Macy’s, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Comparable sales down 3.1% on an owned basis and down 2.7% on an owned-plus-licensed basis

Inventories up 4% versus 2021, reflecting ongoing planning and supply chain discipline

Diluted EPS of $0.39 and Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.52

Reaffirms annual sales guidance and raises Adjusted diluted EPS guidance

Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022 and updated its annual guidance.

“Our Polaris strategy is working. In the third quarter, we achieved solid top line results and a strong beat to our bottom line guidance. Macy’s brand position as a style and fashion source resonated with our customers, while luxury continued to outperform at Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury,” said Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “Retail is detail, and our talented and agile team are executing well to compete. We know the consumer is under increasing pressure and has choices on where to spend. As a leading gifting destination with fresh inventory across the value spectrum, we are ready to meet our customers’ needs this holiday season.”

“We are operating from a position of strong financial health – with appropriate levels of inventory, a strong balance sheet with ample liquidity, investment grade credit metrics and fixed interest rate debt in a rising interest rate environment. We have the tools, data-driven processes and talented teams to manage through this uncertain time and are committed to long-term, profitable growth,” added Adrian Mitchell, chief financial officer of Macy’s, Inc.

Third Quarter Highlights

Comparisons are to third quarter 2021 unless noted otherwise. Comparisons to 2019 are provided, where appropriate, to benchmark performance given the impact of the pandemic.

  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.39 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.52.
    • This compares to diluted earnings per share of $0.76 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.23 in the third quarter of 2021.
    • This compares to diluted earnings per share of $0.01 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.07 in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Net sales of $5.2 billion, down 3.9% versus the third quarter of 2021; up 1.1% versus the third quarter of 2019.
    • Digital sales decreased 9% versus the third quarter of 2021; up 35% versus the third quarter of 2019.
    • Brick-and-mortar sales decreased 1% versus the third quarter of 2021; down 9% versus the third quarter of 2019.
  • Comparable sales down 3.1% on an owned basis and down 2.7% on an owned-plus-licensed basis; up 5.6% and 6.0%, respectively, versus the third quarter of 2019.
  • Highlights of the company's nameplates include:
    • Macy’s comparable sales were down 4.4% on an owned basis and down 4.0%, on an owned-plus-licensed basis.
      • 43.6 million active customers shopped the Macy’s brand, on a trailing twelve-month basis, a 2% increase compared to the prior year.
      • Star Rewards program members made up approximately 70% of the total Macy's brand owned-plus-licensed sales on a trailing twelve-month basis, up approximately 5 percentage points versus the prior year.
      • The company continued to see strength in occasion-based categories, including career and tailored sportswear, fragrances, shoes, dresses and luggage.
    • Bloomingdale’s comparable sales on an owned basis were up 5.3% and on an owned-plus-licensed basis were up 4.1%.
      • 4.1 million active customers shopped the Bloomingdale’s brand, on a trailing twelve-month basis, a 9% increase over the prior year.
      • Results were driven by strength across women’s, men’s and kid’s contemporary and dressy apparel, women’s shoes as well as luggage.
    • Bluemercury comparable sales were up 14.0% on an owned and owned-plus-licensed basis.
      • Approximately 650,000 active customers shopped the Bluemercury brand, on a trailing twelve-month basis, a 15% increase over the prior year.
  • Inventory turnover, on a trailing twelve-month basis, was relatively flat to 2021 and improved 15% over 2019.
    • Inventory was up 4% year-over-year and down 12% versus 2019, reflecting disciplined inventory management in an environment of continued supply chain volatility and industry-wide elevated inventory levels, as well as lean inventory levels experienced in 2021. The company strategically brought in seasonal merchandise earlier to strengthen its competitive position for Holiday and has the added capacity to chase in-season trends.
  • Gross margin for the quarter was 38.7%, down from 41.0% in the third quarter of 2021.
    • Merchandise margin decline was driven by a year-over-year increase in promotional and permanent markdowns within the Macy’s brand, as the company sold through slower moving categories including casual apparel, soft home, and warmer weather seasonal goods.
    • Delivery expense as a percent of net sales was relatively consistent with the prior year. Higher fuel costs more than offset the impact of a 2-percentage point decline in digital penetration and reductions in cost-per-package.
  • Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2.1 billion, a $84 million increase.
    • SG&A expense as a percent of sales was 39.3%, 300 basis points higher compared to the third quarter of 2021 and an improvement of 330 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2019.
    • The prior year quarter benefited from a significant number of open positions due to the tight labor market. The positions have since largely been filled.
    • The company is adjusting colleague compensation to remain competitive and attract the best talent, while simultaneously remaining disciplined in its SG&A productivity efforts.
  • Net credit card revenue of $206 million, down $7 million.
    • Represented 3.9% of sales, in line with the prior year period.
    • Performance driven by lower-than-expected bad debt levels, larger balances within the portfolio as well as higher-than-expected spend on co-brand credit cards.

MACY’S, INC.

 

Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 

 
Notes:

 

(1)

As a result of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the fiscal year.

 

 

(2)

The income tax expense of $17 million and $213 million, or 13.6% and 24.2% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022, respectively, and income tax expense of $55 million and $197 million, or 18.7% and 22.3% of pretax income, for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2021, 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 October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 were impacted primarily by impact of return-to-provision adjustments that were identified in connection with the filing of the U.S. federal income tax return in the current quarter.

 

 

(3)

Gross margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales.

 

 

(4)

Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of October 30, 2021 included an income tax receivable of $590 million.

 

 

(5)

Restricted cash of $3 million and $5 million have been included with cash and cash equivalents for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, 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 owned plus licensed basis, which includes adjusting for the impact of comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties, assists in evaluating the company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties, 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 adjusted EBITDA, diluted earnings per share and comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

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

Notes:

(6)

Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022, and the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2021 and the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019. Such calculation includes all digital sales and excludes commissions from departments licensed to third parties. 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 in the calculation of comparable sales. The company licenses third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receives commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales. In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the company includes these commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales. The company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of licensed department 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 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 and 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.
