Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

In addition, there are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Long-lived store assets, which include leasehold improvements, store related assets and operating lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Store assets are grouped at the lowest level for which they are largely independent of other assets or asset groups. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset group are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value, determined by the estimated

~~Table of Contents~~

discounted future cash flows of the asset group. For operating lease assets, the Company determines the fair value of the assets by comparing the contractual rent payments to estimated market rental rates. An individual asset within an asset group is not impaired below its estimated fair value. The fair value of long-lived store assets are determined using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

As a result of the Victoria's Secret fleet rationalization executed during 2020 and the negative operating results of certain Victoria's Secret stores, the Company determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying values for certain Victoria's Secret asset groups and, as a result, determined the estimated fair values of the store asset groups using estimated discounted future cash flows and estimated market rental rates. Long-lived store asset impairment charges are included within the Victoria's Secret segment, in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the 2020 Consolidated Statements of Loss.

~~The following table provides pre-tax long-lived store asset impairment charges included in the 2020 Consolidated Statements of Loss:~~

~~Victoria's Secret Hong Kong~~

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company closed its unprofitable Victoria's Secret flagship store in Hong Kong. As a result of the store closure, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax gain of $39 million, primarily due to terminating the store lease and the related write-off of the operating lease liability in excess of the operating lease asset, which was partially impaired in fiscal 2019. This gain is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the 2020 Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company also recorded $3 million of severance and related costs, included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2020 Consolidated Statements of Loss.

~~Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes~~

In July 2021, Victoria’s Secret & Co., prior to the Separation and while a subsidiary of the Company, issued $600 million of 4.625% notes due in July 2029 in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of July 31, 2021, the initial proceeds were held in escrow for release to Victoria's Secret & Co. upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including completion of the Separation. If the conditions for the release from escrow of the proceeds were not satisfied, the Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes would have been subject to mandatory redemption. The $600 million initial proceeds are included in Cash in Escrow related to Victoria's Secret & Co. Spin-Off on the July 31, 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes were not guaranteed at issuance by any guarantors or by Bath & Body Works, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries following the Separation.

On August 2, 2021, the Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes became the obligations of Victoria's Secret & Co. concurrent with the Separation. Victoria's Secret & Co. received cash proceeds of $592 million, which were net of issuance costs of $8 million, which it used to partially fund the approximately $976 million cash payments to the Company in connection with the Separation.

~~Asset-Backed~~Asset-backed Revolving Credit Facility

The Company and certain of the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries guarantee and pledge collateral to secure a revolving credit facility ("Credit Agreement"). In April 2020, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the Credit

Table of Contents

Agreement to convert the Company’s credit facility into an asset-backed revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”)., which allows borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. During the first quarter of 2020, in an abundance of caution and as a proactive measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to borrow $950 million from its revolving facility. This borrowing was repaid during the first quarter of 2020 upon completion of the April amendment.

~~As of July 31, 2021, the ABL Facility, which allowed borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, had aggregate commitments at $1 billion and an expiration date in~~In August ~~2024.~~

As of July 31, 2021, the availability under the ABL Facility was the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, accounts receivable, inventory and eligible real property, or (ii) the aggregate commitment. If at any time, the outstanding amount under the ABL Facility exceeded the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitment, the Company would have been required to prepay the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to the extent of such excess. In addition, at any time that the Company's consolidated cash balance exceeded $350 million, it would have been required to prepay outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to the extent of such excess. As of July 31, 2021, the Company's borrowing base was $1.045 billion, but it was unable to draw upon the ABL Facility as its consolidated cash balance exceeded $350 million.

The ABL Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $58 million of outstanding letters of credit as of July 31, 2021 that reduced its availability under the ABL Facility.

As of July 31, 2021, the ABL Facility fees related to committed and unutilized amounts were 0.30% per annum, and the fees related to outstanding letters of credit were 1.75% per annum. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.75% per annum. The interest rate on outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings was the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 1.75% per annum.

The ABL Facility required the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 during an event of default or any period commencing on any day when specified excess availability is less than the greater of (1) $100 million or (2) 15% of the maximum borrowing amount. As of July 31, 2021, the Company was not required to maintain this ratio.

~~As of July 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.~~

~~Subsequent to July 31,~~ 2021, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement (“Amendment”) of the ~~ABL Facility.~~Credit Agreement. The Amendment reduced the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility to $750 million, reduced the interest rates on outstanding borrowings by 50 basis points, removed the requirement to prepay outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility should the Company's consolidated cash balance exceed $350 million, extended the expiration date from August 2024 to August 2026 and released Victoria's Secret & Co. subsidiaries as guarantors, among other things.

~~Foreign Facilities~~Availability under the ABL Facility is the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, determined primarily based on the Company's eligible U.S. and Canadian credit card receivables, accounts receivable, inventory and eligible real property, or (ii) the aggregate commitment. If at any time, the outstanding amount under the ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitment, the Company is required to prepay the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to the extent of such excess. As of October 30, 2021, the Company's borrowing base was $1.033 billion.

~~Certain~~The ABL Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $16 million of outstanding letters of credit as of October 30, 2021 that reduced its availability under the ABL Facility.

As of October 30, 2021, the ABL Facility fees related to committed and unutilized amounts were 0.30% per annum, and the fees related to outstanding letters of credit were 1.25% per annum. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding U.S. dollar borrowings was the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.25% per annum. The interest rate on outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings was the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 1.25% per annum.

The ABL Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 during an event of default or any period commencing on any day when specified excess availability is less than the greater of (1) $70 million or (2) 10% of the ~~Company's Victoria's Secret subsidiaries in China previously utilized revolving and term loan bank facilities~~maximum borrowing amount.

~~12.~~13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance, regulatory and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Management believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims and contingencies, if any, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On May 19, 2020 and January 12, 2021, certain shareholders of the Company filed derivative lawsuits in the Court of Common Pleas for Franklin County, Ohio (subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio) and the Delaware Court of Chancery, respectively, naming as defendants certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and alleging, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty through asserted violations of law and failures to monitor workplace conduct (the “Lawsuits”). In addition, the Company also received litigation and books-and-records demands from certain other shareholders related to the same matters (together with the Lawsuits, the “Actions”).

In July 2021, the Company announced the global settlement resolving the Actions. The settlement resolves all derivative claims that have been or could have been asserted in the Actions or that involve in any way the allegations referred to in the Actions and releases all such claims against the Company and past and present Company employees, officers and directors, among others. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed to implement certain management and governance measures, including the maintenance of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. Following the August 2, 2021 spin-off of Victoria’s Secret & Co., the settlement terms will apply to both the Company and Victoria’s Secret & Co. Each company has committed to invest $45 million over at least five years to fund the management and governance measures. The settlement is subject to approval of the United States District Court of the Southern District of Ohio.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Bath & Body Works, Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the Company) as of ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021 and ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and total equity (deficit) for the thirteen and ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine week periods ended ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021 and ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~twenty-six~~thirty-nine week periods ended ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021 and ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 30, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), total equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 19, 2021, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. ~~In our opinion,~~As described in Note 2 to the ~~information set forth~~Company’s unaudited interim financial statements, on August 2, 2021, the Company completed the separation of the Victoria’s Secret business by means of a spin-off. Accordingly, the Company presented the assets and liabilities of the Victoria’s Secret business as discontinued operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations on a retrospective basis, resulting in revision of the ~~accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of~~ January 30, 2021 ~~is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the~~ consolidated balance sheet. We have not audited and reported on the revised balance sheet ~~from which it has been derived.~~reflecting Victoria’s Secret as discontinued operations.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1. Financial ~~Statements.~~Statements in this Form 10-Q.

~~Executive Overview~~Victoria's Secret Spin-Off

InOn August 2, 2021, we completed the ~~second quarter~~spin-off of ~~2021,~~ our operating income increased to $599 million as compared to $44 million in 2020, and our operating income rate increased to 18.1% from 1.9%. These results were primarily driven by increases in net sales at both Bath & Body Works and Victoria’sVictoria's Secret business, which included the ~~increase in merchandise margin rate at~~ Victoria's Secret and $117 million of Victoria's Secret store asset impairment charges in the prior year. Net sales increased $999 million, or 43%, to $3.318 billion. Sales were strong throughout the second quarter of 2021 as customers responded positively to the merchandise assortments. Second quarter 2020 sales and operating results were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 related store closures for roughly half the quarter.

At Bath & Body Works, net sales increased $451 million, or 36%, to $1.704 billion and operating income increased $94 million, or 28%, to $431 million. We delivered record sales and profitability in the second quarter as sales trends remained strong at continued healthy margin rates. Similar to the first quarter, we were able to be selective on promotional activity. We are optimistic about our Fall and Holiday product assortments and our continued ability to execute against our long-term growth strategy in stores and online. Risks related to COVID-19 persist, and we plan to continue to operate both of our channels in a safe manner for our customers and associates.

At Victoria's Secret, net sales increased $548 million, or 51%, to $1.614 billion and operating income increased to $233 million as compared to a loss of $219 million in the second quarter of 2020. Sales improved as second quarter of 2020 sales were negatively impacted by the closure of stores for approximately 70% of the quarter. Margin results improved during the second quarter of 2021 as we were able to reduce promotional activity, which drove significant improvement to the merchandise margin rate. Additionally, we recognized $117 million of store asset impairment charges in the prior year.

~~For additional information related to our second quarter 2021 financial performance, see “Results of Operations.”~~

~~Impacts of Victoria's Secret Spin-Off~~

~~The spin-off of the Victoria’s Secret business~~PINK brands, into an independent ~~public company was completed on August 2, 2021 subsequent to~~publicly traded company. As a result, the end of the second quarter. We believe the spin-off will enable us to maximize management focus and financial flexibility to thrive in an evolving retail environment and deliver long-term profitable growth. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the historical financialoperating results offor the Victoria's Secret business ~~for periods prior to~~through the date of the spin-off ~~will be reflected~~are reported in Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented. In addition, the related assets and liabilities are reported as Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts, percentages and discussion reflect only the results of operations and financial condition from our ~~consolidated financial statements as discontinued~~continuing operations.

In connection with the ~~Separation,~~spin-off, we expect future capital and expense related to the implementation of new information technology platforms. Although our work is in the early stages and our estimates are preliminary, we currently estimate that our total expenditures could be $100 million to $150 million over the next several years. Such estimates are subject to change as our work continues. Victoria’s Secret & Co. will provide technology services to us under a Transition Services Agreement while we create independent system environments, which we believe will help to minimize dis-synergies. The above estimates are preliminary in nature, are based solely on information available to us as of the date of this quarterly report and are inherently uncertain and subject to change.

Executive Overview

In the third quarter of 2021, net sales decreased $21 million, or 1%, to $1.681 billion and our operating income decreased $27 million, or 6%, to $409 million. On a two-year basis, net sales increased $582 million, or 53%, compared to $1.099 billion in the third quarter of 2019. Performance was strong throughout the quarter as we saw good customer response to our fall seasonal and Halloween merchandise. Higher supply chain and transportation costs this year, due to market constraints and inflation, negatively impacted gross margin dollars. We were able to offset some of these cost increases through ticket price increases and adjustments to promotional offers.

Table of Contents

We believe we are well-positioned as we go into the important Holiday season and fourth quarter. We proactively managed production and promotions throughout the third quarter and did not experience significant out-of-stocks, and we expect our assortments to be full and abundant for Holiday. We are partnering closely with our vendors to support production needs in order to continue to meet customer demand. Inflationary pressure in raw materials, wages, supply chain and transportation costs negatively impacted our third quarter results and will put even more pressure on our fourth quarter results. We will continue to proactively manage pricing and promotion with the goal of offsetting this cost pressure where possible. Risks related to COVID-19 persist, and we expect to continue to operate both of our channels in a safe manner for our customers and associates.

For additional information related to our third quarter 2021 financial performance, see “Results of Operations.”

Impacts of COVID-19

The coronavirus pandemic has created significant public health concerns as well as economic disruption, uncertainty and volatility. Our operations and financial performance have been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first quarter of 2020, all of our company-operated stores ~~in North America~~ were closed on March 17, 2020, but we were able to re-open the majority of our stores as of the end of the second quarter of 2020. ~~Additionally, operations for Victoria’s Secret~~Our Direct ~~were temporarily suspended for approximately one week in late March 2020, while Bath & Body Works Direct~~business remained open for the duration of 2020.

During 2020, we took prudent actions to manage expenses and to maintain our cash position and financial flexibility.

We ~~also have~~ adopted new operating models focused on safety. We continue to remain focused on providing a safe store environment for our customers and associates, while also delivering an engaging shopping experience. We also remain focused on the safe operations of our distribution ~~fulfillment~~ and ~~call~~fulfillment centers while maximizing our direct ~~businesses.~~business. There remains the potential for COVID-related ~~risks of closure~~closures or operating restrictions, which could materially impact our operations and financial performance in future periods.

Adjusted Financial Information from Continuing Operations

In addition to our results provided in accordance with GAAP above and throughout this Form 10-Q, provided below are non-GAAP measurements which present operating income, net income ~~(loss)~~from continuing operations and earnings ~~(loss)~~from continuing operations per share in 2021 and 2020 on an adjusted basis, which remove certain special items. We believe that these special items are not indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and nature. We use adjusted financial information as key performance measures of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Instead, we believe that the presentation of adjusted financial information provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Further, our ~~definition~~definitions of adjusted financial information may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table below reconciles the GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures.

~~(a)~~The percentage change in comparable sales represents direct and comparable store sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more. Upon re-opening, the stores are included in the calculation. Therefore, comparable sales results for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 exclude the closure period of stores that were closed for four consecutive days or more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, stores of a given brand are excluded if total selling square footage for the brand in the mall changes by 20% or more through the opening or closing of a second store. The percentage change in comparable sales is calculated on a comparable calendar period as opposed to a fiscal basis. Comparable sales attributable to our international stores are calculated on a constant currency basis.

~~The results by segment are as follows:~~

~~Bath & Body Works~~

For the second quarter of 2021, net sales increased $451 million to $1.704 billion. Net sales increased in the stores channel by $552 million, or 81%, primarily due to the COVID-19 related store closures in the second quarter of 2020. Direct net sales decreased $112 million, or 22%, primarily due to the reopening of stores this year, as compared to the prior year when stores were closed which drove an increase in sales in the direct channel.

Performance was strong throughout the quarter as we saw positive customer response to our merchandise. We experienced significant growth in fragrant body care, home fragrance and gifting. As expected, soaps and sanitizers declined versus last year’s significant growth.

~~The decrease in comparable sales was driven by a decrease in average dollar sales in the stores channel and a decline in direct traffic, given the impact from the store closures last year.~~

~~Victoria's Secret~~

For the second quarter of 2021, net sales increased $548 million to $1.614 billion. Net sales increased in U.S. and Canada stores by $673 million, or 185%, primarily due to the COVID-19 related store closures in the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by the impact of the permanent closure of 241 stores in North America in 2020. Direct net sales decreased $145 million, or 24%, primarily due to the reopening of stores this year, as compared to the prior year when stores were closed which drove an increase in sales in the direct channel.

The decrease in comparable sales was driven by a decline in direct traffic, given the impact from the store closures last year, partially offset by an increase in store traffic and average unit retail.

~~Gross Profit~~

For the second quarter of 2021, our gross profit increased $787 million to $1.498 billion, and our gross profit rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) increased to 45.2% from 30.7%, primarily driven by the following:

~~Bath & Body Works~~

For the second quarter of 2021, the gross profit increase was due to the increase in merchandise margin dollars related to the increase in net sales, partially offset by a decrease in the merchandise margin rate in the direct business as we returned to a normalized semi-annual sale in June, and higher occupancy expenses due to the increase in net sales.

The gross profit rate increase was driven by buying and occupancy leverage on higher net sales partially offset by a decrease in the merchandise margin rate, reflecting a return to a normalized semi-annual sale and higher supply chain costs due to market constraints and inflation.

~~Victoria's Secret~~

For the second quarter of 2021, the gross profit increase was due to the increase in merchandise margin dollars related to the increase in net sales and an increase in the merchandise margin rate driven by improved response to our merchandise assortments, disciplined management of inventory, as well as strong selling execution in stores and online, all of which enabled us to reduce promotional activity during the quarter. Occupancy expenses were lower, driven by store asset impairment charges of $117 million in the prior year and permanent store closures, partially offset by a $39 million gain related to the closure of our Hong Kong flagship store in the prior year.

~~Table of Contents~~

The gross profit rate increase was driven by buying and occupancy leverage on higher net sales, an increase in the merchandise margin rate reflecting a meaningful pullback in promotional activity and the store asset impairment charges in the prior year.

~~General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses~~

For the second quarter of 2021, our general, administrative and store operating expenses increased $232 million to $899 million due to an increase in store selling expenses as a result of the increase in net sales, an increase in marketing investments due to brand repositioning at Victoria's Secret and the store closures in the prior year, and costs related to legal and separation fees. These increases were partially offset by severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions totaling $81 million in the prior year and savings realized as a result of cost reductions and the impact of the permanent store closures.

~~The general, administrative and store operating expense rate decreased to 27.1% from 28.8% due to leverage on the increase in net sales.~~

~~Other Income and Expense~~

Average borrowing rate (in percentages) 7.2 % 6.8 %

~~For the second quarter of 2021, our interest expense decreased $5 million to $99 million due to lower average daily borrowings partially offset by a higher average borrowing rate.~~

~~Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes~~

For the second quarter of 2021, our effective tax rate was 25.1% compared to 17.7% in the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2021 rate was lower than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Income on share-based awards that vested in the quarter. In the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a benefit for income taxes of $11 million on a loss before income taxes of $60 million. The second quarter of 2020 rate was lower than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to losses related to certain foreign subsidiaries, which generated no tax benefit, offset by changes in tax legislation included in the CARES Act, which resulted in a $21 million tax benefit.

(a)The percentage change in comparable sales represents direct and comparable store sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more. Upon re-opening, the stores are included in the calculation.

~~Bath & Body Works~~

~~For year-to-date~~third quarter of 2021, net sales ~~increased $1.159 billion~~decreased $21 million to ~~$3.173~~$1.681 billion. Net sales increased in the stores channel by ~~$1.178~~$36 million, or 3%, primarily due to the 29 net new stores opened subsequent to the third quarter of 2020. Direct net sales decreased $77 million, or 17%, primarily due to declines in digital traffic and conversion given the impact from the store closures last year. International net sales increased by $20 million, or 37%, due to increases in partner-operated stores and websites as well as the COVID-19 related closures in the third quarter of 2020.

Performance was strong throughout the quarter as we saw good customer response to our fall seasonal and Halloween merchandise. We experienced growth in fragrant body care, home fragrance, and gifting and accessories. As expected, soaps and sanitizers declined versus last year’s significant growth.

The decrease in comparable sales was primarily driven by declines in conversion in both channels and digital traffic, partially offset by increased traffic and average unit retail in the stores channel and average order size in the digital channel. Comparable sales trends in both channels were impacted by changing consumer behaviors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross Profit

For the third quarter of 2021, our gross profit decreased $24 million to $839 million, and our gross profit rate (expressed as a percentage of net sales) decreased to 49.9% from 50.7%. Gross profit decreased due to the decrease in merchandise margin dollars related to the decline in net sales and higher supply chain and transportation costs this year, due to market constraints and inflation. The gross profit rate decreased due to the higher supply chain and transportation costs this year, partially offset by a higher average unit retail pricing.

General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses

For the third quarter of 2021, our general, administrative and store operating expenses increased $3 million to $430 million, and the rate increased to 25.6% from 25.1%. General, administrative and store operating expenses and rate increased primarily due to an increase in marketing investments.

Average borrowing rate (in percentages)	7.2		%	7.0		%

For the third quarter of 2021, our interest expense decreased $28 million to $91 million due to lower average daily borrowings partially offset by a higher average borrowing rate.

Other Loss

For third quarter of 2021, our other loss was $91 million, primarily due to an $89 million pre-tax loss associated with the early extinguishment of outstanding notes. For third quarter of 2020, our other loss was $52 million, primarily due to a $53 million pre-tax loss associated with the early extinguishment of outstanding notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2021, our effective tax rate was 22.0% compared to 26.0% in the third quarter of 2020. The third quarter of 2021 rate was lower than our combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the resolution of certain tax matters. The third quarter of 2020 rate was generally consistent with our combined federal and state statutory rate.

(a)The percentage change in comparable sales represents direct and comparable store sales. The percentage change in comparable store sales represents the change in sales at comparable stores only and excludes the change in sales from our direct channels. The change in comparable sales provides an indication of period over period growth (decline). A store is typically included in the calculation of comparable sales when it has been open 12 months or more and it has not had a change in selling square footage of 20% or more. Closed stores are excluded from the comparable sales calculation if they have been closed for four consecutive days or more. Upon re-opening, the stores are included in the calculation. Therefore, comparable sales results for 2021 and 2020 exclude the closure period of stores that were closed for four consecutive days or more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, stores are excluded if total selling square footage in the center changes by 20% or more through the opening or closing of a second store. The percentage change in comparable sales is calculated on a comparable calendar period as opposed to a fiscal basis. Comparable sales attributable to our Canadian stores are calculated on a constant currency basis.

For year-to-date 2021, net sales increased $1.138 billion to $4.854 billion. Net sales increased in the stores channel by $1.214 billion, or ~~107%~~53%, primarily due to the COVID-19 related store closures in 2020. Direct net sales decreased ~~$51~~$128 million, or 6%10%, primarily due to the reopening of stores this year, as compared to the prior year when stores were closed which drove an increase in sales in the direct channel. International net sales increased by $52 million, or 33%, due to increases in partner-operated stores and websites as well as the COVID-19 related closures in 2020.

Performance was strong throughout the period as we saw positive customer response to our merchandise. We experienced significant growth in fragrant body care, home fragrance and ~~gifting.~~gifting and accessories. As expected, soaps and sanitizers declined versus last year’s significant growth.

For year-to-date 2021, net sales increased $1.208 billion to $3.168 billion. Net sales increased in U.S. and Canada stores by $1.093 billion, or 124%, primarily due to the COVID-19 related store closures in 2020, partially offset by the impactTable of the permanent closure of 241 stores in North America in 2020. Direct net sales increased $68 million, or 7%, due to improved customer response to our merchandise assortment as well as the temporary suspension of operations for approximately one week in March 2020. Direct sales last year were positively impacted by the COVID-19 related store closures.Contents

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability. We are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. Cash generated from our operating activities provides the primary resources to support current operations, growth initiatives, seasonal funding requirements and capital expenditures. Our cash provided from operations is impacted by our net income (loss) and working capital changes. Our net income (loss) is impacted by, among other things, sales volume, seasonal sales patterns, success of new product introductions, profit margins and income taxes. Historically, sales are higher during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. Generally, our need for working capital peaks during the summer and fall months as inventory builds in anticipation of the holiday period. Our cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries were ~~$286~~$150 million as of ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021.

We believe that our available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund foreseeable requirements.

Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations

~~La Senza~~Lease Guarantees

In connection with the spin-off of Victoria's Secret & Co., we have remaining contingent obligations of approximately $280 million related to lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases, primarily related to office space, expiring at various dates through 2037. In addition, in connection with the sale of La Senza in the fourth quarter of 2018, ~~certain of our subsidiaries~~we have remaining contingent obligations of approximately ~~$30~~$27 million related to lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases expiring at various dates through 2028. These obligations include minimum rent and additional payments covering taxes, common area costs and certain other expenses and relate to leases that commenced prior to the disposition of ~~the business.~~these businesses. Our reserves related to these obligations were not significant as of October 30, 2021.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and the related interest payments, operating leases, purchase orders for merchandise inventory and other long-term obligations. These contractual obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since January 30, 2021, as discussed in “Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the issuance of the Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes, which became the obligations of Victoria's Secret & Co. concurrent with the Separation on August 2, 2021, and the repurchase of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Secured Notes. Certain of our contractual obligations may fluctuate during the normal course of business (primarily changes in our merchandise inventory-related purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our operations).

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since January 30, 2021, as discussed in “Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Obligations” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the repurchase of the 2022 Notes, 2023 Notes, 2025 Secured Notes and certain of the 2025 Notes. Additionally, contractual obligations at the end of 2020 included approximately $2.6 billion of future lease obligations and approximately $500 million of purchase obligations and other liabilities related to the Victoria's Secret business which is now classified as discontinued operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We did not adopt any new accounting standards during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021 that had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In addition, there are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies related to estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, claims and contingencies, income taxes and revenue recognition. Management bases our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

~~Table of Contents~~

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments represents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. We may use derivative financial instruments like foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest rate swap arrangements to manage exposure to market risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

~~We have operations in foreign countries which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.~~ Our Canadian dollar ~~and Chinese Yuan~~ denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all our merchandise sold in Canada ~~and Greater China~~ is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. Although we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to partially offset risks associated with our operations in Canada, these measures may not succeed in offsetting all the short-term impact of foreign currency rate movements and generally may not be effective in offsetting the long-term impact of sustained shifts in foreign currency rates.

Further, although our royalty arrangements with our international partners are denominated in U.S. dollars, the royalties we receive in U.S. dollars are calculated based on sales in the local currency. As a result, our royalties in these arrangements are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of interest-bearing instruments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents based on their original maturities. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy, which specifies permitted types of investments, specifies credit quality standards and maturity profiles and limits credit exposure to any single issuer. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal, the maintenance of liquidity and the maximization of interest income while minimizing risk. Our investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits. Given the short-term nature and quality of investments in our portfolio, we do not believe there is any material risk to principal associated with increases or decreases in interest rates.

All of our long-term debt as of ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021 has fixed interest rates. We will from time to time adjust our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap arrangements. Our exposure to interest rate changes is limited to the fair value of the debt issued, which would not have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of ~~July 31,~~October 30, 2021, we believe that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity.

_______________

(a)The estimated fair value is based on reported transaction prices. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain cash and cash equivalents ~~restricted cash~~ and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. We monitor the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom we transact and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. Our investment portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits. We also periodically review the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange ~~Act.~~Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Following the Separation, Victoria's Secret & Co. began providing us with information technology services, including the provision of certain information technology and general computer controls, under the terms of an extended transition services agreement.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in a variety of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against our Company from time to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, our current legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On May 19, 2020 and January 12, 2021, certain shareholders of ours filed derivative lawsuits in the Court of Common Pleas for Franklin County, Ohio (subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio) and the Delaware Court of Chancery, respectively, naming as defendants certain current and former directors and officers of ours and alleging, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty through asserted violations of law and failures to monitor workplace ~~conduct (the “Lawsuits”).~~conduct. In addition, we also received litigation and books-and-records demands from certain other shareholders related to the same ~~matters (together with the Lawsuits, the “Actions”).~~matters.

In July 2021, we announced the global settlement resolving the Actions. The settlement resolves all derivative claims that have been or could have been asserted in the Actions or that involve in any way the allegations referred to in the Actions and releases all such claims against us and our past and present employees, officers and directors, among others. As part of the settlement, we have agreed to implement certain management and governance measures, including the maintenance of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. Following the August 2, 2021 spin-off of Victoria’s Secret & Co., the settlement terms will apply to both us and Victoria’s Secret & Co. Each company has committed to invest $45 million over at least five years to fund the management and governance measures. The settlement is subject to approval of the United States District Court of the Southern District of Ohio.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following information supplements the risk factors described in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We wish to caution the reader that the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and those described in this report or other SEC filings could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements.

Our recently completed spin-off of the Victoria’s Secret business and related operations could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from the divestiture of such business could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

On August 2, 2021, we completed the spin-off of our Victoria’s Secret business. The spin-off poses risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business. The spin-off may impact our credit rating, dilute our earnings per share, have other adverse financial and accounting impacts and distract management. In addition, we may be required to indemnify the new Victoria’s Secret company against known and unknown contingent liabilities in connection with the spin-off of the Victoria’s Secret business. Further, we may not receive tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The resolution of these contingencies may have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. Uncertainty about the effect of the spin-off of the Victoria’s Secret business on ~~employees,~~associates, commercial partners and vendors may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause commercial partners, vendors and others that deal with us to defer or decline entering into contracts with us or seek to change existing business relationships with us. In addition, if key employees depart because of uncertainty about, or changes to, their ~~future~~ roles, our business could be harmed. The spin-off may cause disruption in our business and that disruption could result in a loss of revenue. We ~~may incur~~have incurred significant expenses ~~and challenges~~ in connection with the spin-off of the Victoria’s Secret business and may incur significant future expenses related to the spin-off, which may include expenses and challenges related to the separation of Victoria's Secret from our current information technology environment. Further, the efforts related to the separation of the information technology environment will require significant resources that could impact our ability to keep pace with ongoing advancement of information technology needs of the business.

In addition, we may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits that are expected to result from the spin-off and the anticipated benefits of the spin-off are based on a number of assumptions, some of which may prove incorrect. For example, there is risk that as a smaller ~~independent companies, the companies resulting from~~company following the spin-off ~~will be~~that is less diversified with a narrower business focus, ~~and~~we may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions as well as the risk of takeover by third parties. There may be a loss of synergies from separating the businesses that could negatively impact the balance sheet, profit margins or earnings of both businesses. Lastly, there is risk that that the combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded companies will not be equal to or greater than the value of the Company’s common stock had the spin-off not occurred.
