3. Fair Value Measurements
ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following threepricing categories:
|
| | |
Level 1: | | Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. |
| |
Level 2: | | Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
| |
Level 3: | | Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques. |
Our cash and cash equivalents are classified as a Level 1 pricing category. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because maturities are three months or less.7

Our long-term investments consist primarily of investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”). The par value of our long-term investments was $124 million as of October 27, 2012, $193 million as of January 28, 2012 and $195 million as of October 29, 2011. The estimated fair value of these securities was $90 million as of October 27, 2012, $153 million as of January 28, 2012 and $158 million as of October 29, 2011.
All ARS are classified as a Level 3 pricing category. The fair value 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 20162037 to 2041. The weighted-average maturity date is 20342039. The discount rate was calculated using the closest match available for other insured asset backed securities. Discount rates ranged from 2.91%6.57% to 13.41%9.47%. The weighted-average discount rate was 7.72%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.

4. Share-Based Compensation
We currently grant share-based compensation, including options to purchase shares of our common stock and nonvested stock to employees and outside directors, pursuant to the Kohl’s Corporation 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan. Annual grants of stock options and nonvested stock are generally made to eligible employees in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Grants to newly-hired and promoted employees and other discretionary grants are made periodically throughout the remainder of the year. Grants of stock options and nonvested stock are generally made to eligible outside directors upon their initial election to the Board of Directors and annually upon each such director’s re-election.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of each option award during the first nine months of the respective fiscal year based on the following assumptions:

Item 2. 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 thirdfirst quarter” are for the 13-week fiscal periods ended October 27, 2012May 4, 2013 and October 29, 2011 and all references to “year to date” are for the 39-week fiscal periods ended October 27,April 28, 2012 and October 29, 2011..
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2011“2012 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 20112012 Form 10-K (particularly in “Risk Factors”).
Executive Summary
Total sales for the quarter decreased 1.0% and comparable store sales decreased 1.9% from the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in comparable store sales reflects lower selling prices per unit and fewer transactions, partially offset by higher units per transaction. E-Commerce revenues increased 31% and contributed 210 basis points to our comparable store sales.
Despite lower sales, our diluted earnings per share increased 5% to $0.66 in the first quarter of 2013. Net income was $215$147 million ($0.91 per diluted share) for the current year quarter compared to $211and $154 million ($0.80 ($0.63 per diluted share) in the prior year quarter. Year to date, net income was $609 million ($2.54 per diluted share) in 2012 compared to $711 million ($2.56 per diluted share) in 2011.
Total sales forPartially offsetting the third quarter were $4.5 billion this year, an increase of 2.6% over the third quarter of 2011. Year to date, totallower sales were $12.9 billion, an increase of 1.2% over last year. Comparable store sales increased1.1% for the quarter and decreased0.5% year to date. For the quarter, thea 47 basis point increase in comparable store sales was driven by higher average unit retail and units per transaction, partially offset by fewer transactions. The decrease in comparable store sales for the year reflects lower units per transaction and fewer transactions, partially offset by higher average unit retail. E-Commerce sales increased49.6% for the quarter and 41.0% year to date.
Grossgross margin as a percent of net sales decreased44 basis points from the third quarter of 2011 and 143 basis points from the first nine months of 2011 as we focused on improving value for our customer during the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales improved, or “leveraged,” in both periods. Stores, especially payroll, provided the most significant leverage. Advertising and corporate expenses also leveraged for the quarter.strong expense management.
We operated 1,1461,155 stores as of October 27, 2012May 4, 2013 and 1,1271,134 stores as of October 29, 2011. Selling square footage was 83 million at October 27,April 28, 2012 and 81 million at October 29, 2011.. We opened 21nine new stores including one relocated store, and closed one store during the first nine monthsquarter of 2012. We2013 and plan to open 12 stores in 2013 including ninethree more stores in the Spring and three in the Fall. Substantially all of the new stores will be “small” stores with less than 64,000 square feet of retail space. We remodeled 50 stores this year and expectFall season. Additionally, we plan to remodel 30 stores in 2013. We have temporarily reduced our remodel program until we have final results from tests we are doing in our home and beauty areas. We will make changes to our remodels based on the results of these tests and expect to accelerate our remodel program back to a normalized run rate of 100 stores per year in 2014.Fall season.

Drivers of the changes in comparable store sales during the quarter were as follows:
|
| | |
Selling price per unit | (1.1 | )% |
Units per transaction | 2.4 |
|
Average transaction value | 1.3 |
|
Number of transactions | (3.2 | ) |
Comparable store sales | (1.9 | )% |
The decrease in selling price per unit was due to lower prices and higher penetration of clearance merchandise, partially offset by higher selling prices on regular-priced merchandise. Units per transaction increased during the quarter as customers purchased more items in response to the lower prices. The number of transactions declined, primarily as weather negatively impacted customer visits early in the quarter.
Drivers
Sales in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, which are our most weather-sensitive regions, were negatively impacted by colder than normal temperatures in the early months of the changesquarter. When the weather normalized, we saw notable sales improvements in these regions. The West was the strongest region and was the only region which reported a positive comparable sales increase during the quarter. The Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and South Central regions all reported mid-single digit decreases and the Mid-Atlantic region reported a high-single digit decrease in comparable store sales were as follows:
|
| | | | | |

| | 1.7 |
|
Number of transactions | (0.5 | ) | | (2.2 | ) |
Comparable store sales | 1.1 | % | | (0.5 | )% |
The increases in average unit retail are the result of changes in our pricing strategy. During the Fall of 2011, we increased our prices as we passed higher apparel costs on to our customers. During 2012, we reduced our prices, but they remained higher than 2011. Year to date, units per transaction and number of transactions declined in part due to insufficient inventory levels in the first several months of the year to meet the sales demand which resulted from the price reductions.sales.
By line of business, Men's, Footwear, and Children's all outperformed the company averageE-Commerce revenue increased 31% to $330 million for the quarter. Footwear was the strongest category led by athletic shoes. Men's had strong sales in casual sportswear and pants, basics and active wear. Toys was the strongest category in the Children's business. Home reported slightly higher comparable store sales on strength in bedding, electrics and bath. In the Women's business, active, contemporary and classic sportswear and intimates reported the strongest sales growth. As we expected, the juniors' business was again challenging. In Accessories, sterling silver jewelry was the strongest category, while handbags, small leather accessories and bath and beauty also outperformed the company.
Year-to-date, Men's was the strongest line of business and was led by basics and casual sportswear and pants. Footwear also reported anThe increase in year-to-date comparable store sales on increases in both women's and athletic shoes. Accessories were essentially flat and were led by sterling silver. Women's, Home and Children's reported low single-digit comparable store sales declines. Women's had strength in active and fitness apparel and contemporary sportswear. Juniors was challenging. In Children's, toys was the strongest category. Bath and bedding were the strongest Home categories.
From a regional perspective, all regions were slightly positive to slightly negative for the quarter with no significant variations between the regions. The South Central region was the strongest region. Year to date, the Midwest and South Central reported the strongest comparable store sales with slightly positive increases. Comparable stores sales in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West regions declined low single-digits year to date.
Private and exclusive brand penetration increased approximately 150 basis points to 53% of sales for the quarter and approximately 220 basis points to 54% year to date. Most of the penetration increase was a result of new exclusive brands which include Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Princess Vera Wang and Rock & Republic. FILA Sport, Lauren Conrad, and Chaps also generated notably higher penetration for the quarter.
E-Commerce sales increased approximately 50% for the quarter to $295 million and 41% to $782 million year to date. The sales growth is primarily due to an increase in the number of on-lineincreased transactions. The increases are the result of our investments in this business including digital marketing to drive traffic to the site and the availability of additional merchandise offerings.
By line of business, all categories reported modest sales declines. Increased sales in basics and other non-seasonal merchandise were more than offset by lower sales in seasonal merchandise categories. Home, Accessories and Footwear reported sales declines that were better than the company average. Home reported strong sales in electrics and luggage. In the Footwear business, athletic shoes reported the largest sales increase. Bath & beauty, watches and sterling silver jewelry reported the largest sales increases in the Accessories business. Sales declines in the Women's business were consistent with the company average. In Women's, the active and fitness category reported the largest sales increase. Sales in the Men's and Children's businesses decreased more than the company average. In Men's, the tailored and dress category reported the strongest sales. Children's reported consistent sales decreases across all apparel categories.

lower shipping losses. E-Commerce decreased our gross margin rate by approximately 6070 basis points for both the quarter and year to date periods in 2012. Thisquarter. 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 grows, it also has 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); rent expense and other 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; advertising 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 costs.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.
StoreSG&A decreased $5 million, or 1%, for the quarter. The decrease in SG&A reflects lower store payroll, remodel costs and marketing expenses and higher net revenues from our credit card operations. These decreases were partially offset by higher distribution center, information technology ("IT") and fixed store costs. SG&A as a percent of sales decreased,increased, or “leveraged,”"deleveraged," by approximately 10 basis points for the quarter.
Store payroll costs continued to be well-managed despite volatility in our sales during both periodsthe quarter. Remodel costs declined as all 2013 remodels will occur in the Fall. Rent-related and other fixed store costs deleveraged due to continued implementation of electronic signs and strong payroll management. Fixed costs generally were flat as a percentage of sales during both periods. Corporate operationsthe lower than planned sales.
Advertising reported significant leverage in both periods,during the quarter, primarily due to lower incentive costs. Remodel costs were also lowertemporary reductions in the year-to-date periodspending as we remodeled 50 stores this year and 100 stores last year.refocus our spending to increase the impact of our marketing investments.
Distribution centers did not leverage in eitherduring the period due to growth in our E-Commerce business. Information technologyIT costs also did not leverage due to continued investments in our technology infrastructure. We continue to improve our efficiency in E-Commerce fulfillment which reported significant leverage as a percent of E-Commerce sales.
Net revenues from our credit card operations decreased $1increased approximately $10 million for the quarter and increased $30 million yearquarter. The increase was the result of higher finance charge revenues due to date. Higherhigher average receivables contributedand higher late fees due to higher revenuesgrowth in both periods. Year to date, a more favorable revenue sharing percentage pursuant to the current Capital One program agreement also contributed to the increase in net credit card revenues.portfolio. Offsetting these increases in both periods were higher costs associated with a new credit card servicing platform.
Advertising leveraged for the quarter, but not year to date. The decrease in the quarter is primarily due to incremental spending in 2011 to support the Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony brand launches.

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. In addition, quarterly results of operations are impacted by the timing and amount of sales and costs associated with the opening of new stores.
Although we expect that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, affecting consumers, 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. We experienced 10-15% increases in apparel costs in 2011. 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 expect to see modest decreases in apparel costs.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Our primary ongoing cash requirements are for capital expenditures in connection with our expansionfor new stores, remodels and remodeling programsIT spending and for seasonal and new store inventory purchases. Share repurchases and dividend payments to shareholders are currently anotherother significant usageusages 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 for our business activities are cash flowflows 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. Seasonal cash needs to purchase inventory for the November and December holiday selling season 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 $$703305 million of cash in 2012,2013, compared to $$1.1 billion417 million in 2011. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increased inventory purchases in 2012.2012.
Merchandise inventory, excluding E-Commerce, increased 13%10% over April 28, 2012 to $4.0$3.2 million per store as of October 27, 2012 compared to $3.5 million per store as of October 29, 2011. Inventory units per store, excluding E-Commerce, as of October 2012 were 14% higher than October 2011 and 3% higher than October 2010, as we increased inventory during 20122013 to more normalized levels. Accounts payable as a percent of inventory of 50.5%was 36.7% at October 27,May 4, 2013, compared to 46.6% at April 28, 2012 was comparable. The decrease is primarily due to 50.4%inventory turn deterioration and lower accounts payable balances, as we reduced our receipts at October 29, 2011.the end of the quarter in reaction to slower seasonal sales at the beginning of the quarter.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities reflects a $114$42 million decrease in capital spending primarily due to lower spending onfewer remodels and new stores, partially offset by higher technology spending. Lower capital spending was offset by a $75 million decrease in proceeds from auction rate security sales. We expect capital spending of approximately $800 million in fiscal 2012.
Financing Activities. Financing activities used cash of $201 million in 2013 and $790417 million in 2012 and $2.0 billion in 2011.
We paid cash for treasury stock purchases settled during the first nine months of $109 million in 2013 and $325 million in 2012 of .$883 million and $2.0 billion in the first nine months of 2011. The shares were purchased as part of our share repurchase program. In November 2012, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization under our existing share repurchase program by $3.2 billion, to $3.5 billion. We expect to repurchase shares in open market transactions, subject to market conditions, over the next three years.
We repaid long-term debt of $300 million in March 2011 and $100 million in October 2011. In October 2011, we issued $650 million of 4.00% notes with semi-annual interest payments beginning in May 2012. In September 2012, we issued $350 million of 3.25% notes with semi-annual interest payments beginning in February 2013.

The increase in the debt/capitalization ratio reflects the issuance of $350 million of debt in September 2012 and lower capitalization, primarily due to share repurchases.
Debt Covenant Compliance. As of October 27, 2012, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and expect to remain in compliance during fiscal 2012.

Free Cash Flow. We generated free cash flow of $(18)146 million in 20122013 compared to $284216 million in 20112012. The decrease is primarily due to higher inventory levels,lower cash from operating activities, partially offset by lower capital expenditures, as we increased inventory during 2012 todiscussed in more normalized levels, which exceeded the related increase in accounts payable.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 additional cash flow from our business operations.

Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 20112012 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not provided any financial guarantees as of October 27, 2012May 4, 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 20112012 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 20112012 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"“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 athe reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 ourmanagement, 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
During the quarter ended July 30, 2011, we identified a material weakness in our controls over the accounting for leases. The principal factor that contributed to this material weakness was the misinterpretation of complex accounting
standards related to leases where we, as the lessee, are involved in asset construction pursuant to ASC 840, “Leases.” This material weakness resulted in a number of errors in our accounting for leases and contributed to the restatement in September 2011 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2011 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011.
To remediate this material weakness, we implemented remedial measures including a review of all of our leases to correct instances where we were not complying with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, we developed updated procedures to reflect the technical guidance for lease accounting and instituted additional management review to confirm the proper implementation of accounting standards going forward.
During August 2012, we performed the testing necessary to determine that the material weakness related to these controls has been remediated. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 4, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.our internal control over financial reporting.
