Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations
Macy's, Inc., together with its 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 has stores in
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 January 29, 2022 (the "2021 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 2021 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, 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 October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 (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 with the classifications of such amounts in the most recent years.
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 October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. Settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of income (loss) 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 5, "Retirement Plans," for further information.

Revenue |
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:
Retail Sales
Retail sales include merchandise sales, inclusive of delivery income, 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 point of sale for in-store purchases or the time of shipment to the customer for digital purchases 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.

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 $
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 Star Rewards loyalty program, points are earned based on customers’ spending on Macy’s private label and co-branded credit cards as well as non-proprietary cards and other forms of tender. The Company’s Bloomingdale’s Loyallist and bluemercury BlueRewards programs provide tender neutral points-based programs to their customers. 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 $
Credit Card Revenues, net
In 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with Citibank, N.A. ("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 2021, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the amended and restated Credit Card Program Agreement (the "Program Agreement") with Citibank. The changes to the Credit Card Program’s financial structure are not materially different from its previous terms. 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, expenses associated with establishing new accounts and Credit Card Program funding costs and bad debt reserves.
The Program Agreement expires March 31, 2030, subject to an additional renewal term of

Retirement Plans |
The Company has defined contribution plans that cover substantially all colleagues who work
In February 2013, the Company announced changes to the Pension Plan and SERP whereby eligible colleagues no longer earn future pension service credits after December 31, 2013, with limited exceptions. All retirement benefits attributable to service in subsequent periods are provided through defined contribution plans.
In addition, certain retired colleagues currently are provided with specified health care and life insurance benefits ("Postretirement Obligations"). Eligibility requirements for such benefits vary, but generally state that benefits are available to eligible colleagues who were hired prior to a certain date and retire after a certain age with specified years of service. Certain colleagues are subject to having such benefits modified or terminated.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, certain short-term investments and other assets, short-term debt, merchandise accounts payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards.
The following table shows the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt:

|
|
• |
Win With Fashion and Style: By offering a wide assortment of categories, products and brands from off-price to luxury, the Company continued to reach a broad and diverse range of customers during the third quarter. The Company is committed to providing quality fashion newness through a curation of premium owned and market brands, which is brought to life at |

MACY'S, INC.
|
|
Macy’s through the Own Your Style platform. Customer shopping trends shifted into occasion-based categories, such as career and tailored sportswear, fragrances, shoes, dresses and luggage rather than popular pandemic categories such as active, casual sportswear, sleepwear and soft home. |
|
|
• |
Deliver Clear Value: The Company is leveraging data analytics and pricing tools to efficiently plan, place and price inventory, including location level pricing, competitive pricing and point-of-sale (“POS”) pricing work. Throughout the third quarter, the Company maintained a mix of full-price, promotions and markdown items that, when combined with selectively higher tickets, resulted in an eighth consecutive quarter of average-unit-retail improvement. Inventory turn for the trailing 12 months remained relatively consistent with 2021. |
|
|
• |
Excel in Digital Shopping: While the Company experienced a deceleration in the growth of its digital channel during the third quarter as consumers shifted back to in-store shopping, the Company continued to make digital investments to serve customers’ lifestyle needs through the introduction of personalized and live shopping as well as ongoing refinement of existing online platforms, including the Company’s mobile app, which resulted in an increase in active app customers of 11% on a trailing 12-month basis. In addition, Macy’s Media Network, an in-house media platform that enables business-to-business monetization of advertising partnerships, generated net income of $31 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 21% from the third quarter of 2021. Finally, the Company launched the Macy’s digital Marketplace in late September 2022, which features a collection of new brands, product and categories from third-party sellers, representing a pathway to introduce customers to new merchandise options while limiting inventory risk. |
|
|
• |
Enhance Store Experience: In the third quarter of 2022, consumers continued to shift shopping channels from digital to stores as they returned to in-store shopping. The Company continues to invest in physical stores to support its digitally-led omnichannel business model and build new capabilities to help make the shopping experience convenient and compelling. For example, the Company is advancing its off-mall, smaller format stores in 2022 by continuing to open additional locations, including two Market by Macy’s locations that opened in the third quarter of 2022. The Company also opened an additional Market by Macy’s location and a second Bloomie’s location in November 2022. Finally, the Company introduced permanent Toys “R” Us shops within all Macy’s locations during the third quarter with an encouraging initial response through a 63% increase in toy sales from the third quarter of 2021. |
|
|
• |
Modernize Supply Chain: The Company has continued to update its supply chain infrastructure and network, both upstream and downstream, while leveraging improved data and analytics capabilities in fulfillment strategies to meet customers' preference for speed and convenience while also improving inventory placement. The investments to-date have allowed the Company to strategically bring in seasonal product earlier and provided the added capacity to chase in-season trends. The Company is expanding and relocating distribution centers to support business growth and serve the growing customer base. This includes plans to open a modern, new facility in Texas in mid-2023 which is expected to continue to support stores in the region. In addition, the Company plans to open a new fulfillment center in North Carolina in 2025. |
|
|
• |
Enable Transformation: The Company has continued to modernize its technology foundations to increase agility in reacting to customers and the market regardless of the channel in which customers interact. These activities include increasing the Company’s data science and analytics capabilities. The Company is committed to continue its transformation efforts by attracting and retaining talent through several initiatives designed to engage current and potential candidates. |
In addition to the pillars of the Polaris strategy above, the Company is committed to providing value to people, communities and the planet through the evolution of its Mission Every One social purpose platform. In early November, the Company launched S.P.U.R. Pathways: Shared Purpose, Unlimited Reach, with its partner Momentus Capital. S.P.U.R. Pathways is a multi-year, multi-faceted program that ultimately will provide up to $200 million of funding. The Company is committed to contribute approximately $30 million over five years to empower new brands across the Company’s network of stores and broaden the Company’s range of suppliers. The funding is designed to advance entrepreneurial growth, close wealth gaps and address systemic barriers faced by diverse-owned and underrepresented businesses serving the retail industry.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 decreased for Macy’s but improved for Bloomingdale’s and bluemercury. During the third quarter of 2022, consumer shopping behavior continued to shift more towards occasion-based apparel, with strength in career and tailored sportswear, fragrances, shoes, dresses and luggage rather than pandemic categories such as active, casual sportswear, sleepwear and soft home. Digital sales decreased 9% compared to the third quarter of 2021 as a result of the shift in consumer behavior back to in-store shopping.

Net credit card revenues performance during the third quarter of 2022 was driven by similar factors to the first half of 2022: the continuation of the strong credit health of the credit card portfolio's customers, leading to lower levels of bad debt, higher credit sales and higher spending on the co-brand credit card.

The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily driven by an increase in promotional and clearance markdowns to sell through slower moving categories at Macy’s, including casual apparel, soft home, and warmer weather seasonal goods. This was partially offset by higher average unit retail driven by higher ticket prices and favorable category mix particularly within occasion-based categories.

SG&A expenses increased in third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 both in dollars and as a percent to net sales. The increase in SG&A expense dollars and as a percent to net sales corresponds with the Company filling a significant number of positions that were open in the prior year as well as adjustments to colleague compensation to remain competitive and attract the best talent.

Net sales through the third quarter of 2022 increased as compared to the same period in 2021 and the Company continued to experience an increase in comparable sales. Through the third quarter of 2022, consumer shopping behavior shifted more towards occasion-based apparel, with strength in dresses, women’s and men’s shoes, career and tailored sportswear, luggage and fragrances. Pandemic-driven categories such as casual, activewear, sleepwear and soft home, underperformed the prior year. Digital sales decreased compared to the prior year period given a shift back to in-store shopping.

The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily driven by an increase in clearance and promotional markdowns in pandemic-related categories and seasonal merchandise. This was partially offset by higher average unit retail driven by higher ticket prices and favorable category mix particularly within occasion-based categories.

SG&A expenses increased in the first nine months of 2022 both in dollars and as a percent to net sales. The increase in SG&A expense dollars and as a percent to net sales corresponds with the Company filling a significant number of positions that were open in the prior year as well as adjustments to colleague compensation to remain competitive and attract the best talent, including increasing the Company’s minimum wage to $15/hour starting May 1, 2022.

During the first nine months of 2021, the Company recognized a non-cash settlement charge of $90 million primarily driven by the transfer of fully funded pension obligations for certain retirees and beneficiaries through the purchase of a group annuity contract with an insurance company.

In the first nine months of 2022, losses on early retirement of debt were recognized due to the early payment of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and debentures in the first quarter of 2022. In the first nine months of 2021, losses on early retirement of debt were recognized primarily due to the redemption of the entire outstanding $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Company’s senior secured notes due 2025 in the third quarter of 2021 as well as the repurchase of $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes in a tender offer in the first quarter of 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and the asset-based credit facility described below. Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, lease obligations, merchandise purchase obligations, retirement plan benefits, and self-insurance reserves.
Merchandise purchase obligations represent future merchandise payables for inventory purchased from various suppliers through contractual arrangements and are expected to be funded through cash from operations.
Capital Allocation
The Company’s capital allocation goals include maintaining a healthy balance sheet and investment-grade credit metrics, followed by investing in growth initiatives and returning capital to shareholders through modest yet predictable dividends and meaningful share repurchases.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2022 with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $326 million. This compares to a balance of $316 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021. The Company is party to the ABL Credit Facility with certain financial institutions providing for a $3 billion asset-based credit facility.

Operating Activities
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which decreased in the third quarter of 2022 from 2021 fiscal year end compared to an increase in the third quarter of 2021 from 2020 fiscal year end. This was largely driven by certain expense prepayments that occurred at the end of 2020, more significant bonus accruals at the end of 2021 compared to 2020 and a reduction in the Company’s gift card reserve due to lower gift card sales and lower redemption patterns as compared to historical levels.
Investing Activities
The Company’s 2022 capital expenditures were $983 million compared to $385 million through the third quarter of 2021. The increase is mainly driven by investments in its stores and distribution centers as well as its technology-based initiatives, including those that support the digital business, data science initiatives and the simplification of its technology structure.
Financing Activities
Dividends
The Company paid dividends totaling $130 million and $46 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In 2022, the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of 15.75 cents per share on the Company’s common stock, which were paid on April 1, 2022, July 1, 2022, and October 3, 2022 to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2022, June 15, 2022, and September 15, 2022, respectively. In 2021, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share on the Company’s common stock, which was paid on October 1, 2021 to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2021.
On October 28, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 15.75 cents per share on its common stock, payable January 3, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2022. Subsequent dividends will be subject to approval of the Board of Directors, which will depend on market and other conditions.

MACY'S, INC.
Stock Repurchases
On February 22, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. During 2022 and 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 24.0 million and 13.0 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $24.98 and $23.02 per share, respectively. As of October 29, 2022, $1.4 billion of shares remained available for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase program. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on terms determined by the Company.
Debt Transactions
Beginning August 2021, the Company completed a series of debt transactions that resulted in a $1.9 billion decrease in its long-term debt through the third quarter of 2022. These transactions also contributed to a decrease in interest expense, a re-laddering of fixed interest rate debt maturities and an improvement in the Company’s leverage ratio.
As of October 29, 2022, and October 30, 2021, the Company had $65 million and $116 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under its revolving credit facility (“ABL Credit Facility”), respectively, which reduced the available borrowing capacity to $2,935 million and $2,825 million respectively. The Company had outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility of $183 million as of October 29, 2022 and $140 million as of October 30, 2021.
The Company may, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire, exchange or extend its outstanding debt and/or take other steps to reduce its outstanding debt or otherwise optimize its capital structure and improve its financial position. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, tender or exchange offers, negotiated repurchases, other retirements or redemptions of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt or otherwise. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, trading levels of the Company’s debt, the Company’s cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information
The Company had $3,007 million and $2,935 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured debentures (collectively the “Unsecured Notes”) outstanding as of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2043. The Unsecured Notes constitute debt obligations of MRH ("Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Macy's, Inc. ("Parent" and together with the "Subsidiary Issuer," the "Obligor Group"), and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent. The Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured obligations, senior to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of each of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes. Holders of the Company’s secured indebtedness, including any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, will have a priority claim on the assets that secure such secured indebtedness; therefore, the Unsecured Notes and the related guarantee are effectively subordinated to all of the Subsidiary Issuer’s and Parent and their subsidiaries’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The following tables include combined financial information of the Obligor Group. Investments in subsidiaries of $8,905 million and $7,975 million as of October 29, 2022 and January 29, 2022, respectively, have been excluded from the Summarized Balance Sheets. Equity in earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries of $487 million and $1,568 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022, respectively, have been excluded from the Summarized Statement of Operations. The combined financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances and transactions within the Obligor Group eliminated.

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 the impact of 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, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. Earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company believes provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from EBITDA, net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share that are not associated with the Company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company's ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.
The Company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
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.

Notes:
|
|
(1) |
Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2021. Such calculation includes all digital sales and excludes 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 may 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 sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales. The Company does not, however, include any amounts in respect of 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 amounts of commissions earned on sales of departments licensed to third parties are not material to its net sales for the periods presented. |
Adjusted EBITDA as a Percent to Net Sales
The following is a tabular reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude certain items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as a percent to net sales to GAAP net income as a percent to net sales, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

New Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
|
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 2021 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 2021 10-K.
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures. |
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have carried out, as of October 29, 2022, 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) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of October 29, 2022, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were 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 adoption of new accounting pronouncements, 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.
