1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A description of the Company's significant accounting policies
is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997 (the "1996 10-K"). The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto in the 1996 10-K.
Because of the seasonal nature of the general merchandising
business, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks
ended November 1, 1997 and November 2, 1996 (which do not
include the Christmas season) are not indicative of such
results for the fiscal year.
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 and 39 weeks
ended November 1, 1997 and November 2, 1996, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of daily
average number of shares and share equivalents (shares
issuable under outstanding warrants and stock options)
outstanding during the period for the 13 and 39 weeks ended
November 1, 1997. For the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2,
1996 the potential issuance of share equivalents was
immaterial or anti-dilutive and earnings (loss) per share were
computed on the basis of daily average number of shares
outstanding. The computation of fully diluted earnings (loss)
per share takes into account, if dilutive, the above-described
share equivalents and shares issuable upon the conversion of
convertible debt. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), was
issued in February 1997. The statement establishes standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share and is
effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Adoption of this statement will not have a
material impact on the Company's earnings per share
computations.
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts for the 13
and 39 weeks ended November 1, 1996 to conform to the
classifications of such amounts for the 52 weeks ended
February 1, 1997.
2.INVENTORY VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS RELATED TO CONSOLIDATION AND
BUSINESS INTEGRATION AND CONSOLIDATION EXPENSES
In connection with the consolidation of merchandise
inventories for acquired and pre-existing businesses, the
Company recorded one-time inventory valuation adjustments
related to merchandise in lines of business that were
eliminated or replaced as a separate component of cost of
sales. For the 39 weeks ended November 2, 1996, the amount
recorded related to the consolidation of Broadway into the
Company's Macy's West division.
FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Additionally, the Company incurred certain one-time costs
related to the integration and consolidation of acquired and
pre-existing businesses and classified such costs as business
integration and consolidation expenses as a separate component
of selling, general and administrative expenses. During the
39 weeks ended November 2, 1996, the Company recorded $155.2
million of business integration and consolidation expenses
consisting of $116.9 million of costs associated with the
integration of Broadway into the Company (related primarily to
the incremental costs associated with converting the Broadway
stores to other nameplates, including advertising, credit card
issuance and promotion and other name change expenses, and the
costs of operating Broadway central office functions for a
transitional period), $21.9 million of costs related to the
consolidation of Macy's and $16.4 million of costs related to
other support operation restructurings.
3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
On July 14, 1997, the Company issued $300.0 million of 7.45%
Senior Debentures due 2017 and $250.0 million of 6.79% Senior
Debentures due 2027 and, on July 28, 1997, the Company entered
into new credit agreements which provide for unsecured
revolving credit loans of up to $2,000.0 million. Using
proceeds from these transactions and other funds, the Company
voluntarily prepaid all amounts outstanding under the
Company's mortgage loan facility, secured promissory note,
certain other mortgages and previous bank credit facility, all
of which were retired and terminated. The associated costs for
the debt prepayments were recorded as an extraordinary charge
of $38.7 million, net of an income tax benefit of $25.0
million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE 13 WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 1, 1997 AND NOVEMBER 2, 1996
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
"third quarter of 1997" and "third quarter of 1996" are to the
Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended November 1, 1997 and
November 2, 1996, respectively.
Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 totaled $3,746.3
million, compared to net sales of $3,609.1 million for the
third quarter of 1996, an increase of 3.8%. On a comparable
store basis, net sales for the third quarter of 1997 increased
3.1% over the third quarter of 1996.
Cost of sales was 61.0% as a percent of net sales for the
third quarter of 1997 compared to 60.7% for the third quarter
of 1996. Cost of sales for the third quarter of 1997
reflected higher levels of clearance markdowns than the third
quarter of 1996. Cost of sales was not impacted by the
valuation of merchandise inventory on the last-in, first-out
basis in the third quarter of 1997 or the third quarter of
1996.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
31.8% as a percent of net sales for the third quarter of 1997
compared to 34.1% for the third quarter of 1996. SG&A expenses
for the third quarter of 1996 included $44.3 million of one-
time costs related to the integration and consolidation of
acquired and pre-existing businesses as business integration
and consolidation expenses ("BICE"). Excluding BICE, SG&A
expenses would have been 32.9% of net sales for the third
quarter of 1996. The major factor contributing to the 1.1%
improvement in the SG&A expense rate (excluding BICE for the
third quarter of 1996) was lower distribution-related expenses
resulting from restructuring and technological improvements in
the merchandise distribution process.
Net interest expense was $91.9 million for the third quarter
of 1997, compared to $113.4 million for the third quarter of
1996. The lower interest expense for the third quarter of
1997 is due to lower levels of borrowings and lower interest
rates resulting from the refinancings completed in July 1997.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 40.3% for the third
quarter of 1997 differs from the federal income tax statutory
rate of 35.0% principally because of the effect of state and
local income taxes and permanent differences arising from the
amortization of intangible assets.
COMPARISON OF THE 39 WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 1, 1997 AND NOVEMBER 2, 1996
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
"1997" and "1996" are to the Company's 39 week fiscal periods
ended November 1, 1997 and November 2, 1996, respectively.
Net sales for 1997 were $10,608.2 million compared to
$10,194.0 million for 1996, an increase of 4.1%. On a
comparable store basis, net sales increased 3.4%.
FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Cost of sales was 61.0% as a percent of net sales for 1997
compared to 61.5% for 1996. Cost of sales for 1996 included
$65.7 million of one-time inventory valuation adjustments
related to merchandise in lines of business that were
eliminated or replaced in connection with the consolidation of
Broadway's merchandise inventories with the Company's
merchandise inventories. Excluding these inventory valuation
adjustment from 1996, cost of sales would have been 60.8% of
net sales, with the 0.2% increase in 1997 being due to higher
merchandise markdowns associated with the elimination of
certain consumer electronics lines of business. Cost of sales
was not impacted by the valuation of merchandise inventory on
the last-in, first-out basis in 1997 or 1996.
SG&A expenses were 33.1% as a percent of net sales for 1997
compared to 35.4% for 1996. SG&A expenses for 1996 included
$155.2 million of one-time costs related to the integration
and consolidation of acquired and pre-existing businesses
under the caption BICE. Excluding BICE, SG&A expenses would
have been 33.9% of net sales for 1996. The major factor
contributing to the 0.8% improvement in the SG&A expense rate
(excluding BICE for 1996) was lower distribution-related
expenses resulting from restructuring and technological
improvements in the merchandise distribution process.
Net interest expense was $295.5 million for 1997 compared to
$341.3 million for 1996. The lower interest expense for 1997
is principally due to lower levels of borrowings.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 41.2% for 1997
differs from the federal income tax statutory rate of 35.0%
principally because of the effect of state and local income
taxes and permanent differences arising from the amortization
of intangible assets.
The extraordinary item of $38.7 million for 1997 represents
the after-tax expenses associated with debt prepayments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
"1997" and "1996" are to the Company's 39 week fiscal periods
ended November 1, 1997 and November 2, 1996, respectively.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from
operations, cash on hand and certain available credit
facilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 1997 was $408.1
million compared to the $205.3 million provided in 1996. The
major factors contributing to this improvement were improved
operating results and greater reductions in accounts
receivable.
FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net cash used by investing activities was $90.4 million in
1997, with purchases of property and equipment totaling $410.5
million and dispositions of property and equipment totaling
$120.1 million. During 1997, the Company opened five new
stores, including a furniture gallery, and closed ten stores.
On May 5, 1997, a $200.0 million installment of a note
receivable held by the Company was received.
Net cash used by the Company for all financing activities was
$35.3 million in 1997. During 1997, the Company incurred debt
totaling $1,284.0 million and repaid debt in the amount of
$1,445.1 million. On July 14, 1997, the Company issued $300.0
million of 7.45% Senior Debentures due 2017 and $250.0 million
of 6.79% Senior Debentures due 2027 and, on July 28, 1997, the
Company entered into new bank credit agreements which replaced
its existing bank credit agreement. The new credit agreements
provide for a $1,500.0 million unsecured revolving credit
facility with a termination date of July 28, 2002 and a $500.0
million unsecured revolving credit facility with a termination
date of July 27, 1998. The net incremental borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit and commercial paper facilities
were $734.0 million in 1997.
The major components of debt repaid, with proceeds of the
financings described above, proceeds of the $200.0 million
note receivable and other funds, included the entire $345.1
million of outstanding borrowings under the Company's mortgage
loan facility, the entire $220.8 million of borrowings
outstanding under its secured promissory note, $176.0 million
of borrowings outstanding under its note monetization
facility, and all $515.7 million of outstanding term
borrowings under its bank credit facility. In addition to
extending the maturities of its debt, the Company expects to
save $15.0-$20.0 million in annual interest expense from the
refinancing transactions.
On May 3, 1998, the final $200.0 million installment of a note
receivable held by the Company matures and the remaining
$176.0 million of borrowings under the related note
monetization facility become due and payable. Accordingly, as
of November 1, 1997, such amounts have been included in
accounts receivable and short-term debt, respectively.
Management believes the department store industry will
continue to consolidate. Accordingly, the Company intends
from time to time to consider additional acquisitions of
department store assets and companies.
Management of the Company believes that, with respect to its
current operations, cash on hand and funds from operations,
together with its credit facilities, will be sufficient to
cover its reasonably foreseeable working capital, capital
expenditure and debt service requirements. Acquisition
transactions, if any, are expected to be financed through a
combination of cash on hand and from operations and the
possible issuance from time to time of long-term debt or other
securities. Depending upon conditions in the capital markets
and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider
other possible capital markets transactions, including the
refinancing of indebtedness.
