~~KIRKLAND’S~~THE BRAND HOUSE COLLECTIVE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of business — The Brand House Collective, Inc., formerly known as Kirkland’s, Inc., (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a ~~specialty~~multi-brand ~~retailer~~merchandising, supply chain and retail operator, managing a portfolio of iconic home and ~~décor~~family brands including Kirkland’s Home and ~~furnishings~~Bed inBath ~~the~~& ~~United~~Beyond ~~States~~Inc.’s, ~~operating~~formerly ~~314~~known as Beyond, Inc., (“Beyond”) Bed Bath & Beyond Home, Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy Baby and Overstock. The Company operated 309 stores in 35 states as of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, as well as an e-commerce ~~website~~websites, www.kirklands.com, ~~under~~and ~~the Kirkland’s Home brand~~www.bedbathandbeyondhome.com.

Principles of consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of ~~Kirkland’s~~The Brand House Collective, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kirkland’s Stores, Inc., Kirkland’s DC, Inc., and Kirkland’s Texas, LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025.

Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week ~~period~~and 26-week periods ended ~~May~~August 32, 2025 are not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality factors.

Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks. Accordingly, fiscal 2025 represents the 52 weeks ending on January 31, 2026, and fiscal 2024 represents the 52 weeks ended on February 1, 2025.

Use of estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than those at fiscal year-end.

Changes in estimates are recognized in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include, but are not limited to, impairment assessments on long-lived assets, inventory reserves, self-insurance reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

As of February 1, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement (as defined below). However, the Company’s conclusion that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern required an explanatory paragraph in the report of the independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement on May 2, 2025, when the fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC. On May 7, 2025, the Company received waivers from the lenders under both facilities. As such, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under these agreements based on the contractual maturities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 2, 2025, while most of the Company’s debt was recorded as current as of February 1, 2025.

Note 2 – Related Party

Strategic partnership with Beyond — The Company entered into a strategic partnership with Beyond on October 21, 2024, with the purpose of enabling cohesive collaboration between the companies, leveraging the strengths of each business to drive sustainable profitable growth and value for all stakeholders. As part of this partnership with Beyond, the companies entered into a $17.0 million term loan credit agreement (the “Beyond Credit Agreement”), an $8.0 million subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), a seven-year collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) and a trademark license agreement (the “Trademark License Agreement”). Proceeds of $17.0 million from the Beyond Credit Agreement, in the form of an $8.5 million non-convertible term loan (“Non-Convertible Term Loan”) and an $8.5 million convertible term loan (“Convertible Term Loan”) were used by Kirkland's to repay its existing FILO term loan (“FILO Term Loan”), including prepayment fees and transaction expenses, and to reduce borrowings under Kirkland's existing revolving credit facility. The $8.0 million equity purchase under the Subscription Agreement and the mandatory conversion of the Convertible Term Loan with accrued interest were both approved by Kirkland's shareholders at the Company's Special Meeting of Shareholders on February 5, 2025 in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules resulting in the issuance of 8,934,465 shares of Common Stock to Beyond, which completed the transaction. For further discussion on the agreements with Beyond, refer to “Note 6 — Fair Value Measures”, “Note 10 — Long-Term Debt”, “Note 11 — Subscription Agreement” and “Note 15 — Subsequent Events”.

Collaboration Agreement fees — Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company gave Beyond the right to receive a percentage of future revenues generated by Kirkland’s over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. The sale of a percentage of Kirkland’s future revenue to Beyond has been accounted for as debt financing, as the Company has significant continuing involvement in the generation of the related cash flows. As a result, the Company recorded the proceeds from these fees as debt, which will be accreted in interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the life of the arrangement. The debt was initially recorded at its fair value, net of allocated discount and deferred costs.

Table of Contents

The liability and the related interest expense for these fees are based on the Company’s current estimates of future payments expected to be made over the life of the Collaboration Arrangement. The Company will periodically assess the expected payments using internal projections. To the extent our future estimates of payments are greater or less than previous estimates, the Company will prospectively recognize related non-cash interest expense. For further discussion refer to “Note ~~6 — Fair Value Measures”, “Note 10 — Long-Term Debt” and “Note 15~~2 —– ~~Subsequent~~Related ~~Events”.~~Party

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

Net sales — The Company recognizes revenue at the time of sale of merchandise to customers in its stores. E-commerce revenue is recorded at the estimated time of delivery to the customer. Net sales includes the sale of merchandise, net of returns, shipping revenue, gift card breakage revenue and revenue earned from our private label credit card program and excludes sales taxes.

Sales returns reserve — The Company reduces net sales and estimates a liability for sales returns based on historical return trends, and the Company believes that its estimate for sales returns is a reasonably accurate reflection of future returns associated with past sales. However, as with any estimate, refund activity may vary from estimated amounts. The Company had a liability of approximately $~~814~~790,000, $1.0 million and $1.21 million reserved for sales returns at ~~May~~August 32, 2025, February 1, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, respectively, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The related sales return reserve products recovery asset included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $~~394~~434,000, $517,000 and $~~528~~523,000 at ~~May~~August 32, 2025, February 1, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, respectively.

Deferred e-commerce revenue — E-commerce revenue is deferred until the customer takes possession of the merchandise and the sale is complete, as the Company receives payment before completion of its customer obligations. Deferred revenue related to e-commerce orders that have been shipped but not estimated to be received by customers included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $614,000, $607,000 and $888,000 at May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively. The related contract assets, reflected in inventories, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $324,000, $330,000 and $446,000 at May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively. 9

Deferred revenue related to e-commerce orders that have been shipped but not estimated to be received by customers included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $676,000, $607,000 and $979,000 at August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. The related contract assets, reflected in inventories, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $371,000, $330,000 and $493,000 at August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively.

Gift cards — Gift card sales are recognized as revenue when tendered for payment. While the Company honors all gift cards presented for payment, the Company determines the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift card balances due to long periods of inactivity. The Company uses the redemption recognition method to account for breakage for unused gift card amounts where breakage is recognized as gift cards are redeemed for the purchase of goods based upon a historical breakage rate. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting unredeemed card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, such amounts are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of net sales.

9 Customer loyalty program — The Company has a loyalty program called the K-club that allows members to receive points based on qualifying purchases that are converted into certificates that may be redeemed on future purchases. This customer option is a material right and, accordingly, represents a separate performance obligation to the customer. The related loyalty program deferred revenue included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $1.1 million, $1.5 million, and $1.3 million at August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively.

Note 4 – Income Taxes

For the 13-week periods ended ~~May~~August 32, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $4410,000, or (0.405)% of the loss before income taxes, compared to a benefit of approximately $118,000, or 0.8% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. For the 26-week periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $54,000, or (0.2)% of the loss before income taxes, compared to an expense of approximately $~~311~~193,000, or (30.78)% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. The change in income taxes for the 13-week ~~period~~and 26-week periods ended ~~May~~August 32, 2025, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to changes in valuation allowance adjustments and state income taxes.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities using estimated future tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities, including net operating loss carry forwards. Management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the probability of future taxable income and our historical profitability, among other factors, in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Adjustments could be required in the future if the Company estimates that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized is more than the net amount recorded. Any change in the valuation allowance could have the effect of increasing or decreasing the income tax provision in the condensed consolidated statement of operations based on the nature of the deferred tax asset deemed realizable in the period in which such determination is made. As of ~~May~~August 32, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Note 5 – Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock equivalents outstanding during the applicable periods using the treasury stock method and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to purchase stock were exercised into common stock ~~and~~, if outstanding grants of restricted stock were vested and if the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the currently convertible portion of the convertible notes were issued. Stock options ~~and~~, restricted stock units and the currently convertible portion of the convertible notes that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive, were approximately 15,~~350~~896,000 shares and ~~887~~988,000 shares for the 13-week periods ended ~~May~~August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively, and 3,623,000 and 937,000 shares for the 26-week periods ended August 2, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, respectively.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The revolving line of credit approximates fair value due to the one, three or six-month interest terms. In fiscal 2024, the Company also had a non-depleting collateral trust with the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance provider named as beneficiary. The assets in this trust were invested in financial instruments that would fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, and were approximately $4.8 million and $4.67 million as of February 1, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, respectively, and they were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. On February 19, 2025, the Company dissolved the non-depleting collateral trust and received cash from the trust for the then outstanding balance. The Company posted a $4.3 million letter of credit under the revolving line of credit for the benefit of the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance provider in lieu of the trust.

⁽¹⁾	See “Note 10 — Long-Term Debt” for further discussion of the carrying values.

⁽²⁾	The fair value was estimated using available market information for debt instruments with similar maturities and credit risk.

⁽³⁾	The fair value estimate uses the Company’s estimated future revenue projections over the term of the Collaboration Agreement discounted using current market rates for debt investments with similar maturities and credit risk.

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment using Company-specific assumptions, including forecasts of projected financial information that would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses market participant rents (Level 2 input) to calculate the fair value of right-of-use assets and discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant (Level 2 input) to quantify fair value for other long-lived assets. See “Note 12 — Impairment” for further discussion.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in May 2018 in the Superior Court of California, Miles v. Kirkland’s Stores, Inc. The case has been removed to United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges, on behalf of Miles and all other hourly Kirkland’s employees in California, various wage and hour violations and seeks unpaid wages, statutory and civil penalties, monetary damages and injunctive relief. Kirkland’s denies the material allegations in the complaint and believes that its employment policies are generally compliant with California law. On March 22, 2022, the District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion to certify in its entirety, and on May 26, 2022, the Ninth Circuit granted the plaintiff’s petition for permission to appeal. The appeal was argued before the Ninth Circuit on November 13, 2023, and on January 8, 2024, the Court issued its opinion affirming the District Court in part and reversing in part. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of certification as to the subclasses related to the security bag check and reversed as to the rest break claim. The Ninth Circuit did not find that there is liability nor that the rest break claim is certified. On February 28, 2025, the District Court dismissed this case in its entirety, without prejudice. On May 2, 2025, a complaint was refiled in this matter in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Company continues to believe the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in August 2022 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sicard v. Kirkland’s Stores, Inc. The complaint alleges, on behalf of Sicard and all other hourly store employees based in New York, that Kirkland’s violated New York Labor Law Section 191 by failing to pay him and the putative class members their wages within seven calendar days after the end of the week in which those wages were earned, rather paying wages on a bi-weekly basis. Plaintiff claims the putative class is entitled to recover from the Company the amount of their untimely paid wages as liquidated damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in May 2018 in the Superior Court of California, Miles v. Kirkland’s Stores, Inc. The case was removed to United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges, on behalf of Miles and all other hourly Kirkland’s employees in California, various wage and hour violations and seeks unpaid wages, statutory and civil penalties, monetary damages and injunctive relief. Kirkland’s denies the material allegations in the complaint and believes that its employment policies are generally compliant with California law. On March 22, 2022, the District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion to certify in its entirety, and on May 26, 2022, the Ninth Circuit granted the plaintiff’s petition for permission to appeal. The appeal was argued before the Ninth Circuit on November 13, 2023, and on January 8, 2024, the Court issued its opinion affirming the District Court in part and reversing in part. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of certification as to the subclasses related to the security bag check and reversed as to the rest break claim. The Ninth Circuit did not find that there is liability nor that the rest break claim is certified. On February 28, 2025, the District Court dismissed this case in its entirety, without prejudice. On May 2, 2025, a complaint was refiled in this matter in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Company filed its answer in June 2025, and continues to believe the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

Note 9 – Share Repurchase Plan

On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan providing for the purchase in the aggregate of up to $30.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases of shares are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulatory limitations and other market and economic factors. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plan at any time. For the 1326-week periods ended ~~May~~August 32, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the share repurchase plan. As of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, the Company had approximately $26.3 million remaining under the current share repurchase plan.

Revolving Line of Credit

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as the same has been amended from time to time, the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and lender. The 2023 Credit Agreement amended the previous Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) from a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility to a $90.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The 2023 Credit Agreement contains substantially similar terms and conditions as the 2019 Credit Agreement including a swingline availability of $10.0 million, a $25.0 million incremental accordion feature and extended its maturity date to March 2028. The fee paid to the lenders on the unused portion of the 2023 Credit Agreement is 25 basis points when usage is greater than 50% of the ~~facility~~total commitment amount; otherwise, the fee on the unused portion is 37.5 basis points per annum. As of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, there were $5.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement compared to no outstanding letters of credit outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement as of February 1, 2025 and ~~May~~August 43, 2024.

Advances under the 2023 Credit Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 275 basis points with no SOFR floor. Upon the later to occur of October 21, 2025 or the demonstration that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 on a trailing twelve-month basis, the interest rate permanently decreases on the 2023 Credit Agreement to SOFR plus a margin of 225 basis points. On October 21, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the 2023 Credit Agreement to permit the Beyond Credit Agreement and the Subscription Agreement and to modify the borrowing base calculation and the minimum excess availability covenant.

The Company is subject to a Third Amended and Restated Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) with its lenders. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company pledged and granted to the administrative agent, for the benefit of itself and the secured parties specified therein, a lien on and security interest in all of the rights, title and interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets to secure the payment and performance of the obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

The maximum availability under the 2023 Credit Agreement is limited by (i) a borrowing base formula, which consists of a percentage of eligible inventory and eligible credit card receivables, less reserves, and (ii) an excess required availability covenant, which limits the ~~borrowing~~Company’s ~~base~~ability ~~formula~~to byborrow under the ~~greater~~2023 ofCredit ~~10%~~Agreement. ofOn September ~~the~~15, ~~combined~~2025, ~~borrowing~~the ~~base~~Company ~~formula~~entered orinto ~~$8.0~~a ~~million.

FILO Term Loan

On January 25, 2024, the Company entered into a $12.0 million “first-in, last-out” asset-based delayed-draw term loan (the “FILO Term Loan”) with Gordon Brothers Group, via an affiliate entity, 1903P Loan Agent, LLC, as administrative agent and lender. The indebtedness under the FILO Term Loan was subordinated in most respects to the 2023 Credit Agreement. The FILO Term Loan had a maturity date of March 2028, coterminous with the 2023 Credit Agreement. The interest rate of the FILO Term Loan was one-month term SOFR, plus a margin of 9.50%.

Proceeds from the Beyond Credit Agreement were used by the Company to repay and terminate the FILO Term Loan on October 21, 2024. The Company paid $12.6 million, which consisted of $10.0 million of debt principal and $2.6 million of prepayment penalties. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the termination of the FILO Term Loan of $3.3 million during fiscal year 2024, of which $2.6 million was for the prepayment penalty and the remainder was related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Beyond Credit Agreement

On October 21, 2024, the Company entered into the Beyond Credit Agreement with Beyond, as administrative agent and lender. The Beyond Credit Agreement consists of an $8.5 million Convertible Term Loan that was mandatorily convertible into ~~Kirkland~~The Brand House Collective’s common stock at a price of $1.85 per share for a total of 4,594,594 shares upon the approval of ~~Kirkland~~the Company’s shareholders and an $8.5 million Non-Convertible Term Loan ~~that is non-convertible~~. The maturity date on the Non-Convertible Term Loan is September 30, 2028. The indebtedness under the Beyond Credit Agreement is subordinated to the 2023 Credit Agreement and is not subject to a borrowing base calculation. The Beyond Credit Agreement accrues interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 275 basis points with no SOFR floor. On February 5, 2025, the Company held a Special Shareholders Meeting during which the shareholders approved the issuance of shares of ~~Kirkland'~~the Company’s common stock to Beyond. Following the approval of the shareholders, the $8.5 million Convertible Term Loan with accrued interest converted to 4,610,141 shares of common stock at a price of $1.85 per share.

~~Collaboration~~On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into an additional $5.2 million term loan (the “Additional Term Loan”) with Beyond to provide flexibility for general working capital purposes and for the support of the Company’s updated store conversion strategy. The Additional Term Loan consisted of $5.0 million in cash and $0.2 million in unpaid collaboration fees for the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2025 and any accrued and unpaid interest on the $8.5 million existing term loan. On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment with Beyond to provide the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments (the Convertible Term Loan, the Additional Term Loan and the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, collectively, the “Beyond Term Loans”). In addition, effective May 7, 2025 the agreement also provides Beyond the right to convert any of the outstanding loans under the Beyond Credit Agreement ~~Fees~~into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the closing price on Nasdaq on the day prior to the date on which a conversion election is made, up to a number of shares equal to 19.90% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on May 7, 2025. Beyond has the option to convert up to a greater number of shares, but not more than a number that would result in Beyond, holding for so long as any obligations remain outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement, 75% of the total outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock after such conversion, provided that such conversion would be subject to Nasdaq shareholder approval rules, if applicable.

The Company entered into the Collaboration Agreement with Beyond, which outlines the parties’ intentions to collaborate on numerous operating arrangements. Under the Collaboration Agreement, Kirkland’s will pay Beyond a quarterly collaboration fee equal to 0.25% of Kirkland’s quarterly retail and e-commerce revenue starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and continuing for the remaining seven-year term of the Collaboration Agreement. This fee will extend an additional two years beyond the Collaboration Agreement, if the Beyond Credit Agreement is still outstanding as of the expiration or termination of the Collaboration Agreement. Kirkland’s will also pay to Beyond an incentive fee equal to 1.5% of Kirkland’s incremental growth in e-commerce revenue during the term of the Collaboration Agreement. 15

As payments are remitted to Beyond from the Company, the balance of the liability related to the sale of a percentage of future revenue will be repaid over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. In order to determine the amortization of the liability, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future payments to Beyond over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. The $3.8 million initial liability will be accreted to the total of the payments as interest expense over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. At execution, the estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 19.6%. This estimate contains significant assumptions that impact both the amount recorded at execution and the interest expense that will be recognized over the Collaboration Agreement period. The Company will periodically assess the estimated payments to Beyond and to the extent the amount or timing of such fees is materially different than the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense. The main factor that could materially affect the amount of the payments is changes in the Company’s estimated retail and e-commerce revenue.

Collaboration Agreement Fees

The Company entered into the Collaboration Agreement with Beyond, which outlines the parties’ intentions to collaborate on numerous operating arrangements. Under the original terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company will pay Beyond a quarterly collaboration fee equal to 0.25% of the Company’s quarterly retail and e-commerce revenue starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and continuing for the remaining seven-year term of the Collaboration Agreement. This fee will extend an additional two years beyond the Collaboration Agreement, if the Beyond Credit Agreement is still outstanding as of the expiration or termination of the Collaboration Agreement. The Company will also pay to Beyond an incentive fee equal to 1.5% of the Company’s incremental growth in e-commerce revenue during the term of the Collaboration Agreement.

On May 7, 2025, the existing collaboration fee payable to Beyond of 0.25% of all revenues increased to 0.50% of brick-and-mortar retail revenues only, to capture the expanded brand opportunity, and in connection therewith, the prior 3.0% royalty fee obligation was eliminated. In addition, on May 7, 2025, the Company also entered into a purchase agreement providing for the future sale to Beyond, for a purchase price of $5 million, of Kirkland’s right, title and interest in and to its trademarks and domain names comprised of or containing the element KIRKLAND’S ( the “Kirkland’s Brand”), the consummation of which is conditioned upon the consent of Bank of America, N.A. as the Company's senior lender and the release of all liens on the Kirkland’s Brand including the claims of the Agent under the 2023 Credit Agreement. For further discussion on the purchase agreement with Beyond, refer to “Note 15 — Subsequent Events”.

As payments are remitted to Beyond from the Company, the balance of the liability related to the sale of a percentage of future revenue will be repaid over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. In order to determine the amortization of the liability, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future payments to Beyond over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. The liability will be accreted to the total of the payments as interest expense over the life of the Collaboration Agreement. At execution, the estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 19.6%.

The Company will periodically assess the estimated payments to Beyond and to the extent the amount or timing of such fees is materially different than the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense. The main factor that could materially affect the amount of the payments is changes in the Company’s estimated retail and e-commerce revenue.

General Terms and Conditions

Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement and the Beyond Credit Agreement are subject to certain conditions and contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make payments, a cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, a change in control, certain monetary judgments and bankruptcy and ERISA events. Upon any such event of default, the principal amount of any unpaid loans and all other obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement and the Beyond Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. As of May 3, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants in the 2023 Credit Agreement and the Beyond Credit Agreement. The Company’s conclusion that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern required an explanatory paragraph in the report of its independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement and the Beyond Credit Agreement. The Company received waivers from its lenders under both facilities on May 7, 2025~~, subsequent to quarter end~~. As such, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under these agreements as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~May~~August 32, 2025.

Note 11 – Subscription Agreements

On October 21, 2024, the Company and Beyond entered into the Subscription Agreement. On February 5, 2025, ~~Kirkland~~the Company’s shareholders approved at the Special Shareholders Meeting, Beyond’s purchase of $8 million of ~~Kirkland~~the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.85 per share for a total of 4,324,324 shares. After the $8 million equity purchase and the mandatory conversion of the Convertible Term Loan, Beyond owned approximately 40% of ~~Kirkland~~the Company’s then outstanding common stock. ~~Pursuant to an investor rights agreement,~~ Beyond is ~~subject to a standstill obligation, that among other things, generally restricts Beyond’s ability to acquire more than 40% of the Company’s stock. Beyond is~~ considered a related party due to the significant influence they have over the Company.

On October 18, 2024, the Company and Consensus Securities LLC (“Consensus”), the Company’s financial advisor, entered into a subscription agreement. On February 5, 2025, in connection with completing the Beyond transaction, the Company issued 310,135 shares of common stock to Consensus as partial payment of a $574,000 success fee.

Note 12 – Impairment

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amounts of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances dictate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. This review includes the evaluation of individual under-performing retail stores and the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets related to the stores. Future cash flows are projected for the remaining lease life. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the assets’ fair value and carrying value. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, considering such factors as future sales levels, gross margins, changes in rent and other expenses as well as the overall operating environment specific to that store. The amount of the impairment charge is allocated proportionately to all assets in the asset group with no asset written down below its individual fair value.

The table below sets forth impairment information (in thousands, except store counts) for the periods indicated:

Note 13 – Segment Information

The Company conducts its business activities and reports financial results as one operating segment and one reportable segment, which includes the Company’s store locations and e-commerce operations. Due to its integrated omni-channel strategy, the Company views e-commerce sales as an extension of its physical store locations. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance based on net loss as reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM considers net income (loss) on a monthly basis when assessing performance of the segment. The significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM are consistent with the categories included on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

On May 20, 2025, a tornado hit the Company’s leased Jackson, Tennessee distribution center, causing damage to the Company’s assets and disruptions to the Company's operations, particularly with respect to its e-commerce channel. The Company maintains insurance policies to cover the repair or replacement of the Company’s assets that suffered loss or damage, and the Company is working closely with its insurance carriers to ascertain the full amount of insurance proceeds, net of the deductible on the policies, due to the Company as a result of the damages and the loss the Company suffered. The Company’s insurance policies also provide coverage for interruption to its business, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. At this time, the amount of combined property damage and business interruption costs and recoveries cannot be estimated, but currently the Company is still able to operate in the facility.

As of June 17, 2025, the Company had $38.8 million of outstanding debt and $5.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under its revolving credit facility with no availabilty for borrowing, after the minimum required excess availability covenant, and $13.7 million in term loans to Beyond.

Strategic Partnership with Beyond

We entered into a strategic partnership with Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (“Beyond”) on October 21, 2024, with the purpose of enabling cohesive collaboration between the companies, leveraging the strengths of each business to drive sustainable, profitable growth and value for all stakeholders. As part of this partnership with Beyond, we entered into a $17 million term loan credit agreement (the “Beyond Credit Agreement”), an $8 million subscription agreement (the “Beyond Subscription Agreement”), a seven-year collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) and a trademark license agreement (the “Trademark License Agreement”). Proceeds of $17 million from the Beyond Credit Agreement, in the form of an $8.5 million non-convertible term loan (the “Non-Convertible Term Loan”) and an $8.5 million convertible term loan (the “Convertible Term Loan”) were used by us to repay our existing $12.0 million “first-in, last-out” asset-based delayed-draw term loan (the “FILO Term Loan”), including prepayment fees and transaction expenses, and to reduce borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. Under the Trademark License Agreement, we have the exclusive license to operate small format, neighborhood brick-and-mortar stores and “Shops-within-a-Shop” locations under licensed Beyond-owned trademarks, which include Bed Bath & Beyond Home, Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy Baby and Overstock, and we may sell Bed Bath & Beyond branded merchandise in existing Kirkland’s Home stores.

The $8 million equity purchase under the Beyond Subscription Agreement and the mandatory conversion of the Convertible Term Loan with accrued interest were approved by our shareholders at our special meeting of shareholders on February 5, 2025 (the “Special Shareholders Meeting”) in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules resulting in the issuance of 8,934,465 shares of ~~Kirkland~~the Company’s common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”) to Beyond, which completed the transaction. On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into an additional $5.2 million term loan (the “Additional Term Loan”) with Beyond to provide flexibility for general working capital purposes and for the support of the Company'’s updated store conversion strategy. On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Beyond Credit Agreement which provides the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments to support the Company’s store conversion strategy. The Additional Term Loan, the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and the existing $8.5 million term loan are convertible into shares of ~~Kirkland'~~the Company’s common stock at a price determined at the time of such conversion election, but subject to Nasdaq shareholder approval rules, if applicable. Additionally, on September 15, 2025, the Company received $10 million from Beyond in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on May 7, 2025 and amended on September 15, 2025 with Beyond in which Beyond purchased the Company’s right, title and interest in and to its trademark and domain names comprised of or containing the Kirkland’s Brand. The consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement was conditioned upon obtaining the consent of Bank of America, N.A. and the release of all liens on the Kirkland’s Brand, each of which was obtained and documented in the Fourth Amendment.

For further discussion on the agreements with Beyond, refer to “Note 2 — Related Party”, “Note 6 — Fair Value Measures”, “Note 10 — Long-Term Debt”, “Note 11 — Subscription Agreement” and “Note 15 — Subsequent Events”.

Challenging Macroeconomic Conditions

The macroeconomic environment in which we operate remains uncertain as a result of numerous factors, including inflationary pressures, high interest rates, declines in consumer spending behavior, tariffs and aggressive promotional activity. These negative macroeconomic factors have impacted our business, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity levels over the last several fiscal years. They have also made it difficult to execute our strategic initiatives. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding our plans to mitigate these factors.

For additional information regarding risks related to macroeconomics, liquidity and strategy and strategy execution, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.

Impact of Recent Tornado inon Jackson, Tennessee Distribution Center

On May 20, 2025, a tornado ~~hit~~impacted our leased Jackson, Tennessee distribution center, causing damage to our assets and disruptions to operations, particularly with respect to ~~its~~our e-commerce channel. We maintain insurance policies to cover the repair or replacement of our assets that suffered loss or damage, and we are working closely with our insurance carriers to ascertain the full amount of insurance proceeds, net of the deductible on the policies, due to us as a result of the damages and the loss we suffered. Our insurance policies also provide coverage for interruption to our business, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. In the second quarter of 2025, we incurred expenses of $2.0 million, net of insurance proceeds related to damages caused by the tornado, which included the write-off of damaged inventory which is recorded as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, and freight to move product to temporary storage facilities and professional fees to secure and repair the site which is recorded as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period ended August 2, 2025. At this time, the full amount of combined property damage and business interruption costs and recoveries cannot be estimated, ~~but~~and ~~currently~~accordingly, weno ~~are~~additional ~~still~~amounts, ~~able~~including toamounts ~~operate~~for inpotential ~~the~~insurance ~~facility~~recoveries, have been recorded as of August 2, 2025.

Key Financial Measures

Net sales and gross profit are the most significant drivers of our operating performance. Net sales consists of all merchandise sales to customers, net of returns, shipping revenue associated with e-commerce sales, gift card breakage revenue, revenue earned from our private label credit card program and excludes sales taxes. Gross profit is the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales has five distinct components: merchandise costs (including product costs, inbound freight expenses, inventory shrink and damages), store occupancy costs, outbound freight costs (including both store and e-commerce shipping expenses), central distribution costs and depreciation of store and distribution center assets. Merchandise and outbound freight costs are variable, while occupancy and central distribution costs are largely fixed. Accordingly, gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales can be influenced by many factors including overall sales performance.

Table of Contents

We use comparable sales to measure sales increases and decreases from stores that have been open for at least 13 full fiscal months, including our online sales. We remove closed stores from our comparable sales calculation the day after the stores close. Relocated stores remain in our comparable sales calculation. E-commerce sales, including shipping revenue, are included in comparable sales. Increases in comparable sales are an important factor in maintaining or increasing our profitability.

Operating expenses, including the costs of operating our stores and corporate headquarters, are also an important component of our operating performance. Compensation and benefits comprise the majority of our operating expenses. Operating expenses contain fixed and variable costs, and managing the operating expense ratio (operating expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales) is an important focus of management as we seek to increase our overall profitability. Operating expenses include cash costs as well as non-cash costs, such as depreciation and amortization associated with omni-channel technology, corporate property and equipment, and impairment of long-lived assets. Because many operating expenses are fixed costs, and because operating costs tend to rise over time, increases in comparable sales typically are necessary to prevent meaningful increases in the operating expense ratio. Operating expenses can also include certain costs that are of a one-time or non-recurring nature. While these costs must be considered to fully understand our operating performance, we typically identify such costs separately where significant in the consolidated statements of operations so that we can evaluate comparable expense data across different periods.

20 Net sales. Net sales decreased 12.2% to $75.8 million for the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025 compared to $86.3 million for the prior year period. Comparable sales decreased 9.7%, or $8.1 million, for the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year period. For the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025, e-commerce comparable sales decreased 38.5% compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a store comparable sales increase of 0.4% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in comparable sales was driven by a decrease in consolidated average ticket and a decline in e-commerce traffic that was primarily attributable to the business interruption caused by the tornado which impacted our Jackson, Tennessee distribution center, which was partially offset by an increase in store traffic and conversion. Most merchandise categories performed below prior period levels except for impulse and fragrance, which performed above prior period levels.

Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 420 basis points from 20.5% in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 16.3% in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025. The overall decrease in gross profit margin was due to unfavorable merchandise margin, store occupancy costs and depreciation, partially offset by favorable outbound freight costs and distribution center costs. Merchandise margin decreased approximately 420 basis points from 52.1% in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 47.9% in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025, mainly due to increased promotional activity as well as a 100 basis point impact as a result of damaged inventory due to the Jackson, Tennessee tornado. Store occupancy costs increased approximately 180 basis points to 18.3% of net sales due to the sales deleverage on these fixed costs. Depreciation of store and distribution center assets increased approximately 10 basis points to 1.9% of net sales in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025. Outbound freight costs, including both store and e-commerce shipping expenses, decreased approximately 160 basis points to 5.6% of net sales due to the decline in shipping expense related to the decrease in e-commerce sales and reduced store routes. Distribution center costs decreased 30 basis points to 5.8% of net sales due to reduced operating costs, partially offset by sales deleverage.

Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 430 basis points from 25.1% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 20.7% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025. The overall decrease in gross profit margin was due to unfavorable merchandise margin and store occupancy costs, partially offset by favorable outbound freight costs, distribution center costs, and depreciation. Merchandise margin decreased approximately 380 basis points from 54.9% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 51.1% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025, mainly due to increased promotional activity. Store occupancy costs increased approximately 200 basis points to 17.8% of net sales due to the sales deleverage on these fixed costs. Outbound freight costs, including both store and e-commerce shipping expenses, decreased approximately 130 basis points to 5.3% of net sales due to the decline in shipping expense related to the decrease in e-commerce sales and reduced store routes. Distribution center costs decreased 20 basis points to 5.4% of net sales due to reduced operating costs, partially offset by sales deleverage. Depreciation of store and distribution center assets remained flat at 1.8% of net sales in the second 13 weeks of fiscal 2025.

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits as a percentage of net sales increased approximately 140 basis points from 21.3% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 22.7% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025, primarily due to sales deleverage, partially offset by reductions in store and corporate compensation and benefits costs.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased approximately 140 basis points from 14.4% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2024 to 15.8% in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily related to reduced advertising costs and lower consulting costs as well as $1.3 million of expenses, net of insurance proceeds, to repair the Jackson, Tennessee distribution center.

Income tax expense. We recorded an income tax expense of approximately $54,000, or (0.2)% of the loss before income taxes, during the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025, compared to an income tax expense of approximately $193,000, or (0.8)% of the loss before income taxes, during the prior year period. The change in the tax rate for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to changes in valuation allowance adjustments and state income taxes.

Net loss and loss per share. We reported net loss of $32.0 million, or a loss of $1.44 per diluted share, for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2025 as compared to net loss of $23.3 million, or a loss of $1.79 per diluted share, for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share. These measures are not in accordance with, and are not intended as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe that they provide useful information to analysts and investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operational performance.

We define EBITDA as net loss before income tax expense, interest expense, other income and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to remove asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, (due to the non-cash nature of this expense), severance charges, (as it fluctuates based on the needs of the business and does not represent a normal recurring operating expense), tornado related costs (as these do not represent normal recurring expenses), and any financing related legal or professional fees that, due to their nature, did not qualify for capitalization as deferred debt or equity issuance costs.

21 Adjusted operating loss is defined as operating loss adjusted for asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, tornado related costs and financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization. We define adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, tornado related costs, financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization and the related tax adjustments. We define adjusted loss per diluted share as adjusted net loss divided by weighted average diluted share count.

Adjusted operating loss is defined as operating loss adjusted for asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges and financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization. We define adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization and the related tax adjustments. We define adjusted loss per diluted share as adjusted net loss divided by weighted average diluted share count.

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

⁽³⁾

Consulting and legal fees incurred relating to the Company’s transaction with Beyond that, due to their nature, did not qualify for capitalization as deferred debt or equity issuance costs. Given the magnitude and scope of this strategic transaction, the Company considers the incremental consulting and legal fees incurred not reflective of the ongoing costs to operate its business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements are for working capital and capital expenditures. Working capital consists mainly of merchandise inventories offset by accounts payable, which typically reach their peak by the early portion of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Capital expenditures primarily relate to existing store maintenance, conversions, refreshes and remodels, technology and omni-channel projects, and new or relocated stores. Historically, we have funded our working capital and capital expenditure requirements with internally generated cash and borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility.

In fiscal 2023, we entered into the FILO Term Loan to provide additional liquidity, as internally generated cash and borrowings under our existing asset-based revolving credit facility did not provide enough liquidity to effectively execute our financial turnaround strategy in fiscal 2024. Throughout fiscal 2024, we implemented expense reductions to streamline our cost structure and improve our liquidity profile. The cost-savings initiatives included a reduction in corporate overhead, store payroll, marketing and third-party technology expenses. On October 21, 2024, we entered into the Beyond Credit Agreement and Beyond Subscription Agreement. As part of this partnership, Beyond invested $25 million in us through a combined debt and equity transaction. Proceeds of $17 million from the Beyond Credit Agreement were used by us to repay our FILO Term Loan, including prepayment fees and transaction expenses, and to reduce borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. The $8 million equity purchase under the Beyond Subscription Agreement and the mandatory conversion of the $8.5 million ~~Beyond~~ Convertible Term Loan with accrued interest into Common Stock at a price of $1.85 per share were both approved by ~~Kirkland'~~the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Special Shareholders Meeting on February 5, 2025, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules resulting in the issuance of 8,934,465 shares of Common Stock to Beyond, which completed the transaction. On May 7, 2025, we entered into an Amended Beyond Credit Agreement, which included the Additional Term Loan of approximately $5.2 million for general working capital purposes and support for the Company's updated store conversion strategy. On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Beyond Credit Agreement which provides a $20 million delayed draw term loan to support the Company’s store conversion strategy. Additionally, on September 15, 2025, we received $10 million from Beyond in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on May 7, 2025 and amended on September 15, 2025 with Beyond in which Beyond purchased the Company’s right, title and interest in and to our trademark and domain names comprised of or containing the Kirkland’s Brand. The consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement was conditioned upon obtaining the consent of Bank of America, N.A. and the release of all liens on the Kirkland’s Brand, each of which was obtained and documented in the Fourth Amendment. For additional information about the ~~Amended~~ Beyond ~~Credit~~Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and Asset Purchase Agreement see “Note 15 — Subsequent Events” in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our going concern assessment includes the preparation of cash flow forecasts considering the completed financing transactions, annualized savings from cost-savings initiatives and the impact on profitability and cash flow from operations related to both the current elevated tariffs and the likelihood of challenging macroeconomic conditions that further constrain consumer demand, and these factors collectively suggest insufficient liquidity in the near-term. Due to these uncertainties and the consequences they may have on the projected cash flow in the near-term, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of February 1, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement. However, our conclusion that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern required an explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2025, we received waivers from the lenders under both facilities. As such, we have classified the outstanding borrowings under these agreements asbased ~~long-term~~on ~~debt~~the contractual maturities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~May 3~~August 2, 2025.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or charges that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern, such as charges related to impairment of our assets, the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or other similar adjustments. As of ~~June~~September 1716, 2025, the Company had $3849.80 million of outstanding debt and $5.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under its revolving credit facility with no$10.8 ~~availability~~million available for borrowing, after the minimum required excess availability covenant, and $13.7 million in term loans to Beyond with $20 million available under the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments.

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.1 million and $13.7 million during the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2025 and the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2024, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities depends heavily on operating performance and changes in working capital. The decrease in the amount of cash flows used in operations in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to other assets and liabilities, as we dissolved our non-depleting collateral trust with our workers' compensation and general liability insurance provider, and we received cash from the trust for the outstanding balance. We then posted a $4.3 million letter of credit under the 2023 Credit Agreement for the benefit of our workers' compensation and general liability insurance provider in lieu of the trust. In addition, we had declining inventory levels during the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2025 compared to rising inventory levels during the first 13 weeks of fiscal 2024, mostly due to delayed inventory receipt timing in the current period as we delayed inventory purchases due to the high tariffs. These benefits to operating cash flows were offset by a decline in operating performance. 27

During the first 1326 weeks of fiscal 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1428.52 million, as we borrowed $10.0 million under our FILO term loan, and borrowed a net $418.97 million under our revolving credit facility ~~and paid $0~~.~~4 million in debt issuance costs.~~

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities

On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan providing for the purchase in the aggregate of up to $30.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases of shares are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulator limitations and other market and economic factors. The share repurchase plans do not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plans at any time. For the 1326-week ~~period~~periods ended ~~May~~August 32, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the share repurchase plan. As of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, the Company had approximately $26.3 million remaining under the current share repurchase plan.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
