Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

May 02, 2026

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) associated with reporting of interim period financial information. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2025 Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (“Fiscal Year 2025”) in preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. J.Jill operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday that is closest to January 31. Each fiscal year generally is comprised of four 13-week fiscal quarters, although in the years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter represents a 14-week period. The fiscal year ending January 30, 2027 (“Fiscal Year 2026”) and Fiscal Year 2025 are both comprised of 52 weeks.

In the opinion of management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for Fiscal Year 2026. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our 2025 Annual Report.

Restricted Cash

The Company's restricted cash balance represents an imprest cash account used to fund employee healthcare costs. The balance of restricted cash as of May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 was $0.4 million, which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):


	For the Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	36,297	$	31,245
Restricted cash reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets		363		363
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	36,660	$	31,608

Accounts Receivable

The beginning balances at January 31, 2026 for accounts receivable arising from contracts with customers was $4.3 million with ending balances included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The beginning balances at February 1, 2025 for accounts receivable arising from contracts with customers was $5.0 million with ending balances included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s accounts receivable relates primarily to payments due from banks for credit and debit card transactions for approximately 2 to 5 days of sales. These receivables do not bear interest. The Company occasionally sells inventory to liquidators, and if these sales occur near the end of a reporting period, they are also included in Accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) consists of the direct costs of sold merchandise, which include customs, taxes, tariffs, duties, commissions and inbound shipping costs, inventory shrinkage, and adjustments and reserves for excess, aged and obsolete inventory. COGS does not include distribution center costs and allocations of indirect costs, such as occupancy, depreciation, amortization, or labor and benefits.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, occupancy costs, information systems costs and other operating expenses related to our stores and operations at the headquarters, including utilities, depreciation and amortization. These expenses also consist of marketing expense, including catalog production and mailing costs, warehousing, distribution and outbound shipping costs, customer service operations, consulting and software services, natural disasters, professional services and other administrative costs.

Cloud-Based Software Arrangements

The costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements hosted by third party vendors are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase, and recognized as Prepaid expenses and other current assets for the current portion or Other assets for the long-term portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Implementation costs are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related cloud service, beginning on the date the related software or module is ready for its intended use. The amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs is recorded as a component of Selling, general, and administrative expenses, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, the same line item as the expense for the associated hosting arrangement. The carrying value of cloud computing implementation costs are tested for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that the asset might be impaired. Cloud computing arrangement implementation costs are classified within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026, the Company amortized $0.6 million of cloud-based software implementation costs. For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company amortized $0.5 million of cloud-based software implementation costs.

As of May 2, 2026, the Company had $9.7 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $0.6 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $9.1 million, made up of $2.6 million recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $6.5 million recorded within Other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had $11.3 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $2.2 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $9.1 million, made up of $2.4 million recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $6.7 million recorded within Other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Change in Accounting Estimate

Effective in the first quarter of 2025, the Company revised its methodology for estimating the Direct sales returns reserve. Previously, the reserve was calculated based on catalog offer code tracking data. After upgrading its Order Management System (“OMS”) in March 2025, the Company transitioned to a curve-based model that aligns with the methodology used to estimate returns for its Retail channel. The new model is expected to provide a more accurate reflection of customer return behavior.

Additionally, in the first quarter of 2025, the Company reduced the allowable return window for Direct and Retail sales from 90 to 60 days, which also impacted the estimate of expected returns. The Company further revised its methodology for estimating the Retail sales returns reserve in the third quarter of 2025. The Company no longer includes an exchange assumption to better align the reserve with the data provided under its new OMS. These changes have been accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and applied prospectively in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The impact of these changes is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No.

2025-12, Codification Improvements. This update makes technical corrections and clarifications to the Codification, including conforming amendments and editorial changes. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This update clarifies certain interim reporting requirements and is intended to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments relate primarily to the presentation and disclosure of interim financial information. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its interim financial reporting.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” This ASU modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software by eliminating references to project-stage phases and clarifying when capitalization should begin. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. These standards provide guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative”. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative. This guidance will be applied prospectively with the effective date for each amendment to be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosures from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending amendments will not become effective for any entity. The Company is assessing what impact this guidance will have on its disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table and disaggregated information related to income taxes paid. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit), and (2) removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. The Company adopted this ASU during the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 and updated its disclosures accordingly.
