Macy’s, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Results

Holiday performance marked third consecutive quarter of sequential improvement driven by strong digital sales growth

Polaris strategy positions company for growth in sales, profitability and free cash flow, with a focus on improving the customer omnichannel experience

NEW YORK--February 23, 2021--Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2020.

“Macy’s, Inc.’s fourth quarter results exceeded our expectations across all three of our brands, as we showed continued quarter-to-quarter sales performance improvements and returned to profitability,” said Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer. “Performance was driven by the home, beauty, jewelry and watch categories, growth in digital sales and by acquiring new customers. Our investments in digital innovation continued to pay off in the quarter, with digital sales up 21% from 2019. We anticipate annual digital sales to reach $10 billion within the next three years, and that digital will become an even more profitable contributor to our business. Additionally, we exited the quarter with a lower cost base and a strong liquidity position, supported by a $3 billion asset-based lending facility that we have not drawn upon.”

“We have made progress on the Polaris transformation strategy we introduced a year ago. We are accelerating several elements, including our focus on digital and omnichannel sales, improving customer value and building the infrastructure to support the growth of our business. We believe these actions will propel us to stronger performance in 2021 and beyond,” continued Gennette. “2020 was a year of unprecedented disruption. We are incredibly proud of our team for their hard work to make our customers feel safe and comfortable when shopping with us. And we are grateful to our brand partners for navigating through the pandemic with us.”

Fourth Quarter Highlights

The company’s omnichannel performance during the fourth quarter, driven by digital growth, creates a strong foundation for the future success of the Polaris strategy.

• Diluted earnings per share of $0.50 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.80 both exceeded the expectations for the quarter the company set in the fall.

• Comparable sales down 17.0% on an owned basis and down 17.1% on an owned plus licensed basis, a reflection of the continued challenges posed by the COVID pandemic. This performance beat the company’s expectations, driven by successful execution of the company’s holiday strategy, from off-price to luxury.

o Digital remained a growing and increasingly profitable platform. Sales grew 21% over fourth quarter 2019, with digital penetration at 44% of net sales.

o Approximately 25% of Macy’s digital sales were fulfilled from stores, including curbside pickup and same-day delivery.

• The company’s Star Rewards Loyalty program saw a 45% increase of its Bronze tier members in 2020, an essential part of its under-40 strategy.

• Net credit card revenue of $258 million up $19 million from fourth quarter 2019.

• Gross margin for the quarter was 33.7%, down 310 basis points from fourth quarter 2019.

o Delivery expense increased approximately 300 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2019, partially due to holiday surcharges.

• Inventory down 27% from fourth quarter 2019.

o Aggressively addressed slow-selling merchandise, reduced excess inventory levels and improved visual presentation in stores.

o Exited the year in a healthy inventory position.

• Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2.0 billion; improved $464 million from fourth quarter 2019.

o SG&A as a percent of sales was 30.2%, generally in line with the fourth quarter of 2019.

o Illustrates efficient execution of expense management.

• Ended the year with a strong liquidity position and continued de-levering of the balance sheet.

o Approximately $1.7 billion in cash as of the end of the year, benefiting from efficiencies gained in working capital and a refocusing of capital spend on highest priority projects.

o Retained approximately $3 billion in untapped capacity in the company’s revolving asset-based credit facility.

o Repaid approximately $530 million of debt in January 2021 at maturity.

Polaris Strategy Update

“The Polaris strategy proved to be a critical enabler of our performance in 2020, allowing us to adapt and innovate with agility during the pandemic. Early actions guided by Polaris helped us broaden fashion categories, including home, beauty and casual apparel, and improve the digital experience. Additionally, the cost controls we committed to in February were key in helping us weather the pandemic. When we needed to make hard choices on our investments, Polaris gave us the clarity to focus first on the areas most critical to growth,” concluded Gennette.

The company is updating its Polaris strategy to accelerate growth as a digitally led, omnichannel retailer while improving profitability and returning to cash flow growth.

Macy's, Inc. anticipates 2021 as a recovery and rebuilding year as the company sets a foundation for growth. The company’s annual guidance contemplates continued pandemic-related challenges in the spring season with momentum building in the back half of 2021.

Notes:

(1) The 52 weeks ended January 30, 2021 include non-cash impairment charges totaling $3.3 billion, which consist of a $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge and an $0.2 billion impairment charge on long-lived tangible and right of use assets.

(2) The income tax expense of $154 million and the income tax benefit of $846 million, or 49.0% and 17.7% of pretax income and loss, respectively, for the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 30, 2021 reflect a different effective tax rate as compared to the company's federal income tax statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the carryback of net operating losses as permitted under the CARES Act.  For the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2021, the benefit of the available carryback of net operating losses was offset by the impact of the non-tax deductible component of the goodwill impairment charge.  

(3) Gross margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales.

(4) Restricted cash of $75 million and $46 million have been included with cash and cash equivalents for the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively.

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 owned plus licensed basis and changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis, which includes adjusting for the impact of comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties, assists in evaluating the company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated.  Earnings (loss) 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 (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) 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 reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis to GAAP comparable sales (i.e., on an owned basis) is in the same manner as illustrated below, except that the impact of comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties is the only reconciling item. In addition, the company does not provide the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders excluding certain items 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 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:

(5) Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation throughout the year presented and the immediately preceding year and all online sales, excluding commissions from departments licensed to third parties.  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. No stores have been excluded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales may differ among companies in the retail industry.

(6) 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 in the calculation of comparable sales.  The company licenses third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receives commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales.  In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the company includes these commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales.  The company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of licensed department 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 are not material to its net sales for the periods presented.
