2025 Guidance
The company has revised its annual guidance, including raising net sales and adjusted diluted EPS guidance. Full year guidance continues to assume the consumer is more choiceful in the fourth quarter of 2025. It also assumes that current tariffs remain in place and provides flexibility to respond to changes in consumer demand and the competitive landscape. The company is confident that its strong financial position, diverse brand and category offerings, and range from off-price to luxury provide flexibility to adapt to the evolving environment. The company remains committed to the Bold New Chapter strategy and reinvesting most of the savings from the strategy to support long-term sales growth.
The full outlook for 2025, including fourth quarter of 2025, can be found in the presentation posted to www.macysinc.com/investors. For Macy's, Inc. the company expects:

||
The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of comparable O+L+M sales change, Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue, Core Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

| (3) | The income tax benefit of $6 million and expense of $52 million, or 120.0% and 27.8% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2025, respectively and income tax expense of $7 million and $87 million, or 20.0% and 26.6% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024, respectively, reflect a different effective tax rate as compared to the Company's federal income tax statutory rate of 21%. The income tax effective rates for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024 were impacted primarily by the recognition of return-to-provision adjustments associated with the filings of the Company's 2024 and 2023 U.S. Federal income tax returns during each respective period, as well as the effect of state and local taxes. |
| (4) | Gross margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales. |
| (5) | Restricted cash of $2 million and $3 million has been included with cash and cash equivalents as of November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively. |
MACY'S, INC.
Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management believes that providing supplemental changes in comparable sales on an O+L+M basis, which includes adjusting for the impact of comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties and marketplace sales, assists in evaluating the company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses, departments licensed to third parties or marketplace sales, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure which the company believes provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share that are not associated with the company's core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the company's ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.
The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of comparable O+L+M sales change, Adjusted EBITDA, Core Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the company's actual and future financial condition and performance. Additionally, the amounts received by the company on account of sales of departments licensed to third parties and marketplace sales are limited to commissions received on such sales. The methods used by the company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

|
| (6) | Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation for one full fiscal year during the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024. Such calculation includes all digital sales and excludes commissions from departments licensed to third parties and marketplace. Stores impacted by a natural disaster or undergoing significant expansion or shrinkage remain in the comparable sales calculation unless the store, or material portion of the store, is closed for a significant period of time. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales may differ among companies in the retail industry. |
|
|
| (7) | Represents the impact of including the sales of departments licensed to third parties occurring in stores in operation throughout the year presented and the immediately preceding year and all online sales, including marketplace sales, in the calculation of comparable sales. Macy's and Bloomingdale's license third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receive commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales, while Bluemercury does not participate in licensed or Marketplace businesses. In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the company includes these commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties and Marketplace) in its net sales. The company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of licensed department or Marketplace sales (or any commissions earned on such sales) in its comparable sales in accordance with GAAP (i.e., on an owned basis). The amounts of commissions earned on sales of departments licensed to third parties and from the digital Marketplace are not material to its net sales for the periods presented. |
Non-GAAP financial measures, excluding certain items below, are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as follows:
- EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and core adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to GAAP net income.
- Adjusted net income is reconciled to GAAP net income.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share is reconciled to GAAP diluted earnings per share.
