KOHL’S CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for fiscal year end consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
We operate as a single business unit.
The following table provides a brief description of issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards:
Standard
|
Description
|
Effect on our Financial Statements
|
Cloud Computing
(ASU 2018-15)
Issued August 2018
Effective Q1 2020
|
Under the new standard, implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be deferred or expensed as incurred, in accordance with the existing internal-use software guidance for similar costs.
The new standard also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense.
|
We are evaluating the impact of the new standard, but believe it is generally consistent with our current accounting for cloud computing arrangements and will not have a material impact on our financials.

Our long-term debt is classified as Level 1, financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was $1.9 billion at May 4, 2019, $1.8 billion at February 2, 2019, and $2.3 billion at May 5, 2018.
Year to date, we have reduced our outstanding debt by $6 million through open market repurchases.

s
Effective February 3, 2019 (the “adoption date”), we adopted ASC 842 Leases (the “new standard”).
The new standard requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations and a corresponding right of use asset on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements that is intended to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. We
adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method and applied the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. We did not restate prior period financial statements.
The new standard includes several transition practical expedients that were available to reduce the burden of implementing the standard.
|
•
|
We elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classifications.
|
|
•
|
We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which would have allowed us to revisit key assumptions, such as lease term, that were made when we originally entered into the lease.
|
The following table summarizes changes in our balance sheet upon adoption of the new standard:

(a)
|
The reductions are primarily due to historical failed sale leaseback and build to suit arrangements where we were deemed owner for accounting purposes. In accordance with ASC 842 transition provisions, they became operating or finance leases.
|
|
(b)
|
The increases include land and other operating leases which were not previously recorded on our balance sheet or were previously recorded as financing obligations.
|
|
(c)
|
The reductions are primarily due to the reclassification of lease-related assets and liabilities such as straight-line rent and reserves for closed stores to operating lease assets and liabilities.
|
|
(d)
|
The cumulative effect of lease adjustments, net of the deferred tax impact, was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. In addition, retained earnings include a $26 million lease impairment charge.
|
These adjustments represent non-cash activities for Statement of Cash Flow purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Adoption of the new
standard is not expected to have a material impact on our net income prospectively. We expect im
material increases in Selling, general and a
dministrative expenses to be more than offset by
decreases in
Depreciation and a
mortization and Interest expense. S
ubstantially all of the expected income statement changes are due
to the reversal of accounting for build to suit
arrangements
where construction is complete
which
were accounted for as operating or finance leases in accordance with the transition provisions of ASC 842.
Finance and Operating Leases
We lease certain property and equipment used in our operations. Some of our store leases include additional rental payments based on a percentage of sales over contractual levels or which are adjusted periodically for inflation. Our typical store lease has an initial term of 20 to 25 years and four to eight five-year renewal options.
Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease assets are recognized at commencement date based on the value of the lease liability and are
adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before commencement date, minus any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
Lease liabilities represent our contractual obligation to make lease payments. They are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit interest rate is not readily identifiable in our leases, we estimate our collateralized borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease payments. For leases that commenced prior to the adoption date, we used the February 3, 2019 rate for a term consistent with the original lease term for operating leases and the rate on the lease commencement date for finance leases.
For leases with terms of 12 months or less, we elected the practical expedient to exclude them from the balance sheet and recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning, modified, or reassessed in 2019 and later, we elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components.

Results of Operations
For purposes of the following discussion, unless noted, all references to "the quarter" and "the first quarter" are for the three fiscal months (13 weeks) ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018.
This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" made within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes," “anticipates,” “plans,” "may," "intends," "will," "should," “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include comments about our future sales or financial performance and our plans, performance, and other objectives, expectations or intentions, such as statements regarding our liquidity, debt service requirements, planned capital expenditures, future store initiatives, and adequacy of capital resources and reserves. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s then current views and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any such forward-looking statements are qualified by the important risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2018 Form 10-K or disclosed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and we undertake no obligation to update them.
Executive Summary
As of May 4, 2019, we operated 1,155 Kohl's department stores, a website (www.Kohls.com), 12 FILA outlets, and four Off-Aisle clearance centers. Our Kohl's stores and website sell moderately-priced proprietary and national brand apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty and home products. Our Kohl's stores generally carry a consistent merchandise assortment with some differences attributable to local preferences. Our website includes merchandise which is available in our stores, as well as merchandise that is available only online.
Key financial results for the quarter included:
|
•
|
3.4% decrease in comparable sales
|
|
•
|
6 basis point decrease in gross margin as a percent of net sales
|
|
•
|
126 basis point increase in SG&A as a percentage of total revenue
|
|
•
|
16% decrease in diluted earnings per share
|
|
•
|
5% decrease in diluted earnings per share excluding non-recurring charges
|
We adopted the new lease accounting standard in the first quarter of 2019 and prior periods were not restated.
See "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional details about our financial results.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales decreased $132 million, or 3.3%, to $3.8 billion for the first quarter of 2019. Comparable sales decreased 3.4%. Kohl’s store sales are included in comparable sales after the store has been open for 12 full months. Digital sales and sales at remodeled and relocated Kohl’s stores are included in comparable sales, unless square footage has changed by more than 10%.
|
•
|
The
decrease in comparable sales was driven mainly by a decrease in transactions
.

Cost of merchandise sold includes the total cost of products sold, including product development costs, net of vendor payments other than reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs; inventory shrink; markdowns; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our vendors to our distribution centers; shipping expenses for online sales; and terms cash discount. Our Cost of merchandise sold may not be comparable with that of other retailers because we include distribution center and buying costs in Selling, general and administrative expenses while other retailers may include these expenses in Cost of merchandise sold.
The decrease in gross margin as a percent of net sales reflects an unfavorable product mix shift between spring and fall goods as well as a higher digital penetration than the first quarter of 2018.

SG&A expenses include compensation and benefit costs (including stores, headquarters, buying, and distribution centers); occupancy and operating costs of our retail, distribution and corporate facilities; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our distribution centers to our retail stores and among distribution and retail facilities; marketing expenses, offset by vendor payments for reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs; expenses related to our credit card operations; and other administrative revenues and expenses. We do not include depreciation and amortization in SG&A. The classification of these expenses varies across the retail industry.
Many of our expenses, including store payroll and distribution costs, are variable in nature. These costs generally increase as sales increase and decrease as sales decrease. We measure both the change in these variable expenses and the expense as a percent of sales. If the expense as a percent of sales decreased from the prior year, the expense "leveraged". If the expense as a percent of sales increased over the prior year, the expense "deleveraged".

SG&A increased 1.2%, or $16 million, to $1.3 billion. Substantially all of the increase was due to marketing expenses as we continue to make investments to target market share gains over the long-term. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A deleveraged 126 basis points.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $13 million for the quarter and was driven by the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, as well as the maturity of our store portfolio.
Net interest expense decreased $19 million for the quarter due primarily to the benefits of debt reductions in 2018 and adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
In the first quarter of 2019,
we incurred $49 million in lease asset impairment charges related to the previously announced closure of four stores.
In the first quarter of 2018, we recognized a $42 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to our $500 million cash tender offer.

The decreases in the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate were primarily due to a favorable state tax settlement. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was also impacted by lower taxable income due to the timing of deductions.

We believe the adjusted results in the table above are useful because they provide enhanced visibility into our results, excluding non-recurring expenses. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the comparable GAAP measures.
Seasonality and Inflation
Our business, like that of most retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with the major portion of sales and income typically realized during the second half of each fiscal year, which includes the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Approximately 15% of annual sales typically occur during the back-to-school season and 30% during the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
We expect that our operations will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions, including food, fuel and energy prices, higher wages and by costs to source our merchandise. There can be no assurances that such factors will not impact our business in the future.

rating Activities
Operating activities generated $136 million of cash in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $387 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $238 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $133 million in the first quarter of 2018.
The increase was primarily due to investments in our E-commerce fulfillment centers.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used cash of $289 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $740 million in the first quarter of 2018.
During the first quarter of 2019, we repurchased $6 million of outstanding debt on the open market. During the first quarter of 2018, we completed a cash tender offer for $500 million of senior unsecured debt. We may again seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through open market cash purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
We paid cash for treasury stock purchases of $121 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $70 million in the first quarter of 2018. Share repurchases are discretionary in nature. The timing and amount of repurchases is based upon available cash balances, our stock price and other factors.
We paid cash dividends of $108 million ($0.67 per share) in the first quarter of 2019 and $101 million ($0.61 per share) in the first quarter of 2018. On May 15, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.67 per share. The dividend is payable June 26, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 12, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2019, Standard and Poor’s upgraded our long-term debt from BBB- to BBB. As of May 4, 2019, our credit ratings were as follows:

The decreases in our working capital and current ratio are primarily due to lower cash balances as a result of debt reductions, share repurchases and dividends, as well as the addition of operating leases to current liabilities due to new lease accounting. These impacts were partially offset by decreases in accounts payable.

Debt Covenant Compliance
As of May 4, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and expect to remain in compliance during the remainder of fiscal 2019.
Contractual Obligations
Other than operating leases which are now Recorded, rather than Unrecorded contractual obligations, there have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not provided any financial guarantees as of May 4, 2019.
We have not created, and are a not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of its estimates and assumptions with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2018 Form 10-K.
