As of October 30, 2021, the Company operated 600 stores in urban, suburban and rural markets in 33 states. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 Form 10-K. Operating results for the third quarter of 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a result of the seasonality of the business and continued uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the novel coronavirus, including variants of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the duration and extent of any economic stimulus programs.
