Fiscal year 2022 ended on January 28, 2023 and contained 52 weeks.

The occurrence of, or threat of, a natural disaster, climate change, war (including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S.

For example, beginning in fiscal 2020, the United States Government took significant steps to address the forced labor concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China ( Xinjiang Region ), including withhold release orders ( WROs ) issued by United States Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ).
The WROs allow CBP to detain and deny entry of imports suspected of containing cotton from Xinjiang, regardless of the origin of the finished products.
This affected global supply chains, including our own supply chains for cotton-containing products.
Compliance with UFLPA could lead to an increase in the cost of goods and adversely affect our profitability.
