  • Charming Shoppes, Inc. 2002 Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ended February 1, 2003
    CHARMING SHOPPES, INC. 2002 ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 1, 2003 Dear Shareholder, Few of us thought apparel retailing could face more challenges than in 2001, one of the most difficult years the retail industry had ever faced. Yet, the year 2002 was besieged by the continuing economic downturn, the lowest consumer confidence levels in a decade, rising gas prices, and the unstable geopolitical climate, which finally culminated in our nation at war. Not surprisingly, all of these adverse conditions precipitated the most difficult retail holiday season since the 1970s. Challenging times, however, call for renewed commit- ment, determination and assessment, all of which helped Charming Shoppes achieve significantly+ improved income from operations in 2002. Our road to improvement in our income from operations was marked by a number of successes, but it also was beset with disappointment, most notably the performance of our Lane Bryant brand. Following a successful first half of 2002 – when we exceeded our profitability goals – Lane Bryant’s performance suddenly changed. Yes, it faced the same external challenges all retailers faced, but it was the internal issues that hurt us most. Simply put, the apparel assortments we invested in were not the merchandise assortments that our customers wanted. Our plans are to provide Lane Bryant customers with exciting new collections, starting in Fall 2003. Our management team and I are intimately involved in every aspect of the Lane Bryant revitalization. As the specialty plus-size leader in America, we continue to move forward by differentiating ourselves from our competition. One clear example is our corporate-wide Fit Initiative, which we launched in 2002.
