Commenting, Ray Kelvin, Founder and Chief Executive, said: 
"The Group's performance in the first half of the year has been better than 
expected given the difficult trading environment. This trend has continued into 
the second half and whilst we remain cautious, given the uncertain economic 
outlook, the initial reactions to our Autumn / Winter collections have been 
encouraging. 
 
 
We continue to benefit from our multi-channel distribution strategy and this, 
coupled with the strength of the Ted Baker brand and the support of our strong 
balance sheet, means we remain well placed to invest in the long term 
development of our business."

  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
The Group's performance in the first half of the year has been better than 
expected in an uncertain trading environment. 
 
 
We continue to benefit from our multi-channel distribution strategy through 
which we operate our retail, wholesale and licence businesses. Sales in our 
retail division were ahead of expectations, with sales up 15.0% to GBP61.3m on 
average selling space up 16.1%. We continue to experience difficult trading 
conditions in our overseas markets, offset by our better performance in the UK. 
 
 
As previously anticipated, wholesale sales were down 16.3% for the first half of 
the year, due in part to the difficult trading conditions being experienced by 
some of our wholesale customers, but mainly due to the transfer of some 
wholesale accounts to retail concessions and the closure of certain accounts no 
longer appropriate for our brand. We expect this trend to continue in the second 
half. 
 
 
The growth of our retail business, allied with the reduction in wholesale sales, 
is expected to lead to a shift in the phasing of profit from the first half to 
the second half of the year. 
 
 
FINANCIAL RESULTS 
Group revenue increased by 7.0% to GBP76.6m (2008: GBP71.6m) for the 28 weeks 
ended 15 August 2009 ("the period") and the composite gross margin was slightly 
above last year at 59.5% (2008: 58.7%) due to the change in the mix between 
retail and wholesale sales. Retail now represents 80.0% of total turnover (2008: 
74.5%) and we anticipate this figure being slightly higher by the year end due 
to the seasonally higher level of retail sales in the second half of the year. 
 
 
Operating expenses increased by 10.1% to GBP41.6m (2008: GBP37.8m). Distribution 
costs, which mainly comprise the cost of retail stores, outlets and concessions, 
increased by 15.9% to GBP32.0m (2008: GBP27.7m), primarily reflecting the 
increase in retail space against the same period last year. Despite the 
incremental activity of our business, administrative expenses reduced by 5.5% to 
GBP9.6m (2008: GBP10.2m), reflecting actions taken towards the end of last year 
to control costs. 
 
 
Operating profit was GBP6.4m (2008: GBP7.3m) resulting in profit before tax of 
GBP6.0m (2008: GBP7.4m). Basic earnings per share was 10.4p (2008: 12.4p). 
 
 
Net cash generated from operating activities was GBP4.1m (2008: -GBP0.1m). The 
increase on the prior year was principally due to an increased focus on working 
capital.  Capital expenditure of GBP2.5m (2008: GBP7.5m) reflects a lower number 
of store openings. This expenditure also included some refurbishment of existing 
locations. 
 
 
DIVIDENDS 
The Board has decided to maintain the interim dividend at 5.25p. This will be 
payable on 27 November 2009 to shareholders on the register at the close of 
business on 23 October 2009. 
 
 
PEOPLE 
Our performance in the first half of the year would not have been possible 
without the dedication and commitment of our team. On behalf of the Board, I 
would like to thank the team at Ted Baker for its continuing efforts and hard 
work. The team's enthusiasm and passion for the brand is a key factor in our 
continued success. 
 
 
On 14 July we announced that David Hewitt, Non Executive Director, had retired 
from the Board. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank David for his 
extraordinary contribution to Ted Baker over the last twelve years. David has 
been with the Company since its flotation in July 1997 and his retail and 
business experience has greatly benefited Ted Baker during its period of growth. 
We all wish him a long and healthy retirement. 
 
 
GLOBAL GROUP PERFORMANCE 
 
 
RETAIL 
Improved trading in the UK offset a weaker performance in overseas markets, 
where conditions continue to be difficult. Retail sales were up 15.0% to 
GBP61.3m (2008: GBP53.3m) and the retail gross margin was 63.9% (2008: 64.6%). 
While we saw an improvement in the UK gross margin to 66.8% (2008: 66.2%), this 
was offset by a lower margin in our overseas markets due to increased 
promotional activity in highly competitive markets. 
 
 
Average retail square footage rose by 16.1% to 203,325 sq.ft (2008:175,090 
sq.ft). Sales per square foot decreased by 1.0% to GBP296 (2008: GBP299). 
 
 
WHOLESALE 
As anticipated, wholesale sales were 16.3% below last year at GBP15.3m (2008: 
GBP18.3m) with wholesale gross margins of 41.6% (2008: 41.5%). We estimate that 
around a third of this decline is due to the transfer of some wholesale accounts 
to retail concessions and a further third is due to the closure of certain 
accounts no longer appropriate for our brand. The balance represents the 
difficult trading conditions being experienced by some of our wholesale 
customers. 
 
 
LICENCE INCOME 
Ted Baker operates two types of licences: territorial licences covering the 
Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; and product licences covering 
perfume & fragrance, watches, footwear, eyewear and childrenswear. 
 
 
Licence income for the period was GBP2.5m (2008: GBP2.9m), which was 4.8% ahead 
of last year if we exclude the impact of our North American licence partner, 
Hartmarx Corporation filing for bankruptcy protection in January 2009. We have 
seen good performances from our licensed childrenswear collection, exclusive to 
Debenhams, as well as from our footwear and eyewear product licences. 
 
 
Hartmarx Corporation filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy 
code in January 2009 and has subsequently terminated its licence agreement with 
us. We have since signed new licence agreements directly with companies who 
previously held product sub-licences with Hartmarx and with a Canadian 
distributor previously contracted by Hartmarx. This situation has enabled us to 
actively manage the further expansion of our business in this territory and we 
will continue to explore potential opportunities. 
 
 
COLLECTIONS 
Ted Baker Womenswear delivered a strong performance for the period with sales up 
17.9% to GBP36.9m (2008: GBP31.3m). Womenswear represented 48.2% of total sales 
(2008: 43.8%). A significant proportion of the increase in turnover is due to 
the transfer of wholesale accounts to concessions with a resulting increase in 
performance. 
 
 
Ted Baker Menswear delivered a good result with sales of GBP39.7m down 1.5% on 
the prior year (2008: GBP40.3m). Menswear represented 51.8% of total sales 
(2008: 56.2%). 
 
 
UNITED KINGDOM & EUROPE 
Sales for the period in our UK and European retail division were up 16.6% to 
GBP56.1m (2008: GBP48.1m). While the UK has performed ahead of our expectations, 
our European stores have faced challenging conditions. 
 
 
Average square footage rose by 18.5% over the period to 175,007 sq.ft (2008: 
147,733 sq.ft). At 15 August 2009, total retail square footage was 174,046 sq.ft 
(2008: 154,233 sq.ft), representing an increase of 12.8%. Retail sales per 
square foot decreased 1.6% from GBP319 to GBP314. 
 
 
At 15 August 2009, we operated 32 stores (2008: 29), 122 concessions (2008: 92) 
and 10 outlet stores (2008: 10). 
 
 
US 
The US market remains challenging and sales for the period in our US retail 
division were down 23.8% to $8.0m (2008: $10.5m), which in sterling was 
equivalent to sales down 1.9% to GBP5.2m (2008: GBP5.3m). During the first half 
we opened one outlet store in Orlando and consequently now have 8 stores and 2 
outlet stores across the United States. 
 
 
Average square footage rose by 3.5% over the period to 28,318 sq.ft (2008: 
27,357 sq.ft). At 15 August 2009 total retail square footage was up 6.8% on last 
year at 29,953 sq.ft (2008: 28,058 sq.ft). Retail sales per square foot fell 
5.2% from GBP194 to GBP184. 
 
 
MIDDLE EAST, ASIA AND AUSTRALASIA 
Ted Baker now operates 18 stores and concessions in the Middle East and Asia 
through our territorial licence partners RSH Limited and Li and Fung Group of 
Companies. The stores continue to perform in line with our expectations and we 
were pleased to open a further store in Taiwan during the period. 
 
 
Through our licence partner we continue to develop the Ted Baker brand in 
Australia and our store in Melbourne, which we operate through a joint venture, 
has performed well during the period. 
  CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK 
 
 
Our Autumn / Winter collections have been well received and we were pleased to 
announce the launch in August of Born by Ted Baker, our highly designed men's 
casualwear collection. The initial reaction from our customers has been 
positive. 
 
 
Retail 
We continue to deliver a better than expected performance in the UK, while 
conditions in our overseas markets remain challenging. 
 
 
Our new store in Heathrow Terminal 1 opened in September and is performing well 
at this very early stage. Our Boston store is expected to open in October and we 
will take advantage of further opportunities for new stores in the US, should 
they be appropriate. We are also opening our second store in 
Melbourne, Australia at the end of October though our joint venture in the 
territory. 
 
 
Wholesale 
Trading in our wholesale business continues to be down against last year and we 
expect this trend to continue in the second half of the year. 
 
 
Licence Income 
Our product and territorial licences continue to perform in line with our 
expectations and we will continue to consider other opportunities in North 
America. 
 
 
Outlook 
At this stage, we continue to exceed our expectations. However, the economic 
environment remains uncertain and our outlook for the current financial year 
remains cautious. 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 trading 
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 15 August 2009 
 
 
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 15 August 2009 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group"). 
 
 
The Group financial statements as at and for the 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009 
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 53 weeks ended 31 January 
2009. These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors 
on 8 October 2009. 
 
 
The comparative figures for the 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009 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 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. These sections address 
whether proper accounting records have been kept, whether the Company's accounts 
are in agreement with these records and whether the auditor has 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 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009, approved 
by the Board on the 25 March 2009, 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 
2009. 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 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009. 
  Revised and amended standards and interpretations 
The following revised and amended standards and interpretations, which have all 
been endorsed by the EU, have been adopted by the Group in these interim 
financial statements. 
 
 
  *  Determination of operating segments - As of 1 January 2009 the Group has adopted 
  IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The new accounting policy in respect of segment 
  operating disclosures has not led to a change in the number and/or definition of 
  segments previously presented on the basis that the information disclosed is 
  consistent to that provided to the Board. 
 
 
 
  *  Presentation of financial statements - the Group has applied revised 
  IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements, which became effective as of 1 
  January 2009. This presentation has been applied in these interim financial 
  statements as at and for the period ended 15 August 2009. Comparative 
  information has been represented so that it is also in conformity with the 
  revised standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts 
  presentation aspects there is no impact on earnings per share. 
 
 
 
  *  Accounting for marketing expenditure - the Group has applied in its interim 
  financial statements amended IAS 38, Intangible Assets, which clarify the 
  accounting for the Group's marketing expenditure. This amendment has no impact 
  on the Group's net cash flows, financial position, total comprehensive income or 
  earnings per share. 
 
 
 
  *  IAS 23 (Revised), Borrowing Costs, has removed the option of immediately 
  recognising, as an expense, borrowing costs that relate to assets that take a 
  substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. The revised standard 
  requires such borrowing costs to be capitalised as part of the cost of the 
  asset. This revised standard has had no impact on the Group's net cash flows, 
  financial position, total comprehensive income or earnings per share. 
 
 
 
  *  Amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and IAS 1, 
  Presentation of Financial Statements, relating to puttable financial instruments 
  and obligations arising on liquidation. These amendments have no impact on the 
  Group's net cash flows, financial position, total comprehensive income or 
  earnings per share. 
 
 
 
  *  Amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, clarifies that vesting conditions are 
  service conditions and performance conditions only; other features of a 
  share-based payment are not vesting conditions. It also specifies that all 
  cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the 
  same accounting treatment. This amendment to IFRS 2 has no significant impact on 
  the Group's net cash flows, financial position, total comprehensive income or 
  earnings per share. 
 
 
 
  *  IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, addresses accounting by entities that 
  grant loyalty award credits to customers who buy other goods or services, and 
  has no impact on the Group's net cash flows, financial position, total 
  comprehensive income or earnings per share. 
 
 
2. Segment information 
 
 
The Group is organised into two core reportable segments: Retail and Wholesale. 
These segments are determined, as per IFRS 8, Operating Segments, on the basis 
of those segments whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Board, 
which is considered to be the chief operating decision maker.

3. Impairment losses 
 
 
The impairment losses of GBP1,786,000, recognised in the Group's consolidated 
financial statements for the 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009, relate to 
cash-generating units whose recoverable amounts (value in use) did not exceed 
the asset carrying values. In all cases impairment losses arose due to stores 
performing below projected trading levels. 
 
 
Full details can be found in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at 
and for the 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 5.25p per share (2008: 5.25p) 
payable on 27 November 2009 to shareholders on the register at the close of 
business on 23 October 2009. 
 
 
 
7. Income tax expense 
 
 
The Group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations 
for the 28 weeks ended 15 August 2009 was 29.0% (28 weeks ended 9 August 2008: 
29.0%, 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009: 29.3%). 
 
 
The factors affecting the tax charge for the Group remain broadly consistent 
with the prior period and we expect the Group's consolidated effective rate to 
remain at around 29%. 
 
 
 
 
8. Share based payments 
 
 
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 up to 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 grant made during the 28 weeks ended 15 August 
2009 are as follows: 
 
 
+--------+--------+---------+------------+---------+

Value Creation Plan 
 
 
The award of units is made under the Ted Baker 2009 Value Creation Plan ("2009 
VCP"), which was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 16 June 
2009. Units have no value at grant, but subject to the satisfaction of earnings

The current unprecedented trading environment has affected, and will continue to

deal with these challenges. 
 
 
In September 2008, having considered the trends envisaged for 2009, the Board 
took actions to reduce costs and commitments in line with these trends. This 
activity covered all aspects of our business and continues to be monitored and 
adjusted in light of the changing environment. 
 
There are a number of risks and uncertainties that face the Group, which are 
monitored by the Risk Committee and are detailed in the Group's consolidated 
financial statements as at and for the 53 weeks ended 31 January 2009.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements 
 
 
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements. These 
forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts or are 
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 15 August 
2009 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 15 August 2009 is not prepared, in all 
material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of 
the UK FSA.
