emerging brands and supply chain initiatives, and repurchased over 2.4&nbsp;million shares of our common stock. During the year, we continued to expand the reach of the West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home brands, including the opening of our first
three Williams-Sonoma Home stores, successfully implemented our daily store replenishment program and completed the first phase of our furniture hub in-sourcing strategy in our east coast distribution operations. The successful execution of all of
these initiatives has left us well-positioned to drive our business and to deliver the 2006 financial guidance that we provided today in a separate press release.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

revenues (comprised of both catalog and Internet revenues) increased 13.6% to $1.506 billion in fiscal year 2005 versus $1.326 billion in fiscal year 2004. This year-over-year increase was primarily driven by net revenues generated in the Pottery
Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, West Elm, and Williams-Sonoma brands. All of the brands in the direct-to-customer channel delivered positive growth during the year with the exception of the Hold Everything brand. Internet revenues increased 36.5% to $766.3
million in fiscal year 2005, including the net revenues generated by the Hold Everything e-commerce website, versus $561.2 million in fiscal year 2004. Although the amount of Internet revenues that are incremental to our direct-to-customer channel
cannot be identified precisely, we estimate that approximately 40% of our company-wide non-gift registry Internet revenues are incremental to the direct-to-customer channel and approximately 60% are generated by customers who recently received a

approximately 10 basis point impact of the Hold Everything charge, gross margin expressed as a percentage of net revenues in fiscal year 2005 was 40.7% versus 40.5% in fiscal year 2004. This 20 basis point increase was primarily driven by rate
reductions in shipping and occupancy costs, partially offset by a rate increase in cost of goods sold. The rate reduction in shipping costs was primarily due to the successful refining of our furniture delivery network, including the late-2004
in-sourcing of line-haul management and cost efficiencies gained from our east coast distribution center, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in fuel surcharges. The rate reduction in occupancy expenses was primarily due to sales leverage
in the retail channel, partially offset by increased distribution leased square footage in the direct-to-customer channel. The rate increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the costs associated with the implementation of the daily store
replenishment program in April and May of 2005 and a higher percentage of total Company net revenues being driven by furniture, which generates a lower than average gross margin rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were essentially flat compared to last year as rate reductions in employee benefit costs were substantially offset by higher catalog advertising expenses. Increased paper

opening numbers for Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids include 1 store, 2 stores and 1 store, respectively, in the New Orleans area that are reopening after having been temporarily closed in August 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina.
Remodeled stores are defined as those stores temporarily closed and subsequently reopened due to square footage expansion, store modification, or relocation. Consistent with our definition of comparable stores, remodeled stores are removed from the
comparable store base upon closure if the gross square footage changes by more than 20% or if the store is closed for seven or more consecutive days. </FONT></I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT

May&nbsp;24, 2006 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April&nbsp;26, 2006. The aggregate quarterly dividend is estimated at approximately $11.5 million based on the current number of outstanding common shares. The indicated
annual cash dividend, subject to capital availability, is $0.40 per common share or approximately $46 million in fiscal year 2006 based on the current number of common shares outstanding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

believe it highlights what is unique about our Company &#150; the strength of our brands, the power of our multi-channel strategy, and the competitive advantages we have created with our supply chain network. Reflecting upon the consistency of this
performance, it should be no surprise that we are approaching the future with great confidence &#150; not only from a long-term growth and profit-enhancement perspective, but also from a free cash flow point of view. Based on this confidence, our
strong cash position today, and a projected cash flow that exceeds the funding requirements of our future growth, we believe this is an ideal time to begin returning capital to our shareholders in the form of a quarterly cash dividend, in addition
to our ongoing share repurchase programs.&#148; </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">The share repurchase program
authorizes the purchase of an additional 2&nbsp;million shares of the Company&#146;s common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number
of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or
terminated at any time without prior notice. Between January 2003 and February 2006, the Company repurchased a total of 8,500,000 shares at an approximate cost of $282 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
