You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “vision,” “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements include those we make regarding the following matters:

•

our ability to anticipate and effectively respond to disruptions or inefficiencies in our distribution network, e-commerce fulfillment function and transportation system, including availability and cost of import and domestic freight;

•

the effects of potential changes to U.S. trade regulations and policies, including tariffs, on our business;

•

developments involving our competitors and our industry;

•

our ability to maintain adequate liquidity, our level of indebtedness, the impact of lease obligations and the availability of capital, including our ability to raise additional capital, could limit our financial flexibility and cash flow necessary to fund working capital, planned capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes or ongoing needs of our business;

•

our ability to regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market;

•

our expectations regarding the seasonality of our business;

•

our ability to manage the distinct risks facing our e-commerce business and maintain a relevant omni-channel experience for our customers;

•

our ability to maintain or negotiate favorable lease terms for our store locations;

our ability to attract and retain a qualified management team and other team members while controlling our labor costs;

•

our reliance on and relationships with third-party service providers;

•

our reliance on and relationships with foreign suppliers and their ability to supply us with adequate, timely and cost-effective products for resale;

•

our ability, and our third-party service providers’ ability, to maintain security and prevent unauthorized access to electronic and other confidential information;

the impacts of potential disruptions to our information systems, including our websites and mobile applications;

•

our ability to respond to risks associated with existing and future payment options;

•

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and events in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
