(1)Additions to the allowance for credit losses represent periodic net charges to the allowance, inclusive of any recoveries of receivables previously written off. The addition to the allowance for credit losses in fiscal 2024, includes a charge for uncollectible receivables due to the bankruptcy of Bed, Bath & Beyond. In fiscal 2026, the addition to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance was primarily due to downward revisions to our internal forecasts utilized in our impairment testing during fiscal 2026 impacting the realizability of net deferred tax assets recorded in connection with the Company’s intangible asset reorganization in fiscal 2025 and intangible asset impairment charges recognized in fiscal 2026. In fiscal 2025, the addition to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance was principally due to changes in the value of operating loss carryforwards not expected to be used in future years. In fiscal 2024, the addition to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance was primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards recorded in fiscal 2024 as a result of the Bermuda corporate income tax enactment that are not expected to be recoverable, partially offset by changes in estimates of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
(2)Deductions to the allowance for credit losses represent uncollectible balances written off. The deduction to the allowance for credit losses in fiscal 2025 was primarily due to the write-off of uncollectible Bed, Bath & Beyond balances.
