CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our SEC filings and public announcements may include forward-looking statements about future events. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which typically are not historical in nature. We intend for all forward-looking statements contained herein, in our press releases or on our website, and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, without limitation, the impact of the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (which among other things, may affect many of the following risks); demand for our products, which may be impacted by competitive conditions and/or evolving consumer shopping patterns; macroeconomic factors that may impact consumer discretionary spending for apparel and related products; the timing of shipments requested by our wholesale customers; weather; expected pricing levels; costs of products as well as the raw materials used in those products; expected pricing levels; costs of labor; the timing of shipments requested by our wholesale customers; changes in international, federal or state tax, trade and other laws and regulations, including the potential imposition of additional duties; weather; fluctuations and volatility in global financial markets; retention of and disciplined execution by key management; the timing and cost of store and restaurant openings and remodels as well as other capital expenditures; changes, and the impact on our business operations of such changes, in international, federal or state tax, trade and other laws and regulations, including the potential imposition of additional duties, tariffs, taxes or other charges or barriers to trade resulting from ongoing trade developments with China and its impact on global markets, acquisition and disposition activities, including our ability to timely recognize expected synergies from acquisitions; expected outcomes of pending or potential litigation and regulatory actions; the impact of any restructuring initiatives we may undertake in one or more of our business lines; access to capital and/or credit markets; the impact of the CARES Act and other legislation; changes in accounting standards and related guidance; and factors that could affect our consolidated effective tax rate.rate, including the opportunity to carry back anticipated Fiscal 2020 operating losses to pre U.S. Tax Reform periods. Forward-looking statements reflect our expectations at the time such forward lookingforward-looking statements are made, based on information available at such time, and are not guarantees of performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Important factors relating to these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I,I. Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018,2019, as updated in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in this report, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC. We caution that one should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We disclaim any intention, obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

SECONDFIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 20192020

1.    Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our full fiscal year.

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ResultsWe assessed certain accounting matters, including the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, provisions for credit losses, inventory markdowns and the estimated effective tax rate, that require consideration of forecasted financial information based on information reasonably available to us as well as the uncertain future impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These assessments resulted in the recognition of certain amounts in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, as discussed below. Future changes in the business environment, our expectations and assumptions as compared to the information at the time of this filing regarding the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors could result in additional material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant effect on overall economic conditions and our operations, resulting in a significant net sales reduction and a net loss in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020. While our mission remains the enhancement of long-term shareholder value, our focus during this crisis has been, and will continue to be, the health and well-being of our employees, customers and communities as well as protecting our brands and preserving liquidity.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw reduced consumer traffic starting in early March 2020 and temporarily closed all our retail and restaurant locations in North America on March 17, 2020. Subsequent to those closures, we also temporarily closed all our retail locations in Australia.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interimforeseeable future, including as a result of temporary closure of our retail and restaurant locations, which continued into the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020; decreased customer traffic in stores and restaurants even as we reopen locations in accordance with federal, state and local guidelines, including due to limited operating hours and capacity and seating limitations; uncertainty as to continued strength of our brands’ e-commerce websites during the pendency of the pandemic; overall changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits; any potential disruptions to our supply chain; and a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies.

For many reasons, including those identified above, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to predict at this time, and its ultimate duration and severity will depend on future developments. We believe that cash on hand and our credit facility provide adequate funds to support our operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for Fiscal 2020 and beyond. We could also experience other potential adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic including charges resulting from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, provisions for credit losses and inventory markdowns as well as potential changes to the estimated effective tax rate.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, net sales in each of our operating groups decreased from prior periods presented are not necessarily indicativeresulting in significantly lower operating results, including operating losses in each group other than Lilly Pulitzer. As a result of the COVID-19 impact on our operating results, to be expectedas well as lower operating results projected for future periods, we concluded that a goodwill impairment test triggering event had occurred for the goodwill associated with our Lilly Pulitzer, Southern Tide and TBBC reporting units. Further, we determined that an intangible asset impairment test triggering event had occurred for our full fiscal year.indefinite-lived trademarks for Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide. These goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset triggering events required the need for a quantitative interim impairment assessment over these reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, in accordance with our accounting policies as described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019. These assessments concluded that the fair values of the Southern Tide goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of May 2, 2020 did not exceed their respective carrying values, resulting in impairment charges as discussed in Note 4. These impairment charges, which totaled $60 million, were recorded in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in our consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, due to the lower operating results and lower projected operating results, we performed recoverability tests for certain other non-current assets, including property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and operating lease assets, and determined that the amounts included in the asset group are recoverable, except for a $0.2 million charge related to a finite-lived intangible asset in Lanier Apparel.

The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018,2019, except for the adoption of the new lease accountingcredit losses and income tax guidance in Fiscal 2019 as discussed below and in Note 5.below.

Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued revised lease accounting guidance. The guidance requires companies to record substantially all leases, including operating leases, as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. For these leases, we are required to recognize (1) an operating lease asset which will represent our right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for a lease term and (2) a lease liability equal to our obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. The guidance was adopted on the first day of the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach allows us to apply the standard and related disclosures to the financial statements for the period of adoption and apply the previous guidance in the prior year comparative periods. The adoption of the new guidance had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of the non-cash recognition of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. At adoption of the revised lease accounting guidance, we elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, have not reassessed (1) whether exiting or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases, or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Refer to Note 5 for additional disclosures and information about accounting for leases.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance, as amended, on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance amends the impairmentprevious incurred loss model by requiring that companies use a forward-looking approach based oncurrent expected lossesloss approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade receivables.and other receivables, as well as other financial assets and instruments. We estimate current expected credit losses based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions and anticipated trends. We adopted the guidance on the first day of Fiscal 2020 resulting in a charge to retained earnings of $0.5 million and a reduction to various asset amounts included in our consolidated balance sheet at adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effectiveamends and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in existing guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas. On the first day of Fiscal 2020, with earlywe adopted the provisions related to classification of franchise taxes partially based on income and changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries on a modified retrospective basis while the other provisions were adopted on a prospective basis. The adoption permitted. We are currently assessingof the impact that adopting thisnew guidance willdid not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements at adoption.

Other recently issued guidance that was adopted in Fiscal 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption not discussed above are either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2.    Operating Group Information:  We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our operating group structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable. Our business is primarily operated through our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, Lanier Apparel and Southern Tide operating groups.

Table of Contents

Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide each design, source, market and distribute apparel and related products bearing their respective trademarks and license their trademarks for other product categories, while Lanier Apparel designs, sources and distributes branded and private label men’s tailored clothing, sportswear and other products. Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, the elimination of inter-segment sales and any other items that are not allocated to the operating groups, including LIFO inventory accounting adjustments. Because our LIFO inventory pool does not correspond to our operating group definitions, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments are not allocated to the operating groups. Corporate and Other also includes the operations of other businesses which are not included in our operating groups, including the operations of TBBC, Duck Head and our Lyons, Georgia distribution center. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, as a result of certain organizational and management reporting changes, our Duck Head operations, which were previously included in Lanier Apparel, are considered part of and included in Corporate and Other. Prior period amounts for Lanier Apparel and Corporate and Other were restated to conform to the presentation in the current period.

The table below presents certain financial information (in thousands) about our operating groups, as well as Corporate and Other. For a more extensive description of our operating groups, see Part I, Item 1. Business included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.2019.

In the ordinary course of our wholesale operations, we offer discounts, allowances and cooperative advertising support to some of our wholesale customers for certain products. We record these discounts, returns and allowances as a reduction to net sales in our consolidated statements of operations and as a reduction to receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets. As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, reserve balances recorded as a reduction to receivables related to these items were $9 million, $9 million and $8 million, respectively.

We extend credit to certain wholesale customers based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial capacity and condition, usually without requiring collateral. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific wholesale customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific provision for credit losses is taken as a reduction to accounts receivable to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Such amounts are ultimately written off at the time that the amounts are not considered collectible. For all other wholesale customer receivable amounts, we recognize estimated provisions for credit losses based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions, anticipated trends and considering the risk characteristics of the receivables, each of which is subjective and requires certain assumptions. As discussed in Note 1 above, during Fiscal 2020, we estimated these losses using the current expected loss approach including consideration of the expected impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our receivables, while in Fiscal 2019, we estimated these losses using the incurred loss model under the previous guidance. We include such charges and write-offs in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations and as a reduction to receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets. As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, our provision for credit losses related to receivables was $3 million, $1 million and $1 million, respectively. Provisions for credit losses expense for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $2 million and $0 million, respectively.

Substantially all amounts recognized in receivables, net represent receivables related to contracts with customers. In addition to trade and other receivables, income tax receivables of $1 million, $1 million and $1 million and tenant allowances due from landlord of $2 million, $1 million and $1 million are included in receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, prepaid expenses and other current assets included $4 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively, representing the estimated value of inventory for wholesale and direct to consumer sales returns. We did not have any significant contract assets related to contracts with customers, other than receivables and the value of inventory associated with reserves for expected sales returns, as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019.

An estimated sales return liability of $5 million, $3 million and $5 million for expected direct to consumer returns is classified in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities for gift cards purchased by consumers and merchandise credits received by customers but not yet redeemed, less any breakage income recognized to date, is included in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and totaled $12 million, $12 million and $12 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, respectively.

5.    Debt: We had $208 million of indebtedness outstanding as of May 2, 2020 under our $325 million Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”), compared to borrowings of $0 million as of February 1, 2020 and borrowings of $33 million as of May 4, 2019. The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of

14

Table of Contents

assets, (2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average borrowing rate of 1.7% as of May 2, 2020), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average unused availability or utilization, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity (July 2024), and (4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.

To the extent cash flow needs exceed cash flow provided by our operations we will have access, subject to its terms, to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any. Our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is also used to establish collateral for certain insurance programs and leases and to finance trade letters of credit for product purchases, which reduce the amounts available under our line of credit when issued. As of May 2, 2020, $3 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. After considering these limitations and the amount of eligible assets in our borrowing base, as of May 2, 2020, we had $114 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations on borrowings.

6.    Leases: In the ordinary course of business, we enter into real estate lease agreements for retail, food and beverage, office and warehouse/distribution space, as well as Corporateleases for certain equipment. Our leases have varying terms and Other.expirations and may have provisions to extend, renew or terminate the lease agreement at our discretion, among other terms and conditions. Our real estate lease terms are typically for a period of ten years or less and typically require rent payments with specified rent escalations periodically during the lease term. Our real estate leases usually provide for payments of our pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses applicable to the property, and certain of our leases require payment of sales taxes on rental payments. Also, our retail and restaurant leases often provide for contingent rent based on sales if certain sales thresholds are achieved. For many of our lease agreements, we obtain lease incentives from the landlord for tenant improvement or other allowances. Our lease agreements do not include any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive financial covenants.

Substantially all of our leases are classified as long-term operating leases. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The significant judgments in calculating the present value of lease obligations include determining the lease term and lease payment amounts, which are dependent upon our assessment of the likelihood of exercising any renewal or termination options that are at our discretion, as well as the discount rate applied to the unpaid lease payments. The operating lease asset at commencement reflects the operating lease liability reduced for any lease incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Lease expense for operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable rental payments for real estate taxes, sales taxes, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent rent based on a percentage of net sales or adjusted periodically for inflation are not included in lease expense used to calculate the present value of lease obligations recognized in our consolidated balance sheet, but instead are recognized as incurred.

We account for the underlying operating lease asset at the individual lease level. Typically, we do not include any renewal or termination options at our discretion in the underlying lease term at the time of lease commencement as the probability of exercise is not reasonably certain. The lease guidance requires us to discount unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our estimated incremental borrowing rate. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date. Our estimated incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis over the lease term to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, the FASB provided for an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical expedient will only apply when a lease is modified to allow for a rental concession and (1) the revised consideration

is substantially the same as or less than, the original consideration, (2) the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before June 30, 2021, and (3) no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the leases. The practical expedient provides that the lessee is not required to assess whether the eligible rent concessions are lease modifications if the above conditions are met for the lease agreement. We have elected to apply the practical expedient for all eligible lease concessions resulting in the rent concession being recorded as an adjustment to variable lease payments and recognized in our statement of operations in that period. The amounts of concessions recognized pursuant to this practical expedient in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 were not material.

Substantially all lease expense is included in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations. For the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, operating lease expense, which includes amounts used in determining the operating lease liability and operating lease asset, was $16 million and variable lease expense was $8 million, resulting in total lease expense of $25 million. As of May 2, 2020, the weighted-average remaining operating lease term was 6.5 years and the weighted-average discount rate for operating leases was 4.5%. Cash paid for lease amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $8 million, reflecting that certain amounts related to April and May were not paid during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020.

As of May 2, 2020, the required lease liability payments for the fiscal years specified below were as follows (in thousands):

Substantially all amounts recognized in receivables, net represent receivables related to contracts with customers. In the ordinary course of our wholesale operations, we offer discounts, allowances and cooperative advertising support to some of our wholesale customers for certain products. We record these discounts, returns and allowances as a reduction to net sales in our consolidated statements of operations and as a reduction to receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets. As of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019 and August 4, 2018, reserve balances recorded as a reduction to receivables related to these items were $7 million, $7 million and $7 million, respectively.

In addition to trade and other receivables, income tax receivables of $1 million, $1 million and $6 million and tenant allowances due from landlord of $2 million, $0 million and $2 million are included in receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019 and August 4, 2018, respectively. As of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019 and August 4, 2018, prepaid expenses and other current assets included $2 million, $2 million and $2 million, respectively, representing the estimated value of inventory for wholesale and direct to consumer sales returns. We did not have any significant contract assets related to contracts with customers, other than receivables and the value of inventory associated with reserves for expected sales returns, as of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019 and August 4, 2018.

An estimated sales return liability of $5 million, $3 million and $4 million for expected direct to consumer returns is classified in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019 and August 4, 2018, respectively. Contract liabilities for gift cards purchased by consumers and merchandise credits received by customers but not yet redeemed, less any breakage income recognized to date, is included in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and totaled $11 million, $12 million and $10 million as of August 3, 2019, February 2, 2019, and August 4, 2018, respectively.

5.    Leases: We enter into real estate lease agreements for retail, food and beverage, office and warehouse/distribution space, as well as leases for certain equipment. Our leases have varying terms and expirations and may have provisions to extend, renew or terminate the lease agreement at our discretion, among other terms and conditions. Our retail and restaurant leases typically provide for contingent rent based on sales if certain sales thresholds are achieved. Most of our leases provide for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses applicable to the property, and certain of our leases require payment of sales taxes on rental payments. Payments for real estate taxes, sales taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are not included in lease expense. Our lease agreements do not include any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive financial covenants.

Substantially all of our leases are classified as long-term operating leases, which have not historically been recognized as assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. When a non-cancelable long-term operating

lease includes fixed escalation clauses or lease incentivesDuring February and March 2020, we repurchased 0.3 million shares of our common stock under an open market stock repurchase program (Rule 10b5-1 plan) pursuant to an existing share repurchase authorization of our Board of Directors. In April 2020, we repurchased 0.1 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our stock incentive plans. Our stock incentive plans are described in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for rent holidays, rent expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis overFiscal 2019.

8.    Income Taxes: Our effective income tax rate for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the spaceFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2019 was a benefit of 22.5% and assumes that any termination options included in the lease will not be exercised. Contingent rents, including those based on a percentagean expense of retail sales over stated levels, and rental payment increases based on a contingent future event have been recognized as the expense is incurred.25.5%, respectively. The difference between the rents payable underU.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and our effective income tax rate for the leaseFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the amount recognized on a straight-line basis has historically been recorded in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, with the exceptionFirst Quarter of the amounts recognized in current lease liabilities. Also, any tenant improvement allowance amounts received from the landlord have historically been deferred as a liability in our consolidated balance sheets and then recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease agreement on a straight-line basis. Deferred rent in our consolidated balance sheets, including tenant improvement allowances and all amounts in non-current and current liabilities, as of February 2,Fiscal 2019 was $61 million.

Pursuant toimpacted by a variety of factors, including those discussed in the revised lease accounting guidance adopted in Fiscal 2019, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The significant judgments in calculating the present value of lease obligations include determining the lease term and lease payment amounts, which are dependent upon our assessment of the likelihood of exercising any renewal or termination options that are at our discretion,following paragraph, as well as the discountimpact of state income taxes, impact of foreign operations rate applied todifferential, valuation allowances and other carry-forwards, the unpaid lease payments. Operating leases are includeddeductibility of certain charges and changes in operating lease assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilitiesenacted tax regulations.

The income tax benefit in our consolidated balance sheet. The operating lease asset at commencementthe First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 reflects the income tax benefit on the operating lease liability reducedlosses at the statutory rate of 21% decreased by certain unfavorable items including (1) certain non-deductible impairment charges, resulting in an estimated effective income tax benefit rate of approximately 17% on the impairment charges, and (2) restricted stock which vested in the period with a vesting date price lower than the grant date price. These unfavorable items in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 were partially offset by the favorable impact of the CARES Act providing for any lease incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is consistent with the previous guidance. Variable rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and variable incremental rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation are both recognized as incurred.

We accountadditional income tax benefit for the underlyingcarry back of the substantial majority of our Fiscal 2020 net operating lease asset at the individual lease level. Typically, we do not include any renewal or termination options at our discretionlosses to years prior to U.S. Tax Reform, which had a federal income tax rate of 35%. The income tax expense in the underlying lease term as the probability of exercise is not reasonably certain. The revised lease guidance requires us to discount unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our incremental borrowing rate. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date, or as of February 3, 2019 for any leases in place at adoption of the revised guidance. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Finance leases are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Substantially all lease expense is included in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations. For the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2019 operating lease expense was $16 million and variable lease expensenot impacted by any significant or unusual discrete or other items.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was $8 million, resultingsigned into law, with applicable provisions reflected in total lease expense of $24 million. Forour financial statements for the First Half of Fiscal 2019, operating lease expense was $33 million and variable lease expense was $17 million, resulting in total lease expense of $49 million. As of August 3, 2019, the weighted-average remaining operating lease term was seven years and the weighted-average discount rate for operating leases was 5%. Cash paid for lease amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2019 and2020. This law includes several taxpayer favorable provisions which may impact us including allowing the First Halfcarryback of Fiscal 2019 was $17 million and $35 million, respectively.

Total rent expense in Fiscal 2018 was $96 million, which includes minimum rents, sales taxes, real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and contingent rents incurred under all leases. Payments for real estate taxes, sales taxes, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent percentage rent are included in rent expense, but are generally not included in the aggregate minimum rental commitments, as, in many cases, the amounts payable in future periods are not quantified in the lease agreement or may be dependent on future events. The total amount of such charges included in total rent expense above were $28 million in Fiscal 2018. As of February 2, 2019, the aggregate minimum base rental commitments for all non-cancelable operating leases with original terms in excess of one year were $68 million, $66 million, $62 million, $59 million, and $51 million for each of the next five years and $124 million thereafter.

6.    Debt: In July 2019, we amended our $325 million Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”) by entering into the First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to (1) extend the maturity of the facility to July 2024, and (2) modify certain provisions including a reduction of interest rates on certain borrowings and a reduction in unused line fees. We had 0 amounts outstanding as of August 3, 2019 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, compared to $25 million of borrowings outstanding as of August 4, 2018. The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (2) accrues variable-rate interest, unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average unused availability or utilization, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity, and (4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity intereststax reform, accelerated depreciation of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cashleasehold improvement costs and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceedsrelaxed interest expense limitations, as well as non-income tax benefits including deferral of employer FICA payments and other personal property.an employee retention credit.

To the extent cash flow needs exceed cash flow provided by our operations we will have access, subject to its terms, to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any. Our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is also used to establish collateral for certain insurance programs and leases and to finance trade letters of credit for product purchases, which reduce the amounts available under our line of credit when issued. As of August 3, 2019, $5 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. After considering these limitations and the amount of eligible assets in our borrowing base, as of August 3, 2019, we had $311 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations on borrowings.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.2019.

OVERVIEW

Business Overview

We are a global apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide lifestyle brands and other owned and licensed brands as well as private label apparel products.products of Lanier Apparel. During Fiscal 2018,2019, 93% of our net sales were from products bearing brands that we own and 69%97% of our net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution. In Fiscal 2018, 96% of our consolidated net sales were to customers located in the United States, with the sales outside the United States consisting primarily of our Tommy Bahama product sales in Canada and the Asia-Pacific region.States.

Our business strategy is to develop and market compelling lifestyle brands and products that evoke a strong emotional response from our target consumers. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands that create an emotional connection, like Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide, can command greater

loyalty and higher price points at retail and create licensing opportunities, which may drive higher earnings.opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want them.

We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are reputation, value, and image of brand names; design; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing; product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. Our ability to compete successfully in styling and marketing is directly related to our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and presenting appealing products for consumers. Our design-led, commercially informed lifestyle brand operations strive to provide exciting, differentiated products each season.

To further strengthen each lifestyle brand’s connections with consumers, we directly communicate with consumers through digital and print media on a regular basis. We believe our ability to effectively communicate the images, lifestyle and productsDuring Fiscal 2019, 70% of our brands and create an emotional connection with consumers is critical to the success of our brands. Advertising for our brands often attempts to convey the lifestyle of the brand as well as a specific product.

We distribute our owned lifestyle branded products primarilynet sales were through our direct to consumer channels consisting of distribution, which consists of our brand-specific full-price retail stores, our e-commerce websites, our Tommy Bahama food and Lilly Pulitzer retail storesbeverage operations and our e-commerce sites for Tommy Bahama Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide, and throughoutlets. The remaining 30% of our net sales are generated from our wholesale distribution channels. Our direct to consumer operations provide us with the opportunity to interact directly with our customers, present to them a broad assortment of our current season products and immerse them in the theme of the lifestyle brand. We believe that presenting our products in a setting specifically designed to showcase the lifestyle on which the brands are based enhances the image of our brands. Our Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer full-price retail stores provide high visibility for our brands and products and allow us to stay close to the preferences of our consumers, while also providing a platform for long-term growth for the brands. In Tommy Bahama, we also operate restaurants and Marlin Bars, generally adjacent to a Tommy Bahama full-price retail store location, which we believe further enhance the brand’s image with consumers. Our e-commerce websites provide the opportunity to increase revenues by reaching a larger population of consumers and at the same time allow our brands to provide a broader range of products.

The wholesale operations include sales of products bearing our lifestyle brands, which complement our direct to consumer operations and provide access to a larger group of consumers. As we seek to maintainconsumers, and also represent substantially all of the integritynet sales of our lifestyle brands by limiting promotional activity in our full-price retail stores and e-commerce websites, we generally target wholesale customers that follow this same approach in their stores. Our wholesale customers for our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide brands generally include various specialty stores, Signature Stores for Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide, better

department stores and multi-branded e-commerce retailers. Within ourthe Lanier Apparel operating group, we sell tailored clothing and sportswear products under licensed, private label and owned brands. Lanier Apparel’s customers include department stores, discount and off-price retailers, warehouse clubs, national chains, specialty stores and multi-branded e-commerce retailers.group.

The disposal of discontinued, end of season or excess inventory is an ongoing part of any apparel business, and our operating groups have historically utilized a variety of methods to sell such inventory, including outlet stores in Tommy Bahama, e-commerce flash sales in Lilly Pulitzer, and off-price retailers in each operating group. Our focus in disposing of the excess inventory for our lifestyle brands is to do so in a brand appropriate setting and achieve an acceptable margin.Industry Overview

AllEach of our operating groups operateoperates in highly competitive apparel markets in which numerous U.S. and foreign-based apparel firms compete.that continue to evolve rapidly with the expanding application of technology to fashion retail. No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our direct competitors vary by operating group and distribution channel. We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are reputation, value, and image of brand names; design; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing; product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service.

The apparel industry is cyclical and very dependent upon the overall level and focus of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as consumer preferences and regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Increasingly, consumers are choosing to spend less of their discretionary spending on certain product categories, including apparel, while spending more on services and other product categories. Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries. We believe the changes in consumer preferences for discretionary spending, the current global economic conditions

The competitive and economic uncertainty continue to impact the business of each of our operating groups and the apparel industry as a whole.

Due to the imposition by the United States of higher tariffs on apparel and related products manufactured in China, our net sales, cost of goods sold, operating income and net earnings are expected to be impacted in the second half of Fiscal 2019 as well as in Fiscal 2020, to the extent that we are unable to offset the additional costs by moving product sourcing from China, successfully negotiating price reductions from third party manufacturers or increasing sales prices on select products. During Fiscal 2018, approximately 54% of our apparel and related products were from producers located in China. During Fiscal 2019, we have made progress in shifting production from China, particularly for goods to be received late in the fiscal year, resulting in our expectation that the proportion of products sourced from China in Fiscal 2019 will be slightly lower than in Fiscal 2018. We anticipate more meaningful reductions in the proportion of our apparel and related products sourced from China in Fiscal 2020.

We believe the retail apparel market is evolving very rapidly and in ways that are having a disruptive impact on traditional fashion retailing. The application of technology, including the internet and mobile devices, to fashion retail provides consumers increasing access to multiple, responsive distribution platforms and an unprecedented ability to communicate directly with brands and retailers. As a result, consumers have more information and greater control over information they receive as well as broader, faster and cheaper access to goods than ever before. This, along with the coming of age of the “millennial” generation, is revolutionizing the way that consumers shop for fashion and other goods, which continues to be evidenced by weakness and store closures for certain department stores and mall-based retailers, decreased consumer retail traffic, a more promotional retail environment expansion of off-price and discount retailers, and a shift from bricks and mortar to internet purchasing. These changes may require that brands and retailers approach their operations, including marketing and advertising, very differently than historical practices and may result in increased operating costs and capital investments to generate growth or even maintain their current sales levels.

While thisthe competition and evolution in the fashion retail industry presents significant risks, especially for traditional retailers who fail or are unable to adapt, we believe it also presents a tremendous opportunity for brands and retailers to capitalize on the changing consumer environment. 

We believe our brands have true competitive advantages in this new retailing paradigm, and we are leveraging technology to serve our consumers when and where they want to be served. We continue to believe that our lifestyle brands, with their strong emotional connections with consumers, are well suited to succeed and thrive in the long term while managing the various challenges facing our industry.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant effect on overall economic conditions and our operations resulting in a 43% net sales reduction and a net loss in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020. While our mission remains the enhancement of long-term shareholder value, our focus during this crisis has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of our employees, customers and communities as well as protecting our brands and preserving liquidity.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw reduced consumer traffic starting in early March 2020 and temporarily closed all our retail and restaurant locations in North America on March 17, 2020. Subsequent to those closures, we also temporarily closed all our retail locations in Australia.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the foreseeable future, including as a result of temporary closure of our retail and restaurant locations, which continued into the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020; decreased customer traffic in

Specifically,stores and restaurants even as we believereopen locations in accordance with federal, state and local guidelines, including due to limited operating hours and capacity and seating limitations; uncertainty as to continued strength of our lifestyle brands have opportunities for long-term growthbrands’ e-commerce websites during the pendency of the pandemic; overall changes in our direct to consumer businesses. We anticipate increased sales in our e-commerce operations, which are expected to grow at a faster rate than comparable sales through our bricksconfidence and mortar store locations. We also believe growth can be achieved through prudent expansion of bricks and mortar full-price retail store and restaurant operations and modest comparable full-price retail store and restaurant sales increases. We expect there will continue to be desirable locations to add new retail storesconsumer spending habits; any potential disruptions to our portfolio, but atsupply chain; and a measured and selective pace, and believe that an effective bricks and mortar retail strategy is an important component to the e-commerce operations for long-term success in today’s retail apparel environment.

We believe our lifestyle brands have an opportunity for modest sales increases in their wholesale businessesslowdown in the long term. However, we must be diligent in our effort to avoid compromising the integrity of our brands by maintaining or growing sales with wholesale customers that may not be aligned with our long-term strategy. This is particularly important with the challenges in the department store channel, which represented approximately 12% of our consolidated net sales in Fiscal 2018, compared to approximately 14% in Fiscal 2017. The management of wholesale distribution for our lifestyle brands resulted in a decrease in wholesale sales in Fiscal 2018. While we anticipate modest growth in our wholesale sales in Fiscal 2019, there could be additional reductions in wholesale sales in future years, as the amount of sales to certain wholesale accounts could decrease if the number of doors that carry our product decreases, the volume sold for a particular door is reduced or the account is exited altogether. We anticipate that sales increases in our wholesale businesses in the long term will stem primarily from current customers adding within their existing door countU.S. and increasing their online business; increased sales to online retailers; and our selective addition of new wholesale customers who generally present and merchandise our products in a way that is consistent with our full-price, direct to consumer distribution strategy. We also believe that there are opportunities for modest sales growth for Lanier Apparel in the future through new product programs and licenses.global economies.

We believe we must continuehave adequate liquidity and the financial discipline to invest in our lifestyle brands to take advantage of their long-term growth opportunities. Investments include capital expenditures primarilyaddress the near-term challenges related to the directCOVID-19 pandemic. With significant uncertainty as to consumer operations, such as technology enhancements, e-commerce initiativesthe duration and retail store and restaurant build-out for new, relocated or remodeled locations, as well as distribution center and administrative office expansion initiatives. Additionally, we anticipate increased employment and other administrative function costs to support ongoing business operations and fuel future sales growth.

In the midstseverity of the changes inpandemic and associated restrictions on our industry, an important initiative for us in recent years was to increase the profitability of the Tommy Bahama business. These initiatives generally focused on increasing gross margin and operating margin through efforts such as: product cost reductions; selective price increases; reducing inventory purchases; redefining our approach to inventory clearance; effectively managing controllable and discretionary operating expenses; taking a more conservative approach to retail store openings and lease renewals; and continuing our efforts to reduce Asia-Pacific operating losses. Whileoperations, we have made progresstaken a number of actions to mitigate the impact of this pandemic on these initiatives in recent years, we expectour business and operations including:

we furloughed and laid off a significant number of our retail, restaurant and office employees;
certain of our salaried employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executives, took reductions in their base salary;
we drew down $200 million from our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility;
our Board of Directors reduced the rate of our dividend payable in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020;
in June 2020, our Board of Directors elected to reduce by 50% its cash retainers for the remainder of Fiscal 2020;
believing that the payment of rents in respect of our retail store and restaurant leases was inappropriate due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended rent payments and have been actively negotiating with our landlords on equitable arrangements in respect of the closure and subsequent periods for those operations;
we have worked with suppliers to cancel, delay or suspend future product deliveries;
we have worked with our wholesale customers to identify suitable changes to our business arrangements;
under the CARES Act, we are deferring the employer portion of FICA payments and obtaining employee retention credits for qualifying wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
in many cases, we suspended, cancelled or deferred capital expenditures, reducing our capital expenditure expectations for Fiscal 2020.

We have established management committees, reporting to make further progressthe Chief Executive Officer on improving the profitability of the Tommy Bahama business in Fiscal 2019 and future years.

We continue to believe it is important to maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity. We believe positive cash flow from operations, coupled with the strength of our balance sheet and liquidity, will provide us with sufficient resources to fund future investments in our owned lifestyle brands. While we believe we have significant opportunities to appropriately deploy our capital and resources in our existing lifestyle brands, our strong cash flows from operations and ample borrowing capacity provide us the abilityan ongoing basis, to continue to evaluate opportunitiesmonitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact and are taking the necessary precautionary measures to add additional lifestyle brands toprotect the health and safety of our portfolio inemployees. Given the future if we identify appropriate targets that meet our investment criteria. While we are actively exploring acquisition opportunities, investment opportunities for the typesdynamic nature of large brands with the attributes that we desire are not always available at an acceptable price. Therefore, our interest in acquiring smaller brands and earlier stage companies has increased in recent years, particularly in businesses where we may have the opportunity to more fully integrate the brand into our existing infrastructure and shared services functions. Currently, the market for desirable lifestyle brands, both large and small, is very competitivethese circumstances, and the expectationsuncertain duration and severity of sellers are high relative to the historicalbusiness disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on discretionary consumer spending, the financial impact of the pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but will significantly impact our operating results, cash flows and opportunities of the brand.financial position in Fiscal 2020.

The higherlower net earnings per diluted share in the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 20192020 was primarily due to higher(1) the $60 million of impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets in Southern Tide, (2) the lower operating incomeresults in each operating group primarily due to lower sales resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and (3) a lower interest expense.effective tax rate in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, which resulted in a lower income tax benefit than may have otherwise been recognized. These items were partially offset by lowerthe improved operating results in Corporate and Other, and a higher effective tax rate.

COMPARABLE SALES

We often disclose comparable sales in order to provide additional information regarding changes in our results of operations between periods. Our disclosures of comparable sales include net sales from full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites, excluding sales associated with e-commerce flash clearance sales. We believe that the inclusion of both full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites in the comparable sales disclosures is a more meaningful way of reporting our comparable sales results, given similar inventory planning, allocation and return policies, as well as our cross-channel marketing and other initiatives for the direct to consumer channel. For our comparable sales disclosures, we exclude (1) outlet store sales, warehouse sales and e-commerce flash clearance sales, as those clearance sales are usedwhich was primarily to liquidate end of season inventory, which may vary significantly depending on the level of end of season inventory on hand and generally occur at lower gross margins than our non-clearance direct to consumer sales, and (2) restaurant sales, as we do not currently believe that the inclusion of restaurant sales in our comparable sales disclosures is meaningful in assessing our consolidated results of operations. Comparable sales information reflects net sales, including shipping and handling revenues, if any, associated with product sales.

For purposes of our disclosures, comparable sales consists of sales through e-commerce sites and any physical full-price retail store that was owned and open as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year and which did not have during the relevant periods, and is not within the current fiscal year scheduled to have, (1) a remodel or other event which would result in a closure for an extended period of time (which we define as a period of two weeks or longer), (2) a greater than 15% change in the size of the retail space due to expansion, reduction or relocation to a new retail space or (3) a relocation to a new space that is significantly different from the prior retail space. For those stores which are excluded based on the preceding sentence, the stores continue to be excluded from comparable sales until the criteria for a new store is met subsequent to the remodel, relocation, or other event. A retail store that is remodeled will generally continue to be included in our comparable sales metrics as a store is not typically closed for longer than a two-week period during a remodel; however, a retail store that is relocated generally will not be included in our comparable sales metrics until that store has been open in the relocated space for the entiretyfavorable impact of the prior fiscal year because the size or other characteristics of the store typically change significantly from the prior location. Any stores that were closed during the prior fiscal year or current fiscal year, or which we expect to close or vacate in the current fiscal year, are excluded from our comparable sales.LIFO accounting.

Definitions and calculations of comparable sales differ among retail companies, and therefore comparable sales metrics disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.

STORE COUNT

The table below provides store count information for Tommy Bahama, and Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide as of the dates specified. The table includes our permanent stores and excludes any pop-up or temporary store locations which have an initial lease term of less than 12 months. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as of May 2, 2020 none of these stores were open or operating for business. We began reopening stores and restaurants starting on May 3, 2020 in a phased approach in accordance with local government guidelines and additional safety protocols implemented. As of June 10, 2020, we had reopened approximately 55% of our retail stores and restaurants and barring any material public reopening setbacks, we expect that we will reopen substantially all of our stores and restaurants by the end of June 2020.

The increasedecrease in consolidated gross profit in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 20192020 was primarily due to an improved gross margin, which offset the impact of lower net sales. The improvedcomparable consolidated gross margin reflects increased gross margin in Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Lanier Apparel as well as a change inthe negative impact of $4 million of inventory markdowns on the lower sales mix as wholesale sales, including Lanier Apparel sales which typically have lower gross margins, represented a lower proportion of our net sales. These favorable changes were partially offset by the net unfavorable impacta $3 million LIFO accounting credit in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 20192020, with no significant impact of inventory markdowns or LIFO accounting and the Tommy Bahama Japan inventory markdown charges incurred in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2018.2020. Changes in gross margin by operating group are discussed below.

Tommy Bahama:

Lilly Pulitzer:

The increase in gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to (1) higher gross margin in the direct to consumer business resulting from higher initial gross margins and less gift with purchase amounts and (2) a change in sales mix as a greater proportion of Lilly Pulitzer sales were direct to consumer sales represented a larger proportion of net sales and the favorable impact of higher gift card breakage income. These favorable items were partially offset by higher costs associated with gift with purchase and other promotion events.sales.

Lanier Apparel:

The increasedecrease in gross margin for Lanier Apparel was primarily due to inventory markdowns having a change inmore significant impact on the significantly lower sales mix as a greater proportion of salesvolume in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2019 were related to higher gross margin programs, while the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018 included more sales related to a warehouse club program.2020.

The LIFO accounting impact in Corporate and Other in each period primarily reflects (1) a charge in Corporate and Other when inventory that had been marked down to the estimated net realizable value in an operating group in a prior period is ultimately sold or (2) a credit in Corporate and Other when inventory has been marked down to the estimated net realizable value in an operating group in the current period, but the inventory has not been sold as of period end.

Income taxes were a tax benefit in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 resulting from an operating loss and the impact of certain discrete and other items as noted below, as compared to lower average debt outstanding duringa tax expense in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2019 resulting from operating income. The income tax benefit in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 reflects the income tax benefit on the operating losses at 21% decreased by certain unfavorable items including (1) the non-deductibility of certain impairment charges, resulting in an estimated effective income tax benefit rate of approximately 17% on the impairment charges, and (2) restricted stock which vested in the period with a vesting date price lower than the grant date price. These unfavorable items in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 were partially offset by higher interest rates and higher unused line fees.

The higherlower net earnings per diluted share in the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 20192020 was primarily due to higher operating income(1) the $60 million of impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets in Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide, and(2) the lower interest expense. These improved operating results in each operating group and (3) a lower effective tax rate in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020. These items were partially offset by lower operating income in Lanier Apparel, a larger operating loss in Corporate and Other and the impact of a higher effective tax rate.

Consolidated net sales increased $9 million, or 2%, in the First Half of Fiscal 2019. The increase in consolidated net sales was primarily driven by (1) a $7 million, or 3%, comparable sales increase to $296 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2019 from $289 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2018, with comparable sales increases in both Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer, (2) an incremental net sales increase of $4 million associated with non-comp retail store operations, resulting from an increase at Lilly Pulitzer, and (3) a $2 million increase in wholesale sales reflecting increases in Lilly Pulitzer, Lanier Apparel and Southern Tide. These increases in net sales were partially offset by (1) a $3 million decrease in restaurant sales in Tommy Bahama and (2) a $2 million decrease in outlet store sales in Tommy Bahama. The changes in net sales by operating group are discussed below. The following table presents the proportion of our consolidated net sales by distribution channel for each period presented:

These increases were partially offset by decreased sales in other programs, including lower volume for programs resulting from the exit of certain programs and customers, including programs with customers who filed for bankruptcy in Fiscal 2018 and certain programs that had initial shipments in the First Half of Fiscal 2018. While the Cole Haan and Duck Head businesses both had significant sales growth rates in the First Half of Fiscal 2019, those business still represent a small proportion of Lanier Apparel’s net sales. We expect the net sales at Lanier Apparel for the remainder of Fiscal 2019 to grow at a more modest rate than the sales growth rate achieved for the First Half of Fiscal 2019.

Southern Tide:

The Southern Tide net sales increase of $1 million, or 5%, in the First Half of Fiscal 2019 was due to increased sales in both the wholesale and e-commerce channels of distribution, with e-commerce growing at a faster pace than wholesale sales. The increased wholesale sales reflect increased sales to department stores and Signature Stores, including those that opened in Fiscal 2018. The following table presents the proportion of net sales by distribution channel for Southern Tide for each period presented:

The increase in consolidated gross profit in the First Half of Fiscal 2019 was primarily due to increased sales partially offset by lower gross margin. The lower consolidated gross margin was primarily due to lower gross margins in Lilly Pulitzer and a change in sales mix as Lanier Apparel sales, which typically have lower gross margins than our other businesses, represented a higher proportion of our net sales.

Tommy Bahama:

The increase in gross margin for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to (1) a change in sales mix with retail store and e-commerce sales representing a greater proportion of net sales and wholesale and outlet store sales representing a lower proportion of net sales and (2) the First Half of Fiscal 2018 including certain Tommy Bahama Japan inventory markdown charges with no such charges in the First Half of Fiscal 2019.

Lilly Pulitzer:

The decrease in gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer reflects (1) a greater proportion of wholesale sales, including increased off-price sales, which had lower gross margins in the First Half of Fiscal 2019, and (2) higher costs associated with gift with purchase and other promotion events. These unfavorable items were partially offset by the impact of higher gift card breakage income.

Table of Contents

Lanier Apparel:

The increase in gross margin for Lanier Apparel was primarily due to a change in sales mix as a greater proportion of sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2019 were related to higher gross margin programs, due in part to the First Half of Fiscal 2018 including more sales related to a warehouse club program.

Southern Tide:

The decrease in gross margin for Southern Tide was primarily due to the prior year including an insurance recovery on certain inventory partially offset by a change in sales mix as e-commerce sales represented a greater proportion of net sales.

Corporate and Other:

The gross profit in Corporate and Other primarily reflects (1) the gross profit of TBBC, (2) the gross profit of our Lyons, Georgia distribution center and (3) thefavorable impact of LIFO accounting adjustments. The increased gross profit primarily reflects the impact of higher sales in TBBC partially offset by the unfavorable impact of LIFO accounting in the First Half of Fiscal 2019 compared to the First Half of Fiscal 2018. The LIFO accounting impact in Corporate and Other in each period primarily reflects (1) a charge in Corporate and Other when inventory that had been marked down to the estimated net realizable value in an operating group in a prior period is ultimately sold or (2) a credit in Corporate and Other when inventory has been marked down to the estimated net realizable value in an operating group in the current period, but the inventory has not been sold as of period end.accounting.

These decreases were partially offset by (1) increases in SG&A to support the businesses, including increased salaries and wages, occupancy and other operating expenses in our ongoing direct to consumer and wholesale operations and (2) $1 million of incremental SG&A associated with the cost of operating additional retail stores and restaurants.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is through our design, sourcing, marketing and distribution of branded apparel products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide lifestyle brands, other owned and licensed brands, and private label apparel products. We distribute our products to our customers via direct to consumer and wholesale channels of distribution. Our primary uses of cash flow include the purchase of products in the operation of our business from third party contract manufacturers outside of the United States, as well as operating expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, occupancy-related costs, marketing and advertising

costs, distribution costs, other general and administrative expenses and the payment of periodic interest and other payments related to our financing arrangements.

Additionally, we use cash for the funding of capital expenditures, dividends and repayment of indebtedness. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain certain levels of inventory, extend credit to our wholesale customers and pay our operating expenses. Thus, we require a certain amount of working capital to operate our business. If cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we have access to amounts under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to its terms, which is described below. We may seek to finance our future cash requirements through various methods, including cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities, sales of debt or equity securities, and cash on hand.

As of August 3, 2019,May 2, 2020, we had $31$182 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, nohand. Additionally, we had $208 million of borrowings outstanding and $311$114 million of availability under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Generally, we anticipate that excessWe believe our cash if any, will be used to repay any debt outstanding onand cash equivalents and our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.

Our working capital ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. Current assets as of May 2, 2020, increased from AugustMay 4, 2018 to August 3, 2019 primarily due to increased cash balances as well as higher inventories, and increased cashwhich were partially offset by lower receivables and lower prepaid expenses.receivables. Current liabilities increased primarilyas of May 2, 2020 decreased from May 4, 2019 due to the impact of the revised lease accounting guidance which required the recognition of $54 million oflower accounts payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses and liabilities accounts partially offset by increased current operating lease liabilities at August 3, 2019, as discussed in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Changes in current assets and current liabilities are discussed below.liabilities.

For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term debt, and total capital is defined as debt plus shareholders’ equity. Debt was $0$208 million at August 3, 2019May 2, 2020 and $25$33 million at AugustMay 4, 2018,2019, while shareholders’ equity was $519$439 million at August 3, 2019May 2, 2020 and $467$493 million at AugustMay 4, 2018.2019. The decreaseincrease in debt since AugustMay 4, 20182019 was primarily due to $106 millionborrowing to maintain certain amounts of cash flow from operations which was partially offset by cash payments of $31 million for capital expenditures and $24 million for dividends,on our balance sheet during the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in $31$182 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of August 3, 2019.May 2, 2020.

and ratio of debt to total capital in future periods may not be comparable to historical amounts as we continue to assess, and possibly make changes to, our capital structure. Changes in our capital structure in the future, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Cash amounts maintained on an ongoing basis in our operations generally range from $5 million to $10 million at any given time if we have debt outstanding.outstanding; however, due to the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed a significant amount of cash during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 as a precautionary measure. Any excess cash that is generallynot used to repay any amounts outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and if cash flow from operations exceeds amounts required to pay any outstanding debt amounts, capital expenditures and dividends, cash outstanding may exceed the typical cash amounts.

Inventories, net, which is net of a $62 million LIFO reserve in both periods, increased as of August 3, 2019 due to increases in inventories in each operating group to support planned sales growth and to increase baseMay 2, 2020 as inventory levels in certain programs and product categories. The higher inventory levels reflect (1) increased inventory levels in Tommy Bahama including increases in certain core product categoriesand Lilly Pulitzer, primarily due to the lower net sales in the direct to consumer operations, and (2) increased inventoryFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2020, partially offset by a decrease in Lanier Apparel due to less inventory than optimala reduction in the prior yearnumber of weeks of inventory on hand for certainLanier Apparel replenishment and other programs. We believe that inventory levels in each operating group are appropriate to support anticipated sales.

The decreaseincrease in long-term debt since AugustMay 4, 20182019 was primarily due to $106us borrowing certain amounts of cash to maintain on our balance sheet during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, debt reflects the net impact of $82 million of cash flow from operations which was partially offset by cash payments of $31$38 million for capital expenditures, and $24$23 million for dividends.dividends and $20 million for share repurchases, resulting in $182 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of May 2, 2020.

In both the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019, changes in operating assets and the First Half of Fiscal 2018, working capital account changesliabilities had an unfavorable impact on cash flow from operations. In the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2020, the more significant changes in operating assets and liabilities were a decrease in current liabilities, an increase in inventories and a net unfavorable change in other non-current liabilities and non-current assets, which decreased cash flow from operations, partially offset by a decrease in receivables and prepaid expenses and other current assets, which increased cash flow from operations. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019, the more significant changes in working capital,operating assets and liabilities, after considering the non-cash impact of certain reclassifications that resulted from the adoption of the revised lease accounting guidance, were a decrease in current liabilities, which reduced cash flow from operations, partially offset by decreases in inventories, receivables and prepaid expenses, which increased cash flow from operations.

Investing Activities:

Ourcash, respectively. On an ongoing basis, our cash flow used in investing activities on an ongoing basis primarily consists of our capital expenditure investments in our existing brands and acquisitions of new businesses. Our capital expenditures primarily consist of costs associated with information technology initiatives, including e-commerce capabilities; opening, relocating and remodeling retail stores and restaurants; and facilities enhancements for distribution centers and offices.

Financing Activities:

In the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019, and the First Half of Fiscal 2018, financing activities used $29 million and $34 million, respectively, of cash. During the First Half of Fiscal 2019 and the First Half of Fiscal 2018, we decreased debt and increased cash as our cash flow from operations was greater than our capital expenditures and payment of dividends. During the First Half of Fiscal 2019 and the First Half of Fiscal 2018 we paid $13provided $184 million and $12 million of dividends,cash, respectively. Also,During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, we increased debt in order to maintain certain cash amounts on our balance sheet during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to fund our cash flows used in operations, share repurchases, capital expenditures and dividends, while in the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2019, we increased debt to fund our cash flows used in operations, capital expenditures and dividends.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, we repurchased $18 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to an open market stock repurchase program, which was suspended March 17, 2020. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019 we paid $1$4 million forand $6 million in dividends, respectively. Both the paymentFirst Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019 included certain amounts related to previous acquisitions including the paymentissuance of certain holdbackequity pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and contingent consideration amounts.the repurchase of equity awards for employee tax withholding liabilities due to the vesting of equity awards during the period.

If we are in a debt position, weWe may borrow or pay down debt depending on whether our cash flow from operating activities exceeds our capital expenditures, dividend payments, acquisitions and any other investing or financing activities. Generally, we anticipate that excess cash, if any, will be used to repay any debt on our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. However, due to the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to concurrently hold a significant amount of cash on hand as well as a significant amount of debt under on our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement in Fiscal 2020. If we have cash and cash equivalents in excess of cash used in our ongoing operations, we will generally invest the excess cash in short term money market investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In July 2019,As of May 2, 2020, we amended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement by entering into the First Amendment to the Fourth Amendedhad $182 million of cash and Restated Credit Agreement to (1) extend the maturitycash equivalents on hand. Additionally, we had $208 million of the facility to July 2024,borrowings outstanding and (2) modify certain provisions including a reduction$114 million of interest rates on certain borrowings and a reduction in unused line fees. We had no amounts outstanding as of August 3, 2019availability under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. We believe our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement comparedwill provide ample liquidity to $25 million of borrowings outstanding as of August 4, 2018. fund operating cash flow needs and other ongoing cash requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic in Fiscal 2020 until we return to generating positive cash flow from operations.

The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average borrowing rate of 1.7% as of May 2, 2020), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average unused availability or utilization, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity (July 2024) and (4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.

To the extent cash flow needs exceed cash flow provided by our operations we will have access, subject to its terms, to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any. Our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is also used to establish collateral for certain insurance programs and leases and to finance trade letters of credit for product purchases, which reduce the amounts available under our line of credit when issued. As of August 3, 2019, $5May 2, 2020, $3 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. After considering these limitations and the amount of eligible assets in our borrowing base, as of August 3, 2019,May 2, 2020, we had $311$114 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations on borrowings.

Covenants and Other Restrictions:

The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance requirements and conduct of business. Also, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (1) incur debt, (2) guaranty certain obligations, (3) incur liens, (4) pay dividends to shareholders, (5) repurchase shares of our common stock, (6) make investments, (7) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (8) acquire assets or businesses, (9) merge or consolidate with other companies or (10) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.

Additionally, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if excess availability under the agreement for three consecutive business days is less than the greater of (i) $23.5 million or (ii) 10% of availability. In such case, our fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement must not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding 12 fiscal months for which financial statements have been delivered. This financial covenant continues to apply until we have maintained excess availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement of more than the greater of (i) $23.5 million or (ii) 10% of availability for 30 consecutive days.

We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we entered intoamended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. During the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 20192020 and as of August 3, 2019,May 2, 2020, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of August 3, 2019,May 2, 2020, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.

Other Liquidity Items:

We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements, which generally consist of working capital and other operating activity needs, capital expenditures, interest payments on our debt and dividends, if any, primarily from positive cash flow from operations supplemented by borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.Agreement and positive cash flows from operations in the long term. Our need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest requirements generally in the fall and spring of each year. Our capital needs will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products. We anticipate that at the maturity of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement or as otherwise deemed appropriate, we will be able to refinance the facility or obtain other financing on terms available in the market at that time. The terms of any future financing arrangements may not be as favorable as the terms of the current agreement or current market terms.

On June 9, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.25 per share payable on July 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 17, 2020. Although we have paid dividends in each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960, we may discontinue or modify dividend payments at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including payment of outstanding debt, funding of acquisitions, funding of capital expenditures or repurchases of outstanding shares, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our credit facility, other debt instruments or applicable law limit our ability to pay dividends. We may borrow to fund dividends in the short term, based on our expectation of operating cash flows in future periods subject to the terms and conditions of our credit facility, other debt instruments and applicable law. All cash flow from

operations will not be paid out as dividends in all periods. For details about limitations on our ability to pay dividends, see the discussion of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement above.

Our contractual obligations as of August 3, 2019May 2, 2020 have not changed materially from the contractual obligations outstanding at February 2, 2019,1, 2020, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 20182019 filed with the SEC, other than changes in amounts outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement and operating lease liabilities, as discussed above.

Our anticipated capital expenditures for Fiscal 2019,2020, including the $16$9 million incurred in the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2019,2020, are expected to be approximately $30 million in a rangeFiscal 2020. Due to the uncertainty of $45 millionthe COVID-19 pandemic we are deferring and/or cancelling certain capital expenditures that were originally planned for Fiscal 2020. However, we are continuing other projects, including certain direct to $50 million. These expenditures are expected to consist primarily of costs associated with information technology initiatives, including e-commerce capabilities; new retail storesconsumer location openings and Marlin Bars; and investments to remodel existing retail stores and restaurants.remodels.

may increase or decrease will fluctuate from the amounts incurred in prior years depending on the information technology initiatives, direct to consumer location openings, relocations and remodels and other infrastructure requirements deemed appropriate for that year to support future expansion of our businesses.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into agreements which meet the SEC’s definition of an off balance sheet financing arrangement, other than operating leases, and have made no financial commitments to or guarantees with respect to any unconsolidated subsidiaries or special purpose entities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the selection and application of accounting policies. Further, the application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those discussed below.estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We believe that we have appropriately applied our critical accounting policies. However, in the event that inappropriate assumptions or methods were used relating to the critical accounting policies, our consolidated statements of operations could be misstated.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.2019. There have not been any significant changes to the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2019.2020. A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.2019.

SEASONAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS

Each of our operating groups is impacted by seasonality as the demand by specific product or style, as well as by distribution channel, may vary significantly depending on the time of year. For details of the impact of seasonality on each of our operating groups, see the business discussion for each operating group in Part I, Item 1, Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.

2019. As the timing of certain unusual or non-recurring items, economic conditions, wholesale product shipments, weather or other factors affecting our operations may vary from one year to the next, we do not believe that net sales or operating income for any particular quarter or the distribution of net sales and

Our third quarter has historically been our smallest net sales and operating income quarter and that result is expected to continue.years, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain interest rate, foreign currency, commodity and inflation risks as discussed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.2019. There have not been any significantmaterial changes in our exposure to these risks during the First HalfQuarter of Fiscal 2019.2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our company, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the SecondFirst Quarter of Fiscal 20192020 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 a party to litigation and regulatory actions arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions may relate to trademark and other intellectual property, licensing arrangements, real estate, employee relations matters, importing or exporting regulations, taxation employee relation matters or other topics. We are not currently a party to any litigation or regulatory action or aware of any proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, our assessment of any litigation or other legal claims could potentially change in light of the discovery of additional factors not presently known or determinations by judges, juries, or others which are not consistent with our evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to numerous risks. Investors should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing business environment, and additional risks and uncertainties that we currently consider immaterial or are not presently known to us may also adversely affect our business. The risksIn addition to the other information set forth in this report, investors should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2018Fiscal 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, as well as the following:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a material adverse effect, on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. Governments and public health officials of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions took preventative or protective actions to mitigate the spread and severity of the coronavirus, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed all our retail stores and restaurants in North America on March 17, 2020. Subsequent to those closures, we also temporarily closed all of our retail locations in Australia. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative and protective actions have significantly impacted our business and the business operations of other apparel retailers, including our wholesale customers, and have had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on our sales and results of operations for Fiscal 2020.

Our temporary retail store and restaurant closures starting in March 2020 were made in conjunction with orders, mandates, guidelines and recommendations from government and public health authorities limiting business activities, as well as in many cases in connection with closures of the centers in which our retail stores and restaurants are notlocated. As a result of these closures, as well as the only risks facingdepressed consumer traffic and economic climate which have continued even as we started reopening our company.locations, we determined that the payment of rents that might have otherwise been due under our retail store and restaurant leases was inappropriate. Accordingly, with limited exceptions where alternative arrangements with our landlords have been finalized, we discontinued rent payments starting in April 2020. We have been actively negotiating with our landlords on equitable arrangements in respect of the closure and subsequent periods and are confident that we will be able to resolve these matters with our landlords. However, there can be no assurances, and some of our landlords may choose to assert a claim that this non-payment constitutes a default under our leases. Successful claims against us, if any, could materially affect our business, operations, financial condition and future growth. Even where successful, litigation could be costly, distract our management and result in reputational harm.

We began reopening stores and restaurants starting on May 3, 2020 in a phased approach in accordance with local government guidelines and additional safety protocols implemented.  As we reopen our stores, restaurants and office locations, as well as within our distribution centers, we have implemented additional processes and procedures to facilitate social distancing, to enhance cleaning and sanitation activities, including for high-touch surfaces throughout the day, to provide personal protective equipment to our employees and for takeout food and beverage services, handling

merchandise returns and providing curbside service.  These actions will result in increased costs to operate these locations on an ongoing basis.

In addition, our business is particularly sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending, and we cannot predict the degree to, or the time period over, which our business will be affected by the coronavirus pandemic, even as our retail stores and restaurants are reopened to the public. There are numerous uncertainties associated with this pandemic, including the number of individuals who will become infected, whether a vaccine or cure that mitigates the effect of the virus will be synthesized, and, if so, when such vaccine or cure will be ready to be used, the extent of the protective and preventative measures that have been put in place by both governmental entities and other businesses and those that may be put in place in the future, whether the coronavirus’ impact will be seasonal, the duration of store and restaurant closures, including subsequent closures due to a positive coronavirus test for one of our employees or customers, the impact on the U.S. and world economy and numerous other uncertainties. Further, even after containment of the virus or after all of our stores and restaurants are able to fully resume operations, any significant reduction in consumer willingness to visit malls and shopping centers, consumer traffic, including as the result of limitations on the number of persons permitted in stores at one time, or the levels of consumer discretionary spending would result in a further loss of revenues of cash flows.

The coronavirus pandemic has also impacted, and may continue to impact, our office locations and distribution centers, which may negatively impact our ability to meet consumer demand and may increase our costs of production and distribution.

For the reasons set forth above and other reasons that may come to light if as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our business, revenues, financial condition or results of operations; however, the adverse impact of this event will be significant.

Any of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Our business may be adversely affected by instability, disruption, or destruction, including civil insurrection or social unrest.

Our business may be adversely affected by instability, disruption, or destruction, regardless of cause, including civil insurrection or social unrest.  These events may result in closures of our retail stores, restaurants, offices or distribution centers, declines in consumer traffic, and/or property damage and loss, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, consumer reaction to any statements we may make in response to the protests, outrage and dialogue rightly sparked by the underlying social issues could be perceived in a way that negatively impacts the reputation, value and image of one or more of our brands.
