These forward-looking statements generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management’s reasonable estimates of future results or trends. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, risks relating to: our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and grow our market share, including through improving brand awareness, increasing our digital presence and expanding existing and entering into new alliances and collaborations, and manage our store portfolio; loss or disruption in our operations and supply chain, including due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East; labor costs and shortages; increases in certain raw material costs and freight costs; the impact of macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, consumer confidence and high interest rates; as well as those risks and uncertainties set forth below under Item 1A, Risk Factors. Readers are encouraged to review these risks and uncertainties carefully.

We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances in which the forward-looking statement is based.
