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 second 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;
pricing pressures; liquidity; the ability to achieve anticipated cost savings, and to not exceed anticipated costs, associated with organizational changes and investments,
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
organization; the cost of labor, merchandise and other costs and expenses; potential supply chain disruption due to trade restrictions, and other factors such as natural
disasters, pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, political instability, labor disturbances, product recalls, financial or operational instability of suppliers or carriers,
and other items; the ability to find suitable locations at acceptable occupancy costs and other terms to support the Company's plans for new stores; the ability to
