Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for Fiscal 2023, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024"), which is a 53-week year, and of the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 ("Fiscal 2023"). All subsidiaries are consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.

Genesco Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company", "Genesco," "we", "our", or "us") business includes the sourcing and design, marketing and distribution of footwear and accessories through retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada primarily under the Journeys®, Journeys Kidz®, Little Burgundy® and Johnston & Murphy® banners and under the Schuh® banner in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and the Republic of Ireland (“ROI”); through catalogs and e-commerce websites including the following: journeys.com, journeyskidz.com, journeys.ca, littleburgundyshoes.com, schuh.co.uk, schuh.ie, schuh.eu, johnstonmurphy.com, johnstonmurphy.ca, nashvilleshoewarehouse.com and dockersshoes.com and at wholesale, primarily under our Johnston & Murphy brand, the licensed Levi's® brand, the licensed Dockers® brand, the licensed G.H. Bass® brand and other brands that we license for footwear. At April 29, 2023, we operated 1,396 retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the U.K. and the ROI.
During the three months ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022, we operated four reportable business segments (not including corporate): (i) Journeys Group, comprised of the Journeys, Journeys Kidz and Little Burgundy retail footwear chains and e-commerce operations; (ii) Schuh Group, comprised of the Schuh retail footwear chain and e-commerce operations; (iii) Johnston & Murphy Group, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail operations, e-commerce operations and wholesale distribution of products under the Johnston & Murphy brand; and (iv) Genesco Brands Group, comprised of the licensed Dockers, Levi's, and G.H. Bass brands, as well as other brands we license for footwear.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
There were no cash equivalents as of April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023. There were $95.0 million in cash equivalents as of April 30, 2022 which were invested in institutional money market funds which invest exclusively in highly rated, short-term securities that are issued, guaranteed or collateralized by the U.S. government or by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Wholesale costs of distribution are included in selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the amount of $3.5 million and $2.7 million for the first quarters of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.
Retail occupancy costs recorded in selling and administrative expense were $76.4 million and $78.5 million for the first quarters of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs were $23.6 million and $22.1 million for the first quarters of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.

Goodwill Valuation (Genesco Brands Group)
We are currently in communication with a licensor regarding renewal of a Genesco Brands Group license. The carrying value of the Togast Goodwill within the Genesco Brands Group assumes current licenses are renewed in normal course. In the event a material license is not renewed, that may be considered an indicator of impairment and requiring assessment whether it is “more likely than not” that an impairment has occurred.

Legal Proceedings
Environmental Matters
The Company has legacy obligations including environmental monitoring and reporting costs related to: (i) a 2016 Consent Judgment entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency involving the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of ours from 1965 to 1969 in Garden City, New York; and (ii) a 2010 Consent Decree with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment relating to our former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. We do not expect that future obligations related to either of these sites will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Accrual for Environmental Contingencies
Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, we had accrued $1.7 million as of April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023 and $1.4 million accrued as of April 30, 2022. All such provisions reflect our estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted, including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent liabilities are included in the liability arising from provision for discontinued operations on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because they relate to former facilities operated by us. We have made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies which were not material for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023. These charges are included in loss from discontinued operations, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent changes in estimates.
In addition to the matters specifically described in this Note, we are a party to other legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. While management does not believe that our liability with respect to any of these other matters is likely to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could have a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
As part of our Genesco Brands Group business, we have a commitment to Samsung C&T America, Inc. (“Samsung”) related to the ultimate sale and valuation of inventories owned by Samsung. If product is sold below Samsung’s cost, we are required to pay to Samsung the difference between the sales price and its cost. At April 29, 2023, the inventory owned by Samsung had a historical cost of $15.9 million. As of April 29, 2023, we believe that we have appropriately accounted for any differences between the fair value of the Samsung inventory and Samsung's historical cost.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section discusses management’s view of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. This section should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, including the Risk Factors section, and information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes to those financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or the entire fiscal year.
Summary of Results of Operations
Our net sales decreased 7.2% to $483.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $520.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The sales decrease compared to last year's first quarter was driven by decreased store sales in Journeys Group, decreased wholesale sales and the unfavorable impact of $8.3 million in sales due primarily to foreign exchange pressure on the Schuh business from the strengthening dollar, partially offset by a 5% increase in e-commerce sales and strong store performance at Schuh and Johnston & Murphy. Journeys Group sales decreased 13% and Genesco Brands Group sales decreased 25%, or $11.7 million, while Schuh Group sales increased 6% and Johnston & Murphy Group sales increased 16% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Total comparable sales decreased 5% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, with same store sales down 8% and comparable direct sales up 8%.
Gross margin decreased 9.0% to $228.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $251.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 48.3% to 47.3%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflects decreased gross margin in Journeys Group due primarily to a more normalized promotional environment and increased markdowns, which offset improved gross margin as a percentage of sales in each of our other operating business units.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased 3.3% and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.8% to 52.0%, reflecting increased expenses as a percentage of net sales in all of our operating business units except Johnston & Murphy Group. The overall increase in expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the deleverage of expenses, especially compensation expense, selling salaries and occupancy expense as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Operating margin was (4.8%) in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to 1.6% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting decreased operating margin in Journeys Group and Genesco Brands Group, partially offset by improved margin in Schuh Group and Johnston & Murphy Group. The decrease in operating margin for the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year was driven by decreased net sales, decreased gross margin and increased expenses as percentage of net sales.
The effective income tax rate decreased from 36.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 to 23.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $1.60 per share in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.37 per share in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023. There have been no other significant changes in our definition of significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of Fiscal 2023.
Key Performance Indicators
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key performance indicators we use to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business are comparable sales, net sales, gross margin, operating income and operating margin. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.
15
Comparable Sales
We consider comparable sales to be an important indicator of our current performance, and investors may find it useful as such. Comparable sales results are important to achieve leveraging of our costs, including occupancy, selling salaries, depreciation, etc. Comparable sales also have a direct impact on our total net revenue, cash and working capital. We define "comparable sales" as sales from stores open longer than one year, beginning with the first day a store has comparable sales (which we refer to as "same store sales"), and sales from websites operated longer than one year and direct mail catalog sales (which we refer to in this report as "comparable direct sales"). Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if closed for more than seven days. Expanded stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation until the first day an expanded store has comparable prior year sales. Current year foreign exchange rates are applied to both current year and prior year comparable sales to achieve a consistent basis for comparison. We have disclosed comparable sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 but did not disclose comparable sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related extensive store closures during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. We believe that overall sales is a more meaningful metric during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Results of Operations – First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2023
Our net sales decreased 7.2% to $483.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $520.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The sales decrease compared to last year's first quarter was driven by decreased store sales in Journeys Group, decreased wholesale sales and the unfavorable impact of $8.3 million in sales due primarily to foreign exchange pressure on the Schuh business from the strengthening dollar, partially offset by a 5% increase in e-commerce sales and strong store performance at Schuh and Johnston & Murphy. Journeys Group sales decreased 13% and Genesco Brands Group sales decreased 25%, or $11.7 million, while Schuh Group sales increased 6% and Johnston & Murphy Group sales increased 16% for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Gross margin decreased 9.0% to $228.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $251.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 48.3% to 47.3%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflects decreased gross margin in Journeys Group due primarily to a more normalized promotional environment and increased markdowns, which offset improved gross margin as a percentage of sales in each of our other operating business units.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased 3.3% and increased as a percentage of net sales from 46.8% to 52.0%, reflecting increased expenses as a percentage of net sales in all of our operating business units except Johnston & Murphy Group. The overall increase in expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects the deleverage of expenses, especially compensation expense, selling salaries and occupancy expense as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following these introductory paragraphs.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes (“pretax loss”) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $24.7 million compared to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes ("pretax earnings") of $7.9 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The pretax loss for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 included asset impairments and other charges of $0.3 million for asset impairments. Pretax earnings for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 included an asset impairment and other gain of $0.3 million for a gain on the termination of the pension plan, partially offset by asset impairments.
We recorded an effective income tax rate of 23.7% and 36.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. The lower tax rate for the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year reflects a reduction in the amount of foreign losses for which we are unable to recognize a tax benefit.
The net loss in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $18.9 million, or $1.60 diluted loss per share compared to net earnings in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 of $4.9 million, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share.

Net sales from Journeys Group decreased 13.4% to $272.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, compared to $314.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily due to a total comparable sales decrease of 14% driven by decreased store sales partially offset by increased digital sales, and a 1% decrease in the average number of stores in the first quarter this year. The Journeys consumer, already pressured by inflation, did not respond to the change of seasons as we had anticipated as we shifted away from boots to spring merchandise, continuing instead to trade down to lower price points and take advantage of the abundance of discounted athletic product elsewhere in the market. In addition, Journeys saw lower store traffic and demand for select key styles during the first quarter this year. We are working diligently with our brands to reposition our product assortment at Journeys to meet the customer's appetite for newness. We expect to close more than 100 Journeys stores in Fiscal 2024 versus prior expectations to close 60 stores. In addition, we continue to conduct a holistic review of our cost structure. We expect to realize significant cost savings mostly from Journeys Group in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025. Journeys Group operated 1,115 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, including 232 Journeys Kidz stores, 42 Journeys stores in Canada and 34 Little Burgundy stores in Canada, compared to 1,130 stores at the end of the first quarter of last year, including 229 Journeys Kidz stores, 47 Journeys stores in Canada and 36 Little Burgundy stores in Canada.
Journeys Group had an operating loss of $18.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $14.9 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The $33.3 million decrease in operating income for Journeys Group was due to (i) decreased net sales, (ii) decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting increased markdowns with a more normalized promotional environment and (iii) increased selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflecting the deleverage of expenses, especially occupancy expense, selling salaries and compensation expense as a result of the decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.

Net sales from Schuh Group increased 5.6% to $93.1 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to $88.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, primarily due to increased total comparable sales of 13% driven by increased store sales and e-commerce sales, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $6.8 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Schuh Group sales set a record for first quarter sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Schuh's sales increased 13% on a local currency basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Schuh Group operated 123 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, compared to 122 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Schuh Group had an operating loss of $1.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The 34.8% improvement compared to last year's loss in Schuh Group reflects (i) increased net sales and (ii) increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting decreased shipping and warehouse expense and improved pricing. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, reflecting increased selling salaries, professional fees and compensation expense, partially offset by decreased occupancy expense. In addition, the operating loss included a favorable impact of $0.2 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates compared to last year.

Johnston & Murphy Group net sales increased 16.3% to $82.6 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $71.0 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, primarily due to a 19% increase in comparable sales, with increases in both store sales and e-commerce sales and increased wholesale sales. Johnston & Murphy has repositioned the brand to offer more casual and comfortable footwear and apparel and it continues to resonate well with its consumers in this post-pandemic environment which has fueled top line double-digit growth for nine consecutive quarters. Johnston & Murphy Group sales set a record for first quarter sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Retail operations accounted for 72.9% of Johnston & Murphy Group's sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, up from 70.5% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was 158 stores, including six stores in Canada, compared to 162 stores, including seven stores in Canada, at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
Johnston & Murphy Group operating income of $4.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 increased $4.2 million compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) increased net sales, (ii) increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales reflecting decreased airfreight costs, partially offset by increased warehouse costs and (iii) decreased selling and administrative expenses due to greater leverage of expenses as a result of revenue growth, especially decreased occupancy expense and selling salaries, partially offset by increased performance-based compensation expense.

Genesco Brands' net sales decreased 24.9%, or $11.7 million, to $35.4 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 from $47.1 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher sell-in last year as retailers were replenishing inventory due to supply chain constraints.
Genesco Brands' operating loss was essentially breakeven in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to operating income of $3.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. The $3.8 million decrease in operating income was primarily due to (i) decreased net sales and (ii) increased selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales reflecting deleverage of most expenses as a result of decreased revenue in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 reflecting a decrease in freight and logistics costs and changes in sales mix.
Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges
Corporate and other expense for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $7.6 million compared to $8.3 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. Corporate expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 included a $0.3 million charge in asset impairment and other charges for asset impairments. Corporate expense in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 included a gain of $0.3 million in asset impairment and other charges from a gain on the termination of the pension plan, partially offset by asset impairments. The corporate expense decrease, excluding asset impairment and other charges, primarily reflects duplicate rent expense and moving costs incurred in the prior year related to the new corporate headquarters.
Net interest expense increased $1.4 million to $1.7 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to net interest expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 primarily reflecting increased average borrowings and higher interest rates in the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Our business is seasonal, with our investment in working capital normally reaching peaks in the summer and fall of each year in anticipation of the back-to-school and holiday selling seasons. Historically, cash flows from operations typically have been generated principally in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Reasons for the major variances in cash used in the table above are as follows:
Cash used in operating activities was $31.6 million lower in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, reflecting primarily the following factors:
•a $114.9 million increase in cash flow from changes in inventory, primarily reflecting the re-inventorying of our operating business units in the first quarter last year due to the supply chain disruptions in Fiscal 2023 compared to a much smaller increase in inventory, primarily retail inventory, in the first quarter this year;
•a $39.4 million increase in cash flow from changes in other accrued liabilities, primarily reflecting a significantly lower payment of Fiscal 2023 performance-based compensation accruals in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023; partially offset by
•a $91.7 million decrease in cash flow from changes in accounts payable, primarily reflecting changes in buying patterns in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and the decrease in inventory growth year over year; and
•a $23.8 million decrease in net earnings.
Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million higher for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting increased capital expenditures primarily related to investments in retail stores, most of which was offset by decreased capital expenditures related to the new corporate headquarters building.
Cash provided by financing activities was $73.1 million higher in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 reflecting increased borrowings this year compared to the same period last year.
Sources of Liquidity and Future Capital Needs
We have three principal sources of liquidity: cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and our credit facilities discussed in Item 8, Note 8, "Long-Term Debt", to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023.
As of April 29, 2023, we have borrowed $98.9 million U.S. revolver borrowings, $15.2 million (£12.1 million) related to Genesco (UK) Limited and $4.0 million (C$5.5 million) related to Genesco Canada ULC. We were in compliance with all the relevant terms and conditions of the Credit Facility and Facility Agreement as of April 29, 2023.
We believe that cash on hand, cash provided by operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility and the Schuh Facility Agreement will be sufficient to support our liquidity needs in Fiscal 2024 and the foreseeable future.
In light of current store traffic trends and general consumer uncertainty we have identified approximately 100 Journeys stores for closure and continue our efforts in making occupancy costs more variable. In addition, we continue to conduct a holistic review of our cost structure. We expect to realize significant cost savings in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025. We expect that a significant portion of these savings will be realized by our Journeys Group.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, we implemented tax strategies allowed under the 5-year carryback provisions in the CARES Act which we believe will generate approximately $55 million of net tax refunds. We received approximately $26 million of such net tax refunds in Fiscal 2022
19
and anticipated receipt of the remaining outstanding net tax refund in Fiscal 2023. However, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, we were notified the IRS would conduct an audit of the periods related to the outstanding net tax refund. While we do not believe any uncertainty with the technical merits of the positions generating the net tax refunds exists, we do anticipate the timing of the net tax refund will be extended as a result of the audit process. Accordingly, we have recorded the outstanding refund to non-current prepaid income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 29, 2023.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations at April 29, 2023 increased 11% compared to January 28, 2023, primarily due to increased long-term debt, partially offset by decreased purchase obligations.
Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2024 are expected to be approximately $50 million to $55 million of which approximately 53% is for computer hardware, software and warehouse enhancements for initiatives to drive traffic and omni-channel capabilities and 47% is for new stores and remodels. We do not currently have any longer-term capital expenditures or other cash requirements other than as set forth above and in the contractual obligations table as disclosed in Item 7 of our Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K. We also do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Common Stock Repurchases
We repurchased 255,000 shares during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 at a cost of $9.2 million, or $35.96 per share. We have $25.0 million remaining as of April 29, 2023 under our expanded share repurchase authorization announced in February 2022. We repurchased 102,895 shares during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 at a cost of $6.5 million, or $63.17 per share. We accrued $4.8 million of share repurchases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 due to timing of the cash settlement and it is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended April 30, 2022. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, through June 8, 2023, we have repurchased 197,477 shares at a cost of $3.7 million, or $18.51 per share.
Environmental and Other Contingencies
We are subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Item 1, Note 8, "Legal Proceedings", to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Descriptions of recently issued accounting pronouncements, if any, and the accounting pronouncements adopted by us during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 are included in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
