US’ Macy’s net sales expected to be around $8,161-$8,401 mn in Q4 FY22


Leading American chain of high-end department stores Macy’s net sales are expected to be at the low-end to mid-point of the previously issued range of $8,161 to $8,401 million in the fourth quarter (Q4) of fiscal 2022 (FY22). The company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) are estimated to be in the previously issued range of $1.47 to $1.67.

On a percentage basis, Macy’s total end-of-quarter inventories were on track to be slightly below last year and down mid-teens relative to 2019, the company said in a press release.

“Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales were in line with our expectations, while the week leading up to and following Christmas were ahead. However, the lulls of the non-peak holiday weeks were deeper than anticipated. Overall, our occasion apparel and gift-giving businesses were strengths and inventory composition and price points aligned with customers’ needs. Throughout the season, Bloomingdale’s continued to outperform. Across nameplates, we stayed close to our customer, utilising data, and analytics tools to respond to shifts in demand. This has contributed to clean inventories and an expected gross margin rate roughly in line with previously issued fourth quarter guidance,” said Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc.
