KOHL’S CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for fiscal year end consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 (Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

We operate as a single business unit.

The following table provides a brief description of issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards:

 

Standard

Description

Effect on our Financial Statements

Leases

(ASC Topic 842)

 

Issued February 2016

 

Effective Q1 2019

Among other things, the new standard requires us to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on our balance sheet for each lease.  It also changes the presentation and timing of lease-related expenses.

Approximately 5% of our store leases and all of our land leases are not currently recorded on our balance sheet.  Recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for these and other non-store leases is expected to have a material impact on our balance sheet.  We are also evaluating the impact that recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will have on our income statement and the financial statement impact that the standard will have on leases which are currently recorded on our balance sheet.

Cloud Computing

(ASU 2018-15)

 

Issued August 2018

 

Effective Q1 2020

Under the new standard, implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be deferred or expensed as incurred, in accordance with the existing internal-use software guidance for similar costs.

 

The new standard also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense.

We are evaluating the impact of the new standard, but believe it is generally consistent with our current accounting for cloud computing arrangements and will not have a material impact on our financials.

 

 

 

 

In 2017, we recorded provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “Act"), as addressed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”).  During the nine months ended November 3, 2018, we made immaterial adjustments to the previously recorded provisional amounts related to the Act. Any additional adjustments related to the Act, while not expected to be material, will be recorded as income tax expense during the period in which the adjustment is finalized.

2. Revenue Recognition

Effective February 4, 2018, we adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) as required.  We adopted the new standard using the full retrospective method. The standard eliminated the transaction and industry specific revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and disclosures. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Net Sales

Net sales includes revenue from the sale of merchandise and shipping revenues. Net sales are recognized when merchandise is received by the customer and we have fulfilled all performance obligations. We do not have any sales that are recorded as commissions.

The following table summarizes net sales by line of business for the periods ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017:

We maintain various rewards programs whereby customers earn rewards based on their spending and other promotional activities. The rewards are typically in the form of dollar off discounts which can be used on future purchases. These programs create performance obligations which require us to defer a portion of the original sale until the rewards are redeemed. Sales are recorded net of returns. At the end of each reporting period, we record a reserve based on historical return rates and patterns which reverses sales that we expect to be returned in the following period. Revenue from the sale of Kohl's gift cards is recognized when the gift card is redeemed. Liabilities for performance obligations resulting from our rewards programs, return reserves, and unredeemed gift cards and merchandise return cards totaled $337 million as of November 3, 2018, $422 million as of February 3, 2018 and $335 million as of October 28, 2017.

Net sales do not include sales tax as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from our credit card operations, unredeemed gift and merchandise return cards (breakage), and other non-merchandise revenues.

Revenue from credit card operations includes our share of the finance charges and interest fees, less charge-offs of the Kohl’s credit card pursuant to the Private Label Credit Card Program Agreement. Expenses related to our credit card operations are reported in SG&A.

Income from unredeemed gift cards and merchandise return cards (breakage) is recorded in proportion and over the time period the cards are actually redeemed.

Long-term debt is net of unamortized debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $13 million at November 3, 2018, $18 million at February 3, 2018, and $19 million at October 28, 2017.

Our long-term debt is classified as Level 1, financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was $2.3 billion at November 3, 2018 and $2.9 billion at both February 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017.

Year to date, we have reduced our outstanding debt by $530 million including $500 million which was repurchased pursuant to a cash tender offer and $30 million which was repurchased on the open market.  In conjunction with the debt reduction, we recorded a one-time $42 million loss on extinguishment of debt which includes $35 million of premium paid to holders of the debt, $4 million related to an interest rate hedge, and $3 million of deferred financing fees and original issue discounts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For purposes of the following discussion, unless noted, all references to "the quarter" and "the third quarter" are for the three fiscal months (13 weeks) ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017. References to "year to date" are for the nine fiscal months (39 weeks) ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017.  

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "2017 Form 10-K"). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our 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 elsewhere in this report and in our 2017 Form 10-K (particularly in "Risk Factors").

 

Executive Summary

As of November 3, 2018, we operated 1,159 Kohl's department stores, a website (www.Kohls.com), 12 FILA outlets, and four Off-Aisle clearance centers. Our Kohl's stores and website sell moderately-priced proprietary and national brand apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty and home products. Our Kohl's stores generally carry a consistent merchandise assortment with some differences attributable to local preferences. Our website includes merchandise which is available in our stores, as well as merchandise that is available only on-line.

Key financial results for the quarter included:

 

2.5% increase in comparable sales on a shifted basis

 

25 basis point increase in gross margin as a percent of net sales

 

SG&A as a percentage of total revenue deleveraged 37 basis points

 

40% increase in diluted earnings per share

See "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional details about our financial results.

 

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales increased $57 million, or 1.3%, to $4.4 billion for the third quarter of 2018. Year to date, net sales increased $358 million, or 2.9%.  Results reported on a “shifted basis” are adjusted for the 53rd week in fiscal 2017 by comparing the periods ended November 3, 2018 and November 4, 2017.  On a shifted basis comparable sales increased 2.5% for the quarter and 2.1% year to date.  On a fiscal basis, which compares the fiscal periods ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, comparable sales increased 1.0% for the quarter and 2.9% year to date.  Kohl’s store sales are included in comparable sales after the store has been open for 12 full months.  Digital sales and sales at remodeled and relocated Kohl’s stores are included in comparable sales, unless square footage has changed by more than 10%.  

The following results are on a shifted comparable sales basis:

 

The increases in comparable sales reflect higher average transaction value for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.  For the quarter, we also saw a positive trend in transactions.

 

By line of business, all businesses except Accessories reported increases in comparable sales for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.  Women’s was positive for the second consecutive quarter.  Men’s and Children’s led the Company for the quarter.  Year to date, Men’s and Footwear led the Company.

 

Geographically, all regions reported increases in comparable sales for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.  The Midwest region outperformed the Company average in both periods, while the Southeast underperformed the Company average.

15


Table of Contents

 

Other Revenue

Other revenue increased $4 million, or 2%, to $259 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $21 million, or 3%, to $774 million year to date.  Higher revenue earned from third-party advertisers on our website contributed to the increases in both periods.  Year to date, the increase also includes higher credit revenue and unredeemed gift card and merchandise return card revenue (breakage).

Cost of merchandise sold includes the total cost of products sold, including product development costs, net of vendor payments other than reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs; inventory shrink; markdowns; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our vendors to our distribution centers; shipping expenses for on-line sales; and terms cash discount. Our cost of merchandise sold may not be comparable with that of other retailers because we include distribution center and buying costs in selling, general and administrative expenses while other retailers may include these expenses in cost of merchandise sold.  

The increase in gross margin as a percent of net sales reflects the benefit of less permanent and promotional markdowns due to our ongoing inventory management initiatives.

SG&A expenses include compensation and benefit costs (including stores, headquarters, buying, and distribution centers); occupancy and operating costs of our retail, distribution and corporate facilities; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our distribution centers to our retail stores and among distribution and retail facilities; marketing expenses, offset by vendor payments for reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs; expenses related to our credit card operations; and other administrative revenues and expenses.  We do not include depreciation and amortization in SG&A. The classification of these expenses varies across the retail industry.

Many of our expenses, including store payroll and distribution costs, are variable in nature. These costs generally increase as sales increase and decrease as sales decrease. We measure both the change in these variable expenses and the expense as a percent of sales. If the expense as a percent of sales decreased from the prior year, the expense "leveraged". If the expense as a percent of sales increased over the prior year, the expense "deleveraged".

16


Table of Contents

 

For both periods, stores and marketing expenses leveraged.  As planned, technology expenses did not leverage as we made deliberate investments in the cloud and other technology initiatives to drive future efficiencies and growth.  Corporate expenses also deleveraged due to higher incentives for the quarter and leadership changes for the year-to-date period.

Depreciation and amortization was consistent with last year for both periods.

Interest expense, net decreased due to the benefits of the $500 million debt tender transaction executed in March 2018, as well as increased interest income due to higher yield and investment balances.  

We recognized a one-time $42 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2018 related to our $500 million cash tender offer.

We believe the adjusted results in the table above are useful because they provide enhanced visibility into our results excluding the loss on extinguishment of debt.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the comparable GAAP measures.

Seasonality and Inflation

Our business, like that of most retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with the major portion of sales and income typically realized during the second half of each fiscal year, which includes the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Approximately 15% of annual sales typically occur during the back-to-school season and 30% during the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

We expect that our operations will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions, including food, fuel and energy prices, higher wages and by costs to source our merchandise. There can be no assurance that our business will not be impacted by such factors in the future.

Operating Activities

Operating activities generated $1.4 billion of cash in the first three quarters of 2018, an increase of $554 million over the first three quarters of 2017. The increase was primarily due to changes in accounts payable and merchandise inventory due to our inventory management initiatives and to timing shifts caused by the 53rd week in 2017.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $452 million in the first three quarters of 2018 and $529 million in the first three quarters of 2017.  The decrease was primarily due to lower spending on E-commerce fulfillment centers and timing of technology spending.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used cash of $1.2 billion in the first three quarters of 2018, an increase of $554 million over the first three quarters of 2017.

In the first nine months of 2018, we reduced our outstanding debt by $530 million, including $500 million which was repurchased pursuant to a cash tender offer in the first quarter and $30 million which was repurchased on the open market.  We may again seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through open market cash purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. 

We paid cash for treasury stock purchases of $275 million in the first three quarters of 2018 and $288 million in the first three quarters of 2017.  Share repurchases are discretionary in nature. The timing and amount of repurchases is based upon available cash balances, our stock price and other factors.

We paid cash dividends of $301 million ($1.83 per share) in the first three quarters of 2018 and $277 million ($1.65 per share) in the first three quarters of 2017.  On November 14, 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.61 per share. The dividend is payable on December 26, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 12, 2018.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of November 3, 2018, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and expect to remain in compliance during the remainder of fiscal 2018.  

Contractual Obligations

Aside from the $530 million reduction in outstanding debt and the resulting decline in our interest expense, there have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not provided any financial guarantees as of November 3, 2018.

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of its estimates and assumptions with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the market risks described in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the “Evaluation”) at a reasonable assurance level as of the last day of the period covered by this report.

19


Table of Contents

 

Based upon the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 3, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no significant changes in the risk factors described in our 2017 Form 10-K.

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" made within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Words such as "believes," “anticipates,” “plans,” "may," "intends," "will," "should," “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements may include comments about our future sales or financial performance and our plans, performance, and other objectives, expectations or intentions, such as statements regarding our liquidity, debt service requirements, planned capital expenditures, future store initiatives, and adequacy of capital resources and reserves. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s then current views and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any such forward-looking statements are qualified by the important risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2017 Form 10-K or disclosed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and we undertake no obligation to update them.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We did not sell any securities during the quarter ended November 3, 2018, which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
