Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided thereunder. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which we operate, including competition, growth and trends in our markets and industry; our strategies, outcomes and prospects; our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions; and future events or performance made in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:
•the impact on both the supply and demand for our products caused by general economic conditions, such as the macroeconomic pressures in Canada and/or the U.S., and changes in consumer confidence and spending;
•our ability to anticipate consumer demand and to source and process a sufficient quantity of quality secondhand items at attractive prices on a recurring basis;
•risks related to attracting new, and retaining existing customers, including by increasing acceptance of secondhand items among new and growing customer demographics;
•risks associated with our status as a “brick and mortar” only retailer and our lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace;
•our failure to open new profitable stores or successfully enter new markets on a timely basis or at all;
•risks associated with conducting business internationally, including challenges related to serving customers that are international manufacturers and suppliers, such as transportation and shipping challenges, regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions (particularly in Canada, where we maintain extensive operations) and exchange rate risks, which we may not choose to fully hedge;
•the loss of, or disruption or interruption in the operations of, our centralized processing centers and other offsite processing locations;
•risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and the potential for adverse outcomes;
•our failure to properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel or to manage labor costs;
•risks associated with the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of our computer networks and other electronic systems, including e-mail;
•changes in government regulations, procedures and requirements;
•our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls and produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations;
•risks associated with heightened geopolitical instability due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe;
•the outbreak of viruses or widespread illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters or other highly disruptive events and regulatory responses thereto; and
•other factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025.
These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and while we believe that information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, that information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Moreover, factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We are not under any obligation (and we specifically disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of business
Savers Value Village, Inc., a Washington State based company, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), sells secondhand merchandise primarily in retail stores located in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and Australia. Items that are unsuited for or unsold at retail stores are marketed to wholesale customers.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 2025 and for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, have not been audited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, and related notes included in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year, which ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31.
All dollar and share amounts in the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, with the exception of per share amounts, are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of insurance reserves, impairment assessments associated with our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue recognition
The following table disaggregates our revenue by retail and wholesale for the periods presented:

Note 3. 2 Peaches Acquisition
On May 6, 2024, the Company acquired all of the equity of 2 Peaches Group, LLC (“2 Peaches”) for $5.4 million, which was comprised of cash consideration of $3.5 million, including a holdback of $0.5 million, and acquisition-related contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $1.9 million (the “2 Peaches Acquisition”). 2 Peaches is a thrift store chain with seven locations in the Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. The acquired stores are the Company’s first locations in the state of Georgia and will serve as a base for the Company’s entrance and expansion into the southeast region of the U.S.
The acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangement with an initial fair value of $1.9 million requires us to make a future cash payment of up to $2.7 million upon achievement of specific milestones; the associated liability is classified in other liabilities in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 5. Fair Value Measurements for information on the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Note 4. Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | December 28, 2024 |
Senior Secured Notes | $ | 401,000 | | | $ | 445,500 | |

Long-term debt, net | $ | 699,278 | | | $ | 735,133 | |
On February 6, 2025, the Company redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, equal to 10% of the outstanding balance at December 28, 2024. In addition to paying accrued interest, the Company paid a premium of 3%, or $1.3 million, on the partial redemption. This transaction resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million.
As of March 29, 2025, there were no advances on the Revolving Credit Facility, there were $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding and $124.1 million was available to borrow.
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes fair value measurements for its financial assets and financial liabilities and fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is based upon a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs are inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring fair value measurements
The following table presents financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 29, 2025:

Liabilities: | | | | | | | |
Acquisition-related contingent consideration | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,000 | | | $ | 2,000 | |
Money market funds, consisting of short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets and are classified within level 1. Forward contracts are fair valued using independent valuation services, and the valuations are based on observable market data. As such, the forward contracts are classified within Level 2. The Company reviews the independent valuation and obtains an understanding of the methods used in pricing the instruments.
The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability is measured using the probability-weighted present value of the potential payment. The probability-weighted present value of the potential payment is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration has been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used in the fair value measurement of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability as of March 29, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration Liability | | Valuation Technique | | Unobservable Input | | Range |
Potential payment | | Probability-weighted present value | | Probability of payment | | 0% - 100% |

Other fair value disclosures
The fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes, based on Level 1 inputs, was $417.7 million and $467.6 million at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The fair value of borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities approximate their carrying value as the current rates approximate rates on similar debt and were based on rate notices provided by the Administrative Agent (Level 2 inputs) at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024.
Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a result of its operating and financing activities, the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These market risks may adversely affect the Company’s operating results, cash flows and financial position. The Company seeks to manage risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of forward contracts or cross currency swaps or both, and from time to time, may use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of changes in interest rates. The Company’s forward contracts are not collateralized and are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions that are monitored for counterparty risk. Refer to Note 5. Fair Value Measurements for information on the fair value of our derivative financial instruments.
Foreign currency contracts
The Company operates in foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company uses forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar (“USD”) – Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and may also use cross currency swaps for the same reason. Forward contracts lock in the exchange rate for a portion of the estimated cash flows of the Company’s Canadian operations. As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company’s forward contracts had USD equivalent notional amounts of $103.9 million and $102.5 million, respectively. In April 2024, the Company terminated its cross currency swaps, resulting in net proceeds of $28.1 million. These cross currency swaps were not designated in hedging relationships.
Interest rate swap contracts
The Company’s market risk is affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest based on market rates plus an applicable margin. Because the interest rate on the Company’s floating-rate debt is tied to market rates, the Company may from time to time manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps, as used by the Company, involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company previously entered into two interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. In April 2024, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps, resulting in net proceeds of $10.3 million. All amounts deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income prior to termination will be amortized to interest expense through May 2025, being the original maturity date of the interest rate swaps.
The fair value of forward contracts were as follows:

As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company’s total deferred gain in accumulated other comprehensive income in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net loss are recognized in interest expense, net in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Within the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.8 million of gains recognized within accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as a decrease in interest expense, net.
Note 7. Segments
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on the geographies in which it conducts its retail operations, and separately for its wholesale operations, each of which represents an operating segment. For disclosure purposes, U.S. Retail and Canada Retail were determined to be reportable segments. Neither the Company’s retail operations in Australia nor its wholesale operations meet the quantitative thresholds to be reported separately and since they do not share similar economic characteristics, they have been combined and disclosed within Other Profit. We do not separately present assets for our reportable segments because the Company’s CODM is not provided these amounts.
General corporate expenses include unallocated corporate overhead recorded in salaries, wages and benefits, and selling, general and administrative in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its calculation of segment profit to include, among other things, lease expense as recognized under Topic 842, consistent with the information provided to the CODM. Previously, segment profit included cash-basis rent. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect this change, resulting in a decrease in segment profit of $1.2 million for the U.S. Retail segment and $0.8 million for the Canada Retail segment for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Segment profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to our GAAP measures of operating income, net loss or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of the Company’s performance or as a measure of its liquidity.
Our segment results are presented in the tables below. In each table, “Other profit” is attributable to the Australia Retail and Wholesale operating segments which have been combined.

(1)For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of 12.6 million and 8.1 million, respectively, of potential shares of common stock relating to awards of stock options and restricted stock units that, if exercised or vested, would have been antidilutive.
Note 9. Share Repurchases
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, under our $50.0 million share repurchase program announced in November 2023, we repurchased 1.4 million shares at a weighted average price of $8.43 per share at a cost of $11.8 million, excluding the impact of commissions and excise tax on share repurchases. As of March 29, 2025, we had $6.4 million remaining under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any minimum number of shares, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The timing, actual number and value of any additional shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Company’s common stock, general business and market conditions, other investment opportunities, and applicable regulatory requirements.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for interim periods is generally determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. Each quarter the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the Company’s estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.
The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was 16.6% and 90.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to stock-based compensation and Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) excess compensation.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) proposed model rules to ensure a minimal level of taxation (commonly referred to as Pillar II) and the European Union member states have agreed to implement Pillar II’s proposed global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%. We considered the applicable tax law changes from Pillar II implementation in the relevant countries in which we operate, and there is no material impact to our tax provision for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes in future reporting periods.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and regulatory matters
The Company is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters and may enter into settlement agreements, if in the best interest of the Company. From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. There are no pending significant legal proceedings to which the Company is a party for which management believes the ultimate outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “Savers Value Village”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to the business of Savers Value Village, Inc. and its predecessor entities.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations and reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report or in other parts of this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We are the largest for-profit thrift operator in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada based on number of stores and operate a total of 353 stores under the Savers®, Value Village®, Value Village Boutique™, Village des Valeurs™, Unique® and 2nd Ave.® banners. We are committed to redefining secondhand shopping by providing one-of-a-kind, low-priced merchandise ranging from quality clothing to home goods in an exciting treasure-hunt shopping environment. We purchase secondhand textiles (e.g., clothing, bedding and bath items), shoes, accessories, housewares, books and other goods from our non-profit partners (“NPPs”). We then process, select, price, merchandise and sell these items in our stores. Items that are unsuited for or unsold at retail stores are marketed to wholesale customers who reuse or repurpose the items they purchase from us. We believe our hyper-local and socially responsible procurement model, industry-leading and innovative operations, differentiated value proposition and deep relationships with our customers distinguish us from other secondhand and value-based retailers. Our business model is rooted in sustainability and contributing to the communities we serve, with a mission to positively impact our stakeholders: thrifters, NPPs and their donors, our team members and our stockholders. As a leader and pioneer of the for-profit thrift category, we seek to positively impact the environment by reducing waste and extending the life of reusable goods. The vast majority of the clothing and textiles we source is sold to our retail or wholesale customers.
We offer a dynamic, ever-changing selection of items, with an average unit retail price of approximately $5. Our most engaged customers are members of our Super Savers Club® loyalty program. As of March 29, 2025, we had approximately 6.0 million total active members enrolled in our U.S. and Canadian loyalty programs who have shopped with us within the last twelve months, compared to approximately 5.5 million total active members as of March 30, 2024. Active members drove 72.6% of retail sales during the twelve months ended March 29, 2025, compared to 70.9% during the twelve months ended March 30, 2024.
We have innovated and invested in the development of significant operational expertise in order to integrate the three highly-complex parts of thrift operations—supply and processing, retail, and sales to wholesale markets. Our business model enables us to provide value to our NPPs and our customers, while driving attractive profitability and cash flow.
Our strategy is to locally source our merchandise by purchasing secondhand items donated to our NPPs, which provides them with revenue to support their community-focused missions. This also aids in creating a broad and diverse selection for our customers, fosters a sense of community, and reduces transportation costs and emissions typically associated with the production and distribution of new merchandise. While purchases made by our customers in our stores do not directly benefit any NPP, we pay a market-competitive contractual rate to purchase donated items.
We source our merchandise primarily through three distinct and strategic procurement models: (i) on-site donations (“OSDs”), (ii) GreenDrop locations and (iii) delivered supply. Increasing the proportion of OSDs and GreenDrop as a percentage of total supply is desirable as donations from these sources are usually of higher quality and collectively have a lower cost than product sourced through other channels. OSDs and GreenDrop are collectively the largest part of our supply mix, accounting for 74.0% of our total pounds processed for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to 71.9% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
•OSDs: Donations of items by individuals to our NPPs, made at Community Donation Centers (“CDCs”) located at our stores. We operate as a registered professional fundraiser where required, accepting donations on behalf of our NPPs. Each store is specifically designated as an OSD location for a particular NPP, such that all donations received at the CDC are credited to that NPP.
•GreenDrop locations: Attended donation stations that collect donations of items made by individuals to our NPPs at convenient and well-signed brick and mortar and trailer locations in neighborhoods surrounding a store. On behalf of our NPPs, we solicit, collect, and deliver items from our GreenDrop locations to our stores and Centralized Processing Centers (“CPCs”).
•Delivered supply: Delivered supply comprises donations delivered either to our CPCs or our stores, or both. These donations can be collected by our NPPs through a variety of methods such as neighborhood collections or donation drives, or we may solicit, collect and deliver the items on behalf of our NPPs.
We leverage an analytical platform to measure the sales yield and product margin of each stream of supply in our stores. In general, this tool is either used to periodically confirm the performance of an existing stream of supply or to evaluate the performance of a new source of supply.
Our business model is predicated on sourcing and selling quality secondhand items to our customers in local communities. We are able to meet customer demand given our deep relationships with an extensive network of NPPs that is unmatched in the thrift industry.
The majority of our retail stores have a dedicated space that handles the processing of soft and hard goods that provide the inventory to be sold on our retail sales floors. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, we processed 262 million pounds of secondhand goods, compared to 238 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. We are actively implementing our offsite processing strategy which allows us to process goods at larger-scale facilities and distribute goods to multiple stores in a local market. The processing of donations under this strategy can occur at offsite warehouse facilities, stores with surplus processing capacity or at CPCs.
Our store experience directly reflects our mission to make secondhand second nature. We deliver a well merchandised environment that maximizes customer engagement and supports a core tenet for any thrifter—the treasure hunt. Our stores offer a wide selection of quality items across clothing, home goods, books and other items at convenient locations. Our sales floor inventory is also regularly rotated and refreshed, providing our customers with an extensive, ever-changing selection at tremendous value.
In support of our efforts to extend the life of reusable goods and recover a portion of the cost of acquiring our supply of secondhand items, we sell the majority of textile items that are unsuited for or unsold at retail stores to our wholesale customers (predominantly comprised of textile graders and small business owners) who supply local communities across the globe with gently used, affordable items like clothing, housewares, toys and shoes. Textiles not suitable for reuse as secondhand clothing can be repurposed into other textile items (e.g., wiping rags) and post-consumer fibers (e.g., insulation, carpet padding), further reducing waste.

Recent Developments
Macroeconomic Conditions
There remains significant uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment, driven by several factors, including global trade policies and tariffs. While we are not directly impacted by tariffs due to our hyper-local procurement model, in periods of perceived or actual unfavorable economic conditions, consumers may reallocate their discretionary spending, which may adversely impact demand for the Company’ products and our profitability.
Partial redemption of Senior Secured Notes
On February 6, 2025, the Company redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes and paid accrued interest and a premium on the partial redemption.
Share repurchases
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, under our $50.0 million share repurchase program announced in November 2023, we repurchased 1.4 million shares at a weighted average price of $8.43 per share at a cost of $11.8 million, excluding the impact of commissions and excise tax on share repurchases. As of March 29, 2025, we had $6.4 million remaining under the share repurchase program.
Key Performance Indicators
We use the key performance indicators below to evaluate the performance of our business, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe these metrics provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team.
The following table summarizes our key performance indicators for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | | |

Sales yield (3) | $ | 1.38 | | $ | 1.41 | | | | |
Cost of merchandise sold per pound processed | $ | 0.64 | | $ | 0.66 | | | | |
(1)Comparable store sales is the percentage change in comparable store sales over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Beginning in fiscal 2025, comparable store sales is defined as sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of 14 months. The impact of the change is inconsequential to prior periods, so we have not recast previous year amounts to reflect this change. For the periods presented, comparable store sales exclude stores acquired from 2 Peaches Group, LLC (the “2 Peaches Acquisition”). Comparable store sales is measured in local currency for Canada, while total comparable store sales is measured on a currency neutral basis.
(2)Total comparable store sales and the total number of stores include our Australia retail locations, in addition to retail stores in the U.S. and Canada.
(3)We define sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis.
Comparable store sales
Comparable store sales provides us with visibility into top-line performance on a like-for-like basis excluding new stores as defined above and excluding all closed stores as of the end of the current reporting period. We believe investors can use this metric to assess our ability to increase comparable store sales over time.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, our comparable store sales increased 2.8%, primarily reflecting higher average basket. During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, our comparable store sales increased 0.3%, primarily reflecting an increase in average basket size and transactions in our U.S. Retail segment, partially offset by a decline in transactions in our Canada Retail segment.
Number of stores
Our number of stores provides us visibility into the scale of our operations and is viewed as a key driver of long-term growth. We believe investors can use this metric to assess our ability to open new stores in high-growth markets while reducing the number of stores in low-growth markets.
Our number of stores increased to 353 stores as of March 29, 2025, from 326 stores as of March 30, 2024. The increase in stores resulted from the opening of 10 net new stores in the U.S., seven net new stores in Canada and three new stores in Australia, as well as the addition of seven stores through the 2 Peaches Acquisition.
Pounds processed and supply mix
We define pounds processed as the total number of pounds of goods processed during the period, excluding furniture and other large items. This metric is an indicator of the amount of secondhand goods processed during the period and is typically a key driver of top-line sales growth. We process inventory by receiving goods directly from our NPPs or through OSDs and GreenDrop, sorting them, and placing them on the sales floor. Increasing the proportion of OSDs and GreenDrop as a percentage of total supply is desirable as donations from these sources are usually of higher quality and collectively have a lower cost than product sourced through other channels. We believe investors can use these metrics to assist in their evaluation of our sales growth and sales yield.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we processed 262 million and 238 million pounds of supply, respectively, of which 74.0% and 71.9% was comprised of supply from OSDs and GreenDrop, respectively.
Sales yield
We define sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis. We believe investors can use this metric as an indicator of the quality of goods we source, because when the quality is high, we are able to sell more items and/or sell items at higher prices from the volume we process than we would otherwise.
Our sales yield for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 was $1.38, compared to $1.41 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The 2.1% decline in sales yield primarily reflects a decrease in items sold per pound processed, partially offset by items sold at higher price points.
Cost of merchandise sold per pound processed
We define cost of merchandise sold per pound processed as cost of merchandise sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, on a reported basis, divided by total pounds of goods processed. We believe investors can use this metric to determine our ability to cost-effectively purchase and process supply items, and determine the value of incremental sales.
Cost of merchandise sold per pound processed during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 was $0.64 and $0.66, respectively.

Net sales
The following table presents net sales:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | | | | |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | March 30, 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Retail sales | $ | 350,759 | | | $ | 336,795 | | | $ | 13,964 | | | 4.1 | % |

Total net sales | $ | 370,145 | | | $ | 354,172 | | | $ | 15,973 | | | 4.5 | % |
Retail sales increased by $14.0 million, or 4.1%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase in retail sales resulted primarily from growth in our store base and a 2.8% increase in comparable store sales, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
Cost of merchandise sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization
The following table presents cost of merchandise sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization (“cost of merchandise sold”):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | | | | |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | March 30, 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Cost of merchandise sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization | $ | 168,503 | | | $ | 158,164 | | | $ | 10,339 | | | 6.5 | % |
Cost of merchandise sold increased 80 basis points to 45.5% of net sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to 44.7% for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The 80 basis point increase primarily reflects the impact of new stores, partially offset by the favorable impact of year-over-year growth in OSD’s.
Personnel costs classified within cost of merchandise sold were $105.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to $95.7 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The $9.8 million increase in personnel costs resulted primarily from growth in our store base and the opening of new offsite processing facilities.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we have updated the way we define personnel costs classified within cost of merchandise sold and have recast the prior period accordingly. This update had no impact on the total cost of merchandise sold. Specifically, we have updated personnel costs classified within cost of merchandise sold to include offsite processing production labor due to the continued growth of offsite processing. Historically, these costs were included in other costs classified within cost of merchandise sold.
Salaries, wages and benefits
The following table presents salaries, wages and benefits:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total salaries, wages and benefits | $ | 84,802 | | | $ | 83,697 | | | $ | 1,105 | | | 1.3 | % |
Personnel costs for our retail and wholesale operations increased by $5.0 million, or 10.6%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase primarily reflects growth in our store base and an increase to annual incentive plan expense.
Personnel costs for our corporate employees decreased by $3.9 million, or 10.9%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, primarily reflecting a $9.1 million decrease in IPO-related stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by an increase to annual incentive plan expense and non-IPO-related stock-based compensation expense.
Selling, general and administrative
The following table presents selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total selling, general and administrative | $ | 87,079 | | | $ | 77,743 | | | $ | 9,336 | | | 12.0 | % |
SG&A for our retail and wholesale operations increased by $11.6 million, or 18.0%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase resulted primarily from growth in our store base, rent and utilities, routine maintenance costs and pre-opening expenses.
Corporate SG&A decreased by $2.3 million, or 16.8%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in professional services and marketing expenses.
Depreciation and amortization
The following table presents depreciation and amortization:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Depreciation and amortization | $ | 19,358 | | | $ | 18,301 | | | $ | 1,057 | | | 5.8 | % |
The increase in depreciation and amortization resulted primarily from investments in new stores, offsite processing and information technology, as well as capital maintenance expenditures.
Interest expense, net
The following table presents interest expense, net:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Interest expense, net | $ | 16,030 | | | $ | 17,699 | | | $ | (1,669) | | | (9.4) | % |
Amortization of debt issuance cost and debt discount | 1,420 | | | 1,401 | | | 19 | | | 1.4 | % |
Gain on interest rate swaps | (2,636) | | | (3,024) | | | 388 | | | (12.8) | % |
Total interest expense, net | $ | 14,814 | | | $ | 16,076 | | | $ | (1,262) | | | (7.9) | % |
The decrease in interest expense, net was primarily due to a lower weighted average face value of debt and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate. The weighted average face value of debt decreased 8.3% from $802.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 to $736.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 due to debt repayments. Over the same period, the weighted average interest rate decreased 70 basis points from 9.73% to 9.03%. This decrease was due to a decrease in interest rates affecting amounts borrowed under our Term Loan Facility.
(Gain) loss on foreign currency, net

Gains and losses on foreign currency relate primarily to movements in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) relative to the U.S. dollar (“USD”). During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, the USD weakened against the CAD relative to December 28, 2024, resulting in remeasurement gains of $2.0 million arising primarily on USD-denominated debt held by one of our Canadian subsidiaries. We also recorded losses of $0.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 on derivative instruments we use to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, the USD strengthened against the CAD relative to December 30, 2023, resulting in remeasurement losses of $6.8 million arising primarily on USD-denominated debt held by one of our Canadian subsidiaries. We also recorded gains of $5.9 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 on derivative instruments we use to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Loss on extinguishment of debt
The following table presents loss on extinguishment of debt:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | | | | |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | March 30, 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Loss on extinguishment of debt | $ | 2,718 | | | $ | 4,088 | | | $ | (1,370) | | | (33.5) | % |
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, we redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.7 million.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, loss on debt extinguishment of $4.1 million comprised $0.7 million associated with the repricing of outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan Facility on January 30, 2024 and $3.4 million associated with the redemption of $49.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes on March 4, 2024.
Income tax benefit
The following table presents income tax benefit:

| Thirteen Weeks Ended | | | | |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | March 30, 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Income tax benefit | $ | (941) | | | $ | (4,492) | | | $ | 3,551 | | | (79.1) | % |
For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 million on loss before income taxes of $5.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.6%. For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, we recorded $4.5 million of income tax benefit on loss before income taxes of $5.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 90.6%. The decrease in our income tax benefit resulted primarily from a tax shortfall in stock-based compensation recognized during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to a windfall tax benefit recorded during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Segment results
The following table presents net sales and profit by segment:

Canada Retail | $ | 25,316 | | | $ | 34,713 | | | $ | (9,397) | | | (27.1) | % |
U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail sales increased by $18.2 million, or 9.4%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The increase in U.S. Retail sales resulted from growth in our store base, as well as a 4.2% increase in comparable store sales. The increase in comparable store sales was driven by higher average basket and transactions.
U.S. Retail segment profit decreased by $1.6 million, or 4.0%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The decrease in U.S. Retail segment profit primarily reflects growth in our store base, including pre-opening expenses of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in profit from our comparable stores.
Canada Retail
Canada Retail sales decreased by $5.5 million, or 4.1%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by growth in our store base and a 0.6% increase in comparable store sales. The increase in comparable store sales was driven by higher average basket, partially offset by a decline in transactions.
Canada Retail segment profit decreased by $9.4 million, or 27.1%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The decrease in Canada Retail segment profit primarily reflects deleverage of expenses as a percentage of net sales on comparable store sales.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. We also present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and constant-currency net sales. In the discussion that follows, we provide definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental to, and in addition to, the financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures as these are key measures used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions and evaluate compensation decisions. The Company presents Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because it considers these meaningful measures to share with investors as they best allow comparison of the performance of one period with that of another period. In addition, by presenting Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the Company provides investors with management’s perspective of the Company’s operating performance.
Adjusted net income is defined as net loss excluding the impact of loss on extinguishment of debt, IPO-related stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs, foreign currency exchange rate impacts, certain other adjustments, the tax effect on the above adjustments and the excess tax shortfall (benefit) from stock-based compensation. We define Adjusted net income per diluted share as Adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding the impact of interest expense, net, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, lease intangible asset expense, transaction costs, foreign currency exchange rate impacts and certain other adjustments. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales, expressed as a percentage.

Constant currency
The Company reports certain operating results on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the Company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the USD into the USD. Because the Company is a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on its reported results. In general, given the Company's significant operations in Canada, the Company's financial results are affected positively by a weakening of the USD against the CAD and are affected negatively by a strengthening of the USD against the CAD. References to operating results on a constant-currency basis indicate operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The Company believes disclosure of constant-currency net sales is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results by increasing the transparency of its underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, the USD was stronger relative to the CAD and the Australian dollar (“AUD”), which resulted in an unfavorable impact on our operating results. The Company calculates constant-currency net sales by translating current-period net sales using the average exchange rates from the comparative prior period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect.
A reconciliation of GAAP net sales to constant-currency net sales is presented in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have historically financed our operations primarily with cash generated by operating activities and proceeds from debt issuances. Although we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including restrictions in our current and future debt instruments, our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects and applicable Delaware law, which provides that dividends are only payable out of surplus or current net profits.
Our primary short-term requirements for liquidity and capital are to meet general working capital needs, fund capital expenditures and to make interest payments on our debt. Our primary long-term liquidity and capital needs relate to repaying the principal balance on our debt and making lease payments on our retail stores and processing facilities. We may also use cash on our balance sheet, cash generated from operations or proceeds from new borrowings, or any combination of these sources of liquidity and capital, to pay for acquisitions, to fund growth initiatives, to pay down debt or to conduct repurchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program, or any combination of the foregoing. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital are cash generated from operations and proceeds from borrowings, including borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 29, 2025, $124.1 million was available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by our operating activities are sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for the next 12 months.
See Note 4. Debt to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for details of our debt.
Share repurchase authorization
We announced on November 9, 2023 the authorization of a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of our common stock. Under the program, we may purchase shares from time to time in compliance with applicable securities laws, that may include Securities Act Rule 10b-18. The program is currently set to expire on November 8, 2025. Although our Board of Directors has authorized the share repurchase program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares under the program. In addition, the share repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time without prior notice. The amount, timing, and execution of our share repurchase program will be based upon a variety of factors, including the share price of our common stock, general market conditions, alternative uses for capital, our financial performance, and other considerations. Any repurchases will be funded by available cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows
Thirteen Weeks Ended March 29, 2025 compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
The following table summarizes our cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended |
(in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | | March 30, 2024 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 419 | | | $ | (5,800) | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (19,400) | | | (22,553) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (58,493) | | | (47,622) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 526 | | | (1,797) | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (76,948) | | | $ | (77,772) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 was $0.4 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. The $6.2 million increase is primarily due to a $15.0 million decrease in annual incentive plan payments, partially offset by reduced operating income. We also experienced additional net cash outflows from operating activities related to movements in our working capital balances during the quarter, which were not individually significant.
Net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 consisted primarily of a $29.8 million change in operating lease liabilities, a $10.3 million change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a $6.9 million change in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The change in operating lease liabilities resulted from lease payments. The change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted primarily from interest payments on the Senior Secured Notes, which are due every February 15 and August 15 through maturity. As of December 28, 2024, we had an interest accrual of $16.1 million on the Senior Secured Notes which was paid in February 2025. As of March 29, 2025, we had accrued $4.6 million which will be paid in August 2025. The change in prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily a result of an increase in prepaid taxes.
Net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 consisted primarily of a $29.3 million change in operating lease liabilities, a $20.5 million change in accrued payroll and related taxes and a $6.3 million change in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The change in operating lease liabilities resulted from the payment towards our lease liabilities. The change in accrued payroll and related taxes resulted primarily from the annual payment of incentive compensation to our employees. As of December 30, 2023, we accrued $24.4 million which was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. As of March 30, 2024, we accrued $3.8 million for employee incentive compensation, the majority of which was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The change in prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily a result of an increase in prepaid taxes.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $19.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and $22.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. Expenditure in both periods consisted primarily of investments in new stores, offsite processing and information technology, as well as capital maintenance expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $58.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 which consisted primarily of a $44.5 million principal payment on the Senior Secured Notes and $11.8 million of share repurchases under our share repurchase program.
Net cash used in financing activities was $47.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 and consisted primarily of $51.0 million of principal payments on our long-term debt, partially offset by $3.0 million of proceeds from stock option exercises and $2.4 million from the settlement of a derivative instrument.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the assumptions and estimates, as set forth in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, associated with the impairment assessments of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we believe these policies are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to various market risks. Our primary market risks are interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange risk associated with our operations in Canada and Australia. We continually monitor these risks, regularly consider which risks need active management and, when appropriate, develop targeted risk management strategies. We may manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates through the use of derivative financial instruments with the objective of reducing potential statement of operations, cash flow, and market exposures. We use derivative financial instruments solely to mitigate market exposure and not for trading or speculative purposes. Refer to Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
Interest rate risk
Changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest due on our variable rate debt. As of March 29, 2025, we had variable rate borrowings on the Term Loan Facility of $315.8 million and no advances under our Revolving Credit Facility. We currently use Term SOFR as a reference rate for our variable rate debt and any future increases in Term SOFR will inherently result in an increase in interest expense and cash paid toward interest.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our interest expense. A hypothetical 1 percentage point increase in Term SOFR would result in an increase to interest expense of $3.2 million over 12 months based on amounts outstanding and interest rates in effect as of March 29, 2025.
Foreign currency exchange risk
In addition to our U.S. business, we operate in Canada and Australia. Operations conducted entirely in each jurisdiction use that jurisdiction’s currency as their functional currency and changes in foreign exchange rates affect the translation of the results of these businesses into the USD, which is the reporting currency of the Company. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, approximately 40.3% of our net sales were denominated in a currency other than the USD. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the USD to the CAD would decrease our net sales by $13.7 million (and vice versa). A hypothetical 10% change in the relative fair value of the USD to the Australian Dollar (“AUD”) would not have a material impact on our operations. We will be susceptible to fluctuations in the USD compared to the CAD and the AUD if we do not hedge our exchange rate exposure. As such, we seek to manage the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of forward contracts or cross currency swaps or both. Forward contracts are maintained on a rolling 12-month basis.
At March 29, 2025, the entire $315.8 million balance on our variable rate borrowings is USD-denominated and is owed by one of our Canadian subsidiaries whose functional currency is the CAD. These variable rate borrowings expose the Company to remeasurement risk. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the USD to the CAD would decrease net income by $28.7 million. For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the USD to the CAD would increase net income by $35.1 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act) as of March 29, 2025. Based on the evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 29, 2025 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025, we have identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness resulted from ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change-management over certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. These control deficiencies were a result of: IT control processes lacked sufficient documentation; insufficient training and accountability of certain individuals with IT expertise; and inadequate risk-assessment processes to identify and assess changes in IT environments and controls that could impact internal control over financial reporting. As a result, process level automated controls that are dependent on the affected IT environment and manual controls that rely on system-generated data or reports from the affected IT environment were ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted.
Management Remediation Activities
To address the material weakness over ITGCs, we have initiated and continue to execute on a plan to establish more robust processes to support our design and operating effectiveness of ITGCs, which includes the addition of information systems compliance personnel. In addition, we have engaged external advisors who are assisting in strengthening our ITGCs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses noted above, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
