Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, in addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to certain market risks. Interest Rate Risk We are exposed to changes in short-term market interest rates and these changes in rates will impact our net interest expense. Certain cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash generate interest income that will vary based on changes in short-term interest rates. In addition, we have swapped a portion of our fixed-rate debt to floating rate such that the interest expense on this debt will vary with short-term interest rates. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, for further information regarding our interest rate swaps. As of August 1, 2026, we had $2.5 billion of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $0.5 billion of debt that has been swapped to floating rate, and therefore the net asset balance exposed to interest rate changes was $2.0 billion. As of August 1, 2026, a 50-basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $3 million increase in net interest income during the second quarter of fiscal 2027, and conversely a 50-basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $3 million decrease in net interest income during the second quarter of fiscal 2027. 27 Table of Contents Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk We have market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to operations in our International segment. On a limited basis, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure to certain forecasted inventory purchases, recognized receivable and payable balances and our investment in our Canadian operations. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of net earnings and cash flows, as well as to reduce the volatility of net asset value associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
