COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had and continue to have a significant impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial position. At present, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative effect on the Company's liquidity and net sales. Due to heightened uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, our liquidity, net sales and profitability may be further impacted if we are unable to appropriately manage our inventory levels and expenses.

The Company began closing stores on March 19, 2020 as mandated by state and local governments, and by April 9, 2020, all 285brick-and-mortar store locations were temporarily closed.closed to the public. The Company began re-opening stores on May 5, 2020, and by June 2, 2020, all stores had been re-opened using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") guidelines to promote a safe environment for our customers and employees. All stores remainare currently open and operating at reduced hourshours. A very small number of our locations were temporarily closed to in-store shopping due to government mandate. Other local mandates throughout the country require occupancy limits with the exception of one location.which we are required to comply. We continue to monitor additional local government orders that may affect our operations.
 
As part of the Company's liquidity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the Company borrowed $779 million under theits revolving credit agreement, which was repaid concurrent with the execution of the amended credit agreement. At August 1,October 31, 2020, borrowings of $229.6$15.0 million were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $21.021.1 million were issued under the amended credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of $447.0763.9 million. See Note 7, Revolving Credit Agreement, for additional information. 

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets and operating lease assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and determined that as of August 1,October 31, 2020, the carrying values of our property and equipment and operating

lease assets were recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded for the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020. We

will continue to monitor these factors and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future periods and continue to assess these assets for impairment as needed.  

Note 2.  Accounting Standards
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments within ASU No. 2019-12 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ofdoes not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.  Business Segments
 
The Company operates in 2 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 1 reportable segment.  The Company’s operating segments are 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 1 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:

Note 6.  Benefit Plans
 
The Company has an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan (“Pension Plan”) for its officers. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation during employment. The Company determines pension expense using an actuarial cost method to estimate the total benefits ultimately payable to officers and allocates this cost to service periods. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually. The Company contributed $1.4 million and $2.8$4.2 million to the Pension Plan during the three and sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, respectively, and expects to make additional contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $2.7$1.5 million during the remainder of fiscal 2020.

Note 7.  Revolving Credit Agreement
 
In April 2020, the Company amended its credit agreement (the "amended credit agreement"). After giving effect to the amendment, the amended credit agreement became secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries. The amended credit agreement provides a borrowing capacity of $800 million, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the amended credit agreement, with a $200 million expansion option and matures on August 9, 2022. The amended credit agreement is available to the Company for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The Company pays a variable rate of interest on borrowings under the amended credit agreement and a commitment fee to the participating banks. The rate of interest on borrowings is the greater of LIBOR or 1.0% plus 1.750%, and the commitment fee for unused borrowings is 0.30% per annum. As long as availability exceeds $100 million and no event of default occurs and is continuing, there are no financial covenant requirements under the amended credit agreement.  

Concurrent with the signing of the amended credit facility, the Company repaid the $779 million borrowed on March 25, 2020 under the previous agreement. Additionally, the Company paid $3.0$3.2 million in issuance costs related to the amended credit agreement, which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At August 1,October 31, 2020, $229.6$15.0 million of borrowings were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $21.0$21.1 million were issued under the amended credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the credit facility of $447.0$763.9 million. The weighted average interest rate under the credit agreement for the borrowings outstanding at August 1,October 31, 2020 was 2.75%.

Note 9.  Income Taxes

The Company expects to be in a net operating loss position for the fiscal year.year ending January 30, 2021. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows for net operating loss carryback to years in which the statutory federal tax rate was 35% rather than the current 21%. During the three and sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, income tax benefit differed from what would be computed using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit of $17.4$32.4 million and $32.1$64.6 million, respectively, related to the rate differential in the carryback year including its impact on changes in estimates of temporary differences for the current and prior year. Income tax benefit for the three and sixnine months also included the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income taxes.

During the three and sixnine months ended August 3,November 2, 2019, income taxes differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income taxes which included tax benefits recognized of approximately$2.8 millionfor amended state income tax return filings and related decreases to accrued state income taxes.

Note 12. Leases

The Company leases retail stores, office space and equipment under operating leases. As of August 1,October 31, 2020, February 1, 2020 and August 3,November 2, 2019, right-of-use operating lease assets, which are recorded in operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $44.1$40.5 million, $47.9 million and $52.6$48.6 million, respectively, and operating lease liabilities, which are recorded in current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, totaled $43.8$40.2 million, $47.3 million and $52.1$48.2 million, respectively.
In determining our operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, we apply an incremental borrowing rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASU No. 2016-02 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever that rate is readily determinable; furthermore, if the implicit rate is not readily determinable, a lessee may use its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates that align with applicable lease terms, we utilize a model consistent with the credit quality of our outstanding debt instruments.
Renewal options from two to 20 years exist on the majority of leased properties. The Company has sole discretion in exercising the lease renewal options. We do not recognize operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities for renewal periods unless we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception. The depreciable life of operating lease assets and related leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term.
Contingent rentals on certain leases are based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of specified amounts. Other contingent rentals are based entirely on a percentage of sales. The Company's operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have a significant impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial position. The Company began closing stores on March 19, 2020 as mandated by state and local governments, and by April 9, 2020, all 285brick-and-mortar store locations were temporarily closed.closed to the public.

All stores remainare currently open and operating at reduced hourshours. A very small number of our locations were temporarily closed to in-store shopping due to government mandate. Other local mandates throughout the country require occupancy limits with the exception of one location.  Sales performance in these stores since re-opening through August 1, 2020 was approximately 72% of prior year sales on corresponding days. which we are required to comply. We continue to monitor additional local government orders that may affect our operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $267.1$318.2 million compared to $409.1$418.1 million from the prior year secondthird quarter primarily due to decreases in payroll expense associated withpartially as a result of the furlough of store associates, support facility functions and corporate employees andCompany's reduced storeoperating hours.

Net sales.  Net sales includes merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (“CDI”), the Company’s general contracting construction company.  Comparable store sales includes sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the current quarter and the corresponding quarter for the prior year, including our internet store.  Comparable store sales excludes changes in the allowance for sales returns.  Non-comparable store sales includes:  sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.

Sales occur as a result of interaction with customers across multiple points of contact, creating an interdependence between in-store and online sales. Online orders are fulfilled from both fulfillment centers and retail stores. Additionally, online customers have the ability to buy online and pick up in-store. Retail in-store customers have the ability to purchase items that may be ordered and fulfilled from either a fulfillment center or another retail store location. Online customers may return orders via mail, or customers may return orders placed online to retail store locations. Customers who earn reward points under the private label credit card program may earn and redeem rewards through in-store or online purchases.
 
Service charges and other income.  Service charges and other income includes income generated through the long-term private label card alliance with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

LIBOR

The use of LIBOR is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. At this time, there is no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR beyond 2021 or of any particular replacement rate. Going forward, we intend to work with our lenders to use a suitable alternative reference rate for the amended credit agreement, the Wells Fargo Alliance and any other applicable agreements. We will continue to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Seasonality

Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season.  Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Service charges and other income is composed primarily of income from the Wells Fargo Alliance. Income from the alliance decreased during the three and sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020 compared to the three and sixnine months ended August 3,November 2, 2019 primarily due to decreases in finance charges. Shipping and handling income increased during the three and sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020 compared to the three and sixnine months ended August 3,November 2, 2019 primarily due to the increase in online orders and ship-from-store capabilities.

Leased department income consisted primarily of commissions from a principal licensed department of an upscale women's apparel vendor located in certain stores. By August 1,the end of July 2020, our agreement with this principal licensed department had been terminated. We expect future leased department income to be minimal.

Income Taxes

The Company expects to be in a net operating loss position for the fiscal year. The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows for net operating loss carryback to years in which the statutory federal tax rate was 35% rather than the current 21%. The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 74.3% and 34.8%46.9% for the three and sixnine months ended August 1, 2020, respectively.October 31, 2020. During the three and sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, income tax benefit differed from what would be computed using the current statutory federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit of $17.4$32.4 million and $32.1$64.6 million, respectively, related to the rate differential in the carryback year including its impact on changes in estimates of temporary differences for the current and prior year. Income tax benefit for the three and sixnine months also included the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income taxes.

The Company’s estimated federal and state effective income tax rate was approximately 22.0%-88.2% and 15.8% for the three and sixnine months ended August 3, 2019.November 2, 2019, respectively. During the three and sixnine months ended August 3,November 2, 2019, income taxes differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effects of federal tax credits and state and local income taxes which included tax benefits recognized of approximately $2.8 million for amended state income tax return filings and related decreases to accrued state income taxes.

Due to uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, the Company is not providing an expected fiscal 2020 federal and state effective income tax rate.

Wells Fargo owns and manages the Dillard's private label cards under the Wells Fargo Alliance. Under the Wells Fargo Alliance, Wells Fargo establishes and owns private label card accounts for our customers, retains the benefits and risks associated with the ownership of the accounts, provides key customer service functions, including new account openings, transaction authorization, billing adjustments and customer inquiries, receives the finance charge income and incurs the bad debts associated with those accounts.

Pursuant to the Wells Fargo Alliance, we receive on-going cash compensation from Wells Fargo based upon the portfolio's earnings. The compensation received from the portfolio is determined monthly and has no recourse provisions. The amount the Company receives is dependent on the level of sales on Wells Fargo accounts, the level of balances carried on Wells Fargo accounts by Wells Fargo customers, payment rates on Wells Fargo accounts, finance charge rates and other fees on Wells Fargo accounts, the level of credit losses for the Wells Fargo accounts as well as Wells Fargo's ability to extend credit to our customers. We participate in the marketing of the private label cards, which includes the cost of customer reward programs. The Wells Fargo Alliance expires in fiscal 2024.

The Company received income of $35.5$52.0 million and $42.3$66.2 million from the Wells Fargo Alliance during the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020 and August 3,November 2, 2019, respectively. The Company is unable to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the portfolio's earnings and the on-going cash compensation from the Wells Fargo Alliance.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, the Company received proceeds from insurance of $8.7 million for claims filed for merchandise losses related to storm damage incurred at two stores.  

Capital expenditures were $38.6$52.1 million and $38.0$70.9 million for the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020 and August 3,November 2, 2019, respectively. The capital expenditures were primarily related to equipment purchases and the remodeling of existing stores during the current year. 

During the sixnine months ended August 3,October 31, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $1.5 million and recorded a related loss of $2.2 million, primarily for the sale of one store property in Slidell, Louisiana.

During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, the Company received cash proceeds of $22.0 million and recorded a related gain of $12.3$12.0 million for the sale of three store locations in Boardman, Ohio, Boynton Beach, Florida and Cary, North Carolina. The proceeds from the Boardman, Ohio store and Cary, North Carolina store salessale were being held in escrow for the acquisition of replacement property under a like-kind exchange agreements.agreement. The escrow accounts wereaccount was administered by an intermediary. Pursuant to the like-kindlike-

Table of Contents
kind exchange agreements,agreement, the cash was restricted for a maximum of 180 days from the date of the property sale pending the acquisition of replacement property. As of August 3,November 2, 2019, the acquisitions of a replacement propertiesproperty had not yet occurred; therefore, the proceeds were classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The proceeds from the Boardman, Ohio store sale were previously held in escrow prior to the acquisition of the replacement property at Columbia Mall in Columbia, Missouri during the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

During the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company opened an 85,000 square foot expansion at Columbia Mall in Columbia, Missouri (dual-anchor location totaling 185,000 square feet). Additionally, the Company replaced a 100,000 square foot leased facility at Richland Fashion Mall in Waco, Texas with a 125,000 square foot owned facility (dual-anchor location totaling 190,000 square feet).

During the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, we permanently closed the locations at Central Mall in Lawton, Oklahoma (100,000 square feet); Crossroads Center in Waterloo, Iowa (150,000 square feet); and North Plains Mall in Clovis, New Mexico (62,000 square feet). We announced the upcoming closure of the Paradise Valley Mall location in Phoenix, Arizona (200,000 square feet). We remain committed to closing under-performing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to such stores when they close.

The Company had cash on hand of $82.9$61.1 million as of August 1,October 31, 2020.  As part of our overall liquidity management strategy and for peak working capital requirements, the Company maintained an unsecured credit facility that provided a borrowing capacity of $800 million with a $200 million expansion option ("credit agreement") until the credit agreement was amended in April 2020 (the "amended credit agreement"). After giving effect to the amendment, the amended credit agreement became secured by certain deposit accounts of the Company and certain inventory of certain subsidiaries. The amended credit agreement is available to the Company for general corporate purposes including, among other uses, working capital financing, the issuance of letters of credit, capital expenditures and, subject to certain restrictions, the repayment of existing indebtedness and share repurchases. The rate of interest on borrowings under the amended credit agreement is the greater of LIBOR or 1.0%

plus 1.750%, and the commitment fee for unused borrowings is 0.30% per annum. So long as availability exceeds $100 million and no event of default occurs and is continuing, there are no financial covenant requirements under the amended credit agreement.  The Company paid $3.0$3.2 million in issuance costs related to the amended credit agreement, which were recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Company's liquidity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the Company borrowed $779 million under the credit agreement, which was repaid concurrent with the execution of the amended credit agreement. At August 1,October 31, 2020, borrowings of $229.6$15.0 million were outstanding, and letters of credit totaling $21.0$21.1 million were issued under the amended credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the credit facility of $447.0$763.9 million. The weighted average interest rate under the credit agreement for the borrowings outstanding at August 1,October 31, 2020 was 2.75%.

During the sixnine months ended August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1.62.2 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $47.99$42.83 per share for $76.1$95.6 million (including the accrual of $3.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of August 1, 2020) under the Company's March 2018 Plan. Additionally, the Company paid $7.3 million for share repurchases that had not yet settled but were accrued at February 1, 2020. During the sixnine months ended August 3,November 2, 2019, the Company repurchased 1.11.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $62.27$60.96 per share for $66.3$101.5 million under the Company's March 2018 Plan. At August 1,October 31, 2020, $192.6$173.1 million of authorization remained under the March 2018 Plan. The ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative effect on the Company's liquidity and net sales. Due to heightened uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, our liquidity, net sales and profitability may be further impacted if we are unable to appropriately manage our inventory levels and expenses.
The Company expects to finance its operations during fiscal 2020 from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and utilization of the credit facility. Depending upon our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, the Company will from time to time consider other possible financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to fund working capital or for other corporate purposes.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020 includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the following risk factor may have the additional effect of heightening many of the risks noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Otherwise, except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on public health, our supply chain, the health and well-being of our employees and customers, and the retail industry in general, has had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since that time, the virus has rapidly spread to other countries around the world, including the United States. In response to the pandemic, national and local governments, including those in the regions in which we operate, have taken various measures to attempt to slow the spread of the virus, including travel bans; prohibitions on group events and large gatherings; extended shutdowns of schools, government offices and certain businesses; curfews and recommendations to practice “social distancing.” Accordingly, the Company began closing its stores on March 19, 2020, and all 285brick-and-mortar store locations were temporarily closed to the public by April 9, 2020.
The Company hashad reopened all stores as of June 2, 2020. Stores are operating at reduced hours and implementing certain safety measures to ensure the safety of our customers and associates, which may have the effect of discouraging shopping or limiting the occupancy of our stores. These measures, and any additional measures that have been and may continue to be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have substantially decreased and may continue to decrease, the number of customers that visit our stores and the shopping malls in which our stores are located, which has had, and will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. All stores are currently open and operating at reduced hours. A very small number of our locations were temporarily closed to in-store shopping due to government mandate. Other local mandates throughout the country require occupancy limits with which we are required to comply. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in place, what additional measures may be imposed, or when our operations will be restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent surge in reported cases and hospitalizations in the U.S. could result in additional mandated business closures.
In addition, our business depends on consumer discretionary spending, and as such, our results are particularly sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence. COVID-19 has significantly impacted economic conditions, resulting in, among other things, unprecedented increases in the number of people seeking jobless benefits and a significant decline in global financial markets. As a result, even when all of our store locations are fully operational, there can be no guarantee that our revenue will return to its pre-COVID-19 levels.
The Company sources a significant portion of its private label and exclusive brand merchandise from countries that have experienced widespread transmission of the virus, including China. Additionally, many of the Company’s branded merchandise vendors may also source a significant portion of their merchandise from these same countries. Manufacturing capacity in those countries has been materially impacted by the pandemic, which has negatively impacted our supply chain. If this continues, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to locate alternative sources of supply for our merchandise on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to adequately source our merchandise or purchase appropriate amounts of merchandise from branded vendors, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Additionally, in the event that the Company were to experience widespread transmission of the virus at one or more of the Company’s stores or other facilities, the Company could suffer reputational harm or other potential liability. Further, the
