The fair value of money market mutual funds is based on quoted market prices, such as quoted net asset values published by the fund as supported in an active market. Money market mutual funds included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $113.5 million and $204.0 million as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively. Also included in the Company’s money market mutual funds balances were $1.2 million and $12.7 million as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively, which relate to the Company’s restricted cash, and are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for key executives and other members of management, which is funded by investments in officers’ life insurance. The fair value of this obligation is based on participants’ elected investments, which reflect the closing market prices of similar assets.

The Company holds certain investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values. When an upward or downward adjustment occurs, the resulting gains or losses are included in other non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, fixed assets and equity and other investments, are reported at carrying value, or at fair value as of the date of the Company’s acquisition of Petco Holdings, Inc. LLC on January 26, 2016, and are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on a periodic basis (at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If impaired, the carrying values of the assets are written down to fair value using Level 3 inputs.

There were no triggering events identified and no indications of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived trade name, or equity and other investments during the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025. During the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the Company recorded fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairment charges of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
