The Record Date is March 30, 2026 (outstanding: 11,630,838 Class A; 3,986,233 Class B).

Dillard’s, Inc. reports steady results for fiscal 2025 while maintaining a conservative balance sheet. Net sales were $6.47 billion, essentially flat year over year, with consolidated gross margin at 39.5% and retail gross margin at 40.8%.
Net income was $570.2 million, or $36.42 per share, slightly below the prior year’s $593.5 million. Operating expenses rose to 27.2% of net sales, driven mainly by higher payroll and related costs, while inventory increased 2%.
Cash flow from operations remained strong at $717.0 million. The company returned $592.6 million to shareholders through $484.9 million of dividends, including a record special dividend, and $107.8 million of share repurchases, leaving $165.2 million of repurchase authorization. At year-end, Dillard’s held $1.07 billion in cash and short-term investments, working capital of $1.48 billion, and total debt of $521.7 million, while operating 271 stores and an e-commerce platform.
DILLARD'S, INC. director James I. Freeman reported a bona fide gift of 75 shares of Common Class A stock. The shares were transferred at a stated price of $0.00 per share, reflecting that this was a non-market gift transaction rather than a sale or purchase. Following the transfer, Freeman directly holds 74,311 shares of Dillard's Common Class A stock, indicating that the gifted amount represents a small portion of his reported holdings.
Dillard’s, Inc. has signed a Merger Agreement to acquire W.D. Company, Inc. (WDC), a family holding company that owns Dillard’s stock for the Dillard family. WDC will merge into Dillard’s, and Dillard’s will be the surviving company.
At closing, WDC shareholders will receive their pro rata share of up to 41,496 shares of Dillard’s Class A common stock and up to 3,985,776 shares of Dillard’s Class B common stock, plus WDC’s cash and a small portfolio of other securities in cash value. The Dillard’s shares currently held by WDC will become treasury stock and then be cancelled, so overall ownership percentages for WDC shareholders remain the same or slightly lower, and existing Dillard’s shareholders will experience no dilution.
Completion of the merger requires approval from both Dillard’s and WDC shareholders, certain regulatory clearances, and limits on dissenting shares at both companies. Dillard’s plans to seek the required shareholder approval at its 2026 annual meeting scheduled for May 28, 2026, and the merger may terminate if not completed by August 1, 2026.
