Ross Stores removed its risk disclosure regarding store damage and merchandise losses from protests or demonstrations, suggesting management's assessment that this threat has diminished in materiality. The company maintained 16 unchanged risks while substantively revising four key disclosures, with notable modifications to risks covering U.S. trade and tax policy, sales volatility, inventory management, and macroeconomic/geopolitical exposure. No new risks were introduced in 2025, indicating a stable risk profile with refined emphasis on existing operational and external challenges.
