  1. LEASES

Based on the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 842, Leases(“ASC 842”), the Company recognizes right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities related to leases on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities reflect the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments and the ROU asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced tozero at the end of the lease.

The Company leases retail space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2036. Substantially all of these arrangements are store leases. Store leases generally have initial lease terms ranging from five years tofifteen years with renewal options and rent escalation provisions. At the commencement of a lease, the Company includes only the initial lease term as the option to extend is not reasonably certain. The Company does not record leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

When calculating the lease liability on a discounted basis, the Company applies its estimated discount. The Company bases this discount on a collateralized interest rate as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics.

In addition to rent payments, leases for retail space contain payments for real estate taxes, insurance costs, common area maintenance, and utilities that are not fixed. The Company accounts for these costs as variable payments and does not include such costs as a lease component.

The expense components of the Company’s leases reflected on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations were as follows:

TRI Holdings, LLC

TRI entered into a senior secured note (“TRI Senior Secured Note”) with an original balance of $26.7 million. The TRI Senior Secured Note is scheduled to mature on October 15, 2038 and requires installment payments with an interest rate of 4.95%. See Note 6 “Variable Interest Entities” for further information.

TRI entered into a promissory note (“TRI Note”) with an original balance of $3.5 million. The TRI Note is scheduled to mature in November 2038 and requires annual interest payments at a rate of 3.05%, with a final balloon payment due in November 2038.

While the above notes are consolidated in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company is not the guarantor nor obligor of these notes.

Credit Agreement

On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. The Credit Agreement originally matured on May 14, 2026 and provided for borrowings of up to $150.0 million that were available under a revolving senior credit facility, with a $5.0 million sublimit for issuance of standby letters of credit, as well as a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. At the Company’s option, the interest rate applicable to the revolving senior credit facility was a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus the applicable rate of 1.25% to 2.00% determined based on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 0.25% to 1.00% based on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement was secured by essentially all Company assets and required the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a maximum rent adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement.

On July 8, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement in order to (i) increase the revolving commitment from $150.0 million to $200.0 million; (ii) extend the maturity date from May 14, 2026 to July 8, 2027; (iii) amend the pricing index to replace BSBY with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate; and (iv) reduce the commitment fee in some instances.

On January 31, 2025 the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement, in part, to (i) decrease the revolving commitment from $200 million to $100 million; (ii) revise the definition of “Applicable Rate” to provide for pricing terms in the event of a Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio greater than or equal to 3.50:1.0; (iii) limit the exceptions to the prohibition on restricted payments to (a) making dividends or distributions by any subsidiary to the Company, and (b) the acquisition of equity interests in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with restricted stock or awards under employee incentive plans; and (iv) provide that the Maximum Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio and the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be measured commencing on the fiscal quarter ending May 2, 2021 and measured quarterly thereafter as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company (other than for the fiscal quarter ending February 2, 2025). The reduction in the revolving commitment was intended to rightsize the credit facility with the Company’s cash needs to fund seasonal inventory builds and capital expenditure expectations and resulted in fee savings. The Credit Agreement was extinguished on April 28, 2025, resulting in a write down of $0.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the terminated line of credit.

On April 28, 2025, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain financial institutions as Lenders thereto, and BMO Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, a Swing Line Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount that are available under an asset-based revolving senior credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

Under the New Credit Agreement, (i) each Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate per annum equal to adjusted term SOFR plus 150 basis points; (ii) each base rate loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 50 basis points; (iii) each swing line loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus the applicable margin; and (iv) each other obligation will bear interest on the unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus the applicable margin.

The Company is also permitted to voluntarily prepay the New Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time, where borrowings bearing interest based on the base rate may be prepaid at any time without penalty and borrowings bearing interest based on SOFR may be prepaid, subject to payment of usual and customary breakage and redeployment costs. The revolver will mature on April 28, 2030. Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, the Company may request an increase in the revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of up to $25 million during the term of the New Credit Agreement and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to credit approval of the Lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The New Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants and is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

The new $100.0 million Revolver replaces the prior revolving credit facility at a lower interest rate and extends the availability of funds to April 28, 2030. The Company believes the New Credit Agreement will provide the Company with flexibility and liquidity to finance seasonal inventory builds.

On July 16, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the New Credit Agreement where all revolving credit loans advanced or prepaid pursuant to such Sweep to Loan Arrangement shall bear interest based on the Base Rate.

  1. FAIR VALUE

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The exit price is based on the amount that the holder of the asset or liability would receive or need to pay in an actual transaction (or in a hypothetical transaction if an actual transaction does not exist) at the measurement date. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 3 instruments. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale security was valued based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3), which incorporates the U.S. Treasury yield curve, credit information and an estimate of future cash flows. During the six months ended August 3, 2025, certain changes in the inputs did impact the fair value of the available-for-sale security. The calculated fair value is based on estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale security and the corresponding amount of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows:

Cost or · Gross · Gross
AmortizedUnrealizedUnrealizedEstimated

Level 3 security:
Corporate trust$5,356$—$(865)$4,491

The Company does not intend to sell the available-for-sale-security in the near term and does not believe that it will be required to sell the security. The Company reviews its securities on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment.

No other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for thethree months ended August 3, 2025 or July 28, 2024.

The following table presents future principal receipts related to the Company’s available-for-sale security by contractual maturity as of August 3, 2025.

The above long-term debt, including short-term portion is attributable to the consolidation of TRI in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The fair value was also based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3) based on credit information and an estimate of future cash flows.

  1. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and is therefore deemed the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary ofone VIE as of August 3, 2025 and February 2, 2025.

The Company leases the Company’s headquarters in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin from TRI. In conjunction with the lease, the Company invested $6.3 million in a trust that loaned funds to TRI for the construction of the Company’s headquarters. TRI is a Wisconsin limited liability company whose primary purpose and activity is to own this real property. The Company considers itself the primary beneficiary for TRI as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and is expected to receive benefits that are significant to TRI. As the Company is the primary beneficiary, it consolidates TRI and the lease is eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate the trust as the Company is not the primary beneficiary.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following amounts as a result of the consolidation of TRI as of August 3, 2025 and February 2, 2025:

  1. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding restricted stock and are considered only for dilutive earnings per share unless considered anti-dilutive. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation is as follows:

Basic$0.04$(0.06)$(0.41)$(0.30)
Diluted$0.04$(0.06)$(0.41)$(0.30)

The computation of diluted loss per share excluded (0.4) million of unvested restricted stock for the three months ended July 28, 2024, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to a net loss.

The computation of diluted loss per share excluded (0.2) million and (0.0) million of unvested restricted stock for the six months ended August 3, 2025 and July 28, 2024, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to a net loss.

  1. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to measure all share-based payments at grant date fair value and recognize the cost over the requisite service period of the award.

Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock recognized by the Company was $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2025 respectively. The Company’s total stock compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A summary of the activity in the Company’s unvested restricted stock during the six months ended August 3, 2025 is as follows:

The Company’s contract liabilities primarily consist of gift card liabilities and are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities under deferred revenue (see Note 4 “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities”) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance of a gift card, a liability is established for its cash value. The gift card liability is relieved and revenues on gift cards are recorded at the time of redemption by the customer.

Contract assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following table:

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes during the interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. The effective tax rate related to controlling interest was (6%) and 21% for the six months ended August 3, 2025 and July 28, 2024, respectively. The income from TRI was excluded from the calculation of the Company’s effective tax rate, as TRI is a limited liability company and not subject to income tax. The effective tax rate fluctuated significantly year over year primarily due to the Company having established a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets during the third quarter of the year ended February 2, 2025. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of the six months period ended August 3, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the United States which permanently extends select expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We’ve considered the impact of the OBBBA on the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The changes did not have a significant impact to the annual effective tax rate. However, the enactment of the OBBBA introduced several significant tax law modifications that, while not affecting the annual effective tax rate, do have other implications for the Company. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing pursuant to IRC 174, and ability to deduct interest expense pursuant to IRC 163(j).

  1. RESTRUCTURING

On June 4, 2025, as a result of right-sizing the expense structure of the Company, the Company voluntarily underwent a reduction in force.

On July 12, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), as a result of the phase two analysis of the fulfillment center network, the Company voluntarily entered into a lease amendment for one of its legacy fulfillment center leases in Dubuque, Iowa. The amended lease accelerated the lease expiration date from September 30, 2030 to October 27, 2024. The amended lease requires Duluth to pay an aggregate of $3.7 million (the “Termination Penalty”) in consideration of accelerating the lease termination date, which was paid infour equal quarterly installments from October 2024 through August 2025. The Company is amortized the loss from the Termination Penalty, as well as the net loss from writing off the right-of-use asset and lease liability over the modified remaining lease term. In addition, the Company is accelerating the depreciation of the non-transferrable fixed assets to have no remaining net book value by the modified lease expiration date.
