|
ITEM 1A. |
RISK FACTORS
|
• |
We may not be able to execute our opportunistic buying strategy;
|
• |
Fluctuations in comparable store sales and results of operations, including fluctuations on a quarterly basis, could cause our business performance to decline substantially, as comparable store sales
and results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may do so again in the future;
|
• |
Consumer confidence and spending may be reduced in light of factors beyond our control and our results of operations and financial results may suffer;
|
• |
Competition may increase in our segment of the retail market, which could put negative pressure on our results of operations and financial condition;
|
• |
Identification of potential store locations and lease negotiations may not keep pace with our growth strategy;
|
• |
We are a “brick and mortar only” retailer. Our lack of an online shopping option and an omnichannel customer experience may mean that we could face challenges to grow and retain customers. Our customers, including our Ollie’s Army
loyalty program members, may determine to shop at other stores or through web- and mobile-enabled services and therefore may not be as likely to shop at our stores;
|
• |
We may not be able to develop and operate our distribution centers in an efficient or effective manner and that may result in not having sufficient inventory in our stores.
|
• |
The loss or disruption of one or more of our distribution centers or disruption of our supply chain or third-party shipping carriers could also make it difficult for us to timely
receive or distribute merchandise to our stores;
|
• |
External economic pressures over which we have no or limited control, including among other items inflation, a significant decline in economic activity across the economy, occupancy costs, and transportation costs may reduce our
profitability;
|
• |
Shrinkage or the loss or theft of inventory and/or inventory management may result in material negative impacts on our results of operations;
|
• |
We may not be able to hire and retain the right people to run our stores and our distribution centers. We also may not be able to hire and retain managerial personnel, the
appropriate merchant team for our retail segment, and the senior management team and executive officers sufficient to meet our goals. As a consequence, our results of operations and financial results may suffer; and
|
• |
We are subject to governmental laws, regulations, procedures, and requirements that can lead to substantial penalties if we fail to achieve and/or maintain compliance;
|
• |
We are subject to risks associated with laws and regulations generally applicable to retailers and the risks associated with failing to comply with these laws and regulations;
|
• |
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings from customers, suppliers, other vendors, employees, governments and governmental agencies, or competitors;
|
• |
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings from stockholders; and
|
• |
Legislative, regulatory and other actions resulting from the November 2024 elections for the U.S. President and the U.S. Congress are unpredictable and could have unforeseen consequences that could materially,
adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, certain proposals regarding federal corporate tax reform and border-adjusted taxes, taxes
levied on imported goods, may result in a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
|
• |
We may fail to maintain the security of information we hold relating to personal information or payment card data of our customers, employees, and suppliers;
|
• |
We may not adequately prepare for, or respond to, existing and future privacy legislation; and
|
• |
We may not be able to timely or adequately maintain or upgrade our technology systems needed for operations.
|
• |
If our estimates or judgments relating to significant accounting policies prove to be incorrect, we could suffer negative financial results; and
|
• |
Changes to the accounting rules or regulations could have material adverse effects on our results of operations.
|
• |
There is risk associated with our fluctuating quarterly operating results and we may fall short of prior periods, our projections, or the expectations of securities analysts or investors;
|
• |
We may not declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future; and
|
• |
There are provisions in our organizational documents that could delay or prevent a change of control.
|
• |
Our credit facility can limit our ability to find other sources of financing;
|
• |
There are covenants contained in our credit facility that we must meet in order to be able to use it;
|
• |
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet debt service, it could negatively impact our liquidity; and
|
• |
We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value.

Item 1C. |
Cybersecurity
|
• |
As discussed in more detail under the heading “Governance,” the Board oversees the Company’s ERM functions through its Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”). The Audit Committee, in turn, oversees the Company’s Risk Management Committee
(the “Risk Committee”), which includes the Company’s Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), who fulfills the role of Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), other members of management, and select personnel from key departments. The Risk
Committee regularly meets to discuss, evaluate, and address the ever-changing landscape of enterprise risks. The Risk Committee then reports to, and solicits direction and input from, the Audit Committee.
|
• |
The Company has implemented a comprehensive, cross functional approach to identifying, mitigating, and preventing cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation
of certain cybersecurity incidents, so that management can make decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents in a timely manner. The Board, Company management, other key associates, and outside vendors and
service providers work together and diligently at all levels of the ERM function.
|
• |
The Company deploys technical safeguards that are designed to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-malware functionality, and access
controls, which the Company evaluates and improves through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.
|
• |
The Company has established and maintains comprehensive incident response and recovery plans that fully address the Company’s response to a cybersecurity incident. Such plans are tested and evaluated on a regular basis.
|
• |
The Company maintains a comprehensive, risk-based approach to identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties (including vendors, service providers, and other external users of the Company’s systems) as well as
the systems of third parties that could adversely impact the Company’s business in the event of a cybersecurity incident affecting those third-party systems.
|
• |
The Company conducts regular training for its associates regarding cybersecurity threats, as means to equip the Company’s associates with effective tools to address cybersecurity threats and to communicate the Company’s evolving
information security policies, standards, processes, and practices.

On March 26, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. This initial tranche expired on March 26, 2021. The Board authorized the repurchase of
another $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock on December 15, 2020, and a $100.0 million increase on March 16, 2021, resulting in $200.0 million approved for share repurchases through January 13, 2023. On November 30, 2021, the Board
authorized an additional $200.0 million to repurchase stock pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program, expiring on December 15, 2023. On November 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an extension to the existing
share repurchase program set to expire on December 15, 2023, until March 31, 2026. Shares to be repurchased are subject to the same considerations regarding timing and amount of repurchases as the initial authorization. As of February 3,
2024, the Company had approximately $85.7 million remaining under its share repurchase program. For further discussion on the share repurchase program, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources, Share Repurchase Program.”

1. |
I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc.;
|
2. |
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
|
3. |
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of,
and for, the periods presented in this report;
|
4. |
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
(a) |
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

Covered Executives
|
5. |
Covered Compensation
|
6. |
Financial Restatements; Recoupment
|
a. |
the amount of the Covered Compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a Restatement; and
|
b. |
the amount of the Covered Compensation that would have been received by the Covered Executive had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount
actually awarded (any such amount, “Erroneously-Awarded Compensation”).
|
a. |
the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or any officer or officers authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded,
that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement; or
|
b. |
the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement.
|
7. |
Method of Recoupment
|
a. |
requiring reimbursement of cash incentive compensation previously paid;
|
b. |
cancelling or rescinding some or all outstanding vested or unvested equity (and/or equity-based) awards;
|
c. |
adjusting or withholding from unpaid compensation or other set-off to the extent permitted by applicable law; and/or
|
d. |
reducing or eliminating future salary increases, cash-based or equity-based incentive compensation, bonuses, awards or severance.
|
8. |
Impracticability Exceptions
|
a. |
the fees, costs, and expenses paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount of Erroneously-Awarded Compensation to be recovered;
|
b. |
recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; and/or
|
c. |
recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to Company employees, to fail to meet the requirements of Sections
401(a)(13) and 411(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
