◦Net sales from physical stores were $112.2 million, an increase of 3.6%. The Company ended the fourth quarter with 223 total stores, a decrease of 17 stores or 7.1%, compared to 240 total stores at the end of the fourth quarter last year. Comparable net sales from physical stores increased by 10.3% relative to the comparable 13-week period ended February 1, 2025. Net sales from physical stores represented 72.3% of total net sales this year compared to 73.5% of total net sales last year.

•Gross profit, including buying, distribution, and occupancy costs, was $51.5 million, or 33.2% of net sales, compared to $38.3 million, or 26.0% of net sales, last year. Product margins improved by 470 basis points primarily due to the combination of higher initial markups and lower markdowns as a result of operating with reduced, more current inventory. Buying, distribution, and occupancy costs improved by 250 basis points, or $1.9 million, collectively, primarily due to decreased occupancy costs associated with reduced store count.
•Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $48.9 million, or 31.5% of net sales, compared to $52.4 million, or 35.6% of net sales, last year.
