NOTE1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation**:**
Description of business
Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “the Company,” “Superior,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was organized in1920 and was incorporated in1922 as a New York company under the name Superior Surgical Mfg. Co., Inc. In1998, the Company changed its name to Superior Uniform Group, Inc. and redomiciled to Florida. Effective on* May 3, 2018,*Superior Uniform Group, Inc. changed its name to Superior Group of Companies, Inc.
Superior’s Branded Products segment, primarily through its signature marketing brands BAMKO® and HPI®, produces and sells customized merchandising solutions, promotional products and branded uniform programs. Branded products are manufactured throughthird parties or in Superior’s own facilities, and are sold to customers in a wide range of industries, including retail chain, food service, entertainment, technology, transportation and other industries. The segment currently has sales offices or operations in the United States, Canada and Brazil, with support services in China and India.
Superior’s Healthcare Apparel segment, primarily through its portfolio of brands Wink®, Fashion Seal Healthcare®, its trade name CID Resources and our license of Carhartt Medical, manufactures (throughthird parties or in its own facilities) and sells a wide range of healthcare apparel, such as scrubs, lab coats, protective apparel and patient apparel. This segment sells its products to healthcare laundries, dealers, distributors, retailers and consumers primarily in the United States.
Superior’s Contact Centers segment, through multiple The Office Gurus® entities, including subsidiaries in El Salvador, Belize, Dominican Republic, the United States and in Jamaica until its closure on* June 15, 2025,*provides outsourced, nearshore business process outsourcing, contact and call-center support services to North American customers.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Superior included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended* December 31, 2024*, and filed with the SEC. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results of operations for any interim period arenot necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
The Company refers to the consolidated financial statements collectively as “financial statements,” and individually as “statements of comprehensive income,” “balance sheets,” “statements of shareholders’ equity,” and “statements of cash flows” herein.
Change in Accounting Policy
The Company historically evaluated goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during thefourth quarter or when an indicator of impairment existed. During thethird quarter of2025, the Company voluntarily changed its date of the annual goodwill impairment assessment for all of its reporting units as well as its indefinite-lived intangible assets to* August 31st. Historically the annual test was performed during thefourth* quarter. The Company changed the date to provide timelier information for planning and forecasting purposes and provide additional time to complete the required impairment testing. The change didnot represent a material change to the Company’s method of applying the accounting principle and wasnot retrospectively applied because the Company didnot carry a goodwill balance in2024 prior to thefourth quarter of2024. No impairments were identified during thethird quarter2025 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests.

Reclassifications
The accompanying financial statements for the prior year period contain certain reclassifications. Reclassifications impact items within our statements of comprehensive income, our statements of shareholders' equity, our statements of cash flows and Note7 Inventories. These reclassifications didnot have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows for the quarter ended* September 30, 2025*.
Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsNot Yet Adopted**
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, "Income Taxes (Topic740*)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that havenot* yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt the required disclosures in its annual financial statements as of* December 31, 2025.The adoption of this guidance willnot* affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASU2024*-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220*-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*“. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information about specific categories of costs and expenses in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2026,and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.*Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will likely result in additional disclosures. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.
In* July 2025,the FASB issued ASU2025*-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic326*): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets**". The FASB issued ASU2025*-05 to simplify the application of the current expected credit loss (CECL) model to short-term receivables and contract assets under ASC606. The amendments introduce a practical expedient (available to all entities) that allows companies to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the life of the asset, removing the need to incorporate complex macroeconomic forecasts for short-term assets. The scope includes current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from Topic606, including those acquired in business combinations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2025 (*interim periods included), with prospective application and early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.

NOTE3 – Net Sales:
For our Branded Products and Healthcare Apparel segments, revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Revenues for our Branded Products and Healthcare Apparel segments are recognized when the performance obligations under the contract terms are satisfied. For certain contracts with customers in which the Company has an enforceable right to payment for goods withno alternative use, revenue is recognized over time upon receipt of finished goods into inventory. Revenue for goods that do have an alternative use or that the customer isnot obligated to purchase under the terms of a contract is generally recognized when the goods are transferred to the customer. The Company includes shipping and handling fees billable to customers in net sales. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the transfer of promised goods are accrued as control is transferred to the customer rather than being treated as a separate performance obligation.
For our Contact Centers segment, revenue is generated from providing our customers with contact center services. Revenue for our Contact Centers segment is recognized as services are delivered.
Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the goods or services. Variable consideration for estimated returns, allowances and other price variances is recorded based upon historical experience and current allowance programs. Contract terms* mayinvolve variable consideration clauses such as sales discounts and customer rebates, and revenue is adjusted accordingly for these provisions. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized willnot* occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The promised amount of consideration in a contract isnot adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will beone year or less. Sales taxes are excluded from the measurement of a performance obligation’s transaction price. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred when we expect that the amortization period of such costs will beone year or less.
For further information regarding our net sales disaggregated by reportable segment see Note2.
The Company recognizes revenue when the customer takes control of the inventory, either upon shipment or when the material is made available for pick up. If the customer is deemed to take control of the inventory prior to pick up, the Company recognizes the revenue as a bill-and-hold transaction in accordance with Topic606. Sales under bill-and-hold arrangements totaled $10.6 million and $10.5 million, for thethree months ended* September 30, 2025and2024*, respectively. Sales under bill-and-hold arrangements totaled $30.1 million and $24.1 million, for thenine months ended* September 30, 2025and2024*, respectively.

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.
The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, butnot limited to, the expected operating income for the year and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes* may*change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
For thethree months ended* September 30, 2025*, the Company recorded tax expense of $0.4 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 13.9%. For thenine months ended* September 30, 2025*, the Company recorded tax expense of $0.6 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 14.1%. The income tax expense and the effective tax rate for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2025* were primarily impacted by the variability in the mix of earnings across the Company’s foreign and domestic operations, subject to various statutory tax rates in those jurisdictions. The tax rate was further favorably impacted by the performance of the Company’s compensation plans in both thethree andnine months ended* September**30,* 2025, totaling $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
For thethree months ended* September 30, 2024,the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 17.8%. For thenine* months ended* September 30, 2024,the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.9 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 16.1%. The income tax provision and the effective tax rate for thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2024*was primarily impacted by the variability in the mix of earnings across the Company’s foreign and domestic operations, subject to various statutory tax rates in those jurisdictions.
On* July 4, 2025,the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA includes significant changes to the domestic and international tax provisions, such as modifications to the global tax framework, the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in2025* and others implemented through2027. The Company has considered the impact of OBBBA on its annual effective tax rate. These changes didnot have a significant impact on the annual effective tax rate in the quarter ended* September 30, 2025*. The Company is currently evaluating the future impacts of OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements.
