Company Guidance
During the First Quarter 2025 Kohl's Corporation Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance focusing on several key metrics and strategic initiatives. Kohl's reported a net sales decline of 4.1% and a comparable sales decrease of 3.9% for the quarter, with stores outperforming digital channels. Gross margin increased by 37 basis points to 39.9%, driven by category mix and inventory management, while SG&A expenses decreased by 5.2%, leveraging approximately 32 basis points. The company maintained its guidance for fiscal 2025, projecting comparable sales down 4% to 6%, operating margin of 2.2% to 2.6%, and diluted EPS of $0.10 to $0.60. Key strategic areas include offering a more balanced product assortment, enhancing value and quality, and delivering a frictionless shopping experience. Kohl's also emphasized the importance of proprietary brands, which saw quarter-over-quarter performance improve by approximately 400 basis points. The company is focusing on leveraging its 1,100 stores, 60 million customers, and initiatives like the expansion of Sephora at Kohl's, which contributed to a $2 billion beauty business. Despite the macroeconomic uncertainties, including tariff impacts, Kohl's aims to achieve its financial goals by continuing to optimize store layouts, refine promotions, and enhance inventory management.
