FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include references to our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” and “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenues, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates, and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth, initiatives, or strategies, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:

•possible inability to successfully implement our long-term strategic plans, including Project Restoration;

•possible declines in our comparable sales;

•possible inability to maintain and enhance our brands;

•possible failure of our multi-channel distribution model;

•possible adverse changes in general economic conditions and their impact on consumer confidence and consumer spending, including political unrest, social unrest, acts of war and terrorism, and other related matters;

•possible inability to predict and respond in a timely manner to changes in consumer demand;

•possible inability to successfully open new stores and/or operate current stores as planned;

•possible loss of key management or design associates or inability to attract and retain the talent required for our business;

•possible data security or privacy breaches or disruptions in our computer systems or websites;

•possible disruptions in our supply chain;

•possible new or increased tariffs on our products and increases in inbound and outbound freight expense that could lead to increased product costs and lower profit margins; and

•public health pandemics and actions by governmental or other actors regarding containment.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating plans and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

For a discussion of the above described risks and uncertainties and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, as well as in Item 1A herein.

We caution you that the risks and uncertainties identified by us may not be all of the factors that are important to you. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

1.Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

The term “Company” refers to Vera Bradley, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, except where the context requires otherwise or where otherwise indicated.

Vera Bradley, Inc. operates two unique lifestyle brands – Vera Bradley and Pura Vida. We believe Vera Bradley and Pura Vida are complementary businesses, both with devoted, emotionally-connected, and multi-generational female customer bases; alignment as causal, comfortable, affordable, and fun brands; positioning as “gifting” and socially-connected brands; strong, entrepreneurial cultures; a keen focus on community, charity, and social consciousness; multi-channel distribution strategies; and talented leadership teams aligned and committed to the long-term success of their brands.

Vera Bradley is a leading designer of women’s handbags, luggage and travel items, fashion and home accessories, and unique gifts. Founded in 1982 by friends Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller, the brand’s innovative designs, iconic patterns, and brilliant colors continue to inspire and connect women.

In July 2019, Vera Bradley, Inc. acquired a 75% interest in Creative Genius, Inc., which also operates under the name Pura Vida Bracelets (“Pura Vida”). On January 30, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining 25% interest in Pura Vida. Pura Vida, based in La Jolla, California, is a digitally native lifestyle brand that we believe deeply resonates with its loyal consumer following. The Pura Vida brand has a differentiated and expanding offering of bracelets, jewelry, and other lifestyle accessories.

The Company has three reportable segments: Vera Bradley Direct (“VB Direct”), Vera Bradley Indirect (“VB Indirect”), and Pura Vida.

•The VB Direct segment consists of sales of Vera Bradley products through Vera Bradley full-line and outlet stores in the United States; e-commerce sites (verabradley.com, outlet.verabradley.com, and international.verabradley.com); and the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of August 3, 2024, the Company operated 40 full-line stores and 81 outlet stores.

•The VB Indirect segment consists of revenues generated through the distribution of Vera Bradley-branded products to specialty retailers representing approximately 1,450 locations, substantially all of which are located in the United States; key accounts, which include department stores, national accounts, third-party e-commerce sites, and third-party inventory liquidators; and royalties recognized through licensing agreements related to the Vera Bradley brand.

•The Pura Vida segment represents revenues generated through the Pura Vida websites (www.puravidabracelets.com and www.puravidabracelets.eu); through the distribution of Pura Vida-branded products to wholesale retailers, substantially all of which are located in the United States; and through its six retail stores.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, filed with the SEC.

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to, in part, seasonal fluctuations in the business and the uncertainty of macroeconomic factors on future periods, including inflation and other related matters..

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, were $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The balance as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024 consisted of unredeemed gift cards, unearned revenue related to the monthly bracelet and jewelry clubs of the Pura Vida segment, Pura Vida loyalty club points, and Pura Vida customer deposits and payments collected before shipment. These contract liabilities are recognized within other accrued liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all contract liabilities are recognized within one year. The Company did not have contract assets as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024.

The balance for accounts receivable from contracts with customers, net of allowances, as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, was $24.5 million and $16.4 million, respectively, which is recognized within accounts receivable, net, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for doubtful accounts was $1.1 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts is based upon the likelihood of default expected during the life of the receivable.

Performance Obligations

The performance obligations for the VB Direct, VB Indirect, and Pura Vida segments include the promise to transfer distinct goods (or a bundle of distinct goods). The VB Indirect segment also includes the right to access intellectual property (“IP”) related to the Vera Bradley brand.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company does not have remaining performance obligations in excess of one year or contracts that it does not have the right to invoice as of August 3, 2024.

3.Leases

Discount Rate

The weighted-average discount rate as of August 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023 was 4.9% and 4.7%, respectively. The discount rate is not readily determinable in the lease; therefore, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate, at the commencement date of each lease, which is the rate of interest it would have to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.

Leases Not Yet Commenced

As of August 3, 2024, the Company had six leases which were executed but for which it did not have control of the underlying assets; therefore, the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These leases contain undiscounted lease payments, which will be included in the determination of the lease liability, totaling approximately $5.9 million and have a term of approximately 5 years commencing in fiscal year 2025.

4.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares represent outstanding restricted stock units.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	August 3, 2024		July 29, 2023		August 3, 2024		July 29, 2023

Dilutive effect of stock-based awards	527		238		—		361
Weighted-average number of common shares (diluted)	29,817		31,139		29,972		31,208

Net income (loss) per share:

Diluted	$	0.19	$	0.30	$	(0.08)	$	0.15

For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, all potential common shares were excluded from the diluted share calculation because they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss in the period.

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, and the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023, there were an immaterial number of additional shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive.

5.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The carrying amounts reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, approximated their fair values.

(unaudited)

The following table details the fair value measurements of the Company's investments as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024 (in thousands):


	Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
	August 3, 2024		February 3, 2024		August 3, 2024		February 3, 2024		August 3, 2024		February 3, 2024
Cash equivalents(1)	$	25,562	$	55,262	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—














(1) Cash equivalents primarily represent a money market fund that has a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Due to the short maturity, the Company believes the carrying value approximates fair value.

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets, which includes property, plant, and equipment and lease right-of-use assets, on a quarterly basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Store-level assets and right-of-use assets are grouped at the individual store-level for the purpose of the impairment assessment. Recoverability of an asset group is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. The fair value of the store assets is determined using the discounted future cash flow method of anticipated cash flows through the store’s lease-end date using fair value measurement inputs classified as Level 3. The fair value of right-of-use assets is estimated using market comparative information for similar properties. Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. There were no long-lived asset impairment charges for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

The discounted cash flow models used to estimate the applicable fair values involve numerous estimates and assumptions that are highly subjective. Changes to these estimates and assumptions could materially impact the fair value estimates. The estimates and assumptions critical to the overall fair value estimates include: (1) estimated future cash flow generated at the store level; (2) discount rates used to derive the present value factors used in determining the fair values; and (3) market rentals at the retail store. These and other estimates and assumptions are impacted by economic conditions and our expectations and may change in the future based on period-specific facts and circumstances. If economic conditions were to deteriorate, future impairment charges may be required which may be material.

On a nonrecurring basis, assets recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements include items such as property, plant, and equipment, including leasehold improvements, and operating lease assets, as well as intangible assets related to the Pura Vida acquisition. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired. There were no intangible asset impairment charges recorded during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023. Refer to Note 13 herein for additional information.

6.Debt

The Credit Agreement provides for certain credit facilities to VBD in an aggregate principal amount not to initially exceed the lesser of $75.0 million or the amount of borrowing availability determined in accordance with a borrowing base of certain assets. Any proceeds of the credit facilities will be used to finance general corporate purposes of VBD and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to Vera Bradley International, LLC, Vera Bradley Sales, LLC, and Creative Genius, LLC (collectively, the “Named Subsidiaries”). The Credit Agreement also contains an option for VBD to arrange with lenders to increase the aggregate principal amount by up to $50.0 million.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) for CBFR borrowings (including swingline loans), the CB Floating Rate, where the CB Floating Rate is the greater of the prime rate or 2.5%, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage spread ranging from -1.25% to -1.50%, (ii) for

each Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, where the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is the Term SOFR rate for such interest period plus 0.10% for the interest period in effect for such borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, or (iii) for RFR Loans, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, where the adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is equal to the Daily Simple SOFR plus 0.10%, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, and Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the administrative agent. The Credit Agreement also requires VBD to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving facility of up to 0.30% per annum.

VBD’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and the Named Subsidiaries. The obligations of VBD under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the respective assets of VBD, the Company, and the Named Subsidiaries and are further secured by the equity interests in VBD and the Named Subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to incur debt or liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; make certain investments, acquisitions, loans, and advances; sell assets; enter into certain swap agreements; pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and amend, modify, or waive any of its rights related to subordinated indebtedness and certain charter and other organizational, governing, and material agreements. The Company may avoid certain of such restrictions by meeting payment conditions defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also requires the loan parties, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 during periods when borrowing availability is less than the greater of (A) $9.4 million, and (B) 12.5% of the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolving commitment, and (ii) the borrowing base. The fixed charge coverage ratio, availability, aggregate revolving commitment, and the borrowing base are further defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among other things: (i) the failure to pay any principal, interest, or other fees under the Credit Agreement; (ii) the making of any materially incorrect representation or warranty; (iii) the failure to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or agreement in the Credit Agreement or related agreements; (iv) a cross default with respect to other material indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency events; (vi) unsatisfied material final judgments; (vii) Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) events that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (viii) a change in control (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Credit Agreement matures in May 2028.

As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and availability of $75.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

7.Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to estimate the Company’s annual effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, was (77.5)%, compared to 28.0% for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in the projection of the Company's annual income in the current fiscal quarter. The year-over-year effective tax rate also reflects the relative impact of permanent and discrete items in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period, primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation.

The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, was 68.3%, compared to 29.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in the projection of the Company's annual income in the current fiscal quarter. The year-over-year effective tax rate also reflects the relative impact of permanent and discrete items in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period, primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation.

Refer to Note 12 herein for information regarding the deferred income tax adjustment associated with the purchase of the remaining 25% interest in Pura Vida on January 30, 2023.

8.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, for its awards of restricted stock units, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award.

The Company reserved 6,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance or transfer under the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended, which allows for grants of restricted stock units, as well as other equity awards. The Company maintains the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan for awards granted prior to the effectiveness of the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan.

Awards of Restricted Stock Units

During the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, the Company granted 14,612 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $0.1 million to certain employees under the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan compared to 195,617 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $1.1 million in the same period of the prior year.

During the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, the Company granted 755,647 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $5.1 million to certain employees and non-employee directors under the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan compared to 738,187 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $4.3 million in the same period of the prior year.

Time-based restricted stock units vest and settle in shares of the Company’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis, with most vesting in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors vest after a one-year period from the grant date. The Company recognizes the expense relating to these units, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Performance-based restricted stock units vest upon the completion of a three-year period of time (cliff vesting), subject to the employee’s continuing employment throughout and the Company’s achievement of annual earnings per share targets, or other Company performance targets, during the three-year performance period. The Company recognizes the expense relating to these units, net of estimated forfeitures, based on the probable outcome of achievement of the financial targets, on a straight-line basis over three years.

The following table sets forth a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 (units in thousands):


	Time-based Restricted Stock Units			Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
	Number of Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)		Number of Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)
Nonvested units outstanding at February 3, 2024	683	$	4.58	840	$	4.42
Granted	422	6.71		333	6.71
Vested	(234)	6.77		(47)	10.22
Forfeited	(18)	6.48		(35)	6.57
Nonvested units outstanding at August 3, 2024	853	$	5.91	1,091	$	5.82

As of August 3, 2024, there was $5.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years, subject to meeting performance conditions.

9.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including those relating to product liability, legal claims, employee benefits, environmental issues, and other matters. Management believes that at this time it is not probable that any of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to uncertainty, and future developments could cause these actions or claims, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of a particular reporting period.

In August of 2024, Marishka Filio filed suit seeking class certification for those who purchased products from the Company’s website Verabradley.com during the applicable statute of limitations. The complaint alleges various violations of the California Invasion of Privacy Act and the California Unfair Competition Law. The Company denies all liability and intends to vigorously defend itself in the case. At this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter and do not believe that such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations due to the fact that the Company is vigorously defending itself and management believes that the Company has a number of meritorious legal defenses.

10.Common Stock

In December 2021, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”) which authorized Company management to utilize up to $50.0 million of available cash for repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program went into effect beginning December 13, 2021 and expires in December 2024.

The Company purchased 2,321,434 shares at an average price of $6.85 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate amount of $15.9 million during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. There was $9.6 million remaining available to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program as of August 3, 2024.

As of August 3, 2024, the Company held as treasury shares 14,760,678 shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.23 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate carrying amount of $151.0 million. The Company’s treasury shares may be issued under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (with respect to outstanding awards under that plan), under the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan, or for other corporate purposes.

11.Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes implementation costs associated with its Cloud Computing Arrangements (“CCA”) consistent with costs capitalized for internal-use software. The CCA costs are amortized over the term of the related hosting agreement, taking into consideration renewal options, if any. The renewal period is included in the amortization period if determined that the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The amortization expense is recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is within the same line item as the related hosting fees. The balance of the unamortized CCA implementation costs totaled $3.0 million and $3.8 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Of this total, $2.0 million and $2.8 million was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $1.0 million was recorded within other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. The CCA implementation costs are recorded within operating activities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

12.Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable noncontrolling interest represented the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) interest in Pura Vida not acquired by the Company until January 30, 2023.

On July 16, 2019, the Company purchased 75% of Pura Vida's outstanding equity interest and entered into a Put/Call Agreement with the Sellers (the “Put/Call Agreement”) providing for certain rights with respect to the purchase by the Company and sale by the Sellers of the Remaining Pura Vida Interests. On January 23, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Creative

Table of Contents

(unaudited)

Genius Holdings, Inc. a California corporation, Creative Genius Investments, Inc., a California corporation, Griffin Thall, and Paul Goodman (collectively “Sellers”) to purchase the remaining 25% of the outstanding membership interests (the “Remaining Pura Vida Interests”) of Creative Genius, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Pura Vida”).

Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, on the closing date (January 30, 2023), the Company acquired the Remaining Pura Vida Interests (the “Transaction”) in exchange for cash consideration consisting of $10.0 million paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments. The Transaction was not subject to financing conditions. The Company’s existing available cash and cash equivalents funded the purchase price. Following completion of the Transaction, the Company owns 100% of the ownership interests in Pura Vida.

The Interest Purchase Agreement provides that, as of the closing of the Transaction, all rights and obligations of the Company and the Sellers under any agreements among the parties, including the Put/Call Agreement, were terminated.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company recorded a decrease to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $10.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interest resulted in $0.7 million recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023. In addition, there was an APIC adjustment of $0.6 million related to deferred income taxes for the purchase of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. The total APIC adjustment for this matter during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023, was $1.3 million.

15.Segment Reporting

The Company has three operating segments, which are also its reportable segments: VB Direct, VB Indirect, and Pura Vida. These operating segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the performance of the segments.

The VB Direct segment includes Vera Bradley full-line and outlet stores; e-commerce sites (verabradley.com, outlet.verabradley.com, and international.verabradley.com); and the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale. Revenues generated from this segment are driven through the sale of Vera Bradley-branded products from Vera Bradley to end consumers.

The VB Indirect segment represents revenues generated through the distribution of Vera Bradley-branded products to specialty retailers representing approximately 1,450 locations, substantially all of which are located in the United States; key accounts, which include department stores, national accounts, third-party e-commerce sites, and third-party inventory liquidators; and royalties recognized through licensing agreements related to the Vera Bradley brand.

The Pura Vida segment represents revenues generated through the Pura Vida websites (www.puravidabracelets.com and www.puravidabracelets.eu); through the distribution of Pura Vida-branded products to wholesale retailers, substantially all of which are located in the United States; and through the Pura Vida retail stores.

Corporate costs represent the Company’s administrative expenses, which include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, design, product development, merchandising, corporate-level marketing and advertising, and various other corporate-level-activity-related expenses not directly attributable to a reportable segment. All intercompany-related activities are eliminated in consolidation and are excluded from the segment reporting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the condensed consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of the Company as of and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Strategic Progress, Macroeconomic Factors, and Other Factors Impacting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Strategic Progress. We launched the first of our customer-facing stages of Project Restoration in July of fiscal 2025, which included new products, store remodels, website redesigns, and customer marketing. Project Restoration is focused on four key pillars of the business (Consumer, Brand, Product, and Channel) for each brand to help drive long-term profitable growth.

In addition, we continued to identify cost reductions as part of our overall plan to right-size the expense structure of our Company and lay the groundwork for success to help drive long-term profitable growth. Savings are being derived across various areas of the Company, including retail store efficiencies, marketing expenses, information technology contracts, professional services, logistics and operational costs, and corporate payroll. We will continue to review our expense structure for additional cost reduction opportunities.

Macroeconomic and Other Factors. We have been impacted by higher tariffs from previously duty-free countries, where we source products, as a result of the expiration of the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) duty-free status at the end of calendar year 2020. In addition, the macroeconomic environment has been further challenged by inflationary pressures and other related factors that have impacted consumer discretionary spending. We continued to see weakness in both the Vera Bradley outlet store business and full line stores in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Additionally, the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale was held in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, a timing shift from the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures.

Net Revenues

Net revenues reflect sales of our merchandise and revenue from distribution and shipping and handling fees, less returns and discounts. Revenues for the VB Direct segment reflect sales through Vera Bradley full-line and outlet stores; e-commerce sites (verabradley.com, outlet.verabradley.com, and international.verabradley.com); and the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale. Revenues for the VB Indirect segment reflect sales of Vera Bradley-branded products to specialty retail partners; key accounts consisting of department stores, national accounts, third-party e-commerce sites, and third-party inventory liquidators; and royalties recognized through licensing agreements related to the Vera Bradley brand. Revenues for the Pura Vida segment reflect revenues generated through the Pura Vida websites (www.puravidabracelets.com and www.puravidabracelets.eu); through the distribution of Pura Vida-branded products to wholesale retailers; and through Pura Vida retail stores.

Comparable Sales

Comparable sales are calculated based upon our stores that have been open for at least 12 full fiscal months and net revenues from our Vera Bradley e-commerce operations. Remodeled stores are included in both comparable sales and comparable store sales unless the store was closed for more than one week of the current or comparable prior period, in which case the non-comparable temporary closure periods are not included, or the remodel resulted in a significant change in square footage. Some of our competitors and other retailers calculate comparable or “same store” sales differently than we do. As a result, data in this report regarding our comparable sales and comparable store sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other companies. Non-comparable sales include sales from stores not included in comparable sales or comparable store sales.

Measuring the change in year-over-year comparable sales allows us and our investors to evaluate how our store base and e-commerce operations are performing. Various factors affect our comparable sales, including:

•Overall economic trends;

•Consumer preferences and fashion trends;

•Competition;

Table of Contents

•The timing of our releases of new patterns and collections;

•Changes in our product mix;

•Pricing, as well as timing and level of promotions;

•Amount of store, mall, and e-commerce traffic;

•The level of customer service that we provide in stores and to our on-line customers;

•Our ability to source and distribute products efficiently;

•The number of stores we open and close in any period; and

•The timing and success of promotional and marketing efforts.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net revenues less our cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, distribution center costs, operations overhead, duties, all inbound freight costs incurred, and inventory adjustments, if any. The components of our reported cost of sales may not be comparable to those of other retail and wholesale companies.

Gross profit can be impacted by changes in volume; fluctuations in sales price; inbound freight and other logistical costs; operational efficiencies, such as leveraging of fixed costs; promotional activities, including free shipping; commodity prices, such as for cotton; tariffs; and labor costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses include selling; advertising, marketing, and product development; and administrative expenses. Selling expenses include:

•VB Direct business expenses, such as store expenses, employee compensation, and store occupancy and supply costs;

•VB Indirect business expenses consisting primarily of employee compensation and other expenses associated with sales to Indirect retailers; and

•Pura Vida business expenses primarily related to employee compensation and store expenses.

Advertising, marketing, and product development expenses include employee compensation, media costs, creative production expenses, marketing agency fees, new product design costs, public relations expenses, and market research expenses. Administrative expenses include employee compensation for corporate functions, corporate headquarters occupancy costs, consulting and software expenses, and charitable donations, as well as severance charges and consulting fees associated with cost savings initiatives disclosed in Note 14 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) is equal to gross profit less SG&A expenses plus other income, net. Operating income (loss) excludes interest income, interest expense, and income taxes.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) is equal to operating income (loss) plus interest income less interest expense and income taxes.

Impairment Charges

Intangible Assets

We perform our annual impairment test of the indefinite-lived Pura Vida brand during the second quarter of each fiscal year.

Refer to Note 15 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, for additional information regarding the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test and impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2024. There were no impairment charges recorded during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023. We are unable to predict the extent of the impact that the inflationary environment could have on our operations, the economy, or other factors; therefore, it is possible additional impairments could be identified in future periods, and such amounts could be material.

Table of Contents

Long-lived Assets

Property, plant, and equipment and lease right-of-use assets (the “asset group” for store-related assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. The reviews are conducted at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset group are less than the carrying value, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, as further defined in Note 5 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. There were no impairment charges recorded during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023. We are unable to predict the extent of the impact that the inflationary environment could have on our operations, the economy, or other factors; therefore, it is possible additional impairments could be identified in future periods, and such amounts could be material.

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 3, 2024, Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended July 29, 2023

Net Revenues

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net revenues decreased $17.4 million, or 13.5%, to $110.8 million, from $128.2 million in the comparable prior-year period.

VB Direct. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net revenues in the VB Direct segment decreased $13.5 million, or 15.7%, to $72.2 million, from $85.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. Vera Bradley comparable sales decreased 11.2%, which includes a 14.1% decrease in comparable store sales and a 5.3% decrease in e-commerce sales. In addition, non-comparable store revenue decreased $0.5 million. The decrease in comparable store sales was primarily due to reduced traffic and lower average transaction size in the outlet and full-line channels. In addition, the decrease in net revenues was attributed to a timing shift of sales from the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale held during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

VB Indirect. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net revenues in the VB Indirect segment increased $4.4 million, or 25.3%, to $21.8 million, from $17.4 million in the comparable prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to a significant liquidation order in the current-year period, as well as an increase in key account orders, partially offset by a decrease in specialty account orders.

Pura Vida. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net revenues in the Pura Vida segment decreased $8.3 million, or 33.0%, to $16.8 million, from $25.1 million in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in e-commerce and wholesale sales, partially offset by an increase in retail store sales associated with the opening of a new retail store in the current-year period.

Gross Profit

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, gross profit decreased $15.6 million, or 21.7%, to $56.4 million, from $72.0 million in the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit decreased to 50.9% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, from 56.2% in the comparable prior-year period.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $5.8 million, or 9.7%, to $53.6 million, from $59.4 million in the comparable prior-year period.

SG&A expenses related to Vera Bradley and corporate unallocated were $44.0 million compared to $47.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. SG&A expenses related to Pura Vida were $9.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, consolidated SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to a $4.6 million reduction in employee-related costs, including lower variable compensation and reduced headcount, and a $1.8 million reduction in other expenses including variable selling expenses resulting from sales decreases as described above, variable lease costs, certain professional fees, and other cost reduction initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in advertising spend, largely associated with Project Restoration initiatives.

Other Income, Net

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net other income decreased $0.2 million to $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease in net other income was primarily due to the timing shift of ticket sales from the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale which took place in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Operating Income

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, operating income decreased $10.0 million, or 77.7%, to $2.9 million in the current-year period, from $12.9 million in the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of net revenues, operating income was 2.6% and 10.0% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. Operating income decreased due to the factors described in the captions above.

VB Direct. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, operating income in the VB Direct segment decreased $7.2 million, or 34.9%, to $13.4 million from $20.6 million in the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of VB Direct segment net revenues, operating income in the VB Direct segment was 18.6% and 24.1% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of VB Direct segment net revenues was primarily

Table of Contents

due to a decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenues as described above, as well as SG&A expense deleverage associated with decreased sales.

VB Indirect. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, operating income in the VB Indirect segment decreased $1.5 million, or 23.6%, to $4.7 million from $6.2 million in the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of VB Indirect segment net revenues, operating income in the VB Indirect segment was 21.8% and 35.7% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of VB Indirect segment net revenues was due to a decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenues as described above.

Pura Vida. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, operating income in the Pura Vida segment decreased $3.9 million, or 97.8%, to $0.1 million from $4.0 million in the comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of Pura Vida segment net revenues, operating income in the Pura Vida segment was 0.5% and 15.9% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of Pura Vida net revenues was primarily due to SG&A expense deleverage associated with a decrease in sales, excluding non-comparable stores.

Corporate Unallocated. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, unallocated expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 14.3%, to $15.4 million from $18.0 million in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease in unallocated expenses was primarily due to a decrease in employee related expenses of $2.8 million and $0.2 million in other net corporate expense reductions. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in advertising expenses associated with Project Restoration initiatives.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Net Income

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, net income decreased $3.6 million to $5.7 million from $9.3 million in the comparable prior-year period due to the factors described in the captions above.

The decrease in comparable sales and comparable store sales was primarily due to reduced traffic and lower average transaction size in the outlet and full-line channels.

VB Indirect. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, net revenues in the VB Indirect segment increased $0.6 million, or 1.7%, to $33.3 million, from $32.7 million in the comparable prior-year period.

The decrease in operating income as a percentage of VB Direct segment net revenues was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenues as described above, as well as SG&A expense deleverage associated with decreased sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash equivalents, as well as cash flow from operations. We also have access to additional liquidity, if needed, through borrowings under our $75.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). There was no debt outstanding as of August 3, 2024. Historically, our primary cash needs have been for merchandise inventories; payroll; store rent; capital expenditures associated with operational equipment, buildings, information technology, and opening new stores; and share repurchases. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities.

We believe that cash on hand and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities, and the availability of borrowings under our Credit Agreement or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures, and other strategic uses of cash, if any, for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flow Analysis

A summary of operating, investing, and financing activities is shown in the following table (in thousands):


	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	August 3, 2024		July 29, 2023
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(13,151)	$	15,975
Net cash used in investing activities	(3,649)		(11,727)
Net cash used in financing activities	(16,356)		(2,357)

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities consists primarily of net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, deferred taxes, and stock-based compensation; and the effect of changes in assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 was $13.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily related to a net loss of $(2.4) million, a $7.0 million decrease, from net income in the comparable prior-year period, a change in non-cash items of $3.8 million, as well as a change in assets and liabilities of $18.3 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Investing activities consist primarily of investments and capital expenditures related to new store openings, buildings, operational equipment, and information technology investments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared to $11.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was a result of the purchase of the remaining 25% interest in Pura Vida for $10.0 million in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in property, plant, and equipment spending primarily as a result of Vera Bradley relocations in the current year and Project Restoration initiatives.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $16.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared to $2.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $15.9 million of common stock repurchases in the current-year period compared to $1.4 million in the comparable prior-year period.

Credit Agreement

On September 7, 2018, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. (“VBD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an asset-based revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among VBD, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. On August 3, 2023, certain subsidiaries of the Company, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and lenders from time to time party thereto, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for certain credit facilities to VBD in an aggregate principal amount not to initially exceed the lesser of $75.0 million or the amount of borrowing availability determined in accordance with a borrowing base of certain assets. Borrowings under the credit facilities are available to finance general corporate purposes of VBD and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to Vera Bradley International, LLC, Vera Bradley Sales, LLC, and Creative Genius, LLC (collectively, the “Named Subsidiaries”). The Credit Agreement also contains an option for VBD to arrange with lenders to increase the aggregate principal amount by up to $50.0 million.

For further information regarding the Credit Agreement, please see Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024.

Certain accounting policies and estimates of the Company are considered critical, as these policies and estimates are the most important to the depiction of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and require significant, difficult, or complex judgments, often about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024. There were no significant changes to any of the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report as of August 3, 2024.

Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation	Aug. 03, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation	Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation The term “Company” refers to Vera Bradley, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, except where the context requires otherwise or where otherwise indicated. Vera Bradley, Inc. operates two unique lifestyle brands – Vera Bradley and Pura Vida. We believe Vera Bradley and Pura Vida are complementary businesses, both with devoted, emotionally-connected, and multi-generational female customer bases; alignment as causal, comfortable, affordable, and fun brands; positioning as “gifting” and socially-connected brands; strong, entrepreneurial cultures; a keen focus on community, charity, and social consciousness; multi-channel distribution strategies; and talented leadership teams aligned and committed to the long-term success of their brands. Vera Bradley is a leading designer of women’s handbags, luggage and travel items, fashion and home accessories, and unique gifts. Founded in 1982 by friends Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller, the brand’s innovative designs, iconic patterns, and brilliant colors continue to inspire and connect women. In July 2019, Vera Bradley, Inc. acquired a 75% interest in Creative Genius, Inc., which also operates under the name Pura Vida Bracelets (“Pura Vida”). On January 30, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining 25% interest in Pura Vida. Pura Vida, based in La Jolla, California, is a digitally native lifestyle brand that we believe deeply resonates with its loyal consumer following. The Pura Vida brand has a differentiated and expanding offering of bracelets, jewelry, and other lifestyle accessories. The Company has three reportable segments: Vera Bradley Direct (“VB Direct”), Vera Bradley Indirect (“VB Indirect”), and Pura Vida. •The VB Direct segment consists of sales of Vera Bradley products through Vera Bradley full-line and outlet stores in the United States; e-commerce sites (verabradley.com, outlet.verabradley.com, and international.verabradley.com); and the Vera Bradley annual outlet sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of August 3, 2024, the Company operated 40 full-line stores and 81 outlet stores. •The VB Indirect segment consists of revenues generated through the distribution of Vera Bradley-branded products to specialty retailers representing approximately 1,450 locations, substantially all of which are located in the United States; key accounts, which include department stores, national accounts, third-party e-commerce sites, and third-party inventory liquidators; and royalties recognized through licensing agreements related to the Vera Bradley brand. •The Pura Vida segment represents revenues generated through the Pura Vida websites (www.puravidabracelets.com and www.puravidabracelets.eu); through the distribution of Pura Vida-branded products to wholesale retailers, substantially all of which are located in the United States; and through its six retail stores. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, filed with the SEC. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to, in part, seasonal fluctuations in the business and the uncertainty of macroeconomic factors on future periods, including inflation and other related matters.. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Pura Vida. The Company has eliminated intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. Fiscal Periods The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to the fiscal quarters ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 refer to the thirteen week periods ended on those dates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or which became effective during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, which had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt	Aug. 03, 2024
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt On September 7, 2018, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. (“VBD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an asset-based revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among VBD, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. On August 3, 2023, certain subsidiaries of the Company, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and lenders from time to time party thereto, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated September 7, 2018. The Credit Agreement provides for certain credit facilities to VBD in an aggregate principal amount not to initially exceed the lesser of $75.0 million or the amount of borrowing availability determined in accordance with a borrowing base of certain assets. Any proceeds of the credit facilities will be used to finance general corporate purposes of VBD and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to Vera Bradley International, LLC, Vera Bradley Sales, LLC, and Creative Genius, LLC (collectively, the “Named Subsidiaries”). The Credit Agreement also contains an option for VBD to arrange with lenders to increase the aggregate principal amount by up to $50.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) for CBFR borrowings (including swingline loans), the CB Floating Rate, where the CB Floating Rate is the greater of the prime rate or 2.5%, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage spread ranging from -1.25% to -1.50%, (ii) for each Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, where the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is the Term SOFR rate for such interest period plus 0.10% for the interest period in effect for such borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, or (iii) for RFR Loans, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, where the adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate is equal to the Daily Simple SOFR plus 0.10%, plus the Applicable Rate, where the Applicable Rate is a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, and Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the administrative agent. The Credit Agreement also requires VBD to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving facility of up to 0.30% per annum. VBD’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and the Named Subsidiaries. The obligations of VBD under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the respective assets of VBD, the Company, and the Named Subsidiaries and are further secured by the equity interests in VBD and the Named Subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to incur debt or liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; make certain investments, acquisitions, loans, and advances; sell assets; enter into certain swap agreements; pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and amend, modify, or waive any of its rights related to subordinated indebtedness and certain charter and other organizational, governing, and material agreements. The Company may avoid certain of such restrictions by meeting payment conditions defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the loan parties, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 during periods when borrowing availability is less than the greater of (A) $9.4 million, and (B) 12.5% of the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolving commitment, and (ii) the borrowing base. The fixed charge coverage ratio, availability, aggregate revolving commitment, and the borrowing base are further defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among other things: (i) the failure to pay any principal, interest, or other fees under the Credit Agreement; (ii) the making of any materially incorrect representation or warranty; (iii) the failure to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or agreement in the Credit Agreement or related agreements; (iv) a cross default with respect to other material indebtedness; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency events; (vi) unsatisfied material final judgments; (vii) Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) events that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (viii) a change in control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement matures in May 2028. As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and availability of $75.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Aug. 03, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for interim periods is based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to estimate the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, was (77.5)%, compared to 28.0% for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in the projection of the Company's annual income in the current fiscal quarter. The year-over-year effective tax rate also reflects the relative impact of permanent and discrete items in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period, primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation. The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, was 68.3%, compared to 29.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in the projection of the Company's annual income in the current fiscal quarter. The year-over-year effective tax rate also reflects the relative impact of permanent and discrete items in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period, primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation. Refer to Note 12 herein for information regarding the deferred income tax adjustment associated with the purchase of the remaining 25% interest in Pura Vida on January 30, 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies	Aug. 03, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including those relating to product liability, legal claims, employee benefits, environmental issues, and other matters. Management believes that at this time it is not probable that any of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to uncertainty, and future developments could cause these actions or claims, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of a particular reporting period. In August of 2024, Marishka Filio filed suit seeking class certification for those who purchased products from the Company’s website Verabradley.com during the applicable statute of limitations. The complaint alleges various violations of the California Invasion of Privacy Act and the California Unfair Competition Law. The Company denies all liability and intends to vigorously defend itself in the case. At this time, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter and do not believe that such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations due to the fact that the Company is vigorously defending itself and management believes that the Company has a number of meritorious legal defenses.

Deferred Costs, Capitalized, Prepaid, and Other Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Cloud Computing Arrangements	Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company capitalizes implementation costs associated with its Cloud Computing Arrangements (“CCA”) consistent with costs capitalized for internal-use software. The CCA costs are amortized over the term of the related hosting agreement, taking into consideration renewal options, if any.

The balance of the unamortized CCA implementation costs totaled $3.0 million and $3.8 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Of this total, $2.0 million and $2.8 million was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $1.0 million was recorded within other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest	Aug. 03, 2024
Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable noncontrolling interest represented the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) interest in Pura Vida not acquired by the Company until January 30, 2023. On July 16, 2019, the Company purchased 75% of Pura Vida's outstanding equity interest and entered into a Put/Call Agreement with the Sellers (the “Put/Call Agreement”) providing for certain rights with respect to the purchase by the Company and sale by the Sellers of the Remaining Pura Vida Interests. On January 23, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Creative Genius Holdings, Inc. a California corporation, Creative Genius Investments, Inc., a California corporation, Griffin Thall, and Paul Goodman (collectively “Sellers”) to purchase the remaining 25% of the outstanding membership interests (the “Remaining Pura Vida Interests”) of Creative Genius, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Pura Vida”). Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, on the closing date (January 30, 2023), the Company acquired the Remaining Pura Vida Interests (the “Transaction”) in exchange for cash consideration consisting of $10.0 million paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments. The Transaction was not subject to financing conditions. The Company’s existing available cash and cash equivalents funded the purchase price. Following completion of the Transaction, the Company owns 100% of the ownership interests in Pura Vida. The Interest Purchase Agreement provides that, as of the closing of the Transaction, all rights and obligations of the Company and the Sellers under any agreements among the parties, including the Put/Call Agreement, were terminated. As a result of the Transaction, the Company recorded a decrease to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $10.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the balance of the redeemable noncontrolling interest resulted in $0.7 million recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023. In addition, there was an APIC adjustment of $0.6 million related to deferred income taxes for the purchase of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. The total APIC adjustment for this matter during the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023, was $1.3 million.
