Description of Business	Description of Business Stitch Fix, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company”) delivers one-to-one personalization to our clients through the combination of data science and human judgment. Our stylists hand select items from a broad range of merchandise. Stylists pair their own judgment with our analysis of client and merchandise data to provide a personalized shipment of apparel, shoes, and accessories suited to each client’s needs. We call each of these unique shipments a Fix. After receiving a Fix, our clients purchase the items they want to keep and return the other items. We also offer a direct-buy functionality that allows clients the flexibility of purchasing items outside of a Fix. Through direct buy, clients are offered previously purchased items in different colors, sizes, or prints, as well as a personalized set of algorithmically generated items. No styling fee is charged for direct purchases. We are incorporated in Delaware and have operations in the United States and the United Kingdom. COVID-19 Update We are closely monitoring the effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak, which was declared a global pandemic in March 2020, and its impact on our business, the full extent of which will depend on factors such as the length of time the outbreak continues; how federal, state and local governments are responding; the impact of the crisis on the economy and consumer behavior; and the effect on our clients, employees, vendors, and other partners. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we temporarily closed three of our fulfillment centers, operated at significantly reduced capacity for much of the quarter, and reduced our marketing in light of this reduced capacity. We do not anticipate any impairments with respect to long-lived assets or short-term and long-term investments that would have a material impact on our financial statements. We also believe our financial resources will allow us to manage the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment balances, and the borrowing available under our senior revolving credit facility, if needed, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, the CARES Act permits net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for tax years beginning before 2021 and allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. We provided for an estimated effect of the CARES Act in our financial statements for the period ended May 2, 2020.
