Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On December 11, 2024, Macy’s, Inc. (“Macy’s” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing Macy’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Macy’s reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The press release referred to above contains non-GAAP financial measures of changes in comparable sales on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude certain items that consist of impairment, restructuring and other benefits (costs) and settlement charges.  A section has been included at the end of the press release that contains important additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures including reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Revised Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Correction of Immaterial Errors

During the preparation of the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended November 2, 2024, the Company identified an issue related to delivery expenses, a component of cost of sales, in one of its accrual accounts. The Company consequently initiated an independent investigation. As a result of the independent investigation and forensic analysis, the Company identified that a single employee with responsibility for small package delivery expense accounting intentionally made erroneous accounting accrual entries and falsified underlying documentation to hide approximately $151 million of cumulative delivery expenses from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2024. The Company concluded that revisions should be made to its historical consolidated financial statements that were impacted by these misstatements to properly reflect delivery expense, the related accrual and tax effects. The total misstatement to delivery expense for the first half of fiscal 2024 amounted to approximately $9 million, which was adjusted in total during the third quarter of 2024.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the errors and determined that the related impact was not material to results of operations or financial position for any historical annual or interim period. Specifically, the errors identified did not impact net sales which the Company believes is a key financial metric of the users of the financial statements and do not impact trends in profitability or key financial statement operating metrics. The errors also did not impact the company’s cash management activities or vendor payments, net cash flows from operating activities or the Company’s compliance with its debt covenants. Based on this assessment and the consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors, management determined that the errors are not material to any prior period. However, the Company is presenting correction of the immaterial errors by adjusting prior period financial statements as shown in Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01.    Other Events

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the course of preparing the Company's financial statements for the interim period ended November 2, 2024, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the design of existing internal control activities involving manual journal entries over delivery expenses and certain other non-merchandise expenses, and the reconciliation of the related accrued liabilities. The Company identified that a single employee, who is no longer with the Company, intentionally made erroneous accounting entries and falsified underlying documentation, to understate delivery expenses from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2024. This material weakness resulted in errors that were revised in our consolidated financial statements as more fully detailed in Exhibit 99.2.

The material weakness was the result of deficiencies in the design of controls over delivery expense and certain other non-merchandise expenses, and the related accrued liabilities, whereby the design of the controls did not consider the potential for employee circumvention of these controls. The design of these controls included



failures to obtain, or generate and use, relevant, quality information to support the functioning of these controls, including validation of the reliability of the information.
Plan for Remediation of the Material Weakness

The Company is committed to addressing the material weakness and has begun to implement changes designed to improve its internal control over financial reporting and to remediate the material weakness, including:

Re-evaluating the risk of employee circumvention of controls, including risks surrounding the completeness of delivery expense and certain other non-merchandise expenses and the related accrued liabilities;
Re-designing process level control activities that are responsive to the risk of employee circumvention of controls.
Evaluating information supporting the functioning of control activities to ensure it reflects relevant, quality information that supports the operating effectiveness of controls around manual journal entries for delivery expense and certain other non-merchandise expenses and the reconciliation of the related accrued liabilities, including validation of the reliability of the information.
As the Company evaluates and enhances its internal control over financial reporting, it may take additional measures to modify, or add to, the remediation measures described above.
In light of the material weakness described above, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Internal Control Reports
As a result of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described above, on December 10, 2024 the Audit Committee of the Board of the Company determined, based on the recommendation of management following its consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm KPMG LLP, that management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2024, included in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024 should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, KPMG LLP’s opinion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2024 included within the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, should no longer be relied upon.

Macy’s, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

NEW YORK—December 11, 2024— Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024 that are consistent with its previously announced preliminary results, and also updated its annual guidance. These financial results and outlook reflect revisions to properly reflect previously misstated delivery expense, the related accrual and tax effects.

Third Quarter Highlights
The company confirms no material impact or restatements to previously filed financial statements following completion of delivery expense related investigation.
GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.10; Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.04 exceeded the company’s prior guidance.
Macy’s First 50 locations delivered third consecutive quarter of comparable sales growth, up 1.9%.
Bloomingdale’s reported comparable sales growth of owned and owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace of 1.0% and 3.2%, respectively.
Bluemercury reported comparable sales growth of 3.3%.
Asset sale gains of $66 million, which was ahead of the company’s prior guidance.

“Our third quarter results reflect the positive momentum we are building through our Bold New Chapter strategy,” said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “We are encouraged by the consistent sales growth in our Macy's First 50 locations and the strong performance of Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury. Quarter-to-date, comparable sales continue to trend ahead of third quarter levels across the portfolio. Looking ahead, we remain committed to achieving sustainable, profitable growth for Macy’s, Inc.”

Third Quarter Results (comparisons are to the third quarter of 2023)
Macy’s, Inc. net sales decreased 2.4% to $4.7 billion, with comparable sales down 2.4% on an owned basis and down 1.3% on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis. Sales growth at Macy’s First 50 locations, Bloomingdale’s, and Bluemercury was offset primarily by weakness in Macy’s non-First 50 locations as well as its digital channel and cold weather categories.

Macy’s, Inc. go-forward business1 comparable sales were down 2.0% on an owned basis and down 0.9% on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis. By nameplate:
Macy’s net sales were down 3.1%, with comparable sales down 3.0% on an owned basis and down 2.2% on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis. Fragrances, dresses and men’s and women’s active apparel were strong. Macy’s go-forward business1 comparable sales were down 2.6% on an owned basis and down 1.8% on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis.
First 50 locations comparable sales were up 1.9% on both an owned basis and on an owned-plus-licensed basis as investments in staffing, merchandising, visual presentation and eventing continued to resonate with the customer.
Bloomingdale’s net sales were up 1.4%, with comparable sales up 1.0% on an owned basis and up 3.2% on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis. Key drivers included strength in contemporary apparel, beauty and digital.
1


Bluemercury net sales were up 3.2% and comparable sales were up 3.3% on an owned basis, representing the fifteenth consecutive quarter of comparable sales growth. Customers continued to respond well to the breadth of skincare offerings.
Other revenue of $161 million decreased $17 million, or 9.6%. Within Other revenue:
Credit card revenues, net decreased $22 million, or 15.5%, to $120 million. Net credit losses contributed to the year-over-year decline and were in-line with the company’s expectations.
Macy’s Media Network revenue, net rose $5 million, or 13.9%, to $41 million, reflecting higher advertiser and campaign counts.
Gross margin rate2, 3 of 39.6% decreased 60 basis points. Merchandise margin declined 70 basis points due to product mix and the conversion to cost accounting. The decline in merchandise margin was partially offset by efficiencies in the company’s fulfillment network and lower shipped sales volume.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2.1 billion increased $24 million. SG&A expense growth reflected strategic customer-facing investments, partially offset by continued cost controls. As a percent of total revenue, SG&A expense increased 160 basis points to 42.1% due to lower total revenue.

Asset sale gains of $66 million were $61 million higher than the same period last year due to the monetization of non-go-forward assets, as part of the company’s Bold New Chapter strategy. Asset sale gains reflect the pull-forward of the monetization of certain non-go-forward assets into the third quarter from the fourth quarter.
GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.10 and Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.04, compared to GAAP diluted EPS of $0.15 and Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.21 in the third quarter of 2023.3
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Merchandise inventories2 increased 3.9% year-over-year. The conversion to cost accounting was estimated to account for approximately half of the increase from the prior year. The company believes its merchandise inventories reflect the appropriate level of newness.
The company ended the third quarter of 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $315 million and $2.8 billion of available borrowing capacity under its asset-based credit facility reflecting current borrowings and letters of credit.

As of the end of third quarter of 2024, total debt of $2.9 billion included $86 million of short-term borrowings under the company’s asset-based credit facility and no material long-term debt maturities until 2027. The company voluntarily retired $220 million of debt during the quarter through a previously disclosed tender offer.

1: Inclusive of go-forward locations and digital. For Macy’s, Inc. this reflects go-forward locations and digital across all three nameplates.
2: Inventories and Gross Margin are not directly comparable to the prior year given the conversion to cost accounting at the beginning of fiscal 2024.
3. To properly reflect delivery expense, third quarter of 2024 gross margin includes a $13 million adjustment (of which $9 million relates to the first half of 2024), or approximately 30 bps, and third quarter of 2024 adjusted diluted EPS includes a $0.04 adjustment. Third quarter of 2023 gross margin has been revised by $3 million, or approximately 10 bps. There is no change to third quarter of 2023 diluted EPS or adjusted diluted EPS.

Other Corporate Developments
As previously disclosed, during the preparation of the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended November 2, 2024, the company identified an issue related to delivery expenses in one of its accrual accounts. The company consequently initiated an independent investigation which has now been completed and, following its analysis, determined that there was no material impact to financial results for any historical annual or interim period.

As a result of the independent investigation and forensic analysis, the company identified that a single employee with responsibility for small package delivery expense accounting intentionally made erroneous accounting accrual entries to hide approximately $151 million of cumulative delivery expenses from the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2024. As previously communicated, the investigation determined that this matter had no impact on the company’s reported net cash flows, inventories or vendor payments.

The company is revising its historical consolidated financial statements that were impacted by the misstatements to properly reflect delivery expense, the related accrual and tax effects. The total misstatement to delivery expense for the first half of fiscal 2024 amounted to $9 million, which was adjusted in total during the third quarter of 2024. Additional details and revised financial information for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023, and quarterly periods for fiscal year 2023 can be found in the company’s Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The company expects to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November 2, 2024 with the SEC tomorrow, December 12, 2024.

“We’ve concluded our investigation and are strengthening our existing controls and implementing additional changes designed to prevent this from happening again and demonstrate our strong commitment to corporate governance,” said Spring. “Our focus is on ensuring that ethical conduct and integrity are upheld across the entire organization.”

Gross margin as a percent of net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS guidance as of December 11, 2024 includes the impact from the aforementioned $13 million adjustment to delivery expense in the third quarter of 2024 as well as an updated estimated delivery expense impact of $66 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, for a full year estimated impact of $79 million. These impacts were not included in the company’s previously provided guidance. Additionally, for comparison purposes, the company has presented guidance as of August 21, 2024 both as provided and adjusted for the third and fourth quarter of 2024 delivery expense impacts.

Adjusted diluted EPS excludes any potential impact from the credit card late fee ruling, which was stayed on May 10, 2024. Additionally, the impact of any potential future share repurchases associated with the company’s current share repurchase authorization is also excluded.

The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of comparable owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales change, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Notes:
(1)As a result of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the fiscal year.
(2)Other Revenue is inclusive of the following amounts. All amounts in millions except percentages.

(3)The income tax expense of $7 million and $87 million, or 20.0% and 26.6% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 and income tax expense of $2 million and $50 million, or 4.7% and 22.4% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, respectively, reflect a different effective tax rate as compared to the Company’s federal income tax statutory rate of 21%. The income tax effective rates for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 were impacted primarily due to the recognition of return-to-provision adjustments associated with the filings of the Company’s 2023 and 2022 U.S. Federal income tax returns during each respective period, as well as the effect of state and local taxes.
(4)Gross margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales.
(5)Gross margin and merchandise inventories are not directly comparable to the prior year given the conversion to cost accounting beginning in fiscal 2024.
(6)Restricted cash of $3 million has been included with cash and cash equivalents as of November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023.

MACY’S, INC.
Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management believes that providing supplemental changes in comparable sales on an owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace basis, which includes adjusting for the impact of comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties and marketplace sales, assists in evaluating the company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses, departments licensed to third parties or marketplace sales, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure which the company believes provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share that are not associated with the company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the company's ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.
The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of comparable owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales change, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the company's actual and future financial condition and performance. Additionally, the amounts received by the company on account of sales of departments licensed to third parties and marketplace sales are limited to commissions received on such sales. The methods used by the company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Notes:
(7)Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation for one full fiscal year for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023. Such calculation includes all digital sales and excludes commissions from departments licensed to third parties and marketplace. Stores impacted by a natural disaster or undergoing significant expansion or shrinkage remain in the comparable sales calculation unless the store, or material portion of the store, is closed for a significant period of time. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales may differ among companies in the retail industry.
(8)Represents the impact of including the sales of departments licensed to third parties occurring in stores in operation throughout the year presented and the immediately preceding year and all online sales, including marketplace sales, in the calculation of comparable sales. Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s license third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receive commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales, while Bluemercury does not participate in licensed or marketplace businesses. In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the company includes these commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties and marketplace) in its net sales. The company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of licensed department or marketplace sales (or any commissions earned on such sales) in its comparable sales in accordance with GAAP (i.e., on an owned basis). The amounts of commissions earned on sales of departments licensed to third parties and from the digital marketplace are not material to its net sales for the periods presented.

Exhibit 99.2
This exhibit shows revisions of the Company’s historical Consolidated Statements of Operations and related non-GAAP financial measures, and the Consolidated Balance Sheets to correct for immaterial errors identified during the quarter ended November 2, 2024. The revisions here include the following:
Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, and quarter-to-date periods within fiscal 2023, as well as revised non-GAAP financial measures, and
Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal years ended 2021, 2022 and 2023.

As a result of the correction of the immaterial errors, there were no changes in total operating, investing and financing cash flows for any of the historical periods impacted by the immaterial errors.

Macy’s reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The statements below include non-GAAP financial measures of changes in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude certain items that consist of impairment, restructuring and other benefits (costs), losses on early retirement of debt, and settlement charges (collectively, the “Adjustments”). The most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income is GAAP net income, and the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted diluted earnings per share is diluted earnings per share.
