(1) Nature of Business

Description of Business

Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate retail sporting goods stores. As of February 3, 2024, the Company operated 146 stores in 32 states.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of itsfour wholly owned subsidiaries, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Inc. (“Sportsman’s Warehouse”), Pacific Flyway Wholesale, LLC (“Pacific Flyway”), Sportsman’s Warehouse Southwest, Inc., and Minnesota Merchandising Corporation. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company operates using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal year 2023 ended February 3, 2024 and contained 53 weeks of operations. Fiscal year 2022 ended January 28, 2023 and contained 52 weeks of operations. Fiscal year 2021 ended January 29, 2022 and contained 52 weeks of operations.

The Company’s business is generally seasonal, with a moderately higher portion of total sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer whose Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated and individual store and cost center basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage and offer essentially the same general product mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar chainwide, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. The Company distributes its product mix chainwide from a single distribution center. Furthermore, the Company also operates an e-commerce platform at www.sportsmans.com. Given that the stores and e-commerce platform have the same economic characteristics, the Company's stores and website are aggregated intoone operating and reportable segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand in stores and operating accounts as cash. Checks issued pending bank clearance that result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes are classified as accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash equivalents consist of short-term money market securities with maturities less than three months from the time of investment.

In accordance with the terms of a financing agreement (Note 7), the Company maintains depository accounts with two banks in a lock-box or similar arrangement. Deposits into these accounts are used to reduce the outstanding balance on the line of credit as soon as the respective bank allows the funds to be transferred to the financing company. At February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, the combined balance in these accounts was $9,230 and $9,389, respectively. Accordingly, for fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022 these amounts have been classified as a reduction in the line of credit as if the transfers had occurred on February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

The Company offers credit terms on the sale of products to certain government and corporate retail customers and requires no collateral from these customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for credit losses based upon historical experience and a specific review of accounts receivable at the end of each period. Actual bad debts may differ from these estimates and the difference could be significant. At February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, the Company hadno allowance for credit losses.

Merchandise Inventories

The Company measures its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company estimates a provision for inventory shrinkage based on its historical inventory accuracy rates as determined by periodic cycle counts. The Company also adjusts inventory for obsolete, slow moving, or damaged inventory based on inventory activity thresholds and by specific identification of certain slow moving or obsolete inventory. The inventory write downs for shrinkage, damage, or obsolescence totaled $8,827 and $9,436 at February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements primarily include the cost of improvements funded by landlord incentives or allowances. Maintenance, repairs, minor renewals, and betterments are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the respective accounts and the related gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the improvements or the term of the lease. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment, are depreciated over useful lives ranging from three toten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining useful lives in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell. There wereno impairment charges relating to long-lived assets that were recorded during the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022.

Goodwill

At least annually, during the fourth quarter, or when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, the Company performs its impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment permits an entity to initially perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the impairment test for the reporting unit.

If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment analysis is performed, which incorporates a fair-value based approach. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary. The Company considers factors such as the economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of its stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No impairment charge to goodwill was recorded during the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022.

Prepaid Expenses and Other

Prepaid expenses and other primarily consists of prepaid expenses, vendor rebates receivable, vendor advertising receivables, right of return assets, and miscellaneous deposits.

Leases

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for the Company’s retail stores, distribution center, and corporate office. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease liabilities are initially recorded at the present value of the lease payments by discounting the lease payments by the Company's incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) and then recording accretion over the lease term using the effective interest method. Operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognized lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of the ROU asset that equals the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Operating lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense, based on the use of the leased asset, on the consolidated statement of operations. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are not material; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rental rate, the Company uses an IBR to determine the present value of future rental payments. The IBR is determined by using the Company’s credit rating to develop a yield curve that approximates the Company’s market risk profile. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments made by the tenant and is reduced by lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. The operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 5 for further discussion on leases.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition accounting policy

The Company operates solely as an outdoor retailer, which includes both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the United States and online. Generally, all revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Accordingly, the Company implicitly enters into a contract with customers to deliver merchandise inventory at the point of sale. Collectability is reasonably assured since the Company only extends immaterial credit for purchases to certain municipalities.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is for single performance obligations for the following distinct items:

•

Retail store sales

•

E-commerce sales

•

Gift cards and loyalty rewards program

For performance obligations related to retail store and e-commerce sales contracts, the Company typically transfers control, for retail stores, upon consummation of the sale when the product is paid for and taken by the customer and, for e-commerce sales, when the products are tendered for delivery to the common carrier.

The transaction price for each contract is the stated price on the product, reduced by any stated discounts at that point in time. The Company does not engage in sales of products that attach a future material right which could result in a separate performance obligation for the purchase of goods in the future at a material discount. The implicit point-of-sale contract with the customer, as reflected in the transaction receipt, states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. Payment for the Company’s contracts is due in full upon delivery. The customer agrees to a stated price implicit in the contract that does not vary over the contract.

The transaction price relative to sales subject to a right of return reflects the amount of estimated consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. This amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price, and measurement of net sales, is included in net sales only to the extent that it is probable that there will be no significant reversal in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. The allowance for sales returns is estimated based upon historical experience and a provision for estimated returns is recorded as a reduction in sales in the relevant period. The estimated merchandise inventory cost related to the sales returns is recorded in prepaid expenses and other. The estimated refund liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net sales and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Contract liabilities are recognized primarily for gift card sales and the Company’s loyalty reward program. Cash received from the sale of gift cards is recorded as a contract liability in accrued expenses, and the Company recognizes revenue upon the customer’s redemption of the gift card. Gift card breakage is recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of customer redemptions by applying a historical breakage rate of 4.0% whenno escheat liability to relevant jurisdictions exists. Based upon historical experience, gift cards are predominantly redeemed in the firsttwo years following their issuance date. The Company does not sell or provide gift cards that carry expiration dates. ASC 606 requires the Company to allocate the transaction price between the goods and the loyalty reward points based on the relative standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue for the breakage of loyalty reward points as revenue in proportion to the pattern of customer redemption of the points by applying an estimated breakage rate of 20% using historical rates and future expectations.

As it relates to e-commerce sales, the Company accounts for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for only one performance obligation, the sale of the product, at the shipping point (when the customer gains control). Revenue associated with shipping and handling is not material. The costs associated with fulfillment are recorded in costs of goods sold.

The Company offers promotional financing and credit cards issued by a third-party bank that manages and directly extends credit to the Company’s customers. The Company provides a license to its brand and marketing services, and the Company facilitates credit applications in its stores and online. The banks are the sole owners of the accounts receivable generated under the program and, accordingly, the Company does not hold any customer receivables related to these programs and acts as an agent in the financing transactions with customers. The Company is eligible to receive a profit share from certain of its banking partners based on the annual performance of their corresponding portfolio, and the Company receives monthly payments based on forecasts of full-year performance. This is a form of variable consideration. The Company records such profit share as revenue over time using the most likely amount method, which reflects the amount earned each month when it is determined that the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable, which is typically monthly. Profit-share payments occur monthly, shortly after the end of each program month.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Sales returns

The Company allows customers to return items purchased within 30 days provided the merchandise is in resaleable condition with original packaging and the original sales/gift receipt is presented. The Company estimates a reserve for sales returns and records the respective reserve amounts, including a right to return asset when a product is expected to be returned and resold. Historical experience of actual returns and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales returns.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about right of return assets, contract liabilities, and sales return liabilities with customers as of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023:

For the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, the Company recognized $1,655, $1,573, and $1,606 in gift card breakage, respectively. For the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, the Company recognized $3,125, $3,126, and $5,769, in loyalty reward breakage, respectively. The impact of these adjustments on the statement of cash flow for the year ended February 3, 2024 were recorded in cash provided by operating activities. For the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022 the Company recognized $19,647, $20,656, and $17,167 of revenue related to the beginning contract liability from the previous year.

The current balance of the right of return assets is the expected amount of inventory to be returned that is expected to be resold. The current balance of the contract liabilities primarily relates to the gift card and loyalty reward program liabilities. The Company expects the revenue associated with these liabilities to be recognized in proportion to the pattern of customer redemptions over the nexttwo years. The current balance of sales return liabilities is the expected amount of sales returns from sales that have occurred.

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

In the following table, revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by department. The percentage of net sales related to the Company’s departments during the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, was approximately:

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold primarily consists of merchandise acquisition costs, including freight-in costs, shipping costs, terms discounts received from the vendor and vendor allowances and rebates associated directly with merchandise. Vendor allowances include allowances and rebates received from vendors. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on purchase volumes. These funds are determined for each fiscal year, and the majority is based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Historical program results and current purchase volumes are reviewed when establishing the estimate for earned allowances.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as a component of net sales. All costs incurred related to the shipping and handling of products are recorded in cost of sales.

Vendor Allowances

Vendor allowances include price allowances, volume rebates, store opening costs reimbursements, marketing participation and advertising reimbursements received from vendors under the terms of specific arrangements with certain vendors. Vendor allowances related to merchandise are recognized as a reduction of the costs of merchandise as sold. Vendor reimbursements of costs are recorded as a reduction to expense in the period the related cost is incurred based on actual costs incurred. Any cost reimbursements exceeding expenses incurred are recognized as a reduction of the cost of merchandise sold. Volume allowances may be estimated based on historical purchases and estimates of projected purchases.

Health Insurance

The Company maintains for its employees a partially self-funded health insurance plan. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance through an insurance company with a $150 per person deductible and aggregate claims limit above a predetermined threshold. The Company intends to maintain this plan indefinitely. However, the plan may be terminated, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time for any reason specified by the Company.

The Company has established reserve amounts based upon claims history and estimates of claims that have been incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) for this plan. As of February 3, 2024, and January 28, 2023, the Company estimated the IBNR for this plan to be $1,357 and $1,603, respectively. Actual claims may differ from the estimate and such difference could be significant. These reserves are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Workers Compensation Insurance

The Company maintains for its employees a high-deductible workers compensation plan. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance through an insurance company with a $150 per claim deductible and aggregate claims limit above a predetermined threshold. The Company intends to maintain this plan indefinitely. However, the plan may be terminated, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time for any reason specified by the Company.

The Company has established reserve amounts based upon claims history and estimates of IBNR for this plan. As of February 3, 2024, and January 28, 2023, the Company estimated the IBNR for this plan to be $1,450 and $1,297, respectively, related to the workers compensation plan. Actual claims may differ from the estimate and such difference could be significant. These reserves are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Advertising

Costs for newspaper, television, radio, and other advertising are expensed in the period in which the advertising occurs. The Company participates in various advertising and marketing cooperative programs with its vendors, who, under these programs, reimburse the Company for certain costs incurred. Payments received under these cooperative programs are recorded as a decrease to expense in the period that the advertising occurred. For the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, net advertising expenses totaled $20,883, $23,816, and $20,537, respectively. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense is estimated based on grant date fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or offering period. Costs associated with awards are included in compensation expense as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes a deferred income tax liability or deferred income tax asset for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement basis of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and potential penalties are accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of February 3, 2024, and January 28, 2023, the carrying amounts of financial instruments except for long-term debt approximate fair value because of the general short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term variable rate debt approximate fair value as the terms are consistent with market terms for similar debt instruments.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards.

Comprehensive Income

The Company hasno components of income that would require classification as other comprehensive income for the fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022.

Share Retirement

The Company periodically repurchases and retires stock through a board authorized repurchase program. When shares are retired as part of this program the repurchased shares are returned to a status of authorized but unissued. The Company’s policy to account for the retired shares is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to Additional Paid in Capital ("APIC") and Retained Earnings. The portion allocated to APIC is determined by dividing the number of retired shares by the number of shares issued as of the retirement date. This ratio is applied to the balance of APIC as of the retirement date. Any remaining amount of the excess of the repurchase price over the par value not allocated to APIC reduces Retained Earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments in the ASU enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The ASU applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the future impact of the issuance of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash increase of $58,000, to ROU assets and operating lease liabilities resulting from lease remeasurements from the exercise of lease extension options, acquired leases, and new leases added.

The Company has certain retail locations at which the leases provide for variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance and rental payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these leases in the period incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In accordance with ASC 842, total lease expense was comprised of the following:

(6) Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of the following at February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023:

(7) Revolving Line of Credit

On May 27, 2022, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Inc. (“SWI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, as lead borrower, Holdings and other subsidiaries of the Company, each as borrowers or guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), with a consortium of banks led by Wells Fargo, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement governs the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Line of Credit”). The Revolving Line of Credit provides borrowing capacity of up to $350,000, subject to a borrowing base calculation.

In conjunction with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $508 of fees paid to various parties which were capitalized. Fees associated with the Revolving Line of Credit were recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets.

As of February 3, 2024, and January 28, 2023, the Company had $135,272 and $96,892, respectively, in outstanding revolving loans under the Revolving Line of Credit. Amounts outstanding are offset on the consolidated balance sheets by amounts in depository accounts under lock-box type arrangements, which were $9,230 and $9,389 as of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, respectively. As of February 3, 2024, the Company had $88.3 million available for borrowing, calculated based upon certain borrowing base restrictions, and stand-by commercial letters of credit of $2,012 under the terms of the Revolving Line of Credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Line of Credit bear interest based on either the base rate or Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the Company’s option, in each case plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the greatest of (1) the floor rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement as a rate of interest equal to 0.0%) (2) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (3) the federal funds rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% or (4) the one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, which varies based on the average daily availability, ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per year for base rate loans and from 1.35% to 1.60% per year for Term SOFR loans. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit, which will range from 0.20% to 0.225% per annum, depending on the average daily availability under the Revolving Line of Credit. The weighted average interest rate on the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023 was 7.01% and 5.86%, respectively.

The Company may be required to make mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Line of Credit in the event of a disposition of certain property or assets, in the event of receipt of certain insurance or condemnation proceeds, upon the issuance of certain debt or equity securities, upon the incurrence of certain indebtedness for borrowed money or upon the receipt of certain payments not received in the ordinary course of business.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur, create or assume certain indebtedness, to create, incur or assume certain liens, to make certain investments, to make sales, transfers and dispositions of certain property and to undergo certain fundamental changes, including certain mergers, liquidations and consolidations. The Credit Agreement also requires the

Companyto maintain a minimum availability at all times of not less than 10% of the gross borrowing base and contains customary events of default. The Revolving Line of Credit matures on May 27, 2027.

Each of the subsidiaries of Holdings is a borrower under the Revolving Line of Credit, and all obligations under the Revolving Line of Credit are guaranteed by Holdings. All of the obligations under the Revolving Line of Credit are secured by a lien on substantially all of Holdings’ tangible and intangible working capital assets and the tangible and intangible working capital assets of all of Holdings’ subsidiaries, including a pledge of all capital stock of each of Holdings’ subsidiaries. The lien securing the obligations under the Revolving Line of Credit is a first priority lien as to certain liquid assets, including cash, accounts receivable, deposit accounts and inventory.

As of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, the Credit Agreement had $503 and $657, respectively in outstanding deferred financing fees. During fiscal years ended February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, the Company recognized $154, $184 and $251, respectively, of non-cash interest expense in relation to the amortization of deferred financing fees.

As of February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, gross borrowings under the Revolving Line of Credit and the Company's prior revolving line of credit were $1,458,076, $1,558,928, and $1,731,998, respectively. As of February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023, and January 29, 2022, gross paydowns under the Revolving Line of Credit and the Company's prior revolving line of credit were $1,432,841, $1,543,677, and $1,656,140, respectively.

Restricted Net Assets

The provisions of the Revolving Line of Credit restrict all of the net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, which constitute all of the net assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2024, from being used to pay any dividends without prior written consent from the financial institutions party to the Revolving Line of Credit.

(8) Sale-Leaseback Transactions

During the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, the Company did not complete any sale-leaseback transactions. In fiscal year 2022 the Company completedtwo sale-leaseback transactions the buildings associated to new store locations. For the sale-leaseback transaction, the Company was the owner of the building and paid all construction costs directly. Once construction was deemed complete and occupancy permits were obtained, the Company sold the building and rights to the constructed assets to the landlord for a predetermined amount and were written off the Company’s books. Any remaining assets were considered leasehold improvements or property and equipment. The total value of tenant allowances received under these transactions during fiscal year 2022 was $2,923.

Deferred tax assets have resulted primarily from the Company’s future deductible temporary differences. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income.

Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and the need for additional valuation allowances quarterly. At February 3, 2024, based on current facts and circumstances, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize benefit for its deferred tax assets.

As of February 3, 2024, the Company hadno unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.
