Key risks (from latest filing)
["Merchandise cost inflation from tariffs, freight, fuel, and wage pressures limits pricing flexibility while customers expect core $1.25 value proposition","Heavy reliance on imported goods (40% direct, significant indirect) creates exposure to trade restrictions, geopolitical disruptions, and currency fluctuations, particularly from China sourcing","Vendor supply disruptions, self-insured claims inflation, and minimum wage increases across states and localities threaten profitability if cost mitigation strategies fail"]
