The Company classifies its business into two segments: The Children’s Place U.S. and The Children’s Place International. Included in The Children’s Place U.S. segment are the Company’s U.S. and Puerto Rico-based stores and revenue from its U.S.-based wholesale business. Included in The Children’s Place International segment are its Canadian-based stores, revenue from the Company’s Canadian-based wholesale business, as well as revenue from international franchisees. Each segment includes an e-commerce business located at www.childrensplace.com and www.gymboree.com. The Company also has social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, X, formerly known as Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. Terms that are commonly used in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements are defined as follows: •First Quarter 2024 — The thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 •First Quarter 2023 — The thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023 •Fiscal 2024 — The fifty-two weeks ending February 1, 2025 •Fiscal 2023 — The fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024 •Fiscal 2022 — The fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2023 •SEC — U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission •U.S. GAAP — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States •FASB — Financial Accounting Standards Board •FASB ASC — FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which serves as the source for authoritative U.S. GAAP, except that rules and interpretive releases by the SEC are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As of May 4, 2024, February 3, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the Company did not have any investments in unconsolidated affiliates. FASB ASC 810—Consolidation is considered when determining whether an entity is subject to consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the results of its consolidated operations, consolidated comprehensive loss, consolidated changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and consolidated cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023. The consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024. Certain prior period financial statement disclosures have been conformed to the current period presentation. Liquidity The Company incurred net losses in the First Quarter 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022. As of May 4, 2024, the Company had an Accumulated deficit of $172.7 million and a working capital deficit of $63.6 million, which included borrowings of $226.1 million under its asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) that do not mature until November 2026, pursuant to its credit agreement, dated as of May 9, 2019, (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and the lenders party thereto. The Company had availability under its ABL Credit Facility of $47.7 million. These conditions resulted in the Company seeking additional liquidity to fund its ongoing operations. On May 2, 2024, the Company and its majority shareholder, Mithaq Capital SPC, a Cayman segregated portfolio company (“Mithaq”), entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which Mithaq agreed to provide the Company with a Shariah-compliant senior unsecured credit facility of up to $40.0 million (the “Mithaq Credit Facility”) in accordance with the terms described in “Note 7. Debt” of the consolidated financial statements. The Mithaq Credit Facility will be available to draw on at any time prior to July 1, 2025 to augment the Company’s liquidity position, if needed. The Company plans to address its ongoing liquidity needs with additional financing as necessary. The Company has determined that its existing cash on hand, expected cash generated from operations, and availability under its ABL Credit Facility and the Mithaq Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund its capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the First Quarter 2024 were issued. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is a fifty-two week or fifty-three week period ending on the Saturday on or nearest to January 31. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from the assumptions used and estimates made by management, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and inventory valuation. Recent Accounting Standards Updates In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses during interim and annuals periods. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are designed to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
