Current report

Beginning in April 2025, the United States announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States, with incremental tariffs on products imported from most countries, including China, Vietnam and Indonesia, and the potential for further increases and revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements. In response, some countries have announced or are otherwise considering retaliatory tariffs on United States exports and other trade restrictions. These actions have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. During fiscal 2025, approximately 76% of our product was sourced from China, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Current report

We continue to monitor these changing tariffs and trade restrictions. We are taking steps to mitigate the impact of new and increased tariffs by working with our long standing vendors to participate in the increased costs, increasing prices where possible and continuing to look for alternative sourcing options.

Previous report

During fiscal 2025, approximately 76% of our product was sourced from China, Vietnam and Indonesia. In April 2025, the United States imposed a minimum 10% tariff on most foreign imports into the United States and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on imports from certain countries. The tariffs most relevant to us included, but were not limited to, (i) an additional 125% tariff on all imports from China, (ii) an additional 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam and (iii) an additional 32% tariff on imports from Indonesia. In May 2025, the tariffs levied on China have been temporarily reduced to 30% and will remain reduced through November 2025. Reciprocal tariffs on countries other than China went into effect in August 2025. The current tariff rates for Vietnam and Indonesia are 20% and 19%, respectively.

Previous report

As a result of the initial tariffs levied on China, we had suspended substantially all shipments from China. With the administration’s announcement that the tariffs on imports from China had been paused, we resumed shipping from China. Ocean carriers, which had previously cancelled sailings and removed vessels from service, had returned to full capacity at the time shipping resumed, resulting in minimal disruption. Freight charges were negatively impacted for a short period of time but have since stabilized.

Previous report

Depreciation and amortization was $7.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year. This increase primarily results from higher depreciation related to fixturing costs at department stores.

The Federal Reserve increased interest rates several times in fiscal 2024 in response to concerns about inflation. The Federal Reserve decreased interest rates in fiscal 2025 and has maintained those rates in fiscal 2026, however it is unclear whether the Federal Reserve will reduce, increase or maintain the current rates in the future. Higher interest rates increase the cost of our borrowing under our revolving credit facility, may increase economic uncertainty and may negatively affect consumer spending. Volatility in interest rates may adversely affect our business or our customers. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, or at all.
