• Bloomingdale’s posted its fourth consecutive quarter of growth with comparable sales up 3.6% on an owned basis and increasing 5.7% on an O+L+M basis.
• Bluemercury reported comparable sales growth of 1.2%, its 18th consecutive quarter of gains.
• The company returned $100 million to shareholders including $50 million in quarterly dividends and $50 million in share repurchases.

“Our teams achieved better than expected top- and bottom-line results during the second quarter, driven by our strongest comparable sales growth in 12 quarters, reflecting the strong performance in Macy’s Reimagine 125 locations, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury,” said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “Our performance highlights the advantages of being a multi-brand, multi-category, omni-channel retailer. The substantive, enterprise-wide improvements across our business, with a strong focus on customer experience, give us further confidence that our Bold New Chapter initiatives can drive sustainable, long-term profitable growth.”

Second Quarter Results (comparisons are to the second quarter of 2024)

Macy’s, Inc. net sales, inclusive of store closures, decreased 2.5%³ to $4.8 billion, with comparable sales up 0.8% on an owned basis and up 1.9% on an O+L+M basis. Comparable sales reflect positive comparable sales at each of the company’s nameplates.

Macy’s, Inc. go-forward business comparable sales were up 1.1% on an owned basis and up 2.2% on an O+L+M basis. By nameplate:

• Macy’s net sales, inclusive of store closures, were down 3.8%³. Comparable sales were up 0.4% on an owned basis and up 1.2% on an O+L+M basis. Macy’s go-forward business comparable sales were up 0.7% on an owned basis and up 1.5% on an O+L+M basis.
  • Reimagine 125 locations comparable sales were up 1.1% on an owned basis and up 1.4% on an O+L basis.
• Bloomingdale’s net sales were up 4.6%. Comparable sales were up 3.6% on an owned basis and up 5.7% on an O+L+M basis.
• Bluemercury net sales were up 3.3%. Comparable sales were up 1.2% on an owned basis.

Other revenue of $187 million increased $28 million, or 17.6%. Within Other revenue:

• Credit card net revenues increased $28 million, or 22.4%, to $153 million.
• Macy’s Media Network net revenue remained flat at $34 million.

Gross margin rate of 39.7% declined 80 basis points, reflecting proactive markdowns on remaining early Spring product to maintain healthy inventories and product bought under prior tariff rates.

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 net income was $87 million, or 1.7% of total revenue, and Adjusted net income was $113 million, or 2.3% of total revenue. In the second quarter of 2024, net income was $150 million, or 2.9% of total revenue, and Adjusted net income was $149 million, or 2.9% of total revenue.

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.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $393 million, or 7.9% of total revenue, and Core Adjusted EBITDA⁴ was $377 million, or 7.5% of total revenue. 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.

1: Comparable sales, unless otherwise specified, refers to both owned and O+L+M sales, to the extent applicable.

2: Inclusive of go-forward locations and digital, unless otherwise specified. For Macy’s, Inc. this reflects go-forward locations and digital across all three nameplates.

3: Reflects the impact of fiscal 2024 store closures, primarily Macy’s nameplate locations, which contributed approximately $170 million in the second quarter of 2024.

4: Defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding asset sale gains.

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:

	Guidance as of September 3, 2025	Guidance as of May 28, 2025
Net sales*	$21.15 billion to $21.45 billion	$21.0 billion to $21.4 billion
Comparable owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales change	Down ~1.5% to down ~0.5% versus 2024	Down ~2.0% to down ~0.5% versus 2024
Go-forward business comparable owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales change	Down ~1.5% to ~flat versus 2024	Down ~2.0% to ~flat versus 2024
Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue	Unchanged	7.4% to 7.9%
Core Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue	Unchanged	7.0% to 7.5%
Adjusted diluted earnings per share**	$1.70 to $2.05	$1.60 to $2.00
*: Reflects the impact of fiscal 2024 store closures, primarily Macy’s nameplate locations, which contributed approximately $700 million of annual net sales.
**: The impact of any potential future share repurchases associated with the company’s current share repurchase authorization is not considered within guidance.

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.

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.

Notes:
(7)	Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation for one full fiscal year during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 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.
(8)	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
