Historically, consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline durinsely change existing recessionary periods when disposable income is lower or during other periods of economic instability or uncertaintystrictions.

The imposition of tariffs has resulted, which have in increased market volatilityour costs and exacerbated inflationary pressures and recessionary fears, and may negativecould significantly impact gross domestic product growth in the United States and other countries, all of which could result inour future operating margins.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations

Trade matters may disrupt our suppsourcing countries are currently chain.

Our operations are ssubject to complex trade and customs laws, regulations, and tax requirements. Thesignificantly higher countries in which our products are manufactured or imported, or may be manufactured or imported in the future, may from time to time impose duties, ty-specific reciprocal tariffs, or other restrictions on our imports or adversely change existiincluding restrictions.

The United States has receVietnam (currently enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed or proposed imposing substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. Unless otherwise exempted or subject to a different rate, all i20 percent) and Indonesia (currently 19 percent). Imports into the United States afrom China are currently subject to a baseline 1n additional 20 percent rspeciprocal tariff rate. The United States has also imposed significantly higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates on certainwhile trade negotiations with China countries with which thntinue. The United States has the largest trade deficits, including Vietnam (46also imposed a 40 percent), Indonesia (32 percent), and many of our other sourcing countries. The higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates are currently paus tariff on goods deemed until July 9, 2025 (or in the case of China, until August 12, 2025), while the United States negotiates with these countries. Imports to the United States from China are also currently subject to an additionto have been "transshipped" to avoid applicable reciprocal 20 percent ttariff rate.

s.

In fiscal 2024, approximately 27 percent and approximately 19 percent of our merchandise, by dollar value, was purchased from factories in Vietnam and Indonesia, respectively. In fiscal 2024, less than 10 percent of our merchandise, by dollar value, was purchased from factories in China. 

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and many other countries with respect to tariffs and trade policies. The situation regarding U.S. tariffs and trade policies has been fluid and may continue to change. This risk For example, it is possible that the United States may take additional trade actions with respect to goods deemed to have been "transshipped" or raw materials purchased from other countries, including China, by our suppliers. The risk of future changes may be particularly acute should trade tensions between the United States and other countries continue to worsen, which could result in, among other things, increased tariff rates and other trade restrictions, increased product costs, disruptions in the availability of goods, or a breakdown of international supply chains.

Through enterprise risk management, we continue to evaluate the impact of current and potential tariffs on our supply chain, costs, sales, and profitability, as well as our strategies to mitigate negative impacts. Given the current uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the United States and reciprocal trade actions by other countries, the impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations is unknown but could be material, especially if the higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates on our sourcing countries are maintained or if there is an escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions. We can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful in whole or in part. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales, or profitability are negatively impacted by these tariffs or other trade actions, or if there is an escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our sourcing operations could also be adversely affected by geopolitical and financial instability in our sourcing countries, as well as U.S. or foreign labor strikes, work stoppages, boycotts, or port congestion, resulting in the disruption of trade from our sourcing countries, significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, restrictions on the transfer of funds, or other trade disruptions. Disruptions to our sourcing operations in our sourcing countries could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There have been no other material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025., and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2025.
