Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 1, 2026.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2026. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” Based on management’s assessment using the COSO criteria, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 1, 2026. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2026 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, included within this Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in our Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of The Lovesac Company
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of The Lovesac Company (the “Company”) as of February 1, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2026, of the Company and our report dated April 2, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of The Lovesac Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Lovesac Company (the "Company") as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 2, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Barter Arrangements — Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has a bartering arrangement with a third-party vendor, in which the Company repurposes returned open-box inventory in exchange for media credits. Barter sale transactions with commercial substance are recorded at a transaction price based on the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration of the media credits to be received and the revenue is recognized when control of inventory is transferred, which is when the inventory is picked up from the Company’s warehouse. Fair value is estimated using various considerations including the cost of similar media advertising if transacted directly, the expected sales price of product given up in exchange for the media credits, and the expected usage of media credits prior to expiration based on a forecasted media spend subject to media credits under the barter arrangement. For the year ended February 1, 2026, the Company did not recognize any new barter sales in exchange for media credits. The Company recognizes an asset for media credits which is subsequently evaluated for impairment at each reporting period for

Table of Contents
any changes in circumstances. As of February 1, 2026, the Company had $32.6 million of unused media credits and did not recognize any impairment.
We identified the recoverability of the barter credits as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimate and assumptions management makes to determine the forecasted media spend used to evaluate the unused media credits for potential impairment. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimate of the future utilization of media credits.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the barter arrangement included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the assessment of recoverability of the barter credits
• We read the underlying barter transaction agreements
• We tested the realizability of the barter credits, as follows:
◦ Compared management’s estimate of advertising costs to the actual advertising costs incurred for selected promotional campaigns subject to the barter arrangement from the third-party vendor.
◦ Tested the underlying assumptions to management’s analysis to determine their ability to utilize media credits by 1) making inquiries of management related to their projected advertising and media spend that are eligible for use of the barter credits, 2) performing a lookback analysis of total marketing spend and specific marketing spend with the third party vendor, and 3) comparing the forecasts to the amounts included in the overall business forecast as communicated to the Board of Directors.

THE LOVESAC COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
The Lovesac Company (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a technology driven company that designs, manufactures and sells unique, high quality furniture derived through its proprietary "Designed for Life" approach which results in products that are built to last a lifetime and designed to evolve as our customers’ lives do. The Company markets and sells its products through an omni-channel platform that includes direct-to-consumer touch points in the form of our own showrooms and online directly at www.lovesac.com. As of February 1, 2026, the Company operated 278 showrooms located throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 3, 2017, in connection with a corporate reorganization with SAC Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the predecessor entity to the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025 and for the years ended February 1, 2026, February 2, 2025 and February 4, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is determined on a 52/53 week basis ending on the Sunday closest to February 1. Hereinafter, fiscal years ended February 1, 2026, February 2, 2025 and February 4, 2024 are referred to as fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2026 and 2025 were 52-week fiscal years and fiscal 2024 was a 53-week fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis based on historical experience, expectations of future events and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and revise them when necessary in the period the change is determined. Actual results may differ from the original or revised estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue consists substantially of product net sales. The Company reports product net sales net of discounts and recognizes them at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon our delivery to a third-party carrier.
Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenue. The Company recognizes shipping and handling expense as fulfillment activities (rather than a promised good or service) when the activities are performed. Accordingly, the Company records the expenses for shipping and handling activities at the same time the Company recognizes revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of merchandise sold and include inbound freight and tariff costs relative to inventory sold, warehousing, and last mile shipping to our customers. Shipping and handling costs were $ 133.9 million, $ 116.0 million and $ 133.2 million in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are recorded using our historical return patterns, adjusting for any changes in returns policies. The Company records estimated refunds for net sales returns on a monthly basis as a reduction of net sales and cost of sales on the statement of operations and an increase in inventory and customers returns liability on the balance sheet. As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, there was a returns allowance recorded on the balance sheet in the amount of $ 8.5 million and $ 9.2 million, respectively, which was included in accrued expenses, and sales returns of $ 1.9 million and $ 2.4 million, respectively, included in merchandise inventories.

Table of Contents
In some cases, deposits are received before the Company transfers control, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported as customer deposits on the Company's balance sheet. As of February 1, 2026, and February 2, 2025, the Company recorded customer deposit liabilities in the amount of $ 11.5 million and $ 11.3 million, respectively. During fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 11.3 million, $ 8.3 million and $ 6.8 million, respectively, related to customer deposits from fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company offers its products through an inventory lean omni-channel platform that provides a seamless and meaningful experience to its customers in showrooms and through the internet. The Other channel predominantly represents net sales through the use of online and in-store pop-up shops, shop-in-shops, barter inventory transactions, and the Loved by Lovesac program. In-store pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops are staffed with associates trained to demonstrate and sell our product. The following represents net sales disaggregated by channel:
(in thousands) 2026 2025 2024
Showrooms $ 468,007 $ 425,863 $ 437,394
Internet 192,349 196,313 199,778
Other 36,759 58,452 63,093
Total net sales $ 697,115 $ 680,628 $ 700,265
The Company has no foreign operations and its net sales to foreign countries was less than 0.01 % of total net sales in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024.
The Company had no customers that comprise more than 10% of total net sales in fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024. See Note 10. Segment Information for net sales disaggregated by product .
Barter Arrangements
The Company has a bartering arrangement with a third-party vendor. The Company has the option to repurpose returned open-box inventory in exchange for media credits, which are being used to support our advertising initiatives to create brand awareness and drive net sales growth. Barter transactions with commercial substance are recorded at a transaction price based on the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration of the media credits to be received and the revenue is recognized when control of inventory is transferred, which is when the inventory is picked up in our warehouse. Fair value is estimated using various considerations, including the cost of similar media advertising if transacted directly, the expected sales price of product given up in exchange for the media credits, and the expected usage of media credits prior to expiration based on forecasted media spend subject to media credits under the barter arrangement. The Company recognizes an asset for media credits which is subsequently evaluated for impairment at each reporting period for any changes in circumstances. As the barter credits are expected to be utilized at various dates through their expiration dates, the Company classifies the amount expected to be utilized in the next fiscal year as current, which is included in Prepaid expenses, with the remaining balance included as part of Other assets on the balance sheet.
The Company did not recognize any barter sales in exchange for media credits in fiscal 2026. For fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 9.0 million and $ 12.3 million, respectively, of barter sales in exchange for media credits. As of February 1, 2026, and February 2, 2025, the Company had $ 2.2 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively, of unused media credits expected to be utilized in the next fiscal year classified as current, and the remaining balance of $ 30.4 million and $ 31.4 million, respectively, classified as non-current. The credits expire from January 2034 through October 2034 and the Company expects to utilize all credits prior to expiration. The Company did not recognize any impairment for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company's prepaid barter credit primarily results from the utilization of media credits.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has deposits with financial institutions that maintain Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation “FDIC” deposit insurance up to $250,000 per depositor. The portion of the deposit in excess of this limit represents a credit risk to the Company. Due to the high cash balance maintained by the Company, the Company does maintain depository balances in excess of the insured amounts.

Table of Contents
Trade Accounts Receivable, net
Trade accounts receivable are stated at their estimated realizable amount and do not bear interest for which collectability is reasonably assured. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer accounts, considering the customer’s financial condition, and credit history, and general and industry current economic conditions. Trade accounts receivables are evaluated for collectability on a regular basis and an allowance is recorded, if necessary. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when received. Historically, collection losses have been immaterial as a significant portion of the Company’s receivables are related to individual credit card transactions and one wholesale customer. For fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized $ 0.8 million, $ 0.4 million, and $ 1.0 million , respectively, related to bad debt write-offs.
Breakdown of trade accounts receivable is as follows:
(in thousands) February 1, 2026 February 2, 2025
Credit card receivables $ 9,611 $ 11,121
Wholesale receivables 2,054 5,660
Other receivables 68 —
Total trade accounts receivable, net $ 11,733 $ 16,781
The Company had one wholesale customer that comprised 100 % of wholesale receivables at February 1, 2026 and two wholesale customers that comprised 100 % of wholesale receivable at February 2, 2025.
Prepaid Expenses
The Company recognizes payments made for goods and services to be received in the near future as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses consist primarily of barter credits and payments related to income taxes, insurance, rent, credit card fees, marketing, software licenses, and other costs.
Other Current Assets
Other current assets consist primarily of rebate receivables, deposits, and other receivables.
Private Label Credit Card
The Company has an agreement with Synchrony Bank (formerly GE Capital Retail Bank) (“Issuer”) to provide clients with private label credit cards (the “Retailer Program Agreement”) which was amended effective October 1, 2025 to extend the term of the agreement through March 31, 2031. Each private label credit card bears The Lovesac Company brand logo and can only be used at the Company’s Showroom locations or website. The Issuer is the sole owner of the accounts issued under the private label credit card program and absorbs the losses associated with non-payment by the private label card holders and fraudulent charges with specific requirements.
During the term of the Retailer Program Agreement, the Company receives a percentage of private label credit card sales from the Issuer and is also eligible to receive incentive payments for the achievement of certain targets. These funds are recorded within net revenue in the statements of operation. The Company also receives reimbursement funds from the Issuer for certain expenses the Company incurs. These reimbursement funds are used by the Company to fund marketing and other programs associated with the private label credit card and are recorded within net revenue in the statements of operation.
Merchandise Inventories, net
Merchandise inventories are comprised of finished goods which are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted-average method basis. Merchandise inventories consist primarily of foam filled furniture, sectional couches, and related accessories. The Company adjusts its inventory for obsolescence based on historical trends, aging reports, specific identification and its estimates of future retail sales prices. In addition, the Company includes capitalized freight and warehousing costs in inventory relative to the finished goods in inventory.
F-11
Table of Contents
Gift Certificates and Merchandise Credits
The Company sells gift certificates and issues merchandise credits to its customers in the showrooms and through its website. Revenue associated with gift certificates and merchandise credits is deferred until redemption of the gift certificate and merchandise credits. The Company did not recognize any breakage revenue in fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024 as the Company continues to honor all outstanding gift certificates.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Office and showroom furniture and equipment, software and vehicles are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives or lease term, whichever is shorter.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations for the period. The disposals generally relate to the decommissioning of aged assets, remodeled showrooms, and fixtures used during pop-up-shops. Expenditures for major betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified net assets of each business acquired. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment in the fourth fiscal quarter and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company did no t recognize any goodwill impairment charges during fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets with finite useful lives, including patents, trademarks, and other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives of 10 years, 3 years, and 5 years, respectively. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset might not be recovered. There were no impairments during fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024.
Intangible assets, net as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025 consists of (in thousands):

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Our long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and right-of-use assets from leases. Property and equipment includes leasehold improvements, and other tangible assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairment at such time that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recovered. We evaluate for impairment at the individual showroom level, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. When evaluating long-lived assets for potential impairment, we will first compare the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows for the respective long-lived asset. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amounts of the assets, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. We estimate fair value based on future discounted cash flow based on our historical operations of the showroom and estimates of future showroom profitability and economic conditions. These estimates include factors such as sales growth, gross margin, employment costs, lease escalation, and overall macroeconomic conditions, and are therefore subject to variability. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. If required, an impairment loss is recorded for that portion of the assets' carrying value in excess of fair value.
In June 2025, the Company initiated a cost-reduction plan that included the termination of its partnership with Best Buy. As part of this plan, the Company executed the wind down of its Best Buy shop-in-shop locations, with closures and related workforce reductions. This process was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. As a result of the Exit, the Company assessed the recoverability of long-lived assets associated with the affected locations. For fiscal 2026, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 1.5 million related to property and equipment at the shop-in-shop locations. For additional information, see Note 2. Property and Equipment, net .
In fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges associated with long-lived assets.
Product Warranty
Depending on the type of merchandise, the Company offers either a three-year limited warranty or a lifetime warranty. The Company’s warranties require it to repair or replace defective products at no cost to the customer. At the time product revenue is recognized, the Company reserves for estimated future costs that may be incurred under its warranties based on historical experience. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability. Product warranty expense, without any reserve adjustments, was approximately $ 2.7 million, $ 2.5 million, and $ 2.0 million in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024. Warranty reserve was $ 3.0 million and $ 2.4 million as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively, which was included in accrued expenses.
Leases
The Company leases its office, warehouse facilities and retail showrooms under operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through March 2040. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are expensed as incurred over the lease term in the Statements of Operations.
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on our right to control the use of an identified asset and our right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that identified asset. Operating right-of-use assets represents the right to use an underlying asset pursuant to the lease for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the possession date. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. We combine lease and non-lease components for our showroom real estate leases in determining the lease payments subject to the initial present value calculation.
F-13
Table of Contents
The lease payments are discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable for most of the Company's leases, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We determine incremental borrowing rates quarterly as of the last day of each prior fiscal quarter provided by a third party valuation specialist.
We recognize operating lease cost over the estimated term of the lease, which includes options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised, starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to the showroom opening. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the fixed rent, we recognize the related operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain of our lease agreements include variable lease payments, such as payments based on a percentage of net sales that are in excess of a predetermined level and/or increases based on a change in the consumer price index or fair market value. These variable lease payments are excluded from minimum lease payments and are included in the determination of net lease cost when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If an operating lease asset is impaired, the remaining operating lease asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the accounts.
Cost of Merchandise Sold
Cost of merchandise sold includes the direct cost of sold merchandise; inventory shrinkage; inventory adjustments due to obsolescence, including excess and slow-moving inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value reserves; inbound freight; freight costs to ship merchandise to our showrooms, and warehousing and all logistics costs associated with shipping product to our customers. Certain competitors and other retailers may report gross profit differently than we do, by excluding from gross profit some or all of the costs related to their distribution network and instead including them in selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, the reporting of our gross profit and profit margin may not be comparable to other companies.
The primary drivers of our cost of merchandise sold are raw materials costs, labor costs in the countries where we source our merchandise, and logistics costs. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and use product markdowns to efficiently sell these products. The timing and level of markdowns are driven primarily by customer acceptance of our merchandise.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs, other than advertising and marketing expense and depreciation and amortization, not included in cost of merchandise sold. These expenses include all payroll and payroll-related expenses; showroom expenses, including occupancy costs related to showroom operations, such as rent and common area maintenance; occupancy and expenses related to many of our operations at our headquarters, including utilities, equity based compensation, financing related expenses; public company expenses; customer financing fees; and credit card transaction fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales is usually higher in lower volume quarters and lower in higher volume quarters because a significant portion of the costs are relatively fixed.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are charged to expense in the period incurred. Research and development expense were $ 7.0 million, $ 8.4 million, and $ 7.7 million in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
Employee Benefit Plan
In February 2017, the Company established The Lovesac Company 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) with elective deferrals beginning May 1, 2017. The 401(k) Plan calls for elective deferral contributions, safe harbor matching contributions and profit sharing contributions. All employees of the Company will be eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan in the month following one (1) month of service and the employee is over age 21. Participants are able to contribute up to 100 % of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan subject to limitations with the IRS. Employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 were approximately $ 2.2 million, $ 2.1 million, and $ 1.6 million, respectively.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses include digital, social, and traditional advertising that covers all of our business channels. All advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or upon the release of the initial advertisement. Total advertising expenses were $ 75.1 million, $ 77.4 million, and $ 82.3 million in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
Showroom Preopening and Closing Costs
Non-capital expenditures incurred in preparation for opening new retail showrooms are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company continually evaluates the profitability of its showrooms. When the Company closes or relocates a showroom, the Company incurs unrecoverable costs, including the net book value of abandoned fixtures and leasehold improvements, lease termination payments, costs to transfer inventory and usable fixtures and other costs of vacating the leased location. Such costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the 2017 Equity Plan which provides for awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. All awards shall be granted within 10 years from the effective date of the 2017 Equity Plan. Vesting is typically over a three or four-year period and is contingent upon continued employment with the Company on each vesting date.
The fair value of the restricted stock units is determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date and the expense is recognized over the service period. For performance based restricted stock units, the number of units received will depend on the achievement of financial metrics relative to the approved performance targets. For performance based restricted stock units, stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on expected achievement of performance targets. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as non-current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or receipt) of cash beyond one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision for income taxes.
Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements and on net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.
A valuation allowance is provided for that portion of deferred income tax assets not likely to be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares, including unvested restricted stock units, stock options, and warrants. Diluted net income per common share includes, in periods in which they are dilutive, the effect of those potentially dilutive securities under the treasury stock method, where the average market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise prices for the respective periods. In periods of loss, there are no potentially dilutive common shares to add to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and they were considered to be not applicable or the adoption of such pronouncements will not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, amending existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. We adopted this ASU for fiscal 2026, on a retroactive basis. See Note 4. Income Taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Intangibles-Goodwill and Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which updates the cost capitalization threshold for internal-use software developments costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its Condensed Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Disaggregation of income statement expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. This accounting standards update will be effective for us for fiscal year 2028 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $ 14.9 million, $ 14.3 million, and $ 12.2 million in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
In June 2025, the Company initiated a cost-reduction plan that included the termination of its partnership with Best Buy. As part of this plan, the Company executed the wind down of its Best Buy shop-in-shop locations (the "Exit"), with closures and related workforce reductions. This process was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. As a result of the Exit, the Company assessed the recoverability of long-lived assets associated with the affected locations. For fiscal 2026, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 1.5 million related to property and equipment at the shop-in-shop locations.
The impairment was determined by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. As the carrying amounts were not recoverable, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using a discounted cash flow model based on historical performance and expected future profitability. These impairment charges are included within selling, general and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations.
As part of the Exit, the Company incurred severance and other one-time employee termination benefits, as well as costs associated with decommissioning the Best Buy shop-in-shop locations. These costs did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

At February 1, 2026, the Company had $ 10.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes. At February 2, 2025, the Company did no t have any net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes. The Company has approximately $ 6.4 million and $ 4.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards as of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, respectively. The state net operating losses expire at various times between 2032 and 2040. The statute of limitations has expired for all tax years prior to 2022 for federal and state tax purposes. However, the net operating losses generated on the Company's federal and state tax returns in prior years may be subject to adjustments by the federal and state tax authorities.
As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the Company did not record a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, due to its assessment and conclusion that it is more likely than not that it would realize its net deferred tax assets.
A reconciliation of beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 is as follows:
2026 2025 2024
Gross unrecognized tax benefit, beginning of period $ 375 $ 452 $ —
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 45 65 177
Additions related to tax positions in prior year 1 — 275
Settlements related to tax positions in a prior period — — —
Decreases based on tax positions in a prior period — ( 142 ) —
Gross unrecognized tax benefit, end of period $ 421 $ 375 $ 452
The Company recognizes only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and establishes tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $ 0.4 million at each reporting date. The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments relating to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months; however, the ultimate outcome of tax matters is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur. We had no material interest or penalties during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, approximately $ 0.4 million will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. Our policy is to record interest and penalties directly related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the statements of operations.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has concluded the audit of the Company's fiscal 2019 federal income tax return as of February 4, 2024. During fiscal 2025, the Company filed amended federal and state income tax returns for fiscal 2022 and 2023 as a result of the IRS audit settlement. The amended returns did not have a material impact to the financial statements.
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures as incurred and instead required taxpayers to capitalize and amortize them over five or 15 years beginning in 2022. For fiscal 2025 and 2024, due to the capitalization of research and development expenditures, the Company’s current federal taxable income increased by approximately $ 7.5 million and $ 9.0 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase in the Company’s deferred tax assets.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA includes various changes to U.S. federal income tax law, including extensions of several expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for year ended February 1, 2026. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the new legislation on its consolidated financial statements as additional guidance is issued.

Legal Proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, as well as certain other non-ordinary course proceedings, claims and investigations, as described below. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable and an estimate of the loss or range of losses arising from the proceeding can be made, we disclose such an estimate, if material. If such a loss or range of losses is not reasonably estimable, we disclose that fact. We review any such loss contingency provisions at least quarterly and adjust them to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. We recognize insurance recoveries, if any, when they are probable of receipt. All associated costs due to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, are expensed as incurred. Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. It is possible that our financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such legal proceedings.
As previously disclosed, the Company voluntarily self-reported to the SEC information concerning the internal investigation of the accounting matters that led to the restatement of its previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year ended January 29, 2023 and our unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarterly periods ended April 30, 2023, October 30, 2022, July 31, 2022 and May 1, 2022. As a result of self-reporting, the Company was the subject of a non-public investigation by the SEC. The Company cooperated fully with the SEC in its investigation, and on October 29, 2024, the Company agreed to a settlement to resolve the claims against it. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Lovesac agreed to the entry of a final judgment ordering it to pay a $ 1.5 million civil penalty and imposing a permanent injunction against future violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the associated rules thereunder.

On December 19, 2023, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers related to the restatement of certain of the Company’s financial statements. The suit, captioned Gutknecht v. The Lovesac Company , No. 3:23-cv-1640, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and alleges that all defendants violated Sections 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 and that the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint generally alleges that the Company made certain misrepresentations or failed to disclose certain accounting errors related to the restatement of its financial statements and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were deficient. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, an unspecified amount of damages and attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs. On March 11, 2024, the court appointed Susan Cooke Peña as Lead Plaintiff and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as Lead Counsel. On May 29, 2024, the parties entered into a term sheet to settle the action, subject to various conditions, including execution of a definitive settlement agreement, filing of the definitive agreement with the court, and court approval. The parties executed the definitive settlement agreement on July 30, 2024. The court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement on August 1, 2024, authorized dissemination of notice to the class, and scheduled a fairness hearing. On December 9, 2024, the Court entered an order approving final settlement of the litigation, including dismissing the lawsuit and releasing all claims in exchange for a settlement payment by the Company (the “Approval Order”). On December 10, 2024, the Court entered judgment dismissing the litigation on the merits and with prejudice according to the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement and the Approval Order. During fiscal 2025, the settlement was recognized within selling, general and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations and paid in full.
On July 29, 2024, a putative shareholder derivative action captioned Getz v. Nelson, No. 3:24-cv-1260, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors. Two similar shareholder derivative actions, captioned Valle v. Dellomo, No. 3:24-cv-1327, and McKinnon v. Nelson, No. 3:24-cv-1343, were filed in the same court against the same defendants on August 19, 2024, and August 21, 2024, respectively. The cases assert claims on behalf of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Exchange Act, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and aiding and abetting primary violations. The factual allegations underlying those claims are similar to those alleged in the securities class action. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, an unspecified amount of damages and attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs. On September 20, 2024, the Court consolidated the three lawsuits under the caption In re The Lovesac Company Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 3:24-cv-01260-VAB (i.e., the “Derivative Action”). On May 19, 2025, the parties signed a definitive agreement to settle the Derivative Action. On June 2, 2025, plaintiffs’ counsel filed an unopposed motion seeking preliminary approval of the settlement. On June 3, 2025, the Court granted the motion for preliminary approval. On October 2, 2025, the Court approved the settlement as submitted by the parties, concluding the litigation.
On March 21, 2024, a putative class action complaint related to the Company’s pricing was filed against the Company. The lawsuit, captioned Nguyen v. The Lovesac Company , was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, and was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The complaint generally alleges that the Company falsely advertised discounts on certain products. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an unspecified amount of monetary damages, including treble damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief related to the Company’s sales practices, and attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other expenses. On June 24, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss. On July 15, 2024, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On August 12, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint. On November 26, 2024, the court entered an order to stay all proceedings in the case in light of a mediation of the dispute scheduled for January 23, 2025. The parties were unable to come to an agreement at the January 23, 2025 mediation. On February 7, 2025, the court unstayed the proceedings in the case for the purpose of ruling on the Company's pending motion to dismiss. On March 28, 2025, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss with leave to amend, but dismissed the plaintiff's request for equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without leave to amend. On April 18, 2025, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. On June 2, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s second amended complaint. The Company’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s second amended complaint is pending a decision by the Court. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss from this proceeding.

Note 8. Financing Arrangements
Revolving Line of Credit
On February 6, 2018, the Company established a $ 25.0 million line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells"). On March 25, 2022, the Company amended the credit agreement to extend the maturity date to March 25, 2024, and among other things, increase the maximum revolver commitment from $ 25.0 million to $ 40.0 million, subject to borrowing base and availability restrictions. Availability is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The amended agreement contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain undrawn availability under the credit facility of at least 10 % of the lesser of (i) the aggregate commitments in the amount of $ 40.0 million and (ii) the amounts available under the credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Our credit agreement includes a $ 1.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $ 4.0 million sublimit for swing line loans.
Under the amended line of credit, the Company may elect that revolving loans bear interest at either a base rate or a term SOFR based rate, plus, in either case, a margin determined by reference to our quarterly average excess availability under the line of credit and ranging from 0.50 % to 0.75 % for borrowings accruing interest at a base rate and from 1.625 % to 1.850 % for borrowings accruing interest at term SOFR. Swing line loans will at all times accrue interest at a base rate plus the applicable margin. The lower margins described above will apply initially and will adjust thereafter from time to time based on the quarterly average excess availability under the line of credit.
On March 24, 2023, the Company amended the credit agreement to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2024. On July 29, 2024, the Company amended the credit agreement to, among other things, add an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company, subject to certain customary conditions, increase the size of the revolving credit facility by $ 10.0 million and extend the maturity date of the loans made under the credit agreement from September 30, 2024 to July 29, 2029.
As of February 1, 2026 and February 2, 2025, the Company’s borrowing availability under the line of credit with Wells was $ 36.0 million and $ 32.6 million, respectively, there were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit, and the Company was in compliance with required covenants.
Note 9. Stockholders' Equity
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the Second Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Equity Plan") which provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance based restricted stock units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. All awards shall be granted within 10 years from the effective date of the 2017 Equity Plan. In fiscal 2025, the 2017 Equity Plan was amended to increase the shares of our common stock authorized and reserved for issuance by 1,100,000 shares, which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Equity Plan to 3,979,889 shares of common stock.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Performance-based restricted stock units ("PSU awards") granted under the 2017 Equity Plan are generally subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a performance-based vesting condition. PSU awards will vest upon the achievement of specified performance targets established at the beginning of the performance period and subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. The stock-based compensation expense relating to PSU awards is recognized over the requisite service period when it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied.
In March 2023, Shawn Nelson, our Chief Executive Officer, received a one-time performance and retention long-term incentive grant of 235,000 Restricted Stock Units (the “RSU Grant”) pursuant to the 2017 Equity Plan and Mr. Nelson’s Restricted Stock Units Agreement and Grant Notice (the “RSU Agreement”). The RSU Grant vests on the later to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant so long as, (x) on or prior to such date (subject to certain limited extensions), the Company has achieved a specified level of performance with respect to share price and net sales, and (y) Mr. Nelson remains in continuous service with the Company as Chief Executive Officer through such date; or (ii) if the specified level of performance with respect to net sales is not achieved on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, but the other conditions in subclause (i) are achieved, the first date that such specified level of performance with respect to net sales is achieved, so long as it is achieved on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the date of grant and so long as Mr. Nelson

remains in continuous service with the Company through such date. Except in the event of termination of employment as defined in the 2017 Equity Plan, the RSU Grant will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting date. The RSU grant was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model to account for the path dependent market conditions that stipulate when and whether or not the options shall vest. The grant date fair value of the RSU Grant was $ 4.4 million. The expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the explicit service period.
The following table summarizes the Company's PSU awards activity during fiscal 2026:
Number of shares Weighted average grant date fair value
Unvested at February 2, 2025 960,055 $ 23.94
Granted 330,314 19.87
Forfeited ( 212,395 ) 27.26
Vested ( 30,980 ) 21.56
Unvested at February 1, 2026 1,046,994 $ 22.05
During fiscal 2025 and 2024, 606,063 and 657,494 PSU awards were granted with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $ 21.28 and $ 26.38 , respectively. During fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, the total fair value of PSU awards vested was $ 0.7 million, less than $ 0.1 million, and $ 6.6 million, respectively.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
Time-based restricted stock units ("RSU awards") granted under the 2017 Equity Plan are generally subject to only a service-based vesting condition. RSU awards vest equally over three years on the anniversary date of the grant date if employed at the time of vesting. The valuation of these RSU awards is based solely on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes the Company's RSU awards activity during fiscal 2026:
Number of shares Weighted average grant date fair value
Unvested at February 2, 2025 328,947 $ 24.96

Forfeited ( 43,867 ) 20.79
Vested ( 164,496 ) 27.06
Unvested at February 1, 2026 504,488 $ 20.37
During fiscal 2025 and 2024, 241,571 and 179,184 RSU awards were granted with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $ 21.93 and $ 26.94 , respectively. During fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, the total fair value of RSU awards vested was $ 4.5 million, $ 3.6 million, and $ 3.1 million, respectively.
Stock Options
In June 2019, the Company granted 495,366 non-statutory stock options to certain officers of the Company with an exercise price of $ 38.10 per share.

The options vested and became exercisable on June 5, 2022 as the officers were still employed on that date. All expenses associated with the stock options were recognized in prior years.
During fiscal 2026, 110,081 stock options were forfeited related to a former officer and director's termination of service; no other stock options were issued, exercised, or canceled. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, there were no stock options issued, exercised, canceled or forfeited.

Common Stock Warrants
On June 29, 2018, the Company issued 281,750 warrants with a five-year term and an average exercise price of $ 19.20 to Roth Capital Partners, LLC as part of the underwriting agreement in connection with the Company's IPO. Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis, where the holders receive fewer shares of common stock in lieu of a cash payment to the Company. As of January 29, 2023, the weighted average contractual life of the 281,750 outstanding warrants was 0.4 years. In fiscal 2024, Roth Capital Partners, LLC performed a cashless exercise of all 281,750 remaining outstanding warrants resulting in 74,592 net shares issued. As of February 1, 2026, no warrants remain outstanding.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 11, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a $ 40.0 million share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, privately negotiated transactions and accelerated share repurchase. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases, if any, will be at our sole discretion and will be dependent on market conditions, liquidity, applicable securities laws, and other factors. We may suspend or discontinue the share repurchase program at any time. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company, if any, is not guaranteed. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or periodically without prior notice.
During fiscal 2026 and 2025, we repurchased and subsequently retired 306,325 and 777,713 shares of common stock, costing $ 6.0 million and $ 19.9 million, respectively, including broker commissions and fees. The Inflation Reduction Act imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of stock repurchases. During fiscal 2026 and 2025, the excise tax on net share repurchases was not material.
As of February 1, 2026, and February 2, 2025, the share repurchase program had $ 14.1 million and $ 20.1 million in remaining authorized funds, respectively.
On March 26, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal period, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $ 40.0 million of our outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program. As a result, total remaining availability under the share repurchase program increased to $ 54.1 million.
Note 10. Segment Information
Segments are reflective of how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews operating results for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. The CODM group of the Company is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the President.
F-25
Table of Contents
The Company markets and sells its products through an omni-channel platform that provides a seamless and meaningful experience to its customers across multiple channels. The Company has one operating segment which aligns with the way our CODM group evaluates performance and allocates resources within the Company. As the Company's products and sales channels are complementary and analyzed in the same manner, the Company operates its business as one operating segment and therefore it has one reportable segment.
The CODM group regularly receives financial information presented on an entity-wide basis. The CODM group uses net sales and net income as reported on the statements of operations to allocate resources, assess performance of our business, and evaluate earnings generated in deciding where to reinvest profits into its single reportable segment. Net sales and net income are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The significant expenses considered by the CODM group in evaluating the performance of our business are consistent with the financial information included on the Company's statements of operations. There are no additional expense categories and amounts that meet the definition of significant expense items that are regularly provided to the CODM group and included in net income. The CODM group may also evaluate financial performance based on net income adjusted for certain items that are unusual and non-recurring. While management uses these additional adjusted metrics in assessing and allocating resources to our business, management recognizes that US GAAP principles are the basis of our performance.
The Company’s net sales by product which are considered one reportable segment are as follows:
2026 2025 2024
Sactionals $ 634,792 $ 621,898 $ 637,388
Sacs 42,587 48,798 51,719
Other (1)
19,736 9,932 11,158
Total net sales $ 697,115 $ 680,628 $ 700,265
(1) Includes our new product platform Snugg.
Interest income, net is as follows:
2026 2025 2024
Interest income, net (1)
1,303 2,800 1,747
(1) Interest income, net is included in Interest and other income, net on the statements of operations.
As the Company discloses a single reportable segment, total net sales is reported in the statements of operations, segment assets are reported in the balance sheets, and capital expenditures are reported in the statements of cash flows. The Company has material long-lived assets, as stated on the balance sheet, with immaterial long-lived assets located in foreign countries. The accounting policies of the reported segment are the same as those described in Note 1. Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Note 11. Subsequent Events
Supreme Court Tariff Ruling
In February 2026, the Supreme Court of the U.S. issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. To preserve its rights to recover such duties, the Company has filed a complaint and a protective action with the U.S. Court of International Trade ("CIT") seeking a full refund of all tariffs paid under the invalidated IEEPA authorities. Following the Supreme Court decision, the U.S. Administration announced a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, subject to certain carveouts. At this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the total financial impact of this ruling, however it, and any additional tariffs, may materially affect the Company’s future results of operations and cash flows.

Table of Contents
In the event the Company receives a refund of tariffs previously paid, it may elect to return a portion of such amounts to vendors that provided the Company tariff relief and/or price concessions. Any such obligations would be assessed based on commercial considerations, and could reduce any benefit from a refund.
