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

For purposes of the following discussion, unless noted, all references to "the quarter” and “the second quarter” are for the three fiscal months (13 weeks) ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023. References to "year to date" and "first half" are for the six fiscal months (26 weeks) ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” made within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "may," "intends," "will," "should," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the statements under management's discussion and analysis, financial and capital allocation outlook and may include comments about our future sales or financial performance and our plans, performance and other objectives, expectations or intentions, such as statements regarding our liquidity, debt service requirements, planned capital expenditures, future store initiatives, and adequacy of capital resources and reserves. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s then-current views and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any such forward-looking statements are qualified by the important risk factors, described in Part I Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K, or disclosed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and we undertake no obligation to update them.

Executive Summary

Kohl's is a leading omnichannel retailer operating 1,176 stores and a website (www.Kohls.com) as of August 3, 2024. Our Kohl's stores and website sell moderately-priced private and national brand apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty, and home products. Our Kohl's stores generally carry a consistent merchandise assortment with some differences attributable to local preferences, store size, and Sephora at Kohl's shop-in-shops ("Sephora shops"). Our website includes merchandise which is available in our stores, as well as merchandise that is available only online.

Key financial results for the second quarter include:

Our Strategy

Kohl's strategy is focused on delivering long-term shareholder value. To achieve this, the Company has established four overarching priorities to drive improved sales and profitability. These priorities include enhancing the customer experience, accelerating and simplifying its value strategies, managing inventory and expenses with discipline, and strengthening the balance sheet.

Updated 2024 Financial and Capital Allocation Outlook

For the full year 2024, which has 52 weeks compared to 53 weeks in full year 2023, the Company's guidance excludes the potential impact from credit card late fee regulatory changes in the second half of 2024. The Company currently expects the following:

Results of Operations

Total revenue	$3,732	$3,895	$(163)	$7,114	$7,466	$(352)

 

Net sales includes revenue from the sale of merchandise, net of expected returns and deferrals due to future performance obligations, and shipping revenue.

Net sales decreased 4.2% in the second quarter of 2024 and 4.7% year to date 2024.

Net Sales	$3,525	$3,678	(4.2%)	$6,703	$7,033	(4.7%)

Comparable sales decreased 5.1% in the second quarter of 2024 and 4.8% year to date 2024. Comparable sales is a measure that highlights the performance of our stores and digital channel by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. Comparable sales includes all store and digital sales, except sales from stores open less than twelve months, stores that have been closed, and stores that have been relocated where square footage has changed by more than 10%.

Digital sales decreased 4% in the second quarter of 2024 and 5% year to date 2024. Digital penetration represented 25% of net sales in the second quarter and year to date in both 2024 and 2023. We measure the change in digital sales by including all sales initiated online or through mobile applications, including omnichannel transactions which are fulfilled through our stores. We measure digital penetration as digital sales over net sales. These amounts do not take into consideration fulfillment node, digital returns processed in stores, and coupon behaviors.

Comparable sales and digital penetration measures vary across the retail industry. As a result, our comparable sales calculation and digital penetration may not be consistent with the similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Other revenue includes revenue from credit card operations, third-party advertising on our website, unused gift cards and merchandise return cards (breakage), and other non-merchandise revenue.

Other revenue decreased $10 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $22 million year to date 2024. The decrease in both periods is driven by increasing credit loss rates within our credit business.

As it relates to our credit business and recent regulatory developments, on March 5, 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule lowering the safe harbor dollar amount credit card companies can charge for late fees for a missed payment. Unless ultimately blocked by court order prior to becoming effective, the rule reduces the typical amount of late fees that can be charged, which could have a negative impact on Kohl’s credit card revenues, particularly if Kohl’s steps to mitigate the impact of such rule are not successful. We are actively pursuing various initiatives to mitigate the effects of this potential ruling including scaling our recently launched co-brand card and other various initiatives with Capital One, our credit partner. We are closely monitoring developments on the issue.

Cost of Merchandise Sold and Gross Margin

 

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change		August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change
Net sales	$3,525	$3,678	$(153)		$6,703	$7,033	$(330)
Cost of merchandise sold	2,128	2,242	(114)		4,051	4,289	(238)

Gross margin as a percent of net sales	39.6%	39.0%	59	bps	39.6%	39.0%	54	bps

 

Cost of merchandise sold includes the total cost of products sold, including product development costs, net of vendor payments other than reimbursement of specific, incremental, and identifiable costs; inventory shrink; markdowns; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our vendors to our distribution centers; shipping expenses

---

for digital sales; and terms cash discount. Our cost of merchandise sold may not be comparable with that of other retailers because we include distribution center and buying costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses while other retailers may include these expenses in cost of merchandise sold.

Gross margin is calculated as net sales less cost of merchandise sold. For the second quarter of 2024, gross margin was 39.6% of net sales, an increase of 59 basis points to last year. Year to date 2024, gross margin was 39.6% of net sales, an increase of 54 basis points to last year. In both the second quarter and year to date 2024, the increase was driven by strong inventory management as our inventory was down 9% to last year, as we continue to benefit from operating with greater flexibility, as well as lower freight costs. Year to date, the increase was partially offset by elevated shrink levels.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

 

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change		August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change
SG&A	$1,250	$1,304	$(54)		$2,478	$2,542	$(64)
As a percent of total revenue	33.5%	33.5%	(1)	bps	34.8%	34.1%	78	bps

 

SG&A includes compensation and benefit costs (including stores, corporate, buying, and distribution centers); 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 other than expenses to fulfill digital sales; marketing expenses, offset by vendor payments for reimbursement of specific, incremental, and identifiable costs; expenses related to our credit card operations; and other administrative revenues and expenses. We do not include depreciation and amortization in SG&A. The classification of these expenses varies across the retail industry.

Many of our expenses, including store payroll and distribution costs, are variable in nature. These costs generally increase as sales increase and decrease as sales decrease. We measure our expenses as a percentage of revenue and changes in this percentage compared to the prior year. If the expense as a percent of revenue decreased from the prior year, the expense "leveraged". If the expense as a percent of revenue increased over the prior year, the expense "deleveraged".

The following table summarizes the changes in SG&A by expense type:

 

	Three Months Ended	Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	August 3, 2024
Store expenses	$(59)	$(63)
Distribution	(2)	(13)
Corporate and other	4	5
Marketing	3	7
Total decrease	$(54)	$(64)

 

SG&A expenses decreased $54 million, or 4.2%, to $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A leveraged by one basis point. Year to date 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $64 million, or 2.5%, to $2.5 billion. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A deleveraged by 78 basis points. The decreases in SG&A expenses for both the second quarter and year to date were primarily due to a reduction in store expenses including lower costs due to fewer Sephora shop openings and fewer store refreshes. Partially offsetting this decrease were investments in marketing and technology to support new growth initiatives.

---

Other Expenses

 

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change
Depreciation and amortization	$188	$186	$2	$376	$374	$2
Interest expense, net	86	89	(3)	169	173	(4)

 

The increase in Depreciation and amortization in the first half of 2024 was driven by increased store investments, including the Sephora shops, offset by reduced capital spending in technology.

Net interest expense decreased in the first half of 2024 due to the reduced outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility and reduced outstanding unsecured senior debt, partially offset by a $5 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in connection with a voluntary redemption of the remaining $113 million of outstanding 9.50% notes due May 15, 2025 completed in June 2024.

Income Taxes

 

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change
Provision for income taxes	$14	$16	$(2)	$1	$16	$(15)
Effective tax rate	17.8%	21.7%		3.4%	18.8%

The year to date rates include the recognition of favorable discrete items in the first half of both years. Due to lower pre-tax income, the favorable discrete items had greater impact in 2024.

Seasonality and Inflation

Our business, like that of other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences. Sales and income are typically higher during the back-to-school and holiday seasons. 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.

We expect that our operations will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions, including food, fuel and energy prices, employment rates, wage inflation, and costs to source our merchandise, including tariffs. There can be no assurances that such factors will not impact our business in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation

Our capital allocation strategy is to invest to maximize our overall long-term return and maintain a strong balance sheet, with a long-term objective of achieving an investment grade rating. We follow a disciplined approach to capital allocation based on the following priorities: first we invest in our business to drive long-term profitable growth; second we pay a quarterly dividend; third we will complete debt reduction transactions, when appropriate; and fourth we return excess cash to shareholders through our share repurchase program.

We will continue to invest in the business, as we plan to invest approximately $500 million in 2024, which includes the investment in 350 impulse queuing lines, 140 small format Sephora shop openings, the launch of 200 Babies “R” Us shops, and six new store openings, including one relocation. We remain committed to the dividend, and on August 13, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 25, 2024 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on September 11, 2024. In June 2024, we completed a voluntary redemption of the remaining $113 million of outstanding 9.50% notes due May 15, 2025. We are not planning any share repurchases during the current year.

---

Our period-end Cash and cash equivalents balance increased to $231 million from $204 million in the second quarter of 2023. Our Cash and cash equivalents balance includes short-term investments of $10 million and $8 million as of August 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, 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. We also place dollar limits on our investments in individual funds or instruments.

The following table presents our primary uses and sources of cash:

 

Cash Uses		Cash Sources
• Operational needs, including salaries, rent, taxes, and other operating costs • Inventory • Capital expenditures • Dividend payments • Debt reduction • Share repurchases		• Cash flow from operations • Line of credit under our revolving credit facility • Issuance of debt

 

	Six Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023	Change
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$247	$228	$19
Investing activities	(237)	(335)	98
Financing activities	38	158	(120)

 

Operating Activities

Our operating cash outflows generally consist of payments to our employees for wages, salaries and other employee benefits, payments to our merchandise vendors for inventory (net of vendor allowances), payments to our shipping carriers, and payments to our landlords for rent. Operating cash outflows also include payments for income taxes and interest payments on our debt borrowings.

Operating activities generated $247 million of cash in the first half of 2024 compared to $228 in the first half of 2023. Operating cash flow increased primarily due to inventory management resulting in managing receipts down 7% versus the prior year as well as an increase in accounts payable. We placed a lower percentage of our overall receipts in the early part of the buying cycle to allow for additional flexibility to chase receipts based on trending sales, establish a better flow of goods to our stores and maintain better in-stock positions, with the goal of minimizing the impact of future markdowns and out-of-stock positions.

Investing Activities

Our investing cash outflows include payments for capital expenditures, including investments in new and existing stores, improvements to supply chain, and technology costs. Our investing cash inflows are generally from proceeds from sales of property, equipment, and real estate.

Investing activities used $237 million of cash in the first half of 2024 and $335 million in the first half of 2023. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by fewer Sephora shop openings and other investments, consistent with our reduced capital expenditure plans for fiscal 2024.

At the end of the quarter, we had a Sephora presence in over 1,000 of our stores, including 861 full size 2,500 square foot shops and 189 small format Sephora shops. In 2024, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $500

---

million, which includes the investment in 350 impulse queuing lines, 140 small format Sephora shop openings, the launch of 200 Babies “R” Us shops, and six new store openings, including one relocation.

Financing Activities

Our financing strategy is to ensure adequate liquidity and access to capital markets. We also strive to maintain a balanced portfolio of debt maturities, while minimizing our borrowing costs. Our ability to access the public debt market has provided us with adequate 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.

During the first half of 2024, Fitch downgraded our senior unsecured credit rating from BBB- to BB and revised their outlook to stable. While Moody's reaffirmed our credit rating, they also revised their outlook to stable.

As of August 3, 2024, our senior unsecured credit ratings and outlook were as follows:

 

	Moody’s	S&P	Fitch
Long-term debt	Ba3	BB	BB
Outlook	Stable	Negative	Stable

 

The majority of our financing activities generally include proceeds and/or repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and long-term debt, dividend payments, and repurchases of common stock. Financing cash outflows also include payments to our landlords for leases classified as financing leases and financing obligations.

Financing activities generated $38 million of cash in the first half of 2024 and $158 million of cash in the first half of 2023.

During the first half of 2024, we drew $318 million on our credit facility compared to $475 million drawn in the first half of 2023. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility, recorded as short-term debt, had $410 million outstanding as of August 3, 2024, and had $560 million outstanding as of July 29, 2023.

In the second quarter of 2024, we completed a voluntary redemption of the remaining $113 million of outstanding 9.50% notes due May 15, 2025. In February 2023, $164 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% notes matured and was repaid.

There was no cash used for treasury stock purchases in the first half of 2024 or 2023. Share repurchases are discretionary in nature. The timing and amount of repurchases are based upon available cash balances, our stock price, and other factors. As previously noted, we are not planning any share repurchases during the current year.

Cash dividend payments were $111 million ($1.00 per share) in the first half of 2024 compared to $110 million ($1.00 per share) in the first half of 2023.

Key Financial Ratios

Key financial ratios that provide certain measures of our liquidity are as follows:

 

(Dollars in Millions)	August 3, 2024	July 29, 2023
Working capital	$275	$504
Current ratio	1.08	1.15

 

Our working capital and inventory levels typically build throughout the fall, peaking during the November and December holiday selling season.

---

The decrease in our working capital and current ratio are primarily due to a decrease in inventory due to inventory management as our receipts were down 7% versus the prior year.

Debt Covenant Compliance

Our senior secured, asset based revolving credit facility contains customary events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, a springing financial covenant relating to our fixed charge coverage ratio and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions, and restricted payments. As of August 3, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Contractual Obligations

Aside from the voluntary redemption of the remaining $113 million of outstanding 9.50% notes due May 15, 2025 and the change in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which have been disclosed in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no significant changes in the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not provided any financial guarantees arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons as of August 3, 2024.

We have not created, and are not a 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 financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We redeemed the remaining $113 million of outstanding 9.50% notes due May 15, 2025 in June 2024, which has been disclosed in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no other significant changes in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk described in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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”) 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 the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rule 13a-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 our management, 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

 

Executive	Employee ID	Grant Date	Target Number of Performance Share Units

 

RECITALS:

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") has determined to award to the Executive Performance Share Units, subject to the restrictions contained herein, pursuant to the Company's 2024 Long-Term Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the mutual promises set forth in this agreement and the benefits that the Company expects to derive in connection with the services to be hereafter rendered to it or its subsidiaries by the Executive, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Defined Terms

 

1.1 Determination Date. The Determination Date shall mean the date on which the Committee determines and certifies, following the applicable Performance Period, whether and to what extent the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A have been attained; provided, however, that the Determination Date with respect to the applicable Performance Period shall be no later than April 15 of the calendar year following the end of such Performance Period.

 

1.2 Payment Date. The Payment Date shall mean the date the Committee determines that the shares payable upon achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A shall be paid, which date shall be within thirty (30) business days following the Determination Date.

 

1.3 Performance Share Unit. Performance Share Unit shall mean a nonvoting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be the equivalent to one outstanding share of Common Stock (a “Share”) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Performance Share Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to be made to Executive if such Performance Share Units become payable pursuant to section 2.2 below. The Performance Share Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. Each Performance Share Unit granted hereunder is intended to qualify as a Performance Share expressed in terms of Common Stock, as authorized under Section 12 of the Plan.

 

1.4 Retirement. Retirement shall mean the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason other than by the Company for Cause or due to death or Disability, but only to the extent such termination occurs after the Executive is Retirement Eligible and only to the extent such termination occurs on or following the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

1.5 Retirement Eligible. Retirement Eligible shall mean the Executive has reached age sixty (60) and has been employed with the Company for a continuous period of at least five (5) years.

 

---

ARTICLE II

 

Performance Share Units

 

2.1 Award of Performance Share Units. The Company-hereby grants to the Executive an award of Performance Share Units listed above under the heading "Target Number of Performance Share Units" (the "Performance Share Units"), subject to the restrictions contained herein and the provisions of the Plan.

 

2.2 Performance-Based Right to Payment.

 

(a) The number of Shares that shall be issued pursuant to the Performance Share Units shall be determined based on the Company's achievement of Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A. On the Determination Date, the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine and certify whether and to what extent the Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A have been attained. The payment of Shares with respect to Executive's Performance Share Units is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A. Accordingly, Executive will not become entitled to payment with respect to the Performance Share Units subject to this Agreement unless and until the Committee determines that the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A have been attained. Upon such determination by the Committee and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to payment of that portion of the Performance Share Units as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) as set forth on Exhibit A. Furthermore, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.3, in order to be entitled to payment with respect to any Performance Share Units, Executive must be employed by the Company through the end of the Performance Period.

 

(b) On the Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to Executive a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of Performance Share Units subject to this award that are payable pursuant to the achievement of the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A.

 

2.3 Forfeiture of Performance Share Units Upon Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any provision in any employment agreement or executive compensation agreement between the Executive and the Company to the contrary, upon Executive's termination of employment prior to the end of the Performance Period, all rights with respect to any unpaid Performance Share Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate, and Executive will not be entitled to any payments or benefits with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event of Executive’s termination of employment by reason of Retirement or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, Executive or Executive’s personal representative, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, on the Payment Date, Performance Share Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement that would have been paid had Executive remained employed until the end of the Performance Period. In the event of Executive’s termination of employment by reason of Retirement or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, if delivery of the Shares to the Executive on the Payment Date would cause the Executive to be subject to a penalty under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code because Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), the delivery of the Shares will be delayed until a date which is the first business day after the six (6) months after Executive’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event of Executive’s termination of employment by reason of death prior to the

---

end of the Performance Period, Executive’s beneficiary shall be entitled to receive, as soon as administratively possible, the number of Performance Share Units listed at the top of this Agreement under the “Target Number of Performance Share Units.”

 

2.4 Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Plan, provided, however, any references to "cause" and "good reason" used in Paragraph 19 of the Plan shall be interpreted by applying the definitions of "cause" and "good reason" contained in an employment agreement or executive compensation agreement between the Executive and the Company in effect as of the Grant Date, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Paragraph 19 of the Plan only, the time-based vesting criteria to which this Award is subject to is a requirement for the Executive to continue employment until the end of the Performance Period.

 

2.5 Prohibition Against Transfer. The Performance Share Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Executive, or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any transfer in violation of this Section 2.5 shall be void and of no further effect.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Miscellaneous

 

3.1 Provisions of the Plan Control. This Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan empowers the Committee to make interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder, and, in general, provides that determinations of such Committee with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon the Executive. A copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Executive upon reasonable request.

 

3.2 No Rights as Shareholder. Executive shall not have any right to exercise the rights or privileges of a shareholder with respect to any Performance Share Units or Shares distributable with respect to any Performance Share Units until such Shares are distributed.

 

3.3 Dividend Equivalents. On the Payment Date (or earlier date of payment in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment by reason of death prior to the end of the Performance Period), in addition to the Shares deliverable under Section 2.2 above, the Company shall issue the Executive or Executive’s beneficiary that number of Shares equal to the Dividend Equivalent Amount. The Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be calculated as of the Payment Date, pursuant to this Section 3.3. In calculating the Dividend Equivalent Amount, the Company shall determine the number of Shares that would have been payable to the Executive if the total number of Performance Share Units earned under Section 2.2 had been outstanding as Shares from the Grant Date until the Payment Date (or earlier date of payment in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment by reason of death prior to the end of the Performance Period) and in lieu of any regular cash dividends, on the declared payment date of each regular cash dividend otherwise payable on such Shares (“Dividend Date”), the Company had issued Executive a number of additional Shares with a Dividend Date Market Value equal to: (i) the per-share dollar amount of the declared dividend multiplied by (ii) the number of Performance Share Units earned under Section 2.2 above plus the number of Shares deemed issued hereunder as dividend equivalents as of the declared record date for the dividend. For purposes of calculating the “Dividend Date Market Value” in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use

---

the closing price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date. Shares issued hereunder shall be issued in fractional shares.

 

3.4 Taxes. The Company may require payment of or withhold any income or employment tax which it believes is payable as a result of the grant or vesting of the Performance Share Units or the payment of Shares in connection therewith, and the Company may defer making delivery with respect to the Shares until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made with regard to any such withholding obligation. In accordance with the Plan, the Company may withhold shares of Common Stock to satisfy such withholding obligations.

 

3.5 No Employment Rights. The award of the Performance Share Units pursuant to this Agreement shall not give the Executive any right to remain employed by the Company or any affiliate thereof.

 

3.6 Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing to the Company in care of its Chief Legal Officer at Kohl's, Inc., N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, 53051. Any notice to be given to the Executive may be addressed to him/her at the address as it appears on the payroll records of the Company or any subsidiary thereof. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when actually received by the party to whom it is addressed, as evidenced by a written receipt to that effect.

 

3.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and all questions arising hereunder or in connection herewith shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

 

3.8 Suspension or Termination of Award; Clawback. Executive acknowledges that this Agreement is subject to Section 23 of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the forfeiture of the Award in the event that Executive makes an unauthorized disclosure of any Company trade secret or confidential information or breaches any non-competition agreement.

 

3.9 Award Acceptance. This Award shall not be effective unless the Executive electronically consents to this Agreement via an online platform, access to which will be provided by the Company, indicating the Executive’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. By electronically consenting to this Agreement via the online platform, the Executive acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

“Relative TSR” shall mean Kohl’s TSR compared to the total shareholder returns of the selected companies used in the TSR Modifier Group. Relative TSR will be determined by ranking the company and the selected companies from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs.

P = 1 – [(R - 1) / (N – 1)]

 

Where: “P” represents the percentile performance which will be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile.

 

“N” represents the remaining number of selected companies, plus the Company.

 

“R” represents Company’s ranking among the selected companies.

---

such member company shall be removed from the Performance Index Group and the weighting of the performance of the remaining companies in the Performance Index Group shall be adjusted proportionately in order to calculate the Performance Index.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Retirement prior to the first Anniversary Date set forth in the vesting schedule above and is also a termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason in accordance with the Executive Compensation Agreement, Executive shall continue to vest in the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for the Severance Period following the date of Retirement as if the Executive were still employed with the Company.

(e) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, any outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Plan, provided, however, any references to “cause” and “good reason” used in Paragraph 19 of the Plan shall be interpreted by applying the definitions of “cause” and “good reason” set forth in the Executive Compensation Agreement.

2.3 Prohibition Against Transfer. The Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by Executive, or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any transfer in violation of this Section 2.3 shall be void and of no further effect.

2.4 Release. As a condition to the accelerated vesting of certain Restricted Stock Units in Section 2.2(c) above, in the event of Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the Executive Compensation Agreement by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive (i) shall be required to execute a written release agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company containing, among other items, a general release of claims against the Company, and (ii) must not exercise any right to revoke such release agreement during any applicable rescission period ((i) and (ii), the “Release Conditions).” If Executive fails to satisfy the Release Conditions within sixty (60) days of the Executive’s termination of employment, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

2.5 Share Delivery. On the Payment Date, or within sixty (60) days following the Payment Date for any Payment Date that is not the applicable Anniversary Date, the Company shall deliver to Executive a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that have become vested pursuant to Section 2.2 above.

A copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Executive upon reasonable request.

3.2 References to Executive Compensation Agreement. All references to the Executive Compensation Agreement herein shall refer to the Executive Compensation Agreement in effect on the date of grant of Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding that, at the time of a termination of Executive’s employment, the Executive and Company may no longer be parties to such Executive Compensation Agreement or may have amended such Executive Compensation Agreement, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such Executive Compensation Agreement were still in place (including any requirements to give notice, etc.).

On the Payment Date, in addition to the Shares deliverable under Section 2.5 above, the Company shall issue the Executive or Executive’s beneficiary that number of Shares equal to the “Dividend Equivalent Amount.” The Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be calculated as of the Payment Date, pursuant to this Section 3.4. In calculating the Dividend Equivalent Amount, the Company shall determine the number of Shares that would have been payable to the Executive if the total number of Restricted Stock Units vested under Section 2.2 had been outstanding as Shares from the Grant Date until the Payment Date and in lieu of any regular cash dividends, on the declared payment date of each regular cash dividend otherwise payable on such Shares (“Dividend Date”), the Company had issued Executive a number of additional Shares with a “Dividend Date Market Value” equal to: (i) the per-share dollar amount of the declared dividend multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units vested under Section 2.2 above plus the number of Shares deemed issued hereunder as dividend equivalents as of the declared record date for the dividend. For purposes of calculating the “Dividend Date Market Value” in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use the closing price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date. Shares issued hereunder shall be issued in fractional shares.

3.5 Taxes. The Company may require payment of or withhold any income or employment tax from any amount payable under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or from any other compensation payable to Executive as is required under law with respect to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including, as necessary, the right to withhold from other wages payable to Executive to satisfy the Company’s Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax withholding obligation in the taxable year that any portion of this Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as such term is defined under the FICA regulations, and the Company may defer making delivery with respect to Shares until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made with regard to any such withholding obligation. In accordance with the Plan, the Company may withhold shares of Common Stock to satisfy such withholding obligations.

3.6 Section 409A. To the extent this Award is or becomes subject to Section 409A, this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance promulgated thereunder, including the final regulations.

 

3.7 No Employment Rights. The award of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement shall not give the Executive any right to remain employed by the Company or any affiliate thereof.

3.8 Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing to the Company in care of its Chief Legal Officer at Kohl’s, Inc., N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, 53051. Any notice to be given to the Executive may be addressed to him/her at the address as it appears on the payroll records of the Company or any subsidiary thereof. Any such

---

notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when actually received by the party to whom it is addressed, as evidenced by a written receipt to that effect.

3.9 Governing Law. This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and all questions arising hereunder or in connection herewith shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

3.10 Suspension or Termination of Award; Clawback.

By electronically consenting to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement via the online platform, the Executive acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan.

Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for fiscal year end Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Due to the seasonality of the business of Kohl’s Corporation (the “Company,” “Kohl’s,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. We operate as a single business unit.

Contingencies	5. Contingencies Note 7, Contingencies, of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, contains a description of an ongoing legal proceeding, as to which there have been no material developments as of August 3, 2024. On May 16, 2024, David Kelley, an alleged shareholder of the Company, filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin purportedly on behalf of the Company and against current and former members of the Board of Directors of the Company as Defendants, and the Company as Nominal Defendant. Kelley v. Boneparth, No. 2:24-cv-00604-LA (E.D. Wis.). The plaintiff asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment and seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory damages, restitution, fees, and costs. The complaint makes similar allegations to the shareholder class action described in Note 7, Contingencies, of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024. In particular, the complaint alleges that the Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and were unjustly enriched by causing or allowing the Company to disseminate allegedly false or misleading statements regarding (1) the conception, execution, and outcomes of the Company’s strategic plan announced on October 20, 2020, (2) the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls, and corporate governance mechanisms, and (3) the Company’s consideration of acquisition offers. Defendants deny the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend against them. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court has stayed the case pending, among other things, the resolution of the motion to dismiss filed by the Company in the abovementioned similar shareholder class action. Due to the early stages of this matter, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. In addition to what is noted above, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	7. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is net income divided by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes incremental shares assumed for share-based awards and stock warrants. The potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period include unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock awards, and warrants, which utilize the treasury stock method, as well as unvested performance share units that utilize the contingently issuable share method. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The information required to compute basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:     Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except per Share Data) August 3, 2024 July 29, 2023 August 3, 2024 July 29, 2023 Numerator—Net income $66 $58 $39 $72 Denominator—Weighted-average shares:         Basic 111 110 111 110 Dilutive impact 1 1 1 1 Diluted 112 111 112 111 Net income per share:         Basic $0.59 $0.52 $0.35 $0.65 Diluted $0.59 $0.52 $0.35 $0.65   The following potential shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:     Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Shares in Millions) August 3, 2024 July 29, 2023 August 3, 2024 July 29, 2023 Anti-dilutive shares 4 3 4 3
