On August 2, 2025, the Company had cash and current marketable securities of $106.7 million compared to cash and current marketable securities of $127.0 million on August 3, 2024.

Sales trends accelerated throughout the quarter even as we faced more difficult comparisons, underscoring the success of our recent merchandise and customer experience initiatives in what continues to be a challenging operating environment. We are seeing further acceleration third quarter-to-date led by an 11.2% comparable sales gain during back-to-school on top of a double-digit increase in the year ago period. With back-to-school performing well, we are optimistic about our prospects for the holiday season. However, we think it is prudent to balance our current momentum with some near-term conservatism given the uncertainty around tariffs and overall consumer demand.” Third Quarter To-DateThird quarter-to-date net sales for the 30 days ending September 1, 2025, increased 10.6%, compared with the 30-day period in the prior year ending September 2, 2024.
