NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Victoria’s Secret & Co. (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a specialty retailer of women’s intimate and other apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me brand names. The Company has approximately 860 stores in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and China as well as its own websites, www.VictoriasSecret.com, www.PINK.com, www.AdoreMe.com and www.DailyLook.com, and other digital channels worldwide. Additionally, the Company has more than 560 stores in approximately 70 countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements. The Company also includes the merchandise sourcing and production function serving the Company and its international partners. The Company operates as a single segment designed to serve customers worldwide through stores and digital channels.
In the first quarter of 2026 and in fiscal year 2025, the Company implemented certain restructuring actions to continue to restructure its executive leadership team and organizational structure. For additional information, see Note 3, “Restructuring Activities.”
On May 21, 2026, subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2026, the Company announced that its common stock would begin trading under the new ticker symbol VSXY on the New York Stock Exchange when markets opened on June 2, 2026.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “first quarter of 2026” and “first quarter of 2025” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively, and “fiscal year 2026” and “fiscal year 2025” refer to the fifty-two-week period ending January 30, 2027 and the fifty-two-week period ended January 31, 2026, respectively.
Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has a joint venture to operate Victoria’s Secret stores and the related online business in China (“China Joint Venture”). The Company owns 51% and has control over the joint venture, thus, the joint venture’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2026 (“2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
Seasonality of Business
Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the thirteen-week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending January 30, 2027.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee’s net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and the Company’s share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.
7

Table of Contents
The carrying values of equity method investments were $54 million as of May 2, 2026, $53 million as of January 31, 2026 and $44 million as of May 3, 2025. These investments are recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities’ assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests in the China Joint Venture that is not owned by the Company. In the first quarter of 2026, the China Joint Venture distributed $15 million in cash, of which $8 million was distributed to the Company and $7 million was distributed to the noncontrolling interest partner. The distribution to the noncontrolling interest partner represents the 49% of the China Joint Venture not owned by the Company and is classified as a financing cash outflow in the 2026 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of May 2, 2026, the Company’s investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits.
The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.
Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has agreements with designated third-party financial institutions to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates and receive a discounted payment from participating financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. All amounts payable to financial institutions relating to suppliers participating in these programs are recorded in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $137 million as of May 2, 2026, $237 million as of January 31, 2026 and $154 million as of May 3, 2025.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the first quarter of 2026 that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.

Table of Contents
Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs, primarily by removing references to project stages from capitalization criteria and further clarifying the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. This standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable, net from revenue-generating activities were $141 million as of May 2, 2026, $137 million as of January 31, 2026 and $120 million as of May 3, 2025. Accounts receivable primarily relate to amounts due from the Company’s franchise, license and wholesale partners. Under these arrangements, payment terms are typically 60 to 90 days.
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of transfer of control of goods or services. Deferred revenue primarily relates to gift cards, loyalty and credit card programs and direct channel shipments, which are all impacted by seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Deferred revenue was $226 million as of May 2, 2026, $257 million as of January 31, 2026 and $254 million as of May 3, 2025. The Company recognized $73 million as revenue in the first quarter of 2026 from amounts recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the fiscal year. As of May 2, 2026, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $218 million within Accrued Expenses and Other, and $8 million within Other Long-term Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

For the first quarter of 2025, shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, performance share units and options were excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share as a result of the Company’s net loss for the period.
Shareholders’ Equity
March 2024 Share Repurchase Program
In March 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a share repurchase program (“March 2024 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company’s common stock, subject to market conditions and other factors, through open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The March 2024 Share Repurchase Program is open-ended in term and will continue until exhausted.
The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the first quarter of 2026:

Cash paid for interest was $6 million and $8 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Issuance of 2029 Notes
In July 2021, the Company issued $600 million of 4.625% notes due in July 2029 in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the 2029 Notes is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The issuance costs are being amortized through the maturity date and are included within Long-term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Credit Facilities
The Company has a senior secured term loan B credit facility with an original principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. The discounts and issuance costs from the Term Loan Facility are being amortized through the maturity date and are included within Long-term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. The Company made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025.
Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable interest rate (i) in the case of loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR, equal to 2.75% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 1.75%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of May 2, 2026, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 6.42%.
The Company also has a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, which will mature on the earlier of (a) May 2030 and (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of certain outstanding material indebtedness with a principal balance exceeding $50 million to the extent that certain availability and financial covenant thresholds are not met on such date. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company’s eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million.
12

Table of Contents
Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to Term SOFR or Term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“Term CORRA”) or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR or Term CORRA, ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans, ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%.
Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by the Company’s eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.
The Company borrowed $55 million and $160 million from the ABL Facility during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and made repayments of $40 million and $55 million under the ABL Facility during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of May 2, 2026, there were borrowings of $15 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 7.15%. The Company had $17 million of outstanding letters of credit as of May 2, 2026 that further reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of May 2, 2026, the Company’s remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $685 million.
The Company’s long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of May 2, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its long-term debt and borrowing facilities.
10. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has Euro-denominated sales to customers and partners in the European Union which are fulfilled by the Company’s distribution center in Europe and subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all the merchandise sold is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges (“Designated Cash Flow Hedges”) to mitigate this foreign currency exposure. These forward contracts currently have a maximum term of 12 months. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
All Designated Cash Flow Hedges are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and changes in fair value of the Designated Cash Flow Hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The gains and losses for these Designated Cash Flow Hedges are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) upon sale of the hedged merchandise to the customer. The Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid upon the settlement of a Designated Cash Flow Hedge in the same manner as the related hedged merchandise, which is in Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As of May 2, 2026, outstanding Designated Cash Flow Hedges are recorded at their fair value of $1 million in Other Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and had a U.S. dollar notional amount of $47 million. In the first quarter of 2026, a pre-tax gain of $1 million was recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to Designated Cash Flow Hedges. Prior to the first quarter of 2026, the Company did not have any Designated Cash Flow Hedges since becoming an independent, publicly traded company.
The Company estimates that $1 million of net pre-tax gains included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as of May 2, 2026 related to Designated Cash Flow Hedges will be reclassified to Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) within the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified depend on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In April 2023, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Victoria’s Secret Stores employs manual workers in New York state and failed to pay hourly wages within seven calendar days after the end of the week in which those wages were earned, rather paying wages on a bi-weekly basis. The lawsuit has been settled and during the first quarter of 2026, the Company paid the settlement in full.
14. Segment Information
The Company’s segments are based on the financial information the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer, uses to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company has one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance of the Company’s single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Victoria’s Secret & Co. as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The following table provides the Company’s segment information for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025:

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1. Financial Statements. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” mean Victoria’s Secret & Co. together with its subsidiaries.
Our operating results are generally impacted by economic changes. Accordingly, we monitor the retail environment using certain key industry performance indicators including competitor performance and mall traffic data. These metrics can provide insight into consumer spending patterns and shopping behavior in the current retail environment and assist us in assessing our performance as well as the potential impact of industry trends on our future operating results. Additionally, we evaluate a number of key performance indicators including comparable sales, gross profit, operating income and other performance metrics such as sales per average selling square foot in assessing our performance. To evaluate our net sales, we utilize traffic, conversion (which we define as the percentage of customers who visit our stores or digital sites and make a purchase), units per transaction, average unit retail (which we define as the average price per unit purchased) and average transaction value (which we define as units per transaction multiplied by average unit retail).
Executive Overview
Victoria’s Secret & Co. operates two market-leading intimate apparel brands, Victoria’s Secret and PINK, complemented by an industry-leading beauty business, and Adore Me:
Victoria’s Secret – A sexy, glamorous and luxurious brand and global leader in women’s intimate apparel, renowned for its innovative, fashion-inspired collections for women around the world.
PINK – A playful, bold and irreverent lifestyle intimates and apparel brand for young women.
Adore Me – A direct-to-consumer lingerie and apparel brand focused on serving women across all budgets and phases of life. DailyLook, acquired through the Adore Me transaction, operates as a digitally-based, premium subscription styling service for women’s apparel and accessories.
Our merchandise is available in our company-operated retail stores across the U.S., Canada and China, through our company-owned digital channels, and internationally through stores, websites and mobile applications operated by our partners. With a presence in approximately 70 countries, we benefit from strong global brand recognition, a compelling product assortment and a deep, lasting connection with our customers.
We are dedicated to continuous growth and operational excellence, focusing on execution of our strategic plan to drive long-term, sustainable value for our stockholders.
Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 increased 15%, to $1.560 billion, compared to the first quarter of 2025. In North America, net sales increased 11% in the stores channel and increased 8% in the direct channel compared to the first quarter of 2025. Traffic and average unit retail increased in our stores and direct channels compared to the first quarter of 2025. Net sales in our international channel increased 45% compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Our operating income in the first quarter of 2026 increased $56 million, to $76 million, compared to the first quarter of 2025 and our operating income rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 4.9% from 1.5% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in operating income compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in net sales and improved merchandise margins.

Table of Contents
We continue to focus on the key priorities of our Path to Potential growth plan: Supercharge our Bra Authority; Recommit to PINK; Fuel Growth in Beauty; and Evolve Our Brand Projection and Go-To-Market Strategy. We remain focused on managing costs, while continuing to invest in product innovation, brand strength and the customer experience. Together with the solid operational foundation we have built, we believe these efforts position us to scale effectively and give us confidence in our ability to drive sustainable long‑term value for our stockholders.
For additional information related to our first quarter of 2026 financial performance, see “Results of Operations.”
Tariffs and Macro Environment
Beginning in February 2025, the U.S. administration imposed tariffs on a broad range of imported goods under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were not authorized, and on March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund amounts previously collected, including applicable interest. The CBP has established a phased administrative process for submitting refund claims for certain IEEPA tariffs. We are in the process of requesting refunds for the IEEPA tariffs paid, however, the amount and timing of recoveries remain uncertain. As a result, as of May 2, 2026, we did not record a receivable related to potential IEEPA tariff refunds.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision relating to the IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. administration announced a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, subject to certain exceptions. We estimate tariffs, net of mitigation efforts, negatively impacted operating income by approximately $85 million in fiscal year 2025. We estimate tariffs, net of mitigation efforts, negatively impacted operating income by an incremental approximately $14 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. It is unclear at this time what impact these decisions will have on our future results of operations, including the amount of refunds for the IEEPA tariffs previously paid, any changes in tariff levels or the imposition of new tariffs through other means. We continue to identify and execute mitigation strategies as the tariff environment evolves.
Proxy Contest
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2026, BBRC and its Chairman Brett Blundy initiated a proxy contest seeking to withhold votes against directors nominated for re-election at our upcoming 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We expect to incur additional professional and legal fees associated with the proxy contest in the second quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP above and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provided below are non-GAAP financial measures that present operating income, net income (loss) attributable to Victoria’s Secret & Co. and net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to Victoria’s Secret & Co. on an adjusted basis, which remove certain non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items that we believe are not indicative of the results of our ongoing operations due to their size and nature. The intangible asset amortization excluded in the first quarter of 2025 from these non-GAAP financial measures is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures of our results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure.

First Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
Operating Income
For the first quarter of 2026, our operating income increased $56 million, to $76 million, compared to operating income of $20 million in the first quarter of 2025, and the operating income rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 4.9% from 1.5%. The drivers of our operating income results are discussed in the following sections.

The following table compares the first quarter of 2026 comparable sales to the first quarter of 2025:
20262025
Comparable Sales (Stores and Direct) (a)13%(1%)
Comparable Store Sales (a)10%(1%)
_______________
(a)The percentage change in comparable sales represents comparable store and direct sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Individual stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more and direct channels are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for 24 consecutive hours or more. Upon re-opening, the stores and direct channels are included in the calculation. Additionally, stores are excluded if total selling square footage in the mall changes by 20% or more through the opening or closing of a second store. The percentage change in comparable sales is calculated on a comparable calendar period as opposed to a fiscal basis. Comparable sales attributable to our international stores are calculated on a constant currency basis.
Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 increased $207 million, or 15%, to $1.560 billion compared to $1.353 billion in the first quarter of 2025.
In the stores channel, our North America net sales increased $82 million, or 11%, to $803 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 driven by increases in traffic and average unit retail, while units per transaction and conversion remained flat.
In the direct channel, net sales increased $36 million, or 8%, to $469 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 as increases in traffic and average unit retail were partially offset by decreases in conversion and units per order.
In the international channel, net sales increased $89 million, or 45%, to $288 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net sales in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by increases in net sales in China, sourcing sales to our partners, our wholesale arrangements and royalties earned associated with franchise sales in many countries outside of North America.
Net sales in the direct and international channels in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 were also impacted by a $17 million shift in the reporting of net sales to the international channel due to a change of fulfillment location whereby direct sales to customers in the European Union are now fulfilled by our distribution center in Europe as opposed to our distribution center in the Columbus, Ohio area.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net sales from the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026:

 _______________
(a)Results include net sales for all direct channels operated by the Company (in North America and International) and the direct sales in China operated by our consolidated joint venture.
Gross Profit
For the first quarter of 2026, our gross profit increased $111 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 to $585 million, and our gross profit rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 37.5% from 35.1%.
The increase in gross profit dollars compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due to the increase in merchandise margin dollars which was driven by an increase in net sales, a decrease in promotional activity and an increase in regular-priced selling, partially offset by a $14 million increase in net tariff costs. The increase in gross profit dollars was also partially offset by an increase in buying and occupancy expenses primarily driven by increases in incentive compensation expenses associated with our improved results and fulfillment costs associated with our net sales increase.

Table of Contents
The gross profit rate increase compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by leverage in buying and occupancy expenses as a result of the increase in net sales, a decrease in promotional activity and an increase in regular-priced selling, partially offset by an increase in net tariff costs.

For the first quarter of 2026, our general, administrative and store operating expenses increased $55 million, or 12%, to $509 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in general, administrative and store operating expenses compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to increases in store selling expenses, incentive compensation expenses associated with our improved results and marketing expenses.
The general, administrative and store operating expense rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) decreased to 32.6% from 33.6% compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to leverage as a result of the increase in net sales.
Interest Expense
For the first quarter of 2026, our interest expense decreased $2 million to $15 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to our lower average outstanding debt under our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility and lower average borrowing rate for our Term Loan Facility.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2026, our effective tax rate was 11.7% compared to 50.9% in the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2026 rate differed from our combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation awards that vested in the period. The first quarter of 2025 rate differed from our combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to additional tax expense from share-based compensation awards that vested in the period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. We are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. Cash generated from our operating activities provides the primary resources to support current operations, growth initiatives, seasonal funding requirements and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities is impacted by our net income (loss) and working capital changes. Our net income (loss) is impacted by, among other things, sales volume, seasonal sales patterns, success of new product introductions, profit margins and income taxes. Historically, sales are higher during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Generally, our need for working capital peaks during the summer and fall months as inventory builds in anticipation of the holiday season.
Our ability to fund our operating needs is primarily dependent upon our ability to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations, as well as borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, which we rely on to supplement cash generated by our operating activities, particularly when our need for working capital peaks in the summer and fall months as discussed above. Management believes that our cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, along with the borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of our current and long-term obligations when due, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures, and (iii) flexibility to consider investment opportunities that may arise. However, certain investment opportunities or seasonal funding requirements may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future.
We expect to utilize our cash flows to continue to invest in our brands, talent, capabilities and growth strategies as well as to repay our indebtedness over time. We believe that our available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash flow requirements over the next 12 months.
Working Capital and Capitalization
Based upon our cash balances and cash provided by our operating activities, along with the borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, we believe we will be able to continue to meet our working capital needs.

Effects of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents(2)
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents(311)(89)
Cash and Cash Equivalents, End of Period$207 $138 
Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities reflects net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and deferred tax expense, as well as changes in working capital. Net cash used for operating activities in the first quarter of 2026 was $137 million, a decrease in net cash flows used for operating activities of $13 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in net cash flows used for operating activities in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by an increase in net income of $54 million, net of the non-cash items noted above, partially offset by higher net operating cash outflows associated with working capital changes of $38 million. The most significant working capital driver resulting in the increase in net operating cash outflows in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 is related to the timing of payments for the increase in inventory levels. The increase in inventory levels is primarily related to continued growth in the international channel and our European distribution center, as well as increased average unit costs driven by tariffs.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities in the first quarter of 2026 was $54 million, consisting solely of capital expenditures. The capital expenditures were primarily related to our store capital program and the customer experience, along with investments in technology and logistics to support our strategic initiatives to drive growth and operating efficiencies.

Table of Contents
Net cash used for investing activities in the first quarter of 2025 was $43 million, consisting solely of capital expenditures. The capital expenditures were primarily related to our store capital program and investments in technology and logistics related to our strategic initiatives to drive growth and support productivity.
We estimate capital expenditures in the range of $220 million to $240 million in fiscal year 2026. We expect that our capital expenditures will be focused on investing in our store capital program and the customer experience, along with investments in technology and logistics to support our strategic initiatives to drive growth and operating efficiencies.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2026 was $121 million, consisting primarily of $100 million of share repurchases, $40 million of repayments under the ABL Facility and $28 million of payments for taxes on share-based compensation awards issued, partially offset by borrowings of $55 million under the ABL Facility.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2025 was $106 million, consisting primarily of borrowings of $160 million under the ABL Facility, partially offset by $55 million of repayments under the ABL Facility.
Common Stock Share Repurchases
Our Board determines share repurchase authorizations, giving consideration to our levels of profit and cash flows, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, and restrictions placed upon us by our borrowing arrangements, as well as financial and other conditions existing at the time. We use cash flows generated from operating activities to fund any share repurchases. Once authorized by our Board, the timing and amount of any share repurchases are made at our discretion, taking into account a number of factors, including market conditions.
In March 2024, our Board approved the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock, subject to market conditions and other factors, through open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The March 2024 Share Repurchase Program is open-ended in term and will continue until exhausted.
We repurchased the following shares of our common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the first quarter of 2026:
Amount AuthorizedShares RepurchasedAmount RepurchasedAverage Stock Price
(in millions)(in thousands)(in millions)
March 2024 Share Repurchase Program$250 2,208 $100 $45.27 
Shares repurchased under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program were retired upon repurchase. As a result, in the first quarter of 2026 we retired 2.2 million shares repurchased under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program, which resulted in reductions of less than $1 million in the par value of Common Stock, $9 million in Paid-in Capital and $91 million in Retained Earnings.
As of May 2, 2026, we were authorized to repurchase up to $150 million of our common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
Dividend Policy and Procedures
We have not paid any cash dividends since becoming an independent, publicly traded company. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if and when we commence paying dividends. The declaration and amount of any dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with our debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and any other factors the Board deems relevant. We would use cash flow generated from operating and financing activities to fund our dividends.

Cash paid for interest was $6 million and $8 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Issuance of 2029 Notes
In July 2021, we issued $600 million of 4.625% notes due in July 2029 in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the 2029 Notes is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The issuance costs are being amortized through the maturity date and are included within Long-term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Credit Facilities
We have a senior secured term loan B credit facility with an original principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. The discounts and issuance costs from the Term Loan Facility are being amortized through the maturity date and are included within Long-term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. We made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025.
Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to Term SOFR or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable interest rate (i) in the case of loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR, equal to 2.75% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 1.75%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of ours and our subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of May 2, 2026, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 6.42%.
We also have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, which will mature on the earlier of (a) May 2030 and (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of certain outstanding material indebtedness with a principal balance exceeding $50 million to the extent that certain availability and financial covenant thresholds are not met on such date. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on our eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million.
Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to Term SOFR or Term CORRA or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR or Term CORRA, ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans, ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%.

Table of Contents
Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by our eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of ours, subject to customary exceptions.
We borrowed $55 million and $160 million from the ABL Facility during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and made repayments of $40 million and $55 million under the ABL Facility during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of May 2, 2026, there were borrowings of $15 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 7.15%. We had $17 million of outstanding letters of credit as of May 2, 2026 that further reduced our availability under the ABL Facility. As of May 2, 2026, our remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $685 million.
Our long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to EBITDAR ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under our long-term debt and borrowing facilities.

OutlookStableStable
Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and the related interest payments, operating leases, purchase orders for merchandise inventory and other long-term obligations. These contractual obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Except with respect to the additional $15 million of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility as of May 2, 2026, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since January 31, 2026, as discussed in “Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of our contractual obligations may fluctuate during the normal course of business (primarily changes in our merchandise inventory-related purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our operations).
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the first quarter of 2026 that had a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs, primarily by removing references to project stages from capitalization criteria and further clarifying the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. This standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impacts of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, claims and contingencies, income taxes and revenue recognition. Management bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. We may use derivative financial instruments like foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swap arrangements to manage exposure to market risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
We have operations and investments in foreign countries which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our Canadian dollar, Chinese Yuan and Euro denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all our merchandise sold in Canada and Europe and a portion of our merchandise sold in China is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. Although we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to partially offset risks associated with our operations in Europe, these measures may not succeed in offsetting all the short-term impact of foreign currency rate movements and generally may not be effective in offsetting the long-term impact of sustained shifts in foreign currency rates.
Further, although our royalty arrangements with our international partners are denominated in U.S. dollars, the royalties we receive in U.S. dollars are calculated based on sales in the local currency. As a result, our royalties in these arrangements are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our investment portfolio primarily consists of interest-bearing instruments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents based on their original maturities. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy, which specifies permitted types of investments, credit quality standards and maturity profiles and limits credit exposure to any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal, the maintenance of liquidity and the maximization of interest income while minimizing risk. As of May 2, 2026, our investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits. Given the short-term nature and quality of investments in our portfolio, we do not believe there is any material risk to principal associated with increases or decreases in interest rates.
Our outstanding long-term debt as of May 2, 2026 consists of the 2029 Notes, which have a fixed interest rate, the $382 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, which has a variable interest rate based on Term SOFR, and the $15 million in outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, which has a variable interest rate based on Term SOFR. Our exposure to interest rate changes is limited to the fair value of the debt outstanding as well as the interest we pay on the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, which we believe would not have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows.

The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.
As of May 2, 2026, we believe that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity. We further believe the principal value of the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility approximates its fair value as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025 based on the terms of the borrowings from the ABL Facility.

The estimated fair values of the Designated Cash Flow Hedges were determined using the market approach, which utilizes observable market inputs, including spot and forward currency exchange rates. These are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. We monitor the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom we transact and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of May 2, 2026, our investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits. We also periodically review the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business.
Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial and Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial and Operating Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial and Operating Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in a variety of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against us from time to time may include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits.
