Commenting, Ray Kelvin, Founder and Chief Executive, said:
"The Group has performed well during the first half of the year and the strength of the Ted Baker brand combined with our successful
multi-channel distribution strategy and careful international expansion has enabled us to deliver good growth for the period in an
unpredictable market.
The initial response to our Autumn/Winter collections has been positive. Since the period end we have opened new retail stores in
Bristol and Liverpool and look forward to the opening of our two new stores in the White City development in Westfield London.
The Board is, however, mindful of the uncertain economic environment and we remain understandably cautious about trading in the second
half of the year. "

Notes to Editors
No Ordinary Designer Label
Renowned for his quirky sense of humour and close attention to detail, Ted Baker has grown steadily since his beginnings as a shirt
specialist in Glasgow back in 1988. In fact, today Ted Baker is a global lifestyle brand that distributes through its own retail outlets,
leading department stores and key independents throughout Europe, USA, Middle East and Asia. Or as the man himself prefers to put it, 'No
Ordinary Designer Label.'
Using three distinct channels of distribution - retail, wholesale and licensing - Ted's pursued a policy of considered brand management
by: extending the breadth of his collections; controlling distribution channels; and developing his presence within key markets. This
approach has seen his offering and reach expand considerably without the essence of the brand being diluted.
His menswear collections blend the finest traditions of English tailoring with contemporary styling. What's more, from the limited
edition Global range to Endurance - a fusion of traditional tailoring with 21st century technology and high performance fabrics - and his
mainline collection, featuring denim, casual shirts, contemporary suiting, underwear and accessories, he offers something for every
occasion.
Elegant and feminine, Ted's womenswear collections are equally as impressive. Spanning dresses, tailoring, jersey, denim, directional
knitwear and accessories, they offer a complete Ted to toe look.
Expanding his offering even further, fragrances, footwear, eyewear, watches and lingerie are developed and distributed through licencees
- under Ted's watchful eye of course.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report a good first half performance from the Group in a difficult trading environment. This is once again due to the
strength of the Ted Baker brand, our dedicated focus on quality, our attention to detail and our multi-channel distribution strategy.
Retail sales rose by 17.5%, as we increased our presence in the UK, and licence income increased by 26.1%. Wholesale sales were 12.1%
down reflecting challenging conditions for some of our wholesale customers, the transfer of some wholesale accounts to retail concessions
and the actions taken in respect of those customers who are no longer appropriate for our brand.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Group revenue increased by 8.2% to �71.6m (2007: �66.2m) for the 28 weeks ended 9 August 2008 ("the period") and the composite gross
margin was above last year at 58.7% (2007: 56.6%) due to the change in the mix between retail and wholesale sales.
Operating expenses rose by 15.5% to �37.8m (2007: �32.7m). Distribution costs, which mainly comprise the cost of retail stores, outlets
and concessions, increased by 17.4% to �27.7m (2007: �23.6m), primarily reflecting the increase in retail space. Administrative expenses
increased by 10.8% to �10.2m (2007: �9.2m) principally reflecting the increased activity of our business.
Operating profit was up 2.0% at �7.3m (2007: �7.1m) with profit before tax rising 5.4% to �7.4m (2007: �7.0m). Basic earnings per share
increased by 7.8% to 12.4p (2007: 11.5p).
Cash flow from operating activities was �3.4m higher than last year, of which �1.5m reflected an improvement in working capital. Capital
expenditure increased by �3.8m compared to last year due to new store openings and refurbishments. Higher dividends paid of �0.5m resulted
in a net cash outflow before share buy-backs of �12.3m (2007: �11.4m). Including the cost of share buy-backs, the net cash outflow in the
period was �14.3m (2007: �16.4m).
DIVIDENDS
The Board has declared an increased interim dividend of 5.25p per share (2007: 5.0p), payable on the 28 November 2008 to shareholders on
the register at the close of business on 31 October 2008.
GLOBAL GROUP PERFORMANCE
RETAIL
The retail division delivered a strong performance with sales growth up 17.5% to �53.3m (2007: �45.4m). The retail gross margin was
64.6% (2007: 64.9%) with an underlying margin slightly ahead of last year, diluted by the effect of three outlet stores that were not open
in the comparable period.
Average retail square footage rose by 15% to 175,090 sq.ft (2007:152,249 sq.ft) as we expanded our retail space in the UK and sales per
square foot increased by 1.7% to �299 (2007: �294).
WHOLESALE
As anticipated, wholesale sales were 12.1% below last year at �18.3m (2007: �20.8m). We estimate that around half of this decline arose
from the actions we have taken in respect of those customers who are no longer appropriate for our brand. The business was also affected by
the transfer of some wholesale accounts to retail concessions. The underlying wholesale business continued to perform satisfactorily despite
challenging market conditions.
Wholesale gross margins were higher at 41.5% (2007: 38.4%) as a result of an improvement in the underlying margin and changes in the
product mix.
LICENCE INCOME
Ted Baker operates two types of licences: territorial licences covering North America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand;
and product licences covering perfume & fragrance, watches, footwear, eyewear, childrenswear and lingerie.
Licence income for the period was up 26.1% to �2.9m (2007: �2.3m) and included a full period of contribution from our licensed
childrenswear collection exclusive to Debenhams. We are pleased with the performance from our product licences and our territorial licences
continue to perform in line with our expectations.
COLLECTIONS
Ted Baker Menswear delivered good growth for the period with sales up 6.9% to �38.9m (2007: �36.4m). Menswear represented 54.3% of total
sales (2007: 55.0%).
Ted Baker Womenswear delivered a strong performance for the period with sales up 12.6% to �30.3m (2007: �26.9m). Womenswear represented
42.3% of total sales (2007: 40.6%).
Sales of other collections principally comprising Childrenswear and Footwear were below last year at �2.4m (2007: �2.9m) and represented
3.4% of total sales (2007: 4.4%). Increased footwear sales were offset by a challenging market for premium childrenswear.
UNITED KINGDOM & EUROPE
Our UK and Europe retail division performed well over the period with sales up 18.5% to �48.1m (2007: �40.6m).
Average square footage rose by 15.6% over the period to 147,733 sq.ft. (2007: 127,793 sq.ft). At 9 August 2008, total retail square
footage was 154,233 sq.ft (2007: 128,069 sq.ft), representing an increase of 20.4%. Retail sales per square foot increased 2.2% from �312 to
�319.
The period saw the opening of our 'Ted Baker and Friends' store on Cheapside, our first store in the City of London which continues to
perform well. Further store openings included Heathrow Terminal 5, Belfast, Cambridge and our second standalone store dedicated purely to
Womenswear in South Molton Street, London.
At 9 August 2008, we operated 29 stores (2007: 22), 92 concessions (2007: 77) and 10 outlet stores (2007: 8).
US
The performance of our US retail division was satisfactory in a difficult retail trading environment, although conditions worsened in
the latter part of the period. Sales increased by 9.4% to $10.5m against $9.6m last year, which in sterling was equivalent to sales up 10.4%
to �5.3m (2007: �4.8m) reflecting the strengthening of the dollar. We now have eight stores across the United States and, following its
opening in Las Vegas in April, one outlet store.
Average square footage rose by 11.9% over the period to 27,357 sq.ft (2007: 24,456 sq.ft). At 9 August 2008 total retail square footage
was up 14.7% on last year at 28,058 sq.ft (2007: 24,456 sq.ft). Retail sales per square foot fell 1.5% from �197 to �194.
MIDDLE EAST, ASIA AND AUSTRALASIA
Over the last two years we have continued carefully to expand the Ted Baker brand across the Middle East and Asia through our
territorial licence partners RSH Limited and Li and Fung Group of Companies.
Our 17 stores and concessions in these territories performed in line with our expectations. We continue to work closely with our
partners to ensure that the visual merchandising of the stores and the training of the teams reflect the Ted Baker ethos and culture.
In October 2007 we announced the opening of our first store in Melbourne, Australia, through a joint venture with our licence partner in
the territory and this continues to trade well.
CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK
Retail
Retail trading at the start of the second half continued in line with recent trends, although trading in the last two weeks has been
adversely affected by both the increased economic uncertainty and by unseasonably warm weather in contrast to a period of cold weather last
year.
Since the period end we have opened stores in the Cabot Circus development in the centre of Bristol and in the second phase of the
Liverpool One development in Liverpool city centre. We are opening two stores in Westfield London, a centre being developed in West London,
on 30 October 2008. The second store, located in the luxury village, will be called Ted Baker Pashion and will feature our high end women's
designer collection, Langley, and our fashion forward designer suit collection, Phormal.
We have also opened some further concessions, including a number in John Lewis resulting from the transfer of our wholesale business
with John Lewis to a concession arrangement. We estimate that closing retail square footage will total some 200,000 sq.ft and that the
average for the year will be some 185,000 sq.ft.
Wholesale
We continue to make progress in our wholesale division and expect an improvement in performance in the second half, although this will
be offset by the transfer of our wholesale womenswear business with John Lewis Partnership to a concession arrangement. As a result we
anticipate wholesale sales for the full year will reflect the trend of the first half.
Licence Income
Despite the challenging market conditions our licencees generally continue to report good progress and remain on track to meet
expectations for the second half.
Group Outlook
We remain confident that the Group is well positioned for the medium term and we continue to receive positive feedback from our
customers. The Group results for the full year will be dependent on trading in the second half of the financial year and, at this stage, we
remain cautious about trading given the uncertain economic environment.
We intend to make our next interim management statement, covering trading since the start of the second half of the financial year, in
mid November.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 5.25p per share (2007: 5.0p) payable on the 28 November 2008 to shareholders on the
register at the close of business on 31 October 2008.
6 Income tax expense
The Group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the 28 weeks ended 9 August 2008 was 29.0% down from
31.0% for the 28 weeks ended 11 August 2007 (52 weeks ended 26 January 2008: 30.9%).
The lower effective rate primarily reflects the reduction in UK taxation from 30% to 28% effective from April 2008. Otherwise, drivers
affecting the tax charge for the Group remain broadly consistent with the prior period and we expect the Group's consolidated effective tax
rate to remain at around 29%.
7 Share based payments
Equity settled awards are granted to employees in the form of share options or share awards. 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 vest. The vesting period is generally between three and five years and the share options expire between three
and ten years after grant. Awards will also expire if the employee leaves the Group prior to the vesting date.
The terms and conditions of the grant made during the 28 weeks ended 9 August 2008 are as follows:
Grant date Type of award Number of shares Vesting conditions Vesting period
4 April 2008 Share award 240,635 Growth in earnings 50% after three
per share over three years and the
accounting periods balance one year
later
4 April 2008 Share option 878,558
Growth in earnings 100% after three
per share over three years
accounting periods
The range of inputs into the Black-Scholes model were as follows:
At 9 August 2008
Share price 414.0p
Exercise price 0 - 414.0p
Risk free interest rate 3.99% - 4.1%
Expected life of awards 3-4 Years
Share price volatility 22.7% - 24.4%
Dividend yield 3.42%
The basis of measuring fair value is consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 26
January 2008.

12 Prior year restatements
Statement of changes in equity
The presentation of the Group statement of changes in equity within the 2008/2009 condensed half yearly financial statements is
consistent with the one presented in the 2007/2008 condensed half yearly financial statements except where noted below. Prior year
comparatives have been restated accordingly.
* Amounts previously shown as 'purchase of own shares for cancellation (net of sale of own shares)' and 'movements in respect of own
shares' have been reclassified under the following three lines: 'own shares acquired', 'transfer of treasury shares from Ted Baker PLC to
Employee Benefit Trust' and 'disposal of own / treasury shares'.
Section 162F of the Companies Act 1985 requires amounts received for treasury shares that are in excess of the cost to be recognised as
share premium. Although the amounts received by the Group on the sale of these shares in satisfaction of share options exercised in the 28
weeks ended 11 August 2007 were less than the original cost of the treasury shares, the transfer of shares between Ted Baker PLC and the
Employee Benefit Trust was at an amount greater than the original cost and therefore resulted in share premium arising. An amount of �85,000
has therefore been reclassified from retained earnings to share premium.
These reclassifications did not result in a change in shareholders funds at 11 August 2007.
Group Balance Sheet
The presentation of the Group balance sheet within the 2008/2009 condensed half yearly financial statements is consistent with the one
presented in the 2007/2008 condensed half yearly financial statements except where noted below. Prior year comparatives have been restated
accordingly.
* An amount of �2,152,000 in respect of 'other taxes and social security' has been reclassified from 'income tax payable' to 'trade
and other payables' for the half year ended 11 August 2007 in accordance with IAS 1.
* An amount of �85,000 has been reclassified from 'retained earnings' to 'share premium account' for the half year ended 11 August
2007 as explained above.
* An amount of �775,000 has been reclassified from 'property, plant and equipment' to 'prepayments' for the half year ended 11
August 2007.
These reclassifications did not result in a change to either net assets or shareholders funds at 11 August 2007.
Group Cash Flow Statement
The presentation of the Group cash flow statement within the 2008/2009 condensed half yearly financial statements is consistent with the
one presented in the 2007/2008 condensed half yearly financial statements except where noted below. Prior year comparatives have been
restated accordingly.
* Amounts previously shown as 'proceeds from issue of ordinary shares', 'purchase of own shares', 'sale of own shares' and 'shares
vested' have been reclassified as 'own shares acquired' and 'proceeds from option holders for exercise of options' in accordance with IAS
7.
* An amount previously shown as 'purchases of property, plant and equipment' has been reclassified as 'decrease / (increase) in
non-current prepayments' for the half year ended 11 August 2007, as explained above.
The restatements above did not result in a change in the "net cash movement" for the period as disclosed in the cash flow statement at
11 August 2007.
The restatements are consistent with those presented in the results for the year ended 26 January 2008.

(a) The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU;

(c) The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R, being related party transactions

Independent Review Report to Ted Baker PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the 28
weeks ended 9 August 2008 which comprises the Group Income Statement, the Group Statement of Changes in Equity, the Group Balance Sheet, the
Group Cash Flow Statement and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial
report 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 half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for
preparing the half-yearly financial report 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 IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has 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 half-yearly financial
report 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
half-yearly financial report for the 28 weeks ended 9 August 2008 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as
adopted by the EU and the DTR of the UK FSA.
