Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) today provided preliminary sales and earnings results for the first quarter of 2020. Macy’s, Inc.’s financial statements for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 are not yet complete; however, certain preliminary estimated financial information is available and is shown in the below financial highlights. These results do not include the non-cash impact of goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, which are expected to have a material impact on the company’s reported results. The company will release its first quarter earnings results and hold a related call on July 1, 2020.

“The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our first quarter sales and earnings results, but I am proud of the way our team navigated this difficult period and maintained the business while our stores were closed,” said Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our strong digital business sales trend continued throughout May, and it is encouraging to see that as we reopen a store, the digital business in that geography continues to be strong. By June 1, we had approximately 450 stores reopened, with the majority opened in their full format. Our reopened stores are performing better than anticipated. Importantly, we are receiving positive feedback on the curbside pickup experience and our efforts to create a safe and welcoming shopping environment.”

“We are seeing strong sell-through of seasonal merchandise, and anticipate that we will exit the second quarter in a clean inventory position. The holiday season will be crucial, and the team is working now to get the right merchandise and assortment in place,” continued Gennette.
