       • In reply to a question on gross margin, CEO Lauren Hobart said

                                                                                                   The company sells products
       gross margin improvements were the result of a differentiated

       merchandise assortment which the company has put in place                                   under three primary categories

       over the past years. She added that the company had long-term
                                                                                                        Hardlines
       confidence in its margin.

                                                                                                        Apparel
       • Answering a question on the initial plans for the topline in                                   Footwear
       2022, CFO Navdeep Gupta said that while it is too early to give

       an outlook, the company has seen gains throughout 2021 in key

       categories     like     apparel    and   footwear     and    it   has   also       gained

       share consistently which gives it confidence going into next year.

       • Replying to a question on EBIT margins, CFO Navdeep Gupta

       said that the digital and analytics capabilities that the company

       has built over the past few years are expected to yield benefits

       in the areas of pricing and promotion optimization as well as

       clearance      margin      management.          These,      combined         with     the

       profitability of the ecommerce business, are expected to elevate

       overall profitability going forward.

       • Responding to a question on growth investments, CEO Lauren
                                                                                                          Roche
       Hobart    said      the    company       continues     to    invest     in   its    store

                                                                                                          Johnson & Johnson

                                                                                     Stephen Kaufer - President & CEO
                                                                                                          Pfizer
       •   Replying   to   a   question    on   pandemic-related          momentum            in

       categories, CEO Lauren Hobart said that categories like kayaks,

       bikes    and    fitness     that    surged      during      the   pandemic          have

       meaningfully rebaselined versus the pre-pandemic levels. Team

       sports   have       come   back    strong    and     the   other   categories         are

       significantly higher than they were two years ago.

                                                                                                                                    7
