    MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --

    • Second quarter net sales were $25.2 billion, (0.9) percent lower than 2024, representing a nearly 2 percentage point improvement versus the first quarter.
      • Traffic and sales trends improved meaningfully compared with the first quarter, particularly in stores. 
      • All six core merchandising categories saw comparable sales improvements compared with the first quarter.
      • Digital comparable sales grew 4.3 percent, reflecting more than 25% growth in same-day delivery powered by Target Circle 360 and continued growth in Drive Up. 
      • Non-merchandise sales grew 14.2% with Roundel, membership and marketplace revenues all growing double digits.
    • Second quarter GAAP and Adjusted EPS1 was $2.05, reflecting strong expense management and efficiency gains, helping to offset continued tariff-related and other cost pressures throughout the business.

    Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its second quarter 2025 financial results. The Company reported second quarter GAAP and Adjusted earnings per share1 (EPS) of $2.05 compared with GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $2.57 in 2024. The attached tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures. All earnings per share figures refer to diluted EPS.

    "With the board's unanimous decision to appoint Michael Fiddelke as Target's next CEO, I want to express my full confidence in his leadership and focus on driving improved results and sustainable growth. He's contributed meaningfully during times of change and played a critical role in establishing the differentiated capabilities that will continue to drive Target forward. Michael brings a deep understanding of our business and a genuine commitment to accelerating our progress," said Brian Cornell, chair and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. "Today, we also reported our second quarter earnings, which showed encouraging signs of recovery, including improved traffic and sales trends — particularly in our stores — and disciplined cost management in a challenging retail environment. As we enter the critical back-to-school and holiday seasons, our team remains focused on consistent execution and building momentum as we look ahead to the new year."

    Guidance

    For fiscal 2025, the Company is maintaining its expectation of a low-single digit decline in sales, and GAAP EPS of $8.00 to $10.00. Adjusted EPS, which excludes the gains from litigation settlements in the first quarter, is expected to be approximately $7.00 to $9.00.

    Operating Results

    Net Sales of $25.2 billion in the second quarter were 0.9 percent lower than last year, reflecting a merchandise sales decrease of 1.2 percent, partially offset by a 14.2 percent increase in non-merchandise sales.  Comparable sales decreased 1.9 percent in the second quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 3.2 percent, partially offset by comparable digital sales growth of 4.3 percent.  Second quarter operating income of $1.3 billion was 19.4 percent lower than last year.

    Second quarter operating income margin rate was 5.2 percent in 2025, compared with 6.4 percent in 2024. Second quarter gross margin rate was 29.0 percent, compared with 30.0 percent in 2024, reflecting the net impact of merchandising activities, including higher markdown rates, purchase order cancellation costs, and pressure from category mix, partially offset by lower inventory shrink and growth in advertising and non-merchandise sales. Second quarter SG&A expenses were 0.1 percent lower than in 2024, as increased investments in store remodels and general cost increases across the business were offset by disciplined cost management. Second quarter SG&A expense rate was 21.3 percent, compared with 21.1 percent in 2024, reflecting the deleveraging effect of lower sales.

    Interest Expense and Taxes

    The Company's second quarter 2025 net interest expense was $116 million, compared with $110 million last year, reflecting higher average debt levels in the current year.

    Second quarter 2025 effective income tax rate was 23.2 percent, compared with the prior year rate of 22.9 percent, reflecting the impact of higher global minimum taxes.

    Capital Deployment and Return on Invested Capital

    The Company paid dividends of $509 million in the second quarter, compared with $509 million last year, reflecting a 1.8 percent increase in the dividend per share, offset by the impact of a lower average share count.

    The Company did not repurchase any stock in the second quarter. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had approximately $8.4 billion of remaining capacity under the repurchase program approved by Target's Board of Directors in August 2021.

    For the trailing twelve months through second quarter 2025, after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 14.3 percent, compared with 16.6 percent for the trailing twelve months through second quarter 2024. The tables in this release provide additional information about the Company's ROIC calculation.

    Webcast Details

    Target will webcast its second quarter earnings conference call at 7:00 a.m. CT today. Investors and the media are invited to listen to the meeting at Corporate.Target.com/Investors (click on "Q2 2025 Target Corporation Earnings Conference Call" under "Events & Presentations").

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To provide additional transparency, we disclose non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes certain items presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share. Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS differently, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

    (a)

    Full-year 2025 GAAP EPS may include the impact of additional discrete items, which will be excluded in calculating Adjusted EPS. The guidance does not currently reflect any such additional discrete items. In the past, these items have included losses on the early retirement of debt and certain other items that are discretely managed.

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

For the twelve months ended August 2, 2025, and August 3, 2024, includes tax effect of $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, related to EBIT, and $38 million and $33 million, respectively, related to operating lease interest.

    (f)
