2014
Form 10-K. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to our continuing operations.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
2. Canada Exit
Background
On January 15, 2015, Target Canada Co. and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of Target (collectively Canada Subsidiaries), comprising substantially all of our Canadian operations and our historical Canadian Segment, filed for protection (the Filing) under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto (the Court) and were deconsolidated. The Canada Subsidiaries are executing a liquidation process. As of
May 2, 2015
, all stores have been closed.

Accrued liabilities include estimated probable losses related to claims that may be asserted against us, primarily under guarantees of certain leases. The beneficiaries of those guarantees may seek damages or other related relief as a result of our exit from Canada.
6
Our probable loss estimate is based on the expectation that claims will be asserted against us and negotiated settlements will be reached, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable were these claims to be litigated. Our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, an assessment of the validity of certain claims and estimated payments by the Canada Subsidiaries. We are not able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses in excess of the year-end accrual because there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. We believe that it is reasonably possible that future changes to our estimates of loss and the ultimate amount paid on these claims could be material to our results of operations in future periods. Any such losses would be reported in discontinued operations.
DIP Financing
In conjunction with the Filing, the Court approved Target's agreement to provide a debtor-in-possession credit facility (the DIP facility) to the Canada Subsidiaries, which provides for borrowings under the facility up to
$175 million
. As of
January 31, 2015
, there was
$19 million
drawn and outstanding under the DIP facility, which was fully repaid in the first quarter of 2015.
No
amounts were drawn on the facility during the first quarter of 2015, and we do not expect any additional amounts to be drawn under the facility before it expires.
Income Taxes
During the fourth quarter of 2014, we recognized a tax benefit of
$1,627 million
in discontinued operations. The majority of this tax benefit has been received in the first quarter of 2015, and we expect to use substantially all of the remainder to reduce our 2015 estimated tax payments.
3. Restructuring Initiatives
In March 2015, we announced a headquarters workforce reduction intended to increase organizational effectiveness and provide cost savings that can be reinvested in our growth initiatives. As a result, we recorded
$103 million
of severance and other benefits-related charges within SG&A in the first quarter of 2015. The vast majority of these expenses will require cash expenditures by the end of the second quarter of 2015. These costs were not included in our segment results.

6. Data Breach
In the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced a data breach in which an intruder stole certain payment card and other guest information from our network (the Data Breach). Based on our investigation, we believe that the intruder installed malware on our point-of-sale system in our U.S. stores and stole payment card data from up to approximately
40 million
credit and debit card accounts of guests who shopped at our U.S. stores between November 27 and December 17, 2013. In addition, the intruder stole certain guest information, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, for up to
70 million
individuals.
Data Breach Related Accruals
Each of the
four
major payment card networks has made a written claim against us regarding the Data Breach, either directly or through our acquiring banks. During the first quarter of 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with MasterCard which was conditioned on the acceptance by issuers of at least 90 percent of the eligible MasterCard accounts by May 20, 2015. The issuers of the minimum percentage of eligible MasterCard accounts did not accept their alternative recovery offers by the deadline. We expect to dispute the claims that have been or may be made against us by the payment card networks regarding the Data Breach, including claims by MasterCard, and we think it is probable that our disputes would lead to settlement negotiations. We believe such negotiations would effect a combined settlement of the payment card networks' counterfeit fraud loss allegations and their non-ordinary course operating expense allegations.
In addition, more than
100
actions were filed in courts in many states on behalf of guests, payment card issuing banks, and shareholders, seeking damages or other related relief allegedly arising out of the Data Breach. The federal court actions (the “MDL Actions”) have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (“MDL Court”) pursuant to the rules governing multidistrict litigation and one remaining state court action has been stayed. In March 2015, Target entered into a Settlement Agreement that, upon approval of the MDL Court, will resolve and dismiss the claims asserted in the MDL Actions on behalf of a class of guests whose information was compromised in the Data Breach. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Target has agreed to pay
$10 million
to class member guests, certain administrative costs associated with the settlement, and attorneys’ fees and expenses to class counsel as the Court may award. The claims asserted by payment card issuing banks and shareholders in the MDL Actions remain pending. One action was filed in Canada relating to the Data Breach. That action was dismissed, but is being appealed. State and federal agencies, including State Attorneys General, the Federal Trade Commission and the SEC, are investigating events related to the Data Breach, including how it occurred, its consequences and our responses.
Our accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential Data Breach related claims is based on the expectation of reaching negotiated settlements, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable for the losses we have accrued were these claims to be litigated. Given the varying stages of claims and related proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding them, our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, historical precedents and an assessment of the validity of certain claims. Our estimates may change as new information becomes available, and although we do not believe it is probable, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued. We are not able to estimate the amount of such reasonably possible excess loss exposure at this time because many of the matters are in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved.

(a)
Includes expenditures and accruals for Data Breach-related costs and expected insurance recoveries as discussed below.
We recorded
$3 million
and
$26 million
of pretax Data Breach-related expenses during the three months ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, respectively, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of
$8 million
during the three months ended May 3, 2014. These expenses primarily related to legal and other professional services and were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A), but were not part of our segment results.
Since the Data Breach, we have incurred
$256 million
of cumulative expenses, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of
$90 million
, for net cumulative expenses of
$166 million
.
Insurance Coverage
To limit our exposure to losses relating to Data Breach and other claims, we maintain
$100 million
of network-security insurance coverage, above a
$10 million
deductible and with a
$50 million
sublimit for settlements with the payment card networks. This coverage, and certain other customary business-insurance coverage, has reduced our exposure related to the Data Breach. We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under the policies. Since the Data Breach, we have received
$35 million
from our network-security insurance carriers of the
$90 million
accrued.
7. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate swaps, which are used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result of our use of derivative instruments, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions. We monitor this concentration of counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments and their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
As of
May 2, 2015
,
three
swaps were designated as fair value hedges. In March 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of
$250 million
, under which we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate. Including this swap, we had
two
swaps designated as fair value hedges at
May 3, 2014
.
No
ineffectiveness was recognized during the three months ended
May 2, 2015
or
May 3, 2014
.
Periodic payments, valuation adjustments and amortization of gains or losses on our derivative contracts had the following effect on our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

8. Share Repurchase
We repurchase shares primarily through open market transactions under a
$5 billion
share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in January 2012.
During the first quarter of 2015, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) to repurchase
$200
to
$300 million
of our common stock under the existing share repurchase program. Under the agreement, we prepaid
$300 million
and received an initial delivery of
2.2 million
shares, which were retired, resulting in a
$180 million
reduction to shareholders' investment. Because the minimum repurchase will be
$200 million
, as of
May 2, 2015
,
$20 million
is included as an additional reduction to shareholders' investment and
$100 million
is included in other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The ASR is not accounted for as a derivative instrument.
In May 2015, the contract was settled and we received an additional
1.1 million
shares, which were retired, and
$35 million
for the remaining amount not settled in shares. We repurchased a total of
3.3 million
shares under the ASR for a total cash investment of
$265 million
(
$80.74
per share).

As a result of the restructuring initiatives discussed in Note 3, we remeasured the assets and liabilities of our largest pension plan as of March 9, 2015. The remeasurement resulted in a
$208 million
reduction to the projected benefit obligation, primarily resulting
11
from a
41
basis point increase in the discount rate used, and a
$47 million
reduction of plan assets. Subsequent to the remeasurement, the pension plan was overfunded, with plan assets of
$3,725 million
exceeding the projected benefit obligation of
$3,604 million
. We expect this remeasurement will reduce 2015 pension expense by
$26 million
,
$3 million
of which was recognized during the first quarter.
Other Benefits
We offer unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans to certain team members. We mitigate some of our risk of these plans through investing in vehicles, including company-owned life insurance and prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock, that offset a substantial portion of our economic exposure to the returns of these plans. These investment vehicles are general corporate assets and are marked to market with the related gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period they occur.
The total change in fair value for contracts indexed to our own common stock recognized in earnings was pretax income of
$3 million
and
$7 million
for the three months ended
May 2, 2015
and
May 3, 2014
, respectively. During the
three
months ended
May 2, 2015
and
May 3, 2014
, we made
no
investments in prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock. Adjusting our position in these investment vehicles may involve repurchasing shares of Target common stock when settling the forward contracts as described in Note 8. The settlement dates of these instruments are regularly renegotiated with the counterparty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary
First
quarter
2015
includes the following notable items:
|
•
|
GAAP earnings per share were
$0.98
, including dilution of
$(0.03)
related to discontinued operations.
|
|
•
|
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations were
$1.10
.
|
|
•
|
First quarter comparable sales grew
2.3
percent, driven by growth in both transactions and basket size.
|
|
•
|
Digital channel sales increased by 37.8 percent, contributing 0.8 percentage points to comparable sales growth.
|
|
•
|
We returned cash through share repurchase for the first time since the second quarter of 2013, with purchases of $562 million in shares of common stock in the first quarter. Including dividends, we returned $895 million to shareholders in the first quarter, more than 140% of net income.
|
Sales were
$17,119 million
for the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, an increase of
$462 million
or
2.8
percent from the same period in the prior year. Operating cash flow provided by continuing operations was
$717 million
and
$815 million
for the
three
months ended
May 2, 2015
and
May 3, 2014
, respectively.

Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (Adjusted EPS), a non-GAAP metric, excludes the impact of certain matters not related to our routine retail operations and the impact of our discontinued Canadian operations. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is meaningful to provide period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided on page 19.
Beginning this quarter, we are reporting after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) for continuing operations. We believe ROIC provides a meaningful measure of the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time. For the trailing twelve months ended May 2, 2015, ROIC was 12.5 percent, compared with 11.9 percent for the twelve months ended May 3, 2014. A reconciliation of ROIC is provided on page 20.

Comparable sales is a measure that highlights the performance of our existing stores and digital channel sales by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. Comparable sales include all sales, except sales from stores open less than 13 months. Comparable sales measures vary across the retail industry. As a result, our comparable sales calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The collective interaction of a broad array of macroeconomic, competitive and consumer behavioral factors, as well as sales mix, and transfer of sales to new stores makes further analysis of sales metrics infeasible.
We monitor the percentage of sales that are paid for using REDcards (REDcard Penetration) because our internal analysis has indicated that a meaningful portion of the incremental purchases on REDcards are also incremental sales for Target, with the remainder representing a shift in tender type. Guests receive a 5 percent discount on virtually all purchases when they use a REDcard at Target.

Gross Margin Rate
For the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, our gross margin rate was
30.4
percent compared with
29.5
percent in the comparable period last year. The increase was primarily due to lower promotional activity relative to the highly promotional period in 2014 following the Data Breach, a favorable category sales mix and lower clearance markdowns, partially offset by the impact of increased digital channel sales mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense Rate
For the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, our SG&A expense rate was
19.9
percent, decreasing from
20.1
percent in the comparable period last year. The decrease primarily resulted from cost savings initiatives, partially offset by investments in technology.

Other Performance Factors
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
In addition to segment selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded certain other expenses during the three months ended
May 2, 2015
and
May 3, 2014
. For the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, these expenses included $103 million of restructuring costs and
$3 million
of Data Breach-related costs. For the three months ended
May 3, 2014
, these expenses included
$18 million
of Data Breach-related costs, net of expected insurance proceeds, and
$13 million
of costs related to plans to convert existing co-branded REDcards to MasterCard co-branded chip-and-PIN cards in 2015 to support the accelerated transition to chip-and-PIN-enabled REDcards. Additional information about these items is provided within the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures on page 19.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense from continuing operations was
$155 million
for the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, compared to
$152 million
for the three months ended
May 3, 2014
.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended
May 2, 2015
was
34.8
percent compared with
34.4
percent for the three months ended
May 3, 2014
. The increase was due to a variety of factors, none of which was individually significant.
Discontinued Operations
See Note 2 of the Financial Statements for information regarding our Canada exit.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures
To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes restructuring costs, net expenses related to the 2013 data breach and other matters presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our continuing operations. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies. Prior year amounts have been revised to present Adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis.

Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding. Beginning with the first quarter 2015, we no longer exclude the reduction of the beneficial interest asset from Adjusted EPS because it is no longer meaningful. For comparison purposes, prior year Adjusted EPS has been revised.

We have also disclosed after-tax return on invested capital for continuing operations (ROIC), which is a ratio based on GAAP information, with the exception of adjustments made to capitalize operating leases. Operating leases are capitalized as part of the ROIC calculation to control for differences in capital structure between us and our competitors. We believe this metric provides a meaningful measure of the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time. Other companies may calculate ROIC differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

Average based on the invested capital at the end of the current period and the invested capital at the end of the prior period.
Capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is total rent expense. Capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Analysis of Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was
$2,768 million
at
May 2, 2015
compared with
$677 million
for the same period in
2014
. Our investment policy is designed to preserve principal and liquidity of our short-term investments. This policy allows investments in large money market funds or in highly rated direct short-term instruments that mature in 60 days or less. We also place certain dollar limits on our investments in individual funds or instruments.
Cash Flows
Operations during the first
three
months of
2015
were funded by internally generated funds. Operating cash flow provided by continuing operations was
$717 million
for the
three
months ended
May 2, 2015
compared with
$815 million
for the same period in
2014
. These cash flows, combined with our prior year-end cash position, allowed us to invest in the business, pay dividends and resume repurchasing shares under our share repurchase program.
Share Repurchases
During the
three
months ended
May 2, 2015
, we repurchased
3.7 million
shares of our common stock for a total investment of
$300 million
(
$80.85
per share), not including the $300 million prepayment under the accelerated share repurchase agreement described in Note 8 of the Financial Statements. We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended May 3, 2014.
Dividends
We paid dividends totaling
$333 million
(
$0.52
per share) and
$272 million
(
$0.43
per share)for the three months ended
May 2, 2015
and
May 3, 2014
, respectively, a per share increase of
20.9
percent. We declared dividends totaling $335 million (
$0.52
per share) in
first
quarter
2015
, a per share increase of
20.9
percent over the
$274 million
(
$0.43
per share) of declared dividends during the
first
quarter of
2014
. We have paid dividends every quarter since our 1967 initial public offering, and it is our intent to continue to do so in the future.
Short-term and Long-term Financing
Our financing strategy is to ensure liquidity and access to capital markets, to manage our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility and to maintain a balanced spectrum of debt maturities. Within these parameters, we seek to minimize our borrowing costs. Our ability to access the long-term debt and commercial paper markets has provided us with ample sources of liquidity. Our continued access to these markets depends on multiple factors including the condition of debt capital markets, our operating performance and maintaining strong credit ratings. As of
May 2, 2015
our credit ratings were as follows:
|
Credit Ratings
|
Moody’s
|
Standard and Poor’s
|
Fitch
|
|
Long-term debt
|
A2
|
A
|
A-
|
|
Commercial paper
|
P-1
|
A-1
|
F2
|
If our credit ratings were lowered, our ability to access the debt markets and our cost of funds and other terms for new debt issuances could be adversely impacted. Each of the credit rating agencies reviews its rating periodically and there is no guarantee our current credit ratings will remain the same as described above. Standard and Poor's lowered our long-term debt rating from A+ to A during the first quarter of 2014, but maintained our A-1 commercial paper rating.
As a measure of our financial condition, we monitor our ratio of pretax earnings from continuing operations before fixed charges to fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest expense and the interest portion of rent expense. For the first
three
months of
2015
our ratio of earnings from continuing operations to fixed charges was
7.29
x compared with
6.41
x for the first
three
months of
2014
. See Exhibit (12) for a description of how the gain on sale of our U.S. credit card receivables portfolio and loss on early retirement of debt affected the 2014, 2013 and 2012 calculations.
We have additional liquidity through a committed $2.25 billion revolving credit facility that expires in October 2018. No balances were outstanding at any time during
2015
or
2014
.
21
Most of our long-term debt obligations contain covenants related to secured debt levels. In addition to a secured debt level covenant, our credit facility also contains a debt leverage covenant. We are, and expect to remain, in compliance with these covenants. Additionally, at
May 2, 2015
, no notes or debentures contained provisions requiring acceleration of payment upon a debt rating downgrade, except that certain outstanding notes allow the note holders to put the notes to us if within a matter of months of each other we experience both (i) a change in control; and (ii) our long-term debt ratings are either reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade, or our long-term debt ratings are placed on watch for possible reduction and those ratings are subsequently reduced and the resulting rating is noninvestment grade.
We believe our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to maintain operations, finance anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives, fund obligations incurred as a result of our exit from Canada, fund obligations incurred as a result of the Data Breach and any related future technology enhancements, pay dividends and execute purchases under our share repurchase program for the foreseeable future. We continue to anticipate ample access to commercial paper and long-term financing.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our
2014
Form 10-K included a summary of contractual obligations and commitments as of
January 31, 2015
. During the three months ended
May 2, 2015
, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business.
New Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our current assumptions and expectations. These statements are typically accompanied by the words “expect,” “may,” “could,” “believe,” “would,” “might,” “anticipates,” or words of similar import. The principal forward-looking statements in this report include: Our financial performance; statements regarding the adequacy of and costs associated with our sources of liquidity, the process, timing and effects of discontinuing our Canadian operations, the expected ability to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities and the timing of such recognition, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax benefits related to discontinuing our Canadian operations, expected future borrowing under the DIP facility, the expected benefits and timing of cash disbursements related to restructuring initiatives, our future share repurchases, our expected capital expenditures, the expected compliance with debt covenants, the expected impact of new accounting pronouncements, our intentions regarding future dividends, the expected outcome of, and adequacy of our reserves for, investigations, inquiries, claims and litigation, including those related to the Data Breach and discontinuing our Canadian operations, expected insurance recoveries, our adoption of chip-and-PIN technology, and the amount and timing of expense reduction resulting from remeasurement of our pension plan.
All such forward-looking statements are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Although we believe there is a reasonable basis for the forward-looking statements, our actual results could be materially different. The most important factors which could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are set forth on our description of risk factors in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2015
, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2015
.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
first
quarter of
2015
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
22
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in 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 by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
