SG&A expenses rose 8.7% YoY for the first six months of 2026, driven partly by 'higher corporate expenses, mainly related to technology costs.' This suggests the company is grappling with escalating IT operational costs, creating a need for cost-effective solutions or optimization of their tech stack.
Filing excerpt
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $21.0 million, or 8.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher payroll-related costs from growth in our retail workforce and higher corporate expenses, mainly related to technology costs.
