Macy’s Shares Advance After Strong First-Quarter Results and Improved Full-Year Forecast (M)June 3, 2026 9:52 AM
IH Market News Macy’s Inc. (NYSE:M) shares moved higher in premarket trading on Wednesday after the department store operator delivered first-quarter earnings and revenue ahead of expectations while raising its outlook for the remainder of the year. The results suggest the company’s ongoing transformation strategy is beginning to generate measurable improvements across its retail portfolio. Profit and Revenue Top Wall Street Expectations For the quarter ended May 2026, Macy’s reported adjusted earnings of $0.13 per share, exceeding analyst forecasts of $0.03 by a wide margin. Net sales increased 1.8% year over year to $4.70 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.61 billion. The performance marked another quarter of results ahead of expectations as the company continues to execute its turnaround initiatives. “We’re off to a strong start to the year, exceeding expectations for the fifth consecutive quarter as our Bold New Chapter strategy continues to build momentum,” chairman and chief executive Tony Spring said in a statement. Comparable Sales Deliver Strongest First-Quarter Growth in Four Years Comparable sales across Macy’s three core brands—Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury—increased 3%, representing the strongest first-quarter comparable sales performance in four years. Bloomingdale’s led the way with a 10.2% rise in comparable sales, marking its seventh consecutive quarter of growth and its strongest first-quarter result on record. Bluemercury posted a 6.4% increase in comparable sales, while the Macy’s banner recorded growth of 1.6%. Within the Macy’s division, the company’s Reimagine 200 store initiative continued to outperform, delivering comparable sales growth of 2.4%. Margins Remain Resilient Despite Tariff Pressures Gross margin came in at 38.9%, down 30 basis points from the prior year. Management noted that tariffs accounted for the entire decline, adding that gross margin would have been unchanged year over year excluding the 30-basis-point impact from tariffs. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by $39 million to $2 billion, although they remained steady at 39.9% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $290 million, representing 5.9% of revenue, compared with $304 million, or 6.3% of revenue, in the year-earlier period. Earnings Continue to Improve On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share increased to $0.23 from $0.13 in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to $0.13 from $0.11 a year earlier, reflecting continued progress in profitability despite a challenging retail environment. Management Raises Fiscal 2026 Outlook Encouraged by the stronger-than-expected start to the year, Macy’s increased its guidance for fiscal 2026. The company now expects net sales between $21.50 billion and $21.75 billion, up from its previous forecast of $21.40 billion to $21.65 billion. Management also improved its comparable sales outlook, projecting growth of 0.5% to 1.2%, compared with its prior expectation of between a 0.5% decline and a 0.5% increase. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to range from $2.00 to $2.20, compared with the previous forecast of $1.90 to $2.10. The revised guidance brackets the analyst consensus estimate of $2.10 per share. The company maintained its adjusted EBITDA margin forecast of 7.7% to 7.9% of total revenue. Strong Liquidity and Continued Shareholder Returns Macy’s ended the quarter with $1.30 billion in cash and approximately $2 billion of available borrowing capacity. Total debt stood at $2.40 billion, with no significant long-term debt maturities scheduled before 2030. The company continued to return capital to shareholders during the quarter, repurchasing 2.6 million shares for $50 million while also paying $50 million in dividends. Approximately $1.10 billion remains available under Macy’s existing $2 billion share repurchase authorization, providing additional flexibility for future shareholder returns. The combination of stronger sales, improving comparable-store performance and higher full-year guidance helped reinforce investor confidence that Macy’s turnaround strategy is gaining momentum.

We’re operating with discipline and focusing on what matters most – our customers. With the power of our multi-brand, multi-category, multi-generational portfolio, we’re confident in our path to sustainable, profitable growth.

Other revenue of $210 million increased $16 million, or 8.2%.

Macy’s Media Network net revenue decreased $2 million, or 5.0%, to $38 million, reflecting the timing of advertising spend on a year-over-year basis. Gross margin rate of 38.9% declined 30 basis points. Excluding a tariff impact of 30 basis points, gross margin was even with last year. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2.0 billion increased $39 million, reflecting the company’s ongoing investments in the go-forward business, including Reimagine 200 locations, Bloomingdale’s and digital across nameplates, partially offset by the net benefit from continued cost management efforts. As a percent of total revenue, SG&A expense was 39.9%, unchanged from the prior year period. GAAP net income was $63 million, or 1.3% of total revenue, and Adjusted net income was $35 million, or 0.7% of total revenue. In the first quarter of 2025, net income was $38 million, or 0.8% of total revenue, and Adjusted net income was $31 million, or 0.6% of total revenue. GAAP and Adjusted diluted EPS were $0.23 and $0.13, respectively. In the first quarter of 2025, GAAP and Adjusted diluted EPS were $0.13 and $0.11, respectively. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $290 million, or 5.9% of total revenue. In the first quarter of 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $304 million, or 6.3% of total revenue. Balance Sheet and Liquidity Merchandise inventories increased 3.6% year-over-year. The company believes the composition and level of inventories are well-positioned heading into summer 2026. The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 billion and had $2.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under its asset-based credit facility. As of the end of the first quarter of 2026, total debt was $2.4 billion. The company has no material long-term debt maturities until 2030. Shareholder Returns Through its quarterly dividend, the company returned $50 million in cash to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, on May 15, 2026, Macy’s, Inc.’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of 19.15 cents per share on Macy’s, Inc.’s common stock, payable on July 1, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, the company repurchased 2.6 million of its shares for $50 million. The company had approximately $1.1 billion remaining under its $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization as of the end of the first quarter of 2026. 1: Comparable sales refers to owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales. All reported nameplate comparable sales results are on a go-forward basis. 2: Inclusive of go-forward locations and digital, unless otherwise specified. For Macy’s, Inc. this reflects go-forward locations and digital across all three nameplates. 3: Reflects the impact of fiscal 2025 store closures, primarily Macy’s nameplate locations, which contributed approximately $40 million in the first quarter of 2025. 2026 Guidance The company revised its annual fiscal year 2026 guidance, including raising net sales, comparable sales, and adjusted diluted EPS guidance. Full year guidance continues to recognize that there are macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that could influence discretionary spend. As such, the company continues to take a prudent approach to guidance, giving flexibility within its business model to respond to changes in the competitive landscape and external environment. Guidance assumes the first half of the year will have a larger tariff impact than the second half and does not include the potential receipt of refunds from tariffs. Additionally, guidance reflects the investments to be made in the company’s Reimagine 200 locations and luxury nameplates to support long-term top-line growth. The full outlook for 2026, including the second quarter of 2026, can be found in the presentation posted to www.macysinc.com/investors. For Macy’s, Inc. the company expects:   Guidance as of June 3, 2026 Guidance as of March 18, 2026 Net sales1 $21.5 billion to $21.75 billion $21.4 billion to $21.65 billion Comparable sales change2 0.5% to 1.2% (0.5%) to 0.5% Adjusted EBITDA3 as a percent of total revenue 7.7% to 7.9% 7.7% to 7.9% Adjusted diluted EPS3,4 $2.00 to $2.20 $1.90 to $2.10 1: Reflects the impact of fiscal 2025 store closures which contributed roughly $145 million of annual net sales. 2: Comparable sales refers to owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales. 3: Updated definitions to now exclude gains on sale of real estate and benefit plan income based on the company’s non-GAAP definitions as described in its Form 8-K filing on February 18, 2026. 4: The impact of any potential future share repurchases associated with the company’s current share repurchase authorization is not considered within guidance. The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and Adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

The income tax effective rates for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 were impacted primarily by the impact of state and local taxes and the vesting and cancellation of certain stock-based compensation awards.   (4) Gross margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales.   (5) Restricted cash of $3 million has been included with cash and cash equivalents as of both May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025. MACY’S, INC. 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 earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, 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 that are not associated with the company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period net income, diluted earnings per share and EBITDA provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the company's ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, respectively, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. Management also believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures for components of executive compensation. The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. 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. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures, excluding certain items below, are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as follows: Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to GAAP net income. Adjusted net income is reconciled to GAAP net income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is reconciled to GAAP diluted earnings per share.

KIKO Milano Makes U.S. Retail Debut with National Launch at Macy'sMay 1, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

NEW YORK, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KIKO Milano, the #1 makeup brand in Italy, is expanding its U.S. presence through a new retail partnership with Macy's, one of the country's most iconic department store destinations. The national rollout will begin June 6 at Macy's Herald Square in NYC and macys.com, marking a significant milestone in the brand's North American expansion and introducing its full retail experience to the U.S. market at scale.







KIKO Milano is a globally recognized beauty brand blending high-quality, innovative craftsmanship with its rich Italian heritage. Rooted in creativity and effortless style, KIKO delivers vibrant, trend-driven products designed to make luxury beauty accessible to everyone. At launch, Macy's shoppers will have access to nearly 650 SKUs representing the full KIKO assortment, including bestselling products such as the 3D Hydra Lipgloss, Full Coverage 2-in-1 Foundation & Concealer, Unlimited Double Touch Liquid Lipstick, Long Lasting Eyeshadow Sticks, and Maxi Mod Mascara.KIKO's partnership with Macy's goes beyond distribution, reflecting a shared commitment to experiential retail. Beauty advisors will play a central role in guiding discovery and educating customers across the brand's expansive assortment. Select Macy's locations will also offer on-site engraving, introducing a personalized element that enhances the in-store experience.The partnership reflects a broader shift in the beauty landscape, where consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality, trend-driven products at accessible price points within trusted, discovery-led retail environments. KIKO enters the U.S. as a globally proven brand built on Italian craftsmanship, rapid innovation, and a deliberate approach to pricing that expands access to prestige-quality beauty. Through Macy's, the brand gains the scale and visibility needed to meet growing demand while introducing its model to a new generation of U.S. consumers."Expanding into the U.S. through Macy's marks an important milestone for KIKO Milano," said Simone Dominici, CEO at KIKO Milano.

With Macy's, we have a partner that offers the scale, visibility, and in-store experience needed to introduce KIKO in a meaningful way."At the heart of KIKO's U.S. expansion is the brand's "pricetige" model — a deliberate fusion of prestige-quality formulas and intentionally accessible pricing. Enabled by the brand's proximity to Italy's Beauty Valley, a globally recognized hub for beauty manufacturing and innovation, KIKO introduces more than 250 new products annually. KIKO operates at a speed and quality standard that challenges the traditional divide between mass and luxury beauty."As we continue to strengthen the Macy's beauty experience, we're focused on brands that bring genuine innovation and global credibility. KIKO Milano delivers prestige-quality beauty at accessible price points, backed by a distinct point of view," said Nata Dvir, Chief Merchandising Officer, Macy's.

Gross margin rate3 of 35.2% decreased 50 basis points. The decline was primarily attributable to an approximately 60 basis point tariff impact, which was in-line with the company’s expectations.


Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2.4 billion decreased $23 million, reflecting the net benefit from closed Macy’s locations, continued cost containment efforts, and end-to-end savings initiatives, partially offset by ongoing investments in the go-forward business, including Reimagine 125 locations, Bloomingdale’s and digital across nameplates.

2: Comparable sales refers to owned-plus-licensed-plus-marketplace sales.








3: Updated definitions to now exclude gains on sale of real estate and benefit plan income based on the company’s non-GAAP definitions as described in its Form 8-K filing on February 18, 2026.

The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

MACY’S, INC.




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 earnings 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 and diluted earnings 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. Management also believes free cash flow provides a better indication of the ongoing cash being generated that is ultimately available for both debt and equity holders as well as other investment opportunities. Unlike cash flow provided by operating activities, free cash flow includes the impact of capital expenditures and proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment, providing a more complete picture of cash generation. Free cash flow has certain limitations, including that it does not reflect adjustment for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments.


The company does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, and is unable to address the probable significance to future results of any items excluded from these measures, because the timing and amount of excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.


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 and marketplace sales 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.
