Note 7

Legal Proceedings and Other Matters

Environmental Matters

The Company has legacy obligations including environmental monitoring and reporting costs related to: (i) a 2016 Consent Judgment entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency involving the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary from 1965 to 1969 in Garden City, New York; and (ii) a 2010 Consent Decree with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment relating to our former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. We do not expect that future obligations related to either of these sites will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Accrual for Environmental Contingencies

Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, we had accrued $1.9 million as of August 1, 2026, $1.9 million as of January 31, 2026 and $2.0 million as of August 2, 2025. All such provisions reflect our estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted, including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent liabilities for discontinued operations are included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because they relate to former facilities operated by us. We have made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies which were not material for the second quarter of Fiscal 2027 or Fiscal 2026. These charges are included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent changes in estimates.

In addition to the matters specifically described in this Note, we are a party to other legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. While management does not believe that our liability with respect to any of these other matters is likely to have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could have a material adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interchange Fee Settlement

In February 2026, we entered into settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which we were a plaintiff. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, as a result of these lump-sum settlements, we received $13.4 million (net of legal fees) related to payment card interchange fee litigation. This gain is reflected in asset impairments and other, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

IEEPA Tariff Refunds

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Subsequently, on March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to liquidate all non-final entries without regard to IEEPA duties and to refund amounts previously collected, including applicable interest. Additionally, on April 20, 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of the new Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries

tool in the Automated Commercial Environment portal, creating a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims. We successfully submitted our refund claim in the first quarter of Fiscal 2027. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, we received tariff refunds related to our branded businesses, excluding interest, of $21.8 million. The accounting for the IEEPA tariff refund reflects the original treatment of the underlying tariff costs. As such, we recognized a reduction in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we received $0.7 million of interest income related to the tariff refunds in the second quarter of Fiscal 2027. The interest income was recognized within interest, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
