Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 7, 2013, Macy’s, Inc. (“Macy’s”) issued a press release announcing Macy’s sales for the fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release referred to above contains certain non-GAAP financial measures of expected diluted earnings per share for the fiscal quarter ended February 2, 2013, excluding costs associated with debt tender offers and costs and expenses primarily related to store closings announced in January 2013. Management believes that diluted earnings per share, excluding costs associated with debt tender offers and costs and expenses primarily related to store closings announced in January 2013, is a useful measure in evaluating Macy's ability to generate earnings from operations and that providing such a measure will allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to in the press release to the earnings provided by Macy's in past and future periods. Management believes that excluding costs associated with debt tender offers and costs and expenses primarily related to store closings announced in January 2013 from this calculation is particularly useful where the amount of such items are not consistent in the periods presented. However, the reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures provided by Macy's are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, Macy's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain items that may have a significant impact on Macy's financial position, results of operations and cash flows must be considered when assessing Macy's actual financial condition and performance regardless of whether these items are included in these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, the methods used by Macy's 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 provided by Macy's may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
