FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "will," "should," "can have," "likely" and other words and terms of similar meaning (including their negative counterparts or other various or comparable terminology) in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, including:
successfully manage risks relating to the spread of COVID-19, including any adverse impacts on our supply chain, workforce, facilities, customer services and operations;
changes in consumer spending and general economic conditions;
inflationary pressures with respect to labor and raw materials and global supply chain constraints that could increase our expenses;
our ability to identify and respond to new and changing product trends, customer preferences and other related factors;
our dependence on a strong brand image;
damage to our reputation arising from our use of social media, email and text messages;
increased competition from other brands and retailers;
our reliance on third parties to drive traffic to our website;
the success of the shopping centers in which our stores are located;
our ability to adapt to consumer shopping preferences and develop and maintain a relevant and reliable omni-channel experience for our customers;
our dependence upon independent third parties for the manufacture of all of our merchandise;
availability constraints and price volatility in the raw materials used to manufacture our products;
interruptions of the flow of our merchandise from international manufacturers causing disruptions in our supply chain;
our sourcing a significant amount of our products from China;
shortages of inventory, delayed shipments to our e-Commerce customers and harm to our reputation due to difficulties or shut-down of our distribution facilities (including as a result of COVID-19);
our reliance upon independent third-party transportation providers for substantially all of our product shipments;
our growth strategy;
our leasing substantial amounts of space;
our failure to attract and retain employees that reflect our brand image, embody our culture and possess the appropriate skill set;
our reliance on third-parties for the provision of certain services, including distribution and real estate management;
our dependence upon key executive management;
our reliance on information systems;
system security risk issues that could disrupt our internal operations or information technology services;
unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information, whether through a breach of our computer system or otherwise;
our failure to comply with federal and state laws and regulations and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, advertising and consumer protection;
3


payment-related risks that could increase our operating costs or subject us to potential liability;
claims made against us resulting in litigation;
changes in laws and regulations applicable to our business;
regulatory actions or recalls arising from issues with product safety;
our inability to protect our trademarks or other intellectual property rights;
our substantial indebtedness and lease obligations;
restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on our current and future operations;
changes in tax laws or regulations or in our operations that may impact our effective tax rate;
the possibility that we may recognize impairments on long-lived assets;
our failure to maintain adequate internal controls; and
the threat of war, terrorism or other catastrophes that could negatively impact our business, including as a result of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The outcome of the events described in any of our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2022 and in our other filings with the SEC and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 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://investors.torrid.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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1.  i Basis of Presentation and Description of the Business
Corporate Structure
Torrid Holdings Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on October 29, 2019 and capitalized on February 20, 2020. Sycamore Partners Management, L.P. ("Sycamore") owns a majority of the voting power of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s outstanding common stock. Prior to the IPO (as defined below), Torrid Holdings Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Holding LLC, which is majority-owned by investment funds managed by Sycamore. Torrid Parent Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on June 4, 2019 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Holdings Inc. Torrid Intermediate LLC, formerly known as Torrid Inc., is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 18, 2019 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Parent Inc. Torrid LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrid Intermediate LLC. Substantially all of Torrid Holdings Inc.'s financial position, operations and cash flows are generated through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Torrid LLC.
Throughout these financial statements, the terms "Torrid," "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and similar references refer to Torrid Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Reorganization
On July 1, 2021, Torrid Holding LLC, our then parent, completed a reorganization pursuant to which (i) Torrid Holding LLC contributed, assigned, transferred and delivered its issued and outstanding equity interest in Torrid Parent Inc. to Torrid, and (ii) Torrid assumed the obligations of Torrid Holding LLC under the related party promissory notes due to Torrid Parent Inc. (together, the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control in accordance with subsections of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-50, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-50"). Consequently, the equity interests of Torrid Parent Inc. contributed by Torrid Holding LLC to Torrid were recorded at historical carrying amounts and our financial position, results of operations and cash flows prior to the Reorganization have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control.
Stock Split
On June 22, 2021, Torrid's stockholder approved an amendment to Torrid's certificate of incorporation to (i) effect a  i 110,000-for-1 stock split of all shares of the issued and outstanding common stock, which was effected on June 22, 2021 and (ii) authorize  i 5.0 million shares of preferred stock. All share and per-share data in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split.
Initial Public Offering
Our registration statement on Form S-1 related to our initial public offering ("IPO") was declared effective on June 30, 2021, and our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 1, 2021. On July 6, 2021, subsequent to the Reorganization, we completed the IPO and certain of our shareholders sold  i 12,650,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $ i 21.00 per share, including  i 1,650,000 shares of common stock after full exercise of the underwriters' option, for net proceeds of $ i 248.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $ i 17.3 million. The offering costs of approximately $ i 6.0 million were borne by us. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.
 i Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and each fiscal year is generally comprised of four 13-week quarters (although in years with 53 weeks, the fourth quarter is comprised of 14 weeks). Fiscal years 2022 and 2021 are 52-week years. Fiscal years are identified according to the calendar year in which they begin. For example, references to "fiscal year 2022" or similar references refer to the fiscal year ending January 28, 2023. References to the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 and to the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, refer to the 13- and 26-week periods then ended.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 i The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim periods, the fiscal year ending January 28, 2023, or for any future year.
 i The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at January 29, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Torrid and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Description of Business
We are a direct-to-consumer brand of apparel, intimates and accessories targeting the 25- to 40-year-old woman who is curvy and wears sizes 10 to 30. We generate revenues primarily through our e-Commerce platform www.torrid.com and our stores in the United States of America, Puerto Rico and Canada.
COVID-19
Our business operations, including net sales, were substantially affected by COVID-19 in fiscal year 2020. While our business operations improved during fiscal year 2021, there is uncertainty regarding the extent of future impacts of COVID-19 on our business, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand. A resurgence in the pandemic or the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus could have a negative impact on our business including, but not limited to, new closure requirements with respect to some or all of our physical locations, changes in consumer behavior, difficulties attracting and retaining employees and supply chain disruptions.
During the fiscal years 2022 and 2021, global supply chain disruption caused significant product delays resulting in limited product availability to our customers. Increased port congestion, COVID-19-related factory closures, most notably in the Asia-Pacific region where we source a significant amount of product, and increased shipping costs impacted our results of operations for the six-months ended July 30, 2022.
Segment Reporting
 i We have determined that we have  i one reportable segment, which includes the operation of our e-Commerce platform and stores. The single segment was identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources. /  Revenues and long-lived assets related to our operations in Canada and Puerto Rico during the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, and as of the end of the same periods, were not material, and therefore are not reported separately from domestic revenues and long-lived assets.
 i Store Pre-Opening Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the opening of new stores, store remodels or relocations are expensed as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We incurred $ i 0.3 million and $ i 0.5 million of pre-opening costs during the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, respectively. The amounts incurred during the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021 were  i  i not /  material.
Note 2.  i Accounting Standards
 i 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards during the Six-Month Period Ended July 30, 2022
We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the six-month period ended July 30, 2022.
10


Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that are applicable to us, based on current information.
Note 3.  i  i Inventory / 
Our inventory is comprised solely of finished goods and is valued at the lower of moving average cost or net realizable value. We make certain assumptions regarding net realizable value in order to assess whether our inventory is recorded properly at the lower of cost or net realizable value. These assumptions are based on historical average selling price experience, current selling price information and estimated future selling price information. Physical inventory counts are conducted at least once during the year to determine actual inventory on hand and shrinkage. We accrue our estimated inventory shrinkage for the period between the last physical count and current balance sheet date.

Note 6.  i Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements that are Service Contracts
Our cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts primarily consist of arrangements with third party vendors for our internal use of their software applications that they host. We defer implementation costs incurred in relation to such arrangements, including costs for software application coding, configuration, integration and customization, while associated process reengineering, training, maintenance and data conversion costs are expensed. Subsequent implementation costs are deferred only to the extent that they constitute major enhancements. The short-term portion of deferred implementation costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while the long-term portion of deferred costs are included in deposits and other noncurrent assets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued interpretive guidance in April 2020, which provides entities the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and
12


obligations existed in the original lease terms. We elected this option; accordingly, we did not remeasure the lease liabilities or record a change to the right-of-use ("ROU") assets for any concessions we received for our retail store leases. Rather, deferred lease payments were recorded to operating lease liabilities until paid and lease concessions were recorded in the period they were negotiated or when the lower lease expense was paid.
As of the end of fiscal year 2021, we had received substantially all of the lease concessions negotiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result, deferred fixed lease payments during the three- and six-months ended July 30, 2022 were  i  i not /  material. We did  i  i not /  record any reduction to lease costs during the three- and six-months ended July 30, 2022. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021 we recorded reductions to lease costs of $ i 0.7 million and $ i 1.0 million, respectively, as a result of negotiated lease concessions.

Note 9.  i Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract or an implied arrangement with a customer are satisfied, which is when the merchandise is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of it. The amount of revenue we recognize reflects the total consideration we expect to receive for the merchandise, which is the transaction price.

Note 10. Loyalty Program
We operate our loyalty program, Torrid Rewards, in all our stores and on www.torrid.com. Under this program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity and qualifying non-purchase activity. Upon reaching a certain point level, customers can earn awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. Unredeemed points typically expire after  i 13 months without additional purchase and qualifying non-purchase activity and unredeemed awards typically expire  i 45 days after issuance. We use historical redemption rates to estimate the value of future award redemptions and we recognize the estimated value of these future awards as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and
13


comprehensive income in the period the points are earned by the customer. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and as of the end of fiscal year 2021, we had $ i 13.6 million and $ i 13.5 million, respectively, in deferred revenue related to our loyalty program included in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, the amount recorded as a reduction of net sales was  i not material, and during the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, we recorded $ i 0.1 million as a reduction of net sales. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, we recorded $ i 0.3 million and $ i 1.3 million, respectively, as a reduction of net sales. Actual results may differ from our estimates, resulting in changes to net sales.

Services Agreements with Hot Topic
Hot Topic Inc. ("Hot Topic") is an entity indirectly controlled by affiliates of Sycamore. From June 2, 2017 until its termination on March 21, 2019, we had a services agreement ("Third Party Services Agreement") with Hot Topic, pursuant to which Hot Topic provided us (or caused applicable third parties to provide) certain services, including information technology, distribution and logistics management, real estate leasing and construction management and other services as may have been specified. On March 21, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated services agreement ("Amended and Restated Services Agreement") with Hot Topic under which Hot Topic provides us (or causes applicable third parties to provide) substantially similar services to those provided under the Third Party Services Agreement. The term of the Amended and Restated Services Agreement is  i three years, unless we or Hot Topic extend the agreement, or we terminate the agreement (or certain services under the agreement). We may terminate the various services upon written notice. Rates and costs related to the services provided under the Amended and Restated Services Agreement may change with approval from both parties. Each month, we are committed to pay Hot Topic for these services and reimburse Hot Topic for certain costs it incurs in the course of providing these services. We record payments made to Hot Topic under these service agreements in the applicable expense category in either cost of goods sold, or selling, general and administrative expenses. On August 1, 2019, in connection with the IT Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below), we entered into a services agreement ("Reverse Services Agreement") with Hot Topic, under which Torrid provided Hot Topic with certain information technology services. The term of the Reverse Services Agreement was  i three years, unless we or Hot Topic extended the agreement, or Hot Topic terminated the agreement. Torrid provided Hot Topic with the specified information technology services at no cost for the first three years of the Reverse Services Agreement, however Hot Topic bore certain capital and operating expenses that it incurred. Costs incurred in connection with providing the specified information technology services to Hot Topic were expensed as incurred in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we incurred costs of $ i 0.7 million and $ i 1.6 million, respectively, in connection with providing these information technology services to Hot Topic. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, we incurred costs of $ i 0.8 million and $ i 1.7 million, respectively, in connection with providing these information technology services to Hot Topic. In connection with the Reverse Services Agreement, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Services Agreement ("Amendment to Amended and Restated Services Agreement") with Hot Topic on August 1, 2019, pursuant to which sections pertaining to Hot Topic's provision of information technology services to Torrid were removed. On July 31, 2022, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we entered into a first amendment to the Reverse Services Agreement (“Amended Reverse Services Agreement”) with Hot Topic, under which Torrid provides Hot Topic with certain information technology services for a fixed fee. The term of the Amended Reverse Services Agreement is  i two months while both parties negotiate a longer-term amendment to the Reverse Services Agreement with modified terms and conditions.
During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, Hot Topic charged us $ i 0.6 million and $ i 1.2 million, respectively, for various services under the applicable services agreements, all of which were recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Funds obtained from the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined in "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements") were used to make the purchase. We accounted for the purchase in accordance with subsections of ASC 805-50, related to transactions between entities under common control. Consequently, we recorded the information technology assets we purchased from Hot Topic at their historical carrying amounts totaling $ i 3.5 million and recognized the difference between the historical carrying amounts and the purchase price in equity. In addition, certain information technology-related obligations and personnel, along with associated assets of $ i 1.4 million and liabilities of $ i 0.1 million, were transferred from Hot Topic to Torrid.

On June 14, 2019, we entered into a term loan credit agreement ("Term Loan Credit Agreement") with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as agent, KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, as structuring advisor, and the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"). On September 17, 2020, we entered into an amended term loan credit agreement ("Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement") with the Lenders, pursuant to which the definition of total debt used in the calculation of the maximum ratio of our total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement) was amended. All other material terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement remained substantially the same. In September 2020, in conjunction with the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement, we prepaid $ i 35.0 million of the outstanding Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement Principal (as defined below), associated accrued interest of $ i 0.2 million and an amendment fee of $ i 0.5 million.

Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2015, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility ("Original ABL Facility") of $ i 50.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), with Bank of America, N.A. On October 23, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ("Existing ABL Facility"), which amended our Original ABL Facility. The Existing ABL Facility increased the aggregate commitments available under the Original ABL Facility from $ i 50.0 million to $ i 100.0 million (subject to a borrowing base); and increased our right to request additional commitments from up to $ i 30.0 million to up to $ i 30.0 million plus the aggregate principal amount of any permanent principal reductions we may take (subject to customary conditions precedent). On June 14, 2019, in conjunction with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, we entered into an amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "1st Amendment"). The 1st Amendment decreased the aggregate commitments available under the Existing ABL Facility from $ i 100.0 million to $ i 70.0 million (subject to a borrowing base), permitted indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and made certain other modifications. On September 4, 2019, we entered into another amendment to the Existing ABL Facility (the "2nd Amendment"). The 2nd Amendment permitted parent company financial statements to be used to satisfy reporting requirements and made certain other modifications.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we were compliant with our debt covenants under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended.
17


As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the maximum restricted payment utilizing the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, that our subsidiaries could make from its net assets was $ i 128.0 million.
We consider the carrying amounts of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, to approximate fair value because of the variable interest rate of this facility, a Level 2 measurement (as defined in "Note 19—Fair Value Measurements").
Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $ i 138.5 million, which reflects borrowings of $ i 6.0 million. Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, at the end of fiscal year 2021 was $ i 123.9 million, which reflects no borrowings. Standby letters of credit issued and outstanding were $ i 5.5 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and $ i 5.3 million as of the end of fiscal year 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we incurred $ i 0.5 million of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, which were reduced in fiscal year 2019 by $ i 0.1 million written off to account for the impact of our entry into the 1st Amendment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we incurred an additional $ i 0.7 million of financing costs in connection with our entry into the 3rd Amendment. These financing costs, together with the unamortized financing costs of $ i 0.1 million associated with the Original ABL Facility, are amortized over the  i five-year term of the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets and deposits and other noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was  i not material, and during the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was $ i 0.1 million. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, amortization of financing costs for the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, was  i  i not /  material. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, interest payments were $ i 0.5 million and $ i 0.8 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, interest payments were $ i 0.1 million and $ i 0.2 million, respectively. We recognize amortization of financing costs and interest payments for the revolving credit facilities in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Note 13.  i Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes were $ i 10.0 million and $ i 19.3 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, the benefit from income taxes were $ i 91.5 million and $ i 83.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, were  i 30.5% and  i 29.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, were  i 173.5% and  i 262.7%, respectively. The unconventional effective tax rates during the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, were primarily due to the increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation, relative to income (loss) before provision for income taxes for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021. The increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation during the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, were driven by the $ i 111.4 million remeasurement adjustment related to the increase in the value of the incentive units as indicated by the Torrid Holding LLC equity value as of June 30, 2021, following the pricing of our IPO.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law, and has resulted in significant changes to the U.S. federal corporate tax law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. Additionally, several state and foreign jurisdictions have enacted additional legislation to comply with federal changes. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act ("CAA") was enacted in further response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CAA, among other things, revised certain tax measures enacted under the CARES Act, such as the deductibility of payroll tax credits, charitable contributions for corporate taxpayers, certain meals and entertainment expenses paid or incurred in calendar years 2022 and 2021, and employment retention credit claims. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") was signed into law with additional funding for COVID-19 pandemic relief. The ARPA includes the expansion of employment retention credit claims and other pandemic funding provisions. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IR Act") was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. Among other things, the IR Act introduces a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the financial statement income of corporations or their predecessors with a three-year taxable year average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion and imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. The IR Act also includes provisions intended to mitigate climate change by, among others, providing tax credit incentives for

reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We have considered the applicable CARES Act, CAA, ARPA and IR Act tax law changes in our tax provision for the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, and continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $ i 4.0 million ($ i 3.5 million, net of federal benefit). As of the end of fiscal year 2021, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $ i 4.0 million ($ i 3.5 million, net of federal benefit). Our effective tax rate will be affected by any portion of this liability we may recognize.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that $ i 0.3 million ($ i 0.3 million net of federal benefit) of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, of which the associated interest and penalties are not material, may be recognized in the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations.
IT Asset Purchase Agreement with Hot Topic
In connection with the IT Asset Purchase Agreement, we generated a tax amortizable basis of the $ i 29.5 million purchase price, amortizable over  i three years commencing in fiscal year 2019. We recorded the $ i 26.0 million variance between the $ i 3.5 million net book value and $ i 29.5 million tax amortizable basis of the information technology assets in equity, net of $ i 6.7 million deferred tax.

On June 22, 2021, in connection with our IPO, the board of directors ("Board") adopted the Torrid Holdings Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2021 LTIP"), for employees, consultants and directors. The 2021 LTIP provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") including performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), stock awards, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, cash awards and substitute awards intended to align the interests of service providers, with those of our shareholders. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022,  i 10,687,500 shares were authorized for issuance under the 2021 LTIP.
On June 22, 2021, in connection with our IPO, the Board adopted the Torrid Holdings Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), intended to qualify under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in order to provide all of our eligible employees with a further incentive towards ensuring our success and accomplishing our corporate goals. The ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute up to  i 15% of their base earnings towards purchases of common stock, subject to an annual maximum. The purchase price is  i 85% of the lower of (i) the fair market value of the stock on the date of enrollment and (ii) the fair market value of the stock on the last day of the related purchase period.
19


Incentive Units
Prior to the IPO, Torrid Holding LLC issued  i 13,660,000 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class J Torrid incentive units, in the aggregate, net of forfeitures, to certain members of our management.
We recognized the impact of share-based compensation associated with incentive units issued by Torrid Holding LLC in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The share-based compensation expense and related capital contribution are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as these awards were deemed to be for our benefit. The intent of the incentive units was to provide profit-sharing opportunities to management rather than equity ownership in our then parent, Torrid Holding LLC. The incentive units did not have any voting or distribution rights and contained a repurchase feature, whereby upon termination, Torrid Holding LLC had the right to purchase from former employees any or all of the vested incentive units at fair value. In addition, although the fair value of the incentive units was determined through an option pricing methodology that utilized the possible equity values of Torrid Holding LLC, the settlement amounts and method of settlement of the incentive units were at the discretion of the Board. Based on these aforementioned features and characteristics, we determined that the incentive units were in-substance liabilities accounted for as liability instruments in accordance with ASC 710, Compensation. The incentive units were remeasured based on the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period. We recorded the expense associated with changes in the fair value of these incentive units as a capital contribution from our former parent, Torrid Holding LLC, as our former parent is the legal obligor for the incentive units.
The incentive units were valued utilizing a contingent claims analysis ("CCA") methodology based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model ("OPM"). Under the OPM, each class of incentive units was modeled as a call option with a unique claim on the assets of Torrid Holding LLC. The characteristics of each class of incentive units determined the uniqueness of the claim on the assets of Torrid Holding LLC. The OPM used to value the incentive units incorporated various assumptions, including the time to liquidity event, equity volatility and risk-free interest rate of return. Equity volatility was based on the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies for the time horizon equal to the time to the anticipated liquidity event; and the risk-free interest rate was for a term corresponding to the time to liquidity event. The assumptions underlying the valuation of the incentive units represented our best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgement. The most recent remeasurement of the fair value of the incentive units utilizing the CCA methodology was performed as of May 1, 2021.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we recorded a share-based compensation expense remeasurement adjustment of $ i 111.4 million related to the increase in the value of the incentive units as indicated by the Torrid Holding LLC equity value as of June 30, 2021, following the pricing of our IPO. The vested portion of the incentive units was exchanged for  i 13,353,122 shares of our common stock of an equivalent fair value as the vested incentive units and the unvested portion was cancelled. As such, the fair value of these incentive units is no longer recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $ i 111.4 million and $ i 151.2 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the Torrid Holding LLC equity value.
RSUs
RSUs are awarded to certain employees, non-employee directors and consultants and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of a vesting period, subject to the employee's continued employment or service as a director or consultant. In general, RSUs vest in equal installments each year over  i 4 years.
Pursuant to the agreements we entered into with certain members of our management, upon completion of the IPO, such employees received one-time grants of RSUs ("IPO Awards") in an aggregate amount equal to $ i 5.7 million.  i 50% of the IPO Awards were fully vested on the date of grant, and the remaining  i 50% vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of our IPO. These members of our management must remain employed by us through each vesting date in order to vest in the applicable portions of their IPO Awards. Consequently, we recognized $ i 2.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to these IPO Awards upon the consummation of our IPO with the remainder recognized over the  i three-year vesting period.
PSUs are awarded to certain employees, non-employee directors and consultants and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock based on the achievement of various company performance targets and market conditions. In general, PSUs vest in equal installments over a  i three year period subject to the achievement of the performance targets or market conditions.

Note 15.  i Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, we are involved in matters of litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Though significant litigation or awards against us could seriously harm our business and financial results, we do not at this time expect any of our pending matters of litigation to have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition.
Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees
During the ordinary course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to our board of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted. Commitments include those given to various merchandise vendors and suppliers. From time to time, we have issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit as security for workers' compensation claims (our letters of credit are discussed in more detail in "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements"). The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 16.  i Stockholders' Deficit
Torrid was formed on October 29, 2019 and capitalized on February 20, 2020. Torrid is authorized to issue  i  i 1.0 /  billion shares of common stock at $ i  i 0.01 /  par value, and  i 5.0 million shares of preferred stock at $ i 0.01 par value. Torrid had  i  i 103,601,333 /  shares of common stock and  i  i no /  shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of July 30, 2022. Historical periods prior to the formation of Torrid have been revised to reflect our current capital structure.
On June 22, 2021, Torrid's stockholder approved an amendment to Torrid's certificate of incorporation to (i) effect a  i 110,000-for-1 stock split of all shares of the issued and outstanding common stock, which was effected on June 22, 2021 and (ii) authorize  i 5.0 million shares of preferred stock. All share and per-share data in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split.
Note 17.  i Share Repurchases
On December 6, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $ i 100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, as determined by us. We may purchase shares of our common stock in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The authorization does not, however, obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. As of July 30, 2022, we had approximately $ i 44.9 million remaining under the repurchase program.

We have elected to retire shares repurchased to date. Shares retired become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares. We have elected to record the purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value, including transaction costs, directly as an increase in accumulated deficit.
Note 18.  i Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is applicable only in periods of net income and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, inclusive of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Periods of net loss require the diluted computation to be the same as the basic computation. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately  i  i 0.1 /  million potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the three-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately  i 0.9 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and approximately  i 0.7 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the six-month period ended July 30, 2022, there were approximately  i 0.7 million restricted stock awards and RSUs, including PSUs, and  i 0.6 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive or were PSUs with performance conditions that had not yet been achieved. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, there were  i  i no /  potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, there were approximately  i 0.3 million restricted stock awards and RSUs and approximately  i 0.1 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive. During the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, there were approximately  i 0.1 million restricted stock awards and RSUs and approximately  i 0.1 million stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as those awards would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 19.  i Fair Value Measurements
We carry certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value require us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, including interest rates and yield curves, and market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These are valued based on our estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of our money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets. The deferred compensation plan liability represents the amount that would be earned by participants if the funds were invested in securities traded in active

markets. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is determined based on quoted prices of similar assets that are traded in observable markets, or represents the cash withheld by participants prior to any investment activity.
Note 20.  i Private Label Credit Card
We have an agreement with a third party, which is amended from time to time, to provide customers with private label credit cards ("Credit Card Agreement"). Each private label credit card bears the logo of the Torrid brand and can only be used at our store locations and on www.torrid.com. A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the accounts issued under the private label credit card program and absorbs the losses associated with non-payment by the private label card holders and a portion of any fraudulent usage of the accounts. Pursuant to the Credit Card Agreement, we receive marketing and promotional funds from the third-party financing company based on usage of the private label credit cards. These marketing and promotional funds are recorded as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, these funds amounted to $ i 12.6 million and $ i 17.4 million, respectively, related to these private label credit cards. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, these funds amounted to $ i 4.6 million and $ i 9.3 million, respectively.
Note 21.  i Deferred Compensation Plan
On August 1, 2015, we established the Torrid LLC Management Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan") for the purpose of providing highly compensated employees a program to meet their financial planning needs. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides participants with the opportunity to defer up to  i 80% of their base salary and up to  i 100% of their annual earned bonus, all of which, together with the associated investment returns, are  i 100% vested from the outset. The Deferred Compensation Plan is designed to be exempt from most provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended. All deferrals and associated earnings are our general unsecured obligations. We may at our discretion contribute certain amounts to eligible employees' accounts. To the extent participants are ineligible to receive contributions from participation in our 401(k) Plan (as defined in "Note 22—Employee Benefit Plan"), we may contribute  i 50% of the first  i 4% of participants' eligible contributions into their Deferred Compensation Plan accounts. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and as of the end of fiscal year 2021, we did  i  i no / t have any assets of the Deferred Compensation Plan and the associated liabilities were $ i 6.7 million and $ i 7.2 million, respectively, included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, $ i 0.9 million of the $ i 6.7 million Deferred Compensation Plan liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of the end of fiscal year 2021, $ i 0.4 million of the $ i 7.2 million Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities were included in accrued and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 22.  i Employee Benefit Plan
On August 1, 2015, we adopted the Torrid 401(k) Plan ("401(k) Plan"). All employees who have been employed by us for at least  i 200 hours and are at least  i 21 years of age are eligible to participate. Employees may contribute up to  i 80% of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to a statutorily prescribed annual limit. We may at our discretion contribute certain amounts to eligible employees' accounts. We may contribute  i 50% of the first  i 4% of participants' eligible contributions into their 401(k) Plan accounts. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 30, 2022, we contributed $ i 0.2 million and $ i 0.4 million, respectively, to eligible employees' 401(k) Plan accounts. During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, we contributed $ i 0.2 million and $ i 0.3 million, respectively, to eligible employees' 401(k) Plan accounts.

(A)Please refer to "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
Comparable Sales. We define comparable sales for any given period as the sales of our e-Commerce operations and stores that we have included in our comparable sales base during that period. We include a store in our comparable sales base after it has been open for 15 full fiscal months. If a store is closed during a fiscal year, it is only included in the computation of comparable sales for the full fiscal months in which it was open. The computation of comparable sales includes results from stores that were temporarily closed due to COVID-19. Partial fiscal months are excluded from the computation of comparable sales. Comparable sales allow us to evaluate how our unified commerce business is performing exclusive of the effects of new store openings. We apply current year foreign currency exchange rates to both current year and prior year comparable sales to remove the impact of foreign currency fluctuation and achieve a consistent basis for comparison.
Number of Stores. Store count reflects all stores open at the end of a reporting period. In connection with opening new stores, we incur pre-opening costs, which primarily consist of payroll, travel, training, marketing, initial opening supplies, costs of transporting initial inventory and fixtures to store locations, and occupancy costs incurred from the time of possession of a store site to the opening of that store. These pre-opening costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense less interest income, net of other expense (income), plus provision for less (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and share-based compensation, non-cash deductions and charges and other expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates
26


operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without any correlation to ongoing operating performance. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting the overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations. Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure in determining business value and, as such, use it internally to report and analyze our results and as a benchmark to determine certain non-equity incentive payments made to executives.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. This measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to or substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Among other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect:
 
interest expense;
interest income, net of other expense (income);
provision for income taxes;
depreciation and amortization;
share-based compensation;
non-cash deductions and charges; and
other expenses.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the section titled "Risk Factors."
Customer Acquisition and Retention. Our success is impacted not only by efficient and profitable customer acquisition, but also by our ability to retain customers and encourage repeat purchases. It is important to maintain reasonable costs for these marketing efforts relative to the net sales and profit we expect to derive from customers. Failure to effectively attract customers on a cost-efficient basis would adversely impact our profitability and operating results. New requirements for consumer disclosures regarding privacy practices, and new application tracking transparency framework that requires opt-in consent for certain types of tracking were implemented by third party providers in 2021 which has increased the difficulty and cost of acquiring and retaining customers. These changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
Customer Migration from Single to Omni-channel. We have a history of converting customers from single-channel customers to omni-channel customers, defined as active customers who shopped both online and in-store within the last twelve months. Customers that shop across multiple channels purchase from us more frequently and spent approximately 3.4 times more per year than our single-channel customer during fiscal year 2021.
Overall Economic Trends. Consumer purchases of clothing generally remain constant or may increase during stable economic periods and decline during recessionary periods, inflationary periods and other periods when disposable income is adversely affected. Consequently, our results of operations during any given period are often impacted by the overall economic conditions in the markets which we operate. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a materially adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment in the United States as well as our results of operations.
Demographic Changes. Our business has experienced growth over recent periods due, in part, to an increase in the plus-size population. Slower or negative growth in this demographic, in particular among women ages 25 to 40, specific to certain geographic markets, income levels or overall, could adversely affect our results of operations.
Growth in Brand Awareness. We intend to continue investing in our brand, with a specific focus on growing brand awareness, customer engagement, and conversion through targeted investments in performance and brand marketing. We have made significant historical investments to strengthen the Torrid brand through our marketing efforts, brand partnerships, events and expansion of our social media presence. If we fail to cost-effectively promote our brand or convert impressions into new customers, our net sales growth and profitability may be adversely affected.
27


Inventory Management. Our strategy is built around a base of core products that provide our customer with year round style. At the same time, we introduce new lines of merchandise approximately 16 times per year, thus providing a consistent flow of fresh merchandise to keep our customer engaged, encourage repeat business and attract new customers. We employ a data-driven approach to design and product development, proactively and quickly incorporating sales and operational performance information alongside customer feedback from thousands of product reviews. We engage in ongoing dialogue with customers through social media and customer surveys. Shifts in inventory levels may result in fluctuations in the amount of regular price sales, markdowns, and merchandise mix, as well as gross margin.
Impact of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused general business disruption worldwide. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain. A resurgence in the pandemic or the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus could have a negative impact on our business including, but not limited to, new closure requirements with respect to some or all of our physical locations, changes in consumer behavior, difficulties attracting and retaining employees and supply chain disruptions.
Investments. We have invested significantly to strengthen our business, including augmenting leadership across our organization and enhancing our infrastructure and technology, and have delivered significant growth as a result. In order to realize such growth, we anticipate that our operating expenses will grow as we continue to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and hire additional personnel primarily in marketing, product design and development, merchandising, technology, operations, customer service and general and administrative functions. We will also continue to selectively expand our store footprint and make investments to improve the customer experience both in-store and online. We believe that such investments will increase the number and loyalty of our customers and, as a result, yield positive financial performance in the long term.
Seasonality. While seasonality frequently impacts businesses in the retail sector, our business is generally not seasonal. Accordingly, our net sales do not fluctuate as significantly as those of other brands and retailers from quarter to quarter and any modest seasonal effect does not significantly change the underlying trends in our business. Additionally, we do not generate an outsized share of our net sales or Adjusted EBITDA during the holiday season. Typically, our Adjusted EBITDA generation is strongest in the first half of the year as we benefit from more favorable merchandise margins, lower advertising and lower shipping expenses relative to the second half of the year. The lack of net sales seasonality provides structural cost advantages relative to peers, including reduced staffing cyclicality and seasonal distribution capacity needs.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Sales. Net sales reflects our revenues from the sale of our merchandise, shipping and handling revenue received from e-Commerce sales and gift card breakage income, less returns, discounts and loyalty points/awards. Revenue from our stores is recognized at the time of sale and revenue from our e-Commerce channel is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise to the home of the customer; except in cases where the merchandise is shipped to a store and revenue is recognized when the customer retrieves the merchandise from the store. Net sales are impacted by the size of our active customer base, product assortment and availability, marketing and promotional activities and the spending habits of our customers. Net sales are also impacted by the migration of single-channel customers (i.e., customers shopping only in-store or online) to omni-channel customers (i.e., customers shopping both in-store and online), who on average spend significantly more than single-channel customers in a given year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is equal to our net sales less cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold includes merchandise costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, payroll expenses associated with the merchandising department, distribution center expenses and store occupancy expenses, including rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes and depreciation. Merchandising payroll costs and store occupancy costs included within cost of goods sold are largely fixed and do not necessarily increase as volume increases. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally use markdowns to clear that merchandise. The timing and level of markdowns are driven primarily by customer acceptance of our merchandise. The primary drivers of our merchandise costs include the raw materials, labor in the countries where we source our merchandise, customs duties, and logistics costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold or marketing expenses. Our historical revenue growth has been accompanied by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. For instance, we continue to make payroll investments to support our growth.
Marketing Expenses. We continue to make investments in marketing in an effort to grow and retain our active customer base and increase our brand awareness. Marketing expenses consist primarily of (i) targeted online performance marketing
28


costs, such as retargeting, paid search/product listing advertising, and social media advertisements, (ii) store and brand marketing, public relations and photographic production designed to acquire, retain and remain connected to customers and (iii) payroll and benefits expenses associated with our marketing team.
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense and other fees associated with our Existing ABL Facility, as amended and New Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes. Our provision for (benefit from) income taxes primarily consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $8.0 million, or 2.4%, to $340.9 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022, from $332.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales transactions, partially offset by a decrease in average sales transaction value relative to the three months ended July 31, 2021, as a result of increased promotional activity. The total number of stores we operate increased by 19 stores, or 3.1%, to 627 stores as of July 30, 2022, from 608 stores as of July 31, 2021.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended July 30, 2022 decreased $30.9 million, or 20.6%, to $118.8 million, from $149.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to higher net sales volumes associated with the increase in sales transactions and an increase in product costs that resulted in a $28.9 million decrease in merchandise margin. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 10.1% to 34.9% for the three months ended July 30, 2022 from 45.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by lower merchandise margin rate driven by increased promotional activity, product costs and e-Commerce shipping costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 30, 2022 decreased $113.1 million, or 63.2%, to $65.9 million, from $179.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $112.8 million decrease in share-based compensation expense and an $8.0 million increase in marketing and promotional funds received from the third-party financing company for our private label credit cards, partially offset by increases in store and e-Commerce payroll costs of $5.4 million. The decrease in share-based compensation expense during the three months ended July 30, 2022, was due to an increase in the Torrid Holding LLC equity value during the three months ended July 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 34.5% to 19.3% for the three months ended July 30, 2022 from 53.8% for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was driven by decreased share-based compensation expense and an increase in marketing and promotional funds received from the third-party financing company for our private label credit cards, partially offset by increases in store and e-Commerce payroll costs.

Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses for the three months ended July 30, 2022 increased $2.8 million, or 25.9%, to $13.5 million, from $10.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased television and creative marketing. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.8% to 4.0% during the three months ended July 30, 2022 from 3.2% during the three months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was driven by increased television and creative marketing.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $6.7 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the write-off of $5.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and OID when we repaid the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the $2.1 million prepayment penalty during the three months ended July 31, 2021.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $10.0 million for the three months ended July 30, 2022, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $91.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021. Our effective tax rate was 30.5% for the three months ended July 30, 2022 and 173.5% for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The unconventional effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily due to the increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation, relative to loss before provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2021. The increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation during the three months ended July 31, 2021 was driven by a $111.4 million remeasurement adjustment related to the increase in the value of the incentive units as indicated by the Torrid Holding LLC equity value as of June 30, 2021, following the pricing of our IPO.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $10.7 million, or 1.6%, to $669.3 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, from $658.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales transactions, partially offset by a decrease in average sales transaction value relative to the six months ended July 31, 2021, as a result of increased promotional activity. The total number of stores we operate increased by 19 stores, or 3.1%, to 627 stores as of July 30, 2022, from 608 stores as of July 31, 2021.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended July 30, 2022, decreased $50.7 million, or 17.2%, to $244.0 million, from $294.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to higher net sales volumes associated with the increase in sales transactions and an increase in product costs that resulted in a $48.1 million decrease in merchandise margin. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 8.3% to 36.5% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, from 44.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by lower merchandise margin rate driven by increased promotional activity, product costs and e-Commerce shipping costs and increased distribution costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 30, 2022, decreased $155.6 million, or 53.8%, to $133.4 million, from $289.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $150.1 million decrease in share-based compensation expense, a $13.4 million decrease in performance bonuses and an $8.1 million increase in marketing and promotional funds received from the third-party financing company for our private label credit cards, partially offset by increases in store and e-Commerce payroll costs of $11.0 million and other store operating costs of $3.3 million. The decrease in share-based compensation expense during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was due to an increase in the Torrid Holding LLC equity value during the six months ended July 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 23.9% to 20.0% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, from 43.9% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This decrease was driven by decreased share-based compensation expense and performance bonuses and an increase in marketing and promotional funds received from the third-party financing company for our private label credit cards, partially offset by increases in store and e-Commerce payroll costs and other store operating costs.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses for the six months ended July 30, 2022, increased $11.2 million, or 55.4%, to $31.5 million, from $20.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased television, digital, store and brand marketing, partially offset by decreased direct mail program spend. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.7% to 4.7% during the six months ended July 30, 2022, from 3.0% during the six months ended July 31, 2021. This increase was driven by increased television, digital and creative marketing, partially offset by decreased direct mail program spend.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $13.0 million for the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to $17.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the write-off of $5.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and OID when we repaid the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the $2.1 million prepayment penalty during the six months ended July 31, 2021.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended July 30, 2022 was $19.3 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $83.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2021. Our effective tax rate was 29.3% for the six months ended July 30, 2022, and 262.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2021. The unconventional effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily due to the increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation, relative to loss before provision for income taxes for six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase in the amount of non-deductible items associated with share-based compensation during the six months ended July 31, 2021 was driven by a $111.4 million remeasurement adjustment related to the increase in the value of the incentive units as indicated by the Torrid Holding LLC equity value as of June 30, 2021, following the pricing of our IPO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our business relies on cash flows from operations as our primary source of liquidity. We do, however, have access to additional liquidity, if needed, through borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended. Availability under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, was $138.5 million, which reflects borrowings of $6.0 million. Our primary cash needs are for merchandise inventories, payroll, rent for our stores, headquarters and distribution center, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, logistics and information technology. We also need cash to make discretionary repurchases of our common stock, and fund our interest and principal payments on the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities. We believe that cash generated from operations and the availability of borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make capital expenditures in the future. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or extend our indebtedness will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Cash Flow Analysis
A summary of operating, investing and financing activities are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):
Six Months Ended
July 30, 2022July 31, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities$44,293 $106,478 
Net cash used in investing activities(11,444)(5,891)
Net cash used in financing activities(38,826)(172,954)
Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, the effect of working capital changes, taxes paid and lease incentives received from landlords.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was $44.3 million compared to $106.5 million during the six months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was primarily as a result of a decrease in share-based compensation expense added back to cash provided by operating activities as a non-cash adjustment and a decrease in accrued and other current liabilities, partially offset by a net increase in cash added back to cash provided by operating activities related to income taxes receivable, prepaid income taxes and income taxes payable. The decrease in accrued and other current liabilities was primarily as a result of decreases in accrued payroll and related expenses and accrued inventory-in-transit. The decrease in share-based compensation expense during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was due to an increase in Torrid Holding LLC's equity value during the six months ended July 31, 2021.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
Typical investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for growth (new store openings, relocations and major remodels), store maintenance (minor store remodels and investments in store fixtures), and infrastructure to support the business related primarily to information technology, our headquarters facility and our West Jefferson, Ohio distribution center.
Net cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was $11.4 million, compared to $5.9 million during the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures related to the opening of new stores and store relocations and investments in our West Jefferson, Ohio distribution center during the six months ended July 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021.

33


Net Cash Used In Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of (i) borrowings and repayments related to our Existing ABL Facility, as amended, (ii) borrowings and repayments related to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement and (iii) repurchases and retirement of our common stock.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended July 30, 2022 was $38.8 million compared to $173.0 million during the six months ended July 31, 2021. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities is primarily as a result of the following activities during the six months ended July 30, 2022: (i) the absence of the $300.0 million capital distribution to Torrid Holding LLC, (ii) the absence of the $212.8 million repayment of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement and related costs and (iii) $6.0 million net borrowing from the Existing ABL Facility, as amended, partially offset by repurchases and retirement of common stock of $31.7 million and the absence of the $340.5 million proceeds received during the six months ended July 31, 2021 from the New Term Loan Credit agreement.
Debt Financing Arrangements
As of July 30, 2022, we had $328.9 million of outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized original issue discount and debt financing costs, consisting of term loans under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of July 30, 2022, we had $6.0 million of borrowings under the Existing ABL Facility, as amended. Please refer to "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements" for further discussion regarding our indebtedness.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our market risk profile as of January 29, 2022, is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and has not materially changed. Please refer to "Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements" for further discussion regarding our indebtedness.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of July 30, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the three months ended July 30, 2022 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. We establish reserves for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On December 6, 2021, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time, depending upon a variety of factors, including share price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market and business conditions, as determined by us. We may purchase shares of our common stock in the open market at current market prices at the time of purchase, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The authorization does not, however, obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. As of July 30, 2022, we had approximately $44.9 million remaining under the repurchase program.

The following is a summary of our repurchases of common shares during the three months ended July 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):
