and former participant in the ESOP who has an account balance under the
ESOP on January 1, 2009 which was not fully vested on that date will become fully vested in the
amount credited to their account under the ESOP together with any amounts thereafter allocated and
credited to such account prior to its distribution. We do not expect the termination of the ESOP
to significantly affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have a 401(k) savings plan which allows eligible employees to save for retirement on a tax
deferred basis. Employer matching contributions under the 401(k) savings plan are made based on a
formula set by the Board of Directors from time to time. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007,
Company matching contributions for the plan charged to operations were $0.4 million, $1.3 million
and $2.6 million, respectively.
In 1998, we adopted an Employee Stock Discount Plan (ESDP) which allows employees to
authorize after-tax payroll deductions to be used for the purchase of up to 2,137,500 shares of our
common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of
the offering period or the fair market value of our common stock on the last day of the offering
period. We make no contributions to this plan but pay all brokerage, service and other costs
incurred. Effective for offering periods beginning July 1, 2002, the plan was amended so that a
participant may not purchase more than 125 shares during any calendar quarter.
The fair value of ESDP shares is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in the
quarter that the purchase occurs with the following weighted average assumptions for each
respective period:
Fiscal Year | ||||||||||||

During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, employees purchased 138,360, 147,991 and 66,764 shares,
respectively, under the ESDP, the weighted-average fair value of which was $14.36, $14.38 and
$32.83 per share, respectively. We recognized approximately $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.8
million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESDP for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. As of January 30, 2010, 1,177,500 shares were reserved for future issuance under the
ESDP.

million, $2.6 million and $2.3 million for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Pretax
amortization expense associated with intangible assets at January 30, 2010 is estimated to be
approximately $1.1 million for the fiscal year 2010, $0.5 million for the fiscal year 2011, $0.4
million for the fiscal year 2012, $0.3 million for the fiscal year 2013 and $0.2 million for fiscal
2014.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy,
categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy can be described as follows:
Level 1- observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than the
quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3-
unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity
to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. At
January 30, 2010, we had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis.
Effective February 1, 2009, we adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB for
non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During
fiscal 2009, we had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a
non-recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition, except as it relates to long-lived
asset impairment.
67
Table of Contents
THE MENS WEARHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and identifiable intangibles with finite
useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the asset carrying amount
exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair values of long-lived assets held-for-use are
based on our own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset and on observable market data, when available. We classify these measurements as Level 3
within the fair value hierarchy.
Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level at which cash flows are
identifiable, which is generally at a store level. Fair value is determined using an income
approach, which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset.
Estimating future cash flows requires us to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including
forecasting future sales, costs and useful lives of assets. Significant judgment is also involved
in selecting the appropriate discount rate to be applied in determining the estimated fair value of
an asset. The discount rate is commensurate with the risk that selected market participants would
assign to the estimated cash flows. The selected market participants represent a group of other
retailers with a store footprint similar to ours.
The following table presents the non-financial assets measured at estimated fair value on a
non-recurring basis and any resulting realized losses included in earnings. Because long-lived
assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, certain carrying amounts and fair value
measurements presented in the table may reflect values at earlier measurement dates and may no
longer represent the fair values at January 30, 2010.

10. MANUFACTURING FACILITY CLOSURE
On March 3, 2008, we announced that Golden Brand Clothing (Canada) Ltd., an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, intended to close its Montreal, Quebec-based manufacturing
facility. The facility was closed on July 11, 2008.
In fiscal 2008, we recognized pretax costs of $10.0 million for closure of the facility,
including $6.6 million for severance payments, $1.1 million for the write-off of fixed assets, $1.6
million for lease termination payments and $0.7 million for other costs related to closing the
facility. These charges are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our
consolidated statement of earnings. No charges were recognized during fiscal 2009. Net cash
payments of $1.0 million and $7.2 million, related to the closure of the facility were made in
fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The payments made in fiscal 2009 and the accrued balance of
$0.1 million at January 30, 2010 for closure of the facility relate to the remaining lease
termination payments which will be paid over the remaining term of the lease through February 2010.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease commitments
We lease retail business locations, office and warehouse facilities, copier equipment and
automotive equipment under various noncancelable capital and operating leases expiring in various
years through 2027. Rent expense for operating leases for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $158.7
million, $158.5 million and $150.0 million, respectively, and includes contingent rentals of $0.3
million, $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Sublease rentals of $0.7 million were
received in fiscal 2009 and in fiscal 2008. Sublease rentals of $0.1 million were received in
fiscal 2007. The total minimum future rentals to be received under noncancelable subleases as of
January 30, 2010 are $1.3 million. Minimum future rental payments under noncancelable capital and
operating leases as of January 30, 2010 for each of the next five years and in the aggregate are as

Leases on retail business locations specify minimum rentals plus common area maintenance
charges and possible additional rentals based upon percentages of sales. Most of the retail
business location leases provide for renewal options at rates specified in the leases. In the
normal course of business, these leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases.
In February 2010, we entered into several 60-month noncancelable capital leases for certain
automotive equipment used for product distribution. Total minimum future rental payments under
these leases, excluded from the table above, are approximately $1.5 million, including $0.3 million
in interest, resulting in a net capital lease obligation of $1.2 million. The minimum future
rental payments under these leases, which are excluded from the table above, are approximately $0.3
million for each of the fiscal years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and none thereafter.
At January 30, 2010, the gross capitalized balance and the accumulated amortization
balance of our capital lease assets was $4.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, resulting in a
net capitalized value of $2.5 million. At January 31, 2009, the gross capitalized balance and the
accumulated amortization balance of our capital lease assets was $4.2 million and $2.5 million,
respectively, resulting in a net capitalized value of $1.7 million. Amortization expense was $1.0
million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is included
in depreciation expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. These assets are included in
furniture, fixtures and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred liability
balance of these capital lease assets is included in deferred taxes and other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet.

Legal matters
On October 8, 2009, the Company was named in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The case
is styled Material Yard Workers Local 1175 Benefit Funds, et al. v. The Mens Wearhouse, Inc., Case
No. 4:09-cv-03265. The class period alleged in the complaint runs from March 7, 2007 to January 9,
2008. The primary allegations are that the Company issued false and misleading press releases
regarding its guidance for fiscal year 2007 on various occasions during the alleged class period.
The complaint seeks damages based on the decline in the Companys stock price following the
announcement of lowered guidance on Oct. 10, 2007, Nov. 28, 2007, and Jan. 9, 2008. The case is in
its early stages and discovery has not begun. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit
and intends to mount a vigorous defense; we are unable to determine the likely outcome at this
time.
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental
to the conduct of our business. Management believes that none of these matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and
reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our
principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by our Board of Directors,
management and other personnel, 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. 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of the end of our most recent fiscal year. In making this assessment, our management used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in
Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on such assessment, management concluded that, as
of January 30, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those
criteria.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of January 30, 2010 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public
accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in this report, as
stated in their report dated March 31, 2010, which follows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc.
Houston, Texas
The Mens Wearhouse, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of The Mens Wearhouse, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) 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 Companys 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 Managements Annual Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and
other personnel 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 companys 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
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the 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, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of January 30, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of
and for the year ended January 30, 2010 of the Company and our report dated March 31, 2010
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.
