The Company also announced that it expects a delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2023 in light of the continued work on the restatements.
In the interim, the Company is pleased to provide certain preliminary unaudited and unreviewed financial results for the second quarter fiscal 2024 ended July 30, 2023, which exceed the guidance ranges provided with first quarter fiscal 2024 results on June 7, 2023:

59% - Net loss is expected to be in the range of

The select preliminary second quarter fiscal 2024 results included above in this press release are based upon preliminary financial results. These preliminary financial results are based upon information available to management as of the date of this press release. The Company’s actual results may differ from these results due to final adjustments and developments that may arise or information that may become available between now and the time the Company’s financial results for second quarter fiscal 2024 are finalized and included in the Company’s Form 10-Q. These preliminary results may be subject to further adjustment as a result of the restatements of historical results. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary financial results, nor has it expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such results.
Financial Restatements and Postponement of Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
As announced on August 16, 2023, the Company has determined the need to restate its previously issued financial statements for fiscal year 2023 and its first quarter fiscal 2024 primarily due to errors in accounting for a last mile journal entry and the methodology used by the Company to calculate the accrual of its last mile freight expenses. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to correct the misstatements in the Company’s previously issued financial statements by amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K/A”) and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2023 (the “First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q/A”). The Company is working diligently to file its 2023 Form 10-K/A and First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q/A as expeditiously as possible.
Given the time and focus dedicated to the restatement process and the completion and filing of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K/A and First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q/A, the Company currently expects a delay in completing its customary quarterly review and reporting process and the filing of its Form 10-Q for the fiscal second quarter ended July 30, 2023.
Lovesac will make a subsequent announcement to schedule the date and time of its earnings release and conference call for the second quarter fiscal 2024.
