As a public company we are committed to returning value to stockholders. This philosophy, combined with our
confidence in our future and our strong financial performance, resulted in our recent announcement of a 41%
increase in our dividend and a $750 million, three-year stock repurchase program, which will provide the largest
return of cash to our stockholders in the history of our company.
I want to thank you for believing in our vision. As a team, we are committed to delivering on our promise of
continuous improvement in all that we do. We are all owners in every brand, every channel, and every area of
expertise. We are shopkeepers, merchants, sales associates, website managers, catalog creators, chefs, designers,
buyers, technologists, manufacturers, marketers, and shippers—all over the world. We are proud to be Williams-
Sonoma, Inc.
Laura J. Alber
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
