Chairman's Statement 
I am pleased to report a strong performance across the Group in the first half 
of the year, which resulted in a 15.0% increase in Group revenue to GBP88.1m and 
a 24.6% improvement in profit before tax to GBP7.5m 
 
Through our robust multi-channel distribution strategy, we continue to expand 
the Ted Baker brand in existing and new international markets. Our retail 
division has continued to perform well with sales up 17.2% on an 8.2% increase 
in average retail square footage. A good performance in the UK was supported by 
improved trading conditions in our overseas markets. 
 
Wholesale sales were up 6.3%, which was largely due to our US wholesale business 
and a 2.5% increase in underlying UK wholesale sales. Total UK wholesale sales 
were slightly down on the prior year because the comparative period included 
sales from wholesale accounts which have transferred to retail concessions. 
 
Licence income from our product and territorial licences increased by 19.8% to 
GBP3.0m and included a full contribution in the period from our US product 
licences. 
 
Financial Results 
Group revenue increased by 15.0% to GBP88.1m (2009: GBP76.6m) for the 28 weeks 
ended 14 August 2010 ("the period"). The composite gross margin increased to 
61.2% (2009: 59.5%) reflecting buying efficiencies and less promotional activity 
in our overseas markets. 
 
Operating expenses increased by 18.3% in the period to GBP49.3m (2009: 
GBP41.6m). Distribution costs, which mainly comprise the cost of retail stores, 
outlets and concessions, increased by 15.9% to GBP37.1m (2009: GBP32.0m), 
reflecting the increase in average retail square footage and an increase in 
turnover related property costs. Administrative expenses increased by 26.6% to 
GBP12.2m (2009: GBP9.6m). Excluding employee performance related bonus costs of 
GBP0.9m (2009: nil), administration expenses increased by 17.2% reflecting 
growth in the US team to support our US retail and wholesale businesses and 
growth in other central functions to support our expansion into international 
markets. 
 
Profit before tax increased by 24.6% to GBP7.5m (2009: GBP6.0m) resulting in 
basic earnings per share of 12.9p (2009: 10.4p). The effective tax rate of 29.3% 
was in line with our expectations for the full financial year. 
 
Net cash generated from operating activities increased to GBP4.8m (2009: 
GBP4.1m). Capital expenditure of GBP4.8m (2009: GBP2.5m) reflected two store 
openings compared to one in the comparative period last year and some 
refurbishment of existing locations, including a major refurbishment of our 
store in Floral Street, London. 
 
Dividends 
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 6.3p (2009: 5.25p), representing 
an increase of 20.0%, which will be payable on 26 November 2010 to shareholders 
on the register at the close of business on 22 October 2010. 
 
Board 
On 15 June 2010 we were delighted to announce that Anne Sheinfield was appointed 
to the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Anne is a commercial 
lawyer with 19 years' post qualification experience in the theatre, TV and music 
areas of entertainment. Anne brings with her a wealth of intellectual property 
and commercial legal experience and we look forward to her contribution going 
forward. After a suitable induction with the Company, it is intended that Anne 
will be appointed to the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees. 
 
The Brand 
Our strategy is to become a leading global designer brand, based on three main 
elements: 
 
·    considered expansion of our collections. We review our collections 
continually to ensure we react to trends and meet our customers' expectations. 
In addition, we look for opportunities to extend the breadth of collections and 
enhance our offer; 
·    controlled distribution through three main channels: retail; wholesale; and 
licensing. We consider each new opportunity to ensure it is right for the brand 
and will deliver margin led growth; and 
·    carefully managed development of existing and new international markets. We 
continue to manage growth in existing territories while considering new 
territories for expansion. 
 
Underlying our strategy is an emphasis on design, product quality and attention 
to detail, which is delivered by the passion, commitment and dedication of our 
teams, licence partners and wholesale customers ("trustees"). 
 
 
Global Group Performance 
 
Retail 
We currently operate stores and concessions across the UK, Europe, US and Hong 
Kong. Trading in the UK continued strongly and was well supported by an improved 
trend in our overseas markets and an encouraging start in Hong Kong. Retail 
sales were up 17.2% to GBP71.9m (2009: GBP61.3m) with average retail square 
footage increasing by 8.2% to 219,936 sq.ft (2009: 203,325 sq.ft). Sales per 
square foot rose by 6.4% to GBP315 (2009: GBP296). Our e-commerce business 
benefited from the further enhancements made to our transactional website last 
year, with a significant increase in sales compared to the same period last 
year. 
 
The retail gross margin was 65.4% (2009: 63.9%) reflecting buying efficiencies 
and less promotional activity in our overseas markets. 
 
 Wholesale 
Wholesale sales were 6.3% above last year at GBP16.2m (2009: GBP15.3m) with 
gross margins of 42.9% (2009: 41.6%). The growth in sales largely reflects the 
encouraging start of our US wholesale business with underlying UK wholesale 
sales and gross margins in line with expectations and slightly above last year. 
 
Licence Income 
We operate two types of licences: territorial licences covering the Middle East, 
Asia, Australia and New Zealand; and product licences covering lingerie & 
sleepwear, perfume & fragrance, watches, footwear, eyewear, neckwear and 
childrenswear. 
 
Licence income for the period increased in line with expectations to GBP3.0m 
(2009: GBP2.5m). 
 
We are pleased with the performances from our territorial and product licences. 
We have seen continued good performances from our licensed childrenswear 
collection, exclusive to Debenhams, with whom we have also launched B by Ted 
Baker, a new and exclusive lingerie and sleepwear collection, during the period. 
 
The improvement in licence income was largely due to a full contribution in the 
period from our US product licences signed directly with companies who had 
previously held product sub-licences with Hartmarx Corporation. 
 
Collections 
Ted Baker Womenswear delivered another strong performance in the period with 
sales up 17.3% to GBP43.3m (2009: GBP36.9m). Womenswear represented 49.1% of 
total sales (2009: 48.2%). Ted Baker Menswear also delivered a strong 
performance with sales increasing 12.8% to GBP44.8m (2009: GBP39.7m). Menswear 
represented 50.9% of total sales (2009: 51.8%). 
 
Geographic Performance 
 
United Kingdom & Europe 
Sales in the period in our UK and Europe retail division were up 14.4% to 
GBP64.2m (2009: GBP56.1m). The UK continued to perform well and was supported by 
improved trading conditions in the rest of Europe during the period. 
 
Average square footage rose by 6.2% over the period to 185,780 sq.ft (2009: 
175,007 sq.ft). At 14 August 2010, total retail square footage was 186,605 sq.ft 
(2009: 174,046 sq.ft), representing an increase of 7.2%. Retail sales per square 
foot increased 5.4% from GBP314 to GBP331. 
 
At 14 August 2010, we operated 33 stores (2009: 32), 154 concessions (2009: 122) 
and 10 outlet stores (2009: 10). 
 
Total UK wholesale sales were slightly down on the prior year at GBP14.9m (2009: 
GBP15.3m) because the comparative period included sales from wholesale accounts 
which have transferred to retail concessions. Underlying UK wholesale sales were 
2.5% above the same period last year and in line with expectations. 
 
US 
Trading in the US improved against a difficult period last year, resulting in 
sales from our US retail division increasing by 20.0% to $9.6m (2009: $8.0m), 
which in sterling was equivalent to sales up 21.1% to GBP6.3m (2009: GBP5.2m). 
During the period we opened stores in Phoenix and Santa Monica and consequently 
now have 11 stores across the United States (2009: 8) and 2 outlet stores (2009: 
2). 
 
Average retail square footage rose 13.0% over the period to 32,006 sq.ft (2009: 
28,318 sq.ft). At 14 August 2010 total retail square footage was up 18.4% on 
last year at 35,477 sq.ft (2009: 29,953 sq.ft). Retail sales per square foot 
rose 7.1% from GBP184 to GBP197. 
 
As previously mentioned, the re-launch of our US wholesale business under our 
own management has started well and we are encouraged by the positive reaction 
received to date. 
 
Middle East, Asia and Australasia 
We continue to develop the Ted Baker brand across the Middle East, Asia and 
Australasia. In April we opened a store in the Dubai Marina Mall, Dubai, through 
our territorial licensee RSH Limited and are pleased with the performance at 
this early stage. Our licence partner in Taiwan, Yun San Corporation, is also 
making good progress. 
At the start of the period we acquired two stores in Hong Kong from our former 
partner in the territory, Li & Fung, although one of these stores was scheduled 
to close in May. We are very pleased with the performance of these stores under 
our management and, although one store has now closed, we are actively seeking 
further opportunities in the territory. Consequently at 14 August 2010 we 
operated one store in Hong Kong. 
Both of our stores in Melbourne, Australia, which are operated through a joint 
venture with our licence partner in that territory, continued to trade well 
during the period. 
 
 
 
Current Trading and Outlook 
 
Retail 
The improving trends seen in the first half of 2010 across both our UK and 
overseas markets have continued into the first seven weeks of the second half of 
the year. 
 
In Europe we opened seven further concessions in Eire at the end of the period 
and are encouraged by early trading. We have also recently opened ten 
concessions across Italy with a leading department store group and plan to open 
a further store in Paris early next year. We also plan to open a store in the 
Trafford Centre, Manchester, early next year. 
 
In the US we plan to open further stores in Chicago and New York later in the 
year and will also be launching a US transactional website in October. 
 
In Asia we have been pleased with the strong performance in Hong Kong during the 
period and plan to open a further store in Hong Kong early next year. We 
continue to explore further opportunities to expand in this region. 
 
Wholesale 
Trading in our UK wholesale business has been in line with expectations and we 
anticipate that the trend seen in the first half of the year will continue for 
the remainder of this year. In the US, our wholesale business continues to 
perform well. 
 
Licence Income 
Our product and territorial licences continue to perform in line with 
expectations. In the second half of the year we will be opening further stores 
in Kuwait, Taiwan, Abu Dhabi and Sydney, Australia with our respective partners 
in these territories. 
 
Outlook 
Whilst we have made a good start to the second half, the Group results for the 
full year will, as always, be dependent on trading during the key Christmas 
period and, at this stage, we remain cautious given the uncertain economic 
environment. Our costs and commitments remain under control and, with our strong 
balance sheet, we will continue to invest in the long term development of the 
Ted Baker brand. 
 
We intend to make our next interim management statement, covering the period 
since the start of the second half of the financial year, in mid November.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements 
For the 28 weeks ended 14 August 2010 
 
1.   Basis of preparation 
 
a. Reporting entity 
Ted Baker PLC is a company domiciled in the United Kingdom. The condensed 
interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") of Ted Baker PLC 
as at and for the 28 weeks ended 14 August 2010 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group"). 
 
The Group financial statements as at and for the 52 weeks ended 30 January 2010 
are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Ted Baker 
PLC, The Ugly Brown Building, 6a St. Pancras Way, London NW1 0TB or at 
www.tedbaker.com. 
 
b. Statement of compliance 
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with "IAS 34 
Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and the requirements of the 
Disclosures and Transparency Rules. They do not include all of the information 
required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction 
with the Group financial statements as at and for the 52 weeks ended 30 January 
2010. These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors 
on 7 October 2010. 
 
The comparative figures for the 52 weeks ended 30 January 2010 are not the 
Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been 
reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the registrar of 
companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified; (ii) did not include 
a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of 
emphasis without qualifying their report; and (iii) did not contain a statement 
under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. These sections address 
whether proper accounting records have been kept, whether the Company's accounts 
are in agreement with these records and whether the auditors have obtained all 
the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of the audit. 
 
The financial information in this document is unaudited, but has been reviewed 
by the auditors in accordance with the Auditing Practices Board guidance on 
Review of Interim Financial Information. 
 
c. Going concern 
The Group financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 30 January 2010, approved 
by the Board on the 25 March 2010, included information on the business 
environment in which the Group operates, including the factors that are likely 
to impact the future prospects of the Group, together with the principal risks 
and uncertainties that the Group faces. In addition, the notes to the 
consolidated financial statements set out the Group's objectives, policies and 
processes for managing its financial and capital risk and its exposures to 
credit, market and liquidity risk. Many of the risks and uncertainties reported 
are such that their potential to impact the Group's operations are inherent and 
remain valid as regards to their potential impact during the second half of 
2010. The impact of the economic environment in which the Group's businesses 
operates is considered in the Chairman's Statement. 
 
The Directors have prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for a period of one 
year from the date of approval of these interim financial statements. The 
Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate cash 
headroom and expects to meet all banking covenant requirements. Accordingly, 
they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial 
statements of the Group. 
 
d. Significant accounting policies 
Except as noted below, these interim financial statements have been prepared 
using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Group's 
financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 30 January 2010 and as discussed 
therein. 
 
Revised and amended standards and interpretations 
 
The following adopted accounting standards and interpretations, issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or International Financial 
Reporting, Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), have been adopted for the first 
time by the Group in the current financial year with no significant impact on 
its consolidated results or financial position: 
 
·   IFRS 3 (revised 2008), Business Combinations; 
 
·   Amendment to IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements; 
 
·   Amendment to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement: 
Eligible Hedged Items; 
 
·   Amendment to IAS 2, Share-based Payment: Group Cash-settled Share-based 
Payment Transactions;

2.   Segment information 
 
The Group has three reportable segments; retail, wholesale and licence income. 
 
For each of the three segments, the Group's chief operating decision maker (the 
"Board") reviews internal management reports on a four weekly basis. 
 
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in 
note (s) on page 40 of the Group financial statements as at and for the 52 weeks 
ended 30 January 2010. Information regarding the results of each reportable 
segment is included below. Performance for the retail segment is measured based 
on operating contribution, whereas performance of the wholesale segment is 
measured based on gross profit and performance of the licence segment is 
measured based on royalty income, as included in the internal management reports 
that are reviewed by the Board. 
 
Segment results are used to measure performance as management believes that such 
information is the most relevant in evaluating the performance of certain 
segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. 
Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 6.3p per share (2009: 5.25p) 
payable on 26 November 2010 to shareholders on the register at the close of 
business on 22 October 2010. 
 
 
7.   Income tax expense 
 
The Group's effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the 28 
weeks ended 14 August 2010 was 29.3% which is based on the full year forecast 
effective rate (28 weeks ended 15 August 2009: 29.0%, 52 weeks ended 30 January 
2010: 30.6%). 
 
The factors affecting the tax charge for the Group remain broadly consistent 
with the prior period. However, the reduction in the UK corporation tax rate 
from 28% to 27% will be reflected in a corresponding reduction in future 
effective tax rates for the Group. The impact of a reduction in the rate to 27% 
on the underlying effective tax rate for the full-year is not expected to be 
significant. The proposed future reduction in the UK corporation tax rate to 24% 
will be reflected when the relevant legislation is substantively enacted. 
 
 
8.   Share based payments 
 
Share options and Long Term Incentive Plans "LTIP" awards 
 
Equity settled awards are granted to employees in the form of share options, 
share awards or the award of units that can convert to nil-cost options. 
 
Share options are granted at an option price equal to the Company share price at 
the grant date, or at a discount of 20% in the case of SAYE share options. No 
consideration is payable when share awards or nil-cost options vest. The vesting 
period is generally between three and five years and the share options expire 
between three and ten years after grant. Share options and awards will also 
expire if the employee leaves the Group prior to the exercise or vesting date. 
The terms and conditions of the grants made during the 28 weeks ended 14 August 
2010 are as follows: 
 
+--------+--------+--------+------------+---------+ 
| Grant  |   Type | Number |    Vesting | Vesting |

Value Creation Plan 
 
The award of units is made under the Ted Baker 2009 Value Creation Plan ("2009 
VCP"). Units have no value at grant, but subject to the satisfaction of earnings 
per share, share price and total shareholder return performance targets can 
convert and give participants the right to be granted nil-cost options at the 
end of the performance. 
 
No awards were made under the 2009 VCP in the 28 weeks ended 14 August 2010. 
 
The charge to the income statement for 28 weeks ended 14 August 2010 for VCP 
awards amounted to GBP208,527 (2009: GBPnil). Included in the charge for the 
period is an amount in respect of R S Kelvin, who is employed by the Company, 
amounting to GBP37,326 (2009: GBPnil).

statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations 
concerning, among other things, the Company's results of operations, financial 
condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, and the industries in which 
the Company operates. Forward-looking statements are based on the information 
available to the Directors at the time of preparation of this announcement, and 
will not be updated during the year. The Directors can give no assurance that 
these expectations will prove to have been correct. Due to inherent 
uncertainties, including both economic and business risk factors underlying such 
forward looking information, actual results may differ materially from those 
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. 
Independent Review Report on the Condensed Financial Statements to the members 
of Ted Baker PLC 
 
Introduction 
 
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial 
statements in the interim financial statements for the 28 weeks ended 14 August 
2010 which comprises the Condensed Group Income Statement, Condensed Group 
Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Group Statement of Changes in 
Equity, the Condensed Group Balance Sheet, the Condensed Group Cash Flow 
Statement and the related explanatory notes.  We have read the other information 
contained in the interim financial statements and considered whether it contains 
any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in 
the condensed set of financial statements. 
 
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our 
engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure 
and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Services Authority 
("the UK FSA").  Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the 
company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no 
other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or 
assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for 
this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The interim financial statements are the responsibility of, and have been 
approved by, the directors.  The directors are responsible for preparing the 
interim financial statements in accordance with the DTR of the UK FSA. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are 
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
adopted by the EU.  The condensed set of financial statements included in these 
interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 
Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed 
set of financial statements in the interim financial statements based on our 
review. 
 
Scope of review 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review 
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information 
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing 
Practices Board for use in the UK.  A review of interim financial information 
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and 
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.  A 
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with 
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not 
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant 
matters that might be identified in an audit.  Accordingly, we do not express an 
audit opinion. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe 
that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial 
statements for the 28 weeks ended 14 August 2010 is not prepared, in all 
material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of 
the UK FSA.
