cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include certain forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and our individual businesses (including, without limitation, sales, expenses, margins and earnings) and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "likely," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "believe," "estimate" and similar expressions can be used to identify these forward-looking statements. Actual results, including those regarding our performance outlook for Fiscal 2021 and beyond, could differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and a number of factors may adversely affect the forward-looking statements and our future results, liquidity, capital resources or prospects. These include, but are not limited to, risks related to public health and safety issues, including, for example, the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") outbreak which began in 2019, our ability to keep stores open, operate stores safely and ensure the safety of customers and employees, whether there are periods of increases in the number of COVID-19 cases in locations in which we operate, further closures of stores due to COVID-19, weakness in consumer demand and store and shopping mall traffic, restrictions on operations imposed by government entities and landlords, changes in public safety and health requirements, our ability to adequately staff our stores, limitations on our ability to provide adequate personal protective equipment to our employees, our ability to maintain social distancing requirements, stores closures and effect on our business as a result of civil disturbances, the level and timing of promotional activity necessary to maintain inventories at appropriate levels, our ability to recognize deferred tax assets and expected tax and cash benefits associated with tax accounting method changes permitted by the CARES Act, the imposition of tariffs on products imported by us or our vendors as well as the ability and costs to move production of products in response to tariffs, our ability to obtain from suppliers products that are in-demand on a timely basis and effectively manage disruptions in product supply or distribution, including disruptions as a result of COVID-19, unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs, and other factors affecting the cost of products, the effects of the British decision to exit the European Union and other sources of weakness in the U.K. market, the effectiveness of our omnichannel initiatives, costs associated with changes in minimum wage and overtime requirements, wage pressure in the markets in which we operate, weakness in the consumer economy and retail industry, competition and fashion trends in our markets, risks related to the potential for terrorist events, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers,  retained liabilities associated with divestitures of businesses including potential liabilities under leases as the prior tenant or as a guarantor of certain leases, and changes in the timing of holidays or in the onset of seasonal weather affecting period-to-period sales comparisons. Additional factors that could cause differences from expectations include the ability to renew leases in existing stores and control or lower occupancy costs, and to conduct required remodeling or refurbishment on schedule and at expected expense levels, our ability to eliminate stranded costs associated with dispositions, our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, including rent savings, deterioration in the performance of individual businesses or of our market value relative to our book value, resulting in impairments of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets or intangible assets or other adverse financial consequences and the timing and amount of such impairments or other consequences, unexpected changes to the market for our shares or for the retail sector in general, costs and reputational harm as a result of disruptions in our business or information technology systems either by security breaches and incidents or by potential problems associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems, uncertainty regarding the expected phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), and the cost and outcome of litigation, investigations and environmental matters that involve us.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as such statements speak only as of the date they were made and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements. The most important factors which could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are set forth in our description of risk factors in Item 1A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020, and Item 1A in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

The events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.
