PART I

Item 1. Business.

Nordstrom, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Washington in 1946 as successor to a retail shoe business started in 1901. As of January 31, 2002, the Company operated 80 large specialty stores in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington, selling a wide selection of apparel, shoes and accessories for women, men and children.

The Company also operated 45 stores under the name “Nordstrom Rack” and one clearance store under the name “Last Chance.” The Nordstrom Rack stores purchase merchandise directly from manufacturers, as well as serving, in part, as outlets for clearance merchandise from the Company’s large specialty stores. The Nordstrom Rack stores are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

The Company also operated 2 free-standing shoe stores under the name “Nordstrom” located in Hawaii and 4 Specialty Boutiques in California, New York and Texas under the name “Façonnable”. As a result of the acquisition of Façonnable, S.A. of Nice, France in October 2000, the Company also operated 24 Façonnable boutiques located primarily in Europe. Façonnable is a wholesaler and retailer of high quality men’s and women’s apparel and accessories.

In March 2002, the Company opened three large specialty stores in Durham, North Carolina; Los Angeles, California and Orem, Utah. A new Nordstrom Rack store is scheduled to open in Fresno, California in April 2002. In addition, the Company plans to open Full-line stores in Dulles, Virginia; Des Peres, Missouri; Coral Gables, Florida; Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada as well as Nordstrom Rack stores in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; Ontario, California and Long Beach, California during fiscal 2002.

The west coast and the east coast of the United States are the markets in which the Company has the largest presence. An economic downturn or other significant event within one of these markets may have a material effect on the Company’s operating results.

The Company purchases merchandise from many suppliers, no one of which accounted for more than 2% of 2001 net purchases. The Company believes that it is not dependent on any one supplier, and considers its relations with its suppliers to be satisfactory.

The Company has approximately 92 registered trademarks. The loss or abandonment of the Federally registered names “Nordstrom” or “Façonnable” would materially impact the business of the Company. The loss or abandonment of the Federally registered trademarks “Brass Plum”, “Caslon”, “Classiques Entier” and “Halogen” may impact the business of the Company, but not in a material manner. With the exception of the above mentioned Federally registered trademarks, the loss or abandonment of any particular trademark would have little, if any, impact on the business of the Company.

Due to the Company’s anniversary sale in July and holidays in December, sales are higher in the second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year than in the first and third quarters. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the Company regularly employed on a full or part-time basis an average of approximately 43,000 employees. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, employment increased to approximately 50,000 employees in July, 2001 and 45,000 in December, 2001.

Item 1. Business (continued)

The Company’s business is highly competitive. Its stores compete with other national, regional and local retail establishments within its operating areas which carry similar lines of merchandise, including department stores, specialty stores, boutiques, and mail order and Internet businesses. The Company’s specific competitors vary from market to market. The Company believes the principal methods of competing in its industry include customer service, value, fashion, advertising, store location and depth of selection.

The information required under this item is included in the following section of the Company’s 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, which section is incorporated by reference herein from Exhibit 13.1 of this report:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. In seeking to minimize risk, the Company manages exposure through its regular operating and financing activities. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and is not party to any leveraged financial instruments.

The Company manages interest rate exposure through its mix of fixed and variable rate borrowings. Short-term borrowing and investing activities generally bear interest at variable rates, but because they have maturities of three months or less, the Company believes that the risk of material loss is low, and that the carrying amount approximates fair value.

In addition, the Company has outstanding at January 31, 2002 a variable rate construction loan obligation and $300 million of 8.95% fixed-rate debt converted to variable rate through the use of an interest rate swap. The Company is currently refinancing the construction loan obligation and expects the agreement to close in April 2002 with a fixed interest rate. The interest rate swap reduces interest payments on the Company’s highest fixed-rate debt by taking advantage of the current low interest rates. A shift in future interest rates could adversely affect the amount of interest paid through this swap agreement.

10 of 22

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

The majority of the Company’s revenue, expense and capital expenditures are transacted in United States dollars. However, the Company periodically enters into foreign currency purchase orders for apparel and shoes denominated in Euros. The Company uses forward contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency prices. The amounts of these contracts are immaterial. The use of derivatives is limited to only those financial instruments that have been authorized by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and approved by the Finance Committee.

In addition, the functional currency of Façonnable, S.A. of Nice, France is the Euro. Assets and liabilities of Façonnable are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of the transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates are included in other comprehensive earnings.

The table below presents information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, which consist of debt obligations and interest rate swaps for the year ended January 31, 2002. For debt obligations, the table presents principal amounts, at book value, by maturity date, and related weighted average interest rates, excluding construction loan obligations. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contracts.
