"With our strong balance sheet and cashflow generation, we can be flexible on timing of transactions. In order to maximize value of remaining assets, we now expect closures through 2028."
"Several major milestones had been hit last year, citing a return to positive comparable sales for total Macy's Inc. and Macy's Nameplate. Macy's success marked an important inflection point for the chain, as the brand hit better-than-expected results in every quarter."
Macy's announced a significant modification to its store closure strategy during an earnings call. The chain confirmed it will complete 150 planned store closures, but only 65 locations remain to be shuttered. The timeline for these closures has been extended through 2028, allowing the company flexibility in executing the plan. This decision follows strong financial results, including positive comparable sales across the Macy's nameplate and better-than-expected quarterly performance. CEO Tony Spring characterized these results as an important inflection point for the chain. CFO Tom Edwards attributed the extended timeline to the company's strong balance sheet and cash flow generation, enabling strategic decisions to maximize asset value.
