The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 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 January 28, 2017 (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.
During 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard on share-based payments as required. The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of excess tax benefits in the Statements of Cash Flows. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the following:
•
Net tax detriments related to share-based compensation awards of $2 million for the quarter ended July 29, 2017 and $7 million for the six months ended July
29, 2017 were recognized as increases to income tax expense in our Statements of Income. Prior to adoption of the new standard, this amount would have been recorded as a decrease in additional paid-in capital in our Balance Sheet. This change was accounted for prospectively and will likely create volatility in our future effective tax rate.
•
Accounting rules require us to use the treasury stock method when calculating potential common shares used to determine diluted earnings per share. The new standard requires that assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method be modified to exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would have been recognized in additional paid-in capital. These changes were applied on a prospective basis and
had an immaterial impact on our weighted average common shares outstanding for the quarter and six months ended July 29, 2017.
•
The new standard requires that excess tax benefits from share-based employee awards be reported as operating activities in the Statements of Cash Flows. Previously, these cash flows were included in financing activities. We elected to retrospectively apply the presentation requirements. The retrospective application had no impact on our net cash provided by operations and net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 30, 2016.
We
elected not to change our policy on accounting for forfeitures and continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered. At this time, we have not changed our policy on statutory withholding requirements and will continue to allow employees to withhold up to the minimum statutory withholding requirements.
The
standard eliminates the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and disclosures.
The standard will change the way we account for sales returns, our loyalty program and certain promotional programs. Based on current estimates, we do not expect these provisions of the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.
We are currently evaluating the impact other provisions of the standard may have on our financial statements, including principal vs agent considerations and presentation of net earnings of our credit card operations. Under current accounting, substantially all merchandise sales are reported gross as we are considered the principal in the
transaction and net credit card earnings are reported in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
We will elect an adoption methodology after we have evaluated the impact that all provisions of the standard will have on our financial statements.
Leases
(ASC Topic 842)
Issued February 2016
Effective Q1 2019
Among other things, the new standard requires us to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability on our balance sheet for leases. It also changes the
presentation and timing of lease-related expenses.
Approximately 5% of our store leases and all of our land leases are not currently recorded on our balance sheet. Recording right of use assets and liabilities for these and other non-store leases is expected to have a material impact on our balance sheet. We are also evaluating the impact that recording right of use assets and liabilities will have on our income statement and the financial statement impact that the standard will have on leases which are currently recorded on our balance sheet.
Long-term
debt is net of unamortized debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $19 million at July 29, 2017, $20 million at January 28, 2017, and $22 million at July 30, 2016.
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 $2.9 billion at July 29, 2017, $2.7 billion at January 28, 2017 and $2.8 billion at July 30, 2016.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to "the quarter" and "the second quarter" are for the three fiscal months (13 weeks) ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016. References to "year to date" and "first half" are for the six fiscal months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and
the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "2016 Form 10-K"). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this report and in our 2016 Form 10-K (particularly in "Risk Factors").
Executive Summary
As of July 29, 2017, we operated 1,154 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 private label, exclusive 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 on-line.
Sales
were $4.1 billion for the quarter, 0.9% lower than the second quarter of last year. On a comparable store basis, sales were 0.4% lower than the second quarter of 2016. The decreases were primarily driven by fewer transactions, partially offset by higher average transaction value. Transactions, though lower than in 2016, improved significantly over previous quarters.
Inventory, gross margin and expenses were well-managed in an improved, but still challenging, sales environment:
•
Inventory dollars per store decreased 2%.
•
Gross
margin as a percentage of sales decreased 6 basis points to 39.4%. Increases which resulted from continued inventory management and improved markdown levels were more than offset by shipping costs.
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $3 million. As a percent of sales, SG&A deleveraged 12 basis points.
Net income for the quarter was $208 million,
or $1.24 per diluted share, 2% higher than adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2016 which excludes impairment, store closing and other costs.
See "Results of Operations" and "Financial Condition and Liquidity" for additional details about our financial results.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
In 2017, we changed our comparable sales definition to align with our internal company reporting. Under the new definition, Kohl's store sales are included in comparable sales after the store has been open for 12 full months. On-line 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 prior definition included sales for stores (including relocated or remodeled stores) which were open during all of the current and prior periods.
Net sales decreased $38 million, or 0.9%, to $4.1 billion for the second quarter of 2017. Year to date, net sales decreased $167 million, or 2.0%, to $8.0 billion. Comparable sales decreased 0.4% for the quarter and 1.5% year to date.
Transactions were lower than both prior periods, but second quarter results improved significantly over prior quarter trends. In both periods, average transaction value increased as increases in selling price per unit were partially offset by decreases in units per transaction.
From a regional perspective, the Southeast and West were the strongest and outperformed the
Company average for the quarter and year to date. The Midwest was consistent with the Company for the quarter and underperformed year to date. The Mid-Atlantic, South Central, and Northeast underperformed the Company average in both periods.
By line of business, Footwear, Home, and Men's outperformed the Company average for the quarter and year to date. Accessories, Children's and Women's underperformed in both periods.

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 expenses for on-line sales; and terms cash discount. Our gross margin 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.
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased 6 basis points for the quarter and increased 39 basis points year to date. Continued inventory management and improved markdowns positively impacted both periods. For the quarter, these increases were more than offset by higher shipping costs. The year-to-date period also benefited from lower levels of seasonal
carryover.

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; net revenues from our Kohl’s 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.
The following table summarizes the increases and (decreases) in SG&A by expense type:

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 12 basis points for the quarter and 4 basis points year to date. Marketing expense reflected continued efficiencies in our non-customer facing spend. Year to date, marketing expense also included the benefit of not repeating a non-productive marketing event. Store expenses were managed consistently with the decrease in sales. Our credit business reported both higher
revenues on the receivable portfolio and lower operating expenses. Distribution and corporate costs, including technology, were controlled, but didn’t leverage on the lower sales.

In both periods, depreciation and amortization increased as a result of higher technology amortization. Interest expense decreased due to lower interest on capital leases as the store portfolio matures.
Impairments, store closing and other costs includes expenses related to store closures and the corporate restructuring in 2016.
The
provision for income taxes reflects changes in pretax income and the effective tax rate. Our income tax rate was 37.4% for the quarter, 10 basis points lower than last year. Year to date, our income tax rate was 37.9%, 40 basis points higher than last year. Both periods were negatively impacted by accounting rules adopted in 2017 which require us to recognize income tax benefits and detriments related to share-based awards as income tax expense rather than as equity on our balance sheet. The negative impact of these rules was more than offset by favorable tax settlements in the quarter, but only partially offset year to date.

We
believe the adjusted results in the table above are useful because they provide enhanced visibility into our results excluding the impact of store closures and restructuring charges in 2016. 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.
Although we expect
that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, including food, fuel and energy prices, and by costs to source our merchandise, 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 impacted by such factors in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table presents our primary cash requirements and sources of funds.
Cash Requirements
Sources of Funds
• Operational
needs, including salaries, rent, taxes and other costs of running our business
• Capital expenditures
• Inventory
• Share repurchases
• Dividend payments
• Cash flow from operations
• Short-term trade credit, in the form of favorable payment terms
• Line of credit 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 generated $376 million of cash in the first half of 2017, a decrease of $470 million from the first half of 2016. The decrease is primarily due to timing of inventory receipts and the related payments. Excess inventory at the beginning of 2016 also contributed to the year-over-year decrease.
Inventory per store decreased 2% from the second quarter of 2016. Accounts payable as a percent of inventory increased 55 basis points to 35.6% at July 29, 2017 and was driven by lower inventory receipts.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $383
million in the first half of 2017 and $337 million in the first half of 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher technology spending and investment in our fifth E-Commerce fulfillment center.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities of $515 million was consistent with 2016.
We paid cash for treasury stock purchases of $250 million in the first half of 2017 and $267 million in the first half of 2016. 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 $186 million ($1.10 per share) in the first half of 2017 and $182 million ($1.00 per share) in the first half of 2016. On August 8, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.55 per share. The dividend is payable on September 20, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2017.
As of July 29,
2017, our credit ratings were as follows:
Moody’s
Standard & Poor’s
Fitch
Long-term debt
Baa2
BBB-
BBB
Free Cash Flow
Free
cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we define as net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from financing obligation payments (which generally represent landlord reimbursements of construction costs) less capital expenditures and capital lease and financing obligation payments. Free cash flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
The decreases in working capital and the increase in current ratio reflect the net impact of lower cash, inventory, taxes payable and other current liabilities. The debt/capitalization ratio increased primarily due to lower
shareholders' equity, which was primarily due to share repurchases.
Debt Covenant Compliance
As of July 29, 2017, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and expect to remain in compliance during the remainder of fiscal 2017.

There have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not provided any financial guarantees as of July 29, 2017.
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 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 2016 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 2016 Form
10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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 Rule 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 29, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
