buildings and/or tax charges. The Firm makes use of sure non-GAAP monetary
measures as efficiency measures for elements of govt compensation.

comparable forward-looking GAAP measures as a result of the timing and quantity of
excluded gadgets are unreasonably troublesome to completely and precisely estimate. For

Merchandise inventories
Merchandise inventories are valued on the decrease of price or market utilizing the last-in, first-out (LIFO) retail stock methodology. Below the retail stock methodology, stock is segregated into departments of merchandise having comparable traits and its price worth is derived from the present retail promoting worth. The retail stock methodology inherently requires administration judgments and estimates, corresponding to the quantity and timing of everlasting markdowns to clear unproductive or slow-moving stock, which can influence the ending stock valuation in addition to gross margins. Everlasting markdowns designated for clearance exercise are recorded when the utility of the stock has diminished. Elements thought of within the dedication of everlasting markdowns embrace present and anticipated demand, buyer preferences, age of the merchandise and style developments. When a choice is made to completely mark down merchandise, the ensuing gross margin discount is acknowledged within the interval the markdown is recorded.
Restructuring expenses and impairment of long-lived property
The carrying values of long-lived property, inclusive of proper of use (ROU) property, are periodically reviewed by the Firm each time occasions or adjustments in circumstances point out that the carrying worth will not be recoverable, corresponding to historic working losses or plans to shut shops earlier than the top of their beforehand estimated helpful lives. Moreover, on an annual foundation, the recoverability of the carrying values of particular person shops is evaluated. A potential impairment has occurred if projected future undiscounted money flows are lower than the carrying worth of the property.

If estimated money flows considerably differ sooner or later, the Firm could also be required to report asset impairment write-downs. If the Firm commits to a plan to get rid of a long-lived asset earlier than the top of its beforehand estimated helpful life or adjustments its use of company property, estimated money flows are revised accordingly, and the Firm could also be required to report an asset impairment cost.

The quantities the Firm will in the end notice or disburse may differ from the quantities assumed in arriving on the asset impairment and restructuring cost recorded.
Goodwill and intangible property
The Firm evaluations the carrying worth of its goodwill and different intangible
property with indefinite lives a minimum of yearly, as of the top of fiscal Might, or
extra ceaselessly if an occasion happens or circumstances change, for doable
impairment in accordance with ASC Subject 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Different.
For impairment testing, goodwill has been assigned to reporting items which
include the Firm's retail working divisions. Macy's and bluemercury are
the one reporting items with goodwill as of January 28, 2023, and 98% of the
Firm's goodwill is allotted to the Macy's reporting unit.
The Firm could elect to guage qualitative components to find out whether it is extra
possible than not that the honest worth of a reporting unit or honest worth of
indefinite lived intangible property is lower than its carrying worth. If the
qualitative analysis signifies that it's extra possible than not that the honest
worth of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset is lower than its
carrying quantity, a quantitative impairment check is required. Alternatively, the
Firm could bypass the qualitative evaluation for a reporting unit or indefinite
lived intangible asset and straight carry out the quantitative evaluation. This
dedication will be made on a person reporting unit or asset foundation, and
efficiency of the qualitative evaluation could resume in a subsequent interval.
The quantitative impairment check entails estimating the honest worth of every
reporting unit and indefinite lived intangible asset and evaluating these
estimated honest values with the respective reporting unit or indefinite lived
intangible asset carrying worth. If the carrying worth of a reporting unit
exceeds its honest worth, an impairment loss will likely be acknowledged in an quantity equal
to such extra, restricted to the whole quantity of goodwill allotted to the
reporting unit. If the carrying worth of a person indefinite lived
intangible asset exceeds its honest worth, such particular person indefinite lived
intangible asset is written down by an quantity equal to such extra.

Estimating the honest values of reporting items and indefinite lived intangible property entails the usage of important assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a wide range of components, together with projected gross sales, gross margin and SG&A expense charges, capital expenditures, money flows and the choice and use of an applicable low cost charge and market values and multiples of earnings and revenues of comparable public corporations. Projected gross sales, gross margin and SG&A expense charge assumptions and capital expenditures are based mostly on the Firm's annual marketing strategy or different forecasted outcomes. Low cost charges mirror market-based estimates of the dangers related to the projected money flows of the reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset. The usage of completely different assumptions, estimates or judgments within the goodwill impairment testing course of, together with with respect to the estimated future money flows of the Firm's reporting items, the low cost charge used to low cost such estimated money flows to their internet current worth, and the reasonableness of the resultant implied management premium relative to the Firm's market capitalization, may materially enhance or lower the honest worth of the reporting unit and/or its internet property and, accordingly, may materially enhance or lower any associated impairment cost. For the Firm's annual impairment evaluation as of the top of fiscal Might 2022 and 2021, the Firm elected to carry out a qualitative impairment check on its goodwill and intangible property with indefinite lives and concluded that it's extra possible than not that the honest values exceeded the carrying values and goodwill and intangible property with indefinite lives weren't impaired.
The Firm continues to observe the important thing honest worth inputs of its reporting items. A decline in market capitalization or future declines in macroeconomic components or enterprise circumstances could end in further impairment expenses in future durations.
Revenue Taxes Revenue taxes are estimated based mostly on the tax statutes, rules and case regulation of the varied jurisdictions wherein the Firm operates. Deferred earnings tax property and liabilities are acknowledged for the longer term tax penalties attributable to variations between the monetary assertion carrying quantities of present property and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and internet working loss and tax credit score carryforwards. Deferred earnings tax property and liabilities are measured utilizing enacted tax charges anticipated to use to taxable earnings within the years wherein these short-term variations are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Deferred earnings tax property are evaluated for recoverability based mostly on all obtainable proof, together with previous working outcomes, estimates of future taxable earnings, and the feasibility of tax planning methods. Deferred earnings tax property are lowered by a valuation allowance when it's extra possible than not that some portion of the deferred earnings tax property won't be realized. Unsure tax positions are acknowledged if the burden of obtainable proof signifies that it's extra possible than not that the tax place will likely be sustained on examination, together with decision of any associated appeals or litigation processes, based mostly on the technical deserves of the place. Unsure tax positions assembly the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are then measured to find out the quantity of profit eligible for recognition within the monetary statements. Every unsure tax place is measured on the largest quantity of profit that's extra possible than to not be realized upon final settlement. Unsure tax positions are evaluated and adjusted as applicable, whereas taking under consideration the progress of audits of assorted taxing jurisdictions.

Pension and supplementary retirement plans
The Firm has a funded outlined profit pension plan (the Pension Plan) and an
unfunded outlined profit supplementary retirement plan (the SERP). The Firm
accounts for these plans in accordance with ASC Subject 715, Compensation -
Retirement Advantages. Below ASC Subject 715, an employer acknowledges the funded

The Pension Safety Act of 2006 gives the funding necessities for the Pension Plan that are completely different from the employer's accounting for the plan as outlined in ASC Subject 715. No funding contributions have been required, and the Firm made no funding contributions to the Pension Plan in 2022 and 2021. As of the date of this report, the Firm doesn't anticipate making funding contributions to the Pension Plan in 2023. The calculation of pension expense and pension liabilities requires the usage of a variety of assumptions. Adjustments in these assumptions can lead to completely different expense and legal responsibility quantities, and future precise expertise could differ considerably from present expectations. The Firm believes that essentially the most important assumptions relate to the long-term charge of return on plan property (in the case of the Pension Plan) and the low cost charge used to find out the current worth of projected profit obligations. The Firm's assumed annual long-term charge of return for the Pension Plan's property was 4.60% for 2022, 5.75% for 2021 and 6.25% for 2020 based mostly on anticipated future returns on the portfolio of property. As of January 28, 2023, the Firm elevated the assumed annual long-term charge of return for the Pension Plan's property from 4.60% to five.30% based mostly on anticipated future returns on the portfolio of property. The Firm develops its anticipated long-term charge of return assumption by evaluating enter from a number of skilled advisors taking into consideration the asset allocation of the portfolio and long-term asset class return expectations, in addition to long-term inflation assumptions. Pension expense will increase or decreases because the anticipated charge of return on the property of the Pension Plan decreases or will increase, respectively. Decreasing or elevating the anticipated long-term charge of return assumption on the Pension Plan's property by 0.25% would enhance or lower the estimated 2023 pension expense by roughly $6 million. The Firm discounted its future pension obligations utilizing a weighted-average charge of 4.73% at January 28, 2023 and three.06% at January 29, 2022 for the Pension Plan and 4.74% at January 28, 2023 and three.10% at January 29, 2022 for the SERP. The low cost charge used to find out the current worth of the Firm's Pension Plan and SERP obligations relies on a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of top of the range company debt securities with varied maturities. Every year's anticipated future profit funds are discounted to their current worth on the applicable yield curve charge, thereby producing the general low cost charge for Pension Plan and SERP obligations. Because the low cost charge is lowered or elevated, the pension legal responsibility would enhance or lower, respectively, and future pension expense would lower or enhance, respectively. Decreasing the low cost charges by 0.25% would enhance the projected profit obligations at January 28, 2023 by roughly $49 million and would lower estimated 2023 pension expense by roughly $2 million. Growing the low cost charges by 0.25% would lower the projected profit obligations at January 28, 2023 by roughly $46 million and would enhance estimated 2023 pension expense by roughly $2 million. The Firm estimates the service and curiosity price elements of internet periodic profit prices for the Pension Plan and SERP. This methodology makes use of a full yield curve strategy within the estimation of those elements of internet periodic profit prices. Below this strategy, the Firm applies discounting utilizing particular person spot charges from the yield curve composed of the charges of return from a portfolio of excessive high quality company debt securities obtainable on the measurement date. These spot charges align to every of the projected profit obligation and repair price money flows.
