ILLUSTRATIVE “COVID 2.0” SCENARIO ▪ Illustrative “COVID 2.0” analysis assumes a stress case scenario with: – Cash & equivalents of $251M and $393M outstanding under the revolver and $5M in letters of credit issued, resulting in $2M available for borrowings and $253M of liquidity (as of quarter ended May 2, 2020) – Weekly cash inflows of $23M(1) based on the trough period during the weeks ended March 27 and April 3, when all of the Company’s stores were closed, cash receipts were generated solely from e-commerce, and there was little spend on advertising to drive traffic to its e- commerce website; and – Cash outflows of $32M(2) based on operating expenses during the weeks ended March 20 through June 19, including expenses to begin bringing vendors and landlords current on prior amounts due • While cash inflows includes receipts only from e-commerce sales, the Company did pay ~$18 million in rent expense during this period, which is included in the cash outflows ▪ Assuming this scenario indefinitely, the weekly cash outflows would be approximately $9M (or approximately $37M per month), which would imply ~7 months of months of liquidity, assuming no additional capital is raised – Excludes estimated cash NOL tax refund of ~$140 million expected to be received in FY2021 ▪ The Company has planned conservatively for this Fall’s selling season to maximize financial flexibility: – Bought Fall inventory significantly down versus last year – ~20% of planned inventory purchases marked as “open to buy,” with no requirement to purchase or fund – Inventory purchase skewed heavily towards athletic category to maximize on growing trend during nationwide lockdown ▪ We are actively pursuing further options to increase financial flexibility. While there is no immediate need to raise capital, we intend to evaluate assessing the financing markets and may look to raise capital, when and if we deem it prudent, to further strengthen our balance sheet. – There can be no assurance that we will raise additional capital, or as to the timing or terms of any such additional capital. If additional liquidity is needed, we may take additional actions including adjusting our marketing spend, implementing further employee furloughs, reducing the store labor requirements, and forgoing additional capital expenditures and other discretionary expenses.
