Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management of Destination XL Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, referred to as the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2023.

The information set forth in these statements may be subject to normal year-end adjustments. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s business historically has been seasonal in nature, and the results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53- week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2023 is a 53-week period ending on February 3, 2024 and fiscal 2022 was a 52-week period which ended on January 28, 2023.

Segment Information

The Company has two principal operating segments: its stores and its direct business. The Company considers its stores and direct operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and has therefore aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with its omni-channel business approach.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments, which have a maturity of ninety days or less when acquired. Included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle within two to four business days.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consists of those investments that have a maturity date, when acquired, that is greater than three months and less than twelve months. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short period between purchase and maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from third party financial institutions, which from time to time, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company is potentially exposed to a concentration of credit risk when cash and cash equivalent deposits in these financial institutions are in excess of FDIC limits. The Company considers the credit risk associated with these financial instruments to be minimal as cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions with high credit ratings and it has not historically sustained any credit losses associated with its cash and cash equivalents balances. In addition, the Company's cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts with Citizens Bank, N.A. and investments in U.S. government-backed securities held with Fidelity Investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

8

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. See Note 10 - Fair Value Measurement for information regarding the fair value of certain financial assets.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassifications from AOCI for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively, were as follows:

	April 29, 2023								April 30, 2022
For the three months ended:	(in thousands)
	Pension Plans			Foreign Currency		Total			Pension Plans			Foreign Currency			Total

(1)Includes the amortization of the unrecognized loss on pension plans, which was charged to “Selling, General and Administrative” Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company recognized expense of $58,000, or $43,000 net of taxes, for the three months ended April 29, 2023. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $12,000, as a result of a change in amortization from average remaining future service to average remaining lifetime. There was no related tax effect for the three months ended April 30, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

All share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock, are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values and vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). The Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as an expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards

9

that will ultimately vest requires judgment. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below as it relates to stock options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Expected volatility	86.3% - 92.1%		109.0% - 123.0%
Risk-free interest rate	3.71%-4.42%		2.52% - 2.60%
Expected term	2.5 yrs.		2.5 - 3.5 yrs.
Dividend rate		—		—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.24	$	3.38

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s judgment regarding the identification of impairment indicators is based on operational performance at the store level. Factors considered by the Company that could result in an impairment triggering event include significant changes in the use of assets, a current period operating or cash flow loss, underperformance of a store relative to historical or expected operating results, and an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the construction of the long-lived store assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The model for undiscounted future cash flows includes assumptions, at the individual store level, with respect to expectations for future sales and gross margin rates as well as an estimate for occupancy costs used to estimate the fair value of the respective store’s operating lease right-of-use asset. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds.

There were no impairments or non-cash gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $0.5 million. This non-cash gain related to the Company’s decision to close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the existing lease liabilities. The portion of the gains that related to previously recorded impairment charges against the operating lease right-of-use asset were included as an offset to previously recorded asset impairment charges. Accordingly, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, $0.4 million was included as an offset to asset impairment charges. The remaining gain was included as a reduction of store occupancy costs.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments, initial direct costs and any lease incentives are included in the value of those right-of use assets. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the lease measurement date, to determine the present value of future payments. The Company elected the lessee non-lease component separation practical expedient, which permits the Company to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate. The Company also made an accounting policy election that the recognition requirement of ASC 842 will not be applied to certain, if any, non-store leases, with a term of 12 months or less, recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At April 29, 2023, the Company had no short-term leases.

The Company’s store leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years each. In general, for store leases with an initial term of 10 years or more, the options to extend are not considered reasonably certain at lease commencement. For store leases with an initial term of 5 years, the Company evaluates each lease independently and, when the Company considers it reasonably certain that it will exercise an option to extend, the associated payment of that option will be included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Renewal options are not included in the lease term for automobile and equipment leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Renewal options were not considered for the Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution center lease, which was entered into in 2006 and was for an initial 20-year term. At the end of the initial term, the Company will have the opportunity to extend this lease for six additional successive periods of five years.

For store leases, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain store leases may require additional payments based on sales volume, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, and are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other store leases contain one periodic fixed lease payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and

10

included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Tenant allowances are included as an offset to the right-of-use asset and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the associated lease term.

See Note 4, "Leases" for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The guidance requires companies that use supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period and associated rollforward information. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with the exception of the rollforward information, which is not effective until fiscal 2024. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not participate in supplier finance programs.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

There were no other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2023, which had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company operates as a retailer of big and tall men’s clothing, which includes stores and direct. Revenue is recognized by the operating segment that initiates a customer’s order. Store sales are defined as sales that originate and are fulfilled directly at the store level. Direct sales are defined as sales that originate online, including those initiated online at the store level, on its website or on third-party marketplaces. Generally, all revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities is excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

̶Revenue from the Company’s store operations is recorded upon purchase of merchandise by customers, net of an allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

̶Revenue from the Company’s direct operations is recognized at the time a customer order is delivered, net of an allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

Unredeemed Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and Credit Vouchers. Upon issuance of a gift card, gift certificate, or credit voucher, a liability is established for its cash value. The liability is relieved and net sales are recorded upon redemption by the customer. Based on historical redemption patterns, the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers for which redemption is remote, which is referred to as “breakage.” Breakage is recognized over two years in proportion to historical redemption trends and is recorded as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gift card liability, net of breakage, was $2.6 million and $3.4 million at April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Unredeemed Loyalty Coupons. The Company offers a free loyalty program to its customers for which points accumulate based on the purchase of merchandise. Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, these loyalty points provide the customer with a material right and a distinct performance obligation with revenue deferred and recognized when the points are expected to redeem or expire. The cycle of earning and redeeming loyalty points is generally under one year in duration. The loyalty accrual, net of breakage, was $1.6 million and $1.6 million at April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Shipping. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales for all periods presented. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are recorded in sales, and the related costs are recorded in cost of goods sold, including occupancy costs, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Disaggregation of Revenue

As noted above under Segment Information in Note 1, the Company’s business consists of one reportable segment, its retail segment. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from its stores and direct businesses. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 included operating results from the wholesale segment, which was discontinued in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the following sales channels depict the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

11

	For the Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 29, 2023			April 30, 2022
Store sales	$	87,297	69.6%	$	88,279	69.4%
Direct sales		38,145	30.4%		38,994	30.6%
Retail segment	$	125,442		$	127,273
Wholesale segment		—			382
Total sales	$	125,442		$	127,655

3. Debt

Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A.

On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a credit facility with Citizens Bank, N.A. On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement which provided for the replacement of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate options with the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") based options (as amended, the "Credit Agreement").

The Credit Facility is a $125.0 million secured, asset-based credit facility with a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The maximum committed borrowing of $125.0 million includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15.0 million for swing line loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets.

As of April 20, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Base Rate loan or Daily Simple SOFR rate, at the Company's option. Base Rate loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the greater of: (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum (provided the Base Rate shall never be less than the Floor (as defined in the First Amendment)), plus (ii) a varying percentage, based on the Company’s average excess availability, of either 0.25% or 0.50% (the “Applicable Margin”). Daily Simple SOFR loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (provided the Daily Simple SOFR rate shall never be less than the Floor), plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. Any swingline loan will continue to bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Company is subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets. If the Company’s availability under the Credit Facility at any time is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap (the lesser of the aggregate revolving commitments or the borrowing base) and (ii) $7.5 million, then the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 until such time as availability has exceeded the greater of (1) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap and (2) $7.5 million for 30 consecutive days.

At April 29, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and unused availability was $93.8 million. The Company had no borrowings during the first three months of fiscal 2023, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $82.5 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $3.8 million and outstanding documentary letters were $1.3 million at April 29, 2023. At April 29, 2023, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 8.25%.

4. Leases

The Company leases all of its store locations and its corporate headquarters, which also includes its distribution center, under operating leases. The store leases typically have initial terms of 5 years to 10 years, with options that usually permit renewal for additional five-year periods. The initial term of the lease for the corporate headquarters is for 20 years, with the opportunity to extend for six additional consecutive periods of five years, beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company also leases certain equipment and other assets under operating leases, typically with initial terms of 3 to 5 years. The Company is generally obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance fees relating to its leases, which are considered variable lease costs and are expensed as incurred.

ASC 842 requires the assessment of any lease modification to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied. Lease modification accounting requires the recalculation of the ROU asset, lease liability and lease expense over the respective lease term. In April 2020, the FASB issued guidance allowing entities to make a policy election to account for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. The election applies to any lessor-provided lease concession related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or in the obligations of the lessee. The Company opted not to elect this practical expedient and instead accounted for these rent concessions as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As of April 29, 2023, the Company’s operating leases liabilities represent the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments updated based on concessions and lease modifications.

Lease costs related to store locations are included in cost of goods sold including occupancy costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and expenses and lease costs related to the corporate headquarters and equipment leases are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table is a summary of the Company’s components of net lease cost for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022:

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
(in thousands)
Operating lease cost	$	10,666	$	11,014
Variable lease costs(1)		3,166		3,154
Total lease costs	$	13,832	$	14,168

(1)Variable lease costs include the cost of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance fees related to its leases.

Supplemental cash flow and balance sheet information related to leases for the first three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 was as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	For the three months ended
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Operating cash flows for operating leases (1)	$	12,753	$	16,098
Non-cash operating activities:
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities	$	9,250	$	8,608
Weighted average remaining lease term	4.3 yrs.		4.4 yrs.
Weighted average discount rate	6.39%		6.69%

(1)The cash paid for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 included prepaid rent of $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The decrease in cash paid was due to the timing of prepaid rents, which resulted in approximately four months of rent payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as opposed to three months of rent payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for each of the first five years and total of the remaining years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 29, 2023:

(in thousands)
2023 (remaining)	$	33,252
2024		43,815
2025		34,947
2026		22,449
2027		14,867
Thereafter		14,762
Total minimum lease payments	$	164,092
Less: amount of lease payments representing interest		20,176
Present value of future minimum lease payments	$	143,916
Less: current obligations under leases		37,071
Long-term lease obligations	$	106,845

At April 29, 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year store lease that has not yet commenced with aggregated estimated future lease payments of approximately $2.1 million, which are not included in the above table. The lease is expected to commence in the fall of 2023.

5. Long-Term Incentive Plans

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under long-term incentive plans are issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation.

The LTIPs are granted annually and each LTIP covers a three-year performance period. Each participant in the LTIP participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. Awards for any achievement of performance targets are not granted until the

13

performance targets are achieved and then are subject to additional vesting through August 31 following the end of the applicable performance period.

2020-2022 LTIP

The performance targets for the Company’s 2020-2022 LTIP were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee”) on June 11, 2020 and covered a three-year period performance period, which ended on January 28, 2023. The time-vested portion of the 2020-2022 LTIP vests in four annual installments, with the remaining installment vesting on April 1, 2024.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, on March 6, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a grant of awards equal to $2.8 million for the achievement of the performance target for the 2020-2022 LTIP. The awards were granted on March 23, 2023, following completion of the audited financial statements, in a combination of 50% cash and 50% restricted stock units ("RSUs"). All awards are subject to further vesting through August 31, 2023. In connection with the grant of 267,219 RSUs, the Company reclassified $1.1 million of its liability accrual from “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital” in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

Active LTIPs

At April 29, 2023, the Company had two active LTIPs: the 2021-2023 LTIP and the 2022-2024 LTIP. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP were granted in a combination of 25% stock options and 75% cash and the 2022-2024 LTIP time-based awards were granted in a combination of 50% RSUs and 50% cash.

Performance targets for the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee on March 8, 2021 and April 9, 2022, respectively. The performance period for each LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2025, respectively. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2026, respectively. Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based awards, which are being expensed straight-line over 49 months and 48 months, respectively.

At April 29, 2023, the Company had accrued $1.8 million under the 2021-2023 LTIP and $1.1 million under the 2022-2024 LTIP for the performance awards.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, on May 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the 2023-2025 LTIP. The time-based awards, which represent 50% of the 2023-2025 LTIP, were granted in a combination of 50% cash and 50% RSUs on May 1, 2023 and will vest in four equal installments on May 1, 2024, April 1, 2025, April 1, 2026 and April 1, 2027. The performance-based awards, which represent the remaining 50% of the 2023-2025 LTIP, will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2026. Assuming that the Company achieves the performance target at target level and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2023-2025 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.9 million. Approximately half of that compensation expense relates to the time-based awards, which will be expensed straight-line over 47 months. At April 29, 2023, the Company had no accrual for the performance-based awards under the 2023-2025 LTIP.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has one active stock-based compensation plan: the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). The initial share reserve under the 2016 Plan was 5,725,538 shares of common stock. A grant of a stock option award or stock appreciation right will reduce the outstanding reserve on a one-for-one basis, meaning one share for every share granted. A grant of a full-value award, including, but not limited to, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock, will reduce the outstanding reserve by a fixed ratio of 1.9 shares for every share granted. The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to increase the share reserve by 2,800,000 shares on August 8, 2019, an additional 1,740,000 shares on August 12, 2020 and an additional 4,855,000 on August 5, 2021. At April 29, 2023, the Company had 3,916,695 shares available under the 2016 Plan.

In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan, any shares outstanding under the previous 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) at August 4, 2016 that subsequently terminate, expire or are cancelled for any reason without having been exercised or paid are added back and become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, with stock options being added back on a one-for-one basis and full-value awards being added back on a 1 to 1.9 basis. At April 29, 2023, 108,602 stock options remained outstanding under the 2006 Plan.

The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make all determinations with respect to amounts and conditions covering awards. Options are not granted at a price less than fair value on the

14

date of the grant. Except with respect to 5% of the shares available for awards under the 2016 Plan, no award will become exercisable unless such award has been outstanding for a minimum period of one year from its date of grant.

The following tables summarize the share activity and stock option activity for the first three months of fiscal 2023:

	RSUs (1)			Deferred shares (2)		Performance Share Units (3)			Fully-Vested  Shares (4)			Total number of shares			Weighted- average grant-date fair value

(1)During the first three months of fiscal 2023, the Company granted RSUs for the achievement of performance metrics under the 2020-2022 LTIP that are subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2023. See Note 5, Long-Term Incentive Plans. As a result of net share settlements, of the 250,547 RSUs that vested, only 169,517 shares of common stock were issued.

(2)The outstanding deferred shares will be issued upon the director’s separation from service.

(3)Represents the remaining performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted to Mr. Kanter in February 2019 which expired unvested on April 1, 2023.

(4)Represents compensation, with a fair value of $20,249, to certain directors, who are required to receive shares, in lieu of cash, in order to satisfy their minimum equity ownership under the Non-Employee Director Plan. Voluntary shares received, in lieu of cash, are reported below under Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

	Number of shares			Weighted- average exercise price per option		Weighted- average remaining contractual term		Aggregate intrinsic value
Stock Options
Outstanding options at beginning of year		3,556,434		$	0.83	7.4 years		$	23,238,665

Options exercisable at end of quarter		2,204,631		$	0.84	6.9 years		$	7,925,550

For the first three months of fiscal 2023, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,316 shares of common stock, 270,867 restricted stock units and 2,844 fully-vested shares. For the first three months of fiscal 2022, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,040 shares of common stock, 494,444 restricted stock units and 9,352 fully-vested shares.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan

The Company granted 12,376 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $88,117, to certain of its non-employee directors as compensation in lieu of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2023. These shares are in addition to any shares that may be granted under the 2016 Plan related to the requirement to receive equity if a director has not yet satisfied his or her minimum equity ownership requirement under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The total compensation cost related to time-vested stock options and RSU awards not yet recognized as of April 29, 2023 was approximately $1.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 27 months.

7. Equity and Earnings per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
(in thousands)
Common stock outstanding:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		62,690		64,080
Common stock equivalents – stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock		3,626		4,290
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		66,316		68,370

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in each period, because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price per share of common stock for the respective periods or because the unearned compensation associated with stock options or restricted stock units had an anti-dilutive effect.

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
(in thousands, except exercise prices)
Stock options		17		285
Restricted stock units		9		494
Range of exercise prices of such options	$4.48-$7.43		$4.87 - $5.50

The above options, which were outstanding at April 29, 2023, expire from April 3, 2032 to March 20, 2033.

Deferred stock of 435,568 shares at April 29, 2023 and at April 30, 2022 was excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share. Shares of deferred stock are not considered issued and outstanding until the vesting date of the deferral period.

8. Stock Repurchase Program

On March 14, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, effective March 16, 2023. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $15.0 million of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program will expire on March 16, 2024, but may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

There were no stock repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

9. Income Taxes

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was reduced from the statutory rate due to the utilization of the Company’s fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards. Then in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able to realize the benefits of substantially all of its deferred tax assets in the United States. Accordingly, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company released substantially all of its deferred tax valuation allowance. As a result of the valuation allowance being released, the Company has returned to a normal tax provision for fiscal 2023. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 26.6% compared to 0.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company made no tax payments for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.

10. Fair Value Measurement

At April 29, 2023, the Company held U.S. treasury bills which were classified as held-to maturity and carried at amortized cost. The Company had no investments at April 30, 2022.

BUSINESS SUMMARY

Destination XL Group, Inc., together with our consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is the largest specialty retailer of big and tall men’s clothing with retail and direct operations in the United States. We operate under the trade names of Destination XL®, DXL®, DXL Outlets, Casual Male XL® and Casual Male XL Outlets. At April 29, 2023, we operated 218 Destination XL stores, 16 DXL outlet stores, 28 Casual Male XL retail stores, 19 Casual Male XL outlet stores and a digital business, including an e-commerce site at dxl.com and a mobile site, m.destinationXL.com, mobile app and third-party marketplaces.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Destination XL Group, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our fiscal years, which end on February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022 as "fiscal 2023", “fiscal 2022,” and “fiscal 2021” respectively. Fiscal 2023 is a 53-week period and fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 were 52-week periods.

SEGMENT REPORTING

We currently have two principal operating segments: our stores and direct business. We consider our stores and direct business segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and have therefore aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with our omni-channel business approach.

COMPARABLE SALES

Our customer’s shopping experience continues to evolve across multiple channels, and we are continually adapting to meet the guest’s needs. The majority of our stores have the capability of fulfilling online orders if merchandise is not available in the warehouse. As a result, we continue to see more transactions that begin online but are ultimately completed at the store level. Similarly, if a customer visits a store and the item is out of stock, the associate can order the item through our website. A customer also has the ability to order online and pick-up in a store and at curbside. We define store sales as sales that originate and are fulfilled directly at the store level.

18

Digital commerce sales, which we also refer to as direct sales, are defined as sales that originate online, whether through our website, at the store level or through a third-party marketplace.

Stores that have been open for at least 13 months are included in comparable sales. Stores that have been remodeled or re-located during the period are also included in our determination of comparable stores sales. Stores that have been expanded by more than 25% are considered non-comparable for the first 13 months. If a store is temporarily closed for more than 7 days, it is removed from the calculation of comparable sales until it reopens and upon its anniversary is once again removed from the calculation until the reopen date. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry and, as a result, our calculation of comparable sales is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other retailers.

We are pleased to report our ninth consecutive quarter of positive comparative sales growth. The first quarter was a more challenging growth quarter for the retail industry as a whole, which was affected by the macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted consumer spending. While we saw a softening in consumer demand this quarter, we do believe that the work that we have done over the past two years to transform and reposition the DXL brand enabled us to mitigate some of this consumer weakness. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we had a comparable sale increase of 0.6%, which was driven primarily by our stores which were up 1.5%, partially offset by our direct business which decreased 1.6%. Our merchandise margins decreased approximately 110 basis points from the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to increased costs on certain private-label merchandise, much of which we absorbed rather than passing on to the customer through price increases. We also experienced increased shipping costs for our direct-to-consumer orders and increased costs related to our loyalty program, which we relaunched late in fiscal 2022. These costs were partially offset by reduced inbound freight costs. Our SG&A costs were higher by approximately $1.7 million, due primarily to an increase in payroll costs for roles that were added last year to support our sales growth, merit increases in the prior year, as well as increased benefit costs.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Assuming a normalized tax rate and adjusting for asset impairments (gains), if any, on a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $9.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

At April 29, 2023, we had cash and investments of $46.0 million as compared to $7.5 million at April 30, 2022. At April 29, 2023, we had no debt outstanding and no borrowings during the quarter. Our unused excess availability at April 29, 2023 was $93.8 million. Our inventory was in a healthy position at quarter-end, down 11% to 2019 (pre-pandemic) levels with turnover up over 25%, and we expect to continue to maintain our low promotional cadence. With cash on hand, no outstanding debt and full availability under our credit facility, we are continuing to pursue our strategic initiatives this year to further grow our business.

As discussed below, the Company's Board of Directors approved a $15.0 million stock repurchase program in March 2023. There were no repurchases of stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. We expect to begin executing on the stock repurchase program in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, however the timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program will expire on March 16, 2024 and may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

Financial Summary

Sales

The following table presents sales by segment for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022:

	For the Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 29, 2023			April 30, 2022
Store sales	$	87,297	69.6%	$	88,279	69.4%
Direct sales		38,145	30.4%		38,994	30.6%
Retail segment	$	125,442		$	127,273
Wholesale segment		—			382
Total sales	$	125,442		$	127,655

Total sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $125.4 million, as compared to $127.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Comparable sales for the first quarter were up 0.6% with comparable sales from our stores up 1.5% and our direct business down 1.6%. This increase in comparable sales was offset by sales from closed stores and a decrease in non-comparable sales.

Sales for the quarter started off strong with a comparable sales increase of 9.1% in February. However, we saw a comparable sales decline in March of (2.8)% and in April of (1.9)%. The slowdown in sales was primarily driven by decreases in traffic, both to our stores and web, but was partially offset by increased dollars per transaction and conversion. Throughout the quarter, our stores performed better than our direct business, but we continued to see sales growth from online marketplaces and our mobile app.

Gross Margin Rate

For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, our gross margin rate, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 48.6% as compared to a gross margin rate of 50.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Our gross margin rate decreased by 140-basis points, with a decrease in merchandise margin of 110-basis points and an increase of 30-basis points in occupancy costs, primarily due to the deleveraging of sales. The decrease in merchandise margin of 110-basis points was due to increased costs on certain private-label merchandise, much of which we absorbed rather than passing on to the customer through price increases. We also experienced increased shipping costs related to direct-to-consumer shipments, and costs related to our loyalty program with more sales tendered with loyalty certificates as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. These cost increases were partially offset by lower inbound freight costs. For the year, we expect gross margin rates to be approximately 100-basis points lower than fiscal 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

As a percentage of sales, SG&A (selling, general and administrative) expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were 38.5% as compared to 36.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

On a dollar basis, SG&A expenses increased by $1.7 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll-related costs from new positions added in the past year and last year's merit increases. We also saw increases in benefit costs over the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in payroll last year was added to support the Company's growth initiatives.

Management views SG&A expenses through two primary cost centers: Customer Facing Costs and Corporate Support Costs. Customer Facing Costs, which include store payroll, marketing and other store and direct operating costs, represented 21.1% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 20.2% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Corporate Support Costs, which include the distribution center and corporate overhead costs, represented 17.4% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to 16.3% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Marketing costs for the first quarter were 5.5% of sales as compared to 5.3% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. For fiscal 2023, marketing costs are expected to be approximately 5.7% of sales.

Impairment (Gain) of Assets

There were no impairments or non-cash gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we recorded a non-cash gain of $0.5 million related to the reduction of our operating lease liability in connection with our decision to close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the lease liability. The portion of the gain that related to a previously recorded impairment charge against the operating lease right-of-use asset was included as an offset to previously recorded asset impairment charge. Accordingly, $0.4 million was included in the Impairment (Gain) of Assets line of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining gain was recorded as a reduction to occupancy costs.

20

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased to $3.5 million as compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease was due to a lower depreciable cost base, especially from our store assets, due to our limited capital spending since fiscal 2020.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.3 million, as compared to interest expense of $0.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, interest income was earned from investments in U.S. government-backed investments and money market accounts. Interest costs for both periods were minimal because we had no outstanding debt and no borrowings under our credit facility during either period.

Income Taxes

As a result of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets being substantially released during fiscal 2022, we have returned to a normal tax provision for fiscal 2023. Accordingly, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the effective tax rate was 26.6% as compared to 0.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was reduced from the statutory rate due to the utilization of fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs").

Net Income

For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we recorded net income of $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

On a non-GAAP basis, assuming a normalized tax rate of 26% and adjusting for asset impairments (gains), if any, adjusted net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $9.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. There was no asset impairment (gains) for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and an asset impairment (gain) of $(0.4) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Inventory

As of April 29, 2023, our inventory increased approximately $3.4 million to $100.3 million, as compared to $96.9 million at April 30, 2022. While our inventory increased over last year's first quarter, inventory levels were down 11% and turnover was up over 25% from the first quarter of fiscal 2019, or pre-pandemic levels. Managing our inventory remains a primary focus for us given the potential impact that inflation may have on consumer spending. Based on the sales trends we started to see in March 2023, we took proactive measures and adjusted our receipt plan. At April 29, 2023, our clearance inventory was 7.8% of our total inventory, as compared to 6.9% at April 30, 2022 and below our historical benchmark of approximately 10.0%.

SEASONALITY

Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations as it relates to our operating income, net income, and free cash flow. Traditionally, a significant portion of our operating income, net income, and free cash flow is generated in the second and fourth quarters. Our inventory is typically at peak levels by the end of the third quarter, which represents a significant use of cash, which is then relieved in the fourth quarter as we sell-down our inventory through the holiday shopping season.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash generated from operations and availability under our credit facility, which is discussed below. At April 29, 2023, we had no outstanding debt, including no borrowings under our credit facility during the first three months of fiscal 2023. Cash that is in excess of our forecasted needs may be invested in money market accounts and U.S. government-backed securities.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balances, short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and borrowings available to us under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we remain cautious regarding the effect that the current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and rising interest costs, may have on consumer spending as well as the continuing geopolitical impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on our business and the global economy. We believe that cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand will also be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements in the longer-term, however, to the extent future capital requirements exceed cash on hand plus cash flows from operating activities, we anticipate that working capital will be financed by our credit facility, as discussed below.

For the first three months of fiscal 2023, cash flow from operations decreased to $(4.2) million as compared to $(1.5) million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, decreased to $(5.9) million for the first three months of fiscal

21

2023 as compared to $(2.7) million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. The first quarter is historically a period of net cash outflows as we build our seasonal inventories and pay out prior year performance incentive accruals. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to our lower earnings.

Cash flow used for investing activities increased by $16.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the purchase of $16.1 million of short-term investments.

Cash flow used for financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2023 decreased by $5.0 million as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the repurchase of $5.0 million shares of the Company's common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. There were no repurchases of common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

In March 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $15.0 million of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Any shares of repurchased common stock will be held as treasury stock. We expect to begin executing on the stock repurchase program in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, however the timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program will expire on March 16, 2024 and may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.

Credit Facility

On October 28, 2021, we entered into a $125.0 million revolving credit agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A., with a maturity date of October 28, 2026. On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement which provided for the replacement of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate options with the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") based options (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15.0 million for swingline loans. April 20, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Base Rate loan or Daily Simple SOFR rate, at the Company's option. Base Rate loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the greater of: (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum (provided the Base Rate shall never be less than the Floor (as defined in the First Amendment)), plus (ii) a varying percentage, based on the Company’s average excess availability, of either 0.25% or 0.50% (the “Applicable Margin”). Daily Simple SOFR loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (provided the Daily Simple SOFR rate shall never be less than the Floor), plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. Any swingline loan will continue to bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. We are subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%.

We had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement at April 29, 2023 and no borrowings during the first three months of fiscal 2023. At April 29, 2023, outstanding standby letters of credit were $3.8 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $1.3 million. The average unused excess availability during the first three months of fiscal 2023 was approximately $82.5 million and the unused excess availability at April 29, 2023 was $93.8 million.

Capital Expenditures

The following table sets forth the open stores and related square footage at April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively:

	April 29, 2023				April 30, 2022
Store Concept	Number of Stores		Square Footage		Number of Stores		Square Footage
(square footage in thousands)
DXL Retail		218		1,663		219		1,671
DXL Outlets		16		80		16		80
Casual Male XL Retail		28		92		32		106
Casual Male Outlets		19		57		19		57
Total Stores		281		1,892		286		1,914

We have executed our first lease agreement this year for a new store in the Los Angeles market. We are very close on our second new store which will be in the New York market and we expect to sign at least one more lease for a third whitespace store that we expect to open by the end of 2023. We have also started to convert four Casual Male stores to the DXL store format and we have started to remodel one existing DXL store. By the end of fiscal 2023, we expect to open 3 new DXL stores and 10 Casual Male to DXL conversion stores. We expect to have begun construction on at least 5 DXL remodels by the end of the year. Over the next three to

22

five years, we believe we could potentially open 50 new DXL stores across the country. We expect our capital expenditures to range from $19.0 million to $21.0 million in fiscal 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Annual Report. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for information on recent accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting principles.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Free cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, the non-GAAP measures presented in this Quarterly Report may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We believe that inclusion of these non-GAAP measures helps investors gain a better understanding of our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods and that they are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate our operating results, when reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial statements.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are presented in the following tables (certain columns may not foot due to rounding):

Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow excludes the mandatory and discretionary repayment of debt. Free cash flow is a metric that management uses to monitor liquidity. We expect to fund our ongoing capital expenditures with cash flow from operations.

The following table reconciles free cash flow:

	For the three months ended
(in millions)	April 29, 2023			April 30, 2022
Cash flow from operating activities (GAAP basis)	$	(4.2	)	$	(1.5	)
Capital expenditures		(1.7	)		(1.2	)
Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP basis)	$	(5.9	)	$	(2.7	)

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share: The above discussion includes adjusted net income, on a non-GAAP basis. For comparability, the adjusted net income has been calculated to adjust for asset impairment charge (gain), if any, and to apply a normal tax rate of 26%.

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023					April 30, 2022
	$			Per diluted share		$			Per diluted share
(in millions, except per share data)
Net income (GAAP basis)	$	7.0		$	0.11	$	13.4		$	0.20
Adjust for impairment (gain) of assets		—					(0.4	)
Add back actual income tax provision		2.5					0.1
Add income tax provision, assuming a normal tax rate of 26%		(2.5	)				(3.4	)
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP basis)	$	7.0		$	0.11		9.7		$	0.14
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a diluted basis					66.3					68.4

23

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is before any impairment of assets, if any. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our performance and is a key metric to measure profitability and economic productivity. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA from net income:

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023			April 30, 2022
(in millions)
Net income (GAAP basis)	$	7.0		$	13.4

Impairment (gain) of assets		—			(0.4	)
Provision for income taxes		2.5			0.1

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP basis)	$	12.6		$	17.3
Sales	$	125.4		$	127.7
Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP), as a percentage of sales		10.1	%		13.5	%

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements on borrowings. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.

There have not been any material changes to our interest rate previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Fiscal 2022 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of April 29, 2023. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of April 29, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have not experienced any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended April 29, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

24

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Fiscal 2022 Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On March 14, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $15.0 million of its common stock through open market and privately negotiated transactions. The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program will expire in March 2024 and may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first quarter of 2023.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management of Destination XL Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, referred to as the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2023.

The information set forth in these statements may be subject to normal year-end adjustments. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s business historically has been seasonal in nature, and the results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53- week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2023 is a 53-week period ending on February 3, 2024 and fiscal 2022 was a 52-week period which ended on January 28, 2023.

Segment Information

The Company has two principal operating segments: its stores and its direct business. The Company considers its stores and direct operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and has therefore aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with its omni-channel business approach.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments, which have a maturity of ninety days or less when acquired. Included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle within two to four business days.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consists of those investments that have a maturity date, when acquired, that is greater than three months and less than twelve months. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short period between purchase and maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from third party financial institutions, which from time to time, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company is potentially exposed to a concentration of credit risk when cash and cash equivalent deposits in these financial institutions are in excess of FDIC limits. The Company considers the credit risk associated with these financial instruments to be minimal as cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions with high credit ratings and it has not historically sustained any credit losses associated with its cash and cash equivalents balances. In addition, the Company's cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts with Citizens Bank, N.A. and investments in U.S. government-backed securities held with Fidelity Investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. See Note 10 - Fair Value Measurement for information regarding the fair value of certain financial assets.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassifications from AOCI for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively, were as follows:

	April 29, 2023								April 30, 2022
For the three months ended:	(in thousands)
	Pension Plans			Foreign Currency		Total			Pension Plans			Foreign Currency			Total
Balance at beginning of the quarter	$	(4,928	)	$	—	$	(4,928	)	$	(5,466	)	$	(59	)	$	(5,525	)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before    reclassifications, net of taxes		6			—		6			79			(4	)		75
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other    comprehensive income, net of taxes (1)		43			—		43			(12	)		—			(12	)

Balance at end of quarter	$	(4,879	)	$	—	$	(4,879	)	$	(5,399	)	$	(63	)	$	(5,462	)

(1)Includes the amortization of the unrecognized loss on pension plans, which was charged to “Selling, General and Administrative” Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company recognized expense of $58,000, or $43,000 net of taxes, for the three months ended April 29, 2023. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $12,000, as a result of a change in amortization from average remaining future service to average remaining lifetime. There was no related tax effect for the three months ended April 30, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

All share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock, are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values and vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). The Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as an expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards

that will ultimately vest requires judgment. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below as it relates to stock options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Expected volatility	86.3% - 92.1%		109.0% - 123.0%
Risk-free interest rate	3.71%-4.42%		2.52% - 2.60%
Expected term	2.5 yrs.		2.5 - 3.5 yrs.
Dividend rate		—		—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.24	$	3.38

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s judgment regarding the identification of impairment indicators is based on operational performance at the store level. Factors considered by the Company that could result in an impairment triggering event include significant changes in the use of assets, a current period operating or cash flow loss, underperformance of a store relative to historical or expected operating results, and an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the construction of the long-lived store assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The model for undiscounted future cash flows includes assumptions, at the individual store level, with respect to expectations for future sales and gross margin rates as well as an estimate for occupancy costs used to estimate the fair value of the respective store’s operating lease right-of-use asset. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds.

There were no impairments or non-cash gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $0.5 million. This non-cash gain related to the Company’s decision to close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the existing lease liabilities. The portion of the gains that related to previously recorded impairment charges against the operating lease right-of-use asset were included as an offset to previously recorded asset impairment charges. Accordingly, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, $0.4 million was included as an offset to asset impairment charges. The remaining gain was included as a reduction of store occupancy costs.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments, initial direct costs and any lease incentives are included in the value of those right-of use assets. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the lease measurement date, to determine the present value of future payments. The Company elected the lessee non-lease component separation practical expedient, which permits the Company to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate. The Company also made an accounting policy election that the recognition requirement of ASC 842 will not be applied to certain, if any, non-store leases, with a term of 12 months or less, recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At April 29, 2023, the Company had no short-term leases.

The Company’s store leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years each. In general, for store leases with an initial term of 10 years or more, the options to extend are not considered reasonably certain at lease commencement. For store leases with an initial term of 5 years, the Company evaluates each lease independently and, when the Company considers it reasonably certain that it will exercise an option to extend, the associated payment of that option will be included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Renewal options are not included in the lease term for automobile and equipment leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Renewal options were not considered for the Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution center lease, which was entered into in 2006 and was for an initial 20-year term. At the end of the initial term, the Company will have the opportunity to extend this lease for six additional successive periods of five years.

For store leases, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain store leases may require additional payments based on sales volume, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, and are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other store leases contain one periodic fixed lease payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and

included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Tenant allowances are included as an offset to the right-of-use asset and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the associated lease term.

See Note 4, "Leases" for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The guidance requires companies that use supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period and associated rollforward information. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with the exception of the rollforward information, which is not effective until fiscal 2024. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not participate in supplier finance programs.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

There were no other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2023, which had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company operates as a retailer of big and tall men’s clothing, which includes stores and direct. Revenue is recognized by the operating segment that initiates a customer’s order. Store sales are defined as sales that originate and are fulfilled directly at the store level. Direct sales are defined as sales that originate online, including those initiated online at the store level, on its website or on third-party marketplaces. Generally, all revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities is excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

̶Revenue from the Company’s store operations is recorded upon purchase of merchandise by customers, net of an allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

̶Revenue from the Company’s direct operations is recognized at the time a customer order is delivered, net of an allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

Unredeemed Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and Credit Vouchers. Upon issuance of a gift card, gift certificate, or credit voucher, a liability is established for its cash value. The liability is relieved and net sales are recorded upon redemption by the customer. Based on historical redemption patterns, the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers for which redemption is remote, which is referred to as “breakage.” Breakage is recognized over two years in proportion to historical redemption trends and is recorded as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gift card liability, net of breakage, was $2.6 million and $3.4 million at April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Unredeemed Loyalty Coupons. The Company offers a free loyalty program to its customers for which points accumulate based on the purchase of merchandise. Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, these loyalty points provide the customer with a material right and a distinct performance obligation with revenue deferred and recognized when the points are expected to redeem or expire. The cycle of earning and redeeming loyalty points is generally under one year in duration. The loyalty accrual, net of breakage, was $1.6 million and $1.6 million at April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, respectively.

Shipping. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales for all periods presented. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are recorded in sales, and the related costs are recorded in cost of goods sold, including occupancy costs, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Disaggregation of Revenue

As noted above under Segment Information in Note 1, the Company’s business consists of one reportable segment, its retail segment. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from its stores and direct businesses. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 included operating results from the wholesale segment, which was discontinued in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the following sales channels depict the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A.

On October 28, 2021, the Company entered into a credit facility with Citizens Bank, N.A. On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement which provided for the replacement of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate options with the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") based options (as amended, the "Credit Agreement").

The Credit Facility is a $125.0 million secured, asset-based credit facility with a maturity date of October 28, 2026. The maximum committed borrowing of $125.0 million includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15.0 million for swing line loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets.

As of April 20, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Base Rate loan or Daily Simple SOFR rate, at the Company's option. Base Rate loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the greater of: (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum (provided the Base Rate shall never be less than the Floor (as defined in the First Amendment)), plus (ii) a varying percentage, based on the Company’s average excess availability, of either 0.25% or 0.50% (the “Applicable Margin”). Daily Simple SOFR loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (provided the Daily Simple SOFR rate shall never be less than the Floor), plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. Any swingline loan will continue to bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Company is subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets. If the Company’s availability under the Credit Facility at any time is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap (the lesser of the aggregate revolving commitments or the borrowing base) and (ii) $7.5 million, then the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 until such time as availability has exceeded the greater of (1) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap and (2) $7.5 million for 30 consecutive days.

At April 29, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and unused availability was $93.8 million. The Company had no borrowings during the first three months of fiscal 2023, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $82.5 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $3.8 million and outstanding documentary letters were $1.3 million at April 29, 2023. At April 29, 2023, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 8.25%.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

4. Leases

The Company leases all of its store locations and its corporate headquarters, which also includes its distribution center, under operating leases. The store leases typically have initial terms of 5 years to 10 years, with options that usually permit renewal for additional five-year periods. The initial term of the lease for the corporate headquarters is for 20 years, with the opportunity to extend for six additional consecutive periods of five years, beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company also leases certain equipment and other assets under operating leases, typically with initial terms of 3 to 5 years. The Company is generally obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance fees relating to its leases, which are considered variable lease costs and are expensed as incurred.

ASC 842 requires the assessment of any lease modification to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied. Lease modification accounting requires the recalculation of the ROU asset, lease liability and lease expense over the respective lease term. In April 2020, the FASB issued guidance allowing entities to make a policy election to account for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. The election applies to any lessor-provided lease concession related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or in the obligations of the lessee. The Company opted not to elect this practical expedient and instead accounted for these rent concessions as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As of April 29, 2023, the Company’s operating leases liabilities represent the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments updated based on concessions and lease modifications.

Lease costs related to store locations are included in cost of goods sold including occupancy costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and expenses and lease costs related to the corporate headquarters and equipment leases are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table is a summary of the Company’s components of net lease cost for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022:

	For the three months ended
	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
(in thousands)
Operating lease cost	$	10,666	$	11,014
Variable lease costs(1)		3,166		3,154
Total lease costs	$	13,832	$	14,168

(1)Variable lease costs include the cost of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance fees related to its leases.

Supplemental cash flow and balance sheet information related to leases for the first three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 was as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	For the three months ended
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Operating cash flows for operating leases (1)	$	12,753	$	16,098
Non-cash operating activities:
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities	$	9,250	$	8,608
Weighted average remaining lease term	4.3 yrs.		4.4 yrs.
Weighted average discount rate	6.39%		6.69%

(1)The cash paid for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 included prepaid rent of $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The decrease in cash paid was due to the timing of prepaid rents, which resulted in approximately four months of rent payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as opposed to three months of rent payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for each of the first five years and total of the remaining years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 29, 2023:

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Long-Term Incentive Plans

5. Long-Term Incentive Plans

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under long-term incentive plans are issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation.

The LTIPs are granted annually and each LTIP covers a three-year performance period. Each participant in the LTIP participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. Awards for any achievement of performance targets are not granted until the

performance targets are achieved and then are subject to additional vesting through August 31 following the end of the applicable performance period.

2020-2022 LTIP

The performance targets for the Company’s 2020-2022 LTIP were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee”) on June 11, 2020 and covered a three-year period performance period, which ended on January 28, 2023. The time-vested portion of the 2020-2022 LTIP vests in four annual installments, with the remaining installment vesting on April 1, 2024.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, on March 6, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a grant of awards equal to $2.8 million for the achievement of the performance target for the 2020-2022 LTIP. The awards were granted on March 23, 2023, following completion of the audited financial statements, in a combination of 50% cash and 50% restricted stock units ("RSUs"). All awards are subject to further vesting through August 31, 2023. In connection with the grant of 267,219 RSUs, the Company reclassified $1.1 million of its liability accrual from “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital” in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

Active LTIPs

At April 29, 2023, the Company had two active LTIPs: the 2021-2023 LTIP and the 2022-2024 LTIP. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP were granted in a combination of 25% stock options and 75% cash and the 2022-2024 LTIP time-based awards were granted in a combination of 50% RSUs and 50% cash.

Performance targets for the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee on March 8, 2021 and April 9, 2022, respectively. The performance period for each LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2025, respectively. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2026, respectively. Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2021-2023 LTIP and 2022-2024 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based awards, which are being expensed straight-line over 49 months and 48 months, respectively.

At April 29, 2023, the Company had accrued $1.8 million under the 2021-2023 LTIP and $1.1 million under the 2022-2024 LTIP for the performance awards.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, on May 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the 2023-2025 LTIP. The time-based awards, which represent 50% of the 2023-2025 LTIP, were granted in a combination of 50% cash and 50% RSUs on May 1, 2023 and will vest in four equal installments on May 1, 2024, April 1, 2025, April 1, 2026 and April 1, 2027. The performance-based awards, which represent the remaining 50% of the 2023-2025 LTIP, will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2026. Assuming that the Company achieves the performance target at target level and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2023-2025 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.9 million. Approximately half of that compensation expense relates to the time-based awards, which will be expensed straight-line over 47 months. At April 29, 2023, the Company had no accrual for the performance-based awards under the 2023-2025 LTIP.

Stock-Based Compensation

6. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has one active stock-based compensation plan: the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). The initial share reserve under the 2016 Plan was 5,725,538 shares of common stock. A grant of a stock option award or stock appreciation right will reduce the outstanding reserve on a one-for-one basis, meaning one share for every share granted. A grant of a full-value award, including, but not limited to, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock, will reduce the outstanding reserve by a fixed ratio of 1.9 shares for every share granted. The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to increase the share reserve by 2,800,000 shares on August 8, 2019, an additional 1,740,000 shares on August 12, 2020 and an additional 4,855,000 on August 5, 2021. At April 29, 2023, the Company had 3,916,695 shares available under the 2016 Plan.

In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan, any shares outstanding under the previous 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) at August 4, 2016 that subsequently terminate, expire or are cancelled for any reason without having been exercised or paid are added back and become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, with stock options being added back on a one-for-one basis and full-value awards being added back on a 1 to 1.9 basis. At April 29, 2023, 108,602 stock options remained outstanding under the 2006 Plan.

The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make all determinations with respect to amounts and conditions covering awards. Options are not granted at a price less than fair value on the

date of the grant. Except with respect to 5% of the shares available for awards under the 2016 Plan, no award will become exercisable unless such award has been outstanding for a minimum period of one year from its date of grant.

The following tables summarize the share activity and stock option activity for the first three months of fiscal 2023:

	RSUs (1)			Deferred shares (2)		Performance Share Units (3)			Fully-Vested  Shares (4)			Total number of shares			Weighted- average grant-date fair value

For the first three months of fiscal 2022, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,040 shares of common stock, 494,444 restricted stock units and 9,352 fully-vested shares.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan

The Company granted 12,376 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $88,117, to certain of its non-employee directors as compensation in lieu of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2023. These shares are in addition to any shares that may be granted under the 2016 Plan related to the requirement to receive equity if a director has not yet satisfied his or her minimum equity ownership requirement under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The total compensation cost related to time-vested stock options and RSU awards not yet recognized as of April 29, 2023 was approximately $1.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 27 months.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was reduced from the statutory rate due to the utilization of the Company’s fully reserved net operating loss carryforwards. Then in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would be able to realize the benefits of substantially all of its deferred tax assets in the United States. Accordingly, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company released substantially all of its deferred tax valuation allowance. As a result of the valuation allowance being released, the Company has returned to a normal tax provision for fiscal 2023. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 26.6% compared to 0.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company made no tax payments for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company has two principal operating segments: its stores and its direct business. The Company considers its stores and direct operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and has therefore aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with its omni-channel business approach.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments, which have a maturity of ninety days or less when acquired. Included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle within two to four business days.

Short-Term Investments

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consists of those investments that have a maturity date, when acquired, that is greater than three months and less than twelve months. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short period between purchase and maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from third party financial institutions, which from time to time, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company is potentially exposed to a concentration of credit risk when cash and cash equivalent deposits in these financial institutions are in excess of FDIC limits. The Company considers the credit risk associated with these financial instruments to be minimal as cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions with high credit ratings and it has not historically sustained any credit losses associated with its cash and cash equivalents balances. In addition, the Company's cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts with Citizens Bank, N.A. and investments in U.S. government-backed securities held with Fidelity Investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. See Note 10 - Fair Value Measurement for information regarding the fair value of certain financial assets.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - ("AOCI")

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassifications from AOCI for the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively, were as follows:

(1)Includes the amortization of the unrecognized loss on pension plans, which was charged to “Selling, General and Administrative” Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company recognized expense of $58,000, or $43,000 net of taxes, for the three months ended April 29, 2023. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $12,000, as a result of a change in amortization from average remaining future service to average remaining lifetime. There was no related tax effect for the three months ended April 30, 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

All share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock, are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values and vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). The Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as an expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards

that will ultimately vest requires judgment. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below as it relates to stock options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Expected volatility	86.3% - 92.1%		109.0% - 123.0%
Risk-free interest rate	3.71%-4.42%		2.52% - 2.60%
Expected term	2.5 yrs.		2.5 - 3.5 yrs.
Dividend rate		—		—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.24	$	3.38

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s judgment regarding the identification of impairment indicators is based on operational performance at the store level. Factors considered by the Company that could result in an impairment triggering event include significant changes in the use of assets, a current period operating or cash flow loss, underperformance of a store relative to historical or expected operating results, and an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the construction of the long-lived store assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The model for undiscounted future cash flows includes assumptions, at the individual store level, with respect to expectations for future sales and gross margin rates as well as an estimate for occupancy costs used to estimate the fair value of the respective store’s operating lease right-of-use asset. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds.

There were no impairments or non-cash gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $0.5 million. This non-cash gain related to the Company’s decision to close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the existing lease liabilities. The portion of the gains that related to previously recorded impairment charges against the operating lease right-of-use asset were included as an offset to previously recorded asset impairment charges. Accordingly, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, $0.4 million was included as an offset to asset impairment charges. The remaining gain was included as a reduction of store occupancy costs.

Leases

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments, initial direct costs and any lease incentives are included in the value of those right-of use assets. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the lease measurement date, to determine the present value of future payments. The Company elected the lessee non-lease component separation practical expedient, which permits the Company to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate. The Company also made an accounting policy election that the recognition requirement of ASC 842 will not be applied to certain, if any, non-store leases, with a term of 12 months or less, recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At April 29, 2023, the Company had no short-term leases.

The Company’s store leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years each. In general, for store leases with an initial term of 10 years or more, the options to extend are not considered reasonably certain at lease commencement. For store leases with an initial term of 5 years, the Company evaluates each lease independently and, when the Company considers it reasonably certain that it will exercise an option to extend, the associated payment of that option will be included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Renewal options are not included in the lease term for automobile and equipment leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Renewal options were not considered for the Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution center lease, which was entered into in 2006 and was for an initial 20-year term. At the end of the initial term, the Company will have the opportunity to extend this lease for six additional successive periods of five years.

For store leases, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain store leases may require additional payments based on sales volume, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, and are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other store leases contain one periodic fixed lease payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and

included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Tenant allowances are included as an offset to the right-of-use asset and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the associated lease term.

See Note 4, "Leases" for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The guidance requires companies that use supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period and associated rollforward information. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with the exception of the rollforward information, which is not effective until fiscal 2024. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not participate in supplier finance programs.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

There were no other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2023, which had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
