forward looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 including, but not limited to, the
Company's progress and anticipated progress towards its long-term objectives, as well as more generally the status of its future liquidity and financial condition and its
outlook for the Company's fiscal 2021 first quarter and for its 2021 fiscal year. Many of these forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as may,
will, expect, anticipate, approximate, estimate, assume, continue, model, project, plan, goal, preliminary, and similar words and phrases, although the absence of those
words does not necessarily mean that statements are not forward-looking. The Company's actual results and future financial condition may differ materially from those
expressed in any such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Such factors include, without limitation: general economic conditions including the
housing market, a challenging overall macroeconomic environment and related changes in the retailing environment; risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and
the governmental responses to it, including its impacts across the Company's businesses on demand and operations, as well as on the operations of the Company's
suppliers and other business partners, and the effectiveness of the Company's actions taken in response to these risks; consumer preferences, spending habits and
adoption of new technologies; demographics and other macroeconomic factors that may impact the level of spending for the types of merchandise sold by the
Company; civil disturbances and terrorist acts; unusual weather patterns and natural disasters; competition from existing and potential competitors across all channels;

including the Company's strategic restructuring program and store network optimization strategies; the ability to attract and retain qualified employees in all areas of the
