Our business depends on consumer demand for our products and, consequently, is sensitive to a number of factors that influence consumer spending, including general economic conditions, inflationary pressures, consumer disposable income, [added: rising] fuel prices, recession and fears of recession, unemployment, war and fears of [removed: war,] [added: war (including the recent conflict with Iran),] outbreaks of disease, adverse weather, availability [added: and cost] of consumer credit, consumer debt levels, conditions in the housing market, elevated interest rates, sales tax rates and rate increases, consumer confidence in future economic and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security.
Adverse changes in factors affecting discretionary consumer spending or decreases in consumer spending on home products during periods of decreased home purchases, [added: such as in the current environment,] have reduced and may in the future reduce consumer demand for our products, thus reducing our sales and harming our business and operating results.
*If we are unable to identify and analyze factors affecting our [removed: business,] [added: business and] anticipate changing consumer preferences and buying trends, [removed: and manage] our [removed: inventory and marketing spend commensurate with customer demand, our] sales levels and operating results may decline.*
Alternatively, we may be required to mark down certain products to sell any excess inventory or to sell such inventory through our [removed: outlet] [added: outlets] or other liquidation channels at prices which are significantly lower than our retail prices, any of which would negatively impact our business and operating results.
[removed: In addition, we] [added: We] must manage our inventory effectively and commensurate with customer demand.
Much of our inventory is sourced from suppliers located outside of the [removed: U.S. Thus, we usually must order] [added: U.S., resulting in ordering] merchandise, and [removed: enter into contracts] [added: contracting] for the purchase and manufacturing of such merchandise, up to twelve months and generally multiple seasons in advance of the applicable selling [removed: season and frequently before trends are known.][added: season.]
[added: -] *Our business and operating results may be harmed if we are unable to [removed: timely and effectively deliver merchandise to] [added: manage] our [removed: stores] [added: inventory] and [removed: customers.*][added: timely*]
Factors such as labor disputes, union organizing activity, geopolitical instability, [added: changing tariff and trade regulations,] acts of terrorism, war, outbreaks of disease, adverse weather, natural disasters, and climate [removed: change can affect the global supply chain and disrupt our business.]
For example, instability in the Middle East is deterring commercial vessels from traveling through the Suez [removed: Canal,] [added: Canal] and [added: the Strait of Hormuz, and] as a result, vessels are now traveling around the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, resulting in longer transit times and increased costs.
Increases in transit times as a result of disruptions in ocean transit may require adjustments to our inventory stocking strategy, which could lead to an increase in on-hand inventory and a [removed: resulting] storage challenge.
[removed: Further, we] [added: We] cannot control all the various factors that might affect our e-commerce fulfillment rates and [added: the] timely and effective [removed: merchandise] delivery [added: of merchandise] to our stores and customers.
[removed: As a result of our dependence on all of these third-party providers, we are subject to risks, including] [added: Such risks include:] labor disputes, union organizing activity, fluctuations in fuel [removed: costs,] [added: costs (including recent fluctuations due to the conflict with Iran),] increases in regulatory burden, [added: changing tariff and trade regulations,] adverse weather, natural disasters, climate change, the [removed: closure of such carriers’ offices or a reduction in operational hours due to an economic slowdown or the inability to sufficiently ramp up operational hours during an economic recovery or upturn, availability of adequate trucking or railway providers, the] potential for railway and port worker strikes, possible acts of terrorism, war, outbreaks of disease or other factors affecting such carriers’ ability to provide delivery services to meet our shipping needs.
In addition, we face the risk that we cannot hire enough qualified associates to support our e-commerce operations, or that there will be a disruption in the workforce we engage from our third-party providers, especially during our [added: peak season.]
Our continued success depends in part on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment, including our reliance on social media and [removed: online advertising campaigns.]
Additionally, as we continue to expand our utilization of collaborations with [added: third-party] brands and individuals, our reputation could be negatively impacted by the actions of our collaborative partners and any related public responses.
In addition, customer sentiment could be shaped by [added: public actions taken by] our [added: executives or employees as well as our] corporate and supply chain policies and related design, sourcing and operations decisions.
- managing [added: against] increasingly competitive promotional activity;
- developing new innovative shopping experiences, like mobile [removed: applications and] [added: applications,] augmented reality [added: and AI] capabilities, that effectively engage today’s digital customers;
- [removed: smartly] [added: effectively] leveraging [removed: artificial intelligence ("AI")] [added: AI] and machine learning to enhance the customer experience and streamline processes;
[added: If any of these events result] in damage to our facilities or systems, or those of our suppliers, we may experience interruptions in our business until the damage is repaired, resulting in the potential loss of customers and revenues.
In addition, we may incur costs in repairing any damage beyond our [removed: applicable] [added: available] insurance coverage.
There has been [removed: increased] [added: continued] focus from our stakeholders, including consumers, associates and investors, on our sustainability [removed: initiatives, including our publicly stated goals.][added: initiatives.]
These [removed: statements] [added: initiatives] reflect our current plans and aspirations, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve them.
The standards for tracking and reporting on sustainability matters are [removed: relatively new and continue to evolve.][added: evolving.]
Further, if we do not make progress [removed: against] [added: on] our own goals, then our reputation, our ability to attract or retain associates and our competitiveness, including as an investment and a business partner, could be negatively impacted.
Our failure, or perceived failure, to pursue or [removed: fulfill] [added: meet] our goals or to satisfy various reporting standards within the timelines we announce, or at all, could also expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.
We are subject to [removed: changing] rules and regulations promulgated by a number of federal, state and local governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and [removed: many] new requirements have been created in response to laws enacted by U.S. federal and state legislatures, making compliance [removed: more] difficult and uncertain.
For example, compliance with [removed: California's recently adopted] [added: California’s] climate-related reporting requirements, and [added: any] similar proposals by state regulators and [removed: other] international regulatory bodies, could be costly, difficult and time consuming, especially as reporting standards are still evolving.
*and effectively deliver merchandise to our stores and customers.*
*•Our industry is highly competitive and we face increased competition based on a number of factors that could negatively impact our sales.*
*•We face disruption risks related to the outsourcing of certain aspects of our business to third parties, as well as challenges related to the insourcing of certain business functions.*

change can affect the global supply chain and disrupt our business.
Our dependence on these providers subjects us to certain risks which has caused, and could continue to cause, restrictions in shipping capacity and a related increase in costs.
Due to these factors, transportation companies, including ocean and rail freight and trucking, have struggled and may continue to struggle to operate profitably, further restricting shipping capacity and resulting in increased fulfillment expenses and delayed fulfillment.
Any such increased cost or delay in fulfillment could negatively impact the results of our business.

online advertising campaigns, and more recently the growing use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and generative AI, as well as changes to consumer behavior based on these new technologies.
*Our industry is highly competitive and we face increased competition based on a number of factors that could negatively impact our sales.*

Separately, there is increased scrutiny of companies’ sustainability initiatives.
Such perception of our sustainability initiatives, whether due to perceived over or under pursuit of such initiatives, may likewise result in criticism as well as potential litigation or other adverse impacts.
[Table of Contents](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_10)
In addition, changes to algorithms, pricing models, data access or other policies of key digital platforms on which we rely could adversely affect traffic, conversion, customer acquisition costs or overall marketing efficiency.
[Table of Contents](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_10)
In addition, our use of new and evolving AI solutions, including solutions that drive web traffic and personalize search results, may alter the effectiveness of our advertising efforts.

profitably.
Generative AI may also enable the infringement of our intellectual property rights to proliferate, which may materially increase our legal costs.
If we rely on generative AI to create key work product, it could also limit the degree to which we can assert intellectual property rights in such work product.
*We face disruption risks related to the outsourcing of certain aspects of our business to third parties, as well as challenges related to the insourcing of certain business functions.*
In some cases, we rely on a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers for such services, and transitioning to alternative providers may be difficult, costly, time-consuming or not feasible.
We are also subject to risks associated with our reliance on third-party technology providers, including cloud-based and software-as-a-service providers, for access to our systems and the accuracy and security of the their functionality.
System upgrades, migrations or integrations may increase our exposure to cybersecurity risks or service interruptions.
[Table of Contents](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_10)
These efforts may require significant management attention, investment in talent and systems, and extended transition periods, and may cause disruptions in our business or result in increased costs.
In the event we need to hire additional personnel, including associates during our peak selling season, we may experience difficulties in attracting and successfully hiring individuals with the appropriate skill sets due to the high level of competition for talent in our industry.
Further, if we fail to offer competitive wages or benefits, or to manage our workforce effectively, our ability to attract or retain appropriate talent could be negatively impacted.
Successful management of any employment-related cost is key to the growth of our business.
For example, in 2025, we acquired the intellectual property of Dormify and are in the process of launching it as a new brand.

Additionally, in the U.S. we must comply with broad state consumer privacy laws such as California’s CCPA and CPRA.

The operation of legacy and new systems in parallel may further increase complexity and operational risk.
*•Our sales may be negatively impacted by increasing competition from companies with brands or products similar to ours.*
*•We outsource certain aspects of our business to third-party suppliers and are in the process of insourcing certain business functions from third-party suppliers.*
*•If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business and operating results may be harmed.*
In addition, periods of decreased home purchases, such as in the current environment, typically lead to decreased consumer spending on home products.
Our suppliers also may not have the capacity to handle our demands or may go out of business or have other delays in production in times of economic crisis.
If we are unable to effectively manage our inventory levels and supply chain, including by predicting the appropriate levels and type of inventory to stock within each of our distribution facilities, our business and operating results may be harmed.
Further, we have experienced, and may continue to experience increased costs and restricted capacity from our third-party shipping providers and shortages of raw materials used to make our products and increased costs associated with our packaging.
In addition, fuel costs have been volatile and vessel operating companies and other transportation companies continue to struggle to operate profitably, which could lead to increased fulfillment expenses.

We may not be able to effectively protect or enforce our intellectual property rights in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions, particularly as we continue to expand our business offerings and geographic reach.
*We outsource certain aspects of our business to third-party suppliers and are in the process of insourcing certain business functions from third-party suppliers.*
In some cases, we rely on a single supplier for such services.
This may cause disruptions in our business and result in increased cost to us.
*If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business and operating results may be harmed.*
If any one of our key associates leaves, is
seriously injured or unable to work, or fails to perform and we are unable to find a qualified replacement either internally or externally, we may be unable to execute our business strategy.
Further, in the event we need to hire additional personnel, we may experience difficulties in attracting and successfully hiring such individuals due to competition for highly skilled personnel, increasing wages throughout the U.S., as well as the significantly higher cost of living expenses in our markets.
For example, in 2023 we launched our newest brand, GreenRow.
As a result, we may not be able to introduce new brands in a manner that improves our overall business and/or operating results and may therefore be forced to close the brands or new lines of business, which may damage our reputation and/or negatively impact our operating results.
systems or processes or those of our suppliers.
In addition, in November 2020, the CPRA was passed in the general election and amended the CCPA as of January 1, 2023, imposing new, and potentially broader, consumer privacy rights on businesses, including ours.
In terms of cybersecurity, pursuant to the SEC’s Rules on Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure we are required to make certain disclosures related to material cybersecurity incidents and the reasonably likely impact of such an incident on Form 8-K and are required to make certain other cybersecurity disclosures on Form 10-K.
Determining whether a cybersecurity incident is notifiable or reportable may not be straightforward and any such mandatory disclosures could be costly and lead to negative publicity, loss of customer confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, diversion of management’s attention and governmental investigations.
Any perception that our practices violate individual privacy, data protection rights or cybersecurity requirements, even if unfounded,
We are also subject to the risks associated with the ability of our suppliers to provide information technology solutions to meet our needs.
Any disruptions could negatively impact our business and operating results.
We are heavily reliant on third-party suppliers for access to our systems and the accuracy of the functionality within the systems.
For example, any upward valuation in the Chinese yuan, the euro or any other foreign currency against the U.S. dollar may result in higher costs to us for those goods.
Failure to acquire sufficient merchandise could harm our business because we would be missing products that we felt were important to our assortment, unless and until alternative supply arrangements are secured.
if any, may not be of a suitable quality and/or may be more expensive than those we currently purchase.
Any recalls or other safety issues could harm our brands’ images and negatively affect our business and operating results.
In addition, certain aspects of our franchise arrangements are not directly within our control,
Recent U.S. administrations have enacted tariffs on imports from various countries.

Our products in our portfolio of nine brands — Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Teen, West Elm, Williams Sonoma Home, Rejuvenation, Mark and Graham, and GreenRow — [added: represent distinct merchandise strategies that] are marketed through [removed: e-commerce websites, our] [added: e-commerce, direct-mail catalogs,] retail [removed: stores] [added: stores,] and [removed: direct-mail catalogs.][added: business-to-business.]
These brands [removed: are also part of] [added: collectively support] The Key Rewards, our loyalty and credit card program that offers members exclusive [removed: benefits across the Williams-Sonoma family of brands.][added: benefits.]

Fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Financial Results
From a channel perspective, the company comp [removed: decline] [added: growth] of [removed: 1.6%] [added: 3.5%] was driven by [removed: a negative 2.5%] comp [added: growth of 6.4%] in our [removed: e-commerce channel, partially offset by a positive 0.2%] [added: retail channel and] comp [added: growth of 2.2%] in our [removed: retail] [added: e-commerce] channel.
In fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] Pottery Barn, our largest brand, saw comparable brand revenue [removed: ("brand comp") decline] [added: (“brand comp”) growth] of [removed: 6.2%] [added: 0.4%] driven by [removed: reduced furniture demand and our strategy to reduce promotional activity, partially offset by relative] strength in [removed: our] [added: retail, offset by] non-furniture and seasonal categories.
The Pottery Barn Kids and Teen brands saw brand comp growth of [removed: 3.0%] [added: 4.4%] in fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025] driven by [removed: strength in] collaborations, [removed: our] [added: expanded] dorm and baby [removed: offerings] [added: offerings,] and [added: strong] seasonal [removed: decor.][added: gifting assortments.]
Finally, our emerging brands, Rejuvenation, Mark and Graham, and GreenRow, combined, delivered double-digit brand comp [removed: growth.][added: growth in fiscal 2025.]
We ended [removed: the year] [added: fiscal 2025] with a cash balance of [removed: $1.2] [added: $1.0] billion and generated positive operating cash flow of [removed: $1.4] [added: $1.3] billion.

The evolving tariff landscape during fiscal 2025 had an impact on our business.
While our tariff mitigation efforts reduced the overall effect, tariffs impacted our Consolidated Statement of Earnings in fiscal 2025, due to the flow-through of higher tariffs into cost of goods sold.
Net revenues in fiscal 2025 increased $95.3 million, or 1.2%, due to (i) company comparable brand revenue (“company comp”) growth of $258.4 million, or 3.5%, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in non-comparable brand revenue of $45.9 million due to lower franchise net revenues and the closure of retail stores, and (iii) the impact of one less week of net revenues in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 of $117.2 million.
West Elm saw brand comp growth of 2.9% in fiscal 2025 driven by new seasonal assortments, strength in retail and collaborations.
The Williams Sonoma brand saw brand comp growth of 6.9% in fiscal 2025 driven by strength in the brand's kitchen business supported by newness, collaborations, exclusive products and a strong holiday gift assortment.
Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, including continued unpredictability around geopolitics and tariffs, we delivered record diluted earnings per share.
Our performance was driven by the execution of our three key priorities for 2025: returning to growth, elevating our world-class customer service and driving earnings.
These results also demonstrate the effectiveness of our tariff mitigation efforts, our ability to quickly adjust as the tariff landscape evolved, and the strength and durability of our operating model in driving profitable market share gains.
Our profitability in fiscal 2025 reflected disciplined execution across the company, as we maintained our focus on cost control.
*Subsequent Events*
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v.
Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize a U.S. President to impose tariffs during peacetime national emergencies and that the challenge to the legality of the tariffs imposed under IEEPA was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”), thus affirming the prior decision of the CIT in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v.
United States.
As a result, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. President issued an executive order stating that the related tariffs were no longer in effect and ending the collection of these tariffs.
However, the U.S. President then issued an additional executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026.
The Supreme Court's ruling did not address whether importers who paid IEEPA tariffs are entitled to refunds, and that issue remains subject to further litigation before the CIT.
We cannot predict whether or when any refunds will be available, or whether the administration will contest refund claims.
We are currently assessing the impact of these actions on our operations and Consolidated Financial Statements, including our ability to recover certain tariffs paid.
*Accelerating Growth*
We expect growth in 2026 to be driven across our portfolio of brands.
This strategy includes a focus on Pottery Barn's brand comp, the continued momentum in Williams Sonoma, West Elm and our Pottery Barn Kids and Teen brands, contributions from our emerging brands, and expansion of business‑to‑business.
Product innovation and increased levels of newness, including new furniture collections and finishes, are expected to support growth.
Additionally, expansion in baby, dorm and West Elm Office and increased penetration of branded and exclusive assortments are key growth strategies.
We will continue to create brand heat through collaborations, social and influencer partnerships and enhanced storytelling, while improving the channel experience across both e‑commerce and retail through investments in discovery, personalization, design services, take‑it‑home‑today offerings and selective store investments.
Our goal is to deliver the perfect order, on time and damage free, every time.
We plan to continue to optimize and automate our distribution centers and logistics network, supported by expanded use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and advanced analytics, which we expect to improve inventory visibility, in‑stock levels and service times while driving efficiencies across our supply chain and customer care operations.
Our focus on operational efficiency and service improvements is expected to continue to support profitability in 2026.
We plan to emphasize full‑price selling, focus on product margin through disciplined markdown management,
[Table of Contents](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_10)
and drive sourcing efficiencies through vendor negotiations, re‑sourcing initiatives and organizational productivity improvements.
We will remain disciplined in managing selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), including employment and other variable costs, and expect continued AI‑enabled efficiencies across engineering, customer care and creative functions to drive earnings.
Growth creates leverage in our operating model, and improved service supports reinvestment in our business and delivers earnings growth.
The tariff environment has materially changed over the last year, and we expect that uncertainty to continue into fiscal 2026.
[Table of Contents](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_10)
Net revenues in fiscal 2025 increased $95.3 million, or 1.2%, due to (i) company comparable brand revenue growth of $258.4 million, or 3.5%, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in non-comparable brand revenue of $45.9 million due to lower franchise net revenues and the closure of retail stores, and (iii) the impact of one less week of net revenues in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 of $117.2 million.
From a channel perspective, the company comp growth of 3.5% was driven by comp growth of 6.4% in our retail channel and comp growth of 2.2% in our e-commerce channel.

Beginning in fiscal 2021 and continuing through fiscal 2022, global supply chain disruptions caused delays in inventory receipts and backorder delays, increased raw material costs, and higher shipping-related charges.
These disruptions improved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
However, the costs from these operational supply chain challenges impacted our Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the first half of fiscal 2023.
Net revenues in fiscal 2024, including the impact of the additional week, decreased $39.1 million, or 0.5%, with company comparable brand revenue ("company comp") decline of 1.6%.
This decrease was driven by customer hesitancy towards furniture purchases, partially offset by strength in our non-furniture and seasonal assortments.
In fiscal 2023, comparable brand revenue decline was materially consistent across both channels.
West Elm saw brand comp decline of 2.0% in fiscal 2024 driven by the impacts of the customer pull back in furniture during the first half of the year as a result of the brand's high percentage of its assortment in the furniture category, partially offset by strength from new product introductions across categories including furniture, decorative accessories and seasonal textiles.
The Williams Sonoma brand saw brand comp growth of 2.4% in fiscal 2024 resulting from strength in the brand's kitchen business driven by cookware, cutlery and electrics as well as our seasonal and decorative offerings.
We continued to improve our world-class customer service by driving supply chain improvements from lower returns and damages, reduced out-of-market and multiple shipments, reduced replacements and fewer customer accommodations.
These supply chain improvements continued to contribute meaningfully to our profitability in fiscal 2024.
Despite a challenging environment for home furnishings, we delivered a record operating margin with double-digit diluted earnings per share growth.
Our results this year demonstrate the flexibility, strength and durability of our operating model to drive market share gains and deliver profitability.
Our performance was due to the strong execution of our teams as well as our continued focus on full-price selling and cost control from our Company-wide financial discipline.
*Common Stock Split*
On July 9, 2024, we effected a 2-for-1 stock split of our common stock through a stock dividend.
All historical share and per share amounts, excluding treasury share amounts, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
The shares of common stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share.
Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to common stock.
*Returning to Growth*
First, we believe we will deliver organic, core-brand growth due to increased levels of newness, innovation and growth initiatives, such as Pottery Barn Teen's dorm offering, Pottery Barn Kids' Modern Baby and West Elm Kids.
We are able to differentiate ourselves competitively through our in-house design capabilities and vertically-integrated sourcing organization, with the ability to expand into white space opportunities within our largest brands.
These differentiators give us a unique ability to offer high-quality products at compelling price points.
Second, we recognize the housing market may not improve in 2025.
Therefore, a key component of our strategy is our robust non-furniture assortment that includes inspirational seasonal and decorative accessories, textiles and housewares.
In addition, we will continue to introduce new furniture in compelling finishes and shapes.
Third, we will continue investing in strategic outside partnerships and collaborations in our core brands.
The talent of our in-house team with the creative vision of our collaborators attracts new customers and drives sales with our current customers.
Fourth, we will continue to find opportunities in our business-to-business division, leveraging our strength in design and commercial grade product offerings.
Our multi-channel capabilities and our leading assortment of commercial grade products are competitive differentiators.
Over the last few years, we have built customer relationships in the
commercial space in several industry verticals.
In addition, our exclusive offering of design-to-delivery services is a competitive advantage as we continue to build our business-to-business project pipeline.
Lastly, our emerging brands are expected to continue to provide incremental growth.
We have the in-house competency and ability to incubate and build new brands.
All of our brands were once an emerging brand, even our largest brand, Pottery Barn.
A key component of our future growth comes from expansion in Rejuvenation, Mark and Graham, and GreenRow.
We will continue our progress in delivering world-class customer service.
Additionally, we are focused on continued optimization and automation in our distribution centers and logistics networks to improve our service times.
The supply chain improvements contributing to elevating our world-class customer service are expected to continue to contribute meaningfully to our profitability.
Additionally, we will be disciplined on selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), including employment and advertising costs.

We elected to adopt this guidance prospectively; therefore, the current-year effective tax rate reconciliation in [N](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_112)[o](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_112)[te D](#if1c9a6ce36204823aaff149937cbaa89_112) is presented in the new required format, while prior-year periods are presented using the previous guidance.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)*.
The ASU amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, *Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities*.
The ASU establishes the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants received by a business entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income.
We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

*Common Stock Split*
On July 9, 2024, we effected a 2-for-1 stock split of our common stock through a stock dividend.
All historical share and per share amounts, excluding treasury share amounts, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
The shares of common stock retain a par value of $0.01 per share.
Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to common stock.

If the carrying value of the reporting
In fiscal 2022, we performed our annual quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment for the Aperture reporting unit, a division of our Outward subsidiary, using the income approach.
We fully impaired the goodwill related to the Aperture reporting unit due to these assets not being recoverable in light of projected future cash flows, resulting in goodwill impairment charges of $8.0 million.
For all other reporting units, we concluded that the fair value exceeded their carrying values and no further impairment testing of goodwill was performed.
recognized within one year of the card issuance.
We have customer loyalty programs, which allow members to earn points for each qualifying purchase.
The increase in our gift card and other deferred revenue balance was primarily due to advance payments collected on certain product categories.
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or upon the release of the initial advertisement.
The Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance.
We adopted this guidance for the year ended February 2, 2025 and have applied it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements, which did not result in a change to our current or previously reported financial results.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*.
*(Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date*.
We have a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which provides for a $500 million unsecured revolving line of credit.
As of February 2, 2025, the aggregate amount outstanding under our letter of credit facilities was $0.6 million, which represents only a future commitment to fund inventory purchases to which we had not taken legal title.
To mitigate the administrative burden for Multinational Enterprises in complying with the OECD Global Anti-Base Erosion rules during the initial years of implementation, the OECD developed the temporary “Transitional Country-by-Country Safe Harbor” (“Safe Harbor”).
This Safe Harbor applies for fiscal years beginning on or before December 31, 2026, but not including a fiscal year that ends after June 30, 2028.
Under the Safe Harbor, the top-up tax for such jurisdiction is deemed to be zero, provided that at least one of the Safe Harbor tests is met for the jurisdiction.
Of the regions in which we operate, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal and Vietnam have implemented Pillar Two frameworks effective January 1, 2024.
Due to the potential resolution of tax issues, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next twelve months by a range of $0 to $3.4 million.

As of February [removed: 2, 2025,] [added: 1, 2026,] an evaluation was performed by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February [removed: 2, 2025.][added: 1, 2026.]
In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).* Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that, as of February [removed: 2, 2025,] [added: 1, 2026,] our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
[removed: Our] [added: An] independent registered public accounting firm audited the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Their audit report appears on pages [removed: 68] [added: 67] through [removed: 69] [added: 68] of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

*2 This number includes shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to unvested restricted stock units and unvested performance stock units (“PSUs”).
The PSUs are subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions as set forth in the applicable PSU agreement.
The actual number of PSUs that vest following the end of the applicable performance period, if any, and therefore the resulting shares of our common stock available for sale under the plan will depend on the attainment of the performance metrics.*
*Immaterial Correction of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements*
In connection with our fiscal year-end close process, we identified that we did not timely record shrink losses for certain inventories not ultimately received, which also impacted our bonus accrual, in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024.
Therefore, our previously issued interim financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 did not reflect these adjustments.
We have properly accounted for this matter in our fiscal 2024 annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.
Management evaluated the materiality of the above items based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors and concluded they were not material to the interim periods of fiscal 2024, individually or in aggregate.
As a result, we plan to prospectively correct the relevant prior period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes for these items in future filings.
The following tables reflect the effects of the correction on all affected line items of our previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings to be presented as comparative in the Forms 10-Q in fiscal 2025, a 52-week year, ending on February 1, 2026:
