In addition to other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including those factors described under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2024, and otherwise in our reports and filings with the SEC, there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements that include, but are not limited to, the following:

•uncertain general economic and financial conditions, including economic volatility, supply chain disruptions, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures, and the related impacts to consumer discretionary spending, as well as our ability to plan for and respond to the impact of these conditions;

•our ability to anticipate and respond to rapidly changing consumer preferences, seasonality, customer expectations, and fashion trends;

•the impact on our consumer traffic and demand, our business operations, and the operations of our suppliers, as we experience unseasonable weather, climate change evolves, and the frequency and severity of weather events increase;

•risks related to the implementation of new or updated IT systems;

•our ability to protect our reputation and to maintain the brands we license;

•our reliance on our loyalty programs and marketing to drive traffic, sales, and customer loyalty;

•our ability to successfully integrate new hires or changes in leadership and retain our existing management team, and to continue to attract qualified new personnel;

•risks related to restrictions imposed by our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, as amended ("ABL Revolver"), and our senior secured term loan credit agreement, as amended ("Term Loan"), that could limit our ability to fund our operations;

•our competitiveness with respect to style, price, brand availability, shopping platforms, and customer service;

•risks related to our international operations and our reliance on foreign sources for merchandise;

•our ability to comply with privacy laws and regulations, as well as other legal obligations;

•risks associated with climate change and other corporate responsibility issues; and

•uncertainties related to future legislation, regulatory reform, policy changes, or interpretive guidance on existing legislation.

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary materially from what we have projected. Furthermore, new factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can management assess the impact of any such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Business Operations- Designer Brands Inc. is one of the world's largest designers, producers, and retailers of footwear and accessories. We operate in three reportable segments: the U.S. Retail segment, the Canada Retail segment, and the Brand Portfolio segment. The U.S. Retail segment operates the DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse ("DSW") banner through its direct-to-consumer stores and e-commerce site in the United States ("U.S."). The Canada Retail segment operates The Shoe Co., DSW, and Rubino banners through its direct-to-consumer stores and e-commerce sites in Canada. The Brand Portfolio segment earns revenue from the wholesale of products to retailers and international distributors, the sale of our branded products through direct-to-consumer e-commerce for the Vince Camuto, Keds, and Topo brands, as well as from commissions for serving retailers as the design and buying agent for products under private labels.

We have a 40.0% ownership interest in ABG-Camuto, LLC ("ABG-Camuto"), a joint venture that owns the intellectual property rights of Vince Camuto and other brands. We are party to a licensing agreement with ABG-Camuto, which provides for the exclusive right to design, source, and sell footwear and handbags under the brands that ABG-Camuto owns. We also have a 33.3% ownership interest in Le Tigre 360 Global LLC ("Le Tigre"), which manages the Le Tigre brand, and are party to a license agreement with Le Tigre, which provides for the exclusive right to design, source, and sell Le Tigre-branded footwear. Our equity investments are an integral part of the Brand Portfolio segment. In addition, we own the licensing rights for footwear and handbags of the Lucky Brand and the licensing rights for footwear of the Jessica Simpson brand and the Hush Puppies brand.

On April 8, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Rubino Shoes Inc. ("Rubino"), a retailer of branded footwear, handbags, and accessories that operates Rubino banner stores and an e-commerce platform in Quebec, Canada. The acquisition of Rubino has allowed our Canada Retail segment to expand into the province of Quebec.

Basis of Presentation- The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The balance sheet as of February 3, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Fiscal Year- Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. References to a fiscal year (e.g., "2024") refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year begins. This reporting schedule is followed by many national retail companies and typically results in a 52-week fiscal year (including 2024), but occasionally will contain an additional week resulting in a 53-week fiscal year (including 2023).

Accounting Policies- The complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as presented in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation- The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Designer Brands Inc. and its subsidiaries, including any variable interest entities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts are in U.S. dollars.

Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain estimates and assumptions use forecasted financial information based on information reasonably available to us. Significant estimates and assumptions are required as a part of accounting for customer returns and allowances, gift card breakage income, deferred revenue associated with loyalty programs, valuation of inventories, depreciation and amortization, impairments of long-lived assets, intangibles, goodwill and equity investments, lease accounting, redeemable noncontrolling interest, income taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, and acquisitions. Although we believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and assumptions, and actual results could differ from these estimates.

Chief Executive Officer Transition- In January 2023, we announced our succession process relating to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") role, whereby our former CEO, Roger Rawlins, stepped down from his role as CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") effective April 1, 2023, at which time, Doug Howe, who previously served as Executive Vice President of the Company and President of DSW, assumed the CEO role and joined the Board. During the three and nine months ended October 28, 2023, we recognized $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of CEO transition costs in operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There are no CEO transition costs for 2024.

Severance- During the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we incurred severance costs of $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we incurred severance costs, excluding the severance related to the CEO transition, of $5.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. These costs are included in operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024, and October 28, 2023, we had $2.0 million, $3.9 million, and $4.3 million, respectively, of severance liability included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets- During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $9.2 million due to a vacated leased corporate office, $1.0 million due to an underperforming Canada Retail segment store, and $0.6 million due to an underperforming U.S. Retail segment store. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $0.6 million primarily related to weather damage to a corporate office.

Impairment of Equity Investment- During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of our ownership interest in Le Tigre of $7.0 million, resulting in no remaining value due to the inability of Le Tigre to generate earnings with expected future losses.

Income Taxes- For the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, our effective tax rate was a negative 20.2% and a positive 46.8%, respectively, and for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, our effective tax rate was a negative 7.9% and a positive 31.8%, respectively. The negative effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 was due to discrete tax benefits recognized, primarily related to the release of tax reserves no longer deemed necessary and state tax planning initiatives, which partially offset the tax calculated on income before income taxes at statutory rates. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended November 2, 2024 is the result of the change from a positive tax rate through the six months ended August 3, 2024 to a negative rate through the nine months ended November 2, 2024. The positive effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2023 was higher than statutory rates due to the impact of permanent non-deductible compensation partially offset by federal and state valuation allowance adjustments.

Fair Value- Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows:

•    Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•    Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

•    Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of borrowings under our ABL Revolver and our Term Loan approximated fair value based on the terms and variable interest rates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements- In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements including, among other things, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented beginning with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent interim periods.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosures for specific cost and expense categories such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, as well as other disclosures. ASU 2024-03 is effective either on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented or on a prospective basis beginning with our 2027 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent interim periods.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and ASU 2024-03 to the notes of the consolidated financial statements.

On February 4, 2023, we acquired the Keds business ("Keds"), including the Keds brand, inventory, and inventory-related accounts payable, from Wolverine World Wide, Inc. ("Seller"). The cash consideration was funded with available cash and borrowings on the ABL Revolver. The final purchase price and the allocation of the total consideration to the fair values of the assets and liabilities was finalized as of February 3, 2024, and consisted of the following:

The purchase price was subject to adjustments primarily based upon estimated contingent considerations as provided by the purchase agreement, which were based on recognized sales and incurred marketing costs for certain identified aged inventories. We recorded an estimated amount due from Seller at fair value based on our estimated probability of the conditions being met requiring payment. Changes to the estimated amount due from Seller after we have finalized the purchase price were recorded to earnings and were immaterial.

The fair value of inventories, which were made up of finished goods, was determined based on market assumptions for realizing a reasonable profit after selling costs. The fair value of the intangible assets relates to $46.9 million of an indefinite-lived tradename and $6.6 million of customer relationships, amortized over a useful life of 10 years, and were based on the excess earnings method under the income approach with the relief from royalty method for the tradename. The fair value measurements were based on significant unobservable inputs, including discounted future cash flows, market-based assumed royalty rates, and customer attrition rates. The goodwill, included within the Brand Portfolio segment, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and was primarily attributable to acquiring an established design and sourcing process for casual footwear, including kids' footwear, with international distribution. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

On April 8, 2024, we acquired Rubino for $16.1 million in cash, which was funded with available cash and borrowings on the ABL Revolver. The purchase price also included a contingent consideration with a maximum potential payment of $1.5 million, subject to Rubino's achievement of a defined average annual financial performance target for the 24-month period following the acquisition. Based on Rubino's projected performance, we have estimated at fair value no contingent consideration to be recorded. The final purchase price and the allocation of the total consideration to the fair values of the assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

The fair value of the intangible asset relates to an indefinite-lived tradename and was estimated using the relief from royalty method of the income approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, including discounted future cash flows and an assumed royalty rate. The fair value of the operating lease assets was determined based on the market valuation approach. The goodwill, included within the Canada Retail segment, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and was primarily attributable to acquiring an established retail banner in a province in Canada we did not previously have a presence in. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of operations for Rubino for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 were not material and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the Canada Retail segment. Supplemental pro forma results of operations reflecting the acquisition are not presented as the impact on our consolidated financial results would not have been material.

Net Sales by Brand Categories- The following table presents net sales disaggregated by brand categories for each segment:

(1)    "Owned Brands" refers to those brands that we have rights to sell through ownership or license arrangements.

(2)    Beginning with the 2023 Form 10-K, we are providing a breakout of Canada Retail segment net sales by brand categories and we have recast the three months and the nine months ended October 28, 2023 on a consistent basis.

We have transactions with entities owned or controlled by Jay L. Schottenstein, the executive chairman of our Board, and members of his family (the "Schottenstein Affiliates"). As of November 2, 2024, the Schottenstein Affiliates beneficially owned approximately 31% of the Company's outstanding common shares, representing approximately 67% of the combined voting power of the Company, consisting of, in the aggregate, 7.0 million Class A common shares and 7.7 million Class B common shares. The following summarizes the related party transactions with the Schottenstein Affiliates for the relevant periods:

Leases- We lease certain store and office locations that are owned by the Schottenstein Affiliates. For the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we recorded rent expense from the leases with Schottenstein Affiliates of $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we recorded rent expense from the leases with Schottenstein Affiliates of $5.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively. As of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024, and October 28, 2023, we had related party current operating lease liabilities of $4.0 million, $5.6 million, and $4.6 million, respectively, and non-current operating lease liabilities of $17.7 million, $18.5 million, and $17.7 million, respectively.

Other Purchases and Services- For both the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we had other purchases and services we incurred from the Schottenstein Affiliates of $0.8 million.

For the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we recorded royalty expense for amounts paid to ABG-Camuto of $14.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Le Tigre- We have a 33.3% ownership interest in Le Tigre. We are party to a license agreement with Le Tigre, pursuant to which we pay royalties on the net sales of the Le Tigre brand, subject to guaranteed minimums. Activity with Le Tigre was immaterial for all periods presented.

Basic earnings per share is based on net income attributable to Designer Brands Inc. and the weighted average of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common shares adjusted for outstanding stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as used in the calculation of earnings per share attributable to Designer Brands Inc.:

For the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the number of shares relating to potentially dilutive stock-based compensation awards that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 4.0 million and 2.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the number of shares relating to potentially dilutive stock-based compensation awards that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 3.6 million and 3.3 million, respectively.

For the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $15.0 million and $25.2 million, respectively. These costs are included in operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation award share activity for RSUs for the nine months ended November 2, 2024:

Our Class A common shares are listed for trading under the ticker symbol "DBI" on the New York Stock Exchange. There is currently no public market for the Company's Class B common shares, but the Class B common shares can be converted into the Company's Class A common shares at the election of the holder on a share-for-share basis. Holders of Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common shares are entitled to eight votes per share on matters submitted to shareholders for approval.

The following table provides additional information for our common shares:

We have authorized 100 million shares of no par value preferred shares, with no shares issued for any of the periods presented.

On August 17, 2017, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional $500.0 million of Class A common shares under our share repurchase program, which was added to the $33.5 million remaining from the previous authorization. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, we repurchased 10.3 million Class A common shares at an aggregate cost of $68.6 million. As of November 2, 2024, $19.7 million of Class A common shares remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our Class A common shares under the program.
