Current report
Evolving regulations related to ESG, climate change, and sustainability could increase our costs and impose operational restrictions.
Current report
Increased governmental focus on climate change and other ESG matters has led to complex and conflicting regulatory requirements, such as increasing state-level regulations related to the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in merchandise, extended producer responsibility legislation related to packaging and waste, and climate risk and greenhouse gas reporting mandates across federal and state jurisdictions (which remain subject to evolving administrative actions, legal challenges, judicial stays, and potential rescissions or modifications) that require investment in data collection and compliance infrastructure. Failure to meet these standards, or the differing expectations of our stakeholders, may directly or indirectly have a significant impact on the costs of our operations, including energy, resources used to produce our products, and compliance costs; result in sales restrictions in certain jurisdictions or regulatory fines; lead to reputational damage; and result in increased scrutiny that could heighten all of the ESG-related risks to which we are subject. Additionally, many of our suppliers may be subject to similar regulations and expectations, which may exacerbate existing risks or create new ones, including risks that may not be known to us. Any of these developments may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Previous wording
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be taken of the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Current wording
There have been no significant changes in the Risk Factors described in our 2025 Form 10-K, other than as set out in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 2, 2026, in Item 1A of Part II and as follows:
Previous wording
Changes in global trade policies and the imposition of tariffs could increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain.
Current wording
Changes in global trade policies, tariff imposition, and tariff recoveries could increase our costs, distort gross margin comparability, and disrupt our supply chain.
Previous wording
The majority of goods we source are manufactured outside of the United States, primarily in Asia. Consequently, our business is subject to risks associated with foreign trade, including changes in trade policy. Recent or potential impositions of new or increased tariffs on imported products, or the removal of de minimis thresholds for direct-to-consumer imports, could increase our merchandise costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and liquidity. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the IEEPA. While this ruling has initiated a refund process, the availability, timing, and amount of such refunds remain uncertain and subject to further legal and administrative developments. Following this decision, the U.S. presidential administration invoked alternative authorities, including Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to impose new tariffs on imports from various countries. These and other trade and tariff-related actions may be subject to legal challenge, judicial reviews, stays, or appeals, which could result in further volatility in our merchandise costs and supply chain. If we are unable to diversify our sourcing, divert production or sourcing away from specific countries to avoid tariffs, or otherwise successfully mitigate the impact of these trade policies, our gross margins, costs of merchandise sold, results of operations, and competitive position could be adversely affected. Furthermore, retaliatory trade measures by other countries could increase the costs of our operations or limit our access to critical raw materials or merchandise.
Current wording
The majority of goods we source are manufactured outside of the United States, primarily in Asia. Consequently, our business is subject to risks associated with foreign trade, including changes in trade policy. Recent or potential impositions of new or increased tariffs on imported products, or the removal of de minimis thresholds for direct-to-consumer imports, could increase our merchandise costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and liquidity. Following the United States Supreme Court decision invalidating tariffs previously imposed under the IEEPA, we initiated refund claims and have received tariff refunds. Remaining or future refund claims continue to be subject to uncertainty, including with respect to administrative processing, legal entitlement, timing, and ultimate receipt. Following the Supreme Court decision, the U.S. presidential administration took actions to impose tariffs on imports from various countries under alternative authorities, including Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, alongside potential actions under other trade authorities. These and other trade and tariff-related actions may be subject to legal challenge, judicial reviews, stays, or appeals, which could result in further volatility in our merchandise costs and supply chain, erode or offset benefits from prior tariff recoveries, cause supply chain delays, or necessitate sourcing realignments. If we are unable to diversify our sourcing, divert production or sourcing away from specific countries to avoid tariffs, or otherwise successfully mitigate the impact of these trade policies, our gross margins, the comparability of our operating results, costs of merchandise sold, results of operations, and competitive position could be adversely affected. Furthermore, retaliatory trade measures by other countries could increase the costs of our operations or limit our access to critical raw materials or merchandise.
