NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for fiscal
year end 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 financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K (Commission
File No. 1-11084) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods financial
statements to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized. Full year amortization expense of
goodwill for fiscal year 2001 is projected to be $5.2 million. The remaining
balance of goodwill at the end of fiscal year 2001 is projected to be $9.3
million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company will cease amortization of
its remaining goodwill balance beginning in fiscal year 2002. The Company will
perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and has not yet determined the
extent of any impairment losses on its existing goodwill. However, such losses,
if any, are not expected to be material to the consolidated financial
statements.
4. Merchandise Inventories

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
----------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 3, 2001
---------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
At November 3, 2001, the Company operated 382 stores compared with 320
stores at the same time last year. During the quarter, the Company continued to
execute its growth strategy by opening 28 new stores. In August, the Company
opened two stores in El Paso, TX and two additional stores in the Chicago, IL
market. In October, the Company opened 24 stores including entering the Oklahoma
City, OK market with four stores and the Austin, TX market with three stores. At
the same time, the Company opened additional stores in the following markets:
three stores in Atlanta, GA; two stores in Louisville, KY; two stores in
Baltimore, MD and one store each in the Dallas, TX; Kansas City, MO;
Philadelphia, PA; Minneapolis, MN markets. The remaining stores opened in
October were in the following cities: Howell, NJ; Midland, MI; Greenville, SC;
Coralville, IA; Cedar Falls, IA and Bloomington, IN. The 28 store openings
during the quarter brings the total new stores opened during fiscal 2001 to 62.
In fiscal 2002, the Company plans to open approximately 70 new stores,
including 37 in the first quarter. Key plans for the first quarter of fiscal
2002 include entering the Houston market with 12 stores, the Boston market with
13 stores and the Nashville market with four stores. In addition, the Company
will open two additional stores in Dallas, TX; and stores in Rocky Point, NY;
Walkill, NY; Clifton, NJ; Ramsey, NJ; Huntsville, AL and Indianapolis, IN.
Net sales increased $315.4 million or 21.8% to $1,760.3 million for the
three months ended November 3, 2001 from $1,444.9 million for the three months
ended October 28, 2000. Of the increase, $217.3 million is attributable to the
inclusion of 22 new stores opened in 2000, 62 new stores opened in 2001. The
remaining $98.1 million is attributable to comparable store sales growth of
7.1%.
Net sales increased $835.4 million or 21.3% to $4,764.4 million for the
nine months ended November 3, 2001 from $3,929.0 million for the nine months
ended October 28, 2000. Of the increase, $632.9 million is attributable to the
inclusion of 61 new stores opened in 2000, 62 new stores opened in 2001. The
remaining $202.5 million is attributable to comparable stores sales growth of
5.9%.
-10-
Gross margin for the three months ended November 3, 2001 was $608.3 or
34.6% compared to $495.3 or 34.3% for the three months ended October 28, 2000.
Gross margin for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 was $1,665.9 or 35.0%
compared to $1,359.2 or 34.6% for the nine months ended October 28, 2000. These
increases are primarily attributable to the mix of merchandise sold and
continued improvements related to inventory management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 21.6% of net sales
for the three months ended November 3, 2001 from 21.9% of net sales for the
three months ended October 28, 2000. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 declined to 22.3% of net
sales from 22.5% for the nine months ended October 28, 2000. These decreases are
a result of leverage achieved on the increase in net sales.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended November 3, 2001
was $40.3 million compared to $33.2 million for the three months ended October
28, 2000. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended November 3,
2001 was $115.5 million compared to $92.9 million for the nine months ended
October 28, 2000. These increases are primarily attributable to capital spending
related to new store openings.
Preopening expense for the three months ended November 3, 2001 was $11.2
million compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended October 28, 2000.
Preopening expense for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 was $26.7 million
compared to $30.3 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2000. The three
month increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of new stores
opened. The nine month decrease is primarily due to the mix of new market and
fill-in locations versus the prior year. Preopening expenses relate to the costs
associated with new store openings, including advertising, hiring and training
costs for new employees, and processing and transporting initial merchandise.
As a result of the above factors, operating income for the three months
ended November 3, 2001 increased $38.0 million or 27.6% over the three months
ended October 28, 2000. Operating income for the nine months ended November 3,
2001 increased $110.2 million or 31.4% over the nine months ended October 28,
2000.
Net interest expense for the three months ended November 3, 2001 was $13.7
million compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended October 28, 2000.
Net interest expense for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 was $37.0
million compared to $35.1 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2000.
These increases are a result of increased net borrowings offset by lower
interest rates.
-11-
Net income for the three months ended November 3, 2001 increased 30.6% to
$100.2 million from $76.7 million in the three months ended October 28, 2000.
Earnings were $0.29 per diluted share for the three months ended November 3,
2001 compared to $0.23 per diluted share for the three months ended October 28,
2000. Net income for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 increased 35.2% to
$261.9 million or $0.77 per diluted share from $193.7 million or $0.57 per
diluted share for the nine months ended October 28, 2000.
Seasonality & Inflation
-----------------------
The Company's business, like that of most retailers, is subject to seasonal
influences, with the major portion of sales and income typically realized during
the last half of each fiscal year, which includes the back-to-school and holiday
seasons. Approximately 16% and 30% of sales occur during the back-to-school and
holiday seasons, respectively. Because of the seasonality of the Company's
business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of
operations depend significantly upon the timing and amount of revenues and costs
associated with the opening of new stores.
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on
the results during the periods presented. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company's business will not be affected in the future.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
---------------------------------
The Company's primary ongoing cash requirements are for seasonal and new
store inventory purchases, growth in credit card accounts receivable and capital
expenditures in connection with the expansion and remodeling programs. The
Company's primary sources of funds for its business activities are cash flow
from operations, financing secured by its proprietary accounts receivable,
borrowings under its revolving credit facility and short-term trade credit.
Short-term trade credit, in the form of extended payment terms for inventory
purchases or third party factor financing, represents a significant source of
financing for merchandise inventories. The Company's working capital and
inventory levels typically build throughout the fall, peaking during the holiday
selling season. In addition, the Company periodically accesses the capital
markets, as needed, to finance its growth.
-12-
The Company's working capital increased to $1,495.1 million at November 3,
2001 from $1,198.6 million at February 3, 2001 and from $1,120.9 million at
October 28, 2000. Of the $374.2 million increase from October 28, 2000, $175.0
million is attributable to higher credit card receivables and $184.0 million is
related to an increase in merchandise inventories required to support existing
stores and new store locations offset in part by an increase in accounts
payable. These increases are reflective of the Company's store growth and
increase in net sales. The remaining increase is primarily related to reduced
short-term debt secured by the Company's propriety credit card receivables due
primarily to the issuance of $300 million unsecured senior notes.
Cash used in operating activities was $163.9 million for the nine months
ended November 3, 2001 compared to $170.6 million for the nine months ended
October 28, 2000. Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, cash
provided by operating activities was $452.8 million for the nine months ended
November 3, 2001 compared to $395.6 million for the nine months ended October
28, 2000.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended November 3, 2001 were $451.1
million compared to $353.9 million for the same period a year ago. The increase
in expenditures is primarily attributable to the timing of spending related to
new stores and the mix of leased versus owned locations.
Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 are expected to be approximately
$700 million. This estimate includes the purchase of favorable lease rights for
15 stores from Bradlees Inc., the renovation and refixturing of the properties,
the capital required to open distribution facilities, new store spending as well
as base capital needs. The actual amount of the Company's future annual capital
expenditures will depend primarily on the number of new stores opened, whether
such stores are owned or leased by the Company and the number of existing stores
remodeled or refurbished.
The Company opened 34 new stores during the first half of the year, four
stores in August and 24 additional stores in October. At the end of fiscal 2001,
a distribution center is scheduled to open in Mamakating, New York to support
the northeast expansion, including the entry into the greater Boston market. In
addition, Kohl's has acquired the lease rights to a distribution facility in
Corsicana, Texas. This facility is expected to open by the end of the year and
will serve existing Texas locations and support further expansion in the region,
including the entry into Houston in spring 2002.
-13-
Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 are expected to be approximately
$700 million.
In March 2001, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principle amount
of non-callable 6.3% unsecured senior notes due March 2011. The proceeds have
been used for general corporate purposes, including continued store growth.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to satisfy its working capital
requirements, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements with
short term trade credit, $225 million of available financing secured by its
proprietary credit card accounts receivable, seasonal borrowings under its $300
million revolving credit facility and other sources of financing. The Company
expects to generate adequate cash flows from operating activities to sustain
current levels of operations. The Company maintains favorable banking relations
and anticipates that the necessary credit agreements will be extended or new
agreements will be entered into in order to provide future borrowing
requirements as needed.
Forward Looking Statements
