See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 4 7 THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-- Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Except for those discussed below, there have been no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company during the periods presented. For a description of these policies, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2001. Certain July 29, 2000 balances have been reclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year. Accounting Change - The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended, on February 4, 2001. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, the Company recorded a cumulative loss adjustment of $0.5 million ($0.3 million, net of tax) in accumulated other comprehensive income related primarily to the unrealized losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which were designated as cash-flow hedging instruments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two new pronouncements: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 is effective as follows: a) use of the pooling-of-interest method is prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001; and b) the provisions of SFAS 141 apply to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001 (that is, the date of the acquisition is July 2001 or later). There are also transition provisions that apply to business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 that were accounted for by the purchase method. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 for all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entity's statement of financial position at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and has not adopted such provisions in its August 4, 2001 consolidated financial statements. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE-- Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and net earnings. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution which would have occurred if additional shares were issued for stock options exercised under the treasury stock method. 3. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING The Company's policy is to enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize foreign currency exposure related to forecasted purchases of certain inventories. Under SFAS 133, such contracts have been designated as and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The settlement terms of the forward contracts, including amount, currency and maturity, correspond with payment terms for the merchandise inventories. As a result, there is no hedge ineffectiveness to be reflected in earnings. At August 4, 2001, the Company had 26 contracts maturing in varying increments to purchase an aggregate notional amount of $20.4 million in foreign currency, maturing at various dates through September 2002. The changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts are matched to inventory purchases by period and are recognized in earnings as such inventory is sold. The Company expects to recognize in earnings through August 3, 2002 approximately $0.7 million, net of tax, of existing net losses presently deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income. 5 8 4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS The Company's comprehensive income, which encompasses net earnings, currency translation adjustments, cumulative effect of accounting change and changes in derivative fair values, is as follows (in thousands):

The Company paid cash during the first two quarters of 2000 of $1.7 million for interest and $27.5 million for taxes, compared with $1.4 million for interest and $26.6 million for taxes during the first two quarters of 2001. The Company had non-cash investing and financing activities resulting from the issuance of treasury stock to the employee stock ownership plan of $2.5 million and $2.5 million in the first two quarters of 2000 and 2001, respectively, and from the tax benefit recognized upon exercise of stock options of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 6 9 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL For supplemental information, it is suggested that "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" be read in conjunction with the corresponding section included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2001. References herein to years are to the Company's 52-week or 53-week fiscal year which ends on the Saturday nearest January 31 in the following calendar year. For example, references to "2001" mean the 52-week fiscal year ending February 2, 2002. In large part, changes in net sales and operating results are impacted by the number of stores operating during the fiscal period. The following table presents information with respect to stores in operation during each of the respective fiscal periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended July 29, 2000 and August 4, 2001 The Company's net sales were $297.2 million for the quarter ended August 4, 2001, a $2.6 million or 0.9% increase over the same prior year period. This increase was due primarily to sales resulting from the increased number of stores, offset by decreased sales in stores open prior to fiscal year 2000. Sales from U.S. stores represented 86.7% of total sales in the second quarter of 2001, compared with 86.9% of total sales in the second quarter of 2000. 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 5.6% for the U.S. stores from the same prior year quarter, while comparable store sales for the Canadian stores increased 9.0% from the same prior year quarter. Gross margin decreased 2.1% over the same prior year quarter to $108.3 million in the second quarter of 2001. As a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased from 37.6% in the second quarter of 2000 to 36.4% in the second quarter of 2001. This decrease in gross margin predominantly resulted from an increase in occupancy cost as a percentage of sales and a larger percentage of the sales mix being contributed by our lower margin K&G brand. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased as a percentage of sales from 28.5% for the quarter ended July 29, 2000 to 30.5% for the quarter ended August 4, 2001, and SG&A expenditures increased by $6.9 million to $90.7 million. On an absolute dollar basis, the principal components of SG&A expenses increased primarily due to the Company's growth in number of stores and increased infrastructure support costs. Advertising expense decreased from 5.3% 7 10 to 5.1% of net sales, while store salaries increased from 11.4% to 11.8% of net sales and other SG&A expenses increased from 11.7% to 13.6% of net sales. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2000 to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2001. Weighted average borrowings outstanding increased from $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $64.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, and the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness decreased from 6.8% to 4.9%. The increase in the weighted average borrowings was due primarily to increased borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate was due primarily to decreases in the LIBOR rate. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussion in the following section herein. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 39.8% for the second quarter of 2000 to 39.0% for the second quarter of 2001. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes. Six Months Ended July 29, 2000 and August 4, 2001 The Company's net sales were $601.8 million for the six months ended August 4, 2001, a $19.4 million or 3.3% increase over the same prior year period. This increase was due primarily to sales resulting from the increased number of stores, offset by decreased sales in stores open prior to fiscal year 2000. Sales from U.S. stores represented 88.5% of total sales in the first two quarters of 2001, compared with 88.7% of total sales in the same period of 2000. Comparable store sales decreased 4.9% for the U.S. stores from the same prior year period, while comparable store sales for the Canadian stores increased 8.8% from the same prior year period. Gross margin increased 2.3% over the same prior year period to $220.0 million for the first six months of 2001. As a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased from 36.9% for the first two quarters of 2000 to 36.6% in the first two quarters of 2001. This decrease in gross margin percentage predominantly resulted from an increase in occupancy cost as a percentage of sales and a larger percentage of the sales mix being contributed by our lower margin K&G brand. SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of sales from 28.5% for the first six months of 2000 to 30.1% for the first six months of 2001, and SG&A expenditures increased by $15.3 million to $181.2 million. On an absolute dollar basis, the principal components of SG&A expenses increased primarily due to the Company's growth in number of stores and increased infrastructure support costs. Advertising expense decreased from 5.5% to 4.9% of net sales, while store salaries increased from 11.2% to 11.7% of net sales and other SG&A expenses increased from 11.9% to 13.6% of net sales. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussion in the following section herein. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $0.2 million for the first six months of 2000 to $1.0 million in the first six months of 2001. Weighted average borrowings outstanding increased from $52.6 million in the prior year to $54.1 million in the first two quarters of 2001, and the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness decreased from 6.7% to 5.7%. The increase in the weighted average borrowings was due primarily to increased borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate was due primarily to decreases in the LIBOR rate. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 39.8% for the six months ended July 29, 2000 to 39.0% for the six months ended August 4, 2001. The effective tax rate was higher than the statutory U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes. 8 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital was $337.6 million at August 4, 2001, which is up from $318.6 million at February 3, 2001 and $288.0 million at July 29, 2000. Historically, the Company's working capital has been at its lowest level in January and February, and has increased through November as inventory buildup is financed with long-term borrowings in preparation for the fourth quarter selling season. Net cash used in operating activities was $12.5 million in the first six months of 2000 compared with $45.8 million in the first six months of 2001. These amounts primarily represent net earnings before extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges, offset by increases in inventories and other assets and decreases in payables. Inventories increased $43.1 million and $59.9 million for the two quarters ended July 29, 2000 and August 4, 2001, respectively, due to seasonal inventory buildup and the addition of inventory for new stores and stores expected to be opened in the following quarter. Other assets increased primarily due to increased investment in tuxedo rental merchandise associated with the expansion of this business to 266 Men's Wearhouse stores, as of August 4, 2001, while payables decreased mainly due to income tax payments. Cash used in investing activities was $31.3 million and $41.3 million for the first two quarters of 2000 and 2001, respectively. Cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of capital expenditures relating primarily to stores opened, remodeled or relocated during the period or under construction at the end of the period and infrastructure technology investments. The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks (the "Credit Agreement") that provides for borrowing of up to $125 million through February 5, 2004. Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, the agent's prime rate or the reserve adjusted LIBOR rate plus a varying interest rate margin. The Credit Agreement also provides for fees applicable to unused commitments. In addition, the Company has two Canadian credit facilities which include a revolving credit agreement which provides for borrowings up to Can$30 million (US$20 million) through February 5, 2004 and a term credit agreement under which the Company borrowed Can$75 million (US$50 million) in February 1999. The term credit borrowing is payable in quarterly installments of Can$0.9 million (US$0.6 million) beginning in May 1999, with the remaining unpaid principal payable on February 5, 2004. Covenants and interest rates are substantially similar to those contained in the Company's Credit Agreement. As of August 4, 2001, there was $43.2 million outstanding under the term credit agreement and $48.1 million outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive and financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain a minimum level of net worth and certain financial ratios. The Credit Agreement also prohibits payment of cash dividends on the common stock of the Company. The Company is in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement. Net cash used in financing activities was $6.5 million for the first two quarters of 2000, due mainly to the purchases of treasury stock. Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.3 million for the first two quarters of 2001, due mainly to borrowings on the revolving credit agreement, offset by purchases of treasury stock. In January 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Under this authorization, the Company may purchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions, depending on market price and other considerations. On January 31, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized an expansion of the stock repurchase program for up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. During the first two quarters of 2000 and 2001, the Company repurchased 335,000 and 1,185,000 shares of its common stock under this program at a cost of $7.9 million and $30.4 million, respectively. In December 2000, the Company issued two option contracts under which the contract counterparties had the option to require the Company to purchase an agreed-upon number of shares of its common stock at a specific strike price per share on March 15, 2001 and on June 12, 2001. The Company received premiums, in aggregate, of $0.5 million for issuing these contracts. Both option contracts expired unexercised. The Company anticipates that its existing cash and cash flow from operations, supplemented by borrowings under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund its planned store openings, other capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. 9 12 In connection with the Company's direct sourcing program, the Company may enter into purchase commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency (primarily the Euro). The Company generally enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce the risk of currency fluctuations related to such commitments. The majority of the forward exchange contracts are with five financial institutions. Therefore, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by these parties. However, due to the creditworthiness of these major financial institutions, full performance is anticipated. The Company may also be exposed to market risk as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. This market risk should be substantially offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying transactions. 10 13 ITEM 3 - QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rates and the Canadian dollar/Euro exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to limit exposure to changes in currency exchange rates (see Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Information and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources"). At August 4, 2001, the Company had 26 contracts maturing in varying increments to purchase an aggregate notional amount of $20.4 million in foreign currency, maturing at various dates through September 2002. Unrealized pretax losses on these forward contracts totaled approximately $1.3 million at August 4, 2001. A hypothetical 10% change in applicable August 4, 2001 forward rates could increase or decrease this pretax loss by $2.0 million related to these positions. However, it should be noted that any change in the value of these contracts, whether real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged item. Moores conducts its business in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars has fluctuated over the last ten years. If the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar weakens, then the revenues and earnings of the Company's Canadian operations will be reduced when they are translated to U.S. dollars and the value of the Company's Canadian net assets in U.S. dollars may decline.

OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On May 11, 2001, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego, Cause No. GIC 767223 (the "Suit"). The Suit, which was brought as a purported class action, alleges several causes of action, each based on the factual allegation that the Company advertised and sold men's slacks at a marked price that was exclusive of a hemming fee for the pants. The Suit seeks: (i) permanent and preliminary injunctions against advertising slacks at prices which do not include hemming; (ii) restitution of all funds allegedly acquired by means of any act or practice declared by the Court to be unlawful or fraudulent or to constitute unfair competition under certain California statutes, (iii) prejudgment interest; (iv) compensatory and punitive damages; (v) attorney's fees; and (vi) costs of suit. The Company believes that the Suit is without merit and the allegations are contrary to customary and well recognized and accepted practices in the sale of men's tailored clothing. By letter dated September 10, 2001, the complainant in the lawsuit advised the Company's counsel that the complainant intends to seek to amend the complaint in the Suit to add causes of action based upon the Company's alleged "claims that [it] sell[s] the same garments as department stores at 20% to 30% less." The Company believes that any such added causes of action, if added, would also be without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend the Suit.
