3. Leases

 

The majority of the Company's leases relate to retail stores and corporate offices. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Most new retail store leases have an original term of a five to ten-year base period and may include renewal options to extend the lease term beyond the initial base period. The extension periods are typically much shorter than the original lease term given the Company's strategic decision to maintain a high level of lease optionality. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. Additionally, the Company may operate stores for a period of time on a month-to-month basis after the expiration of the lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, certain leases contain incentives, such as construction allowances from landlords and/or rent abatements subsequent to taking possession of the leased property.

Operating cash flows for operating leases

 $11,062  $10,216 

 

As of May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the weighted-average remaining operating lease term was 6.3 years and 6.1 years, respectively, and the weighted-average discount rate was 6.9% and 7.2%, respectively, for operating leases recognized on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The value of our operating lease asset was $119.6 million and $92.7 million as of  May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.  The increase was driven by the Company entering into leases for new stores as well as securing longer-term extensions for existing stores resulting in contracts with more favorable terms.

 

For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 the Company incurred no impairment charges against its right-of-use operating lease assets.
