• Risks Related to Our Growth
• The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business may not grow at similar rates, or at all.

• We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, and such growth may adversely affect our existing resources and cause us to encounter challenges we have not faced before.
• As we continue to pursue our international growth strategy, our success will largely depend on our ability to manage the unique challenges presented by international markets.
• Risks Related to Our Industry
• The global apparel industry is subject to intense pricing pressure.
• We operate in the highly competitive retail apparel industry, and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, which could adversely impact our growth and market share, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• We rely on consumer discretionary spending and may be adversely affected by economic downturns and other macroeconomic conditions or trends.
• Risks Related to Our Merchandise and Inventory
• If we are not able to successfully maintain our desired merchandise assortment or manage our inventory effectively, we may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers or sell sufficient quantities of our merchandise, which could result in excess inventories, markdowns, and foregone sales.
• Our ability to obtain merchandise on a timely basis at competitive prices could suffer as a result of any deterioration or change in our supplier relationships or events that adversely affect our suppliers or their ability to obtain financing for their operations.
• If new trade restrictions are imposed or existing trade restrictions become more burdensome, our ability to source imported merchandise efficiently and cost effectively could be materially adversely affected.

• Government regulation of the Internet and eCommerce is evolving and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
• Risks Related to the Supply of Our Products
• Our business, including our costs and supply chain, is subject to risks associated with sourcing, manufacturing, and warehousing.
• We have two distribution facilities and disruptions to the operations at these locations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• We rely on third-party suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and other suppliers, and they may not continue to produce products or provide services that are consistent with our standards or applicable regulatory requirements, which could harm our brand, cause consumer dissatisfaction, and require us to find alternative suppliers of our products or services.
• Many of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers are based in China, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business there.
• We plan to continue increasing the number of direct sourcing relationships with manufacturers overseas, but because our experience with direct sourcing is still relatively limited, we may be exposed to unforeseen risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Any failure by us or our suppliers to comply with product safety, labor or other laws, our Vendor and Supplier Code of Conduct, or our standard terms and conditions, or to provide safe factory conditions for their workers may damage our reputation and brand and harm our business.

• Risks Related to Regulation, Taxation and Litigation

• Risks Related to Our Company and Our Ownership Structure
• We may require additional capital to support business growth and this capital might not be available or may be available only by diluting existing stockholders.
• Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
• Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
• Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the U.S. as the sole and exclusive forums for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or our directors, officers, or other employees.
• Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. is a holding company with no operations of its own and, as such, it depends on its subsidiaries for cash to fund its operations and expenses, including future dividend payments, if any.
• Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
• We are required to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules, or we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for stockholders to sell our common stock.
• We expect that our stock price will fluctuate significantly, which could cause the value of investments in our common stock to decline, and investors may not be able to resell their shares at a price at or above the price for which they purchased them.
• There could be a material disruption to our business as a result of activist stockholders or others.
• Short sellers of our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of our common stock.
• Our common stock market price and trading volume could decline if securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business.
• Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly.
• We cannot guarantee that the 2024 Repurchase Program will enhance long-term stockholder value. Stock repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves.
• We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, the ability of common stockholders to achieve a return on investment will depend on appreciation, if any, in the price of our common stock.
• General Risk Factors
• Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.
• We incurred goodwill impairment charges in the past and may incur goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges again in the future, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
• There are claims made against us from time to time that can result in litigation that could distract management from our business activities and result in significant liability or damage to our brand.
