DILLARD’S, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
Note 2. Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements, except as noted below, and believes there is no accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The update requires increased transparency in tax disclosures, specifically by expanding requirements for rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will present these new disclosures in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period ending January 31, 2026. The new requirements pertain to tax disclosures only and are not expected otherwise to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) . The update requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in the update require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity (i) disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption; (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments
9
in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal -Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software . The update requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when specific conditions are met and removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. ASU 2025-06 is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on potential future capitalizable software costs.

Note 10. Fair Value Disclosures
The estimated fair values of financial instruments presented herein have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Management was encouraged to see the sales strength from July continue through the third quarter, with sales up 3% compared to the prior year third quarter. The Company continued to focus on inventory control. Retail gross margin improved 80 basis points of sales compared to the prior year third quarter, and ending inventory increased 2%.
Compared to the prior third quarter, both total retail sales (which exclude construction sales) and comparable store sales increased 3%. Retail gross margin was 45.3% of sales compared to 44.5% in the prior year third quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 1, 2025 increased $21.5 million to $440.4 million (30.0% of sales) from $418.9 million (29.4% of sales) for the prior year third quarter. The increase was notably due to payroll and payroll-related expenses.
For the three months ended November 1, 2025, the Company reported net income of $129.8 million ($8.31 per share) compared to net income of $124.6 million ($7.73 per share) for the three months ended November 2, 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $505.9 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to $349.4 million for the prior year nine-month period, with the increase largely due to changes in income taxes payable following a federal disaster declaration which allowed the postponement of certain income tax payments.
As of November 1, 2025, the Company had working capital of $1.724 billion (including cash and cash equivalents of $1.149 billion and short-term investments of $185.2 million) and $521.6 million of total debt outstanding, including one scheduled debt maturity of $96.0 million due July 2026, $225.6 million of long-term debt and $200.0 million of subordinated debentures.
The Company operated 272 Dillard’s stores, including 28 clearance centers, and an internet store as of November 1, 2025.

General
Net sales. Net sales includes merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (“CDI”), the Company’s general contracting construction company. Comparable store sales includes sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the most recently completed quarter and the corresponding quarter for the prior fiscal year, including our internet store. Comparable store sales excludes changes in the allowance for sales returns. Non-comparable store sales includes: sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.
Sales occur as a result of interaction with customers across multiple points of contact, creating an interdependence between in-store and online sales. Online orders are fulfilled from both fulfillment centers and retail stores. Additionally, online customers have the ability to buy online and pick up in-store. Retail in-store customers have the ability to purchase items that may be ordered and fulfilled from either a fulfillment center or another retail store location. Online customers may return orders via mail, or customers may return orders placed online to retail store locations. Customers who earn reward points under the private label credit card program may earn and redeem rewards through in-store or online purchases.
Service charges and other income. Service charges and other income includes income generated through the Company’s private label credit card portfolio alliances. These alliances include the former marketing and servicing alliance with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Alliance”), which terminated in September 2024, and the Company’s new long-term marketing and servicing alliance with Citibank, N.A (“Citibank Alliance”), which replaced the Wells Fargo Alliance upon its termination. Other income includes rental income, shipping and handling fees and gift card breakage.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise sold (net of purchase discounts, non-specific margin maintenance allowances and merchandise margin maintenance allowances), bankcard fees, freight to the distribution centers, employee and promotional discounts, shipping to customers and direct payroll for salon personnel. Cost of sales also includes CDI contract costs, which comprise all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, employee benefits and insurance program costs.
18
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include buying, occupancy, selling, distribution, warehousing, store and corporate expenses (including payroll and employee benefits), insurance, employment taxes, advertising, management information systems, legal and other corporate level expenses. Buying expenses consist of payroll, employee benefits and travel for design, buying and merchandising personnel.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization on property and equipment.
Rentals. Rentals includes expenses for store leases, including contingent rent, data processing and other equipment rentals and office space leases.
Interest and debt (income) expense, net. Interest and debt (income) expense includes interest, net of interest income from demand deposits and short-term investments and capitalized interest, relating to the Company’s unsecured notes, subordinated debentures and commitment fees and borrowings, if any, under the Company’s credit agreement. Interest and debt expense also includes the amortization of financing costs and interest on finance lease obligations, if any.
Other expense. Other expense includes the interest cost and net actuarial loss components of net periodic benefit costs related to the Company’s unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan and charges related to the write off of certain deferred financing fees in connection with the amendment and extension of the Company's secured revolving credit facility, if any.
Gain on disposal of assets. Gain on disposal of assets includes the net gain or loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, as well as gains from insurance proceeds in excess of the cost basis of insured assets, if any.
Seasonality
Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

ended November 2, 2024. Sales in ladies’ accessories and lingerie, juniors’ and children’s apparel and ladies’ apparel increased significantly. Sales in shoes increased moderately, while sales in home and furniture, men’s apparel and accessories and cosmetics increased slightly.
The number of sales transactions decreased 1% for the three months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three months ended November 2, 2024, while the average dollars per sales transaction increased 5%.
We recorded a return asset of $10.6 million and $10.5 million and an allowance for sales returns of $20.7 million and $20.2 million as of November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended November 1, 2025, net sales from the construction segment decreased $2.6 million, or approximately 4%, compared to the three months ended November 2, 2024 due to a decrease in construction activity. The remaining performance obligations related to executed construction contracts totaled $92.3 million as of November 1, 2025, decreasing approximately 54% from February 1, 2025 and decreasing approximately 63% from November 2, 2024. We expect these remaining performance obligations to be satisfied over the next nine to eighteen months.

Income from the alliances decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three months ended November 2, 2024, primarily from decreases in finance charges and late fees mainly resulting from lower average net receivables. Income from the alliances decreased $9.2 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the nine months ended November 2, 2024, primarily from (a) decreases in finance charges and late fees mainly resulting from lower average net receivables and (b) increases in credit losses .
While future cash flows under the Citibank Alliance are difficult to predict, the Company expects income from this new alliance to initially be less than historical earnings from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company is closely monitoring inflation and potential trade restrictions, including tariffs, which pose a risk to our operations. The extent of the impact on the Company's financial performance will depend on the effectiveness of our ongoing initiatives to manage these fluctuating costs.

During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $7.6 million primarily from the sale of four properties, resulting in a gain of $5.5 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
Income Taxes
The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.1% and 23.3% for the three months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively. The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 23.2% and 23.3% for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively. During the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state and local income taxes.
The Company expects the fiscal 2025 federal and state effective income tax rate to approximate 19%. This rate includes expected federal and state income tax benefits due to a deduction related to that portion of the special dividend of $30.00 per share to be paid to the Dillard’s, Inc. Investment and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This rate may change if results of operations for fiscal 2025 differ from management’s current expectations. Changes in the Company’s assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21) was signed into law. Notable provisions include restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, full expensing of domestic research expenditures, and modifications to interest expense limitations and charitable contribution deduction thresholds. Accounting Standards Codification §740, Accounting for Income Taxes , requires recognition of the effects of changes in tax law during the period of enactment. The effects of these provisions did not have, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Net cash flows from operations increased $156.4 million during the nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the nine months ended November 2, 2024. This increase was primarily due to changes in working capital items, notably changes in income taxes payable. Following the disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency related to the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began on April 2, 2025 in the State of Arkansas, the Internal Revenue Service was permitted to and did postpone certain tax-filing and tax-payment deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. As a result, the Company’s tax payment deadline was extended to November 3, 2025.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) previously owned and managed Dillard’s private label credit cards, including credit cards co-branded with American Express under the Wells Fargo Alliance. In January 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a new agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) to provide the private label credit card program for Dillard’s customers under the Citibank Alliance, replacing the existing credit card program under the
26
Wells Fargo Alliance upon its termination in September 2024. The new program launched on August 19, 2024 for new Dillard’s credit applicants. Existing accounts transferred from Wells Fargo to Citi on September 16, 2024. The term of the new Citi agreement is 10 years with automatic extensions for successive two-year terms unless the agreement is terminated by either party in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Under the Citibank Alliance, Citi establishes, owns and manages Dillard’s private label credit cards, including the new co-branded Mastercard Incorporated card (“Mastercard,” collectively, the “private label cards”). The new co-branded Mastercard replaced the previous co-branded card. Citi retains the benefits and risks associated with the ownership of the private label card accounts, provides key customer service functions, including new account openings, transaction authorization, billing adjustments and customer inquiries, receives the finance charge income and incurs the bad debts associated with those accounts.
Pursuant to the Citibank Alliance, we receive on-going cash compensation from Citi based upon the portfolio’s earnings. The compensation received from the portfolio is determined monthly and has no recourse provisions. The Company recognized income of $28.5 million and $37.6 million from the Citibank Alliance and the former Wells Fargo Alliance during the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively.
While future cash flows under the new program are difficult to predict, the Company expects cash flows from the new program to initially be less than historical cash flows from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any material decrease could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
Capital expenditures were $73.8 million and $89.1 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively. The capital expenditures were primarily related to equipment purchases, the continued construction of new stores and the remodeling of existing stores. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, the Company opened a new location at The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (140,000 square feet) marking its 30th state of operation.
In November 2025, the Company announced the upcoming closure of its store at The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas (240,000 square feet). The store was sold in November 2025 and is expected to cease operating in January 2026. There are no material costs associated or expected with this store closure. We remain committed to closing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to such stores when they close.
During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $7.6 million primarily from the sale of four properties, resulting in a gain of $5.5 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
During the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, the Company purchased certain treasury bills for $396.3 million and $422.4 million, respectively, that are classified as short-term investments. During the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $543.7 million and $450.9 million, respectively, related to maturities of these short-term investments.
During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, the Company contributed $34.3 million to its mall joint ventures, recording the investments in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.149 billion as of November 1, 2025. The Company maintains a credit facility (“credit agreement”) for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The credit agreement is secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries and provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option.
In March 2025, the Company amended the credit agreement (the “2025 amendment”). See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement , in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional information. During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, the Company paid $3.3 million in issuance costs related
27
to the 2025 amendment, which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At November 1, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $25.3 million were issued under the credit agreement leaving unutilized availability of $774.7 million.
During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $359.16 per share for $107.8 million under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. During the nine months ended November 2, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $364.43 per share for $107.0 million (including the accrual of $2.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of November 2, 2024) under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. As of November 1, 2025, $165.2 million of authorization remained under the Company’s open stock repurchase plan. The ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined. See Note 8, Stock Repurchase Programs , in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” in Part I, Item 1 hereof for additional information. During the nine months ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, the Company accrued $1.1 million of excise tax in each period related to its share repurchase program as an additional cost of treasury shares.
On November 20, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $30.00 per share. The dividend is payable on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company on January 5, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 12, 2025. The Company expects to fund the dividend from cash flows from operations.
The Company expects to finance its operations in the short-term and long-term from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and, if necessary, utilization of the credit facility. Depending upon our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, the Company will from time to time consider other possible financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to fund working capital or for other corporate purposes.
There have been no material changes in the information set forth under the caption “Commercial Commitments” in Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose entities or off-balance-sheet arrangements for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating the Company’s business. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements or relationships that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or the availability of capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicates those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2025. As of November 1, 2025, there have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates.
