WE GET BIG + TALL. IT’S ALL WE DO.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2021

Dear Shareholders,

As we reflect on this past year, so full of challenge and
uncertainty, we can’t help but feel fortunate and grateful.
We are fortunate to not only have survived, but come out
stronger on the other side, and we are grateful for our
employees’ commitment, grateful for our customers’
continued business, and grateful for our shareholders
who believed in the statement that we echoed over-and-over
throughout the pandemic: “We have a plan.” Despite the
ambiguity, and uncharted waters of the pandemic, DXL acted
quickly and decisively as the COVID-19 pandemic cast shadows
on our future. We made difficult decisions under great stress,
all with the intention of preserving our solvency so we could
emerge from the pandemic as a viable retailer. We are happy to
continue to communicate that we have a plan and not only have
we survived the challenges of COVID-19, but we have emerged
stronger and more confident as a company in our ability to grow
our business and deliver total shareholder return as we lean into
our digital strategic transformation and execute.

Our vision and mission at DXL is to deliver a Big + Tall shopping
experience that Fits – fits his body, fits his style, and fits his life.
We endeavor to be the market leader by bringing depth, breadth
and a level of exclusivity in an assortment of clothing that cannot
be found anywhere else. We deliver an experience second to
none, rooted in the value we place in our consumer and the
respect we have for him. We build trusted relationships with him
creating a level of satisfaction and happiness that distills, as few
retailers have, a community and belonging driven by our culture
and the employees who interact with our guests every day.

We also continue to embrace our responsibility to promote
awareness to improve environmental, social and governance
issues that plague our world today. Our ongoing discussion
to promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace is a priority
at DXL and has been through the Normalizing the Brand program
which addresses unconscious bias, which as a program has
been in place since 2017. Furthermore, in April of 2021, we made
a commitment through the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion
coalition. Through this organization, DXL has pledged to take
greater action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives
and experiences are welcomed and respected and where
employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion.
The additional steps now taken on this journey, by joining a
coalition of nearly 2,000 other CEOs and companies who believe
that together we can effect positive change, creates meaningful
scale to accomplish greater change and we are energized by
the opportunity now ahead to address generational challenges.
Our commitment to the coalition is a natural extension of our
own internal culture and continuing to prioritize diversity and
inclusion is important to us as we continue to evolve. We also
support ethical labor standards and we continue to have a
heightened awareness and concern regarding forced labor and
ethical manufacturing through our world-class sourcing team.
We are a member of one of the world’s leading online platforms
for companies to manage and improve working conditions in
global supply chains and we are actively partnering with several
other brands and retailers to continue to proactively create a
transparent and ethical supply chain.

Despite the challenge and difficulty brought on by the COVID-19
pandemic, we experienced an acceleration in development and
innovation unlike any other time in our Company’s history. From
starting up a new work-from-home environment in a matter
of days to implementing safety and hygiene protocols in our

distribution center and our stores, we innovated and improvised
to ensure our survival. But we also stayed true to our strategic
plan and continued to reposition the brand and evolve our view
of customer engagement.

We continue to build greater leadership in the DXL brand, and
market leadership in the Big + Tall men’s apparel space through
our proprietary fit. Our superior fit provides a level of comfort
and versatility that is second to none. We continue to improve
our curated and exclusive assortment. We have the greatest
breadth of Big + Tall styles from luxury to value segments in our
stores and on our e-commerce website. We are not generalists
like some retailers who only dabble in Big + Tall. This is all we
do. We believe there is a DXL difference, and it’s him, it’s our
consumer and the centricity we have for and around him. The
DXL difference is grounded in empathy, expertise, diversity,
inclusion, and community for him and with him. This is who we
are and who we are here to serve; our Big + Tall customers.

We are also making progress on defining our total addressable
market and identifying where we can take market share. For us
it starts with mind share – how do we occupy more space in our
customer’s mind so that he thinks of DXL whenever a wardrobe
need arises? We believe the core Big + Tall market, which, from
our vantage point, starts at XXL, is worth upwards of $10.0 billion.
It could be worth as much as $20.0 billion when we include XL.
There is a meaningfully greater opportunity for us to grow market
share and we believe growth in market share is the primary
outcome that will result from our work.

We are excited and encouraged by the opportunities that await
in fiscal year 2021. The steps we took in 2020 to reduce our
promotional posture, lower our operating costs, and negotiate
lease concessions were initially intended to preserve liquidity.
As we are now on firmer financial footing, those steps taken
in 2020 are now helping to create operating leverage in 2021.
We firmly believe that 2021 will be a strong year of recovery for
DXL, and will create inflection as we continue to execute on our
digitally-driven transformational strategic plan.

Our journey through 2020 had unprecedented conditions and
obstacles that were beyond our control. This did not stop us from
pursuing our mission to help make the lives of our Big + Tall guys
a little bit better. We continue that work today and look forward to
a brighter 2021. Thank you for your interest and support in DXL.

Sincerely,

Harvey S. Kanter

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively
affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant disruption of the financial and retail markets,
including a disruption in consumer demand for men’s clothing and accessories. The pandemic had an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations in fiscal 2020. While we expect the pandemic will continue to impact fiscal 2021, we
expect a gradual improvement as vaccines are widely administered during the Spring of fiscal 2021. The Company has included
discussion under Item 1A, Risk Factors, and under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, with regards to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial results in fiscal 2020 and the continued risks that
COVID-19 may have on our financial results for fiscal 2021.

Item 1. Business

Destination XL Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is the largest specialty retailer of big & tall men’s clothing
and shoes with retail locations in the United States and Toronto, Canada. We operate under the trade names of Destination XL®,
DXL®, DXL Men’s Apparel, DXL outlets, Casual Male XL® and Casual Male XL outlets. At January 30, 2021, we operated 226
DXL retail stores, 17 DXL outlet stores, 46 Casual Male XL retail stores, 22 Casual Male XL outlet stores and a digital business,
including an e-commerce site at dxl.com and a mobile site m.destinationXL.com. In fiscal 2018, we launched a wholesale business
unit focused on product development and distribution relationships with key retailers offering co-branded men’s big & tall apparel
lines. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Destination XL
Group, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our fiscal years ended January 30, 2021, February 1, 2020 and February 2,
2019 as “fiscal 2020,” “fiscal 2019” and “fiscal 2018,” respectively.

OUR INDUSTRY

We define the big & tall men’s clothing market as starting at a waist size of 38” and greater, as well as tops sized 1XL and greater.
Growth in this segment historically has been driven by rapidly changing market demographics. We believe that we can increase our
market share by catering to the broader target market, attracting customers from various income, age and lifestyle segments and
offering the widest selection of sizes and styles that fit well. We believe opportunity continues to exist for market share growth from
the lower-size range of our market, that is, men with a 38” to 43” waist size, which are usually the size range for most men’s apparel
retailers that are not core to their mix. In addition to these lower sizes, opportunity for further growth also exists with men with a 54”
or greater waist size.

HISTORY

Our Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1976 under the name Designs, Inc. Until fiscal 1995, we operated
exclusively in Levi Strauss & Co. branded apparel mall and outlet stores. In May 2002, we acquired the Casual Male business from
Casual Male Corp. at a bankruptcy court-ordered auction. At the time of the acquisition, Casual Male was the largest specialty retailer
of men’s clothing in the big & tall market in the United States. As a result of the acquisition, on August 8, 2002, we changed our name

to “Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.” In fiscal 2004, we acquired the Rochester Clothing stores. Through fiscal 2010, we catered to
customers through our three store formats, from our value-oriented customer (Casual Male XL outlets) to our luxury-oriented
customer (Rochester Clothing stores)

In fiscal 2010, we launched a new store concept, Destination XL (“DXL”). The DXL store concept offers our customers an extensive
assortment of products, ranging from value-oriented to luxury-oriented with an increased presence of name brands, without having to
shop multiple stores. In addition to offering our customers a wide assortment, we also wanted to provide them with a unique shopping
experience. We are focused on providing outstanding customer service through our DXL stores, with larger fitting rooms and
professional, trained associates providing personal attention. With the initial success of this store format, we made a similar change to
our e-commerce business in fiscal 2011 when we launched our DestinationXL.com website (now dxl.com). In fiscal 2019, we closed
our five remaining Rochester Clothing stores.

OUR BUSINESS

We operate as an omni-channel retailer of big & tall men’s clothing and shoes. Through our multiple brands, which include both
branded apparel and private-label, we provide a premium, personalized shopping experience, whether in-store or digitally, with a
broad range of merchandise at varying price points, catering from the value-oriented customer to the luxury customer. Our objective is
to appeal to all of our customers by providing a good, better, best array of product assortments in all primary lifestyles with multiple
and convenient ways to shop.

Our DXL retail stores, e-commerce site, dxl.com, and mobile app cater to all income demographics and offer our customers
merchandise to fit a variety of lifestyles from casual to business, young to mature, in all price ranges and in all large sizes from XL
and up. In addition, a complete offering of shoes in sizes 10W to 18W is available at dxl.com. Our Casual Male XL retail stores
primarily carry moderate-priced branded and private-label casual sportswear and dresswear. We also operate Casual Male XL outlets
and DXL outlets for our value-oriented customer. Through digital marketplaces, we are able to extend our reach, by providing a select
offering of our merchandise to new customers who may not be current DXL customers. In addition to our retail channels, we also
launched a wholesale channel in fiscal 2018.

What is unique about our business is our ability to manage the number of sizes offered to our customers to ensure proper fit and
optimizing our in-stock position throughout each season. Our best-selling pant has 43 size combinations and a unique specification as
compared to an average retailer who may only have 15 different size combinations. We maintain a consolidated inventory across all
channels that enables us to manage our in-stock position of all sizes effectively, ultimately improving customer service. Moreover, our
planning and allocation methodologies, with respect to store assortment planning, help to optimize each location’s market potential
without excessive inventory levels.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

We expect that there will be a gradual recovery in demand for men’s apparel during fiscal 2021, as vaccines are more widely
administered by late Spring 2021 and the country begins to socialize again. In response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19
pandemic, we took decisive steps to pivot our business model early in fiscal 2020. Our efforts during fiscal 2020 were focused on
withstanding the decline in sales and preserving liquidity, positioning ourselves to emerge from the pandemic with significantly more
operating leverage. As a result of the steps taken in fiscal 2020, we believe we are well-positioned to recover in fiscal 2021.

In fiscal 2021, our key initiatives include the following:

(cid:129) Digital growth. In fiscal 2021, we want to build off the significant growth that we experienced in fiscal 2020. We have a

number of initiatives planned to further enhance the digital experience for our customers by leveraging new technologies to
create a frictionless experience across all of our digital platforms. Despite our expectation that our customer will return to
stores, we expect the digital shift will endure.

(cid:129) Marketing initiatives. We have executed a marketing strategy that is responsive to changes in customer shopping habits and

behaviors through CRM segmentation, unique personas and personalization of digital interaction such as one-to-one
marketing email messaging. During fiscal 2020, while our omni-channel customer continued to shop online, our in-store
customers stopped shopping amidst the pandemic. Our focus in fiscal 2021 will be to reengage with our in-store customers,
especially those higher-spending customers who have not shopped with us recently. We expect to spend our marketing
dollars on our digital programs, with less emphasis on TV and radio, as we continue to develop a more personalized one-on-
one connection with our customers.

(cid:129) Merchandising initiatives. Prior to fiscal 2020 and the pandemic, we had already started to decrease our in-store presentation
of tailored merchandise, in response to the “casualization of America.” With the pandemic and many men working from
home, we saw a continued shift toward our more casual categories. We expect this shift to continue in fiscal 2021 and our

strategy for Spring 2021 will be focused on aligning with the new work-from-home and casual wear lifestyle. Speed to
market initiatives, such as the implementation of VMI (“vendor managed inventory”) and factories holding greige fabrication
in key items have given us greater ability to react and drive business as well as create flexibility in our inventory. We will
continue to narrow our assortment, reducing the number of brands we carry and focusing instead on the development of the
assortments.

(cid:129)

Rightsizing our store portfolio. We made substantial progress during fiscal 2020 in working with our landlord community to
renegotiate lease agreements. Our project included two phases, with the first phase specifically working with landlords for
the period of time when our stores were closed due to the pandemic, which resulted in a number of rent abatements and
deferments. The second phase, which is ongoing and will continue into fiscal 2021, is working with our landlords with a
long-term perspective. Our guidance for fiscal 2021 assumes that our sales for fiscal 2021 will be 10.8% to 14.8% below
fiscal 2019 levels. As a result, we are working with our landlords to realign our occupancy costs given the expected sales.
Furthermore, we have approximately 131 stores that have leases with either a natural lease expiration or a kick-out option
within the next two years, which provides us with flexibility in these ongoing negotiations. Our goal is to right-size our store
portfolio, through lease negotiations or lease-term expirations, to optimize store profitability and omni-channel distribution.
(cid:129) Managing liquidity and debt. We took significant steps in fiscal 2020 to preserve our liquidity during the pandemic. As we
head into fiscal 2021, we are continuing to monitor and enhance our liquidity and will use free cash flow to retire debt. We
have reduced our cost structure, which we intend to maintain as revenues increase. We are not planning to open any new
stores or rebrand any of our existing Casual Male XL stores in fiscal 2021, and are instead limiting our capital expenditures
to only those necessary to meet our current business objectives. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2020, we raised $5 million,
before offering costs, in connection with the sale of 11.1 million shares of our common stock, as part of a registered direct
offering. Also in March 2021, we entered into a new $17.5 million FILO (“first-in, last-out”) loan, the proceeds of which
were used to pay-off our existing $15.0 million FILO. Our advance rates under the existing FILO were set to amortize down
to 5.0% in May 2021. Our new FILO has an advance rate of 15.0% and will provide us with additional borrowing capacity of
$5.0 to $10.0 million in fiscal 2021. Both the raised capital and the new term loan provide additional flexibility to liquidity.

MERCHANDISE

We offer our customers a broad assortment of apparel that is appropriate to our diverse customer base. Regardless of our customers’
age, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle preference, we are able to assemble a wardrobe to fit their apparel needs. We offer such
assortments in both private-label product and a wide array of brand name labels. With over 5,000 styles available, we carry tops in
sizes up to 8XL and 8XLT, bottoms with waist sizes 38” to 70”, and shoes in sizes 10W to 18W. Big and tall is all we do. We do not
just scale up product from a regular fit like most other retailers; our fit is built from unique specifications for every size and style.

Our stores are merchandised to showcase entire outfits by lifestyle, including traditional, active, modern and denim. This format
allows us to merchandise key items and seasonal goods in prominent displays and makes coordinating outfits easier for the customer
while encouraging multi-item purchases. This lifestyle layout also allows us to manage store space and product assortment effectively
in each market to target local demographics. The key item strategy is also fully integrated by lifestyle, allowing us to focus on
merchandise presentation and offer our customers a compelling value proposition.

Merchandise assortments in our DXL stores are organized not only by lifestyle, but within each lifestyle, the assortments are shown in
a “good,” “better” and “best” visual presentation. With the “best” merchandise assortments featured most prominently in the DXL
store, our customers are able to visualize current fashion trends and select their wardrobes within their desired price points in a
convenient manner. Our website and select DXL stores also offer certain “luxury” brands.

We carry over 100 well-known national brands (“branded apparel”) as well as a number of our own private-label lines within our
“good,” “better” and “best” price points. The penetration of branded apparel in a specific DXL stores can range from 39% to 80%,
depending on several factors, but on average, approximately half of the assortment is branded apparel.

Higher-End Fashion Apparel -“Best” Merchandise

Within this higher-end price range, we carry a broad selection of quality apparel from well-known branded manufacturers, such as,
Brooks Brothers®, The North Face®, Psycho Bunny®, Polo Ralph Lauren®, Jack Victor®, Lucky, Michael Kors®, JOE’S® Jeans,
Robert Graham®, 7 for all Mankind®, Tallia® and Robert Barakett ®.

Moderate-Priced Apparel -“Better” Merchandise

We offer our customer an extensive selection of quality sportswear and dress clothing at moderate prices carrying well-known brands
such as: O’Neill®, Cutter & Buck®, Levis®, Nautica® and Nautica Jeans®, Adidas® Golf, Columbia, Berne®, Carhartt®, Callaway®,
Jockey®, Lacoste®, Majestic, Tommy Bahama® and vineyard vines®.

Value-Priced Apparel -“Good” Merchandise

For our value-oriented customers, we carry Cubavera, Dockers, Lee, Wrangler and Reebok. In addition, we carry several value-priced
private label lines:

(cid:3) Harbor Bay® was our first proprietary brand and it is a traditional line that continues to represent a significant portion of our

business, specifically in terms of our core basic merchandise.

(cid:3) Gold Series™ is our core performance offering of tailored-related separates, blazers, dress slacks, dress shirts and neckwear that

blends comfort features such as stretch, stain resistance and wrinkle-free fabrics with basic wardrobe essentials.

(cid:3) Synrgy™ targets the customer looking for a contemporary/modern look.

(cid:3) Oak Hill® is a premier line catering to those customers looking for slightly more style and quality than our Harbor Bay line but

still in a traditional lifestyle.

(cid:3) True Nation® is a denim-inspired line consisting of vintage-screen t-shirts and wovens and is geared towards our younger

customers.

Shoes

Our DXL website offers a full assortment of footwear, with a broad selection from casual to formal, in varying price points. We
currently have a selection of more than 600 styles of shoes, ranging in sizes from 10W to 18W, including designer brands such as Cole
Haan®, Allen Edmonds®, Timberland®, Calvin Klein® and Lacoste®.

STORE CHANNEL

DXL Men’s Apparel Stores

At January 30, 2021, we operated 226 DXL retail stores. Our DXL store concept brings all of our brands together in one format.
Within this format, we cater to our diverse customer base, with merchandise representing all price points, from our higher-end brands
to value-oriented brands, and all lifestyles, from business to denim. The size of our DXL stores averages 7,600 square feet, but since
fiscal 2016 we have opened smaller (5,000-6,500 square feet) DXL stores. Because of the smaller size of these stores, they carry a
smaller product offering than our other DXL stores but are representative of the “good, better, best” merchandise variety. Our DXL
stores are located on real estate that is highly visible, often adjacent to high-performing regional malls or other high-traffic shopping
areas.

Our DXL stores offer up to three times the product offering of a Casual Male XL store. Depending on the customers in each respective
market, we can adjust the appropriate mix of merchandise, with varying selections from each of our price points, to cater to each
demographic market.

Over the past few years, we have rebranded select Casual Male XL retail and outlet stores to the DXL retail and outlet store concept.
In many markets, rebranding a Casual Male XL store to a DXL store provides a viable alternative to the more costly endeavor of
relocating a Casual Male XL store to new DXL real estate. In addition, the converted stores benefit from DXL advertising. While our
intention is to rebrand more of the remaining Casual Male XL retail and outlet stores to DXL, given the COVID-19 pandemic we did
not rebrand any stores in fiscal 2020 and have no plans to do so in fiscal 2021.

Casual Male XL Retail Stores

At January 30, 2021, we operated 46 Casual Male XL full-price retail stores, located primarily in strip centers or stand-alone locations.
The majority of the merchandise carried in our Casual Male XL stores is moderate-priced basic or fashion-neutral items, such as jeans,
casual slacks, t-shirts, polo shirts, dress shirts and suit separates. These stores also carry a full complement of our “better” private label
collections. The average Casual Male XL retail store is approximately 3,300 square feet.

DXL Outlet /Casual Male XL Outlet Stores

At January 30, 2021, we operated 17 DXL outlet stores and 22 Casual Male XL outlet stores designed to offer a wide range of casual
clothing for the big & tall customer at prices that are generally 20-25% lower than our moderate-priced merchandise. Much of the

merchandise in our outlet stores is offered at discounted prices to cater to the value-oriented customer. In addition to private-label and
branded merchandise at our “good” price tier, our outlets also carry clearance product obtained from DXL and Casual Male XL stores,
offering the outlet customer the ability to purchase branded and fashion product for a reduced price.

The average DXL outlet is approximately 4,800 square feet and the average Casual Male XL outlet store is approximately 3,000
square feet.

DIRECT CHANNEL

Our direct business is a critical channel for growing sales and market share through new customer acquisition. Our direct business
grew 14.7% in fiscal 2020 and represented approximately 40.4% of our total retail sales, as compared to 23.1% of our retail segment
sales in fiscal 2019. This accelerated growth in our direct business in fiscal 2020 was principally driven by our DXL.com website and
app, due to our customers shifting to online shopping during the pandemic.

We define our direct business as sales that originate online, whether through our website, our app, those initiated online at the store
level, our Guest Engagement Center, or through a third-party marketplace. We want to serve our customers wherever and how they
want to shop, whether in-person at a store, over the telephone, or online via a computer, smartphone or tablet.

We have the ability to showcase all of our store inventories online, resulting in additional transactions that are initiated online, but are
ultimately completed in store. In addition, our stores are able to fulfill an order for an item that is out-of-stock in our warehouse. This
capability has not only resulted in incremental sales, but it has also helped us reduce clearance merchandise at the store level and
manage margins.

DXL Website and App

Our DXL website and app were instrumental to our ability to service our customers during fiscal 2020. In March 2020, when we
temporarily closed all of our store locations, our warehouse remained open and we were able to continue making sales through our
DXL website. Even after our stores began to reopen, because of the ongoing concerns of the pandemic, consumers continued to shift
to online shopping helping drive higher new customer acquisition for the website business. The growth of our website had been a key
initiative for us prior to the pandemic and with the recent upgrades and enhancements that we made in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, our
DXL website was prepared to handle this accelerated growth in fiscal 2020. Sales from our BOPIS (buy online, pickup in store) and
BOPAC (buy online, pickup at curb) programs substantially increased over the prior year, especially during the fourth quarter when
the programs were up over 400% to last year.

Digital Sales at Store Level

In support of our omni-channel approach, our store associates use our website to help fulfill our in-store customers’ clothing needs. If
a wider selection of a lifestyle, color or size of an item is not available in our store, then our store associates can order the item for our
customer online through our direct channel and have it shipped to the store or directly to the customer. Our customers also have the
ability to shop-by-store and pick-up in store on the same day. As expected, because of the pandemic and the decrease of in-person
visits to our stores in fiscal 2020, we saw a significant decrease in online sales that originated at the store-level.

Digital Marketplaces

We continue to broaden our reach through digital, third-party marketplaces, which is another growth initiative for our direct business.
A large portion of our assortment is available on Amazon, with Amazon Prime shipping. Digital marketplaces provide us an
opportunity to grow our customer base and introduce new customers to our brand.

WHOLESALE CHANNEL

Our wholesale business focuses on the product development, manufacturing and distribution of big and tall product. This strategic
growth initiative allows us to leverage our existing infrastructure, including DXL’s expertise in technical design and global sourcing.
We believe the wholesale channel is a strong complement to our retail channel allowing us to broaden our presence in the marketplace
and provides us an opportunity to access new customers who do not currently shop at DXL.

MERCHANDISE PLANNING AND ALLOCATION

Our merchandise planning and allocation function is critical to the effective management of our inventory, store assortments, product
sizes and overall gross margin profitability. The merchandise planning and allocation team has an array of planning and replenishment
tools available to assist in maintaining an appropriate level of inventory, in-stock positions at the stores and for the direct channel, and

pre-season planning for product assortments for each store and the direct channel. Additionally, in-season reporting identifies
opportunities and challenges in inventory performance. Over the past several years, we have made, and we will continue to make,
investments in implementing best practice tools and processes for our merchandise planning and allocation.

Our core merchandise makes up approximately 38.5% of our merchandise assortment. Our planning and allocation team estimates
quantity and demand several months in advance to optimize gross margin and minimize end-of-season merchandise for all seasonal
merchandise. We develop customized assortment strategies by store that accentuate lifestyle preferences for each particular store.

Our merchandising data warehouse provides the merchandising team with standardized reporting for monitoring assortment
performance by product category and by store, identifying in-stock positions by size and generally monitoring overall inventory levels
relative to selling. At season end, we analyze the overall performance of product categories, overall assortments and specific styles by
store to focus on the opportunities and challenges for the next season’s planning cycle.

Utilizing a set of specific universal reporting tools, the merchandise planning and allocation team is able to fulfill their daily, weekly
and monthly roles and responsibilities. These reporting tools provide focused and actionable views of the business to optimize the
overall assortment by category and by store. We are confident that our inventory performance will be optimized by having all
members of the merchandise planning and allocation team follow a standardized set of processes with the use of standardized
reporting tools.

STORE OPERATIONS

We believe that our store associates are the key to creating the highest quality experience for our customers. The culture in our stores
is to be guest centric in an effort to engage and build a relationship with our guests. Our overall goal is to assist our associates in
becoming less task-oriented and more attentive to the customers’ apparel needs. By establishing this relationship, associates are able
to expand our customers’ wardrobe, not only making the customer look good, but also helping them feel confident in their apparel
choices. Our associates are trained to be wardrobe experts, capable of accommodating our customers’ style and fit needs with ready-
to-wear clothing. Our associates are well versed in not only the product selection carried in their specific store, but also the product
selection carried online. With a point-of-sale system that can access items online for the customer who is physically in the store, our
associates are able to fulfill all of their customers’ needs.

Our multi-unit, field management team receives extensive training on recruiting associates who are the correct fit for our stores. Our
new DXL store management team hires are trained extensively through senior peer trainers throughout the country. The culture has
been created over the last ten years to promote when possible from our internal associates, starting at the Assistant Store Manager
level up to, and including, members of our Regional Sales Management Team. Our Regional Vice Presidents give us touch-points in
the field in addition to the Regional Sales Managers and the store management to ensure consistency in executing our standards and
all programs and processes we deem important to our success.

Each new member of the store management team spends time in a DXL store, working with training managers and their Regional
Sales manager to solidify his or her training before being released to the respective “home” store. We are able to gauge the
effectiveness of our training through measuring sales productivity at each level of the field organization, including individual sales
associates. We believe our training system, together with monitoring sales metrics to help identify opportunities for further training,
will improve sales productivity and strengthen our customer’s brand loyalty.

Each store is staffed with a store manager, assistant manager and key holders. The store manager is responsible for achieving certain
sales and operational targets. Our stores have an incentive-based commission plan for managers and selling staff to encourage
associates to focus on our customer’s wardrobing needs and sales productivity. Our field organization strives to promote from within
a culture that has been building for ten years, with approximately 75% of the field organization’s multi-unit managers having managed
one of our retail stores.

Our field organization is overseen by our Senior Vice President of Store Sales and Operations, Regional Vice Presidents, Regional
Sales Managers, and a Store Operations Team, who provide management development and guidance to individual store managers.
Each Regional Sales Manager is responsible for hiring and developing store managers at the stores assigned to that Regional Sales
Manager’s market, and for the overall operations and profitability of those stores.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our store operations during fiscal 2020. For the safety of our associates and
customers, all of our stores were closed on March 17, 2020 with stores gradually reopening beginning at the end of April 2020. By
the end of June 2020, all stores had reopened but with significantly reduced operating hours, which continued through the end of fiscal
2020. During fiscal 2020, we implemented many safety protocols in our stores so that our customers, who choose to shop in-person,
feel safe. The majority of our stores offer the option for no-contact, curbside pickup, through our BOPAC and BOPIS programs. For

the safety of our field organization, we also equipped the stores with iPads to enable our Regional Sales Managers and members of our
senior leadership team the ability to engage with stores on a more frequent basis without the risk of travel.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

We believe that our marketing initiatives are key to driving our sales growth by increasing traffic to our stores, website and app. We
are continuing to shift our marketing strategy away from our broad-based shotgun advertising to a more targeted, personalized, data-
driven model where we can segment and ultimately engage differently with each of our customers based on their shopping behaviors
across all our buying channels. While our focus remains digitally driven, given the impact of the pandemic on our stores, our priority
heading into fiscal 2021 is driving store traffic and re-engaging with our top, primarily in-store, customers. While our omni-channel
shoppers shopped online during fiscal 2020, a segment of our top customers tend to shop primarily in-store who, given the pandemic
and health concerns, did not shop to the levels they have historically. We plan to target and personalize experiences for these top
customers with addressable media to re-engage and bring them back.

As we head into fiscal 2021, we plan to increase our digital and CRM marketing investments, with a lesser investment in
television/radio. We continue to take an increasingly stringent analytical perspective to our marketing program, focusing on
understanding incremental outcomes in addition to the “return on ad spend” throughout all of our programs. This data-driven
philosophy extends across all of our marketing initiatives as we look at new ways to engage our customers. Our on-going work on
enhancing our customer segmentation will ultimately drive our long-term marketing strategy, enabling us to create targeted and
personalized content and messaging to our various customer segments.

Our marketing program includes email, direct mail, loyalty program, direct marketing, digital marketing, social media, television, and
radio, among others. Our marketing costs in fiscal 2021 will be heavily focused on our direct marketing initiatives, such as digital
advertising, direct mail and loyalty incentives.

GLOBAL SOURCING

We have built a strong internal team with more than 40 years of combined experience that is responsible for managing an international
network of vendors and suppliers across the globe. We manufacture a significant percentage of our private-label merchandise
primarily in Southeast Asian countries consisting of Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and India. We continue to reduce dependency
on China, inclusive of our raw materials and trims. We are a member of Sedex Global, a leading ethical trade service provider, to
increase our social, environmental and ethical sustainability and participate in their Ethical Trade Audit platform. Through
collaboration with our third-party inspection vendor, we have developed a “5-Pillar Audit” to include traceability of both raw
materials and the equipment used to produce finished goods. We are responsive to the US Customs Border Protection (“CBP”)
Withhold Release Order on Products Made in Xinjiang region of China on January 13, 2021. We have also developed a Compliance
Certificate of Traceability. This will be included with all shipments and presented to the CBP with the goods upon arrival to US
Customs. We have diversified our global network outside of China and have moved certain programs into additional countries with
duty-free opportunities such as Jordan, Guatemala and Mexico. We have strong-established relationships with many of the leading
factories and mills across the globe. Our sourcing network consists of over 28 factories in eight countries who are experts in big & tall
sizing and production. In fiscal 2020, approximately 50% of all our product needs were sourced directly.

Our global sourcing strategy is a balanced approach, which considers quality, cost and lead-time, depending on the requirements of the
program. We believe our current sourcing structure meets our operating requirements and provide capacity for growth. The growth
and effectiveness of our global direct sourcing program is a key component to the strength of merchandise margins.

In an effort to minimize foreign currency risk, all payments to our direct sourced vendors and buying agents are made in U.S. dollars
with payment on account.

DISTRIBUTION

All of our retail distribution operations are centralized at our headquarters located in Canton, Massachusetts. We believe that having a
centralized distribution facility maximizes the selling space and in-stock position of our stores and reduces the necessary levels of
back-room stock. In addition, the distribution center provides order fulfillment services for our e-commerce business. In-bound calls
for our e-commerce business are received at our Canton facility and are primarily fulfilled by our distribution center. If an order
cannot be fulfilled by our distribution center, the order is completed at the store level. For our wholesale business, we currently utilize
two coastal third-party cross-dock facilities.

Our supply chain technology provides visibility for imports and domestic deliveries giving our buyers accurate shipping information
and allowing the distribution center to plan staffing for arriving freight, resulting in reduced costs and improved receipt efficiency.

In fiscal 2019, we upgraded and enhanced our warehousing application for our distribution center systems, which included a new
labor management system. Our warehousing application enables us to streamline our distribution processes, enhance our in-transit
times, and reduce our distribution costs. We will continually work to make improvements and upgrades to our software.

Since 2003, we have utilized United Parcel Services (“UPS”) for all of our store shipments as well as our domestic customer
deliveries. By utilizing UPS, we are able to track all deliveries from the warehouse to our individual stores, including the status of in-
transit shipments. In addition, we are able to provide our direct customers with Authorized Return Service and Web labels, making
returns more convenient for them. In October 2019, we renewed our contract with UPS through October 2022.

In order to service our International customers, we have contracted with a global e-commerce company for payment and shipment
services. Through this service, international customers view and pay for products in their local currency. Our vendor then ships
directly to our customer, which we believe helps avoid potential fraud and currency exchange rate risks.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The infrastructure of our management information systems is a priority to us. We believe that the investments we have made in this
regard have improved our overall efficiency and improved our access to information enabling timely, data-driven decisions.

Our management information systems consist of a full range of retail merchandising and financial systems, which include
merchandise planning and reporting, distribution center processing, inventory allocation, sales reporting, and financial processing and
reporting. We believe that our current infrastructure provides us the ability and capacity to process transactions more efficiently and
provides our management team with comprehensive tools with which to manage our business.

Using a retail business intelligence solution, we are able to integrate data from several sources and provide enterprise-wide analytics
reporting. Over the past few years, we have continued to develop a custom Assortment Suite application that leverages business
intelligence and predictive analytics to provide high impact insights into core merchandising tasks. In an effort to improve our
inventory management, we have created a standardized set of “best practices” for both our merchandise planning and allocation
groups.

Our direct and retail channels maintain a shared inventory system and we operate a single-system platform for our DXL and Casual
Male XL stores to deliver improved efficiencies.

During fiscal 2020, we upgraded our order management system enabling omni-channel fulfillment, customer engagement and
precision tools for inventory visibility and availability across the Company. We also upgraded our CRM environment providing
centralized customer data and an integrated suite of advanced tools that create and maintain personalized customer relationships.

During fiscal 2021, we plan to upgrade our Assortment Suite application to leverage business intelligence and predictive analytics to
provide high impact insights into core merchandising tasks.

We continually work to improve our web environment and the security of our systems. Our mobile and tablet optimized sites
capitalize on the growing use of mobile devices to look up store information, review product offerings, and complete purchases. In
addition, our current website is fully integrated with a global e-commerce company to accommodate international customers by
providing multi-currency pricing, payment processing, and international shipping.

COMPETITION

Our business faces competition from a variety of sources, including department stores, mass merchandisers, other specialty stores and
discount and off-price retailers that sell big & tall men’s clothing. While we have successfully competed on the basis of merchandise
selection, comfort and fit, customer service and desirable store locations, there can be no assurances that other retailers, including e-
commerce retailers, will not adopt purchasing and marketing concepts similar to ours. Discount retailers with significant buying
power, such as Wal-Mart and J.C. Penney, represent a source of competition for us. The direct business has many competitors,
including the King Size catalog and website as well as online marketplaces, such as Amazon.

The United States big & tall men’s clothing market is highly competitive with many national and regional department stores, specialty
apparel retailers, single market operators and discount stores offering a broad range of apparel products similar to ours, the similarity
being that the clothes they sell are intended for big and tall men. Besides retail competitors, we consider any casual apparel
manufacturer operating in outlet malls throughout the United States to be a competitor in the casual apparel market. We believe that
we are the only national operator of men’s apparel stores focused exclusively on the men’s big & tall market.

SEASONALITY

Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations as it relates to our operating income,
net income, and free cash flow. Traditionally, a significant portion of our operating income, net income, and free cash flow is
generated in the fourth quarter, because of the holiday season. Our inventory is typically at peak levels by the end of the third quarter,
which represents a significant use of cash, which is then relieved in the fourth quarter as we sell-down our inventory through the
holiday shopping season.

TRADEMARKS/TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENTS

We own several service marks and trademarks relating to our businesses, including, among others, “Destination XL®”, “DXL®”,
“DXL Mens Apparel®”, “Big on Being Better®”, “Casual Male®”, “Casual Male XL®”, “Harbor Bay®”, “Oak Hill®”, “Continuous
Comfort®”, “Synrgy™”, “Society of One®” and “True Nation®”. We also hold a U.S. patent for an extendable collar system, which is
marketed as “Neck-Relaxer®” and a U.S. copyright for a no-iron hang tag.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Our associates are our greatest asset and we are committed to providing them a safe and healthy work environment. We are committed
to inclusivity, acceptance, and equality. Since 2017, we have had a diversity and inclusion initiative called “Normalizing the Brand.”
The program brings awareness to unconscious bias and focuses on ensuring the composition of our organization looks and feels like
the world we live in and serve. In 2020, we launched a Normalizing the Brand Committee with a primary focus on encouraging
managers and associates to have open and honest conversations regarding diversity and inclusion. We have policies and training in
place with respect to anti-discrimination and anti-harassment, among others, and provide our associates with access to an anonymous
hot-line for reporting any concerns.

Each associate is required to sign a set of policies that include, among other policies, the code of ethics, anti-harassment and
procedures for raising a complaint. Our policies also contain protection of human rights and prohibit, among other things, the use of
child labor or forced, bonded or indentured labor.

An Advisory Council, personally headed up by the CEO, was created in 2020 to give cross-functional associates an opportunity to
provide input on issues affecting the company’s workforce and the employer-associate relationship. The purpose of the Council is to
facilitate networking, exchange ideas, and suggest ways to enhance staff satisfaction and work effectiveness.

Perhaps most importantly, we promote professional and career development and mentorship programs. In 2014, our Associate
Engagement & Development Committee implemented the DXLG Mentor Program, which pairs up to 20 mentees with mentors for
one-year periods. In April 2016, the DXL Women’s Leadership Group was formed with a mission of “Women supporting, educating
and empowering each other @ DXLG”. It started as a pilot program and quickly expanded to now include over 40 female leaders,
both people and process managers, in the corporate office and field. In addition, for the past three years, we have presented
Leadercast, a platform for leadership development content (held annually in May) and Leadercast Women (held annually in October)
as a host site at our corporate headquarters.

Our benefits are designed to help employees and their families stay healthy and help them balance their work and personal lives.
These benefits include health and wellness, paid time off, employee assistance, competitive pay, career growth opportunities, paid
volunteer time, product discounts, and a culture of recognition. The challenges created by the global pandemic brought mental health
awareness to the forefront. We began a pilot program with CALM, an app that provides our home office associates an opportunity to
incorporate meditation and other mindfulness activities into their daily routines.

As of January 30, 2021, we had 1,316 employees. We hire additional temporary employees during the peak Fall and Holiday seasons.
None of our employees is represented by any collective bargaining agreement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors are the important factors of which we are aware that could cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. We operate in a continually
changing business environment and new risk factors emerge from time to time. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could
have material adverse effects on our future results, performance or achievements. We cannot assure you that our projected results or
events will be achieved or will occur.

Risks Related to Our Company and Our Industry

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and, based on the current status and uncertainty, will likely continue to
have an adverse effect on our business, financial results, liquidity, supply chain and workforce until a significant portion of the
U.S. population has been vaccinated.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) a
global pandemic. Federal, state and local agencies have mandated various restrictions including travel restrictions, restrictions on
public gatherings, state of emergencies, stay-at-home orders and closure of all non-essential businesses, among others.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will likely continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, financial results and liquidity
until a significant portion of the U.S. population has been vaccinated and our customers begin to socialize outside the home. All of
our stores were closed temporarily on March 17, 2020 and remained closed through the end of April 2020, at which point we began to
open our stores on a gradual basis through June 30, 2020. During fiscal 2020, we focused on mitigating the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic and preserving our liquidity. These efforts included, among other things, (i) the furloughing of substantially all of our
associates while our stores remained closed, (ii) temporarily reducing, on a tiered basis, the salaries of all members of management
through August 2, 2020, (iii) suspending merit increases, (iv) implementing a restructuring program in the third quarter to reduce
SG&A costs by terminating services agreements, eliminating certain professional services and reduced marketing costs, (v)
eliminating approximately 101 corporate positions and a total of 1,078 store associates since March 2020, (vi) suspending
compensation for non-employee directors for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and reducing the size of the board from nine to six
directors, (vii) eliminating capital expenditures and operating expenses, where possible, (viii) negotiating with vendors and landlords
for extended and revised payment terms, (ix) cancelling approximately $148.0 million of on-order merchandise, at retail, (x) drawing
$30.0 million under our credit facility and amending that facility to increase our borrowing base availability by delaying the step-down
of our advance rates and amending the agreement to permit the Company the ability to enter into an aggregate of up to $15.0 million
in promissory notes with merchandise vendors, and (xi) pursuing all opportunities that may be available to us under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, ("CARES Act").

These actions may not be successful in mitigating the effects of this pandemic, which remains highly uncertain and difficult to predict,
especially given the existence of new variants, and the actions that we take may negatively impact or delay our strategic initiatives.
For example, even though our stores are open, we cannot be assured that (i) consumer demand and, therefore, sales will return to
levels experienced prior to the pandemic, (ii) if sales do not return to levels prior to the pandemic, sales will be at levels sufficient to
support the ongoing business, (iii) new practices or protocols could impact our business and may continue and/or increase, for
example, occupancy limitations, (iv) our stores can remain open if there is a resurgence of the virus and therefore need to close again,
or (v) our associates will be willing to staff our stores, as a result of health concerns. Furthermore;
(cid:129) we may not be able to effectively manage our operating costs on a lower sales base;
(cid:129) we may not be able to effectively manage the availability under our Credit Facility;
(cid:129) we may not be able to maintain or obtain favorable credit terms with our third-party vendors, making it harder to manage

liquidity and receive inventory on a timely schedule;

(cid:129) we may not be able to successfully renegotiate certain lease agreements commensurate with expected sales levels;
(cid:129) we cannot be assured that inventory costs will not increase or that inventory will be readily accessible from our vendors;

and

(cid:129) we cannot be assured that we will not have further impairments of our long-lived assets.

In addition to the specific risks to our business noted above, we will also be subject to the long-term effects the COVID-19 pandemic
may have on the U.S. economy as a whole. The U.S. experienced unprecedented unemployment and an economic recession during
fiscal 2020 that has impacted consumer discretionary spending, and therefore consumer demand for our products. The magnitude of
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be determined by the length of time that the pandemic continues, and while government
authorities’ measures relating to the pandemic may be relaxed as the pandemic abates, these measures may be reinstated as the
pandemic continues to evolve.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we may continue to experience material adverse impacts to our business as a result of
an economic recession that has occurred or may occur in the future due to a continued erosion in consumer sentiment or the effect of

unemployment on our customer base. Furthermore, our customers may have or will continue to have a decrease in in discretionary
consumer spending which would have an adverse impact on our store traffic and sales.

Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will depend on the
availability of adequate capital.

The operation of our business, the rate of our expansion and our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions,
depend on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends on cash flow generated by our business and, if necessary, the
availability of equity or debt capital. We will also need sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations under our existing debt
agreements.

The amount that we are able to borrow and have outstanding under our credit facility at any given time is determined using an
availability formula based on eligible assets. As a result, our ability to borrow is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, such as
advance rates and the amount and quality of inventory, which could reduce the funds available to us under our credit facility. In
addition, because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, inventory levels have been reduced to align with
expected decreased sales. This directly impacts our borrowing base and there can be no assurance that we can effectively manage the
balance of maintaining inventory and sufficient availability, especially during peak selling periods.

We cannot assure you that our cash flow from operations or cash available under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our
needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, we may have to obtain additional financing. If
we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly
restrict our operations. We cannot ensure that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all.

We may not be successful in executing our strategy and growing our market share.

For us to be successful in the future and maintain growth, we must be able to continue increasing our share of the big & tall men’s
apparel market. Our growth is dependent on our ability to continue to build upon our DXL brand, maintain our existing customers and
continue to attract new customers. Our failure to execute our strategy successfully could prevent us from growing our market share,
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, including if we were unable
to:

(cid:3) grow our DXL e-commerce business;

(cid:3) develop an effective modern marketing program to build store and digital awareness as well as increase store and online

traffic, attract customers across all channels, and grow sales;

(cid:3) predict and respond to fashion trends, while offering our customers a broad selection of merchandise in an extended selection

of sizes;

(cid:3) grow our existing customer base;

(cid:3) attract and retain new customers across all channels;

(cid:3) hire qualified store management and store associates;

(cid:3) continue to grow and then sustain the number of transactions, units-per-transaction and share of wallet; and

(cid:3) operate at appropriate operating margins.

Our marketing programs and efforts to drive traffic and convert that traffic into an increased loyal customer base are critical to
achieving market share growth within the big & tall men’s apparel market and may not be successful.

Our ability to increase our share of the big & tall men’s apparel market is largely dependent on effectively marketing our merchandise
to all of our target customers in several diverse market segments so that they will become loyal shoppers who spend a greater portion
of their wallets on our product offerings. In order to grow our market share, we depend on the success of our marketing and
advertising in a variety of ways, including television and radio advertising, advertising events, loyalty programs, catalogs, and digital
marketing, including social media, e-commerce and customer prospecting. Our business is directly impacted by the success of these
efforts and those of our vendors. Future marketing efforts by us, our vendors or our other licensors, may be costly and, if not
successful, may negatively affect our ability to meet our sales goals and gain market share.

Our direct business is a significant component of our growth strategy, and the failure to develop our e-commerce and internet
infrastructure could disrupt our business and negatively impact our sales.

We continue to have increasing levels of sales made through online shopping and via mobile devices. We have made significant
investments in capital spending and labor to develop these channels and invested in digital media to attract new customers. Growth of
our overall sales is dependent on customers’ continuing to expand their online purchases in addition to in-store purchases. During
fiscal 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw significant growth in our DXL.com business with revenues increasing 38.6%
from fiscal 2019. While it is our objective to continue to grow this business, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue
or be sustainable.

Our success in growing our direct business will depend in part upon our development of an increasingly sophisticated e-commerce
experience and infrastructure. Increasing customer sophistication requires that we provide additional website features and
functionality in order to be competitive in the marketplace and maintain market share. We continually update our website features, but
we cannot predict future trends and required functionality or our adoption rate for customer preferences. In addition, we are
vulnerable to additional risks and uncertainties associated with e-commerce sales, including security breaches, cyber-attacks,
consumer privacy concerns, changes in state tax regimes and government regulation of internet activities. Our failure to respond to
these risks and uncertainties successfully could reduce our direct sales, increase our costs and diminish our growth prospects, which
could negatively affect our operating results.

If we are unable to develop and implement our omni-channel initiatives successfully, our market share and financial results could
be adversely affected.

Our customer’s shopping behavior continues to evolve across multiple channels and we are working to meet his needs. This includes
the expansion of our BOPIS (buy online pick up in stores) and BOPAC (buy online pick up curbside) during fiscal 2020 to help our
customers continue to shop during the pandemic. While we consider ourselves an omni-channel retailer, we continue to make
ongoing investments in our information technology systems to support evolving omni-channel capabilities.

Omni-channel retailing is rapidly evolving and our success depends on our ability to anticipate and implement innovations in sales and
marketing technology and logistics in order to appeal to existing and potential customers who increasingly rely on multiple channels
to meet their shopping needs. In addition, our competitors are also investing in omni-channel initiatives, some of which may be more
successful than our initiatives.

If the investment in our omni-channel initiatives is not successful, our systems are unable to support such initiatives, or if our
competitors are more successful, our financial results and our market penetration may be adversely affected.

The growth of our wholesale segment may not be successful.

As part of our strategic growth plan, we launched a wholesale segment in fiscal 2018 focused on product development and distribution
relationships with key retailers. We are working on developing and distributing co-branded big & tall men’s apparel lines. The success
of this strategic initiative depends on a number of factors, including our ability to grow our wholesale customer base, develop a cost-
effective infrastructure, and sustain adequate liquidity to meet the longer lead times associated with the wholesale business. In
addition, because our wholesale customers order merchandise on a “purchase order” basis, as our wholesale business grows, any
decision by any customer to decrease their order volume or cease purchasing from us could adversely affect our wholesale revenues
and profitability.

The loss of, or disruption in, our centralized distribution center could negatively impact our business and operations.

The majority of our merchandise for our stores and e-commerce operations is received into our centralized distribution center in
Canton, Massachusetts, where it is then processed, sorted and shipped to our stores or directly to our customers. We depend in large
part on the orderly operation of this receiving and distribution process, which depends, in turn, on adherence to shipping schedules and
effective management of the distribution center. Although we believe that our receiving and distribution process is efficient and well-
positioned to support our strategic plans, events beyond our control, such as disruptions in operations due to fire or other catastrophic
events, employee matters or shipping problems, or disruptions in our distribution center, including potential closure if an employee is
diagnosed with COVID-19 or there is a governmentally-imposed quarantine, could result in delays in the delivery of merchandise to
our stores or directly to our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in labor shortages, which may affect our ability to
process and ship inventory in a timely manner.

With all of our management information systems centralized in our corporate headquarters, any disruption or destruction of our
system infrastructure could materially affect our business. This type of disaster is mitigated by our offsite storage and disaster
recovery plans, but we would still incur business interruption that may impact our business a significant period of time.

Although we maintain business interruption and property insurance, we cannot be sure that our insurance will be sufficient, or that
insurance proceeds will be timely paid to us, in the event our distribution center is shut down for any reason or if we incur higher costs
and longer lead times in connection with a disruption from our distribution center.

Our business may be adversely affected due to disruptions in the global supply chain.

Disruptions in the global supply chain due to COVID-19 outbreaks in foreign ports and shortages of vessels and shipping containers
may impact our ability to import inventory in a timely manner. The impact of COVID-19 on domestic ports has also created a similar
disruption in the supply chain and may cause delays in the receipt and shipment of inventory. Furthermore, in the event that
commercial transportation is curtailed or substantially delayed, we may not be able to maintain adequate inventory levels of important
merchandise on a consistent basis, which would negatively impact our sales and potentially erode the confidence of our customer
base, leading to further loss of sales and an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully manage our store portfolio.

We lease all of our store locations. Renewing and renegotiating these leases at acceptable lease terms is critical to the profitability of
our stores. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we were able to negotiate short-term rent relief agreements, primarily through rent
abatements and rent deferments, with the majority of our landlords due to the temporary store closures in response to the
pandemic. Given the uncertainty as to the continued impact of the pandemic on store sales as well as our customers’ shift to online
shopping, we are continuing to engage with our landlords to restructure certain lease arrangements. If store sales do not return to
levels prior to the pandemic and we are unable to renegotiate lease agreements, certain stores may not be profitable and we may not be
able to renew existing agreements. At January 30, 2021, we have 131 stores that have either a natural lease expiration or a kick-out
option within the next two years. This provides us an opportunity to right-size our store portfolio over the next few years, through
lease renegotiations or lease-term expirations, to ensure that we are optimizing our store profitability and omni-channel distribution.

Our business is highly competitive, and competitive factors may reduce our revenues and profit margins.

The United States big & tall men’s apparel market is highly competitive with many national and regional department stores, mass
merchandisers, specialty apparel retailers, discount stores and online retailers offering a broad range of apparel products similar to the
products that we sell. Besides retail competitors, we consider any manufacturer of big & tall men’s merchandise operating in outlet malls
throughout the United States to be a competitor. It is also possible that another competitor, either a mass merchant or a men’s specialty
store or specialty apparel catalog, could gain market share in big & tall men’s apparel due to more favorable pricing, locations, brand and
fashion assortment and size availability. Many of our competitors and potential competitors may have substantially greater financial,
manufacturing and marketing resources than we do.

The presence in the marketplace of various fashion trends and the limited availability of shelf space also can affect competition. We may
not be able to compete successfully with our competitors in the future and could lose market share. A significant loss of market share
would adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

In addition, we maintain exclusivity arrangements with several of the brands that we carry. If we were to lose any of these exclusivity
arrangements or brands altogether, our revenues may be adversely affected.

Our business is seasonal and is affected by general economic conditions.

Our business is seasonal. Historically, a significant portion of our operating income has been generated during our fourth quarter
(November-January). If, for any reason, we miscalculate the demand for our products during our fourth quarter, our sales in that
quarter could decline, resulting in higher labor costs as a percentage of sales, lower margins and excess inventory, which could cause
our annual operating results to suffer. In addition, our operations may be negatively affected by local, regional or national economic
conditions, such as levels of disposable consumer income, consumer debt, interest rates and consumer confidence. Due to our
seasonality, the possible adverse impact from such risks is potentially greater if any such risks occur during our fourth quarter.

We are dependent on third parties for the manufacture of the merchandise we sell.

We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and are therefore entirely dependent on third parties to manufacture the
merchandise we sell. Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell to our customers in the merchandise styles and fashions
demanded by our particular customer base, sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer. We are dependent on these
third parties’ ability to fulfill our merchandise orders and meet our delivery terms. In the event that manufacturers are unable or
unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner or continue to manufacture products for us, we would have to rely on other current
manufacturing sources or identify and qualify new manufacturers. We might not be able to identify or qualify such manufacturers for

existing or new products in a timely manner and such manufacturers might not allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our
requirements. Our inability to secure adequate and timely supplies of private label merchandise would negatively impact proper
inventory levels, sales and gross margin rates, and ultimately our results of operations.

In addition, even if our current manufacturers continue to manufacture our products, they may not maintain adequate controls with
respect to product specifications and quality and may not continue to produce products that are consistent with our standards. If we
were forced to rely on manufacturers who produce products of inferior quality, then our brand and customer satisfaction would likely
suffer which would negatively impact our business. These manufacturers may also increase the cost to us of the products we purchase
from them. The Company publishes a Code of Conduct, which is a part of every agreement requiring compliance by the
manufacturing facilities. The Company is working with its third-party audit vendor to ensure a responsible and ethical supply chain.
We are and will continue to pursue our corporate responsibilities and create a positive effect on human rights as well as the
environment. If, despite third-party audits, the manufacturing facilities engage in workplace or human rights violations and we are
unable to identify or correct it, it may negatively affect our business and harm our brand.

Our business may be negatively impacted and we may be liable if third parties misappropriate proprietary information of our
customers and breach our security systems.

We may be harmed by security risks we face in connection with our electronic processing and transmission of confidential customer
information. The majority of our retail sales are settled through credit and debit card transactions. While our Board of Directors has a
Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Committee to oversee the monitoring and management of cyber risk and data privacy for our
Company, and we have not had any security breaches to date, any breach could expose us to risks of loss, litigation and liability and
could adversely affect our operations as well as cause our shoppers to stop shopping with us as a result of their lack of confidence in
the security of their personally identifiable information, which could have a negative impact on our sales and profitability. We attempt
to limit exposures to security breaches and sensitive customer data through the use of “tokens” in connection with both in-store and
online credit card transactions, which eliminates the storage of credit card numbers. Like many retailers, we have seen an increase in
cyberattack attempts, predominantly through phishing and social engineering scams, and in particular, ransomware. While none of
these attempts has been successful, there can be no assurance that our continued security measures will be effective or sufficient in the
future. If third parties are able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate the personal information or credit card
information of our customers or if third parties gain unauthorized and improper access to such information, we could be subject to
liability. These liabilities could include claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar
fraud claims, or claims for other misuses of personal information, including unauthorized marketing purposes, and could ultimately
result in litigation. Liability for misappropriation of this information could be significant.

Further, if a third party were to use this proprietary customer information in order to compete with us, it could have a material adverse
impact on our business and could result in litigation.

We may be unable to predict fashion trends and customer preferences successfully.

Customer tastes and fashion trends are volatile and tend to change rapidly. Our success depends in large part upon our ability to
predict effectively and respond to changing fashion tastes and consumer demands and to translate market trends to appropriate
saleable product offerings. If we are unable to predict or respond to changing styles or trends successfully and misjudge the market for
products or any new product lines, our sales will be impacted and we may be faced with a substantial amount of unsold inventory or
missed opportunities. In response, we may be forced to rely on additional markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess, slow-
moving inventory, which would decrease our revenues and margins. In addition, the failure to satisfy consumer demand, specifically
in our DXL stores and from our website, could have serious longer-term consequences, such as an adverse impact on our brand value
and the loss of market share to our competitors.

The loss of any of our key trademarks or licenses could adversely affect demand for our products.

We own and use a number of trademarks and operate under several trademark license agreements. We believe that certain of these
trademarks have significant value and are instrumental in our ability to create and sustain demand for and to market our products. We
cannot be certain that these trademarks and licensing agreements will remain in effect and enforceable or that any license agreements,
upon expiration, can be renewed on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, any future disputes concerning these trademarks and
licenses may cause us to incur significant litigation costs or force us to suspend use of the disputed trademarks.

General Risks That May Affect Our Business

If our long-lived assets become impaired, we may need to record significant non-cash impairment charges.

Periodically, we review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever economic events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Specifically, if an individual store location is unable to generate sufficient future
cash flows, we may be required to record a partial or full impairment of that store’s right-of-use assets and its property and equipment.
In addition, significant negative industry or general economic trends, disruptions to our business and unexpected significant changes
or planned changes in our use of the assets (such as store relocations or closures) may also result in impairment charges. As a result of
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business during fiscal 2020, the Company did incur significant asset
impairment charges during fiscal 2020. Due to the uncertainty that remains regarding the duration of the pandemic and its impact on
our store locations, we may need to take additional impairment charges. Any such impairment charges, if significant, could adversely
affect our financial position and results of operations.

Changes to LIBOR may negatively impact us.

The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank
market and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. Our current credit facility provides us an option
to convert some of our prime-based borrowings into short-term LIBOR contracts.

Regulators in the United Kingdom that oversee LIBOR have stated that they cannot guarantee LIBOR's availability beyond the end of
2021 and expects that reliance on LIBOR will be phased out through 2023. In the absence of a LIBOR rate, our credit facility
provides for a comparable or successor rate to be used. It is expected that the LIBOR rate will be replaced by the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate. As such, while we do not expect that we will have to renegotiate our credit facility, we do not know whether it could
result in increased interest costs. In the absence of a favorable LIBOR or successor rate, our borrowings bear interest based on the
Federal Funds rate. At January 30, 2021, approximately $72.0 million of our total outstanding debt of $74.4 million was in short-term
LIBOR-based contracts. We cannot provide assurance that future interest rate charges will not have a material negative impact on our
business, financial position, or operating results.

Our success depends significantly on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain additional personnel.

Our future success is dependent on the personal efforts, performance and abilities of our key management, which includes our
executive officers as well as members of our senior management. The loss of any of our senior management may result in a loss of
organizational focus, poor operating execution, an inability to identify and execute strategic initiatives, an impairment in our ability to
identify new store locations, and an inability to consummate possible acquisitions. The competition is intense for the type of highly
skilled individuals with relevant industry experience that we require and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain new
employees of the caliber needed to achieve our objectives.

Labor shortages or increases in labor costs due to new regulations could harm our business.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during fiscal 2020 we experienced labor shortages in our distribution facility and in our stores. If
such labor shortages continue, especially during peak-selling periods, it may negatively impact our ability to process inventory in a
timely manner and effectively staff our stores. Furthermore, if the federal minimum wage is increased to $15 per hour, we may need
to increase not only the rate of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above
minimum wage. If we are unable to pass on these higher costs through price increases or reduced workforce hours, our margins and
profitability may be adversely impacted which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial
condition.

Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and finished goods could increase costs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ban of Xinjiang cotton, we are starting to see cost increases in labor and across raw materials.
We have secured raw materials in key item programs to reduce the impact on our gross margin. Fluctuations in the price, availability
and quality of fabrics or other raw materials used in the manufacturing of our merchandise could have a material adverse effect on our
gross margin or on our ability to meet our customers’ demands. The prices for fabrics depend on demand and market prices for the
raw materials used to produce them. To the extent that we cannot offset these cost increases with other cost reductions or efficiencies,
such higher costs will need to be passed on to our customers. Such increased costs could lead to reduced customer demand, which
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flow.

Failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations could negatively affect our business operations and financial performance.

Our business is subject to federal, state, local and international laws, rules and regulations, such as state and local wage and hour laws,
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), securities laws, import and export
laws (including customs regulations), privacy and information security regulations, unclaimed property laws, the Affordable Care Act
and many others. The effect of some of these laws and regulations may be to increase the cost of doing business and may have a
material impact on our earnings. In addition, the complexity of the regulatory environment in which we operate and the related cost of
compliance are both increasing due to legal and regulatory requirements and increased enforcement. In addition, as a result of
operating in Canada, we must comply with their laws and regulations which may differ substantially from, and may conflict with,
corresponding U.S. laws and regulations. We may also be subject to investigations or audits by governmental authorities and
regulatory agencies, which can occur in the ordinary course of business or which can result from increased scrutiny from a particular
agency towards an industry, country or practice. If we fail to comply with laws, rules and regulations or the manner in which they are
interpreted or applied, we may be subject to government enforcement action, class action litigation or other litigation, damage to our
reputation, civil and criminal liability, damages, fines and penalties, and increased cost of regulatory compliance, any of which could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure and Stock

Trading of our common stock on the OTCQX market may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our
common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

In December 2020 we voluntarily delisted our common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market to the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets.
Our common stock is currently quoted under the symbol “DXLG.” Trading in stock quoted on the OTCQX may be thin and
characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business
prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our operating performance.
Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. Our common stock will continue to trade on OTCQX so
long as we meet their standards for continued qualifications, including having at least two brokers who choose to make a market for
our common stock, however, there can be no assurances regarding any such trading.

Our stock price has been and will likely continue to be volatile and fluctuate substantially.

The market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to fluctuate substantially as a result of many factors, some of
which are beyond our control. For example, since January 4, 2021, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQX
has ranged from a low of $0.26 to a high of $0.80 on January 29, 2021. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the market price of our
common stock include the following:

(cid:129)

overall changes in the economy and general market volatility;

news announcements regarding our quarterly or annual results of operations;

quarterly comparable sales;

acquisitions;

competitive developments;

governmental regulation (such as increased wage and paid benefits laws);

litigation affecting us; or

(cid:129) market views as to the prospects of the retail clothing industry generally.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, limits transfers of our common stock and may, along with state law, inhibit potential
acquisition bids that could be beneficial to our stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains provisions that restrict any person or entity from attempting to purchase our
stock, without prior permission from the Board of Directors, to the extent that such transfer would (i) create or result in an individual
or entity becoming a five-percent stockholder of our stock, or (ii) increase the stock ownership percentage of any existing five-percent
stockholder. These provisions provide that any transfer that violates such provisions shall be null and void and would require the
purported transferee, upon demand by us, to transfer the shares that exceed the five percent limit to an agent designated by us for the
purpose of conducting a sale of such excess shares. These provisions would make the acquisition of our Company more expensive to

the acquirer and could significantly delay, discourage, or prevent third parties from acquiring our Company without the approval of
our Board of Directors.

In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law, which could also delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or
proxy contest involving us. In particular, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a Delaware corporation from
engaging in certain business combinations with any interested stockholder for a period of three years unless specific conditions are met.
In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us,
including, without limitation, discouraging a proxy contest or making more difficult the acquisition of a substantial block of our common
stock. The provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate offices and retail distribution center are located at 555 Turnpike Street in Canton, Massachusetts. The property consists
of a 755,992 gross square foot building located on approximately 27.3 acres. We owned the property until January 30, 2006, at which
time we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction, whereby we entered into a twenty-year lease agreement for an initial annual rent
payment of $4.6 million, with periodic increases every fifth anniversary of the lease.

As of January 30, 2021, we operated 226 Destination XL retail stores, 17 Destination XL outlet stores, 46 Casual Male XL retail
stores and 22 Casual Male XL outlet stores. We lease all of these stores directly from owners of several different types of centers,
including life-style centers, shopping centers, freestanding buildings, outlet centers and downtown locations. The store leases are
generally 5 to 10 years in length and contain renewal options extending their terms by between 5 and 10 years. Following this
discussion is a listing by state of all store locations open at January 30, 2021.

Sites for new stores are selected based on several factors, including the demographic profile of the area in which the site is located, the
types of stores and other retailers in the area, the location of the store within the center and the attractiveness of the store layout. We
also utilize financial models to project the profitability of each location using assumptions such as the center’s sales per square foot
averages, estimated occupancy costs and return on investment requirements.

shares are held of record by a broker or clearing agent.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

There were no stock repurchases during fiscal 2020.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Note Applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

As noted above in Part 1, this Annual Report, including, without limitation, this Item 7, contains “forward-looking statements,”
including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results or
developments could differ materially from those projected in such statements because of numerous factors, including, without
limitation those risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors, which you are encouraged to read. These forward-looking
statements generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management’s reasonable estimates of
future results or trends. Such statements include our financial outlook for fiscal 2021 with respect to sales, comparable sales, adjusted
EBITDA and free cash flows, statements regarding our ability to withstand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business,
our efforts to restructure and reduce costs and right size our lease structure, expected annualized savings from restructuring actions
taken in fiscal 2020, expected additional borrowing capacity under our new FILO loan, and our expected liquidity for the next 12
months. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in light of those risks
and uncertainties and in conjunction with our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified
in their entirety by the foregoing. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made.
We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change
in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances in which the forward-looking statement is based.

Certain figures discussed below may not foot due to rounding.

Segment Reporting

We have three principal operating segments: our stores, direct business and our wholesale business. We consider our stores and direct
business segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and have therefore
aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with our omni-channel business approach. Due to the
immateriality of the wholesale segment’s revenues, profits and assets, its operating results have been aggregated with the retail
segment for all periods.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant
disruption of the financial and retail markets, including a disruption in consumer demand for men’s clothing and accessories. While
the pandemic has had, and will likely continue to have, a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations, we moved early and decisively throughout fiscal 2020 to preserve our financial flexibility and position ourselves to
withstand the short-term impact of the pandemic.

We closed all of our retail stores on March 17, 2020 and, beginning at the end of April 2020 and continuing into the second quarter of
fiscal 2020, we started to gradually reopen stores. As of the end of June, all stores had been reopened but have been operating at
reduced hours. Since the reopening, some stores have had to close for periods of time. Our direct business continues to play a vital role
as we are seeing our customer’s shopping preference shift to online. Given the increased demand in our direct business, we have been
very fortunate that our distribution center was able to operate without any business disruption during fiscal 2020.

The unrelenting impact of COVID-19 on the apparel industry continues to be a challenge. At DXL, we experienced a shift among our
customers away from event-driven shopping and into need-based shopping. Our customers spent less time this year at large social
gathering events such as parties, graduations, and sporting events which negatively impacted demand for apparel. We saw
improvements in many of our core and basic categories which have been driven by this change in lifestyle of staying close to home.
We expect this trend to continue for the early part of fiscal 2021, and we expect our customers’ shopping behaviors to significantly
change when vaccines are widely distributed and our customer is in a need to replenish his wardrobe over time.

Comparable Sales and E-Commerce (Direct) Sales Definition

Our customer’s shopping experience continues to evolve across multiple channels and we are continually adapting to meet the guest’s
needs. The majority of our stores have the capability of fulfilling online orders if merchandise is not available in the warehouse. As a
result, we continue to see more transactions that begin online but are ultimately completed at the store level. Similarly, if a customer
visits a store and the item is out of stock, the associate can order the item through our website. A customer also has the ability to order
online and pick-up in a store and, more recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pick-up at curbside. We define store sales as sales

that originate and are fulfilled directly at the store level. E-commerce sales, which we also refer to as direct sales, are defined as sales
that originate online, whether through our website, at the store level or through a third-party marketplace.

Stores that have been open for 13 months are included in comparable sales. The Company has not carved-out prior year sales for
periods where the stores were temporarily closed in fiscal 2020 due to the pandemic. Stores that have been remodeled or re-located
during the period are also included in our determination of comparable stores sales. Stores that have been expanded by more than 25%
are considered non-comparable for the first 13 months. If a store becomes a clearance center, it is also removed from the calculation
of comparable sales. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry and, as a result, our calculation of
comparable sales is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other retailers.

Non-GAAP Measures

We monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business. These measures
include adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per diluted share, free cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. We believe these
measures provide helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and that the inclusion of these non-GAAP
measures is important to assist investors in comparing our performance in fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. We also provide
certain forward-looking information with respect to certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. However, these measures may not
be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net loss, net
loss per diluted share or cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below for
additional information on these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures.

Adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA exclude asset impairment charges, exit costs associated with London operations, corporate restructuring and CEO
transition costs. Adjusted net loss, for all periods, assumes a normalized tax benefit of 26%. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on our revenues and, in turn our earnings in fiscal 2020. In response, we took
decisive steps early in fiscal 2020 to pivot our business model and position ourselves for recovery, and emerge with significantly more
operating leverage as we head into fiscal 2021. While fiscal 2020 was a challenging year for us, we navigated those challenges and
maintained our solvency through one of the most difficult years in the history of our Company.

Managing our liquidity to help us weather the impact of the pandemic was our primary objective, which we believe we successfully
accomplished. In those initial few weeks in March 2020, we took several immediate and proactive steps, including: drawing down
$30.0 million from our credit facility, furloughing the majority of our organization, cancelling inventory orders, eliminating capital
spending except where necessary, instituting a temporary reduction in pay for management (director-level and above) until the start of
the third quarter, suspending the directors second quarter compensation, working with landlords on rent deferments and abatements
during those temporary closures, negotiating extended payment terms with our suppliers and vendors, and amending our credit facility

to provide additional borrowing capacity. As our stores began to open, we continued to focus on liquidity. We took several cost-
reduction measures to realign our cost structure with our current sales trends. These steps have been difficult and included reducing
our field organization by approximately 54% and our corporate workforce by 29%. In November 2020, we also terminated certain
service agreements and eliminated certain professional services, much of the benefit of which will not be realized until fiscal 2021.
As a result of these efforts, we not only preserved liquidity, but we also have substantially reduced our operating cost structure.

From a liquidity perspective, at January 30, 2021, our total debt, net of cash, increased only $5.6 million to the prior year despite the
significant loss in revenues. We decreased inventory levels by $17.4 million, or 17%, and our year-end inventory is current with
clearance inventory down $1.4 million from February 1, 2020. In addition, we were able to work with our landlord community to
renegotiate much of our lease portfolio given current sales trends, which benefited our cash flows in fiscal 2020 by approximately
$10.0 million and will benefit fiscal 2021 as well. We also restructured 91 individual store leases in fiscal 2020 which we expect to
deliver over $13.5 million in savings over the life of the leases, including approximately $5.2 million in fiscal 2021. As discussed
below, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2020, we also raised $5 million, before offering costs, from the sale of 11.1 million shares of
common stock through a registered direct offering and also entered into a new first-in, last out term loan “FILO” loan which replaced
our existing FILO loan, both of which added further flexibility to our liquidity as we head into 2021.

While our stores were adversely affected by the pandemic, with comparable store sales down 47.1% to last year, our digital growth
was a bright spot for us this year. We had started transforming our digital presence in fiscal 2019 in order to grow our digital business,
and in response to the pandemic we accelerated those efforts during fiscal 2020 as our customers migrated to online shopping. Our e-
commerce site, DXL.com, was instrumental to our business, enabling us to continue to serve our customers. As our customers
increasingly migrated to online shopping, our DXL.com site and distribution center were able to successfully meet the increased
demand. Sales from our DXL.com site increased 38.6% over the prior year. This is an exciting opportunity for us and we are hoping
we are able to build on this growth into fiscal 2021.

The loss of revenues in fiscal 2020, resulted in a net loss for fiscal 2020 of $(1.26) per diluted share as compared to a net loss of
$(0.16) per diluted share in fiscal 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net loss was $(0.72) per diluted share in fiscal 2020 as
compared to $(0.06) per diluted share in fiscal 2019.

The loss in store sales from the temporary store closures and reduced demand for in-person shopping resulted in our having to take
significant impairment charges against our long-lived assets, especially in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Our results for fiscal 2020
include a total impairment charge of $14.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, primarily related to the write-down of our operating
lease right-of-use assets and, to a lesser extent, store assets. This compares to a total impairment charge of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per
diluted share, in fiscal 2019.

Subsequent Events

Registered Direct Offering of Common Stock

On February 5, 2021, we sold, pursuant to a definitive stock purchase agreement in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of
11,111,111 shares of our common stock, for a gross purchase price of $5.0 million, before payment of offering costs. We intend to use
the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purpose.

New FILO Loan

On March 16, 2021, we refinanced our existing $15.0 million first-in, last-out term loan under our credit agreement with Bank of
America and entered into a new, $17.5 million senior secured first-in, last-out term loan facility (the “new FILO Loan”). Pursuant to
the Fourth Amendment to its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as amended, the “Credit
Facility”), PathLight Capital Fund II LP was added as the FILO lender to the Credit Facility. Proceeds from the new FILO Loan were
used to repay in full the Company’s existing FILO loan with the balance of the proceeds to be used for working capital.

The borrowing base for the new FILO Loan is determined based on a percentage of eligible inventory, receivables and intellectual
property. We expect the new FILO Loan to provide us additional borrowing capacity of approximately $5.0 to $10.0 million. Interest
rates under the new FILO Loan will be higher than the existing FILO loan by approximately 250 to 300 basis points. See “Liquidity
and Capital Resources” for a more detailed description of the new FILO Loan.

Financial Outlook

Our plans for fiscal 2021 include expected sales of approximately $385.0 million to $402.0 million, adjusted EBITDA of
approximately $11.0 to $18.0 million and positive free cash flow, which we expect to use to pay-down debt. Our financial projections
assume that vaccines against the COVID-19 virus are widely available and administered by the end of Spring 2021. We believe that
demand for apparel will gradually improve in fiscal 2021 as our customers begin to return to pre-COVID-19 activities. We expect a
10.8% to 14.8% decline in comparable sales from fiscal 2019 levels, with comparable store sales down 23.8% to 27.8% and our direct

business up 26.9% to 30.7% to fiscal 2019. We expect to achieve these results through continued penetration of our direct business
and a modest recovery in store traffic during the course of the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 were
all 52-week periods.

Below is a discussion of our results of operations for fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020 (fiscal 2019) includes a discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations comparing fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2018 in Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

318.9

For fiscal 2020, total sales decreased 32.7% to $318.9 million from $474.0 million in fiscal 2019. Comparable sales for the full year
decreased 32.6%, primarily due to a comparable sales decrease in stores of 47.1%, partially offset by an increase in our direct business
of 14.9%. All of our stores were temporarily closed on March 17, 2020 and, at the end of April 2020, we started to gradually reopen
them. By the end of June 2020, all stores had reopened, but with reduced operating hours. Stores sales gradually improved through
the remainder of fiscal 2020, but comparable store sales were still below fiscal 2019 levels with the fourth quarter comparable store
sales down 37.3%. Until vaccines are widely administered and customers gain some comfort that enables them to begin socializing,
we expect to continue to see similar sales trends for at least the early part of fiscal 2021.

The increase in our direct business was driven by our DXL.com e-commerce site, which had a sales increase of 38.6% and was
partially offset by a 50.4% decrease in universe sales, which are online sales that are initiated at the store level. The decrease in our
universe sales is directly attributable to store closures and the decrease in store traffic once the stores reopened. The strong growth in
our direct business was a direct outcome of the digital strategies we implemented and the customers’ shift in shopping preferences in
response to COVID-19.

Wholesale revenues for fiscal 2020 increased $4.1 million to $16.6 million. The increase is primarily due to the sale of masks during
the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin rate for fiscal 2020 was 32.9% compared to 43.1% in fiscal 2019. The decrease of 10.2% was due to a decrease in
merchandise margin of 5.6% and a decrease of 4.6% due to the deleveraging of occupancy costs. On a dollar basis, occupancy costs
decreased $8.3 million, or 11.8% largely due to our efforts to restructure our lease agreements due to the impact of the pandemic on
our retail stores, as well as due to closed stores.

The decrease in merchandise margin reflects the increased promotional posture we took in response to COVID-19, especially during
the second quarter, where we were highly promotional in our effort to drive sales and reduce inventories. For the second half of fiscal
2020, we focused on more targeted promotions with a greater gross margin impact, which improved our merchandise margins in the
third and fourth quarter. Because of the growth in our direct channel and free shipping promotions during fiscal 2020, our shipping
costs increased over the prior year.

While our gross margin was negatively impacted by the deleveraging of occupancy costs against the lower sales base, we worked
throughout fiscal 2020 with our landlord community to restructure our existing lease agreements. In the first half of fiscal 2020, we
negotiated $10.0 million of favorable rent abatements and deferments with our landlords for the months that our stores were
temporarily closed. In addition, to date, we have also restructured 91 individual store leases which will deliver over $13.5 million in
savings over the life of the leases, including $5.2 million of savings projected in fiscal 2021.

By its nature, gross margin rates for wholesale are lower than gross margin rates for the Company’s retail segment. During fiscal
2020, margins in our wholesale business improved, primarily driven by our sales of masks in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

SG&A expenses for fiscal 2020 decreased $51.6 million, or 28.6%, to $129.1 million as compared to $180.7 million in fiscal 2019.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2020 were 40.5% as compared to 38.1% for fiscal 2019.

The decrease in SG&A expenses for the year was due to the decrease in variable-based costs such as store payroll, supplies, travel and
other supporting expenses, a decrease in advertising costs, corporate payroll, professional services and director compensation.
Performance-based incentives and insurance costs increased over the prior year. Included in SG&A costs for fiscal 2020 is an earned
tax credit of approximately $1.3 million that the Company realized as part of the CARES Act.

We took several steps throughout fiscal 2020 to reduce our operating costs, including the furlough of both our store associates and
certain corporate associates while our stores were closed, a reduction in marketing costs, a temporary salary reduction of 10-20% for
management levels director and above, and the suspension of non-employee director compensation for the second quarter. We also
implemented several cost savings initiatives to realign our operating costs with expected sales levels, which resulted in the termination
of certain service agreements and professional services, a reduction in our field organization by approximately 54% and in our
corporate workforce by 29%. With the reduced sales levels and store traffic, our stores are operating at minimal staffing levels and
reduced operating hours.

The expected annualized savings from the action taken in November 2020 are expected to result in annualized savings of $9.7 million,
the majority of which will be realized in fiscal 2021. These savings will be in addition to the previous cost-saving measures we took
during the first three quarters of fiscal 2020.

SG&A expenses are managed through two primary cost centers: Customer Facing Costs and Corporate Support Costs. Customer
Facing Costs, which include store payroll, marketing, and other store operating costs, represented 20.2% of sales in fiscal 2020
compared to 22.6% of sales in fiscal 2019. Corporate Support Costs, which include the distribution center and corporate overhead
costs, represented 20.3% of sales in fiscal 2020 compared to 15.5% of sales in fiscal 2019 and reflects the impact of the deleveraging
of sales.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

We regularly review assets for impairment indicators at the individual store level, as this represents the lowest level of identifiable
cash flows. Store assets include property and equipment as well as operating lease right-of-use assets. When indicators of impairment
are present, a recoverability analysis is performed.

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on store operations, we have taken significant impairment charges in fiscal 2020,
primarily related to our right-of-use assets. Our determination of impairment was based on multiple probability-weighted scenarios as
to the recoverability of each individual store assuming that consumer retail spending would remain curtailed for a period of time.

In addition, the asset impairment charges for fiscal 2020 were partially offset by non-cash gains related to the Company’s decision to
close certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the existing lease liabilities. To the extent that such gain related to
previously recorded impairment charges for operating right-of-use assets, the gain was included as an offset to impairment charges,
with the remainder of the gain included as a reduction in store occupancy costs. For fiscal 2020, the Company recognized a non-cash
gain of $3.1 million, of which $2.6 million was included as an offset to the asset impairment charges.

For fiscal 2020, the asset impairment charge was $14.8 million, which included $13.3 for the write-down of operating lease right-of-
use assets and $4.1 million for the write-down of store assets, partially offset by a non-cash gain of $2.6 million. The asset
impairment charge for fiscal 2019 was $0.9 million, which included $0.7 million for the write-down of right-of-use assets and $0.2
million for the write-down of store assets.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense was $21.5 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $24.6 million for fiscal 2019. With the majority
of our new store growth complete, our depreciation expense has been decreasing over the past few years.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Net interest expense for fiscal 2020 was $3.9 million as compared to $3.3 million for fiscal 2019. The increase in interest expense is
due to an increase in average borrowings and an increase in the effective borrowing rates. As a result of our amendment to our credit
facility in April 2020, interest rates under our Credit Facility, which includes our FILO loan, increased by approximately 150 basis
points. In addition, as discussed above, on March 20, 2020, we drew approximately $30.0 million against our revolving credit facility,
which increased our average borrowings. This action was taken to provide the Company with flexibility to manage its cash flow due
to the uncertainty of the pandemic.

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more discussion regarding our credit facility and term loan as well as our future
liquidity needs.

INCOME TAXES

Realization of our deferred tax assets, which relate principally to federal net operating loss carryforwards, of which approximately
$158.2 million will expire from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2037, is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the near term.
In addition, there are $43.1 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that do not expire.

At the end of fiscal 2013, we entered a three-year cumulative loss and based on all positive and negative evidence at February 1, 2014,
we established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. While we expect to return to profitability, generate
taxable income and ultimately emerge from a three-year cumulative loss, based on our results for fiscal 2020 and our forecast for
fiscal 2021, we believe that a full valuation allowance remains appropriate at this time.

Due to current period losses, our current tax provision for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was primarily due to current state margin tax,
based on gross receipts less certain deductions. See Note F of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NET LOSS

Net loss for fiscal 2020 was $(64.5) million, or $(1.26) per diluted share, as compared to $(7.8) million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, in
fiscal 2019.

Included in our results for fiscal 2020 were asset impairment charges of $14.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. Included in our
results for fiscal 2019 were charges of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the exit costs associated with our London
operations, $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in CEO transition costs and $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in impairment
charges.

On a non-GAAP basis, before asset impairments, exit costs associated with our London operations, CEO transition costs and assuming
a normalized tax rate of 26% for both years, adjusted net loss per share for fiscal 2020 was $(0.72) per diluted share, compared to
$(0.06) per diluted share for fiscal 2019. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below.

SEASONALITY

A comparison of sales in each quarter of the past three fiscal years is presented below. The sales results for fiscal 2020 reflect the
impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company’s business, especially in the first and second quarters when we temporarily
closed all of our stores in response to the pandemic. The amounts shown are also not necessarily indicative of actual trends, because
such amounts also reflect the addition of new stores and the remodeling and closing of other stores during these periods. Consistent
with the retail apparel industry, our business is seasonal. Generally, the majority of our operating income is generated in the fourth
quarter as a result of the impact of the holiday selling season. A comparison of quarterly sales, gross profit, and net loss per share for
the past two fiscal years is presented in Note O of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Although our operations are influenced by general economic trends, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the
results of our operations in the last three fiscal years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and availability under our credit facility with Bank of America,
N.A., which was most recently amended in April 2020 (“Credit Facility”). Although our cash flow from operations has been
significantly impacted by the lost revenue as of result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that we have taken sufficient steps to
manage our available cash flow for the foreseeable future. During fiscal 2020, we amended our Credit Facility to increase our
borrowing base, negotiated extended payment terms with vendors, restructured lease agreements, cancelled inventory purchase orders,
reduced operating costs and reduced capital spending. Subsequent to year end, in February 2021, we raised $5 million, before offering
costs, through the sale of 11.1 million shares in a direct registered offering, the proceeds of which will be used for working capital in
fiscal 2021. Also in March 2021, the Company entered into a new $17.5 million FILO loan to replace the Company’s existing $15.0
million FILO loan. Based on our current projections, we believe our cash on hand, including the proceeds from the equity offering,
availability under our amended Credit Facility, the new FILO loan, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover our
working capital requirements and limited capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However, the extent to which the COVID-19
pandemic will continue to impact our business in fiscal 2021 will depend on the swiftness and effectiveness of the vaccine roll-out and
our customers returning to pre-COVID activities, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Managing our business, while preserving our liquidity was our primarily objective in fiscal 2020. Our total debt, net of cash, at the
end of fiscal 2020 was $55.4 million, as compared to $49.8 million in fiscal 2019. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is
largely dependent on our inventory levels, which we have intentionally reduced to realign with current expectations of sales.
Accordingly, the decrease in the unused excess availability under our credit facility at year-end is due to the $17.4 million decrease in
inventory and the $14.7 million increase in cash on hand.

The following table sets forth financial data regarding our liquidity position at the end of the past two fiscal years:

Our Credit Facility provides for a maximum committed borrowing of $125.0 million, which, pursuant to an accordion feature, may be
increased to $175.0 million upon our request and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase (the “Revolving Facility”).
The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15.0
million for swingline loans. Borrowings made pursuant to the Revolving Facility under the Credit Facility bear interest, calculated
under either the Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a varying
percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either 1.75% or 2.00%, or (b) the LIBOR rate (the Company being able to
select interest periods of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months) plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess
availability, of either 2.75% or 3.00%. The current maturity date is May 24, 2023. The Credit Facility was amended in March 2021,
subsequent to fiscal 2020, to accommodate the new FILO loan agreement and the repayment of the existing FILO loan.

Our Credit Facility is described in more detail in Note D to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We had outstanding borrowings of $59.7 million under the Revolving Facility at January 30, 2021. Outstanding standby letters of
credit were $2.8 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $0.1 million. The average monthly borrowing outstanding
under the Revolving Facility during fiscal 2020 was approximately $67.6 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of
approximately $17.9 million. Unused excess availability at January 30, 2021 was $11.5 million. Our obligations under the Credit
Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets.

FILO Loan

The Credit Facility also includes a FILO loan for $15.0 million. The total borrowing capacity under the FILO loan is based on a
borrowing base, generally defined as a specified percentage of the value of eligible assets, including certain trade names, that
amortizes over time, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible inventory that amortizes over time. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2020, we entered into an amendment that extended these advance rates to December 2020 before they began to step down.

As a result of extending the advance rates under the FILO loan, the applicable margin rates for borrowings were increased by
approximately 150 basis points. Accordingly, current borrowings made under the FILO loan bear interest, calculated under either the
Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a varying percentage based on
the Company’s excess availability, of either 3.75% or 4.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate (the Company being able to select interest periods
of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months) plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either
4.75% or 5.00%. At January 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of $15.0 million was in a 1-week LIBOR-based contract with an
interest rate of 6.00%. As discussed above, under “Subsequent Events”, on March 16, 2021 the FILO was repaid in full in connection
with the Company’s new FILO loan.

INVENTORY

At January 30, 2021, total inventories decreased to $85.0 million from $102.4 million at February 1, 2020. The $17.4 million decrease
in inventory is the result of our managing inventory very conservatively, slowing replenishment and reducing receipts to align with the
reduced sales volumes as a result of the pandemic. We have narrowed our assortment of merchandise in our efforts to maintain a
healthy inventory and manage clearance levels. At January 30, 2021, our clearance inventory decreased by $1.4 million, or 13.6%
from the prior year, and represented 10.4% of our inventory as compared to 10.0% at February 1, 2020.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

connection with the Company’s new FILO loan entered into subsequent to the end of fiscal 2021, the FILO was repaid in full on
March 16, 2021. At January 30, 2021, we had $59.7 million outstanding under our credit facility, which is excluded from the
above table.
Interest on long-term obligations is estimated using LIBOR rate at January 30, 2021 for the FILO loan, assuming no principal
payment until maturity of the FILO loan.

purchases. These commitments are contingent on the supplier meeting its obligations under the contract. Excluded from
Merchandise Purchase Obligations in the table above are our outstanding obligations pursuant to open purchase orders. At
January 30, 2021, we had approximately $62.4 million in open purchase orders. We estimate that approximately 95% of these
purchase orders may be considered non-cancelable.

(5) At January 30, 2021, we had an unfunded Pension Obligation of $4.5 million and obligations under our Supplemental Employee
Retirement Plan of $0.6 million, which are not included in the table because of uncertainty over whether or when further
contributions will be required.

In response to the pandemic, we did not rebrand any of our Casual Male XL stores or open any new DXL locations during fiscal 2020.
In total, we closed 12 stores during the year. Below is a summary of those store closings from February 1, 2020 to January 30, 2021:

Our capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 were $4.2 million, as compared to $13.4 million in fiscal 2019. Early in fiscal 2020, we
eliminated all non-essential capital projects for fiscal 2020 in our efforts to preserve liquidity. The capital expenditures for fiscal 2020
primarily related to management information projects to support our distribution center and marketing, including our CRM platform.

In fiscal 2019, in addition to our management information projects, we also rebranded 14 Casual Male XL stores to DXL stores and
opened two DXL retail stores. During fiscal 2021, we do not plan to open any new stores or rebrand any of our Casual Male XL
stores. As mentioned above, during fiscal 2020, we have been proactively working with our landlord community to renegotiate our
existing leases given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our retail store sales. We have 131 stores that have leases with either
a natural lease expiration or a kick-out option within the next two years. This provides us an opportunity to right-size our store
portfolio, through ongoing lease renegotiations or lease-term expirations, to ensure that we are optimizing our store profitability and
omni-channel distribution.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business, including the
measures below. We believe these measures provide helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance to
shareholders, investors and analysts, and that the inclusion of these non-GAAP measures is important to assist investors in comparing
our performance in fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, on a comparable basis. However, these measures may not be
comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for operating net
loss, net loss per diluted share or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Diluted Share

Adjusted net loss reflects an adjustment assuming a normal tax rate of 26% and the add-back of asset impairment charges, exit costs
associated with London operations, CEO transition costs and corporate restructuring. We have fully reserved against our deferred tax
assets and, therefore, net loss is not reflective of earnings assuming a “normal” tax position. Adjusted net loss provides investors with
a useful indication of the financial performance of the business, on a comparative basis, assuming a normalized tax rate of 26%.

The following table is a reconciliation of net loss and net loss per diluted share (on a GAAP basis) to adjusted net loss and adjusted net
loss per diluted share (on a non-GAAP basis) (certain amounts may not foot due to rounding):

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe that these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our
performance. Management uses EBITDA as a key metric to measure profitability and economic productivity. EBITDA is calculated
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before asset impairment
charges, exit costs associated with London operations, CEO transition costs and corporate restructuring.

The Company is unable to reconcile the adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2021 to net loss, because certain information necessary
for the reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts. Such information is difficult to predict and/or is dependent on
future events that are outside of our control. In particular, we are unable to reasonably predict potential asset impairments, because of
the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our retail stores.

The following table is a reconciliation of net loss on a GAAP basis to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, on a non-GAAP basis, for
each fiscal year. (Certain amounts in the following table do not foot due to rounding):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES; USE OF ESTIMATES

Our financial statements are based on the application of significant accounting policies, many of which require our management to
make significant estimates and assumptions (see Note A to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We believe that the
following items involve some of the more critical judgments in the application of accounting policies that currently affect our financial
condition and results of operations.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

Stock awards are primarily granted pursuant to our Long-Term Incentive Plans (“LTIPs”). During fiscal 2020, we had three active
LTIPs: the 2018-2020 LTIP, the 2019-2021 LTIP and the 2020-2022 LTIP. See Note H to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional discussion of our LTIPs. Awards under each LTIP consist of 50% time-based awards and 50% performance-
based awards. All time-based awards granted pursuant are amortized over each LTIP’s respective vesting periods.

The performance-based component of each LTIP is a dollar-denominated award. Equity awards will only be granted if such
performance targets are achieved. Accordingly, each quarter the Company reviews its expected achievement against such
performance targets to assess whether an accrual is necessary. The performance metrics are for three-year performance periods and
may include metrics such as total shareholder return against peers, 3-year stacked comparable sales or Adjusted EBITDA. As such,
the accruals are based on projections that may extend beyond a year and are subject to change quarter to quarter based on actual
performance. All accruals are recorded as a liability. If performance targets are achieved and equity awards are granted, the related
cost of those awards will be reclassified from the accrual to stock-based compensation on grant date.

The performance targets under the 2018-2020 LTIP were not achieved, therefore, there were no awards earned in fiscal 2020. With
respect to the performance-based component of the 2019-2021 LTIP and the 2020-2022 LTIP, which each approximate $1.9 million,
at target, awards will be granted at the end of the respective performance period if the performance targets are achieved. Through the
end of fiscal 2020, we have accrued approximately $0.2 million for performance under the 2020-2022 LTIP. There is no accrual at
the end of fiscal 2020 for the 2019-2021 LTIP.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets for impairment when facts and circumstances
indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate these assets for impairment at a store level for all
our retail locations and will recognize an impairment when the undiscounted cash flow estimated to be generated by those assets is
less than the assets’ carrying amount. If actual market conditions are less favorable than management’s projections, future write-offs
may be necessary. The model for undiscounted future cash flows includes assumptions, at the individual store level, with respect to
expectations for future sales and gross margin rates as well as an estimate for occupancy costs used to estimate the fair value of the
respective store’s operating lease right-of-use asset. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted
future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds. Due to uncertainty around the duration and
extent of the pandemic’s impact on future cash flows, the Company’s projections were based on multiple probability-weighted
scenarios and assumed that consumer retail spending would remain substantially curtailed for a period of time.

For fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, we recorded asset impairment charges of $14.8 million, $0.9 million and $4.6 million,
respectively.

Leases

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” our leases are reported as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease
liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As discussed above, we evaluate, at the individual store level, the right-of-use assets for
impairment at least annually but also when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Furthermore as the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental
borrowing rate, based on information available at the lease measurement date to determine the present value of future payments. See
Note A to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the periods reported and in
future periods. See Note A to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for information on recent
accounting pronouncements and the impact of impending standards on our future filings.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to a variety of risks, including
market risk associated with interest rate movements on borrowings and foreign currency fluctuations. We regularly assess these risks
and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.

Interest Rates

We utilize cash from operations and from the Revolving Facility of our Credit Facility to fund our working capital needs. Our Credit
Facility is not used for trading or speculative purposes. As part of our Credit Facility, we also have an outstanding $15.0 million FILO
loan. In addition, we have available letters of credit as sources of financing for our working capital requirements. Borrowings under
the Credit Facility, which expires May 24, 2023, bear interest at variable rates based on Bank of America’s prime rate or LIBOR.

At January 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility of approximately $59.7 million, of which
approximately $57.0 million were in LIBOR-based contracts with an interest rate of approximately 4.00%. The remainder was prime-
based borrowings, with a rate of 5.25%. At January 30, 2021, the $15.0 million outstanding borrowings under the FILO loan were in
a LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate of 6.00%.

Based upon a sensitivity analysis as of January 30, 2021, assuming average outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2020 of $67.6
million under our Credit Facility and $15.0 million outstanding under our FILO loan, a 50 basis point increase in interest rates would
have increased interest expense by approximately $0.4 million on an annualized basis.

Foreign Currency

Our two DXL stores located in Toronto, Canada conduct business in Canadian dollars. As of January 30, 2021, sales from these stores
were immaterial to consolidated sales. As such, we believe that movement in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Destination XL Group, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Destination XL Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 30, 2021, and the related
notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 30, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of
February 3, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and Accounting Standards Update
2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a
whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or
on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Store Assets

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or
changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. As of January 30,
2021, the Company had property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets of $56.6 million and $134.3 million,
respectively. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets at an individual store level by determining whether the
carrying value of such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future
cash flows. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount
rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $14.8 million for the

year ended January 30, 2021. The impairment charge included approximately $4.1 million for the write-down of certain
property and equipment and $10.7 million for the write-down of certain operating lease right-of-use assets, related to stores
where the carrying value exceeded fair value.

We identified the evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived store assets, including property and equipment and operating
lease right-of-use assets, as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was applied in evaluating certain inputs
in the undiscounted and discounted cash flow models. These cash flow models included the following internally-developed
assumptions for which there was limited observable market information, and changes in the estimates for these assumptions
could have a significant impact on the resulting impairment charge, where applicable:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

forecasted sales attributable to individual stores
forecasted gross margin

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We performed sensitivity
analyses to assess the impact of reasonably possible changes to forecasted sales attributable to individual stores and
forecasted gross margin for certain stores. We evaluated management’s ability to effectively forecast sales and gross profit by
comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts. We evaluated the reasonableness of forecasted sales
attributable to individual stores by comparing the growth assumptions to available industry reports, historical financial data,
and budgets. We compared forecasted gross margin to historical financial data and budgets.

DESTINATION XL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 30, 2021

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Destination XL Group, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is the largest specialty retailer in the
United States of big & tall men’s clothing and shoes. The Company operates under the trade names of Destination XL®, DXL®, DXL
Men’s Apparel, DXL Outlets®, Casual Male XL® and Casual Male XL Outlets. At January 30, 2021, the Company operated 226 DXL
stores, 46 Casual Male XL stores, 22 Casual Male XL outlets and 17 DXL outlets located throughout the United States, including two
stores in Canada and an e-commerce site at www.dxl.com. In fiscal 2018, the Company launched a wholesale segment focused on
product development and distribution relationships with key retailers.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from estimates.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Business

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a
global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the Company’s operations, employees, distribution and
logistics, its vendors and customers. All of the Company’s store locations were closed temporarily on March 17, 2020. The Company
began reopening stores in late April and by the end of June 2020 all retail stores had been reopened. While all of the Company’s
stores were open, the majority were operating with reduced operating hours and were subject to having to close and re-open to any
COVID-19 concerns.

In March 2020, as a proactive measure, the Company drew $30.0 million under its revolving facility in order to increase the
Company’s cash position and preserve financial flexibility. In addition, in April 2020 the Company entered into an amendment to its
credit facility to, among other things, increase its borrowing base availability and permit the Company the ability to enter into
promissory notes with its merchandise vendors. See Note D, Debt Obligations, for a discussion of the amendment. During fiscal
2020, the Company entered into rent concessions with the majority of its landlords, in the form of rent abatements, rent deferments
and, to a lesser extent, lease term extensions as a result of store closures and the impact of COVID-19 on its store revenues. See Note
E, Leases, for more discussion. Further, since early March, the Company has taken proactive steps to manage cash by substantially
eliminating capital spend, negotiating deferred payment terms with vendors and, in limited cases, entering into short term notes,
reducing operating expenses and cancelling purchase orders for merchandise, where possible.

The Company intends to proceed cautiously and continue to take proactive steps to manage its liquidity.

Segment Reporting

The Company has three principal operating segments: its stores, direct and wholesale businesses. The Company considers its stores
and direct operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and has
therefore aggregated them into one reportable segment, retail segment, consistent with its omni-channel business approach. Due to the
immateriality of the wholesale segment’s revenues, profits and assets, its operating results are aggregated with the retail segment for
all periods.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and
fiscal 2018 were each 52-week periods, which ended on January 30, 2021, February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments, which have a maturity of ninety days or less when
acquired. Included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle within two to four
business days.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily includes amounts due for rebates from certain vendors and amounts due from wholesale customers. For
fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the Company did not incur any losses on its accounts receivable.

Accounts Payable

During fiscal 2020, the Company received extended payment terms with certain of its merchandise vendors, by entering into short-
term notes. The short-term notes, totaling $3.5 million, have terms of less than one-year and accrue interest at an annual rate of 4.0%,
with payments due monthly. At January 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of the notes was $0.4 million and is included in Accounts
Payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial
instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-
term borrowings approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the
following fair value hierarchy:

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

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially
the full term of the related asset or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets
or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The fair value of long-term debt is classified with Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At January 30, 2021, long-term debt
approximated the carrying amount based upon terms available to the Company for borrowings with similar arrangements and
remaining maturities. See Note D, “Debt Obligations,” for more discussion.

The fair value of the “dxl.com” domain name, an indefinite-lived intangible asset, is measured on a non-recurring basis in connection
with the Company’s annual impairment test and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. At January 30, 2021, the fair
value of the Company’s “dxl.com” domain name was determined to approximate carrying value. See Intangibles below.

Stores that have indicators of impairment and fail the recoverability test (based on undiscounted cash flows) are measured for
impairment by comparing the fair value of the assets against their carrying value. Fair value of the assets is estimated using a projected
discounted cash flow analysis and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets below.

Inventories

All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted-average cost method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the assets are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fixtures
Equipment
Leasehold improvements
Hardware and software

Intangibles

Domain Name

Five to ten years
Five to ten years
Lesser of useful lives or related lease term
Three to seven years

In fiscal 2018, the Company purchased the rights to the domain name “dxl.com.” The domain name has a carrying value of $1.2
million and is considered an indefinite-lived asset. At each reporting period, management analyzes current events and circumstances
to determine whether the indefinite life classification continues to be valid. Due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the Company’s business during fiscal 2020, the Company performed a qualitative review of the domain name at each reporting
period in fiscal 2020, and concluded at each date that it was more likely than not that the intangible asset was not impaired and
therefore no quantitative assessment was required. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the domain name was tested for potential
impairment and the Company concluded that the domain name was not impaired.

Pre-opening Costs

The Company expenses all pre-opening costs for its stores as incurred.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses in-store advertising costs as incurred. Television advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the
advertising is first aired. Direct response advertising costs, if any, are deferred and amortized over the period of expected direct
marketing revenues, which is less than one year. There were no deferred direct response costs at January 30, 2021 and February 1,
2020. Advertising expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, was $11.9 million, $22.9 million and
$24.4 million for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s accounting policies with respect to revenue recognition are discussed in Note B, “Revenue Recognition.”

Foreign Currency Translation

At January 30, 2021, the Company had two stores located in Toronto, Canada. Assets and liabilities for these stores are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Stockholders’ equity (deficit) is translated at applicable
historical exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting
translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

During fiscal 2019, the Company closed its Rochester Clothing store in London, England. In connection with exiting its operations in
England, the Company recognized a total charge of $1.7 million, which included the recognition of the associated accumulated foreign
currency translation adjustment of $0.8 million as an expense in fiscal 2019. See “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) –
(“AOCI”)” below.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassifications from AOCI for fiscal 2020,

In connection with the Company’s closing of its Rochester Clothing store in London, England and exiting its London
operations, the Company recognized the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment as an expense and it has been
included in “Exit costs associated with London operations” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2019.
Includes the amortization of the unrecognized (gain)/loss on pension plans, which was charged to “Selling, General and
Administrative” expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The amortization of the
unrecognized loss, before tax, was $682,000, $641,000 and $352,000 for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.
There was no corresponding tax benefit.

(3) Represents the reclassification to retained earnings of the tax benefit associated with comprehensive income earned, adjusted for
the effects of ASU 2018-02, which allowed for the reclassification to retained earnings of stranded tax effect as a results of the
2017 Tax Act.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize the effect of temporary differences between tax and financial statement reporting.
Such taxes are provided for using enacted tax rates expected to be in place when such temporary differences are realized. A valuation
allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the full deferred tax asset
would not be realized. If it is subsequently determined that a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, a credit to
earnings is recorded to reduce the allowance.

ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) clarifies a company’s accounting for uncertain income tax positions that are recognized
in its financial statements and also provides guidance on a company’s de-recognition of uncertain positions, financial statement
classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, and disclosure requirements. In accordance with
ASC 740, the Company will recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position would be
sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company
has not accrued or paid interest or penalties in amounts that were material to its results of operations for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and
fiscal 2018.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has
concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through fiscal 2001, with remaining fiscal years subject to income tax
examination by federal tax authorities.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by giving effect to unvested shares of restricted stock and the
exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares
outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share:

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in each year
because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price per share of common stock for the respective
periods or because the unearned compensation associated with either stock options, RSUs, restricted or deferred stock had an anti-
dilutive effect.

Excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were 720,000 shares of
unvested performance stock units. These performance-based awards will be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per share if, and when, the respective performance targets are achieved. In addition, 435,568 shares, 295,604 shares and 204,040
shares of deferred stock for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively, were excluded from basic earnings per share and
30,000 shares of unvested time-based restricted shares in fiscal 2018. Unvested shares of deferred stock and unvested restricted shares
are excluded until such shares vest.

Shares of unvested restricted stock are not considered outstanding for basic earnings per share purposes until vested, but are
considered issued and outstanding. A share of unvested restricted stock has all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s common
stock, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends, which rights are forfeited if the restricted stock
is forfeited. Outstanding shares of deferred stock are not considered issued and outstanding until the vesting date of the deferral
period.

Stock-based Compensation

ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value
on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is
determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include
estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the
estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not
complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). As required under the accounting rules, the Company reviews its valuation
assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based
awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the vesting

period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment. Actual results, and
future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense, with no tax effect, of $1.4 million, $1.9 million and $2.0 million
for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.

The total stock-based compensation cost related to time-vested awards not yet recognized as of January 30, 2021 was approximately
$2.1 million and will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of approximately 27 months.

The total grant-date fair value of awards vested was $1.5 million, $3.0 million and $2.0 million for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.

Any excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options or the release of restricted shares are recognized as a component
of income tax expense.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the
following assumptions in the table. The fair value of each non-vested share is equal to the closing price of the Company’s stock on
the date of grant. The weighted-average fair value of options granted and non-vested shares granted shown below does not include
shares or deferred stock granted to directors in lieu of compensation.

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock; the expected life represents the weighted
average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical
exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods
corresponding with the expected life of the option.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $14.8 million, $0.9 million and $4.6 million in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal
2018, respectively.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the
assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of
such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The model for
undiscounted future cash flows includes assumptions, at the individual store level, with respect to expectations for future sales and
gross margin rates as well as an estimate for occupancy costs used to estimate the fair value of the respective store’s operating lease
right-of-use asset. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount
rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds.

As a result of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business during fiscal 2020 and the continued
uncertainty, the Company reassessed the recoverability of the carrying value for its long-lived assets throughout fiscal 2020. Due to
uncertainty around the duration and extent of the pandemic’s impact on future cash flows, the Company’s projections were based on
multiple probability-weighted scenarios and assumed that consumer retail spending would remain substantially curtailed for a period
of time. For fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a total asset impairment charge of $14.8 million, which included $4.1 million for the
write-down of store assets and $10.7 million for the net write-down of operating lease right-of-use assets. Included in the write-down
of operating lease right-of-use assets of $10.7 million was a non-cash gain of $2.6 million related to the Company’s decision to close
certain retail stores, which resulted in a revaluation of the existing lease liabilities. To the extent that such gains related to previously
recorded impairment charges against the operating lease right-of-use asset, the gain was included as an offset to asset impairment
charges with the remainder of the gain included as a reduction in store occupancy costs. For fiscal 2020, the Company recognized a

non-cash gain of $3.1 million, of which $2.6 million has been included as an offset to the operating lease right-of-use asset impairment
charge.

In addition to the write-down of store assets, the asset impairment charge for fiscal 2019 included $0.7 million for the write-down of
operating lease right-of-use assets, and the impairment charge for fiscal 2018 included the write-off of the Company’s “Rochester”
trademark of $1.5 million.

Leases

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” as of
February 3, 2019 during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases
through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit.

Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets
represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to
make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based
on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments, initial direct costs and any lease incentives are included in the
value of those right-of use assets. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company
utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at the lease measurement date to determine the present value of
future payments. The Company elected the lessee non-lease component separation practical expedient, which permits the Company to
not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate. The Company also made an accounting policy
election that the recognition requirement of ASC 842 will not be applied to certain, if any, non-store leases, with a term of 12 months
or less, recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At January 30, 2021, the Company had no short-
term leases.

The Company’s store leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years each. In general,
for store leases with an initial term of 10 years or more, the options to extend are not considered reasonably certain at lease
commencement. For stores leases with an initial term of 5 years, the Company evaluates each lease independently and, only when the
Company considers it reasonably certain that it will exercise an option to extend, will the associated payment of that option be
included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Renewal options are not included in the lease term for
automobile and equipment leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement.
Renewal options were not considered for the Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution center lease, which was entered into
in 2006 and was for an initial 20-year term. At the end of the initial term, the Company will have the opportunity to extend this lease
for six additional successive periods of five years.

For store leases, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain store
leases may require additional payments based on sales volume, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area
maintenance and insurance, and are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other store leases contain one periodic fixed lease
payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the
lease payment and included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Tenant allowances are included as an offset to the right-of-
use asset and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the associated lease term.

See Note E ‘‘Leases’’ for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses
(Topic 326) — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance amends several aspects of the measurement of
credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. Topic 326 replaces the existing incurred credit loss model with an
impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model), which is based on expected losses rather than
incurred losses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December
15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value
measurements in Topic 820 by removing disclosures regarding transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, by
modifying the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and by requiring additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements,
among others. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with new disclosures adopted on a prospective
basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related
disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This standard simplifies the
accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, while also clarifying
and amending existing guidance, including interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for
fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. In
the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company elected early adoption of ASU 2019-12. The provisions related to intra period tax
allocation and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws are being adopted on a prospective basis. The effect of the adoption of
ASU 2019-12 was not material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during fiscal 2020, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on
the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

B. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company operates as a retailer of
big and tall men’s clothing, which includes stores, direct and wholesale. Revenue is recognized by the operating segment that initiates
a customer’s order. Store sales are defined as sales that originate and are fulfilled directly at the store level. Direct sales are defined
as sales that originate online, including those initiated online at the store level, on its website or on third-party marketplaces.
Wholesale sales are defined as sales made to wholesale customers pursuant to the terms of each customer’s contract with the
Company. Generally, all revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that
reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities is
excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue from the Company’s store operations is recorded upon purchase of merchandise by customers, net of an
allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

Revenue from the Company’s direct operations is recognized at the time a customer order is delivered, net of an
allowance for sales returns, which is estimated based upon historical experience.

Revenue from the Company’s wholesale operations is recognized at the time the wholesale customer takes physical
receipt of the merchandise, net of any identified discounts in accordance with each individual order. An allowance for
chargebacks will be established once the Company has sufficient historical experience. For all periods, chargebacks
were immaterial.

Unredeemed Loyalty Coupons. The Company offers a free loyalty program to its customers for which points accumulate based on the
purchase of merchandise. Over 90% of the Company’s customers participate in the loyalty program. Under ASC 606, these loyalty
points provide the customer with a material right and a distinct performance obligation with revenue deferred and recognized when the
points are redeemed. The cycle of earning and redeeming loyalty points is generally under one year in duration. The loyalty accrual,
net of breakage, was $1.0 million and $1.0 million at January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively.

Unredeemed Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and Credit Vouchers. Upon issuance of a gift card, gift certificate, or credit voucher, a
liability is established for its cash value. The liability is relieved and net sales are recorded upon redemption by the customer. Based
on historical redemption patterns, the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers
for which redemption is remote, which is referred to as "breakage". Breakage is recognized over two years in proportion to historical
redemption trends and is recorded as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gift card liability, net of breakage, was
$2.8 million and $2.7 million at January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively.

Shipping. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales for all periods presented.
Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are recorded in sales, and the related costs are recorded in cost
of goods sold including occupancy costs, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Disaggregation of Revenue

As noted above under Segment Information in Note A, the Company’s business at January 30, 2021 consists of one reportable segment,
its retail segment. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from its stores and direct businesses. The operating results
from the wholesale segment have been aggregated with this reportable segment for all periods, but the revenues are separately
reported below. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the following sales channels depict the nature, amount, timing, and
uncertainty of how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors for each of the following fiscal years:

D. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

On May 24, 2018, the Company entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, with Bank of
America, N.A., as agent, providing for a secured $140.0 million credit facility. On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Third
Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Facility, as amended (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment,
among other things, (i) extended the current advance rate of 10%, under the “first-in, last out” (FILO) term facility (the “FILO loan”),
from May 24, 2020 to December 31, 2020, at which time it stepped down to 7.5%; (ii) lowered the Loan Cap, as described below, and
eliminated the springing financial covenant, (iii) increased the Applicable Margins under the FILO and Revolving Facility (defined
below) by 150 basis points and (iv) permitted the Company to enter into promissory notes with vendors in satisfaction of outstanding
payables for existing goods, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides maximum committed borrowings of $125.0 million in revolver loans, with the ability, pursuant to an
accordion feature, to increase the Credit Facility by an additional $50.0 million upon the request of the Company and the agreement of
the lender(s) participating in the increase (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility provides for a sublimit of $20.0 million
for commercial and standby letters of credit and up to $15.0 million for swingline loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the
Revolving Facility (the “Loan Cap”) is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets. Pursuant to the Third
Amendment, the excess availability under the Credit Facility cannot be less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Revolving Loan Cap
(calculated without giving effect to the FILO (first-in, last-out) Push Down Reserve) or (ii) $10.0 million. The maturity date of the
Credit Facility is May 24, 2023. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its
assets.

To help manage its near-term liquidity in light of the uncertainty related to COVID-19 and provide financial flexibility, the Company
drew $30.0 million under its secured revolving credit facility in March 2020. At January 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding

borrowings under the Revolving Facility of $59.7 million, before unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. At January 30,
2021, outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.8 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $0.1 million. Unused
excess availability was $11.5 million at January 30, 2021. Average monthly borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility
during fiscal 2020 were $67.6 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $17.9 million. The
Company’s ability to borrow under the Revolving Facility was determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets, with
increased advance rates based on seasonality.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Revolving Facility bear interest, calculated under either the Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at
a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of
either 1.75% or 2.00%, or (b) the LIBOR rate (the Company being able to select interest periods of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3
months or 6 months) plus a varying percentage based on the Company’s excess availability, of either 2.75% or 3.00%. The Company
was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. At January 30, 2021, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 5.25%. At January
30, 2021, the Company had approximately $57.0 million of its outstanding borrowings in LIBOR-based contracts with an interest rate
of 4.00%. The LIBOR-based contracts expired on February 1, 2021. When a LIBOR-based borrowing expires, the borrowings revert
back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement.

Borrowings and repayments under the Revolving Facility for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 were as follows:

The total borrowing capacity under the FILO loan is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as a specified percentage of the
value of eligible accounts, including certain trade names, that step down over time, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible
inventory that steps down over time. The Third Amendment to the Credit Facility extended these advance rates by approximately
seven months before they begin to step down. The FILO loan can be repaid, in whole or in part, subject to certain payment conditions.
The term loan expires on May 24, 2023, if not repaid in full prior to that date. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2020, the Company
entered into a new FILO loan agreement, see Note P, Subsequent Events, for a complete discussion.

As a result of extending the advance rates under the FILO loan, the applicable margin rates for borrowings were increased by
approximately 150 basis points. Accordingly, borrowings made under the FILO loan will bear interest, calculated under either the
Federal Funds rate or the LIBOR rate, at a rate equal to the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus a carrying percentage based on
the Company’s excess availability, of either 3.75% or 4.00% until May 24, 2021 or 3.25% or 3.50% after May 24, 2021 or (b) the
LIBOR rate (the Company being able to select interest periods of 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months or 6 months) plus a varying
percentage based on the Company’s excess availability of either 4.75% or 5.00% until May 24, 2021, or 4.25% or 4.50% after May
24, 2021. At January 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of $15.0 million was in a 1-week LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate
of 6.00%. The LIBOR-based contract expired on February 1, 2021. When a LIBOR-based contract expires, the borrowings revert
back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement. Subsequent to the end
of fiscal 2020, the FILO was repaid in full on March 16, 2021 in connection with the Company’s new term loan. See Note P,
“Subsequent Events.”

The Company paid interest and fees totaling $3.8 million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

E. LEASES

The Company leases all of its store locations and its corporate headquarters, which also includes its distribution center, under
operating leases. The store leases typically have initial terms of 5 years to 10 years, with options that usually permit renewal for
additional five-year periods. The initial term of the lease for the corporate headquarters was for 20 years, with the opportunity to
extend for six additional successive periods of five years, beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company also leases certain equipment and
other assets under operating leases, typically with initial terms of 3 to 5 years. The Company is generally obligated for the cost of
property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance fees relating to its leases, which are considered variable lease costs and are
expensed as incurred.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all stores having to close temporarily, the Company held rent payments for the period of April
through June 2020. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company received concessions with the majority of its landlords in
the form of rent deferrals, abatements and, to a lesser extent, lease extensions. As a result, approximately $4.3 million of rent
payments in fiscal 2020 were deferred into fiscal 2021. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020, the Company continued to
work with its landlords to restructure lease agreements given the continued impact of the pandemic on store revenues. The Company
has restructured approximately 91 leases, which will result in savings of over $13.5 million over the remaining lease terms, including
approximately $5.2 million in fiscal 2021. ASC 842 requires the assessment of any lease modification to determine if the modification
should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied. Lease modification accounting requires the
recalculation of the ROU asset, lease liability and lease expense over the respective lease term. In April 2020, the FASB issued
guidance allowing entities to make a policy election to account for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as though
enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. The election applies to any lessor-provided lease concession related
to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or
in the obligations of the lessee. The Company has opted not to elect this practical expedient and instead account for these rent
concessions as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As of January 30, 2021, the Company’s operating leases liabilities
represent the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments updated based on concessions and lease modifications.

Lease costs related to store locations are included in cost of goods sold including occupancy costs on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations, and expenses and lease costs related to the corporate headquarters, automobile and equipment leases are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The accounting standards
require current recognition of net deferred tax assets to the extent it is more likely than not such net assets will be realized. To the
extent that the Company believes its net deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be recorded against those
assets.

At the end of fiscal 2013, the Company entered a three-year cumulative loss and based on all positive and negative evidence at
February 1, 2014, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. While the Company has
projected it will return to profitability, generate taxable income and ultimately emerge from a three-year cumulative loss, based on
operating results for fiscal 2020 and the Company’s forecast for fiscal 2021, the Company believes that a full allowance remains
appropriate at this time. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the
near term.

As of January 30, 2021, for federal income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $158.2 million, which
will expire from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2037 and net operating loss carryforwards of $43.1 million that are not subject to
expiration. For state income tax purposes, the Company has $111.3 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future
taxable income, the majority of which will expire from fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2041. Additionally, the Company has $5.9 million
of net operating loss carryforwards related to the Company’s operations in Canada, which will expire from fiscal 2025 through fiscal
2041.

The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and the realization of tax benefits in future years depends predominantly upon
having taxable income. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership
may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, which may be used in future
years.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, was signed into law. This law includes several
taxpayer favorable provisions which may impact the Company including relaxed interest expense limitations, a carryback of net
operating losses, permitted accelerated depreciation on certain store build out costs and allowance for the deferral of employer FICA
taxes. The CARES Act also included an Employee Retention Credit, which provided the Company with a $1.3 million refundable tax
credit during fiscal 2020. The refundable tax credit allowed eligible employers to receive a 50% tax credit for each employee up to
$10,000 in wages and other eligible expenses. This credit only impacted payroll taxes, which are recorded in pre-tax income, and had
no impact on the income tax provision.

In addition, it provided for the accelerated payment of any refundable alternative minimum tax credit (“AMT”). Accordingly, in fiscal
2020, the Company received $1.1 million for its refundable AMT receivable which was outstanding at February 1, 2020.

The components of the net deferred tax assets as of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets, net:

Net operating loss carryforward

The change in valuation allowance in fiscal 2019 was impacted by the adoption of ASC 842 in the tax-effected amount of $1.4
million.

As discussed in Note A, the Company’s financial statements reflect the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax positions
that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. The liability for
unrecognized tax benefits at January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020 was approximately $2.0 million and was associated with a prior
tax position related to exiting the Company’s direct business in Europe during fiscal 2013. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits
has been presented as a reduction in the reported amounts of the Company’s federal and state net operating losses carryforwards. No
penalties or interest have been accrued on this liability because the carryforwards have not yet been utilized. The reversal of this
liability would result in a tax benefit being recognized in the period in which the Company determines the liability is no longer
necessary.

For fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company made tax payments of $0.1 million in each fiscal year.

G. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At January 30, 2021, the Company was obligated under operating leases covering store and office space, automobiles and certain
equipment for future minimum rentals. See Note E, “Leases” for the schedule of future remaining lease obligations. In addition to its
lease obligations, the Company is also contractually committed pursuant to a merchandise purchase obligation to meet minimum
purchases of $10.0 million in each fiscal year through fiscal 2023.

H. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under these long-term
incentive plans were issued from the Company’s stockholder approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note I, “Stock
Compensation Plans.”

At January 30, 2021, the Company has three active LTIPs: 2018-2020 LTIP, 2019-2021 LTIP and 2020-2022 LTIP. Each participant
in the plan participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the
participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value
is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. All time-based awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP
were granted in restricted stock units (RSUs) and the time-based awards for the 2019-2021 LTIP were granted in a combination of 50%
RSUs and 50% cash. For the 2020-2022 LTIP, the time-based awards were granted in a combination of 50% stock options and 50%
cash.

Performance targets for the 2018-2020 LTIP, 2019-2021 LTIP and 2020-2022 LTIP were established and approved by the
Compensation Committee on October 24, 2018, August 7, 2019, and June 11, 2020, respectively. The performance period for each
LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved
and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2021, August 31, 2022 and August, 31, 2023, respectively. The
time-based awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP, 2019-2021 LTIP and 2020-2022 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1,
2022, April 1, 2023 and April 1, 2024, respectively.

Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation
expense associated with the 2018-2020 LTIP, 2019-2021 LTIP and 2020-2022 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $3.7 million,
$3.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based
awards, which are being expensed straight-line over 41 months, 44 months and 46 months, respectively.

The performance targets associated with the 2018-2020 LTIP were not achieved, and accordingly, there was no accrual at January 30,
2021 for the payout of performance-based compensation. At January 30, 2021, the performance targets under the 2019-2021 LTIP
were not deemed probable and, therefore, no accrual related to performance awards has been recorded. At January 30, 2021, the
Company has an accrual of $0.2 million for performance awards under the 2020-2022 LTIP.

I. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has one active stock-based compensation plan: the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The initial
share reserve under the 2016 Plan was 5,725,538 shares of our common stock. A grant of a stock option award or stock appreciation
right will reduce the outstanding reserve on a one-for-one basis, meaning one share for every share granted. A grant of a full-value
award, including, but not limited to, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock, will reduced the outstanding reserve by
a fixed ratio of 1.9 shares for every share granted. The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to increase the share reserve

by 2,800,000 shares on August 8, 2019 and by an additional 1,740,000 shares on August 12, 2020. At January 30, 2021, the Company
had 1,456,300 shares available under the 2016 Plan.

In accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan, any shares outstanding under the previous 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“2006 Plan”) at August 4, 2016 that subsequently terminate, expire or are cancelled for any reason without having been exercised or
paid are added back and become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, with stock options being added back on a one-for-one
basis and full-value awards being added back on a 1 to 1.9 basis. At January 30, 2021, there are 435,368 stock options that remain
outstanding under the 2006 Plan.

The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is authorized to make all
determinations with respect to amounts and conditions covering awards. Options are not granted at a price less than fair value on the
date of the grant. Except with respect to 5% of the shares available for awards under the 2016 Plan, no award will become exercisable
or otherwise forfeitable unless such award has been outstanding for a minimum period of one year from its date of grant.

The 253,864 shares of deferred stock, with a grant-date fair value of approximately $111,870, represent compensation to certain
directors in lieu of cash, in accordance with their irrevocable elections. The shares of deferred stock will vest at the director’s
separation of service.
The 469,088 shares of stock, with a grant-date fair value of approximately $194,994 were granted to certain directors as
compensation in lieu of cash, in accordance with their irrevocable elections. During fiscal 2020, directors were required to elect
50% of their quarterly retainer in equity. Any shares in excess of the minimum required election were issued from the Fourth
Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan”).

(3) Represents shares of performance stock units (“PSUs”), with a fair value of $1.0 million granted to Mr. Kanter. The PSUs vest
in installments when the following milestones are met: one-third of the PSUs vest when the trailing 90-day volume-weighted
average closing stock price (“VWAP”) is $4.00, one-third of the PSUs vest when the VWAP is $6.00 and one-third when the
VWAP is $8.00. All PSUs will expire on April 1, 2023 if no performance metric is achieved.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan

In January 2010, the Company established a Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan to provide a convenient method for its non-
employee directors to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at fair market value by voluntarily electing to receive shares of
common stock in lieu of cash for service as a director. The substance of this plan is now encompassed within the Company’s Fourth
Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

Through the end of fiscal 2020, non-employee directors were required to take 50% of their annual retainer, which was paid quarterly,
in equity. Any shares of common stock or deferred stock issued to a director as part of this 50% requirement were issued from the
2016 Plan. Only discretionary elections of shares of common stock were issued from the Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved the Fifth Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.
The plan was amended to, among other things, increase the number of shares available for grant under the plan by an additional
1,000,000 shares, limit the number of shares that can be issued each quarter to 250,000 shares (with any shortfall satisfied in cash),
remove the requirement for directors to take 50% of their annual retainer in equity and remove the ability for directors to select
deferred stock.

The following shares of common stock, with the respective fair value, were issued to its non-employee directors as compensation for
fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018:

Compensation Plan.

J. RELATED PARTIES

Seymour Holtzman and Jewelcor Management, Inc.

Seymour Holtzman served as a director of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) until August 12, 2020. From August 2014
through January 2019, Mr. Holtzman served as the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board and as its Chairman of the Board
from April 2000 to August 2014.

In August 2014, the Company and Mr. Holtzman entered into an Employment and Chairman Compensation Agreement (the
“Compensation Agreement”) for his services as Executive Chairman and as an employee of the Company. The Compensation
Agreement was most recently amended on August 9, 2018 to reduce his annual compensation as Executive Chairman to $176,000,
along with an annual base salary of $24,000 for his services as an employee of the Company. At that time, the Company provided
written notification to Mr. Holtzman that the Company would not be extending the term of the Compensation Agreement and, as a
result, the Compensation Agreement terminated on August 7, 2020.

K. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company accounts for its employee benefit plans in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits. ASC
Topic 715 requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s over-funded status or a
liability for a plan’s under-funded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end
of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur.

These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s accounting policy for
amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic
pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For fiscal
2021, the amortization of the unrecognized loss will be calculated based on the average remaining lifetime of all employees, as

opposed to the average remaining future service of active employees. As a result of this change in amortization, the Company expects
a decrease in net periodic pension cost in fiscal 2021 of $50,000.

Noncontributory Pension Plan

In connection with the Casual Male acquisition in May 2002, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities of the Casual Male
Noncontributory Pension Plan “Casual Male Corp. Retirement Plan”, which was previously known as the J. Baker, Inc. Qualified Plan
(the “Pension Plan”). Casual Male Corp. froze all future benefits under this plan on May 1, 1997.

Assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020 include a discount rate of 2.39%
for fiscal 2020 and 2.72% for fiscal 2019. Assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the years ended January 30,
2021, February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019 included a discount rate of 2.72% for fiscal 2020, 3.98% for fiscal 2019 and 3.68% for
fiscal 2018.

The expected long-term rate of return for plan assets was assumed to be 6.50% for both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. The expected
long-term rate of return assumption was developed considering historical and future expectations for returns for each asset class.

Assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020 included a discount rate of 2.24%
for fiscal 2020 and 2.59% for fiscal 2019. Assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the years ended January 30,
2021, February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019 included a discount rate of 2.59% for fiscal 2020, 3.87% for fiscal 2019 and 3.60% for
fiscal 2018.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has one defined contribution plan, the Destination XL Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Under the
401(k) Plan, the Company offers a qualified automatic contribution arrangement (“QACA”) with the Company matching 100% of the
first 1% of deferred compensation and 50% of the next 5% (with a maximum contribution of 3.5% of eligible compensation).
Employees who are 21 years of age or older are eligible to make deferrals after 6 months of employment and are eligible to receive a
Company match after one year of employment and 1,000 hours.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Board ratified and approved the recommendation of the Company’s management team to
suspend employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan, for the period from July 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019. Effective January 1,
2020, the 401(k) Plan resumed its QACA status, as described above. For the 2021 plan year, the Company suspended its QACA safe
harbor and, while the Company has the discretion to make an employer match for 2021, it will not be required. The Company has the
option to resume its QACA status in 2022.

The Company recognized $1.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.9 million of expense under the 401(k) Plan in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.

L. CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING

The Company incurred an aggregate charge of approximately $1.9 million during the fiscal year ending February 2, 2019 for
employee severance and one-time termination benefits, as well as other employee-related costs associated with the corporate
restructuring. Approximately $1.6 million of the $1.9 million were cash expenditures.

M. CEO SEARCH AND TRANSITION COSTS

In connection with the CEO transition, the Company incurred a total charge of approximately $2.4 million in fiscal 2018. The $2.4
million charge related to amounts payable to Mr. Levin under his Transition Agreement, CEO search costs and the acceleration of
stock-based compensation of approximately $0.5 million, related to Mr. Levin’s time-based equity awards. In fiscal 2019, the
Company incurred additional charges of approximately $0.7 million for CEO search costs, Acting CEO consulting costs, AIP
incentive accrual for Mr. Levin, housing allowance and legal fees. There were no further charges incurred in fiscal 2020.

N. EXIT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LONDON OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company closed its Rochester Clothing store located in London, England. In connection
with this store closure, the Company incurred a charge of approximately $1.7 million, which included a non-cash charge of $0.8
million related to the recognition of the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment. The remainder of the charge primarily
related to lease termination and inventory liquidation costs.

The Company’s fiscal quarters are based on a retail cycle of 13 weeks. Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, the
Company has experienced seasonal fluctuations as it relates to its operating income and net income. Traditionally, a significant portion
of the Company’s operating income and net income is generated in the fourth quarter, as a result of the holiday selling season.

P. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Registered Direct Offering – Common Stock

On February 5, 2021, the Company sold, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement and through a registered direct offering, an aggregate
of 11,111,111 shares of its common stock, for a gross purchase price of $5.0 million, before payment of offering costs. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

New Term Loan

On March 16, 2021, the Company refinanced its existing $15.0 million FILO under its Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. and
entered into a new $17.5 million first-in, last-out term loan facility (the “new FILO Loan”) with PLC Agent LLC, as FILO Agent and
certain lenders party thereto. Proceeds from the new FILO Loan were used to repay in full the Company’s existing $15.0 million
FILO loan with the balance of the proceeds to be used for working capital. In connection with this new FILO Loan, the Company also
entered into the Fourth Amendment to its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as amended,
the “Credit Facility”) to allow for the new FILO Loan.

Similar to the existing FILO loan, the borrowing base for the new FILO Loan is determined based on a percentage of eligible
inventory, receivables and intellectual property. However, the new FILO Loan will provide the Company additional borrowing
capacity. Interest rates under the new FILO Loan will be higher than the existing FILO loan by approximately 250 to 300 basis
points. The new FILO Loan will mature May 24, 2023 but may be automatically extended with any extension of the revolving facility
under the Credit Agreement, but no later than March 16, 2026 without approval from the FILO lender.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, under
the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of January 30, 2021.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 30, 2021, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and

dispositions of our assets;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition

of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with
respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2021. In making
this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on management’s assessment and the above mentioned criteria, management determined that we maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2021.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm because as a smaller
reporting company we are not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

distribution center and our stores, we innovated and improvised

to ensure our survival. But we also stayed true to our strategic

plan and continued to reposition the brand and evolve our view

of customer engagement.

We continue to build greater leadership in the DXL brand, and

market leadership in the Big + Tall men’s apparel space through

our proprietary fit. Our superior fit provides a level of comfort

and versatility that is second to none. We continue to improve

our curated and exclusive assortment. We have the greatest

stores and on our e-commerce website. We are not generalists

like some retailers who only dabble in Big + Tall. This is all we

do. We believe there is a DXL difference, and it’s him, it’s our

consumer and the centricity we have for and around him. The

DXL difference is grounded in empathy, expertise, diversity,

inclusion, and community for him and with him. This is who we

are and who we are here to serve; our Big + Tall customers.

We are also making progress on defining our total addressable

market and identifying where we can take market share. For us

it starts with mind share – how do we occupy more space in our

customer’s mind so that he thinks of DXL whenever a wardrobe

need arises? We believe the core Big + Tall market, which, from

our vantage point, starts at XXL, is worth upwards of $10.0 billion.

It could be worth as much as $20.0 billion when we include XL.

There is a meaningfully greater opportunity for us to grow market

share and we believe growth in market share is the primary

outcome that will result from our work.

We are excited and encouraged by the opportunities that await

in fiscal year 2021. The steps we took in 2020 to reduce our

promotional posture, lower our operating costs, and negotiate

lease concessions were initially intended to preserve liquidity.

As we are now on firmer financial footing, those steps taken

in 2020 are now helping to create operating leverage in 2021.

We firmly believe that 2021 will be a strong year of recovery for

DXL, and will create inflection as we continue to execute on our

digitally-driven transformational strategic plan.

Our journey through 2020 had unprecedented conditions and

obstacles that were beyond our control. This did not stop us from

pursuing our mission to help make the lives of our Big + Tall guys

a little bit better. We continue that work today and look forward to

a brighter 2021. Thank you for your interest and support in DXL.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders,
