Note 1.
Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 28, 201729, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2018January 28, 2023 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 201729, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2017.
During the fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2022, the Company began purchasing short-term investments. Short-term investments are securities with original maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months and are comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company determines the classification of these securities as trading, available for sale or held to maturity at the time of purchase and re-evaluates these determinations at each balance sheet date. Our short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity for the period presented as we have the positive intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. Our held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximated fair value, and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment.
Note 2. Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and Management believes there is no accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would be relevant to the Company’s current condensed consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency of the use of supplier finance programs by requiring that the buyers in those programs provide additional disclosures about the program’s nature and potential magnitude, including a rollforward of the obligations and activity during the period. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The amendments in the update should be applied retrospectively, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2.3. Business Segments
The Company operates in
two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”).For the Company’s retail operations, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into
one reportable segment. The Company’s operating segments are9
aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information.
The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales by segment and major product line:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017.
Excluding the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 largely due to hurricanes Harvey and Irma affecting Texas and Florida, which are the Company's two largest states by sales. Duringunprecedented performance for the three months ended October 28, 2017, comparable30, 2021, the Company’s results for the three months ended October 29, 2022 were notably better than historical third quarter performances.
Comparable retail store sales declined 1% over last year'sincreased 3% for the three months ended October 29, 2022 compared to the prior year third quarter. GrossRetail gross margin from retail operations decreased 137declined 100 basis pointspoint of net sales. sales to 45.7% compared to the prior year record high third quarter gross margin of 46.7%, marking the Company’s seventh consecutive quarter of gross margin exceeding 40%. The Company continued its efforts to control inventory during the quarter. Inventory increased 8% at October 29, 2022 compared to October 30, 2021, primarily as a result of rising inflation throughout the Company’s supply chain.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses ("SG&A") from retail operationsfor the three months ended October 29, 2022 increased 24 basis pointsto $413.8 million (26.8% of net sales.sales) compared to $393.2 million (26.5% of sales) for the prior year third quarter. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased payroll and payroll-related expenses in the current highly competitive wage environment which began in 2021 and has continued throughout 2022.
For the three months ended October 29, 2022, the Company reported consolidated net income of $14.5$187.9 million ($0.5010.96 per share) for the current year third quarter compared to consolidated net income of $22.8$197.3 million ($0.679.81 per share) for the prior year third quarter.
Cash flows fromprovided by operating activities were $55.5$558.4 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2017.
As of October 29, 2022, the Company had working capital of $1,159.2 million (including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $532.7 million and $198.0 million, respectively) and $566.1 million of total debt outstanding, excluding operating lease liabilities, and including one scheduled debt maturity of $44.8 million at the end of fiscal 2022.
On November 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $15.00 per share. The dividend is payable on the Class A and Class B Common Stock of the Company on January 9, 2023 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2022.
The Company maintained 277 Dillard’s stores, including 28 clearance centers, and onean internet store.store as of October 29, 2022.
At present, a number of economic and geopolitical factors are affecting the U.S. and world economies (including countries from which we source some of our merchandise): fluctuating gas prices (in part due to the war in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S. and other countries), inflation and interest rate increases, uncertainty around shipping costs and shipping capacity, U.S. port slowdowns, increasing U.S. wages in a tight labor market as well as some continuing effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which our business will be affected by these factors depends on our customer’s ability and willingness to accept price increases and our ability to receive merchandise timely. Accordingly, the related financial impact to fiscal 2022 from these factors cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Total inventory increased 3% in total8% as of October 28, 201729, 2022 compared to October 29, 2016.30, 2021, primarily as a result of rising inflation throughout the Company’s supply chain. A 1% change in the dollar amount of markdowns would have impacted net income by approximately $2$1 million and $7$5 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017,29, 2022, respectively.
We source a significant portion of our private label and exclusive brand merchandise from countries that continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, many of our branded merchandise vendors may also source a significant portion of their merchandise from these same countries. This issue continues to negatively impact our supply chain, resulting in shipping delays as well as increased shipping costs.
Additionally, disruptions continue in the global transportation network, and it is unclear when these issues will be resolved. The California ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which together handle a significant portion of United States merchandise imports, have experienced delays in processing imported merchandise, thereby resulting in untimely deliveries of merchandise. While these ports are currently operating with few delays, further shipping delays may occur if the ongoing west coast port labor contract negotiations fail or if the ongoing labor contract negotiations related to United States railroads, which move goods out of these ports, fail.
At present, while monitoring all of these situations closely, management is unable to quantify the effects of these factors on the Company's results of operations and inventory position for fiscal 2022.
