Balance Sheet & Liquidity
As of November 1, 2025, we had cash and investments of $27.0 million as compared to $43.0 million as of November 2, 2024, with no outstanding debt in either period. The decrease in cash and investments at November 1, 2025 as compared to November 2, 2024 included $13.1 million on capital spent over the past 12 months for new store development and $3.3 million of shares repurchased during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. We did not have any borrowings under our credit facility during either period and, as of November 1, 2025, the availability under our credit facility was $73.6 million, as compared to $78.1 million as of November 2, 2024. Availability under our credit facility is primarily driven by our available inventory.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we amended our credit facility to extend the maturity of the facility from October 28, 2026 to August 13, 2030. In connection with the amendment, we also reduced the size of the credit facility from $125.0 million to $100.0 million to more closely align the credit facility with the Company's lower inventory levels. The Company's availability under the credit facility did not materially change as a result of the amendment.
As of November 1, 2025, our inventory decreased $4.1 million to $85.0 million, as compared to $89.1 million as of November 2, 2024. We continue to take proactive measures to manage our inventory and adjust our receipt plan given the ongoing macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending, while at the same time, accelerating certain receipts to minimize the impact of tariffs. At November 1, 2025, our clearance inventory was 10.0% of our total inventory, as compared to 9.2% at November 2, 2024. Our inventory position is healthy, and our clearance levels are in line with our benchmark of 10%. Our inventory turnover rate has improved by over 30% from fiscal 2019.
Retail Store Information
The following is a summary of our retail square footage since the end of fiscal 2022 through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025:
| At November 1, 2025 | Year End 2024 | Year End 2023 | Year End 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| DXL retail | 258 | 1,853 | 247 | 1,795 | 232 | 1,725 | 218 | 1,663 | |||||||||||||||
| DXL outlets | 17 | 84 | 15 | 76 | 15 | 76 | 16 | 80 | |||||||||||||||

| Total | 296 | 1,999 | 288 | 1,949 | 283 | 1,913 | 281 | 1,892 | |||||||||||||||
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we opened eight new DXL stores, converted two Casual Male XL retail stores and one Casual Male XL outlet to DXL retail stores and two Casual Male XL outlets to DXL outlets. We expect our capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 to range from $17.0 million to $19.0 million, net of tenant incentives.
Digital Commerce Information
We distribute our national brands and private brand merchandise directly to consumers through our stores, website, app, and third-party marketplaces. Digital commerce sales, which we also refer to as direct sales, are defined as sales that originate online, whether through our website, at the store level or through a third-party marketplace. Our direct business is a critical component of our business and an area of significant growth opportunity for us. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, our direct sales were $27.3 million, or 26.8% of sales, as compared to $31.3 million, or 29.1% of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in direct sales was driven primarily by a decrease in online traffic.
Merger of Equals with FullBeauty
In a separate press release issued today, DXL announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to combine in a merger of equals with FullBeauty Brands, a one-stop destination for great fitting, quality, on-trend and size-inclusive apparel. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of fiscal 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and approval by DXL shareholders. Details regarding the transaction can be found at .

The Company's responses to questions, as well as other matters discussed during the conference call, may contain or constitute information that has not been disclosed previously.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow before capital expenditures for store development, and free cash flow. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted share or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, the non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The Company believes the inclusion of these non-GAAP measures help investors gain a better understanding of the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, and that they are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the Company's operating results when reviewed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial statements. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables below.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for asset impairment charges (gain) and accrual for estimated non-recurring legal settlement costs, if any. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total sales. The Company believes that providing adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin is useful to investors to evaluate the Company's performance and are key metrics to measure profitability and economic productivity.
Free cash flow is a metric that management uses to monitor liquidity. Management believes this metric is important to investors because it demonstrates the Company's ability to strengthen liquidity while supporting its capital projects and new store development. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and excludes the mandatory and discretionary repayment of debt. Free cash flow before capital expenditures for store development is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures other than capital expenditures for store development. Capital expenditures for store development includes capital expenditures for new stores, conversions of Casual Male XL stores to DXL and remodels. Capital expenditures related to store relocations and maintenance are not included in store development.
