Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $1.9 billion decreased $29 million, reflecting the net impact of the benefit from closed Macy’s locations and cost containment efforts partially offset by investments in the company’s go-forward business, including the Reimagine 125 locations and Bloomingdale’s. As a percent of total revenue, SG&A expense increased 20 basis points to 38.9% driven by lower net sales.
Asset sale gains were $16 million compared to $36 million.

GAAP and Adjusted diluted EPS were $0.31 and $0.41, respectively. In the second quarter of 2024, GAAP and Adjusted diluted EPS were both $0.53.

In the second quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $438 million, or 8.6% of total revenue, and Core Adjusted EBITDA was $402 million, or 7.9% of total revenue.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Merchandise inventories decreased 0.8% year-over-year.
The company ended the second quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $829 million and had $2.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under its asset-based credit facility. During July and August 2025, the company completed a series of financing transactions to further fortify its balance sheet, increase financial flexibility and modestly reduce leverage, which resulted in a net reduction of long-term debt of approximately $340 million. The net reduction of long-term debt reflects the issuance of $500 million in new senior unsecured notes due 2033, and the repayment of approximately $840 million of certain outstanding notes and debentures, using proceeds from the issuance and cash on hand. As a result of these actions, the company has no material long-term debt maturities until 2030.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, total debt was $2.6 billion, which included $194 million of redeemed debt included in the aforementioned actions that did not settle until August 28, 2025.
Shareholder Returns
Through its quarterly dividend, the company returned $50 million in cash to shareholders in the second quarter of 2025, and $100 million in the first half of 2025. Additionally, on August 22, 2025, Macy’s, Inc.’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 18.24 cents per share on Macy’s, Inc.’s common stock, payable on October 1, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2025.
During the second quarter of 2025, the company repurchased 4.0 million of its shares for $50 million, bringing total repurchases in the first half of 2025 to 12.6 million shares for $151 million. The company had approximately $1.2 billion remaining under its $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization as of the end of the second quarter of 2025.

2025 Guidance
The company has revised its annual guidance, including raising net sales and adjusted diluted EPS guidance, to reflect second quarter of 2025 performance and the anticipated gross margin impact of current tariffs in the third and fourth quarters. Consistent with prior expectations, full year guidance also assumes the consumer is more choiceful in the second half of 2025 and provides flexibility to respond to the competitive promotional 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 third 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.

The income tax expense of $28 million and $58 million, or 24.3% and 31.9% of pretax income, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, respectively and income tax expense of $45 million and $80 million, or 23.1% and 27.4% of pretax income, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 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 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 were impacted primarily by the effect of state and local taxes. The income tax effective rates for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 were impacted by the effect of state and local taxes and the vesting and cancellation of certain stock-based compensation awards. |

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.
