Gross profit margin fell 140 bps to 44.2%, mainly due to higher tariffs and promotional expenses.

Free cash flow year-to-date was $23 million, despite a $34 million drag from higher tariff payments.
Non-cash asset impairment charges of $326.4 million were recognized, primarily due to a sustained decline in stock price.
