Citi Trends, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
May 4, 2019
Citi Trends, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) operate as a value-priced retailer of urban fashion apparel and accessories for the entire family. As of May 4, 2019, the Company operated 561 stores in 32 states.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 4, 2019 and the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all required year-end disclosures. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of May 4, 2019 and February 2, 2019, and its results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2020.
The following contains references to fiscal years 2019 and 2018, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, respectively. Fiscal 2019 and 2018 both have 52-week accounting periods.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates made by management include those used in the valuation of inventory, property and equipment, self-insurance liabilities, leases and income taxes. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based on such periodic evaluations.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents/Concentration of Credit Risk
For purposes of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be high credit quality banks and institutional money market funds. The Company maintains cash accounts that exceed federally insured limits.
Basic earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities, such as nonvested restricted
7
stock. During loss periods, diluted loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.
The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation arrangements is accounted for using the treasury stock method. The Company includes as assumed proceeds the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized. For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, there were 128,000 and 108,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share for the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. Fair value is established according to a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. Level 3 inputs are given the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy.
As of May 4, 2019, the Company’s investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands):

There were no changes among the levels in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019.
Fair market values of Level 2 investments are determined by management with the assistance of a third party pricing service. Because quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities.
6. Revolving Line of Credit
On October 27, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year, $50 million credit facility with Bank of America. The facility was amended on August 18, 2015, extending the maturity date to August 18, 2020. The amended facility provides a $50 million credit commitment and a $25 million uncommitted “accordion” feature that under certain circumstances could allow the Company to increase the size of the facility to $75 million. Borrowings, if any, under the facility will bear interest (a) for LIBOR Rate Loans, at LIBOR plus either 1.25% or 1.5%, or (b) for Base Rate Loans, at a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate plus either 0.25% or 0.5%, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus either 0.75% or 1.0%, or (iii) LIBOR plus either 1.25% or 1.5%, based in any such case on the average daily availability for borrowings under the facility. The facility continues to be secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and related assets, but not its real estate, fixtures and equipment, and it contains one financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is applicable and tested only in certain circumstances. The facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.25% and permits the payment of cash dividends subject to certain limitations, including a requirement that there were no borrowings outstanding
9
in the 30 days prior to the dividend payment and no borrowings are expected in the 30 days subsequent to the payment. The Company has had no borrowings under the credit facility.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
U.S. GAAP requires companies to calculate income taxes by applying their estimated full-year tax rate in each interim period unless the estimated full-year tax rate is not reliably predictable. For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, the Company utilized this annual effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes.
For the three months ended May 4, 2019, the effective income tax rate was 14.2%. This compares with a rate of 18.7% for the three months ended May 5, 2018. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due primarily to lower pretax income compared with the prior year, along with an increase in federal and state tax credits.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company from time to time is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business, including claims by customers, employees or former employees. Once it becomes probable that the Company will incur costs in connection with a legal proceeding and such costs can be reasonably estimated, it establishes appropriate reserves. While legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties and the outcome of any such matter is not predictable, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against it that it expects to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
10. Stock Repurchase Program and Cash Dividends
Repurchases of Common Stock
On November 28, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program that authorized the purchase of up to $25.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, the Company repurchased 82,312 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.6 million. At May 4, 2019, $8.0 million remained available for purchase under this program.
10
Dividends
On February 12, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per common share, which was paid on March 19, 2019 to stockholders of record as of March 5, 2019. On May 21, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per common share payable on June 18, 2019 to stockholders of record as of June 4, 2019. Any determination to declare and pay cash dividends for future quarters will be made by the Board of Directors.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016–02” or “Topic 842”) which replaced the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The new standard established a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on February 3, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2019. As part of the implementation process, the Company assessed its lease arrangements, evaluated practical expedient and accounting policy elections and implemented necessary modifications to its existing lease system. In adopting the new lease standard, the Company elected the optional transition method which applied the standard as of the effective date but did not apply the standard to the comparative periods previously presented in the consolidated financial statements. The new standard also provided optional practical expedients for transition, which the Company elected, which permitted it to not reassess prior conclusions regarding lease classification, identification or initial direct costs. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy which permitted it to not apply the recognition requirements of the new standard to short-term leases (leases with terms of 12 months or less). The Company also elected an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. The Company did not elect an optional hindsight practical expedient.
The Company leases all of its retail store locations and certain office space and equipment. All leases are classified as operating leases. Under the new guidance, right–of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate which approximates the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the total lease payments under similar terms. The incremental borrowing rate for existing leases as of the opening balance sheet date was based on the remaining terms of the leases. The incremental borrowing rate for all new or amended leases is based upon the lease terms which include the contractual period obligated by the leases plus any additional periods covered by options available to extend the leases if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options. Lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $133.6 million and $141.0 million, respectively, as of February 3, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities was primarily due to reclassification of lease incentives, as well as impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets for stores previously impaired as of the effective date. Lease impairment, net of the related deferred taxes, totaled approximately $2.1 million and is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings at the transition date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of clothing and accessories to its customers with the Company’s performance obligations satisfied immediately when the customer pays for their purchase and receives the merchandise. Sales taxes collected by the Company from customers are excluded from revenue. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized at the point in time when the merchandise is paid for and control of the goods is transferred to the customer, thereby satisfying the Company’s performance obligation. Non-refundable layaway service fees are recognized
11
in revenue when collected by the Company from customers. The Company defers revenue from the sale of gift cards and recognizes the associated revenue upon the redemption of the cards by customers to purchase merchandise.
Sales Returns
The Company allows customers to return merchandise for up to thirty days after the date of sale. Expected refunds to customers are recorded based on estimated margin using historical return information. Under ASU 2014-09, the Company recorded an estimated refund liability of $0.4 million, included in the line item “Accrued expenses,” and the carrying value of a return asset of $0.2 million, presented separately from inventory, included in the line item “Prepaid and other current assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of May 4, 2019 and February 2, 2019.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s retail operations represent a single operating segment based on the way the Company manages its business. Operating decisions and resource allocation decisions are made at the Company level in order to maintain a consistent retail store presentation. The Company’s retail stores sell similar products, use similar processes to sell those products, and sell their products to similar classes of customers.
In the following table, the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by major product line. The percentage of net sales related to each classification of its merchandise assortment for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and 2018 was approximately:

The Company leases its retail store locations and certain office space and equipment. The Company analyzes all leases at inception to determine if a right-of-use asset and lease liability should be recognized. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and leases with mutual termination clauses are not included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments as of the lease commencement date, or as of the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 for leases existing at the adoption date. The right-of-use asset recognized is based on the lease liability adjusted for prepaid and deferred rent and unamortized lease incentives.
Total lease cost is comprised of operating lease costs, short-term lease costs, and variable lease costs, which include rent paid as a percentage of sales, common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance for the Company’s real estate leases. Lease expense for the first thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for specific historical information, many of the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may express or imply projections of revenues or expenditures, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, statements of future economic performance, capital allocation expectations or statements regarding the outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation. These, and similar statements, are forward-looking statements concerning matters that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual performance of the Company to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. All forward-looking information should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “objective,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “could,” “will likely result,” or “will continue” and similar words and expressions generally identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such language. The Company believes the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
The factors that may result in actual results differing from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: transportation and distribution delays or interruptions; changes in freight rates; the Company’s ability to negotiate effectively the cost and purchase of merchandise; inventory risks due to shifts in market demand; the Company’s ability to gauge fashion trends and changing consumer preferences; changes in consumer spending on apparel; changes in product mix; interruptions in suppliers’ businesses; a deterioration in general economic conditions, whether caused by acts of war or terrorism or other factors; the results of pending or threatened litigation; temporary changes in demand due to weather patterns; seasonality of the Company’s business; delays associated with building, opening and operating new stores; delays associated with building, opening or expanding new or existing distribution centers; and other factors described in the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any amendments thereto and in the other documents the Company files with the SEC, including reports on Form 8-K.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are advised, however, to read any further disclosures the Company may make on related subjects in its public disclosures or documents filed with the SEC, including reports on Form 8-K.
Overview
We are a value-priced retailer of urban fashion apparel and accessories for the entire family. Our merchandise offerings are designed to appeal to the fashion preferences of value-conscious consumers, particularly African-Americans. We operated 561 stores in both urban and rural markets in 32 states as of May 4, 2019.
Accounting Periods
The following discussion contains references to fiscal years 2019 and 2018, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, respectively. Fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 both have 52-week accounting periods. This discussion and analysis should be read with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the Company’s financial performance is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein. The nature of the Company’s business is seasonal. Historically, sales in the first and
14
fourth quarters have been higher than sales achieved in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. Expenses and, to a greater extent, operating income, vary by quarter. Results of a period shorter than a full year may not be indicative of results expected for the entire year. Furthermore, the seasonal nature of the Company’s business may affect comparisons between periods.
Key Operating Statistics
We measure performance using key operating statistics. One of the main performance measures we use is comparable store sales growth. We define a comparable store as a store that has been opened for an entire fiscal year. Therefore, a store will not be considered a comparable store until its 13th month of operation at the earliest or until its 24th month at the latest. As an example, stores opened in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 are not considered comparable stores in fiscal 2019. Relocated and expanded stores are included in the comparable store sales results. We also use other operating statistics, most notably average sales per store, to measure our performance. As we typically occupy existing space in established shopping centers rather than sites built specifically for our stores, store square footage (and therefore sales per square foot) varies by store. We focus on overall store sales volume as the critical driver of profitability.
In addition to sales, we measure cost of sales as a percentage of sales and store operating expenses, with a particular focus on labor, as a percentage of sales. These results translate into store level contribution, which we use to evaluate overall performance of each individual store. Finally, we monitor corporate expenses against budgeted amounts. All of the statistics discussed above are critical components of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA (comprised of EBITDA, as adjusted for non-cash asset impairment expense and expenses related to our proxy contest), which are considered our most important operating statistics. We believe that excluding proxy contest expenses from our financial results reflects operating results that are more indicative of our ongoing operating performance while improving comparability to prior and future periods, and as such, provides an enhanced understanding of our past financial performance and prospects for the future.
Although non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information on an operating cash flow basis, they are limited measures in that they exclude the impact of cash requirements for capital expenditures, income taxes and interest expense. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be used as supplements to results of operations and cash flows as reported under U.S. GAAP and should not be used as a singular measure of operating performance or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP results. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018
Net Sales. Net sales decreased $6.0 million, or 2.8%, to $205.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 from $211.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018. The decrease in sales was due to a 4.5% decrease in comparable store sales and the impact of closing seven stores since last year’s first quarter, partially offset by the opening of 15 new stores since last year’s first quarter. The decrease in comparable store sales was reflected in a decrease in customer transactions of less than 5% and a 1% decrease in the average number of items per transaction, partially offset by an increase in the average unit sale of more than 1%. Comparable store sales changes by major merchandise class were as follows in the first quarter of 2019: Home +5%; Accessories +2%; Men’s -5%; Children’s -9%; and Ladies’ -11%.
The 4.5% comparable store sales decrease totaled $9.3 million, while store opening and closing activity resulted in a net sales increase of $3.3 million.
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation). Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation) decreased $1.2 million, or 0.9%, to $128.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $129.4 million in last year’s first quarter. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 62.5% in the first quarter of 2019 from 61.3% in last year’s first quarter, due primarily to a 90 basis points increase in merchandise markdowns, as more markdowns were taken in this year’s first quarter in response to the challenging sales environment. Freight costs increased 30 basis points as a result of continued pressures in the trucking industry.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, to $63.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $63.0 million in last year’s first quarter due primarily to $1.0 million of expenses incurred in connection with a proxy contest, along with the impact on expenses of opening 15 new stores since last year’s first quarter and normal inflationary pressure on expenses such as rent and payroll, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in incentive compensation expense resulting from less favorable earnings results in relation to target. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 30.9% in the first quarter of 2019 from 29.9% in the first quarter of 2018.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense decreased $0.4 million, or 7.2%, to $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2018.
16
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $1.3 million, or 50.6%, to $1.3 million in this year’s first quarter from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to a decrease in pretax income, along with a decrease in the effective income tax rate from 18.7% to 14.2%.
Net Income. Net income decreased $3.5 million, or 31.1%, to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures for new and existing stores, distribution infrastructure and information systems. In addition, in November 2018, we initiated a share repurchase program of up to $25 million and, in the first quarter of 2019, repurchased shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.6 million. In recent years, we have met these cash requirements using cash flow from operations and short-term trade credit. We expect to be able to meet future cash requirements with cash flow from operations, short-term trade credit, existing balances of cash and investment securities and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility described in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item1 of this report.
Current Financial Condition. As of May 4, 2019, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $29.5 million compared to $17.9 million as of February 2, 2019. Additionally, we had $43.1 million and $7.8 million of short-term and long-term investment securities, respectively, as of May 4, 2019, compared with $50.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2019. These securities are comprised of bank certificates of deposit and obligations of the U.S. Treasury, states and municipalities. Inventory represented 30.0% of our total assets as of May 4, 2019, compared to 46.9% as of February 2, 2019. Management’s ability to manage our inventory can have a significant impact on our cash flows from operations during a given interim period or fiscal year. In addition, inventory purchases can be seasonal in nature, such as the purchase of warm-weather or Christmas-related merchandise.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities . Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 compared to $10.5 million in the same period of 2018. Sources of cash provided during the first quarter of 2019 included net income adjusted for non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization of operating lease right of use assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, deferred income taxes and stock-based compensation expense, totaling $25.0 million (compared to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2018). Other significant sources of cash in the first quarter of 2019 were (1) an $8.6 million decrease in inventory (compared to a $12.4 million decrease in the first quarter of 2018) due to apparel retail seasonality which typically results in having more inventory at the beginning of the spring selling season than at the end; and (2) a $1.2 million change in the income tax payable/receivable (compared to a $2.3 million change in the first quarter of 2018) due to income tax expense being accrued on first quarter pretax income while no estimated tax payments were due during the quarter.
Significant uses of cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 2019 were (1) a $11.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities (compared with a $1.4 million decrease in the first quarter of 2018) due primarily to payments of operating lease liabilities recorded due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02; (2) a $9.6 million decrease in accounts payable (compared to a $12.2 million decrease in the first quarter of 2018) due primarily to the decline in inventory discussed above; and (3) a $4.6 million decrease in accrued compensation (compared to a $7.9 million decrease in the first quarter of 2018) due to our balance sheet as of the end of the first quarter of 2019 including accrued payroll for only one week, while our 2018 year-end balance sheet included accrued payroll for two weeks due to the timing of our bi-weekly payroll, together with payment in the first quarter of 2019 of incentive compensation accrued in fiscal 2018.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash provided by investing activities was $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to cash used of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. Cash used for purchases of property and equipment totaled $2.3 million and $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Sales/redemptions of investment securities, net of purchases, provided cash of $8.3 million and $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
17
Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million and $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, with the decrease due primarily to the repurchase of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.6 million and $2.7 million during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Cash Requirements
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of: (i) cash and cash equivalents (which equaled $29.5 million as of May 4, 2019); (ii) short-term and long-term investment securities (which equaled $43.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as of May 4, 2019); (iii) short-term trade credit; (iv) cash generated from operations on an ongoing basis as we sell our merchandise inventory; and (v) a $50 million revolving credit facility (under which we have no borrowings outstanding). Trade credit represents a significant source of financing for inventory purchases and arises from customary payment terms and trade practices with our vendors. Historically, our principal liquidity requirements have been for working capital and capital expenditure needs.
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On February 3, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). See Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on its impact.
There have been no other material changes to the Critical Accounting Policies outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019.
18
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 4, 2019 pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information has been accumulated and communicated to our management, including the officers who certify our financial reports, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, we implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In connection with its adoption, we implemented changes to our accounting policies, operational processes and internal controls to ensure compliance with the new standard.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
19
We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business, including claims by customers, employees or former employees. Once it becomes probable that we will incur costs in connection with a legal proceeding and such costs can be reasonably estimated, we establish appropriate reserves. While legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties and the outcome of any such matter is not predictable, we are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against us that we expect to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described under the section “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019.
