Effective management of the performance of our stores is a key factor in the success of our business. Our ability to develop new concepts and brand extensions is a significant component of our business strategy. Our results of operations are sensitive to, and may be adversely affected by, general economic conditions and overall consumer confidence. Our comparable store sales and operating results may fluctuate. Our gross margin may be impacted by the sales mix between our brands or within product categories. Our DTC operations include risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We significantly rely on our ability to implement and maintain our information technology systems. We rely on one location to distribute goods to our stores and fulfill DTC orders.
