1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

As of November 2, 2024, Burlington Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company), through its indirect subsidiary Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (BCFWC), operated 1,103 retail stores.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Burlington Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (Fiscal 2023 10-K). The balance sheet at February 3, 2024 presented herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Fiscal 2023 10-K. Because the Company’s business is seasonal in nature, the operating results for the three and nine month periods ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results for the fiscal year.

Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” included in Part II, Item 8 of the Fiscal 2023 10-K.

Fiscal Year

The Company defines its fiscal year as the 52 or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2024 is defined as the 52-week year ending February 1, 2025, and Fiscal 2023 is defined as the 53-week year ended February 3, 2024. The first, second, and third quarters of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 each consist of 13 weeks.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto during the three and nine month periods ended November 2, 2024.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (ASU 2023-07) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09) to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and

can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
