Report of Independent registered public accounting firm
To the Plan Participants and the Fiduciary Committee of
The Nebraska Furniture Mart, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Nebraska Furniture Mart, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan 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.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of Form 5500 Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2025, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

PROFIT SHARING PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025 and 2024
The following description of The Nebraska Furniture Mart, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
The Plan, most recently amended September 1, 2025, is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan covering all employees, as defined in the Plan document, as of the start date of the employee. The employees covered under the Plan include those employed by Nebraska Furniture Mart, Inc., Floors, Inc., NFM of Kansas, Inc., NFM Custom Countertops LLC, TXFM, Inc., NFM of Cedar Park, Inc. and NFM Wellness, LLC (collectively the Company or Employer). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Effective July 10, 2017, employees are auto-enrolled, upon hire, at a 4% pre-tax deferral and a 1% auto increase on their anniversary hire date. Prior to July 10, 2017 employees were auto-enrolled at a 3% pre-tax deferral. Each year, participants may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan document. Contributions are subject to certain dollar limitations, as imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Participants also may rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Effective February 24, 2025 participants between the age of 60-63 are allowed to contribute a higher contribution amount to the catch-up contributions as outlined by Secure Act 2.0. Participants direct the investments of employee and Employer contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.
Once an employee has completed one year of service, they are eligible for discretionary matching contributions (Matching Contributions) on the following paycheck after the one year anniversary has been met. In addition, the Company may make additional profit sharing contributions (Profit Sharing Contributions), subject to limitations established by the IRC. No additional Profit Sharing Contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Participants are fully vested in their contributions plus any income or loss thereon. Matching and Profit Sharing Contributions become fully vested according to the following schedule:

E.Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of 50% of their vested account balance relating to participant’s contributions and rollovers under the Plan, or a maximum of $50,000. The notes are secured by the participant’s account balance in the participant’s account and bear interest rates, which are equal to the Prime Rate plus 1%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through biweekly payroll deductions over a period not to exceed five years. Effective September 1, 2016, the Plan only allows general purpose loans that do not exceed a five-year term. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, interest rates ranged from 4.25% to 9.50% and are fixed for the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2025, notes receivable from participants mature between January 2026 and January 2031.
