KOHL’S CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for fiscal year end 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 financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
February 2, 2013
(Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.
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. In addition, quarterly results of operations may be impacted by the timing and amount of sales and costs associated with the opening of new stores.
We operate as a single business unit.
To conform to the current year presentations, we have corrected the presentation of
$33 million
of deferred revenues that were previously recorded as a reduction to merchandise inventory as of
October 27, 2012.

Our long-term investments consist primarily of investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”). The fair values for our ARS were based on third-party pricing models which utilized a discounted cash flow model for each of the securities as there was no recent activity in the secondary markets in these types of securities. This model used a combination of observable inputs which were developed using publicly available market data obtained from independent sources and unobservable inputs that reflect our own estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investments. Observable inputs include interest rate currently being paid, maturity and credit ratings.
Unobservable inputs include expected redemption date and discount rate. We assumed a
seven
-year redemption period in valuing our ARS. We intend to hold our ARS until maturity or until we can liquidate them at par value. Based on our other sources of income, we do not believe we will be required to sell them before recovery of par value. In some cases, holding the security until recovery may mean until maturity, which ranges from
2037
to
2039
. The discount rate was calculated using the closest match available for other insured asset backed securities. Discount rates ranged from
6.57%
to
9.47%
. The weighted-average discount rate was
7.64%
. A market failure scenario was employed as recent successful auctions of these securities were very limited. Assuming a longer redemption period and a higher discount rate would result in a lower fair market value. Similarly, assuming a shorter redemption period and a lower discount rate would result in a higher fair market value.

Our main business objective is to profitably increase sales. In order to increase sales, we believe that we need to continue to improve the quality of our merchandise and to offer items at great values. We are pleased with the progress we have made in these areas, but believe that we need to continue to progress in order to increase transactions per store, which is our primary sales driver.
We expanded our loyalty program to California and the Pittsburgh market during the third quarter. Including Texas and the original test markets, the program is now available to customers in almost 30% of our stores. The loyalty program allows enrolled customers to earn various rewards or discounts based upon the volume of their purchases. Initial results have shown a low single-digit sales increase in loyalty markets when compared to similar control markets. We continue to review the results of these pilots and modify earning thresholds, redemption time frames, in-store communication and other elements of the program. We believe that over the long-term, the loyalty program could be a powerful tool to increase customer traffic and sales.
Approximately 280 stores have renovated beauty departments. We are testing three different beauty renovations - new fixtures with expanded and/or relocated floor space, new fixtures with no change to department size or location, and existing fixtures with acrylic retrofits. Initial test results are showing a significant increase in beauty sales in the renovated stores.
We opened 12 new stores during the first nine months of
2013
and plan to open approximately 10 new stores in 2014. Substantially all of the new stores opened in 2013 and expected to open in 2014 are "small" stores with less than 64,000 square
10
feet of retail space. We remodeled 30 stores this year and expect to remodel between 35 and 50 stores in 2014. Final remodel decisions will be based on the results of our beauty tests and other remodel concepts that we are testing.
We continue to focus on creating excitement for our customers to increase customer traffic to our stores and website. In fiscal 2014, we expect to launch several new brands, including Juicy Couture, IZOD, and a Jumping Beans collection featuring Disney characters. The Juicy Couture assortment will include women's and girl's apparel, footwear, accessories, bedding, and home accessories. The IZOD assortment will feature men's sportswear and dress apparel, including golf separates, woven sport shirts, sweaters, knit shirts, shorts, suit separates, dress shirts, and dress pants.
Even though our third quarter sales were lower than planned, we were able to effectively manage inventory purchases and, as a result, believe our inventory levels and composition are appropriate as we enter the fourth quarter.
We remain committed to meeting the changing shopping needs of our customer, to strengthening our omni-channel experience and to investing in our future in a strategic and profitable manner.
Results of Operations
Net sales.
Comparable store sales include sales for stores (including relocated or remodeled stores) which were open during both the current and prior year periods. We also include E-Commerce sales in our comparable store sales. Omni-channel sales are recorded as store or E-Commerce sales based on the fulfillment channel. For example, customer purchases from our in-store kiosks are generally recognized as E-Commerce sales as the orders are shipped from our E-Commerce fulfillment centers and on-line orders which are shipped from our stores are recognized as store sales. Merchandise returns reduce sales at the location of the return. As a result, store sales are reduced by merchandise purchased on-line, but returned to a store.

The decreases in selling price per unit were primarily due to clearance merchandise which represented a higher percentage of our total sales and was sold at slightly deeper discounts than in the prior year periods. Units per transaction increased as customers purchased more items in response to the lower prices. Increases in the number of E-Commerce transactions were more than offset by decreases in our stores. Year-to-date transactions were also negatively impacted by an unseasonably cold spring which reduced customer visits early in the year.
11
The West region reported the strongest comparable store sales for both the quarter and year to date. The remaining regions all reported low to mid single-digit decreases. The Southeast and South Central regions reported the largest comparable store sales decreases for the quarter. Year to date, the Mid-Atlantic region had the largest comparable store sales decrease.
E-Commerce revenues totaled $339 million for the quarter and $970 million year to date. Our E-Commerce revenues increased over both prior year periods, but at rates which were slower than our historical growth rates. We replaced our E-Commerce platform in the second quarter of 2013. As expected, this resulted in a temporary deceleration in our E-Commerce growth in the second and third quarters of 2013. We expect E-Commerce growth to re-accelerate in the fourth quarter.
For the quarter, Accessories was the best performing line of business. Beauty led the Accessories business and reflects the positive impacts of our beauty remodel program and new brand launches. Home, Men's and Women's also outperformed the Company. Notable Home categories included bedding, luggage, electrics and other soft home categories such as rugs and pillows. Men's and Women's both reported higher comparable store sales in the active category. Children's and Footwear were below the Company average. Infant/toddlers reported the lowest sales decrease in the Children's business and athletic shoes reported the highest sales increase in the Footwear business.
Year to date, Children's and Home reported the lowest comparable store sales decreases. Men's also outperformed the Company average. Footwear, Women's and Accessories were slightly below the Company average. Notable sales increases were reported in Men's tailored & dress, Women's active/fitness, beauty Accessories and athletic Footwear. In the Home business, electrics and luggage reported the highest sales increases, and toys reported the highest sales increases in Children's.
Gross margin.
Gross margin 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 and handling expenses of E-Commerce sales; and terms cash discount. Our gross margin may not be comparable with that of other retailers because we include distribution center costs in selling, general and administrative expenses while other retailers may include these expenses in cost of merchandise sold.

The decreases in merchandise margin reflect higher markdowns. E-Commerce growth resulted in slightly higher shipping loss impacts.
E-Commerce decreased our gross margin rate by approximately 80 basis points for the quarter and 70 basis points year to date. Our E-Commerce business currently has a lower gross margin than our stores due to the mix of products sold on-line and free or related shipping promotions. As our E-Commerce business has grown, it has had a more significant impact on our overall gross margin results.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include compensation and benefit costs (including stores, headquarters, buying and merchandising 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; net revenues from our Kohl’s credit card operations; and other administrative revenues and expenses. SG&A also includes the costs incurred prior to new store openings, such as advertising, hiring and training costs for new employees, processing and transporting initial merchandise, and rent expense. 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” and indicates that the expense was well-managed or effectively generated additional sales. If the expense as a percent of sales increased over the prior year, the expense "deleveraged" and indicates that sales growth was less than expense growth. SG&A as a percent of sales increased, or "deleveraged," by approximately 15 basis points for the quarter and 10 basis points year to date.
The increases in store expenses are the result of higher store payroll, higher rent-related expenses due to new stores, and higher controllable expenses including repairs and maintenance. The timing and number of remodels resulted in higher expenses for the quarter and lower expenses year to date.
Marketing costs deleveraged for the quarter as we increased our spending in digital and broadcast and added California and Pittsburgh to our loyalty program pilot. Year to date, advertising leveraged approximately 5 basis points.
IT spending, which is included in corporate expenses, increased over both prior year periods due to growth and infrastructure investments related to our omni-channel strategy. For the quarter, these increases were more than offset by lower payroll and benefit expenses, including incentive compensation. Year to date, the IT spending increases were only partially offset by lower payroll and benefit expenses.
Distribution costs deleveraged in both the quarter and year to date due to higher distribution and fulfillment costs related to our growing E-Commerce business.
The increases in net revenues from credit card operations are the result of higher finance charge revenues and late fees due to growth in the portfolio. Partially offsetting these increases were higher bad debt expenses and operational costs. Year-to-date expenses are also higher as a result of the new credit card servicing platform which was implemented in the first quarter of 2012.

The increases in depreciation and amortization are primarily due to technology investments across the Company. The increases in interest expense are primarily due to the September 2012 and 2013 debt issuances. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter was primarily due to tax credits which were identified during the quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year was due to
favorable settlements of state tax audits in 2012.
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. Revenues and expenses associated with the opening of new stores may also effect our quarterly results.
Although we expect that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, including rising food, fuel and energy prices, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by such factors in the future. In
2012
, we saw modest increases in apparel costs in the first six months and mid-single-digit decreases in the last six months of the year. In
2013
, we have seen decreases in apparel costs.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Our primary ongoing cash requirements are for capital expenditures for new stores, remodels and IT spending and for seasonal and new store inventory purchases. Share repurchases and dividend payments to shareholders are currently other significant usages of cash. These payments are discretionary and can be discontinued at any time should we require cash for other uses. Our primary sources of funds are cash flows provided by operations, short-term trade credit and our lines of credit. Short-term trade credit, in the form of extended payment terms for inventory purchases, often represents a significant source of financing for merchandise inventories. We may from time to time issue new debt. The amount of new debt issued, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our cash needs and our capital structure. Seasonal cash needs may be met by cash on hand and/or the line of credit available under our revolving credit facility. Our working capital and inventory levels typically build throughout the fall, peaking during the November and December holiday selling season.

Operating Activities.
Operating activities generated $
1.0 billion
of cash in
2013
, compared to $
703 million
in
2012
.
Merchandise inventory, excluding E-Commerce, decreased 1% from
October 27, 2012
as inventory returned to more normalized levels in
2013
. Due to the 53rd week in 2012, our inventory levels at the end of the current quarter more closely align with those from our first week of the fourth quarter of 2012. On this shifted basis, merchandise inventory dollars per store, excluding E-Commerce, decreased 5%.
14
Accounts payable as a percent of inventory was 45.6% at
November 2, 2013
, compared to 50.1% at
October 27, 2012
. The decrease is primarily due to reducing our third quarter inventory receipts to manage our inventory levels as well as slower inventory turn.
Investing Activities.
Net cash used in investing activities reflects a
$176 million
decrease in capital spending primarily due to fewer remodels and new stores as well as lower spending on E-Commerce fulfillment centers, partially offset by higher technology spending. We currently expect capital expenditures of approximately $725 million for fiscal 2013.
Financing Activities.
Financing activities used cash of $
502 million
in
2013
and $
790 million
in
2012
.
We paid cash for treasury stock purchases of $
562 million
in
2013
and $
883 million
in
2012
. 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 $
229 million
($1.05 per share) in
2013
and $
227 million
($0.96 per share) in
2012
. On November 13, 2013, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share. The dividend is payable December 24, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 11, 2013.
In September 2013, we issued
$300 million
of 4.75% notes with semi-annual interest payments beginning in December 2013. In September 2012, we issued $
350 million
of 3.25% notes with semi-annual interest payments beginning in February 2013.
Free Cash Flow.
We generated
$480 million
more in free cash flow in the first nine months of
2013
than in the first nine months of 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher cash from operating activities and lower capital expenditures, as discussed in more detail above. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we define as net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from financing obligations (which generally represent landlord reimbursements of construction costs) less capital expenditures and capital lease and financing obligations. Free cash flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as net income and cash flow provided by operations. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate excess cash flow from our business operations.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities (a GAAP measure) to free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure).

The increases in working capital and the current ratio as of
November 2, 2013
compared to
October 27, 2012
are due to higher cash and inventory levels and lower accounts payable, partially offset by leases and other accrued liabilities. The increase in the debt/capitalization ratio reflects the issuance of $
300 million
of debt in September 2013 and lower capitalization, primarily due to share repurchases.

Contractual Obligations
Other than the $300 million of debt issued in September 2013, there have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2012 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not provided any financial guarantees as of
November 2, 2013
. We have not created, and are 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 liquidity 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 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
2012
Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in the market risks described in our 2012 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the “Evaluation”) at a reasonable assurance level as of the last day of the period covered by this Report.
Based upon the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules
16
13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
November 2, 2013
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no significant changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2012 Form 10-K.
Forward-looking Statements
This report contains statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements relate to developments, results, conditions or other events we expect or anticipate will occur in the future. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, these statements may relate to future outlook, revenues, earnings, store openings, planned capital expenditures, market conditions, new strategies and the competitive environment. 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 Item 1A of our 2012 Form 10-K, 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. An investment in our common stock or other securities carries certain risks. Investors should carefully consider the risks as stated in our 2012 Form 10-K and other risks which may be disclosed from time to time in our filings with the SEC before investing in our securities.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any securities during the quarter ended
November 2, 2013
