What improved

  • Revenue increased 11.4% versus the comparable filing period.

What weakened

  • Operating cash flow covered only 0.13x net income.

Filing receipts

The dollar growth in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased store payroll expenses to support the growth in Retail segment store net sales, as well as increased marketing expenses to support customer growth and increased net sales in the Retail and Subscription segments.

The increase in working capital as of April 30, 2026, as compared to April 30, 2025, was primarily due to an increase in inventory and the timing of disbursements, partially offset by a decrease in cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities.

The $151.8 million increase was attributable to a $90.4 million, or 8.0%, increase in Retail segment net sales, a $42.9 million, or 34.5%, increase in Subscription segment net sales and an $18.5 million, or 24.8%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales.
