Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION A. Nature of Operations Duluth Holdings Inc. (“Duluth Trading” or the “Company”), a Wisconsin corporation, is a lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s casual wear, workwear and accessories sold primarily through the Company’s own omnichannel platform. The Company’s products are marketed under the Duluth Trading name, with the majority of products being exclusively developed and sold as Duluth Trading branded merchandise. The Company identifies its operating segments according to how its business activities are managed and evaluated. The Company continues to report one reportable external segment, consistent with the Company’s omnichannel business approach. The Company’s revenues generated outside the United States were insignificant. The Company has two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class B common stock. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s Class B common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “DLTH.” B. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company consolidates TRI Holdings, LLC (“TRI”) as a variable interest entity (see Note 6 “Variable Interest Entity” for further information). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to January 31 of the following year. Fiscal 2024 is a 53-week period and ends on February 2 , 2025 . Fiscal 2023 was a 52-week period and ended on January 28, 2024. The three months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 represent the Company’s 13-week periods ended April 28, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended April 28, 2024 and April 30, 2023 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations as of and for the three months ended April 28, 2024 and April 30, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2024. C. Impairment Analysis As of April 28, 2024 and for the three months ended, no triggering events or indicators of asset impairment were noted. D. Inventory Inventory, consisting of purchased product, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, under the first-in, first-out method. The significant estimates used in inventory valuation are obsolescence (including excess and slow-moving inventory and lower of cost or market reserves) and estimates of inventory shrinkage. Both estimates have calculations that require the Company to make assumptions and apply judgment regarding a number of factors, including market conditions, the selling environment, historical results and current inventory trends. Inventory is adjusted periodically to reflect current market conditions, which requires management’s judgment that may significantly affect the ending inventory valuation, as well as gross margin. The reserve for inventory shrinkage is adjusted to reflect the trend of historical physical inventory count results. The Company performs its retail store physical inventory counts in July and the difference between actual and estimated shrinkage, recorded in Cost of goods sold, may cause fluctuations in second fiscal quarter results. 10 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) E. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets Prepaid expenses and other assets consist of the following: April 28, 2024 January 28, 2024 (in thousands) Prepaid expenses & other current assets Pending returns inventory, net $ 2,108 $ 2,778 Current software hosting implementation costs, net 3,702 3,353 Other prepaid expenses 11,727 10,357 Prepaid expenses & other current assets $ 17,537 $ 16,488 Other assets, net Goodwill $ 402 $ 402 Intangible assets, net 428 436 Non-current software hosting implementation costs 7,403 6,705 Other assets, net 1,396 1,477 Other assets, net $ 9,629 $ 9,020 F. Seasonality of Business The Company’s business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most apparel businesses. Historically, the Company has recognized a significant portion of its revenue and operating profit in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year due to increased sales during the holiday season. G. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card issuers are typically converted to cash within 2 to 4 days of the original sales transaction and are considered to be cash equivalents. H. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2024. ‎ 11 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 2. LEASES Based on the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company recognizes right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities related to leases on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities reflect the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments and the ROU asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease. The Company leases retail space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2036. Substantially all of these arrangements are store leases. Store leases generally have initial lease terms ranging from five years to fifteen years with renewal options and rent escalation provisions. At the commencement of a lease, the Company includes only the initial lease term as the option to extend is not reasonably certain. The Company does not record leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. When calculating the lease liability on a discounted basis, the Company applies its estimated discount. The Company bases this discount on a collateralized interest rate as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics. In addition to rent payments, leases for retail space contain payments for real estate taxes, insurance costs, common area maintenance, and utilities that are not fixed. The Company accounts for these costs as variable payments and does not include such costs as a lease component. The expense components of the Company’s leases reflected on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations were as follows: Consolidated Statement Three Months Ended of Operations April 28, 2024 April 30, 2023 (in thousands) Finance lease expenses Amortization of right-of-use ‎ assets Selling, general and ‎ administrative expenses $ 838 $ 840 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 409 438 Total finance lease expense $ 1,247 $ 1,278 Operating lease expense Selling, general and ‎ administrative expenses $ 5,093 $ 5,050 Amortization of build-to-suit ‎ leases capital contribution Selling, general and ‎ administrative expenses 321 321 Variable lease expense Selling, general and ‎ administrative expenses 2,922 2,914 Total lease expense $ 9,583 $ 9,563 ‎ 12 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.

The TRI Senior Secured Note is scheduled to mature on October 15, 2038 and requires installment payments with an interest rate of 4.95 %. See Note 6 “Variable Interest Entities” for further information. TRI entered into a promissory note (“TRI Note”) with an original balance of $ 3.5 million. The TRI Note is scheduled to mature in November 2038 and requires annual interest payments at a rate of 3.05 %, with a final balloon payment due in November 2038 . While the above notes are consolidated in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation , the Company is not the guarantor nor obligor of these notes. Credit Agreement On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. The Credit Agreement originally matured on May 14, 2026 and provided for borrowings of up to $ 150.0 million that were available under a revolving senior credit facility, with a $ 5.0 million sublimit for issuance of standby letters of credit, as well as a $ 10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. At the Company’s option, the interest rate applicable to the revolving senior credit facility was a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus the applicable rate of 1.25 % to 2.00 % determined based on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 0.25 % to 1.00 % based on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement was secured by essentially all Company assets and requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a maximum rent adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. On July 8, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which was treated as a modification for accounting purposes. The First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement in order to (i) increase the revolving commitment from $ 150.0 million to $ 200.0 million; (ii) extend the maturity date from May 14, 2026 to July 8, 2027 ; (iii) amend the pricing index to replace BSBY with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate; and (iv) reduce the commitment fee in some instances. As of April 28, 2024 and for the three months then ended, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants contained within the Credit Agreement and the First Amendment. ‎ 14 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.

ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following: April 28, 2024 January 28, 2024 (in thousands) Salaries and benefits $ 3,864 $ 2,692 Deferred revenue 8,105 9,579 Freight 1,588 4,001 Product returns 4,448 5,541 Unpaid purchases of property & equipment 911 765 Accrued advertising 1,521 1,129 Other 5,929 7,223 Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 26,366 $ 30,930 5. FAIR VALUE ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as 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 (i.e., an exit price). The exit price is based on the amount that the holder of the asset or liability would receive or need to pay in an actual transaction (or in a hypothetical transaction if an actual transaction does not exist) at the measurement date. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 1 or Level 3 instruments. The fair value of the Company’s money market account is obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets (Level 1). The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale security was valued based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3), which incorporates the U.S. Treasury yield curve, credit information and an estimate of future cash flows. During the three months ended April 28, 2024, certain changes in the inputs did impact the fair value of the available-for-sale security. The calculated fair value is based on estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s money market account and available-for-sale security and the corresponding amount of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows: April 28, 2024 Cost or Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Estimated Cost Gains Losses Fair Value (in thousands) Level 1 security: Money market funds $ — $ — $ — $ — Level 3 security: Corporate trust $ 5,508 $ — $ ( 710 ) $ 4,798 15 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.

The Company reviews its securities on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment. No other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 28, 2024 or April 30, 2023 . The following table presents future principal receipts related to the Company’s available-for-sale security by contractual maturity as of April 28, 2024.

The fair value was also based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3) based on credit information and an estimate of future cash flows. 6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation , the Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and is therefore deemed the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to 16 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) the VIE. The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary of one variable interest entity (“VIE”) as of April 28, 2024 and January 28, 2024. The Company leases the Company’s headquarters in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin from TRI. In conjunction with the lease, the Company invested $ 6.3 million in a trust that loaned funds to TRI for the construction of the Company’s headquarters. TRI is a Wisconsin limited liability company whose primary purpose and activity is to own this real property. The Company considers itself the primary beneficiary for TRI as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and is expected to receive benefits that are significant to TRI. As the Company is the primary beneficiary, it consolidates TRI and the lease is eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate the trust as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following amounts as a result of the consolidation of TRI as of April 28, 2024 and January 28, 2024: April 28, 2024 January 28, 2024 (in thousands) Cash $ 15 $ 17 Property and equipment, net 22,786 22,941 Total assets $ 22,801 $ 22,958 Other current liabilities $ 49 $ 26 Current maturities of long-term debt 867 847 TRI long-term debt 24,933 25,141 Noncontrolling interest in VIE ( 3,048 ) ( 3,056 ) Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 22,801 $ 22,958 7. LOSS PER SHARE Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260 , Earnings Per Share . Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding restricted stock and are considered only for dilutive earnings per share unless considered anti-dilutive. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation is as follows: Three Months Ended April 28, 2024 April 30, 2023 (in thousands, except per share data) Numerator - net loss attributable to ‎ controlling interest $ ( 7,873 ) $ ( 3,869 ) Denominator - weighted average shares ‎ (Class A and Class B) Basic 33,087 32,865 Dilutive shares — — Diluted 33,087 32,865 Loss per share (Class A and Class B) Basic $ ( 0.24 ) $ ( 0.12 ) Diluted $ ( 0.24 ) $ ( 0.12 ) The computation of diluted loss per share excluded 0.3 million of unvested restricted stock for the three months ended April 28, 2024 and April 30, 2023, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to a net loss. 17 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.

INCOME TAXES For the three months ended April 28, 2024, the Company has utilized the discrete effective tax rate method as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting to calculate its interim tax provision. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method. 19 Table of Contents DULUTH HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) The effective tax rate related to controlling interest was 21 % and 27 % for the three months ended April 28, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The income from TRI was excluded from the calculation of the Company’s effective tax rate, as TRI is a limited liability company and not subject to income taxes. 12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, which include trade and other receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, to record an allowance for credit risk based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, otherwise known as “CECL”. In addition, this guidance changes the recognition for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, which can occur as a result of market and credit risk and requires additional disclosures. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815, and Leases (Topic 842),” (ASU 2019-10”), which provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards and amends the effective dates for certain major new accounting standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities. ASU 2019-10 amends the effective dates for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 30, 2023, the first day of the Company’s first quarter for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2024, the Company’s fiscal year 2023. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual period beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This new guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. 20 Table of Contents
