Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bath & Body Works, Inc. (BBWI) reported second quarter 2025 Net Sales of $1,549 million, up $23 million or 1.5% versus Q2 2024, driven by modest increases in transactions and average dollar sales in North America. Operating Income was $157 million, down $26 million or 13.9%, and the operating margin fell to 10.2% from 12.0% a year earlier primarily due to higher general, administrative and store operating expenses related to leadership transition costs, partially offset by a higher gross profit rate. The Company recorded a much higher effective tax rate in Q2 2025 of 32.3% versus 0.9% in Q2 2024, reflecting severance-related items and other tax items; year-to-date rates were 29.9% versus 12.1% in the prior year. The Company had no borrowings under its $750 million ABL Facility as of August 2, 2025, with a borrowing base of $683 million and available capacity of $674 million after $9 million of letters of credit. The Company cancelled the remaining $121 million authorization under its January 2024 repurchase program on February 27, 2025 and began repurchases under a January 2025 program, with $3 million repurchased as of August 2, 2025 and $262 million remaining authority. Easton real estate investments were reclassified during Q2 2025, with held-for-sale carrying value movements and prior 2024 sales that generated $50 million of proceeds and a $39 million pre-tax gain.

Insights

TL;DR: Revenue growth was modest while operating profit and margins declined due to elevated G&A and severance; liquidity remains strong.

The Company delivered a small increase in Net Sales of 1.5% year-over-year, indicating demand resilience in core North American channels. However, Operating Income declined 13.9% and operating margin contracted to 10.2%, driven by higher operating expenses tied to leadership transition costs. The sizeable uptick in the quarterly effective tax rate to 32.3% materially reduced net income relative to last year. On liquidity, the ABL Facility remains largely available with no outstanding borrowings and $674 million of availability, supporting short-term flexibility. Share repurchases resumed under a new program but actual buybacks through August 2, 2025 were immaterial at $3 million. Overall, top-line stability is positive but margin and tax impacts are material near-term headwinds.

TL;DR: Leadership transitions are visibly affecting expenses and taxes; disclosure on governance and succession costs is appropriately explicit.

Management discloses that transition of certain leadership team members drove severance-related costs that increased operating expenses and the effective tax rate. The company clearly ties these items to the quarter-to-quarter profitability decline and to adjusted measures provided to the CODM. The cancellation and replacement of a repurchase authorization and ongoing buyback authority are disclosed with exact amounts retired and remaining authority, indicating active capital allocation decisions. Lease guarantee disclosures related to the Victoria's Secret spin-off remain and are quantified at $224 million of contingent obligations. These governance-related disclosures provide investors clarity on executive transition impacts and capital policy choices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global omnichannel retailer focused on personal care and home fragrance. The Company sells merchandise through its retail stores in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and Canada, and through its websites and other channels, under the Bath & Body Works®, White Barn® and other brand names. The Company’s international business is conducted through franchise, license and wholesale partners.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “second quarter of 2025” and “second quarter of 2024” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. “Year-to-date 2025” and “year-to-date 2024” refer to the twenty-six-week periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. References to “quarter” and “year” each refer to the fiscal calendar period.

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee’s net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of all unconsolidated entities is included in Other Income, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.

Interim Financial Statements

The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

Seasonality of Business

The Company’s operations are seasonal in nature and consist of two principal selling seasons: Spring (the first and second quarters) and Fall (the third and fourth quarters). Typically, the Company’s sales are highest during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s Canadian dollar denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all the Company’s merchandise sold in Canada is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate this foreign currency exposure. Amounts are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income upon sale of the hedged merchandise to the customer. These gains and losses are recognized in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Income. All designated cash flow hedges are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of designated cash flow hedges is not significant for any period presented. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Supplier Finance Program

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program agreement with a third-party financial institution, whereby the Company’s merchandise suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early, at a discount, facilitated by the financial institution. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the arrangement and the Company provides no guarantees to any third parties under the SCF program. Amounts due under the SCF program are included in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash

Table of Contents

Flows. Amounts due under the SCF program were $90 million and $7 million as of August 2, 2025 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom it transacts and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits.

The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.

Easton Investments

The Company has land and other investments in Easton, a planned community in Columbus, Ohio, that integrates office, hotel, retail, residential and recreational space. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, certain of these investments met all of the required criteria for held for sale presentation, which requires assets to be reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The investments classified as held for sale, consisting primarily of undeveloped land, are reported at their carrying value, which was $81 million and $96 million as of August 2, 2025 and February 1, 2025, respectively, within Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company changed its plan of sale for its Easton investments, causing certain of these investments to no longer meet the held for sale criteria. As a result of this change, the Company reclassified $17 million of carrying value from Current Assets to long-term Other Assets on the August 2, 2025 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Following this reclassification, the Company’s Easton investments not presented as held for sale were $40 million and reported in Other Assets as of August 2, 2025. The Company’s Easton investments not presented as held for sale and reported in Other Assets were $26 million as of February 1, 2025 and $121 million as of August 3, 2024.

Previously included in the Company’s Easton investments were equity interests in Easton Town Center, LLC (“ETC”) and Easton Gateway, LLC (“EG”), entities that own and develop commercial entertainment and shopping centers. The Company’s investments in ETC and EG were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company sold its entire interest in the business associated with EG and its entire interest in ETC. The Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $50 million at the closing of these sales, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $39 million, which is included in Other Income, Net, in the 2024 Consolidated Statements of Income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that requires disclosures of disaggregated information about certain prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions. This standard is effective for annual reporting of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods in the following year, with early adoption permitted. This standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.

2. Revenue Recognition

Accounts receivable, net from revenue-generating activities were $75 million as of August 2, 2025, $81 million as of February 1, 2025 and $87 million as of August 3, 2024. These accounts receivable primarily relate to amounts due from the Company’s franchise, license and wholesale partners. Under these arrangements, payment terms are typically 45 to 75 days.

Table of Contents

The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of transfer of control of goods or services. Deferred revenue primarily relates to gift cards, loyalty points and rewards, and direct channel shipments not received by the customer, which are all impacted by seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Deferred revenue, which is recorded within Accrued Expenses and Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $172 million as of August 2, 2025, $197 million as of February 1, 2025 and $166 million as of August 3, 2024. The Company recognized $87 million as revenue year-to-date 2025 from amounts recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year.

The following table provides a disaggregation of Net Sales for the second quarters of and year-to-date 2025 and 2024:


	Second Quarter				Year-to-Date
	2025		2024		2025		2024
	(in millions)
Stores - U.S. and Canada (a)	$	1,196	$	1,140	$	2,307	$	2,205
Direct - U.S. and Canada	267		297		517		558
International (b)	86		89		150		147
Total Net Sales	$	1,549	$	1,526	$	2,974	$	2,910

_______________

(a)Results include fulfilled buy online pick up in store orders.

(b)Results include royalties associated with franchised stores and wholesale sales.

The Company’s Net Sales outside of the U.S. include sales from Company-operated stores and its e-commerce site in Canada, royalties associated with franchised stores and wholesale sales. Certain of these sales are subject to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency. The Company’s Net Sales outside of the U.S. totaled $167 million and $164 million for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $299 million and $289 million for year-to-date 2025 and 2024, respectively.

3. Net Income Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Net Income Per Share

Net Income per Basic Share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Net Income per Diluted Share includes the weighted-average effect of dilutive restricted share units, performance share units and stock options (collectively, “Dilutive Awards”) on the weighted-average common shares outstanding.

The following table provides the weighted-average shares utilized for the calculation of Net Income per Basic and Diluted Share for the second quarters of and year-to-date 2025 and 2024:


	Second Quarter		Year-to-Date
	2025	2024	2025	2024
	(in millions)

Common Shares	225	237	227	239
Treasury Shares	(15)	(15)	(15)	(15)
Basic Shares	210	222	212	224
Effect of Dilutive Awards	1	1	1	1
Diluted Shares	211	223	213	225
Anti-dilutive Awards (a)	—	—	—	1

_______________

(a)These awards were excluded from the calculation of Net Income per Diluted Share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Capital Expenditures of $51 million and $24 million remained unpaid as of August 2, 2025 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events.

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was 32.3% compared to 0.9% in the second quarter of 2024. The 2025 second quarter rate was higher than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates largely due to the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits. The 2024 second quarter rate was lower than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the sales of Easton investments during the quarter, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset.

For year-to-date 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was 29.9% compared to 12.1% for year-to-date 2024. The 2025 year-to-date rate was higher than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates largely due to accrued interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits. The 2024 year-to-date rate was lower than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the sales of Easton investments during the period, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset.

Income taxes paid were $207 million and $203 million for year-to-date 2025 and 2024, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted in the U.S., which includes various tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, and provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. This legislation did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as of and for the twenty-six week period ended August 2, 2025.

During the second quarter of and year-to-date 2024, the Company repurchased in the open market and extinguished $91 million and $200 million principal amounts of its outstanding senior notes, respectively. The aggregate repurchase price for these notes was $92 million and $202 million for the second quarter of and year-to-date 2024, respectively, resulting in pre-tax losses of $2 million and $3 million, including the write-off of unamortized issuance costs, during the second quarter of and year-to-date 2024, respectively.

Asset-backed Revolving Credit Facility

The Company and certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries guarantee and pledge collateral to secure an asset-backed revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”). The ABL Facility, which allows borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. and Canadian dollars, has aggregate commitments of $750 million.

Table of Contents

In May 2025, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement (“Amendment”) of the ABL Facility. The Amendment removed the interest rate credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, extended the expiration date from August 2026 to May 2030 and included certain other technical amendments.

Availability under the ABL Facility is the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company’s eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, accounts receivable, inventory and eligible real property, or (ii) the aggregate commitment. If at any time the outstanding amount under the ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitment, the Company is required to repay the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to the extent of such excess. As of August 2, 2025, the Company’s borrowing base was $683 million, and it had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of August 2, 2025 that reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of August 2, 2025, the Company’s availability under the ABL Facility was $674 million.

As of August 2, 2025, the ABL Facility fees related to committed and unutilized amounts were 0.30% per annum, and the fees related to outstanding letters of credit were 1.25% per annum. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25% per annum. The interest rate on outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings was the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus 1.25% per annum.

The ABL Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 during an event of default or any period commencing on any day when specified excess availability is less than the greater of (i) $70 million or (ii) 10% of the maximum borrowing amount. As of August 2, 2025, the Company was not required to maintain this ratio.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. The Company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as of August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024:


	August 2, 2025		February 1, 2025		August 3, 2024
	(in millions)
Principal Value	$	3,916	$	3,916	$	4,230
Fair Value, Estimated (a)	3,992		3,986		4,241

_______________

(a)The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt is based on reported transaction prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Management believes that the carrying values of the Company’s Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses approximate their fair values because of their short maturities.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance, regulatory and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time may include commercial, tort, intellectual property, tax, customer, employment, wage and hour, data privacy, securities, anti-corruption and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Lease Guarantees

In connection with the spin-off of Victoria’s Secret & Co., the Company had remaining contingent obligations of $224 million as of August 2, 2025 related to lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases, primarily related to office space, expiring at various dates through 2037. These obligations include minimum rent and additional payments covering taxes, common area costs and certain other expenses and relate to leases that commenced prior to the spin-off. The Company’s reserves related to these obligations were not significant for any period presented.

10. Segment Reporting

The Company is managed at the consolidated level and therefore operates and reports as a single segment. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and the measure of profitability included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM was total Company Adjusted Operating Income, or Operating Income in periods where there are no adjustments. The Company’s CODM assesses Adjusted Operating Income performance in comparison to forecasts and historical results to make decisions on the reinvestment of profits into the business and capital allocation strategies.

The following table illustrates significant segment expenses that were regularly provided to the CODM for the second quarters of and year-to-date 2025 and 2024:


	Second Quarter				Year-to-Date

________________

(a)In the second quarter of and year-to-date 2025, the Company recognized pre-tax costs of $15 million due to the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits, which were excluded from General and Administrative Expenses in the Adjusted Operating Income details provided to the CODM.

As a single reportable segment entity, the other disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, can be found in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, including the Company’s measure of segment assets, which is total consolidated assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Bath & Body Works, Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the Company) as of August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and total equity (deficit) for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of February 1, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, total equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 14, 2025, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Accounting Standards Codification. The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview

In the second quarter of 2025, total Net Sales were $1,549 million, which increased $23 million, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Total North American Net Sales increased $26 million, primarily due to modest increases in transactions and average dollar sales, partially offset by a $3 million decline in International Net Sales. Our second quarter Operating Income was $157 million, which decreased $26 million, or 13.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2024, and our Operating Income rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) decreased to 10.2% from 12.0%. The Operating Income rate decrease was primarily due to higher General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses driven by leadership transition costs, partially offset by an increase in the Gross Profit rate.

For additional information related to our second quarter 2025 financial performance, see “Results of Operations.”

Outlook

We expect consumers to remain cautious and value-seeking, with intentional purchasing behavior that prioritizes personal well-being and convenience, while spending selectively. We believe that our brand, stores, loyalty members, passionate store associates and a predominantly U.S. based vertically integrated supply chain form a strong foundation, and our investments in recent years have strengthened this foundation. In order to deliver durable and profitable growth and drive long-term shareholder value, we are taking swift action in the short-term while we actively shape our long-term strategy by making strategic moves that resonate with both current and future customers. We are focused on elevating our owned digital platform to meet the expectations of today’s consumers by enhancing functionality and storytelling, which we believe will boost brand equity and direct channel sales. We are also amplifying our efficacy message by more clearly communicating claims and modernizing packaging to better reflect key product attributes, such as efficacy, safety, and emotional benefits, especially to younger and ingredient-conscious consumers, reinforcing the value of our products. Finally, we are focused on putting our product in the path of the consumer by strategically and thoughtfully exploring new forms of distribution beyond the owned channels we currently sell through to reach and engage new and younger consumers and drive brand discovery.

Table of Contents

We expect consumer sentiment to remain volatile as the broad-based tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, and threatened or imposed retaliatory measures by other countries, have increased macroeconomic uncertainty in global markets and we are actively monitoring the changes in shifting trade policies and related market disruptions. We believe our vertically integrated, predominantly U.S. based supply chain positions us well to compete in the current environment and to absorb the impacts of tariffs at the existing levels in the current year. We also believe we have the ability to further mitigate these costs over time through strategic sourcing, operational efficiencies, and other targeted initiatives. Continued changes in trade policies and disruptions could have substantial impacts on the global economy and may magnify the impact of the risks to our business described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Adjusted Financial Information

In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP above and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provided below are non-GAAP measures that presents Operating Income, Net Income and Net Income Per Diluted Share for the second quarters of and year-to-date 2025 and 2024 on an adjusted basis to remove certain items. We believe that these items are not indicative of our operations due to their size and nature.

We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our definitions of adjusted financial information may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The table below reconciles our GAAP financial measures to our non-GAAP financial measures:

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2024

Net Sales

The following table provides Net Sales for the second quarter of 2025 in comparison to the second quarter of 2024:


	2025		2024		% Change
	(in millions)
Stores - U.S. and Canada (a)	$	1,196	$	1,140	4.9	%
Direct - U.S. and Canada	267		297		(10.1	%)
International (b)	86		89		(2.9	%)
Total Net Sales	$	1,549	$	1,526	1.5	%

_______________

(a)Results include fulfilled buy online pick up in store (“BOPIS”) orders.

(b)Results include royalties associated with franchised stores and wholesale sales.

For the second quarter of 2025, total Net Sales were $1,549 million and increased $23 million, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Stores Net Sales increased $56 million, or 4.9%, primarily driven by an increase in transactions due to an increase in BOPIS fulfilled orders (which are recognized as store Net Sales) and new store growth, and an increase in average dollar sales. Direct Net Sales decreased $30 million, or 10.1%, driven by a decline in fulfilled orders, which was primarily due to our customers continuing to select our BOPIS option, partially offset by an increase in average order size. International Net Sales decreased $3 million, or 2.9%.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit

For the second quarter of 2025, our Gross Profit increased $14 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, to $640 million, and our Gross Profit rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) increased to 41.3%, from 41.0% in the second quarter of 2024. Gross Profit dollars increased due to higher Net Sales, and the Gross Profit rate increased due to leverage on Occupancy Expenses largely driven by the exit of a third-party fulfillment center. The second quarter of 2025 merchandise margin rate was flat to the second quarter of 2024, as strategic pricing and strong cost management mitigated the impact from tariffs.

General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses

Total	$	483	31.1	%	$	443	29.1	%	$	40	2.0	%

For the second quarter of 2025, our total General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses increased $40 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, to $483 million, and the rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) increased to 31.1% from 29.1% in the second quarter of 2024. Selling Expenses increased primarily due to higher payroll related costs, mainly driven by investments in wages and new stores, and higher healthcare costs. General and Administrative Expenses increased primarily due to $15 million of costs related to the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits.

The General, Administrative and Store Operating Expense rate increased primarily due to the leadership transition costs, increase in payroll related costs, and higher healthcare costs.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest Expense

The following table provides the average daily borrowings and average borrowing rates for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024:


	2025			2024
Average daily borrowings (in millions)	$	3,916		$	4,258
Average borrowing rate	7.1		%	7.3		%

For the second quarter of 2025, our Interest Expense was $68 million, compared to $77 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower average daily borrowings and borrowing rate, which were driven by the early extinguishment of outstanding notes in fiscal year 2024.

Other Income, Net

For the second quarter of 2025, our Other Income, Net was $6 million, compared to $47 million in the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, Other Income, Net included an aggregate $39 million pre-tax gain on sales of certain Easton investments as well as a $2 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt. The remaining decrease is primarily due to lower interest income on invested cash in the second quarter of 2025.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the second quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was 32.3% compared to 0.9% in the second quarter of 2024. The 2025 second quarter rate was higher than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rates largely due to the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits. The 2024 second quarter rate was lower than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the sales of Easton investments during the quarter, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset.

Results of Operations

Year-to-Date 2025 Compared to Year-to-Date 2024

For year-to-date 2025, Operating Income decreased $3 million to $367 million, from $370 million year-to-date 2024, and the Operating Income rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) decreased to 12.3% from 12.7%. The drivers of the year-to-date Operating Income results are discussed in the following sections.

Net Sales

The following table provides Net Sales for year-to-date 2025 in comparison to year-to-date 2024:


	2025		2024		% Change
	(in millions)
Stores - U.S. and Canada (a)	$	2,307	$	2,205	4.6	%
Direct - U.S. and Canada	517		558		(7.4	%)
International (b)	150		147		2.3	%
Total Net Sales	$	2,974	$	2,910	2.2	%

_______________

(a)Results include fulfilled BOPIS orders.

(b)Results include royalties associated with franchised stores and wholesale sales.

For year-to-date 2025, Net Sales were $2,974 million and increased $64 million, or 2.2%, compared to year-to-date 2024. Stores Net Sales increased $102 million, or 4.6%, primarily driven by an increase in transactions due to an increase in BOPIS fulfilled orders (which are recognized as store Net Sales) and new store growth, and an increase in average dollar sales. Direct Net Sales decreased $41 million, or 7.4%, driven by a decline in fulfilled orders, which was primarily due to our customers continuing to select our BOPIS option, partially offset by an increase in average order size. International Net Sales increased $3 million, or 2.3%.

Gross Profit

For year-to-date 2025, our Gross Profit increased $54 million compared to year-to-date 2024, to $1,287 million, and our Gross Profit rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) increased to 43.3% from 42.4% year-to-date 2024. Gross Profit dollars increased due to higher Net Sales as well as merchandise margin rate improvement, driven by strategic pricing and strong cost management partially offset by the impact from tariffs.

Gross Profit rate increased due to the merchandise margin rate improvement as well as leverage on Occupancy Expenses largely due to exit of a third-party fulfillment center and Net Sales growth.

General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses

The following table provides detail for our General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses for year-to-date 2025 compared to year-to-date 2024:


	2025				2024				Change

Total	$	920	30.9	%	$	863	29.6	%	$	57	1.3	%

For year-to-date 2025, our General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses increased $57 million compared to year-to-date 2024, to $920 million, and the rate (expressed as a percentage of Net Sales) increased to 30.9% from 29.6% year-to-date 2024. Selling Expenses increased primarily due to higher payroll related costs, mainly driven by investments in wages and new stores, and higher healthcare costs. General and Administrative Expenses increased primarily due to $15 million of costs related to the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits, as well as associate wages.

The General, Administrative and Store Operating Expense rate increased primarily due to the increase in payroll related costs, leadership transition costs and higher healthcare costs as well as incremental investments in marketing.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest Expense

The following table provides the average daily borrowings and average borrowing rates for year-to-date 2025 and 2024:


	2025			2024
Average daily borrowings (in millions)	$	3,916		$	4,322
Average borrowing rate	7.1		%	7.3		%

Table of Contents

For year-to-date 2025, our Interest Expense was $139 million, compared to $159 million for year-to-date 2024. The decrease was due to lower average daily borrowings and borrowing rate, which were driven by the early extinguishment of outstanding notes in fiscal year 2024.

Other Income, Net

For year-to-date 2025, our Other Income, Net was $13 million, compared to $61 million for year-to-date 2024. In year-to-date 2024, Other Income, Net included an aggregate $39 million pre-tax gain on sales of certain Easton investments as well as a $3 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt. The remaining decrease is primarily due to lower interest income on invested cash in year-to-date 2025.

Provision for Income Taxes

For year-to-date 2025, our effective tax rate was 29.9% compared to 12.1% for year-to-date 2024. The 2025 year-to-date rate was higher than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rates largely due to accrued interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and the transition of certain members of the leadership team, primarily related to severance benefits. The 2024 year-to-date rate was lower than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the sales of Easton investments, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. We are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. Cash generated from our operating activities provides the primary resources to support current operations, growth initiatives, seasonal funding requirements, future common stock and debt repurchases, and capital expenditures. Our cash provided from operations is impacted by our net income and working capital changes. Our net income is impacted by, among other things, sales volume, seasonal sales patterns, success of new product introductions and product and market expansions, profit margins, income taxes and inflationary pressures. Typically, our sales are highest during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Generally, our need for working capital peaks during the summer and fall months as inventory builds in anticipation of the holiday period. Our cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were $123 million as of August 2, 2025.

We repurchased 8.468 million shares of our common stock for $256 million during year-to-date 2025. We may, from time to time, repurchase, or otherwise retire, additional shares of our common stock or debt, as applicable.

We believe that our current cash position, our cash flows generated from operations and our borrowing capacity under our asset-backed revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including capital expenditure requirements, for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of our cash flow activity during year-to-date 2025 and 2024:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for year-to-date 2025 was $145 million, including net income of $169 million. Net income included depreciation of $128 million and share-based compensation expense of $18 million. Other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital. The most significant items in working capital were the seasonal changes in Inventories, Income Taxes Payable and Accounts Receivable, with Inventories also impacted by the higher tariff levels in the current year. Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other provided a cash flow benefit primarily due to our efforts to improve working capital.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities for year-to-date 2024 was $30 million, including net income of $239 million. Net income included depreciation of $142 million, impacts to deferred income taxes of $102 million, an aggregate pre-tax gain on sales of certain Easton investments of $39 million and share-based compensation expense of $22 million. Other changes in assets and liabilities represent items that had a current period cash flow impact, such as changes in working capital. The most significant items in working capital were the seasonal changes in Inventories, Income Taxes Payable, and Accounts Receivable, and the change in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities for year-to-date 2025 was $95 million, primarily related to capital expenditures. The capital expenditures included approximately $60 million related to new off-mall stores and remodels of existing stores and approximately $20 million for various technology projects primarily to support the growth and profitability of our business.

Net cash used for investing activities for year-to-date 2024 was $40 million primarily related to capital expenditures of $101 million, partially offset by aggregate cash proceeds of $50 million related to the sales of certain Easton investments. The capital expenditures included approximately $75 million related to new, primarily off-mall, stores and remodels of existing stores, approximately $15 million for various technology projects primarily to support the growth and profitability of our business and approximately $10 million related to distribution and logistics capabilities.

In 2025, our top priority remains driving sustainable, long-term, profitable growth through strategic investments in the business. To support this, we continue to plan capital expenditures of approximately $250 million to $270 million during the year, with a focus on real estate and technology.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities during year-to-date 2025 was $362 million, primarily consisting of $254 million for share repurchases and dividend payments of $0.40 per share, or $85 million.

Net cash used for financing activities for year-to-date 2024 was $560 million, primarily consisting of $248 million for share repurchases, $202 million for open market debt repurchases, dividend payments of $0.40 per share, or $90 million and $15 million of tax payments related to share-based awards.

Common Stock and Debt Repurchases

Our Board of Directors (our “Board”) will determine share and debt repurchase authorizations, giving consideration to our levels of profit and cash flow, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, the restrictions placed upon us by our borrowing arrangements as well as financial and other conditions existing at the time. We use cash flow generated from operating and financing activities to fund our share and debt repurchase programs. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be made at our discretion, taking into account a number of factors, including market conditions.

Common Stock Repurchases

Under the authority of our Board of Directors, we repurchased shares of our common stock under the following repurchase programs during year-to-date 2025 and 2024:


Repurchase Program	Amount Authorized		Shares Repurchased		Amount Repurchased				Average Stock Price

Asset-backed Revolving Credit Facility

We and certain of our 100% owned subsidiaries guarantee and pledge collateral to secure the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility, which allows borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. and Canadian dollars, has aggregate commitments of $750 million.

In May 2025, we entered into an amendment and restatement (“Amendment”) of the ABL Facility. The Amendment removed the interest rate credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, extended the expiration date from August 2026 to May 2030 and included certain other technical amendments.

Availability under the ABL Facility is the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on our eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, accounts receivable, inventory and eligible real property, or (ii) the aggregate commitment. If at any time the outstanding amount under the ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitment, we are required to repay the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to the extent of such excess. As of August 2, 2025, our borrowing base was $683 million, and we had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility supports our letter of credit program. We had $9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of August 2, 2025 that reduced our availability under the ABL Facility. As of August 2, 2025, our availability under the ABL Facility was $674 million.

The ABL Facility requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 during an event of default or any period commencing on any day when specified excess availability is less than the greater of (i) $70 million or (ii) 10% of the maximum borrowing amount. As of August 2, 2025, we were not required to maintain this ratio.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

Certain of our subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have guaranteed our obligations under the 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes, 2030 Notes, 2035 Notes and 2036 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”).

The Notes have been issued by Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the “Parent Company”). The Notes are its senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured obligations, are senior to any of our future subordinated indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is secured by a lien and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our ABL Facility (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”; and, such guaranteeing subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. Each Guarantee is limited, by its terms, to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of U.S. and non-U.S. law.

The following tables set forth summarized financial information for the Parent Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) investments in and equity in the earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations

Lease Guarantees

In connection with the spin-off of Victoria’s Secret & Co., we had remaining contingent obligations of $224 million as of August 2, 2025 related to lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases, primarily related to office space, expiring at various dates through 2037. These obligations include minimum rent and additional payments covering taxes, common area costs and certain other expenses and relate to leases that commenced prior to the spin-off. Our reserves related to these obligations were not significant for any period presented.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and the related interest payments, operating leases, purchase orders for merchandise inventory and other long-term obligations. These contractual obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations subsequent to February 1, 2025, as discussed in “Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of our contractual obligations may fluctuate during the normal course of business (primarily changes in our merchandise inventory-related purchase obligations which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our business).

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, that requires disclosures of disaggregated information about certain prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions. This standard is effective for annual reporting of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods in the following year, with early adoption permitted. This standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, valuation of long-lived store assets, claims and contingencies, income taxes and revenue recognition, including revenue associated with our loyalty program. Management bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. We may use derivative financial instruments like foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swap arrangements to manage exposure to market risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Our Canadian dollar denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all our merchandise sold in Canada is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. Although we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to partially offset risks associated with our operations in Canada, these measures may not succeed in offsetting all the short-term impact of foreign currency rate movements and generally may not be effective in offsetting the long-term impact of sustained shifts in foreign currency rates.

Table of Contents

Further, although our royalty arrangements with our international partners are denominated in U.S. dollars, the royalties we receive in U.S. dollars are calculated based on sales in the local currency. As a result, our royalties in these arrangements are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of interest-bearing instruments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents based on their original maturities. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy, which specifies permitted types of investments, specifies credit quality standards and maturity profiles and limits credit exposure to any single issuer. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of principal, the maintenance of liquidity and the maximization of interest income while minimizing risk. Our investment portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits. Given the short-term nature and quality of investments in our portfolio, we do not believe there is any material risk to principal associated with increases or decreases in interest rates.

All of our outstanding Long-term Debt as of August 2, 2025 has fixed interest rates. We will from time to time adjust our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap arrangements. Our exposure to interest rate changes is limited to the fair value of the debt issued, which would not have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. We monitor the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom we transact and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. Our investment portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits. We also periodically review the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business.

Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of our outstanding debt as of August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024:


	August 2, 2025		February 1, 2025		August 3, 2024
	(in millions)
Principal Value	$	3,916	$	3,916	$	4,230
Fair Value, Estimated (a)	3,992		3,986		4,241

_______________

(a) The estimated fair values are based on reported transaction prices and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.

As of August 2, 2025, we believe that the carrying values of our Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses approximate their fair values because of their short maturities.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the second quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
