"anticipate," "estimate," "approximate," "expect," "objective,"
"goal," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "should,"
"may," "target," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook" and similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
Similarly, descriptions of objectives, strategies, plans, goals or

statements relate to the expectations of management as to future
occurrences and trends, including statements expressing optimism or
pessimism about future operating results or events and projected
sales, earnings, capital expenditures and business strategy.
Forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions
concerning future conditions that may ultimately prove to be
inaccurate. Forward-looking statements are and will be based upon
management's then-current views and assumptions regarding future
events and operating performance and are applicable only as of the
dates of such statements. Although the company believes the
expectations expressed in forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions within the bounds of knowledge,
forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks,
uncertainties and other factors, any one or a combination of which
could materially affect business, financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements that the company makes herein and in
other reports and releases are not guarantees of future performance
and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in
such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including, but not limited to, developments related to the COVID-19
coronavirus pandemic, current economic and credit conditions, the
cost of goods, the inability to successfully execute strategic
initiatives, competitive pressures, economic pressures on customers
and the company, the availability of brand name closeout
merchandise, trade restrictions, freight costs, the
risks discussed in the Risk Factors section of the company's
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other factors discussed
from time to time in other filings with the SEC, including
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
This release should be read in conjunction with such filings, and
you should consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other
factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further
disclosures the company makes on related subjects in public
