As used herein, “third quarter of 2024” and “third quarter of 2023” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively. “Year-to-date 2024” and “year-to-date 2023” refer to the thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively, and “fiscal year 2024” and “fiscal year 2023” refer to the fifty-two-week period ending February 1, 2025 and the fifty-three-week period ended February 3, 2024, respectively.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Interim Financial Statements

The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2024.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

Seasonality of Business

Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the thirteen-week and thirty-nine-week periods ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending February 1, 2025.

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.

The carrying values of equity method investments were $61 million as of November 2, 2024, $60 million as of February 3, 2024 and $56 million as of October 28, 2023. These investments are recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's investment portfolio was primarily comprised of money market funds and bank deposits.

The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.

Supplier Finance Programs

The Company has agreements with designated third-party financial institutions to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates and receive a discounted payment from participating financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. All amounts payable to financial institutions relating to suppliers participating in these programs are recorded in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $176 million as of November 2, 2024, $183 million as of February 3, 2024 and $154 million as of October 28, 2023.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the third quarter of 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring enhanced disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. Acquisition

On December 30, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of AdoreMe, Inc. (“Adore Me”). Under the terms of the definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the acquisition (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company made an upfront cash payment of $391 million at closing and agreed to pay further cash consideration in an aggregate amount of at least $80 million, consisting of a fixed payment to be made on or prior to January 15, 2025, and up to $300 million based on the performance of Adore Me and achievement of specified strategic objectives and certain EBITDA and net revenue goals within thetwo-year period following closing of the transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, up to $60 million of the further cash consideration is subject to the continued employment of a certain Adore Me employee (“Contingent Compensation Payments”). These Contingent Compensation Payments are not included as consideration when applying the acquisition method of accounting and are recognized as compensation expense within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Loss if and when earned in future periods.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made payments of $20 million for the achievement of a specified strategic objective under the terms of the Merger Agreement, comprised of $16 million for contingent consideration classified as financing cash outflows and $4 million of Contingent Compensation Payments classified as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of purchase accounting items, including recognition of changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, in the third quarter and year-to-date 2023, the Company recognized the financial impact of additional acquisition-related costs and recognition in gross profit of the fair value adjustment to acquired inventories that were sold in the respective period.

The following table provides a summary by line item in the Consolidated Statements of Loss of the financial impact of purchase accounting items and additional acquisition-related costs for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023:

The deferred consideration liability for the future fixed payment was $79 million and $76 million as of November 2, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively, and is included within Accrued Expenses and Other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of October 28, 2023, the deferred consideration liability for the future fixed payment was $74 million and is included within Other Long-term Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company has a Victoria's Secret and PINK multi-tender loyalty program along with a co-branded credit card and U.S. private label credit card through which customers can earn points on purchases of Victoria's Secret and PINK product and through the co-branded credit card can earn points on purchases outside of the Company. A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the credit card accounts and underwrites the credit issued under the credit card programs. Revenue earned in connection with the Company's credit card arrangements with the third-party is primarily recognized based on credit card sales and usage.

The Company recognized Net Sales of $17 million and $20 million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to revenue earned in connection with its credit card arrangements. The Company recognized Net Sales of $52 million and $66 million year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to revenue earned in connection with its credit card arrangements.

The Company’s net sales outside of the U.S. totaled $700 million and $637 million year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

4. Restructuring Activities

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company made certain executive leadership appointments and changes to streamline its executive leadership team. On August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Hillary Super as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and as a member of the Board, effective as of September 9, 2024, and terminated Martin Waters as CEO, effective as of August 13, 2024. Mr. Waters’ exit from the Company constituted a termination without cause under his employment agreement, entitling him to receive certain severance benefits provided under his employment agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement.

Effective as of September 3, 2024, the Company eliminated the executive officer roles of Brand President, which was held by Greg Unis, and Chief Customer Officer, which was held by Christine Rupp. Mr. Unis’s and Ms. Rupp’s departures from the Company both constituted a termination without cause under their respective employment agreements, entitling them to each receive the severance benefits provided under their respective severance agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements.

As a result of these executive leadership changes, pre-tax severance and related costs of $13 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2024 and are included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2024 Consolidated Statements of Loss. As of November 2, 2024, there were $13 million of liabilities related to these executive leadership changes included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Shareholders' Equity

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per diluted share include the weighted-average effect of dilutive restricted stock units, performance share units and options (collectively, “Dilutive Awards”) on the weighted-average shares outstanding.

The following table provides the weighted-average shares utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023:

(a)Shares underlying certain restricted stock units, performance share units and options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(b)For the third quarter and year-to-date 2024 and 2023, shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, performance share units and options were excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's net loss for those periods.

In February 2023, as part of the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase $125 million of the Company's common stock. In February 2023, the Company made an initial payment of $125 million to Goldman Sachs and received an initial delivery of 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the initial share delivery, there was an additional $1 million increase in Treasury Stock, which reflected the excise tax liability recorded related to the share repurchase in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

In May 2023, upon final settlement of the ASR Agreement, the Company received an additional 1.3 million shares of the Company's common stock from Goldman Sachs.

The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2023:

Shares repurchased under the January 2023 Share Repurchase Program were retired upon repurchase. As a result, the Company retired the 3.7 million shares repurchased in connection with the settlement of the ASR Agreement year-to-date 2023. The retirement resulted in a reduction of $126 million in Treasury Stock, less than $1 million in the par value of Common Stock, $9 million in Paid-in Capital and $117 million in Retained Earnings year-to-date 2023.

7. Long-Lived Assets

The following table provides details of Property and Equipment, Net as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023:

The year-to-date 2024 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due toadditional tax expense from the vesting of share-based compensation awards. The year-to-date 2023 rate differed from the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible liabilities related to contingent consideration and Contingent Compensation Payments under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The Company paid income taxes in the amount of $8 millionand $6 million for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and$45 million and $65 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash paid for interest was $49 million and $54 million for year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Credit Facilities

The Company has a senior secured term loan B credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, which will mature in August 2028. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of $400 million. The Company made principal payments for the Term Loan Facility of $1 million during both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 and $3 million during both year-to-date 2024 and 2023.

Interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is calculated by reference to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or an alternative base rate, plus an interest rate margin (i) in the case of Term SOFR loans, ranging from 3.36% to 3.68% and (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans, equal to 2.25%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the Term Loan Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the Term Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors that do not constitute priority collateral under the ABL Facility and on a second-priority lien basis by priority collateral under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions. As of November 2, 2024, the interest rate on the loans under the Term Loan Facility was 8.46%.

The Company also has a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The ABL Facility allows for borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars and has aggregate commitments of $750 million and an expiration date of August 2026. The availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property, and (ii) the maximum aggregate commitment amount of $750 million. Interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is calculated by reference to (i) Term SOFR or an alternative base rate and (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Canadian dollars, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) or a Canadian base rate, plus an interest rate margin based on average daily excess availability ranging from (x) in the case of CDOR loans,1.50% to 2.00%, (y) in the case of alternate base rate loans and Canadian base rate loans,0.50% to 1.00%, and (z) in the case of Term SOFR loans,1.60% to 2.10%. Unused commitments under the ABL Facility accrue an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.30%. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the loans under the ABL Facility is jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. The loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first-priority lien basis by the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and on a second-priority lien basis on substantially all other assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.

The Company borrowed $460 million and $405 million from the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively, and made repayments of $165 million and $145 million under the ABL Facility year-to-date 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of November 2, 2024, there were borrowings of $440 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and the interest rate on the borrowings was 6.59%. The Company had $19 million of outstanding letters of credit as of November 2, 2024 that further reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of November 2, 2024, the Company's remaining availability under the ABL Facility was $291 million.

The Company's long-term debt and borrowing facilities contain certain financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of financial ratios. The 2029 Notes and the Term Loan Facility include the maintenance of a consolidated coverage ratio and a consolidated total leverage ratio, and the ABL Facility includes the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) ratio. The financial covenants could, within specific predefined circumstances, limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares. As of November 2, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its long-term debt and borrowing facilities.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding debt as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023:

(a)The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly traded debt is based on reported transaction prices which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Management believes that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity. Management further believes the principal value of the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility approximates its fair value as of November 2, 2024 based on the terms of the borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables provide a summary of the Company's contingent consideration recognized at fair value related to the Adore Me acquisition as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024, October 28, 2023 and January 28, 2023 (in millions):

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is valued using a Scenario-Based method and a Monte Carlo simulation which utilize inputs including discount rates, estimated probability of achievement of certain milestones, forecasted revenues, forecasted EBITDA and volatility rates. These are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Loss. For additional information regarding the contingent consideration, see Note 2, “Acquisition.”

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
