CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “continues,” “feels,” “forecasts,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “aims,” “intends,” or “projects.” Statements may be forward looking even in the absence of these particular words.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial position, business strategy, and other plans and objectives for our future operations, and generation of free cash flow. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. The forward-looking statements contained herein are largely based on our expectations for the future, which reflect certain estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions, operating trends, and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. As such, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate.

We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, changes in circumstances, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf. Management cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure you that such statements will be realized or that the events and circumstances they describe will occur. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to, a change in the relationship with any of our key suppliers, including the unavailability ofaccess to premium products, at competitive prices, volume discounts, cooperative advertising, markdown allowances, or the ability to cancel orders and return merchandise; our ability to fund our planned capital investments; a recession, volatility in the financial markets, orand other global economic factors; our ability to access the credit markets at competitive terms; difficulties in appropriately allocating capital and resources among our strategic opportunities; our ability to realize the expected benefits from acquisitions; business opportunities and expansion; investments; expenses; dividends; share repurchases; cash management; liquidity; cash flow from operations; use of cash and cash requirements; borrowing capacity;capacity under our credit facility; repatriation of cash to the United States; supply chain issues, including delays in merchandise receiptsissues; labor shortages and increasing cost pressure caused by higher oceanic shipping and freight costs; labor shortages;wage pressures; expectations regarding increased wages; inflation; consumer spending levels; the effect of governmental assistance programs; social unrest; continuing risks relating to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccines and safety protocols; expectations regarding increasing global taxes; the effect of increased government regulation, compliance, and changes in law; the effect of the adverse outcome of any material litigation against us or judicial decisions that affect us or our industry generally; the effects of weather; climate change; ESG risks; increased competition; geopolitical events; the financial effect of accounting regulations and critical accounting policies; credit risk relating to the risk of loss as a result of non-performance by our counterparties; and any other factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak to our views only as of the date of this filing. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be insignificant may also affect our business operations and financial performance. The Company does not undertake to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document. See “Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report for a discussion of certain risks relating to our business and any investment in our securities. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable, and take advantage of, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements.

Please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission for a discussion of certain risks relating to our business and any investment in our securities. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this report, or any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ​

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensedBusiness

Foot Locker, Inc., together with its consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. As used in these Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “Footsubsidiaries (“Foot Locker,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer), is a leading footwear and apparel retailer. We have integrated all available shopping channels including stores, websites, apps, and social channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from the store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our distribution centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-customer orders are generally shipped to Foot Locker, Inc.our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and its consolidated subsidiaries.stores depending on availability of particular items. We operate in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, representing our operating segments. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and these Notesthe rules and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

The Additionally, the results of operations for the period ended July 30, 2022April 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to the continued uncertainty of general economic conditions that may affect us for the remainder of 2022.the year. Fiscal year 2023 will include the 53-week period that ends on February 3, 2024.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 20212022 Form 10-K.10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. In 2023, we separately present licensing revenue as a component of total revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as previously licensing revenue was presented within other income / (expense), net.

There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesof our 20212022 Form 10-K.10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

In 2021, we acquired WSS and atmos, two businesses that will allow us to further differentiate our product offerings, as well as our customer base, and diversify our retail store and omnichannel portfolio.

WSS

During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, we paid an additional $4 million upon the finalization of the value of net assets acquired, with a corresponding increase to goodwill as compared with the amounts presented in the most recent annual report. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition has increased to $811 million ($741 million, net of cash acquired). There were no additional payments or changes to the value of net assets acquired in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022.

atmos

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, we paid an additional $5 million and $8 million, respectively, in connection with the finalization of certain post-closing conditions. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition has increased to $368 million, subject to adjustment for the finalization of the value of net assets acquired and other post-closing matters. The preliminary purchase price includes contingent consideration initially measured at $35 million, which can reach up to $111 million based on achieving certain revenue growth and EBITDA performance targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration has not changed from the initial measurement. The preliminary purchase price does not yet reflect the finalization of the net working capital provisions and other post-closing adjustments. At closing, we placed $30 million in escrow, and an additional $6 million will be payable if certain post-closing conditions are satisfied. We expect to finalize the remaining amounts by the end of this fiscal year.

The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for atmos and includes fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities since our most recent annual report. Changes to amounts reported at year end and the previous quarter included an $8 million increase in goodwill due to the additional purchase price, revised downward valuation of the tradenames and the addition of the customer list intangible. The adjustments did not have a significant effect on the consolidated results of operations. We determined that the atmos tradenames will have an indefinite life and will not be amortized.

We are assessing the tax deductibility of the goodwill related to the acquisition.

We have integrated all available shopping channels including stores, websites, apps, and social channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from the store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our distribution centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-customer orders are generally shipped to our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and stores depending on availability.

8. Goodwill

See footnote 2, Acquisitions, for additional information on our recent acquisitions.

In conjunction with the sale of the Eastbay Team Sales business, we allocated $6 million of goodwill to the assets sold, representing the allocable share of the fair value of the reporting unit disposed of.

We review goodwill for impairment annually during the first quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The review of impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. The results of the first quarter analysis did not result in an impairment since the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.

11. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Fair Value Hedge

On May 6, 2022, we entered into a cross-currency swap contract to reduce the effect of the fluctuating U.S. Dollar (“USD”) to Japanese Yen (“JPY”) foreign exchange rate on our foreign currency-denominated intercompany loan between our Japanese and U.S. subsidiary. We expect the gains and losses on this contract to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from the remeasurement of the principal and interest accrued on the loan. Though the intercompany loan eliminates in consolidation, the foreign currency remeasurement of the loan and interest by the U.S. subsidiary is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The cross-currency swap contract has a notional amount of JPY 11 billion and final receipt of $85 million. The cross-currency swap contract, which matures on November 2, 2031, swaps Yen-denominated interest payments for U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting the JPY 11 billion fixed-rate 3.51% intercompany loan to a fixed-rate 6.77% USD-denominated receivable for our U.S. subsidiary.

We designated the cross-currency swap contract to hedge the changes in value of the intercompany loan and its variability on earnings. We will apply fair value hedge accounting, and we will consider market factors other than the change in the spot exchange rate on the notional amount of the swap to be excluded components. The foreign currency spot rate fluctuations on the cross-currency swap notional amount and interest accruals are reported in earnings each period, while all other changes are reported in other comprehensive income. Because the terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument match and the likelihood of swap counterparty default is not probable, the hedge is expected to exactly offset changes in the fair value of the foreign currency debt resulting from to foreign currency fluctuations over the term of the swap.

As of July 30, 2022, the cross-currency swap had a fair value of $1 million and was included in other assets. We record the changes in the fair value of the contract to AOCL. Each period, we reclassify an amount out of AOCL equal to the remeasurement gain or loss on the hedged intercompany loan that is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of July 30, 2022, there was $3 million in AOCL, net of tax, related to the cross-currency swap. In addition, we recognize swap interest income based on the differential in fixed interest rates per the contract. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, we recorded $1 million of income in interest expense, net. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding amounts recorded in AOCL.

12.8. Fair Value Measurements

Our financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, using a three-levelthree-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are categorized as follows:

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 –

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 –

Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

12. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

In 2021, we invested $68 million to take a common stock minority stake in a public entity, Retailors, Ltd, which is traded on the Tel Aviv stock exchange. This investment is classified as a Level 1 instrument since the fair value is readily available in an active market.

The fair value of the auction rate security, classified as available-for-sale, is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the atmos acquisition is estimated using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations.

Our derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility and, therefore, are classified as Level 2 instruments.

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, and minority investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These assets are measured using Level 3 inputs, if determined to be impaired.

Minority investments measured using the fair value measurement alternative had a carrying value of $579 million and $612 million as of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

9. Earnings Per Share

We account for earnings per share (“EPS”) using the treasury stock method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic EPS computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSU”) are awarded to certain officers, key employees of the Company, and nonemployee directors. Additionally, performance stock units (“PSU”) are awarded to officers and certain key employees in connection with our long-term incentive program. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock provided that the applicable performance and vesting conditions are satisfied. PSU awards granted in 2022 and 2023 also include a performance objective based on our relative total shareholder return over the performance period to a pre-determined peer group, assuming the reinvestment of dividends. The fair value of these awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of the grant and share-based compensation expense will not be adjusted should the target awards vary from actual awards.

Generally, RSU awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years for employees and one year for nonemployee directors, provided there is continued service with the Company until the vesting date, subject to the terms of the award. PSU awards are earned only after the attainment of performance goals in connection with the relevant performance period and vest after an additional one-yearone-year period. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or PSU awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.

16.12. Legal Proceedings

Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or discontinued by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims. Additionally, the Company is a defendant in two purported class actions alleging wage/hour and wage statement violations in California.

We do not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole, based upon current knowledge and taking into consideration current accruals. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Judgments could be rendered or settlements made that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.

Corporate expense consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization related to the Company’s corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, and other items.

(3)

Other income / (expense), net includes non-operating items, changes in fair value of minority interests measured at fair value or using the fair value measurement alternative, changes in the market value of our available-for-sale security, our share of earnings or losses related to our equity method investments, and net benefit expense related to our pension and postretirement programs excluding the service cost component. See the Other income / (expense), net section for further information.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to reporting our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we report certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. We have presented certain financial measures identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.

Second Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q Page 20

These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives. We estimate the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a marginal tax rate to each of the respective items.item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the period.

The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition, to, and not as an alternative, to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Effective with the first quarter of 2022, the calculation for non-GAAP earnings excludes gains and losses from all minority investments, including the adjustments related to the investment in Retailors, Ltd. We believe this is a more representative measure of our recurring earnings, assists in the comparability of results, and is consistent with how management reviews performance. The non-GAAP results for 2021 have been recast, as applicable, to conform to the current year’s presentation. As we report quarterly results through 2022, we will provide updated non-GAAP reconciliations for the corresponding prior year’s quarter under this revised definition.

Presented below is a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP.

Segment Reporting and Results of Operations

We have determined that we have three operating segments, North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Our North America operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in the U.S. and Canada: Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Kids Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker, Champs Sports,and WSS, and Footaction, including each of their related e-commerce businesses, as well as our Eastbay business.businesses. Our EMEA operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in Europe: Foot Locker, Sidestep, and Kids Foot Locker, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our Asia Pacific operating segment includes the results of the Foot Locker banner and its related e-commerce business operating in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, as well as atmos, which operates primarily in Asia. We have further aggregated these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.

Results

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we announced the closure of Operationsthe Sidestep banner and the wind down of our stores operating in Hong Kong and Macau. We currently expect to wind down the majority of operations by the end of the second quarter. Additionally during the second quarter, we will be transitioning our Singapore and Malaysian business to a licensed store model.

All references to comparable-store sales for a given period relate to sales of stores that were open at the period-end and had been open for more than one year. The computation of consolidated comparable sales also includes our direct-to-customers channel. Stores opened or closed during the period are not included in the comparable-store base; however, stores closed temporarily for relocation or remodeling are included. Stores that were temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic are also included in the computation of comparable-store sales. Computations exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Sales from acquired businesses that include inventory are included in the computation of comparable-store sales after 15 monthsthe 15th month of operations. Accordingly, WSS comparable-store sales are included in the first quarter of WSS and2023, while sales from the atmos have been excluded frombanner only include two months in the computation of comparable-store sales. As a result of the Eastbay Team Sales divestiture, sales from this business were removed for the computation of comparable sales for all periods.

Our current year interim provision for income taxes was measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which represented a blend of federal, state, and foreign taxes and included the effect of certain nondeductible items as well as changes in our mix of domestic and foreign earnings or losses, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented.

We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits considering new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. The changes in tax reserves were not significant for any of

During the periods presented.

Excluding this charge were tax benefits totaling $2 million from reservesitem, and other insignificant reserve releases due to various statutesettlements of limitation lapses. The changes ininternational tax reserves were not significant for any of the prior-year periods.

During the quarter ended July 30, 2022, we also recorded a tax expense of $6 million in connection with Eastbay Team Sales divestiture, including the effect of a non-deductible goodwill write-off.

Second Quarter 2022 Form 10-Q Page 27

During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, we recorded $1 million of expense related to tax deficiencies from share-based compensation, as compared with excess tax benefits of $1 million and $2 million in the first and second quarters of the corresponding prior-year periods, respectively.

Excluding the above-mentioned discrete items,examinations, the effective tax ratesrate for the current year periodsperiod increased, as compared with the corresponding prior-year periods,period, primarily due to the decline in income before tax and a change in the mix of domestic and foreign earnings.

Our effective tax rate will vary due to numerous factors, such as level and geographic mix of income and losses, acquisitions, investments, intercompany transactions, foreign currency exchange rates, our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, changes in the laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax, including changes to the global tax framework and other laws and accounting rules in various jurisdictions.earnings.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 into law. The IRA contains a number of revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA tax provisions will have a significant effect on our overall effective tax rate.

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations, while the principal uses of cash have been to fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, internet and mobile sites, information systems, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies, including strategic investments.

We generally finance real estate with operating leases. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, future cash flow from operations, and amounts available under our credit agreement will be adequate to fund these requirements.

The Company may also repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Share repurchases and retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, strategic considerations, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of July 30, 2022,April 29, 2023, approximately $1,103 million remained available under our current $1.2 billion share repurchase program, which was approvedprogram.

Our full-year capital spending is expected to be $275 million. The forecast includes $210 million related to the remodeling or relocation of approximately 170 existing stores and the opening of approximately 90 new stores, including 25 WSS stores. Additionally, we expect to spend $65 million for the development of information systems, websites, and infrastructure, including supply chain initiatives. We also expect to spend an additional $30 million in February 2022. The new program does not have an expiration date.software-as-a-service contracts related to our technology initiatives.

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of our merchandise mix, retail locations and websites, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, our reliance on a few key suppliers for a significant portion of our merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, continued uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors listed under the headings “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Risk Factors” could affect our ability to continue to fund our needs from business operations.

Item4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the quarter, the Company’s management performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosureThe term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures were effectiveof a company that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that we fileit files or submitsubmits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECSEC’s rules and forms,forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including the CEOits principal executive and CFO,principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Second Quarter 2022

Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of April 29, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the un-remediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to certain ineffective general information technology controls over logical access and change management at our WSS business, which was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-Q Page 30

During the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2023. 

Remediation

Management is in the process of implementing measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) designing and implementing controls related to deprovisioning, privileged access, and user access reviews, (ii) developing an enhanced risk assessment process to evaluate logical access, and (iii) improving the existing training program associated with control design and implementation. We believe that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses. Management began to implement certain of these remedial steps during the first quarter ended July 30, 2022,of 2023. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes other than process changes that may be necessary related to the newly acquired businesses, in the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) ofand 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the quarter ended April 29, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.

First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q Page 23

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Because of its inherent limitations, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
