Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 and other legal authority, which statements may involve substantial risk and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally
relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements
because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,”
“anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative
of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions.
You
should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all or on a specified timeframe. The cautionary statements set forth in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Part I – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements.
These factors include, among other things:
| ● | our ability to sustain<br><br> recent growth rates; |
|---|---|
| ● | our ability to sustain<br><br> the recent increase in our Internet sales; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to manage the<br><br> growth of our operations over time; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to maintain,<br><br> grow and enforce our brand and trademark rights; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to improve<br><br> our products and develop new products; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to obtain,<br><br> grow and enforce intellectual property related to our business and avoid infringement or other violation of the intellectual property<br><br> rights of others; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to successfully<br><br> open and operate new showrooms; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the impact of any systems<br><br> interruptions that impair customer access to our sites or other performance failures in our technology infrastructure; |

| ● | any decline in consumer<br><br> spending including due to negative impact from economic conditions; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | our ability to compete<br><br> and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the effect and consequences<br><br> of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) public health crisis on our business operations and continuity. |
| --- | --- |
We
caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
You
should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe
may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking
statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very
competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to
predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved
or occur at all or on a specified timeline, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described
in the forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are
made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events
or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated
events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking
statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect
the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

THE
LOVESAC COMPANY
CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 2, 2021 AND MAY 3, 2020
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Lovesac Company (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”)
as of January 31, 2021, which has been derived from our audited financial statements as of and for the 52-week year ended January 31,
2021, and the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information
and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The
financial information presented herein, which is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full current fiscal year,
reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.
Due
to the seasonality of the Company’s business, with the majority of our activity occurring in the fourth quarter of each fiscal
year, the results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the full fiscal year.
Natureof Operations
The
Company is a technology driven company that designs, manufactures and sells unique, high quality furniture derived through its proprietary
“Designed for Life” approach which results in products that are built to last a lifetime and designed to evolve as our customers’
lives do. The Company markets and sells its products through modern and efficient showrooms and, increasingly, through online sales directly
at www.lovesac.com, supported by direct-to-consumer touch-feel points in the form of our own showrooms as well as through shop-in-shops
and pop-up-shops with third party retailers. The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 3, 2017, in connection with
a corporate reorganization with SAC Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAC LLC”), the predecessor entity
to the Company.
COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and, in the following weeks, the U.S.
federal, state and local governments issued lockdown orders and related safety measures impacting the operations of our showrooms and
consumer demand. Although there has been a general improvement in conditions, there continues to be significant uncertainties around
the scope and severity of the pandemic, its impact on the global economy, including supply chains, and other business disruptions that
may impact our operating results and financial condition. We continue to follow the guidance issued by federal, state and local governments
and health organizations and have taken measures to protect the safety of our associates and customers.
Operationsand Liquidity
The
Company has incurred significant operating losses and used cash in its operating activities since inception. Operating losses have resulted
from inadequate sales levels for the cost structure and expenses as a result of expanding into new markets, opening new showrooms, and
investments into advertising, marketing and infrastructure to support increases in revenues. The Company plans to continue to open new
retail showrooms in larger markets and increase its shop-in-shop relationships to increase sales levels and invest in advertising and
marketing initiatives to increase brand awareness. There can be no assurance that anticipated sales levels will be achieved. The Company
believes that based on its current sales and expense levels, projections for the next twelve months, current cash on hand and the credit
facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, see Note 7, the Company will have sufficient working capital to cover operating
cash needs through the twelve month period from the financial statement issuance date.
5
NOTE
2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Except
as described below, the Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption
of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements. The Company, as an emerging growth company, has elected
to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards.
Thefollowing new accounting pronouncements were adopted in fiscal 2022:
In
February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) amending lease guidance to increase transparency and comparability among
organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.
ASU No. 2020-05 extended the effective date to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance in fiscal 2022 and there was not a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-to-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $90 million and $97 million, respectively, and reclassification of deferred rent of $6.7 million as a reduction of the right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2021. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

NOTE
4 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty as to when business
conditions will improve sufficiently to enable it to utilize its deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company did not record a federal
or state tax provision or benefit on its operating income or losses for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020.
The
Company does not anticipate any material adjustments relating to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months; however, the
ultimate outcome of tax matters is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur. The Company had no material interest or penalties during
the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively, and the Company does not anticipate any such items during the next
twelve months. Our policy is to record interest and penalties directly related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE
5 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share includes, in periods in which they are dilutive, the effect of those potentially dilutive securities where the average market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise prices for the respective periods. In the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, the effects of 652,052 unvested restricted stock units, 495,366 stock options and 291,598 common stock warrants were included in the diluted share calculation.
In the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, there were 1,760,245 of potentially dilutive shares which may be issued in the future, including 225,759 unvested restricted stock units, 495,366 stock options and 1,039,120 common stock warrants. These shares were excluded in the diluted net loss per common share calculation as the effects of including theses potentially dilutive shares was antidilutive.

NOTE
6 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCY AND RELATED PARTIES
Leases
The
Company leases its office, warehouse facilities and retail showrooms under operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through
June 2031. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on our right to control the use of an identified
asset and our right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that identified asset. Certain operating leases
have renewal options and rent escalation clauses. We assess these options to determine if we are reasonably certain of exercising these
options based on all relevant economic and financial factors. Any options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at
lease commencement.
Lease
right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset pursuant to the lease for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent
the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement
of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based
on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the
location of the lease right-of-use asset, unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. We combine lease and certain non-lease components
for our showroom real estate leases in determining the lease payments subject to the initial present value calculation. Lease right-of-use
assets include upfront lease payments and exclude lease incentives, where applicable. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate
the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.
Lease
expense for operating leases consists of both fixed and variable components. Expense related to fixed lease payments are recognized on
a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred, where applicable, and include
certain index-based changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and
other charges included in the lease. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. In addition,
certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease payments, which are based on the usage of the underlying asset. The
variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment
amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.
ASC
842 requires companies to use the rate implicit in the lease whenever that rate is readily determinable and if the interest rate is not
readily determinable, then a lessee may use its incremental borrowing rate. Most of our leases do not have an interest rate implicit
in the lease. As a result, for purposes of measuring our ROU asset and lease liability, we determined our incremental borrowing rate
by computing the rate of interest that we would have to pay to (i) borrow on a collateralized basis (ii) over a similar term (iii) at
an amount equal to the total lease payments and (iv) in a similar economic environment. We used the incremental borrowing rates we determined
as of February 1, 2021 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. In the case an interest rate is implicit in a lease we
will use that rate as the discount rate for that lease. The lease term for all of our lease arrangements include the noncancelable period
of the lease plus, if applicable, any additional periods covered by an option to extend the lease that is reasonably certain to be exercised
by the Company. Our leases generally do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other
covenants. Some of our leases contain variable lease payments based on a Consumer Price Index or percentage of sales, which are excluded
from the measurement of the lease liability.

11 - BARTER ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a bartering arrangement with Icon International, Inc. (“Icon”), a vendor, whereby the Company will provide inventory in exchange for media credits During fiscal 2021, the Company exchanged $3,169,825 of inventory plus the cost of freight for certain media credits. To account for the exchange, the Company recorded the transfer of the inventory asset as a reduction of inventory and an increase to a prepaid media asset account of $2,937,035 which is included in “Prepaid and other current assets” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company used $544,323 in media credits. There were no additional barter arrangements entered into in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021. The Company had $1,976,948 and $2,521,271 of unused media credits remaining as of May 2, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively.
The
Company accounts for barter transactions under ASC Topic No. 845 “Nonmonetary Transactions.” Barter transactions with commercial
substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products exchanged, unless the products received have a more readily determinable
estimated fair value. Revenue associated with barter transactions is recorded at the time of the exchange of the related assets.
NOTE
12 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
The
Company’s revenue consists substantially of product sales. The Company reports product sales net of discounts and recognizes them
at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which occurs upon shipment is confirmed.
Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are recorded using our historical return patterns, adjusting for any changes in returns policies. The Company records estimated refunds for net sales returns on a monthly basis as a reduction of net sales and cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and an increase in inventory and customers returns liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of May 2, 2021, and January 31, 2021 there was a returns allowance recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the amount $1,109,023 and $2,226,723 respectively, which was included in accrued expenses and $219,405 and $334,896, respectively, associated with sales returns included in merchandise inventories.
14
In some cases, deposits are received before the Company transfers control, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported as deposits on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of May 2, 2021, and January 31, 2021, the Company recorded under customer deposit liabilities the amount of $7,843,326 and $5,992,633 respectively. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $5,992,633 and $1,653,597, respectively, related to our customer deposits.
Under
ASC 606, the Company has elected the following accounting policies and practical expedients:
The
Company recognizes shipping and handling expense as fulfillment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities
are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. Accordingly, the Company records
the expenses for shipping and handling activities at the same time the Company recognizes revenue.
The
Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing
transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively
referred to as sales taxes).
The Company does not adjust revenue for the effects of any financing components if the contract has a duration of one year or less, as the Company receives payment from the customer within one year from when it transferred control of the related goods.
The
Company offers its products through an inventory lean omni-channel platform that provides a seamless and meaningful experience to its
customers in showrooms and through the internet. The other channel predominantly represents sales through the use of pop-up-shops that
typically average ten days at a time and are staffed with associates trained to demonstrate and sell our product. The following represents
sales disaggregated by channel:

Item2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in the section
titled “Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences
include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We
operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to February 1. Each fiscal year generally is comprised of four
13-week fiscal quarters, although in the years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter represents a 14-week period.
Overview
We
are a technology driven company that designs, manufactures and sells unique, high quality furniture derived through our proprietary Designed
for Life philosophy which results in products that are built to last a lifetime and designed to evolve as our customers’ lives
do. Our current product offering is comprised of modular couches called Sactionals, premium foam beanbag chairs called Sacs, and their
associated home decor accessories. Innovation is at the center of our design philosophy with all of our core products protected by a
robust portfolio of utility patents. We market and sell our products primarily online directly at www.lovesac.com, supported by
direct-to-consumer touch-feel points in the form of our own showrooms as well as through shop-in-shops and pop-up-shops with third party
retailers. We believe that our ecommerce centric approach, coupled with our ability to deliver our large upholstered products through
express couriers, is unique to the furniture industry.
The name “Lovesac” was derived from our original innovative product, a premium foam beanbag chair, the Sac. The Sac was developed in 1995 and provided the foundation for the Company. We believe that the large size, comfortable foam filling and irreverent branding of our Sacs products have been instrumental in growing a loyal customer base and our positive, fun image. Sales of this product were $7.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to $9.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The decrease was related to less promotional activity in fiscal 2022 as compared to the first quarter of last year.
Impactof COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and, in the following weeks, the U.S.
federal, state and local governments issued lockdown orders and related safety measures impacting the operations of our showrooms and
consumer demand. Although there has been a general improvement in conditions, there continues to be significant uncertainties around
the scope and severity of the pandemic, its impact on the global economy, including supply chain, and other business disruptions that
may impact our operating results and financial condition. We continue to follow the guidance issued by federal, state and local governments
and health organizations and have taken measures to protect the safety of our associates and customers, including frequent cleaning of
our showrooms and offices, offering remote work opportunities, adopting appropriate social distancing protocols, using personal protective
equipment, in-store protective plexiglass barriers, touchless transactions and other measures.
16
While
the COVID-19 pandemic led to shifts in the way in which we operated in fiscal 2021, including temporarily closures of all of our showroom
locations, a reduction in workforce and a temporary reduction in compensation payable to our associates and directors, we continued to
serve our customers through our online channels as our products can be easily configured, shopped online and delivered quickly in a touchless
way, coupled with consumers’ demand for home related products and solutions. As our showrooms are now fully reopened, we continue
to experience growth as our net sales increased $28.5 million, or 52.5%, to $82.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, compared
to $54.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Retail sales drove an increase of $30.9 million, or 170.4%, to $49.0 million
for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 compared to $18.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 mainly due to COVID-19 related
closures of all our showroom locations in the prior year period which more than offset the decrease in our internet sales (sales made
directly to customers through our ecommerce channel) of $4.9 million, or 16.3% in the same time periods. New customers increased by 2.3%
for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 as compared to 57.7% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 due to large number of new internet
customers acquired related to the Heroes campaign and the temporary closures of all showroom locations.
Although
all of our showrooms reopened to the public in fiscal 2021, we believe that the pandemic has contributed to an acceleration in the
shift of commerce to online sales which resulted in an increase in sales on our ecommerce platform and a slight decline in showroom
sales in fiscal 2021. Due to the significant growth of our ecommerce platform, we have adapted our systems, technology and supply
chain and logistics capabilities to manage the increase in online demand. We plan to continue to develop our digital capabilities
and invest in our technological infrastructure, however, it is possible that this increased ecommerce demand may not continue in
future periods. We continue to monitor changes in the retail landscape resulting from COVID-19 and take actions necessary to support
our business growth and strategy.
ProductOverview
Our
products serve as a set of building blocks that can be rearranged, restyled and re-upholstered with any new setting, mitigating constant
changes in fashion and style. They are built to last and evolve throughout a customer’s life.
| ● | Sactionals.<br><br>Our Sactional product line currently represents a majority of our net sales. We believe our Sactionals platform is unlike competing products<br><br>in its adaptability yet is comparable aesthetically to similarly priced premium couches and sectionals. Our Sactional products include<br><br>a number of patented features relating to their geometry and modularity, coupling mechanisms and other features. Utilizing only two,<br><br>standardized pieces, “seats” and “sides,” and approximately 200 high quality, tight-fitting covers that are removable,<br><br>washable, and changeable, customers can create numerous permutations of a sectional couch with minimal effort. Customization is further<br><br>enhanced with our specialty-shaped modular offerings, such as our wedge seat and roll arm side. Our custom features and accessories can<br><br>be added easily and quickly to a Sactional to meet endless design, style, storage and utility preferences, reflecting our Designed for<br><br>Life philosophy. Sactionals are built to meet the highest durability and structural standards applicable to fixed couches. Sactionals<br><br>are comprised of standardized units and we guarantee their compatibility over time, which we believe is a major pillar of their value<br><br>proposition to the consumer. Our Sactionals represented 89.3% of our sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, or $74.0 million,<br><br>as compared to 80.6% of our sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, or $43.8 million. |
|---|---|
| ● | Sacs.<br><br>We believe that our Sacs product line is a category leader in oversized beanbags. The Sac product line offers 6 different sizes ranging<br><br>from 22 pounds to 95 pounds with capacity to seat 3+ people on the larger model Sacs. Filled with Durafoam, a blend of shredded foam,<br><br>Sacs provide serene comfort and guaranteed durability. Their removable covers are machine washable and may be easily replaced with a<br><br>wide selection of cover offerings. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Accessories.<br><br>Our accessories complement our Sacs and Sactionals by increasing their adaptability to meet evolving consumer demands and preferences.<br><br>Our current product line offers Sactional-specific drink holders, Footsac blankets, decorative pillows, fitted seat tables and ottomans<br><br>in varying styles and finishes and our unique Sactionals Power Hub, providing our customers with the flexibility to customize their furnishings<br><br>with decorative and practical add-ons to meet evolving style preferences. |

SalesChannels
We
offer our products through an omni-channel platform that provides a seamless and meaningful experience to our customers online and in-store.
Our distribution strategy allows us to reach customers through four distinct, brand-enhancing channels.
| ● | Ecommerce. Through<br><br>our ecommerce channel, we believe we are able to significantly enhance the consumer shopping experience for home furnishings, driving<br><br>deeper brand engagement and loyalty, while also realizing more favorable margins than our showroom locations. We believe our robust technological<br><br>capabilities position us well to benefit from the growing consumer preference to transact at home and via mobile devices. With<br><br>furniture especially suited to ecommerce applications, our net sales completed through this channel accounted for 30.4% of total net<br><br>sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, down from 55.3% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, as our showrooms have fully<br><br>reopened. |
|---|---|
| ● | Showrooms. We<br><br>market and sell our products through 116 showrooms at top tier malls, lifestyle centers and street locations in 37 states in the U.S.<br><br>We carefully select the best small-footprint retail locations in high-end malls and lifestyle centers for our showrooms. Compared to<br><br>traditional retailers, our showrooms require significantly less square footage because of our need to have only a few in-store sample<br><br>configurations for display and our ability to stack our inventory for immediate sale. The architecture and layout of these showrooms<br><br>is designed to communicate our brand personality and key product features. Our goal is to educate first-time customers, creating an environment<br><br>where people can touch, feel, read, and understand the technology behind our products. We are updating and remodeling many of our showrooms<br><br>to reflect our new showroom concept, which emphasizes our unique product platform, and will be the standard for future showrooms. Our<br><br>new showroom concept utilizes technology in more experiential ways to increase traffic and sales. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Othertouchpoints. We augment our showrooms with other touchpoint strategies including in store pop-up- shops and shop-in-shops. We utilize<br><br>in store pop-up-shops to increase the number of locations where customers can experience and purchase our products, a low cost alternative<br><br>to drive brand awareness, in store sales, and ecommerce sales. These in store pop-up-shops are staffed similarly to our showrooms with<br><br>associates trained to demonstrate and sell our products and promote our brand. Unlike the in store pop-up-shops which are typically 10-day<br><br>shows, and pop-up locations, shop-in-shops are designed to be in permanent locations carrying the same digital technology of our showrooms<br><br>and are also staffed with associates trained to demonstrate and sell our products. Shop-in-shops require less capital expenditure to<br><br>open a productive space to drive brand awareness and touchpoint opportunities for demonstrating and selling our products. We hosted 0<br><br>and 135 pop-up-shops at Costco locations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. We operated 2 temporary<br><br>online pop-ups on Costco.com and operated 4 shop-in-shops at Best Buy locations and online at BestBuy.com for the thirteen weeks ended<br><br>May 2, 2021. We expect to continue hosting temporary online pop-ups on Costco.com and do not currently expect any further contribution<br><br>from Costco in store pop-up-shops. Other sales which includes pop-up-shop sales and shop-in-shop sales accounted for 10.6% and 11.4%<br><br>of our total sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. |

| (2) | EBITDA<br><br>and Adjusted EBITDA are “Non-GAAP Measures” that are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required<br><br>by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating performance, as<br><br>they eliminate expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance, facilitate a comparison of our operating performance<br><br>on a consistent basis from period-to-period and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.<br><br>Additionally, EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We<br><br>use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, alongside GAAP measures such as gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), to measure<br><br>and evaluate our operating performance and we believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. | |||||
| --- | --- |
These
Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial
performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with
GAAP. They should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally,
our Non-GAAP Measures are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider
certain cash requirements such as tax payments and debt service requirements and certain other cash costs that recur in the future.
Our Non-GAAP Measures contain certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for
working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In addition, our Non-GAAP Measures exclude certain
non-recurring and other charges.
20
You
should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our Non-GAAP Measures.
Our presentation of our Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments.
Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and by using our Non-GAAP Measures as supplemental
information. Our Non-GAAP Measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different
methods of calculation.
| (3) | We<br><br>define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA”<br><br>as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating<br><br>performance. These items include management fees, equity-based compensation expense, write-offs of property and equipment, deferred rent,<br><br>financing expenses and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. |

HowWe Assess the Performance of Our Business
We
consider a variety of financial and operating measures, including the following, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify
trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
NetSales
Net
sales reflect our sale of merchandise plus shipping and handling revenue less returns and discounts. Sales made at Company operated showrooms,
including shop-in-shops and pop-up-shops, and via the web are recognized in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 606, which
is typically at the point of transference of title when the when the goods are shipped.
GrossProfit
Gross
profit is equal to our net sales less cost of merchandise sold. Gross profit as a percentage of our net sales is referred to as grossmargin. In September 2018, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative began imposing a 10 percent ad valorem duty on a subset of
products imported from China, inclusive of various furniture product categories. In September 2019, the Office of U.S. Trade Representative
imposed an additional 15 percent ad valorem duty on products imported from China.
Selling,General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses include all operating costs, other than advertising and marketing expense, not included in cost of
merchandise sold. These expenses include all payroll and payroll-related expenses; showroom expenses, including occupancy costs related
to showroom operations, such as rent and common area maintenance; occupancy and expenses related to many of our operations at our headquarters,
including utilities, equity- based compensation, financing related expense and public company expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales is usually higher in lower volume quarters and lower in higher volume quarters because a significant
portion of the costs are relatively fixed.
Our
recent revenue growth has been accompanied by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. The most significant components
of these increases are payroll and rent costs. We expect these expenses, as well as rent expense associated with the opening of new showrooms,
to increase as we grow our business. We expect to leverage total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
as sales volumes continue to grow. We expect to continue to invest in infrastructure to support the Company’s growth. These investments
will lessen the impact of expense leveraging during the period of investment with the greater impact of expense leveraging happening
after the period of investment. However, total selling, general and administrative expenses generally will leverage during the periods
of investments with the most deleverage occurring in the first three quarters of the fiscal year, and the greatest leverage occurring
in the fourth quarter.
Advertisingand Marketing Expenses
Advertising
and marketing expense include digital, social, and traditional advertising and marketing initiatives that cover all of our business channels.
Advertising and marketing expense will continue to increase as a percentage to sales as we continue to invest in advertising and marketing
which has accelerated sales growth.

Thirteenweeks ended May 2, 2021 compared to the Thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020
NetSales
Net
sales increased $28.5 million, or 52.5%, to $82.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 as compared to $54.4 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The increase in overall net sales is primarily driven by our Showroom sales, Other sales and partially
offset by a decrease in our Internet sales. Showrooms net sales increased $30.9 million, or 170.4%, to $49.0 million in the thirteen
weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to $18.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. This increase was due in large part to
a $26.7 million increase in comparable showroom sales to $41.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 as compared to $14.6 million
due to the temporary closures of all showroom locations in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. We had 116 and 91 showrooms as of May
2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively. We opened 8 additional showrooms in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 as compared to temporarily
closing 91 showrooms in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 due to COVID-19. Point of sales transactions represent orders placed through
our showrooms which does not always reflect the point at which when control transfers to the customer, which occurs upon shipment being
confirmed. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe point of sales transactions is a more accurate
way to measure showroom performance and how our showroom associates are incentivized. New customers increased by 2.3% in the thirteen
weeks ended May 2, 2021 as compared to 57.7% in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 due to large number of new internet customers acquired
related to the Heroes campaign and the temporary closures of all showroom locations in prior year period. Retail sales per selling square
foot increased $268, or 129.5% to $475 compared to $207 in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. Total number of units sold at point
of transaction increased by approximately 151.2% driven by higher comparable sales. Internet sales (sales made directly to customers
through our ecommerce channel) decreased $4.9 million, or 16.3%, to $25.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared
to $30.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The decrease in Internet sales was due to the shift of sales into the internet
channel in prior year period as a result of the temporary showroom closures. Other sales, which include pop-up-shop sales and shop-in-shop
sales increased $2.6 million, or 41.4%, to $8.8 million, as compared to $6.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and is related
to the prior year period closures of all pop-up-shop and shop-in-shop locations due to COVID-19.
23
GrossProfit
Gross
profit increased $18.8 million, or 68.9%, to $46.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 from $27.3 million in the thirteen
weeks ended May 3, 2020. Gross margin increased to 55.6% of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 from 50.2% of net sales
in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The increase in gross margin percentage of 540 basis points was driven by a 400 basis points
improvement in gross profit as a result of a reduction in promotional discounts, higher overall Sactional product category and premium
covers mix impact, and lower product costs related to vendor negotiated tariff mitigation initiatives due to higher volume. Distribution
expenses improved by 140 basis points over the prior year due to higher leverage of 490 basis points in warehousing and distribution
costs, partially offset by the increase in inbound freight and freight capitalization of 350 basis points.
Selling,General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 18.9%, to $30.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared
to $25.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to an increase
in employment costs, rent and overhead expenses partially offset by a decrease in selling related expenses. Employment costs increase
of $3.0 million was driven by an increase in new hires and variable compensation. Rent increased by $1.5 million due to our net addition
of 8 showrooms. Overhead expenses increased $0.7 million consisting of an increase of $0.9 million in infrastructure investments and
an increase in insurance expense of $0.1 million related to the growth of the company, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million
in equity-based compensation and a decrease of $0.1 million in travel expenses related to COVID-19 restrictions. The decrease of $0.3
million in selling related expenses was due to a reduction of $1.1 million in in-store pop-up-shop fees, partially offset by an increase
of $0.8 million in credit card fees.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were 37.0% of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to 47.5% of net sales
in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of 10.5% of net sales was due to
higher leverage within infrastructure investments, selling related expenses, employment costs, rent, equity-based compensation, travel,
and insurance.
Advertisingand Marketing Expenses
Advertising
and marketing expenses increased $2.5 million, or 30.3%, to $10.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to $8.2
million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The majority of the increase in advertising and marketing dollars relates to the reinstatement
of marketing spends as showroom locations are fully open in the current period versus the temporary closures in the prior year period.
The investment by quarter may vary greatly.
Advertising
and marketing expenses were 12.9% of net sales in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to 15.1% of net sales in the thirteen
weeks ended May 3, 2020. The majority of the decrease in advertising and marketing as a percent of net sales was due to an increase in
net sales driven by higher Sactional sales mix and reduction in promotional discounts for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared
to the prior year period.
Depreciationand Amortization Expenses
Depreciation
and amortization expenses increased $0.8 million or 47.6% in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, as compared to $0.6 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense principally relates to capital investments for
new and remodeled showrooms.
Interest(Expense) Income, Net
Interest
expense, net was less than $0.1 million which reflects less than $0.1 million expense related to the unused line fees and amortization
of deferred financing fees on the asset-based loan for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021. The increase in interest income, net from
prior year was the result of lower earnings related to continued operations and the net proceeds from primary share offering during the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020.
Provisionfor Income Taxes
Income
tax provision was less than 0.2% of sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 and May 3, 2020, respectively.
24
Liquidityand Capital Resources
General
Our
business relies on cash flows from operations, our revolving line of credit (see “Revolving Line of Credit” below) and securities
issuances as our primary sources of liquidity. Our primary cash needs are for advertising and marketing, inventory, payroll, showroom
rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new showrooms and updating existing showrooms, as well as infrastructure and information
technology. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other current liabilities and customer deposits. Borrowings generally increase in our third fiscal quarter as we prepare
for the holiday selling season, which is in our fourth fiscal quarter. We believe that cash expected to be generated from operations,
the availability under our revolving line of credit and our existing cash balances are sufficient to meet working capital requirements
and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

RevolvingLine of Credit
On February 6, 2018, we entered a five-year, secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”). The credit facility permits borrowings of up to $25.0 million, subject to borrowing base and availability restrictions. For additional information regarding our line of credit with Wells, see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of May 2, 2021, the Company’s borrowing availability under the line of credit with Wells was $18.1 million. As of May 2, 2021, there were borrowings outstanding of $41,673 relating to fees associated with the line of credit.
SeveranceContingency
The
Company has various employment agreements with its senior level executives. A number of these agreements have severance provisions,
ranging from 12 to 18 months of salary, in the event those associates are terminated without cause. The total amount of exposure to the
Company under these agreements was $4,493,468 at May 2, 2021 if all executives with employment agreements were terminated without cause
and the full amount of severance was payable.
OffBalance Sheet Arrangements
We
have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of May 2, 2021, except for operating leases and employment agreements entered in the
ordinary course of business.
CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding
of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially
affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject
to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions
to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans
and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers
and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2021 for a complete description of our significant accounting policies. There have
been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021.
RecentAccounting Pronouncements
Refer
to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, contained in the Condensed Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part
1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a full description of the recent accounting pronouncements and our expectation of their impact,
if any, on our results of operations and financial condition.
26
Item3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a variety of risks,
including fluctuations in interest rates that could affect our financial position and results of operations.
InterestRate Risk
Debt
Interest
rate risk exists primarily through our borrowing activities. We use U.S. dollar denominated borrowings to fund our working capital and
investment needs. It is anticipated that the fair market value of any future debt under the line of credit will continue to be immaterially
affected by fluctuations in interest rates and we do not believe that the value of such debt would be significantly impacted by current
market events. Under the line of credit, the Company may elect that revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the base
rate plus the applicable margin or the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on tier’s relating
to the quarterly average excess availability. The tiers range from 2.00% to 2.25%. We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging
activity and we have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future. A hypothetical 100 basis point change (up or down) in the one-month
LIBOR rate would not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations.
LIBOR
Transition
Borrowings
under our revolving line of credit have an interest rate tied to LIBOR, which is the subject of recent national, international, and other
regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressure may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently
than in the past. It is expected that certain banks will stop reporting information used to set LIBOR at the end of 2021 when their reporting
obligations cease. This will effectively end the usefulness of LIBOR and end its publication. If LIBOR is no longer available, or otherwise
at our option, we will pursue alternative interest rate calculations in our Credit Agreement, including the use of the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (SOFR). A number of other alternatives to LIBOR have been proposed or are being developed, but it is not clear which,
if any, will be adopted. Any of these alternative methods may result in interest payments that are higher than expected or that do not
otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such indebtedness for the interest periods if the applicable
LIBOR rate was available in its current form.
Item4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our
principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered
by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changesin Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
27
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
From
time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are
not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have
an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There
have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2021.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In
the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, 1,125 warrants with an exercise price of $16 per share were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting
in the issuance of 856 common shares, and 1,250 warrants with an exercise price of $16 per share were exercised upon cash payment of
the exercise price to the Company. We received no proceeds from the cashless exercise of the warrants. In issuing these shares, we relied
on an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 3.Defaults upon Senior Securities.
Not
Applicable.
Item 4.Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not
applicable.
