(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Description of the Business

("Sycamore") owns a majority of the voting power of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s outstanding common stock. Torrid Parent Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on June 4, 2019 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Holdings Inc. Torrid Intermediate LLC, formerly known as Torrid Inc., is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 18, 2019 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Parent Inc. Torrid LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Intermediate LLC. Substantially all of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s financial position, operations and cash flows are generated through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Torrid LLC.

Throughout these financial statements, the terms "Torrid," "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and similar references refer to Torrid Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and each fiscal year is generally comprised of four 13-week quarters (although in years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter is comprised of 14 weeks). Fiscal year 2023 is a 53-week year and fiscal year 2022 was a 52-week year. Fiscal years are identified according to the calendar year in which they begin. For example, references to "fiscal year 2023" or similar references refer to the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024. References to the second quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 and to the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively, refer to the 13- and 26-week periods then ended.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim periods, the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, or for any future fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at January 28, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Torrid and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Description of Business

We are a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and accessories in North America aimed at fashionable women who are curvy and wear sizes 10 to 30. We generate revenues primarily through our e-Commerce platform www.torrid.com and our stores in the United States of America, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Segment Reporting

We have determined that we have one reportable segment, which includes the operation of our e-Commerce platform and stores. The single segment was identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources. Revenues and long-lived assets related to our operations in Canada and Puerto Rico during the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, and as of the end of the same periods, were not material, and therefore are not reported separately from domestic revenues and long-lived assets.

Store Pre-Opening Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the opening of new stores, store remodels or relocations are expensed as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We incurred $0.3 million and $0.6 million of pre-opening costs during the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, respectively. We incurred $0.3 million and $0.5 million of pre-opening costs during the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, respectively.

Change in Accounting Principle

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we made a voluntary change in our accounting policy regarding the classification of royalties, profit-sharing and marketing and promotional funds ("PLCC Funds") we receive pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement (as defined below). Historically, we recorded PLCC Funds as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Under the new policy, we record PLCC Funds in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This reclassification does not have any impact on income from operations, income before provision for income taxes, net income or earnings per share and there was no cumulative effect to stockholders’ deficit or net assets. This reclassification has been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

The recognition of PLCC Funds in net sales is preferable because it enhances the comparability of our financial statements with those of many of our industry peers and provides greater transparency into performance metrics relevant to our industry by showing the gross impact of the funds received as net sales instead of as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.

The impact of this change in accounting principle is reflected in the tables below (in thousands):

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, based on current information.

Note 3. Inventory

Our inventory is comprised solely of finished goods and is valued at the lower of moving average cost or net realizable value. We make certain assumptions regarding net realizable value in order to assess whether our inventory is recorded properly at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These assumptions are based on historical average selling price experience, current selling price information and estimated future selling price information. Physical inventory counts are conducted at least once during the year to determine actual inventory on hand and shrinkage. We accrue our estimated inventory shrinkage in our stores for the period between the last physical count and current balance sheet date.

Note 6. Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements that are Service Contracts

Our cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts primarily consist of arrangements with third party vendors for our internal use of their software applications that they host. We defer implementation costs incurred in relation to such arrangements, including costs for software application coding, configuration, integration and customization, while associated process reengineering, training, maintenance and data conversion costs are expensed. Subsequent implementation costs are

Note 9. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract or an implied arrangement with a customer are satisfied, which is when the merchandise is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of it. The amount of revenue we recognize reflects the total consideration we expect to receive for the merchandise, which is the transaction price.

Our revenue, disaggregated by product category, consists of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022		July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022
Apparel	$	254,569	$	310,827	$	513,482	$	602,480
Non-apparel	26,309		30,049		53,157		66,805
Other	8,266		12,646		16,359		17,430
Total net sales	$	289,144	$	353,522	$	582,998	$	686,715

Amounts within Apparel include revenues earned from the sale of tops, bottoms, dresses, intimates, sleep wear, swim wear and outerwear. Amounts within Non-apparel include revenues earned from the sale of accessories, footwear and beauty. Amounts within Other represent PLCC Funds received.

We have an agreement with a third party, which is amended from time to time, to provide customers with private label credit cards ("Credit Card Agreement"). Each private label credit card ("PLCC") bears the logo of the Torrid brand and can only be used at our store locations and on www.torrid.com. A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the accounts issued under the PLCC program and absorbs the losses associated with non-payment by the PLCC holders and a portion of any fraudulent usage of the accounts. Pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement, we receive royalties, profit-sharing and marketing and promotional funds from the third-party financing company based on usage of the PLCCs. These PLCC Funds are recorded as a component of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

We recognize a contract liability when we receive consideration from a customer before our performance obligations under the terms of a contract or an implied arrangement with the customer are satisfied. During the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recognized revenue of approximately $8.6 million and $4.6 million related to our accrued loyalty program and gift cards, respectively, that existed at the beginning of fiscal year 2023. During the six-month period ended July 30, 2022,

13

we recognized revenue of approximately $9.3 million and $5.1 million related to our accrued loyalty program and gift cards, respectively, that existed at the beginning of fiscal year 2022.

Note 10. Loyalty Program

We operate our loyalty program, Torrid Rewards, in all our stores and on www.torrid.com. Under this program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity and qualifying non-purchase activity. Upon reaching a certain point level, customers can earn awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. Unredeemed points typically expire after 13 months without additional purchase and qualifying non-purchase activity and unredeemed awards typically expire 45 days after issuance. We use historical redemption rates to estimate the value of future award redemptions and we recognize the estimated value of these future awards as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period the points are earned by the customer. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and as of the end of fiscal year 2022, we had $12.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively, in deferred revenue related to our loyalty program included in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recorded $0.2 million as a reduction of net sales, and during the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recorded $0.5 million as a benefit to net sales. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, the amount recorded as a reduction of net sales was not material, and during the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, we recorded $0.1 million as a reduction of net sales. Actual results may differ from our estimates, resulting in changes to net sales.

Torrid provided Hot Topic with the specified information technology services at no cost for the first three years of the Reverse Services Agreement, however Hot Topic bore certain capital and operating expenses that it incurred. Costs incurred in connection with providing the specified information technology services to Hot Topic were expensed as incurred in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

New Term Loan Credit Agreement

On June 14, 2021, we entered into a term loan credit agreement ("New Term Loan Credit Agreement") among Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the lenders party thereto. On May 24, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement"). The 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") interest rate benchmark with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") benchmark. All other material terms of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement remained substantially the same after giving effect to the 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") and 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope ("ASU 2021-01"), respectively. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 include practical expedients which provide entities the option to account for qualifying amendments as if the modification was not substantial in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470, Debt. We elected this option, accordingly, the 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The New Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for term loans in an initial aggregate amount of $350.0 million, which is recorded net of an original issue discount ("OID") of $3.5 million and has a maturity date of June 14, 2028. In connection with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, we paid financing costs of approximately $6.0 million.

The elected interest rate on July 29, 2023 was approximately 11%.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we were compliant with our debt covenants under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement.

16

As of July 29, 2023, the fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $273.1 million. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $267.4 million. The fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of the balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement (as defined in "Note 19—Fair Value Measurements").

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, total borrowings, net of OID and financing costs, of $312.8 million remain outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, we recognized $8.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we recognized $5.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of OID and financing costs related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of OID and financing costs related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The OID and financing costs are amortized over the New Term Loan Credit Agreement's seven-year term and are reflected as a direct deduction of the face amount of the term loan in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest payments, together with amortization of the OID and financing costs, in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2015, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility ("Original ABL Facility") of $50.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), with Bank of America, N.A. On October 23, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ("Existing ABL Facility"), which amended our Original ABL Facility. The Existing ABL Facility increased the aggregate commitments available under the Original ABL Facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million (subject to a borrowing base); and increased our right to request additional commitments from up to $30.0 million to up to $30.0 million plus the aggregate principal amount of any permanent principal reductions we may take (subject to customary conditions precedent). On June 14, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "1st Amendment"). The 1st Amendment decreased the aggregate commitments available under the Existing ABL Facility from $100.0 million to $70.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), permitted indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and made certain other modifications. On September 4, 2019, we entered into another amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "2nd Amendment"). The 2nd Amendment permitted parent company financial statements to be used to satisfy reporting requirements and made certain other modifications. On June 14, 2021, in conjunction with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, we entered into a third amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "3rd Amendment"), which amended our Existing ABL Facility, as amended. The 3rd Amendment increased the aggregate commitments available under the Existing ABL facility, as amended, from $70.0 million to $150.0 million (subject to a borrowing base) and extended the date upon which the principal amount outstanding of the loans would be due and payable in full from October 23, 2022 to June 14, 2026. On April 21, 2023, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "4th Amendment"). The 4th Amendment replaced the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with the SOFR benchmark. All other material terms of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, remained substantially the same after giving effect to the 4th Amendment. We elected to apply the practical expedients included in ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01, accordingly, the 4th Amendment did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was approximately 9% per annum.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we were compliant with our debt covenants under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the maximum restricted payment utilizing the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, that our subsidiaries could make from its net assets was $117.0 million.

We consider the carrying amounts of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, to approximate fair value because of the variable interest rate of this facility, a Level 2 measurement (as defined in "Note 19—Fair Value Measurements").

Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $130.3 million, which reflects no borrowings. Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, at the end of fiscal year 2022 was $134.2 million, which reflects borrowings of $8.4 million. Standby letters of credit issued and outstanding were $7.4 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and $7.4 million as of the end of fiscal year 2022. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we incurred $0.5 million of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, which were reduced

17

in fiscal year 2019 by $0.1 million written off to account for the impact of our entry into the 1st Amendment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we incurred an additional $0.7 million of financing costs in connection with our entry into the 3rd Amendment. These financing costs, together with the unamortized financing costs of $0.1 million associated with the Original ABL Facility, are amortized over the five-year term of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets and deposits and other noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was not material. During the six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, interest payments were $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, interest payments were $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. We recognize amortization of financing costs and interest payments for the revolving credit facility in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Note 13. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, the provision for income taxes were $4.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes were $10.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 were 37.9% and 32.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022 were 30.5% and 29.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three- and six months ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the three- and six months ended July 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to income before provision for income taxes for the three- and six months ended July 29, 2023.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IR Act") was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. Among other things, the IR Act introduced a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the adjusted financial statement income of corporations or their predecessors with a three-year taxable year average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion and imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. In addition, the current administration has announced a proposal to increase such excise tax to 4%. The IR Act also includes provisions intended to mitigate climate change by, among others, providing tax credit incentives for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We have considered the applicable IR Act tax law changes in our tax provision for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, and continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). Our effective tax rate will be affected by any portion of this liability we may recognize.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that $1.7 million ($1.6 million net of federal benefit) of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, of which the associated interest and penalties are not material, may be recognized in the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $5.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.3 years.

RCUs

Restricted cash units ("RCUs") are awarded to certain employees, non-employee directors and consultants and

represent the right to receive a cash payment at the end of a vesting period, subject to the employee's continued employment or service as a director or consultant. In general, RCUs vest in equal installments each year over 4 years. RCUs are cash-settled with the value of each vested RCU equal to the lower of the closing price per share of our common stock on the vesting date or a specified per share price cap. We determined that RCUs are in-substance liabilities accounted for as liability instruments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, due to this cash settlement feature. RCUs are remeasured based on the closing price per share of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. The liability associated with the RCUs is included in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In November 2022, a class action complaint was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Sandra Waswick v. Torrid Holdings Inc., et al. An amended complaint was filed in May 2023. The amended complaint alleges that certain statements in our registration statement on Form S-1 related to our IPO and in subsequent SEC filings and earnings calls were allegedly false and misleading. We believe that these allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

From time to time, we are involved in other matters of litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Though significant litigation or awards against us could seriously harm our business and financial results, we do not at this time expect any of our pending matters of litigation to have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

During the ordinary course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to our board of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted. Commitments include those given to various merchandise vendors and suppliers. From time to time, we have issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit as security for workers' compensation claims (our letters of credit are discussed in more detail in "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements"). The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 16. Stockholders' Deficit

Torrid is authorized to issue 1.0 billion shares of common stock at $0.01 par value, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock at $0.01 par value. Torrid had 104,044,344 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of July 29, 2023.

Note 17. Share Repurchases

On December 6, 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, as determined by us. We may purchase shares of our common stock in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The authorization does not, however, obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. As of July 29, 2023, we had approximately $44.9 million remaining under the share repurchase program.

Share repurchase activity consists of the following (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022		July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022
Number of shares repurchased	—		1,545,811		—		4,464,367
Total cost	$	—	$	8,835	$	—	$	31,700
Average per share cost including commissions			$	5.72			$	7.10

We have elected to retire shares repurchased to date. Shares retired become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares. We have elected to record the purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value, including transaction costs, directly as an increase in accumulated deficit.

Note 18. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is applicable only in periods of net income and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, inclusive of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Periods of net loss require the diluted computation to be the same as the basic computation. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 0.2 million potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the three-month period ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 1.3 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 2.5 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 1.3 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 2.3 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.1 million potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.9 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 0.7 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.7 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 0.6 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved.

Note 19. Fair Value Measurements

We carry certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

21

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value require us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, including interest rates and yield curves, and market corroborated inputs.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These are valued based on our estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	July 29, 2023		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Money market funds (cash equivalent)	$	2,558	$	2,558	$	—	$	—
Total assets	$	2,558	$	2,558	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation plan liability (noncurrent)	$	4,854	$	—	$	4,854	$	—
Total liabilities	$	4,854	$	—	$	4,854	$	—

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the end of fiscal year 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	January 28, 2023		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3
Assets:
Money market funds (cash equivalent)	$	29	$	29	$	—	$	—
Total assets	$	29	$	29	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation plan liability (noncurrent)	$	4,246	$	—	$	4,246	$	—
Total liabilities	$	4,246	$	—	$	4,246	$	—

The fair value of our money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets. The deferred compensation plan liability represents the amount that would be earned by participants if the funds were invested in securities traded in active markets. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is determined based on quoted prices of similar assets that are traded in observable markets, or represents the cash withheld by participants prior to any investment activity.

22

Note 20. Deferred Compensation Plan

On August 1, 2015, we established the Torrid LLC Management Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan") for the purpose of providing highly compensated employees a program to meet their financial planning needs. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides participants with the opportunity to defer up to 80% of their base salary and up to 100% of their annual earned bonus, all of which, together with the associated investment returns, are 100% vested from the outset. The Deferred Compensation Plan is designed to be exempt from most provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended. All deferrals and associated earnings are our general unsecured obligations. We may at our discretion contribute certain amounts to eligible employees' accounts. To the extent participants are ineligible to receive contributions from participation in our 401(k) Plan (as defined in "Note 21—Employee Benefit Plan"), we may contribute 50% of the first 4% of participants' eligible contributions into their Deferred Compensation Plan accounts. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and as of the end of fiscal year 2022, we did not have any assets of the Deferred Compensation Plan and the associated liabilities were $5.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, $0.3 million of the $5.2 million Deferred Compensation Plan liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, $1.4 million of the $5.6 million Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 21. Employee Benefit Plan

On August 1, 2015, we adopted the Torrid 401(k) Plan ("401(k) Plan"). All employees who have been employed by us for at least 200 hours and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate. Employees may contribute up to 80% of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to a statutorily prescribed annual limit. We may at our discretion contribute certain amounts to eligible employees' accounts. We may contribute 50% of the first 4% of participants' eligible contributions into their 401(k) Plan accounts. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, we contributed $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, to eligible employees' 401(k) Plan accounts. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we contributed $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, to eligible employees' 401(k) Plan accounts.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors."

Overview

Torrid is a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and accessories in North America aimed at fashionable women who are curvy and wear sizes 10 to 30. Torrid is focused on fit and offers high quality products across a broad assortment that includes tops, bottoms, denim, dresses, intimates, activewear, footwear and accessories. Our proprietary product offering delivers a superior fit for the curvy woman that makes her love the way she looks and feels. Our style is unapologetically youthful and sexy and we are maniacally focused on fit. We believe our customer values the appeal and versatility of our curated product assortment that helps her look her best for any occasion, including weekend, casual, work and dressy, all at accessible price points. Through our product and brand experience we connect with customers in a way that other brands, many of which treat plus-size customers as an after-thought, have not.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

We use the following metrics to assess the progress of our business, inform how we allocate our time and capital, and assess the near-term and longer-term performance of our business.

	July 29, 2023	July 30, 2022
Number of stores (as of end of period)	639	627

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	(in thousands, except percentages)
	July 29, 2023			July 30, 2022			July 29, 2023			July 30, 2022
Comparable sales	(18)		%	1		%	(16)		%	—		%
Net income	$	6,629		$	22,710		$	18,437		$	46,776
Adjusted EBITDA(A)	$	32,151		$	52,088		$	70,412		$	103,867

(A)Please refer to "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Comparable Sales. We define comparable sales for any given period as the sales of our e-Commerce operations and stores that we have included in our comparable sales base during that period. We include a store in our comparable sales base after it has been open for 15 full fiscal months. If a store is closed during a fiscal year, it is only included in the computation of comparable sales for the full fiscal months in which it was open. Partial fiscal months are excluded from the computation of comparable sales. Comparable sales allow us to evaluate how our unified commerce business is performing exclusive of the effects of new store openings. We apply current year foreign currency exchange rates to both current year and prior year comparable sales to remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuation and achieve a consistent basis for comparison. Comparable sales allow us to evaluate how our unified commerce business is performing exclusive of the effects of non-comparable sales.

Number of Stores. Store count reflects all stores open at the end of a reporting period. In connection with opening new stores, we incur pre-opening costs, which primarily consist of payroll, travel, training, marketing, initial opening supplies, costs of transporting initial inventory and fixtures to store locations, and occupancy costs incurred from the time of possession of a store site to the opening of that store. These pre-opening costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense less interest income, net of other expense (income), plus provision for less (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"),

24

and share-based compensation, noncash deductions and charges and other expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without any correlation to ongoing operating performance. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting the overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations. Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure in determining business value and, as such, use it internally to report and analyze our results and as a benchmark to determine certain non-equity incentive payments made to executives.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. This measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to or substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Among other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect:

•interest expense;

•interest income, net of other expense (income);

•provision for income taxes;

•depreciation and amortization;

•share-based compensation;

•non-cash deductions and charges; and

•other expenses.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the section titled "Risk Factors."

Customer Acquisition and Retention. Our success is impacted not only by efficient and profitable customer acquisition, but also by our ability to retain customers and encourage repeat purchases. It is important to maintain reasonable costs for these marketing efforts relative to the net sales and profit we expect to derive from customers. Failure to effectively attract customers on a cost-efficient basis would adversely impact our profitability and operating results. New requirements for consumer disclosures regarding privacy practices, and new application tracking transparency framework that requires opt-in consent for certain types of tracking were implemented by third party providers in 2021, which has increased the difficulty and cost of acquiring and retaining customers. These changes may adversely affect our results of operations.

Customer Migration from Single to Omni-channel. We have a history of converting customers from single-channel customers to omni-channel customers, defined as active customers who shopped both online and in-store within the last twelve months. Customers that shop across multiple channels purchase from us more frequently and spent approximately 3.4 times more per year than our single-channel customer during fiscal year 2022.

Overall Economic Trends. Our results of operations during any given period are often affected by the overall economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. Consumer purchases of clothing generally remain constant or may increase during stable economic periods and decline during recessionary periods, inflationary periods and other periods when disposable income is adversely affected. Recent historic high rates of inflation have led to a softening of consumer demand. We have encountered inflation on our wages, transportation and product costs, and a material increase in these costs without any meaningful offsetting price increases may reduce our future profits.

Demographic Changes. Our business has experienced growth over recent periods due, in part, to an increase in the plus-size population. Slower or negative growth in this demographic, specific to certain geographic markets, income levels or overall, could adversely affect our results of operations.

Growth in Brand Awareness. We intend to continue investing in our brand, with a specific focus on growing brand awareness, customer engagement, and conversion through targeted investments in performance and brand marketing. We have made significant historical investments to strengthen the Torrid brand through our marketing efforts, brand partnerships, events

25

and expansion of our social media presence. If we fail to cost-effectively promote our brand or convert impressions into new customers, our net sales growth and profitability may be adversely affected.

Inventory Management. Our strategy is built around a base of core products that provide our customer with year-round style. At the same time, we introduce new lines of merchandise approximately 16 times per year, thus providing a consistent flow of fresh merchandise to keep our customer engaged, encourage repeat business and attract new customers. We employ a data-driven approach to design and product development, proactively and quickly incorporating sales and operational performance information alongside customer feedback from thousands of product reviews. We engage in ongoing dialogue with customers through social media and customer surveys. Shifts in inventory levels may result in fluctuations in the amount of regular price sales, markdowns, and merchandise mix, as well as gross margin.

Impact of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused general business disruption worldwide. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain. A resurgence in the pandemic or the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus could have a negative impact on our business including, but not limited to, new closure requirements with respect to some or all of our physical locations, changes in consumer behavior, difficulties attracting and retaining employees and supply chain disruptions.

Investments. We have invested significantly to strengthen our business, including augmenting leadership across our organization and enhancing our infrastructure and technology. We anticipate that our operating expenses will grow as we continue to increase our spending on advertising and marketing, product design and development, merchandising, technology, operations, customer service and general and administrative functions. We will also continue to selectively expand our store footprint and make investments to improve the customer experience both in-store and online. We believe that such investments will increase the number and loyalty of our customers and, as a result, yield positive financial performance in the long term.

Seasonality. While seasonality frequently impacts businesses in the retail sector, our business is generally not seasonal. Accordingly, our net sales do not fluctuate as significantly as those of other brands and retailers from quarter to quarter and any modest seasonal effect does not significantly change the underlying trends in our business. Additionally, we do not generate an outsized share of our net sales or Adjusted EBITDA during the holiday season. Typically, our Adjusted EBITDA generation is strongest in the first half of the year as we benefit from more favorable merchandise margins, lower advertising and lower shipping expenses relative to the second half of the year. The lack of net sales seasonality provides structural cost advantages relative to peers, including reduced staffing cyclicality and seasonal distribution capacity needs.

Components of Our Results of Operations

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we made a voluntary change in our accounting policy regarding the classification of PLCC Funds (as defined in “Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Description of the Business”) we receive pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement (as defined in “Note 9–Revenue Recognition”). Historically, we recorded PLCC Funds as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Under the new policy, we record PLCC Funds in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This reclassification does not have any impact on income from operations, income before provision for income taxes, net income or earnings per share and there was no cumulative effect to stockholders’ deficit or net assets. The recognition of PLCC Funds in net sales is preferable because it will enhance the comparability of our financial statements with those of many of our industry peers and provide greater transparency into performance metrics relevant to our industry by showing the gross impact of the funds received as net sales instead of as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net Sales. Net sales reflects our revenues from the sale of our merchandise, shipping and handling revenue received from e-Commerce sales, PLCC Funds and gift card breakage income, less returns, discounts and loyalty points/awards. Revenue from our stores is recognized at the time of sale and revenue from our e-Commerce channel is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise to the home of the customer; except in cases where the merchandise is shipped to a store and revenue is recognized when the customer retrieves the merchandise from the store. Net sales are impacted by the size of our active customer base, product assortment and availability, marketing and promotional activities and the spending habits of our customers. Net sales are also impacted by the migration of single-channel customers (i.e., customers shopping only in-store or online) to omni-channel customers (i.e., customers shopping both in-store and online), who on average spend significantly more than single-channel customers in a given year.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is equal to our net sales less cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold includes merchandise costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, payroll expenses associated with the merchandising department, distribution center expenses and store occupancy expenses, including rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes and depreciation.

Merchandising payroll costs and store occupancy costs included within cost of goods sold are largely fixed and do not necessarily increase as volume increases. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally use markdowns to clear that merchandise. The timing and level of markdowns are driven primarily by customer acceptance of our merchandise. The primary drivers of our merchandise costs include the raw materials, labor in the countries where we source our merchandise, customs duties, and logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold or marketing expenses.

Marketing Expenses. We continue to make investments in marketing in an effort to grow and retain our active customer base and increase our brand awareness. Marketing expenses consist primarily of (i) targeted online performance marketing costs, such as retargeting, paid search/product listing advertising, and social media advertisements, (ii) store and brand marketing, public relations and photographic production designed to acquire, retain and remain connected to customers and (iii) payroll and benefits expenses associated with our marketing team.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense and other fees associated with our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, and New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $64.4 million, or 18.2%, to $289.1 million for the three months ended July 29, 2023, from $353.5 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in sales transactions and a decrease in PLCC Funds, partially offset by improved pricing strategies. The total number of stores we operate increased by 12 stores, or 1.9%, to 639 stores as of July 29, 2023, from 627 stores as of July 30, 2022.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $28.8 million, or 21.9%, to $102.7 million, from $131.5 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales transactions and a decrease in PLCC Funds, partially offset by decreases in distribution costs and e-Commerce shipping costs as a result of fewer packages shipped. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.7% to 35.5% for the three months ended July 29, 2023 from 37.2% for the three months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in PLCC Funds, deleverage of store occupancy costs as a result of lower net sales and increases in store depreciation expense and merchandising payroll costs, partially offset by improved pricing strategies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $9.0 million, or 11.4%, to $69.6 million, from $78.6 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 million decrease in store payroll costs, a $2.9 million decrease in performance bonuses, a $1.4 million decrease in losses on property and equipment disposals and a $1.0 million decrease in other store operating costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 1.9% to 24.2% for the three months ended July 29, 2023 from 22.3% for the three months ended July 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by increased headquarters general and administrative expenses and deleverage of store payroll costs and other store operating costs as a result of lower net sales, partially offset by decreased performance bonuses and losses on property and equipment disposals.

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $0.6 million, or 4.5%, to $12.9 million, from $13.5 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to decreased television marketing and regional marketing events, partially offset by an increase in digital marketing. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 0.7% to 4.5% during the three months ended July 29, 2023 from 3.8% during the three months ended July 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by deleverage of our marketing expenses as a result of lower net sales.

28

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $9.6 million for the three months ended July 29, 2023, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the variable interest rate associated with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, during the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to the three months ended July 30, 2022.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $4.0 million for the three months ended July 29, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $10.0 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was 37.9% for the three months ended July 29, 2023 and 30.5% for the three months ended July 30, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 30, 2022 was primarily due to increases in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 29, 2023.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $103.7 million, or 15.1%, to $583.0 million for the six months ended July 29, 2023, from $686.7 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in sales transactions, partially offset by improved pricing strategies. The total number of stores we operate increased by 12 stores, or 1.9%, to 639 stores as of July 29, 2023, from 627 stores as of July 30, 2022.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $48.1 million, or 18.4%, to $213.3 million, from $261.4 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales transactions and increases in store occupancy costs and merchandising payroll costs, partially offset by decreases in distribution costs and e-Commerce shipping costs as a result of fewer packages shipped. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.5% to 36.6% for the six months ended July 29, 2023 from 38.1% for the six months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by increases in store occupancy costs, merchandising payroll costs and store depreciation expense, partially offset by improved pricing strategies and a decrease in e-Commerce shipping costs as a result of fewer packages shipped.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $10.0 million, or 6.6%, to $140.8 million, from $150.8 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.4 million decrease in performance bonuses, a $3.7 million decrease in store payroll costs, a $2.4 million decrease in other store operating costs and a $1.5 million decrease in losses on property and equipment disposals, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in headquarters general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 2.2% to 24.2% for the six months ended July 29, 2023 from 22.0% for the six months ended July 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by increased headquarters general and administrative expenses and deleverage of store payroll costs and other store operating costs as a result of lower net sales, partially offset by decreased performance bonuses and losses on property and equipment disposals.

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses for the six months ended July 29, 2023 decreased $5.2 million, or 16.6%, to $26.2 million, from $31.5 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to decreased television marketing and regional marketing events, partially offset by an increase in digital marketing. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.1% to 4.5% during the six months ended July 29, 2023 from 4.6% during the six months ended July 30, 2022. This

30

decrease was primarily driven by decreased television marketing and regional marketing events, partially offset by an increase in digital marketing.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $19.1 million for the six months ended July 29, 2023, compared to $13.0 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the variable interest rate associated with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, during the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to the six months ended July 30, 2022.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $8.8 million for the six months ended July 29, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $19.3 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was 32.2% for the six months ended July 29, 2023 and 29.3% for the six months ended July 30, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the six months ended July 30, 2022 was primarily due to increases in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to income before provision for income taxes for the six months ended July 29, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our business relies on cash flows from operations as our primary source of liquidity. We do, however, have access to additional liquidity, if needed, through borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended. Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, was $130.3 million, which reflects no borrowings. Our primary cash needs are for merchandise inventories, payroll, rent for our stores, headquarters and distribution center, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, logistics and information technology. We also need cash to fund our interest and principal payments on the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, and make discretionary repurchases of our common stock. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities. We believe that cash generated from operations and the availability of borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

July 2023 Reduction in Workforce

In July 2023, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we implemented a strategic reduction of approximately 5% of our workforce employed in our headquarters in City of Industry, California. We estimate that we will incur between approximately $1.0 million and $2.0 million in costs to implement the workforce reduction, comprised primarily of severance payments and continuing health care coverage over the severance period. The costs associated with the workforce reduction are expected to be substantially incurred during fiscal year 2023.

Cash Flow Analysis

A summary of operating, investing and financing activities are shown in the following table (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	31,695	$	44,293
Net cash used in investing activities	(9,593)		(11,444)
Net cash used in financing activities	(17,118)		(38,826)

31

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, the effect of working capital changes and taxes paid.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 29, 2023 was $31.7 million compared to $44.3 million during the six months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 29, 2023 was primarily as a result of decreases in net income, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, operating lease liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities and increases in prepaid income taxes and deposits and other noncurrent assets. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in inventory purchases and a lower decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Typical investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for growth (new store openings, relocations and major remodels), store maintenance (minor store remodels and investments in store fixtures), and infrastructure to support the business related primarily to information technology, our headquarters facility and our West Jefferson, Ohio distribution center.

Net cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended July 29, 2023 was $9.6 million, compared to $11.4 million during the six months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily as a result of a decrease in capital expenditures related to our West Jefferson, Ohio distribution center, partially offset by increased capital expenditures related to the opening of new stores and store relocations during the six months ended July 29, 2023, compared to the six months ended July 30, 2022.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Financing activities consist primarily of (i) borrowings and repayments related to our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, (ii) borrowings and repayments related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement and (iii) repurchases and retirement of our common stock.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended July 29, 2023 was $17.1 million compared to $38.8 million during the six months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities is primarily as a result of a $31.7 million decrease in share repurchases and a $4.4 million decrease in principal payments on the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, due to the timing of payments relative to the end of our fiscal quarter, partially offset by a $14.3 million decrease in net borrowing from the Existing ABL Facility, as amended.

Debt Financing Arrangements

As of July 29, 2023, we had $312.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized original issue discount and debt financing costs, consisting of term loans under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended. As of July 29, 2023, we had no borrowings under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended. Please refer to "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements" for further discussion regarding our indebtedness.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk profile as of January 28, 2023 is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and has not materially changed. Please refer to "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements" for further discussion regarding our indebtedness.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

32

13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of July 29, 2023, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes during the three months ended July 29, 2023 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

33

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. We establish reserves for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On December 6, 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, as determined by us. We may purchase shares of our common stock in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The authorization does not, however, obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended July 29, 2023 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. As of July 29, 2023, we had approximately $44.9 million remaining under the share repurchase program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Description of the Business

Basis of Presentation and Description of the Business

Corporate Structure

Torrid Holdings Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on October 29, 2019 and capitalized on February 20, 2020. Sycamore Partners Management, L.P. ("Sycamore") owns a majority of the voting power of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s outstanding common stock. Torrid Parent Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on June 4, 2019 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Holdings Inc. Torrid Intermediate LLC, formerly known as Torrid Inc., is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 18, 2019 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Parent Inc. Torrid LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Intermediate LLC. Substantially all of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s financial position, operations and cash flows are generated through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Torrid LLC.

Throughout these financial statements, the terms "Torrid," "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and similar references refer to Torrid Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and each fiscal year is generally comprised of four 13-week quarters (although in years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter is comprised of 14 weeks). Fiscal year 2023 is a 53-week year and fiscal year 2022 was a 52-week year. Fiscal years are identified according to the calendar year in which they begin. For example, references to "fiscal year 2023" or similar references refer to the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024. References to the second quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 and to the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively, refer to the 13- and 26-week periods then ended.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim periods, the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, or for any future fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at January 28, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Torrid and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Description of Business

We are a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and accessories in North America aimed at fashionable women who are curvy and wear sizes 10 to 30. We generate revenues primarily through our e-Commerce platform www.torrid.com and our stores in the United States of America, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Segment Reporting

We have determined that we have one reportable segment, which includes the operation of our e-Commerce platform and stores. The single segment was identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources. Revenues and long-lived assets related to our operations in Canada and Puerto Rico during the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, and as of the end of the same periods, were not material, and therefore are not reported separately from domestic revenues and long-lived assets.

Store Pre-Opening Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the opening of new stores, store remodels or relocations are expensed as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We incurred $0.3 million and $0.6 million of pre-opening costs during the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, respectively. We incurred $0.3 million and $0.5 million of pre-opening costs during the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, respectively.

Change in Accounting Principle

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we made a voluntary change in our accounting policy regarding the classification of royalties, profit-sharing and marketing and promotional funds ("PLCC Funds") we receive pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement (as defined below). Historically, we recorded PLCC Funds as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Under the new policy, we record PLCC Funds in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This reclassification does not have any impact on income from operations, income before provision for income taxes, net income or earnings per share and there was no cumulative effect to stockholders’ deficit or net assets. This reclassification has been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

The recognition of PLCC Funds in net sales is preferable because it enhances the comparability of our financial statements with those of many of our industry peers and provides greater transparency into performance metrics relevant to our industry by showing the gross impact of the funds received as net sales instead of as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.

The impact of this change in accounting principle is reflected in the tables below (in thousands):

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventory	InventoryOur inventory is comprised solely of finished goods and is valued at the lower of moving average cost or net realizable value. We make certain assumptions regarding net realizable value in order to assess whether our inventory is recorded properly at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These assumptions are based on historical average selling price experience, current selling price information and estimated future selling price information. Physical inventory counts are conducted at least once during the year to determine actual inventory on hand and shrinkage. We accrue our estimated inventory shrinkage in our stores for the period between the last physical count and current balance sheet date.

Deferred Costs, Capitalized, Prepaid, and Other Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements that are Service Contracts

Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements that are Service ContractsOur cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts primarily consist of arrangements with third party vendors for our internal use of their software applications that they host. We defer implementation costs incurred in relation to such arrangements, including costs for software application coding, configuration, integration and customization, while associated process reengineering, training, maintenance and data conversion costs are expensed. Subsequent implementation costs are

deferred only to the extent that they constitute major enhancements. The short-term portion of deferred implementation costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while the long-term portion of deferred costs are included in deposits and other noncurrent assets. Amortized implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Deferred implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Loyalty Program

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract or an implied arrangement with a customer are satisfied, which is when the merchandise is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of it. The amount of revenue we recognize reflects the total consideration we expect to receive for the merchandise, which is the transaction price.

Our revenue, disaggregated by product category, consists of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022		July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022

Total net sales	$	289,144	$	353,522	$	582,998	$	686,715

Amounts within Apparel include revenues earned from the sale of tops, bottoms, dresses, intimates, sleep wear, swim wear and outerwear. Amounts within Non-apparel include revenues earned from the sale of accessories, footwear and beauty. Amounts within Other represent PLCC Funds received.

We have an agreement with a third party, which is amended from time to time, to provide customers with private label credit cards ("Credit Card Agreement"). Each private label credit card ("PLCC") bears the logo of the Torrid brand and can only be used at our store locations and on www.torrid.com. A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the accounts issued under the PLCC program and absorbs the losses associated with non-payment by the PLCC holders and a portion of any fraudulent usage of the accounts. Pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement, we receive royalties, profit-sharing and marketing and promotional funds from the third-party financing company based on usage of the PLCCs. These PLCC Funds are recorded as a component of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

We recognize a contract liability when we receive consideration from a customer before our performance obligations under the terms of a contract or an implied arrangement with the customer are satisfied. During the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recognized revenue of approximately $8.6 million and $4.6 million related to our accrued loyalty program and gift cards, respectively, that existed at the beginning of fiscal year 2023. During the six-month period ended July 30, 2022,

we recognized revenue of approximately $9.3 million and $5.1 million related to our accrued loyalty program and gift cards, respectively, that existed at the beginning of fiscal year 2022. Loyalty ProgramWe operate our loyalty program, Torrid Rewards, in all our stores and on www.torrid.com. Under this program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity and qualifying non-purchase activity. Upon reaching a certain point level, customers can earn awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. Unredeemed points typically expire after 13 months without additional purchase and qualifying non-purchase activity and unredeemed awards typically expire 45 days after issuance. We use historical redemption rates to estimate the value of future award redemptions and we recognize the estimated value of these future awards as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period the points are earned by the customer. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and as of the end of fiscal year 2022, we had $12.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively, in deferred revenue related to our loyalty program included in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recorded $0.2 million as a reduction of net sales, and during the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, we recorded $0.5 million as a benefit to net sales. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, the amount recorded as a reduction of net sales was not material, and during the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, we recorded $0.1 million as a reduction of net sales. Actual results may differ from our estimates, resulting in changes to net sales.

Hot Topic Inc. ("Hot Topic") is an entity indirectly controlled by affiliates of Sycamore. From June 2, 2017 until its termination on March 21, 2019, we had a services agreement ("Third Party Services Agreement") with Hot Topic, pursuant to which Hot Topic provided us (or caused applicable third parties to provide) certain services, including information technology, distribution and logistics management, real estate leasing and construction management and other services as may have been specified. On March 21, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated services agreement ("Amended and Restated Services Agreement") with Hot Topic under which Hot Topic provided us (or caused applicable third parties to provide) substantially similar services to those provided under the Third Party Services Agreement. The term of the Amended and Restated Services Agreement was three years, unless we or Hot Topic extended the agreement, or we terminated the agreement (or certain services under the agreement). In connection with the Reverse Services Agreement (as defined below), we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Services Agreement ("Amendment to Amended and Restated Services Agreement") with Hot Topic on August 1, 2019, pursuant to which sections pertaining to Hot Topic's provision of information technology services to Torrid were removed.

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, Hot Topic charged us $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for various services under the applicable services agreements, all of which were recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Torrid provided Hot Topic with the specified information technology services at no cost for the first three years of the Reverse Services Agreement, however Hot Topic bore certain capital and operating expenses that it incurred. Costs incurred in connection with providing the specified information technology services to Hot Topic were expensed as incurred in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we incurred costs of $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in connection with providing these information technology services to Hot Topic.

The term of the Amended Reverse Services Agreement was five months while both parties negotiated a longer-term amendment to the Reverse Services Agreement with modified terms and conditions. On September 30, 2022, we entered into a second amendment to the Reverse Services Agreement (“Second Amended Reverse Services Agreement”) with Hot Topic, under which Torrid provides Hot Topic with certain information technology services for a fixed fee. The term of the Second Amended Reverse Services Agreement was two months while both parties negotiated a longer-term amendment to the Reverse Services Agreement with modified terms and conditions. Effective December 1, 2022, we entered into a third amendment to the Reverse

Services Agreement (“Third Amended Reverse Services Agreement”) with Hot Topic, under which Torrid provides Hot Topic with certain information technology services for a fixed fee.

New Term Loan Credit Agreement

On June 14, 2021, we entered into a term loan credit agreement ("New Term Loan Credit Agreement") among Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the lenders party thereto. On May 24, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement"). The 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") interest rate benchmark with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") benchmark. All other material terms of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement remained substantially the same after giving effect to the 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") and 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope ("ASU 2021-01"), respectively. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 include practical expedients which provide entities the option to account for qualifying amendments as if the modification was not substantial in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470, Debt. We elected this option, accordingly, the 1st Amendment to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The New Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for term loans in an initial aggregate amount of $350.0 million, which is recorded net of an original issue discount ("OID") of $3.5 million and has a maturity date of June 14, 2028. In connection with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, we paid financing costs of approximately $6.0 million.

The elected interest rate on July 29, 2023 was approximately 11%.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we were compliant with our debt covenants under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement.

As of July 29, 2023, the fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $273.1 million. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $267.4 million. The fair value of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of the balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement (as defined in "Note 19—Fair Value Measurements").

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, total borrowings, net of OID and financing costs, of $312.8 million remain outstanding under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, we recognized $8.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we recognized $5.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of OID and financing costs related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of OID and financing costs related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The OID and financing costs are amortized over the New Term Loan Credit Agreement's seven-year term and are reflected as a direct deduction of the face amount of the term loan in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest payments, together with amortization of the OID and financing costs, in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2015, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility ("Original ABL Facility") of $50.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), with Bank of America, N.A. On October 23, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ("Existing ABL Facility"), which amended our Original ABL Facility. The Existing ABL Facility increased the aggregate commitments available under the Original ABL Facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million (subject to a borrowing base); and increased our right to request additional commitments from up to $30.0 million to up to $30.0 million plus the aggregate principal amount of any permanent principal reductions we may take (subject to customary conditions precedent). On June 14, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "1st Amendment"). The 1st Amendment decreased the aggregate commitments available under the Existing ABL Facility from $100.0 million to $70.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), permitted indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and made certain other modifications. On September 4, 2019, we entered into another amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "2nd Amendment"). The 2nd Amendment permitted parent company financial statements to be used to satisfy reporting requirements and made certain other modifications. On June 14, 2021, in conjunction with the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, we entered into a third amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "3rd Amendment"), which amended our Existing ABL Facility, as amended. The 3rd Amendment increased the aggregate commitments available under the Existing ABL facility, as amended, from $70.0 million to $150.0 million (subject to a borrowing base) and extended the date upon which the principal amount outstanding of the loans would be due and payable in full from October 23, 2022 to June 14, 2026. On April 21, 2023, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "4th Amendment"). The 4th Amendment replaced the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with the SOFR benchmark. All other material terms of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, remained substantially the same after giving effect to the 4th Amendment. We elected to apply the practical expedients included in ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01, accordingly, the 4th Amendment did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was approximately 9% per annum.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we were compliant with our debt covenants under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the maximum restricted payment utilizing the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, that our subsidiaries could make from its net assets was $117.0 million.

We consider the carrying amounts of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, to approximate fair value because of the variable interest rate of this facility, a Level 2 measurement (as defined in "Note 19—Fair Value Measurements").

Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $130.3 million, which reflects no borrowings. Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, at the end of fiscal year 2022 was $134.2 million, which reflects borrowings of $8.4 million. Standby letters of credit issued and outstanding were $7.4 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and $7.4 million as of the end of fiscal year 2022. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we incurred $0.5 million of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, which were reduced

in fiscal year 2019 by $0.1 million written off to account for the impact of our entry into the 1st Amendment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we incurred an additional $0.7 million of financing costs in connection with our entry into the 3rd Amendment. These financing costs, together with the unamortized financing costs of $0.1 million associated with the Original ABL Facility, are amortized over the five-year term of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets and deposits and other noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was not material. During the six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, interest payments were $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, interest payments were $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. We recognize amortization of financing costs and interest payments for the revolving credit facility in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, the provision for income taxes were $4.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes were $10.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 were 37.9% and 32.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022 were 30.5% and 29.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three- and six months ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the three- and six months ended July 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to income before provision for income taxes for the three- and six months ended July 29, 2023.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IR Act") was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. Among other things, the IR Act introduced a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the adjusted financial statement income of corporations or their predecessors with a three-year taxable year average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion and imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. In addition, the current administration has announced a proposal to increase such excise tax to 4%. The IR Act also includes provisions intended to mitigate climate change by, among others, providing tax credit incentives for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We have considered the applicable IR Act tax law changes in our tax provision for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, and continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). Our effective tax rate will be affected by any portion of this liability we may recognize.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that $1.7 million ($1.6 million net of federal benefit) of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, of which the associated interest and penalties are not material, may be recognized in the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations.

RCUs

Restricted cash units ("RCUs") are awarded to certain employees, non-employee directors and consultants and

represent the right to receive a cash payment at the end of a vesting period, subject to the employee's continued employment or service as a director or consultant. In general, RCUs vest in equal installments each year over 4 years. RCUs are cash-settled with the value of each vested RCU equal to the lower of the closing price per share of our common stock on the vesting date or a specified per share price cap. We determined that RCUs are in-substance liabilities accounted for as liability instruments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, due to this cash settlement feature. RCUs are remeasured based on the closing price per share of our common stock at the end of each reporting period. The liability associated with the RCUs is included in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Litigation

In November 2022, a class action complaint was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Sandra Waswick v. Torrid Holdings Inc., et al. An amended complaint was filed in May 2023. The amended complaint alleges that certain statements in our registration statement on Form S-1 related to our IPO and in subsequent SEC filings and earnings calls were allegedly false and misleading. We believe that these allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

From time to time, we are involved in other matters of litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Though significant litigation or awards against us could seriously harm our business and financial results, we do not at this time expect any of our pending matters of litigation to have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

During the ordinary course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to our board of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted. Commitments include those given to various merchandise vendors and suppliers. From time to time, we have issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit as security for workers' compensation claims (our letters of credit are discussed in more detail in "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements"). The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchases

On December 6, 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, as determined by us. We may purchase shares of our common stock in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The authorization does not, however, obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. As of July 29, 2023, we had approximately $44.9 million remaining under the share repurchase program.

Share repurchase activity consists of the following (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Earnings Per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is applicable only in periods of net income and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, inclusive of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Periods of net loss require the diluted computation to be the same as the basic computation. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 0.2 million potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the three-month period ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 1.3 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 2.5 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the six-month period ended July 29, 2023, there were approximately 1.3 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 2.3 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.1 million potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.9 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 0.7 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.7 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately 0.6 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved.

Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value MeasurementsWe carry certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value require us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, including interest rates and yield curves, and market corroborated inputs.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These are valued based on our estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	July 29, 2023		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The fair value of our money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets. The deferred compensation plan liability represents the amount that would be earned by participants if the funds were invested in securities traded in active markets. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is determined based on quoted prices of similar assets that are traded in observable markets, or represents the cash withheld by participants prior to any investment activity.

Compensation Related Costs [Abstract]
Deferred Compensation Plan	Deferred Compensation PlanOn August 1, 2015, we established the Torrid LLC Management Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan") for the purpose of providing highly compensated employees a program to meet their financial planning needs. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides participants with the opportunity to defer up to 80% of their base salary and up to 100% of their annual earned bonus, all of which, together with the associated investment returns, are 100% vested from the outset. The Deferred Compensation Plan is designed to be exempt from most provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended. All deferrals and associated earnings are our general unsecured obligations. We may at our discretion contribute certain amounts to eligible employees' accounts. To the extent participants are ineligible to receive contributions from participation in our 401(k) Plan (as defined in "Note 21—Employee Benefit Plan"), we may contribute 50% of the first 4% of participants' eligible contributions into their Deferred Compensation Plan accounts. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and as of the end of fiscal year 2022, we did not have any assets of the Deferred Compensation Plan and the associated liabilities were $5.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, $0.3 million of the $5.2 million Deferred Compensation Plan liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, $1.4 million of the $5.6 million Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Fiscal Year

Fiscal YearOur fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and each fiscal year is generally comprised of four 13-week quarters (although in years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter is comprised of 14 weeks).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim periods, the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, or for any future fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at January 28, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Torrid and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting

We have determined that we have one reportable segment, which includes the operation of our e-Commerce platform and stores. The single segment was identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources.

Store Pre-Opening Cost

Store Pre-Opening CostsCosts incurred in connection with the opening of new stores, store remodels or relocations are expensed as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards And Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards during the Six-Month Period Ended July 29, 2023

We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the six-month period ended July 29, 2023.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, based on current information.

Inventory

InventoryOur inventory is comprised solely of finished goods and is valued at the lower of moving average cost or net realizable value. We make certain assumptions regarding net realizable value in order to assess whether our inventory is recorded properly at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These assumptions are based on historical average selling price experience, current selling price information and estimated future selling price information. Physical inventory counts are conducted at least once during the year to determine actual inventory on hand and shrinkage. We accrue our estimated inventory shrinkage in our stores for the period between the last physical count and current balance sheet date.
