The accompanying Notes are an integral part of these Consolidated Financial Statements. 6 7 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INTERIM STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 3, 2001 ("Fiscal 2001") and of the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K. NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Company's businesses include the manufacture or sourcing, marketing and distribution of footwear principally under the Johnston & Murphy, Dockers and Nautica brands and the operation at October 28, 2000 of 815 Jarman, Journeys, Johnston & Murphy, Underground Station, Stone & Co. and Nautica retail footwear stores and leased departments. The Company sold certain assets of its Volunteer Leather business on June 19, 2000 and has discontinued all Leather segment operations. (see Note 2). BASIS OF PRESENTATION All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years' data to the current presentation. CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Included in cash and short-term investments at January 29, 2000 and October 28, 2000, are short-term investments of $47.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Short-term investments are highly-liquid debt instruments having an original maturity of three months or less. 7 8 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED INVENTORIES Inventories of wholesaling and manufacturing companies are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined principally by the first-in, first-out method. Retail inventories are determined by the retail method. PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND CAPITAL LEASES Plant, equipment and capital leases are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives: Buildings and building equipment 20-45 years Machinery, furniture and fixtures 3-15 years Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related lease terms. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-TERM ASSETS The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than carrying amount. HEDGING CONTRACTS In order to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in connection with inventory purchase commitments, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts for Italian Lira. Gains and losses from these transactions are included in the cost of the underlying purchases. At January 29, 2000 and October 28, 2000, the Company had approximately $30.1 million and $28.2 million, respectively, of such contracts outstanding. Forward exchange contracts have an average term of approximately four and a half months. The loss from spot rates at January 29, 2000 and October 28, 2000 under these contracts was $2.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company monitors the credit quality of the major national and regional financial institutions with whom it enters into such contracts. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Substantially all full-time employees are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. The Company also provides certain former employees with limited medical and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. REVENUE RECOGNITION Retail sales are recorded net of actual returns, and exclude all taxes, while wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns when the related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. 8 9 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED PREOPENING COSTS Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $16.8 million and $14.5 million for the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated and are evaluated independently of any future claims for recovery. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards limited, in the case of deferred tax assets, to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. (see Note 8). COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires, among other things, the Company's minimum pension liability adjustment to be included in other comprehensive income. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires that companies disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the company for making internal operating decisions. (see Notes 2 and 10). 9 10 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 2 VOLUNTEER LEATHER DIVESTITURE On May 22, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to sell its Volunteer Leather finishing business and liquidate its tanning business, to allow the Company to be more focused on the retailing and marketing of branded footwear. Certain assets of the Volunteer Leather business were sold June 19, 2000. The plan resulted in a pretax charge to second quarter earnings of $4.9 million ($3.0 million net of tax). Because Volunteer Leather constitutes the entire Leather segment of the Company's business, the charge to earnings is treated for financial reporting purposes as a provision for discontinued operations. The provision for discontinued operations included $1.3 million in asset write-downs and $3.6 million of other costs, of which $2.2 million are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. As of October 28, 2000, $1.2 million of such other costs had been incurred. Other costs include primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs. Other costs expected to be incurred beyond twelve months are classified as long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Volunteer Leather business employed approximately 160 people. The operating results of the leather segment are shown below:

Credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. One customer accounted for more than 16% of the Company's trade receivables balance as of October 28, 2000 and no other customer accounted for more than 12% of the Company's trade receivables balance as of October 28, 2000.

AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS New York State Environmental Proceedings The Company is a defendant in a civil action filed by the State of New York against the City of Gloversville, New York, and 33 other private defendants. The action arose out of the alleged disposal of certain hazardous material directly or indirectly into a municipal landfill and seeks recovery under a federal environmental statute and certain common law theories for the costs of investigating and performing remedial actions and damage to natural resources. The environmental authorities have selected a plan of remediation for the site with a total estimated cost of approximately $12.0 million. The Company has filed an answer to the complaint denying liability and asserting numerous defenses. The Company, along with other defendants, and the State of New York are participating in non-binding mediation in an attempt to agree upon an allocation of the remediation costs. Because of uncertainties related to the ability or willingness of the other defendants to pay a portion of remediation costs, the availability of New York State funding to pay a portion of remediation costs and insurance coverage available to the various defendants, the applicability of joint and several liability and the basis for contribution claims among the defendants, management is unable to predict the outcome of the action. However, management does not presently expect the action to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company has received notice from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the "Department") that it deems remedial action to be necessary with respect to certain contaminants in the vicinity of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company from 1965 to 1969, and that it considers the Company a potentially responsible party. In August 1997, the Department and the Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company assumed responsibility for conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study ("RIFS") and implementing an interim remediation measure with regard to the site, without admitting liability or accepting responsibility for any future remediation of the site. In conjunction with the consent order, the Company entered into an agreement with the owner of the site providing for a release from liability for property damage and for necessary access to the site, for payments totaling $400,000. The Company estimates that the cost of conducting the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure will be in the range of $2.2 million to $2.6 million. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the costs of conducting the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure contemplated by the consent order, but there is no assurance that the consent order will ultimately resolve the matter. The Company has not ascertained what responsibility, if any, it has for any contamination in connection with the facility or what other parties may be liable in that connection and is unable to predict whether its liability, if any, beyond that voluntarily assumed by the consent order will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. 16 17 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, CONTINUED Whitehall Environmental Sampling Pursuant to a work plan approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ") the Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil, sediments, surface water, groundwater and waste management areas at the Company's Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. On June 29, 1999, the Company submitted a remedial action plan (the "Plan") for the site to MDEQ. The Plan proposed no direct remedial action with respect to soils at the site, which are in compliance with applicable regulatory standards, or lake sediments, which the Company believes do not pose a threat to human health or the environment and do not violate any applicable regulatory standard. The Plan included the filing of certain restrictive covenants encumbering the tannery property to prevent activities disturbing the lake sediments and uses of the property inconsistent with the applicable regulatory standards. The Company, with the approval of MDEQ, previously installed horizontal wells to capture groundwater from a portion of the site and treat it by air sparging. The Plan proposed continued operation of this system for an indefinite period and monitoring of groundwater samples to ensure that the system is functioning as intended. The Plan is subject to MDEQ approval. In December 1999, MDEQ responded to the Plan with a request for further information. On June 30, 1999, the City of Whitehall filed an action against the Company in the circuit court for the City of Muskegon alleging that the Company's and its predecessors' past wastewater management practices have adversely affected the environment, and seeking injunctive relief under Parts 17 and 201 of the Michigan Natural Resources Environmental Protection Act ("MNREPA") to require the Company to correct the alleged pollution. Further, the City alleges violations of City ordinances prohibiting blight and litter, and that the Whitehall Volunteer Leather plant constitutes a public nuisance. The Company filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims against the City. The Company also moved to join the State of Michigan as a party to the action, since it has primary responsibility for administration of the environmental statutes underlying most of the City's claims. The State moved to dismiss the Company's action against it and to intervene in the case on a limited basis, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief regarding the restrictive covenants on the property, the State's jurisdiction under MNREPA Part 201 and its right of access to the property. On May 5, 2000, the court dismissed the Company's action against the State; the cross actions between the City and the Company remain. In connection with its decision during the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 to exit the leather business and to shut down the Whitehall facility, the Company formally proposed a compromise remediation plan (the "Compromise Proposal"), including limited sediment removal and additional upland remediation to bring the property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial uses. The Company estimated that the Compromise Proposal would include incremental costs of approximately $2.2 million, which were fully provided for during the quarter. 17 18 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, CONTINUED If the Compromise Proposal is approved and the litigation's outcome does not require additional remediation of the site, the Company does not expect remediation to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Compromise Proposal will be approved, and the Company is unable to predict whether any further remediation that may ultimately be required will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Whitehall Accident On June 4, 1999, a truck driver working under contact with a carrier for a chemical vendor died after inhaling a toxic vapor produced when he deposited a chemical compound that he was delivering to the Company's Whitehall, Michigan leather tannery into a tank containing another chemical solution. Regulatory authorities, including the National Transportation Safety Board and the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration, investigated the incident. The Michigan agency issued six citations alleging regulatory infractions identified in the course of a general compliance review following the accident. Proposed monetary penalties associated with the citations total $15,100. The Company is contesting the citations. On March 14, 2000, the estate of the deceased truck driver brought an action against the Company in Michigan state court alleging that the Company's negligent acts and omissions caused his death and seeking unspecified damages. The Company is currently unable to predict the extent of its liability, if any, in connection with the accident and how liability, if found, would be allocated among other potential defendants, including the chemical vendor and the common carrier, and whether such liability, if any, would have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company's insurance carrier is defending the Company in the action, subject to a standard reservation of rights to deny coverage. Threatened Contribution Claim The Company has been advised by the current owner of an adhesives manufacturing business formerly owned by the Company that the owner has been named a third-party defendant in a suit brought under CERCLA relating to an Alabama solvent recycling facility allegedly used by the business. According to the owner, it would in turn seek contribution from the Company against any portion of its liability arising out of the Company's operation of the business prior to its 1986 divestiture. The current owner has advised the Company that available information on volumes of contaminants at the site indicates that the entire share of liability related to the adhesives business is de minimis, not likely to exceed $50,000. Based on information concerning its relative contribution of wastes to the site the Company has agreed to accept approximately 40% of up to $50,000 in liability imposed on the adhesives business and the current owner and one other former owner have agreed to accept the balance of such liability up to $50,000. The Company does not expect this threatened claim to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. 18 19 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 10 BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company currently operates four reportable business segments (not including corporate): Journeys; Jarman, comprised of the Jarman, Underground Station and Stone & Co. retail footwear chains; Johnston & Murphy, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail stores and wholesale distribution; and Licensed Brands, comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear.

20 21 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This discussion and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include certain forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements in this discussion and a number of factors may adversely affect future results, liquidity and capital resources. These factors include changes in consumer demand or tastes that affect sales at retail or wholesale, particularly with respect to fourth quarter prospects in case of unexpected demand weakness in the holiday shopping season, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers, and risks associated with a softening economy, including the collectibility of trade accounts receivable. These factors also include disruptions in product supply, changes in business strategies by the Company's competitors, the Company's ability to open, staff and support additional retail stores on schedule and at acceptable expense levels and the outcome of litigation and environmental matters and the adequacy of related reserves, including those discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although the Company believes it has an appropriate business strategy and the resources necessary for its operations, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted and the Company may alter its business strategies to address changing conditions. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS Volunteer Leather Divestiture On May 22, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to sell its Volunteer Leather finishing business and liquidate its tanning business, to allow the Company to be more focused on the retailing and marketing of branded footwear. Certain assets of the Volunteer Leather business were sold June 19, 2000. The plan resulted in a pretax charge to second quarter earnings of $4.9 million ($3.0 million net of tax). Because Volunteer Leather constitutes the entire Leather segment of the Company's business, the charge to earnings is treated for financial reporting purposes as a provision for discontinued operations. The provision for discontinued operations included $1.3 million in asset write-downs and $3.6 million of other costs, of which $2.2 million are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months. As of October 28, 2000, $1.2 million of such other costs had been incurred. Other costs include primarily employee severance and facility shutdown costs. Other costs expected to be incurred beyond twelve months are classified as long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Volunteer Leather business employed approximately 160 people. Share Repurchase Program In total, the Company's board of directors has authorized the repurchase of 6.8 million shares of the Company's common stock since the third quarter of Fiscal 1999. This total includes the authorization in February of 2000 of an additional 1.0 million shares. The purchases may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of October 28, 2000, the Company had repurchased 6.4 million shares at a cost of $60.4 million from all authorizations. Business Segments The Company currently operates four reportable business segments (not including corporate): Journeys; Jarman, comprised of the Jarman, Underground Station and Stone & Co. retail footwear 21 22 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations chains; Johnston & Murphy, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail stores and wholesale distribution; and Licensed Brands, comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear. The Company operated in Fiscal 2000 the Other Retail segment, comprised of General Shoe Warehouse and the Jarman Leased departments, both of which were closed in Fiscal 2000. The Company also operated the Leather segment in Fiscal 2000 and some of Fiscal 2001. The Company sold certain assets of its Volunteer Leather business June 19, 2000 and has discontinued all Leather segment operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 The Company's net sales in the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 increased 25.5% to $175.6 million from $139.9 million in the third quarter ended October 30, 1999. Gross margin increased 26.9% to $82.2 million in the third quarter this year from $64.8 million in the same period last year and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.3% to 46.8%. Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter this year increased 23.1% from the third quarter last year but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 38.2% to 37.4%. Selling and administrative expenses were reduced $0.3 million in the third quarter this year for a reduction in pension expense. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following this introductory paragraph. Pretax earnings for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 were $14.3 million compared to $9.7 million for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999. Net earnings for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 were $8.8 million ($.36 diluted earnings per share) compared to $6.2 million ($.26 diluted earnings per share) for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999.

Reflecting both a 32% increase in average Journeys stores operated (i.e., the sum of the number of stores open on the first day of the fiscal quarter and the last day of each fiscal month during the quarter divided by four) and a 14% increase in comparable store sales, net sales from Journeys 22 23 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations increased 40.3% for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 compared to the same period last year. The average price per pair of shoes increased 4% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 and unit sales increased 35% during the same period. The store count for Journeys was 407 stores at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to 307 stores at the end of the third quarter last year. Journeys' operating income for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 increased 37.7% to $10.9 million compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999. The increase was due to increased sales from both store openings and a comparable store sales increase and increased gross margin as a percentage of sales. Journeys operating income decreased as a percentage of sales from 14.1% for the third quarter last year to 13.8% for the third quarter this year due to higher marketing expenses and costs associated with rapid store expansion.

Primarily due to a 23% increase in average Jarman stores operated and a 9% increase in comparable store sales, net sales from Jarman increased 32.0% for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 compared to the same period last year. The average price per pair of shoes decreased 1% in the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 while unit sales increased 27% during the same period.

The increase was due to increased sales and increased gross margin in dollars and as a percentage of sales, due primarily to changes in product mix and lower markdowns. 23 24 GENESCO INC.

Johnston & Murphy net sales increased 10.4% to $46.9 million for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 from $42.5 million for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999. Johnston & Murphy retail sales increased 11%. The increase reflects primarily a 2% increase in comparable store sales and a 6% increase in average Johnston & Murphy retail stores operated. Retail operations accounted for 60% of Johnston & Murphy segment sales in the third quarter this year, up from 59% in the third quarter last year. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 included 147 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores compared to 143 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2000.

The sales increase reflected strength in the Dockers Footwear business, which more than offset declining sales of Nautica Footwear. Unit sales for the Licensed Brands wholesale businesses increased 25% for the third quarter this year, while the average price per pair of shoes decreased 4% for the same period, reflecting increased promotional activities in the Nautica business. Licensed Brands operating income for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 increased 214.6% from $0.5 million for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999 to $1.5 million, primarily due to increased sales and decreased expenses as a percentage of sales.

The Jarman Leased departments business was closed in the first quarter of Fiscal 2000 and the remaining five Other Retail stores, which were General Shoe Warehouse stores, were transferred to the Jarman and Johnston & Murphy operating segments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The Company will no longer report results from the Other Retail segment. Corporate and Interest Expenses Corporate and other expenses for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000 were $3.6 million compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter ended October 30, 1999 or an increase of 21.8%. The increase in corporate expenses in the third quarter this year is attributable primarily to increased compensation, including increased bonus accruals and increased professional fees. Interest expense increased 10.5% from $2.1 million in the third quarter ended October 30, 1999 to $2.3 million for the third quarter ended October 28, 2000, primarily due to increased bank activity fees related to the increase in the number of individual bank accounts because of new store openings. Interest income decreased 52% from $0.4 million in the third quarter last year to $0.2 million in the third quarter this year due to decreases in average short-term investments. There were no borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility during the three months ended October 28, 2000 or October 30, 1999. 25 26 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 The Company's net sales in the nine months ended October 28, 2000 increased 20.8% to $464.4 million from $384.3 million in the nine months ended October 30, 1999. Excluding net sales attributable to the divested Other Retail business from last year, the Company's net sales increased 23.2% to $464.4 million in the nine months ended October 30, 2000 from $376.9 million in the same period last year. Gross margin increased 22.6% to $218.3 million in the first nine months this year from $178.0 million in the same period last year and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.3% to 47.0%. Selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months this year increased 19.2% from the first nine months last year but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 39.1% to 38.6%. Selling and administrative expenses were reduced $1.1 million in the first nine months this year for a reduction in pension expense as total pension expense for Fiscal 2001 is expected to be $0.3 million versus $1.7 million in Fiscal 2000. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following this introductory paragraph. Pretax earnings for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 were $33.6 million compared to $23.3 million for the nine months ended October 30, 1999. Net earnings for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 were $17.3 million ($.74 diluted earnings per share) compared to $14.4 million ($.60 diluted earnings per share) for the nine months ended October 30, 1999. Net earnings for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 included a $3.0 million ($.11 diluted earnings per share) charge to earnings (net of tax) for the divestiture of the Company's Volunteer Leather business.

Reflecting both a 30% increase in average Journeys stores operated (i.e., the sum of the number of stores open on the first day of the fiscal year and the last day of each fiscal month during the nine months divided by ten) and a 14% increase in comparable store sales, net sales from Journeys increased 39.8% for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 compared to the same period last year. The average price per pair of shoes increased 1% in the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 while unit sales increased 38% during the same period. The store count for Journeys was 407 stores at the end 26 27 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 compared to 307 stores at the end of the first nine months last year. Journeys' operating income for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 increased 37.1% to $24.0 million compared to $17.5 million for the nine months ended October 30, 1999. The increase was due to increased sales from both store openings and a comparable store sales increase. Journeys operating income decreased as a percentage of sales from 12.4% for the first nine months last year to 12.2% for the first nine months this year due to higher marketing expenses and costs associated with rapid store expansion.

Primarily due to a 13% increase in average Jarman stores operated and a 7% increase in comparable store sales, net sales from Jarman increased 19.9% for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 compared to the same period last year. The increase in sales and comparable store sales was driven primarily by Underground Station stores. The average price per pair of shoes increased 5% in the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 and unit sales increased 10% during the same period. Jarman operated 205 stores at the end of the first nine months of Fiscal 2001, including 50 Underground Station stores and ten Stone & Co. stores. It had operated 159 stores at the end of the first nine months last year, including 17 Underground Station stores and five Stone & Co. stores. Jarman operating income for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 was $3.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended October 30, 1999 and increased as a percent of sales to 4.4% from 1.8% for the same period last year. The increase was due to increased sales and increased gross margin in dollars and as a percentage of sales, due primarily to changes in product mix and decreased expenses as a percentage of sales. 27 28 GENESCO INC.

Johnston & Murphy retail sales increased 15%. The increase reflects primarily a 4% increase in comparable store sales and an 8% increase in average Johnston & Murphy retail stores operated. Retail operations accounted for 62% of Johnston & Murphy segment sales in the first nine months this year, up from 61% in the first nine months last year. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 included 147 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores compared to 143 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores at the end of the first nine months of Fiscal 2000.

The Jarman Leased departments business was closed in the first quarter of Fiscal 2000 and the remaining five Other Retail stores, which were General Shoe Warehouse stores, were transferred to the Jarman and Johnston & Murphy operating segments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The Company will no longer report results from the Other Retail segment. Corporate and Interest Expenses Corporate and other expenses for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 were $9.0 million compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended October 30, 1999 or an increase of 9.2%. The increase in corporate expenses for the first nine months this year is attributable primarily to increased bonus accruals. 29 30 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Interest expense increased 6.1% from $6.1 million in the nine months ended October 30, 1999 to $6.5 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2000, primarily due to increased bank activity fees related to the increase in the number of individual bank accounts because of new store openings. Interest income decreased 47% from $1.6 million in the first nine months last year to $0.9 million in the first nine months this year due to decreases in average short-term investments. There were no borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility during the nine months ended October 28, 2000 or October 30, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following table sets forth certain financial data at the dates indicated.
Oct. 28, Oct. 30, 2000 1999 -------- -------- (dollars in millions) Cash and short-term investments ............ $ 16.1 $ 38.5 Working capital ............................ $ 132.7 $ 135.2 Long-term debt (includes current maturities) $ 103.5 $ 103.5 Current ratio .............................. 2.4x 2.8x
Working Capital The Company's business is somewhat seasonal, with the Company's investment in inventory and accounts receivable normally reaching peaks in the spring and fall of each year. Cash flow from operations is generated principally in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Cash used in operating activities was $11.5 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2001 compared to $12.5 million of cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of Fiscal 2000. The $24.0 million decrease in cash flow from operating activities reflects primarily increased accounts receivable due to increased wholesale sales and extended terms and increased inventory due to increased new store openings and planned seasonal increases and a $6.5 million increase in taxes paid. Contributing to the inventory change was an increase in net stores and leased departments of 136 this year compared to a net decline of 9 last year. The $44.6 million increase in inventories at October 28, 2000 from January 29, 2000 levels reflects increases in retail inventory to support the net increase of 136 stores in the first nine months this year as well as planned seasonal increases. 30 31 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Accounts receivable at October 28, 2000 increased $13.0 million compared to January 29, 2000 primarily due to increased wholesale sales and lengthening of days sales outstanding due to changes in payment terms related to promotional programs. Cash provided (or used) due to changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities are as follows:
Nine Months Ended ----------------------- Oct. 28, Oct. 30, 2000 1999 -------- ------- (in thousands) Accounts payable ..... $ 16,766 $ 7,207 Accrued liabilities... (525) (3,938) -------- ------- $ 16,241 $ 3,269 ======== ======
The fluctuations in accounts payable for the first nine months this year from the first nine months last year are due to changes in payment terms negotiated with individual vendors, inventory levels and buying patterns. There were no revolving credit borrowings during the nine months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999, as cash generated from operations and cash on hand funded seasonal working capital requirements and capital expenditures. Capital Expenditures Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2001 are expected to be approximately $34.8 million. These include expected retail expenditures of $31.1 million to open approximately 101 Journeys stores, 15 Johnston & Murphy stores and factory stores, and 52 Jarman Retail stores which includes 32 Underground Station stores and three Stone & Co. stores, and to complete 39 major store renovations. Capital expenditures for wholesale and manufacturing operations and other purposes are expected to be approximately $3.7 million, including approximately $1.9 million for new computer systems to improve customer service and support the Company's growth. Total capital expenditures for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 were $28.7 million. The revolving credit agreement, as amended October 4, 2000, limits capital expenditures to $36 million for Fiscal 2001. Environmental and Other Contingencies The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has made provisions for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $2.4 million reflected in Fiscal 2001 and $472,000 reflected in Fiscal 2000. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and at least quarterly management reviews the Company's reserves and accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in 31 32 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relation to each proceeding is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no reasonable estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. Because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in particular, however, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional reserves to be set aside, that some or all reserves may not be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Future Capital Needs The Company expects that cash on hand and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund all of its capital expenditures through Fiscal 2001. The approximately $5.2 million of costs associated with the prior restructurings and discontinued operations that are expected to be incurred during the next twelve months are also expected to be funded from cash on hand. In February of 2000, the Company authorized the additional repurchase, from time to time, of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock. These purchases will be funded from available cash. The Company has repurchased a total of 6.4 million shares at a cost of $60.4 million from all authorizations for Fiscal 1999, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 2001. There were $7.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit agreement at October 28, 2000, leaving availability under the revolving credit agreement of $57.8 million. The Company's revolving credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends and other payments with respect to capital stock. At October 28, 2000, $32.2 million was available for such payments. The aggregate of annual dividend requirements on the Company's Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock, $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4, and on its $1.50 Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock is $300,000. FINANCIAL MARKET RISK The following discusses the Company's exposure to financial market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Outstanding Debt of the Company - The Company's outstanding long-term debt of $103.5 million 5 1/2% convertible subordinated notes due April 2005 bears interest at a fixed rate. Accordingly, there would be no immediate impact on the Company's interest expense due to fluctuations in market interest rates. Cash and Short-Term Investments - The Company's cash and short-term investment balances are invested in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company does not have significant exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash at October 28, 2000. 32 33 GENESCO INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As a result, the interest rate market risk implicit in these investments at October 28, 2000, if any, is low. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk - Most purchases by the Company from foreign sources are denominated in U.S. dollars. To the extent that import transactions are denominated in other currencies, it is the Company's practice to hedge its risks through the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts. Gains and losses from these transactions are included in the cost of the underlying purchases. The loss on contracts outstanding at October 28, 2000 was $2.8 million from current spot rates. At October 28, 2000, the Company had $28.2 million of foreign exchange contracts for Italian Lira. As of October 28, 2000, a 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts by approximately $5.2 million. Summary - Based on the Company's overall market interest rate and foreign currency rate exposure at October 28, 2000, the Company believes that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's consolidated financial position, result of operations or cash flows for Fiscal 2001 would not be material. The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137 in July 1999 to delay the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. Under certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative will depend on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. At this time, the impact of adopting the provisions of this statement is not currently estimable and will depend on the financial position of the Company and the nature and purpose of the derivative instruments in use at that time. 33 34 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 3.

                  $36,000,000 and the actual Capital Expenditures for such
                  Fiscal

                  Year, or (ii) $3,000,000 (such lesser amount being referred to
                  as the "Excess Capital Expenditures Allowance") shall be
                  carried forward so as to increase the maximum Capital
                  Expenditures which may be made in accordance with this
                  Subsection 7.5.4 for the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year,
                  but not for any other subsequent Fiscal Year, except to the
                  extent permitted by the next succeeding sentence. Capital
                  Expenditures made in any such succeeding Fiscal Year shall be
                  applied first to the Excess Capital Expenditures Allowance
                  carried forward until such Allowance is exhausted and shall
                  then be applied to the maximum Capital Expenditures specified
                  above for such Fiscal Year in determining whether an Excess
                  Capital Expenditure Allowance is available to be carried
                  forward to the next succeeding Fiscal Year in the manner
                  described in this Subsection 7.5.4.

                  (2) Section 7.6 shall be amended in its entirety so that such
         Section now reads as follows:

                           7.6 Restrictions on Fundamental Changes. The Borrower
                  will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to (i)
                  enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, or
                  liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any
                  liquidation or dissolution), or (ii) convey, sell, lease,
                  transfer or otherwise dispose of subsequent to the Closing
                  Date, in one or more transactions, all or any portion of its
                  business, properties or assets (real and personal, tangible
                  and intangible) or any stock or other Securities of any of its
                  Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
                  constituting in the aggregate for all of such transactions
                  consummated on or after the end of the second fiscal quarter
                  of Fiscal Year 2001 more than 10% of Consolidated Tangible
                  Assets as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of Fiscal
                  Year 2001; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default or
                  Potential Default has occurred and is continuing or would
                  occur as a result thereof, (x) any Subsidiary of the Borrower
                  may be merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any
                  direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, or be
                  liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or all or substantially all
                  of its business, properties or assets (real and personal,
                  tangible and intangible) may be conveyed, sold, leased,
                  transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a
                  series of transactions, to the Borrower or any direct
                  wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower; and (y) the Borrower
                  or any of its Subsidiaries may acquire any Person by merger or
                  consolidation, provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary
                  is the corporation surviving such merger or consolidation, in
                  any transaction that would not cause an Event of Default or
                  Potential Default under this Loan Agreement.

         B.       The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:



                                       2

                  (i) any and all representations and warranties made by the
         Borrower and contained in the Loan Agreement (other than those which
         expressly relate to a prior period) are true and correct in all
         material respects as of the date of this Sixth Amendment; and

                  (ii) No Default or Potential Default currently exists and is
         continuing under the Loan Agreement simultaneously with the execution
         of this Sixth Amendment.

         C.       The Borrower will execute such additional documents as are
reasonably requested by the Agent to reflect the terms and conditions of this
Sixth Amendment.

         D.       Except as modified hereby and except for necessary
modifications to exhibits to bring such exhibits in conformity with the terms of
this Sixth Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement (and
Exhibits) remain in full force and effect.

         E.       The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Sixth
Amendment, including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Agent's legal counsel.

         F.       This Sixth Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Sixth Amendment
to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

         G.       This Sixth Amendment and the Loan Agreement, as amended
hereby, shall be deemed to be contracts made under, and for all purposes shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.
