1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Macy's, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is an omni-channel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three nameplates (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and kids'), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company has stores in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. As of May 2, 2026, the Company's operations and operating segments were conducted through Macy's, Macy's Backstage, Macy's small format, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Bloomie's and Bluemercury, which are aggregated into one reporting segment. The metrics used by management to assess the performance of the Company's operating divisions include sales trends, gross margin rates, expense rates and rates of earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") and EBITDA. The Company's operating divisions have historically had similar economic characteristics and are expected to have similar economic characteristics and long-term financial performance in future periods.

Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Al Zahra, Kuwait are operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.

A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (the "2025 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 2025 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Seasonality

Because of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 (which do not include the holiday season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the full fiscal year.

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net income. For the Company, the only other components of total comprehensive income for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. Settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of income before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost and are included in benefit plan income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 5, "Retirement Plans," for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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)" ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in this update enhance disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. The Company did not elect to use the practical expedient.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). The update amends certain aspects of the accounting and disclosure of software costs under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-40, "Internal-Use Software" ("ASC 350-40"). The amendments also supersede the guidance on web site development costs in ASC 350-50 and relocate that guidance, along with recognition requirements for development costs specific to web sites, to ASC 350-40. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Revenue

Other revenue generating activities consist of credit card revenues and Macy's Media Network revenue.

Total Revenue	$	4,892	$	4,793

(a)Other primarily includes restaurant sales, allowance for merchandise returns adjustments and breakage income from unredeemed gift cards.

(b)Macy's Media Network is an in-house media platform supporting both Macy's and Bloomingdale's customers through a broad variety of advertising formats running both on owned and operated platforms as well as offsite.

Macy's accounted for 82% and 83% of the Company's net sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. In addition, digital sales accounted for 34% and 33% of the Company's net sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

Retail Sales

Retail sales include merchandise sales, inclusive of delivery income, licensed department income, Marketplace income, sales of private brand goods directly to third party retailers and sales of excess inventory to third parties. Sales of merchandise are recorded at point of sale for in-store purchases or at the time of shipment to the customer for digital purchases and are reported net of estimated merchandise returns and certain customer incentives. Commissions earned on sales generated by licensed departments are included as a component of total net sales and are recognized as revenue at the time merchandise is sold to customers. Service revenues (e.g., alteration and cosmetic services) are recorded at the time the customer receives the benefit of the service. The Company has elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities.

Merchandise Returns

The Company estimates merchandise returns using historical data and recognizes an allowance that reduces net sales and cost of sales. The liability for merchandise returns is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $178 million, $128 million and $182 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is an asset totaling $105 million, $81 million and $109 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively, for the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned by customers.

Gift Cards and Customer Loyalty Programs

The Company only offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. At the time gift cards are sold or issued, no revenue is recognized; rather, the Company records an accrued liability to customers. The liability is relieved, and revenue is recognized, equal to the amount redeemed for merchandise. The Company records revenue from unredeemed gift cards (breakage) in net sales on a pro-rata basis over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. At least three years of historical data, updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns.

The Company maintains customer loyalty programs in which customers earn points based on their purchases. Under the Macy's Star Rewards loyalty program, points are earned based on customers' spending on Macy's private label and co-branded credit cards as well as non-proprietary cards and other forms of tender. The Company's Bloomingdale's Loyallist and Bluemercury BlueRewards programs provide tender neutral points-based programs to their customers. The Company recognizes the estimated net amount of the rewards that will be earned and redeemed as a reduction to net sales at the time of the initial transaction and as tender when the points are subsequently redeemed by a customer.

The liability for unredeemed gift cards and customer loyalty programs is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $312 million, $349 million and $320 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

Credit Card Revenues

In 2005, in connection with the sale of most of the Company's credit card accounts and related receivable balances to Citibank, the Company and Citibank entered into a long-term marketing and servicing alliance pursuant to the terms of a Credit Card Program Agreement ("Credit Card Program"). On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to its amended and restated Credit Card Program with Citibank (the "Program Agreement"), which did not materially change the Program's financial structure. As part of the Program Agreement, the Company receives payments for providing a combination of interrelated services and intellectual property to Citibank in support of the underlying Credit Card Program. Revenue based on the spending activity of the underlying accounts is recognized as the respective card purchases occur and the Company's profit share is recognized based on the performance of the underlying portfolio. Revenue associated with the establishment of new credit accounts and assisting in the receipt of payments for existing accounts is recognized as such activities occur. Credit card revenues include finance charges, late fees and other revenue generated by the Company’s Credit Card Program, net of fraud losses and expenses associated with establishing new accounts, credit card funding costs and bad debt reserves and are a component of other revenue on the consolidated statements of income.

The Program Agreement expires on March 31, 2030, subject to an additional renewal term of three years. The Program Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) the ownership by Citibank of the accounts purchased by Citibank, (ii) the ownership by Citibank of new accounts opened by the Company’s customers, (iii) the provision of credit by Citibank to the holders of the credit cards associated with the foregoing accounts, (iv) the servicing of the foregoing accounts, and (v) the allocation between Citibank and the Company of the economic benefits and burdens associated with the foregoing and other aspects of the alliance. Pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company continues to provide certain servicing functions related to the accounts and related receivables owned by Citibank and receives compensation from Citibank for these services. The amounts earned under the Program Agreement related to the servicing functions are deemed adequate compensation and, accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4. Financing Activities

The Company did not borrow or repay any debt, outside of capital lease activity, during both the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025.

ABL Credit Facility

On April 9, 2025, Macy’s Inventory Funding LLC (the “ABL Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Macy’s Inventory Holdings LLC (the “ABL Parent”), a direct subsidiary of the Company and the direct parent of the ABL Borrower, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the existing $3,000 million asset-based credit facility (the “Existing ABL Credit Facility”), which was set to expire in March 2027. The Amendment reduced the asset-based credit facility to $2,100 million (the “Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility”) and extended the maturity date to April 2030. The Amendment therefore provides the Company with access to $2,100 million of committed liquidity for the next five years. The ABL Borrower may request increases in the size of the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility up to an additional aggregate principal amount of $1,750 million. The Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility replaces the Existing ABL Credit Facility, with similar collateral support, but reduced commercial letter of credit fees and unused facility fees.

Table of Contents

MACY'S, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by (i) all assets of the ABL Borrower including all such inventory and the proceeds thereof and (ii) the equity of the ABL Borrower. The ABL Parent guarantees the ABL Borrower’s obligations under the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility.

The Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility contains customary borrowing conditions including a borrowing base equal to the sum of (i) 90% of the net orderly liquidation percentage of eligible inventory, minus (ii) customary reserves. Amounts borrowed under the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the ABL Borrower’s option, either (i) adjusted SOFR (calculated to include a 0.10% credit adjustment spread) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.50%, in each case depending on revolving line utilization. The Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility also contains customary covenants that provide for, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restricted payments and prepayment of certain indebtedness as well as customary representations and warranties and events of default typical for credit facilities of this type.

The Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility also requires Macy’s, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter if Availability plus Suppressed Availability (each as defined in the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility) is less than the greater of (a) 10% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility) and (b) $175 million, in each case, as of the end of such fiscal quarter.

As of May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the Company had $142 million and $144 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, respectively, which reduced the available borrowing capacity to $1,958 million and $1,956 million, respectively. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility as of May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025.

Other Financing Activities

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of its common stock pursuant to its existing stock purchase authorization for a total of approximately $50 million. During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company repurchased 8.7 million shares of its common stock pursuant to its existing stock purchase authorization for a total of approximately $101 million. As of May 2, 2026, the Company had $1.1 billion of authorization remaining under its share repurchase program. The Company may continue or, from time to time, suspend repurchases of shares under its share repurchase program, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital and other factors.

5. Retirement Plans

The Company has defined contribution plans that cover substantially all employees who work 1,000 hours or more in a year. In addition, the Company has a funded defined benefit plan ("Pension Plan") and an unfunded defined benefit supplementary retirement plan ("SERP"), which provides benefits, for certain employees, in excess of qualified plan limitations. Effective January 1, 2012, the Pension Plan was closed to new participants, with limited exceptions, and effective January 2, 2012, the SERP was closed to new participants.

In February 2013, the Company announced changes to the Pension Plan and SERP whereby eligible employees no longer earn future pension service credits after December 31, 2013, with limited exceptions. All retirement benefits attributable to service in subsequent periods are provided through defined contribution plans.

In addition, certain retired employees currently are provided with specified health care and life insurance benefits ("Postretirement Obligations"). Eligibility requirements for such benefits vary, but generally state that benefits are available to eligible employees who were hired prior to a certain date and retire after a certain age with specified years of service. Certain employees are subject to having such benefits modified or terminated.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company's financial assets are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

Level 2: Significant observable inputs for the assets

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for the assets

The following table shows the estimated fair value of the Company's marketable equity and debt securities:


			Fair Value Measurements
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(millions)
May 2, 2026	$	41	$	41	$	—	$	—
January 31, 2026	42		42		—		—
May 3, 2025	36		36		—		—

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, certain short-term investments and other assets, short-term debt, merchandise accounts payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards.

7. Supplier Finance Programs

The Company has agreements with third-party financial institutions to facilitate supply chain finance ("SCF") programs. The programs allow qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables, on an invoice level at the selection of the supplier, from the Company to the financial institution and negotiate their outstanding receivable arrangements and associated fees directly with the financial institution. Macy's, Inc. is not party to the agreements between the supplier and the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the SCF programs require payment in full by the financial institution to the supplier by the original maturity date of the invoice, or discounted payment at an earlier date as agreed upon with the supplier. The Company's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF programs.

All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF programs are recorded within merchandise accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and associated payments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company's outstanding obligations as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were $74 million, $79 million and $114 million, respectively.

8. Segments

Macy's, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is an omni-channel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three nameplates (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and kids'), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. As of May 2, 2026, the Company's operations and operating segments were conducted through Macy's, Macy's Backstage, Macy's small format, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Bloomie's and Bluemercury.

All operating segments engage in similar business activities, operate in similar economic environments and have materially similar key economic metrics, among other similarities. As such, the Company aggregates all operations into a single reporting segment under the aggregation criteria.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Tony Spring, is its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and reviews segment performance to make resource allocation decisions and to guide strategic decisions based on net income, which is reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of segment net income that the CODM considers are consistent with the components of net income as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income with the additional disaggregation of depreciation and amortization from selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense represented $210 million and $219 million of the total selling, general and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The CODM does not review assets when evaluating the segment results, therefore, such information is not presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For purposes of the following discussion, all references to "first quarter of 2026" and "first quarter of 2025" are to the Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in the 2025 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company's actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report (particularly in "Risk Factors" and in "Forward-Looking Statements") and in the 2025 10-K (particularly in "Risk Factors" and in "Forward-Looking Statements"). This discussion includes Non-GAAP financial measures. For information about these measures, see the disclosure under the caption "Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

On February 18, 2026, the Company announced an update to its non-GAAP financial disclosures. These changes do not impact its historical or future GAAP metrics and disclosures. The updated disclosures, which encompass comparable sales, owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace ("OLM") dollar sales, revenues and non-GAAP earnings metrics, are intended to both simplify disclosures and provide increased clarity on the key metrics that support our growth profile and go-forward operating performance. Beginning this quarter, adjusted earnings metrics reflect our new non-GAAP metrics.

Quarterly Overview and Company Strategy

The Company is in its third year of the execution of its Bold New Chapter strategy, which firmly places energy and focus on the needs of our customers and is centered on an enhanced omni-channel shopping experience across all three of our nameplates. This strategy prioritizes improving the shopping environment and elevating the customer experience, while closing underproductive Macy's stores to focus resources and investments on its go-forward enterprise. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered enterprise-wide growth, better-than expected performance across all key metrics, and our highest comparable sales in four years with all nameplates and channels positive. The Company's results reflect the progress it is making on each pillar of the Bold New Chapter strategy, with key highlights as follows:

•.Strengthen and Reimagine the Macy's nameplate

◦Reimagine 200 Locations: In the first quarter of 2026, we expanded learnings to an additional 75 locations for a total of 200 reimagined Macy's locations. The investments in the additional 75 stores have continued emphasis on customer experience, and build on learnings from the first two years of our Bold New Chapter strategy. The Reimagine 200 locations continued to outperform the rest of the Macy's fleet in the first quarter of 2026. We believe these locations are now better organized, easier to shop and have a more compelling visual presentation. Within each category we are driving higher interest and engagement through increased differentiation. We are carving out floor space to leverage new trends while maintaining a presence in existing categories and brands.

◦Revitalize assortment: Our assortment matrix evolution continues to gain traction as we elevate our product curation to deliver a more compelling mix of newness and fashion. Our merchants continue to be focused on clarity of offering, enhanced variety and reduced redundancies. During the first quarter of 2026, we introduced Rothy's, Donna Karan Weekend and Ted Baker Men's. In addition, we expanded Abercrombie kids offerings to infants and toddlers, and further expanded store distribution of Reiss, Free People, Theory and Rodd & Gunn.

◦Customer Experience: Macy's delivered its highest first quarter net promoter score on record. During the quarter, we introduced Ask Macy's, our new AI-powered conversational shopping assistant shaped by data and insights from thousands of colleagues. It serves as a starting point for discovery across channels and initial results indicate that customers engaging with Ask Macy's have higher conversion rates.

•.Accelerate luxury growth

◦Bloomingdale's: Bloomingdale's achieved its highest first quarter sales in its 154-year history. From a category perspective, ready-to-wear, men's apparel, fine jewelry, shoes and tabletop were standout contributors to this performance. Bloomingdale's provides its customers with a compelling and distinct experience through matrix elevation, new brand additions, and a vibrant shopping experience, including collaborations, activations and personalized customer service. In the first quarter of 2026, we introduced a number of designer brands , including Chloe ready-to-wear, Isabel Marant, Phoebe Philo, Parke Denim, Heirlome and Khaite Shoes. We also expanded the reach of our Very Important Client program, which cater to our highest spenders, and hosted our newest campaign, California Love, which featured California inspired events, animation and brand exclusives.

◦Bluemercury: Bluemercury achieved another quarter of comparable sales growth. Results continued to be driven by makeup, dermatological skincare and fragrances including Byredo and Parfums de Marly, as well as Dr. Diamond's Metacine and Skinceuticals. New and remodeled stores continued to outperform the remainder of the locations.

MACY'S, INC.

•.Simplify and modernize end-to-end operations

◦The scope of the pillar has expanded this year to incorporate optimizing and scaling enterprise-wide organizational excellence, which we believe more accurately reflects the Company's organizational model and innovation capabilities. This pillar supports revenue growth and customer experience enhancements to drive efficiencies. The Company has been testing, refining and implementing initiatives, including Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), and we believe there are meaningful opportunities to better serve our customers and support our colleagues.

Net sales	$	4,682		$	4,599
Change in comparable sales	3.0		%	(1.2)		%
Digital sales as a percent of net sales	34		%	33		%

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 increased $83 million, or 1.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Excluding the $40 million impact of the 14 non-go-forward locations that closed at the end of fiscal 2025, net sales grew 2.7%. The increase in net sales was driven by sales growth at all three nameplates. At Macy's, sequential improvement across all lines of business was realized in the first quarter of 2026, with watches, petites, dresses, career, kids, handbags, fragrances and shoes outperforming the total Macy's comparable store sales, while big-ticket home, especially furniture, and plus size categories were softer compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Other revenue	$	210	4.5	%	$	194	4.2	%

The increase in other revenues compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due to a $18 million increase in credit card revenues which continued to be driven by a strong credit portfolio and prudent management of net credit losses. Macy's Media Network revenues were 5.0% below the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a shift in timing of advertising spend on a year-over-year basis.

Gross margin rate declined 30 basis points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to an approximately 30 basis point tariff impact. Excluding the tariff impact, the gross margin rate would have been approximately flat to the first quarter of 2025.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $39 million, or 2.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued to invest in its go-forward business, including Reimagine 200 locations and Bloomingdale's. These investments were partially offset by ongoing cost containment efforts. SG&A expenses as a percent to total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 were flat compared to the first quarter of 2025.


	First Quarter of 2026		First Quarter of 2025
Gains on sale of real estate	$	15	$	16

Asset sale gains in both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 primarily reflect the monetization of store locations.

Impairment, restructuring and other benefits (costs)	$	17	$	(7)

The $17 million of impairment, restructuring and other benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2026 primarily relate to the benefit recognized from lease modifications.The $7 million of impairment, restructuring and other costs recognized in the first quarter of 2025 primarily relate to store closure costs.


	First Quarter of 2026		First Quarter of 2025
Net interest expense	$	(25)	$	(27)

The decrease in net interest expense, excluding loss on extinguishment of debt, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in interest expense as a result of the debt transactions that were executed in the second quarter of 2025.

The income tax expense of $30 million, or 32.3% of pretax income, for the first quarter of 2026 and expense of $30 million, or 44.1% of pretax income, for the first quarter of 2025, reflect a different effective tax rate as compared to the Company’s federal income tax statutory rate of 21%. The income tax effective rates for both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 were impacted primarily by the impact of state and local taxes and the tax impact related to the vesting and cancellation of certain stock-based compensation awards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility. Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, lease obligations, merchandise purchase obligations, retirement plan benefits and self-insurance reserves. Merchandise purchase obligations represent future merchandise payables for inventory purchased from various suppliers through contractual arrangements and are expected to be funded through cash from operations.

The Company believes that, assuming no change in its current business plan, its available cash, together with expected future cash generated from operations, the amount available under the Amended & Extended ABL Credit Facility and credit available in the market, will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures and cash dividends for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future thereafter.

Capital Allocation

The Company's capital allocation goals include maintaining a healthy balance sheet and investment-grade credit metrics to be best-positioned for access to bank and capital market funding under all economic scenarios, followed by investing in the business through initiatives to drive long-term profitable growth and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2026 with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $1,294 million, an increase of $362 million from $932 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025. The Company is party to an ABL Credit Facility with certain financial institutions providing for a $2,100 million asset-based credit facility. As of May 2, 2026, borrowing availability was $1,958 million, which reflects a $142 million reduction due to standby letters of credit outstanding.

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities	$	292	$	(64)
Net cash used by investing activities	(149)		(133)
Net cash used by financing activities	(95)		(178)

Operating Activities

The net cash provided by operating activities in the current year versus cash used by operating activities in the prior year was primarily driven by $328 million cash received from the settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which the Company was a plaintiff.

Investing Activities

The Company's capital expenditures were $177 million in both 2026 and 2025. Capital expenditures in the current year are primarily focused on digital and technology investments as well as omni-channel capabilities related to the Bold New Chapter strategy.

Financing Activities

Dividends

The Company paid dividends totaling $50 million and $51 million in 2026 and 2025, respectively.

On May 15, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 19.15 cents per share on its common stock, which will be paid on July 1, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2026. Subsequent dividends will be subject to approval of the Board of Directors, which will depend on market and other conditions.

Stock Repurchases

On February 22, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a $2,000 million share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $18.92 per share on the open market under its share repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 8.7 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $11.66 per share on the open market under its share repurchase program. As of May 2, 2026, $1,074 million remained available under the authorization. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on terms determined by the Company.

Contractual Obligations

As of May 2, 2026, there were no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations and commitments outside the ordinary course of business since January 31, 2026, as reported in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

The Company had $2,441 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured debentures (collectively the "Unsecured Notes") outstanding as of both May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026 with maturities ranging from 2027 to 2043. The Unsecured Notes constitute debt obligations of Macy's Retail Holdings, LLC ("MRH" or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Macy's, Inc. ("Parent" and together with the "Subsidiary Issuer," the "Obligor Group"), and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent. The Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured obligations, senior to any of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of each of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes. Holders of the Company's secured indebtedness, including any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, will have a priority claim on the assets that secure such secured indebtedness; therefore, the Unsecured Notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of the Subsidiary Issuer's and Parent and their subsidiaries’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

The following tables include combined financial information of the Obligor Group. Investments in subsidiaries of $7,094 million and $7,016 million as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively, have been excluded from the Summarized Balance Sheets. Equity in earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries of $357 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 have been excluded from the Summarized Statement of Operations. The combined financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances and transactions within the Obligor Group eliminated.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management believes that providing earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), which are non-GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from EBIT, EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share that are not associated with the company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the company's ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. Management also believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures for components of executive compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual and future financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have carried out, as of May 2, 2026, with the participation of the Company's management, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of May 2, 2026, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

From time to time, adoption of new accounting pronouncements, major organizational restructuring and realignment occurs for which the Company reviews its internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this review, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
