Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures
This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information under “Updated 2024 Financial and Capital Allocation Outlook.” Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks described more fully in Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference, and other factors as may periodically be described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them.
In the attached presentation materials, the Company provides information regarding adjusted free cash flow, which is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow is provided in the presentation materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The Company believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with enhanced visibility into its results with respect to the impact of certain costs. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Kohls Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.(BUSINESS WIRE)May 30, 2024 Kohls Corporation (NYSE:KSS) today reported results for the first quarter ended May 4, 2024.
| Net sales decreased 5.3% and comparable sales decreased 4.4% |
| Regular price sales increased 2.4% with clearance impacting overall comp by more than 600 basis points |
| Gross margin increased 48 basis points |
| Diluted loss per share of $0.24 |
| Inventory declined 13% |
| Updates full year 2024 financial outlook |
| Committed to returning capital to shareholders through the dividend and further strengthening balance sheet through long-term debt reduction in 2024 |
Tom Kingsbury, Kohls chief executive officer, said Our first quarter results did not meet our expectations and are not reflective of the direction we are heading with our strategic initiatives. Regular price sales increased year-over-year, with early success in underpenetrated categories, positive trends in our Womens business, and continued strong growth in Sephora. However, lower clearance sales versus last year represented a more than 600 basis point drag on comparable sales. Importantly, we were able to deliver gross margin expansion, manage inventory down 13% and tightly control expenses in the quarter.
We continue to have high conviction in our strategy and believe that our key growth initiatives, including Sephora, home decor, gifting, impulse, and our upcoming partnership with Babies R Us, will contribute more meaningfully going forward. That said, we recognize we have more work to do in areas of our business. We are approaching our financial outlook for the year more conservatively given the first quarter underperformance and the ongoing uncertainty in the consumer environment, Kingsbury continued.
