Current report

Interest expense, net decreased $2,490, or 60.2%, to $1,647 in the three months ended August 3, 2024 from $4,137 in the three months ended July 29, 2023, primarily due to a $1,755 write-off of deferred financing costs and a $553 prepayment penalty both associated with the termination of the Term Loan Credit Facility, as well as an $828 write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, incurred in the prior comparative quarter ended July 29, 2023, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the Third Lien credit facility.

Current report

Benefit for income taxes for the three months ended August 3, 2024 was $794, due to the reversal of the $794 ordinary tax expense recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as the Company has year-to-date ordinary pre-tax losses for the interim period and is anticipating annual ordinary pre-tax income for the fiscal year. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the year-to-date ordinary pre-tax loss will not be realized in the current or future years and as such, tax provisions for the interim periods should not be recognized until the Company has year-to-date ordinary pre-tax income.

Current report

The benefit for income taxes was $592 for the three months ended July 29, 2023 which is due to applying the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year to the three months (loss) income before income taxes and equity in net income (loss) of equity method investment, excluding discrete items. Discrete items for the second quarter included the $32,043 Vince IP Sale Gain and $2,041 in transaction expenses related to the transaction with Authentic Brands Group. Tax expense associated with these discrete items is not material as the Company has substantial net operating losses, both at the federal and state levels, for which a full valuation allowance is maintained against these deferred tax assets.

Current report

Equity in net income (loss) of equity method investment for the three months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 was $292 and $207, respectively, and was related to the Company's 25% membership interest in ABG Vince.

Current report

Our Vince Direct-to-consumer segment had a loss from operations of $1,398 in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to income from operations of $1,098 in the three months ended July 29, 2023. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in sales. The prior comparative quarter also included lease modifications that partially offset rent expense. The loss from operations in the current quarter was partially offset by an improved gross margin that was unfavorably impacted by royalty expenses associated with the License Agreement with ABG Vince.

Current report

Our Rebecca Taylor and Parker segment had income from operations of $0 in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to income from operations of $1,257 in the three months ended July 29, 2023.

Previous wording

Provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended May 4, 2024 was a benefit of $887, which was primarily driven by $1,681 of discrete tax benefit primarily recognized from the reversal of a portion of the non-cash deferred tax liability related to the Company's equity method investment, which a portion can now be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company's net operating losses. This was partially offset by tax expense of $794 due to the impact of applying the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year to the three-month pre-tax loss excluding discrete items.

Current wording

Benefit for income taxes for the six months ended August 3, 2024 was $1,681. The benefit represents the discrete tax benefit recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily recognized from the reversal of a portion of the non-cash deferred tax liability related to the Company's equity method investment, which a portion can now be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company's net operating losses.

Previous wording

The benefit for income taxes was $5,285 for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and primarily reflected the impact of a decrease in the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. The Company's estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year was driven by the non-cash deferred tax expense created by the current period amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for book purposes. See Note 11 "Income Taxes" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Current wording

The benefit for income taxes was $5,877 for the six months ended July 29, 2023. This benefit was due to a $6,127 discrete tax impact from the change in classification of the Company's Vince tradename indefinite-lived intangibles to Assets Held for Sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, offset by $250 of tax expense from applying the Company's estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year to the six-months (loss) income before income taxes and equity in net income (loss) of equity method investment, excluding discrete items. The change in classification of the Company's Vince tradename indefinite-lived intangibles resulted in a reversal of the non-cash deferred tax liability previously created by the amortization of indefinite-lived tradename intangible asset recognized for tax but not for book purposes, as this non-cash deferred tax liability can now be used as a source to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company's net operating losses. See Note 11 "Income Taxes" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Previous wording

Equity in net loss of equity method investment for the three months ended May 4, 2024 was a loss of $465 related to the Company's 25% membership interest in ABG Vince.

Our Vince Direct-to-consumer segment had a loss from operations of $64 in the three months ended May 4, 2024 compared to income from operations of $1,101 in the three months ended April 29, 2023.

Current wording

Our Vince Direct-to-consumer segment had a loss from operations of $1,462 in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to income from operations of $2,199 in the six months ended July 29, 2023.

Previous wording

Our Rebecca Taylor and Parker segment had a gain from operations of $7,633 in the three months ended May 4, 2024 compared to a gain from operations of $1,192 in the three months ended April 29, 2023. The change was driven by the gain on sale of Rebecca Taylor.
