Dow Jones Description

Our Company, Restoration Hardware, Inc. (Nasdaq: RSTO), together with our subsidiaries, is a specialty retailer of high quality bathware, hardware, lighting, furniture, textiles, accessories and gifts that reflect our classic and authentic American point of view. We market our merchandise through retail locations, mail order catalogs and on the Internet at www.restorationhardware.com . Our merchandise strategy and our stores architectural style create a unique and attractive selling environment designed to appeal to an affluent, well-educated, 35 to 60 year old customer. Over the next decade, we believe one of the fastest growing segments in the U.S. population will be 45 to 60 year olds. We believe that as these customers evolve, so will their purchasing needs and desires. We also believe that our products can fulfill their aspirations to have homes designed with a high quality, classic and timeless style. Our positioning fills the void in the marketplace above the current home lifestyle retailers, and below the interior design trade, by providing products targeted to 35 to 60 year olds and centered around our core businesses that reflect a predictable, high-quality promise to our customers. We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st. Our current fiscal year is 52 weeks and ends on January 31, 2009 (fiscal 2008). The prior fiscal year was also 52 weeks and ended on February 2, 2008 (fiscal 2007).
