PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our ability to:

•successfully manage risks relating to the spread of coronavirus (also known as COVID-19), including any adverse impacts on our supply chain, workforce, facilities, customer services and operations;

•sustain our recent growth rates and manage our growth effectively;

•acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner and increase our net sales per active customer;

•accurately predict economic conditions, particularly the impact on economic conditions of the spread of COVID-19, and their impact on consumer spending patterns, particularly in the pet products market, and accurately forecast net sales and appropriately plan our expenses in the future;

•introduce new products or offerings and improve existing products;

•successfully compete in the pet products and services retail industry, especially in the e-commerce sector;

•source additional, or strengthen our existing relationships with, suppliers;

•negotiate acceptable pricing and other terms with third-party service providers, suppliers and outsourcing partners and maintain our relationships with such entities;

•optimize, operate and manage the expansion of the capacity of our fulfillment centers, including risks from the spread of COVID-19 relating to our plans to expand capacity and develop new facilities;

•provide our customers with a cost-effective platform that is able to respond and adapt to rapid changes in technology;

•maintain adequate cybersecurity with respect to our systems and ensure that our third-party service providers do the same with respect to their systems;

•successfully manufacture and sell our own ~~private~~proprietary brand products;

•maintain consumer confidence in the safety and quality of our vendor-supplied and ~~private~~proprietary brand food products and hardgood products;

•comply with existing or future laws and regulations in a cost-efficient manner;

•attract, develop, motivate and retain well-qualified employees; and

•adequately protect our intellectual property rights and successfully defend ourselves against any intellectual property infringement claims or other allegations that we may be subject to.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

Investors and others should note that we may announce material information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://investor.chewy.com/), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our business and other issues. It is possible that the information that we post on social media could be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors to visit these websites from time to time. The information contained on such websites and social media posts is not incorporated by reference into this filing. Further, our references to website URLs in this filing are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Significant Accounting Policies

~~There~~Other than policies noted herein or within Recent Accounting Pronouncements below, there have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the 10-K Report.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Key estimates relate primarily to determining the net realizable value and demand for inventory, useful lives associated with property and equipment, valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets, contingencies, self-insurance accruals, evaluation of sales tax positions, and the valuation and assumptions underlying share-based compensation. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

~~As of May 3, 2020, there were no material changes to the Company’s legal matters disclosed in Note 4 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the 10-K Report.~~Legal Matters

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which it is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) previously alleged that the Company is infringing 4 of its patents. On February 15, 2021, the Company filed a declaration judgment action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against IBM seeking the court’s declaration that the Company is not infringing the 4 asserted IBM patents.

The Company filed a motion to dismiss IBM’s claims against three of the asserted patents on May 14, 2021. In response, IBM filed an amended complaint on May 24, 2021 that included an additional assertion that the Company is infringing a fifth IBM patent. The Company filed a motion to dismiss IBM’s claims with respect to the newly asserted fifth patent on May 28, 2021.The Company continues to deny the allegations of any infringement and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

During the thirteen weeks ended May ~~3, 2020,~~2, 2021, the Company ~~recorded a $12.8~~collected $15.0 million ~~due from Parent~~ pursuant to the tax sharing agreement.

~~The Coronavirus Aid, Relief,~~ Though the tax sharing agreement was effectively terminated upon tax deconsolidation for federal income taxes, future settlements will occur upon the filing of final tax returns. Additionally, the Company will continue to receive payments upon the filing of certain combined state tax returns for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and ~~Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”),~~thereafter. As of May 2, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Company had a receivable related to the tax sharing agreement of $24.7 million and $30.5 million, respectively, of which ~~was enacted on March 27, 2020, made tax law changes to provide financial relief to companies as a result of~~ the business impacts of COVID-19.

9.10. Net ~~Loss~~Income (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted net ~~loss~~income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented using the two class method required for participating securities. Under the two class method, net ~~loss~~income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings between common stock and participating securities. Undistributed earnings for the periods presented are calculated as net ~~loss~~income (loss) less distributed earnings.

Undistributed earnings are allocated proportionally to common Class A and Class B stockholders as both classes are entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in dividends and other distributions. Basic and diluted net ~~loss~~income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net ~~loss~~income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. ~~The weighted-average shares outstanding during the periods presented reflects the reclassification of the 100 outstanding shares of common stock into 393,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.~~

For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021, the Company’s calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common Class A and Class B stockholders include the dilutive effect of stock-based awards in the diluted net income per share calculation. The computation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders does not include 2.1 million potential common shares for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2021.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, ~~and May 5, 2019,~~ the Company’s calculations of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common Class A and Class B stockholders are the same because the Company ~~has~~ generated a net loss to common stockholders and common stock equivalents are excluded from diluted net loss per share as they have an antidilutive impact. The computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders does not include 21.8 million potential common shares for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, as the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

~~Conversion of Class B Common Stock~~The following table sets forth basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

On May 8, 2020, Buddy Chester Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PetSmart, converted 17,584,098 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock into Class A common stock. On May 11, 2020, Buddy Chester Sub LLC entered into a variable forward purchase agreement to deliver up to 17,584,098 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the exchange date, which is expected to be May 16, 2023, determined by reference to the trading price of the common stock at that time.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May ~~3, 2020~~2, 2021 (“10-Q Report”) and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~February 2, 2020~~January 31, 2021 (“10-K Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections herein and in our 10-K Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Chewy,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Chewy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We are the largest pure-play pet e-tailer in the United States, offering virtually every product a pet needs. We launched Chewy in 2011 to bring the best of the neighborhood pet store shopping experience to a larger audience, enhanced by the depth and wide selection of products and around-the-clock convenience that only e-commerce can offer. We believe that we are the preeminent ~~online~~ destination for pet parents as a result of our broad selection of high-quality products, which we offer at great prices and deliver with an exceptional level of care and a personal touch. We are the trusted source for pet parents and continually develop innovative ways for our customers to engage with us. We partner with more than ~~2,000~~2,500 of the best and most trusted brands in the pet industry, and we create and offer our own outstanding ~~private~~proprietary brands. Through our website and mobile applications, we offer our customers more than ~~60,000~~75,000 products, compelling merchandising, an easy and enjoyable shopping experience, and exceptional customer service.

~~Coronavirus~~COVID-19

The ~~coronavirus (also known as COVID-19)~~COVID-19 pandemic has been a ~~highly~~ disruptive economic and societal event that has affected our business and ~~has had a significant impact on~~ consumer shopping behavior. To serve our pet parents while also providing for the safety and well-being of our team members, we have adapted aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain and purchasing ~~processes.~~processes accordingly. As reflected in the discussion below, ~~early in the outbreak,~~ we ~~saw an acceleration in sales as concerned pet parents stocked up on necessities such as food and other essentials. Later, as shelter-in-place orders expanded and social distancing protocols took hold,~~have seen customers ~~began shifting~~shift more of their total shopping spend to online ~~channels.~~channels since the COVID-19 outbreak, which has led to increased sales and order activity for our business. While the COVID-19 outbreak has not had a material adverse impact on our operations to date, and conditions do appear to be improving as vaccination levels rise and state and local economies begin to re-open, the positive or negative impacts that the COVID-19 outbreak will ultimately have on our business remain difficult to predict.

~~Throughout the~~As this crisis unfolded, we ~~continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation~~monitored conditions closely and ~~expect to remain on the job, continuing to adapt~~adapted our operations to ~~address~~meet federal, state and local standards, ~~meeting~~while continuing to meet the needs of our rapidly growing community of pets and pet parents and ~~implementing standards that we believe~~ to ~~be in the best interest of~~ensure the safety and well-being of our team members. ~~We cannot~~While conditions appear to be improving, we are still unable to predict the duration ~~or severity~~ of the ~~economic~~COVID-19 pandemic and therefore what the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be on the broader economy or ~~its ultimate impact on~~ our operations and ~~liquidity, as~~liquidity. As such, ~~the situation remains unpredictable and~~ risks still remain. Please refer to the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this 10-Q Report and the “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~February 2, 2020.~~January 31, 2021.

Fiscal Year End

We have a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending each year on the Sunday that is closest to January 31 of that year. Our ~~2020~~2021 fiscal year ends on January ~~31, 2021~~30, 2022 and is a 52-week year. Our ~~2019~~2020 fiscal year ended ~~February 2, 2020~~January 31, 2021 and was a 52-week year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this

10-Q Report adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net ~~loss~~income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense and related taxes; income tax provision; interest income (expense), net; management fee expense; transaction related costs; and litigation matters and other ~~costs.~~items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations. We have provided a reconciliation below of adjusted EBITDA to net ~~loss,~~income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We have included adjusted EBITDA in this 10-Q Report because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and certain variable charges. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and management fee expense from our adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude income tax provision; interest income (expense), net; transaction related costs; and ~~transaction~~litigation matters and other ~~costs as these~~ items which are not components of our core business operations. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;

•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation and related taxes. Share-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense), net; or changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital;

•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related costs and other ~~costs~~items which are ~~generally~~either not representative of our underlying operations or are incremental costs that result from an actual or planned transaction and include ~~transaction costs (i.e. IPO costs),~~litigation matters, integration consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems; and

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net ~~loss,~~income (loss), net margin, and our other GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net ~~loss~~income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

Free Cash Flow

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have also disclosed here and elsewhere in this 10-Q Report free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures (which consist of purchases of property and equipment, including servers and networking equipment, capitalization of labor related to our website, mobile applications, and software development, and leasehold improvements). We have provided a reconciliation below of free cash flow to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We have included free cash flow in this 10-Q Report because it is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Accordingly, we believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Free cash flow has limitations as a financial measure and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including that other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow differently. Because of these limitations, you should consider free cash flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, capital expenditures and our other GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow for each of the periods indicated.

Free cash flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments (such as the launch of new fulfillment centers, customer service centers, and corporate offices and purchases of IT and other equipment), fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital, and changes in our cash conversion cycle due to increases or decreases of vendor payment terms as well as inventory turnover.

Key Operating Metrics

Active Customers

As of the last date of each reporting period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered, and for whom an order has shipped, at least once during the preceding 364-day period. The change in active customers in a reporting period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of customers who have not made a purchase in the last 364 days. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth—acquisition and retention of customers—as a result of our marketing efforts and the value we provide to our customers. The number of active customers has grown over time as we acquired new customers and retained previously acquired customers.

Net Sales Per Active Customer

We define net sales per active customer as the aggregate net sales for the preceding four fiscal quarters, divided by the total number of active customers at the end of that period. We view net sales per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.

Autoship and Autoship Customer Sales

We define Autoship customers as customers in a given fiscal quarter for whom an order has shipped through our Autoship subscription program during the preceding 364-day period. We define Autoship as our subscription program, which provides automatic ordering, payment, and delivery of products to our customers. We view our Autoship subscription program as a key driver of recurring net sales and customer retention. For a given fiscal quarter, Autoship customer sales consist of sales and shipping revenues from all Autoship subscription program purchases and purchases outside of the Autoship subscription program by Autoship customers, excluding taxes collected from customers, excluding any refund allowance, and net of any promotional offers (such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers), for that quarter. For a given fiscal year, Autoship customer sales equal the sum of the Autoship customer sales for each of the fiscal quarters in that fiscal year.

Autoship Customer Sales as a Percentage of Net Sales

We define Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as the Autoship customer sales in a given reporting period divided by the net sales from all orders in that period. We view Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as a key indicator of our recurring sales and customer retention.

Components of Results of Consolidated Operations

Net Sales

We derive net sales primarily from sales of both third-party brand and ~~private~~proprietary brand pet food, pet products, pet medications and other pet health products, and related shipping fees. Sales of third-party brand and ~~private~~proprietary brand pet food, pet products and shipping revenues are recorded when products are shipped, net of promotional discounts and refund allowances. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from net sales. Net sales is primarily driven by growth of new customers and active customers, and the frequency with which customers purchase and subscribe to our Autoship subscription program.

We also periodically provide promotional offers, including discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers. These offers are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction and are reflected as a net amount in net sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of third-party brand and ~~private~~proprietary brand products sold to customers, inventory freight, shipping supply costs, inventory shrinkage costs, and inventory valuation adjustments, offset by reductions for promotions and percentage or volume rebates offered by our vendors, which may depend on reaching minimum purchase thresholds. Generally, amounts received from vendors are considered a reduction of the carrying value of inventory and are ultimately reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human resources; costs associated with use by these functions, such as depreciation expense and rent relating to facilities and equipment; professional fees and other general corporate costs; share-based compensation; and fulfillment costs.

Fulfillment costs represent costs incurred in operating and staffing fulfillment and customer service centers, including costs attributable to buying, receiving, inspecting and warehousing inventories, picking, packaging and preparing customer orders for shipment, payment processing and related transaction costs and responding to inquiries from customers. Included within fulfillment costs are merchant processing fees charged by third parties that provide merchant processing services for credit cards.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses consist of advertising and payroll related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and selling activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Since our inception, we have financed~~We finance our operations and capital expenditures primarily through ~~sales of convertible redeemable preferred stock and~~ cash flows generated by ~~operations.~~operations and equity offerings. Our principal ~~source~~sources of liquidity isare expected to be our cash and cash ~~equivalents.~~equivalents and our revolving credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with banks and investments in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$192.5~~$637.5 million as of May ~~3, 2020, a decrease~~2, 2021, an increase of ~~$19.6~~$74.2 million from ~~February 2, 2020.~~January 31, 2021.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital, ~~and~~ capital expenditure requirements, and contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds at any time through equity or debt financing arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity could be adversely affected. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our ~~Form~~ 10-K Report. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, we may be unable to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Other Liquidity Measures

ABL Credit Facility

We have a five year senior secured asset backed credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) which matures in June 2024 and provides for non-amortizing revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, subject to a borrowing base comprised of, among other things, inventory and sales receivables (subject to certain reserves). The ABL Credit Facility provides the right to request incremental commitments and add incremental asset-based revolving loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, subject to customary conditions. We are required to pay a ~~pay~~ commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.375% with respect to the undrawn portion of the commitments, which is generally based on average daily usage of the facility. Based on our borrowing base as of May 2, 2021, which is reduced by standby letters of credit, we had $272.8 million of borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. As of May ~~3, 2020,~~2, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended May ~~3, 2020.~~2, 2021.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. 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.
