14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value Hierarchy The Company follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value measurement disclosure requirements specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Companys own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible …

13. LEASES The Company leases all of its retail locations, a manufacturing facility, and certain office locations, distribution centers and equipment. At contract inception, leases are evaluated and classified as either operating or finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The majority of the Companys leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. For operating leases, lease expense for the minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. The Company regularly analyzes the results of all of its stores and assesses the viability of underperforming stores to determine whether events or circumstances exist that indicate the stores should be closed or whether the carrying amount of their long-lived assets may not be recoverable. After allowing for an appropriate start-up period and consideration of any unusual nonrecurring events, property and equipment at stores and the lease right-of-use assets indicated as impaired are written down to fair value as calculated using a discounted cash flow method. The fair value of the lease ri …

Note 15 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value measurement disclosure requirements specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Companys own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In determining fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Classification of the financial or non-financial asset or liability within the h …

Note 16 Income Taxes The Companys consolidated effective tax rate can vary considerably from period to period, depending on a number of factors. The Companys consolidated effective tax rates were 32.4% and 29.8% for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The higher effective tax rate was driven by discrete tax provisions related to share-based compensation of $1.2 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. As of May 2, 2026, no deferred taxes have been provided on the accumulated unremitted earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries that are not subject to United States income tax. The Company periodically evaluates its international investment opportunities and plans, as well as its international working capital needs, to determine the level of investment required and, accordingly, determines the level of international earnings that is considered indefinitely reinvested. Based upon that evaluation, earnings of the Companys international subsidiaries that are not otherwise subject to United States taxation are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, deferred taxes have not been provided. If changes occur in future investment opportunities and plans, those changes will be reflected when known and may result in providing residual United States deferred taxes on unremitted international earnings. …

Note 18 Subsequent Events U.S. Tariff Update On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) to suspend collection of the invalidated tariffs and to establish a process to refund IEEPA tariffs previously collected. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched an online portal to facilitate the submission of IEEPA tariff refund claims. All requests will be reviewed by the CBP to determine validity prior to the issuance of refunds, and the potential availability and amount of any refunds associated with the ruling remains uncertain. The Company submitted refund claims through the CBP portal for approximately $57.9 million, excluding applicable interest. There can be no guarantee that a refund will equal the full amount of IEEPA tariffs paid, and any refund may be subject to further legal and regulatory developments that could delay, reduce, or eliminate any refund. As a result of this uncertainty, as of May 2, 2026 we have not recorded a receivable related to the potential recovery of IEEPA tariffs paid. Beginning on May 11, 2026, the Company has received cash of $16.8 million for a portion of its refunds claims, with applicable interest. The Company continues to monitor developments and assess the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations. …
