In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be taken of the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. These risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
There have been no significant changes in the Risk Factors described in our 2025 Form 10-K, except as follows:
Changes in global trade policies and the imposition of tariffs could increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain.
The majority of goods we source are manufactured outside of the United States, primarily in Asia. Consequently, our business is subject to risks associated with foreign trade, including changes in trade policy. Recent or potential impositions of new or increased tariffs on imported products, or the removal of de minimis thresholds for direct-to-consumer imports, could increase our merchandise costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and liquidity. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the IEEPA. While this ruling has initiated a refund process, the availability, timing, and amount of such refunds remain uncertain and subject to further legal and administrative developments. Following this decision, the U.S. presidential administration invoked alternative authorities, including Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to impose new tariffs on imports from various countries. These and other trade and tariff-related actions may be subject to legal challenge, judicial reviews, stays, or appeals, which could result in further volatility in our merchandise costs and supply chain. If we are unable to diversify our sourcing, divert production or sourcing away from specific countries to avoid tariffs, or otherwise successfully mitigate the impact of these trade policies, our gross margins, costs of merchandise sold, results of operations, and competitive position could be adversely affected. Furthermore, retaliatory trade measures by other countries could increase the costs of our operations or limit our access to critical raw materials or merchandise.
