Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three-month periods ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim periods, the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, or for any future fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at February 1, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Torrid and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Description of Business

We are a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and accessories in North America aimed at fashionable women who are curvy and wear sizes 10 to 30. We generate revenues primarily through our e-Commerce platform www.torrid.com and our stores in the United States of America, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to merchandise returns, the value of future loyalty program award redemptions, net realizable value of our inventory, share-based compensation, and incremental borrowing rate and probability assessments of exercising renewal options on leases. We base our estimates on the best information available at the time, our experiences, and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of our significant accounting policies is included in the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Form 10-K. No changes to significant accounting policies have occurred since February 1, 2025.

Inventory

Our inventory is comprised solely of finished goods.

Note 2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards During the Three-Month Period Ended May 3, 2025

We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three-month period ended May 3, 2025.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures("ASU 2023-09"). The ASU includes amendments requiring enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for us for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. This guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”), which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date and should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial statements and disclosures.

We have considered all other recent accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no other recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that are applicable to us, based on current information.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In April 2024, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California captioned Crystal Jillson and Carmen Perez v. Torrid LLC. The complaint alleges misleading and unlawful pricing, sales, and discounting practices on our website under multiple legal theories including violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, California False Advertising Law and California Consumer Legal Remedies Act. In May 2025, we entered into a proposed settlement agreement to resolve this matter. The proposed settlement agreement is subject to approval by the court. Accrued legal of $4.0 million, which comprises the estimated probable loss for this case and other unrelated legal costs, is included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 3, 2025.

In October 2024, we were notified by a third-party vendor that it had observed a potentially unauthorized access to our data stored in a data warehouse. We have been named as a defendant insix pending class action lawsuits alleging that we failed to employ adequate security measures to protect the data stored in the data warehouse. On February 25, 2025, the United States District Court of the Central District of California granted a motion to consolidate thesix lawsuits, and plaintiffs filed a single consolidated class action complaint on April 28, 2025. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

In February 2025, a class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California captioned Leslie Cruz v. Torrid LLC. The complaint alleges terms on our website violate California’s Yelp Law which makes it unlawful for contracts or proposed contracts for goods or services to include provisions waiving a consumer’s right to make statements concerning the goods or services and threatening to enforce such provisions. In May 2025, the complaint was amended to also allege misleading and unlawful pricing, sales and discounting practices on our website under multiple legal theories including violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, California False Advertising Law, California Legal Remedies Act, and Federal Trade Commission Act. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the complaint. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

From time to time, we are involved in other matters of litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Though significant litigation or awards against us could seriously harm our business and financial results, we do not at this time expect these other matters of litigation to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

During the ordinary course of business, we have made certain other indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to our Board of Directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted. Commitments include those given to various merchandise vendors and suppliers. From time to time, we have issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit as security for workers’ compensation claims. The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of our money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets. The deferred compensation plan liability represents the amount that would be earned by participants if the funds were invested in securities traded in active markets. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is determined based on quoted prices of similar assets that are traded in observable markets, or represents the cash withheld by participants prior to any investment activity.

The book value of cash, certain of our other current assets, accounts payable, and certain of our accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity and high liquidity of these instruments.

As of May 3, 2025 and February 1, 2025, the fair value of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $268.5 million and $274.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of each balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement.

The book value of the ABL Facility approximates fair value because of the variable interest rate of this facility, a Level 2 measurement.
