KOHL'S CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for fiscal
year end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K (Commission
File No. 1-11084) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
2. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized. Fu11 year amortization expense of
goodwill for fiscal year 2001 is projected to be $5.2 million. The remaining
balance of goodwill at the end of fiscal year 2001 is projected to be $9.3
million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company will cease amortization of
its remaining goodwill balance beginning in fiscal year 2002. The Company will
perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and has not yet determined the
extent of any impairment losses on its existing goodwill. However, such losses,
if any, are not expected to be material to the consolidated financial
statements.
4. Merchandise Inventories
The Company uses the last-in, first out (LIFO) method of accounting for
merchandise inventory because it results in a better matching of cost and
revenues. The following information is provided to show the effects of the LIFO
provision on the quarter, as well as to provide users with the information to
compare to other companies not on LIFO.

been valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
5. Debt
On March 8, 2001, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal
amount of non-callable 6.30% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2011. Net
proceeds were $297.4 million and will be used for general corporate purposes,
including continued store growth.
6. Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal matters arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such
proceedings and litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
7. Net Income Per Share
The numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted net income per
share is net income. The denominator is summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 4, 2001
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
At August 4, 2001, the Company operated 354 stores compared with 298 stores
at the same time last year. During the first half of the year, the Company
successfully opened 34 stores including entering the Atlanta, GA market with 15
stores and the Fayetteville/Ft. Smith market in Arkansas with three stores. The
remaining 16 stores included the addition of four stores in the Hartford/New
Haven, CT market and 12 stores in other existing regions. The Company opened
four additional stores after August 4, 2001: two stores in El Paso, TX and two
additional stores in the Chicago market. In October, Kohl's plans to open 24 new
stores entering the Oklahoma City, OK market with four stores and the Austin, TX
market with three stores. In addition, the Company will add three stores in the
Atlanta, GA market; two stores in the Louisville, KY market and two stores in
the Baltimore, MD market. The remaining 10 stores include stores in other
existing regions. The 28 store openings during the second half of the year will
bring the total new stores opened during fiscal 2001 to 62.
Net sales increased $260.3 million or 20.7% to $1,515.7 million for the
three months ended August 4, 2001 from $1,255.4 million for the three months
ended July 29, 2000. Of the increase, $192.2 million is attributable to the
inclusion of 22 new stores opened in 2000 and 34 new stores opened in 2001. The
remaining $68.1 million is attributable to comparable store sales growth of
5.4%.
Net sales increased $520.1 million or 20.9% to $3,004.1 million for the six
months ended August 4, 2001 from $2,484.0 million for the six months ended July
29, 2000. Of the increase, $397.3 million is attributable to the inclusion of 61
new stores opened in 2000 and 34 new stores opened in 2001. The remaining $122.8
million is attributable to comparable stores sales growth of 5.6%.
Gross margin for the three months ended August 4, 2001 was $536.8 million
or 35.4% compared to 34.9% for the three months ended July 29, 2000. Gross
margin for the six months ended August 4, 2001 was $1,057.6 million or 35.2%
compared to 34.8% for the six months ended July 29, 2000. These increases are
primarily attributable to the mix of merchandise sold and continued improvements
related to inventory management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 22.7% of net sales
for the three months ended August 4, 2001 from 22.9% of net sales for the three
months ended July 29, 2000. Selling,
9
general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 4, 2001
declined to 22.7% of net sales from 22.9% for the six months ended July 29,
2000. These decreases are a result of leverage achieved on the increase in net
sales.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended August 4, 2001,
was $38.4 million compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended July 29,
2000. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended August 4, 2001 was
$75.2 million compared to $59.7 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000.
These increases are primarily attributable to capital spending related to new
store openings.
Preopening expense for the three months ended August 4, 2001 was $2.2
million compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000.
Preopening expense for the six months ended August 4, 2001 was $15.4 million
compared to $21.9 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. These
decreases are primarily due to the number of new stores opened and the mix of
new market and fill-in locations versus the prior year. Preopening expenses
relate to the costs associated with new store openings, including advertising,
hiring and training costs for new employees, and processing and transporting
initial merchandise.
As a result of the above factors, operating income for the three months
ended August 4, 2001 increased $35.9 million or 30.8% over the three months
ended July 29, 2000. Operating income for the six months ended August 4, 2001
increased $72.2 million or 33.9% over the six months ended July 29, 2000.
Net interest expense for the three months ended August 4, 2001 was $12.8
million compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000. Net
interest expense for the six months ended August 4, 2001 was $23.3 million
compared to $22.3 million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. These
increases are a result of increased net borrowings offset by lower interest
rates.
Net income for the three months ended August 4, 2001 increased 34.6% to
$86.5 million from $64.3 million for the three months ended July 29, 2000.
Earnings were $0.25 per diluted share for the three months ended August 4, 2001
compared to $0.19 per diluted share for the three months ended July 29, 2000.
Net income for the six months ended August 4, 2001 increased 38.2% to $161.6
million or $0.47 per diluted share from $116.9 million or $0.35 per diluted
share for the six months ended July 29, 2000.
Seasonality & Inflation
- -----------------------
The Company's business, like that of most retailers, is subject to seasonal
influences, with the major portion of sales and income typically realized during
the last half of each fiscal year,
10
which includes the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Approximately 16% and 30%
of sales typically occur during the back-to-school and holiday seasons,
respectively. Because of the seasonality of the Company's 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 depend
significantly upon the timing and amount of revenues and costs associated with
the opening of new stores.
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on
the results during the periods presented. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company's business will not be affected in the future.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
The Company's primary ongoing cash requirements are for seasonal and new
store inventory purchases, the growth in credit card accounts receivable and
capital expenditures in connection with the expansion and remodeling programs.
The Company's primary sources of funds for its business activities are cash flow
from operations, financing secured by its proprietary accounts receivable,
borrowings under its revolving credit facility and short-term trade credit.
Short-term trade credit, in the form of extended payment terms for inventory
purchases or third party factor financing, represents a significant source of
financing for merchandise inventories. The Company's working capital and
inventory levels typically build throughout the fall, peaking during the holiday
selling season. In addition, the Company periodically accesses capital markets,
as needed, to finance its growth.
The Company's working capital increased to $1,496.1 million at August 4,
2001 from $1,198.6 million at February 3, 2001 and from $1,060.5 million at July
29, 2000. Of the $435.6 million increase from July 29, 2000, $169.4 million is
attributable to higher credit card receivables and $160.3 million is related to
an increase in merchandise inventories offset in part by an increase in accounts
payable. These increases are reflective of the Company's store growth and
increase in net sales. The remaining increase is primarily related to the
short-term investment of proceeds from the issuance of $300 million unsecured
senior notes.
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 million for the six months
ended August 4, 2001 compared to cash used in operating activities of $72.9
million for the six months ended July 29, 2000. Excluding changes in operating
assets and liabilities, cash provided by operating activities was $300.5 million
for the six months ended August 4, 2001 compared to $244.8 million for the six
months ended July 29, 2000.
11
Capital expenditures for the six months ended August 4, 2001 were $299.1
million compared to $239.1 million for the same period a year ago. The increase
in expenditures is primarily attributable to the timing of spending related to
new stores.
The Company opened 34 new stores during the first half of the year, four
stores after August 4, 2001 and plans to open 24 additional stores in October.
At the end of fiscal 2001, a distribution center is scheduled to open in
Mamakating, New York to support Northeast Expansion, including the entry into
Boston, MA. In addition, Kohl's has acquired the lease rights to a distribution
facility in Corsicana, Texas. This facility is expected to open by the end of
the year and will serve existing Texas locations and support further expansion
in the region, including the entry into Houston in spring 2002.
Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 are expected to be approximately
$700 million. This estimate includes the purchase of favorable lease rights for
15 stores from Bradlees Inc., the renovation and refixturing of the properties,
the capital required to open distribution facilities, new store spending as well
as base capital needs. The actual amount of the Company's future annual capital
expenditures will depend primarily on the number of new stores opened, whether
such stores are owned or leased by the Company and the number of existing stores
remodeled or refurbished.
In March 2001, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principle amount
of non-callable 6.3% unsecured senior notes due March 2011. The proceeds will be
used for general corporate purposes, including continued store growth.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to satisfy its working capital
requirements, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements with
proceeds from its recent $300 million note issuance, short term trade credit,
$225 million of available financing secured by its proprietary credit card
accounts receivable, seasonal borrowings under its $300 million revolving credit
facility and other sources of financing. The Company expects to generate
adequate cash flows from operating activities to sustain current levels of
operations. The Company maintains favorable banking relations and anticipates
that the necessary credit agreements will be extended or new agreements will be
entered into in order to provide future borrowing requirements as needed.
Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Item 2 of this Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements," subject to
protections under federal law. The Company intends words such as "believes",
"anticipates", "plans", "may", "will", "should", "expects", and similar
expressions to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements
covering
12
Company's future sales or financial performance and the Company's plans,
objectives, expectations or intentions are forward-looking statements, such as
statements regarding the Company's liquidity, debt service requirements, planned
capital expenditures, future store openings and adequacy and capital resources.
There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company's results
to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
Among these factors are those risk factors described in Exhibit 99.1 to the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2001 and
such factors as may periodically be described in the Company's filings with the
SEC.
