Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “can have”, “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenues, comparable store sales, operating income, earnings per share, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:

•The impacts of inflation on consumer spending generally and on our expense management, operating results and financial condition;

•most of our merchandise is made in foreign countries, making price and availability of our merchandise susceptible to international trade conditions, including tariffs, which may negatively impact the cost of our merchandise purchased for sale and/or the retail price to consumers, both of which could have a negative impact on our results of operations;

•our ability to adapt to declines in consumer confidence and decreases in consumer spending;

•our recent history of operating losses, and our potential need to commence borrowing under our credit facility and/or to acquire additional liquidity if our comparable net sales trend were to remain negative for an extended period of time;

•the impact of fluctuations in the price and availability of raw materials, labor, and transportation;

•our ability to compete effectively in an environment of intense competition in stores, online and via social media marketing platforms;

•our ability to effectively manage inventory levels;

•our ability to adapt to changing trends in traffic for our stores and changes in our customers' purchasing patterns;

•our ability to identify and respond to new and changing customer fashion preferences and fashion-related trends;

•our ability to secure desirable lease arrangements and other economics to improve our profitability;

•our ability to successfully open new stores, profitably operate our existing stores, and/or to cost-effectively close unprofitable stores ahead of natural lease expirations;

•our ability to attract customers to our website and generate acceptable levels of return from our digital marketing efforts and other e-com growth initiatives;

•our ability to generate adequate cash from our existing stores and e-com to support our business;

•our ability to generate sufficient undiscounted cash flows to recover our investment in long-lived and right-of-use assets;

•our ability to generate sufficient pre-tax income to fully utilize our deferred tax assets;

•the success of the malls, power centers, neighborhood and lifestyle centers, outlet centers and street-front locations in which our stores are located;

•our ability to adapt to unseasonable weather impacting sales of our seasonal merchandise;

•our dependence on third-party vendors to provide us with sufficient quantities of merchandise at acceptable prices and on time;

•our ability to adapt to significant changes in sales due to the seasonality of our business;

•our dependence upon key executive management or our inability to hire or retain the talent required for our business;

•our ability to establish, maintain and enhance a strong brand image;

•our ability to balance proprietary branded merchandise with the third-party branded merchandise we sell;

•our ability to efficiently utilize our e-com fulfillment center;

•our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to make significant periodic lease payments for our stores, corporate offices and distribution centers;

•our ability to attract customers in the various retail venues and geographies in which our stores are located;

•our ability to respond to litigation claims we are subject to;

•our ability to respond to changes in employment and wage and hour laws;

•failure of our vendors and their manufacturing sources to use acceptable labor or other practices;

•our ability to effectively respond to disruptions in our supply chain and distribution center;

•our ability to adjust to increasing costs of mailing catalogs, paper and printing;

•failure of our information technology systems to support our business, before and after our planned upgrades;

•our ability to secure our data and comply with privacy laws and the security standards of the credit card industry;

•disruptions to our information systems in the ordinary course of business, as a result of systems upgrades or due to intentional attacks;

•our ability to protect our trademarks or other intellectual property rights;

4

•our potential liability if we or our vendors unknowingly infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties;

•natural disasters, unusually adverse weather conditions, port delays, boycotts, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest and other unanticipated events;

•the potential effects of unionization and work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees;

•continuing costs incurred as a result of being a public company; and

•our ability to respond to risks associated with climate change, environmental, social and governance initiatives, and sustainability initiatives.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

See “Risk Factors” within our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties mentioned above and for discussion of other risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as others made in this Report and hereafter in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the risks and uncertainties identified by us may not be all of the factors that are important to you. Furthermore, the disclosures and forward-looking statements included in this Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Tillys is a destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls with an extensive assortment of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active, outdoor and social lifestyle. Tillys is headquartered in Irvine, California and operated 220 stores, in 32 states as of May 2, 2026. Our stores are located in malls, lifestyle centers, ‘power’ centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front locations. Customers may also shop online at www.tillys.com, where we feature the same assortment of products as carried in our brick-and-mortar stores, supplemented by additional online-only styles. Our goal is to serve as a destination for the latest, most relevant merchandise and brands important to our customers.

The Tillys concept began in 1982, when our co-founders, Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine, opened their first store in Orange County, California. Since 1984, the business has been conducted through World of Jeans & Tops, a California corporation, or “WOJT”, which operates under the name “Tillys”. In May 2011, Tilly’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of WOJT in preparation for an initial public offering. As part of the initial public offering in May 2012, WOJT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly's, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tilly's, Inc. and WOJT. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms "the Company", "we", "our", "us" and "Tillys" refer to Tilly's, Inc. and its subsidiary, WOJT.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to 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 GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen-week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2025").

Fiscal Periods

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 2026 refer to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. References to the fiscal quarters or first three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 refer to the thirteen week periods ended as of those dates, respectively.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Information regarding our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns and taxes collected from our customers. For e-commerce ("e-com") net sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes net sales from our retail stores and e-com (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Retail stores	$	96,317	$	85,912
E-com	28,401		21,699
Total net sales	$	124,718	$	107,611

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by department:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Mens	32	%	36	%
Womens	32	%	31	%
Footwear	14	%	13	%
Accessories	11	%	12	%
Girls	6	%	4	%
Boys	5	%	4	%
Total net sales	100	%	100	%

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by third-party and proprietary branded merchandise:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Third-party	59	%	63	%
Proprietary	41	%	37	%
Total net sales	100	%	100	%

We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, our reserve for sales returns was $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. The customer liability balance was $8.0 million, $8.7 million and $8.8 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates, and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card "breakage"). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Revenue recognized from gift cards was $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the opening gift card balance was $8.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million was recognized as revenue during both of these periods.

We have a customer loyalty program where customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty member achieves a certain point level, the member earns an award that may be used towards the purchase of merchandise. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as deferred revenue and awards redeemed by the member for merchandise are recorded as an increase to net sales. Our loyalty program allows customers to redeem their awards instantly or build up to additional awards over time. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points expire 365 days after the customer's original purchase date. A liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of points earned and expected future redemptions. The deferred revenue for this program was $5.0 million, $4.6 million, and $4.6 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The value of points redeemed through our loyalty program was $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the thirteen-weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025,

12

the opening loyalty program balance was $4.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of which $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, were recognized as revenue during these periods.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over five to seven years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five years. Computer software is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements and the cost of acquiring leasehold rights are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals, replacements and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.

Leases

We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms generally range up to 10 years in duration (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.

Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year, and we recognize a single lease cost, with such cost allocated over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. We do not record any leases with terms of 12 months or less as operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities, these are instead expensed as incurred. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of net sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of those specified net sales is probable.

Our operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs, utilities, and other maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with the lease payments for the purpose of calculating the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

We lease approximately 172,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (10 and 12 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, we incurred rent expense of $0.5 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index (the "LAARUCPI"), not to exceed 7%. The lease began on January 1, 2003 and terminates on December 31, 2027.

13

We lease approximately 26,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (11 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we incurred rent expense of $0.2 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually at the greater of 5% or the change in the LAARUCPI. The lease began on June 29, 2012 and terminates on June 30, 2032.

We lease approximately 81,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (17 Pasteur, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. We use this property as our e-com distribution center. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we incurred rent expense of $0.4 million related to this lease. The lease payment adjusts annually based upon the greater of 5% or the change in the LAARUCPI. The lease began on November 1, 2011 and terminates on October 31, 2031.

We sublease a portion of our office space, approximately 5,887 square feet, in the 17 Pasteur, Irvine, California facility to Tilly's Life Center ("TLC"), a related party and a charitable organization. During the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we recorded sublease income of $25.8 thousand and $24.5 thousand, respectively, related to this lease. The lease term is for five years and terminates on January 31, 2027. Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease agreement and is recorded as an offset within the selling, general and administrative section in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The maturity of operating lease liabilities and sublease income as of May 2, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Related Party		Other		Total		Sublease Income

As of May 2, 2026, additional operating lease liabilities that had not yet commenced were $1.5 million.

Lease expense for the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended

Supplemental lease information for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 was as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026	May 3, 2025
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities (in thousands)	$16,193	$17,614
Weighted average remaining lease term (in years)	4.7 years	4.9 years
Weighted average interest rate (1)	7.68%	6.82%

(1) Since our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") at lease inception, or lease modification, in determining the present value of future minimum payments. In determining an appropriate IBR, our assumptions included the use of a consistent discount rate for a portfolio of leases entered into at varying dates, the full 10-year term of the lease, excluding any options, and the total minimum lease payments.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was (1.7)% of pre-tax loss, compared to 0.6% of pre-tax loss, for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. Both years' income tax rates include the continuing impact of a full, non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 requires entities to begin capitalizing internal-use software when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This new standard can be adopted using any of: (i) a prospective transition approach (ii) a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or (iii) a retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The update improves the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of commercial paper, classified as available-for-sale, and fixed income securities, classified as held-to-maturity, as we have the intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Our investments in commercial paper and fixed income securities are recorded at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, which approximates fair value. All of our marketable securities are less than one year from maturity.

The following table summarizes our investments in marketable securities at May 2, 2026, and May 3, 2025 (in thousands). We did not have any marketable securities as of January 31, 2026:

	May 2, 2026
	Cost or Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Holding Gains		Gross Unrealized Holding Losses		Estimated Fair Value

Note 4: Asset-Backed Credit Agreement

On April 27, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an asset-backed credit agreement and revolving line of credit note (the "Note" and, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Revolving Facility”) of up to $65.0 million (“Revolving Commitment”) consisting of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans, with a sub-limit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $10.0 million and a sub-limit for swing line loans of $7.5 million, which replaced our previous senior secured credit agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby we may increase the Revolving Commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $12.5 million, subject to certain conditions. On March 25, 2025, we entered into an amendment of the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date to June 25, 2027. The payment and performance in full of the secured obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by a lien on and security interest in all of our assets.

The maximum borrowings permitted under the Revolving Facility is equal to the lesser of (x) the Revolving Commitment and (y) the applicable borrowing base, which is equal to (i) 90% of our eligible credit card receivables, plus (ii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible inventory, less certain inventory reserves, plus (iii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible in-transit inventory, less certain inventory reserves, less (iv) certain other reserves established by the Bank.

The unused portion of the Revolving Commitment accrues a commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.375% per annum, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility under the applicable fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum that ranges from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment (equal to 10 basis points for one- and three-month term SOFR) plus 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate (as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement) (the “Base Rate”) plus 0.50% to 1.00%, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility over the applicable fiscal quarter. We are allowed to elect to apply either SOFR or Base Rate interest to borrowings at our discretion, other than in the case of swing line loans, to which the Base Rate shall apply.

Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants customary in an asset-based lending facility, including a financial covenant relating to availability (which is required to remain above the greater of: (i) ten percent (10%) of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $6.0 million).

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts; covenant defaults; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; bankruptcy events; actual or asserted invalidity of any the Credit Agreement or related loan documents; or a change of control.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, we entered into certain ancillary agreements including (i) a security agreement in favor of the Bank, and (ii) a guarantee by us in favor of the Bank.

As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with all of our covenants, were eligible to borrow up to a total of $50.7 million and had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The only utilization of the letters of credit sub-limit under the Credit Agreement was a $1.7 million irrevocable standby letter of credit.

Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnifications, Commitments, and Guarantees

During the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments for certain transactions. These indemnifications include, but are not limited to, those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnifications to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The majority of these indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make, and their duration may be indefinite. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For some matters, we are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the occurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which we are a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against us will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, we were not engaged in

16

any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Note 6: Fair Value Measurements

We determine fair value based on a three-level valuation hierarchy as described below. Fair value is defined as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy of inputs used to determine fair value is as follows:

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

•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and 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 (i.e. projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including our marketable securities which are classified as available-for-sale securities, and certain cash equivalents, specifically money market securities, commercial paper, municipal bonds and certificates of deposits. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The available-for-sale marketable securities are valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third-party entities.

From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including evaluation of long-lived assets for impairments using Company-specific assumptions which would fall within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Fair value calculations contain significant judgments and estimates, which may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance.

As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, we did not have any Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

Financial Assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, we categorized our financial assets based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique for the instruments as follows (in thousands): 

	May 2, 2026						January 31, 2026						May 3, 2025
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(1) Excludes cash of $31.2 million, $0.2 million and $4.3 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

On at least a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets may not be recoverable. Based on Level 3 inputs of historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of our stores, we determine if a store would be able to generate sufficient undiscounted cash flows over the remaining term to recover our investment in long-lived and ROU assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of assets based on the discounted cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates the weighted average cost of capital plus a company-specific risk premium. Impairment losses are allocated between the long-lived assets and ROU assets on a relative carrying amount basis. The fair values of ROU assets are estimated by an independent third party and represent the highest and best use to a market participant. We determined that our stores would be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related leases to recover our investment or the ROU in the respective stores. As a result of this assessment, we recorded non-recurring, non-cash impairment charges of $1.0 million in the thirteen-weeks ended May 3, 2025, to write-down the carrying value of certain long-lived store assets and ROU assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment was recorded for the thirteen-weeks ended May 2, 2026.

Note 7: Share-Based Compensation

The Tilly's, Inc. 2012 Third Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), authorizes up to 8,613,900 shares for issuance of options, shares or rights to acquire our Class A common stock and allows for, among other things, operating income and comparable store sales growth targets as additional performance goals that may be used in connection with performance-based awards granted under the 2012 Plan. As of May 2, 2026, there were 366,290 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.

Stock Options

We grant stock options to certain employees that give them the right to acquire our Class A common stock under the 2012 Plan. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the closing price per share of our stock at the date of grant. The non-qualified options vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the award recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Performance-Based Stock Options

In fiscal year 2025, in conjunction with the hiring of our President and Chief Executive Officer, we granted 900,000 time-based stock options and 900,000 performance-based stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan. Vesting of these performance-based stock options is dependent upon the achievement of certain stock price targets based on the 30 consecutive trading day trailing average market closing price of the Company's stock.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 (aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):

	Stock Options	Grant Date Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Outstanding at January 31, 2026	4,125,458	$	4.64
Granted	496,000	$	4.20
Exercised	(14,750)	$	3.95
Forfeited	(72,500)	$	5.22
Expired	(2,875)	$	6.74
Outstanding at May 2, 2026	4,531,333	$	4.59	8.0	$	5,512
Exercisable at May 2, 2026	1,503,833	$	8.06	5.3	$	304

(1)Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the fiscal period and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal period. The market value per share was $4.40 at May 2, 2026.

The stock option awards were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and our expected annual dividend yield, if any. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We issue shares of Class A common stock when stock option awards are exercised.

The performance-based stock options were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Monte-Carlo valuation model. The Monte-Carlo valuation model uses multiple simulations to evaluate the probability of achieving various stock price levels in relation to the market condition. We expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved. Based on the Monte-Carlo valuation model, the total fair value as of the grant date of

18

performance-based stock options that vest based on market conditions was $1.2 million in fiscal year 2025. We did not award any performance-based stock options during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026.

The fair values of stock options and performance-based stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026			May 3, 2025
Weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted	$	2.57		$	1.20
Expected option term (1)	5.7 years			5.4 years
Weighted average expected volatility factor (2)	65.0		%	57.0		%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate (3)	4.0		%	4.0		%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)	—		%	—		%

(1)The expected option term of the awards represents the estimated time that options are expected to be outstanding based upon historical option data.

(2)Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the awards.

(3)The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.

(4)We do not currently have a dividend policy, and we do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock at this time.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") represent restricted shares issued upon the date of grant in which the recipient's rights in the stock are restricted until the shares are vested, whereas restricted stock units ("RSUs") represent shares issuable in the future upon vesting. Under the 2012 Plan, we grant RSAs to independent members of our Board of Directors and RSUs to certain employees. RSAs granted to Board members vest at a rate of 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective award recipient continues to serve on our Board of Directors through each of those vesting dates. The RSUs granted to certain employees vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates. We determine the fair value of restricted stock underlying the RSAs and RSUs based upon the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the status of non-vested restricted stock as of May 2, 2026, and the changes since January 31, 2026:

	Restricted Stock	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 31, 2026	358,462	$	1.56
Granted	—	—
Vested	—	—
Nonvested at May 2, 2026	358,462	$	1.56

Share-based compensation expense associated with stock options and restricted stock is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Cost of goods sold	$	84	$	70
Selling, general, and administrative	419		370
Total share-based compensation	$	503	$	440

At May 2, 2026, there was $4.8 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock. This cost has a weighted average remaining recognition period of 2.8 years.

Note 8: Net Loss Per Share

Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock (i.e., in-the-money outstanding stock options as well as RSAs) outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, unamortized compensation and hypothetical excess tax benefits, if any, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by us to purchase shares of common stock at the average market price during the period.

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 9: Segment Information

Tillys operates in one, consolidated operating and reportable segment, which is as a retailer of casual apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods (the "retail segment"). Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance, allocating resources and making operational decisions.

The retail segment derives revenues from our stores located in a variety of retail centers in the United States and via our website. We identified one reportable segment based on the similar nature of products sold, production, merchandising and distribution processes involved, target customers, and economic characteristics.

The CODM measures performance for the segment primarily based on operating (loss) income. The CODM uses operating (loss) income to evaluate operating performance and determine allocation of resources to seek to promote improved performance.

The measure of segment assets is reported as total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accounting policies of the retail segment are the same as those described in "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes of Tilly’s, Inc. included in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. As used in this Report, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “the Company”, “World of Jeans & Tops”, “we”, “our”, “us”, "Tillys" and “Tilly’s” refer to Tilly’s, Inc. and its subsidiary.

Overview

Tillys is a destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls. We believe we bring together an unparalleled selection of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active, outdoor and social lifestyle. The Tillys concept began in 1982, when our co-founders, Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine, opened our first store in Orange County, California. As of May 2, 2026, we operated 220 stores in 32 states, averaging approximately 7,127 square feet per store, compared to 238 total stores at the same time last year. We also sell our products through our e-commerce ("e-com") website, www.tillys.com.

Known or Anticipated Trends

We believe the combined impacts of persistent inflation related to prices of essential goods, including but not limited to fuel and grocery prices, enacted and potential tariffs, geo-political conflicts, and potential economic recession in the current economic environment could negatively impact consumer spending generally and our customer base, in particular, which could negatively impact our ability to build upon the turnaround momentum we have been generating in our business in recent quarters.

Inflation more broadly has resulted in increased costs for many products and services that are necessary for the operation of our business, such as product costs, labor costs, shipping costs, and digital marketing costs, among others. For example, store payroll and payroll-related expenses represented approximately 46% of our total selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Our average hourly rate for store payroll in fiscal 2026 was approximately 37% higher than in pre-pandemic fiscal 2019 and approximately 1% higher than in fiscal 2025. These and other cost increases may continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition in fiscal 2026, particularly if we are unable to sustain net sales growth.

We expect our effective income tax rate to be near zero on an annual basis until such time that we are able to return to generating operating profits on a consistent basis due to maintaining a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets as a result of our recent operating losses.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are net sales, comparable store sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and operating loss.

Net Sales

Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of our merchandise at store locations and through e-com, net of sales taxes. Store net sales are reflected in sales when the merchandise is received by the customer. For e-com net sales, we recognize revenue, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Net sales also include shipping and handling fees for e-com shipments that have been shipped to the customer. Net sales are net of returns on sales during the period as well as an estimate of returns expected in the future stemming from current period sales. We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card “breakage”). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions.

Our business is seasonal and as a result our revenues fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In addition, our revenues in any given quarter can be affected by a number of factors including the timing of holidays and weather patterns. The third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which include the back-to-school and holiday sales seasons, have historically produced stronger sales and disproportionately stronger operating results than have the first two quarters of the fiscal year.

Comparable Store Net Sales

Comparable store net sales is a measure that indicates the change in year-over-year comparable store net sales, which allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Numerous factors affect our comparable store net sales, including: 

22

•overall economic trends;

•our ability to attract traffic to our stores and online platform;

•our ability to identify and respond effectively to consumer preferences and fashion trends;

•competition;

•the timing of our releases of new and seasonal styles;

•changes in our product mix;

•pricing;

•the level of customer service that we provide in stores;

•our ability to source, distribute and allocate products efficiently;

•calendar shifts of holiday or seasonal periods;

•the number and timing of store openings and the relative proportion of new stores to mature stores; and

•the timing and success of promotional and advertising efforts.

Our comparable store net sales are defined as net sales from our physical stores open on a daily basis combined with net sales from our e-com website compared to the same respective fiscal dates of the prior year. A remodeled, relocated or refreshed store is included in comparable store net sales, both during and after construction, if the square footage of the store used to sell merchandise was not changed by more than 20% in any fiscal month. We include net sales from our e-com website as part of comparable store net sales as we manage and analyze our business on a single omni-channel basis and have substantially integrated our investments and operations for our stores and e-com website to give our customers seamless access and increased ease of shopping. Comparable store net sales exclude gift card breakage income and e-com shipping and handling fee revenue. Some of our competitors and other retailers may calculate comparable or “same store” net sales differently than we do. As a result, data in this Report regarding our comparable store net sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold reflects the direct cost of purchased merchandise as well as buying, distribution and occupancy costs. Buying costs include compensation and benefit expense for our internal buying organization. Distribution costs include costs for receiving, processing and warehousing our store merchandise, and shipping of merchandise to or from our distribution and e-com fulfillment centers, and to our e-com customers and between store locations. Occupancy costs include the rent, common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes, security and depreciation costs of all store locations. These costs are significant and can be expected to continue to increase relative to business growth. The components of our reported cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retail companies.

We regularly analyze the components of gross profit as well as gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Specifically we look at the initial markup on purchases, markdowns and reserves, shrinkage, buying costs, distribution costs and occupancy costs. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups, a significant increase in our use of markdowns or a significant increase in inventory shrinkage or inability to generate sufficient sales leverage on the buying, distribution and occupancy components of cost of goods sold could have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations.

Gross profit is also impacted by shifts in the proportion of sales of proprietary branded products compared to third-party branded products, as well as by sales mix shifts within and between brands and between major product departments such as young men's and women's apparel, footwear or accessories. A substantial shift in the mix of products could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, gross profit and gross profit as a percent of sales have historically been higher in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, as these periods include the back-to-school and winter holiday selling seasons. This reflects that various costs, including occupancy costs, generally do not increase in proportion to the seasonal sales increase.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses are comprised of store selling expenses and corporate-level general and administrative expenses. Store selling expenses include store and regional support costs, including personnel, advertising and debit and credit card processing costs, e-com receiving and processing costs and store supplies costs. General and administrative expenses include the payroll and support costs of corporate functions such as executive management, legal, accounting, information systems, human resources, impairment charges and other centralized services. Store selling expenses generally vary proportionately with net sales and store growth. In contrast, general and administrative expenses are generally not directly proportional to net sales and store growth but may be expected to increase over time to support the needs of our company. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are usually higher in lower volume periods and lower in higher volume periods.

Operating Loss

Operating loss equals gross profit less SG&A expenses. Operating loss excludes interest income, interest expense and income

23

taxes. Operating loss percentage measures operating loss as a percentage of our net sales.

First Quarter (13 Weeks) Ended May 2, 2026 Compared to First Quarter (13 Weeks) Ended May 3, 2025

Net Sales

Total net sales were $124.7 million, an increase of 15.9%. Total comparable net sales, including both physical stores and e-com, increased by 22.9%.

•Net sales from physical stores were $96.3 million, an increase of 12.1%. The Company ended the first quarter with 220 total stores, a decrease of 18 stores or 7.6%, compared to 238 total stores at the end of the first quarter last year. Comparable net sales from physical stores increased by 20.8% relative to the comparable 13-week period ended May 3, 2025. Net sales from physical stores represented 77.2% of total net sales this year compared to 79.8% total net sales last year.

•Net sales from e-com were $28.4 million, an increase of 30.9%. E-com net sales represented 22.8% of total net sales this year compared to 20.2% of total net sales last year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $36.1 million, or 28.9% of net sales, compared to $21.3 million, or 19.8% of net sales, last year. Product margins improved to 56.6% of net sales from 52.6% of net sales during last year's first quarter, primarily due to improved full-price selling from inventories that were more current in terms of aging compared to last year. Buying, distribution, and occupancy costs improved by 520 basis points as a percentage of net sales, or $0.9 million, collectively, primarily due to decreased occupancy costs associated with reduced store count.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses were $44.2 million, or 35.4% of net sales, compared to $44.0 million, or 40.9% of net sales, last year. Primary SG&A variances, both in terms of percentage of net sales and total dollars, were as follows:

%	$ millions	Primarily Attributable to
(0.2)%	$0.6	Increase in marketing expenses
(2.2)%	0.4	Increase in store payroll and related benefits
(0.9)%	(1.0)	Decrease in non-cash asset impairment charges.
(2.1)%	0.2	Net change from all other SG&A expenses
(5.4)%	$0.2	Total

25

Operating Loss

Operating loss was $8.1 million, or 6.5% of net sales, compared to $22.7 million, or 21.1% of net sales, last year primarily as a result of the combination of the factors noted above.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $0.1 million, or (1.7%) of pre-tax loss, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million, or 0.6% of pre-tax loss, last year. Both period's income tax results include the continuing impact of a full, non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Net Loss and Loss Per Share

Net loss was $8.0 million, or $0.26 net loss per share, compared to $22.2 million, or $0.74 net loss per share, last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business relies on cash flows from operating activities as well as cash on hand as our primary sources of liquidity. We currently expect to finance company operations, new store openings and remodels, and all of our planned capital expenditures with existing cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flows from operations.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, the most significant components of our working capital are merchandise inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses. We believe that cash flows from operating activities, our cash and marketable securities on hand, and credit facility availability will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months from the filing of this Report. If cash flows from operations are not sufficient or available to meet our capital requirements, then we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our stockholders.

Working Capital

Working capital at May 2, 2026, was $13.5 million compared to $25.1 million at January 31, 2026, a decrease of $11.6 million. The primary changes in our working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were as follows:

$ millions	Description
$25.1	Working capital at January 31, 2026
(5.2)	Decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
(4.1)	Decrease primarily due to an increase in operating lease liabilities
(3.1)	Decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets
2.3	Increase in merchandise inventories net of accounts payable
(1.5)	Net change from all other changes in current assets and current liabilities
$13.5	Working capital at May 2, 2026

Cash Flow Analysis

A summary of operating, investing and financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 is shown in the following table (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3,879)	$	(8,119)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(11,248)		14,294
Net cash provided by financing activities	58		—
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(15,069)	$	6,175

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities consist primarily of net loss adjusted for non-cash items that include depreciation and amortization, asset impairment charges, deferred income taxes, gains on maturities of marketable securities and share-based compensation expense, plus the effect on cash of changes during the year in our assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million this year compared to $8.1 million last year. The $4.2 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities compared to last year was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $14.2 million this year

26

compared to last year, partially offset by accounts payable balances and a decrease in related merchandise inventories as a result of efficient management of merchandise inventories and timing of payments, respectively.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided By Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures and maturities and purchases of marketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.2 million this year compared to net cash provided by of $14.3 million last year. Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 consisted of purchases of marketable securities of $9.9 million, and capital expenditures totaling $1.4 million. Net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 consisted of maturities of marketable securities of $15.8 million, partially offset by capital expenditures totaling $1.5 million.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from employee exercises of stock options.

Credit Agreement

On April 27, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an asset-backed credit agreement and revolving line of credit note (the "Note" and, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Facility”) of up to $65.0 million (“Revolving Commitment”) consisting of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans, with a sub-limit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $10.0 million and a sub-limit for swing line loans of $7.5 million, which replaced our previous senior secured credit agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby we may increase the Revolving Commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $12.5 million, subject to certain conditions. On March 25, 2025, we entered into an amendment of the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date to June 25, 2027. The payment and performance in full of the secured obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by a lien on and security interest in all of our assets.

The maximum borrowings permitted under the Revolving Facility is equal to the lesser of (x) the Revolving Commitment and (y) the applicable borrowing base, which is equal to (i) 90% of our eligible credit card receivables, plus (ii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible inventory, less certain inventory reserves, plus (iii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible in-transit inventory, less certain inventory reserves, less (iv) certain other reserves established by the Bank.

The unused portion of the Revolving Commitment accrues a commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.375% per annum, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility under the applicable fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum that ranges from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment (equal to 10 basis points for one- and three-month term SOFR) plus 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate (as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement) (the “Base Rate”) plus 0.50% to 1.00%, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility over the applicable fiscal quarter. We are allowed to elect to apply either SOFR or Base Rate interest to borrowings at our discretion, other than in the case of swing line loans, to which the Base Rate shall apply.

Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants customary in an asset-based lending facility, including a financial covenant relating to availability (which is required to remain above the greater of: (i) ten percent (10%) of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $6.0 million).

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts; covenant defaults; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; bankruptcy events; actual or asserted invalidity of any the Credit Agreement or related loan documents; or a change of control.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, we entered into certain ancillary agreements including (i) a security agreement in favor of the Bank, and (ii) a guarantee by us in favor of the Bank.

As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with all of our covenants, were eligible to borrow up to a total of $50.7 million and had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The only utilization of the letters of credit sub-limit under the Credit Agreement was a $1.7 million irrevocable standby letter of credit.

Contractual Obligations

As of May 2, 2026, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations as described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, some of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of May 2, 2026, there were no material changes in the market risks described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our Disclosure Committee, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 2, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 2, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Tillys is a destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls with an extensive assortment of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active, outdoor and social lifestyle. Tillys is headquartered in Irvine, California and operated 220 stores, in 32 states as of May 2, 2026. Our stores are located in malls, lifestyle centers, ‘power’ centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front locations. Customers may also shop online at www.tillys.com, where we feature the same assortment of products as carried in our brick-and-mortar stores, supplemented by additional online-only styles. Our goal is to serve as a destination for the latest, most relevant merchandise and brands important to our customers.

The Tillys concept began in 1982, when our co-founders, Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine, opened their first store in Orange County, California. Since 1984, the business has been conducted through World of Jeans & Tops, a California corporation, or “WOJT”, which operates under the name “Tillys”. In May 2011, Tilly’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of WOJT in preparation for an initial public offering. As part of the initial public offering in May 2012, WOJT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly's, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tilly's, Inc. and WOJT. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms "the Company", "we", "our", "us" and "Tillys" refer to Tilly's, Inc. and its subsidiary, WOJT.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to 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 GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen-week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2025").

Fiscal Periods

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 2026 refer to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. References to the fiscal quarters or first three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 refer to the thirteen week periods ended as of those dates, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns and taxes collected from our customers. For e-commerce ("e-com") net sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, our reserve for sales returns was $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. The customer liability balance was $8.0 million, $8.7 million and $8.8 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates, and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card "breakage"). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Revenue recognized from gift cards was $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the opening gift card balance was $8.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million was recognized as revenue during both of these periods.

We have a customer loyalty program where customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty member achieves a certain point level, the member earns an award that may be used towards the purchase of merchandise. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as deferred revenue and awards redeemed by the member for merchandise are recorded as an increase to net sales. Our loyalty program allows customers to redeem their awards instantly or build up to additional awards over time. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points expire 365 days after the customer's original purchase date. A liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of points earned and expected future redemptions. The deferred revenue for this program was $5.0 million, $4.6 million, and $4.6 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The value of points redeemed through our loyalty program was $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the thirteen-weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025,

the opening loyalty program balance was $4.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of which $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, were recognized as revenue during these periods.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over five to seven years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five years. Computer software is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements and the cost of acquiring leasehold rights are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals, replacements and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.

At May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, property and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

	May 2, 2026		January 31, 2026		May 3, 2025

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $2.3 million and $2.8 million for the thirteen-weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

Leases

We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms generally range up to 10 years in duration (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.

Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year, and we recognize a single lease cost, with such cost allocated over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. We do not record any leases with terms of 12 months or less as operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities, these are instead expensed as incurred. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of net sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of those specified net sales is probable.

Our operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs, utilities, and other maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with the lease payments for the purpose of calculating the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

We lease approximately 172,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (10 and 12 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, we incurred rent expense of $0.5 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index (the "LAARUCPI"), not to exceed 7%. The lease began on January 1, 2003 and terminates on December 31, 2027.

We lease approximately 26,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (11 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we incurred rent expense of $0.2 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually at the greater of 5% or the change in the LAARUCPI. The lease began on June 29, 2012 and terminates on June 30, 2032.

We lease approximately 81,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (17 Pasteur, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. We use this property as our e-com distribution center. During each of the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we incurred rent expense of $0.4 million related to this lease. The lease payment adjusts annually based upon the greater of 5% or the change in the LAARUCPI. The lease began on November 1, 2011 and terminates on October 31, 2031.

We sublease a portion of our office space, approximately 5,887 square feet, in the 17 Pasteur, Irvine, California facility to Tilly's Life Center ("TLC"), a related party and a charitable organization. During the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 we recorded sublease income of $25.8 thousand and $24.5 thousand, respectively, related to this lease. The lease term is for five years and terminates on January 31, 2027. Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease agreement and is recorded as an offset within the selling, general and administrative section in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The maturity of operating lease liabilities and sublease income as of May 2, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):

Weighted average remaining lease term (in years)	4.7 years	4.9 years
Weighted average interest rate (1)	7.68%	6.82%

(1) Since our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") at lease inception, or lease modification, in determining the present value of future minimum payments. In determining an appropriate IBR, our assumptions included the use of a consistent discount rate for a portfolio of leases entered into at varying dates, the full 10-year term of the lease, excluding any options, and the total minimum lease payments.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was (1.7)% of pre-tax loss, compared to 0.6% of pre-tax loss, for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. Both years' income tax rates include the continuing impact of a full, non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Asset-Backed Credit Agreement

Asset-Backed Credit Agreement

On April 27, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an asset-backed credit agreement and revolving line of credit note (the "Note" and, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Revolving Facility”) of up to $65.0 million (“Revolving Commitment”) consisting of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans, with a sub-limit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $10.0 million and a sub-limit for swing line loans of $7.5 million, which replaced our previous senior secured credit agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes an uncommitted accordion feature whereby we may increase the Revolving Commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed $12.5 million, subject to certain conditions. On March 25, 2025, we entered into an amendment of the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date to June 25, 2027. The payment and performance in full of the secured obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by a lien on and security interest in all of our assets.

The maximum borrowings permitted under the Revolving Facility is equal to the lesser of (x) the Revolving Commitment and (y) the applicable borrowing base, which is equal to (i) 90% of our eligible credit card receivables, plus (ii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible inventory, less certain inventory reserves, plus (iii) 90% of the cost of certain adjusted eligible in-transit inventory, less certain inventory reserves, less (iv) certain other reserves established by the Bank.

The unused portion of the Revolving Commitment accrues a commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.375% per annum, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility under the applicable fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum that ranges from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment (equal to 10 basis points for one- and three-month term SOFR) plus 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate (as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement) (the “Base Rate”) plus 0.50% to 1.00%, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility over the applicable fiscal quarter. We are allowed to elect to apply either SOFR or Base Rate interest to borrowings at our discretion, other than in the case of swing line loans, to which the Base Rate shall apply.

Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants customary in an asset-based lending facility, including a financial covenant relating to availability (which is required to remain above the greater of: (i) ten percent (10%) of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $6.0 million).

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts; covenant defaults; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; bankruptcy events; actual or asserted invalidity of any the Credit Agreement or related loan documents; or a change of control.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, we entered into certain ancillary agreements including (i) a security agreement in favor of the Bank, and (ii) a guarantee by us in favor of the Bank.

As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with all of our covenants, were eligible to borrow up to a total of $50.7 million and had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The only utilization of the letters of credit sub-limit under the Credit Agreement was a $1.7 million irrevocable standby letter of credit.

Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnifications, Commitments, and Guarantees

During the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments for certain transactions. These indemnifications include, but are not limited to, those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnifications to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The majority of these indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make, and their duration may be indefinite. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For some matters, we are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the occurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which we are a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against us will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, we were not engaged in

any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

We determine fair value based on a three-level valuation hierarchy as described below. Fair value is defined as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy of inputs used to determine fair value is as follows:

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

•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and 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 (i.e. projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including our marketable securities which are classified as available-for-sale securities, and certain cash equivalents, specifically money market securities, commercial paper, municipal bonds and certificates of deposits. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The available-for-sale marketable securities are valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third-party entities.

From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including evaluation of long-lived assets for impairments using Company-specific assumptions which would fall within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Fair value calculations contain significant judgments and estimates, which may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance.

As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, we did not have any Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

Financial Assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, we categorized our financial assets based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique for the instruments as follows (in thousands):

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

On at least a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets may not be recoverable. Based on Level 3 inputs of historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of our stores, we determine if a store would be able to generate sufficient undiscounted cash flows over the remaining term to recover our investment in long-lived and ROU assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of assets based on the discounted cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates the weighted average cost of capital plus a company-specific risk premium. Impairment losses are allocated between the long-lived assets and ROU assets on a relative carrying amount basis. The fair values of ROU assets are estimated by an independent third party and represent the highest and best use to a market participant. We determined that our stores would be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related leases to recover our investment or the ROU in the respective stores. As a result of this assessment, we recorded non-recurring, non-cash impairment charges of $1.0 million in the thirteen-weeks ended May 3, 2025, to write-down the carrying value of certain long-lived store assets and ROU assets to their estimated fair values. No impairment was recorded for the thirteen-weeks ended May 2, 2026.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The Tilly's, Inc. 2012 Third Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"), authorizes up to 8,613,900 shares for issuance of options, shares or rights to acquire our Class A common stock and allows for, among other things, operating income and comparable store sales growth targets as additional performance goals that may be used in connection with performance-based awards granted under the 2012 Plan. As of May 2, 2026, there were 366,290 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.

Stock Options

We grant stock options to certain employees that give them the right to acquire our Class A common stock under the 2012 Plan. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the closing price per share of our stock at the date of grant. The non-qualified options vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the award recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Performance-Based Stock Options

In fiscal year 2025, in conjunction with the hiring of our President and Chief Executive Officer, we granted 900,000 time-based stock options and 900,000 performance-based stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan. Vesting of these performance-based stock options is dependent upon the achievement of certain stock price targets based on the 30 consecutive trading day trailing average market closing price of the Company's stock.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 (aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):

	Stock Options	Grant Date Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Outstanding at January 31, 2026	4,125,458	$	4.64
Granted	496,000	$	4.20
Exercised	(14,750)	$	3.95
Forfeited	(72,500)	$	5.22
Expired	(2,875)	$	6.74
Outstanding at May 2, 2026	4,531,333	$	4.59	8.0	$	5,512
Exercisable at May 2, 2026	1,503,833	$	8.06	5.3	$	304

(1)Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the fiscal period and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal period. The market value per share was $4.40 at May 2, 2026.

The stock option awards were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and our expected annual dividend yield, if any. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We issue shares of Class A common stock when stock option awards are exercised.

The performance-based stock options were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Monte-Carlo valuation model. The Monte-Carlo valuation model uses multiple simulations to evaluate the probability of achieving various stock price levels in relation to the market condition. We expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved. Based on the Monte-Carlo valuation model, the total fair value as of the grant date of

performance-based stock options that vest based on market conditions was $1.2 million in fiscal year 2025. We did not award any performance-based stock options during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026.

The fair values of stock options and performance-based stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026			May 3, 2025
Weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted	$	2.57		$	1.20
Expected option term (1)	5.7 years			5.4 years
Weighted average expected volatility factor (2)	65.0		%	57.0		%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate (3)	4.0		%	4.0		%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)	—		%	—		%

(1)The expected option term of the awards represents the estimated time that options are expected to be outstanding based upon historical option data.

(2)Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the awards.

(3)The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.

(4)We do not currently have a dividend policy, and we do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock at this time.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") represent restricted shares issued upon the date of grant in which the recipient's rights in the stock are restricted until the shares are vested, whereas restricted stock units ("RSUs") represent shares issuable in the future upon vesting. Under the 2012 Plan, we grant RSAs to independent members of our Board of Directors and RSUs to certain employees. RSAs granted to Board members vest at a rate of 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective award recipient continues to serve on our Board of Directors through each of those vesting dates. The RSUs granted to certain employees vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates. We determine the fair value of restricted stock underlying the RSAs and RSUs based upon the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the status of non-vested restricted stock as of May 2, 2026, and the changes since January 31, 2026:

	Restricted Stock	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 31, 2026	358,462	$	1.56

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share

Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock (i.e., in-the-money outstanding stock options as well as RSAs) outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, unamortized compensation and hypothetical excess tax benefits, if any, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by us to purchase shares of common stock at the average market price during the period.

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Net loss	$	(7,953)	$	(22,152)

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

Tillys operates in one, consolidated operating and reportable segment, which is as a retailer of casual apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods (the "retail segment"). Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance, allocating resources and making operational decisions.

The retail segment derives revenues from our stores located in a variety of retail centers in the United States and via our website. We identified one reportable segment based on the similar nature of products sold, production, merchandising and distribution processes involved, target customers, and economic characteristics.

The CODM measures performance for the segment primarily based on operating (loss) income. The CODM uses operating (loss) income to evaluate operating performance and determine allocation of resources to seek to promote improved performance.

The measure of segment assets is reported as total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accounting policies of the retail segment are the same as those described in "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

Financial information, including segment revenue, significant expenses, and operating loss for the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tilly's, Inc. and WOJT. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms "the Company", "we", "our", "us" and "Tillys" refer to Tilly's, Inc. and its subsidiary, WOJT.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to 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 GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen-week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2025").

Fiscal Periods

Fiscal Periods

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 2026 refer to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. References to the fiscal quarters or first three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 refer to the thirteen week periods ended as of those dates, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns and taxes collected from our customers. For e-commerce ("e-com") net sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over five to seven years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five years. Computer software is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements and the cost of acquiring leasehold rights are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals, replacements and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.

Leases

Leases

We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms generally range up to 10 years in duration (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.

Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year, and we recognize a single lease cost, with such cost allocated over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. We do not record any leases with terms of 12 months or less as operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities, these are instead expensed as incurred. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of net sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of those specified net sales is probable.

Our operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs, utilities, and other maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with the lease payments for the purpose of calculating the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was (1.7)% of pre-tax loss, compared to 0.6% of pre-tax loss, for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. Both years' income tax rates include the continuing impact of a full, non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 requires entities to begin capitalizing internal-use software when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This new standard can be adopted using any of: (i) a prospective transition approach (ii) a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or (iii) a retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The update improves the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The market value per share was $4.40 at May 2, 2026.

Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of Stock Options Granted

The fair values of stock options and performance-based stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026			May 3, 2025
Weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted	$	2.57		$	1.20
Expected option term (1)	5.7 years			5.4 years
Weighted average expected volatility factor (2)	65.0		%	57.0		%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate (3)	4.0		%	4.0		%
Expected annual dividend yield (4)	—		%	—		%

(1)The expected option term of the awards represents the estimated time that options are expected to be outstanding based upon historical option data.

(2)Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the awards.

(3)The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.

(4)We do not currently have a dividend policy, and we do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock at this time.
