The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~August 3, 2019~~May 2, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending ~~February 1, 2020~~January 30, 2021 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.

~~Reclassifications—Certain items~~COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have ~~been reclassified from their prior year classifications~~a significant impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial position. At present, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative effect on the Company's liquidity and net sales. Due to ~~conform~~heightened uncertainty relating to the ~~current year presentation. These reclassifications~~impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, our liquidity and net sales may be further impacted if we are unable to appropriately manage our inventory levels and expenses.

The Company began closing stores on March 19, 2020 as mandated by state and local governments, and by April 9, 2020, all 285 store locations were temporarily closed. At the peak of store closures, approximately 90% of Dillard's 38,000 associates were furloughed. The Company began re-opening stores on May 5, 2020, and by June 2, 2020, all stores had been re-opened.

As part of the Company's liquidity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the Company borrowed $779 million under the credit agreement, which was repaid concurrent with the execution of the amended credit agreement. At May 2, 2020, no ~~effect~~borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $21.0 million were issued under the amended credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of $779.0 million. See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement, for additional information.

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets and operating lease assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on ~~net income or stockholders' equity~~our business and determined that as ~~previously reported.~~of May 2, 2020, the carrying values of our property and equipment and operating lease assets were recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded for the quarter ended May 2, 2020. We will continue to monitor these factors and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future periods and continue to assess these assets for impairment as needed.

Note 2. Accounting Standards

Recently ~~Adopted Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification~~

~~In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,~~ to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under these amendments, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases under Accounting Standards Codification 840, ~~Leases~~ ~~("ASC 840").

The amendments within ASU No. ~~2018-14 is~~2019-12 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, ~~ending~~and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its ~~notes to~~consolidated financial statements.

~~Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies Updates~~

~~Operating Leases~~—The Company leases retail stores, office space and equipment under operating leases. The Company records right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for operating leases with lease terms exceeding twelve months. The right-of-use assets are adjusted for lease incentives, including construction allowances, and prepaid rent. The Company recognizes minimum rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many leases contain contingent rent provisions. Contingent rent is expensed as incurred.

~~The lease term used for lease evaluation includes renewal option periods only in instances in which the exercise of the option period is reasonably certain.~~

~~Revenue Recognition~~—The Company's retail operations segment recognizes merchandise revenue at the "point of sale." Allowance for sales returns and a return asset are recorded as components of net sales in the period in which the related sales are recorded. Sales taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and are recorded in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses until remitted to the taxing authorities.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") owns and manages Dillard's private label cards under a 10-year agreement ("Wells Fargo Alliance"). Pursuant to the Wells Fargo Alliance, we receive on-going cash compensation from Wells Fargo based upon the portfolio's earnings. The compensation received from the portfolio is determined monthly and has no recourse provisions. The amount the Company receives is dependent on the level of sales on Wells Fargo accounts, the level of balances carried on Wells Fargo accounts by Wells Fargo customers, payment rates on Wells Fargo accounts, finance charge rates and other fees on Wells Fargo accounts, the level of credit losses for the Wells Fargo accounts as well as Wells Fargo's ability to extend credit to our customers. The Company's share of income under the Wells Fargo Alliance is included as a component of service charges and other income. We participate in the marketing of the private label cards, which includes the cost of customer reward programs. Through the reward programs, customers earn points that are redeemable for discounts on future purchases. The Company defers a portion of its net sales upon the sale of merchandise to its customer reward program members that is recognized in net sales when the reward is redeemed or expired at a future date.

Revenue from CDI Contractors, LLC ("CDI"), the Company's general contracting construction company, construction contracts is generally measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated contract costs (the "cost-to-cost method"). The length of each contract varies but is typically nine to eighteen months. The progress towards completion is determined by relating the actual costs of work performed to date to the current estimated total costs of the respective contracts. When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss, the entire loss is recorded in the current period.

Note 4.3. Business Segments

The Company operates in 2 reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”).

For the Company’s retail operations, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into 1 reportable segment. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates 1 store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information.

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line:

The March 2018 Plan authorization permits the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock in the open market, pursuant to preset trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or through privately negotiated transactions. The March 2018 plan has no expiration date.

The following is a summary of share repurchase activity for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended				Three Months Ended
	August 3, 2019		August 4, 2018		August 3, 2019		August 4, 2018		May 2, 2020		May 4, 2019
Cost of shares repurchased	$	48,861	$	3,063	$	66,301	$	37,879	$	61,829	$	17,440
Number of shares repurchased	819		39		1,065		518		999		246
Average price per share	$	59.69	$	77.75	$	62.27	$	73.15	$	61.91	$	70.85

Note ~~10.~~9. Income Taxes

The Company expects to be in a net operating loss position for the fiscal year. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows for net operating loss carryback to years in which the statutory federal tax rate was 35%. During the three months ended ~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018,~~May 2, 2020, income tax benefit differed from what would be computed using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit of $14.8 million related to the carryback provision of the CARES Act. This net tax benefit was comprised of tax expense of $25.2 million for the remeasurement of beginning deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax benefit of $40.0 million for the impact of the net operating loss carryback. Income tax benefit for the quarter also included the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income ~~taxes and federal tax credits.~~taxes.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3,~~May 4, 2019, ~~and August 4, 2018,~~ income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income ~~taxes and federal tax credits.~~taxes.

Note ~~13.~~12. Leases

We adopted the requirements of ASU No. 2016-02 as of February 3, 2019, utilizing the optional effective date transition method allowing the application of the new standard at the adoption date with comparative periods presented in accordance with ASC 840, ~~Leases. At adoption, we made the following practical expedient policy elections:~~

~~We applied the new standard using the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess:~~

◦~~Whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;~~


◦	~~Lease classification for any expired or existing leases, which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classifications; and~~

◦~~Indirect costs for any existing leases.~~

~~We elected the practical expedient that allowed us to use hindsight in determining the lease term.~~

~~We elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements.~~

We elected the accounting policy to not recognize a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company records lease expense for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in rentals on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

~~Lease components (e.g. fixed rent payments) are accounted for separately from non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance costs).~~

The Company leases retail stores, office space and equipment under operating leases.The majority of these operating leases were impacted by the adoption of the new standard. At adoption, we recorded right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities totaling $57.0 million and $56.2 million, respectively.leases. As of ~~August 3,~~May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 right-of-use operating lease assets, which are recorded in operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled ~~$52.6~~$47.9 million and $52.8 million, respectively, and operating lease liabilities, which are recorded in current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, totaled ~~$52.1 million. The impact of the adoption of the new standard was immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows~~$48.2 million and ~~condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.~~$52.0 million, respectively.

In determining our operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, we ~~applied~~apply an incremental borrowing rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASU No. 2016-02 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever that rate is readily determinable; furthermore, if the implicit rate is not readily determinable, a lessee may use its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a ~~collaterlized~~collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates that align with applicable lease terms, we ~~utilized~~utilize a model consistent with the credit quality of our outstanding debt instruments.

Renewal options from two to 20 years exist on the majority of leased properties. The Company has sole discretion in exercising the lease renewal options. We do not recognize operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it has been determined that we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception. The depreciable life of operating lease assets and related leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term.

Contingent rentals on certain leases are based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of specified amounts. Other contingent rentals are based entirely on a percentage of sales. The Company's operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February ~~2, 2019.~~1, 2020.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

During the ~~second quarter~~three months ended May 2, 2020, total retail sales decreased 47%. Due to the temporary closure of ~~fiscal 2019 was disappointing~~the Company's brick-and-mortar stores as well as the interdependence between in-store and online sales, the Company reported no comparable store sales data for the three months ended May 2, 2020. Retail gross margins decreased ~~2% from last year's second~~significantly to 12.8% during the three months ended May 2, 2020 compared to 37.8% during the three months ended May 4, 2019, primarily due to markdowns. The Company was able to reduce inventory by 14% compared to the prior year first quarter by reducing purchases 33% through the cancellation, delay and ~~markdowns weighed heavily on gross margin. Gross margin from retail operations decreased 319 basis points~~suspension of ~~net sales.~~merchandise orders and by taking aggressive markdowns. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $290.4 million compared to $405.2 million from ~~retail operations increased 72 basis points~~the prior year first quarter primarily due to decreases in payroll expense associated with the furlough of ~~net sales.~~store associates, support facility functions and corporate employees. At the peak of store closures, approximately 90% of Dillard's 38,000 associates were furloughed. Payroll expense for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020 was $168.5 million compared to $257.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2019, a decline of 35%. The Company reported a consolidated net loss of ~~$40.7~~$162.0 million ($~~1.59~~6.94 per share) ~~for the current year second quarter~~ compared to ~~a consolidated~~ net ~~loss~~income of ~~$2.9~~$78.6 million ($~~0.10~~2.99 per share) for the prior year ~~second~~first quarter.

The Company expects to be in a net operating loss position for fiscal year 2020. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows for net operating loss carryback to years in which the tax rate was 35%. Included in net loss for the quarter ended ~~August 3,~~May 2, 2020 is a net tax benefit of $14.8 million ($0.63 per share) related to this provision.

Included in net income for the quarter ended May 4, 2019 iswas a pretax gain ~~on disposal~~ of ~~assets of $4.9~~$7.4 million ($~~3.8~~5.8 million after tax or ~~$0.15~~$0.22 per share)~~. The gain on disposal of assets primarily includes~~ related to the sale of ~~one store property.~~two stores.

During the three months ended ~~August 3, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, the Company purchased ~~$48.9~~$61.8 million of its outstanding Class A Common Stock under its stock repurchase plan authorized by the Company's Board of Directors in March 2018 (the "March 2018 Plan"). As of ~~August 3, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, authorization of ~~$340.6~~$206.9 million remained under the ~~plan.~~March 2018 Plan.

As of ~~August 3, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, the Company had working capital of ~~$861.6~~$707.8 million (including cash and cash equivalents ~~and restricted cash~~ of ~~$135.3~~$70.0 million) and ~~$565.6~~$565.7 million of total debt outstanding, excluding finance lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities. Cash flows used in operating activities were ~~$18.6~~$111.1 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3, 2019.~~May 2, 2020.

The Company ~~operated 289~~maintained 285 Dillard's ~~locations,~~stores, including 2930 clearance centers, and one internet store at ~~August 3, 2019.~~May 2, 2020.

On February 25, 2020, the Company provided estimates for certain financial statement items, including depreciation and amortization, rentals, interest and debt expense, net and capital expenditures, for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021 based upon current conditions at that time, which did not include the impact of COVID-19. Due to heightened uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, the Company previously withdrew its 2020 guidance.

During the four weeks ended May 30, 2020 (fiscal May), we re-opened most of our full-line stores: 45 stores on May 5th, 80 stores on May 12th, 115 stores on May 19th and 20th and 8 stores on May 26th. All of these stores have been operating at reduced hours. Sales performance in these stores since re-opening and through May 30th was approximately 68% of prior year sales on corresponding days. As of June 2, 2020, all Dillard’s stores had been re-opened.

General

Net sales. Net sales includes merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (“CDI”), the Company’s general contracting construction company. Comparable store sales includes sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the current quarter and the corresponding quarter for the prior year, including our internet store. Comparable store sales excludes changes in the allowance for sales returns. Non-comparable store sales includes: sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal

year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.

Sales occur as a result of interaction with customers across multiple points of contact, creating an interdependence between in-store and online sales. Online orders are fulfilled from both fulfillment centers and retail stores. Additionally, online customers have the ability to buy online and pick up in-store. Retail in-store customers have the ability to purchase items that may be ordered and fulfilled from either a fulfillment center or another retail store location. Online customers may return orders via mail, or customers may return orders placed online to retail store locations. Customers who earn reward points under the private label credit card program may earn and redeem rewards through in-store or online purchases.

Service charges and other income. Service charges and other income includes income generated through the long-term private label card alliance with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Alliance”). Other income includes rental income, shipping and handling fees, gift card breakage and lease income on leased departments.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise sold (net of purchase discounts, non-specific margin maintenance allowances and merchandise margin maintenance allowances), bankcard fees, freight to the distribution centers, employee and promotional discounts, shipping to customers and direct payroll for salon personnel. Cost of sales also includes CDI contract costs, which comprise all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, employee benefits and insurance program costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include buying, occupancy, selling, distribution, warehousing, store and corporate expenses (including payroll and employee benefits), insurance, employment taxes, advertising, management information systems, legal and other corporate level expenses. Buying expenses consist of payroll, employee benefits and travel for design, buying and merchandising personnel.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization on property and equipment.

Rentals. Rentals includes expenses for store leases, including contingent rent, office space and data processing and other equipment rentals.

Interest and debt expense, net. Interest and debt expense includes interest, net of interest income and capitalized interest, relating to the Company’s unsecured notes, subordinated debentures and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility. Interest and debt expense also includes gains and losses on note repurchases, if any, amortization of financing costs and interest on finance lease liabilities.

Other expense. Other expense includes the interest cost and net actuarial loss components of net periodic benefit costs related to the Company's unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan and charges related to the write-off of deferred financing fees, if any.

~~(Gain) loss~~Gain on disposal of assets. ~~(Gain) loss~~Gain on disposal of assets includes the net gain or loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, as well as gains from insurance proceeds in excess of the cost basis of insured assets, if any.

LIBOR

The use of LIBOR is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. At this time, there is no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR beyond 2021 or of any particular replacement rate. Going forward, we intend to work with our lenders to use a suitable alternative reference rate for the amended credit agreement, the Wells Fargo Alliance and any other applicable agreements. We will continue to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Seasonality

Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Income Taxes

The Company expects to be in a net operating loss position for the fiscal year. The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows for net operating loss carryback to years in which the statutory federal tax rate was 35%. The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately ~~22.0%~~29.0% and ~~25.1%~~22.0% for the three months ended ~~August 3,~~May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, ~~and August 4, 2018,~~ respectively. During the three months ended ~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018,~~May 2, 2020, income tax benefit differed from what would be computed using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit of $14.8 million related to the carryback provision of the CARES Act. This net tax benefit was comprised of tax expense of $25.2 million for the remeasurement of beginning deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax benefit of $40.0 million for the impact of the net operating loss carryback. Income tax benefit for the quarter also included the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income ~~taxes and federal tax credits.~~taxes.

The Company received income of ~~approximately $42~~$20.8 million and ~~$43~~$21.1 million from the Wells Fargo Alliance during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3,~~May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. The Company is unable to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the portfolio's earnings and ~~August 4, 2018, respectively.~~ the on-going cash compensation from the Wells Fargo Alliance.

Capital expenditures were ~~$38.0~~$20.2 million and ~~$86.0~~$18.7 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3,~~May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, ~~and August 4, 2018,~~ respectively. The capital expenditures were primarily related to equipment purchases and the remodeling of existing stores

during the current year. ~~Capital expenditures for fiscal 2019 are expected to be approximately $125 million compared to actual expenditures of $137 million during fiscal 2018.~~

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3,~~May 4, 2019, ~~we closed our~~the Company received cash proceeds of $13.4 million and recorded a related gain of $7.4 million for the sale of two store locations in Boardman, Ohio ~~(186,000~~and Boynton Beach, Florida. The proceeds from the Boardman, Ohio store were held in escrow for the acquisition of replacement property under like-kind exchange agreements. The escrow accounts were administered by an intermediary. Pursuant to the like-kind exchange agreements, the cash was restricted for a maximum of 180 days from the date of the property sale pending the acquisition of replacement property. As of May 4, 2019, the acquisition of replacement property had not yet occurred; therefore, the proceeds were classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company opened an 85,000 square ~~feet) and Muskogee, Oklahoma (70,000~~foot expansion at Columbia Mall in Columbia, Missouri (dual-anchor location totaling 185,000 square feet). During the second quarter of 2020, the Company plans to replace a 100,000 square foot leased facility at Richland Fashion Mall in Waco, Texas with a 125,000 square foot owned facility (dual-anchor location totaling 190,000 square feet).

The Company has announced upcoming store closures at Central Mall in Lawton, Oklahoma (100,000 square feet); Crossroads Center in Waterloo, Iowa (150,000 square feet); and North Plains Mall in Clovis, New Mexico (62,000 square feet). The Company expects to close the locations during the second quarter of 2020 with minimal closing costs. We remain committed to closing under-performing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to such stores when they close.

During the six months ended August 3, 2019, the Company received cash proceeds of $22.0 million and recorded a related gain of $12.3 million for the sale of three store locations in Boardman, Ohio, Boynton Beach, Florida and Cary, North Carolina. The proceeds from the Boardman, Ohio store and Cary, North Carolina store sales are being held in escrow for the acquisition of replacement property under like-kind exchange agreements. The escrow accounts are administered by an intermediary. Pursuant to the like-kind exchange agreements, the cash is restricted for a maximum of 180 days from the date of the property sale pending the acquisition of replacement property. As of August 3, 2019, the acquisitions of replacement properties had not yet occurred; therefore, the proceeds were classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the six months ended August 4, 2018, the Company received cash proceeds of $1.9 million from the sale of a location classified as an asset held for sale. These proceeds were being held in escrow for the acquisition of replacement property under like-kind exchange agreements. The Company used the proceeds for the acquisition of a replacement property at the Oaks Mall in Gainesville, Florida (104,000 square feet).

~~During the six months ended August 4, 2018, the Company paid the remaining $161.0 million principal on the 7.13% unsecured notes that matured on August 1, 2018.~~

The Company had cash on hand of ~~$118.1~~$70.0 million as of ~~August 3, 2019.~~May 2, 2020. As part of our overall liquidity management strategy and for peak working capital requirements, the Company ~~maintains~~maintained an unsecured ~~revolving~~ credit facility that ~~provides~~provided a borrowing capacity of $800 million with a $200 million expansion option ("credit agreement") until the credit agreement was amended in April 2020 (the "amended credit agreement"). After giving effect to the amendment, the amended credit agreement became secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries. The amended credit agreement is available to the Company for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The rate of interest on borrowings under the amended credit agreement is LIBOR plus ~~1.375%~~1.75%, and the commitment fee for unused borrowings is ~~0.20%~~0.30% per annum. ~~To be~~So long as availability exceeds $100 million and no event of default occurs and is continuing, there are no financial covenant requirements under the amended credit agreement. The Company paid $2.9 million in ~~compliance with~~issuance costs related to the ~~financial covenants~~amended credit agreement, which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As part of the Company's liquidity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the Company borrowed $779 million under the credit agreement, which was repaid concurrent with the ~~Company's total leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.5 to 1.0, and~~execution of the ~~Company's coverage ratio cannot be less than 2.5 to 1.0, as defined in the~~amended credit agreement. At ~~August 3, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the credit agreement.~~

~~At August 3, 2019, $117.9 million in~~May 2, 2020, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling ~~$20.6~~$21.0 million were issued under the amended credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of ~~$661.5~~$779.0 million.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~August 3, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, the Company repurchased ~~1.1~~1.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of ~~$62.27~~$61.91 per share for ~~$66.3~~$61.8 million under the Company's March 2018 Plan. ~~During the six months ended August 4, 2018, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $73.15 per share for $37.9 million.~~ Additionally, the Company paid ~~$2.0~~$7.3 million for share repurchases that had not yet settled but were accrued at February ~~3, 2018.~~1, 2020. During the three months ended May 4, 2019, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $70.85 per share for $17.4 million (including the accrual of $2.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of May 4, 2019) under the Company's March 2018 Plan. At ~~August 3, 2019, $340.6~~May 2, 2020, $206.9 million of authorization remained under the March 2018 Plan. The ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative effect on the Company's liquidity and net sales. Due to heightened uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, our liquidity and net sales may be further impacted if we are unable to appropriately manage our inventory levels and expenses.

~~During fiscal 2019, the~~The Company expects to finance its ~~capital expenditures, working capital requirements and stock repurchases~~operations during fiscal 2020 from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and utilization of the credit facility.

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the following risk factor may have the additional effect of heightening many of the risks noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Otherwise, except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on public health, our supply chain, the health and well-being of our employees and customers, and the retail industry in general, has had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since that time, the virus has rapidly spread to other countries around the world, including the United States. In response to the pandemic, national and local governments, including those in the regions in which we operate, have taken various measures to attempt to slow the spread of the virus, including travel bans; prohibitions on group events and large gatherings; extended shutdowns of schools, government offices and certain businesses; curfews and recommendations to practice “social distancing.” Accordingly, the Company began closing its stores on March 19, 2020, and all 285 store locations were temporarily closed by April 9, 2020.

The Company has reopened all stores as of June 2, 2020. Stores are operating at reduced hours and implementing certain safety measures to ensure the safety of our customers and associates, which may have the effect of discouraging shopping or limiting the occupancy of our stores. These measures, and any additional measures that have been and may continue to be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have substantially decreased and may continue to decrease, the number of customers that visit our stores and the shopping malls in which our stores are located, which has had, and will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in place, what additional measures may be imposed, or when our operations will be restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, our business depends on consumer discretionary spending, and as such, our results are particularly sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence. COVID-19 has significantly impacted economic conditions, resulting in, among other things, unprecedented increases in the number of people seeking jobless benefits and a significant decline in global financial markets. As a result, even when all of our store locations are fully operational, there can be no guarantee that our revenue will return to its pre-COVID-19 levels.

The Company sources a significant portion of its private label and exclusive brand merchandise from countries that have experienced widespread transmission of the virus, including China. Additionally, many of the Company’s branded merchandise vendors may also source a significant portion of their merchandise from these same countries. Manufacturing capacity in those countries has been materially impacted by the pandemic, which has negatively impacted our supply chain. If this continues, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to locate alternative sources of supply for our merchandise on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to adequately source our merchandise or purchase appropriate amounts of merchandise from branded vendors, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Additionally, in the event that the Company were to experience widespread transmission of the virus at one or more of the Company’s stores or other facilities, the Company could suffer reputational harm or other potential liability. Further, the Company’s business operations may be materially and adversely affected if a significant number of the Company’s employees are impacted by the virus

In March 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's Class A Common Stock under an open-ended stock repurchase plan ("March 2018 Plan"). This repurchase plan permits the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock in the open market, pursuant to preset trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or through privately negotiated transactions. The ~~repurchase plan~~March 2018 Plan has no expiration date.

During the three months ended ~~August 3, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, the Company repurchased ~~0.8~~1.0 million shares totaling ~~$48.9~~$61.8 million. As of ~~August 3, 2019, $340.6~~May 2, 2020, $206.9 million of authorization remained under the March 2018 Plan.
