Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Bath & Body Works, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global leader in personal care and home fragrance. The Company sells merchandise through its retail stores in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and Canada, and through its e-commerce sites and other channels. The Company’s international business is conducted through franchise, license and wholesale partners.
Fiscal Year
The Company uses the retail calendar for reporting and its fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As a result, “first quarter of 2026” and “first quarter of 2025” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. References to “quarter” and “year” each refer to the fiscal calendar period.
Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee’s net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of all unconsolidated entities is included in Other Income, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.
Interim Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
Seasonality of Business
The Company’s operations are seasonal in nature and the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, including the holiday selling season, typically accounts for the highest Net Sales and is its most profitable quarter. Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s Canadian dollar denominated earnings are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all the Company’s merchandise sold in Canada is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate this foreign currency exposure. Amounts are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income upon sale of the hedged merchandise to the customer. These gains and losses are recognized in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated Statements of Income. All designated cash flow hedges are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of designated cash flow hedges is not significant for any period presented. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Supplier Finance Program
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program agreement with a third-party financial institution, whereby the Company’s merchandise suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early, at a discount, facilitated by the financial institution. Since implementation, merchandise suppliers have continued to join the program. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by suppliers’ participation in the arrangement and the Company provides no guarantees to any third parties under the SCF program. Amounts due under the SCF program are included in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amounts due under the SCF program were $154 million, $115 million and $52 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom it transacts and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. government obligations, U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds, commercial paper and bank deposits.
The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.
Easton Investments
The Company has land and other investments in Easton, a planned community in Columbus, Ohio, that integrates office, hotel, retail, residential and recreational space. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, certain of these investments met all of the required criteria for held for sale presentation, which requires assets to be reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The investments classified as held for sale, consisting primarily of undeveloped land, are reported at their carrying value, which was $81 million, $81 million and $97 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively, within Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company changed its plan of sale for its Easton investments, causing certain of these investments to no longer meet the held for sale criteria. As a result of this change, the Company reclassified $17 million of carrying value from Current Assets to long-term Other Assets during the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s Easton investments not presented as held for sale and reported in Other Assets were $35 million, $38 million and $24 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.
Interchange Fee Settlements
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into settlement agreements to resolve payment card interchange fee litigation. As a result of the settlements, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $88 million, net of legal fees, as a reduction of General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the first quarter of 2026 Consolidated Statement of Income.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures of disaggregated information about certain prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions. This standard is effective for annual reporting of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods in the following year, with early adoption permitted. This standard should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for software costs by removing project stages from capitalization criteria and further clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This standard is effective for annual reporting of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This standard can be applied prospectively, retrospectively or through a modified transition approach. The Company early adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2026. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events.
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was (10.1%) compared to 28.4% in the first quarter of 2025. The 2026 first quarter rate was lower than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the resolution of certain tax matters. The 2025 first quarter rate was higher than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rates primarily due to accrued interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $131 million as of January 31, 2026, of which $75 million, if recognized, would reduce the effective income tax rate. Through May 2, 2026, the Company had a net decrease to gross unrecognized tax benefits of $86 million, primarily due to the resolution of certain tax matters. The changes to the unrecognized tax benefits resulted in a $40 million benefit to the Company’s Provision for Income Taxes in the first quarter of 2026.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense. The Company had accrued $8 million and $36 million as of May 2, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties.

Repurchases of Notes
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed a make-whole call to repurchase the remaining $284 million principal amounts of its outstanding 2027 Notes. The repurchase price for these notes was $289 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $8 million, net of the write-off of unamortized discounts and issuance costs. This loss is included in Other Income, Net in the first quarter of 2026 Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Company did not repurchase any outstanding senior notes during the first quarter of 2025.
Asset-backed Revolving Credit Facility
The Company and certain of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries guarantee and pledge collateral to secure an asset-backed revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”). The ABL Facility, which allows borrowings and letters of credit in U.S. and Canadian dollars, has aggregate commitments of $750 million and an expiration date in May 2030.
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 repay the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility to
the extent of such excess. As of May 2, 2026, the Company’s borrowing base was $554 million, and it had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.
The ABL Facility supports the Company’s letter of credit program. The Company had $9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of May 2, 2026 that reduced its availability under the ABL Facility. As of May 2, 2026, the Company’s availability under the ABL Facility was $544 million.
As of May 2, 2026, 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 Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25% per annum. The interest rate on outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings was the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average 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 (i) $70 million or (ii) 10% of the maximum borrowing amount. As of May 2, 2026, the Company was not required to maintain this ratio.

Commitments and ContingenciesThe Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, insurance, regulatory and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time may include commercial, tort, intellectual property, tax, customer, employment, wage and hour, data privacy, securities, anti-corruption 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.
IEEPA Tariff Refunds
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to liquidate all non-final entries without regard to IEEPA duties. Additionally, in April 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of the new Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries tool in the Automated Commercial Environment portal, creating a process for submitting IEEPA refund claims.
As of May 2, 2026, the Company had not recognized the effect of any potential refunds as the timing and amount of any potential refunds for previously collected tariffs was uncertain and may be subject to further legal and regulatory developments. The Company will continue to monitor changes to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries that could impact its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Lease Guarantees
In connection with the spin-off of Victoria’s Secret & Co., the Company had remaining contingent obligations of $210 million as of May 2, 2026 related to lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases, primarily related to office space, expiring at various dates through 2037. 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 spin-off. The Company’s reserves related to these obligations were not significant for any period presented.
