NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2025 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.

Note 2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements, except as noted below, and believes there is no accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update modifies the disclosure/presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The update requires increased transparency in tax disclosures, specifically by expanding requirements for rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its income tax disclosures.

Table of Contents

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The update requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in the update require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity (i) disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption; (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Note 3. Business Segments

The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”).

For the Company’s retail operations segment, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes because stores are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its retail operations segment would not provide meaningful additional information.

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line:

The retail operations segment gives rise to contract liabilities through the customer loyalty program associated with Dillard’s private label cards and through the issuances of gift cards. The customer loyalty program liability and a portion of the gift card liability are included in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a portion of the gift card liability is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6. Benefit Plans

The Company has an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan (“Pension Plan”) for its officers. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation during employment. Pension expense is determined using an actuarial cost method to estimate the total benefits ultimately payable to officers and allocates this cost to service periods. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually. The Company contributed $1.8 million and $5.5 million to the Pension Plan during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, respectively, and expects to make additional contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $2.5 million during the remainder of fiscal 2024.

The components of net periodic benefit costs are as follows:

Note 7. Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company maintains a credit facility (“credit agreement”) for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The credit agreement, which is secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries, provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option.

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company amended the credit agreement (the "2023 amendment") to reflect the changes necessary for the phaseout of LIBOR. Pursuant to the 2023 amendment, the Company pays a variable rate of interest on borrowings under the credit agreement and a commitment fee to the participating banks. The rate of interest on borrowings is Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as defined in the 2023 amendment, plus 1.75% if average quarterly availability is less than 50% of the total commitment, as defined in the 2023 amendment ("total commitment"), and the rate of interest on borrowings is Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as defined in the 2023 amendment, plus 1.50% if average quarterly availability is greater than or equal to 50% of the total commitment. The commitment fee for unused borrowings is 0.30% per annum if average borrowings are less than 35% of the total commitment and 0.25% if average borrowings are greater than or equal to 35% of the total commitment. As long as availability exceeds $80 million and certain events of default have not occurred and are not continuing, there are no financial covenant requirements under the credit agreement. The credit agreement, as amended by the 2023 amendment, matures on April 28, 2026.

At November 2, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of $774.7 million.

Note 8. Stock Repurchase Programs

In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its Class A Common Stock (“February 2022 Stock Plan”). In May 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its Class A Common Stock (“May 2023 Stock Plan”). The May 2023 Stock Plan permits the Company

Table of Contents

to repurchase its Class A Common Stock in the open market, pursuant to preset trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or through privately negotiated transactions. The May 2023 Stock Plan has no expiration date.

Note 9. Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state and local income taxes.

Note 10. Gain on Disposal of Assets

During the three months ended October 28, 2023, the Company recorded proceeds of $4.1 million primarily from the sale of a store property, resulting in a gain of $4.1 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company recorded proceeds of $6.3 million primarily from the sale of two store properties, resulting in a gain of $6.0 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.

Note 11. Fair Value Disclosures

The estimated fair values of financial instruments presented herein have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and subordinated debentures are based on market prices and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable approximates their carrying values at November 2, 2024 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company’s short-term investments are recorded at amortized cost, which is consistent with the Company’s held-to-maturity classification. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at November 2, 2024 was approximately $337 million. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt at November 2, 2024 was approximately $322 million. The fair value of the Company’s subordinated debentures at November 2, 2024 was approximately $206 million. The carrying value of the Company’s subordinated debentures at November 2, 2024 was $200 million.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

While retail sales declined during our third quarter compared to the prior year third quarter, the Company focused on gross margin performance. The Company also focused on expense control during the quarter following its reports of increased selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses during the first half of the year.

Compared to the prior year third quarter, total retail sales (which exclude construction sales) declined 4% while retail gross margin was 44.5% of sales compared to 45.3%. Inventory increased 3% at November 2, 2024 compared to October 28, 2023.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended November 2, 2024 declined $2.9 million to $418.9 million (29.4% of sales) from $421.8 million (28.6% of sales) for the prior year third quarter.

For the three months ended November 2, 2024, the Company reported net income of $124.6 million ($7.73 per share) compared to net income of $155.3 million ($9.49 per share) for the three months ended October 28, 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $349.4 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 compared to $447.1 million for the prior year nine-month period.

As of November 2, 2024, the Company had working capital of $1,705.6 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $980.4 million and short-term investments of $128.9 million) and $521.5 million of total debt outstanding, including $321.5 million of long-term debt and $200.0 million of subordinated debentures.

General

Net sales. Net sales includes merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (“CDI”), the Company’s general contracting construction company. Comparable store sales includes sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the most recently completed quarter and the corresponding quarter for the prior fiscal year, including our internet store. Comparable store sales excludes changes in the allowance for sales returns. Non-comparable store sales includes: sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.

Sales occur as a result of interaction with customers across multiple points of contact, creating an interdependence between in-store and online sales. Online orders are fulfilled from both fulfillment centers and retail stores. Additionally, online customers have the ability to buy online and pick up in-store. Retail in-store customers have the ability to purchase items that may be ordered and fulfilled from either a fulfillment center or another retail store location. Online customers may return orders via mail, or customers may return orders placed online to retail store locations. Customers who earn reward points under the private label credit card program may earn and redeem rewards through in-store or online purchases.

Service charges and other income. Service charges and other income includes income generated through the Company’s private label credit card portfolio alliances. These alliances include the former marketing and servicing alliance with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Alliance”), which terminated in September 2024, and the Company’s new long-term marketing and servicing alliance with Citibank, N.A (“Citibank Alliance”), which replaced the Wells Fargo Alliance upon its termination. Other income includes rental income, shipping and handling fees and gift card breakage.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise sold (net of purchase discounts, non-specific margin maintenance allowances and merchandise margin maintenance allowances), bankcard fees, freight to the distribution centers, employee and promotional discounts, shipping to customers and direct payroll for salon personnel. Cost of sales also includes CDI contract costs, which comprise all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, employee benefits and insurance program costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include buying, occupancy, selling, distribution, warehousing, store and corporate expenses (including payroll and employee benefits), insurance, employment taxes, advertising, management information systems, legal and other corporate level expenses. Buying expenses consist of payroll, employee benefits and travel for design, buying and merchandising personnel.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization on property and equipment.

Rentals. Rentals includes expenses for store leases, including contingent rent, data processing and other equipment rentals and office space leases.

Interest and debt (income) expense, net. Interest and debt (income) expense includes interest, net of interest income from demand deposits and short-term investments and capitalized interest, relating to the Company’s unsecured notes, subordinated debentures and commitment fees and borrowings, if any, under the Company’s credit agreement. Interest and debt expense also includes the amortization of financing costs and interest on finance lease obligations, if any.

Other expense. Other expense includes the interest cost and net actuarial loss components of net periodic benefit costs related to the Company’s unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan and charges related to the write off of certain deferred financing fees in connection with the amendment and extension of the Company's secured revolving credit facility, if any.

Table of Contents

Gain on disposal of assets. Gain on disposal of assets includes the net gain or loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, as well as gains from insurance proceeds in excess of the cost basis of insured assets, if any.

Seasonality

Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

While future cash flows under the Citibank Alliance are difficult to predict, the Company expects income from this new alliance to initially be less than historical earnings from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 42.6% from 43.5% during the three months ended November 2, 2024 compared to the three months ended October 28, 2023, respectively.

Gross margin from retail operations, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 44.5% from 45.3% during the three months ended November 2, 2024 compared to the three months ended October 28, 2023, respectively, primarily as a result of increased markdowns. Gross margin decreased moderately in home and furniture and ladies’ apparel, while gross margin decreased slightly in juniors’ and children’s apparel and shoes. Gross margin remained essentially flat in cosmetics and men’s apparel and accessories. Gross margin increased slightly in ladies’ accessories and lingerie.

Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 41.6% from 42.0% during the nine months ended November 2, 2024 compared to the nine months ended October 28, 2023, respectively.

Gross margin from retail operations, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 43.3% from 43.7% during the nine months ended November 2, 2024 compared to the nine months ended October 28, 2023, respectively. Gross margin decreased moderately in home and furniture, while gross margin decreased slightly in ladies’ apparel and shoes. Gross margin remained essentially flat in all other product categories.

Total inventory increased 3% at November 2, 2024 compared to October 28, 2023. A 1% change in the dollar amount of markdowns would have impacted net income by approximately $1 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, respectively.

Inflation, trade restrictions, including tariffs, and higher interest rates are a concern for management. The extent to which our business will be affected by these factors depends on our customers’ continuing ability and willingness to accept higher costs.

Income Taxes

The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.3% and 22.1% for the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.3% and 23.0% for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state and local income taxes.

The Company expects the fiscal 2024 federal and state effective income tax rate to approximate 19%. This rate includes expected federal and state income tax benefits due to a deduction related to that portion of the special dividend of $25.00 per share to be paid to the Dillard’s, Inc. Investment and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This rate may change if results of operations for fiscal 2024 differ from management’s current expectations. Changes in the Company’s assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

A summary of net cash flows for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	November 2,		October 28,
(in thousands of dollars)	2024		2023		$ Change
Operating activities	$	349,434	$	447,107	$	(97,673)
Investing activities		(60,162)		7,916		(68,078)
Financing activities		(117,167)		(273,353)		156,186
Total Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	172,105	$	181,670	$	(9,565)

Net cash flows from operations decreased $97.7 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2024 compared to the nine months ended October 28, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales.

In January 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a new agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) to provide a credit card program for Dillard’s customers under the Citibank Alliance, replacing the existing Wells Fargo Alliance. Wells Fargo owned and managed the Dillard’s private label cards under the Wells Fargo Alliance, which

Table of Contents

terminated in September 2024. The Dillard’s credit card program offered by Citi includes a new co-branded Mastercard as well as a private label credit card. The new co-branded Mastercard replaced the previous co-branded card. Additionally, Citi provides customer service functions and supports certain Dillard’s marketing and loyalty program activities related to the new program. The new program launched on August 19, 2024 for new Dillard’s credit applicants. Existing accounts transferred from Wells Fargo to Citi on September 16, 2024. The term of the new Citi agreement is 10 years with automatic extensions for successive two-year terms unless the agreement is terminated by a party in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

The Company recognized income of $37.6 million and $50.9 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively, from the former Wells Fargo Alliance and the Citibank Alliance.

Pursuant to the Citibank Alliance, we receive on-going cash compensation from Citi based upon the portfolio’s
earnings. The compensation received from the portfolio is determined monthly and has no recourse provisions. The amount the Company receives is dependent on the level of sales on Citi accounts, the level of balances carried on Citi
accounts by Citi customers, payment rates on Citi accounts, finance charge rates and other fees on Citi accounts, the level of credit losses for the Citi accounts as well as Citi’s ability to extend credit to our customers. We participate in the marketing of the private label cards, which includes the cost of customer reward programs.

While future cash flows under the new program are difficult to predict, the Company expects cash flows from the new program to initially be less than historical cash flows from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any material decrease could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

Capital expenditures were $89.1 million and $104.7 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. The capital expenditures were primarily related to equipment purchases, the continued construction of new stores and the remodeling of existing stores. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, the Company opened a new location at The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (140,000 square feet) marking its 30^th state of operation. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company opened a 100,000 square foot expansion at Gateway Mall in Lincoln, Nebraska.

During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, the Company closed its Eastwood Mall Clearance Center in Niles, Ohio (120,000 square feet). The Company has also announced the upcoming closure of its leased facility at Stones River Town Centre in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (145,000 square feet). The store is expected to close in January 2025. There were no material costs associated or expected with any of these store closures. We remain committed to closing under-performing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to such stores when they close.

During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company received cash proceeds of $6.3 million and recorded a related gain of $6.0 million, primarily from the sale of two store properties.

During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company received proceeds from insurance of $4.5 million primarily from life insurance proceeds related to two policies.

During the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the Company purchased certain treasury bills for $422.4 million and $148.1 million, respectively, that are classified as short-term investments. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $450.9 million and $250.0 million, respectively, related to maturities of these short-term investments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $980.4 million as of November 2, 2024. The Company maintains a credit facility (“credit agreement”) for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The credit agreement is secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries and provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option. See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional

information. At November 2, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the credit agreement leaving unutilized availability of $774.7 million.

During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $364.43 per share for $107.0 million (including the accrual of $2.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of November 2, 2024) under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $306.41 per share for $265.2 million (including the accrual of $2.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of October 28, 2023) under its stock repurchase plans. As of November 2, 2024, $287.0 million of authorization remained under the Company’s open stock repurchase plan. The ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined. See Note 8, Stock Repurchase Programs, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional information.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("the Act") was signed into law. Under the Act, the Company’s share repurchases after December 31, 2022 are subject to a 1% excise tax. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the Company accrued $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of excise tax related to its share repurchase programs as an additional cost of treasury shares.

On November 21, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $25.00 per share. The dividend is payable on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company on January 6, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 13, 2024. The Company expects to fund the dividend from cash flows from operations.

The Company expects to finance its operations during fiscal 2024 from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and, if necessary, utilization of the credit facility. Depending upon our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, the Company will from time to time consider other possible financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to fund working capital or for other corporate purposes.

There have been no material changes in the information set forth under caption “Commercial Commitments” in Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose entities or off-balance-sheet arrangements for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating the Company’s business. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements or relationships that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or the availability of capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicates those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2024. As of November 2, 2024, there have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates.
