Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures

This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the information under “2026 Financial and Capital Allocation Outlook,” “2026 Outlook,” comments about Kohl’s adequacy of capital resources, statements regarding our 2026 areas of focus and future initiatives, and statements regarding the impact of macroeconomic events and our response to such events, including tariffs. Such statements are based on current assumptions, expectations, and beliefs and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks described more fully in Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference, and other factors as may periodically be described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements relate to the date initially made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them.

The attached press release and presentation materials contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, our leverage ratio (expressed as net debt + leases / EBITDAR), free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional insight into our operational performance and do not purport to be substitutes for, or superior to, operating income, net income, total debt and lease liabilities as reported on the balance sheet, or operating cash flow as measures of operating performance or liquidity. We believe these adjusted measures are useful, as they are more representative of our core business, enhance comparability across reporting periods and to industry peers, and align with the measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP measures should not be viewed in isolation and should be evaluated in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because companies may use different calculation methods, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of each referenced non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the presentation materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

The Company provides adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward looking guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
