LAKELAND INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Business

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries, doing business as "Lakeland Fire + Safety" ("Lakeland," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us"), manufacture and sell a comprehensive line of fire services and industrial protective clothing and accessories for the industrial and first responder markets. Our products are sold globally by our in-house sales teams, our customer service group, and authorized independent sales representatives to a strategic global network of selective fire safety and industrial distributors and wholesale partners. Our authorized distributors supply end users, such as integrated oil, chemical/petrochemical, automobile, transportation, steel, glass, construction, smelting, cleanroom, janitorial, pharmaceutical, and high technology electronics manufacturers, as well as scientific, medical laboratories and the utilities industry. In addition, we supply federal, state and local governmental agencies and departments, including fire and law enforcement, airport crash rescue units, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control. Internationally, we sell to a mix of end-users directly and to industrial distributors, depending on the particular country and market. In addition to the United States, sales are made into more than 50 foreign countries, the majority of which were into China, the European Economic Community ("EEC"), Canada, Chile, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, India, Uruguay, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

2. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that management considers necessary to fairly state the Company's results. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, or for any future period. The January 31, 2025, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2025.

In this Form 10-Q, (a) "FY" means fiscal year; thus, for example, FY26 refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, (b) "Q" refers to quarter; thus, for example, Q1 FY26 refers to the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, (c) "Balance Sheet" refers to the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and (d) "Statement of Operations" refers to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates ("ASUs"). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

Segment Reporting

The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures for the year ended January 31, 2025 and applied it retrospectively for the prior period presented. See "Note 12. Segment Reporting."

------

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This guidance requires a public entity to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and this guidance should be applied prospectively but there is the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

3. Investments and Acquisitions

Acquisition of Veridian

On December 16, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of U.S.-based Veridian Limited (Veridian) for cash consideration of approximately $26.1 million subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions. Founded in 1992, Veridian is a leading provider of firefighter protective apparel, including fire and rescue garments, gloves and boots.

Veridian's operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Veridian's operating results and assets, including acquired intangibles and goodwill, are reported as part of United States in our geographic segment reporting.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the Veridian assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Net working capital acquired, including cash of $0.5 million | $8843 |
|  Property, plant and equipment | 1287 |
|  Right of use assets | 768 |
|  Customer relationships | 9950 |
|  Trade names | 1400 |
|  Goodwill | 4956 |
|  Backlog | 200 |
|  Lease liabilities | (768) |
|  Other liabilities assumed | (568) |
|  Total net assets acquired | $26068 |

---

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition were recorded at estimated fair values. Estimated fair values were determined by management, based in part on an independent valuation performed by a third-party valuation specialist. The valuation methods used to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets included the excess earnings approach for customer relationships using customer inputs and contributory charges, the relief from royalty method for trade names and trademarks and technological know-how. Several significant assumptions and estimates were involved in the application of these valuation methods, including forecasted sales volumes and prices, royalty rates, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates, attrition rates and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts were generally based on Veridian's pre-acquisition forecasts. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of Veridian's identifiable intangible assets will be deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired were the acquisition of an assembled workforce, the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Veridian with our operations. Goodwill related to the Veridian acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals of inventory, contractual relationships, tangible assets and intangible assets. Changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

Acquisition of LHD

On July 1, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of LHD Group Deutschland GmbH's fire and rescue business and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Australia (collectively, "LHD") in an all-cash transaction subject to post-closing adjustments and customary holdback provisions.

LHD is a leading provider of firefighter turnout gear, accessories, and personal protective equipment, as well as decontamination, repair and maintenance

services. LHD has 111 employees worldwide and is headquartered in Wesseling, Germany, with operations in Hong Kong and Australia.

Jolly is a leading designer and manufacturer of professional footwear for the firefighting, military, police, and rescue markets. The company is headquartered in Montebelluna, Italy, with manufacturing operations in Bucharest, Romania, and has 150 employees. Jolly's primary customers are based in Europe.

6. Long-Term Debt

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Original Loan Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. ("Lender"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Loan Agreement, dated June 18, 2021 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement, dated March 3, 2023 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 to the Loan Agreement, dated November 30, 2023 ("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No. 4 to the Loan Agreement, dated March 28, 2024 ("Amendment No. 4"), and Amendment No. 5 to the Loan Agreement, dated December 12, 2024 ("Amendment No. 5" and, collectively with Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, and Amendment No. 4, the "Loan Agreement Amendments"; and the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by the Loan Agreement Amendments, the "Amended Loan Agreement").

------

The Amended Loan Agreement provides the Company with a secured revolving credit facility of up to $60.0 million of borrowings from December 12, 2024 through January 31, 2026 and of up to $50.0 million of borrowings from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027 (in each case, such limits remain subject to a reduction to no less than $40.0 million from the net proceeds of equity issuances if the Company raises capital during such periods). The revolving credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. On January 24, 2025, as required by the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company used certain net proceeds of its equity issuance to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement. As a result thereof, the maximum principal amount under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $40 million. The credit facility matures on December 12, 2029.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or an index floor of 1% plus (ii) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement). The Applicable Rate is based upon a funded debt to EBITDA ratio (discussed below) and includes four different levels constituting a SOFR margin range from 1.25% to 2.00%. All outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest under the revolving credit facility is due and payable on the maturity date. On a one-time basis, and subject to there not existing an event of default, the Company may elect to convert up to $5.0 million of the then outstanding principal of the revolving credit facility to a term loan facility with an assumed amortization of 15 years and the same interest rate and maturity date as the revolving credit facility. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for a fee on any difference between the line of credit commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. Such fee is calculated at the Applicable Rate and is payable quarterly.

The Company made certain representations and warranties to the Lender in the Amended Loan Agreement that are customary for credit arrangements of this type. The Company also agreed to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter a minimum "basic fixed charge coverage ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of at least 1.20x and a "funded debt to EBITDA ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) not to exceed 3.5x (with step-downs to 3.25x and 3.0x on February 1, 2026 and February 1, 2027, respectively), in each case for the trailing 12-month period ending with the applicable quarterly reporting period. In addition, the Company has agreed to maintain a springing "asset coverage ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of at least 1.10x, but only to the extent that the maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 3.25x at any reporting period. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of April 30, 2025.

The Company also agreed to certain negative covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement that are customary for credit arrangements of this type, including restrictions regarding the ability of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to conduct business, grant liens, make certain investments, make substantial changes in the present executive or management personnel, and incur additional indebtedness, which negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions. Moreover, the Amended Loan Agreement contains restrictions on the Company's ability to enter into mergers and other business combination transactions and to purchase or acquire other businesses or their assets, although the Company may purchase a business or its assets without the consent of the Lender if the aggregate amount of consideration paid for by the Company is less than $26,000,000 for any individual acquisition or $36,000,000 on a cumulative basis for all such acquisitions or purchases subsequent to the date of Amendment No. 5. The Amended Loan Agreement also authorizes the Company to enter into additional lines of credit or incur liabilities in connection with the acquisitions of foreign subsidiaries in foreign countries where the Lender lacks a physical presence (such amounts not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate).

The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among other things (subject to any applicable cure periods and materiality qualifier), non-payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults under related agreements with the Lender, cross-defaults under agreements for other indebtedness, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and material adverse change. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may terminate all loan commitments, declare all outstanding indebtedness owing under the Amended Loan Agreement and related documents to be immediately due and payable, and may exercise its other rights and remedies provided for under the Amended Loan Agreement.

------

In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company entered into with the Lender (i) a security agreement dated June 25, 2020, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Lender a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the personal property and the intangibles of the Company, and (ii) a pledge agreement, dated June 25, 2020, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Lender a first priority perfected security interest in the stock of its subsidiaries (limited to 65% of those subsidiaries that are considered "controlled foreign subsidiaries" as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations). The Company's obligations to the Lender under the Amended Loan Agreement are also secured by a negative pledge evidenced by a Non-encumbrance Agreement covering the real property owned by the Company in Decatur, Alabama.

As of April 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility and borrowings of $19.8 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and there was $20.2 million of additional available credit under the Loan Agreement. As of January 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility and borrowings of $13.2 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and there was $26.8 million of additional available credit under the Loan Agreement. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 6.47% at April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

Borrowings in UK

On December 31, 2014, the Company and Lakeland Industries Europe, Ltd. ("Lakeland UK"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, amended the terms of its existing line of credit facility with HSBC Bank to provide for (i) a one-year extension of the maturity date of the existing financing facility to December 19, 2016, (ii) an increase in the facility limit from £1.3 million (approximately USD $1.9 million, based on exchange rates at time of closing) to £1.5 million (approximately USD $2.3 million, based on exchange rates at time of closing), and (iii) a decrease in the annual interest rate margin from 3.46% to 3.0%. In addition, pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 5, 2014, the Company agreed that £0.4 million (approximately USD $0.6 million, based on exchange rates at the time of closing) of the note payable by the UK subsidiary to the Company shall be subordinated in priority of payment to the subsidiary's obligations to HSBC under the financing facility. This agreement has been subsequently amended with the most recent amendment on March 8, 2022. The cumulative result of the amendments through March 8, 2022, reflects a reduction of the service charge to 0.765%. The agreement can be terminated with three months' notice. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

7. Concentration of Risk

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.

The Company's foreign financial depositories are Bank of America; China Construction Bank; Bank of China; China Industrial and Commercial Bank; HSBC (UK); Royal Bank of Scotland, Rural Credit Cooperative of Shandong; Postal Savings Bank of China; Punjab National Bank; HSBC in India, Argentina, Australia and UK; Raymond James in Argentina; TD Canada Trust; Banco Itaú S.A., Banco Credito Inversione in Chile; Banco Mercantil Del Norte SA in Mexico; ALFA Bank and Bank Uralsib in Russia, JSC Bank Centercredit in Kazakhstan; Bank of New Zealand in New Zealand; BNL Gruppo Paribas, Banca Monti Dei 'Paschi and Banca Intesa Spa in Italy; BCR in Romania; NAB in Australia: and Commerzbank AG in Germany. The Company monitors its financial depositories by their credit rating, which varies by country. Additionally, cash balances in banks in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. As of April 30, 2025, approximately $3.0 million was included in U.S. bank accounts and approximately $15.6 million was included in foreign bank accounts, of which $17.8 million was uninsured. As of January 31, 2025, approximately $1.3 million was included in U.S. bank accounts and approximately $16.2 million was included in foreign bank accounts, of which $16.7 million was uninsured.

8. Stockholders' Equity

On June 21, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved the Lakeland Industries, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). The executive officers and all other employees and directors of the Company, including its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), except that with respect to all non-employee directors, the Committee shall be deemed to include the full Board. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, or stock appreciation rights ("SARs").

An aggregate of 1,240,000 shares of the Company's common stock are currently authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan, as amended, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan for stock splits, dividends, distributions, recapitalizations and other similar transactions or events. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, such shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, lapse or termination, again be available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation costs, which are reflected in operating expenses (in $000's):

The actual number of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, to be earned by the award recipients is determined over a three-year performance measurement period based on measures that include Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") margin, revenue growth, and return on invested capital for the April 2022 grants. Performance measures for the March 2023 grants are revenue growth, EBITDA margin and return on invested capital. The performance measures for the April 2024 grants are aggregate revenue during FY25, FY26, and FY27; EBITDA margin; and free cash flow margin. The performance measures for the April 2025 grants are aggregate revenue during FY26, FY27, and FY28; Adjusted EBITDA; and free cash flow margin. The performance targets have been set for each of the Minimum, Target, and Maximum levels. The actual performance amount achieved is determined by the Committee and may be adjusted for items determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, at the discretion of the Committee.

The compensation cost is based on the fair value at the grant date, is recognized over the requisite performance/service period using the straight-line method and is periodically adjusted for the probable number of shares to be awarded. As of April 30, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $3.5 million pursuant to the 2017 Plan based on outstanding awards under the Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over approximately three years.

Stock Repurchase Program

On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock, which became effective upon the completion of a prior share repurchase program. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company's stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock.

No shares were repurchased during Q1 FY26, leaving $5.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program at April 30, 2025. The share repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

9. Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, in addition to discrete items.

The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY26 was 23.4%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY25 was 19.0% which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provision and impacts from the final earn-out adjustments related to the Pacific and Eagle acquisitions.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. The valuation allowance was $6.8 million and $6.6 million as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively.

With the exception of our UK and China subsidiaries for which we accrue relevant deferred tax impacts related to non-indefinitely reinvested cash, we consider the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis (including undistributed and previously taxed earnings) of investments in our other foreign subsidiaries as of April 30, 2025 to be indefinitely reinvested in the foreign jurisdictions on the basis of our specific plan for reinvestment and estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. Therefore, we have not provided for deferred taxes related to such excess or the relevant portions thereof and disclosed that the determination of any deferred taxes related to this excess is not practicable in those permanently reinvested jurisdictions. We have made no changes to our policy on indefinite reinvestment during the quarter ended April 30, 2025.

10. Net (Loss) Income Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share as follows (in $000s except share and per share amounts):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Three Months Ended<br> April 30, | Three Months Ended<br> April 30, | Three Months Ended<br> April 30, |
|  | 2025 | 2025 | 2024 |
|  Numerator: |  |  |  |
| Net (loss) income | ($| 3913) | $1653 |
|  Denominator: |  |  |  |
| Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share (weighted-average shares which exclude shares in the treasury, 1,358,208 at April 30, <br>2025 and 2024) |  | 9498604 | 7364757 |
|  Effect of dilutive securities from restricted stock plan |  |  | 217692 |
| Denominator for diluted net (loss) income per share (adjusted weighted average shares) |  | 9498604 | 7582449 |
| Basic net (loss) income per share | ($| 0.41) | $0.22 |
| Diluted net (loss) income per share | ($| 0.41) | $0.22 |

---

For the three months ended April 30, 2025, 0.3 million shares of unvested restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. There were no shares of unvested restricted stock awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

------

11. Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, which inherently involve an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been or is probable of being incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

During the third quarter of FY24, the Company sent a letter to the landlord outlining certain structural defects on the newly constructed facility in Monterrey, Mexico that would inhibit the Company from effectively utilizing the facility for its intended purpose. The Company has initiated discussions with the landlord as to potential remedies that may inform our decision-making process with respect to this property. Changes in our long-term intended use for the building may impact the carrying value of the currently recorded right of use asset.

General litigation contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising during the normal course of business which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. As of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, to the best of the Company's knowledge, there were no significant outstanding claims or litigation.

12. Segment Reporting

Domestic and international sales from continuing operations are as follows in millions of dollars:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Three Months<br>Ended April 30, | Three Months<br>Ended April 30, |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  Domestic | $20.7 | $14.3 |
|  International | 26.0 | 22.0 |
|  Total | $46.7 | $36.3 |

---

The Company is organized into seven geographical operating segments that are based on management responsibilities: US Operations (including Corporate), Europe, Mexico, Asia, Canada, Latin America and Other Foreign.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures for the year ended January 31, 2025 and applied it retrospectively for the prior period presented.

Gross profit and Operating profit are the measures used by the chief operating decision maker, identified as our President and Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate segment performance and identify opportunities when allocating resources.

The accounting principles applied at the reportable segment level in determining the segment measure of profit or loss are the same as those applied at the consolidated financial statement level. Sales and transfers between operating segments are accounted for at market-based transaction prices and are eliminated in consolidation.

Our US operations include a facility in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the light manufacturing of our chemical, wovens, reflective, and fire products) and facilities in Iowa and Arkansas (fire services). The Company also maintains one manufacturing facility in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, reflective, fire and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Vietnam (primarily disposable production), a manufacturing facility in Argentina (primarily wovens and production), a manufacturing facility in Romania (boots), a manufacturing facility in New Zealand (helmets) and two small manufacturing facilities in India. Our China and Vietnam facilities produce a significant portion of the Company's products. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on gross profit which is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, and operating profit, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense and other income and expenses. We have sales forces in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia, New Zealand and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam or India.

**Item 2.** **Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations** <br>

#### Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "expect," "believe," "intend," "project", "plan," "seek," "will," "may," "might," "would," "could" and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of sales, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms.

The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are based upon our management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from expectations are:

• we are subject to risk as a result of our international manufacturing operations and are subject to the risk of doing business in foreign countries, particularly in China and Vietnam, including risks relating to the impacts of tariff policies, which could affect our ability to manufacture or sell our products, obtain products from foreign suppliers or control the costs of our products;

• a terrorist attack, other geopolitical crisis, or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively impact our domestic and/or international operations;

• our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

• we have manufacturing and other operations in China, Vietnam, and other countries which may be adversely affected by tariff wars and other trade maneuvers;

• our results of operations may vary widely from quarter to quarter;

• disruption in our supply chain, manufacturing or distribution operations could adversely affect our business;

• climate change and other sustainability matters may adversely affect our business and operations;

• some of our sales are to foreign buyers, which exposes us to additional risks;

• because we do not have long-term commitments from many of our customers, we must estimate customer demand, and errors in our estimates could negatively impact our inventory levels and net sales;

• we face competition from other companies, a number of which have substantially greater resources than we do;

• our operations are substantially dependent upon key personnel;

• technological change could negatively affect sales of our products and our performance;

• cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations;

• data privacy and security laws relating to the handling of personal information are evolving across the world and may be drafted, interpreted, or applied in a manner that results in increased costs, legal claims, fines against us, or reputational damage;

• our success depends in part on our proprietary technology, and if we fail to successfully obtain or enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position may be harmed;

• We are implementing a new enterprise resource planning system;

• We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting;

• we deal in countries where corruption is an obstacle;

• we are exposed to U.S. and foreign tax risks;

• we may be subject to product liability claims, and insurance coverage could be inadequate or unavailable to cover these claims;

• environmental laws and regulations may subject us to significant liabilities;

• provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Delaware law could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult;

• we may not achieve the expected benefits from strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures, capital investments and other corporate transactions that we have pursued or may pursue;

• we may need additional funds, and if we are unable to obtain these funds, we may not be able to expand or operate our business as planned;

• adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations; and

• the other factors referenced in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the factors described under "Risk Factors" disclosed in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

#### Business Overview
We manufacture and sell a comprehensive line of industrial protective clothing and accessories for the industrial and public protective clothing market. Our products are sold globally by our in-house sales teams, our customer service group, and authorized independent sales representatives to a network of over 2,000 global safety and industrial supply distributors. Our authorized distributors supply end users, such as integrated oil, chemical/petrochemical, automobile, transportation, steel, glass, construction, smelting, cleanroom, janitorial, pharmaceutical, and high technology electronics manufacturers, as well as scientific, medical laboratories and the utilities industry. In addition, we supply federal, state and local governmental agencies and departments, including fire and law enforcement, airport crash rescue units, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control. Internationally, we sell to a mixture of end-users directly and to industrial distributors, depending on the particular country and market. In addition to the United States, sales are made into more than 50 foreign countries, the majority of which were into China, the European Economic Community ("EEC"), Canada, Chile, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, India, Uruguay, Middle East, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong.

The Company's strong market position across its focus product categories and markets is supported by continued and increasing investment in its global footprint, particularly owning and operating its own manufacturing facilities, acquiring complementary companies or products that expand and enhance product offerings and/or geographic customer territories and investing in sales and marketing resources in countries around the world. We believe that ownership of manufacturing is the cornerstone of building a resilient supply chain and providing high-quality products to our customers. Having ten manufacturing locations in eight countries on five continents, and sourcing core raw materials from multiple suppliers in various countries affords Lakeland with superior manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience compared to our competitors who use contractors. Additionally, our focus on providing customers with best-in-class service includes the strategic location of our sales team members.

Lakeland is committed to protecting the world's workers, first responders, and communities while creating shareholder value. Key elements of our corporate strategy include:

• Creating a high-performance culture driven by our corporate values,

• Investing resources in high-growth geographies and product categories,

• Building a premier global firefighter safety brand through product and marketing enhancements,

• Driving profitable growth in high-end chemical and limited-use/disposable protective clothing through product development, strategic pricing initiatives, channel diversification, and operations optimization, and

• Acquiring companies that improve Lakeland's competitive advantage in focus markets.

Jolly is a leading designer and manufacturer of professional footwear for the firefighting, military, police, and rescue markets. The company is headquartered in Montebelluna, Italy, with manufacturing operations in Bucharest, Romania, and has 150 employees. Jolly's primary customers are based in Europe.

Our net sales attributable to customers outside the United States were $26.0 million and $22.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We are continually monitoring the potential financial impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on our operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2025, sales in Russia were approximately 1.4% of our consolidated sales and sales into Ukraine were not significant. We do not have any capital assets in Russia.

#### Results of Operations

#### Three Months ended April 30, 2025, Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2024
*Net Sales.* Net sales were $46.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $10.4 million or 28.7% compared to $36.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024. Sales of our Fire Services product line increased $10.5 million due to $9.8 million in sales from Veridian acquired in December 2024 and LHD acquired in July 2024, and $0.7 million growth in the product line. Our Industrials product line sales in Q1 FY26 were in line with Q1 FY25 with a slight contraction of $0.1 million.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $15.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 3.7%, compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 33.5% for the three-month period ended April 30, 2025, from 44.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2024. Gross profit performance declined in the three months ended April 30, 2025 due to revenue mix coupled with lower margins in our acquired businesses, higher manufacturing and freight costs. Our margins in the acquired businesses were impacted by the amortization of the write-up in inventory as part of purchase accounting.

*Operating Expense*. Operating expenses increased by $6.3 million, or 45.0%, from $14.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024 to $20.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025. This increase is attributable to the acquisitions of Veridian and LHD which increased operating expenses by $2.8 million. In addition, the Company incurred transaction-related expenses related to our acquisitions of $0.9 million coupled with severance costs of $0.6 million, costs of $0.2 million due to ongoing PFAS litigation and $0.6 million of costs associated with the Monterrey facility. The remaining increase was related to additional selling expenses including travel and trade shows, increased outbound freight, professional fees and administrative expenses of $1.1 million. During the quarter ended April 30, 2024, the Company evaluated the earnout consideration accrual related to the Eagle and Pacific acquisitions and reduced the accrual by $0.7 million, which was recorded as a reduction in operating expense. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 43.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2025, up from 38.5% for the three months ended April 30, 2024, primarily due to the factors noted above.

*Operating Loss*. Operating loss was ($4.6) million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 compared to an operating profit of $2.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024, due to the impacts detailed above. Operating margins were (9.9%) for the three months ended April 30, 2025, as compared to 6.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

*Income Tax Expense (Benefit)*. Income tax expense consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Income tax benefit was $1.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The income tax benefit is a result of the pre-tax operating loss in the three months ended April 30, 2025. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY26 was 23.4% which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY24 was 19.0%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to rate differentials in foreign tax jurisdictions and the GILTI provision, and the earn-out adjustments related to the Pacific and Eagle acquisitions.

*Net Income (Loss).* Net loss was ($3.9) million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 down from net income of $1.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $18.6 million, and working capital was approximately $104.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.1 million, and working capital increased $2.8 million from January 31, 2025 due to the balance sheet fluctuations described below.

Of the Company's total cash and cash equivalents of $18.6 million as of April 30, 2025, cash held in Latin America of $2.2 million, cash held in the UK of $2.5 million, cash held in Russia and Kazakhstan of $1.9 million, cash held in the EEC of $4.8, cash held in India of $0.6 million, cash held in Vietnam of $0.2 million, and cash held in Hong Kong of $0.1 million would not be subject to additional US tax in the event such cash was repatriated due to the change in the US tax law as a result of the December 22, 2017 enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). When the Company repatriates cash from China, of the $1.8 million balance at April 30, 2025, an additional 10% withholding tax may be incurred in that country. The Company expects to repatriate cash from China during FY 26 and in anticipation of doing so, has accrued withholding tax expense of $0.3 million as of April 30, 2025.

Cash used in operations was $4.9 million due to net loss of ($3.9) million, and an increase in working capital of $3.0 million offset by non-cash charges of $2.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for capital expenditures for our new ERP system and replacement of manufacturing equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.5 million due to $6.6 million borrowed under our credit facility to fund working capital increases and the addition of a $2.2 million working capital loan for Jolly to support their operations offset by dividends of $0.3 million, repayment of short-term borrowings of $0.2 million and $0.1 million in shares returned to pay income taxes on shares vested under our equity compensation program.

We believe our current cash, cash equivalents, borrowing capacity under our Loan Agreement, and the cash to be generated from expected product sales will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and investing requirements (including planned capital expenditures) for at least the next twelve months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we may need to utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect.

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Original Loan Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. ("Lender"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Loan Agreement, dated June 18, 2021 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement, dated March 3, 2023 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 to the Loan Agreement, dated November 30, 2023 ("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No. 4 to the Loan Agreement, dated March 28,

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
2024 ("Amendment No. 4"), and Amendment No. 5 to the Loan Agreement, dated December 12, 2024 ("Amendment No. 5" and, collectively with Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, and Amendment No. 4, the "Loan Agreement Amendments"; and the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by the Loan Agreement Amendments, the "Amended Loan Agreement").

The Amended Loan Agreement provides the Company with a secured revolving credit facility of up to $60.0 million of borrowings from December 12, 2024 through January 31, 2026 and of up to $50.0 million of borrowings from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027 (in each case, such limits remain subject to a reduction to no less than $40.0 million from the net proceeds of equity issuances if the Company raises capital during such periods). The revolving credit facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. On January 24, 2025, as required by the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company used certain net proceeds of its equity issuance to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement. As a result thereof, the maximum principal amount under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $40 million. The credit facility matures on December 12, 2029.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or an index floor of 1% plus (ii) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement). The Applicable Rate is based on a funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio (discussed below) and includes four different levels constituting a SOFR margin range from 1.25% to 2.00%. All outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest under the revolving credit facility are due and payable on the maturity date. On a one-time basis, and subject to there not existing an event of default, the Company may elect to convert up to $5.0 million of the then outstanding principal of the revolving credit facility to a term loan facility with an assumed amortization of 15 years and the same interest rate and maturity date as the revolving credit facility. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for a fee on any difference between the line of credit commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. Such fee is calculated at the Applicable Rate and is payable quarterly.

The Company made certain representations and warranties to the Lender in the Amended Loan Agreement that are customary for credit arrangements of this type. The Company also agreed to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter a minimum "basic fixed charge coverage ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of at least 1.20x and a "funded debt to EBITDA ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) not to exceed 3.5x (with step-downs to 3.25x and 3.0x on February 1, 2026 and February 1, 2027, respectively), in each case for the trailing 12-month period ending with the applicable quarterly reporting period. In addition, the Company has agreed to maintain a springing "asset coverage ratio" (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of at least 1.10x, but only to the extent that the maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 3.25x at any reporting period. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of April 30, 2025.

*Stock Repurchase Program.* On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock, which became effective upon the completion of a prior share repurchase program. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company's stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock.

No shares were repurchased in the three months ended April 30, 2025 leaving $5.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program at April 30, 2025. The share repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

*Quarterly Cash Dividend*. On February 1, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share was paid on February 24, 2025, to stockholders of record as of February 17, 2025.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Capital Expenditures.* Our capital expenditures for the three months ended April 30, 2025 of $1.2 million principally relate to capital investment in our new ERP system and some replacement equipment for our manufacturing sites. We anticipate FY26 capital expenditures to be approximately $3.0 million to replace existing equipment in the normal course of operations, expand our fire services products manufacturing capabilities and invest in our new ERP system. We expect to fund the capital expenditures from our cash flows from operations. The Company may also expend funds in connection with potential acquisitions.

#### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our fiscal year 2025 Form 10-K. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult, or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2025.

**Item 3.** **Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk** <br>

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item, and therefore, no disclosure is required under Item 3 for the Company.

**Item 4.** **Controls and Procedures** <br>

#### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of April 30, 2025. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of April 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Notwithstanding the ineffective disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the identified material weakness described below, management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K, management identified certain deficiencies in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that aggregated to a material weakness related to the completeness and accuracy of its foreign reporting packages. Specifically, the Company has undergone significant changes in size, complexity and geographic footprint primarily due to multiple acquisitions, and has numerous systems that process financially relevant data. Of these systems, Sage X3 (United States, Canada and the United Kingdom) and Kingdee (China and Hong Kong), were in the Company's scope for testing of information technology general controls ("ITGCs") in support of management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Company's consolidation process is manual and based upon reporting packages submitted by the various locations. For those locations where the financially relevant systems were not in-scope and not subject to the Company's testing of ITGCs, the financial reporting controls, as designed, do not adequately

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
address the completeness and accuracy of the foreign reporting packages. The reporting packages form the basis of multiple controls, including a key management review control designed to detect a material misstatement in the Company's consolidated financial statements as well as other controls. Additionally, the Company did not update the control activities documentation for numerous locations and, in some cases, did not change control processes to reflect changes in operating structure. This contributed to the material weakness disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K in the Company's internal controls.

Management's Remediation Plan and Status

In response to the material weakness, management has taken, or is in the process of taking, the following actions:

• Implementing an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, which is expected to roll out in phases over the next several years. Phase I should be completed by the end of the 2026 fiscal year;

• Established a technology committee of the Board of Directors to oversee the role of technology in executing the Company's business strategy and risks associated with technology strategies, major technology investments, operational performance and technology trends; and

• Migrating substantially all of our operations to a common accounting system and utilizing a common chart of accounts and improved accounting close and revise procedures.

While we have taken steps to remediate the identified material weakness and will continue to complete the remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take to remediate this material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the controls are designed, implemented, and operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through independent testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address these control deficiencies or modify certain remediation measures described above.

#### Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than continuing to make progress on the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On April 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $5 million of its outstanding common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program"). The Share Repurchase Program became effective upon the completion of a prior Share Repurchase Program. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date; however, it may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On December 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Share Repurchase Program under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $5 million of its outstanding common stock.

The common shares available for repurchase under the authorizations currently in effect may be purchased from time to time, with consideration given to the market price of the common shares, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations, general economic conditions and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be made on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

The following table sets forth purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or any "affiliated purchaser," as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act, of shares of the Company's common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2026:

------

6. <u>Participation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 <u>Enrollment; Payroll Deductions</u>. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in the Plan by enrolling electronically through the Plan's online portal. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. By enrolling through the Plan's online portal, the Eligible Employee authorizes payroll deductions from his or her pay check in an amount equal to at least 1%, but not more than fifteen percent (15%), of his or her Compensation on each pay day occurring during an Offering Period (or such other maximum percentage as the Committee may establish from time to time before an Offering Period begins). Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payroll date following the Offering Date and end on the last payroll date on or before the Purchase Date. The Company shall maintain records of all payroll deductions but shall have no obligation to pay interest on payroll deductions or to hold such amounts in a trust or in any segregated account. Unless expressly permitted by the Committee, a Participant may not make any separate contributions or payments to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 <u>Election Changes</u>. During an Offering Period, a Participant may decrease or increase his or her rate of payroll deductions applicable to such Offering Period electronically through the Plan's online portal. Similarly, a Participant may decrease or increase his or her rate of payroll deductions applicable to future Offering Periods electronically through the Plan's online portal before the start of the next Offering Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 <u>Automatic Re-enrollment</u>. The deduction rate selected electronically through the Plan's online portal shall remain in effect for subsequent Offering Periods unless the Participant (a) authorizes a new level of payroll deductions in accordance with Section 6.2, (b) withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 10, or (c) terminates employment or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan.

7. <u>Grant of Option</u>. On each Offering Date, each Participant in the applicable Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase, on the Purchase Date, a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Participant's accumulated payroll deductions by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant purchase more than 2,500 shares of Common Stock during an Offering Period (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 18 and the limitations set forth in Section 13 of the Plan).

8. <u>Exercise of Option/Purchase of Shares</u>. A Participant's option to purchase shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of each Offering Period. The Participant's accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase the maximum number of whole shares that can be purchased with the amounts in the Participant's notional account. No fractional shares may be issued upon the exercise of options granted under this Plan unless specifically provided for in the Offering. Any cash in lieu of fractional shares remaining in the Participant's notional account after the purchase of whole shares will be carried forward and applied toward the purchase of whole shares for the immediately subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant in accordance with Section 10 or termination of employment in accordance with Section 11.

------

9. <u>Transfer of Shares</u>. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company will arrange for the delivery to each Participant of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of his or her option. The Committee may permit or require that the shares be deposited directly into an ESPP Share Account established in the name of the Participant with a Designated Broker and may require that the shares of Common Stock be retained with such Designated Broker for a specified period of time. Participants will not have any voting, dividend or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted hereunder until such shares have been delivered pursuant to this Section 9.

10. <u>Withdrawal</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 <u>Withdrawal Procedure</u>. A Participant may withdraw from an Offering electronically through the Plan's online portal at least one (1) business day before the Purchase Date. The accumulated payroll deductions held on behalf of a Participant in his or her notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be paid to the Participant promptly following the processing of his or her election to withdraw and the Participant's option shall be automatically terminated. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, no payroll deductions will be made during any succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 <u>Effect on Succeeding Offering Periods</u>. A Participant's election to withdraw from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in succeeding Offering Periods that commence following the completion of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

11. <u>Termination of Employment; Change in Employment Status</u>. Upon termination of a Participant's employment for any reason, including death, disability or retirement, or a change in the Participant's employment status following which the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee, which in either case occurs at least thirty (30) days before the Purchase Date, the Participant will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan and the payroll deductions in the Participant's notional account (that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock) shall be returned to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant's death, to the person(s) entitled to such amounts under Section 17, and the Participant's option shall be automatically terminated. If the Participant's termination of employment or change in status occurs within thirty (30) days before a Purchase Date, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date.

12. <u>Interest</u>. No interest shall accrue on or be payable with respect to the payroll deductions of a Participant in the Plan.

13. <u>Shares Reserved for Plan</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.1 <u>Number of Shares</u>. A total of one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock have been reserved as authorized for the grant of options under the Plan. The shares of Common Stock may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2 <u>Over-subscribed Offerings</u>. The number of shares of Common Stock which a Participant may purchase in an Offering under the Plan may be reduced if the Offering is over-subscribed. No option granted under the Plan shall permit a Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock which, if added together with the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by all other Participants in such Offering would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock remaining available under the Plan. If the Committee determines that, on a particular Purchase Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Committee determines to be equitable.

14. <u>Transferability</u>. No payroll deductions credited to a Participant, nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or any rights to receive Common Stock hereunder may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 17 hereof) by the Participant. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of such rights or amounts shall be without effect.

15. <u>Application of Funds</u>. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the Company shall not be required to segregate such payroll deductions or contributions.

16. <u>Statements</u>. Participants will be provided with statements at least annually which shall set forth the contributions made by the Participant to the Plan, the Purchase Price of any shares of Common Stock purchased with accumulated funds, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased, and any payroll deduction amounts remaining in the Participant's notional account.

17. <u>Designation of Beneficiary</u>. A Participant may file, on forms supplied by the Committee, a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, from the Participant's ESPP Share Account under the Plan in the event of such Participant's death. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any cash withheld through payroll deductions and credited to the Participant's notional account in the event of the Participant's death prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period.

18. <u>Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Dissolution or Liquidation; Corporate Transactions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.1 <u>Adjustments</u>. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the Company's structure affecting the Common Stock occurs, then in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made

------

available under the Plan, the Committee will, in such manner as it deems equitable, adjust the number of shares and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option under the Plan, and the numerical limits of Section 7 and Section 13.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.2 <u>Dissolution or Liquidation</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date and the Offering Period will end immediately prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation. The new Purchase Date will be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution or liquidation. Before the new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant's option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time, the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.3 <u>Corporate Transaction</u>. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute the option, the Offering Period with respect to which the option relates will be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date on which the Offering Period will end. The new Purchase Date will occur before the date of the Corporate Transaction. Prior to the new Purchase Date, the Committee will provide each Participant with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the Participant's option will be exercised automatically on such date, unless before such time, the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 10.

19. <u>General Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.1 <u>Equal Rights and Privileges</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary and in accordance with Section 423 of the Code, all Eligible Employees who are granted options under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.2 <u>No Right to Continued Service</u>. Neither the Plan nor any compensation paid hereunder will confer on any Participant the right to continue as an Employee or in any other capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.3 <u>Rights as Stockholder</u>. A Participant will become a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock that are purchased pursuant to options granted under the Plan when the shares are transferred to the Participant's ESPP Share Account. A Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock for which an election to participate in an Offering Period has been made until such Participant becomes a stockholder as provided above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.4 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. The Plan shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns.

The obligations of the Company with respect to payments under the Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to an option granted under the Plan unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.7 <u>Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions</u>. Each Participant shall give the Company prompt written notice of any disposition or other transfer of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option acquired under the Plan, if such disposition or transfer is made within two (2) years after the Offering Date or within one (1) year after the Purchase Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.8 <u>Term of Plan</u>. The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 19.9, shall have a term of ten (10) years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.9 <u>Amendment or Termination</u>. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Committee may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or once shares of Common Stock have been purchased on the next Purchase Date (which may, in the discretion of the Committee, be accelerated) or permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment in accordance with Section 18). If any Offering Period is terminated before its scheduled expiration, all amounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to Participants (without interest, except as otherwise required by law) as soon as administratively practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.10 <u>Applicable Law</u>. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of law rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.12 <u>Section 423</u>. The Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code. Any provision of the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code shall be reformed to comply with Section 423 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.13 <u>Withholding</u>. To the extent required by applicable federal, state or local law, a Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any withholding or similar tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.14 <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of the Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.15 <u>Headings</u>. The headings of sections herein are included solely for convenience and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.
