CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 ​

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “continues,” “feels,” “forecasts,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “aims,” “intends,” or “projects.” Statements may be forward looking even in the absence of these particular words.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial position, business strategy, and other plans and objectives for our future operations, and generation of free cash flow. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. The forward-looking statements contained herein are largely based on our expectations for the future, which reflect certain estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions, operating trends, and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. As such, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate.

 

We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, changes in circumstances, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf. Management cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure you that such statements will be realized or that the events and circumstances they describe will occur. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to, a change in the relationship with any of our key suppliers, including access to premium products, volume discounts, cooperative advertising, markdown allowances, or the ability to cancel orders or return merchandise; inventory management; our ability to fund our planned capital investments; execution of the Company's long-term strategic plan; a recession, volatility in the financial markets, and other global economic factors, including inflation; capital and resource allocation among our strategic opportunities; our ability to realize the expected benefits from acquisitions; business opportunities and expansion; investments; expenses; dividends; share repurchases; cash management; liquidity; cash flow from operations; access to credit markets at competitive terms; borrowing capacity under our credit facility; cash repatriation; supply chain issues; labor shortages and wage pressures; consumer spending levels; licensed store arrangements; the effect of certain governmental assistance programs; the success of our marketing and sponsorship arrangements; expectations regarding increasing global taxes; the effect of increased government regulation, compliance, and changes in law; the effect of the adverse outcome of any material litigation or government investigation that affects us or our industry generally; the effects of weather; ESG risks; increased competition; geopolitical events; the financial effects of accounting regulations and critical accounting policies; counterparty risks; and any other factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak to our views only as of the date of this filing. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be insignificant may also affect our business operations and financial performance.

 

Please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of certain risks relating to our business and any investment in our securities. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this report, or any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business

 

Foot Locker, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Foot Locker,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), is a leading footwear and apparel retailer. We have integrated all available shopping channels, including stores, websites, apps, and social channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from the store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our distribution centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-customer orders are generally shipped to our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and stores depending on availability of particular items. We operate in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, representing our operating segments. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Other than the pronouncements disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

6. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

 

The table below provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

​		August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023
Cash and cash equivalents		$	291			$	180
Restricted cash included in other current assets			3				13
Restricted cash included in other non-current assets			28				32
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash		$	322			$	225

 

Amounts included in restricted cash primarily relate to amounts held in escrow in connection with various leasing arrangements in Europe. The deposits held in insurance trusts to satisfy the requirement to collateralize part of the self-insured workers’ compensation and liability claims have been replaced by standby letters of credit during the second quarter of 2024.

7. Revolving Credit Facility

 

In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which governs our $600 million secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The amendment provides for, among other things, (i) an uncommitted “accordion” feature that allows us, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the size of the revolving credit facility to up to $750 million in the aggregate, (ii) an extension of the maturity date from July 14, 2025 to June 20, 2029, and (iii) a change to the interest rates and commitment fees applicable to the loans and commitments, respectively, as described below. The amendment provides that the interest rate applicable to loans drawn under the credit facility will be equal to, at our option, either a base rate, determined by reference to the federal funds rate, plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or a forward-looking term rate, determined by reference to Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in each case, depending on availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, we will pay a commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. No events of default occurred during 2024.

 

Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on certain assets, including inventory and accounts receivable, cash deposits, and certain insurance proceeds. We may use the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, support standby letters of credit in connection with insurance programs. We did not have any borrowings outstanding as of August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, and the letters of credit outstanding as of  August 3, 2024 were not significant.

 

We paid fees of $4 million in connection with the amendment of our credit facility and such costs are amortized over the life of the extended facility. The unamortized balance at August 3, 2024 was $5 million, which included the unamortized costs of the prior agreement. 

8. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), net of tax, is comprised of the following:

9. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Long-Term Debt

 

The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets and, therefore, are classified as Level 2. The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt were as follows:

 

		August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023
Carrying value (1)		$	395			$	395
Fair value		$	343			$	312

 

(1)	The carrying value of debt as of both  August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, included $5 million of issuer’s discount and costs.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

10. Earnings Per Share

 

We account for earnings per share (“EPS”) using the treasury stock method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic EPS computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,
(in millions, except per share data)		2024				2023				2024				2023
Net (loss) income		$	(12	)		$	(5	)		$	(4	)		$	31

(Loss) earnings per share - diluted		$	(0.13	)		$	(0.05	)		$	(0.04	)		$	0.33
​		​				​				​				​
Anti-dilutive share-based awards excluded from diluted calculation			4.0				2.7				4.0				2.4

 

Performance stock units related to our long-term incentive programs of 1.8 million and 0.8 million have been excluded from diluted weighted-average shares for the periods ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. The issuance of these shares is contingent on our performance metrics as compared to the pre-established performance goals, which have not been achieved.

11. Pension

 

The components of net periodic pension benefit expense are presented in the table below. Service cost is recognized as part of SG&A expense, while the other components are recognized as part of Other (expense) income, net.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

 

Restricted stock units (“RSU”) are awarded to certain officers, key employees of the Company, and nonemployee directors. Additionally, performance stock units (“PSU”) are awarded to certain officers and key employees in connection with our long-term incentive program. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock, provided that the applicable performance and vesting conditions are satisfied. PSU awards also include a performance objective based on our relative total shareholder return over the performance period to a pre-determined peer group, assuming the reinvestment of dividends. The fair value of the market condition of our PSU awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of the grant.

 

Generally, RSU awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically over three years for employees and one year for nonemployee directors, provided there is continued service with the Company until the vesting date, subject to the terms of the award. PSU awards are earned only after the attainment of performance goals in connection with the relevant performance period. PSUs granted in 2024 vest after the attainment of the performance period, which is three years. Prior PSU grants vested after the attainment of the performance period of two years and an additional one-year period. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or PSU awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.

 

RSU and PSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 is summarized as follows:

13. Legal Proceedings

 

Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, or pre-litigation demands, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or discontinued by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims.

 

We do not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole, based upon current knowledge and taking into consideration current accruals. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Judgments could be rendered or settlements made that could adversely affect the Company's operating results or cash flows in a particular period.

14. Subsequent Events

 

In August 2024, we entered into agreements to sell our Greece and Romania businesses and entered into license arrangements with the purchaser for the rights to operate Foot Locker stores in Greece and Romania and six other countries in South East Europe. The sale transactions are expected to close in the first half of 2025. We do not believe the sale will be significant to our financial results. 

 

In addition, in August 2024, we announced that we will move our global headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida in late 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Business Overview

 

Foot Locker, Inc. is a leading footwear and apparel retailer that unlocks the "inner sneakerhead" in all of us. We have a strong history of sneaker authority that sparks discovery and ignites the power of sneaker culture through our portfolio of brands, including Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS, and atmos.

 

Ensuring that our customers can engage with us in the most convenient manner for them whether in our stores, on our websites, or on our mobile applications, is a high priority for us. We use our omni-channel capabilities to bridge the digital world and physical stores, including order-in-store, buy online and pickup-in-store, and buy online and ship-from-store, as well as e-commerce. We operate websites and mobile apps aligned with the brand names of our store banners. These sites offer our largest product selections and provide a seamless link between our e-commerce experience and physical stores. In the second quarter, we enhanced our loyalty FLX Rewards program across North America, with plans to expand to other geographies. The FLX Rewards program introduced FLX Cash, enabling customers to use points towards a discount on purchases, and other member-exclusive benefits, including priority access to highly anticipated sneaker launches, exclusive sales, member-only events, free returns, upgraded birthday gifts, and continued complimentary shipping for members. We believe that our FLX Rewards program is key to driving customer retention and engagement.

 

As part of our annual strategic review of operations, management initiated various actions to improve profitability in targeted areas of the business. We recently announced our decision to exit underperforming operations in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. We plan to close all stores operating in those regions by mid-2025. During the second quarter of 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $9 million in connection with these decisions. In addition, we entered into agreements to sell our Greece and Romania businesses, and entered into license arrangements with the purchaser for the rights to operate Foot Locker stores in Greece and Romania as well as six other countries in South East Europe. The sale transactions are expected to close in the first half of 2025. We do not believe the sale will be significant to our financial results. Depending on the outcome of the finalization of our long-range plans, there may be triggering events that require impairment reviews during third quarter of 2024.

 

To further support strategic progress against the Lace Up Plan, we have also announced that we will move our global headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida in late 2025. The intent of the relocation is to further build on our meaningful presence in St. Petersburg and to enable increased collaboration among teams across banners and functions, while also reducing costs.

Store Count

 

At August 3, 2024, we operated 2,464 stores as compared with 2,523 and 2,599 stores at February 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively.

 

Licensed Operations

 

A total of 213 licensed stores were operating at August 3, 2024, as compared with 202 and 184 stores at February 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively, operating in the Middle East and Asia. These stores are not included in the operating store count above.

 

Results of Operations

 

We evaluate performance based on several factors, primarily the banner’s financial results, referred to as division profit. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, impairment and other charges, corporate expenses, non-operating income, and net interest expense.

 

 

The table below summarizes our results for the period.

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended

(1)	See the Impairment and Other section for further information.
(2)	Corporate expense consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization related to the Company’s corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, and other items.
(3)	Other (expense) income, net includes non-operating items, changes in fair value of minority interests measured at fair value or using the fair value measurement alternative, changes in the market value of our available-for-sale security, our share of earnings or losses related to our equity method investments, and net benefit expense related to our pension and postretirement programs excluding the service cost component. See the Other (expense) income, net section for further information.

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

In addition to reporting our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we report certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. We have presented certain financial measures identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

 

We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.

 

These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in allowing a more direct comparison of our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives. We estimate the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a marginal tax rate to each item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the period.

 

The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition, and not as an alternative, to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Presented below is a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP pre-tax (loss) income.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, we recorded pre-tax charges of $9 million and $23 million, respectively, classified as impairment and other. See the Impairment and Other section for further information.

 

The adjustments made to other income / expense, net reflected losses associated with our minority investments. See the Other (Expense) Income, net section for further information.

Segment Reporting and Results of Operations

 

We have determined that we have three operating segments, North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Our North America operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in the U.S. and Canada: Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Kids Foot Locker, and WSS, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our EMEA operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in Europe: Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our Asia Pacific operating segment includes the results of the Foot Locker banner and its related e-commerce business operating in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, as well as atmos, which operates in Japan. We have further aggregated these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics. 

 

Sales

 

All references to comparable-store sales for a given period relate to sales of stores that were open at the period-end and had been open for more than one year. The computation of consolidated comparable sales also includes our direct-to-customers channel. Stores opened or closed during the period are not included in the comparable-store base; however, stores closed temporarily for relocation or remodeling are included. Computations exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. In fiscal years following those with 53 weeks, including 2024, we calculate comparable sales on a 52-week basis by comparing the current and prior-year weekly periods that are most closely aligned. There may be variations in the way in which some of our competitors and other retailers calculate comparable or same store sales.

 

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, total sales increased by $35 million, or 1.9%, to $1,896 million, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, total sales decreased by $18 million, or 0.5%, to $3,770 million, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, total sales increased by 2.5%, for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, and were essentially unchanged for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024. Sales decreased $12 million and $19 million for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six ended August 3, 2024, respectively, from foreign currency fluctuations related primarily to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, and Japanese Yen weakening against the U.S. Dollar. The launch of the FLX Reward program resulted in a reduction in sales of $11 million recorded during the second quarter of 2024, based on the change in estimated value of the loyalty program liability. Comparable sales for the combined channels increased by 2.6% and 0.3% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with the corresponding prior-year periods.

(1)	Includes sales from 8 and 14 Kids Foot Locker stores operating in Europe for August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively.

 

For the quarter, comparable sales increased in both channels due to improved conversion rates resulting from a positive customer response to product offerings, enhancements in-stores and online, marketing activities, and strategic promotions. While we were pleased with the positive results in the second quarter, the acceleration did not offset the pressure from the first quarter resulting in the stores channel reporting a comparable sales decline of 0.3% for the year-to-date period.

 

As previously announced, we are repositioning the Champs Sports banner, which resulted in expected comparable sales declines due to the transition. During the second quarter, we launched our new Champs Sports brand campaign, garnering positive results and improved comparable sales trends. This new brand platform, “Sport For Life” is a celebration of the powerful connection between sports and everyday life serving the sports-style enthusiast.

 

 

For both the quarter and year-to-date periods, sales excluding foreign currency fluctuations for the combined channels increased in North America and EMEA and were partially offset by a decrease in Asia Pacific. North America sales were positively affected by exciting product offerings and an increase in WSS sales. WSS sales benefited from new store growth, as they operated 17 additional stores period-over-period. Constant currency sales for EMEA increased, reflecting improved product assortments coupled with a positive response to our summer sale period in a continued highly promotional marketplace, partially offset by the loss of sales from the Sidestep banner, which closed in the second quarter of 2023 resulting in a decrease of $12 million and $26 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. Asia Pacific's sales, excluding foreign currency fluctuations, decreased primarily as a result of the prior year closure of our operations in Hong Kong and Macau and the sale of our Singapore and Malaysia operations to our licensing partner in the second quarter of 2023. These businesses represented a decline in sales of $14 million and $31 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. Our sales decreased from our operations in Australia and New Zealand due to a highly competitive marketplace and lack of product newness. The decline in sales from our atmos banner was predominantly due to macroeconomic headwinds facing the Japanese consumer and the closing of our U.S. atmos operations at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, which represented a decline in sales of $3 million and $5 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. 

 

From a product perspective for the combined channels, comparable sales increased in the footwear and accessories categories, partially offset by a decline in the apparel category in the quarter-to-date period. The overall increase was driven by exciting products from our array of strategic and emerging brand partners. For the year-to-date period, comparable sales increased in the footwear category, partially offset by declines in sales from our apparel and accessories categories.

 

Gross Margin

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,
​		2024				2023				2024				2023
Gross margin rate			27.6	%			27.1	%			28.2	%			28.6	%
Basis point increase (decrease) in the gross margin rate			50			​					(40	)		​
Components of the change:						​				​				​
Merchandise margin rate decline			(20	)		​					(90	)		​
Lower occupancy and buyers’ compensation expense rate			70			​					50			​

 

Gross margin is calculated as sales minus cost of sales. Cost of sales includes: the cost of merchandise, freight, distribution costs including related depreciation expense, shipping and handling, occupancy and buyers’ compensation. Occupancy costs include rent (including fixed common area maintenance charges and other fixed non-lease components), real estate taxes, general maintenance, and utilities.

 

The gross margin rate increased to 27.6% for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, reflecting a 70 basis point leverage in the occupancy and buyers' compensation rate and a 20 basis point decrease in the merchandise margin rate. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, gross margin rate decreased to 28.2% as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, reflecting a 90 basis point decrease in the merchandise margin rate, and a 50 basis point leverage in the occupancy and buyers' compensation rate. The gross margin rate was pressured by 40 basis points and 20 basis points in the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, from the loyalty program reduction in sales, reflecting the redesign that was launched in the quarter. Excluding the effect of the reduction in sales related to loyalty program redesign, merchandise margin rate improved in the second quarter as we were less promotional this year as compared with last year. The decline in merchandise margin rate for the year-to-date period reflected higher first quarter promotional activity in marketplace. The leverage in the occupancy and buyers' compensation rate was primarily related to rent renegotiations and our ongoing optimization of our store portfolio.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,

SG&A as a percentage of sales			25.1	%			23.8	%			24.9	%			23.0	%

 

 

Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, SG&A increased by $37 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. For the year-to-date period, SG&A increased by $69 million, excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased by 130 basis points and 190 basis points for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively, primarily due to investments in technology and brand-building as well as higher inflation, partially offset by savings from the cost optimization program, store closures, and ongoing expense discipline.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023				2024				2023
Depreciation and amortization		$	51			$	50			$	102			$	101
$ Change		$	1							$	1
% Change			2.0	%							1.0	%

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, reflecting higher capital expenditures partially offset by operating fewer stores and lower depreciation and amortization associated with prior impairment charges.

 

Impairment and Other

 

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024, we recorded $9 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets primarily related to our decision to exit underperforming operations in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, we recorded an additional $7 million of impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets related to our decision to no longer operate, and to sublease, an unprofitable store in Europe during the first quarter, and a $7 million loss accrual for legal claims.

 

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023, we incurred $7 million and $26 million of transformation consulting expense, respectively. We recorded impairment charges of $3 million and $21 million, respectively, of primarily accelerated tenancy charges on right-of-use assets for the closures of the Sidestep banner and certain Foot Locker Asia stores. Additionally, we recorded reorganization costs of $3 million and $5 million, respectively, related to the announced closure of the Sidestep banner, certain Foot Locker Asia stores, and a North American distribution center.

 

Corporate Expense

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,

Corporate expense		$	17			$	6			$	28			$	10
$ Change		$	11							$	18

 

Corporate expense consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization related to our corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, and other items.

 

Corporate expense increased by $11 million and $18 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively, as compared with the corresponding prior-year periods. Depreciation and amortization included in corporate expense was $9 million for each of the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 and $18 million for each of the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. Corporate expense increased primarily due to higher incentive compensation tied to performance and our ongoing investments in information technology.

Division profit margin, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 0.9% and 1.6% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively, primarily due to lower gross margins in certain banners and deleveraging expenses as a percentage of sales.

This caption includes non-operating items, including changes in fair value of minority investments measured at fair value or using the fair value measurement alternative, changes in the market value of our available-for-sale security, our share of earnings or losses related to our equity method investments, and net benefit / (expense) related to our pension and postretirement programs excluding the service cost component.

 

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, other (expense) income, net reflected expense of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, related to our pension and postretirement programs. In addition, we recorded a $2 million loss on our equity method investments for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024. We will continue to evaluate the results of certain minority investments, which may result in a triggering event that may necessitate an impairment review during the third quarter of 2024 as we evaluate their long-term financial projections.

 

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023, other (expense) income, net reflected expense of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, related to our pension and postretirement programs, offset by a $2 million gain on the second quarter 2023 sale of our Foot Locker Singapore and Malaysia businesses to our license partner.

 

Income Taxes

 

​		Thirteen weeks ended								Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,				August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023				2024				2023
Provision for income taxes		$	(2	)		$	2			$	3			$	23
Effective tax rate			14.9	%			(98.5	)%			n.m. (1)				42.7	%

 

(1)	The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 is not meaningful due to the low level of loss before income taxes in the period.

 

Our current year interim provision for income taxes was measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which represented a blend of federal, state, and foreign taxes and included the effect of certain nondeductible items as well as changes in our mix of domestic and foreign earnings or losses, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented.

 

We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits considering new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, we recognized tax benefits of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, from reserve releases due to various statute of limitations expirations on our foreign income taxes.

 

 

 

 

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024 and our structure, the effect of these rules was not significant to our overall effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, and we do not currently expect a significant effect on our overall effective tax rate for 2024. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the effects that these new rules will have on our future effective income tax rate, tax payments, financial condition, and results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations, while the principal uses of cash have been to fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, internet and mobile sites, information systems, including the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. We generally finance real estate with operating leases. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, future cash flow from operations, and amounts available under our credit agreement will be adequate to fund these requirements. 

 

The Company may also repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Share repurchases and retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, strategic considerations, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of August 3, 2024, approximately $1.1 billion remained available under our current $1.2 billion share repurchase program.

 

Our expected full-year capital spending is $275 million and an additional $55 million is expected related to software-as-a-service implementation costs, totaling spend of $330 million. The forecast includes $195 million related to the updating ("refresh"), remodeling or relocation of stores, as well as new stores. Updating our stores or "refreshes" represent spending directed towards elevating our brand experience, with modest capital expenditures per store. Additionally, we expect to spend $80 million primarily for our technology and supply chain initiatives, including capital expenditures related to two new distribution centers. We also expect to spend an additional $55 million in software-as-a-service implementation costs, related to our technology initiatives as we modernize our enterprise resource planning tools including e-commerce, supply chain, and finance. We have the ability to revise and reschedule some of the anticipated spending program should our financial position require it.

 

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of our merchandise mix, retail locations and websites, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, our reliance on a few key suppliers for a significant portion of our merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, as well as other factors listed under the headings “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Risk Factors” could affect our ability to continue to fund our needs from business operations.

 

Operating Activities

 

​		Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$	126			$	(184	)
$ Change		$	310			​

 

 

Operating activities reflects net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items and working capital changes. Adjustments to net (loss) income for non-cash items include impairment charges, other charges, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, and share-based compensation expense.

 

The increase in cash from operating activities primarily reflected working capital improvements. The change in merchandise inventories contributed $51 million to the improvement and reflected our concerted efforts to improve inventory turnover. Additionally, timing on accounts payable and other accruals contributed $228 million, including reductions in incentive compensation and income tax payments, as compared with the prior-year period. These improvements were partially offset by a loss in the current period as compared with income in the prior period.

 

Investing Activities

 

​		Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023
Net cash used in investing activities		$	(133	)		$	(96	)
$ Change		$	(37	)		​

 

 

​		Twenty-six weeks ended
​		August 3,				July 29,
($ in millions)		2024				2023
Net cash used in financing activities		$	(5	)		$	(80	)
$ Change		$	75			​

 

The change in financing activities primarily resulted from not paying dividends during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with $75 million in dividends paid in the corresponding prior-year period. Also contributing to the decline was a $5 million reduction in repurchases of common stock related to share-based payments, partially offset by $4 million in debt issuance costs in the current period, related to our amendment of our credit facility during the period. During the second quarter of 2024, we amended our $600 million revolving credit facility, which provided for (i) an uncommitted “accordion” feature that allows us, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the size of the revolving credit facility to up to $750 million in the aggregate, (ii) an extension of the maturity date from July 14, 2025 to June 20, 2029, and (iii) a change to the interest rates and commitment fees applicable to the loans and commitments, among other items. 

 

Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure)

 

In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and as an indication of our financial strength and our ability to generate cash. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). We believe the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management. Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow.

In the event of your death prior to the date on which such Severance Payment is made, such Severance Payment shall be made to your estate.

 

(c)    You acknowledge that under the provisions of Section 4 of Exhibit A to your offer letter, entitled “Exhibit A Additional Offer Letter Provisions,” executed on or about November 30, 2022 (the “Term Sheet”), you have agreed not to compete with the Company (including hiring employees of the Company) for the remainder of your employment with the Company and for two (2) years following the Separation Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), and you have agreed not to disclose confidential information about the Company at any time. You agree that you will return all confidential information concerning the Company that is in your possession, in whatever form, to the Company on the Separation Date or earlier if so requested by the Company and that, where such return is not possible, you will destroy any such information.

 

 

 

(d)    No later than the next regularly scheduled payday following your Separation Date, in accordance with the Company’s normal policies and practices, you will be paid (i) any wages due and owing to you for the period prior to the Separation Date, (ii) provided you have submitted expense reimbursement reports and receipts in accordance with the Company’s policies, reimbursement of any business expenses incurred prior to the date hereof, and (iii) an amount in lieu of any accrued but unused vacation as of the Separation Date.

2.    All unexercised stock options granted to you prior to the date hereof, and not exercised or cancelled on or before the Separation Date, as outlined in attached Benefits Transition Summary (Exhibit C) pursuant to the provisions of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) shall remain exercisable in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Incentive Plan. Your “effective date of termination” for purposes of the Incentive Plan shall be the Separation Date. A summary of stock options granted to you, and their status, is reflected Exhibit D.

 

3.    Attached as Exhibit E is an officer resignation letter which you will be required to execute and return to me by March 11, 2024. In addition, attached as Exhibit F is a memorandum outlining your continuing SEC reporting obligations and transactions restrictions.

5.           (a) This letter agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be performed therein.

 

(b)    If any provision of this letter agreement would result in unintended or adverse tax consequences to you or the Company under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “JOBS Act”) or other Department of the Treasury guidance, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, reform this letter agreement or any provision hereof to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the provision without violating the provisions of the JOBS Act.

 

 

 

Please sign and return the copy of this letter enclosed for that purpose to indicate your acceptance of, and agreement with, these arrangements. Exhibit A and Exhibit E, which form a part hereof, should also be returned to us contemporaneously.

The Employer shall pay to each Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination a lump sum payment in cash, as soon as practicable, but in any event before the earlier to occur of (y) the payment date required by applicable law and (z) thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, equal to (i) the Eligible Employee’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date, (ii) the Eligible Employee’s accrued but unused vacation time through the Termination Date, and (iii) reimbursement for any business expenses properly incurred by the Eligible Employee prior to the Termination Date in accordance with the Company’s policies.

Each Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination will remain entitled to any benefits to which he or she would otherwise be entitled under the terms and conditions of the Company’s tax-qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and nothing contained in the Policy is intended to waive or relinquish Eligible Employee’s vested rights in such benefits. In addition, the Eligible Employee’s outstanding long-term incentive awards will be treated in accordance with the applicable plan.

 

2.5 Conditions. No Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination shall be eligible to receive the payments or other benefits set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 of the Policy unless the Eligible Employee executes and does not revoke the Separation and Release Agreement containing a written general release of claims in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to cease payment, or claw back payment (as appropriate), if Eligible Employee violates any provision of this Section 2.6. However, nothing in this Section 2.6 shall preclude the Eligible Employee from making truthful and accurate statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law or legal process, including, without limitation: (i) reporting violations of law to law enforcement officials; (ii) giving truthful testimony under oath in a judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding; (iii) making truthful statements to governmental agencies such as the EEOC or SEC; or (iv) otherwise exercising any of the Eligible Employee's protected rights that cannot be waived by agreement.

Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, any cash severance benefits payable under Section 2.1 hereof or other severance benefits provided under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof will be reduced by and shall not be in addition to any severance benefits to which the Eligible Employee may otherwise be entitled under any general severance plan or severance policy of the Company, or any agreement between the Company and the Eligible Employee that provides for severance, or as required by applicable law.

 

2.8 Section 409A. The Policy is intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), and the Policy will be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Eligible Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Policy which are subject to Section 409A until the Eligible Employee has incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Policy shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid an accelerated or additional tax or penalty under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Policy during the six-month period immediately following the Eligible Employee’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Eligible Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Eligible Employee’s date of death). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax or penalty under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to the Eligible Employee shall be paid to the Eligible Employee on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Eligible Employee) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. In no event may an Eligible Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment, and in the event the period for executing the Separation and Release Agreement pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof overlaps two calendar years, severance benefits shall be paid in the second year to the extent required in order to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Policy will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment.

 

2.9 Section 280G. Anything in this Policy to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Eligible Employee (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of the Policy or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the severance benefits payable hereunder, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part), to the Excise Tax, then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the severance benefits payable hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Eligible Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). In such event, the Total Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits. To the extent any payment is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. The preceding provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not apply in the case of an Eligible Employee who is a party to an agreement with the Company that provides for a different treatment in the event that payments to the Eligible Employee are subject to the Excise Tax. The calculations contemplated by this Section 2.9 shall be done by such accounting or tax experts as may be designated by the Company prior to a Change in Control and shall be binding on the Company and the Eligible Employee.

If a court or arbitrator determines that the Employee has materially breached any of the material terms of this Agreement or post-employment obligations contained in it, the Employer may, in addition to any other available remedies, seek to reclaim any amounts paid to the Employee under the provisions of this Agreement and terminate any benefits or payments that are later due under this Agreement, without waiving the releases provided in it.

The Employee may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part. Any purported assignment by the Employee shall be null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment.

This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the Employee’s employment or separation of employment with Employer, for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. Any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought only in the state or federal courts in or for New York, New York, and Employee and the Company hereby waive any right that they might have to challenge the selection of those forums, including but not limited to challenges to personal jurisdiction, venue, or the convenience of the forum. Employee and the Company hereby irrevocably waive their respective rights to a jury trial with respect to any action or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that any action or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard only by a judge and not by a jury and that Employee is giving up Employee’s right to have any such action or claims heard by a jury .

 

 

11.    Entire Agreement. Unless specifically provided herein, this Agreement, together with the Policy, contains all of the understandings and representations between Employer and Employee relating to his/her terms of employment, employment relationship, and separation of employment, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, discussions, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement modifies, supersedes, voids, or otherwise alters Employee’s non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality obligations, or any other continuing obligations the Employee owes the Employer which survive the termination of the Employee’s employment, and the other covenants contained in this Agreement.

 

12.    Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless the amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by the General Counsel of the Employer. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other Party shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power, or privilege.

 

13.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, or enforceable only if modified, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding on the Parties.

 

14.    Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any section or paragraph.

 

15.    Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart’s signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, email in portable document format (.pdf), through DocuSign, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement.

 

16.    No Admission of Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission by the Employer or Employee of any wrongdoing, liability, or noncompliance with any federal, state, city, or local rule, ordinance, statute, common law, or other legal obligation.

For purposes of Section 409A, any installment payments provided under this Agreement shall each be treated as a separate payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall Employer be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

EXHIBIT C

ERISA CLAIMS PROCEDURES

 

1.    Claims Procedure. If an Eligible Employee (or the Eligible Employee’s beneficiary, if applicable) feel that the Eligible Employee has not been provided with all benefits to which such Eligible Employee is entitled under the Plan, the Eligible Employee (hereinafter referred to as “you” or a “participant”) may file a written claim with the Administrator with respect to the participant’s rights to receive benefits from the Plan. Participants will be informed of the Administrator’s decision with respect to a claim within ninety (90) days after it is filed. Under special circumstances, the Administrator may require an additional period of not more than ninety (90) days to review your claim. If that happens, you will receive a written notice of that fact, which will also indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to make a determination with respect to the claim. If the extension is required due to the participant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent until the date on which the participant responds to the Administrator’s request for information to the extent required by law.

 

If a claim is denied in whole or in part, or any adverse benefit determination is made with respect to the claim, you will be provided with a written notice setting forth the reason for the determination, along with specific references to Plan provisions on which the determination is based. This notice will also provide an explanation of what additional information is needed to evaluate the claim (and why such information is necessary), together with an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedure, as well as a statement of your right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

If your claim has been denied, or an adverse benefit determination has been made, you may request that the Administrator review the denial. The request must be in writing and must be made within 60 days after written notification of denial. In connection with this request, you (or your duly authorized representative) are entitled to (i) be provided, upon written request and free of charge, with reasonable access to (and copies of) all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim; and (ii) submit to the Administrator written comments, documents, records, and other information related to the claim.

 

The review by the Administrator will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information you submit relating to the claim. The Administrator will make a final written decision on a claim review, in most cases within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a review. In some cases, the claim may take more time to review, and an additional processing period of up to 60 days may be required. If that happens, you will receive a written notice of that fact, which will also indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to make a determination with respect to the claim. If the extension is required due to your failure to submit information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent to you until the date on which you respond to the Plan’s request for information to the extent required by law.

 

 

The Administrator’s decision on the claim for review will be communicated to you in writing. If an adverse benefit determination is made with respect to the claim, the notice will include: (i) the specific reason(s) for any adverse benefit determination, with references to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based; (ii) a statement that you are entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to (and copies of) all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim; and (iii) a statement of your right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. The decision of the Administrator is final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

 

The foregoing procedures must be exhausted before you bring a legal action seeking payment of benefits under the Plan. In the event of your death, the claims procedure set forth above shall be applicable to your beneficiaries.

 

2.    Plan Interpretation and Benefit Determination. The Plan is administered and operated by the Administrator which has complete authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to construe the terms of the Plan (and any related or underlying documents or policies), and to determine the eligibility for, and amount of, benefits due under the Plan to participants and their beneficiaries. All such interpretations and determinations of the Administrator shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons.

 

3.    Rights Under ERISA. Eligible Employees who primarily provide services in the United States are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all Plan participants will be entitled to:

 

a. Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits.

 

(i) Examine, without charge, at the Administrator’s office, and at other specified locations, all Plan documents.

 

(ii) Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Administrator. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

 

b. Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries. In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your Employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

 

 

c. Enforce Your Rights.

 

(i) If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

 

(ii) Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents from the Plan and do not receive them within thirty (30) days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to one hundred ten dollars ($110) a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

 

d. Assistance with Your Questions. If you have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   Business   Foot Locker, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Foot Locker,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), is a leading footwear and apparel retailer. We have integrated all available shopping channels, including stores, websites, apps, and social channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from the store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our distribution centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-customer orders are generally shipped to our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and stores depending on availability of particular items. We operate in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, representing our operating segments. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements   Other than the pronouncements disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

Line Of Credit Facilities [Text Block]	7. Revolving Credit Facility   In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which governs our $600 million secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The amendment provides for, among other things, (i) an uncommitted “accordion” feature that allows us, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the size of the revolving credit facility to up to $750 million in the aggregate, (ii) an extension of the maturity date from July 14, 2025 to June 20, 2029, and (iii) a change to the interest rates and commitment fees applicable to the loans and commitments, respectively, as described below. The amendment provides that the interest rate applicable to loans drawn under the credit facility will be equal to, at our option, either a base rate, determined by reference to the federal funds rate, plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or a forward-looking term rate, determined by reference to Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in each case, depending on availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, we will pay a commitment fee from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. No events of default occurred during 2024.   Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on certain assets, including inventory and accounts receivable, cash deposits, and certain insurance proceeds. We may use the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, support standby letters of credit in connection with insurance programs. We did not have any borrowings outstanding as of August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, and the letters of credit outstanding as of  August 3, 2024 were not significant.   We paid fees of $4 million in connection with the amendment of our credit facility and such costs are amortized over the life of the extended facility. The unamortized balance at August 3, 2024 was $5 million, which included the unamortized costs of the prior agreement.

Note 10 - Earnings Per Share	6 Months Ended
	Aug. 03, 2024
Notes to Financial Statements
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	10. Earnings Per Share   We account for earnings per share (“EPS”) using the treasury stock method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic EPS computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:   ​   Thirteen weeks ended     Twenty-six weeks ended   ​   August 3,     July 29,     August 3,     July 29,   (in millions, except per share data)   2024     2023     2024     2023   Net (loss) income   $ (12 )   $ (5 )   $ (4 )   $ 31   Weighted-average common shares outstanding     95.0       94.2       94.8       94.0   Dilutive effect of potential common shares     —       —       —       1.0   Weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution     95.0       94.2       94.8       95.0   ​   ​     ​     ​     ​   (Loss) earnings per share - basic   $ (0.13 )   $ (0.05 )   $ (0.04 )   $ 0.33   (Loss) earnings per share - diluted   $ (0.13 )   $ (0.05 )   $ (0.04 )   $ 0.33   ​   ​     ​     ​     ​   Anti-dilutive share-based awards excluded from diluted calculation     4.0       2.7       4.0       2.4     Performance stock units related to our long-term incentive programs of 1.8 million and 0.8 million have been excluded from diluted weighted-average shares for the periods ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively.

Additionally, performance stock units (“PSU”) are awarded to certain officers and key employees in connection with our long-term incentive program. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock, provided that the applicable performance and vesting conditions are satisfied. PSU awards also include a performance objective based on our relative total shareholder return over the performance period to a pre-determined peer group, assuming the reinvestment of dividends. The fair value of the market condition of our PSU awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of the grant.   Generally, RSU awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically over three years for employees and one year for nonemployee directors, provided there is continued service with the Company until the vesting date, subject to the terms of the award. PSU awards are earned only after the attainment of performance goals in connection with the relevant performance period. PSUs granted in 2024 vest after the attainment of the performance period, which is three years. Prior PSU grants vested after the attainment of the performance period of two years and an additional one-year period. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or PSU awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.   RSU and PSU activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 is summarized as follows:  ​ ​   ​     Weighted-                       Average     Weighted-   ​   Number     Remaining     Average   ​   of     Contractual     Grant Date   ​   Shares     Life     Fair Value   ​   (in thousands)     (in years)     (per share)   Nonvested at beginning of year     1,378     ​     $ 38.81   Granted     1,382     ​       29.00   Vested     (477 )   ​       49.60   Forfeited     (79 )   ​       32.16   Nonvested at August 3, 2024     2,204       1.7     $ 30.57   ​   ​     ​     ​   Aggregate value ($ in millions)   $ 67             ​     The total value of RSU and PSU awards that vested during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 was $24 million and $23 million, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	13. Legal Proceedings   Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, or pre-litigation demands, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or discontinued by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims.   We do not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole, based upon current knowledge and taking into consideration current accruals. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Judgments could be rendered or settlements made that could adversely affect the Company's operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
