Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 11, 2011, Macy's, Inc. ("Macy's") issued a press release announcing Macy's financial condition and results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. 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 diluted earnings per share excluding expenses associated with the early retirement of debt. Management believes that diluted earnings per share excluding expenses associated with the early retirement of debt is a useful measure in evaluating Macy's ability to generate earnings from operations and that providing such a measure 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 expenses associated with the early retirement of debt from this calculation is particularly useful where the amounts of such items are not consistent in the periods presented. However, the reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, Macy's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in these non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact Macy's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing Macy's actual financial condition and performance. 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.
