We invest in publicly traded mutual funds with readily determinable fair values. These Marketable Securities are designed to mitigate volatility in our Consolidated Statements of Income associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. As of August 1, 2026, these Marketable Securities were principally invested in equity-based mutual funds, consistent with the allocation in our deferred compensation plan. To the extent there is a variation in invested funds compared to the total non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability, such fund variance is managed through a stable value mutual fund. We classify these Marketable Securities as current assets because we have the ability to convert the securities into cash at our discretion and these Marketable Securities are not held in a rabbi trust. Changes in these Marketable Securities and deferred compensation plan liabilities are charged to SG&A.

(1) Included in the mark-to-market activity related to equity securities still held at quarter-end, we recognized unrealized gains of $350,000 and $903,000 for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, and unrealized gains of $466,000 and $809,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively.

The fair values of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued and Other Liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Testing

We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the expected future cash flows to be derived from their use. Assets are grouped, and the evaluation is performed, at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a store level. Store level asset groupings typically include Property and Equipment and Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, net of the current and long-term portions of Operating Lease Liabilities. Assets subject to impairment are adjusted to estimated fair value and, if applicable, an impairment loss is recorded in SG&A. If the Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset is impaired, we would amortize the remaining right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

We estimate the fair value of our long-lived assets using store specific cash flow assumptions discounted by a rate commensurate with the risk involved with such assets while incorporating marketplace assumptions. Our estimates are derived from an income-based approach considering the cash flows expected over the remaining lease term for each location. These projections are primarily based on management’s estimates of store-level sales, exercise of future lease renewal options and the store’s contribution to cash flows and, by their nature, include judgments about how current initiatives will impact future performance. We estimate the fair value of Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets using the market value of rents applicable to the leased asset, discounted using the remaining lease term.

External factors, such as the local environment in which the store is located, including store traffic and competition, are evaluated in terms of their effect on sales trends. Changes in sales and operating income assumptions or unfavorable changes in external factors can significantly impact the estimated future cash flows. An increase or decrease in the projected cash flow can significantly impact the fair value of these assets, which may have an effect on the impairment recorded. If actual operating results or market conditions differ from those anticipated, the carrying value of certain of our assets may prove unrecoverable and we may incur additional impairment charges in the future.

In the normal course of business, we recorded $396,000 of impairment charges on four stores during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2026. No impairment charges were recorded during the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2025.

As described in Note 2 - “CEO Transition and Related Strategic Review”, we recorded $8.3 million in long-lived asset impairment charges, other Property and Equipment write-offs and other charges in our SG&A during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026. Of those charges, $6.3 million were associated with long-lived asset impairments at seven stores. Thus, during the twenty-six weeks ended

August 1, 2026, we recorded impairment charges of $6.7 million on 11 stores. No impairment charges were recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2025.

 

No impairments of Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets were recorded in any of these periods.
