Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of business — The Brand House Collective, Inc., formerly known as Kirkland’s, Inc., (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a multi-brand merchandising, supply chain and retail operator, managing a portfolio of iconic home and family brands including Kirkland’s Home and brands associated with Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (formerly known as Beyond, Inc., “Beyond”) such as Bed Bath & Beyond Home, Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy Baby, and Overstock. The Company operated 306 stores in 35 states as of November 1, 2025, as well as e-commerce websites, www.kirklands.com and www.bedbathandbeyondhome.com.

 

Principles of consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of The Brand House Collective, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Kirkland’s Stores, Inc., Kirkland’s DC, Inc., and Kirkland’s Texas, LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025.

 

Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 1, 2025 are not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality factors.

 

Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks. Accordingly, fiscal 2025 represents the 52 weeks ending on January 31, 2026, and fiscal 2024 represents the 52 weeks ended on February 1, 2025.

 

Use of estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than those at fiscal year-end.

 

Changes in estimates are recognized in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include, but are not limited to, impairment assessments on long-lived assets, inventory reserves, self-insurance reserves, and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

 

Jackson, Tennessee distribution center — On May 20, 2025, a tornado impacted the Company’s leased Jackson, Tennessee distribution center, causing damage to the Company’s assets and disruptions to operations, particularly with respect to its e-commerce channel. The Company maintains insurance policies to cover the repair or replacement of the assets that suffered loss or damage, and is working closely with its insurance carriers to ascertain the full amount of insurance proceeds, net of the deductible on the policies, due to the Company as a result of the damages and the loss suffered. The Company’s insurance policies also provide coverage for interruption to the business, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company incurred expenses of $2.0 million, net of insurance proceeds related to damages caused by the tornado, which included the write-off of damaged inventory which is included as a component of costs of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period ended November 1, 2025, and freight to move product to temporary storage facilities and professional fees to secure and repair the site which is recorded as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. At this time, the full amount of combined property damage and business interruption costs and recoveries cannot be estimated, and accordingly, no additional amounts, including amounts for potential insurance recoveries, have been recorded as of November 1, 2025.

 

Sale of internally developed intangible assets - On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Existing Purchase Agreement with Beyond that increased the purchase price for the sale of the Kirkland’s brand related intellectual property from $5.0 million to $10.0 million. The Company recorded a gain associated with this agreement that is included in operating loss in the 2025 statements of operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 1, 2025.

 

Going concern assessment and managements plans — The Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows have been materially adversely impacted by strategic and macroeconomic factors during the last several fiscal years. The persistently challenging home furnishings retail environment, including reduced consumer spending in the category and increased price sensitivity, has significantly impacted the Company’s performance and liquidity levels. Operating loss and negative cash flows from operations continue to reduce the Company’s liquidity levels. For the 39-week period ended November 1, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $35.7 million and net cash used in operating activities of $36.0 million compared to a net loss of $31.0 million and net cash used in operating activities of $39.0 million in the prior year period. Further, as of December 15, 2025, the Company had $12.2 million available for borrowing, after the minimum required excess availability covenant, under the revolving credit facility and $20.0 million available to borrow under the Beyond Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments (defined below).

 

When conditions and events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans to determine if it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within the assessment period and, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions and events to alleviate substantial doubt. The Company’s plans are focused on improving its operating results and liquidity through sales growth, cost reductions and additional financing. Throughout fiscal 2024 and 2025, the Company has implemented expense reductions to streamline its cost structure and improve its liquidity profile. The Company believes these actions are necessary as part of improving its profitability and liquidity trajectory, while minimizing any disruption to the Company’s focus on its strategic initiatives and the overall customer experience. The cost-savings initiatives included a reduction in corporate overhead, store payroll, marketing and third-party technology expenses. Additionally, during the 39-week period ended November 1, 2025 and subsequently, the Company has executed a series of debt, equity, and asset sale transactions with Beyond with the aim of increasing its liquidity position.

 

The Company’s going concern assessment includes the preparation of cash flow forecasts considering the completed financing transactions, annualized savings from cost-savings initiatives and the impact on profitability and cash flow from operations related to both the current elevated tariffs and the likelihood of challenging macroeconomic conditions that further constrain consumer demand, and these factors collectively suggest insufficient liquidity in the near-term. Due to these uncertainties and the consequences they may have on the projected cash flow in the near-term, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As of February 1, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement (as defined below). However, the Company’s conclusion that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern required an explanatory paragraph in the report of the independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, which resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under the revolving credit facility and the Beyond Credit Agreement on May 2, 2025, when the fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC. On May 7, 2025, the Company received waivers from the lenders under both facilities. As such, the Company has classified the outstanding borrowings under these agreements based on the contractual maturities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 1, 2025, while most of the Company’s debt was recorded as current as of February 1, 2025.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or charges that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, such as charges related to impairment of the Company’s assets, the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or other similar adjustments.

 

Correction of prior interim period immaterial error – During the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended November 1, 2025, management identified an immaterial error related to the accounting for the debt extinguishment with a related party that occurred during the quarter ended August 2, 2025.  The immaterial error does not impact the Company’s results of operations, but did result in an understatement of related party debt of $5.2 million and an overstatement of common stock for a corresponding amount as of August 2, 2025 as the gain on debt extinguishment from a related party presented within the condensed consolidated statement of shareholder's (deficit) equity of $1.2 million should have been recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment with a related party of $4.0 million.  As the error is considered immaterial, it has been corrected in the current interim period.  Management believes that this correction does not affect the overall financial position or results of operations for the current period.
