•the timing of shipments requested by our wholesale customers;
•fluctuations and volatility in global financial and/or real estate markets;
3
•our ability to identify and secure suitable locations for new retail store and food and beverage openings, as well as to successfully negotiate acceptable terms for the early exit or restructuring of leases for underperforming locations;

•expected outcomes of pending or potential litigation and regulatory actions;

Forward-looking statements reflect our expectations at the time such forward-looking statements are made, based on information available at such time, and are not guarantees of performance.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Important factors relating to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC. We caution that one should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026
Note 1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business.
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported total assets, total liabilities, results of operations, comprehensive income or net cash flows from operating, financing or investing activities.
The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Years
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs and any not listed below were assessed and determined to not be applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date. These updates expand the disclosure requirements about specific expense categories, primarily through disaggregated information on income statement line items. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are evaluating how the enhanced disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 will affect our presentation, and we will include the incremental disclosures upon the effective date.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The ASU is intended to improve and modernize the accounting for software costs to better align with the evolution of software development. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are evaluating how the enhanced disclosure requirements of ASU 2025-06 will affect our presentation, and we will include the applicable disclosures upon the effective date.
Note 2. Operating Segments:
We identify our operating segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our operating segment structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable.
11
The Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was operating segments are each identified as a reportable segment. The operations of our smaller, earlier stage operating segments Southern Tide, TBBC, Duck Head and Jack Rogers are aggregated into the Emerging Brands reportable segment.
Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes the elimination of inter-segment sales, which totaled less than $1
In the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2025, we changed the measure we use to assess the profitability of our operating segments from segment operating income to segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“segment EBITDA”). Segment EBITDA also excludes certain infrequent operating charges, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments. Our CODM uses segment EBITDA to assess operating segment performance and allocate resources. As a result of this change, prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The change in segment profit measure did not affect the total consolidated profit or loss of the Company.
We believe segment EBITDA and our consolidated measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information to management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the profitability and operating performance of our business. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when applicable, to facilitate the evaluation of our consolidated results before the effects of certain expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions, financing decisions and tax strategies, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain infrequent operating charges, if any, that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing business performance, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments.
We use consolidated EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA when impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments are incurred, to forecast our performance, evaluate actual results against our forecasts and compare our results to others in the industries we serve. These measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the reconciliation below of EBITDA to net earnings, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The table below presents certain financial information (in thousands) about our reportable segments, as well as Corporate and Other.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition and Receivables:
Our revenue consists of direct to consumer sales, including our retail store, e-commerce and food and beverage operations, and wholesale sales, as well as royalty income, which is included in royalties and other operating income in our consolidated statements of operations. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our accounting policies related to revenue recognition for each type of contract with customers are described in the significant accounting policies in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
The table below quantifies net sales by distribution channel (in thousands) for each period presented.

January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, respectively. As of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, prepaid expenses and other current assets included $3 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively, relating to the estimated value of inventory for expected direct to consumer and wholesale sales returns.
Substantially all amounts recognized in receivables, net represent trade receivables related to contracts with customers. In the ordinary course of our wholesale operations, we offer discounts, allowances and cooperative advertising support to and accept returns from certain of our wholesale customers for certain products. As of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, reserve balances recorded as a reduction to receivables related to these items were $2 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively. As of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, our provision for credit losses related to receivables included in our consolidated balance sheets was $1 million, $4 million and $1 million, respectively.
Contract liabilities for gift cards purchased by consumers and merchandise credits received by customers but not yet redeemed, less any breakage income recognized to date, is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and totaled $21 million, $23 million and $21 million as of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, respectively.
Note 4. Leases:
For the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, operating lease expense was $23 million and variable lease expense was $11 million, resulting in total lease expense of $34 million. In the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025, operating lease expense was $22 million and variable lease expense was $11 million, resulting in total lease expense of $33 million. For the First Half of Fiscal 2026, operating lease expense was $45 million and variable lease expense was $25 million, resulting in total lease expense of $70 million. For the First Half of Fiscal 2025, operating lease expense was $43 million and variable lease expense was $23 million, resulting in total lease expense of $66 million.
Cash paid for lease amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025 was $54 million and $46 million, respectively.
As of August 1, 2026, the stated lease liability payments for the fiscal years specified below were as follows (in thousands):

Note 5. Shareholders’ Equity:
From time to time, we repurchase our common stock mainly through open market repurchase plans. On March 24, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our stock. This authorization superseded and replaced all previous authorizations to repurchase shares of our stock and has no automatic expiration.
During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and First Half of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased no

During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025, we repurchased 114,477 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $40.46 for $5 million in open market repurchases under the March 24, 2025 authorization. During the First Half of Fiscal 2025, we repurchased a total of 956,484 shares in open market repurchases at an average cost of $57.12 for $55 million, including 842,007 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $59.38 for $50 million under a previous December 10, 2024, Board of Directors authorization of up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our stock.
As of August 1, 2026, $95 million remained under the March 24, 2025, Board of Directors authorization.
We also repurchase shares from our employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our common stock. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and First Half of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased $1 2
Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and Equity Compensation Expense

As disclosed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, the fair value of TSR-based awards is not tied to the price of our common stock at any fixed point in time; rather, the fair value of TSR-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which models multiple TSR paths for our
18
common stock as well as the comparator group, as applicable, to evaluate and determine the estimated fair value of the award.
Note 6. Debt:
Our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”) provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $325 million, which may be used to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases, future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2028. Pursuant to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, the interest rate applicable to our borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is based on either the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 135 to 185 basis points or prime plus an applicable margin of 25 to 75 basis points.
The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average interest rate of 6 % as of August 1, 2026), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average utilization or unused availability, as applicable, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity and (4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.
We issue standby letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Outstanding letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement reduce the amount of borrowings available to us when issued and, as of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, totaled $6 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively.
As of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, we had $73 million, $116 million and $81 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding and $240 million, $203 million and $239 million, respectively, in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. The decrease in debt during the First Half of Fiscal 2026 was primarily the result of cash flow from operations exceeding (1) capital expenditures and (2) the payment of dividends.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies:
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Prior to the Supreme Court decision, we paid a total of $45 million of tariffs now eligible for refund under the IEEPA tariff refund process, including $40 million and $5 million during Fiscal 2025 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026, respectively. We recorded $30 million of additional cost of goods sold relating to these tariffs during Fiscal 2025 with substantially all of the remainder recorded as additional cost of goods sold in the First Half of Fiscal 2026.
During the First Half of Fiscal 2026, we filed claims seeking refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs in an aggregate amount of approximately $42 million under Phase I and Phase II of the refund process established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). We expect to file refund claims for the remaining amount of tariffs paid when a formal process is established for these claims.
During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we received $29 million of tariff refunds and $1 million of related interest. We applied a loss recovery model to the previously paid IEEPA tariffs. Based on the amount of refunds received, the status of the remaining filed claims and our assessment of collectability, we determined that recovery of the remaining filed tariff refund claims was probable. Accordingly, during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we recognized the aggregate amount of filed tariff refund claims of $42 million as a reduction of cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest was recorded in royalties and other operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining uncollected filed tariff refunds are recorded as tariff receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to the end of the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we received substantially all of the $13 million recorded as a tariff receivable as of August 1, 2026.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Business Overview
We are a leading branded apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our portfolio of lifestyle brands: Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC, Duck Head and Jack Rogers.
Our business strategy is to drive excellence across a portfolio of lifestyle brands that create sustained, profitable growth. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands that create an emotional connection can command greater loyalty and higher price points and create licensing opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want them. We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are the reputation, value, and image of brand names; design of differentiated, innovative or otherwise compelling product; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing; product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. Our ability to compete successfully in the apparel industry is dependent on our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and presenting appealing products for consumers. Our design-led, commercially informed lifestyle brand operations strive to provide exciting, differentiated fashion products each season as well as certain core products that consumers expect from us.
During Fiscal 2025, 82% of our consolidated net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution, which consist of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and outlets, as well as our Tommy Bahama food and beverage operations. The remaining 18% of our net sales were generated through our wholesale distribution channels, which complement our direct to consumer operations and provide access to a larger base of consumers. Our wholesale operations consist of sales of products bearing the trademarks of our lifestyle brands to various specialty stores, better department stores, Signature Stores, multi-branded e-commerce retailers and other retailers.
For additional information about our business and our operating segments, see Part I, Item 1. Business of our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Important factors relating to certain risks which could impact our business are described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
Industry Overview
We operate in a highly competitive apparel market. No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our competitors vary by operating segment and distribution channel. The apparel industry is cyclical and highly dependent on the overall level and focus of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as consumer preferences and regional, domestic, and international economic conditions evolve. In recent years, consumers have allocated a smaller portion of discretionary spending to certain product categories, including apparel, while increasing spending on services and other goods. Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more pronounced impact on the apparel industry than on other industries, due in part to the discretionary nature of apparel purchases.
This competitive and evolving environment requires brands and retailers to approach their operations, including with respect to marketing, merchandising, advertising, and fulfillment, differently than they have historically and may result in increased operating costs and ongoing investments to generate growth or maintain existing sales levels. The expanding use of digital platforms, data analytics, and artificial intelligence-enabled tools across the industry has raised consumer expectations for personalization, convenience, transparency, and speed, while intensifying competition across channels.
These competitive pressures have been further exacerbated by a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Significant uncertainty related to U.S. tariffs on imported goods, and broader uncertainty around U.S. trade
20
and tax policy, inflationary pressures, including recent significant increases in energy prices, and elevated interest rates have weighed on consumer sentiment and discretionary spending. Geopolitical tensions, including the U.S.-Iran conflict, as well as other hostilities in the Middle East, and the ongoing war in Ukraine, have added to global uncertainty and have influenced, and may continue to influence, energy markets, transportation costs, and broader supply chain dynamics. Taken together, these conditions have increased volatility and reduced visibility across the global retail and consumer environment.
In response to the uncertain macroenvironment conditions, promotional activity across the industry has increased as retailers seek to offset traffic volatility and stimulate demand, further intensifying price competition. These factors have created a complex and challenging retail environment that impacts our businesses and financial results and exacerbated certain inherent challenges within the apparel industry, and may continue to do so in the future. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could materially affect our businesses.
We believe our lifestyle brands have true competitive advantages, and we continue to invest in our brands’ direct to consumer initiatives and distribution capabilities while further leveraging technology to serve our consumers when and where they want to be served. We continue to believe that our lifestyle brands, with their strong emotional connections with consumers, are well suited to succeed and thrive in the long term while managing the various challenges facing our industry in the current environment. At the same time, we remain cautious in light of extrinsic factors and are proactively taking measures to reassess and realign our businesses and initiatives to drive long-term operating margin expansion across our businesses.
Tariffs
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Prior to the Supreme Court decision, we paid a total of $45 million of tariffs now eligible for refund under the IEEPA tariff refund process, including $40 million and $5 million during Fiscal 2025 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026, respectively. We recorded $30 million of additional cost of goods sold relating to these tariffs during Fiscal 2025 with substantially all of the remainder recorded as additional cost of goods sold in the First Half of Fiscal 2026.
During the First Half of Fiscal 2026, we filed claims seeking refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs in an aggregate amount of approximately $42 million under Phase I and Phase II of the refund process established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). We expect to file refund claims for the remaining amount of tariffs paid when a formal process is established for these claims.
During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we received $29 million of tariff refunds and $1 million of related interest. We applied a loss recovery model to the previously paid IEEPA tariffs. Based on the amount of refunds received, the status of the remaining filed claims and our assessment of collectability, we determined that recovery of the remaining filed tariff refund claims was probable. Accordingly, during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we recognized the aggregate amount of filed tariff refund claims of $42 million as a reduction of cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest was recorded in royalties and other operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining uncollected filed tariff refunds are recorded as tariff receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to the end of the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we received substantially all of the $13 million recorded as a tariff receivable as of August 1, 2026.
Effective February 24, 2026, the U.S. government imposed a temporary 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 on most imports from all countries. Although the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled the tariffs unlawful in May 2026, the judgment was stayed pending appeal, and the tariffs remained in effect until their statutory expiration on July 24, 2026. The Section 122 tariffs were then replaced by tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on imports from substantially all countries from which we source product, generally at rates of 10% or 12.5%, depending on the country of origin.
Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope, duration and impact of the Section 301 tariffs, as well as the potential for additional or modified U.S. tariffs and retaliatory measures by other countries.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We consider a variety of performance and financial measures in assessing our business, and the key performance indicators used to measure our results are summarized below.
Comparable Sales
We often disclose comparable sales in order to provide additional information regarding changes in our results of operations between periods. Our disclosures of comparable sales include net sales from our full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites. We believe that the inclusion of both full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites in the comparable sales disclosures is a more meaningful way of reporting our comparable sales results, given similar inventory planning, allocation and return policies, as well as our cross-channel marketing and other initiatives for the direct to consumer channels. For our comparable sales disclosures, we exclude (1) outlet store sales as those clearance sales are used primarily to liquidate end of season inventory, which may vary significantly depending on the level of end of season inventory on hand and generally occur at lower gross margins than our non-clearance direct to consumer sales, and (2) food and beverage sales, as we do not currently believe that the inclusion of food and beverage sales in our comparable sales disclosures is meaningful in assessing our total company operations. Comparable sales information reflects net sales, including shipping and handling revenues, if any, associated with product sales.
For purposes of our disclosures, comparable sales consists of sales through e-commerce sites and any physical full-price retail store that was owned and open as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year and which did not have during the relevant periods, and is not within the current fiscal year scheduled to have, (1) a remodel or other event which would result in a closure for an extended period of time (which we define as a period of two weeks or longer), (2) a greater than 15% change in the size of the retail space due to expansion, reduction or relocation to a new retail space or (3) a relocation to a new space that is significantly different from the prior retail space (including relocations to accommodate an adjacent Tommy Bahama food and beverage concept). For those stores which are excluded based on the preceding sentence, the stores continue to be excluded from comparable sales until the criteria for a new store is met subsequent to the remodel, relocation, or other event. A full-price retail store that is remodeled will generally continue to be included in our comparable sales metrics as a store is not typically closed for longer than a two-week period during a remodel; however, a full-price retail store that is relocated generally will not be included in our comparable sales metrics until that store has been open in the relocated space for the entirety of the prior fiscal year because the size or other characteristics of the store typically change significantly from the prior location. Any stores that were closed during the prior fiscal year or current fiscal year, or which we plan to close or vacate in the current fiscal year, as well as any pop-up or temporary store locations, are excluded from our comparable sales metrics.
Definitions and calculations of comparable sales differ among retail companies, and therefore comparable sales metrics disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales is referred to as gross margin. Cost of goods sold primarily represents the cost of merchandise sold, including the cost of duties and inbound freight from suppliers. Our gross profit is variable in nature and generally follows changes in net sales. We believe that gross profit and gross margin are useful measures because they allow management, analysts, investors and others to evaluate the profit we generate from our sales, before operating and other expenses and income.
Segment EBITDA
Segment earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure we use to assess the profitability of our operating segments. Segment EBITDA is calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold and total SG&A of the operating segment, and it excludes amounts reflected in Corporate EBITDA, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization and other infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments). Segment EBITDA as a percentage of segment net sales is referred to as segment EBITDA margin.
We believe that segment EBITDA is a useful measure because it allows management, analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of our business operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation and amortization), financing decisions (interest), tax
22
strategies (income taxes), and infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments).
Net Earnings and EBITDA
We believe that net earnings and EBITDA, along with the adjusted measure of EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), are useful measures of operating performance. Net earnings represents our profitability after the effects of all operating and other expenses and income. EBITDA helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties assess the underlying profitability of our operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation and amortization), financing decisions (interest), and tax strategies (income taxes).
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates certain infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments), if any, that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing business performance. This adjusted measure helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties evaluate our operating performance on a comparable basis from period-to-period so that we can better understand the ongoing factors and trends affecting our business operations. We use EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA, if applicable, to forecast our performance, evaluate our actual results against our forecasts and compare our results to others in the industries that we serve.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net earnings, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Key Operating Results:
The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the First Half of Fiscal 2026 compared to the First Half of Fiscal 2025:
| First Half | |||||||||||
| Fiscal 2026 | Fiscal 2025 | ||||||||||
| Net sales | $ | 785,778 | $ | 796,004 | |||||||
| Gross profit | $ | 535,012 | $ | 499,911 | |||||||
| Gross margin | 68.1 | % | 62.8 | % | |||||||
| Net earnings | $ | 63,955 | $ | 42,873 | |||||||
| EBITDA | $ | 124,757 | $ | 95,166 | |||||||
| Net earnings per diluted share | $ | 4.25 | $ | 2.83 | |||||||
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | 15,042 | 15,175 | |||||||||
Net earnings per diluted share was $4.25 in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 compared to $2.83 in the First Half of Fiscal 2025 reflecting (1) higher gross margin and (2) increased royalties and other operating income. These increases were partially offset by (1) decreased net sales and (2) increased SG&A.

We regularly evaluate our direct to consumer locations and may close, relocate, remodel or convert stores to optimize our store footprint and support the long-term performance of our brands. In light of current macroeconomic conditions, we have recently increased our scrutiny of new, extended and underperforming brick and mortar opportunities. During the First Half of Fiscal 2026, we realigned our store fleet by converting the Johnny Was full-price retail store on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina, and the Southern Tide full-price retail store in Boca Raton, Florida, into Lilly Pulitzer full-price retail stores.

| Consolidated gross margin | 73.8% | 61.4% | |||||||||
The increased gross profit was due to increased consolidated gross margin partially offset by decreased net sales. The increased gross margin was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of recognizing $42 million of tariff refund claims as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies across our portfolio that resulted in higher initial mark-ups (“IMUs”), (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales and (4) a $1 million lower LIFO accounting charge in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025. These factors were partially offset by a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events at Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands.
Tommy Bahama:
The higher gross margin for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies resulting in higher IMUs and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events, including loyalty award cards and end of season clearance events.
Lilly Pulitzer:
The higher gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies resulting in higher IMUs and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by (1) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events, including e-commerce flash sales and (2) more significant markdowns during e-commerce flash sales.
Johnny Was:
The higher gross margin for Johnny Was was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies resulting in higher IMUs, (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales and (4) a revised promotional strategy to have fewer promotional events than in previous periods.
Emerging Brands:
The higher gross margin for Emerging Brands was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold and (2) a change in sales mix with e-commerce sales representing a higher proportion of net sales. These increases were partially offset by (1) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events and (2) more significant markdowns during promotional events.
28
Corporate and Other:
The gross profit in Corporate and Other primarily reflects the impact of LIFO accounting adjustments, which decreased by $1 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025.

SG&A was $212 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to $209 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025. The 2% increase in total SG&A in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 included the following:
•$3 million increase in costs related to new brick and mortar retail and food and beverage locations;
•$1 million increase in software related costs;
•$1 million increase in variable and distribution costs primarily due to costs associated with moving operations between our Lyons, Georgia distribution centers and temporarily operating two distribution centers during the transition to the newly constructed facility;
•$1 million of store closure related charges; and
•$1 million increase in advertising related costs.
These increases were partially offset by:
•$4 million decrease in incentive compensation.

| Depreciation and amortization (as a % of net sales) | 4.4 | % | 4.1 | % | |||||||||||||||||||

Royalties and other operating income typically consists primarily of income received from third parties from the licensing of our brands. The increased royalties and other operating income in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 was primarily due to increased royalty income in Tommy Bahama reflecting higher sales by our licensing partners. Also, in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, $1 million of interest was received related to tariff refunds.

Operating income was $69 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to operating income of $25 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025. The increased operating results were primarily due to (1) higher gross margin and (2) increased royalties and other operating income. These increases were partially offset by (1) decreased net sales and (2) increased SG&A.

Our effective tax rate will vary from period to period from a typical annual effective tax rate of approximately 25% based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographic mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local taxes, tax audit findings and settlements, and the interaction of various global tax strategies.
For the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025, our effective tax rate of 27.3% and 30.1%, respectively, primarily reflects the unfavorable net discrete tax expense for shortfalls in stock-based compensation vesting during each respective quarter.

The increased gross profit was due to increased consolidated gross margin partially offset by decreased sales. The increased gross margin was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of recognizing $42 million of tariff refund claims as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies across our portfolio that resulted in higher IMUs and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by (1) approximately $10 million of increased cost of goods sold from additional tariffs implemented starting in Fiscal 2025, (2) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events at Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands and (3) a $3 million higher LIFO accounting charge in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 compared to the First Half of Fiscal 2025.
Tommy Bahama:
The higher gross margin for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies that resulted in higher IMUs and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by (1) increased cost of goods sold from additional tariffs implemented starting in Fiscal 2025 and (2) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events, including loyalty award cards, end of season clearance events and the semi-annual Friends & Family event.
Lilly Pulitzer:
The higher gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies that resulted in higher IMUs and (3) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by (1) increased cost of goods sold from additional tariffs implemented starting in Fiscal 2025, (2) a change in sales mix with e-commerce flash sales representing a higher proportion of net sales and (3) more significant markdowns during e-commerce flash sales.
36
Johnny Was:
The higher gross margin for Johnny Was was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, (2) a revised promotional strategy to have fewer promotional events than in previous periods, (3) updated assortment, sourcing and pricing strategies that resulted in higher IMUs and (4) a change in sales mix with off-price wholesale sales representing a lower proportion of net sales.
Emerging Brands:
The higher gross margin for Emerging Brands was primarily due to (1) the favorable impact of tariff refund claims recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold and (2) a change in sales mix with e-commerce sales representing a higher proportion of net sales. These factors were partially offset by (1) increased cost of goods sold from additional tariffs implemented starting in Fiscal 2025, (2) a change in sales mix with a higher proportion of net sales occurring during promotional events and (3) more significant markdowns during promotional events.
Corporate and Other:
The gross profit in Corporate and Other primarily reflects the impact of LIFO accounting adjustments that resulted in a $3 million higher charge in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 than in the First Half of Fiscal 2025.

SG&A was $423 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 compared to $415 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2025. The 2% increase in total SG&A in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 included the following:
•$5 million increase in costs related to new brick and mortar retail and food and beverage locations;
•$3 million increase in software related costs;
•$3 million increase in variable and distribution costs primarily due to increased variable costs resulting from distribution related expenses associated with moving operations between our Lyons, Georgia distribution centers and temporarily operating two distribution centers during the transition to the newly constructed facility; and
•$2 million of store closure related charges.

For the First Half of Fiscal 2026, our effective tax rate of 26.8% primarily reflected the unfavorable net discrete tax expense for shortfalls in stock-based compensation vesting during the First Half of Fiscal 2026.
For the First Half of Fiscal 2025, our effective tax rate of 26.5% primarily reflected the unfavorable net discrete tax expense for shortfalls in stock-based compensation vesting during the First Half of Fiscal 2025. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by the benefit derived from a reduction in income tax expense as a result of the receipt of interest from a U.S. federal income tax receivable.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The following table sets forth reconciliations of net earnings to EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated as net sales less cost of goods sold and total SG&A, and it excludes income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less other infrequent operating charges (impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments). We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and equity method investments are incurred, neither of which are GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of our core operations when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures. We believe that EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance because it helps us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties assess the underlying profitability of our operations before the effects of certain net expenses that directly arise from our capital investment decisions (depreciation, amortization), financing decisions (interest) and tax strategies (income taxes). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA help us, analysts, investors, and other interested parties evaluate our operating performance on a comparable basis from period-to-period so that we can better understand the ongoing factors and trends affecting our business operations. We also use EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA when applicable, to forecast our performance, evaluate our actual results against our forecasts and compare our results to others in the industries that we serve. We do not, nor do we suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information. The table below showing consolidated totals reconciles GAAP net earnings to EBITDA:

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is through our design, sourcing, marketing and distribution of branded apparel products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC, Duck Head and Jack Rogers lifestyle brands. We primarily distribute our products to our customers via direct to consumer channels of distribution, but we also distribute our products via wholesale channels of distribution.
Our primary uses of cash flow include the purchase of our branded apparel products from third party suppliers located outside of the United States, as well as operating expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, operating lease commitments and other occupancy-related costs, marketing and advertising costs, information technology costs, variable expenses, distribution costs, other general and administrative expenses and the periodic payment of interest. Additionally, we use our cash to fund capital expenditures and other investing activities, dividends, share repurchases and repayment of indebtedness, if any. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain certain levels of inventory, extend credit to our wholesale customers and pay our operating expenses. Thus, we require a certain amount of ongoing working capital to operate our business. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest working capital requirements to support our larger spring, summer and holiday direct to consumer seasons. Our capital needs depend on many factors including the results of our operations and cash flows, anticipated growth rates, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products.
Cash Flow Activity

Changes in cash flows in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025 related to operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are discussed below.
Operating Activities:
In the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025, operating activities provided $97 million and $80 million of cash, respectively. The cash flow from operating activities for each period primarily consisted of net earnings for the relevant period adjusted, as applicable, for non-cash activities including impairment of property and equipment, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, equity-based compensation and other non-cash items as well as the net impact of changes in deferred income taxes and operating assets and liabilities.
In the First Half of Fiscal 2026, the net change in operating assets and liabilities from the end of Fiscal 2025 decreased cash provided by operating activities, primarily relating to:
42
•a decrease in current liabilities, including accounts payable, lease liabilities and accrued compensation due primarily to the timing of payments;
•an increase in both prepaid expenses and other current assets and other balance sheet changes due primarily to increases in prepaid software costs and software as a service (“SaaS”) configuration costs; and
•an increase in tariff receivables due to the timing of cash receipts related to previously paid tariffs. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables due to lower wholesale sales, the seasonality of our business resulting in a higher proportion of wholesale sales occurring early in our fiscal year and the timing of sales and cash receipts.
These decreases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by:
•a decrease in inventories, due to efforts to reduce inventory balances in response to weaker consumer demand and the seasonality of our business, with inventory balances decreasing early in the fiscal year due to a higher proportion of sales typically occurring early in our fiscal year; and
•a decrease in income tax receivables driven by the timing of payments.
In the First Half of Fiscal 2025, the net change in operating assets and liabilities from the end of Fiscal 2024 decreased cash provided by operating activities primarily due to:
•an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other balance sheet changes due primarily to increases in prepaid software costs, SaaS configuration costs and prepaid income taxes.
These decreases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by:
•a decrease in income tax receivables due to the timing of cash receipts;
•a decrease in receivables due to the seasonality of our business resulting in a higher proportion of wholesale sales occurring early in our fiscal year and the timing of sales and cash receipts;
•a decrease in inventories due to the seasonality of our business, with inventory balances decreasing early in the fiscal year due to a higher proportion of sales typically occurring early in our fiscal years; and
•an increase in current liabilities due to increased accounts payable driven by the timing of payments.
Investing Activities:
In the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025, investing activities used $31 million and $55 million of cash, respectively. On an ongoing basis, our cash flow used in investing activities primarily consists of our capital expenditures, which totaled $32 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and $55 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures decreased in the First Half of Fiscal 2026 compared to the First Half of Fiscal 2025 primarily due to lower expenditures related to new brick and mortar retail and food and beverage locations and the Lyons, Georgia distribution center project.
Financing Activities:
In the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025, financing activities used $65 million and $28 million of cash, respectively.
In the First Half of Fiscal 2026, net cash repayments of debt were $43 million as our long-term debt decreased due to cash flow from operations exceeding capital expenditures of $32 million and dividends of $22 million.
In the First Half of Fiscal 2025, net cash proceeds from debt were $50 million as our long-term debt increased due to share repurchases of $55 million, capital expenditures of $55 million and dividends of $21 million collectively exceeding cash flow from operations.
43
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a long history of generating sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our cash requirements for our ongoing capital expenditure needs as well as payment of dividends and repayment of our debt. Thus, we believe our anticipated future cash flows from operating activities will provide (1) sufficient cash over both the short and long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, (2) funds to continue to invest in our businesses, including direct to consumer initiatives and information technology projects, (3) additional cash flow to repay debt that may be outstanding and (4) sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
To the extent cash flow needs, for acquisitions or otherwise, in the future exceed cash flow provided by our operations, we will have access, subject to its terms, to our $325 million U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any, and any other investing or financing activities. The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2028.
We issue standby letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Outstanding letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement reduce the amount of borrowings available to us when issued and, as of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, totaled $6 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively.
As of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, we had $73 million, $116 million and $81 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding and $240 million, $203 million and $239 million, respectively, in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.
Our cash, short-term investments and debt levels in future periods may not be comparable to historical amounts as we continue to assess, and possibly make changes to, our capital structure, including borrowings from additional credit facilities, sales of debt or equity securities or the repurchase of shares of our stock in the future. Changes in our capital structure, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Compliance with Covenants
The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance requirements and conduct of business. Also, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (1) incur debt, (2) guaranty certain obligations, (3) incur liens, (4) pay dividends to shareholders, (5) repurchase shares of our common stock, (6) make investments, (7) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (8) acquire assets or businesses, (9) merge or consolidate with other companies or (10) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.
Additionally, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if excess availability under the agreement for three consecutive business days is less than the greater of (1) $23.5 million or (2) 10% of availability. In such case, our fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement must not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding 12 fiscal months for which financial statements have been delivered. This financial covenant continues to apply until we have maintained excess availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement of more than the greater of (1) $23.5 million or (2) 10% of availability for 30 consecutive days.
We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we amended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. During the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and as of August 1, 2026, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of August 1, 2026, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.
Operating Lease Commitments:
Refer to Note 4 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about our operating lease commitments as of August 1, 2026.
44
Dividends:
On September 1, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.70 per share payable on October 30, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 16, 2026. Although we have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960, we may discontinue or modify dividend payments at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including payment of outstanding debt, funding of acquisitions, funding of capital expenditures or repurchases of outstanding shares, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our credit facility, other debt instruments or applicable law limit our ability to pay dividends. We may borrow to fund dividends or repurchase shares in the short term subject to the terms and conditions of our credit facility, other debt instruments and applicable law. All cash flow from operations will not be paid out as dividends.
Share Repurchases:
On March 24, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our stock. This authorization superseded and replaced all previous authorizations to repurchase shares of our stock and has no automatic expiration. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and First Half of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased no shares of our common stock pursuant to the open market repurchase plan authorization. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025, we repurchased a total of 114,477 shares in open market repurchases at an average price of $40.46 for $5 million under the March 24, 2025 authorization. During the First Half of Fiscal 2025 we repurchased a total of 956,484 shares at an average cost of $57.12 for $55 million, including 842,007 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $59.38 for $50 million under a previous December 10, 2024, Board of Directors authorization of up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our stock.
As of August 1, 2026, $95 million remained under the March 24, 2025, Board of Directors' authorization.
Capital Expenditures:
Capital expenditures of $32 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2026 decreased from $55 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2025 due to decreased capital expenditures related to (1) the opening of food and beverage and retail store locations and (2) the multi-year project to build a new distribution center in Lyons, Georgia.
Capital expenditures do not include SaaS implementation expenditures that were $9 million and $16 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2026 and the First Half of Fiscal 2025, respectively. SaaS implementation costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026, and August 2, 2025, totaled $36 million, $33 million and $35 million and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in current and noncurrent SaaS implementation assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other balance sheet changes, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Other Liquidity Items:
Our contractual obligations as of August 1, 2026, except for the decreased debt outstanding, as discussed above, have not changed materially from the contractual obligations outstanding at January 31, 2026, as disclosed in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. We have not entered into agreements which meet the SEC’s definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments or guarantees with respect to any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in a consistent manner. The preparation of these financial statements requires the selection and application of accounting policies. Further, the application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
45
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We believe that we have appropriately applied our critical accounting policies. However, in the event that inappropriate assumptions or methods were used relating to the critical accounting policies, our consolidated statements of operations could be materially misstated.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, there have not been any significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.
SEASONAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS
Each of our operating segments is impacted by seasonality as the demand by specific product or style, as well as by distribution channel, may vary significantly depending on the time of year. As a result, our quarterly operating results and working capital requirements fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Typically, the demand for products for our larger brands is higher in the spring, summer and holiday seasons and lower in the fall season (the third quarter of our fiscal year). Thus, our third quarter historically has had the lowest net sales and net earnings compared to other quarters. Further, the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items, economic conditions, our e-commerce flash clearance sales, wholesale product shipments, weather, acquisitions or other factors affecting our operations may vary from one year to the next. Therefore, due to the potential impact of these items, we do not believe that net sales or operating income in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 is indicative of the expected proportion of amounts by quarter for future periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain interest rate, foreign currency, commodity and inflation risks as discussed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in our exposure to these risks during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 other than our decreased exposure to interest rates resulting from our decreased borrowings relative to January 31, 2026.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are a party to litigation and regulatory actions arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions may relate to trademark and other intellectual property, employee relations matters, consumer marketing, real estate, licensing arrangements, importing or exporting regulations, product safety requirements, taxation or other topics. We are not currently a party to any litigation or regulatory action or aware of any proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, our assessment of any litigation or other legal claims could potentially
46
change in light of the discovery of additional factors not presently known or determinations by judges, juries, or others which are not consistent with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to numerous risks. Investors should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing business environment and additional risks and uncertainties that we currently consider immaterial or are not presently known to us may also adversely affect our business. The risks described in our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a)During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we did not make any unregistered sales of equity securities.
(c)We have certain stock incentive plans as described in Note 9 of our Fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, all of which are publicly announced plans. Under the plans, we can repurchase shares from employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our stock. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026, we repurchased $1 million of shares from our employees related to the May 2026 vesting of service-based restricted share awards.
