REQUIRED INFORMATION
The following financial statements and supplemental schedule for the Abercrombie & Fitch Co.
Savings and Retirement Plan are being filed herewith:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and the
Benefit Plans Committee of the Abercrombie & Fitch Co.
Savings and Retirement Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007,
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of
December 31, 2008 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic 2008 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Savings and Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
(1) Description of the plan
General
The Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan), originally effective July
1, 1998, and amended and restated in its entirety effective October 1, 2007, is a defined
contribution plan covering certain employees of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (the Employer).
Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan if they are at least 21 years of age and have
completed a year of employment with 1,000 or more hours of service.
As of October 1, 2007, the Plan was changed to allow terminated participants with account
balances from $1,000 to $5,000 to be rolled into a Fidelity IRA account.
Effective March 1, 2005, the Abercrombie & Fitch Company Stock Fund was frozen as an investment
option under the Plan, including exchanges in, contributions, and loan repayments. Subsequent to
the start of the freeze period, any participant contributions that were elected to go to the
Abercrombie & Fitch Company Stock Fund were invested in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio.
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan document and Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the
Plans provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
Contributions
Employers Contribution:
The Employer may provide a discretionary, non-elective employer contribution on behalf of
eligible active participants, who completed 1,000 hours of service during the Plan year and who
were employed on the last day of the Plan year, in an amount equal to 5% of annual compensation
up to the Social Security wage base and 8% of annual compensation thereafter.
The annual amount of compensation of each participant that is eligible for consideration under
the Plan is limited to the maximum amount permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The annual compensation limit for the Plan years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
was $230,000 and $225,000, respectively.
The Employer provides a matching contribution of 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of
the participants voluntary contributions.
6
Participants voluntary contributions:
A participant may elect to make a voluntary tax-deferred contribution of 1% to 50% of his or her
annual compensation up to the maximum permitted under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code
adjusted annually ($15,500 for 2008). This voluntary tax-deferred contribution may be limited by
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
If a participant will be age 50 or older as of the end of a calendar year, they may elect to make
catch-up contributions in that year. Catch-up contributions are deferral contributions in
excess of the limits discussed above and any other limit prescribed by law. For 2008 and 2007,
catch-up contributions could not exceed $5,000.
Rollover contributions are assets transferred to the Plan by participants who receive
distributions from other qualified plans. These contributions are not entitled to any employer
matching contributions.
Investment Options
Participants direct the investment of both their own and the Employers contributions into
various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers twenty-three mutual
funds and a common collective trust as investment options.
Effective October 1, 2007, the Fidelity Freedom 2045 Fund and Fidelity Freedom 2050 were added as
investment options.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of 1)
the Employers contributions, 2) investment earnings, and 3) administrative expenses. Allocations
are based on the participants contributions or account balances, as appropriate. A participant
is entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
Vesting
Participants are fully and immediately vested for voluntary contributions, the employer matching
contributions (for contributions made after April 13, 2003) and rollover contributions. A summary
of vesting percentages in the Employers matching contributions (for contributions made prior to
April 13, 2003) and the Employers discretionary non-elective contributions are as follows:

|
|
100 |

Payment of Benefits
The full value of a participants account becomes payable upon retirement, disability or death.
Upon termination of employment for any other reason, a participants account, to the extent
vested, becomes payable. Those participants with vested account balances greater than $5,000 have
the option of leaving their accounts invested in the Plan until age 65. Those participants with
vested account balances between $1,000 and $5,000 who have not elected to either have such
distribution paid to them or to an eligible retirement plan shall be rolled over to an individual
retirement account with a properly accredited and regulated financial institution. Prior to
October 1, 2007, a $1,000 minimum account balance was required for terminated participants to
retain their accounts in the Plan. All benefits will be paid as a lump-sum distribution. Those
participants holding shares of the Employers common stock will have the option of receiving such
amounts in whole shares of the Employers common stock and cash for any fractional shares.
Participants have the option of having their benefit paid directly to an eligible retirement plan
specified by the participant.
7
A participant who is fully vested in his or her account and who has participated in the Plan for
at least five years may obtain an in-service withdrawal from certain accounts based on the
percentage amounts designated by the Plan. A participant may also request a hardship distribution
from certain accounts due to an immediate and heavy financial need based on the terms of the
Plan.
Participant Loans
Participants are permitted to borrow from their account the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the
vested balance of their account, with a minimum loan amount of $1,000. All loans become due and
payable in full upon a participants termination of employment with the employer. The borrowing
constitutes a separate earmarked investment of the participants account. Interest on the
borrowing is based on the customary rate for similar loans within the geographic area in which
the Plan is administered.
Amounts allocated to participants withdrawn from the plan
The vested portion of net assets available for benefits allocated to participants withdrawn from
the Plan was $139,112 and $576,595 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures are used to reduce the Employers contributions. Forfeitures of $702,157 and
$1,238,327 were used to reduce contributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Expenses
Administrative expenses may be paid by the Plan unless the Employer elects to pay such expenses.
Substantially all administrative expenses of the Plan for 2008 and 2007 were paid by the Employer
except for loan administration fees, which are allocated to the borrowing participants account,
distribution processing fees, as well as certain other investment fees.
Brokerage fees, transfer taxes, and other expenses incurred in connection with the investment of
the Plans assets will be added to the cost of such investments or deducted from the proceeds
thereof, as the case may be.
(2) Summary of accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting,
including investment valuation and income recognition.
Estimates
The Plan prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits at the
date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits during
the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Risks
The Plan provides for the various investment options as described in Note 1. Any investment is
exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. These risks could result
in a material effect on participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements
of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits.
8
Investment valuation and income recognition
The Plan follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) No. AAG INV-1 and
Statement of Position No. 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts
Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and
Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans.
This FSP requires the Statements of
Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the Plans investments as well as the
adjustment from fair value to contract value for the fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a
contract value basis for the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Contract value
represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This
Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Refer to Note 3 for
additional information regarding the Plans adoption of this Statement.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Net (depreciation) appreciation in fair value of investments
Net realized and unrealized (depreciation) appreciation is recorded in the accompanying
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits as net (depreciation) appreciation in
fair value of investments.
Benefit payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.
(3) Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, for financial assets and
liabilities and any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes
a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements, which prioritizes valuation inputs as
follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities
that are available in active markets. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 inputs are other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value
measurement in the hierarchy. The three levels of the hierarchy and the distribution of the
Plans financial assets within it are as follows:

Mutual funds are classified as a level 1 asset and are stated at fair value as determined by
quoted market price, which represents the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year
end. Common stocks are valued as determined by quoted market price and classified as a level 1
asset. The common collective trusts fair value has been determined by the trustee sponsoring
the common collective trust by dividing the trusts net assets at fair value by its units
outstanding at the valuation dates and is classified as a level 2 asset.
The common collective trust invests in assets, typically fixed income securities or bond funds
and may include derivative instruments such as futures and swap agreements. The common
collective trust also enters into wrap contracts issued by third parties and invests in cash
equivalents represented in shares in a money market fund. The fair value of the net assets
within the trust are determined by 1) the quoted market price, when available; 2) investments in
wrap contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that considers recent fee bids as
determined by recognized dealers, discount rate, and the duration of the underlying portfolio
securities; and 3) underlying debt securities are valued at the most recent bid prices in the
market which the security is normally traded when quotations are readily available. When quotes
are not available, the trustee values the assets through a use of valuation matrices that
incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily
available, or if the security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close
of the market, that security may be valued by another method the Trustee believes accurately
reflects fair value.
Participant loans are classified as a level 3 asset and are valued based on remaining unpaid
principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest, which approximates fair value. The
following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Plans level 3 assets
for the year ended December 31, 2008:

(5) Tax status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Employer by a letter dated December
6, 2005 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of
the Internal Revenue Code. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the
Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Committee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with
the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is
qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
(6) Plan administration
A Committee, the members of which are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Employer, administers the Plan.
11
(7) Plan termination
Although the Employer has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer has the right under the
Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time. The Employer has the right at any time, by
action of its Board of Directors, to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA. Upon Plan
termination or partial termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts.
(8) Restrictions
The declaration of trust for the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio (the Fund) contains the
following restrictions:
|
a. |
|
Upon notification from the Employer of its intention to totally or partially
withdraw from the Fund a waiting period of one year is required prior to liquidation
provided, however, that the trustee of the Fund at its own discretion completes the
withdrawal prior to the one year period. |
|
|
b. |
|
Upon a participants request for an exchange to a competing fund (money market
funds or certain other types of fixed income funds) transferred amounts must be held in
a non-competing investment option for 90 days before subsequent transfers to a competing
fund can occur. |
|
|
c. |
|
The trustee of the Fund may defer completing any withdrawal under a or b above
where doing so immediately might adversely affect the Funds portfolio. |
As of December 31, 2008, the Employer has not requested a total or partial withdrawal.
(9) Parties-in-interest
Fidelity Management Trust Company, trustee of the Plan and its subsidiaries and affiliates,
maintain and manage certain investments of the Plan for which the Plan was charged.
The Employer provides certain administrative services to the Plan at no charge. The cost of
providing these services and the payment of these costs by the Employer, which is a
party-in-interest, constitute exempt party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.
Holdings of $403,373 and $1,327,230 of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. common shares were held by the
Plan at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
