first-in, first-out basis, or market, using the retail inventory method. The retail method is
widely used in the retail industry due to its practicality. Under the retail inventory method,
the valuation of inventories at cost and the resulting gross profits are calculated by applying
a calculated cost to retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. The cost of the inventory
reflected on the balance sheet is decreased by charges to cost of sales at the time the retail
value of the inventory is lowered through the use of markdowns, which are reductions in prices
due to customers&#146; perception of value. Hence, earnings are negatively impacted as the
merchandise is marked down prior to sale.</DIV></TD>

held with financial institutions, as well as credit card receivables that settle in fewer than
three days. The Company&#146;s investment in an auction rate security is recorded at fair value using
an income approach valuation model that uses level 3 inputs such as the financial condition of
the issuers of the underlying securities, expectations regarding the next successful auction,
risks in the auction rate securities market and other various assumptions. The Company&#146;s other
types of investments are valued using a market based approach using level 2 inputs such as
prices of similar assets in active markets.

to their fair value of $0.8&nbsp;million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.5&nbsp;million, which

not include any impairment related to the shared service assets as RVI fully reimbursed DSW for

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 4%">The Company periodically evaluates the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, primarily
property and equipment, and finite life intangible assets when events and circumstances warrant
such a review to ascertain if any assets have been impaired. The carrying amount of a long-lived
asset or asset group is considered impaired when the carrying value of the asset or asset group
exceeds the expected future cash flows from the asset or asset group. The Company reviews are
conducted at the lowest identifiable level, which includes a store. The impairment loss
recognized is the excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its fair value,
based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate determined by management. Should
an impairment loss be realized, it will generally be included in cost of sales. The impairment
charges were recorded within the DSW reportable segment.

will expire on July&nbsp;5, 2010. Under this facility, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as
co-borrowers. The facility has borrowing base restrictions and provides for borrowings at
variable interest rates based on LIBOR, the prime rate and the Federal Funds effective rate,
plus a margin. The Company&#146;s obligations under this facility are secured by a lien on
substantially all of its and one of its subsidiary&#146;s personal property and a pledge of its
shares of DSW Shoe Warehouse, Inc. (&#147;DSWSW&#148;). In addition, the secured revolving credit facility
contains usual and customary restrictive covenants relating to the management and the operation
of the business. These covenants, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s ability to grant
liens on its assets, incur additional indebtedness, open or close stores, pay cash dividends and
redeem its stock, enter into transactions with affiliates and merge or consolidate with another
entity. In addition, if at any time the Company utilizes over 90% of its borrowing capacity
under the facility, the Company must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio test set forth in
the facility documents. The Company intends to refinance the credit facility on a long-term
basis. As of October&nbsp;31, 2009 and January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings
and had availability under the facility of $139.2&nbsp;million and $132.3&nbsp;million, respectively. The
Company had outstanding letters of credit of $10.8&nbsp;million and $17.7&nbsp;million, respectively, as
of October&nbsp;31, 2009 and January&nbsp;31, 2009.

DSW stores and dsw.com have been aggregated and are presented as one reportable segment, the DSW
segment, based on their similar economic characteristics, products, production processes, target
customers and distribution methods. The Company has identified such segments based on internal
management reporting and management responsibilities and measures segment profit as gross
profit, which is defined as net sales less cost of sales. All operations are located in the
United States. The goodwill balance of $25.9&nbsp;million outstanding as of October&nbsp;31, 2009 and
January&nbsp;31, 2009 is recorded in the DSW segment related to the DSW stores operating segment. The

business. The Company estimates the range of liability related to pending litigation where the
amount of the range of loss can be estimated. The Company records its best estimate of a loss
when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of
estimated loss, the Company records the most likely estimated liability related to the claim.
In the opinion of management, the amount of any potential liability with respect to current
legal proceedings will not be material to the Company&#146;s results of operations or financial
condition. As additional information becomes available, the Company will assess the potential
liability related to its pending litigation and revise the estimates as needed. Revisions in
its estimates and potential liability could materially impact the Company&#146;s future results of

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) on April&nbsp;1, 2009 (the &#147;2008 Annual Report&#148;). We
base these estimates and judgments on our historical experience and other factors we believe to be
relevant, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The process of determining
significant estimates is fact-specific and takes into account factors such as historical
experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and in some cases, actuarial and
appraisal techniques. We constantly re-evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments
where facts and circumstances dictate. There have been no significant changes to our critical
accounting policies since the 2008 Annual Report.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Total net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 increased 7.6% due to positive comparable
store sales of 0.4%, new DSW stores and increased dsw.com sales. Positive comparable store sales
were driven by an increase in traffic and average unit retail resulting from a strong performance
in the women&#146;s and accessories categories during the third quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales improved 160 basis points for the first nine months of the year as compared to the prior
year. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 80 basis points for the same period
driven by an increase in bonus expense resulting from improved operating results.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We
have continued making investments in our business that are critical to long-term growth, such as
improved information technology systems and new stores. As of October&nbsp;31, 2009, our cash and
short-term investments balance increased to $265.9&nbsp;million and we have no long-term debt.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As of October&nbsp;31, 2009, we operated 306 DSW stores in 39 states, dsw.com and leased shoe
departments in 266 Stein Mart stores, 66 Gordmans stores, 23 Filene&#146;s Basement stores and one
Frugal Fannie&#146;s store. We have two reportable segments, the DSW segment, which includes DSW stores
and dsw.com, and the leased department segment.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In evaluating our results of operations, we refer to a number of key financial and non-financial
measures relating to the performance of our business. Among our key financial measures are net
sales, operating profit and net income. Other measures that we use in evaluating our performance
include number of DSW stores and leased departments and change in comparable stores sales. The
following describes certain line items set forth in our consolidated statement of income:
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Net Sales. </I>We record net sales exclusive of sales tax and net of returns. For comparison purposes,
we define stores and leased departments as comparable or non-comparable. A store&#146;s or leased
department&#146;s sales are included in comparable store sales if the store or leased department has
been in operation at least 14&nbsp;months at the beginning of the fiscal year. Stores and leased
departments are excluded from the comparison in the quarter that they close. Stores that are
remodeled or relocated are excluded from the comparison if there is a material change in the size
of the store or the store is relocated more than one mile out of its area.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Cost of Sales. </I>Our cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise, distribution and warehousing
(including depreciation), store occupancy (excluding depreciation but including impairments),
permanent and point of sale reductions, markdowns and shrinkage.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Operating Expenses. </I>Operating expenses include expenses related to store management and store
payroll costs, advertising, leased department operations, store depreciation and amortization, new
store advertising and other new store costs (which are expensed as incurred) and corporate
expenses. Corporate expenses include expenses related to buying, information technology,
depreciation expense for corporate cost centers, marketing, legal, finance, outside professional
services, customer service center expenses, allocable costs to and from Retail Ventures, payroll
and benefits for associates and payroll taxes. Corporate level expenses are primarily attributable
to operations at our corporate offices in Columbus, Ohio.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The increase in gross profit was a result of an increase of 230 basis points in merchandise margin
and a decrease in store occupancy of 240 basis points and warehousing expense of 50 basis points.
DSW segment merchandise margin, gross profit excluding warehousing and store occupancy, for the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 increased as a percentage of net sales to 46.6% from 44.3% for the
third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in merchandise margin was primarily the result of a
decrease in markdown activity. Store occupancy expense for the DSW segment as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 11.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 13.5% for the third quarter of
fiscal 2008 as a result of increased average store sales, a reduction
in store impairments and disposals
of property and equipment and rent concessions from landlords. Warehousing expense decreased for
the DSW segment as a percentage of net sales to 1.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 1.8%
for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of increased net sales in both DSW stores and
dsw.com, as well as operational efficiencies in both the distribution and fulfillment centers.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As a percentage of net sales, gross profit for the leased departments increased to 20.3% for the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 18.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 due to decreased
markdowns. The decrease in markdowns was a result of continued enhancements to the clearance
markdown process and aligning our inventory position to sales demand.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Operating Expenses. </I>Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 23.0% and 22.5% for the
three months ended October&nbsp;31, 2009 and November&nbsp;1, 2008, respectively. Improved operating results
increased bonus expense as a percentage of net sales by 210 basis points. The increase in bonus
expense was partially offset by approximately 160 basis points of leverage in other operating
expenses as a percentage of net sales. Decreases in store, marketing, new store and overhead
expenses as a percentage of net sales offset a 40 basis point increase in depreciation expense.
Both store expenses and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales by 40 basis
points. New store expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 70 basis points due to DSW
opening 20 fewer stores during the third quarter.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Operating Profit. </I>Operating profit increased as a percentage of net sales to 10.1% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 from 5.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of net sales,
this increase was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit offset by an increase in
operating expenses.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Interest Income, Net. </I>Interest income, net of interest expense, was 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively, as
a percentage of net sales for the third quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. While cash and
short-term investments increased compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the increase was
offset by a decrease in interest rates.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Non-operating Expense, Net. </I>Non-operating expense, net of non-operating income, for the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 represents an other-than-temporary impairment related to our auction rate
security. There was no non-operating expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The increase in gross profit was primarily a result of an increase of 70 basis points in
merchandise margin and a decrease of 60 basis points in store occupancy expense. DSW segment
merchandise margin, gross profit excluding warehousing and store occupancy, for the nine months
ended October&nbsp;31, 2009 increased as a percentage of net sales to 44.7% from 44.0% for the nine
months ended November&nbsp;1, 2008. The increase in merchandise margin was primarily the result of a
decrease in markdown activity. Store occupancy expense for the DSW segment as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 13.0% for the nine months ended October&nbsp;31, 2009 from 13.6% for the nine months
ended November&nbsp;1, 2008 as a result of increased average store
sales, a reduction in store impairments and

decreased markdowns. The decrease in markdowns was a result of continued enhancements to the
clearance markdown process and aligning our inventory position to sales demand.

increased bonus expense as a percentage of net sales by 80 basis points. Excluding the increase in
bonus expense, other operating expenses have remained flat as a percentage of net sales.
Store, new store and overhead expenses have decreased as a percentage of net sales, offset by
increases in marketing and depreciation expenses. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased 60 basis points primarily due to increases in media spending. Depreciation expense
increased 60 basis points due to capital investments in our store growth, dsw.com and system

cash and short-term investments increased compared to the nine months ended November&nbsp;1, 2008, the

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our business is subject to seasonal trends. The sales in our DSW stores have typically been higher
in the first and third quarters, when our customers&#146; interest in new seasonal styles increases.
Unlike many other retailers, we have not historically experienced a large increase in net sales
during our fourth quarter associated with the winter holiday season.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our primary ongoing cash flow requirements are for seasonal and new store inventory purchases,
capital expenditures in connection with our store expansion, improving our information systems,
dsw.com, the remodeling of existing stores and infrastructure growth. Our working capital and
inventory levels typically build seasonally. We believe that we have sufficient financial resources
and access to financial resources at this time. We are committed to a cash management strategy that
maintains liquidity to adequately support the operation of the business, our growth strategy and to
withstand unanticipated business volatility. We believe that cash generated from DSW operations,
together with our current levels of cash and equivalents and short-term investments as well as
availability under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to maintain our ongoing
operations, support seasonal working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures related to
projected business growth.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Although our plan of continued expansion could place increased demands on our financial,
managerial, operational and administrative resources, we do not believe that our anticipated growth
plan will have an unfavorable impact on our operations or liquidity. The current slowdown in the
United States economy has adversely affected consumer confidence and consumer spending habits,
which may result in reductions in comparable store sales in our existing stores with the resultant
increase in inventory levels and markdowns. Reduced sales may result in reduced operating cash
flows if we are not able to appropriately manage inventory levels or leverage expenses. These
negative economic conditions may also affect future profitability and may cause us to reduce the
number of future store openings, impair goodwill or impair long-lived assets.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Net Working Capital. </I>Net working capital increased $66.6&nbsp;million to $362.3&nbsp;million as of October
31, 2009 from $295.7&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by
operations. At October&nbsp;31, 2009 and January&nbsp;31, 2009, the current ratio was 2.5 and 2.9,
respectively.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Operating Cash Flows. </I>For the nine months ended October&nbsp;31, 2009, our net cash provided by
operations was $128.2&nbsp;million, compared to $58.8&nbsp;million for the nine months ended November&nbsp;1,
2008. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily a result of the increase in
operating income and changes in working capital.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Investing Cash Flows</I>. For the nine months ended October&nbsp;31, 2009, our net cash used in investing
activities was $87.1&nbsp;million compared to $75.1&nbsp;million for the nine months ended November&nbsp;1, 2008.
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was a result of a net increase of purchase
and sale activity of available-for-sale securities partially offset by a reduction in capital
expenditures. During the nine months ended October&nbsp;31, 2009, we incurred $16.8&nbsp;million in capital
expenditures. Of this incurred amount, we incurred $7.7&nbsp;million related to stores, $4.7&nbsp;million
related to supply chain projects and warehouses and $4.4&nbsp;million related to information technology
and infrastructure.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We expect to spend approximately $25&nbsp;million for capital expenditures in fiscal 2009. We opened
nine stores and relocated one store in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009,
the average investment required to open a typical new DSW store was approximately $1.4&nbsp;million,
prior to construction and tenant allowances. Of this amount, gross inventory typically accounted
for $0.5&nbsp;million, fixtures and leasehold improvements typically accounted for $0.7&nbsp;million and new
store advertising and other new store expenses typically accounted for $0.2&nbsp;million. Our future
capital expenditures will depend heavily on the number of new stores we open, the number of
existing stores we remodel, our information technology and system investments and the timing of
these expenditures.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>$150 Million Secured Revolving Credit Facility. </I>We have a $150&nbsp;million secured revolving credit
facility that expires July&nbsp;5, 2010. Under this facility, we and our subsidiaries are named as
co-borrowers. Our facility has borrowing base restrictions and provides for borrowings at variable
interest rates based on LIBOR, the prime rate and the Federal Funds effective rate, plus a margin.
Our obligations under this credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our and
one of our subsidiary&#146;s personal property and a pledge of our shares of DSW Shoe Warehouse. In
addition, our secured revolving credit facility contains usual and customary restrictive covenants
relating to our management and the operation of our business. These covenants, among other things,
restrict our ability to grant liens on our assets, incur additional indebtedness, open or close
stores, pay cash dividends and redeem our stock, enter into transactions with affiliates and merge
or consolidate with another entity. In addition, if at any time we utilize over 90% of our
borrowing capacity under this facility, we must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio test set
forth in the facility documents. At October&nbsp;31, 2009 and January&nbsp;31, 2009, $139.2&nbsp;million and
$132.3&nbsp;million, respectively, were available under the $150&nbsp;million secured revolving credit
facility and no direct borrowings were outstanding.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We are currently seeking a new secured revolving credit facility as our current credit facility
will expire in July&nbsp;2010. Based upon the current credit markets, the terms of the new credit
facility may not be as favorable as our current terms.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DSW had outstanding letters of credit that totaled $10.8&nbsp;million as of October&nbsp;31, 2009 and $17.7
million as of January&nbsp;31, 2009. If certain conditions are met under these arrangements, the Company
would be required to satisfy the obligations in cash. Due to the nature of these arrangements and
based on historical experience and other factors, DSW does not expect to make any significant
payments outside of terms set forth in these arrangements.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As of October&nbsp;31, 2009, we have entered into various construction commitments, including capital
items to be purchased for projects that were under construction, or for which a lease has been
signed. Our obligations under these commitments aggregated to $0.2&nbsp;million as of October&nbsp;31, 2009.
In addition, we have signed lease agreements for five new store locations expected to be opened
over the next 18&nbsp;months, with total annual rent of approximately $1.6&nbsp;million. In connection with
the new lease agreements, we will receive a total of $1.9&nbsp;million of construction and tenant
allowance reimbursements for expenditures at these locations.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We operate all of our stores, warehouses and corporate office space from leased facilities. Lease
obligations are accounted for either as operating leases or as capital leases based on lease by

filer, we may be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2015.
In 2011, the SEC will decide on the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the
implications should we be required to adopt IFRS in the future.

Certificates of deposit mature every 28 to 182&nbsp;days. Our other types of short-term investments
generally have interest reset dates of every 7&nbsp;days. These financial instruments may be subject to
interest rate risk through lost income should interest rates increase during their limited term to
maturity or resetting of interest rates and thus may limit our ability to invest in higher interest
investments.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We are involved in various legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business.
We estimate the range of liability related to pending litigation where the amount of the range of
loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable.
When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss, we record the most likely
estimated liability related to the claim. In the opinion of management, the amount of any
potential liability with respect to current legal proceedings will not be material to our results
of operations or financial condition. As additional information becomes available, we will assess
the potential liability related to our pending litigation and revise the estimates as needed.
Revisions in our estimates and potential liability could materially impact our future results of
operations and financial condition.

protection. On June&nbsp;18, 2009, SYL LLC acquired real property leases relating to 23 Filene&#146;s
Basement store locations and its distribution center, fixed assets and equipment at these
locations, inventory at all Filene&#146;s Basement locations, certain contracts (including the shoe
supply contract with DSW), certain intellectual property and certain other related assets. SYL LLC
also assumed certain obligations of Filene&#146;s Basement under acquired contracts and real property
leases. In connection with the sale of assets to SYL LLC, we entered into a Transition Services
Agreement whereby we agreed to provide transition services to Filene&#146;s Basement for up to one year

Agreement&#148;) with liquidating Filene&#146;s Basement and its related debtors and the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter&nbsp;11 case for the debtors. On November&nbsp;3, 2009, the
Settlement Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Under the
Settlement Agreement, the debtors and the creditors&#146; committee will allow us a general unsecured
claim, we will provide limited transition services to liquidating Filene&#146;s
Basement through December&nbsp;31, 2009 and the debtors will pay us cure costs in
relation to prior transition services provided by us. The Settlement Agreement provides for
certain mutual releases among the debtors, the creditors&#146; committee, RVI, us and other parties.
Although the Settlement Agreement provides that we will have certain allowed claims against the
debtors, there can be no assurance as to whether we will ultimately recover any amounts.
