The following table shows the Company's financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards:
Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, certain short-term investments and other assets, short-term debt, merchandise accounts payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards.
The following table shows the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt:

The Company’s real estate strategy is designed to create value through both monetizationdecrease in other revenues was primarily driven by a $64 million decrease in credit card revenues. This decrease was primarily driven by increased portfolio funding costs and redevelopment of certain assets:
In January 2016, the Company completed a $270higher estimated credit losses. Macy's Media Network grew $5 million, real estate transaction to recreate Macy's Brooklyn store. The Company continues to own and operate the first four floors and lower level of its existing nine-story retail store, which is currently being reconfigured and remodeled. The remaining portion of the store and its nearby parking facility were sold to Tishman Speyer in a single sales transaction. As the sales agreement required the Company to conduct certain redevelopment activities within the store, the Company is recognizing the gain on the transaction, approximately $250 million, under the percentage of completion method of accounting over the redevelopment period. Accordingly, $166 million has been recognized to-date, of which $117 million was recognized through fiscal 2016 and $49 million has been recognized during 2017.
In fiscal 2016, the Company had property and equipment sales, primarily related to real estate, totaling $673 million in cash proceeds and recognized real estate gains of $209 million. These proceeds include the cash receivedor 16% from the sale of the Company's 248,000 square-foot Union Square Men’s building in San Francisco for approximately $250 million in January 2017. The Company will use part of the proceeds to consolidate the Men’s store into its main Union Square store. The Company is leasing back the Men's store property as it completes the reconfiguration of the main store. The Company is expected to recognize a gain of approximately $235 million in January 2018.
In January 2017, the Company finalized the formation of a strategic alliance with Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager, to create increased value in its real estate portfolio. Under the alliance, Brookfield has an exclusive right for up to 24 months to create a "pre-development plan" for each of approximately 50 Macy’s real estate assets, with an option for Macy’s to continue to identify and add assets into the alliance. The breadth of opportunity within the portfolio ranges from the additional development on a portion of an asset (such as a Company-controlled land parcel adjacent to a store) to the complete redevelopment of an existing store. Once a "pre-development plan" is created, the Company has the option to accept the "pre-development plan" and then either contribute the asset into a joint venture for the development plan to commence or sell the asset to Brookfield. If the Company chooses to contribute the asset into a joint venture, the Company may elect to participate as a funding or non-funding partner. After development, the joint venture may sell the asset and distribute proceeds accordingly. Based on the analysis conducted to date, preliminary indications point to a likelihood that Brookfield will recommend proceeding with redevelopment on roughly two thirds of the assets subject to the alliance.
In February 2017, the Company sold its downtown Minneapolis store and parking facility for $59 million of proceeds and recognized a gain of approximately $47 million in the firstthird quarter of 2017.2022.
In April 2017, the Company launched a marketing effort for the upper floors of its flagship State Street Macy's store in downtown Chicago. Development | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information
Capital Resources
Management believesThe Company had $3,007 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured debentures (collectively the "Unsecured Notes") outstanding as of both October 28, 2023 and January 28, 2023 with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2043. The Unsecured Notes constitute debt obligations of Macy's Retail Holdings, LLC ("MRH" or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Macy's, Inc. ("Parent" and together with the "Subsidiary Issuer," the "Obligor Group"), and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent. The Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured obligations, senior to any of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of each of the Company's subsidiaries that with respectdo not guarantee the Unsecured Notes. Holders of the Company's secured indebtedness, including any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, will have a priority claim on the assets that secure such secured indebtedness; therefore, the Unsecured Notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of the Subsidiary Issuer's and Parent and their subsidiaries’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the Company's current operations, cash on handextent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The following tables include combined financial information of the Obligor Group. Investments in subsidiaries of $8,462 million and funds$9,146 million as of October 28, 2023 and January 28, 2023, respectively, have been excluded from operations, together with its credit facilitythe Summarized Balance Sheets. Equity in earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries of $472 million and other capital resources, will be sufficient to cover the Company's reasonably foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements and other cash requirements in both the near term and over the longer term. The Company's ability to generate funds from operations may be affected by numerous factors, including general economic conditions and levels of consumer confidence and demand; however, the Company expects to be able to manage its working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts so as to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. To the extent that the Company's cash balances from time to time exceed amounts that are needed to fund its immediate liquidity requirements, the Company will consider alternative uses of some or all of such excess cash. Such alternative uses may include, among others, the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations. Depending upon its actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider the issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible capital markets transactions,$1,180 million for the purpose13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, have been excluded from the Summarized Statement of raising capital which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate purposes, including the redemption or repurchase of debt, equity or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the funding of pension related obligations.

Outlook and Recent Developments
The Company's operations are impacted by competitive pressures from department stores, off-price stores, specialty stores, mass merchandisers, online retailers and all other retail channels. The Company's operations are also impacted by general consumer spending levels, including the impact of general economic conditions, consumer disposable income levels, consumer confidence levels, the availability, cost and level of consumer debt, the costs of basic necessities and other goods and the effects of weather or natural disasters and other factors over whichOn November 16, 2023, the Company has little or no control.updated its annual 2023 guidance as follows:
In recent years, consumer spending levels have been affected to varying degrees by a number of factors, including modest economic growth, uncertainty regarding governmental spending and tax policies, unemployment levels, tightened consumer credit, an improving housing market and a fluctuating stock market. In addition, consumer spending levels of international customers are impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. These factors have affected, to varying degrees, the amount of funds that consumers are willing and able to spend for discretionary purchases, including purchases of some of the merchandise offered by the Company.
All economic conditions ultimately affect the Company's overall operations. However, the effects of economic conditions can be experienced differently and at different times, in the various geographic regions in which the Company operates, in relation to the different types of merchandise that the Company offers for sale, or in relation to each of the Company's branded operations.
On November 9, 2017, the Company issued a press release to report its preliminary earnings for the third quarter of 2017 and reaffirmed its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2017. In summary, the Company expects comparable sales on an owned basis to decline between 2.2 percent and 3.3 percent, with comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis to decline between 2.0 percent and 3.0 percent.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management believes that providing supplemental changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensedowned-plus-licensed basis, which includes the impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties, assists in evaluating the Company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties, on a comparable basis, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company believes provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders that are no longernot associated with the Company’sCompany's core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period providesfrom net income, diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders and EBITDA provide useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company's ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, respectively, and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. Management also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures for components of executive compensation.
The reconciliationCompany does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measuremeasures of changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basissales change, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue and as a percent to GAAP comparablenet sales (i.e., on an owned basis) is in the same manner as illustrated below, where the impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensedand adjusted diluted earnings per share to third parties is the only reconciling item. In addition, the Company does not provide the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders excluding certain itemsmeasures because the timing and amount of excluded items (e.g., impairments, restructuring and other costs, retirement plan settlement charges and net premiums on the early retirement of debt) are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual and future financial condition and performance. Additionally, the amounts received by the Company on account of sales of departments licensed to third parties are limited to commissions received on such sales. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Goodwill and related recoverable assets, presenting income from credit operations as a separate component of revenue and recognizing revenue for online transactions upon shipment rather than delivery. In addition, the gains for certain real estate transactions will generally be recognized earlier than under current guidance due to consideration of the guidance in ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of NonfinancialIntangible Assets (Subtopic 610-20) and the new lease standard discussed below.
The Company does not expectreviews the new guidance to materially impact the revenue recognition associated with gift card breakage as well as the accounting forcarrying value of its warranty arrangements, loyalty programsgoodwill and other customer incentive arrangements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impactintangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually, as of the new standardsend of fiscal May, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change, for possible impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and the final determinationsOther. For impairment testing, goodwill has been assigned to reporting units which consist of the impactCompany's retail operating divisions. Macy's and Bluemercury are the only reporting units with goodwill as of October 28, 2023, and 97% of the new guidance may differ from these initial estimates.
In February 2016,Company's goodwill is allocated to the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
The new standard is effective for the Company on February 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is to be adopted utilizing a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has not yet decided whether it will early adopt the new standard but the Company currently plans to elect the majority of the standard's available practical expedients on adoption.Macy's reporting unit.
The Company expectsmay elect to evaluate qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the new lease standard will havefair value of a material impact onreporting unit or fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets is less than its carrying value. If the Company's consolidated financial statements. Whilequalitative evaluation indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is required. Alternatively, the Company is continuing to assessmay bypass the effects of adoption,qualitative assessment for a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset and directly perform the Company currently believes the most significant changes relate to the recognition of new ROU assetsquantitative assessment. This determination can be made on an individual reporting unit or asset basis, and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for real property and personal property operating leases as well as changes to the timing of recognition of certain real estate asset sale gains in the consolidated statements of income due to applicationperformance of the new sale-leaseback guidancequalitative assessment may resume in a subsequent period.
The quantitative impairment test involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit and ASU No. 2017-05 as discussed above. The Company expects that substantially allindefinite lived intangible asset and comparing these estimated fair values with the respective reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance andfair value, an impairment loss will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and ROU assets upon adoption.

If the carrying value of an individual indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, such individual indefinite lived intangible asset is not expected.written down by an amount equal to such excess.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of any other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Contents
Estimating the fair values of reporting units and indefinite lived intangible assets involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a variety of factors, including projected sales, gross margin and SG&A expense rates, capital expenditures, cash flows and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate and market values and multiples of earnings and revenues of similar public companies. Projected sales, gross margin and SG&A expense rate assumptions and capital expenditures are based on the Company's annual business plan or other forecasted results. Discount rates reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows of the reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset.
The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in the goodwill impairment testing process, including with respect to the estimated future cash flows of the Company's reporting units, the discount rate used to discount such estimated cash flows to their net present value, and the reasonableness of the resultant implied control premium relative to the Company's market capitalization, could materially increase or decrease the fair value of the reporting unit and/or its net assets and, accordingly, could materially increase or decrease any related impairment charge.
For its annual goodwill impairment test as of the end of fiscal May 2023, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment test on its reporting units and intangible assets with indefinite lives and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values exceed the carrying values and the reporting units and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not impaired.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company observed a general decline in the market valuation of the Company’s common shares and performed an interim qualitative impairment test on its reporting units. As a result of this test, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded the carrying values and goodwill is not impaired. However, the Company continues to monitor the key inputs to fair value of its reporting units. A sustained decline in market capitalization or future declines in macroeconomic factors or business conditions could result in an impairment charge in future periods.
