Fiscal 2013 Performance Highlights
Fiscal 2013 was another year of record performance for our company. We outperformed the retail industry and
gained market share, demonstrating the structural advantage of our multi-brand, multi-channel platform.
Net revenues increased to $4.388 billion;
Diluted earnings per share reached $2.82;
Direct-to-customer net revenues grew 13.1% and generated 48% of total net revenues in fiscal 2013
versus 46% in fiscal 2012; and
Return of over $350 million to our stockholders through stock repurchases and dividends.
At the same time, we executed our strategic plan, investing in our brands and the supporting infrastructure to
ensure sustainable long-term growth both domestically and around the world. Highlights of our fiscal 2013
achievements include:
Growth in our brands – Comparable brand revenue growth across our business in fiscal 2013 was 8.8%,
on top of 6.1% growth in fiscal 2012. Our exclusive products, great design, lifestyle positioning, and
accessible price points are allowing us to lead the market.
Global expansion and new business development – We entered Australia and the United Kingdom with
company-owned stores and fully enabled e-commerce and distribution capabilities, expanded our
business in the Middle East through our franchise partner, and secured a new franchise partner in the
Philippines. Our new businesses – Rejuvenation and Mark and Graham – continue to develop, and we
believe are bringing new customers to these brands.
Further regionalization of our domestic supply chain – We insourced furniture delivery hubs in three
geographies and further regionalized our retail fulfillment capabilities. We also expanded our U.S.
