Total assets grew to $292.8 million from $171.0 million at the start of the fiscal year. Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks increased by 58.1% year-over-year to $302.0 million, turning a prior-year net loss of ($7.0) million into a net income of $13.3 million.

Net sales for the third quarter increased 56.1% YoY to $116.7 million, and for the thirty-nine weeks, they grew 58.1% to $302.0 million. Gross margin for the quarter decreased by 510 basis points to 50.2% due to higher transportation and tariff costs, though this was partially offset by lower promotional discounting. For the thirty-nine-week period, gross margin improved by 200 basis points to 54.2%. The company continues to invest in marketing and infrastructure to support growth, leading to higher operating expenses, but achieved leverage in SG&A as a percentage of sales. Cash used in operations was primarily for inventory investment to support demand and mitigate supply chain risks [Results of Operations - Thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2021 vs. November 1, 2020](index=27&type=section&id=Results%20of%20Operations%20-%20Thirteen%20weeks%20ended%20October%2031%2C%202021%20vs.%20November%201%2C%202020) - Net sales increased by **$42.0 million**, or **56.1%**, to **$116.7 million**, driven by growth across all channels. Showroom sales saw a significant increase of **67.8%** to **$69.7 million**, with comparable sales up **53.3%**. Internet sales grew **38.2%** to **$35.5 million**[103](index=103&type=chunk) - Gross margin decreased by **510 basis points** to **50.2%** from **55.3%**. This was primarily driven by a **748 basis point** increase in distribution and tariff expenses, partially offset by a **238 basis point** improvement in product margin from lower promotional discounting[104](index=104&type=chunk) - Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by **$12.2 million** (**46.8%**) to **$38.1 million**, mainly due to higher employment costs (**+$6.4 million**), rent (**+$2.7 million**), and infrastructure investments (**+$1.3 million**). However, as a percentage of net sales, SG&A improved, decreasing from **34.7%** to **32.6%**[105](index=105&type=chunk)[106](index=106&type=chunk) - Advertising and marketing expenses increased by **$4.8 million** (**44.3%**) to **$15.8 million** to support sales growth.

This was driven by a **150.0%** increase in showroom sales to **$181.3 million**, which more than offset an **11.4%** decrease in internet sales. The shift reflects customers returning to in-store shopping post-COVID-19 restrictions[111](index=111&type=chunk) - Gross margin increased by **200 basis points** to **54.2%** from **52.2%**. The improvement was driven by a **367 basis point** increase from lower promotional discounts and favorable vendor negotiations, which offset a **167 basis point** negative impact from higher distribution and tariff expenses, particularly escalating inbound container costs[112](index=112&type=chunk) - SG&A expenses increased by **$29.0 million** (**38.6%**) to **$104.2 million**, driven by higher employment costs (**+$16.3 million**), rent (**+$6.6 million**), and infrastructure investments. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A showed significant leverage, decreasing from **39.3%** to **34.5%**[114](index=114&type=chunk)[115](index=115&type=chunk) - Advertising and marketing expenses increased by **$13.2 million** (**50.2%**) to **$39.5 million**, reflecting the reinstatement of marketing spend as showrooms fully reopened. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses slightly decreased from **13.8%** to **13.1%**[116](index=116&type=chunk) [Liquidity and Capital Resources](index=31&type=section&id=Liquidity%20and%20Capital%20Resources) - The company's primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and its revolving line of credit. Primary cash needs include advertising, inventory, payroll, rent, and capital expenditures for showrooms and infrastructure[120](index=120&type=chunk) Cash Flow Summary (in thousands) | Activity | Thirty-nine weeks ended Oct 31, 2021 (in thousands) | Thirty-nine weeks ended Nov 1, 2020 (in thousands) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities | $(15,179) | $6,929 | | Net Cash Used in Investing Activities | $(11,841) | $(7,168) | | Net Cash Used in Financing Activities | $(3,459) | $(614) | | **Net change in cash and cash equivalents** | **$(30,479)** | **$(853)** | - Net cash used in operating activities was **$15.2 million**, primarily due to a **$44.1 million** increase in inventory, which was a strategic investment to support sales growth and mitigate supply chain disruptions[123](index=123&type=chunk) - The company has a **$25.0 million** revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. As of October 31, 2021, borrowing availability was **$22.5 million**, with no outstanding borrowings[129](index=129&type=chunk) [Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk](index=32&type=section&id=Item%203.%20Quantitative%20and%20Qualitative%20Disclosures%20about%20Market%20Risk) The company's primary market risk exposure is to interest rate fluctuations related to its revolving credit facility, which is tied to LIBOR. Management does not believe this risk is material and does not currently use interest rate hedging instruments. The company is also aware of the upcoming transition away from LIBOR and will pursue alternative interest rate calculations as needed - The company's main market risk is interest rate risk from its borrowing activities under the line of credit with Wells Fargo, which may bear interest at a rate tied to LIBOR[135](index=135&type=chunk) - The company acknowledges the planned discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021 and notes that its credit agreement includes provisions for alternative interest rate calculations, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)[136](index=136&type=chunk) [Controls and Procedures](index=33&type=section&id=Item%204.%20Controls%20and%20Procedures) Based on an evaluation conducted by management, including the CEO and CFO, the company's disclosure controls and procedures were deemed effective as of October 31, 2021.
