VICTORIA'S SECRET & CO.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Victoria’s Secret & Co. (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a specialty retailer of women's intimate and other apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me brand names. The Company has approximately 890 stores in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and China as well as its own websites, www.VictoriasSecret.com, www.PINK.com and www.AdoreMe.com, and other digital channels worldwide. Additionally, the Company has more than 490 stores in nearly 70 countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements. The Company also includes the merchandise sourcing and production function serving the Company and its international partners. The Company operates as a single segment designed to serve customers worldwide seamlessly through stores and digital channels.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company made certain executive leadership changes, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and the elimination of two executive officer roles to streamline its executive leadership team. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company implemented restructuring actions to reorganize and improve its organizational structure. For additional information, see Note 4, “Restructuring Activities.”
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “third quarter of 2024” and “third quarter of 2023” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. “Year-to-date 2024” and “year-to-date 2023” refer to the thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively, and “fiscal year 2024” and “fiscal year 2023” refer to the fifty-two-week period ending February 1, 2025 and the fifty-three-week period ended February 3, 2024, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Interim Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
Seasonality of Business
Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the thirteen-week and thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending February 1, 2025.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.
The carrying values of equity method investments were $61 million as of November 2, 2024, $60 million as of February 3, 2024 and $56 million as of October 28, 2023. These investments are recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
8

Noncontrolling Interest
The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits.
The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.
Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has agreements with designated third-party financial institutions to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates and receive a discounted payment from participating financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. All amounts payable to financial institutions relating to suppliers participating in these programs are recorded in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $176 million as of November 2, 2024, $183 million as of February 3, 2024 and $154 million as of October 28, 2023.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the third quarter of 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
9

Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
2. Acquisition
On December 30, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of AdoreMe, Inc. (“Adore Me”). Under the terms of the definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the acquisition (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company made an upfront cash payment of $391 million at closing and agreed to pay further cash consideration in an aggregate amount of at least $80 million, consisting of a fixed payment to be made on or prior to January 15, 2025, and up to $300 million based on the performance of Adore Me and achievement of specified strategic objectives and certain EBITDA and net revenue goals within the two-year period following closing of the transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, up to $60 million of the further cash consideration is subject to the continued employment of a certain Adore Me employee (“Contingent Compensation Payments”). These Contingent Compensation Payments are not included as consideration when applying the acquisition method of accounting and are recognized as compensation expense within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss if and when earned in future periods.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made payments of $20 million for the achievement of a specified strategic objective under the terms of the Merger Agreement, comprised of $16 million for contingent consideration classified as financing cash outflows and $4 million of Contingent Compensation Payments classified as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of purchase accounting items, including recognition of changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, in the third quarter and year-to-date 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of additional acquisition-related costs and recognition in gross profit of the fair value adjustment to acquired inventories that were sold in the respective period.
The following table provides a summary by line item in the Consolidated Statements of Loss of the financial impact of purchase accounting items and additional acquisition-related costs for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023:

Deferred revenue was $288 million as of November 2, 2024, $310 million as of February 3, 2024 and $283 million as of October 28, 2023.

A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the credit card accounts and underwrites the credit issued under the credit card programs. Revenue earned in connection with the Company's credit card arrangements with the third-party is primarily recognized based on credit card sales and usage.

4. Restructuring Activities
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company made certain executive leadership appointments and changes to streamline its executive leadership team. On August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Hillary Super as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and as a member of the Board, effective as of September 9, 2024, and terminated Martin Waters as CEO, effective as of August 13, 2024. Mr. Waters’ exit from the Company constituted a termination without cause under his employment agreement, entitling him to receive certain severance benefits provided under his employment agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement.
Effective as of September 3, 2024, the Company eliminated the executive officer roles of Brand President, which was held by Greg Unis, and Chief Customer Officer, which was held by Christine Rupp. Mr. Unis’s and Ms. Rupp’s departures from the Company both constituted a termination without cause under their respective employment agreements, entitling them to each receive the severance benefits provided under their respective severance agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements.
As a result of these executive leadership changes, pre-tax severance and related costs of $13 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2024 and are included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2024 Consolidated Statements of Loss. As of November 2, 2024, there were $13 million of liabilities related to these executive leadership changes included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
11

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company implemented restructuring actions to reorganize and improve its organizational structure. As a result, pre-tax severance and related costs of $11 million, of which $8 million are included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses and $3 million are included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy, are included in the Year-to-Date 2023 Consolidated Statement of Loss. As of November 2, 2024, there were less than $1 million of liabilities related to the restructuring actions implemented in the first quarter of 2023 included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Shareholders' Equity
Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per diluted share include the weighted-average effect of dilutive restricted stock units, performance share units and options (collectively, “Dilutive Awards”) on the weighted-average shares outstanding.
The following table provides the weighted-average shares utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023:

Shareholders' Equity
Common Stock Share Repurchases & Treasury Stock Retirements
March 2024 Share Repurchase Program
In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (“March 2024 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock, subject to market conditions and other factors, through open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The March 2024 Share Repurchase Program is open-ended in term and will continue until exhausted.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the third quarter or year-to-date 2024. As of November 2, 2024, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of the Company's common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
January 2023 Share Repurchase Program
In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (“January 2023 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock. The authorization, which expired at the end of fiscal year 2023, was utilized in fiscal year 2023 to repurchase shares in the open market and under the accelerated share repurchase agreement described below.
In February 2023, as part of the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase $125 million of the Company's common stock. In February 2023, the Company made an initial payment of $125 million to Goldman Sachs and received an initial delivery of 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the initial share delivery, there was an additional $1 million increase in Treasury Stock, which reflected the excise tax liability recorded related to the share repurchase in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
12

In May 2023, upon final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Company received an additional 1.3 million shares of the Company's common stock from Goldman Sachs. The final number of shares received was based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement.
The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2023:
Amount AuthorizedShares RepurchasedAmount RepurchasedAverage Stock Price
(in millions)(in thousands)(in millions)
January 2023 Share Repurchase Program$250 3,652 $125 $34.22 
Shares repurchased under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program were retired upon repurchase. As a result, the Company retired the 3.7 million shares repurchased in connection with the settlement of the ASR Agreement year-to-date 2023. The retirement resulted in a reduction of $126 million in Treasury Stock, less than $1 million in the par value of Common Stock, $9 million in Paid-in Capital and $117 million in Retained Earnings year-to-date 2023.
6. Inventories

9. Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events.
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% compared to 24.1% in the third quarter of 2023. Both rates differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at a lower rate than the Company’s combined federal and state statutory rate.
For year-to-date 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was (7.8%) compared to 20.6% for year-to-date 2023. The year-to-date 2024 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to additional tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards. The year-to-date 2023 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible liabilities related to contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments under the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The Company paid income taxes in the amount of $8 million and $6 million for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $45 million and $65 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash paid for interest was $49 million and $54 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Credit Facilities
The Company has a senior secured term loan B credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. The Company made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 and $3 million during both year-to-date 2024 and 2023.
Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR loans, ranging from 3.36% to 3.68% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 2.25%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of November 2, 2024, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 8.46%.
The Company also has a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million and an expiration date of August 2026. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million. Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to (i) Term SOFR or an alternative base rate and (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Canadian dollars, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) or a Canadian base rate, plus an interest rate margin based on average daily excess availability ranging from (x) in the case of CDOR loans, 1.50% to 2.00%, (y) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans, 0.50% to 1.00%, and (z) in the case of Term SOFR loans, 1.60% to 2.10%. Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.
The Company borrowed $460 million and $405 million from the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively, and made repayments of $165 million and $145 million under the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 2, 2024, there were borrowings of $440 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 6.59%. The Company had $19 million of outstanding letters of credit as of November 2, 2024 that further reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $291 million.
15

The Company's long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of November 2, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its long-term debt and borrowing facilities.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding debt as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023:

(a)The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly traded debt is based on reported transaction prices which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
Management believes that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity. Management further believes the principal value of the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility approximates its fair value as of November 2, 2024 based on the terms of the borrowings under the ABL Facility.

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1. Financial Statements.
Executive Overview
Victoria’s Secret is an iconic global brand of women’s intimate and other apparel, personal care and beauty products. We sell our products through three brands: Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me. Victoria’s Secret is a market leading global lingerie brand with a history of serving women across the globe. PINK is a fashion and lifestyle brand for young women built around a strong intimates core. We also sell beauty products under both the Victoria’s Secret and PINK brands. Adore Me is a technology-led, digital first innovative intimates brand serving women of all sizes and budgets at all phases of life. Together, Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me strive to provide the best products to help women express their confidence, sexiness and power and use our platform to create connection and community while celebrating the extraordinary diversity of women's experiences.
Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me merchandise is sold online through e-commerce platforms, through retail stores located in the U.S., Canada and China, and through international stores and websites operated by partners under franchise, license, wholesale and joint venture arrangements. We have a presence in nearly 70 countries and we believe we benefit from global brand awareness, a wide and compelling product assortment and a powerful, deep connection with our customers.
In the third quarter of 2024, our net sales increased $82 million, or 7%, to $1.347 billion compared to $1.265 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and comparable sales increased 3% in the third quarter of 2024. Our North American store sales increased by 2%, or $15 million, to $738 million compared to $723 million in the third quarter of 2023, as an increase in traffic was partially offset by decreases in conversion (which we define as the percentage of customers who visit our stores and make a purchase) and average unit retail (which we define as the average price per unit purchased) compared to the third quarter of 2023. Our direct channel sales increased by 7%, or $29 million, to $411 million compared to $382 million in the third quarter of 2023, as an increase in traffic was partially offset by a decrease in average unit retail compared to the third quarter of 2023. Our operating loss improved $20 million, to $47 million, compared to an operating loss of $67 million in the third quarter of 2023, and our operating loss rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) was (3.5%) compared to (5.3%) in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating loss in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the increase in net sales and reductions in costs related to our supply chain initiative, partially offset by the increase in promotional activity and general, administrative and store operating expenses.
We continue to focus on our strategic priorities: 1) Accelerate Our Core; 2) Ignite Growth; and 3) Transform the Foundation. We are committed to optimizing our performance by focusing on what is within our control, and we are confident in our strategic direction and remain committed to delivering long-term sustainable value for our stockholders.
For additional information related to our third quarter of 2024 financial performance, see “Results of Operations.”
Financial Impacts of the Adore Me Acquisition
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023, we recognized the financial impact of purchase accounting items, including recognition of changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, in both the third quarter and year-to-date 2023, we recognized the financial impact of additional acquisition-related costs and recognition in gross profit of the fair value adjustment to acquired inventories that were sold in the respective period. For additional information, see Note 2, “Acquisition.”
19

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP above and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provided below are non-GAAP financial measures that present operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. and net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to Victoria's Secret & Co. on an adjusted basis, which remove certain non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items that we believe are not indicative of the results of our ongoing operations due to their size and nature. The intangible asset amortization excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is excluded because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures of our results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure.

_______________
(a)The percentage change in comparable sales represents direct and comparable store sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more. Upon re-opening, the stores are included in the calculation. Additionally, stores are excluded if total selling square footage in the mall changes by 20% or more through the opening or closing of a second store. The percentage change in comparable sales is calculated on a comparable calendar period as opposed to a fiscal basis. Comparable sales attributable to our international stores are calculated on a constant currency basis.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2024 increased $82 million, or 7%, to $1.347 billion compared to $1.265 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
In the stores channel, our North America net sales increased $15 million, or 2%, to $738 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 as an increase in traffic was partially offset by decreases in conversion and average unit retail.
In the direct channel, net sales increased $29 million, or 7%, to $411 million, as an increase in traffic was partially offset by a decrease in average unit retail compared to the third quarter of 2023.
In the international channel, net sales increased $38 million, or 24%, to $198 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. Increases in net sales in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 were driven by increases in sourcing sales to our partners, net sales in China and royalties earned associated with franchise sales in many countries outside of North America.
Gross Profit
For the third quarter of 2024, our gross profit increased by $41 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 to $468 million, and our gross profit rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 34.8% from 33.8%.
The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the increase in merchandise margin dollars driven by the increase in net sales and reductions in costs of goods sold related to our supply chain initiative, partially offset by the increase in promotional activity and an increase in transportation costs. Additionally, the increase in gross profit dollars compared to the third quarter of 2023 was driven by the recognition in gross profit of $7 million in the third quarter of 2023 related to the fair value step-up adjustment on the acquired inventory from Adore Me.
The gross profit rate increase was driven by reductions in costs of goods sold related to our supply chain initiative and the expense recorded in the third quarter of 2023 as noted above, partially offset by increased promotional activity and increased transportation costs. Additionally, the gross profit rate increase was due to leverage in buying and occupancy expenses in the quarter as a result of the increase in net sales compared to the third quarter of 2023.

General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses
For the third quarter of 2024, our general, administrative and store operating expenses increased $21 million, or 4%, to $515 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in general, administrative and store operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2023 was due to a restructuring charge of $13 million in the third quarter of 2024 and increases in wage rates, charges related to Adore Me purchase accounting items and certain other administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses.
The general, administrative and store operating expense rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) decreased to 38.2% from 39.1% primarily due to leverage as a result of the increase in net sales compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Interest Expense
For the third quarter of 2024, our interest expense decreased $4 million to $22 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to our lower average outstanding debt and lower average borrowing rates for our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% compared to 24.1% in the third quarter of 2023. Both rates differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at a lower rate than the Company’s combined federal and state statutory rate.

________
(a)The percentage change in comparable sales represents direct and comparable store sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more. Upon re-opening, the stores are included in the calculation. Additionally, stores are excluded if total selling square footage in the mall changes by 20% or more through the opening or closing of a second store. The percentage change in comparable sales is calculated on a comparable calendar period as opposed to a fiscal basis. Comparable sales attributable to our international stores are calculated on a constant currency basis.
Net sales year-to-date 2024 increased $25 million, or 1%, to $4.124 billion compared to $4.099 billion year-to-date 2023.
In the stores channel, our North America net sales decreased $59 million, or 3%, to $2.267 billion, compared to year-to-date 2023 as an increase in traffic was more than offset by decreases in conversion and average unit retail.
In the direct channel, net sales increased $9 million, or 1%, to $1.290 billion, as an increase in traffic was partially offset by decreases in conversion and average unit retail compared to year-to-date 2023.
In the international channel, net sales increased $75 million, or 15%, to $567 million compared to year-to-date 2023. Increases in net sales year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023 were driven by increases in sourcing sales to our partners, net sales in China, royalties earned associated with franchise sales in many countries outside of North America and our wholesale arrangements.
Gross Profit
For year-to-date 2024, our gross profit increased $55 million to $1.471 billion, and our gross profit rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 35.7% from 34.6%.
The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the increase in net sales, reductions in costs of goods sold related to our supply chain initiative and a decrease in buying and occupancy expenses, partially offset by an increase in promotional activity. Additionally, the increase in gross profit dollars compared to year-to-date 2023 was driven by the recognition in gross profit of $22 million year-to-date 2023 related to the fair value step-up adjustment on the acquired inventory from Adore Me.
The gross profit rate increase was primarily driven by reductions in costs of goods sold related to our supply chain initiative and the expense recorded year-to-date 2023 as noted above, partially offset by increased promotional activity. Additionally, the gross profit rate increase was due to leverage in buying and occupancy expenses as a result of the increase in net sales and a decrease in buying and occupancy expenses compared to year-to-date 2023.
General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses
For year-to-date 2024, our general, administrative and store operating expenses remained flat at $1.429 billion as a decrease in marketing expenses and charges related to Adore Me purchase accounting items were offset by an increase in wage rates, an increase in certain other administrative expenses and an increase in the restructuring charges year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023.
The general, administrative and store operating expense rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) decreased slightly to 34.7% from 34.9% due to leverage as a result of the increase in sales compared to year-to-date 2023.
Interest Expense
For year-to-date 2024, our interest expense decreased $6 million to $66 million compared to year-to-date 2023 primarily due to our lower average outstanding debt, partially offset by higher average borrowing rates for our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility.
25

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
For year-to-date 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was (7.8%) compared to 20.6% year-to-date 2023. The year-to-date 2024 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to additional tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards. The year-to-date 2023 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible liabilities related to contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments under the terms of the Merger Agreement.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. We are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. Cash generated from our operating activities provides the primary resources to support current operations, growth initiatives, seasonal funding requirements and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities is impacted by our net income (loss) and working capital changes. Our net income (loss) is impacted by, among other things, sales volume, seasonal sales patterns, success of new product introductions, profit margins and income taxes. Historically, sales are higher during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Generally, our need for working capital peaks during the summer and fall months as inventory builds in anticipation of the holiday period.
Our ability to fund our operating needs is primarily dependent upon our ability to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations, as well as borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, which we rely on to supplement cash generated by our operating activities, particularly when our need for working capital peaks in the summer and fall months as discussed above. Management believes that our cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, along with the borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of our current and long-term obligations when due, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures, and (iii) flexibility to consider investment opportunities that may arise. However, certain investment opportunities or seasonal funding requirements may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future.
We expect to utilize our cash flows to continue to invest in our brands, talent, capabilities, and strategic initiatives as well as to repay our indebtedness over time. We believe that our available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash flow requirements over the next 12 months.
Working Capital and Capitalization
Based upon our cash balances and cash provided by our operating activities, along with the borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, we believe we will be able to continue to meet our working capital needs.

(b)For the reporting period ended November 2, 2024, the availability under the ABL Facility was limited to the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, less outstanding borrowings of $440 million and letters of credit of $19 million. For the reporting period ended February 3, 2024, the availability was limited by our borrowing base of $587 million, less outstanding borrowings of $145 million and letters of credit of $19 million. For the reporting period ended October 28, 2023, the availability under the ABL Facility was limited to the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, less outstanding borrowings of $555 million and letters of credit of $19 million.

Effects of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents(2)
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents(109)(303)
Cash and Cash Equivalents, End of Period$161 $124 
Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, gain on sale of assets and deferred tax expense, as well as changes in working capital. Net cash used for operating activities year-to-date 2024 was $249 million, an increase in net cash flows used for operating activities of $49 million compared to year-to-date 2023. The increase in net cash flows used for operating activities in year-to-date 2024 was primarily driven by higher net operating cash outflows associated with working capital changes of $38 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of $24 million and the $22 million amortization of the fair value adjustment on the acquired inventory from Adore Me year-to-date 2023, partially offset by a decrease in net loss of $43 million compared to year-to-date 2023. The most significant working capital driver resulting in the increase in net operating cash outflows year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023 is related to the higher seasonal increase in inventory levels driven by the earlier receipt of holiday shipments compared to year-to-date 2023. The increase in net operating cash outflows year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023 is partially offset by the payment of the occupancy-related legal matter year-to-date 2023 and income taxes paid of $45 million year-to-date 2024 compared to $65 million paid year-to-date 2023.
27

Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities year-to-date 2024 was $133 million, consisting primarily of $150 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $16 million of proceeds on the sale of certain non-store corporate-related assets. The capital expenditures were primarily related to our store capital program and investments in technology related to our strategic initiatives to drive growth.
Net cash used for investing activities year-to-date 2023 was $223 million, consisting primarily of capital expenditures of $224 million. The capital expenditures were primarily related to our store capital program and investments in technology related to our strategic initiatives to drive growth and technology investments relating to separation activities from Bath & Body Works, Inc.
We are estimating capital expenditures to be approximately $190 million for fiscal year 2024. We expect that our capital expenditures will continue to be focused on our store capital program along with investments in technology related to our strategic initiatives to drive growth.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities year-to-date 2024 was $272 million, consisting primarily of borrowings of $460 million under the ABL Facility, partially offset by $165 million of repayments under the ABL Facility and a $16 million payment for contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Adore Me.
Net cash provided by financing activities year-to-date 2023 was $122 million, consisting primarily of borrowings of $405 million under the ABL Facility, partially offset by $145 million of repayments under the ABL Facility and $125 million of share repurchases.
Common Stock Share Repurchases & Treasury Stock Retirements
Our Board of Directors determines share repurchase authorizations, giving consideration to our levels of profit and cash flows, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, and restrictions placed upon us by our borrowing arrangements, as well as financial and other conditions existing at the time. We use cash flows generated from operating activities to fund any share repurchases. Once authorized by our Board of Directors, the timing and amount of any share repurchases are made at our discretion, taking into account a number of factors, including market conditions.
March 2024 Share Repurchase Program
In March 2024, our Board of Directors approved the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock, subject to market conditions and other factors, through open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The March 2024 Share Repurchase Program is open-ended in term and will continue until exhausted.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the third quarter or year-to-date 2024. As of November 2, 2024, we were authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of our common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
January 2023 Share Repurchase Program
In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock. The authorization, which expired at the end of fiscal year 2023, was utilized in fiscal year 2023 to repurchase shares in the open market and under the accelerated share repurchase agreement described below.
In February 2023, as part of the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program, we entered into the ASR Agreement with Goldman Sachs to repurchase $125 million of our common stock. In February 2023, we made an initial payment of $125 million to Goldman Sachs and received an initial delivery of 2.4 million shares of our common stock. As a result of the initial share delivery, there was an additional $1 million increase in Treasury Stock, which reflected the excise tax liability recorded related to the share repurchase in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
In May 2023, upon final settlement of the ASR Agreement, we received an additional 1.3 million shares of our common stock from Goldman Sachs. The final number of shares received was based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement.

We repurchased the following shares of our common stock under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2023:
Amount AuthorizedShares RepurchasedAmount RepurchasedAverage Stock Price
(in millions)(in thousands)(in millions)
January 2023 Share Repurchase Program$250 3,652 $125 $34.22 
Shares repurchased under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program were retired upon repurchase. As a result, we retired the 3.7 million shares repurchased in connection with the settlement of the ASR Agreement year-to-date 2023. The retirement resulted in a reduction of $126 million in Treasury Stock, less than $1 million in the par value of Common Stock, $9 million in Paid-in Capital and $117 million in Retained Earnings year-to-date 2023.
Dividend Policy and Procedures
We have not paid any cash dividends since becoming an independent, publicly traded company. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if and when we commence paying dividends. The declaration and amount of any dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with our debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. We would use cash flow generated from operating and financing activities to fund our dividends.

Cash paid for interest was $49 million and $54 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Credit Facilities
We have a senior secured term loan B credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. We are required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. We made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 and $3 million during both year-to-date 2024 and 2023.
Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to Term SOFR or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR loans, ranging from 3.36% to 3.68% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 2.25%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of ours and our subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of November 2, 2024, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 8.46%.
29

We also have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million and an expiration date of August 2026. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on our eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million. Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to (i) Term SOFR or an alternative base rate and (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Canadian dollars, CDOR or a Canadian base rate, plus an interest rate margin based on average daily excess availability ranging from (x) in the case of CDOR loans, 1.50% to 2.00%, (y) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans, 0.50% to 1.00%, and (z) in the case of Term SOFR loans, 1.60% to 2.10%. Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by our eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of ours, subject to customary exceptions.
We borrowed $460 million and $405 million from the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively, and made repayments of $165 million and $145 million under the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 2, 2024, there were borrowings of $440 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 6.59%. We had $19 million of outstanding letters of credit as of November 2, 2024 that further reduced our availability under the ABL Facility. As of November 2, 2024, our remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $291 million.
Due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns, borrowings under the ABL Facility typically peak in the third quarter as inventory builds in anticipation of the holiday period. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2024 and as of December 9, 2024, borrowings of $130 million remained outstanding under the ABL Facility and are expected to continue to decrease through the fourth quarter.
Our long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to EBITDAR ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of November 2, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under our long-term debt and borrowing facilities.

Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and the related interest payments, operating leases, purchase orders for merchandise inventory, deferred cash consideration related to the acquisition of Adore Me and other long-term obligations. These contractual obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Except with respect to the additional $295 million of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility as of November 2, 2024, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since February 3, 2024, as discussed in “Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024. Certain of our contractual obligations may fluctuate during the normal course of business (primarily changes in our merchandise inventory-related purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our operations).
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the third quarter of 2024 that had a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
30

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, claims and contingencies, income taxes and revenue recognition. Management bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024.
Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. We may use derivative financial instruments like foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swap arrangements to manage exposure to market risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
We have operations and investments in unconsolidated entities in foreign countries which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our Canadian dollar and Chinese Yuan denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all our merchandise sold in Canada and China is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. From time to time we may adjust our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts, however, these measures may not succeed in offsetting all the short-term impact of foreign currency rate movements and generally may not be effective in offsetting the long-term impact of sustained shifts in foreign currency rates.
31

Further, although our royalty arrangements with our international partners are denominated in U.S. dollars, the royalties we receive in U.S. dollars are calculated based on sales in the local currency. As a result, our royalties in these arrangements are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our investment portfolio primarily consists of interest-bearing instruments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents based on their original maturities. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy, which specifies permitted types of investments, credit quality standards and maturity profiles and limits credit exposure to any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal, the maintenance of liquidity and the maximization of interest income while minimizing risk. As of November 2, 2024, our investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits. Given the short-term nature and quality of investments in our portfolio, we do not believe there is any material risk to principal associated with increases or decreases in interest rates.
Our outstanding long-term debt as of November 2, 2024 consists of the 2029 Notes, which have a fixed interest rate, the $388 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, which has a variable interest rate based on Term SOFR, and the $440 million in outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, which has a variable interest rate based on Term SOFR. Our exposure to interest rate changes is limited to the fair value of the debt outstanding as well as the interest we pay on the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, which we believe would not have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of our outstanding debt as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023:
November 2,
2024

October 28,

(in millions)
Principal Value$988 $991 $992 
Fair Value, Estimated (a)916 897 830 
________________
(a)The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt is based on reported transaction prices which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.
As of November 2, 2024, we believe that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity. We further believe the principal value of the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility approximates its fair value as of November 2, 2024 based on the terms of the borrowings under the ABL Facility.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. We monitor the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom we transact and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of November 2, 2024, our investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits. We also periodically review the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business.
Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in a variety of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against us from time to time may include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, our current legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS

The risk factors that affect our business and financial results are set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024.

Description of Business
Victoria’s Secret & Co. (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a specialty retailer of women's intimate and other apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Adore Me brand names. The Company has approximately 890 stores in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and China as well as its own websites, www.VictoriasSecret.com, www.PINK.com and www.AdoreMe.com, and other digital channels worldwide. Additionally, the Company has more than 490 stores in nearly 70 countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements. The Company also includes the merchandise sourcing and production function serving the Company and its international partners. The Company operates as a single segment designed to serve customers worldwide seamlessly through stores and digital channels.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company made certain executive leadership changes, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and the elimination of two executive officer roles to streamline its executive leadership team. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company implemented restructuring actions to reorganize and improve its organizational structure. For additional information, see Note 4, “Restructuring Activities.”
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “third quarter of 2024” and “third quarter of 2023” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. “Year-to-date 2024” and “year-to-date 2023” refer to the thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively, and “fiscal year 2024” and “fiscal year 2023” refer to the fifty-two-week period ending February 1, 2025 and the fifty-three-week period ended February 3, 2024, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Interim Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
Seasonality of Business
Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the thirteen-week and thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending February 1, 2025.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.
The carrying values of equity method investments were $61 million as of November 2, 2024, $60 million as of February 3, 2024 and $56 million as of October 28, 2023. These investments are recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits.
The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.
Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has agreements with designated third-party financial institutions to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates and receive a discounted payment from participating financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. All amounts payable to financial institutions relating to suppliers participating in these programs are recorded in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $176 million as of November 2, 2024, $183 million as of February 3, 2024 and $154 million as of October 28, 2023.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the third quarter of 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Acquisition Acquisition
On December 30, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of AdoreMe, Inc. (“Adore Me”). Under the terms of the definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the acquisition (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company made an upfront cash payment of $391 million at closing and agreed to pay further cash consideration in an aggregate amount of at least $80 million, consisting of a fixed payment to be made on or prior to January 15, 2025, and up to $300 million based on the performance of Adore Me and achievement of specified strategic objectives and certain EBITDA and net revenue goals within the two-year period following closing of the transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, up to $60 million of the further cash consideration is subject to the continued employment of a certain Adore Me employee (“Contingent Compensation Payments”). These Contingent Compensation Payments are not included as consideration when applying the acquisition method of accounting and are recognized as compensation expense within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss if and when earned in future periods.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made payments of $20 million for the achievement of a specified strategic objective under the terms of the Merger Agreement, comprised of $16 million for contingent consideration classified as financing cash outflows and $4 million of Contingent Compensation Payments classified as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of purchase accounting items, including recognition of changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, in the third quarter and year-to-date 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of additional acquisition-related costs and recognition in gross profit of the fair value adjustment to acquired inventories that were sold in the respective period.
The following table provides a summary by line item in the Consolidated Statements of Loss of the financial impact of purchase accounting items and additional acquisition-related costs for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023:

On August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Hillary Super as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and as a member of the Board, effective as of September 9, 2024, and terminated Martin Waters as CEO, effective as of August 13, 2024. Mr. Waters’ exit from the Company constituted a termination without cause under his employment agreement, entitling him to receive certain severance benefits provided under his employment agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement.
Effective as of September 3, 2024, the Company eliminated the executive officer roles of Brand President, which was held by Greg Unis, and Chief Customer Officer, which was held by Christine Rupp. Mr. Unis’s and Ms. Rupp’s departures from the Company both constituted a termination without cause under their respective employment agreements, entitling them to each receive the severance benefits provided under their respective severance agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements.
As a result of these executive leadership changes, pre-tax severance and related costs of $13 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2024 and are included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2024 Consolidated Statements of Loss.

March 2024 Share Repurchase Program
In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (“March 2024 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock, subject to market conditions and other factors, through open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The March 2024 Share Repurchase Program is open-ended in term and will continue until exhausted.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program during the third quarter or year-to-date 2024. As of November 2, 2024, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $250 million of the Company's common stock under the March 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
January 2023 Share Repurchase Program
In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (“January 2023 Share Repurchase Program”), authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock. The authorization, which expired at the end of fiscal year 2023, was utilized in fiscal year 2023 to repurchase shares in the open market and under the accelerated share repurchase agreement described below.
In February 2023, as part of the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase $125 million of the Company's common stock. In February 2023, the Company made an initial payment of $125 million to Goldman Sachs and received an initial delivery of 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the initial share delivery, there was an additional $1 million increase in Treasury Stock, which reflected the excise tax liability recorded related to the share repurchase in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
In May 2023, upon final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Company received an additional 1.3 million shares of the Company's common stock from Goldman Sachs. The final number of shares received was based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement.
The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2023:

As a result, the Company retired the 3.7 million shares repurchased in connection with the settlement of the ASR Agreement year-to-date 2023. The retirement resulted in a reduction of $126 million in Treasury Stock, less than $1 million in the par value of Common Stock, $9 million in Paid-in Capital and $117 million in Retained Earnings year-to-date 2023.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events.
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% compared to 24.1% in the third quarter of 2023. Both rates differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at a lower rate than the Company’s combined federal and state statutory rate.
For year-to-date 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was (7.8%) compared to 20.6% for year-to-date 2023. The year-to-date 2024 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to additional tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards. The year-to-date 2023 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible liabilities related to contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments under the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The Company paid income taxes in the amount of $8 million and $6 million for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $45 million and $65 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash paid for interest was $49 million and $54 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Credit Facilities
The Company has a senior secured term loan B credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. The Company made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 and $3 million during both year-to-date 2024 and 2023.
Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR loans, ranging from 3.36% to 3.68% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 2.25%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of November 2, 2024, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 8.46%.
The Company also has a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million and an expiration date of August 2026. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million. Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to (i) Term SOFR or an alternative base rate and (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Canadian dollars, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) or a Canadian base rate, plus an interest rate margin based on average daily excess availability ranging from (x) in the case of CDOR loans, 1.50% to 2.00%, (y) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans, 0.50% to 1.00%, and (z) in the case of Term SOFR loans, 1.60% to 2.10%. Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.
The Company borrowed $460 million and $405 million from the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively, and made repayments of $165 million and $145 million under the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 2, 2024, there were borrowings of $440 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 6.59%. The Company had $19 million of outstanding letters of credit as of November 2, 2024 that further reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $291 million.
The Company's long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of November 2, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its long-term debt and borrowing facilities.

Equity Method Investments
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits.
The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.
Supplier Finance Programs
Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has agreements with designated third-party financial institutions to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates and receive a discounted payment from participating financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the third quarter of 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings (loss) per diluted share include the weighted-average effect of dilutive restricted stock units, performance share units and options (collectively, “Dilutive Awards”) on the weighted-average shares outstanding.
Inventory
Inventories are principally valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on an average cost basis. The above amounts are net of valuation adjustments for inventory where the cost exceeds the amount the Company expects to realize from the ultimate sale or disposal of the inventory and net of loss adjustments for estimated physical inventory losses that have occurred since the date of the last physical inventory.
Fair Value
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
