Description of Business

Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (the “Company”) is a leading sporting goods retailer in the western United States, operating 414 stores and an e-commerce platform as of March 30, 2025. The Company provides a full-line product offering in a traditional sporting goods store format that averages approximately 12,000 square feet. The Company’s product mix includes athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, home recreation, tennis, golf, and winter and summer recreation. The Company is a holding company that operates as one reportable segment through Big 5 Corp., its 100%-owned subsidiary, and Big 5 Services Corp., which is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Big 5 Corp. Big 5 Services Corp. provides a centralized operation for the issuance and administration of gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively, “stored-value cards”).

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) of the Company and its 100%-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the Interim Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The operating results and cash flows of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The accompanying Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reporting Period

The Company follows the concept of a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2025 is comprised of 52 weeks and ends on December 28, 2025. Fiscal year 2024 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on December 29, 2024. The interim periods in fiscal 2025 and 2024 are each comprised of 13 weeks.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which incorporates into the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) certain incremental disclosure requirements introduced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of its disclosure update and simplification initiative. The amendments in this update are intended to clarify or improve presentation and disclosure requirements around a variety of ASC Topics, improve entity comparability for users, and align ASC requirements with SEC regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the ASC and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the issuance of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which include improvements to income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to better align disclosures with Regulation S-X and to remove disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with earlier or retrospective application permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the future impact of the issuance of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

(continued)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which includes improvements to disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expense; and research and development). This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (as later clarified with the issuance of ASU No. 2025-1, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Clarifying the Effective Date), with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this Update, or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the future impact of the issuance of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.

General Concentration of Risk

The Company purchases merchandise from over 600 suppliers, and the Company’s 20 largest suppliers accounted for 39.3% of total purchases in fiscal 2024. One vendor represented greater than 5% of total purchases in fiscal 2024, at 5.1%.

A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad, particularly in China. We are subject to tariffs on certain imports into the United States. The U.S. administration has been increasing tariffs on China and other countries and more tariffs may be added in the future. If we are unable to pass tariff-related product cost increases on to our customers, it could decrease our merchandise margins and operating results. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, from time to time, shipping ports may experience capacity constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other disruptions that may delay the delivery of imported products. A contract dispute may lead to protracted delays in the movement of the Company’s products, which could further delay the delivery of products to the Company’s stores and impact net sales and profitability. In addition, other conditions outside of the Company’s control, such as adverse weather conditions or acts of terrorism or war, such as the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, could significantly disrupt operations at shipping ports or otherwise impact transportation of the imported merchandise we sell, either through supply chain disruptions, or rising freight and fuel costs.

The Company could be exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its lender under its revolving credit facility. Instability in the financial and capital markets could bring additional potential risks to the Company, including higher costs of credit, potential lender defaults, and potential commercial bank failures. The Company has received no indication that any such events will negatively impact its lender under its credit facility; however, the possibility does exist.

Use of Estimates

Management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period to prepare these Interim Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of merchandise inventories, property and equipment, lease assets and lease liabilities; valuation allowances for receivables, sales returns and deferred income tax assets; estimates related to stored-value cards and the valuation of share-based compensation awards; and obligations related to litigation, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefits. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after March 30, 2025 may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by management’s assumptions and estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which include both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online, and whose Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage, with the stores and e-commerce platform offering a similar general product mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar across all sales channels, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. Furthermore, the Company distributes its product mix for both the stores and e-commerce platform from a single distribution center. Given the consolidated level of review by the CODM, the Company operates as one reportable segment as defined by ASC 280, Segment Reporting. See Note 3 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion of segment information.

Revenue Recognition

The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which includes both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online. Generally, all revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, for an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Accordingly, the Company implicitly enters into a contract with customers to deliver merchandise inventory at the point of sale. Collectability is probable since the Company only extends immaterial credit purchases to certain municipalities and local school districts.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company disaggregates net sales into the following major merchandise categories to depict the nature and amount of revenue and related cash flows:


	13 Weeks Ended
	March 30, 2025		March 31, 2024
	(In thousands)
Hardgoods	$	82,593	$	87,792
Athletic and sport apparel		46,360		51,455
Athletic and sport footwear		45,753		52,617
Other sales		941		1,563
Net sales	$	175,647	$	193,427

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is for single performance obligations for the following distinct items:

•

Retail store sales

•

E-commerce sales

•

Stored-value cards

For performance obligations related to retail store and e-commerce sales contracts, the Company typically transfers control, for retail stores, upon consummation of the sale when the product is paid for and taken by the customer and, for e-commerce sales, when the product is tendered for delivery to the common carrier. For performance obligations related to stored-value cards, the Company typically transfers control upon redemption of the stored-value card through consummation of a future sales transaction. The Company accounts for shipping and handling relative to e-commerce sales as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for only one performance obligation, the sale of the product, at shipping point (when the customer gains control). Revenue associated with e-commerce sales was not material for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

The Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.4 million in stored-value card redemption revenue for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company also recognized $0.1 million in stored-value card breakage revenue for each of the 13-week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The Company had outstanding stored-value card liabilities of $9.6 million and $9.7 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based upon historical experience, stored-value cards are predominantly redeemed in the first two years following their issuance date.

BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

In the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, the Company recorded, as prepaid expense, estimated right-of-return merchandise cost of $0.5 million and $0.7 million related to estimated sales returns as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and recorded, in accrued expenses, an allowance for sales returns reserve of $1.1 million and $1.5 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. See Note 12 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.

Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net

The Company’s merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted-average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Average cost includes the direct purchase price of merchandise inventory, net of vendor allowances and cash discounts, in-bound freight-related expense and allocated overhead expense associated with the Company’s distribution center.

Management regularly reviews inventories and records valuation reserves for damaged and defective merchandise, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds net realizable value. Because of its merchandise mix, the Company has not historically experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence.

Inventory shrinkage is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical inventory shrinkage trends. The Company performs physical inventories of its stores at least once per year and cycle counts inventories at its distribution center throughout the year. The reserve for inventory shrinkage primarily represents an estimate for inventory shrinkage for each store since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.

These reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from expectations.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows (“asset group”), usually at the store level. The carrying amount of a store asset group includes stores’ property and equipment, primarily leasehold improvements, and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The carrying amount of a store asset group is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the store asset group. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating and cash flow losses, and a projection that demonstrates continuing losses or insufficient income over the remaining reasonably certain lease term associated with the use of a store asset group. Other factors may include an adverse change in the business climate or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator in the market of a store asset group. When stores are identified as having an indicator of impairment, the Company forecasts undiscounted cash flows over the store asset group’s remaining reasonably certain lease term and compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the store asset group. If the store asset group is determined not to be recoverable, then an impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the store asset group exceeds its fair value, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, as contemplated in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

- 10 -

BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The Company determines the cash flows expected to result from the store asset group by projecting future revenue, gross margin and operating expense for each store asset group under evaluation for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include assumptions about sales growth rates, gross margins and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations, competitive factors in its various markets, inflation, sales trends and other relevant environmental factors that may impact the store under evaluation. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. If economic conditions deteriorate in the markets in which the Company conducts business, or if other negative market conditions develop, the Company may experience additional impairment charges in the future for underperforming stores.

The resulting impairment charge, if any, is allocated to the property and equipment, primarily leasehold improvements, and operating lease ROU assets on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. The allocated impairment charge to a long-lived asset is limited to the extent that the impairment charge does not reduce the carrying amount of the individual long-lived asset below its individual fair value. The estimation of the fair value of an ROU asset involves the evaluation of current market value rental amounts for leases associated with ROU assets. The estimates of current market value rental amounts are primarily based on recent observable market rental data of other comparable retail store locations. The fair value of an ROU asset is measured using a discounted cash flow valuation technique by discounting the estimated current and future market rental values using a property-specific discount rate.

The Company did not recognize any impairment charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 or 2024.

Leases

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, information technology (“IT”) systems hardware, and distribution center delivery tractors and equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of ROU assets varies depending upon classification. Finance lease classification results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern over the lease term which amortizes the ROU asset by recognizing interest expense and amortization expense as separate components of lease expense and calculates the amortization expense component on a straight-line basis. Conversely, operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of the ROU asset that equals the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Lease expense for finance and operating leases are included in cost of sales or selling and administrative expense, based on the use of the leased asset, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Variable payments such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance related to triple net leases, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, are expensed as incurred, and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from minimum lease payments and are not recorded on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments. The collateralized IBR is based on a synthetic credit rating that is externally prepared on an annual basis. This analysis considers qualitative and quantitative factors based on guidance provided by a rating agency for the consumer durables industry. The Company adjusts the selected IBR quarterly with a company-specific unsecured yield curve that approximates the Company’s market risk profile. The collateralized IBR is also based upon the estimated impact that the collateral has on the IBR. To account for the collateralized nature of the IBR, the Company utilized a notching method based on notching guidance provided by a rating agency whereby the Company’s base credit rating is notched upward as the yield curve on a secured loan is expected to be lower versus an unsecured loan.

- 11 -

BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. The operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. Under ASC 842, these contingent rents are expensed as they accrue.

See Note 7 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on leases.

(3)

Reportable Segments

The Company has one reportable segment: operating. The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which includes both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online, and whose CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage, with the stores and e-commerce platform offering a similar general product mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar across all sales channels, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. Furthermore, the Company distributes its product mix for both the stores and e-commerce platform from a single distribution center.

The single operating segment derives revenues from customers purchasing goods from both the Company’s retail stores and online. The Company’s product mix includes athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, home recreation, tennis, golf, and winter and summer recreation.

The accounting policies of the single operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The CODM assesses performance for the single operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the income statement as net income or loss.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the operating segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to pay dividends.

Net income is used in monitoring budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.

The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

Impairment of Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024. The Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $0.8 million related to underperforming stores in fiscal 2024. These impairment charges represented property, equipment and leasehold improvements of $0.6 million and ROU assets of $0.2 million and are included in selling and administrative expense in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The lower-than-expected sales performance, coupled with future unfavorable undiscounted cash flow projections, indicated that the carrying value of these stores’ assets exceeded their estimated fair values as determined by their future discounted cash flow projections.

(5)

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their short-term nature. Book overdrafts for checks outstanding are classified as current liabilities in the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. When the Company recognizes impairment on certain of its underperforming stores, the carrying values of these stores are reduced to their estimated fair values.

The Company’s only significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition were assets subject to long-lived asset impairment related to certain underperforming stores. The Company estimates the fair values of these long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable real estate market data of underperforming stores’ specific comparable markets, when available. The Company classifies these fair value measurements as Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for which market data are not available and that are developed using the best information available about pricing assumptions used by market participants in accordance with ASC 820. As of March 30, 2025 there were no assets subject to impairment and as of December 29, 2024, there were $0.8 million of long-lived assets subject to impairment.

Lease Commitments

The Company has operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, IT systems hardware, and distribution center delivery tractors and equipment, and accounts for these leases in accordance with ASC 842.

Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for variable payments for property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance payments related to triple net leases, rental payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease, or rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these leases in the period incurred which, for contingent rent, begins in the period in which it becomes probable that the specified target that triggers the variable lease payments will be achieved.

Long-Term Debt

On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and extend its credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as administrative agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of December 18, 2029 and amends and restates the Company’s prior financing agreement with BofA. Similar to the prior financing agreement, the Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $150.0 million. The Company may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Loan Agreement will have the option to increase the commitment to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, the Company may (with the consent of BofA in its role as the administrative agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The credit facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit.

The Company may borrow under the Loan Agreement from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate committed availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Line Cap”). As defined in the Loan Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory); minus (d) certain agreed upon reserves as well as other reserves established by BofA in its role as the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Loan Agreement as either base rate loans or term SOFR rate loans. The applicable interest rate on borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Line Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as term SOFR rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the tables below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within BofA as its prime rate”, (b) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), or (c) the term SOFR rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%). As set forth below, the applicable margin for all loans is a function of (i) the Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter, and (ii) whether the “Financial Covenant Conversion Date” has occurred by achieving a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for a period of six (6) consecutive months, as measured on a trailing 12-month basis.


Level	Average Daily Availability	Base Rate Applicable Margin	SOFR Rate Applicable Margin
I	Greater than or equal to $112,500,000	0.750%	1.750%
II	Greater than or equal to $70,000,000 but less than $112,500,000	0.875%	1.875%
III	Greater than or equal to $45,000,000 but less than $70,000,000	1.000%	2.000%
IV	Less than $45,000,000	1.125%	2.125%

For the period commencing on the Financial Covenant Conversion Date and continuing thereafter, the applicable margin for all loans is a function of Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter as set forth below.


Level	Average Daily Availability	Base Rate Applicable Margin	SOFR Rate Applicable Margin
I	Greater than or equal to $70,000,000	0.750%	1.750%
II	Less than $70,000,000	1.000%	2.000%

As set forth below, the Loan Agreement requires the Company to pay a commitment fee assessed on the unused portion of the credit facility at the unused line fee rate specified below, which is a function of credit facility utilization, calculated as the daily average revolver usage for the month as a percentage of the applicable commitments during the preceding calendar month.


Through Financial Covenant Conversion Date
Utilization	Unused Line Fee Rate
Greater than or equal to 50%	0.250%
Less than 50%	0.375%


After Financial Covenant Conversion Date
Utilization	Unused Line Fee Rate
Greater than or equal to 50%	0.200%
Less than 50%	0.250%

Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Loan Agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances after the Financial Covenant Conversion Date, and limits the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. The Company may generally declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, the Financial Covenant Conversion Date has occurred, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the credit facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the credit facility, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against the Company, failure to pay when due (or any other default which permits the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company to use BofA and its affiliates as the primary depository institution for all cash management and treasury needs.

As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had long-term revolving credit borrowings outstanding bearing interest at either SOFR or the prime lending rates as shown in the tables below.


	March 30, 2025		December 29, 2024

As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had outstanding letter of credit commitments of $5.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Total remaining borrowing availability, after subtracting letters of credit, was $113.4 million and $130.1 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.

Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded, if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the realizability of deferred tax assets and includes historical information about results of operations for the current and preceding years as well as more subjective information about future years. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was a cumulative loss over the most recent 24-month period, which was not outweighed by available positive evidence and which limited the Company’s projections of future growth. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth. Accordingly, as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, a valuation allowance of $31.5 million and $27.4 million, respectively, was provided against the net amount of deferred tax assets.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for consolidated federal income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2021 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2020 and after.

As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits including those that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate over the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards. During periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the antidilutive effect of potential common shares is disregarded.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:


	13 Weeks Ended
	March 30, 2025			March 31, 2024
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net loss	$	(17,250	)	$	(8,286	)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding:
Basic		22,023			21,832
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents arising from share option and nonvested share awards		—			—
Diluted		22,023			21,832
Basic loss per share	$	(0.78	)	$	(0.38	)
Diluted loss per share	$	(0.78	)	$	(0.38	)
Antidilutive share option awards excluded from diluted calculation		620			227
Antidilutive nonvested share awards excluded from diluted calculation		596			573

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 excludes all potential awards since the Company reported a net loss in each period, and the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive (i.e., including such awards would result in higher earnings per share).

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Recovery of Insurance Proceeds

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, one of the Company’s stores qualified for loss recovery claims due to property damage sustained as a result of a roof collapse, and the Company disposed of assets of approximately $0.4 million related to lost inventory and property and equipment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reached an agreement with its insurance carrier and, after application of a deductible of $0.5 million, the Company received, as part of the insurance recovery, a cash advance of $0.7 million in total, of which $0.6 million related to the reimbursement of lost inventory and profit margin and $0.1 million related to the reimbursement of property and equipment. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 million related to the recovery of lost inventory and profit margin and a gain of $25,000 related to the recovery of property and equipment. The gain related to the recovery of lost inventory and profit margin was included in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to cost of goods sold and the gain related to the recovery of lost property and equipment was included in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to selling and administrative expense for fiscal 2023. No cash recoveries were received in fiscal 2024. Upon completion of all negotiations related to this settlement, the Company received a final cash recovery of $1.0 million in the first week of January 2025, of which substantially all related to the reimbursement of property and equipment. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $25,000 related to business interruption and $0.9 million related to the recovery of property and equipment. The gain related to business interruption was included in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to cost of goods sold and the gain related to the recovery of lost property and equipment was included in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to selling and administrative expense for fiscal 2024.

Share-based Compensation

In June 2022, the Company amended and restated its 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), primarily authorizing an additional 3,300,000 shares available for future grant. As of March 30, 2025, 1,508,177 shares remained registered and available for future grant under the 2019 Plan.

At its discretion, the Company grants share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards to certain employees, as defined by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, under the Company’s 2019 Plan, and accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognized $0.7 million in share-based compensation expense for each of the 13-week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Share Option Awards

Share option awards granted by the Company generally vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments of 25% per year with a maximum life of ten years. The exercise price of share option awards is equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company granted 315,000 and 272,000 share option awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.91 and $2.52 per share option award, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s share option awards is presented below:


	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (In Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 29, 2024		509,660		$	4.67
Granted		315,000			1.18
Forfeited		(3,375	)		4.80
Outstanding at March 30, 2025		821,285		$	3.33		7.97	$	—
Exercisable at March 30, 2025		302,222		$	4.26		5.35	$	—
Vested and Expected to Vest at March 30, 2025		812,727		$	3.34		7.95	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based upon the Company’s most recent closing stock price of $0.97 as of March 30, 2025, which would have been received by the share option award holders had all share option award holders exercised their share option awards as of that date.

BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:


	13 Weeks Ended
	March 30, 2025			March 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate		4.2	%		4.2	%
Expected term	7.5 years			7.5 years
Expected volatility		81.4	%		77.6	%
Expected dividend yield		—			4.1	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s dividend rate at the time fair value is measured and future expectations.

As of March 30, 2025, there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to share option awards granted. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Nonvested Share Awards and Nonvested Share Unit Awards

Nonvested share awards granted by the Company vest for employees from the date of grant in four equal annual installments of 25% per year. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted by the Company to non-employee directors for their service as directors, as defined by ASC 718, generally vest 100% on the earlier of (a) the date of the Company’s next annual stockholders meeting following the grant date, or (b) the first anniversary of the grant date.

Nonvested share awards become outstanding when granted and are delivered to the recipient upon their vesting. Vested share unit awards, including any dividend reinvestments, are delivered to the recipient on the tenth business day of January following the year in which the recipient’s service to the Company is terminated, at which time the units convert to shares and become outstanding. The total fair value of nonvested share awards which vested during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. No nonvested share unit awards vested during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024.

The Company granted 262,980 and 276,660 nonvested share awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of the Company’s nonvested share awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $0.99 and $3.58, respectively. No nonvested share unit awards were granted during the periods presented.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested share awards is presented below:


	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Balance at December 29, 2024		691,800		$	7.24
Granted		262,980			0.99
Vested		(223,685	)		9.81
Forfeited		(8,870	)		7.31
Balance at March 30, 2025		722,225		$	4.17

To satisfy employee minimum statutory tax withholding requirements for nonvested share awards that vest, the Company withholds and retires a portion of the vesting common shares, unless an employee elects to pay cash. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company withheld 90,672 common shares with a total value of $0.1 million. This amount is presented as a cash outflow from financing activities in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

As of March 30, 2025, there was $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. As of March 30, 2025, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share unit awards.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation
El Segundo, California

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 30, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal 13-week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 29, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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

The following discussion and analysis of the Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us”) financial condition and results of operations includes information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (“Interim Financial Statements”) included herein, the Risk Factors included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and our consolidated financial statements, related notes, Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2025 is comprised of 52 weeks and ends on December 28, 2025. Fiscal 2024 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on December 29, 2024. The interim periods in fiscal 2025 and 2024 are each comprised of 13 weeks.

Overview

We are a leading sporting goods retailer in the western United States, with 414 stores and an e-commerce platform under the name “Big 5 Sporting Goods” as of March 30, 2025. We provide a full-line product offering in a traditional sporting goods store format that averages approximately 12,000 square feet. Our product mix includes athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, home recreation, tennis, golf, and winter and summer recreation.

We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs, which could have adverse effects on our net sales and profitability. As a result of the tariffs announced by the U.S. administration and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs by other countries, we are evaluating the impact on our product purchase costs, merchandise margins and supply chain from these rapid changes in global trade policies. The impact of these changes on our financial results is uncertain. If we are unable to pass along increases in product purchase costs to customers, our margins and profitability will decline. Additionally, such macroeconomic conditions may adversely affect consumer sentiment resulting in reduced consumer demand for our product and lower sales. We will continue to evaluate these factors and their potential effects on our financial results.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 we closed eight stores and six stores, respectively. For fiscal 2025, we do not anticipate opening any new stores and we anticipate closing approximately 15 stores (including eight stores that we closed in the first two months of fiscal 2025).

Executive Summary

Our increased net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily reflected the impact of reduced net sales and lower merchandise margins, partially offset by lower distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, and lower store occupancy expense. We believe the decrease in net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 in part reflected significant inflationary pressures which dampened consumer sentiment and reduced demand for discretionary products, as well as lower winter-related product sales due to unfavorable weather comparisons.

•

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 9.2% to $175.6 million compared to $193.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in net sales primarily reflects a decline of 7.8% in same store sales when compared with the first quarter of the prior year. We believe our lower same store sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 in part reflected significant inflationary pressures that negatively impacted consumer demand, lower winter-related product sales due to unfavorable weather comparisons, as well as reduced store count, which contributed to reduced net sales across each of our major merchandise categories of hardgoods, apparel and footwear. Lower year-over-year net sales were partially offset by the favorable impact from a calendar shift related to the Easter holiday.

•

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 represented 30.9% of net sales, compared with 31.2% in the first quarter of the prior year. Our reduced gross profit margin reflected lower merchandise margins and higher store occupancy expense as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by lower distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, as a percentage of net sales. While merchandise margins decreased year over year, they remained healthy and continued to compare favorably to pre-pandemic levels.

•

Selling and administrative expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to $70.8 million, or 40.3% of net sales, compared to $71.4 million, or 36.9% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting decreases in labor expense and reduced credit card fees related to lower sales.

- 22 -

•

Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $17.3 million, or $0.78 per basic share, compared to net loss of $8.3 million, or $0.38 per basic share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increased net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily reflected the impact of reduced net sales, lower merchandise margins and a reduced tax benefit, partially offset by lower distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, and lower store occupancy expense.

•

Operating cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was a negative $15.3 million compared to operating cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 of a positive $8.2 million. The decreased operating cash flow was due primarily to increased funding of merchandise inventory and an increase in net loss year over year.

•

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. We do not anticipate opening any new stores in fiscal 2025, after opening three new stores in the prior year.

•

We had cash of $3.9 million and $12.6 million as of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. We had $30.9 million and zero borrowings under our credit facility as of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Selling and administrative expense includes store-related expense, other than store occupancy expense, as well as advertising, depreciation and amortization, expense associated with operating our corporate headquarters and impairment charges, if any.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $17.8 million, or 9.2%, to $175.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $193.4 million in the first quarter last year. The change in net sales reflected the following:

•

Same store sales decreased by $14.6 million, or 7.8%, for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025, versus the comparable 13-week period in the prior year. We believe the decrease in same store sales reflected the following:

We experienced a continuation of significant and persistent inflationary pressures that dampened consumer sentiment and weakened demand for discretionary products, which negatively affected sales.

Net sales decreases reflected reduced stores in operation, with 414 stores in operation as of March 30, 2025 compared to 424 stores in operation as of March 31, 2024.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025 we experienced lower winter-related product sales due to unfavorable weather comparisons to the same period last year.

Our lower same store sales reflected decreases in our major merchandise categories of hardgoods, apparel and footwear.

Same store sales comparisons are made on a comparable-day basis. Same store sales for a period normally consist of sales for stores that operated throughout the period and the full corresponding prior-year period, along with sales from e-commerce. Sales from e-commerce in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were not material.

•

We experienced decreased customer transactions of 5.3% and a lower average sale per transaction of 2.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year.

•

The decrease in net sales was partially offset by the favorable impact from a calendar shift related to the Easter holiday, during which our stores are closed, from the first quarter in fiscal 2024 to the second quarter in fiscal 2025.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $6.1 million to $54.3 million, or 30.9% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025, compared with $60.4 million, or 31.2% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2024. The change in gross profit was primarily attributable to the following:

•

Net sales decreased by $17.8 million, or an unfavorable 9.2%, compared with the first quarter of last year.

•

Merchandise margins, which exclude buying, occupancy and distribution expense, decreased by an unfavorable 78 basis points compared with the first quarter of last year, primarily reflecting increased promotions, higher clearance sales and shifts in sales mix.

•

Distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, decreased by $3.1 million, or a favorable 119 basis points as a percentage of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year. The decrease primarily reflected increased costs capitalized into inventory, and lower employee labor and benefit-related expense.

•

Store occupancy expense decreased by $0.8 million, but increased by an unfavorable 90 basis points as a percentage of net sales, compared with the first quarter of last year.

Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense decreased by $0.6 million to $70.8 million, or 40.3% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025, compared to $71.4 million, or 36.9% of net sales, in the first quarter of last year. The change in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to the following:

•

Store-related expense, excluding occupancy, decreased by $0.5 million due primarily to reductions in employee labor expense and credit card fees related to lower sales, partially offset by increases in employee benefit-related expense. While employee labor expense decreased by $0.2 million mainly as a result of managing employee labor hours in light of reduced sales, this reduction was partially offset by continuing wage rate pressures that included the incremental impact of legislated minimum wage rate increases primarily in California, where over half of our stores are located, as well as higher demand for labor in certain markets resulting in higher wage rates. Our year-over-year store-related expense comparisons also reflected reduced stores in operation, which declined to 414 stores at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 424 stores at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•

Administrative expense decreased by $0.2 million, primarily attributable to reductions in employee labor and benefit-related expense, other staffing expense and company performance-based incentive accruals, partially offset by higher legal expense.

•

Our advertising expense was up slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 when compared with the prior year and remains less than half of our pre-pandemic expense level.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due primarily to borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 combined with lower interest income.

Income Tax Benefit. The provision for income taxes was a benefit of zero and $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 reflected the establishment of a valuation allowance in fiscal 2024 related to deferred tax assets. See Note 9 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our evaluation of deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility.

As of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we had $3.9 million and $12.6 million of cash, respectively, and $30.9 million in revolving credit borrowings as of March 30, 2025. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended
	March 30, 2025			March 31, 2024
	(In thousands)
Total cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(15,267	)	$	8,213
Investing activities		(741	)		(1,810	)
Financing activities		14,538			(2,983	)
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$	(1,470	)	$	3,420

Operating Activities. Operating cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were a negative $15.3 million and a positive $8.2 million, respectively. The decreased cash flow provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year primarily reflected increased funding of merchandise inventory and an increase in current year net loss compared with the prior year, partially offset by a smaller decrease in accrued expenses mainly related to company performance-based incentive awards.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the periods were $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, excluding non-cash acquisitions, and primarily reflected store-related remodeling, distribution center investments and computer hardware and software purchases. Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 also reflected proceeds related to an insurance recovery of $0.9 million.

Financing Activities. Financing cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were a positive $14.5 million and a negative $3.0 million, respectively. For both periods presented, cash was used to make principal payments on finance lease liabilities and fund dividend payments. No dividends were declared in the current year. Accordingly, dividend payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 reflected only annual payments to employees related to the annual vesting of their accrued but unpaid nonvested share awards, while dividend payments in the same period last year also reflected a dividend declaration of $0.05 per share.

As of March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we had $30.9 million and zero revolving credit borrowings, respectively, and $5.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of letter of credit commitments outstanding.

In the first half of fiscal 2024, we paid two quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. In an effort to provide additional financial flexibility given the uncertain duration of current macroeconomic challenges, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly cash dividend beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As of December 29, 2024, our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) with Bank of America restricted future cash dividend payments until certain fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are met.

Periodically, we have repurchased our common stock in the open market pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors. We may repurchase our common stock for a variety of reasons, including, among other things, our alternative cash requirements, existing business conditions and the current market price of our stock. Our current share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of up to $25.0 million of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the timing and amount of such purchases, if any, would be at the discretion of our management and Board of Directors, and would depend on market conditions and other considerations. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in fiscal 2024 or the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Since the inception of our initial share repurchase program in May 2006 through March 30, 2025, we have repurchased a total of 4,186,014 shares for $53.6 million. As of December 29, 2024, our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) with Bank of America restricted future cash dividend payments until certain fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are met.

- 25 -

Loan Agreement. On December 18, 2024, we entered into an agreement to amend and extend our credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as administrative agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of December 18, 2029 and amends and restates our prior financing agreement with BofA. Similar to the prior financing agreement, the Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $150.0 million. We may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Loan Agreement will have the option to increase the commitment to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, we may (with the consent of BofA in its role as the administrative agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The credit facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit.

We may borrow under the Loan Agreement from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate committed availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Line Cap”). As defined in the Loan Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory); minus (d) certain agreed upon reserves as well as other reserves established by BofA in its role as the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion.

Generally, we may designate specific borrowings under the Loan Agreement as either base rate loans or term SOFR rate loans. The applicable interest rate on borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Line Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as term SOFR rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the tables below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within BofA as its prime rate”, (b) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), or (c) the term SOFR rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%). As set forth below, the applicable margin for all loans is a function of (i) the Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter, and (ii) whether the “Financial Covenant Conversion Date” has occurred by achieving a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for a period of six (6) consecutive months, as measured on a trailing 12-month basis.


Level	Average Daily Availability	Base Rate Applicable Margin	SOFR Rate Applicable Margin
I	Greater than or equal to $112,500,000	0.750%	1.750%
II	Greater than or equal to $70,000,000 but less than $112,500,000	0.875%	1.875%
III	Greater than or equal to $45,000,000 but less than $70,000,000	1.000%	2.000%
IV	Less than $45,000,000	1.125%	2.125%


Level	Average Daily Availability	Base Rate Applicable Margin	SOFR Rate Applicable Margin
I	Greater than or equal to $70,000,000	0.750%	1.750%
II	Less than $70,000,000	1.000%	2.000%


Through Financial Covenant Conversion Date
Utilization	Unused Line Fee Rate
Greater than or equal to 50%	0.250%
Less than 50%	0.375%


After Financial Covenant Conversion Date
Utilization	Unused Line Fee Rate
Greater than or equal to 50%	0.200%
Less than 50%	0.250%

Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of our assets. The Loan Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances after the Financial Covenant Conversion Date, and limits the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. We may generally declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, the Financial Covenant Conversion Date has occurred, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the credit facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the credit facility, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against us, failure to pay when due (or any other default which permits the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events. The Loan Agreement also requires us to use BofA and its affiliates as our primary depository institution for all cash management and treasury needs.

As of March 30, 2025, we had long-term revolving credit borrowings of $30.9 million and letter of credit commitments of $5.7 million outstanding, compared with borrowings of $13.8 million and letter of credit commitments of $6.1 million as of December 29, 2024. Total remaining borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, after subtracting letters of credit, was $113.4 million and $130.1 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.

Future Capital Requirements. We had cash on hand of $3.9 million as of March 30, 2025. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2025, excluding non-cash acquisitions, to range from approximately $4.0 million to $7.0 million primarily to fund store-related remodeling, distribution center investments and computer hardware and software purchases. For fiscal 2025, we do not anticipate opening any new stores and we anticipate closing approximately 15 stores.

We believe we will be able to fund our cash requirements from cash on hand, operating cash flows and borrowings from our credit facility, for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations. Our material contractual obligations include operating lease commitments associated with our leased properties and other occupancy expense, finance lease obligations, borrowings under the credit facility and other liabilities. Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate offices. These leases frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the initial fixed lease term, and we intend to renegotiate most of these leases as they expire. Operating lease commitments also consist of information technology (“IT”) systems hardware, distribution center delivery tractors and equipment. Additional information regarding our operating and finance leases is available in Notes 2 and 7 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In October 2024, we resumed borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025 we had borrowings of $30.9 million under our revolving credit facility.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. Because most of these purchase orders do not contain any termination payments or other penalties if cancelled, they are not included as outstanding contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, we consider our estimates on valuation of merchandise inventory and valuation of long-lived assets to be among the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to these estimates in the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2025.

Seasonality and Impact of Inflation

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results, which can suffer when weather does not conform to seasonal norms. Seasonality in our net sales influences our buying patterns which directly impacts our merchandise and accounts payable levels and cash flows. We purchase merchandise for seasonal activities in advance of a season and supplement our merchandise assortment as necessary and when possible during the season. Our efforts to replenish products during a season are not always successful. In the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season and the start of the winter selling season, we normally experience higher inventory purchase volumes and increased expense for staffing and advertising. If we miscalculate the consumer demand for our products generally or for our product mix in advance of a season, particularly the fourth quarter, our net sales can decline, which can harm our financial performance. A significant shortfall from expected net sales, particularly during the fourth quarter, can negatively impact our annual operating results.

In fiscal 2024 and 2025, we experienced significant inflation in the cost of products that we purchase for resale. While our merchandise inventory costs have been impacted by inflationary pressures, we have generally been able to adjust our selling prices in response to these higher product purchase costs. However, if we are unable to adjust our selling prices for product purchase cost increases that might occur in the future, then our merchandise margins could decline, which would adversely impact our operating results. Additionally, we have begun to evaluate the impact on our product purchase costs and merchandise margins that could result from recent changes in U.S. tariff policy enacted by the current administration and have not yet determined the impact of such changes. In fiscal 2024 and 2025, we experienced broad-based inflationary pressures which adversely impacted many categories of costs and expenses, including increased wage-rate pressures, and which are expected to continue during fiscal 2025.

Because we are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at a reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are providing the following additional risk factor to supplement the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

Tariffs on certain imports to the United States, other potential changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations and policies, and other changes to macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to tariffs on certain imports into the United States and many of the goods we sell are imported from other countries, principally China. Since the beginning of 2025, the U.S. government has announced several different measures regarding tariffs. As the implementation of tariffs is ongoing, more tariffs may be added in the future. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and if we are unable to obtain products or pass product cost increases on to our customers, it could decrease our merchandise margins and operating results. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, discussions remain ongoing with respect to tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Canada and Mexico, as well as retaliatory tariffs enacted in response to such actions. In light of these events, there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. These developments may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. These factors could depress economic activity and limit trade opportunities with our suppliers which, if we are unable to find replacement product through alternative suppliers, could increase our costs and adversely impact our sales and profitability.

Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, including escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures, could result in increased uncertainty and lead to a further decline in consumer sentiment and reduced customer spending, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There have been no other material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.
