On July 18, 2025, after markets closed, Barnes & Noble disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that its annual report for the fiscal year ended May 3, 2025 will be delayed and that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors had commenced an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and advisors.  Further, the Company disclosed that the internal investigation was initiated after “certain information regarding the recording of cost of digital sales was brought to the attention of management in July 2025.”  The Company further stated that “based on initial findings, which could change as the investigation is in its early stages, management believes that the Company may have a potential overstatement of up to $23.0 million in the aggregate to its accounts receivable balance as of its May 3, 2025 fiscal year-end” and that “the Company expects to report at least one material weakness related to the appropriate review and approval of manual journal entries. . . .”

Following this news, the price of Barnes & Noble stock declined $2.36 per share, or 21%, to close at $8.87 per share on July 21, 2025.
