Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (“A&F”), a company incorporated in Delaware in 1996, through its subsidiaries (collectively, A&F and its subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company”), is a global, digitally-led omnichannel retailer. The Company offers a broad assortment of apparel, personal care products and accessories for men, women and kids, which are sold primarily through its Company-owned stores and digital channels, as well as through various third-party arrangements.
The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting of three reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income.
The Company’s brand families include Abercrombie brands and Hollister brands. These brands share a commitment to offering unique products of enduring quality and exceptional comfort that allow customers around the world to express their own individuality and style.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include historical financial statements of, and transactions applicable to, the Company and reflect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company has interests in Emirati and Kuwaiti business ventures with Majid al Futtaim Lifestyle L.L.C. (“MAF”), each of which meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The purpose of the business ventures with MAF is to operate stores in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs; therefore, the Company has consolidated the operating results, assets and liabilities of these VIEs, with the noncontrolling interests’ (“NCI”) portions of net income presented as net income attributable to NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the NCI portion of stockholders’ equity presented as NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fiscal year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. This typically results in a fifty-two week year, but occasionally gives rise to an additional week, resulting in a fifty-three week year. Fiscal years are designated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes, as well as the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. All references herein to the Company’s fiscal years are as follows:
Fiscal year Year ended/ending Number of weeks
Fiscal 2024 February 1, 2025 52
Fiscal 2025 January 31, 2026 52
Fiscal 2026 January 30, 2027 52
Interim financial statements
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of November 1, 2025, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in A&F’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 (the “Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K”). The February 1, 2025 consolidated balance sheet data, included herein, were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for Fiscal 2025.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 9
2025 3Q Form 10-Q
Table of Contents
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding a slowing economy, volatility in interest rates, continued inflation, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the imposition of, and changes to, tariffs by the U.S. government and certain trading partners, and geopolitical concerns, all of which could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company reviews recent accounting pronouncements on a quarterly basis and has excluded discussion of those not applicable to the Company and those that did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following table provides a brief description of certain accounting pronouncements the Company has not yet adopted and that could affect the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Description Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
The update requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively.
Other than the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03 - Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
ASU 2025-01 - Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date
The updates require a disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
Other than the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance will not have a impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software The update removes all references to project stages and clarifies that costs may begin to be capitalized once management has authorized the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The update specifies disclosure of capitalized internal-use software balance and accumulated amortization at the balance sheet date, the amortization for the period and a general description of the method used in computing amortization. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes

Supply Chain Finance Program
Under the supply chain finance (“SCF”) program, which is administered by a third party, the Company’s vendors, at their sole discretion, are given the opportunity to sell receivables from the Company to a participating financial institution at a discount that leverages the Company’s credit profile. The commercial terms negotiated by the Company with its vendors are consistent, irrespective of whether a vendor participates in the SCF program. A participating vendor has the option to be paid by the financial institution earlier than the original invoice due date. The Company’s responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated by the Company with each vendor, regardless of whether the vendor sells its receivable to a financial institution. If a vendor chooses to participate in the SCF program, the Company pays the financial institution the stated amount of confirmed merchandise invoices on the stated maturity date, which is typically 60 days from the invoice date. The agreement with the financial institution does not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the SCF program.
As of November 1, 2025 and February 1, 2025, $ 61.7 million and $ 88.4 million of SCF program liabilities were recorded in accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Amounts are reflected as cash used for operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when settled.
3. INTERCHANGE FEE SETTLEMENT
Litigation settlement
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 , the Company entered into a settlement related to the resolution of a payment card interchange fee litigation in which it was a plaintiff. The settlement resulted in a $ 39 million net benefit recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2025. The net benefit is comprised of a $ 43 million settlement benefit recorded within selling expense and a $ 4 million settlement-related expense recorded within general and administrative expense.

Unvested shares related to restricted stock units with performance-based and market-based vesting conditions can be achieved from zero up to 200% of their target vesting amount and are reflected at the maximum vesting amount less any dilutive portion.
6. FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows:
• Level 1—inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are available in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2—inputs are other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly.
• Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The following table provides the three levels of the hierarchy and the distribution of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of November 1, 2025 and February 1, 2025:

Table of Contents
The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consisted of:
• Trust-owned life insurance policies, which were valued using the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies;
• Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which were recorded at cost, approximating fair value, due to the short-term nature of these investments; and
• Derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were valued using quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments, adjusted for counterparty risk.
The Company also holds certain investments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities consist primarily of time deposits with maturities less than one year, which are valued at amortized cost, approximating fair value.

10. INCOME TAXES
The quarterly provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the quarter. The Company’s quarterly provision and the estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variation due to several factors. These factors include variability in the pre-tax jurisdictional mix of earnings, changes in how the Company does business including entering into new businesses or geographies, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in laws, regulations, interpretations and administrative practices, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized and the impact of discrete items. In addition, jurisdictions where the Company anticipates an ordinary loss for the fiscal year for which the Company does not anticipate future tax benefits are excluded from the overall computation of estimated annual effective tax rate and no tax benefits are recognized in the period related to losses in such jurisdictions. The impact of these items on the effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of pre-tax earnings.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, House Resolution 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes, among other provisions, changes to U.S. corporate income tax law impacting the taxation of domestic and international business operations, including permanently extending certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, restoration of accelerated depreciation on capital expenditures, deductible research and experimental expenditures, and modifications to the international tax framework. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Impact of valuation allowances
During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2025, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $ 21.0 million and $ 52.8 million, respectively, of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $ 3.2 million and $ 8.1 million, respectively. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 5.6 million for the establishment of an additional valuation allowance against the remaining net deferred tax assets in Japan.
As of November 1, 2025, the Company had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $ 40.3 million, including $ 15.5 million and $ 11.4 million in the United Kingdom and China, respectively. While the Company believes that these net deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized, it is not a certainty, as the Company continues to evaluate and respond to situations as they emerge. Should circumstances change, the net deferred tax assets may become subject to additional valuation allowances in the future. Additional valuation allowances would result in additional tax expense.
During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2024, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $ 7.7 million and $ 22.3 million, respectively, of pretax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $ 1.2 million and $ 3.4 million, respectively.
As of February 1, 2025, there were approximately $ 8.2 million, $ 5.4 million, and $ 13.4 million of net deferred tax assets in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, respectively.
Share-based compensation

11. BORROWINGS
ABL Facility
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, of Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (“A&F Management”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of A&F, provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $ 500 million (the “ABL Facility”), which matures on August 2, 2029. The terms of the Company’s ABL Facility have remained unchanged from those disclosed in Note 12, “ BORROWINGS ,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.
The Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility as of November 1, 2025 or as of February 1, 2025.
As of November 1, 2025, availability under the ABL Facility was $ 499.5 million, net of $ 0.5 million in outstanding stand-by letters of credit. As the Company must maintain excess availability equal to the greater of 10% of the loan cap or $36 million under the ABL Facility, borrowing capacity available to the Company under the ABL Facility was $ 449.5 million as of November 1, 2025.
Representations, warranties and covenants
The agreements related to the ABL Facility contain various representations, warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, restrict the ability of A&F and its subsidiaries to: grant or incur liens; incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; make investments in certain subsidiaries; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; change the nature of their business; and consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of the assets of the Company or A&F Management to another entity.
Certain of the agreements related to the ABL Facility also contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under these agreements as of November 1, 2025.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage the financial impacts of these exposures. The Company does not use forward contracts to engage in currency speculation and does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the foreign currency exchange rate exposure associated with forecasted foreign-currency-denominated intercompany inventory sales to foreign subsidiaries and the related settlement of the foreign-currency-denominated intercompany receivables. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will either increase or decrease the Company’s intercompany equivalent cash flows and affect the Company’s U.S. dollar earnings. Gains or losses on the foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are used to hedge these exposures are expected to partially offset this variability. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed upon settlement date. These foreign currency exchange forward contracts typically have a maximum term of twelve months. The sale of the inventory to the Company’s customers will result in the reclassification of related derivative gains and losses that are reported in AOCL into earnings.
The Company also uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge certain foreign-currency-denominated net monetary assets/liabilities. Examples of monetary assets/liabilities include cash balances, receivables and payables. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates result in transaction gains or losses being recorded in earnings, as GAAP requires that monetary assets/liabilities be remeasured at the spot exchange rate at quarter-end and upon settlement. The Company has chosen not to apply hedge accounting to these instruments because there are no anticipated differences in the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instruments and the hedged items.
As of November 1, 2025, the Company had outstanding the following foreign currency exchange forward contracts that were entered into to hedge either a portion, or all, of forecasted foreign-currency-denominated intercompany transactions:
(in thousands) Notional Amount (1)
Euro $ 67,823

15. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to allocate resources and assess performance of its business.
The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting of three reportable segments: Americas; EMEA; and APAC. Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income. The Americas reportable segment includes the results of operations in North America and South America. The EMEA reportable segment includes the results of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The APAC reportable segment includes the results of operations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.
The group comprised of the Company’s (i) Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Chief Operating Officer, and (iii) Chief Financial Officer functions as the Company’s CODM. The Company’s CODM manages business operations and evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and operating income (loss) of the segment. The CODM considers actual performance relative to expectations and growth potential to determine the appropriate allocation of resources to each segment.
Net sales by segment are presented by attributing revenues to a physical store location or geographical region that fulfills the order. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributed to the segment. Corporate/other expenses include expenses incurred that are not directly attributed to a reportable segment and primarily relate to corporate or global functions such as design, sourcing, brand management, corporate strategy, information technology, finance, treasury, legal, human resources, and other corporate support services, as well as certain globally managed components of the planning, merchandising, and marketing functions.
The Company reports inventories by segment as that information is used by the CODM in determining allocation of resources to the segments. The Company does not report its other assets by segment as that information is not used by the CODM in assessing segment performance or allocating resources.
The following tables provide the Company’s segment information as of November 1, 2025, February 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024:
