−Removed: wholesale to direct to consumer, coupled with the other margin initiatives would result in a double-digit percentage point improvement
−Removed: in our gross margin, due to channel mix, over time.
−Removed: product range within skiwear .

−Removed: a lack of economies of scale and higher levels of markdown and discounts.
−Removed: and modify supplier base .
−Removed: We are expecting our supplier base to evolve as we source fabrics and trims more efficiently and introduce
−Removed: new finished good suppliers with better commercial terms (such as lower labor costs or better duty rates due to factories being based

−Removed: in high costs for freight, duty, couriers and other handling costs.

−Removed: We are focused on reducing these costs and expect to see savings
−Removed: over time in freight (for example by using less air freight and more sea freight), lowering duty costs (for example moving production
−Removed: to countries with lower tariffs and opening third party logistic hubs) and reducing broker fees through better processes.
−Removed: Business Strategy
−Removed: Moment sits at the intersection of three large and growing markets (luxury ski apparel, premium outerwear and athleisure and lifestyle).

−Removed: While we believe our brand has achieved substantial traction globally and those who have experienced our products demonstrate
−Removed: loyalty, our presence is relatively nascent in many of our markets.
−Removed: We believe we have a significant opportunity to increase brand awareness
−Removed: and attract new customers to Perfect Moment through word of mouth, brand marketing and performance marketing.
−Removed: the past, Perfect Moment’s strong skiing heritage has been used to engage with a core ski audience for whom we believe the combination
−Removed: of technical performance and retro inspired designs resonate strongly.
−Removed: We believe the nature of skiing as a largely affluent, international
−Removed: pursuit means there is a large opportunity in aspirational, lifestyle-led social media engagement.
−Removed: We believe Perfect Moment has captured

−Removed: collaborations and luxury locations to create a distinct, fun and engaging aspirational lifestyle narrative.
−Removed: Beyond social media, we
−Removed: believe Perfect Moment has been able to deploy this same core brand proposition and narrative to direct digital marketing and traditional
−Removed: media, elevating brand profile and driving high levels of engagement simultaneously.
−Removed: Perfect Moment has also been able to build an effective
−Removed: online marketing engine driving large volumes of direct, organic search and paid search traffic to our ecommerce website, www.perfectmoment.com.
−Removed: Moment expects to continue its approach to social media, building its follower base through a similar and evolving mix of celebrities,
−Removed: influencers, editorials and locations.
−Removed: It also expects to continue to pursue and scale the effective search engine optimization and paid
−Removed: search strategies which have contributed to online sales growth, as well as direct marketing and customer engagement via direct customer
−Removed: communications.
−Removed: Perfect Moment is developing plans to leverage a new Perfect Moment owned physical store network to deepen its brand
−Removed: identity and profile, as well as drive higher levels of loyalty and engagement at the local level.
−Removed: marketing and performance marketing also work together to drive millions of visits to our digital platforms.

−Removed: our community.

−Removed: sales and building a growing customer database.
−Removed: approach this strategy as a funnel, with brand awareness at the top and customer conversion at the bottom, allocating resources across
−Removed: the top, middle and bottom, and measuring returns on these respective investments.
−Removed: Digital Growth
−Removed: used the wholesale channel to establish our brand globally, we believe we will become less reliant on wholesale partners during the next
−Removed: 5 years by committing more resources to our direct-to-consumer strategy and accelerating our digital growth.

−Removed: partnerships are the key underpinning factors in any ecommerce business and as such we will continue to enhance customer experience,
−Removed: focusing on mobile as the dominant growth channel and leveraging the emerging benefits of social and conversational commerce.
−Removed: International Expansion and Enter New Markets
−Removed: believe there is an opportunity to increase penetration across our existing markets and selectively enter new regions.
−Removed: Although the Perfect
−Removed: Moment brand is recognized globally, our past investments have been focused on North America, the United Kingdom and the EU and have
−Removed: driven revenue growth in the United States during the past fiscal year.
−Removed: we expect the majority of our near-term growth to continue to come from the United States, the United Kingdom and the EU, we believe
−Removed: there is a tremendous opportunity over the long term throughout the rest of the world.
−Removed: In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we increased
−Removed: our outreach in what we believe are the most promising countries in continental Europe.
−Removed: As part of the plan to enter new markets, we
−Removed: will start with China, as we seek to enhance our ability to serve our international customers and further establish Perfect Moment as
−Removed: a global brand.
−Removed: believe there is a significant opportunity beyond our existing markets, with China representing the next market opening for Perfect Moment.
−Removed: China is projected to become the largest winter sports market, with people participating expected to reach 50 million by 2025 with 1,000
−Removed: ski resorts to be open by 2030, according to reports by Daxue Consulting and Capital Mind.
−Removed: We allocated a small amount of inventory to
−Removed: test the Chinese market directly in November 2024 on Tmall, using local partners to operate, with a digital approach to selling.
−Removed: originally forecasting to run losses with respect to such activities for two years, then become profitable from the third year of such
−Removed: activities, with China representing less than 10% of our revenue by 2027.
−Removed: The data we now have on this small test has led to exploring
−Removed: partnership models such as a Joint Venture, where we could benefit for local distribution, market expertise and financial support for
−Removed: inventory and marketing.
−Removed: We still believe the most significant hurdle to overcome with respect to our plan to enter the Chinese market
−Removed: is liquidity to fund the initial operating losses.
−Removed: order to offer a more localized experience to customers internationally, we intend to offer market-specific languages, currency and content,
−Removed: as well as strategic international shipping and distribution hubs.
−Removed: We plan to leverage our social media strategy and expand our network
−Removed: of social media ambassadors to grow our brand awareness globally.
−Removed: Our Wholesale Network
−Removed: in the next 5 years we will be mainly focused on accelerating digital growth and our direct-to-consumer channel, we still intend to continue
−Removed: broadening customer access and strengthening our global foothold in new and existing markets by strategically expanding our wholesale
−Removed: network and deepening current relationships.
−Removed: In all of our markets, we have an opportunity to increase sales by adding new wholesale
−Removed: partners and increasing volume in existing retailers.
−Removed: Additionally, we are focused on strengthening relationships with our retail partners
−Removed: through broader offerings, exclusive products and shop-in-shop formats, which are dedicated spaces within another company’s retail
−Removed: store on a short-term rental basis.
−Removed: We believe our retail partners have a strong incentive to showcase our brand as our products drive
−Removed: customer traffic and consistent full-price sell-through in their stores.
−Removed: Our Product Offering
−Removed: to enhance and expand our product offering represents a meaningful growth driver for Perfect Moment.
−Removed: We expect that broadening our product
−Removed: line will allow us to strengthen brand loyalty with the existing Perfect Moment customer base, drive higher penetration in our existing
−Removed: markets and expand our appeal across new geographies.
−Removed: We intend to continue developing our offering through the following strategies.
−Removed: Fall and Winter .
−Removed: Perfect Moment will continue to focus on quality materials and distinctive designs to create luxury products which
−Removed: aim to deliver technical performance and style impact.
−Removed: However, believing that people want to bring the functionality of our ski apparel
−Removed: into their everyday lives, Perfect Moment is broadening the product range beyond the core “on-slope” skiwear to encompass
−Removed: less technical lifestyle products and a wide range of exceptional products for any occasion, including all year-round accessories.
−Removed: Spring and Summer.
−Removed: We intend to continue building our successful Spring and Summer collections in categories such as surfwear, activewear,
−Removed: loungewear and swimwear.
−Removed: We believe offering inspiring new and complementary product categories that are consistent with our values of
−Removed: heritage, functionality and quality and can become part of our core business represents an opportunity to develop a closer relationship
−Removed: with our customers and expand our addressable market.
−Removed: In June 2024, we launched an Ibiza-inspired Summer Capsule Collection across
−Removed: our global eCommerce channels.
−Removed: The collection was highlighted in a photoshoot published in British Vogue featuring photographer, Grace
−Removed: Burns, and models Stella Jones and Paloma Baygual wearing items from the collection.
−Removed: believe this strategy will deliver several benefits:
−Removed: We expect that cross-over into adjacent product markets will increase sales by allowing us to sell outerwear, lifestyle
−Removed: products, activewear and swimwear to non-skiers and cross-sell lifestyle and “off-slope” products to existing skiwear
−Removed: customers in a winter setting.
−Removed: Seasonality .
−Removed: We expect that sales of new lifestyle products as well as activewear and swimwear products will be less concentrated
−Removed: in the winter months and increase revenue from new and existing customers as we grow brand awareness.
−Removed: We believe that our margins will be improved by this strategy as modest price increases across the existing range increase
−Removed: margins dollar for dollar.
−Removed: A greater use of high-margin luxury materials such as cashmere will support price and margin increases,
−Removed: while a move towards more less technically-complex lifestyle pieces will also drive margin improvement.
−Removed: Full price sales with limited
−Removed: promotional activity will further improve margins.
−Removed: the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we restructured and invested in our design, product development, merchandizing and production teams
−Removed: to create a pathway to execute this underpinning strategy.
−Removed: We launched our first spring / summer capsule encapsulating our
−Removed: new strategy at the end of Q1 FY25.
−Removed: We plan to then gradually increase our product offering as we evaluate demand, supply and profitability.
−Removed: Perfect Moment Owned Physical Retail
−Removed: Moment has grown to date without a Perfect Moment owned physical stand-alone store presence.
−Removed: Sales growth has been driven by our wholesale
−Removed: network and online offering.
−Removed: As part of our growth strategy, we believe opening directly operated stores in strategically selected major
−Removed: cities and pop-up stores in strategic ski resorts and high-traffic city locations would provide an excellent opportunity to generate
−Removed: sales in key locations, providing a luxury in-store experience, reflecting the character of the brand and providing an experiential contact
−Removed: point for customers.
−Removed: our product range expands, we see the potential to further grow our community with a physical presence by opening directly operated stores.
−Removed: We already have a physical presence in department stores, operated under wholesale arrangements.
−Removed: Operating Perfect Moment owned stores
−Removed: would provide our community a home for the brand and act as a beacon for new or potential customers, but they also add extra complexity
−Removed: In order to test our retail model, we plan to first establish pop-up locations.
−Removed: We evaluate each potential store location based
−Removed: on lease availability and projected viability, and plan to open popups in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and year-round stores
−Removed: beginning the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:

+Added: or for new capital expenditures or other capital commitments;
+Added: GAAP measures do not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary
+Added: to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
+Added: measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures

−Removed: Company accounts for such awards based on ASC 505 and 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized
−Removed: as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
−Removed: The Company measures fair value as of the grant date for options
−Removed: and warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and for common share awards using a weighted average of the Black Scholes method
−Removed: and probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM).
−Removed: inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant judgment.
−Removed: The fair value of the shares
−Removed: of common and preferred stock has historically been determined by the Company’s management with the assistance of third-party specialists
−Removed: as there was no public market for the common stock.
−Removed: The fair value is obtained by considering a number of objective and subjective factors,

+Added: Actual results may vary from our estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements.
+Added: An accounting policy
+Added: is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
+Added: at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimates
+Added: that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: critical accounting policies, estimates, and judgements are as follows, and see Note 2.
+Added: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included
+Added: in Item 8 of Part II for additional information:
+Added: amount of consideration we receive and recognize as revenue, net across both wholesale and DTC channels varies with changes
+Added: in sales returns and other accommodations and incentives we offer to our customers.
+Added: When we give our customers the right to return products
+Added: or provide other accommodations such as chargebacks and markdowns, we estimate the expected sales returns and miscellaneous claims from
+Added: customers and record sales reserves to reduce revenue, net.
+Added: of March 31, 2025, our sales-related reserves were $0.6 million compared to $0.3 million as of March 31, 2024.
+Added: The most significant
+Added: variable affecting these reserve balances is sales levels.
+Added: As a percentage of Net sales, the sales reserves balances were 2.8% as
+Added: of March 31, 2025 compared to 1.3% as of March 31, 2024.
+Added: The reserve for returns from customers is the component of our sales-related
+Added: reserves most susceptible to estimation uncertainty.
+Added: These estimates are based on 1) historical rates of product returns and claims;
+Added: and 2) events and circumstances that indicate changes to such historical rates are warranted, such as our customers’ inventory positions
+Added: and their anticipated sell-through rates.
+Added: However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may
+Added: differ from our estimates.
+Added: As a result, we adjust our estimates of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration
+Added: we expect to receive changes or when the amount of consideration becomes fixed.
+Added: If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly
+Added: different than the sales reserves established, we record an adjustment to Net sales in the period in which such determination
+Added: Receivable and Credit Losses
+Added: make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting
+Added: from the inability of our customers to make required payments.
+Added: In determining the amount of the reserve, we consider historical levels
+Added: of credit losses and significant economic developments within the retail environment that could impact the ability of our customers to
+Added: pay outstanding balances and make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations.
+Added: Because we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts
+Added: may differ from estimates.
+Added: If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments,
+Added: a larger reserve might be required.
+Added: In the event we determine a smaller or larger reserve is appropriate, we would record a benefit or
+Added: charge to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which such a determination was made.
+Added: Company periodically reviews its inventory for potential excess, obsolescence, or slow-moving items and records reserves as
+Added: necessary to reflect inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
+Added: This assessment is inherently judgmental and considers
+Added: multiple factors including current inventory levels, historical and projected sales trends, seasonality, planned markdowns, and
+Added: liquidation history.
+Added: Management places particular focus on unsold units from prior seasons and styles that have been carried
+Added: forward, taking into account their performance over time and expected sell-through.
+Added: is tracked at the SKU level, and the Company’s provision methodology involves a cross-functional process with the merchandising
+Added: and planning teams to identify items at risk of non-recovery.
+Added: This includes analysis of aged inventory by collection season, unit sales
+Added: velocity, and margin erosion.
+Added: Provisions are updated quarterly and recorded in the period in which such assessments are made.
+Added: account for warrants as either equity- classified or liability classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific
+Added: terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing liabilities from equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC
+Added: The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition
+Added: of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC
+Added: 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net
+Added: cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification.
+Added: This assessment, which
+Added: requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance, modification, and as of each subsequent quarterly
+Added: period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
+Added: issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
+Added: of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
+Added: the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
+Added: Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying
+Added: consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
+Added: We assess the classification of our warrants at each reporting date to
+Added: determine whether a change in classification between equity and liability is required.
+Added: account for share-based payments that involve the issuance of shares of our common stock to employees and non-employees and meet the criteria
+Added: for share-based awards as stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
+Added: We estimate forfeitures and
+Added: apply that to the stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the period an award vests.
+Added: We recognize compensation expense
+Added: for awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
+Added: factors change, and we utilize different assumptions including the probability of achieving performance conditions, share-based compensation
+Added: cost on future award grants may differ significantly from share-based compensation cost recognized on past award grants.
+Added: any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate any remaining unearned share-based
+Added: compensation cost or incur incremental cost.
+Added: Share-based compensation cost affects our compensation and benefits expenses.
+Added: to the below, see Note 11 – Stock Based Compensation to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional detail.
+Added: periods prior to the IPO, we issued stock option awards and restricted stock units to employees and non-employees under the 2021 Equity
+Added: Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”).
+Added: The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes
+Added: option-pricing model in order to measure the compensation cost associated with the award.
+Added: This model incorporates the following assumptions
+Added: the expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the contractual option,
+Added: the risk-free interest rate based upon quoted market yields for United State Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with
+Added: the expected term of the stock options and the expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock.
+Added: fair value of the stock awards issued to employees and nonemployees under the 2021 Plan prior to the IPO was estimated at each grant
+Added: date using the Black-Scholes model which requires the input of the following subjective assumptions:
+Added: (a) length of time grantees will
+Added: retain their vested stock options before exercising them for employees and the contractual term of the option for nonemployees (“expected
+Added: term”), (b) The volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, (c) expected dividends, (d) risk-free interest rate
+Added: over the option’s expected term, and estimated forfeiture rate.
+Added: A summary of our significant assumptions for the pre-IPO
+Added: stock awards is as follows:
+Added: For employees, the expected term is determined using the “simplified” method, as prescribed by the SEC’s
+Added: Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
+Added: 107, Share-Based Payment, to estimate on a formula basis the expected term of the Company’s employee
+Added: stock options, which are considered to have “plain vanilla” characteristics.
+Added: For nonemployees, the expected term represents
+Added: the contractual term of the option.
+Added: The expected volatility was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as the
+Added: Company did not have any trading history for our common stock prior to the IPO.
+Added: dividend yield:
+Added: The expected dividend yield was based on our history and management’s current expectation regarding future
+Added: interest rate:
+Added: The risk-free interest rate was based upon quoted market yields for the United States Treasury instruments with terms
+Added: that were consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
+Added: forfeiture rate:
+Added: The expected forfeiture rate was based on our history and management’s expectation regarding future forfeitures.
+Added: factors change, and we utilize different assumptions, share-based compensation cost on future award grants may differ significantly from
+Added: share-based compensation cost recognized on past award grants.
+Added: Higher volatility and longer expected terms result in an increase to share-based
+Added: compensation determined at the date of grant.
+Added: Future share-based compensation cost will increase to the extent that we grant additional
+Added: share-based awards to employees and non-employees.
+Added: If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities,
+Added: we may be required to accelerate any remaining unearned share-based compensation cost or incur incremental cost.
+Added: Share-based compensation
+Added: cost affects our selling, general and administrative expenses.
+Added: future periods, we expect share-based compensation to increase, due in part to our existing unrecognized share-based compensation and
+Added: as we issue additional share-based awards to continue to attract and retain employees.
+Added: make assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities
+Added: and our uncertain tax positions.
+Added: Our judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into
+Added: account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign
+Added: and domestic tax authorities.
+Added: Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits
+Added: could significantly affect our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards.
+Added: assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the value of a deferred tax asset take into account predictions of the amount and category
+Added: of future taxable income.
+Added: Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could cause our current
+Added: assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred tax assets to be inaccurate.
+Added: Changes in any of the assumptions, judgments
+Added: and estimates mentioned above could cause our actual income tax obligations to differ from our estimates, which could materially affect
+Added: our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
+Added: assumptions, judgement and estimates relative to uncertain tax positions take into account whether a tax position is more likely than
+Added: not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position and the largest benefit
+Added: that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority.
+Added: Changes in tax
+Added: law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly affect our ability to utilize
+Added: our net operating loss carryforwards.
+Added: Contingencies
+Added: are involved in legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters.
+Added: We record contingent
+Added: liabilities when a loss is assessed to be probable and its amount is reasonably estimable.
+Added: If it is reasonably possible that a material
+Added: loss could occur through ongoing litigation, we provide disclosure in the footnotes to our financial statements.
+Added: Assessing probability
+Added: of loss and estimating the amount of probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors, including in some cases judgments about the
+Added: potential actions of third-party claimants and courts.
+Added: Should we experience adverse court judgments or should negotiated outcomes differ
+Added: to our expectations with respect to such ongoing litigation it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
+Added: position, and cash flows.
