Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our most recent Form 10-K.
We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
We operate as a single segment that includes all of our operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels. Nearly all of our revenues are generated in the U.S. The vast majority of our long-lived assets are located within the U.S.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings, and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Sales are recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns and our expectation of future returns. As of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, the accrual for estimated returns was $186 million, $172 million, and $198 million, respectively.
Revenue from Target gift card sales is recognized upon gift card redemption, which is typically within one year of issuance.

- Supplier Finance Programs
We have arrangements with several financial institutions to act as our paying agents to certain vendors. The arrangements also permit the financial institutions to provide vendors with an option, at our vendors' sole discretion, to sell their receivables from Target to the financial institutions. A vendor’s election to receive early payment at a discounted amount from the financial institutions does not change the amount that we must remit to the financial institutions or our payment date, which is up to 120 days from the invoice date.
We do not pay any fees or pledge any security to these financial institutions under these arrangements. The arrangements can be terminated by either party with notice ranging up to 120 days.
Our outstanding vendor obligations eligible for early payment under these arrangements totaled $3.3 billion, $3.7 billion, and $3.3 billion as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively, and are included within Accounts Payable on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Our outstanding vendor obligations do not represent actual receivables sold by our vendors to the financial institutions, which have historically been lower.
- Commercial Paper and Long-Term Debt
In March 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of unsecured debt with a fixed rate of 5.0 percent that matures in April 2035.
In April 2025, we repaid at maturity $1.5 billion of unsecured debt with a fixed rate of 2.25 percent.
We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program. There wasno commercial paper outstanding at any time during the three months ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.
- Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which we monitor on an ongoing basis. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the fair value and classification of these instruments.
We were party to interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.20 billion as of May 3, 2025, and February 1, 2025, and $2.45 billion as of May 4, 2024. We pay a floating rate and receive a fixed rate under each of these agreements. All of the agreements are designated as fair value hedges, and all were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method during the three months ended May 3, 2025, and May 4, 2024.
