Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and store closures, share-based compensation, and changes in deferred taxes, and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities decreased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $36.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $36.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was the result of a decrease in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by net income as adjusted for non-cash items.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $6.6 million, or 29.5%, to $15.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $22.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of decreases in acquisitions of property and equipment of $6.1 million and other intangibles of $0.2 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2024, and was attributed to the timing of new store openings, relocations/remodels, and software projects under development.

We plan to spend approximately $20.1 million to $28.1 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal year 2025 primarily in connection with expected new store openings and store relocations/remodels.
