NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.

Note 2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements, except as noted below, and believes there is no accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The update requires increased transparency in tax disclosures, specifically by expanding requirements for rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its income tax disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The update requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in the update require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity (i) disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption; (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Note 3. Business Segments

The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”).

For the Company’s retail operations segment, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes because stores are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its retail operations segment would not provide meaningful additional information.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of Dillard’s Chief Executive Officer and its President. The members of Dillard’s Executive Committee use their experience in the retail industry and extensive and specific knowledge of the Dillard’s businesses when assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Various legal proceedings, in the form of lawsuits and claims, which occur in the normal course of business, are pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, disposition of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to materially affect the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

At August 2, 2025, letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the Company’s revolving credit facility. See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement, for additional information.

Note 6. Benefit Plans

The Company has an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan (“Pension Plan”) for its officers. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation during employment. Pension expense is determined using an actuarial cost method to estimate the total benefits ultimately payable to officers and allocates this cost to service periods. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually. The Company contributed $2.1 million and $4.3 million to the Pension Plan during the three and six months ended August 2, 2025, respectively, and expects to make additional contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $4.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2025.

The components of net periodic benefit costs are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	August 2,		August 3,		August 2,		August 3,

Net periodic benefit costs	$	6,473	$	7,746	$	12,947	$	15,493

The service cost component of net periodic benefit costs is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and the interest costs and net actuarial loss components are included in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Note 7. Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company maintains a credit facility (“credit agreement”) for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The credit agreement, which is secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries, provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option.

In March 2025, the Company amended and extended the credit agreement (the "2025 amendment"), replacing the Company’s previous amended credit agreement. The 2025 amendment continues to have the 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment to the interest rate for term benchmark and RFR loans but reduced the applicable rate to (A) (x) 1.25% per annum in the case of term benchmark and RFR loans and (y) 0.25% per annum in the case of base rate loans when average quarterly availability is greater than or equal to 50% of the total commitments and (B) (x) 1.50% per annum in the case of term benchmark and RFR loans and (y) 0.50% per annum in the case of base rate loans when average quarterly availability is less than 50% of the total commitments. The 2025 amendment reduced the unused commitment fee to (A) 0.25% per annum when the average amount utilized is less than 50% of the total commitments and (B) 0.20% per annum when the average amount utilized is greater than or equal to 50% of the total commitments. The facility was arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. As long as availability exceeds $80 million and certain events of default have

14

not occurred and are not continuing, there are no financial covenant requirements under the credit agreement. The credit agreement, as amended by the 2025 amendment, matures on March 12, 2030.

At August 2, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of $774.7 million.

Note 8. Stock Repurchase Programs

In May 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its Class A Common Stock (“May 2023 Stock Plan”). The May 2023 Stock Plan permits the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock in the open market, pursuant to preset trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or through privately negotiated transactions. The May 2023 Stock Plan has no expiration date.

The following is a summary of share repurchase activity for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	August 2,		August 3,		August 2,		August 3,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Cost of shares repurchased	$	9,755	$	—	$	107,752	$	—
Number of shares repurchased		24		—		300		—
Average price per share	$	398.67	$	—	$	359.16	$	—

All repurchases of the Company’s Class A Common Stock above were made at the market price at the trade date, and all amounts paid to reacquire these shares were allocated to treasury stock. As of August 2, 2025, $165.2 million of authorization remained under the May 2023 Stock Plan.

Note 9. Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state and local income taxes.

Note 10. Fair Value Disclosures

The estimated fair values of financial instruments presented herein have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and subordinated debentures are based on market prices and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable approximates their carrying values at August 2, 2025 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company’s short-term investments are recorded at amortized cost, which is consistent with the Company’s held-to-maturity classification. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at August 2, 2025 was approximately $335.3 million. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current portion, at August 2, 2025 was approximately $321.6 million. The fair value of the Company’s subordinated debentures at August 2, 2025 was approximately $208.2 million. The carrying value of the Company’s subordinated debentures at August 2, 2025 was $200 million.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Management was encouraged to report a sales increase for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 as well as by strengthening sales trends in July. The Company noted its focus on inventory control in a rapidly changing operating environment during the quarter.

Compared to the prior year second quarter, total retail sales (which exclude construction sales) increased 1% and sales in comparable stores increased 1%. Retail gross margin was 38.1% of sales compared to 39.1%. Inventory increased 2% at August 2, 2025 compared to August 3, 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 2, 2025 increased $0.5 million to $434.2 million (28.7% of sales) from $433.7 million (29.1% of sales) for the prior year second quarter as savings in payroll expense was offset by increases in various other expense categories.

For the three months ended August 2, 2025, the Company reported net income of $72.8 million ($4.66 per share) compared to net income of $74.5 million ($4.59 per share) for the three months ended August 3, 2024. Included in net income for the three months ended August 2, 2025, is a pretax gain of $4.8 million ($3.7 million after tax or $0.24 per share) primarily related to the sale of three properties.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $319.4 million for the six months ended August 2, 2025 compared to $176.0 million for the prior year six-month period, with the increase primarily due to changes in income taxes payable following a federal disaster declaration which allowed the postponement of certain income tax payments.

As of August 2, 2025, the Company had working capital of $1.613 billion (including cash and cash equivalents of $1.012 billion and short-term investments of $199.8 million) and $521.6 million of total debt outstanding, including one scheduled debt maturity of $96.0 million due July 2026, $225.6 million of long-term debt and $200.0 million of subordinated debentures.

The Company operated 272 Dillard’s stores, including 28 clearance centers, and an internet store as of August 2, 2025.

General

Net sales. Net sales includes merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (“CDI”), the Company’s general contracting construction company. Comparable store sales includes sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the most recently completed quarter and the corresponding quarter for the prior fiscal year, including our internet store. Comparable store sales excludes changes in the allowance for sales returns. Non-comparable store sales includes: sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.

Sales occur as a result of interaction with customers across multiple points of contact, creating an interdependence between in-store and online sales. Online orders are fulfilled from both fulfillment centers and retail stores. Additionally, online customers have the ability to buy online and pick up in-store. Retail in-store customers have the ability to purchase items that may be ordered and fulfilled from either a fulfillment center or another retail store location. Online customers may return orders via mail, or customers may return orders placed online to retail store locations. Customers who earn reward points under the private label credit card program may earn and redeem rewards through in-store or online purchases.

Service charges and other income. Service charges and other income includes income generated through the Company’s private label credit card portfolio alliances. These alliances include the former marketing and servicing alliance with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Alliance”), which terminated in September 2024, and the Company’s new long-term marketing and servicing alliance with Citibank, N.A (“Citibank Alliance”), which replaced the Wells Fargo Alliance upon its termination. Other income includes rental income, shipping and handling fees and gift card breakage.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise sold (net of purchase discounts, non-specific margin maintenance allowances and merchandise margin maintenance allowances), bankcard fees, freight to the distribution centers, employee and promotional discounts, shipping to customers and direct payroll for salon personnel. Cost of sales also includes CDI contract costs, which comprise all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, employee benefits and insurance program costs.

17

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include buying, occupancy, selling, distribution, warehousing, store and corporate expenses (including payroll and employee benefits), insurance, employment taxes, advertising, management information systems, legal and other corporate level expenses. Buying expenses consist of payroll, employee benefits and travel for design, buying and merchandising personnel.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization on property and equipment.

Rentals. Rentals includes expenses for store leases, including contingent rent, data processing and other equipment rentals and office space leases.

Interest and debt (income) expense, net. Interest and debt (income) expense includes interest, net of interest income from demand deposits and short-term investments and capitalized interest, relating to the Company’s unsecured notes, subordinated debentures and commitment fees and borrowings, if any, under the Company’s credit agreement. Interest and debt expense also includes the amortization of financing costs and interest on finance lease obligations, if any.

Other expense. Other expense includes the interest cost and net actuarial loss components of net periodic benefit costs related to the Company’s unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan and charges related to the write off of certain deferred financing fees in connection with the amendment and extension of the Company's secured revolving credit facility, if any.

Gain on disposal of assets. Gain on disposal of assets includes the net gain or loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, as well as gains from insurance proceeds in excess of the cost basis of insured assets, if any.

Seasonality

Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Service charges and other income includes the income from the Citibank Alliance and former Wells Fargo Alliance. Income from the alliances decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended August 2, 2025 compared to August 3, 2024, primarily from decreases in finance charges and late fees mainly resulting from lower average net receivables. Income from the alliances decreased $7.2 million for the six months ended August 2, 2025 compared to August 3, 2024, primarily from (a) decreases in finance charges and late fees mainly resulting from lower average net receivables and (b) increases in credit losses.

While future cash flows under the Citibank Alliance are difficult to predict, the Company expects income from this new alliance to initially be less than historical earnings from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Gross margin was essentially unchanged in all other product categories.

Total inventory increased 2% at August 2, 2025 compared to August 3, 2024. A 1% change in the dollar amount of markdowns would have impacted net income by approximately $2 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2025, respectively.

The Company is closely monitoring inflation and potential trade restrictions, including tariffs, which pose a risk to our operations. The extent of the impact on the Company's financial performance will depend on the effectiveness of our ongoing initiatives to manage these fluctuating costs.

Net interest and debt income decreased $2.5 million and $5.2 million during the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended August 3, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in interest income.

During the three months ended August 2, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $6.0 million primarily from the sale of three properties, resulting in a gain of $4.8 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.

Income Taxes

The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.0% and 23.3% for the three months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.2% and 23.3% for the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. During the three and six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state and local income taxes.

The Company expects the fiscal 2025 federal and state effective income tax rate to approximate 23%. This rate may change if results of operations for fiscal 2025 differ from management’s current expectations. Changes in the Company’s assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21) was signed into law. Notable provisions include restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, full expensing of domestic research expenditures, and modifications to interest expense limitations and charitable contribution deduction thresholds. Accounting Standards Codification §740, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires recognition of the effects of changes in tax law during the period of enactment. The effects of these provisions did not have, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

A summary of net cash flows for the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 follows:

	Six Months Ended
	August 2,		August 3,
(in thousands of dollars)	2025		2024		$ Change
Operating activities	$	319,393	$	175,957	$	143,436
Investing activities		93,746		(29,403)		123,149
Financing activities		(118,982)		(8,113)		(110,869)
Total Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	294,157	$	138,441	$	155,716

Net cash flows from operations increased $143.4 million during the six months ended August 2, 2025 compared to the six months ended August 3, 2024. This increase was primarily due to changes in working capital items, notably changes in income taxes payable. Following the disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency related to the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began on April 2, 2025 in the state of Arkansas, the Internal Revenue Service was permitted to and did postpone certain tax-filing and tax-payment deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. As a result, the Company’s tax payment deadline was extended to November 3, 2025.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) previously owned and managed Dillard’s private label credit cards, including credit cards co-branded with American Express under the Wells Fargo Alliance. In January 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a new agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) to provide the private label credit card program for Dillard’s customers under the Citibank Alliance, replacing the existing credit card program under the Wells Fargo Alliance upon its termination in September 2024. The new program launched on August 19, 2024 for new Dillard’s credit applicants. Existing accounts transferred from Wells Fargo to Citi on September 16, 2024. The term of

25

the new Citi agreement is 10 years with automatic extensions for successive two-year terms unless the agreement is terminated by either party in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Under the Citibank Alliance, Citi establishes, owns and manages Dillard’s private label credit cards, including the new co-branded Mastercard Incorporated card (“Mastercard,” collectively, the “private label cards”). The new co-branded Mastercard replaced the previous co-branded card. Citi retains the benefits and risks associated with the ownership of the private label card accounts, provides key customer service functions, including new account openings, transaction authorization, billing adjustments and customer inquiries, receives the finance charge income and incurs the bad debts associated with those accounts.

Pursuant to the Citibank Alliance, we receive on-going cash compensation from Citi based upon the portfolio’s earnings. The compensation received from the portfolio is determined monthly and has no recourse provisions. The Company recognized income of $17.2 million and $24.4 million from the Citibank Alliance and the former Wells Fargo Alliance during the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively.

While future cash flows under the new program are difficult to predict, the Company expects cash flows from the new program to initially be less than historical cash flows from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any material decrease could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

Capital expenditures were $43.5 million and $61.1 million for the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. The capital expenditures were primarily related to equipment purchases, the continued construction of new stores and the remodeling of existing stores. During the six months ended August 3, 2024, the Company opened a new location at The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (140,000 square feet) marking its 30th state of operation.

We remain committed to closing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to such stores when they close.

During the six months ended August 2, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $6.0 million primarily from the sale of three properties, resulting in a gain of $4.9 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.

During the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the Company purchased certain treasury bills for $273.5 million and $319.5 million, respectively, that are classified as short-term investments. During the six months ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $405.0 million and $350.9 million, respectively, related to maturities of these short-term investments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.012 billion as of August 2, 2025. The Company maintains a credit facility (“credit agreement”) for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The credit agreement is secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries and provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option.

In March 2025, the Company amended the credit agreement (the “2025 amendment”). See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional information. During the six months ended August 2, 2025, the Company paid $3.3 million in issuance costs related to the 2025 amendment, which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At August 2, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the credit agreement leaving unutilized availability of $774.7 million.

During the six months ended August 2, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $359.16 per share for $107.8 million under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. During the six months ended August 3, 2024, no share repurchases were made under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. As of August 2, 2025, $165.2 million of authorization remained under the Company’s open stock repurchase plan. The

26

ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined. See Note 8, Stock Repurchase Programs, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional information. During the six months ended August 2, 2025, the Company also accrued $1.1 million of excise tax related to its share repurchase program as an additional cost of treasury shares.

The Company expects to finance its operations in the short-term and long-term from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and, if necessary, utilization of the credit facility. Depending upon our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, the Company will from time to time consider other possible financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to fund working capital or for other corporate purposes.

There have been no material changes in the information set forth under the caption “Commercial Commitments” in Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose entities or off-balance-sheet arrangements for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating the Company’s business. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements or relationships that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or the availability of capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicates those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2025. As of August 2, 2025, there have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates.
