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.

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.

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.
