5. FAIR VALUE
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The exit price is based on the amount that the holder of the asset or liability would receive or need to pay in an actual transaction (or in a hypothetical transaction if an actual transaction does not exist) at the measurement date. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
13
DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 3 instruments. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale security was valued based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3), which incorporates the U.S. Treasury yield curve, credit information and an estimate of future cash flows. During the three months ended May 3, 2026, certain changes in the inputs did impact the fair value of the available-for-sale security. The calculated fair value is based on estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale security and the corresponding amount of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows:

6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and is therefore deemed the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that it was the primary beneficiary of

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding restricted stock and are considered only for dilutive earnings per share unless considered anti-dilutive.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” This ASU requires that each interim and annual reporting period an entity disclose more information about the components of certain expense captions that is currently disclosed in the financial statements. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Duluth Holdings Inc. included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 (“2025 Form 10-K”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to January 31 of the following year. Fiscal 2026 is a 52-week period and ends on January 31, 2027. Fiscal 2025 was a 52-week period and ended on February 1, 2026. The three months of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 represent our 13-week periods ended May 3, 2026 and May 4, 2025, respectively.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Duluth,” “Duluth Trading,” “we,” “our,” or “us” are used to refer to Duluth Holdings Inc.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “objective,” “should,” “would,” “can have,” “likely,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenue, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including the risks and uncertainties described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our 2025 Form 10-K, and other SEC filings, which factors are incorporated by reference herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the impact of inflation and measures to control inflation on our results of operations; the prolonged effects of economic uncertainties on store and website traffic; disruptions to our distribution network, supply chains and operations; failure to effectively manage inventory levels; our ability to maintain and enhance a strong brand and sub-brand image; adapting to declines in consumer confidence, inflation and decreases in consumer spending; disruptions to our e-commerce platform; our ability to meet customer delivery time expectations; our ability to properly allocate inventory throughout our distribution network to fulfill customer demand; our failure to meet our debt covenant ratios; natural disasters, unusually adverse weather conditions, boycotts, prolonged public health crises, epidemics or pandemics and unanticipated events; generating adequate cash from our existing stores and direct sales to support our growth; the impact of changes in corporate tax regulations and sales tax; identifying and responding to new and changing customer preferences; the success of the locations in which our stores are located; effectively relying on sources for merchandise located in foreign markets; transportation delays and interruptions, including port congestion; our inability to timely and effectively obtain shipments of products from our suppliers and deliver merchandise to our customers; the inability to maintain the performance of our maturing store portfolio; our inability to deploy marketing tactics and commit adequate resources to support marketing in order to retain and attract new customers; our ability to successfully open new stores; effectively adapting to new challenges associated with our expansion into new geographic markets; competing effectively in an environment of intense competition or elevated promotions; our ability to adapt to significant changes in sales due to the seasonality of our business; price reductions or inventory shortages resulting from failure to purchase the appropriate amount of inventory in advance of the season in which it will be sold; the potential for further increases in price and lack of availability of raw materials; our dependence on third-party vendors to provide us with sufficient quantities of merchandise at acceptable prices; the susceptibility of the price and availability of our merchandise to international trade conditions including tariffs; failure of our vendors and their manufacturing sources to use acceptable labor or other practices; our dependence upon key executive management or our inability to hire or retain the talent required for our business; increases in costs of fuel or other energy, transportation or utility costs and in the costs of labor and employment; failure of our information technology systems to support our current and growing business, before and after our planned upgrades; disruptions in our supply chain and fulfillment centers; our inability to protect our trademarks or other intellectual property rights; infringement on the intellectual property of third parties; acts of war, terrorism or civil unrest; the impact of governmental laws and regulations and the outcomes of legal proceedings; changes in U.S. and non-U.S. laws affecting the importation and taxation of goods, including imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported goods; our ability to secure the personal and/or financial information of our customers and employees; failure to comply with data privacy regulations; our ability to comply with the security standards for the credit card industry; our failure to maintain adequate internal controls over our financial and management systems; acquisition, disposition, and development risks; and other factors that may be disclosed in our SEC filings or otherwise.
20
Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment, new risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required under the federal securities laws.
Overview
We are a lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s workwear, casual wear, outdoor apparel and accessories sold primarily through our own omnichannel platform. We offer products nationwide through our website and direct mail. In 2010, we initiated our omnichannel platform with the opening of our first store. Since then, we have expanded our retail presence, and as of May 3, 2026, we operated 63 retail stores and three outlet stores.
We offer a comprehensive line of innovative, durable and functional products, such as our Longtail T® shirts, Buck Naked® underwear, Fire Hose® work pants, and No-Yank® Tank, which reflect our position as the Modern, Self-Reliant American Lifestyle brand. Our brand has a heritage in workwear that transcends tradesmen and appeals to a broad demographic for everyday and on-the-job use.
From our heritage as a catalog for those working in the building trades, Duluth Trading has become a widely recognized brand and proprietary line of innovative and functional apparel and gear. Over the last decade, we have created strong brand awareness, built a loyal customer base and generated sales growth. We have done so by sticking to our roots of “there’s gotta be a better way” and through our relentless focus on providing our customers with quality, functional products.
A summary of our financial results is as follows:
See the “Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA” section for a reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. See also the information under the heading “Adjusted EBITDA” in the section “How We Assess the Performance of Our Business” for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
Economic Conditions
The macroeconomic environment is experiencing inflation, including rising transportation costs, and recessionary concerns and general uncertainty regarding the future economic environment and therefore we cannot predict the ultimate impact of these economic conditions on our operational and financial performance. Given the uncertainty, we cannot reasonably estimate store traffic patterns and the prolonged impact on overall consumer demand. However, we expect that our operations will continue to be impacted by these macroeconomic headwinds, which may increase our merchandise costs, affect merchandise availability, and impact our financial performance.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling relating to tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Following the ruling, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies issued additional guidance and took actions affecting the assessment, collection, refund, and/or protest of certain tariffs. We are evaluating the impact of these developments on previously paid tariffs and related matters, including the potential for refunds or other recovery. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount or timing of any recovery, if any, or the ultimate impact of these developments on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
How We Assess the Performance of Our Business
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of financial and operating measures that affect our operating results.
21
Net Sales
Net sales reflect our sale of merchandise plus shipping and handling revenue collected from our customers, less returns and discounts. Direct-to-consumer sales are recognized upon shipment to a customer, while store sales are recognized at the point of sale.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is equal to our net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit as a percentage of our net sales is referred to as gross margin. Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise; inventory shrinkage; inventory adjustments due to obsolescence, including excess and slow-moving inventory and lower of cost and net realizable reserves; inbound freight; and freight from our fulfillment centers to our retail stores. The primary drivers of the costs of individual goods are raw material costs. Depreciation and amortization are excluded from gross profit. Shipping and handling revenue is also reflected in our gross profit and gross profit margin. Our gross profit may not be comparable to other retailers, as we do not include distribution network and store occupancy expenses in calculating gross profit, but instead we include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold. These expenses include all payroll and payroll-related expenses and occupancy expenses related to our stores and to our operations at our headquarters, including utilities, depreciation and amortization. They also include marketing expense, which primarily includes television, digital and social media advertising, print production, mailing and print advertising costs, as well as all logistics costs associated with shipping product to our customers, consulting and software expenses and professional services fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales is usually higher in lower-volume quarters and lower in higher-volume quarters because a portion of the costs are relatively fixed.
While we expect these expenses to increase as we continue to increase brand awareness and invest in infrastructure to support our business, we believe these expenses will decrease as a percentage of sales over time. Our shipping and handling expenses typically increase during the second half of the year due to additional surcharges during our peak selling season.
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance, as it provides a clearer picture of operating results by excluding the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization costs and eliminating expenses that are not reflective of underlying business performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, including non-cash and other items we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other items. This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Three Months Ended May 3, 2026, Compared to Three Months Ended May 4, 2025
Net Sales
The decrease in net sales for the three months ended May 3, 2026 was primarily driven by a decline in direct-to-consumer net sales resulting from declines in web traffic and web conversion due to reduced promotional activity partially offset by higher average order values. The decline in direct-to-consumer net sales was partially offset by an increase in store net sales driven by improved shopper conversion and higher average order values.
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit and gross margin rate for the three months ended May 3, 2026 was primarily driven by an increase in average unit retail sales from reduced promotional activity coupled with an improvement in product costs from our direct to factory sourcing initiative.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense and as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended May 3, 2026 was mainly driven by leverage on outbound shipping costs due to higher average order values coupled with a reduction in personnel and marketing related expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The impairment charge recorded during the three months ended May 3, 2026 related to the closure of our Salt Lake City fulfillment center and corresponding leasehold improvements, which is discussed in further detail in Note 2 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The impairment charge recorded during the three months ended May 4, 2025 related to certain software that was no longer utilized in our operations.
Restructuring Expense
The restructuring expenses incurred for the three months ended May 3, 2026 related to the closure of our Salt Lake City fulfillment center. Refer to Note 13 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the closure of the fulfillment center.
23
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased for the three months ended May 3, 2026 due to a lower average balance on our outstanding line of credit.
Income Taxes
The decrease was primarily driven by the additional valuation allowance established in the first quarter of 2025.
Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA
The following table presents reconciliations of net loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, for the periods indicated below. See the above section titled “How We Assess the Performance of Our Business,” for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our business relies on cash from operating activities and a credit facility as our primary sources of liquidity. Our primary cash needs have been for inventory, marketing and advertising, payroll, store leases, and capital expenditures associated with infrastructure and information technology. The most significant components of our working capital are cash, inventory, accounts payable and other current liabilities. At May 3, 2026, our net working capital was $62.3 million, including $6.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.
In April 2025, we entered into a credit agreement, which was subsequently amended throughout 2025 and provides us with borrowings of up to $100.0 million that are available under an asset-based revolving senior credit facility with a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Due to the seasonality of our business, a significant amount of cash from operating activities is generated during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. During the first three quarters of our fiscal year, we typically are net users of cash in our operating activities through funding received on our line of credit as we acquire inventory in anticipation of our peak selling season, which typically occurs in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. We also use cash in our investing activities for capital expenditures throughout all four quarters of our fiscal year.
We believe that our cash flow from operating activities and the availability of cash under our credit facility will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net loss adjusted for non-cash items that include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.
The decrease in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended May 3, 2026 was primarily due to the increase in gross margin rate, decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed in further detail above, and decreased trade payables and accrued expenses primarily from improved inventory management.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures related to investments in infrastructure, retail stores and information technology.
The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in purchases of property and equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and payments related to our revolving line of credit as well as payments on finance lease obligations.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended May 3, 2026 was primarily due to lower proceeds from our line of credit as a result of lower use of cash in our operations.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We evaluate our accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
As of the date of this filing, there were no significant changes to any of the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 14 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
25
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in the market risks described in our 2025 Form 10-K. See Note 3 “Debt and Credit Agreement,” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for disclosure on our interest rate related to borrowings under our credit agreement.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Section 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires management of an issuer subject to the Exchange Act to evaluate, with the participation of the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, the effectiveness of the issuer’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
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
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K, or other SEC filings. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended May 3, 2026, which were not registered under the Securities Act.
The following table contains information regarding shares acquired by us during the quarter, which consisted solely of shares acquired from employees in lieu of amounts required to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of the employees’ restricted stock during the three months ended May 3, 2026.
