1.    Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hibbett, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (including the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2021,29, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. References to “Hibbett,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Hibbett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as its predecessors.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021,29, 2022, filed on April 7, 2021 ("2021March 25, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in the 20212022 Annual Report and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.

Occasionally, certain reclassifications are made to conform previously reported data to the current presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on total assets, total liabilities, net income, cash flows or stockholders’ investment in any of the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the merchandise is transferred to our customer which is at delivery. Sales are recorded net of expected returns at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Net sales exclude sales taxes because we are a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting these taxes.

Gift Cards and Customer Orders, and Layaways:Orders: The net deferred revenue liability for gift cards and customer orders at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and layaways at October 30,July 31, 2021 January 30, 2021, and October 31, 2020 was $9.2$11.0 million, $8.8$9.6 million, and $8.2$10.4 million, respectively, recognized in accounts payable on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognize revenue when a gift card is redeemed by the customer and recognize gift card breakage income in net sales in proportion to the redemption pattern of rights exercised by the customer. For all periods presented, gift card breakage was immaterial.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and theThe City Gear tradename areis an indefinite-lived assetsasset which areis not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset is impaired. Such events or circumstances could include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock. If an asset is impaired, the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recorded as an impairment charge to current income.

Due to the macroeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined that indicators of potential impairment were present during the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020. As a result, we performed interim impairment testing on goodwill and the City Gear tradename as of April 15, 2020, using updated assumptions around prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates applied to future cash flows, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry.

In valuing goodwill, we use a combination of the Discounted Cash Flow methodology and the Guideline Public Company methodology, which require assumptions related to future cash flows, discount rate, and comparable public company entities. In the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020 and year ended January 30, 2021, we determined that goodwill of our City Gear reporting unit was fully impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $19.7 million. No impairment related to goodwill was recognized during the 13-weeks or 39-weeks ended October 30, 2021.

In valuing the tradename intangible, we use the Relief from Royalty method which requires assumptions related to future revenues, royalty rate and discount rate. In the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020 and year ended January 30, 2021, we determined that the City Gear tradename was partially impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $8.9 million in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. No impairment related to the tradename intangible was recognized during the 13-weeks or 39-weeks26-weeks ended OctoberJuly 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021.

2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards that were adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes ("Topic 740"): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” as part of its overall simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 was issued in order to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to financial statement users. The amendments remove certain exceptions to the general provisions of Topic 740 and provide simplification in other areas of Topic 740. We adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 31, 2021, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards that are not yet adopted

We continuously monitor and review all current accounting pronouncements and standards from the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board of U.S. GAAP for applicability to our operations. As of OctoberJuly 30, 2021,2022, there were no other new pronouncements or interpretations that had or were expected to have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

3.    Leases

ROU lease assets are periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine when to test ROU assets (or asset groups that contain one or more ROU assets for impairment), whether ROU assets are impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. An assetAsset group impairment charge of approximately $2.1 million and $1.4 million was recognizedcharges in the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended OctoberJuly 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, and October 31, 2020, respectively.

4.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level I      – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II      – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I.
Level III     – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Short-term investments are reported in other current assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Long-term investments are reported in other assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Short-term contingent earnout is reported in other accrued expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Long-term contingent earnout is reported in other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The short-term and long-term contingent earnouts represent the fair value of potential additional payments outlined in the Purchase Agreement to the former members and warrant holders of City Gear if certain financial goals were achieved in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 ("Earnout"). The total Earnout was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk-neutral framework with assumptions for volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The Earnout was re-valued each quarter in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 and any change in valuation was recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. No revaluation was required in Fiscal 2022 and therefore no costs were recognized in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2022 as both Earnouts had been fully determined and paid out by the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. As a result of the revaluation for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020, an increase of $0.2 million and $3.7 million was recognized in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses, respectively.

5.    Debt

In October 2018, we entered into amended agreements with Bank of America, N.A. and Regions Bank providing for an aggregate amount of credit available to us under each line of credit of $50.0 million.

On April 16, 2020, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Note with Regions Bank ("Amended Credit Facility") that provided for an aggregate amount of credit available to us of $75.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility superseded the Regions Bank credit agreement dated October 2018, with a maturity date of April 19, 2021, and was secured by all assets of the Company with the exception of real property. Simultaneous with the execution of the Amended Credit Facility, the $50.0 million outstanding under the previous credit agreements was paid in full, the Bank of America credit agreement dated October 2018 was terminated and we incurred borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility of $50.0 million. On June 5, 2020, we entered into a Note Modification Agreementan amended agreement with Regions Bank that extended the maturity date of the Amended Credit Facilitythen existing credit facility of $75.0 million from April 19, 2021 to July 18, 2021. No other provisions of the Amended Credit Facility were affected.

The 2021 Credit Facility includes an annual commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount between 15 and 20 basis points of the unused portion of the line of credit as determined on a daily basis, dependent on the amount of debt outstanding. In addition, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants which include:
Advance limitation of 55% of the net book value of the Company's inventory;
A Consolidated Lease-Adjusted Leverage Ratio comparing lease-adjusted funded debt (funded debt plus all lease
liabilities) to EBITDAR (as defined in the 2021 Credit Facility) with a maximum of 3.5x; and
A Consolidated Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio comparing EBITDAR to fixed charges and certain current liabilities (as defined in the 2021 Credit Facility) with a minimum of 1.2x.

7.    Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and issuance of restricted stock. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands):

8.    Stock Repurchase ActivityProgram
On May 26, 2021, the Board of Directors ("Board"(the "Board") authorized the expansion and extension of our existing Stock Repurchase Program ("(the "Repurchase Program") by $500.0 million to a total of $800.0 million to repurchase our common stock through February 1, 2025. The Repurchase Program's original authorization was approved in November 2015 in the amount of $300.0 million and, prior to the Board's action, was scheduled to expire on January 29, 2022.
The Program authorizes repurchases of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases dependent on market conditions and at the discretion of our management. In addition to the Program, we also acquire shares of our common stock from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements due at vesting. Shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements do not reduce the Program authorization.

9.    Dividends

In June 2021, the Board instituted a recurring quarterly cash dividend with the first cash dividend made on July 20, 2021. During the 13-weeks ended July 30, 2022, we paid cash dividends of $3.2 million under one declaration of $0.25 per share of common stock outstanding as of the record date.

During the 13-weeks ended and 26-weeks ended July 31, 2021, we paid the Company's first cash dividend of $3.8 million under one declaration of $0.25 per share of common stock outstanding as of the record date.

While we currently pay a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share and expect to pay comparable cash dividends in the future, the declaration of dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for any future dividends are subject to the final determination of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare dividends in any particular amounts or at all, and changes in our dividend policy could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Subsequent to July 30, 2022, on August 24, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on September 20, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2022. The estimated payment is expected to be $3.2 million.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings and Contingencies.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal matters in the ordinary course of its business, including actions by employees, consumers, suppliers, government agencies or others. The Company has recorded accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For some matters, a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore an accrual has not been made.

The Company believes that its pending legal matters, both individually and in the aggregate, will be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole. However, litigation and other legal matters involve an element of uncertainty. Adverse decisions and settlements, including any required changes to the Company's business, or other developments in such matters could affect our operating results in future periods or result in a liability or other amounts material to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. No material amounts were accrued at OctoberJuly 30, 2021,2022, January 30,29, 2022, or July 31, 2021 or October 31, 2020 pertaining to legal proceedings or other contingencies.

10.11.    Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual effective tax rate based on expected taxable income or loss for the full year and record a quarterly income tax provision (benefit) in accordance with the
12

Index
anticipated annual effective rate and adjust for discrete items. We update the estimates of the taxable income or loss throughout the year as new information becomes available, including year-to-date financial results. This process often results in a change to our expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust the income tax provision (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual effective tax rate.
We apply the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10 in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. We recognize a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in our judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets
At July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and July 31, 2021, the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we initially and subsequently measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that we judge to have a greater than 50% likelihood of
14

Index
being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Our liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments, and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. Our effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management.
At October 30, 2021, we had a liability of $0.6 million associated with unrecognized tax benefits.was immaterial. We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. Generally, we are not subject to changes in income taxes by the U.S. federal taxing jurisdiction for years prior to Fiscal 2019 or by most state taxing jurisdictions for years prior to Fiscal 2018.

Comparable store salesStore Sales - Comparable store sales for a particular periodStores deemed as comparable stores include our Hibbett, City Gear and Sports Additions stores open throughout thatthe reporting period and the corresponding fiscal period of the prior fiscal year,referenced, and e-commerce sales. We consider comparable store sales to be a key indicator of our current performance; measuring the growth in sales and sales productivity of existing stores. Management believes that positive comparable store sales contribute to greater leveraging of operating costs, particularly payroll and occupancy costs, while negative comparable store sales contribute to deleveraging of costs. Comparable store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales and the level of cash flow.

If a store remodel, relocation or expansion results in the store being closed for a significant period, its sales are removed from the comparable store sales base until it has been open a full 12 months. In addition, rebranded stores are treated as new stores and are not presented in comparable store sales until they have been open a full 12 months under the new brand.

About Non-GAAP Measures

This Management Discussion and Analysis includes certain non-GAAP financial measures for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020, including adjusted net income, diluted earnings per share, cost of goods sold, gross margin, SG&A expenses (including goodwill impairment), operating income, and provision for income taxes as a percentage of net sales. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of our current financial results to historical operations and the financial results of peer companies, as they exclude the effects of items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying operating results, such as expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the acquisition of City Gear. Costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic include impairment charges of goodwill, tradename, and other assets and lower of cost or net realizable value inventory reserve charges. The costs related to the acquisition of City Gear include change in valuation of the contingent earnout and professional fees. There were no non-GAAP financial measures for the 13-weeks or 39-weeks ended October 30, 2021.

While our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance their ability to assess certain aspects of our financial performance, our management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial statements. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial statements, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Reconciliations of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020, as reported on a GAAP basis, to statements of operations for the same period prepared on a non-GAAP basis, are provided below under the heading “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

References to “adjusted” results indicates that the impact of non-GAAP financial measures have been excluded.

The decline in product margin was due to a higher mix of e-commerce sales which carry a lower margin than brick and mortar sales, general shifts in product mix and delays in launch events. The deleverage of store occupancy costs was mainly due to the year-over-year decline in total sales coupled with higher rent, utility and store security costs.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses were 22.9% of net sales for the 26-weeks ended July 30, 2022, compared with 20.0% of net sales for the 26-weeks ended July 31, 2021. The approximate 290 basis point increase is primarily the result of deleverage from the year-over-year sales decline in categories such as wages, professional fees, advertising and supplies necessary to support a larger store base and increased e-commerce volume.

SG&A expenses

SG&A expenses, including goodwill impairment in the prior year, were 21.5% of net sales for the 39-weeks ended October 30, 2021, compared with 26.4% of net sales for the 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020. Excluding certain City Gear acquisition and integration expenses and pandemic related impairment and valuation costs that occurred in the 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020, current year SG&A expenses of 21.5% of net sales reflected an improvement of approximately 110 basis points from adjusted SG&A expenses of 22.6% of net sales for the 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020 due to leverage from the significant year over year revenue growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

ImpactCOVID-19 and Other Macroeconomic Factors

We continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemicpandemic, the inflationary economic environment, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical conflicts on Liquidityour business. The positive sales impact of pandemic-related stimulus payments and incremental unemployment benefits over the last two fiscal years began moderating in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 and continued into Fiscal 2023. We have also experienced significant input cost inflation for commodities, freight and transportation, and to a lesser extent, for labor in the current year. We continue to monitor these headwinds.

In response to the uncertain market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic early in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we enhanced our liquidity position through the following actions:
In March 2020, we borrowed $50.0 million, $25.0 million from each of our two separate $50.0 million unsecured, demand lines of credit. This was done as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility.
In April 2020, we replaced these two lines of credit with a single $75.0 million secured line of credit with a one-year term and continued to have $50.0 million in outstanding borrowings. In June 2020, the term of the secured line of credit was extended to July 2021. The outstanding $50.0 million balance was subsequently paid off duringWe ended the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.
We worked with merchandise and non-merchandise vendors to extend payment terms temporarily through the middle of the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.
We negotiated rent deferrals with landlords at select locations.

As the result of strong sales beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, our liquidity position improved significantly. We ended the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 with $29.7$28.4 million of available cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of OctoberJuly 30, 2021,2022, we had no$88.5 million of debt outstanding and full availability$36.5 million available to us under our 2021the Credit Facility, discussed in Note 5, Debt, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventory at the end of the third quarter of FiscalJuly 30, 2022 was $258.8$366.2 million, a 22.8%68.9% increase compared to July 31, 2021, and a 65.5% increase from the beginning of the fiscal year. Supply chain disruptions that impacted inventory availability in the prior year third quarter. The inventory balance at the end of the prior year third quarter was well below historical levels. Higherhave moderated. In addition, higher order quantities resulting from our increased sales volume, a more consistent flow of goods and strong relationships with our vendor partners have allowed us to slowly build inventory back toward preferred levels.to a level that better supports anticipated customer demand.

Our capital requirements relate primarily to new store openings, relocations, and remodels,funding capital expenditures, stock repurchases, investments individends, the maintenance of facilities dividends, and systems to support company growth and working capital requirements. Our working capital requirements are somewhat seasonal in nature and typically reach their peak near the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Historically, we have funded our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operations and occasionally from borrowings under our credit facilities.

Operating Activities.Activities

Cash flow from operations is seasonal in our business. Typically, we use cash flow from operations to increase inventory in advance of peak selling seasons, such as winter holidays, the spring sales period and the late summer back-to-school shopping season.shopping. Inventory levels are reduced in connection with higher sales during the peak selling seasons and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically produces a positive cash flow.

Net cash provided byused in operating activities was $112.0$9.8 million for the 39-weeks26-weeks ended OctoberJuly 30, 2021,2022, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $145.2$115.5 million for the 39-weeks26-weeks ended OctoberJuly 31, 2020.2021. Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities as noted in the tablebullets below.

Non-cash depreciation and amortization expense increased due to capital expenditure investments in new stores, existing store remodels and refreshes, technology enhancements and supporting corporate infrastructure.
Non-cash asset impairment charges for the 39-weeks ended October 31, 2020 resulted from a significant temporary decrease in the market valuation of the Company at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The contingent earnout representsin the prior year represented $15.0 million paid during the 39-weeks26-weeks ended October 30,July 31, 2021, to the former members and warrant holders of City Gear for achievement of previously defined financial goals in the second-year post acquisition. Of this amount, $13.8 million was reflected as operating activities and $1.2 million was reflected as financing activities, which representsrepresented the fair value of the long-term portion of the contingent earnout booked through the purchase price allocation.
Inventory balances in the current year have been slowlycontinued building from historically lowless than ideal levels. Inventory levels in the prior year were reduced significantly due to a surge in demand combined with a disruption in the supply chain that made it difficult to replenish balances.
The change in accounts payable is due mainly to the timing of payments in relation to inventory receipts.

In the current year, we have repurchased $238.3$29.4 million of our common stock under our Repurchase Program. This compares to $9.7$120.5 million used to repurchase our common stock under our Repurchase Program in the same period of the prior year. See Note 8, Stock Repurchase Activity,Program, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

OnDuring the 26-weeks ended July 9, 2021,30, 2022, we executed a new unsecured Credit Agreement ("2021 Credit Facility") between the Company and its subsidiaries and Regions Bank. The 2021had net borrowings of $88.5 million against our Credit Facility supersedesand $36.5 million available under the Amended Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility provides an unsecured line of credit of up to $100.0 million. The 2021 Credit Facility is effective throughat July 9, 2026, with an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.8% depending on specified leverage levels.

There were no origination fees paid by30, 2022. We did not have any borrowings under our facilities during the Company. However, the 2021 Credit Facility includes an annual commitment fee,
payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount between 15 and 20 basis points of the unused portion of the line of credit as
determined on a daily basis, dependent on the amount of debt outstanding. In addition, the Company is subject to certain
financial covenants which include:
Advance limitation of 55% of the net book value of the Company's inventory;

Quarterly and Seasonal Fluctuations

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and results of operations. We typically experience higher net sales in early spring due to spring sports and annual tax refunds, late summer due to back-to-school shopping and winter due to holiday shopping. In addition, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including unseasonal weather patterns, the timing of high demand footwear launches, demand for merchandise driven by local interest in sporting events, back-to-school sales, and the timing of sales tax holidays and annual income tax refunds. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted youth and high school team sports and has resulted in some shifts of normal seasonal patterns during the periods presented.

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that, historically, inflation has had a long-term material impact on our results of operations as weoperations. We are generally able to pass along a significant portion of inflationary cost increases in costs to our customers.

ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Investment and Credit Availability Risk
We manage cash and cash equivalents in various institutions at levels beyond federally insured limits per institution, and we purchase investments not guaranteed by the FDIC. Accordingly, there is a risk that we will not recover the full principal of our investments or that their liquidity may be diminished. In an attempt to mitigate this risk, our investment policy emphasizes preservation of principal and liquidity.
Additionally, Regions Bank is committed to provide loans under our 2021 Amended Credit Facility. There is a risk that Regions Bank cannot deliver against these obligations. For a further discussion of this risk and risks related to our deposits, see “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risks results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates. There have been no material changes toin our quantitative and qualitative market risks since January 29, 2022. For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risks from those disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Borrowing underrisk, refer to the 2021 Credit Facility uses the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate. Given the International Exchange Benchmark Administration’s announced phase-out of LIBOR, the 2021 Credit Facility includes a LIBOR phase-out provision. If, during the term of the 2021 Credit Facility, the lender determines that LIBOR is unavailable, impracticable or unreliable for use, the variable interest rate will be determined based on a substitute index which may be Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Daily Simple SOFR, or an alternate rate index that has been selected by the Lender as the replacement for LIBOR. The replacement index will then become the operative interest rate index for borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility, subject to provisionsCompany's market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of the 2021 Credit Facility.

Based on historical levels of borrowing under our credit facilities and the short-term nature of such, we do not expect a transition away from LIBOR to impact us in any material way.Company's 2022 Annual Report
