into one reportable segment, retail. The direct-to-customer segment has seven merchandising concepts (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and sells similar products through
our eight direct-mail catalogs (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and six e-commerce websites (williams-sonoma.com, potterybarn.com,
potterybarnkids.com, pbteen.com, westelm.com and holdeverything.com). Management&#146;s expectation is that the overall economics of each of our major concepts within each reportable segment will be similar over time. </FONT></P> <P

Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home). The direct-to-customer segment of our business sells similar products through our eight direct-mail catalogs (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids,
Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and six e-commerce websites (williams-sonoma.com, potterybarn.com, potterybarnkids.com, pbteen.com, westelm.com and holdeverything.com). Based on net revenues in
fiscal 2004, retail net revenues accounted for 57.7% of our business and direct-to-customer net revenues accounted for 42.3% of our business. Based on their contribution to our net revenues in fiscal 2004 (representing over 90%), the core brands in
both retail and direct-to-customer are: Pottery Barn, which sells contemporary tableware and home furnishings; Williams-Sonoma, which sells cookware essentials; and Pottery Barn Kids, which sells stylish children&#146;s furnishings. The following
discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our retail channel, net revenues increased 12.8% to $444.7 million, primarily driven by a 10.6% increase in store
leased square footage and a comparable store sales increase of 4.4%. Net revenues generated in the Pottery Barn, West Elm, Pottery Barn Kids, and Williams-Sonoma brands were the primary contributors to the year-over-year revenue increase.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our direct-to-customer channel, net revenues increased 16.5% to $382.9
million, primarily driven by net revenues generated in the Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen and Williams-Sonoma Home brands. These increases resulted from increases in both electronic direct marketing and catalog page circulation. During the
third quarter, catalog page circulation increased 0.7% despite a 5.3% decrease in actual catalogs circulated. All brands in the direct-to-customer channel delivered positive growth during the quarter, with the exception of the Hold Everything brand.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our core brands, net revenues increased 11.5% in the third quarter, driven
by low double-digit growth in the Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids brands and mid-single digit growth in the Williams-Sonoma brand. Third quarter net revenues in the core brands, however, were negatively impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Prior to
Hurricane Katrina, we had five stores operating in the New Orleans area. All five stores resulted in lost revenues. Two of these five stores were severely damaged, which resulted in both property and inventory write-offs during the quarter. As these
losses were fully insured, the impact of these write-offs was immaterial to our third quarter 2005 financial results. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our emerging brands, which include West Elm, PBteen, Williams-Sonoma Home and Hold Everything, third quarter net revenues increased 46.0%, primarily driven by strong
performance in West Elm, Williams-Sonoma Home and PBteen. In West Elm, the year-over-year net revenue increase was driven by higher catalog circulation and increased e-commerce initiatives, in addition to incremental revenues from new stores. In
Williams-Sonoma Home, the net revenue increase was driven by improved catalog productivity, despite reduced catalog and page circulation, and incremental revenue from the opening of our first three retail stores. In PBteen, the year-over-year net
revenue increase was primarily driven by increased electronic direct marketing and improved catalog productivity. New product offerings and an enhanced lifestyle presentation, despite lower catalog and page circulation, drove these increased
revenues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Operationally in the third quarter, we initiated the first phase of

(including 37 new store openings and the remodeling and expansion of an additional 8 stores) and a comparable store sales increase of 4.4%. This increase was partially offset by the temporary closure of 12 stores and the permanent closure of 4

more than 20% in the previous 12 months and which have been open for at least 12 consecutive months without closure for seven or more consecutive days. Comparable stores exclude new retail concepts until such time as we believe that comparable store
results in those concepts are meaningful to evaluating the performance of the retail strategy. For the third quarter of 2005 and year-to-date 2005, our total comparable store sales excluded the West Elm concept, which had only one store operating
for more than one year. No stores were excluded for the third quarter of 2004 and year-to-date 2004. By measuring the year-over-year sales of merchandise in the stores that have a history of being open for a full comparable 12 months or more, we can
better gauge how the core store base is performing since it excludes store expansions and closings. Percentages represent changes in comparable store sales versus the same period in the prior year. </FONT></P> <P

store sales, including the number, size and location of stores we open, close and expand in any period, the general retail sales environment, consumer preferences and buying trends, changes in sales mix between distribution channels, our ability to
efficiently source and distribute products, changes in our merchandise mix, competition, current local and global economic conditions, the timing of our releases of new merchandise and promotional events, the success of marketing programs, and the
cannibalization of existing store sales by new stores. Among other things, weather conditions can affect comparable store sales because inclement weather can alter consumer behavior or require us to close certain stores temporarily and thus reduce
store traffic. Even if stores are not closed, many customers may decide to avoid going to stores in bad weather. These factors have caused our comparable store sales to fluctuate significantly in the past on an annual, quarterly and monthly basis
and, as a result, we expect that comparable store sales will continue to fluctuate in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

September. We believe this is the general pattern associated with the retail and direct-to-customer industries, and we expect this to continue going forward. In anticipation of our peak season, we hire a substantial number of additional employees in

this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;30, 2005 and in our other public filings. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could differ
materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included in the section titled &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; and elsewhere in this report and in our
other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed substantially, which could cause the
market price of our stock to decline, perhaps significantly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>We must

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing merchandise trends and customer demands. Consumer preferences cannot be
predicted with certainty and may change between selling seasons. Changes in customer preferences and buying trends may also affect our brands differently. If we misjudge either the market for our merchandise or our customers&#146; purchasing habits,
our sales may decline significantly, and we may be required to mark down certain products to sell the resulting excess inventory or to sell such inventory through our outlet stores or other liquidation channels at prices which are significantly
lower than our retail prices, each of which would negatively impact our business and operating results. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, we must manage our inventory effectively and commensurate with customer demand. Much of our inventory is sourced from vendors located outside the U.S. Thus, we usually must order merchandise, and enter
into contracts for the purchase and manufacture of such merchandise, well in advance of the applicable selling season and frequently before trends are known. The extended lead times for many of our purchases may make it difficult for us to respond
rapidly to new or changing trends. Our vendors may also not have the capacity to handle our demands. In addition, the seasonal nature of the specialty home products business requires us to carry a significant amount of inventory prior to peak
selling season. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to misjudgments in the selection and timing of merchandise purchases. If we do not accurately predict our customers&#146; preferences and acceptance levels of our
products, our inventory levels will not be appropriate, and our business and operating results may be negatively impacted. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

number of factors that influence consumer spending, including general economic conditions, disposable consumer income, fuel prices, recession and fears of recession, war and fears of war, inclement weather, consumer debt, conditions in the housing
market, interest rates, sales tax rates and rate increases, inflation, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security generally. These factors may also affect
our various brands and channels differently. Adverse changes in factors affecting discretionary consumer spending could reduce consumer demand for our products, thus reducing our sales and harming our business and operating results. For example, the
recent natural disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina will likely continue to affect consumer spending in the vicinity of the disaster and could continue to affect consumer spending in the U.S. as a whole. </FONT></P> <P

commercially acceptable. For these or other reasons, one or more of our vendors might not adhere to our quality control standards, and we might not identify the deficiency before merchandise ships to our stores or customers. In addition, our vendors
may have difficulty adjusting to our changing demands and growing business. Our vendors&#146; failure to manufacture or import quality merchandise in a timely and effective manner could damage our reputation and brands, and could lead to an increase
in customer litigation against us and an attendant increase in our routine litigation costs. Further, any merchandise that does not meet our quality standards could become subject to a recall, which would damage our reputation and brands, and harm

manufacturers in 38 countries outside of the United States. Approximately 62% of our merchandise purchases were foreign-sourced, primarily from Asia and Europe. Our dependence on foreign vendors means that we may be affected by declines in the
relative value of the U.S. dollar to other foreign currencies. For example, any upward valuation in the Chinese Yuan against the U.S.&nbsp;Dollar results in higher costs to us for those goods that we source from mainland China. Although
substantially all of our foreign purchases of merchandise are negotiated and paid for in U.S. dollars, declines in foreign currencies and currency exchange rates might negatively affect the profitability and business prospects of one or more of our
foreign vendors. This, in turn, might cause such foreign vendors to demand higher prices for merchandise, delay merchandise shipments to us, or discontinue selling to us, any of which could ultimately reduce our sales or increase our costs.

economic and political conditions in foreign countries. These risks and uncertainties include import duties and quotas, concerns over anti-dumping, work stoppages, economic uncertainties (including inflation), foreign government regulations, wars
and fears of war, political unrest, natural disasters and other trade restrictions. We cannot predict whether any of the countries in which our products are currently manufactured or may be manufactured in the future will be subject to trade
restrictions imposed by the U.S. or foreign governments or the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions. Any event causing a disruption or delay of imports from foreign vendors, including the imposition of additional import restrictions,
restrictions on the transfer of funds and/or increased tariffs or quotas, or both, against home-centered items could increase the cost or reduce the supply of merchandise available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition and

attempt to create an unfavorable impression of our sourcing practices or the practices of some of our vendors that could harm our image. If either of these occurs, we could lose customer goodwill and favorable brand recognition, which could

including the number, size and location of stores we open, close and expand in any period, the general retail sales environment, changes in sales mix among distribution channels, our ability to efficiently source and distribute products, changes in
our merchandise mix, competition, current local and global economic conditions, the timing of our releases of new merchandise and promotional events, the success of marketing programs, and the cannibalization of existing store sales by new stores.
Among other things, weather conditions can affect comparable store sales because inclement weather can alter consumer behavior or require us to close certain stores temporarily and thus reduce store traffic. Even if stores are not closed, many
customers may decide to avoid going to stores in bad weather. These factors may cause our comparable store sales results to differ materially from prior periods and from earnings guidance we have provided. For example, the recent natural disaster

comparable store sales may decrease in the future. Our ability to maintain and improve our comparable store sales results depends in large part on maintaining and improving our forecasting of customer demand and buying trends, selecting effective

projections change or prove incorrect, we may be required to record impairment charges on certain of these store locations. If these impairment charges are significant, our results of operations would be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P

expense based on our estimates of future payments which include reserves for estimates of probable settlements of foreign and domestic tax audits. At any one time, many tax years are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of
these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. As a result, we expect that throughout the year there could be ongoing variability in our quarterly tax rates as taxable events occur and
exposures are re-evaluated. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the mix and level of earnings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
