Current report

We achieved a respectable performance for fiscal year 2025, reporting net income of $570.2 million. In a rapidly changing merchandising environment characterized by unpredictable costs, we focused on maintaining gross margin performance. Our retail gross margin stood at 40.8% while sales remained unchanged (as a percentage) compared to fiscal 2024. We kept shareholder return a priority. We paid $484.9 million in dividends, highlighted by the largest special dividend in our history. Additionally, we repurchased $107.8 million of stock. Following these efforts, we held approximately $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at year end and remained in a strong financial position.

Pension obligations. The discount rate that the Company utilizes for determining future pension obligations is based on the FTSE Above Median Pension yield curve on its annual measurement date as of the end of each fiscal year and is matched to the future expected cash flows of the benefit plans by semi-annual periods.

We believe that these assumptions have been appropriate and that, based on these assumptions, the pension liability of $298.9 million is appropriately stated as of February 1, 2025; however, actual results may differ materially from those estimated and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Service charges and other income is composed primarily of income from the Citibank Alliance and former Wells Fargo Alliance. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company transitioned to its new agreement with Citi to provide a credit card program for Dillard’s customers, replacing the existing Wells Fargo Alliance. While future cash flows under this new program are difficult to predict, the Company expects income from the new program to initially be less than historical earnings from the Wells Fargo Alliance. The extent to which future cash flows will vary over the term of the new program from historical cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Income from the alliances decreased $13.2 million in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023.

Service charges and other income includes the income from the Citibank Alliance and former Wells Fargo Alliance. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company transitioned to its new agreement with Citi to provide a credit card program for Dillard’s customers, replacing the existing Wells Fargo Alliance. Income from the alliances decreased $14.5 million in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, primarily from decreases in finance charges and late fees mainly resulting from lower average net receivables. While future cash flows under the Citibank Alliance are difficult to predict, the Company and Citi remain focused on collaborative strategies to enhance customer awareness and acceptance of the program’s product offerings in an effort to improve the financial performance of this alliance; however, there can be no assurance that these efforts will significantly impact the performance.
