Macy’s, Inc. Updates Disclosure Metrics

NEW YORK – February 18, 2026 - In anticipation of the two-year anniversary of its Bold New Chapter strategy, Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) today announced updates to certain financial disclosure metrics. There is no impact on the company’s consolidated financial reporting and disclosures under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The updated disclosure information does not represent a restatement or reissuance of previously issued financial statements.

These changes are intended to simplify Macy’s, Inc.’s disclosures for its go-forward business comparable sales and provide increased clarity on key metrics that support Macy’s, Inc. growth profile and operating performance. This includes the addition of go-forward Macy’s, Inc. and nameplate sales on an OLM basis (owned + licensed + marketplace), as well as go-forward Macy’s, Inc. total revenue. The company believes the updated disclosures provide additional transparency on the growth of its go-forward business.

For fiscal fourth quarter 2025, the company will continue to report non-GAAP earnings consistent with previous disclosures. The company will also share updated metrics in the fourth quarter, which will be used for all disclosures beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

A summary of the financial disclosure updates follows.

Disclosure Area Metrics
Comparable Sales<br><br>(Chg vs. PY) •Streamlining nameplate comparable sales to four go-forward1 OLM metrics: Macy’s nameplate; Macy’s Reimagine locations; Bloomingdale’s; and Bluemercury<br><br>•No change to go-forward1 total Macy’s, Inc. and Macy’s, Inc. comparable OLM sales
OLM Dollar Sales2 •Adding go-forward1 OLM dollar sales for: Macy’s, Inc.; Macy’s nameplate; Bloomingdale’s; and Bluemercury<br><br>•Adding Macy’s, Inc. OLM dollar sales
Total Revenue •Adding go-forward1 Macy’s, Inc. total revenue<br><br>•No change to Macy’s, Inc. total revenue
Non-GAAP Earnings •Updating Macy’s, Inc. Adjusted net income3, Adjusted EBIT3, Adjusted EBITDA3 and Adjusted EPS3 definitions to now exclude ASG4 and BPI4, in addition to the previous exclusions of Impairment, Restructuring and Other Costs and Settlement Charges<br><br>•No change to Macy’s, Inc. net income, EBIT, EBITDA and EPS

1 Metrics provided on a go-forward basis reflect locations closed and to be closed as part of the Bold New Chapter strategy.

2 OLM dollar sales include all owned sales plus sales of departments licensed to third parties and sales on our marketplace platform. The company believes OLM dollar sales represent the company's overall consumer sales demand and performance, regardless of channel or manner of selling. This compares to GAAP net sales which includes owned sales plus commissions from licensed and marketplace sales, as well as breakage income from gift cards and loyalty programs.

3 The company believes the updated non-GAAP metrics most closely align with the operating performance of its go-forward business.

4 The company remains committed to the closure of its underperforming non-go-forward locations and subsequent monetization. Gains on sale of real estate (ASG) and benefit plan income (BPI) are not viewed by the company as long-term components of go-forward operating performance and results.

The supplemental information in this Form 8-K provides a recast of previously reported annual financial information for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 and a recast of previously reported quarterly information for fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025 incorporating these disclosure updates.
