Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Macy's, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is an omni-channel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three nameplates (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 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. As of May 2, 2026, the Company's operations and operating segments were conducted through Macy's, Macy's Backstage, Macy's small format, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Bloomie's and Bluemercury, which are aggregated into one reporting segment. The metrics used by management to assess the performance of the Company's operating divisions include sales trends, gross margin rates, expense rates and rates of earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") and EBITDA. The Company's operating divisions have historically had similar economic characteristics and are expected to have similar economic characteristics and long-term financial performance in future periods. 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 31, 2026 (the "2025 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 2025 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 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, 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 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 (which do not include the holiday season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the full fiscal year. 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 weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. Settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of income before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost and are included in benefit plan income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 5, "Retirement Plans," for further information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in this update enhance disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. The Company did not elect to use the practical expedient. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). The update amends certain aspects of the accounting and disclosure of software costs under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-40, "Internal-Use Software" ("ASC 350-40"). The amendments also supersede the guidance on web site development costs in ASC 350-50 and relocate that guidance, along with recognition requirements for development costs specific to web sites, to ASC 350-40. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company beginning in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
