Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Duluth Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Product return reserve

As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, as of February 1, 2026, the Company recorded $4,529 thousand in reserves for product returns within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Management estimates the product return reserve using its own historical sales and product return information.

We identified the assessment of the product return reserve as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgement was required to assess whether the historical return rate used to estimate the reserve for product returns is indicative of future returns.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated and tested the design and implementation of certain internal controls related to the product return reserve. This included controls related to determining the historical return rate used to estimate product returns. We assessed the Company’s ability to accurately estimate the product return rate by comparing prior period estimates to actual product return rates experienced. We analyzed the product return rate assumption by evaluating the consistency of the assumption with the trend of actual historical product return rates and by comparing the product return reserve to actual product returns received after the balance sheet date.
