CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our SEC filings and public announcements may include forward-looking statements about future events. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. We intend for all forward-looking statements contained herein, in our press releases or on our website, and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Important assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding the impact on consumer demand and spending of recent economic conditions, demand for our products, timing of shipments requested by our wholesale customers, expected pricing levels, competitive conditions, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, costs of products and raw materials we purchase, access to capital and/or credit markets, particularly in light of recent conditions in those markets, expected outcomes of pending or potential litigation and regulatory actions and disciplined execution by key management. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, based on currently available information, and are not guarantees of performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Important factors relating to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report, those described in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.
We caution that one should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2009
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2009
1. | Basis of Presentation:The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the date and for the periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our fiscal year. The accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008. We evaluated all activity through December 10, 2009 (the issue date of our condensed consolidated financial statements) and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2009. |
Recently Adopted Standards:
In June 2009, the FASB issued theFASB Accounting Standards Codification(the “ASC”) as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The ASC also recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC, which became effective in the third quarter of 2009, supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards but does not change GAAP. Accordingly, references to standards issued prior to the codification have been replaced with a description of the applicable accounting guidance.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance which established principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at their fair values as of the acquisition date. We adopted this new guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. As we did not complete any business combinations in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for that period. We expect that this guidance would have an impact on our accounting for future business combinations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued new guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The new guidance does not require any new fair value measurements, but provided that companies could elect to change historical practices in measuring fair value upon adoption. The new guidance was effective in February 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis and in February 2009 for all other nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance was effective at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. Given their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. Additionally, the carrying amounts of our variable-rate borrowings approximate fair value. Given the limited trading activity of our fixed rate debt, it is impracticable to estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt as of October 31, 2009. The significant terms of our variable rate and fixed rate debt which would be used in estimating the fair value of those instruments are disclosed in Note 5. Accordingly, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued new guidance relative to determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. It clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The new guidance was effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and requires all prior-period earnings per share data that is presented to be adjusted retrospectively. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Table of Contents
In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relative to subsequent events. The new guidance does not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports in its financial statements. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The new guidance was effective at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. | Operating Group Information:Our business is operated through our four operating groups: Tommy Bahama, Ben Sherman, Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel. We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, elimination of inter-segment sales, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments and other costs that are not allocated to the operating groups. Corporate and Other includes a LIFO reserve of $32.4 million, $32.4 million and $39.1 million as of October 31, 2009, January 31, 2009 and November 1, 2008, respectively. |

$175 million U.S. Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, accrues interest (2.08% at October 31, 2009), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon a pricing grid which is tied to average unused availability, requires interest payments monthly with principal due at maturity (August 2013) and is secured by a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable (other than royalty payments in respect of trademark licenses), inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), general intangibles (other than trademarks, trade names and related rights), deposit accounts, intercompany obligations, equipment, goods, documents, contracts, books and records and other personal property of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the holders of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes have a first priority interest (1) | $ | 26,821 | $ | 27,722 | $ | 34,138 | ||||||
£12 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which accrues interest at the bank’s base rate plus 1.35% (1.85% at October 31, 2009), requires interest payments monthly with principal payable on demand and is collateralized by substantially all of the United Kingdom assets of Ben Sherman | 5,658 | 5,083 | 1,900 | |||||||||
11.375% Senior Secured Notes (“11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes”), which accrue interest at an annual rate of 11.375% (effective interest rate of 12%) and require interest payments semi-annually in January and July of each year, require payment of principal at maturity (July 2015), are subject to certain prepayment penalties, are secured by a first priority interest in all U.S. registered trademarks and certain related rights and certain future acquired real property owned in fee simple of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its consolidated domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the lenders under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement have a first priority interest (2) | 150,000 | — | — | |||||||||
8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes (“8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes”), which accrued interest (effective interest rate of 9.0%) and required interest payments semi-annually in June and December of each year, required payment of principal at maturity (June 2011) and were guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (2) | — | 166,805 | 200,000 | |||||||||

Long-term debt, less current maturities | $ | 161,244 | $ | 194,187 | $ | 219,548 | ||||||
(1) | $15.0 million of the $26.8 million outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement at October 31, 2009 was classified as long-term debt as this amount represents the minimum amount we anticipate to be outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement during fiscal 2009. | |
(2) | In June 2009, we issued the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes at 97.353% of the $150 million principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of $146.0 million. Proceeds from the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes and borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement were used to fund the satisfaction and discharge of the 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding at that time. Accordingly, we wrote off approximately $1.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized discount related to the 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes, which are included in interest expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and amortization of deferred financing costs and bond discount in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. |

6. | Restructuring Charges and Other Unusual Items: |
Fiscal 2009:
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we incurred approximately $1.4 million of charges related to certain restructuring initiatives in our Ben Sherman operating group, substantially all of which were included in SG&A in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The restructuring charges primarily relate to our exit from, and subsequent licensing of, the Ben Sherman footwear and kids’ operations as well as other streamlining initiatives. These charges primarily consist of employee termination costs and certain contract termination costs. All such costs are expected to be paid during fiscal 2009.
Fiscal 2008:
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we incurred approximately $8.9 million of charges related to restructuring in our Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel operating groups. In addition to these restructuring charges, we recognized other unusual items totaling a charge of $0.3 million and a net benefit of $1.2 million in Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel, respectively, substantially all of which was reflected in SG&A in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, Lanier Clothes incurred restructuring charges totaling approximately $9.2 million primarily associated with our exit from certain license agreements relating to the Nautica® and Oscar de la Renta® brands and the restructuring of our Arnold Brant® business. These charges include costs associated with the disposal of inventory, payments related to license termination, the impairment of intangible assets associated with the Arnold Brant business, severance costs and the impairment of certain property, plant and equipment. Approximately $2.5 million and $2.2 million of these charges were recorded in SG&A and amortization and impairment of intangible assets, respectively, with the remaining charges being recognized in net sales and cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Approximately $1.9 million of the $9.2 million of charges for Lanier Clothes was reversed in cost of goods sold in Corporate and Other as part of LIFO accounting.
Additionally, Oxford Apparel incurred certain restructuring charges totaling approximately $1.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 associated with the decision to exit the Solitude business. These charges include costs associated with the disposal of inventory which are classified as a reduction to net sales and the impairment of intangible assets of $1.1 million associated with the Solitude business which is included in amortization and impairment of intangible assets in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net benefit related to the other unusual items of $1.2 million in Oxford Apparel was primarily related to the resolution of a contingent liability and the sale of a trademark partially offset by an increase in our bad debt reserve due to certain customers’ bankruptcy filings in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we incurred (1) an additional $0.6 million of restructuring charges, primarily consisting of severance costs as we continued to focus on reducing overhead within all operating groups and (2) a write-off of approximately $0.9 million of unamortized financing costs due to the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit agreement.

INTRODUCTION
We generate revenues and cash flow primarily through the design, production, sale and distribution of branded and private label consumer apparel for men and women and the licensing of company-owned trademarks.

We also sell products of certain owned brands through our owned and licensed retail stores and e-commerce websites.
Our business is operated through our four operating groups: Tommy Bahama, Ben Sherman, Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel. We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
As a result of the weak global economic conditions, fiscal 2008 was a particularly challenging year for our company. These challenging economic conditions continued to impact each of our operating groups in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. We expect that these challenging economic conditions will continue to impact each of our operating groups beyond fiscal 2009. In the current economic environment, we believe it is important to continue to focus on maintaining a healthy balance sheet and sufficient liquidity. Significant initiatives we have taken in the last two years to achieve these objectives have included reducing working capital requirements, moderating capital expenditures for retail stores, reducing overhead and issuing the $150 million aggregate principal amount of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes in June 2009 and the related satisfaction and discharge of our remaining 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes.
The apparel and retail industry is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. The impact of negative economic conditions may have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel and retail industry than the same conditions would have on other industries. Therefore, even if conditions improve in the general economy, the negative impact on the apparel and retail industry may continue.
The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008:
First Nine Months | ||||||||||||||||
Fiscal 2009 | Fiscal 2008 | $ Change | % Change | |||||||||||||
Net sales | $ | 610,156 | $ | 747,648 | $ | (137,492 | ) | (18.4 | %) | |||||||

Weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted | 15,729 | 15,773 | (44 | ) | (0.3 | %) |
The primary reasons for the decrease in diluted net earnings per common share were:
• | Net sales declined across all operating groups from the first nine months of fiscal 2008 primarily due to the impact of the challenging economic conditions. | ||
• | Operating results for Ben Sherman were also impacted by the change in the average exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the United States dollar and restructuring charges totaling approximately $1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, which were primarily related to our exit from, and subsequent licensing of, the Ben Sherman footwear and kids’ operations, as well as other streamlining initiatives. | ||
• | Net sales for Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel were also impacted by our exit from certain businesses in fiscal 2008. | ||
• | Royalty income decreased primarily as a result of the termination of the Tommy Bahama footwear license agreement, a 19% decline in the average value of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar, which impacted Ben Sherman royalty income, as well as the impact of the challenging economic conditions. | ||
• | A charge of $1.8 million was recognized in interest expense, net in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the satisfaction and discharge of the remaining $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes. |
These items were partially offset by:
• | For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, each operating group was impacted by restructuring charges totaling $7.7 million. | ||
• | Significant reductions were made in our SG&A across all operating groups as we streamlined our operations and focused on our core businesses during the recent economic conditions. | ||
• | A charge of $0.9 million was recognized in interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of our amendment and restatement of our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. |

Table of Contents
• | Changes in our debt facilities which impacted interest expense, net included (1) the amendment and restatement of our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement in August 2008 which provided more favorable borrowing terms than the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement provided for prior to August 2008, (2) our repurchase of $33.2 million of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes at a discount, (3) the issuance of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, (4) the repurchase of $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, which was funded by the proceeds from our issuance of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes and borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and (5) varying levels of debt outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement between the two periods as a result of positive cash flows for the twelve months ended October 31, 2009. |

Net sales, on a consolidated basis, decreased $43.6 million, or 17.9%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of the changes in each operating group discussed below.
Tommy Bahama:
The decrease in net sales for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to a reduction in net sales at wholesale resulting from the challenging retail environment. This decrease in wholesale sales was partially offset by sales at our retail stores opened after the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and increased e-commerce sales. Unit sales decreased 13.2% due primarily to the challenging retail environment. The average selling price per unit increased by 3.8%, as sales at our retail stores and our e-commerce sales, both of which have higher sales prices than wholesale sales,
19
Table of Contents
represented a greater proportion of total Tommy Bahama sales. As of October 31, 2009 and November 1, 2008, we operated 85 and 79 Tommy Bahama retail stores, respectively.
Ben Sherman:
The decrease in net sales for Ben Sherman was primarily due to a 16.6% reduction in unit sales primarily due to the challenging economic conditions and our exit from and subsequent licensing of our footwear and kids’ operations. The decrease was further driven by a 10% reduction in the average exchange rate of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the average exchange rate during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The average selling price per unit decreased 6.4%, resulting primarily from the impact of the weaker British pound sterling, which was partially offset by a larger percentage of total Ben Sherman sales being sales at our retail stores, which generally have a higher sales price than wholesale sales.
Lanier Clothes:
The decrease in net sales for Lanier Clothes was primarily due to (1) our exit from the Oscar de la Renta and Nautica licensed businesses, with fiscal 2009 sales consisting of close out sales, (2) the restructuring of the Arnold Brant business in fiscal 2008 and (3) the challenging economic conditions. The exit from the Oscar de la Renta and Nautica businesses and the challenging economic conditions resulted in a decrease in unit sales of 8.7% and also impacted our sales mix, resulting in a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 12.2%, as the Nautica and Oscar de la Renta businesses had higher average selling prices than certain other businesses which Lanier Clothes continues to operate.
Oxford Apparel:
The decrease in net sales for Oxford Apparel was generally anticipated in connection with our strategy to focus on key product categories and exit underperforming lines of business, but was also impacted by the challenging economic conditions. Unit sales decreased by 25.0% as a result of our exit from certain lines of business and economic conditions, and the average selling price per unit increased by 2.7% due to changes in product mix.
Gross Profit

Fiscal 2009 | Fiscal 2008 | $ Change | % Change | |||||||||||||
Gross profit | $ | 80,255 | $ | 93,629 | $ | (13,374 | ) | (14.3 | %) | |||||||
Gross profit % of net sales | 40.0 | % | 38.3 | % | ||||||||||||
LIFO accounting charges included in cost of goods sold | $ | 1,288 | $ | — |
The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower sales in each operating group, as described above. Gross margins increased to 40.0% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from 38.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Gross margins were positively impacted by the sales mix between our retail operations and wholesale operations. Retail sales, which generally have higher gross margins, represented a higher proportion of our net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The LIFO accounting charge of $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 partially offset the improved gross margins. Ben Sherman’s gross margins were negatively impacted by increased cost of goods sold related to inventory purchases denominated in United States dollars but sold in other currencies. Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as statement of operations classification of certain expenses may vary by company.

SG&A % of net sales | 36.1 | % | 34.7 | % | ||||||||||||
Restructuring charges included in SG&A | $ | — | $ | 601 |
The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to (1) significant reductions in our overhead cost structure, (2) cost reductions associated with our exit from certain businesses, (3) the impact on Ben Sherman of a 10% reduction in the average value of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar and (4) restructuring charges incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 totaling approximately $0.6 million. These cost savings were partially offset by expenses associated with the operation of additional retail stores which opened subsequent to the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Operating income, on a consolidated basis, decreased to $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $12.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The $1.8 million decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decreased net sales and royalty income, which was partially offset by decreased SG&A. The third quarter of fiscal 2009 included a charge of $1.3 million related to LIFO accounting and the third quarter of fiscal 2008 included restructuring charges of $0.6 million. Changes in operating income by operating group are discussed below.

Net sales, on a consolidated basis, decreased $137.5 million, or 18.4%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of the changes in each operating group discussed below.
Tommy Bahama:
The decrease in net sales for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to a reduction in net sales at wholesale and in our existing owned retail stores resulting from the challenging retail environment. This decrease in wholesale sales and existing store retail sales was partially offset by sales at our retail stores opened after the beginning of fiscal 2008 and
23
Table of Contents
increased e-commerce sales. Unit sales decreased 24.1% due primarily to the challenging retail environment. The average selling price per unit increased by 7.5%, as sales at our retail stores and our e-commerce sales, both of which have higher sales prices than wholesale sales, represented a greater proportion of total Tommy Bahama sales.
Ben Sherman:
The decrease in net sales for Ben Sherman was primarily due to (1) a 19% reduction in the average exchange rate of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to the average exchange rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2008, (2) the impact of the challenging economic environment on wholesale shipments and (3) our exit from and subsequent licensing of our footwear and kids’ operations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, unit sales for Ben Sherman declined by 18.5% due primarily to the challenging economic conditions. The average selling price per unit decreased 11.1%, resulting primarily from the impact of the weaker British pound sterling, which was partially offset by a larger percentage of total Ben Sherman sales being sales at our retail stores, which generally have a higher sales price than wholesale sales.
Lanier Clothes:
The decrease in net sales for Lanier Clothes was primarily due to (1) our exit from the Oscar de la Renta and Nautica licensed businesses, with fiscal 2009 sales primarily consisting of close out sales, (2) the restructuring of the Arnold Brant business in fiscal 2008 and (3) the challenging economic conditions. These factors resulted in a decrease in unit sales of 5.5% and a decrease in the average selling price per unit of 12.2%.
Oxford Apparel:
The decrease in net sales for Oxford Apparel was generally anticipated in connection with our strategy to focus on key product categories and exit underperforming lines of business, but was also impacted by the difficult economic conditions. Unit sales decreased by 16.7% as a result of our exit from certain lines of business and the challenging economic conditions, and the average selling price per unit increased by 1.3% due to changes in product mix.

LIFO accounting charges/(credits) and restructuring charges included in cost of goods sold | $ | 5,773 | $ | 2,469 |
The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower sales in each operating group, as described above. Gross margins decreased to 40.7% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 41.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Ben Sherman’s gross margins were negatively impacted by increased cost of goods sold related to inventory purchases denominated in United States dollars but sold in other currencies. The first nine months of fiscal 2009 included LIFO accounting charges of $5.8 million, while the first nine months of fiscal 2008 included restructuring charges of $5.3 million primarily related to our exit from the Oscar de la Renta and Nautica licensed businesses and a LIFO accounting credit of $2.8 million. Gross margins were also impacted by the sales mix between our retail operations and wholesale operations, with retail sales, which generally have higher gross margins, representing a higher proportion of our net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Our gross profit may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as statement of operations classification of certain expenses may vary by company.

Restructuring and other charges included in SG&A | $ | 1,362 | $ | 2,161 |
The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to (1) significant reductions in our headcount and other overhead costs, (2) cost reductions associated with our exit from certain businesses, (3) the impact on Ben Sherman of a 19% reduction in the average value of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar, (4) reductions in store opening costs resulting from reduced retail store openings and (5) reductions in advertising expenses. Additionally, the first nine months of fiscal 2008 included restructuring charges and other unusual items totaling a net charge of approximately $2.2 million. The cost savings were partially offset by expenses associated with the operation of additional retail stores which opened subsequent to the beginning of fiscal 2008 and $1.4 million of restructuring charges during the

Impairment charges included in amortization and impairment of intangible assets | $ | — | $ | 3,274 |
The decrease in amortization and impairment of intangible assets was primarily due to the $3.3 million of impairment charges related to the Arnold Brant and Solitude intangible assets in Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel, respectively, in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The decrease was also partially the result of amortization typically being greater in the earlier periods following an acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets is expected to be approximately $1.2 million in fiscal 2009, including the $0.9 million recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

The decrease in royalties and other operating income was primarily due to the termination of the license agreement for footwear in Tommy Bahama, the challenging economic conditions and the 19% decline in the average value of the British pound sterling versus the United States dollar, which impacted Ben Sherman royalty income. The first nine months of fiscal 2008 also included a net gain on (1) the sale of a trademark and (2) the impairment of a joint venture by Oxford Apparel of approximately $0.2 million.

Operating income, on a consolidated basis, decreased $9.1 million to $31.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decreased sales and royalty income, which were partially offset by decreased SG&A and lower restructuring charges, as discussed above. The first nine months of fiscal 2009 included LIFO accounting charges of approximately $5.8 million and restructuring charges of approximately $1.4 million. The first nine months of fiscal 2008 included restructuring charges and other unusual items of approximately $10.5 million partially offset by LIFO accounting credits of approximately $2.8 million.

Also, the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 included charges of $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of certain changes to our financing arrangements in each period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is our operating activities in the United States and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. When cash inflows are less than cash outflows, subject to their terms, we also have access to amounts under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement, each of which is described below. We may seek to finance future capital investment programs through various methods, including, but not limited to, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities and sales of debt or equity securities.
Our liquidity requirements arise from the funding of our working capital needs, which include inventory and accounts receivable, other operating expenses, funding of capital expenditures, payment of quarterly dividends, periodic interest payments related to our financing arrangements and repayment of our indebtedness. Our product purchases are often facilitated by trade letters of credit which are drawn against our lines of credit at the time of shipment of the products and reduce the amounts available under our lines of credit when issued.

Table of Contents
Our working capital ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in our inventory and accounts receivable levels, which were greater than the reductions in current liabilities. For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term debt, and total capital is defined as debt plus shareholders’ equity. The change in this ratio from November 1, 2008 to October 31, 2009 is primarily a result of impairment of certain goodwill and intangible assets during fiscal 2008 which reduced shareholders’ equity significantly. Our debt levels and ratio of debt to total-capital in future periods may not be comparable to historical amounts due to the changes to our credit facilities and other debt instruments since the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and as we continue to assess and periodically make changes to our capital structure. Changes in our capital structure, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

The following tables set forth certain information included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands). Below each table are explanations for any significant changes in the balances from November 1, 2008 to October 31, 2009.

Total current assets | $ | 204,081 | $ | 257,736 | $ | (53,655 | ) | (20.8 | %) | |||||||
The decrease in receivables was primarily due to lower wholesale sales in the last two months of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the last two months of the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Inventory levels at Ben Sherman, Lanier Clothes and Oxford Apparel have each decreased as we have focused on mitigating inventory markdown risk and promotional pressure and have exited certain lines of business. Inventory levels at Tommy Bahama increased slightly in order to support the additional retail stores we were operating at October 31, 2009. The decrease in prepaid expenses was primarily due to the timing of payment of certain expenses.

The decrease in property, plant and equipment, net was primarily due to depreciation expense exceeding capital expenditures during the twelve months ended October 31, 2009 as well as the impact of certain asset impairments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The decreases in goodwill, net and intangible assets, net were primarily due to the impact of impairments recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in other non-current assets, net was primarily due to (1) impairment of investments in joint ventures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and (2) the write-off and amortization of certain deferred financing costs. These items were partially offset by the payment of certain deferred financing costs associated with the offering of our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes in June 2009.

The decrease in total current liabilities was primarily due to reductions in accruals related to inventory, employment and other overhead costs, and interest payable. The decrease in long-term debt is primarily due to cash flow from operating activities resulting from lower working capital positions subsequent to November 1, 2008, which exceeded cash requirements for investing and financing activities and the repurchase of certain of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured

Table of Contents
Notes at a discount in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease in other non-current liabilities was primarily due to the declines in deferred rent and deferred compensation liabilities. The change in non-current deferred income taxes primarily resulted from (1) the impact of the impairment and amortization of certain intangible assets recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, (2) the change in foreign currency exchange rates subsequent to November 1, 2008 and (3) changes in taxes accrued on undistributed foreign earnings.

Operating Activities:
The operating cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were primarily the result of earnings for the period, adjusted for non-cash activities such as depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense as well as changes in our working capital accounts. In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the significant changes in working capital from January 31, 2009 were a decrease in inventories partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in current liabilities. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the significant changes in working capital from February 2, 2008 were a decrease in inventories partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in current liabilities.
Investing Activities:
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and the first nine months of fiscal 2008, investing activities used $8.4 million and $17.9 million, respectively, of cash. These investing activities primarily consisted of capital expenditures related to new retail stores and costs associated with our ongoing implementation of a new integrated financial system.
Financing Activities:
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, financing activities used $31.0 million of cash. Cash flow from operations, borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the proceeds from the issuance of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes were used to repurchase $166.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes, to pay $4.4 million of dividends for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2009 and to pay $5.0 million of financing costs associated with our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2009. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, financing activities used $49.5 million of cash. Cash flow from operations was used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Additionally, $11.6 million of dividends were paid during the first nine months of fiscal 2008. These dividend payments include payments for the quarter ended February 2, 2008 and the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The table below provides a description of our significant financing arrangements and the amounts outstanding under these financing arrangements (in thousands) as of October 31, 2009:
$175 million U.S. Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, accrues interest (2.08% at August 1, 2009), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon a pricing grid which is tied to average unused availability, requires interest payments monthly with principal due at maturity (August 2013) and is secured by a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable (other than royalty payments in respect of trademark licenses), inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), general intangibles (other than trademarks, trade names and related rights), deposit accounts, intercompany obligations, equipment, goods, documents, contracts, books and records and other personal property of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the holders of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes have a first priority interest (1) | $ | 26,821 | ||
£12 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement”), which accrues interest at the bank’s base rate plus 1.35% (1.85% at October 31, 2009), requires interest payments monthly with principal payable on demand and is collateralized by substantially all of the United Kingdom assets of Ben Sherman | 5,658 | |||
11.375% Senior Secured Notes (“11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes”), which accrue interest at an annual rate of 11.375% (effective interest rate of 12%) and require interest payments semi-annually in January and July of each year, require payment of principal at maturity (July 2015), are subject to certain prepayment penalties, are secured by a first priority interest in all U.S. registered trademarks and certain related rights and certain future acquired real property owned in fee simple of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its consolidated domestic subsidiaries and a second priority interest in those assets in which the lenders under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement have a first priority interest, and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (2) | 150,000 | |||
Unamortized discount (2) | (3,756 | ) | ||
Total debt | $ | 178,723 | ||
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt | (17,479 | ) | ||
Long-term debt, less current maturities | $ | 161,244 | ||
(1) | $15.0 million of the $26.8 million outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement at October 31, 2009 was classified as long-term debt as this amount represents the minimum amount we anticipate to be outstanding under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement during fiscal 2009. | |
(2) | In June 2009, we issued the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes at 97.353% of the $150 million principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of $146.0 million. Proceeds from the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes and borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement were used to fund the satisfaction and discharge of the 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding at that time. |
Our credit facilities are used to finance trade letters of credit, as well to provide funding for other operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions. As of October 31, 2009, approximately $17.1 million of trade letters of credit and other limitations on availability in the aggregate were outstanding against the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement. On October 31, 2009, we had approximately $105 million and $11 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement, respectively, subject to the respective limitations on borrowings set forth in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes.
Covenants, Other Restrictions and Prepayment Penalties:
Our credit facilities and 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes are subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance and conduct of business. Also, our credit facilities and 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes are subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (i) incur debt, (ii) guaranty certain obligations, (iii) incur liens, (iv) pay dividends to shareholders, (v) repurchase shares of our common stock, (vi) make investments, (vii) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (viii) acquire assets or businesses, (ix) merge or consolidate with other companies, or (x) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.

Pursuant to the indenture governing our 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes, our ability to incur certain indebtedness or to make certain restricted payments, as defined in the indenture, is subject to our meeting certain conditions, including in each case the condition that our fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the indenture, not be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the preceding four fiscal quarters on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed indebtedness or restricted payment and, in the case of a restricted payment, the condition that the aggregate total of all restricted payments not exceed a certain allowable amount calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the indenture. Restricted payments under the indenture include, without limitation, cash dividends to shareholders, repurchases of our capital stock, and certain investments.
Additionally, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (i) $26.25 million or (ii) 15% of the total revolving commitments for three consecutive business days. In such case, our fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement must not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding 12 fiscal months for which financial statements have been delivered. This financial covenant continues to apply until we have maintained unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement of more than the greater of (i) $26.25 million or (ii) 15% of the total revolving commitments for thirty consecutive days.
We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions are customary for those included in similar facilities and notes. As of October 31, 2009, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement as the minimum availability threshold was met during the quarter. As of October 31, 2009, we were compliant with all covenants related to our credit facilities and 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes.
At any time prior to July 15, 2012, we may redeem all or a portion of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, in amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption and (ii) as determined by an independent investment banker (as prescribed under the indenture), the sum of the present values of 105.688% of the principal amount of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes being redeemed plus scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) from the date of redemption to July 15, 2012 discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture) plus 50 basis points, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
On or after July 15, 2012, we may redeem all or a portion of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, in amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning July 15 of the years indicated below:
2012 | 105.688 | % | ||
2013 | 102.844 | % | ||
2014 and thereafter | 100.000 | % |
Other Liquidity Items:
We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements, which generally consist of working capital needs, capital expenditures (primarily for the opening of additional retail stores and the implementation of a new integrated financial system) and interest payments on our debt during fiscal 2009, primarily from positive cash flow from operations supplemented by borrowings under our lines of credit, if necessary. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest requirements generally existing in the fall and spring of each year. Our capital needs will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products. At maturity of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes or if the U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement was required to be paid, we anticipate that we will be able to refinance the facilities and debt with terms available in the market at that time, which may or may not be as favorable as the terms of the current agreements.

Our contractual obligations as of October 31, 2009 have not changed significantly from the contractual obligations outstanding at January 31, 2009 other than (1) changes in the amounts outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, (2) changes in the amounts outstanding under our U.K. Revolving Credit Agreement, (3) changes in amounts outstanding pursuant to letters of credit, (4) the issuance of the 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due July 2015 and (5) the repayment and satisfaction of all obligations related to the 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes due June 2011 (each as discussed above). The 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes require interest payments of $8.5 million each January and July through their maturity in July 2015.
Our anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2009, including $8.4 million incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, are expected to be approximately $10 million. These expenditures consist primarily of additional Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman retail stores and the costs associated with the implementation of a new integrated financial system.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into agreements which meet the SEC’s definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments to or guarantees with respect to any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock compensation expense, contingencies and litigation and certain other accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008. There have not been any significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, except that we no longer have any goodwill recognized in our balance sheet after the impairment charge which was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008.
SEASONALITY
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles may be seasonal. For example, the demand for Tommy Bahama and golf products is higher in the spring and summer seasons. Generally, our wholesale products are sold prior to each of the retail selling seasons, consisting of spring, summer, fall and holiday. As the timing of product shipments and other events affecting the retail business may vary, results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year. The percentage of net sales by quarter (unaudited) for fiscal 2008 was 29%, 24%, 26% and 21%, respectively, and the percentage of earnings (loss) before income taxes by quarter (unaudited) for fiscal 2008 was 5%, 1%, 2% and (108%), respectively. We do not believe the fiscal 2008 distribution of earnings (loss) before income taxes is indicative of the distribution in future years, in particular because certain of the quarters in fiscal 2008 were impacted to varying degrees by restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, other unusual items, a gain on the repurchase of a portion of our 8 7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes and the challenging economic environment.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain trade policy, interest rate, foreign currency, commodity and inflation risks as discussed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008. There have not been any significant changes in our exposure to these risks during fiscal 2009.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we converted certain of our financial systems in our United States operations (general ledger, payables and fixed assets) to a new integrated financial system. As a result of these conversions, certain controls were modified, as necessary, to supplement and complement our existing internal controls over financial reporting. We anticipate converting other of our financial systems and certain other geographic regions to the new integrated financial system in future periods. The conversion of certain of our financial systems to an integrated financial system was undertaken to provide a more integrated financial system across our operating groups, more timely management information, efficiencies in our operations and enhanced customer service, and not in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
Except for the conversion of certain of our financial systems to a new integrated financial system as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not currently a party to any litigation or regulatory action that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We believe that an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, which are not the only risks facing our company. We do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. If any of the risks described in such Quarterly Report, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could suffer.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) | During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we did not make any unregistered sales of our equity securities. | ||
(c) | We have certain stock incentive plans as described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008, all of which are publicly announced plans. Under the plans, we can repurchase shares from employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of previously restricted shares. No shares were purchased during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. |
On September 8, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by us of up to 0.5 million shares of our common stock. As of October 31, 2009, no shares had been repurchased pursuant to this authorization, which has no automatic expiration.
