Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Accounting Policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our most recent Form 10-K.

We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

We operate as a single segment that includes all of our operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels. Nearly all of our revenues are generated in the U.S. The vast majority of our long-lived assets are located within the U.S.

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.

Merchandise sales — We record almost all retail store revenues at the point of sale. Digitally originated sales may include shipping revenue and are recorded upon delivery to the guest or upon guest pickup at the store. Sales are recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns and our expectation of future returns. As of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, the accrual for estimated returns was $186 million, $172 million, and $198 million, respectively.

Revenue from Target gift card sales is recognized upon gift card redemption, which is typically within one year of issuance.

			NOTES			Index to Notes

Credit card profit sharing — We receive payments under a credit card program agreement with TD Bank Group (TD). Under the agreement, we receive a percentage of the profits generated by the Target Circle credit card receivables in exchange for performing account servicing and primary marketing functions. TD underwrites, funds, and owns Target Circle credit card receivables, controls risk management policies, and oversees regulatory compliance.

Other — Includes commissions earned on third-party sales through our Target Plus third-party digital marketplace, Shipt membership and service revenues, rental income, Target Circle 360 membership revenue, and other miscellaneous revenues.

3. Interchange Fee Settlements

In March 2025, we entered into settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which we were a plaintiff. As a result of these lump-sum settlements, we recorded gains within SG&A Expenses of $593 million, net of legal fees.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels reflecting the significant inputs used to determine fair value.


Financial Instruments Measured On a Recurring Basis			Fair Value
(millions)	Classification	Measurement Level	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024

(a)The carrying amounts of certain other current assets, commercial paper, accounts payable, and certain accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

(b)The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for the instruments. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates. These amounts exclude commercial paper, fair value hedge adjustments, and lease liabilities.

5. Supplier Finance Programs

We have arrangements with several financial institutions to act as our paying agents to certain vendors. The arrangements also permit the financial institutions to provide vendors with an option, at our vendors' sole discretion, to sell their receivables from Target to the financial institutions. A vendor’s election to receive early payment at a discounted amount from the financial institutions does not change the amount that we must remit to the financial institutions or our payment date, which is up to 120 days from the invoice date.

We do not pay any fees or pledge any security to these financial institutions under these arrangements. The arrangements can be terminated by either party with notice ranging up to 120 days.

Our outstanding vendor obligations eligible for early payment under these arrangements totaled $3.3 billion, $3.7 billion, and $3.3 billion as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively, and are included within Accounts Payable on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Our outstanding vendor obligations do not represent actual receivables sold by our vendors to the financial institutions, which have historically been lower.

6. Commercial Paper and Long-Term Debt

In March 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of unsecured debt with a fixed rate of 5.0 percent that matures in April 2035.

In April 2025, we repaid at maturity $1.5 billion of unsecured debt with a fixed rate of 2.25 percent.

We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program. There was no commercial paper outstanding at any time during the three months ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which we monitor on an ongoing basis. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the fair value and classification of these instruments.

We were party to interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.20 billion as of May 3, 2025, and February 1, 2025, and $2.45 billion as of May 4, 2024. We pay a floating rate and receive a fixed rate under each of these agreements. All of the agreements are designated as fair value hedges, and all were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method during the three months ended May 3, 2025, and May 4, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Summary

First quarter 2025 included the following notable items:

•GAAP diluted earnings per share were $2.27 and Adjusted EPS1 were $1.30.

•Net Sales were $23.8 billion, a decrease of 2.8 percent from the comparable prior-year period.

•Comparable sales decreased 3.8 percent, reflecting a 2.4 percent decrease in traffic and a 1.4 percent decrease in average transaction amount.

◦Comparable stores-originated sales declined 5.7 percent.

◦Comparable digitally-originated sales increased 4.7 percent.

•Operating income of $1.5 billion, including $593 million of pretax net gains related to interchange fee settlements further described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements.


Earnings Per Share	Three Months Ended
	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024		Change
GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	2.27	$	2.03	11.7	%
Adjustments	(0.97)		—
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$	1.30	$	2.03	(35.9)	%

Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

1Adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS), a non-GAAP metric, excludes the impact of certain items. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided on page 19.

We report after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) because we believe ROIC provides a meaningful measure of our capital allocation effectiveness over time. For the trailing twelve months ended May 3, 2025, after-tax ROIC was 15.1 percent, compared with 15.4 percent for the trailing twelve months ended May 4, 2024. The calculation of ROIC is provided on page 20.

Business Environment

Our financial results for the quarter ended May 3, 2025, reflected several challenges, including recent declines in consumer confidence, uncertainty regarding the impact of potential tariffs, the reaction to updates we shared in January on our approach to belonging, as well as the continued trend of reduced consumer spending in discretionary categories. While we believe each of these factors played a meaningful role in our first quarter performance, we can't reasonably estimate the impact of each one separately.

Recently, the United States (U.S.) imposed a range of tariffs on all products manufactured in foreign countries and jurisdictions, and subsequently imposed incremental tariffs, paused, modified, or issued specific exceptions to recently imposed tariffs, and indicated that the U.S. is actively negotiating country-specific agreements that it expects will result in changes to imposed tariff rates. Approximately one-half of the merchandise we offer is sourced from outside the U.S., either directly or indirectly, with China as our single largest source of merchandise we import.

We are closely monitoring the evolving consumer and regulatory landscape and adjusting plans as needed, including, but not limited to, vendor negotiations, assortment changes, movements in country of production, adjustments in order unit quantities and timing, and pricing strategies. Additionally, we are working closely with industry associations and government leaders, all with a goal to continue delivering the products our guests expect and minimizing the impact of tariffs on our guests. The collective interaction of tariffs, sourcing strategies, pricing actions, consumer response and behaviors, and other factors, could materially impact our sales and results of operations in future periods.

(a)Reflects the impact of a reclassification of prior year amounts, which were not material, to conform with current year presentation.

Note: Gross margin (GM) is calculated as Net Sales less Cost of Sales. All rates are calculated by dividing the applicable amount by Net Sales. We updated the prior period gross margin rate to conform to the current year calculation, which resulted in an approximate 1 percentage point increase in our gross margin rate for the 2024 period presented.

Net Sales

Net sales includes all Merchandise Sales and revenues from other sources, most notably advertising revenue and credit card profit-sharing income.

Merchandise Sales are net of expected returns, and our estimate of gift card breakage. Comparable sales include all Merchandise Sales, except sales from stores open less than 13 months or that have been closed. We use comparable sales to evaluate the performance of our stores and digital channels by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. 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. Digitally originated sales include all Merchandise Sales initiated through mobile applications and our websites. Our stores fulfill the majority of digitally originated sales, including shipment from stores to guests, store Order Pickup or Drive Up, and Same Day Delivery. Digitally originated sales may also be fulfilled through our distribution centers, our vendors, or other third parties.

Merchandise Sales growth—from both comparable sales and new stores—represents an important driver of our long-term profitability. We expect that comparable sales growth will drive a significant portion of our total sales growth. We believe that our ability to successfully differentiate our guests’ shopping experience through a careful combination of merchandise assortment, price, convenience, guest experience, and other factors will over the long-term drive both increasing shopping frequency (number of transactions, or "traffic") and the amount spent each visit (average transaction amount).

Note 2 to the Financial Statements provides additional product category sales information. The collective interaction of a broad array of macroeconomic, competitive, and consumer behavioral factors, as well as sales mix and the transfer of sales to new stores, makes further analysis of sales metrics infeasible.

We monitor the percentage of purchases that are paid for using Target Circle Cards™ (Target Circle Card Penetration) because our internal analysis has indicated that a meaningful portion of the incremental purchases on our Target Circle Cards are also incremental sales for Target. Guests receive a 5 percent discount on virtually all purchases when they use a Target Circle Card at Target. For the three months ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, total Target Circle Card Penetration was 17.4 percent and 18.0 percent, respectively.

Gross Margin Rate

Quarter-to-Date

For the three months ended May 3, 2025, our gross margin rate was 28.2 percent compared with 28.8 percent in the comparable prior-year period. For the three months ended May 3, 2025, the changes reflected the net impact of

•merchandising activities, including higher markdown rates, partially offset by growth in advertising and other revenues;

•higher supply chain and digital fulfillment costs due to new supply chain facilities coming online and an increase in digital penetration; and

•lower inventory shrink.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Rate

For the three months ended May 3, 2025, our SG&A expense rate was 19.3 percent compared with 21.0 percent for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease reflected a favorable impact of interchange fee settlements of approximately 2.5 percentage points, as further described in Note 3, partially offset by the deleveraging impact of lower Net Sales, and the net impact of other costs.

Net Interest Expense

For the three months ended May 3, 2025, net interest expense was $116 million compared with $106 million in the comparable prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in interest income.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 3, 2025, was 25.0 percent compared with 22.7 percent in the comparable prior-year period. The increase primarily reflects discrete tax expense in the current year related to share-based compensation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To provide additional transparency, we disclose non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes certain items presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share. Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS differently, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

(a)Note 3 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.

Earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels, and, for EBITDA, capital investment. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The most comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBIT and EBITDA differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparisons with other companies.

We have also disclosed after-tax ROIC, which is a ratio based on GAAP information, with the exception of the add-back of operating lease interest to operating income.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation

We follow a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation based on the following priorities, ranked in order of importance: first, we fully invest in opportunities to profitably grow our business, create sustainable long-term value, and maintain our current operations and assets; second, we maintain a competitive quarterly dividend and seek to grow it annually; and finally, we return any excess cash to shareholders by repurchasing shares within the limits of our credit rating goals.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.9 billion, $4.8 billion, and $3.6 billion as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance includes short-term investments of $2.0 billion, $3.9 billion, and $2.7 billion as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively. 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 dollar limits on our investments in individual funds or instruments.

Operating Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $0.3 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended May 3, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively. The operating cash flows reflect the net earnings impact of gains on interchange fee settlements, offset by lower sales, as well as increased inventory levels and lower accounts payable leverage in the current year period.

Inventory

Inventory was $13.0 billion as of May 3, 2025, compared with $12.7 billion and $11.7 billion as of February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively. The balance as of May 3, 2025, reflects the impact of lower-than-expected sales across all core merchandise categories, with the most significant impacts within Apparel & Accessories, Hardlines, and Home Furnishings & Décor.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash required for investing activities increased to $0.8 billion for the three months ended May 3, 2025, compared to $0.7 billion for the three months ended May 4, 2024, due to higher capital investments.

Dividends

We paid dividends totaling $510 million ($1.12 per share) for the three months ended May 3, 2025, and $508 million ($1.10 per share) for the three months ended May 4, 2024, a per share increase of 1.8 percent. We declared dividends totaling $515 million ($1.12 per share) during the first quarter of 2025 and $516 million ($1.10 per share) during the first quarter of 2024, a per share increase of 1.8 percent. 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.

Share Repurchase

We deployed $251 million to repurchase shares during the three months ended May 3, 2025. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 8 to the Financial Statements for more information.

Financing

Our financing strategy is to ensure liquidity and access to capital markets, to maintain a balanced spectrum of debt maturities, and to manage our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility. 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 3, 2025, 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	F1

If our credit ratings were lowered, our ability to access the debt markets, 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.

In March 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of debt, and in April 2025, we repaid $1.5 billion of debt. Note 6 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.

We have the ability to obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program and credit facilities. Our committed $1.0 billion 364-day and $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities that will expire in October 2025 and October 2028, respectively, provide a liquidity backstop to our commercial paper program. No balances were outstanding under either credit facility at any time during 2025 or 2024. There was no commercial paper outstanding as of either May 3, 2025, or May 4, 2024. Note 6 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.

Most of our long-term debt obligations contain covenants related to secured debt levels. In addition to a secured debt level covenant, our credit facilities also contain a debt leverage covenant. We are, and expect to remain, in compliance with these covenants. Additionally, as of May 3, 2025, no notes or debentures contained provisions requiring acceleration of payment upon a credit 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 credit ratings are either reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade, or our long-term credit ratings are placed on watch for possible reduction and those ratings are subsequently reduced and the resulting rating is non-investment grade.

We believe our sources of liquidity, namely operating cash flows, credit facility capacity, and access to capital markets, will continue to be adequate to meet our contractual obligations, working capital, and planned capital expenditures, finance anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives, fund debt maturities, pay dividends, and execute purchases under our share repurchase program for the foreseeable future.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of 2025, we implemented a new technology platform that supports the transaction processing of our Target Circle Card program. In connection with this implementation, we modified the design of certain internal control processes and procedures. There were no other changes during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 at a reasonable assurance level. 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 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.
