1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Macy's, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three brands (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and kids), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company operates approximately 870 stores in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico. As of November 3, 2018, the Company's operations were conducted through Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Macy's Backstage, bluemercury and STORY.
Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Al Zahra, Kuwait are operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.
A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 (the "2017 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 2017 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.
Seasonality
Because of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the full fiscal year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to prior years’ amounts to conform to the classifications of such amounts in the most recent years and adoption of new accounting standards as discussed in more detail below.
Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net income. For the Company, the only other components of total comprehensive income for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. Settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of income before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (income) and are included in benefit plan income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 4, "Benefit Plans," for further information.
Net sales
Revenue is recognized when customers obtain control of goods and services promised by the Company. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those respective goods and services. The Company's revenue generating activities include the following:

(Unaudited)
Retail Sales
Retail sales include merchandise sales, licensed department income, sales of private brand goods directly to third party retailers and sales of excess inventory to third parties. Sales of merchandise are recorded at the time of shipment to the customer and are reported net of estimated merchandise returns and certain customer incentives. Commissions earned on sales generated by licensed departments are included as a component of total net sales and are recognized as revenue at the time merchandise is sold to customers. Service revenues (e.g., alteration and cosmetic services) are recorded at the time the customer receives the benefit of the service. The Company has elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities.
For the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, Macy's accounted for 88% of the Company's net sales. Disaggregation of the Company's net sales by family of business for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 were as follows:

(a) Other primarily includes restaurant sales, certain loyalty program income and breakage income from unredeemed gift cards.
Merchandise Returns
The Company estimates merchandise returns using historical data and recognizes an allowance that reduces net sales and cost of sales. The liability for merchandise returns is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $265 million, $291 million and $260 million as of November 3, 2018, February 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is an asset totaling $180 million, $201 million and $178 million as of November 3, 2018, February 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively, for the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned by customers.
Gift Cards and Customer Loyalty Programs
The Company only offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. At the time gift cards are sold or issued, no revenue is recognized; rather, the Company records an accrued liability to customers. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized equal to the amount redeemed at the time gift cards are redeemed for merchandise. The Company records revenue from unredeemed gift cards (breakage) in net sales on a pro-rata basis over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. At least three years of historical data, updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns.
The Company maintains customer loyalty programs in which customers earn points based on their purchases. Under the Macy’s brand, points are earned based on customers’ spending on Macy’s private label and co-branded credit cards as well as non-proprietary cards during certain tender-neutral promotional events. Under the Bloomingdale’s brand, the Company offers a tender neutral points-based program. The Company recognizes the estimated net amount of the rewards that will be earned and redeemed as a reduction to net sales at the time of the initial transaction and as tender when the points are subsequently redeemed by a customer.
The liability for unredeemed gift cards and customer loyalty programs is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $711 million, $894 million and $707 million as of November 3, 2018, February 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively.
Credit Card Revenues, net
In 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with Citibank to sell the Company's private label and co-branded credit cards ("Credit Card Program"). Subsequent to this initial arrangement and associated amendments, in 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Card Program Agreement (the "Program Agreement") with Citibank. As part of the Program Agreement, the Company receives payments for providing a combination of interrelated services and intellectual property to Citibank in support of the underlying Credit Card Program. Revenue based on the spending activity of the

underlying accounts is recognized as the respective card purchases occur and the Company’s profit share is recognized based on the performance of the underlying portfolio. Revenue associated with the establishment of new credit accounts and assisting in the receipt of payments for existing accounts is recognized as such activities occur. Credit card revenues include finance charges, late fees and other revenue generated by the Company’s Credit Card Program, net of fraud losses and expenses associated with establishing new accounts.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which established principles to report useful information to financial statements users about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 along with various related amendments comprise ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and provide guidance that is applicable to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. The new standard and its related updates were adopted by the Company on February 4, 2018. On the effective date, the Company elected to apply the new guidance retrospectively to each prior period presented which resulted in an increase to retained earnings of $72 million and $54 million at the beginning of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively.
Overall, the new standard did not have a material impact on the results of the Company's operations or consolidated statements of financial position, but impacted the presentation and timing of certain revenue transactions. Specifically, the changes included gross presentation of the Company's estimates for future sales returns and related recoverable assets, presenting income from credit operations, gift card breakage income, and certain loyalty program income as separate components of revenue and recognizing gift card breakage revenue over the period of redemption for gift cards associated with certain returns. The Company's evaluation of the new standards included a review of certain vendor arrangements to determine whether the Company acts as principal or agent in such arrangements and such evaluation did not result in any material changes in gross versus net presentation as a result of the adoption of the new standards.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (ASC Topic 715), which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs and to disclose the amounts of net periodic benefit costs that are included in each income statement line item. The standard requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside a subtotal of operating income. The Company adopted this standard effective February 4, 2018 on a retrospective basis to each prior period presented and has recognized its net periodic benefit costs, excluding service costs, in benefit plan income, net on its Consolidated Statements of Income.
In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC Topic 230): Restricted Cash, and ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. These standards were issued to resolve numerous diversities in practice with regard to the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The standards were effective for the Company on February 4, 2018, and were adopted using a retrospective transition method to each prior period presented. As a result of these standards, the Company included its beginning-of-period restricted cash balances of $58 million and end-of-period restricted cash balances of $41 million when reconciling the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow movement for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018. Similarly, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, the Company included its beginning-of-period restricted cash balances of $37 million and end-of-period restricted cash balances of $54 million. In addition to these changes, the Company changed the classification of $10 million of cash payments for the prepayment of debt from an operating outflow to a financing outflow for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows for stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from H.R. 1, originally known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” to be reclassified to retained earnings. The Company early adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2018 and, as a result, reclassified $164 million of stranded tax effects to retained earnings.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to "third quarter of 2018" and "third quarter of 2017" are to the Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively, and all references to "2018" and "2017" are to the Company's 39-week fiscal periods ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in the 2017 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company's actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report (particularly in "Forward-Looking Statements") and in the 2017 10-K (particularly in "Risk Factors" and in "Forward-Looking Statements"). This discussion includes non-GAAP financial measures. For information about these measures, see the disclosure under the caption "Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on pages 29 to 31.
Overview
The Company is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three brands (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and kids), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company operates approximately 870 stores in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico. As of November 3, 2018, the Company's operations were conducted through Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Macy's Backstage, bluemercury and STORY.
Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Al Zahra, Kuwait are operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.
Quarter Highlights
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed foundational work for the 2018 five key strategic initiatives of the North Star strategy. These initiatives continued to contribute to the results of 2018. Specifically:
• | The Macy's Star Rewards loyalty program marked its one-year anniversary and continued to offer improved benefits to its members, including exclusive experiences for the program's platinum loyalty members. |
• | Completing the fiscal 2018 expansion of Backstage, Macy's mall-based off-price business, the Company opened 56 new locations within existing Macy’s stores during the third quarter of 2018. This expansion brings the total Backstage locations to 173 (seven freestanding and 166 inside Macy's stores) as of November 3, 2018. |
• | The Company's vendor direct program (i.e., merchandise purchased from the Company's websites and digital applications and shipped directly to customers from the respective vendor) continued its expansion during the third quarter of 2018, with increased assortment and the addition of new categories and brands. |
• | The Company completed the enhancement of customer options for pick-up, delivery and checkout at Macy's, including the expansion of Buy Online Ship to Store and construction of At Your Service stations in all stores. |
• | The Growth50 locations contributed to the strong operating results for the third quarter of 2018. As a result of the performance of the Growth50 locations, the Company will expand the initiative to another 100 stores in fiscal 2019. |
The Company recently announced a retail store strategy for Macy's that focuses on identifying a scalable investment strategy for all of the brand's stores, improving the customer's experience and growing total sales profitably. This strategy includes categorization of the Company's Macy's stores into three groups:
• | Flagship stores include Herald Square and 10 other regional flagship stores which serve as premier retail destinations within their respective regions. |
• | Magnet stores include the Growth50 stores, which as noted previously will be expanded to another 100 stores in fiscal 2019. These stores are retail destinations within major markets that offer an expanded selection of merchandise. |
• | Neighborhood stores are smaller, profitable locations that are visited primarily for convenience and on-line order fulfillment. The Company is testing, and will continue to test in fiscal 2019, different investment models aimed at increasing shopping ease and convenience. Once the right model is determined, it will be rolled-out to the remaining neighborhood stores. |

MACY'S, INC.
Further building upon its acquisition of STORY and investment in b8ta in the first half of 2018, the Company continued its enhancement of in-store experiences and personalization through advanced technology and partnerships. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed the roll-out of virtual reality furniture at 69 stores and began offering augmented reality beauty experiences in certain stores. Additionally, the Company announced the expansion of the number of e-commerce brands that will be available at The Market @ Macy's during the fourth quarter of 2018.
In addition to the above, the Company has continued to grow its luxury beauty products and spa retailer, bluemercury, by opening additional freestanding bluemercury stores in urban and suburban markets, and adding bluemercury products and boutiques to Macy's stores. Eight new freestanding bluemercury locations were opened in the third quarter of 2018, and four additional freestanding locations are expected to open later in the fiscal year. As of November 3, 2018, the Company is operating 180 bluemercury locations (160 freestanding and 20 inside Macy's stores).

23
MACY'S, INC.
Credit Card Revenues, Net
Credit card revenues, net were $185 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $40 million compared to $145 million recognized in the third quarter of 2017. Increased proprietary card usage driven by the enhanced Macy's Star Rewards loyalty program and higher consumer credit balances drove the favorable results. Proprietary card penetration increased to 48.4% in the third quarter of 2018 from 47.4% in the third quarter of 2017.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $74 million compared to the third quarter of 2017, remaining flat as a percent to net sales with the third quarter of 2017 at 59.7%. The increase in cost of sales dollars was driven by higher sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the third quarter of 2018 increased $67 million from the third quarter of 2017. The SG&A rate as a percent to net sales of 41.7% was 30 basis points higher in the third quarter of 2018, as compared to the third quarter of 2017. This increase in SG&A expenses was driven primarily by investments in the expansion of Backstage as well as the Company's new employee incentive plan.
Gains on Sale of Real Estate
The third quarter of 2018 included asset sale gains of $42 million, including $23 million related to the continued recognition of the deferred gain from the Macy's Brooklyn transaction closed in fiscal 2015. This compares to $65 million of asset sale gains recognized in the third quarter of 2017, including approximately $40 million related to the Macy's downtown Seattle location and $22 million related to the Macy's Brooklyn transaction.
Restructuring and Other Costs
The third quarters of 2018 and 2017 included $3 million and $33 million, respectively, of restructuring and other costs related to severance activity and other human resource costs associated with organizational restructuring.
Benefit Plan Income, Net
The third quarters of 2018 and 2017 included $9 million and $15 million, respectively, of non-cash net benefit plan income relating to the Company's defined benefit plans. This income includes the net of: interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of prior service costs or credits and actuarial gains and losses.
Settlement Charges
The third quarters of 2018 and 2017 included $23 million and $22 million, respectively, of non-cash settlement charges relating to the Company's defined benefit plans. These charges relate to the pro-rata recognition of net actuarial losses and are the result of an increase in lump sum distributions primarily associated with retiree distribution elections and restructuring activity.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2018 decreased $15 million from the third quarter of 2017 due to a reduction in the Company's debt resulting from tender offer repurchases in fiscal 2017 and open market repurchases in fiscal 2018.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate of 16.2% for the third quarter of 2018 and 27.0% for the third quarter of 2017 differ from the federal income tax statutory rate of 21% and 35%, respectively, because of the resolution of certain tax settlements and tax examinations. In addition to these items, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was lower than the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 due to the enactment of U.S. federal tax reform in December 2017, which lowered the Company's federal income tax statutory rate as outlined above.
Net Income Attributable to Macy's, Inc. Shareholders
Net income attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders for the third quarter of 2018 increased $32 million compared to the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 included higher sales, net credit card revenue and gross margin, as well as lower interest expense and a lower effective tax rate than the third quarter of 2017.
Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Macy's, Inc. Shareholders
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2018 increased $0.10 compared to the third quarter of 2017, reflecting higher net income.

Net Sales and Comparable Sales
Net sales for 2018 increased $249 million or 1.5% compared to 2017. Comparable sales on an owned basis during 2018 increased 2.4% compared to 2017. On an owned plus licensed basis comparable sales increased 2.7% during 2018. Sales during 2018 benefited from the Company's implementation of the five key strategic initiatives of the North Star strategy, strong consumer spending and improved inventory management. The Company’s digital business continued its strong growth with double-digit gains in 2018. Sales during 2018 were the strongest in fine jewelry, fragrances, men's, women's shoes, dresses, kids, and active. Sales were not as strong in women's sportswear and fashion watches during 2018.
Credit Card Revenues, Net
Credit card revenues, net were $528 million in 2018, an increase of $55 million compared to $473 million recognized in 2017. Increased proprietary card usage driven by the enhanced Macy's Star Rewards loyalty program and higher consumer credit balances drove the favorable results. Proprietary card penetration increased to 46.8% in 2018 from 46.3% in 2017.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales rate as a percent to net sales for 2018 decreased to 60.1% compared to 60.6% for 2017, while cost of sales increased $69 million compared to 2017 due to improved sales. The decrease in the cost of sales rate as a percent to net sales was primarily due to the Company's improved inventory management, which resulted in lower markdowns.
25
MACY'S, INC.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses for 2018 increased $95 million from 2017. The SG&A rate as a percent to net sales of 39.4% was flat in 2018 as compared to 2017. The SG&A rate was impacted by the savings of the Company's prior restructuring activity, offset by the expansion of Backstage as well as the Company's new employee incentive plan.
Gains on Sale of Real Estate
2018 included asset sale gains of $111 million, including $58 million related to the continued recognition of the deferred gain from the Macy's Brooklyn transaction closed in fiscal 2015. This compares to $176 million of asset sale gains recognized in 2017, including $47 million related to the Macy's downtown Minneapolis location, $49 million related to the Macy's Brooklyn transaction, and $40 million related to the Macy's downtown Seattle location.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Costs
2018 and 2017 included $39 million and $33 million, respectively, of costs primarily associated with the wind-down of Macy's China Limited, as well as severance activity and other human resource costs related to organizational restructuring.
Benefit Plan Income, Net
2018 and 2017 included $31 million and $42 million, respectively, of non-cash net benefit plan income relating to the Company's defined benefit plans. This income includes the net of: interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses.
Settlement Charges
2018 and 2017 each included $73 million of non-cash settlement charges relating to the Company's defined benefit plans. These charges relate to the pro-rata recognition of net actuarial losses and are the result of an increase in lump sum distributions primarily associated with retiree distribution elections and restructuring activity.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense for 2018 decreased $50 million from 2017 due to a reduction in the Company's debt as a result of the activity previously discussed within the quarterly results of operations as well as open market repurchases during fiscal 2017.

As a result of the debt repurchases, the Company recognized $1 million in expenses and fees net of the write-off of unamortized debt premiums in 2017.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate of 21.1% for 2018 and 39.4% for 2017 include the effects of certain tax settlements and tax examinations as well as the impact of the U.S. federal tax reform in December 2017, which lowered the Company's federal income tax statutory rate from 35% to 21%. Further, 2017 included the recognition of approximately $12 million, respectively, of net tax deficiencies associated with share-based payment awards.
Net Income Attributable to Macy's, Inc. Shareholders
Net income attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders for 2018 increased $149 million compared to 2017. The increase in 2018 was due to higher sales, net credit card revenue and gross margin, as well as lower interest expense and a lower effective tax rate. These increases were offset by lower gains associated with the sale of real estate as well as higher SG&A expenses in 2018 as compared to 2017.
Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Macy's, Inc. Shareholders
Diluted earnings per share for 2018 increased $0.47 compared to 2017, reflecting higher net income.

MACY'S, INC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and the credit facility described below.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2018 was $429 million, compared to $399 million provided in 2017. Operating cash flows in 2018 were driven by the Company's higher net income as discussed within the results of operations and due to the Company's debt repurchase activity as well as lower income tax payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $549 million in 2018, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $329 million in 2017. The increase in 2018 was driven by the Company's investments in its five key strategic initiatives of the North Star strategy. Offsetting this outflow, the Company received cash of $121 million from execution of real estate transactions in 2018, including the sale of the upper seven floors of the Macy's State Street store in Chicago. In 2017, the Company received $212 million of real estate sale proceeds that included $59 million from the sale of the Macy's downtown Minneapolis location.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by the Company for financing activities was $616 million for 2018, including payment of $347 million of cash dividends. This outflow was partially offset by $41 million of proceeds received from the issuance of common stock, primarily due to an increase in stock option exercise activity. During 2018, the Company repurchased approximately $344 million face value of senior notes and debentures. The debt repurchases were made in the open market for a total cost of approximately $354 million, including expenses and other fees related to the transactions.
Net cash used by the Company for financing activities was $816 million for 2017, including debt payments of $564 million and payment of $346 million of cash dividends. In 2017, the Company repurchased approximately $247 million face value of senior notes and debentures. The debt repurchases were made in the open market for a total cash cost of $257 million, including expenses and other fees related to the transactions. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2017, the Company repaid at maturity $300 million of 7.45% senior debentures due July 2017.
On November 28, 2018, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $600 million in aggregate principal amount of certain senior unsecured notes and debentures, with stated interest rates ranging from 2.875% to 8.75% and maturities ranging from fiscal years 2023 to 2042. The tender offer expires on December 26, 2018, with an early tender date on December 11, 2018.
The Company is party to a credit agreement with certain financial institutions providing for revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500 million (which may be increased to $1,750 million at the option of the Company, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to provide commitments for such additional financing) outstanding at any particular time. The agreement is set to expire May 6, 2021. As of November 3, 2018, the Company did not have any borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under its credit facility.
The Company is party to a $1,500 million unsecured commercial paper program. The Company may issue and sell commercial paper in an aggregate amount outstanding at any particular time not to exceed its then-current combined borrowing availability under its bank credit agreement. As of November 3, 2018, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its commercial paper program.
As of November 3, 2018, the Company was required under its credit agreement to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio for the latest four quarters of no less than 3.25 and a specified leverage ratio as of and for the latest four quarters of no more than 3.75 under the credit agreement. The Company's interest coverage ratio for the third quarter of 2018 was 10.88 and its leverage ratio at November 3, 2018 was 1.88, in each case as calculated in accordance with the credit agreement. As of November 3, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the ratios.
On October 26, 2018, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 37.75 cents per share on its common stock, payable January 2, 2019, to Macy's shareholders of record at the close of business on December 14, 2018.

MACY'S, INC.
Capital Resources
Management believes that, with respect to the Company's current operations, its cash on hand and funds from operations, together with its credit facility and other capital resources, will be sufficient to cover the Company's reasonably foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements and other cash requirements in both the near term and over the longer term. The Company's ability to generate funds from operations may be affected by numerous factors, including general economic conditions and levels of consumer confidence and demand; however, the Company expects to be able to manage its working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts so as to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. To the extent that the Company's cash balances from time to time exceed amounts that are needed to fund its immediate liquidity requirements, the Company will consider alternative uses of some or all of such excess cash. Such alternative uses may include, among others, the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations. Depending upon its actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider the issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible capital markets transactions, for the purpose of raising capital which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate purposes, including the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations.
The Company intends from time to time to consider additional acquisitions of, and investments in, retail businesses and other complementary assets and companies. Acquisition transactions, if any, are expected to be financed from one or more of the following sources: cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under existing or new credit facilities and the issuance of long-term debt or other securities, including common stock.
Outlook and Recent Developments
On November 14, 2018, the Company issued a press release to report preliminary earnings for its third quarter and updated sales and earnings guidance for fiscal 2018 as follows:
• | Total net sales are expected to range from up 0.3% to up 0.7% compared to fiscal 2017. |
• | Annual comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis are expected to increase between 2.3% and 2.5%. Annual comparable sales on an owned basis are expected to be 20-30 basis points below comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis. |
•Net credit card revenue is expected to be approximately $740 million to $755 million.
•Effective tax rate is expected to be 22.75%.
• | Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be $4.10 to $4.30. This reflects an increase of 15 cents compared to the prior revised guidance provided at the end of the Company's second quarter of 2018. |
All other annual guidance including gross margin, SG&A, asset sale gains, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures are unchanged from the guidance previously provided by the Company.
Total net sales guidance is provided on a 52-week basis in 2018 compared to a 53-week basis in 2017. Comparable sales guidance is provided on a 52-week basis in both 2018 and 2017. The above fiscal 2018 guidance and fiscal 2017 comparable amounts reflect the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition and retirement benefits.

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 owned plus licensed basis, which includes adjusting for growth in 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, on a comparable basis, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders that are no longer associated with the Company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company's ability to generate earnings and leverage sales 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 growth in 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 net income and 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.

Change in Comparable Sales
The following is a tabular reconciliation of the 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), which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Third Quarter of 2018 | 2018 | |||||
Increase in comparable sales on an owned basis (note 1) | 3.1 | % | 2.4 | % | ||
Impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties (note 2) | 0.2 | % | 0.3 | % | ||
Increase in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis | 3.3 | % | 2.7 | % |
Notes:
(1) | 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. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales differ among companies in the retail industry. |
(2) | 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 the sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales. The Company does not, however, include any amounts with respect to 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 Company believes that the amounts of commissions earned on sales of departments licensed to third parties are not material to its results of operations for the periods presented. |

New Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements — Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company on February 3, 2019 and will be adopted utilizing a modified retrospective approach that allows for transition in the period of adoption, with certain practical expedients available.
While the Company is continuing to assess all impacts of the standard, total assets and liabilities are expected to increase by $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion as of the date of adoption. The standard is not expected to materially affect consolidated net income, which is expected to be impacted by changes to the timing of recognition of certain real estate asset sale gains due to application of the new sale-leaseback guidance and ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of NonFinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). These estimates are based on the Company's current lease portfolio and may change if the lease portfolio changes and as the Company continues to evaluate the new standard. A significant change in leasing activity between the date of this report and adoption is not expected. The Company's estimates will be updated each quarter as changes occur.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk as described in the Company's 2017 10-K. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the 2017 10-K.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have carried out, as of November 3, 2018, with the participation of the Company's management, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of November 3, 2018 the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
From time to time major organizational restructuring and realignment occurs for which the Company reviews its internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this review, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
