EXPLANATORY NOTE
As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), there continue to be many uncertainties regarding the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the scope of scientific and health issues, the anticipated duration of the pandemic, and the extent of local and worldwide economic, social, and political disruption it may continue to cause. To date, and as described throughout this Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching adverse impacts on many aspects of the business of Tilly’s, Inc. (the “Company, “we,” “our” or “us”), both directly and indirectly, including on our operations generally, consumer behavior, store traffic, demands on our information technology and e-commerce capabilities, inventory and expense management, production capabilities, timing of deliveries, managing our workforce, our store configurations and operations upon reopening, and the market generally. The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve each day. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, regional quarantines, labor stoppages and shortages, changes in consumer purchasing patterns, mandatory or elective shut-downs of retail locations, disruptions to supply chains, including the inability of our suppliers and service providers to deliver materials and services on a timely basis, or at all, severe market volatility, liquidity disruptions, and overall economic instability, which, in many cases, have had, and we expect will continue to have, material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
In light of these uncertainties, for purposes of this Report, except where otherwise indicated, the descriptions of our business, our strategies, our risk factors, and any other forward-looking statements, including regarding us, our business and the market generally, do not reflect the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or our responses thereto. In addition, the disclosures contained in this Report are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. For further information, please see “Risk Factors” within our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
For a detailed summary of recent and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our actions taken in response thereto, please see "Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Known and Anticipated Trends".

Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, 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”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “can have”, “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning 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 earnings, revenues, comparable store sales, operating income, earnings per share, 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. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including: 
the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic generally, and on our operations, or our future financial or operational results, including with respect to our ability to reopen and keep stores open, e-commerce operations, cash and liquidity, payroll and inventory management, and our ability to realize any cost savings and manage expected capital expenditures;
our ability to successfully open new stores and profitably operate our existing stores;
our ability to attract customers to our e-commerce website;
our ability to efficiently utilize our e-commerce fulfillment center;
effectively adapting to new challenges associated with our expansion into new geographic markets;
our ability to establish, maintain and enhance a strong brand image;
generating adequate cash from our existing stores to support our growth;
identifying and responding to new and changing customer fashion preferences and fashion-related trends;
competing effectively in an environment of intense competition both in stores and online;
containing the increase in the cost of mailing catalogs, paper and printing;
the success of the malls, power centers, neighborhood and lifestyle centers, outlet centers and street-front locations in which our stores are located;
our ability to attract customers in the various retail venues and geographies in which our stores are located;
our ability to adapt to downward trends in traffic for our stores and changes in our customers' purchasing patterns;
adapting to declines in consumer confidence and decreases in consumer spending;
our ability to adapt to significant changes in sales due to the seasonality of our business;
our ability to compete in social media marketing platforms;
price reductions or inventory shortages resulting from failure to purchase the appropriate amount of inventory in advance of the season in which it will be sold;
natural disasters, unusually adverse weather conditions, boycotts and unanticipated events;
changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets we serve, including increased competition from other retailers;
our dependence on third-party vendors to provide us with sufficient quantities of merchandise at acceptable prices;
increases in costs of energy, transportation or utility costs and in the costs of labor and employment;
our ability to balance proprietary branded merchandise with the third-party branded merchandise we sell;
most of our merchandise is made in foreign countries, making price and availability of our merchandise susceptible to international trade conditions;
failure of our vendors and their manufacturing sources to use acceptable labor or other practices;
our dependence upon key executive management or our inability to hire or retain the talent required for our business;
our ability to effectively adapt to our rapid expansion in recent years and our planned expansion;
failure of our information technology systems to support our current and growing business, before and after our planned upgrades;
disruptions in our supply chain and distribution center;
our indebtedness and lease obligations, including restrictions on our operations contained therein;
our reliance upon independent third-party transportation providers for certain of our product shipments;

Table of Contents

our ability to increase comparable store sales or sales per square foot, which may cause our operations and stock price to be volatile;
disruptions to our information systems in the ordinary course or as a result of systems upgrades;
our inability to protect our trademarks or other intellectual property rights;
epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorism or civil unrest;
the impact of governmental laws and regulations and the outcomes of legal proceedings;
our ability to secure the personal financial information of our customers and comply with the security standards for the credit card industry;
our failure to maintain adequate internal controls over our financial and management systems; and
continuing costs incurred as a result of being a public company.
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon 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.
See “Risk Factors” within our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties mentioned above and for discussion of other risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as others made in this Report and hereafter in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the risks and uncertainties identified by us may not be all of the factors that are important to you. Furthermore, the disclosures and forward-looking statements included in this Report 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, except as otherwise required by law.

TILLY’S, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation
Tillys is a leading destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls with an extensive assortment of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active and social lifestyle. Tillys is headquartered in Irvine, California and operated 239 stores, including one RSQ-branded pop-up store, in 33 states as of May 2, 2020 (all of which were temporarily closed to the public beginning March 18, 2020, and through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Our stores are located in malls, lifestyle centers, ‘power’ centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front locations. Customers may also shop online, where we feature the same assortment of products as carried in our brick-and-mortar stores, supplemented by additional online-only styles. Our goal is to serve as a destination for the latest, most relevant merchandise and brands important to our customers.
The Tillys concept began in 1982, when our co-founders, Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine, opened their first store in Orange County, California. Since 1984, the business has been conducted through World of Jeans & Tops, a California corporation, or “WOJT”, which operates under the name “Tillys”. In May 2011, Tilly’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of WOJT in preparation for an initial public offering. As part of the initial public offering in May 2012, WOJT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly's, Inc.
As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms "the Company", "World of Jeans and Tops", "WOJT", "we", "our", "us" and "Tillys" refer to WOJT before our initial public offering, and to Tilly's, Inc. and its subsidiary after our initial public offering.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year, especially in light of the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 ("fiscal 2019").
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 2020 refer to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021. References to the fiscal quarters or three months ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen week period ended as of those dates, respectively.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Information regarding our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns. Taxes collected from our customers are recorded on a net basis. For e-commerce sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, our reserve for sales returns was $1.7 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. The customer liability balance was $8.1 million, $9.3 million and $7.4 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card “breakage”). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Revenue recognized from gift cards was $2.7 million and $4.2 million for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively.
We have a customer loyalty program where customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may be redeemed for merchandise. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as deferred revenue and awards redeemed by the member for merchandise are recorded as an increase to net sales. Our loyalty program includes the ability for customers to redeem their awards instantly rather than build up to an award over time. We currently expire unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points 365 days after the last purchase activity. A liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of awards and partial points earned and estimated redemptions. The deferred revenue for this program was $2.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.7 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized from our loyalty program was $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively.

Leases
We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms for our stores are generally for ten years (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.
Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we elected to withhold payment of our contractual lease obligations in the aggregate amount of $13.3 million for the months of April and May 2020. We are currently attempting to negotiate COVID-19-related rent concessions for these withheld payments on our store leased properties. As of the date of this filing, the Company remains in discussions with its landlords with respect to these potential rent concessions, and thus the nature and scope of these concessions, if any, remains uncertain. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance in April, which allows COVID-19-related rent concessions to be accounted for as if no change was made to the contract or as variable lease payments. We did not recognize any material COVID-19-related rent concessions as of May 2, 2020, as we have not yet finalized negotiations with our landlords. In addition, we continue to assess and hold ongoing conversations with landlords for various properties in seeking commercially reasonable lease concessions given the current environment.
We lease approximately 172,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (10 and 12 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by the co-founders of Tillys. The lease expires on December 31, 2027. During each of the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.5 million related to this lease.
We lease approximately 26,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (11 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020, and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.1 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index, with the adjustment not to be below 3% nor exceed 7% in any one annual increase. The lease expires on June 30, 2022.
We lease approximately 81,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (17 Pasteur, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. We use this property as our e-commerce distribution center. During each of the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.2 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index, with the adjustment not to be below 3% nor exceed 7% in any one annual increase. The lease expires on October 31, 2021.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, we corrected an immaterial error of $3,221, which consisted solely of an understatement of amounts disclosed for fixed operating lease expense and an overstatement of amounts disclosed for variable lease expense with no changes in reported total lease expense.

Weighted average interest rate (1)

(1) Since our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate on date of adoption or at lease inception in determining the present value of future minimum payments.
Income Taxes
Our income tax benefit was $(10.6) million, or 37.9% of loss before taxes, compared to $0.3 million, or 30.6% of income before taxes for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to the anticipated benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") enacted on March 27, 2020, which provides for net operating losses in fiscal 2020 to be carried back to earlier tax years with higher tax rates than the current year. As a result of the operating losses being carried back, an income tax receivable of $7.2 million is included in receivables on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 2, 2020.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which modifies or replaces existing models for impairment of trade and other receivables, debt securities, loans, beneficial interests held as assets, purchased-credit impaired financial assets and other instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected losses over the life of the asset and recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses upon recognition of the financial instrument. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with early adoption permitted and must be adopted using the modified retrospective method. We expect the new rules to apply to our fixed income securities recorded at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity and our trade receivables. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general income tax accounting methodology including an exception for interim periods showing operating losses in excess of anticipated operating losses for the year. The new rules will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3: Marketable Securities
Marketable securities as of May 2, 2020 consisted of commercial paper, classified as available-for-sale, and fixed income securities, classified as held-to-maturity as we have the intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Our investments in commercial paper and fixed income securities are recorded at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, which approximates fair value. All of our marketable securities are less than one year from maturity.

Note 4: Line of Credit
Our amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") provides for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate charged on borrowings is selected at our discretion at the time of draw between the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus 0.75%, or at the Bank’s prime rate. The agreement allows for the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to stockholders, subject to certain limitations. On February 12, 2020 and February 27, 2019, we paid a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share to all holders of record of issued and outstanding shares of both our Class A and Class B common stock. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. As a sub-feature under the credit agreement, the Bank may also issue stand-by and/or commercial letters of credit up to $15.0 million.
In March 2020, we borrowed $23.7 million under our revolving credit facility, which represented the maximum borrowings permitted thereunder. As of June 1, 2020, the variable interest rate on these borrowings was based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points, or 0.9% per annum. On June 26, 2020, the interest rate will adjust based on our choice of available LIBOR rates at that time.
We are required to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants in accordance with the line of credit. The financial covenants require certain levels of profitability, leverage and assets, such as: (i) income before income taxes not less than $1.0 million, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis; (ii) a maximum "Funded Debt to EBITDAR" ratio of 4.00 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, defined as the sum of total debt, capital leases and annual rent expense multiplied by six divided by the sum of net income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and annual rent expense; (iii) a minimum "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" not less than 1.25 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, with the ratio defined as (a) EBITDAR minus cash taxes, dividends,

Table of Contents

distributions, redemptions and repurchases of equity interest, divided by (b) the aggregate of the current maturity of long-term debt, capitalized lease payments, interest expense and rent expense; (iv) minimum eligible inventory, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $50.0 million as of the end of each quarter; and (v) not more than $50.0 million in allowable investments in fixed assets in any fiscal year. In addition, pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay any and all indebtedness, obligations, assessments and taxes when due, subject to certain limitations.
As of May 2, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our credit agreement, other than with respect to (i) the financial covenants related to our Fixed Coverage Ratio and Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio as of the fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2020, and (ii) the covenant that we pay any and all obligations when due on the basis of our non-payment of our contractual rental obligations pursuant to our store leases during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 2, 2020, our Fixed Coverage Ratio was 0.8 to 1.0, and our Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio was 4.7. The Bank has provided a limited waiver with respect to each of these violations. We are currently in discussions with the Bank to amend the credit agreement to obtain covenant relief with respect to these covenants.
In August 2019, we entered into an amendment to increase the standby letter of credit from $1.1 million to $1.3 million. The standby letter of credit was established for security against insurance claims as required by our workers' compensation insurance policy.  There has been no activity or borrowings under this letter of credit since its inception.
Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which we are a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against us, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Juan Carlos Gonzales, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s Inc. et al, Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2017-00948710-CU-OE-CXC. In October 2017, the plaintiff filed a putative class action against us, alleging various violations of California’s wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In December 2017, we filed an answer to the complaint, denying all of the claims and asserting various defenses. In April 2018, the plaintiff filed a separate action under the Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") against us seeking penalties on behalf of himself and other similarly situated employees for the same alleged violations of California's wage and hour laws. We requested the plaintiff to dismiss the class action claims based on an existing class action waiver in an arbitration agreement which plaintiff signed with our co-defendant, BaronHR, the staffing company that employed plaintiff to work at the Company. In June 2018, the plaintiff's class action complaint was dismissed. The parties mediated the PAGA case with a well-respected mediator in March 2020. Although the case did not settle at the mediation, the parties have agreed to continue their settlement discussions with the assistance of the mediator. The court has not yet issued a trial date. By agreement between co-defendant BaronHR and Tilly's, BaronHR is required to indemnify Tilly's in this matter. We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.
Skylar Ward, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s, Inc., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC595405. In September 2015, the plaintiff filed a putative class action lawsuit against us alleging, among other things, various violations of California's wage and hour laws. The complaint sought class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, and attorneys' fees. In June 2016, the court granted our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action against us and dismissed the complaint. Specifically, the court agreed with us that the plaintiff's cause of action for reporting-time pay fails as a matter of law as the plaintiff and other putative class members did not "report for work" with respect to certain shifts on which the plaintiff's claims are based. In November 2016, the court entered a written order sustaining our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint and dismissing all of plaintiff’s causes of action with prejudice. In January 2017, the plaintiff filed an appeal of the order to the California Court of Appeal. In February 2019, the Court of Appeal issued an opinion overturning the trial court’s decision, holding that the plaintiff’s allegations stated a claim. In March 2019, we filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court seeking its discretionary review of the Court of Appeal’s decision. The California Supreme Court declined to review the Court of


17

Table of Contents

Appeal’s decision. Since the case was remanded back to the trial court, the parties have been engaged in discovery. In March 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. Our opposition to the motion for class certification is due July 6, 2020.  We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.
Note 6: Fair Value Measurements
We determine fair value based on a three-level valuation hierarchy as described below. Fair value is defined as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy of inputs used to determine fair value is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs (i.e., projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
We measure certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including our marketable securities, which are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, and certain cash equivalents, specifically money market securities, commercial paper and bonds. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The marketable securities are valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third party entities.
From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment using Company specific assumptions which would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value calculations contain significant judgments and estimates, which may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance.
During the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we did not make any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets. Furthermore, as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we did not have any Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
An impairment is recorded on a long-lived asset used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amounts for such asset may not be recoverable. Important factors that could result in an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or planned operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets, a decision to relocate or close a store or significant changes in our business strategies.
An evaluation is performed using estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities compared to the carrying value of related assets for the individual stores. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets based on the discounted cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates our weighted average cost of capital. With regard to retail store assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, fixtures, computer hardware and software, and operating lease

Table of Contents

assets, we consider the assets at each individual retail store to represent an asset group. In addition, we have considered the relevant valuation techniques that could be applied without undue cost and effort and have determined that the discounted estimated future cash flow approach provides the most relevant and reliable means by which to determine fair value in this circumstance.
On a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, based on Level 3 inputs of historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of our stores, we determined that five of our stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related lease to recover our investment in the respective store. As a result, we recorded non-impairment charges of approximately $0.3 million to write-down the carrying value of certain long-lived store assets to their estimated fair values.

Note 7: Share-Based Compensation
The Tilly's, Inc. 2012 Second Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended in June 2020 (the "2012 Plan"), authorizes up to 6,613,900 shares for issuance of options, shares or rights to acquire our Class A common stock and allows for, among other things, operating income and comparable store sales growth targets as additional performance goals that may be used in connection with performance-based awards granted under the 2012 Plan. As of May 2, 2020, there were 430,940 shares still available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. Following the amendment of the 2012 Plan on June 10, 2020, there were 2,605,940 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.
Stock Options
We grant stock options to certain employees that give them the right to acquire our Class A common stock under the 2012 Plan. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the closing price per share of our stock at the date of grant. The nonqualified options vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the award recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates, and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the fiscal period and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal period. The market value per share was $5.57 at May 2, 2020.
The stock option awards were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term

and our expected annual dividend yield, if any. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We will issue shares of Class A common stock when the options are exercised.
The fair values of stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions.

We do not currently have a dividend policy and we do not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends on our common stock at this time.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") represent restricted shares of our common stock issued upon the date of grant in which the recipient's rights in the stock are restricted until the shares are vested. Under the 2012 Plan, we grant RSAs to independent members of our Board of Directors. RSAs granted to our Board of Directors vest at a rate of 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective award recipient continues to serve on our Board of Directors through each of those vesting dates. We determine the fair value of RSAs based upon the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant.

Note 8: (Loss) Income Per Share
Income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, unamortized compensation and hypothetical excess tax benefits, if any, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by us to purchase the common shares at the average market price during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock represent outstanding stock options and RSAs.

Note 9: Subsequent Events
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020 ending August 1, 2020, pursuant to the latest guidelines from local, state and federal governments and health organizations, and with new health and safety protocols in place, including, in many cases, significant restrictions on customer traffic, the Company began reopening its stores. As of June 14, 2020, the Company has reopened a total of 213 stores, or 89% of its total 239 stores. As a result of the reopening of a significant number of our stores, we have returned a significant portion of our furloughed employees back to work and also resumed full operations in our distribution center that serves our stores.
At this time, the Company cannot predict with certainty its future customer traffic, comparable store net sales results, overall financial performance, the pace at which additional stores may be able to reopen, or whether re-opened stores will be allowed to remain open in the future, nor can the Company ensure that the foregoing store reopening results will be indicative of future performance in the pending uncertainty related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes of Tilly’s, Inc. included in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “the Company”, “World of Jeans & Tops”, “we”, “our”, “us”, "Tillys" and “Tilly’s” refer to Tilly’s, Inc. and its subsidiary.
Overview
Tillys is a destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls. We offer an extensive assortment of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active and social lifestyle. Tillys started operations in 1982, when Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine opened our first store in Orange County, California. As of May 2, 2020, we operated 239 stores in 33 states, averaging approximately 7,400 square feet (all of which were temporarily closed to the public beginning March 18, 2020, and through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). We also sell our products through our e-commerce website, www.tillys.com.
Known or Anticipated Trends
As described elsewhere in this Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching adverse impacts on many aspects of our business, both directly and indirectly, including on our operations generally, consumer behavior, store traffic, demands on our information technology and e-commerce capabilities, inventory and expense management, production capabilities, timing of deliveries, managing our workforce, our store configurations and operations upon reopening, and the market generally. The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve each day. The following is a summary of our recent and anticipated actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business:
Store Operations:
On March 18, 2020, in response to the continued spread of COVID-19, we temporarily closed all 239 of our stores across the United States in order to protect the health and well-being of our employees, customers, and communities. In addition, at that time, we substantially closed the distribution center that serves our stores.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020 ending August 1, 2020, pursuant to local, state and federal government orders and guidance from health organizations, and after implementing various new health and safety protocols in our stores, including, in many cases, significant restrictions on customer traffic, we began reopening our stores. As of June 14, 2020, we have reopened a total of 213 stores, representing 89% of our 239 total stores. Since the respective reopening date of each of these stores and through June 14, 2020, compared to the respective comparable prior year periods, customer traffic in the reopened stores has decreased by 26% collectively and comparable store net sales in the reopened stores has increased by 4.7% collectively. Comparable store net sales results by store since reopening have ranged from a decrease of 62% to an increase of 171% with 114 stores having positive cumulative comparable store net sales results and 92 stores having negative cumulative comparable store net sales results since their respective reopening date. Cumulative comparable store net sales since reopening have increased by 6.5% in off-mall stores collectively (89 total off-mall stores reopened) and by 1.4% in mall-based stores collectively (124 total mall-based stores reopened). Total comparable store net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 through June 14, 2020, including e-commerce and the periods for which stores were temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, were $52.0 million, a decrease of $11.3 million or 17.8%, compared to $63.3 million for the comparable period last year. Comparable store net sales from physical stores were $25.0 million, a decrease of $29.8 million or 54.4%, compared to $54.8 million for the comparable period last year. Net sales from e-commerce were $27.0 million, an increase of $18.6 million or 219.0%, compared to $8.5 million for the comparable period last year. As a result of the reopening of a significant number of our stores, we have returned a significant portion of our furloughed employees back to work and also resumed full operations in our distribution center that serves our stores.
We will continue to monitor the guidance from local, state and federal governments and health organizations, as well as announcements made by mall landlords, to determine the pace of any future store reopenings. At this time, we cannot predict with certainty when the remainder of our currently closed stores will be able to reopen, or whether the stores that have reopened will be able to remain open. In addition, we cannot provide any assurances that our comparable store net sales performance since reopening will be indicative of our future performance. If a significant number of our stores remain closed, or if net sales remain significantly below last year’s levels for any future period, we would expect to continue to incur significant operating losses in the future, which will have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Table of Contents

E-Commerce Operations:
Our website and e-commerce distribution center have operated continuously thus far in fiscal 2020, in compliance with applicable government orders. However, we may elect, or be required, to shut down e-commerce operations temporarily at any time in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the closure of all of our stores on March 18, 2020, our net sales from e-commerce increased significantly. Net sales from e-commerce increased by 9.6% during February, followed by an increase of 49.3% during March and 90.0% during April, finishing the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with a total net sales increase of 54.2% compared to last year's comparable respective periods. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020 through June 14, 2020, net sales from e-commerce have increased by 219.0% to date compared to the comparable prior year period. However, the rate of e-commerce net sales growth has begun to slow down, and we expect this trend to continue as more of our stores, and our competitors’ stores, reopen. At this time, we cannot predict with any certainty the future rate or timing of e-commerce net sales compared to last year.
Cash/Liquidity:
On March 24, 2020, we borrowed approximately $23.7 million under our revolving credit facility, which represented the maximum borrowings permitted thereunder, at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points, which total rate was 0.9% per annum as of June 1, 2020.
In order to further protect our Company's liquidity, we elected to withhold payment of the Company's contractual store lease payments for the months of April and May 2020. For all stores reopened, we have paid, or intend to pay, our contractual store lease payments for June 2020. We remain in discussions with our store landlords with respect to our withheld contractual store lease payments and future store lease obligations, and we may have to pay some or all of the withheld store rents at a future date, incur additional costs, or be forced to close certain stores. Our normal cash payments for contractual store lease commitments is currently approximately $6.7 million per month.
As of June 15, 2020, cash on hand, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled approximately $131.9 million, which includes the $23.7 million of amounts borrowed under our credit facility and the cash resulting from withheld contractual store lease payments of $14.3 million in the aggregate referenced above. Excluding the cash borrowed under our credit facility and withheld store lease payments, our remaining cash on hand, cash equivalents, and marketable securities would have totaled approximately $93.9 million as of June 15, 2020, compared to approximately $117.8 million with no borrowings under our credit facility and no withheld lease payments as of June 17, 2019, the comparable fiscal date last year.
Payroll Management:
On March 27, 2020, we furloughed all non-management store associates, a significant majority of our stores' distribution center staff, and a portion of our corporate office staff, comprising approximately 91% of our total employee workforce.
In addition to the foregoing actions by our Company, members of management and our Board of Directors took the following actions, which we expect will remain in place until most of our Company's stores reopen or general conditions improve:
Hezy Shaked, Executive Chairman of our Board and Chief Strategy Officer, elected to forgo his salary;
Ed Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer, elected to forgo his salary for the month of April 2020, and thereafter joined our management team in taking a temporary reduction in salary;
Each of the other members of our management team elected to take a significant temporary reduction in salary based on a graduated scale according to annual salary, ranging from 10% to 50% of their respective annual salaries; and
The independent members of our Board of Directors unanimously elected to forgo their respective quarterly cash retainer fees for their service on our Board.
The combined impact of the employee furloughs and management pay cuts noted above reduced our weekly cash requirements for payroll costs to approximately 24% of historically normal levels, or by approximately $1.4 million per week since the beginning of April. However, as we have started to reopen our stores, we have begun bringing back our store teams and other corporate support functions necessary to conduct our business, which has increased our payroll costs since the furloughs and pay cuts described above were implemented.
Inventory Management:
We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with merchandise inventories up 10.8% on a per square foot basis compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to all of our stores being closed since March 18, 2020. We canceled a significant majority of our originally planned inventory receipts for the months of April through June 2020 and we have


23

Table of Contents

significantly reduced our future inventory commitments through the remainder of fiscal 2020. Also, where allowed by local government orders, we were able to access approximately 75 of our off-mall store locations at times during the first quarter to ship certain portions of our stores’ inventory back to our e-commerce distribution center and serve certain online orders for customers in order to help supplement our e-commerce business, and we may continue to do so from more of our stores as they reopen to the extent we are able and permitted. As a result of these actions, we ended fiscal May 2020 with merchandise inventories per square foot down 10.5% compared to last year. We currently expect our inventory per square foot to be approximately flat to below last year’s levels as of the end of the second quarter. However, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to successfully reduce our inventory levels to be more consistent with the level of net sales in the future.
Cost Savings:
After careful consideration, we identified additional expense reductions that we intend to implement throughout the remainder of fiscal 2020 as necessary. Such reductions include the potential suspension of physical catalog production and mailing, cancellation of certain contractual relationships, and continuing restrictions on travel, among other items. We expect to be able to reduce total expenses by up to approximately $10 million for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019, if fully implemented.
Capital Expenditures:
Prior to having experienced the materially adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial position, we had planned to open up to 15 new stores during fiscal 2020, nine of which had signed leases in place. We have since ceased lease negotiations on the six new stores for which no lease has yet been signed, and we are in discussions with the respective landlords to defer the lease commitments for the remaining nine stores while we continue to monitor and better understand the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the properties in which these stores are located. We cannot guarantee that the respective landlords will agree to defer the lease commitments, nor when we would otherwise be able to open new stores at those locations. As a result, we cannot predict with any certainty the approximate number of new stores that we may open during fiscal 2020 at this time, or the specific anticipated capital expenditures that will be incurred related thereto. We currently anticipate total capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 for various information technology and customer-facing investments to be approximately $7 million. If we are ultimately required to open the nine stores covered by the signed lease commitments during fiscal 2020, we would currently expect total capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 to be approximately $14 million.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and certain of the remedial measures taken by us in response to it, have had, and we expect will continue to have, material adverse impacts on our current business, financial condition and results of operations, and may create additional risks for us. While we anticipate that the foregoing impacts are temporary, we cannot predict the specific duration for which we may be impacted, and we may experience additional or further impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and/or elect or need to take additional measures as the information available to us continues to develop, including with respect to our employees, inventory receipts, store leases, and relationships with our third-party vendors. We expect to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consumers, employees, supply chain, and operations, and intend to adjust our responses accordingly. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and our precautionary measures in response thereto may impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. See also “Risk Factors” within our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are net sales, comparable store sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income.
Net Sales
Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of our merchandise at store locations and through e-commerce, net of sales taxes. Store sales are reflected in sales when the merchandise is received by the customer. For e-commerce sales, we recognize revenue, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Net sales also include shipping and handling fees for e-commerce shipments that have been shipped to the customer. Net sales are net of returns on sales during the period as well as an estimate of returns expected in the future stemming from current period sales. We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as "breakage"). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Net sales are also adjusted for the unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points on our customer loyalty program.
Our business is seasonal and as a result our revenues fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In addition, our revenues in any given quarter can be affected by a number of factors including the timing of holidays and weather patterns. The third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which include the back-to-school and holiday sales seasons, have historically produced stronger sales and disproportionately stronger operating results than have the first two quarters of the fiscal year.
Comparable Store Sales
Comparable store sales is a measure that indicates the change in year-over-year comparable store sales which allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Numerous factors affect our comparable store sales, including:
 
overall economic trends;
our ability to attract traffic to our stores and e-commerce platform;
our ability to identify and respond effectively to consumer preferences and fashion trends;
competition;
the timing of our releases of new and seasonal styles;
changes in our product mix;
pricing;
the level of customer service that we provide in stores and through our e-commerce platform;
our ability to source and distribute products efficiently;
calendar shifts of holiday or seasonal periods;
the number and timing of store openings and the relative proportion of new stores to mature stores; and
the timing and success of promotional and advertising efforts.
Comparable store sales are sales from our e-commerce platform and stores open at least 12 full fiscal months as of the end of the current reporting period. A remodeled, relocated or refreshed store is included in comparable store sales, both during and after construction, if the square footage of the store used to sell merchandise was not changed by more than 20% and the store was not closed for more than five days in any fiscal month. We include sales from our e-commerce platform as part of comparable store sales as we manage and analyze our business on a single omni-channel basis and have substantially integrated our investments and operations for our stores and e-commerce platform to give our customers seamless access and increased ease of shopping. Comparable store sales exclude gift card breakage income and e-commerce shipping and handling fee revenue. Some of our competitors and other retailers may calculate comparable or “same store” sales differently than we do. As a result, data in this report regarding our comparable store sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers.


25

Table of Contents

Gross Profit
Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold reflects the direct cost of purchased merchandise as well as buying, distribution and occupancy costs. Buying costs include compensation and benefit expense for our internal buying organization. Distribution costs include costs for receiving, processing and warehousing our store merchandise, and shipping of merchandise to or from our distribution and e-commerce fulfillment centers and to our e-commerce customers and between store locations. Occupancy costs include the rent, common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes, security and depreciation costs of all store locations. These costs are significant and can be expected to continue to increase as our company grows. The components of our reported cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retail companies.
We regularly analyze the components of gross profit as well as gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Specifically we look at the initial markup on purchases, markdowns and reserves, shrinkage, buying costs, distribution costs and occupancy costs. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups, a significant increase in our use of markdowns or a significant increase in inventory shrinkage or inability to generate sufficient sales leverage on the buying, distribution and occupancy components of cost of goods sold could have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations.
Gross profit is also impacted by shifts in the proportion of sales of proprietary branded products compared to third-party branded products, as well as by sales mix shifts within and between brands and between major product departments such as mens apparel, womens apparel, footwear or accessories. A substantial shift in the mix of products could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales have historically been higher in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, as these periods include the back-to-school and winter holiday selling seasons. In those periods, various costs, such as occupancy costs, generally do not increase in proportion to the seasonal sales increase.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses are composed of store selling expenses and corporate-level general and administrative expenses. Store selling expenses include store and regional support costs, including personnel, advertising and debit and credit card processing costs, e-commerce receiving and processing costs and store supplies costs. General and administrative expenses include the payroll and support costs of corporate functions such as executive management, legal, accounting, information systems, human resources, impairment charges and other centralized services. Store selling expenses generally vary proportionately with net sales and store growth. In contrast, general and administrative expenses are generally not directly proportional to net sales and store growth, but will be expected to increase over time to support the needs of our growing company. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are usually higher in lower volume periods and lower in higher volume periods.
Operating (Loss) Income
Operating (loss) income equals gross profit less SG&A expenses. Operating (loss) income excludes interest income, interest expense and income taxes. Operating (loss) income percentage measures operating (loss) income as a percentage of our net sales.

Comparable store sales are net sales from stores that have been open at least 12 full fiscal months since their original store opening date as of the end of the current reporting period. A remodeled or relocated store is included in comparable store sales, both during and after construction, if the square footage of the store used to sell merchandise was not changed by more than 20% and the store was not closed for more than five days in any fiscal month. Comparable store sales include sales through our e-commerce platform but exclude gift card breakage income, deferred revenue on loyalty program and e-commerce shipping and handling fee revenue.

The Company temporarily closed all of its 239 stores on March 18, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All stores remained closed to the public for the final 45 days of the 91-day fiscal quarter. The comparable store net sales result reported above for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 includes e-commerce net sales and results from physical stores only through March 18, 2020, the last day of operation for the Company's stores during the quarter. Net sales from physical stores for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 were $47.0 million, a decrease of 57.5%, compared to $110.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The Company's e-commerce business continued to operate throughout the first quarter, and increased following the closure of the Company's stores. Net sales from e-

First Quarter (13 Weeks) Ended May 2, 2020 Compared to First Quarter (13 Weeks) Ended May 4, 2019
Net Sales
Net sales were $77.3 million, a decrease of $53.0 million, or 40.7%, compared to $130.3 million last year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we temporarily closed all of our 239 stores on March 18, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All stores remained closed to the public for the final 45 days of the 91-day fiscal quarter, including during the peak weeks of the quarter surrounding normal school spring breaks and Easter. Net sales from physical stores for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $47.0 million, a decrease of 57.5%, compared to $110.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Our e-commerce business continued to operate throughout the first quarter, and increased following the closure of our stores. Net sales from e-commerce for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $30.3 million, an increase of 54.2%, compared to $19.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We ended the quarter with 239 total stores, including one RSQ-branded pop-up store, all of which remained closed as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to 229 total stores, including three RSQ-branded pop-up stores, all of which were open at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Gross Profit    
Gross profit was $1.6 million, a decrease of $34.1 million or 95.5%, compared to $35.7 million last year. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, was 2.1% compared to 27.4% last year. Product margins decreased 770 basis points as a percentage of net sales primarily due to an estimated inventory valuation reserve of $4.7 million and increased markdowns. Occupancy costs deleveraged 1,250 basis points as a percentage of net sales despite being $0.5 million lower than last year, primarily due to the significant net sales decline resulting from the store closures noted above. Although we withheld store lease payments in April 2020, normal expense recognition of lease costs continues as normal. Distribution costs deleveraged 440 basis points as a percentage of net sales primarily due to an increase in e-commerce shipping charges of $0.9 million resulting from a greater volume of e-commerce orders. Buying costs deleveraged 70 basis points as a percentage of net sales despite being $0.1 million below last year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses were $30.0 million, or 38.8% of net sales, compared to $35.5 million, or 27.3% of net sales, last year. The components of the SG&A, both in terms of percentage of net sales and total dollars, were as follows:

Operating (Loss)/Income
Operating loss was $(28.4) million, or (36.7)% of net sales, compared to operating income of $0.1 million, or 0.1% of net sales, last year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the temporary closure of all 239 of our stores midway through the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the other changes noted above.
Income Tax (Benefit)/Expense
Income tax benefit was $(10.6) million, or 37.9% of loss before taxes, compared to $0.3 million, or 30.6% of income before taxes, last year. Income tax expense for both periods includes certain discrete items associated with employee stock-based award activity. The increase in the effective income tax rate for fiscal 2020 is primarily due to the anticipated benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") enacted on March 27, 2020, which provides for net operating losses in fiscal 2020 to be carried back to earlier tax years with higher tax rates than the current year.
Net (Loss)/Income and (Loss)/Income Per Diluted Share
Net loss was $(17.4) million, or $(0.59) per share, compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business relies on cash flows from operating activities as well as cash on hand as our primary sources of liquidity. We currently expect to finance company operations, store growth and remodels with existing cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flows from operations.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, the most significant components of our working capital are merchandise inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our responses thereto (including such actions we have taken or may take in the future as disclosed elsewhere in this Report), we believe that cash flows from operating activities, our cash and marketable securities on hand, and credit facility availability will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months from the issuance of this Report. If cash flows from operations are not sufficient or available to meet our capital requirements, then we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our stockholders.
Working Capital
Working capital at May 2, 2020, was $50.8 million compared to $63.6 million at February 1, 2020, a decrease of $12.8 million. The changes in our working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were as follows:

Line of Credit
Our amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") provides for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate charged on borrowings is selected at our discretion at the time of draw between the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus 0.75%, or at the Bank’s prime rate. The agreement allows for the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to stockholders, subject to certain limitations. On February 12, 2020 and February 27, 2019, we paid a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share to all holders of record of issued and outstanding shares of both our Class A and Class B common stock. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. As a sub-feature under the credit agreement, the Bank may also issue stand-by and/or commercial letters of credit up to $15.0 million.
In March 2020, we borrowed $23.7 million under our revolving credit facility, which represented the maximum borrowings permitted thereunder. As of June 1, 2020, the variable interest rate on these borrowings was based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points, or 0.9% per annum. On June 26, 2020, the interest rate will adjust based on our choice of available LIBOR rates at that time.
We are required to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants in accordance with the line of credit. The financial covenants require certain levels of profitability, leverage and assets, such as: (i) income before income taxes not less than $1.0 million, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis; (ii) a maximum "Funded Debt to EBITDAR" ratio of 4.00 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, defined as the sum of total debt, capital leases and annual rent expense multiplied by six divided by the sum of net income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and annual rent expense; (iii) a minimum "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" not less than 1.25 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, with the ratio defined as (a) EBITDAR minus cash taxes, dividends, distributions, redemptions and repurchases of equity interest, divided by (b) the aggregate of the current maturity of long-term debt, capitalized lease payments, interest expense and rent expense; (iv) minimum eligible inventory, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $50.0 million as of the end of each quarter; and (v) not more than $50.0 million in allowable investments in fixed assets in any fiscal year. In addition, pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay any and all indebtedness, obligations, assessments and taxes when due, subject to certain limitations.

Table of Contents

As of May 2, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our credit agreement, other than with respect to (i) the financial covenants related to our Fixed Coverage Ratio and Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio as of the fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2020, and (ii) the covenant that we pay any and all obligations when due on the basis of our non-payment of our contractual rental obligations pursuant to our store leases during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 2, 2020, our Fixed Coverage Ratio was 0.8 to 1.0, and our Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio was 4.7. The Bank has provided a limited waiver with respect to each of these violations. We are currently in discussions with the Bank to amend the credit agreement to obtain covenant relief with respect to these covenants.
In August 2019, we entered into an amendment to increase the standby letter of credit from $1.1 million to $1.3 million. The standby letter of credit was established for security against insurance claims, as required by our workers' compensation insurance policy.  There has been no activity or borrowings under this letter of credit since its inception.

Impact of CARES Act on Company Liquidity
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act which, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.  We continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business. We anticipate that we may benefit from the net operating loss carryback provision, which may enable us to recover certain income taxes paid during prior tax years, and certain payroll tax deferrals. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business, we cannot estimate any specific tax benefits from the CARES Act at this time beyond the income tax benefit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 disclosed above within "Income Tax (Benefit)/Expense".

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items, plus the effect on cash of changes during the period in our assets and liabilities.
Net cash flows used in operating activities were $19.6 million this year compared to $2.3 million last year. The $17.3 million increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to lower net sales associated with the temporary closure of all of our stores in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for the final 45 days of the 91-day fiscal quarter.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures and maturities and purchases of marketable securities.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $20.6 million this year compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2.6 million last year. Net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 consisted of proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities of $30.1 million, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $6.0 million and capital expenditures totaling $3.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 consisted of purchases of marketable securities of $34.6 million and capital expenditures totaling $3.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities of $35.0 million.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Financing activities primarily consist of cash dividend payments, borrowings under our line of credit, taxes paid in lieu of shares issued for share based compensation and proceeds from employee exercises of stock options.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities was $6.0 million this year compared to $29.4 million last year. Financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 consisted of dividends paid of $29.7 million, partially offset by $23.7 million in borrowings under our line of credit, which was the maximum amount available thereunder. Financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 consisted of dividends paid of $29.5 million and taxes paid in lieu of shares issued for share-based compensation of $0.1 million, partially offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from stock option exercises.
Contractual Obligations
As of May 2, 2020, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations as described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, except for purchase obligations and our revolving credit facility.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, some of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. As noted elsewhere in this Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant, adverse impacts on our business and the economy generally, making estimates and assumptions about future events far more difficult, if not impossible. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of May 2, 2020, there were no material changes in the market risks described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Disclosure Committee, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 2, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 2, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.


31

Table of Contents

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which we are a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against us, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Juan Carlos Gonzales, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s Inc. et al, Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2017-00948710-CU-OE-CXC. In October 2017, the plaintiff filed a putative class action against us, alleging various violations of California’s wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In December 2017, we filed an answer to the complaint, denying all of the claims and asserting various defenses. In April 2018, the plaintiff filed a separate action under PAGA against us seeking penalties on behalf of himself and other similarly situated employees for the same alleged violations of California's wage and hour laws. We requested the plaintiff to dismiss the class action claims based on an existing class action waiver in an arbitration agreement which plaintiff signed with our co-defendant, BaronHR, the staffing company that employed plaintiff to work at the Company. In June 2018, the plaintiff's class action complaint was dismissed. The parties mediated the PAGA case with a well-respected mediator in March 2020. Although the case did not settle at the mediation, the parties have agreed to continue their settlement discussions with the assistance of the mediator. The court has not yet issued a trial date. By agreement between co-defendant BaronHR and Tilly's, BaronHR is required to indemnify Tilly's in this matter. We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.
Skylar Ward, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s, Inc., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC595405. In September 2015, the plaintiff filed a putative class action lawsuit against us alleging, among other things, various violations of California's wage and hour laws. The complaint sought class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, and attorneys' fees. In June 2016, the court granted our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action against us and dismissed the complaint. Specifically, the court agreed with us that the plaintiff's cause of action for reporting-time pay fails as a matter of law as the plaintiff and other putative class members did not "report for work" with respect to certain shifts on which the plaintiff's claims are based. In November 2016, the court entered a written order sustaining our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint and dismissing all of plaintiff’s causes of action with prejudice. In January 2017, the plaintiff filed an appeal of the order to the California Court of Appeal. In February 2019, the Court of Appeal issued an opinion overturning the trial court’s decision, holding that the plaintiff’s allegations stated a claim. In March 2019, we filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court seeking its discretionary review of the Court of Appeal’s decision. The California Supreme Court declined to review the Court of Appeal’s decision. Since the case was remanded back to the trial court, the parties have been engaged in discovery. In March 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. Our opposition to the motion for class certification is due July 6, 2020.  We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 for a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business. Except as supplemented by the additional risk factor below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We remain subject to a number of material risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and our performance since reopening our stores may not be indicative of our future performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and our business may be further materially and adversely affected by its impacts, including the potential occurrence of a “second wave” or periods of increased spread of COVID-19 in markets in which we operate, new or additional restrictions imposed by federal, state, and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, or changes in consumer spending or purchasing habits resulting from economic and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers. These impacts are likely to affect our business more significantly the longer we are exposed to the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially in the event of a “second wave”. In addition, reopening our stores may subject us to additional risks, including with respect to reduced store traffic and profitability relative to corresponding operating


33

Table of Contents

costs, additional costs or liabilities related to implementing and complying with health and safety measures or other restrictions and increased risks of infection for our customers and employees. To date, we have had to temporarily alter certain aspects of our operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, including imposing significant restrictions on customer traffic, reducing store hours in reopened stores and implementing various health and safety measures. These alterations to our operations may continue to adversely affect our customers’ in-store experiences, our sales and our operations.
As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict with certainty our future customer traffic, our comparable store net sales results, our overall financial performance, the pace at which additional stores may be able to reopen, or whether reopened stores will be allowed to remain open in the future, nor can we ensure that the results since reopening our stores will be indicative of our future performance.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
We determine fair value based on a three-level valuation hierarchy as described below. Fair value is defined as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-level hierarchy of inputs used to determine fair value is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs (i.e., projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
We measure certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including our marketable securities, which are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, and certain cash equivalents, specifically money market securities, commercial paper and bonds. The money market accounts are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The marketable securities are valued based on other observable inputs for those securities (including market corroborated pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves) based on information provided by independent third party entities.
From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment using Company specific assumptions which would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value calculations contain significant judgments and estimates, which may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes in operating performance.
During the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we did not make any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets. Furthermore, as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we did not have any Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
An impairment is recorded on a long-lived asset used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amounts for such asset may not be recoverable. Important factors that could result in an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or planned operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets, a decision to relocate or close a store or significant changes in our business strategies.
An evaluation is performed using estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities compared to the carrying value of related assets for the individual stores. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets based on the discounted cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates our weighted average cost of capital. With regard to retail store assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, fixtures, computer hardware and software, and operating lease assets, we consider the assets at each individual retail store to represent an asset group. In addition, we have considered the relevant valuation techniques that could be applied without undue cost and effort and have determined that the discounted estimated future cash flow approach provides the most relevant and reliable means by which to determine fair value in this circumstance.
On a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, based on Level 3 inputs of historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of our stores, we determined that five of our stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related lease to recover our investment in the respective store. As a result, we recorded non-impairment charges of approximately $0.3 million to write-down the carrying value of certain long-lived store assets to their estimated fair values.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
3 Months Ended
May 02, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year, especially in light of the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 ("fiscal 2019").
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to fiscal 2020 refer to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021. References to the fiscal quarters or three months ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen week period ended as of those dates, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns. Taxes collected from our customers are recorded on a net basis. For e-commerce sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
Leases
Leases
We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms for our stores are generally for ten years (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.
Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Our income tax benefit was $(10.6) million, or 37.9% of loss before taxes, compared to $0.3 million, or 30.6% of income before taxes for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to the anticipated benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") enacted on March 27, 2020, which provides for net operating losses in fiscal 2020 to be carried back to earlier tax years with higher tax rates than the current year. As a result of the operating losses being carried back, an income tax receivable of $7.2 million is included in receivables on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 2, 2020.
New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which modifies or replaces existing models for impairment of trade and other receivables, debt securities, loans, beneficial interests held as assets, purchased-credit impaired financial assets and other instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected losses over the life of the asset and recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses upon recognition of the financial instrument. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with early adoption permitted and must be adopted using the modified retrospective method. We expect the new rules to apply to our fixed income securities recorded at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity and our trade receivables. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general income tax accounting methodology including an exception for interim periods showing operating losses in excess of anticipated operating losses for the year. The new rules will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, our reserve for sales returns was $1.7 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. The customer liability balance was $8.1 million, $9.3 million and $7.4 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card “breakage”). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Revenue recognized from gift cards was $2.7 million and $4.2 million for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively.
We have a customer loyalty program where customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may be redeemed for merchandise. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as deferred revenue and awards redeemed by the member for merchandise are recorded as an increase to net sales. Our loyalty program includes the ability for customers to redeem their awards instantly rather than build up to an award over time. We currently expire unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points 365 days after the last purchase activity. A liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of awards and partial points earned and estimated redemptions. The deferred revenue for this program was $2.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.7 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized from our loyalty program was $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively.
Leases
We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms for our stores are generally for ten years (subject to elective extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised.
Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, most of our store leases are net leases, which typically require us to be responsible for certain property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, in addition to base rent. Many of our store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we elected to withhold payment of our contractual lease obligations in the aggregate amount of $13.3 million for the months of April and May 2020. We are currently attempting to negotiate COVID-19-related rent concessions for these withheld payments on our store leased properties. As of the date of this filing, the Company remains in discussions with its landlords with respect to these potential rent concessions, and thus the nature and scope of these concessions, if any, remains uncertain. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance in April, which allows COVID-19-related rent concessions to be accounted for as if no change was made to the contract or as variable lease payments. We did not recognize any material COVID-19-related rent concessions as of May 2, 2020, as we have not yet finalized negotiations with our landlords. In addition, we continue to assess and hold ongoing conversations with landlords for various properties in seeking commercially reasonable lease concessions given the current environment.
We lease approximately 172,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (10 and 12 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by the co-founders of Tillys. The lease expires on December 31, 2027. During each of the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.5 million related to this lease.
We lease approximately 26,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (11 Whatney, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. During each of the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2020, and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.1 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index, with the adjustment not to be below 3% nor exceed 7% in any one annual increase. The lease expires on June 30, 2022.
We lease approximately 81,000 square feet of office and warehouse space (17 Pasteur, Irvine, California) from a company that is owned by one of the co-founders of Tillys. We use this property as our e-commerce distribution center. During each of the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we incurred rent expense of $0.2 million related to this lease. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease payment adjusts annually based upon the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside Urban Consumer Price Index, with the adjustment not to be below 3% nor exceed 7% in any one annual increase. The lease expires on October 31, 2021.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, we corrected an immaterial error of $3,221, which consisted solely of an understatement of amounts disclosed for fixed operating lease expense and an overstatement of amounts disclosed for variable lease expense with no changes in reported total lease expense.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the fiscal period and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal period. The market value per share was $5.57 at May 2, 2020.
Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of Stock Options Granted
The fair values of stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions.

The expected option term of the awards represents the estimated time that options are expected to be outstanding based upon historical option data.
(2)
Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the awards.
(3)
The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.
(4)
We do not currently have a dividend policy and we do not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends on our common stock at this time.

Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation or claim. Because of the unpredictable nature of these matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation or claim to which we are a party or that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters threatened or pending against us, including those disclosed below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Juan Carlos Gonzales, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s Inc. et al, Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2017-00948710-CU-OE-CXC. In October 2017, the plaintiff filed a putative class action against us, alleging various violations of California’s wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In December 2017, we filed an answer to the complaint, denying all of the claims and asserting various defenses. In April 2018, the plaintiff filed a separate action under the Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") against us seeking penalties on behalf of himself and other similarly situated employees for the same alleged violations of California's wage and hour laws. We requested the plaintiff to dismiss the class action claims based on an existing class action waiver in an arbitration agreement which plaintiff signed with our co-defendant, BaronHR, the staffing company that employed plaintiff to work at the Company. In June 2018, the plaintiff's class action complaint was dismissed. The parties mediated the PAGA case with a well-respected mediator in March 2020. Although the case did not settle at the mediation, the parties have agreed to continue their settlement discussions with the assistance of the mediator. The court has not yet issued a trial date. By agreement between co-defendant BaronHR and Tilly's, BaronHR is required to indemnify Tilly's in this matter. We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.
Skylar Ward, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, v. Tilly’s, Inc., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC595405. In September 2015, the plaintiff filed a putative class action lawsuit against us alleging, among other things, various violations of California's wage and hour laws. The complaint sought class certification, unspecified damages, unpaid wages, penalties, restitution, and attorneys' fees. In June 2016, the court granted our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action against us and dismissed the complaint. Specifically, the court agreed with us that the plaintiff's cause of action for reporting-time pay fails as a matter of law as the plaintiff and other putative class members did not "report for work" with respect to certain shifts on which the plaintiff's claims are based. In November 2016, the court entered a written order sustaining our demurrer to the plaintiff's complaint and dismissing all of plaintiff’s causes of action with prejudice. In January 2017, the plaintiff filed an appeal of the order to the California Court of Appeal. In February 2019, the Court of Appeal issued an opinion overturning the trial court’s decision, holding that the plaintiff’s allegations stated a claim. In March 2019, we filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court seeking its discretionary review of the Court of Appeal’s decision. The California Supreme Court declined to review the Court of Appeal’s decision. Since the case was remanded back to the trial court, the parties have been engaged in discovery. In March 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. Our opposition to the motion for class certification is due July 6, 2020.  We have defended this case vigorously, and will continue to do so.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020 ending August 1, 2020, pursuant to the latest guidelines from local, state and federal governments and health organizations, and with new health and safety protocols in place, including, in many cases, significant restrictions on customer traffic, the Company began reopening its stores. As of June 14, 2020, the Company has reopened a total of 213 stores, or 89% of its total 239 stores. As a result of the reopening of a significant number of our stores, we have returned a significant portion of our furloughed employees back to work and also resumed full operations in our distribution center that serves our stores.
At this time, the Company cannot predict with certainty its future customer traffic, comparable store net sales results, overall financial performance, the pace at which additional stores may be able to reopen, or whether re-opened stores will be allowed to remain open in the future, nor can the Company ensure that the foregoing store reopening results will be indicative of future performance in the pending uncertainty related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation
Tillys is a leading destination specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls with an extensive assortment of iconic global, emerging, and proprietary brands rooted in an active and social lifestyle. Tillys is headquartered in Irvine, California and operated 239 stores, including one RSQ-branded pop-up store, in 33 states as of May 2, 2020 (all of which were temporarily closed to the public beginning March 18, 2020, and through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Our stores are located in malls, lifestyle centers, ‘power’ centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front locations. Customers may also shop online, where we feature the same assortment of products as carried in our brick-and-mortar stores, supplemented by additional online-only styles. Our goal is to serve as a destination for the latest, most relevant merchandise and brands important to our customers.
The Tillys concept began in 1982, when our co-founders, Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine, opened their first store in Orange County, California. Since 1984, the business has been conducted through World of Jeans & Tops, a California corporation, or “WOJT”, which operates under the name “Tillys”. In May 2011, Tilly’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of WOJT in preparation for an initial public offering. As part of the initial public offering in May 2012, WOJT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilly's, Inc.
As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms "the Company", "World of Jeans and Tops", "WOJT", "we", "our", "us" and "Tillys" refer to WOJT before our initial public offering, and to Tilly's, Inc. and its subsidiary after our initial public offering.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Share-Based Compensation
The Tilly's, Inc. 2012 Second Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended in June 2020 (the "2012 Plan"), authorizes up to 6,613,900 shares for issuance of options, shares or rights to acquire our Class A common stock and allows for, among other things, operating income and comparable store sales growth targets as additional performance goals that may be used in connection with performance-based awards granted under the 2012 Plan. As of May 2, 2020, there were 430,940 shares still available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. Following the amendment of the 2012 Plan on June 10, 2020, there were 2,605,940 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.
Stock Options
We grant stock options to certain employees that give them the right to acquire our Class A common stock under the 2012 Plan. The exercise price of options granted is equal to the closing price per share of our stock at the date of grant. The nonqualified options vest at a rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date provided that the award recipient continues to be employed by us through each of those vesting dates, and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the fiscal period and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal period. The market value per share was $5.57 at May 2, 2020.
The stock option awards were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and our expected annual dividend yield, if any. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We will issue shares of Class A common stock when the options are exercised.
The fair values of stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 were estimated on the grant date using the following assumptions.

(1)
The expected option term of the awards represents the estimated time that options are expected to be outstanding based upon historical option data.
(2)
Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the awards.
(3)
The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term as the expected life of the stock option as of the grant date.
(4)
We do not currently have a dividend policy and we do not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends on our common stock at this time.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") represent restricted shares of our common stock issued upon the date of grant in which the recipient's rights in the stock are restricted until the shares are vested. Under the 2012 Plan, we grant RSAs to independent members of our Board of Directors. RSAs granted to our Board of Directors vest at a rate of 50% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date provided that the respective award recipient continues to serve on our Board of Directors through each of those vesting dates. We determine the fair value of RSAs based upon the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant.
A summary of non-vested RSAs at May 2, 2020 and February 1, 2020 are presented below:

Line of Credit
Line of Credit
Our amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") provides for a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate charged on borrowings is selected at our discretion at the time of draw between the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus 0.75%, or at the Bank’s prime rate. The agreement allows for the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to stockholders, subject to certain limitations. On February 12, 2020 and February 27, 2019, we paid a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share to all holders of record of issued and outstanding shares of both our Class A and Class B common stock. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. As a sub-feature under the credit agreement, the Bank may also issue stand-by and/or commercial letters of credit up to $15.0 million.
In March 2020, we borrowed $23.7 million under our revolving credit facility, which represented the maximum borrowings permitted thereunder. As of June 1, 2020, the variable interest rate on these borrowings was based on LIBOR plus 75 basis points, or 0.9% per annum. On June 26, 2020, the interest rate will adjust based on our choice of available LIBOR rates at that time.
We are required to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants in accordance with the line of credit. The financial covenants require certain levels of profitability, leverage and assets, such as: (i) income before income taxes not less than $1.0 million, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis; (ii) a maximum "Funded Debt to EBITDAR" ratio of 4.00 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, defined as the sum of total debt, capital leases and annual rent expense multiplied by six divided by the sum of net income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and annual rent expense; (iii) a minimum "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" not less than 1.25 to 1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter on a trailing 12-month basis, with the ratio defined as (a) EBITDAR minus cash taxes, dividends, distributions, redemptions and repurchases of equity interest, divided by (b) the aggregate of the current maturity of long-term debt, capitalized lease payments, interest expense and rent expense; (iv) minimum eligible inventory, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $50.0 million as of the end of each quarter; and (v) not more than $50.0 million in allowable investments in fixed assets in any fiscal year. In addition, pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay any and all indebtedness, obligations, assessments and taxes when due, subject to certain limitations.
As of May 2, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our credit agreement, other than with respect to (i) the financial covenants related to our Fixed Coverage Ratio and Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio as of the fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2020, and (ii) the covenant that we pay any and all obligations when due on the basis of our non-payment of our contractual rental obligations pursuant to our store leases during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 2, 2020, our Fixed Coverage Ratio was 0.8 to 1.0, and our Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio was 4.7. The Bank has provided a limited waiver with respect to each of these violations. We are currently in discussions with the Bank to amend the credit agreement to obtain covenant relief with respect to these covenants.
In August 2019, we entered into an amendment to increase the standby letter of credit from $1.1 million to $1.3 million. The standby letter of credit was established for security against insurance claims as required by our workers' compensation insurance policy.  There has been no activity or borrowings under this letter of credit since its inception.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
(Loss) Income Per Share
(Loss) Income Per Share
Income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise, unamortized compensation and hypothetical excess tax benefits, if any, on share-based awards are assumed to be used by us to purchase the common shares at the average market price during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock represent outstanding stock options and RSAs.
The components of basic and diluted (loss) income per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
