•Non-merchandise sales growth of 24.6 percent, primarily driven by growth in our Roundel digital advertising business offering.
Current report
•GAAP and Adjusted operating income 1 of $1.1 billion was 22.9 percent lower than prior year GAAP operating income, which included $593 million of pretax net gains on interchange fee settlements. Excluding the settlement gains, Adjusted operating income was 29.1 percent higher than $0.9 billion in the prior-year.
Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were not authorized by the statute. While the ruling did not establish a refund process, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) subsequently ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to implement a process to administer refunds, which CBP began executing with the April 20, 2026 deployment of the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system for certain IEEPA refund claims.
Current report
We incurred tariffs under IEEPA, and are following the established refund filing and validation process through the CAPE system, along with other importers seeking IEEPA refunds. As of May 2, 2026, no refunds had been received and no receivable was recorded. Subsequent to quarter-end, we began receiving refunds, which to date have not been material. Due to the remaining uncertainties related to the process, timing, and amount of potential refunds, as well as a potential appeal of the CIT's order to issue refunds, we are unable to estimate the ultimate financial effects of IEEPA refunds.
Current report
After the Supreme Court ruling in February, the U.S. administration instituted new tariffs against most major trading partners, and has previewed future actions that could restore or exceed the level of the IEEPA tariffs. We continue to assess and respond to the evolving consumer, legal and regulatory environment.
Current report
We did not incur any costs or charges related to these initiatives during the three months ended May 2, 2026, or the comparable prior-year period.

(a)Adjusted SG&A expenses, Adjusted SG&A expense rate, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted operating income margin rate, which are non-GAAP measures, exclude the impact of certain items. Management believes that these measures are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided onpage 20.
Current report
For the three months ended May 2, 2026, our SG&A expense rate was 21.9 percent compared with 19.3 percent for the comparable prior-year period. Our comparable prior-period rate included a 2.5 percentage point benefit from interchange fee settlements, which are further described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. Excluding this item, our Adjusted SG&A expense rate was 21.7 percent. The remaining 0.2 percentage point increase in 2026 reflected higher compensation expense, including stores payroll and incentive compensation, new store and remodel-related expenses, and the net impact of other cost increases. These cost increases more than offset the leverage benefit of higher sales.
Current report
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 2, 2026, was 24.4 percent compared with 25.0 percent in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease reflects lower discrete tax expense in the current year, primarily related to share-based compensation.
Current report
(a)The adjustment removes the favorable impact of the settlement gains from prior-year SG&A Expenses and Operating Income. Note 3 to the Financial Statements provides additional information.
Current report
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $0.7 billion and $0.3 billion for the three months ended May 2, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher accounts payable leverage and lower inventory levels. These benefits were partially offset by lower net earnings, reflecting the prior-year benefit from gains on interchange fee settlements, and higher income tax payments in the current year, reflecting timing.
Current report
Inventory was $12.3 billion as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, and $13.0 billion as of May 3, 2025. The year-over-year decrease reflects higher than expected sales in the current year and the timing of inventory receipts.

We monitor the percentage of purchases that are paid for using Target Circle™ Cards (Target Circle Card Penetration) because our internal analysis has indicated that a meaningful portion of the incremental purchases on our Target Circle Cards are also incremental sales for Target. Guests receive a 5 percent discount on virtually all purchases when they use a Target Circle Card at Target. For the three months ended November 1, 2025, and November 2, 2024, total Target Circle Card Penetration was 16.9 percent and 17.7 percent, respectively. For the nine months ended November 1, 2025, and November 2, 2024, total Target Circle Card Penetration was 17.0 percent and 17.8 percent, respectively.

The deleveraging impact of lower Net Sales was offset by a reduction in other costs, including lower incentive compensation expense.
Previous report
For the nine months ended November 1, 2025, our SG&A expense rate was 20.8 percent compared with 21.1 percent for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease reflected a favorable impact of interchange fee settlements during the first quarter of 2025 of approximately 0.8 percentage points. This rate benefit was partially offset by the deleveraging impact of lower Net Sales, and the net impact of other costs, including 0.2 percentage points related to business transformation costs.

Previous report
Earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels, and, for EBITDA, capital investment. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The most comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBIT and EBITDA differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparisons with other companies.

Inventory was $14.9 billion as of November 1, 2025, compared with $12.7 billion and $15.2 billion as of February 1, 2025, and November 2, 2024, respectively. The increase from February 1, 2025, primarily reflects the seasonal inventory build ahead of the November and December holiday sales period. The decrease compared to November 2, 2024, reflects alignment of inventory with sales trends, partially offset by higher merchandise costs.

In April 2025, the U.S. imposed a range of tariffs on the vast majority of products manufactured in foreign countries and jurisdictions, and subsequently imposed incremental tariffs, paused, modified, or issued specific exceptions to recently imposed tariffs. The U.S. has indicated that it is actively negotiating or expects to negotiate country-specific agreements that it expects will result in changes to imposed tariff rates. Approximately one-half of the merchandise we offer is sourced from outside the U.S., either directly or through our vendors, with China as the single largest source of merchandise we import.
Current wording
Beginning in 2025, the U.S. imposed additional tariffs on a wide range of imported products using various legal authorities, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

Merchandise Sales are net of expected returns, and our estimate of gift card breakage. Comparable sales include all Merchandise Sales, except sales from stores open less than 13 months or that have been closed. We use comparable sales to evaluate the performance of our stores and digital channels by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. Comparable sales measures vary across the retail industry. As a result, our comparable sales calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Digitally originated sales include all Merchandise Sales initiated through mobile applications and our websites. Our stores fulfill the majority of digitally originated sales, including shipment from stores to guests, store Order Pickup or Drive Up, and Same Day Delivery. Digitally originated sales may also be fulfilled through our distribution centers, our vendors, or other third parties.
