Item 2.02. |
Results of Operations and Financial Condition . |
|||
|
On November 14, 2007, Macy's, Inc. ("Macy's") issued a press release announcing Macy's financial condition and results of operations as of and for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. 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 operating income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding May Company merger integration costs and related inventory valuation adjustments, gains on the sale of credit card accounts and related receivables and the effect of an IRS tax settlement. Management believes that operating income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding May Company merger integration costs and related inventory valuation adjustments, gains on the sale of credit card accounts and related receivables and the effect of an IRS tax settlement, are useful measures in evaluating Macy's ability to generate earnings from continuing operations and that providing such measures 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 May Company merger integration costs and related inventory valuation adjustments, gains on the sale of credit card accounts and related receivables and the effect of an IRS tax settlement from these calculations 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. |
