Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

August 3, 2024

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Citi Trends, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) is a leading specialty value retailer of apparel, accessories and home trends for way less spend primarily for African American and multicultural families. As of August 3, 2024, the Company operated 597 stores in urban, suburban and rural markets in 33 states.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2024 is derived from the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2023 Form 10-K. Results of a period shorter than a full year may not be indicative of results expected for the entire year as a result of the seasonality of our business, among other things.

Fiscal Year

The following contains references to fiscal years 2024 and 2023, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2024 has a 52-week accounting period, and fiscal 2023 had a 53-week accounting period.

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents/Concentration of Credit Risk

For purposes of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be high credit quality banks and institutional money market funds. The Company maintains cash accounts that exceed federally insured limits.

3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities, such as nonvested restricted stock. During loss periods, diluted loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation arrangements is accounted for using the treasury stock method. The Company includes as assumed proceeds the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized. For the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, there were 178,000 and 328,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, there were 234,000 and 215,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution.

Table of Contents

The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic)	8,336,629	8,224,762
Incremental shares from assumed vesting of nonvested restricted stock	—	—
Weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted)	8,336,629	8,224,762


	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic)	8,294,593	8,203,497
Incremental shares from assumed vesting of nonvested restricted stock	—	—
Weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted)	8,294,593	8,203,497

4. Revolving Credit Facility

In October 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, $50 million credit facility with Bank of America. The facility was amended in August 2015 and May 2020 to extend the maturity dates. The facility was further amended in April 2021 to modify terms and extend the maturity date to April 15, 2026. In May 2023, the facility was amended to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amended facility provides a $75 million credit commitment and a $25 million uncommitted “accordion” feature that under certain circumstances could allow the Company to increase the size of the facility to $100 million. The facility is secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and related assets, but not its real estate, fixtures and equipment, and it contains one financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is applicable and tested only in certain circumstances. The facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.20% and permits the payment of cash dividends subject to certain limitations. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest (a) for SOFR Loans, at a rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus a SOFR adjustment equal to 0.10% plus either 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75%, or (b) for Base Rate Loans, at a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case either 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%, based in any such case on the average daily availability for borrowings under the facility.

As of August 3, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the credit facility and $1.4 million of letters of credit outstanding.

5. Impairment of Assets

If facts and circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset or operating lease right-of-use asset may be impaired, the carrying value is reviewed. If this review indicates that the carrying value of the asset will not be recovered as determined based on projected undiscounted cash flows related to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. In the second quarter of 2024, non-cash impairment expense related to underperforming stores totaled $1.3 million, comprised of $0.7 million for leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment, and $0.6 million for operating lease right of use assets. There was no impairment expense in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023.

6. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the interim period in 2024 is based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to estimate the Company’s annual effective tax rate. For the first half of 2023 the Company used the discrete effective tax rate method to determine its tax expense based upon interim period results. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the annual effective tax rate method would not have provided a reliable estimate for the first twenty-six weeks of 2023.

As of August 3, 2024, we had approximately $13.7 million in net deferred tax assets (DTA). At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow us to realize these DTAs. If we are not able to generate sufficient taxable income to realize these DTAs, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our U.S. DTAs may be required, which would materially increase our expenses in the period the allowance is recognized and adversely affect our results of operations.

Table of Contents

As of August 3, 2024, our net DTA includes approximately $9.7 million related to net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income in future periods and reduce our income taxes payable in those future periods. NOL carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (Section 382) (or comparable provisions of foreign or state law) in the event that certain changes in ownership were to occur. In addition, tax credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 383 (Section 383).

We are required to evaluate our NOL and tax credit carryforwards and whether certain changes in ownership have occurred as measured under Section 382 that would limit our ability to utilize a portion of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards. If it is determined that an ownership change has occurred, there may be annual limitations on the use of these NOL and tax credit carryforwards under Sections 382 and 383 (or comparable provisions of foreign or state law).

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company from time to time is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business, including claims by customers, landlords, employees or former employees. Once it becomes probable that the Company will incur costs in connection with a legal proceeding and such costs can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes appropriate reserves.

While legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties and the outcome of any such matter is not predictable, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against it that it expects to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

8. Stock Repurchases

The Company periodically repurchases shares of its common stock under board-authorized repurchase programs. Such repurchases may be made in the open market, through block trades or through other negotiated transactions. There were no stock repurchases in the first half of 2024 or the first half of 2023.

At August 3, 2024, $50.0 million remained available under the Company’s stock repurchase authorization.

9. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of clothing and accessories to its customers with the Company’s performance obligations satisfied immediately when the customer pays for their purchase and receives the merchandise. Sales taxes collected by the Company from customers are excluded from revenue. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized at the point in time when the merchandise is paid for and control of the goods is transferred to the customer, thereby satisfying the Company’s performance obligation. The Company defers revenue from the sale of gift cards and recognizes the associated revenue upon the redemption of the cards by customers to purchase merchandise.

Sales Returns

The Company allows customers to return merchandise for up to 30 days after the date of sale subject to certain conditions. Expected refunds to customers are recorded based on estimated margin using historical return information.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s retail operations represent a single operating segment based on the way the Company manages its business. Operating decisions and resource allocation decisions are made at the Company level in order to maintain a consistent retail store presentation. The Company’s retail stores sell similar products, use similar processes to sell those products and sell their products to similar classes of customers.

Table of Contents

In the following table, the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by “CITI” or major merchandise category. The percentage of net sales for each CITI with the merchandise assortment was approximately:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	August 3,		July 29,		August 3,		July 29,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Ladies	27	%	27	%	29	%	28	%
Kids	22	%	21	%	22	%	22	%

Mens	17	%	17	%	16	%	16	%
Home & Lifestyle	9	%	8	%	9	%	8	%
Footwear	7	%	9	%	7	%	8	%

10. Leases

The Company leases its retail store locations, distribution centers, and certain office space and equipment. Leases for store locations are typically for a term of five years with options to extend for one or more five-year periods.

The Company analyzes all leases at inception to determine if a right-of-use asset and lease liability should be recognized. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and leases with mutual termination clauses are not included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments as of the lease commencement date.

Total lease cost is comprised of operating lease costs, short-term lease costs and variable lease costs, which include rent paid as a percentage of sales, common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance for the Company’s real estate leases. Lease costs consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, (ii) an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and (iii) the title and position of the Company’s CODM. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard will be effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact of the amended guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The new standard will be effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact of the amended guidance.

Executive Overview

We are a leading specialty value retailer of apparel, accessories and home trends for way less spend primarily for African American and multicultural families. Our high-quality and trend-right merchandise offerings at everyday low prices are designed to appeal to the fashion and trend preferences of value-conscious customers. As of August 3, 2024, we operated 597 stores in urban, suburban and rural markets in 33 states.

Uncertainties and Challenges

General Economic Conditions

We expect that our operations in the short-term will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions, including on-going inflationary pressures, which are particularly impactful to the communities we serve. Given the macro-economic environment, we expect low-income families to remain under pressure and to tightly manage their discretionary spend through the remainder of fiscal 2024. In addition, we continue to monitor the impacts on our business of unemployment levels, wage inflation, interest rates, inflation rates, housing costs, energy costs, consumer confidence, consumer perception of economic conditions, costs to source our merchandise and supply chain disruptions.

Seasonality and Weather Patterns

The nature of our business is seasonal. Historically, sales in the first and fourth quarters have been higher than sales achieved in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. In addition, sales of clothing are directly impacted by the timing of the seasons to which the clothing relates. While we have expanded our product offerings to include more non-apparel goods, traffic to our stores is still influenced by weather patterns to some extent.

Cyber Disruption (January 2023)

As previously disclosed, in January 2023, we experienced a disruption of our back office and distribution center IT systems, (the “January 2023 cyber disruption”). In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2023, we recognized $1.7 million of costs related to the cyber disruption in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Statement of Operations.

Several putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the Company and several inquiries have been made to the Company with respect to the January 2023 cyber disruption. At August 3, 2024, we had an accrual of $0.7 million for estimated losses in connection with these matters recorded in Accrued expenses on our Balance Sheet. For additional information regarding these lawsuits, see Note 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

Basis of Presentation

Net sales consist of store sales and layaway fees, net of returns by customers. Cost of sales consists of the cost of products we sell and associated freight costs. Depreciation is not considered a component of cost of sales and is included as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of store costs, including payroll and occupancy costs, corporate and distribution center costs and advertising costs.

Table of Contents

The following discussion contains references to fiscal years 2024 and 2023, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2024 has a 52-week accounting period and fiscal 2023 had a 53-week accounting period. This discussion and analysis should be read with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this Report.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company’s financial performance is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein. Expenses and, to a greater extent, operating income, vary by quarter. Results of a period shorter than a full year may not be indicative of results expected for the entire year as a result of the seasonality of our business, among other things.

Key Operating Statistics

We measure performance using key operating statistics. One of the main performance measures we use is comparable store sales growth. In fiscal years following those with 53 fiscal weeks, the prior year period is shifted by one week to compare similar retail calendar weeks. Additionally, for 2024, we updated our definition of a comparable store. We now define a comparable store as a store that has been open for at least 14 full consecutive months without closure for more than seven days within the same fiscal month. Remodeled or relocated stores are considered comparable stores if the selling square footage is not changed significantly, the store is not closed for more than five days in any fiscal month and the store remains in the same trade area. This change aligns more with industry standards in regard to measuring “comp store” sales performance. This change is effective for fiscal year 2024 and forward. For fiscal year 2024, the definition change results in six stores becoming comparable stores in 2024, which would not have become a comparable store until 2025 under the prior definition. The revised definition would result in no change to the full year 2023 comparable store sales results of 5.3%.

We also use other operating statistics, most notably average sales per store, to measure our performance. As we typically occupy existing space in established shopping centers rather than sites built specifically for our stores, store square footage (and therefore sales per square foot) varies by store. We focus on overall store sales volume as the critical driver of profitability. In addition to sales, we measure cost of sales as a percentage of sales and store operating expenses, with a particular focus on labor, as a percentage of sales. These results translate into store level contribution, which we use to evaluate overall performance of each individual store. Finally, we monitor corporate and distribution center expenses against budgeted amounts.

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023

Net Sales. Sales comparisons for 2024 to the prior year are affected by the shift in the calendar caused by last year having 53 weeks. Net sales increased $3.0 million, or 1.7%, to $176.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $173.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. The shift in the retail calendar contributed $7.9 million to revenue for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024. Comparable store sales, on a comparable weeks basis, decreased 1.7%, resulting in a decrease of $3.0 million in sales. Net store opening and closing activity resulted in a net decrease of $1.9 million in sales.

Cost of Sales (exclusive of depreciation). Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation) increased $14.4 million, or 13.4%, to $121.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $107.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 68.9% in the second quarter of 2024 from 61.8% in the second quarter of 2023. The 710 basis points increase was driven by an increase of 510 basis points of markdowns (from a strategic inventory reset) and a 220 basis points increase in shrink (driven by physical inventory results and accrual rate adjustment), partially offset by a decrease of 20 basis points in other cost of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million, or 6.1%, to $73.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $69.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by one-time CEO transition related expenses of $1.4 million, corporate expense (primarily payroll, insurance and professional fees) of $3.8 million, and store selling and advertising expense of $1.0 million, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense of $2.3 million. As a percentage of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 41.8% in the second quarter of 2024 from 40.1% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the aforementioned items.

Depreciation. Depreciation expense increased $0.1 million, or 1.6%, to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Impairment. Non-cash impairment expense related to underperforming stores totaled $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, comprised of $0.7 million for leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment, and $0.6 million for operating lease right of use assets. There was no impairment expense in the second quarter of 2023.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit was $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 24.4% and 29.2%, respectively. The difference is attributable to a higher projected net loss for full year 2024.

Net Loss. Net loss was $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to net loss of $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to the factors discussed above.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023

Net Sales. Sales comparisons for 2024 to the prior year are affected by the shift in the retail calendar caused by last year having 53 weeks. Net sales increased $9.6 million, or 2.7%, to $362.8 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from $353.2 million in the same period of 2023. The shift in the retail calendar contributed $10.2 million to revenue for the twenty six weeks ended August 3, 2024. Comparable store sales, on a comparable weeks basis, increased 0.7%, resulting in an increase of $2.6 million in sales. Net store opening and closing activity resulted in a net decrease of $3.1 million in sales.

Cost of Sales (exclusive of depreciation). Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation) increased $15.0 million, or 6.8%, to $235.9 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from $220.9 million in the same period of 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 65.0% in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from 62.5% in the same period of 2023. The 250 basis points increase was driven by an increase of 180 basis points of markdowns (as mentioned above) and a 180 basis points increase in shrink (as mentioned above), partially offset by a decrease of 80 basis points of freight and a decrease of 20 basis points in other cost of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million, or 5.4%, to $148.0 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from $140.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by one-time CEO transition related expenses of $1.4 million, corporate expenses (primarily payroll, insurance and professional fees) of $5.0 million, and stores selling and advertising expense of $2.5 million, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense of $1.9 million. As a percentage of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 40.8% in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from 39.7% in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023, due to the aforementioned items.

Depreciation. Depreciation expense increased $0.2 million, or 2.0%, to $9.6 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 from $9.4 million in the same period last year.

Impairment. Non-cash impairment expense related to underperforming stores totaled $1.3 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024, comprised of $0.7 million for leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment, and $0.6 million for operating lease right of use assets. There was no impairment expense in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023.

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit was $8.7 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 compared to $4.0 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023. The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks of 2024 and 2023 was 28.5% and 25.3%, respectively. The difference is attributable to a higher projected net loss for full year 2024.

Net (Loss) Income. Net loss was $21.8 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 compared to net loss of $11.7 million in the same period of 2023 due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation

Our capital allocation strategy is to maintain adequate liquidity to prioritize investments in opportunities to profitably grow our business and maintain current operations, then to return excess cash to shareholders through our repurchase programs. Our quarter-end cash and cash equivalents balance was $59.3 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $65.8 million at the end of the second quarter last year. Until required for other purposes, we maintain cash and cash equivalents in deposit or money market accounts.

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of: (i) cash and cash equivalents on hand; (ii) short-term trade credit arising from customary payment terms and trade practices with our vendors; (iii) cash generated from operations on an ongoing basis; and (iv) a revolving credit facility with a $75 million credit commitment.

Table of Contents

Inventory

Our quarter-end inventory balance was $135.0 million, roughly flat compared to $134.5 million at the end of the second quarter last year.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 were $5.6 million, a decrease of $1.3 million over the first twenty-six weeks of 2023, as we pared back our investments in new stores and remodels. We anticipate capital expenditures in fiscal 2024 to be approximately $13 million, primarily for opening new stores and remodeling existing stores, combined with ongoing investments in our systems.

Stock Repurchases

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. See Part II of this Report and Note 8 to the Financial Statements for more information.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility that matures in April 2026 and provides a $75 million credit commitment and a $25 million uncommitted “accordion” feature. Additional details of the credit facility are in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. At the end of the second quarter of 2024, we had no borrowings under the credit facility and $1.4 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $14.0 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 compared to $30.0 million in the same period of 2023. Sources of cash for the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 included net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses totaling $6.6 million (compared to net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $22.2 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023).

Significant uses of cash from operating activities in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 included (1) a $21.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities (compared to a $31.2 million decrease in the first twenty-six weeks of 2023) due primarily to payments of operating lease liabilities; (2) a $6.1 million increase in prepaid and other current assets (compared to a $3.8 million dollar increase in the same period last year); and (3) a $4.6 million increase in inventory (compared to a $28.7 million increase in the same period last year).

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $5.6 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 compared to cash used of $6.9 million in the same period last year. Cash used in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2024 compared to $0.8 million in the same period last year. Cash used in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 consisted of payments to settle withholding taxes on restricted stock that vested.

Cash Requirements and Commitments

Our principal cash requirements consist of (1) inventory purchases; (2) capital expenditures to invest in our infrastructure; and (3) operational needs, including salaries, occupancy costs, taxes and other operating costs. We may also use cash to fund any share repurchases, make any required debt payments and satisfy other contractual obligations. Historically, we have met these cash requirements using cash flow from operations and short-term trade credit. As of August 3, 2024, our contractual commitments for operating leases totaled $231.9 million (with $49.1 million due within 12 months). See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding lease commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

Table of Contents

There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Policies outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 3, 2024 pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information has been accumulated and communicated to our management, including the officers who certify our financial reports, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
