of this report under the heading Our Business Strategy. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Macroeconomic Environment The conflict in the Middle East, which began in March 2026, has resulted in increased fuel and oil costs, the strengthening of the United States dollar against other currencies, in particular the euro, and volatility in world financial markets. These and other factors may lead to broader macroeconomic implications that could have a significant impact on our business including a decline in consumer spending and inventory availability. The length, scope and intensity of the conflict is unknown. As a result, there is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which the conflict and its broader macroeconomic implications will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in 2026. Inflation and other macroeconomic pressures, such as tariffs (discussed further below), elevated interest rates and the risk of recession, continue to create a complex and challenging retail environment globally, particularly in North America. Macroeconomic factors have had and may continue to have a negative impact on consumer demand for apparel and related products globally. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the United States, with incremental tariffs on products imported from most countries and economic unions, and the potential for further increases and revisions or terminations to existing trade agreements.
