General | NOTE 1 - GENERAL : The condensed consolidated financial statements as of May 3, 2025 and for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 have been prepared from the accounting records of The Cato Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), and all amounts shown are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise noted. The results of the interim period may not be indicative of the results expected for the entire year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025. Amounts as of February 1, 2025 have been derived from the audited annual financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On February 16, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of land held for investment. The sale resulted in a net gain of $ 3.2 million and is included in Interest and other income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the period ended May 4, 2024.
