The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market for approximately 84% of consolidated inventories, which represents divisions using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. For the remaining portion, the Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For inventory valued at LIFO, the Company regularly reviews the inventory for excess, obsolete or impaired inventory, and writes it down to the lower of cost or market. If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method had been used, consolidated inventories would have been $14.9 million and $10.9 million higher at January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively. In 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded LIFO provisions of $4.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, on certain inventories as a result of product cost inflation. Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to inventories.
