(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended January 30, 2016,28, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 11, 2016.18, 2017.
As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “Stein Mart” refer to Stein Mart, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2015 Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Cash Flows during the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, to conform to classifications usedthe 2017 presentation.
Correction of an Immaterial Error
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we identified an immaterial prior period error in 2016.ourlower-of-cost-or-market adjustment for aged inventory. The immaterial error was corrected with a charge during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 resulting in anout-of-period increase to Cost of merchandise sold. The effect of this immaterial error on the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 would have been an increase of $0.2 million to Cost of merchandise sold, a decrease of $0.1 million in net income and an increase of $0.5 million to Cost of merchandise sold and a decrease of $0.3 million in net income, respectively.

Adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 was completed in the current periodfiscal year 2018 and diddo not affectexpect the adoption to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as we were alreadybelieve we are in compliance with thethis ASU.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities, to be reflected on the lessee’s balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We are in the process of evaluating our lease portfolio and identifying what additional data will be needed to comply with the new standard. We have identified a software application suited to track and account for leases under the new standard. We plan to adoptASU 2016-02 in fiscal year 2019 and are currently evaluating the overall effect the adoption of this ASU will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, butand we currently believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant effect on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheets due to the addition of our applicable leased assets and related liabilities.

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and subsequent clarifications. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace almost all existingsupersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, upon its effective date. The standard’s core principle is for a companyguidance. ASUNo. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in amountsan amount that reflectreflects the consideration to which the companyentity expects to be entitled. A company may also needentitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to use moreexercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and make more estimates when(v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We have completed an initial scoping analysis of the effect of the standards to identify the revenue streams that may be affected by this ASU. In our ongoing evaluation of this ASU, we have determined that the new standard will primarily apply to the following areas of our business: point of sale transactions, ecommerce, drop ship, shipping and handling, gift card breakage and loyalty programs. We expect the adoption will not change the timing or amount of revenue recognized as it relates to revenue from point of sale at the registers in our stores, which could result in additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 also provides guidance for transactions that were not addressed comprehensively in previous guidance,constitutes approximately 97% of our Net sales revenue. We continue to evaluate other revenue streams, such as ecommerce sales and shipping revenue, and there may be a slight change in the recognitiontiming of breakage income fromwhen such revenue is recognized.
This guidance was deferred by ASUNo. 2015-14, issued by the sale of gift cards. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The guidanceFASB in August 2015, and is effective for fiscal years,annual and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal year 2018). Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including2017, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim reporting periods within that reporting period.beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan to adopt this ASU in the fiscal year 2018 and utilize a cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. While we are still in the process ofcurrently evaluating the effect thatthe adoption of these ASU’sASUs may have on our financial statements, we do not currently expect a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.flows and will adopt these ASUs, including all related new disclosures, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Increases inThe SG&A inincreases for the 13 and 26 weeks ended OctoberJuly 29, 2016 compared to2017 were both primarily the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2015result of higher operating expenses from new stores that were drivenmostly offset by operating expenses for eight additional stores, a $1.4 million charge related to our former CEO’s resignation in September and higher advertising expense. These increases were offset by higher credit card program income and operating savings. Advertising expenses increased due to a combination of our change in media mix, to include additional TV, and promoting our new stores. Our higher credit card program income was due to the improved economics from our new agreement with Synchrony Financial plus higher penetration.

Interest expense for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2016 increased compared to the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2015 due primarily to slightly higher short-term interest rates. The increase in interest expense was due to increases in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2015 is driven by the 2016 period including three full quarters ofLondon Interbank Offer Rate, which raised our overall interest expense on our credit facility.

Our effective tax rate represents the applicable combined federal and state statutory rates reduced by the federal benefit of state taxes deductible on federal returns, adjusted for the impact of permanent differences. For the 2017 periods, ourpre-tax losses caused our taxes to be a benefit. This causes our net favorable permanent items to decrease the Effective tax rate. Additionally, the decrease in the Effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017 was primarily driven by the adoption of ASU2016-09, which resulted in $1.2 million income tax expense which offset our current Income tax benefit. This amount was previously carried within equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Excluding the effect of recent adoption of ASU2016-09, our effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, would have been 41 percent. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 13 and 39 weeks ended OctoberJuly 29, 20162017 was primarily driven by the Net loss of $13 million for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2017 compared to the Net Income of $3.7 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2015 increased primarily due to the effect of permanent differences for certain non-deductible expenses, partially offset by the earlier extension of the Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit.April 29, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital requirements and working capital needs are funded through a combination of internally generated funds, available cash, credit terms from vendors and our $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a second amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank.Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). We also have a secured $25 million master loan agreement with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (the “Equipment Term Loan” and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Facilities”). Working capital is used to support store inventories and capital investments for system improvements, fund new store openings, maintain existing stores, pay dividends, make debt service payments and repurchase shares of our common stock. Historically, our investments in working capital needs are lowest in August and September, after our heavy spring selling season, and in March and April andFebruary after the holiday selling season. Investments in late December and early January. Theyworking capital are highest in April, October and November as we begin procuring and paying for merchandise to support our heavy spring fall and holiday receipts in late February, October and at the end of November. As of October 29, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.0 million and $179.7 million in borrowings under our credit facilities.seasons. We believe that our cash flows from operations and our available cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to cover our liquidity requirements over the next 12 months.
On May 17, 2017, we announced that we have suspended our quarterly cash dividend and significantly reduced our planned capital expenditures (see below under “Cash Flows”). Planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2017 are approximately $24.1 million, or $20.9 million net of tenant improvements. Capital expenditures were $42.4 million, or $36.1 million net of tenant improvements, in fiscal 2016.
As of July 29, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million and $170.6 million in borrowings under our Credit Facilities. The total amount available for borrowings and letters of credit under our Credit Agreement is the lesser of $250 million or 100% of eligible credit card receivables and the net recovery percentage value of inventories less reserves. At July 29, 2017, in addition to outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, we had $8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit.
12Our Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was $49.5 million on July 29, 2017. If our Excess Availability is less than the greater of $20.0 million or 10% of our total availability for four consecutive business days, we are required to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We would not have met that minimum ratio as of July 29, 2017. As a result, our ability to borrow the last $20.3 million of our availability at July 29, 2017 for more than three consecutive business days was restricted, with $29.2 million available for use without restriction as of July 29, 2017. Excess Availability was at a seasonal low in the third week of August but moved higher later in the month. In September, borrowing availability is projected to range from $50.0 to $150.0 million through the end of the year. These projections are dependent on assumptions and estimates. If actual results differ substantially then availability and liquidity could be materially different.

Borrowings under our credit facilities were initially used for a special dividend paid during the first quarter of 2015, and have subsequently been used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. See Note 2 “Shareholders’ Equity” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
On May 17, 2017, we announced we have decided to suspend our quarterly cash dividend and significantly reduce our planned capital expenditures. Suspending the $0.075 quarterly dividend is expected to save approximately $14.0 million in cash annually, approximately $11.0 million in cash during fiscal 2017. We currently intend to use the related annual cash savings to repay indebtedness, maximize free cash flow and improve our financial position. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, after taking into account our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended January 30, 2016.28, 2017, and filed with the SEC on April 18, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Seasonality and Inflation
Our business is seasonal. Sales and profitability are historically higher in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which include the spring and holiday seasons. Therefore, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
Although we expect that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS | AND PROCEDURES |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 29, 2016the end of the period covered by this report due to provide reasonable assurance that information required to bethe material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
As previously disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form10-K/A, we identified a material weakness in the design and effectiveness in the operation of our controls that are intended to ensure that the data used in a report used by management to review thelower-of-cost-or-market adjustment for our aged inventory was complete and accurate. As a result of this material weakness, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in inventory in our annual or interim financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have taken steps to remediate this material weakness, including implementing new policies and procedures to enhance our risk assessment process to effectively design and implement control activities that verify the completeness and accuracy of data in reports underthat support management review controls. We have alsore-performed procedures over our key reports, including retesting the completeness and accuracy of these key reports.
We believe that these remediation measures have strengthened our internal control over financial reporting. As we are still assessing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures, the identified material weakness has not been fully remediated as of July 29, 2017. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and confirm that the material weakness has been remediated though our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2018.
In September 2015, we settled an administrative proceeding instituted by the SEC in which the SEC ordered us to cease and desist from committing, or causing, any violations and any future violations of the periodic reporting, books and records, and internal control provisions of the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported withinof 1934, as amended. The existence of the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officerabove-referenced material weakness, and the Chieffailure to discover and disclose such material weakness in periodic reports filed prior to the Annual Report on Form10-K/A for the year ended January 28, 2017, means that we have not been in compliance with the cease and desist order.
We assessed the effect of the material weakness on these Condensed Consolidated Financial Officer,Statements to ensure they were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the consolidated financial position, financial results of operation and cash flows as appropriateof and for the six months ended July 29, 2017. Based on these additional procedures and assessment, we concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Except as described above in regards to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Therethe remediation process, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
See the discussion of legal proceedings in Note 4 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended January 30, 2016.28, 2017.
