The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the financial
statements and related notes of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 19, 2026 (“Annual Report”). As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise
indicated, the terms “Ollie’s,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries.

We operate on a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a fiscal year consisting of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday nearer to January
31st of the following year. References to “fiscal year 2026” or “fiscal 2026” refer to the 52-week period of February 1, 2026 to January 30, 2027. References to “fiscal year 2025” or “fiscal 2025” refer to the 52-week period of
February 2, 2025 to January 31, 2026. References to the “first quarter of fiscal 2026” and the “first quarter of fiscal 2025” refer to the thirteen weeks of February 1, 2026 to May 2, 2026 and February 2, 2025
to May 3, 2025, respectively.  Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period and results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for a
full year.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking
statements can be identified by words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects,” and similar references to future periods, prospects,
financial performance, and industry outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, capital market conditions, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking
statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and
regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, supply chain challenges, legislation, national trade policy, and the following: our failure to adequately procure and manage our inventory, anticipate consumer demand, or achieve favorable
product margins; changes in consumer confidence and spending; risks associated with our status as a “brick and mortar” only retailer; risks associated with intense competition; our failure to open new profitable stores, or successfully enter new
markets, on a timely basis or at all; fluctuations in comparable store sales and results of operations, including on a quarterly basis; factors such as inflation, cost increases, and energy prices; the risks associated with doing business with
international manufacturers and suppliers including, but not limited to, potential increases or changes in tariffs on imported goods; our inability to operate our stores due to civil unrest and related protests or disturbances; our failure to
properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel; changes in market levels of wages; risks associated with cybersecurity events, and the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of computer networks and
other electronic systems, including e-mail; our inability to obtain favorable lease terms for our properties; the failure to timely acquire, develop, open and operate, or the loss of, disruption or interruption in the operations of, any of our
centralized distribution centers; risks associated with our lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace; risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and potential for adverse outcomes; our inability to successfully
develop or implement our marketing, advertising, and promotional efforts; the seasonal nature of our business; risks associated with natural disasters, whether or not caused by climate change; outbreak of viruses, global health epidemics,
pandemics, or widespread illness; changes in government regulations, procedures, and requirements; and our ability to service indebtedness and to comply with our financial covenants together with each of the other factors set forth under “Item 1A
– Risk Factors” contained herein and in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Factors or
events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.  You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our public announcements and SEC filings.

Overview

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is a leading off-price retailer of brand name household products.  Since our founding in 1982, the Company’s mission has been to sell Good Stuff Cheap®.
We do this through a flexible buying model that focuses on closeout merchandise and excess inventory from suppliers and manufacturers around the world. Our stores offer Real Brands! Real Bargains! ® in a treasure hunt shopping environment at
prices up to 70% below traditional retailers.

Our highly experienced merchandise team is constantly scouring the market and leveraging deep,
long-standing relationships across the supply chain to find the best products at the best prices. We focus on buying cheap and selling cheap, and source products as unique buying opportunities present themselves. While the individual products
sold in our stores are constantly changing, our overall merchandise mix is designed to save people money on a wide variety of brand name household products that they need and use in their everyday lives.

Our primary point of differentiation against other retailers is the pricing of our products. Our goal is to be the lowest priced retailer of any product offered by our stores.
We believe our flexible business model, opportunistic buying strategy, low cost structure, experienced merchant team with deep relationships across the vendor community, and long history of experience of buying and selling closeout merchandise
and excess inventory differentiates us from traditional retailers.

Since the founding of Ollie’s in 1982, our principal growth strategy has been the opening of new stores. Historically, we have expanded our store base by opening new stores
organically. More recently, we have expanded our store base through acquiring former store locations of bankrupt retailers through the bankruptcy auction process. Our growth strategy continuously evaluates the best opportunities in the
marketplace and combines organic new store openings with the acquisition of store locations. We follow a contiguous unit growth strategy that combines backfilling existing markets and states with entering new markets and states in a contiguous
manner. As of May 2, 2026 we have grown to 672 stores in 35 states.

While we are focused on driving comparable store sales and managing our expenses, the biggest driver of our net sales and profitability growth has historically been the
opening of new stores.  As we continue to grow, we believe we will have greater access to brand name closeout merchandise and an increased deal selection, resulting in more potential offerings for our customers.

Our ability to grow and our results of operations may be impacted by additional factors and uncertainties, such as consumer spending levels,
which are subject to macroeconomic conditions and changes in discretionary income.  Our customers’ discretionary income is impacted by changes in wages, gasoline and energy prices, interest rates, inflation, housing prices, rental rates, and
consumer trends and preferences. The potential consolidation of our competitors or other changes in our competitive landscape could also impact our results of operations or our ability to grow.  However, because we offer a broad selection of
merchandise at extreme values, we believe we are generally less impacted than other retailers by economic cycles that correspond with declines in general consumer spending habits.  We believe we also benefit from periods of increased consumer
spending.

Management looks at a number of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of the business, including new store openings, net sales, comparable store sales,
gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, earnings per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA.

The number of new stores reflects the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period.  Before we open new stores, we incur pre-opening expenses described below
under “Pre-Opening Expenses” and we make an initial investment in inventory.  We also make initial capital investments in fixtures and equipment, which we amortize over time.  Sales of new stores are typically strong in the first few months of
operation because of the advertising and marketing spending associated with a new store grand opening and the word of mouth in the local community.

Comparable store sales measure performance of a store during the current reporting period against the performance of the same store in the corresponding period of the previous
year.  Comparable store sales consist of net sales from our stores beginning on the first day of the sixteenth full fiscal month following the store’s opening, which is when we believe comparability is achieved.  Stores that remain open during a
remodel or refresh process, stores that are relocated within the same trade area, and stores that changed in size are generally classified in the same way as the original store, and we believe that the impact to our change in consolidated
comparable store sales percentage is immaterial. Comparable store sales are also referred to as “same-store” sales by other retail companies.

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of sales.  Included in cost of sales are: merchandise costs, inventory markdowns, inventory shrinkage and transportation,
distribution, and warehousing costs, including wages, benefits, and depreciation and amortization.

Index

SG&A expenses are comprised of wages and benefits for store, field support, and support center associates.  SG&A expenses also include marketing and advertising
expense, occupancy and operating costs for stores and the store support center, insurance, corporate infrastructure, and other general expenses.

Pre-opening expenses consist of all expenses associated with the opening of new stores and distribution centers, as well as all expenses associated with the remodel and/or
closing of an existing store.

The method of calculating comparable store sales, gross profit, SG&A and pre-opening expenses varies across the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of these
items may not necessarily be compatible with si

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The statements in this discussion regarding
expectations of our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited
to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A, Risk Factors” and “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

We operate on a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a given fiscal year consisting of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday nearer January 31 of the
following year. References to “2025” refer to the 52-week fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 and references to “2024” refer to the 52-week fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.  References to “2026” refer to the 52-week fiscal year ending January 30,

Management looks at a number of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of the business, including new store openings, net sales, comparable store sales, gross profit and gross margin, operating
expenses, operating income, earnings per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA.

The number of new stores reflects the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period.  Before we open new stores, we incur pre-opening expenses described below under “Pre-Opening Expenses” and we make

Comparable store sales measure performance of a store during the current reporting period against the performance of the same store in the corresponding period of the previous year.  Comparable store sales consist of
net sales from our stores beginning on the first day of the sixteenth full fiscal month following the store’s opening, which is when we believe comparability is achieved.  Stores that remain open during a remodel or refresh process, stores that are
relocated within the same trade area, and stores that changed in size are generally classified in the same way as the original store, and we believe that the impact to our change in consolidated comparable store sales percentage is immaterial.
Comparable store sales are also referred to as “same-store” sales by other retail companies.

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of sales.  Included in cost of sales are: merchandise costs, inventory markdowns, inventory shrinkage and transportation, distribution, and warehousing costs,
including wages, benefits, and depreciation and amortization.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses are comprised of wages and benefits for store, field support, and support center associates.  SG&A expenses also include marketing and advertising expense,
occupancy and operating costs for stores and the store support center, insurance, corporate infrastructure, and other general expenses.

Pre-opening expenses consist of all expenses associated with the opening of new stores and distribution centers, as well as all expenses associated with the remodel and/or closing of an existing store.

The method of calculating comparable store sales, gross profit, SG&A and pre-opening expenses varies across the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of these items may not necessarily be compatible with
similarly titled measures reported by other retail companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key metrics used by management and our Board to assess our financial performance.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested
parties to evaluate companies in our industry.  We use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to evaluate our performance in connection with
compensation decisions and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.  Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses
to evaluate the Company’s operating results.  We believe that excluding items from operating income, net income, and net income per diluted share that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in
frequency or magnitude, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

We define EBITDA as net income before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense and gains on insurance settlements.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools,
and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items.  For further discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and for reconciliations of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see “Results of Operations.”

Net sales increased to $2.649 billion in 2025 from $2.272 billion in 2024, an increase of $377.0 million, or 16.6%.  The increase in net sales was the result of new store unit growth and a comparable store sales
increase of 3.7%.

Comparable store sales increased 3.7% in 2025 compared with a 2.8% increase in 2024.  The increase in comparable store sales consisted of an increase in the number of transactions and basket size.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased to $1.073 billion in 2025 from $914.5 million in 2024, an increase of $158.5 million, or 17.3%.  Gross margin increased 20 basis points to 40.5% in 2025 from 40.3% in 2024.  The increase in
gross margin in fiscal 2025 is primarily due to higher merchandise margins, partially offset by higher supply chain costs, including incremental tariff expense.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

SG&A increased to $709.0 million in 2025 from $612.4 million in 2024, an increase of $96.6 million, or 15.8%.  Excluding a one-time expense of $5.5 million for the accelerated expense resulting from the
modification of existing equity awards for our Executive Chairman in 2024, SG&A increased 16.8% to $709.0 million in 2025 from $606.9 million in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher selling expenses related to new store growth. 
As a percentage of net sales, SG&A, exclusive of the one-time stock awards expense, increased 10 basis points to 26.8% in 2025 from 26.7% in 2024. This increase is primarily the result of higher medical and casualty claims, partially offset by
the leverage of fixed costs from higher sales and optimization efforts in marketing.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $41.0 million in 2025 from $33.2 million in 2024, an increase of $7.8 million, or 23.4%, resulting from the increased asset base due to new store growth and
investments in existing stores.

Pre-Opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses increased to $25.3 million in 2025 from $19.3 million in 2024, an increase of $6.0 million, or 30.9%. The increase was primarily driven by new store growth and dark rent expense of $5.2 million
associated with the bankruptcy acquired stores.  We opened 86 stores in 2025 compared to 50 stores opened and three stores closed in 2024.  Of the 86 store openings, 63 of these were bankruptcy acquired leases that carried higher levels of dark
rent. As a percentage of net sales, pre-opening expenses increased 10 basis points to 1.0% in 2025 from 0.9% in 2024.

Index

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net was $18.7 million in 2025 compared with $16.3 million in 2024. The increase in interest income, net in 2025 is primarily due to higher average cash and cash equivalent and investments balances,
partially offset by lower interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $75.8 million in 2025 from $66.1 million in 2024, an increase of $9.7 million, or 14.7%.  The effective tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were 24.0% and 24.9%, respectively.  The decrease in
the effective tax rate was driven by the impact of discrete items recognized, primarily lower excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by the impact of higher non-deductible compensation. For further information,
see Note 8 under “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $240.6 million in 2025 from $199.8 million in 2024, an increase of $40.8 million, or 20.4%.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $366.0 million in 2025 from $313.1 million in 2024, an increase of $52.9 million, or 16.9%.  Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.8% for 2025 and 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are net cash flows provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. As of January 31, 2026, we had $296.3 million of cash
and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand and $86.5 million available to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility. For further information regarding our Revolving Credit Facility, see Note 7 under “Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.”

Our primary cash needs are for capital expenditures and working capital.  Additionally, we have made and may continue to make discretionary share repurchases (see “Share Repurchase Program” below for further
discussion).

Our capital expenditures are primarily related to new store openings, lease acquisitions, and related build-out costs, store resets, which consist of improvements to stores as they are needed, expenditures related to
our distribution centers, and infrastructure-related investments, including investments related to upgrading and maintaining our information technology systems.  We spent $101.9 million and $120.6 million for capital expenditures in 2025 and 2024,
respectively.  We opened 86 new stores in 2025.

Capital expenditures in 2026 are planned to be approximately $103 to $113 million, primarily for the opening of 75 new stores, store-level initiatives at our existing stores, the expansion of two existing
distribution centers, as well as general corporate capital expenditures, including information technology.  We have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in construction and permitting of new stores and other projects.

Our primary working capital requirements are for the purchase of merchandise inventories, payroll, store rent associated with our operating leases, other store operating costs, distribution costs, and general and
administrative costs.  Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, rising in our third fiscal quarter as we increase quantities of inventory in anticipation of our peak holiday sales season in our fourth fiscal quarter. 
Fluctuations in working capital are also driven by the timing of new store openings.

A financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk is cash. Ollie’s currently maintains its day-to-day operating cash balances with major financial institutions. The
Company’s operating cash balances are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. From time to time, Ollie’s invests temporary excess cash in overnight investments with expected minimal volatility, such as money
market funds. Although the Company maintains balances which exceed the FDIC insured limit, it has not experienced any losses related to these balances.

Index

We believe our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments position, net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to finance our planned
capital expenditures, working capital requirements, debt service, and other financing activities over the next 12 months.  If cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are not sufficient or available
to meet our capital requirements, we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future.  There can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, the terms will be
satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current stockholders.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2020, our Board of Directors authorized common stock repurchases under a share repurchase program.  The authorized amount of the program, which has been increased from time to time, is authorized for up
to $700.0 million of the Company’s stock as of January 31, 2026.  The share repurchase program is effective through March 31, 2029.  The shares to be repurchased may be purchased from time to time in open market conditions (including blocks),
privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or other derivative transactions, issuer self-tender offers or any combination of the foregoing.  The timing of repurchases and the actual amount purchased will depend on a
variety of factors, including the market price of our shares, general market, economic and business conditions, and other corporate considerations.  Repurchases may be made pursuant to plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, which could allow us to purchase our shares during periods when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.  Repurchases are expected to be
funded from cash on hand or through the utilization of our Revolving Credit Facility.  The repurchase authorization does not require the purchase of a specific number of shares and is subject to suspension or termination by our Board at any time.

During 2025, we repurchased 636,640 shares of our common stock for $73.8 million, inclusive of transaction costs, pursuant to our share repurchase program, and during 2024, we repurchased 639,788 shares of our common
stock for $53.0 million, inclusive of transaction costs.  These expenditures were funded by cash generated from operations.  As of January 31, 2026, we had approximately $258.8 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.  There can
be no assurances that any additional repurchases will be completed, or as to the timing or amount of any repurchases.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 totaled $296.5 million compared with $227.5 million in 2024.  Operating cash flow was positively impacted by higher net income, the timing of merchandise payments,
and higher operating expense related accruals, partially offset by an increase in inventory resulting from new store growth.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $179.9 million in 2025 compared with $255.3 million in 2024. Cash used in investing activities includes purchases of property and equipment of $101.9 million and
purchases of investments, net of maturities, of $78.3 million.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $62.1 million in 2025 compared with $33.3 million in 2024.  Cash used in financing activities reflects payments of $73.8 million for the
repurchase of common stock, partially offset by $18.7 million of proceeds from stock option exercises.

Credit Facilities

The Company’s Credit Facility provides for a five-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $45.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit and a $25.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans
(the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  In addition, the Company may at any time add term loan facilities or additional revolving commitments up to $150.0 million pursuant to terms and conditions set out in the Credit Facility. On January 9, 2024, the
Company refinanced its Credit Facility, pursuant to which the maturity date for any loans under the revolving credit facility was extended for a period of five years and a zero percent (0.0%) interest rate floor was added to the option for the SOFR
Loan Rate (as defined in the Amendment). Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility mature on January 9, 2029.

The interest rates for the Credit Facility are calculated as follows: for ABR Loans, the highest of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% and Term SOFR with a term of one-month in effect on such
day plus the SOFR Spread Adjustment plus 1.0%, plus the Applicable Margin, or, for SOFR Loans, the SOFR Loan Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus the SOFR Spread Adjustment. The Applicable Margin will vary from 0.00% to 0.50% for an ABR Loan and
1.00% to 1.50% for a SOFR Loan, based on availability under the Credit Facility. The SOFR Loan Rate is subject to a 0% floor.

Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, as of January 31, 2026, we could borrow up to 90.0% of the most recent appraised value (valued at cost, discounted for the current net orderly liquidation value) of
our eligible inventory, as defined, up to $100.0 million.

As of January 31, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $86.5 million of borrowing availability, outstanding letters of credit commitments of $13.3 million and $0.2 million
of rent reserves.  The Revolving Credit Facility also contains a variable unused line fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.250% per annum. We incurred unused line fees of approximately $0.1 million in each of 2025 and 2024.

The Credit Facility is collateralized by the Company’s assets and equity and contains a financial covenant, as well as certain business covenants, including restrictions on dividend payments, which we must comply
with during the term of the agreement.  The financial covenant is a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio test of at least 1.0 to 1.0 applicable during a covenant period, based on reference to availability.  We were in compliance with all terms
of the Credit Facility during 2025.

The provisions of the Credit Facility restrict all of the net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, which constitutes all of the net assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026, from
being used to pay any dividends or make other restricted payments to the Company without prior written consent from the financial institutions that are a party to the Credit Facility, subject to material exceptions including proforma compliance
with the applicable conditions described in the Credit Facility.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Index

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal in nature and demand is generally the highest in our fourth fiscal quarter due to the holiday sales season.  To prepare for the holiday sales season, we must order and keep in stock more
merchandise than we carry during other times of the year and generally engage in additional marketing efforts.  We expect inventory levels, along with accounts payable and accrued expenses, to reach their highest levels in our third and fourth
fiscal quarters in anticipation of increased net sales during the holiday sales season.  As a result of this seasonality, and generally because of variation in consumer spending habits, we experience fluctuations in net sales and working capital
requirements during the year.  Because we offer a broad selection of merchandise at extreme values, we believe we are generally less impacted than other retailers by economic cycles which correspond with declines in general consumer spending habits
and we believe we still benefit from periods of increased consumer spending.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A summary of our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related
disclosures.  These judgments and estimates are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and understanding of our results
of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the retail inventory method on a first-in, first-out basis. The cost of inventories includes the merchandise cost, transportation costs, and
certain distribution and storage costs. Such costs are thereafter expensed as cost of sales upon the sale of the merchandise.

Under the retail inventory method, which is widely used in the retail industry, inventory is segregated into departments of merchandise having similar characteristics.  The valuation of inventories and the resulting
gross profit is derived by applying a calculated cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories for each department.

Inherent in the retail inventory method are certain management judgments and estimates including, among others, merchandise markups, the amount and timing of permanent markdowns, and shrinkage, which may
significantly impact both the ending inventory valuation and gross profit.

Factors considered in the determination of permanent markdowns include uncertainties related to inventory obsolescence, excess inventories, current and anticipated demand, age of the merchandise and customer
preferences.  A significant increase in the demand for merchandise could result in a short-term increase in inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities
on-hand.  If our inventory is determined to be overvalued in the future, we would be required to recognize such costs in cost of sales and reduce operating income at the time of such determination.  Therefore, although every effort is made to
ensure the accuracy of forecasts of merchandise demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or in economic conditions within our markets could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and reported operating results. 
Similarly, if higher than anticipated levels of shrinkage were to occur, it could have a material effect on our results of operations. We calculate our shrink provision based on actual physical inventory results during the fiscal period and an
accrual for estimated shrink occurring subsequent to a physical inventory through the end of the fiscal reporting period. This accrual is calculated as a percentage of sales for each retail store, at a department level, based on the Company’s most
recent historical shrink rate adjusted, if necessary, for current economic conditions and business trends. To the extent that subsequent physical inventories yield different results than the estimated accrual, our effective shrink rate for a given
reporting period will include the impact of adjusting to the actual results.

We have not made any material changes in the methodology used to recognize permanent markdowns or inventory shrinkage in the financial periods presented nor do we anticipate material changes in assumptions we use for
permanent markdowns or shrinkage.  As previously stated, however, if our actual experience does not accurately reflect our assumptions and forecasts, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.  We believe a 10% change in our
assumptions as of January 31, 2026 would have impacted net income by approximately $1.6 million in 2025.

Goodwill/Intangible Assets

We amortize intangible assets over their useful lives unless we determine such lives to be indefinite. Goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are not amortized to earnings, but instead are
subject to annual impairment testing or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill or intangible assets having indefinite useful lives might be impaired.

Goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually in the fiscal month of October. We have the option to evaluate qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely
than not that the carrying amount of our sole reporting unit or our nonamortizing intangible assets (consisting of a tradename) exceed their implied respective fair value and whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis to determine
impairment. As part of this qualitative assessment, we weigh the relative impact of factors that are specific to our sole reporting unit or our nonamortizing intangible assets as well as industry, regulatory and macroeconomic factors that could
affect the inputs used to determine the fair value of the assets.

If management determines a quantitative goodwill impairment test is required, or it elects to perform a quantitative test, the test is performed by determining the fair value of our sole reporting unit. Fair value is
determined based on our public market capitalization. The carrying value of goodwill is considered impaired when the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value and the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the
difference, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

If management determines a quantitative analysis of intangible assets having indefinite useful lives is required, the test is performed using the discounted cash flow method based on management’s projection of future
revenues and an estimated royalty rate to determine the fair value of the asset, specifically, our tradename.  An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the implied fair value of that asset.

Our impairment calculations contain uncertainties as they require management to make assumptions and apply judgment to qualitative factors as well as estimate future cash flows by forecasting financial performance. 
Our policy is to conduct impairment testing based on our most current business plans, which reflect anticipated changes in the economy and the retail industry. Should significant changes in our overall business strategy, future results or economic
events cause us to adjust our projected cash flows, future estimates of fair value may not support the carrying amount of these assets. If actual results prove inconsistent with our assumptions and judgments, we could be exposed to an impairment
charge.

For 2025 and 2024, we completed an impairment test of our goodwill and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed.  Similarly, for 2025 and 2024, we completed an impairment test of our tradename and determined
that no impairment of the asset existed.
