NARRATIVE REPORT & FINANCIALS (follows this page)

Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC Narrative Report The following discussion, which presents results for the second quarter, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in Narrative are as of the date presented and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update these numbers, or to revise or update any statement being made related thereto. Second Quarter Update During second quarter of Fiscal 2024, JCPenney remained focused on serving America’s hard-working families with a heightened sense of urgency given the overall economic difficulties they face in today’s environment. Recognizing the many choices customers must make, the Company continues to provide affordable fashion and merchandise that allows customers to make fashionable choices without sacrificing quality. Traffic overall remained soft during the period, but the overall trend for store trips improved when compared to fiscal 2023. The relaunch of the JCPenney Rewards program, initiated at the end of the first quarter, continued to resonate as the Company added over 830K new rewards members and over 30K new credit customers during the period. Store Net Promoter Scores improved over four points when compared to the same period last year. A key component in serving our customer is providing strong private label options such as St. John’s Bay, Modern Bride and Thereabouts, all of which outperformed expectations during the quarter, as well as Liz Claiborne which once again outpaced last year’s results. National Brands continue to be an important part of the mix with partners like Izod, Van Heusen and Adidas exceeding expectations for the period, while partners Levi’s and Gloria Vanderbilt drove increases in women’s denim. JCP Beauty continues to expand its offering with more prestige brands being offered with expanded lines from NYX Duck Plump, Too Faced, bareMinerals, Macadamia Professional and many others. Fragrance continued to be a strong performer (up over 30%) to last year with new fragrance offerings including Carolina Herrera and Paco Rabanne as well as exclusive lines from David Beckham and Nicki Minaj. Overall, the Company’s gross profit rates improved 70 bp to 39.4% when compared to last year. Improvements in gross profit are primarily due to a change in channel mix as well as additional savings in freight and eComm related expenses. Improving inventory efficiency remained a key area of focus and as a result, inventory was down 2% to last year. Selling, general, and administrative costs increased slightly when compared to last year primarily due to a timing shift into the quarter of marketing spend versus last year that were largely offset by savings achieved in other areas of the business. Credit income declined over last year, as a direct result of lower participation income and lower gain share from the profitability of the underlying portfolio. During the quarter, the Company generated cash of $47M which included improvements in working capital offset by seasonal purchases of inventory and capital expenditures of $59M for projects aimed at driving long-term growth of the business. The Company reported EBITDA of $29M reflecting margin improvements and ongoing cost saving efforts offset by the impact of the sales declines. The Company continues to prioritize maintaining a very healthy balance sheet with significant liquidity of approximately $1.7B as of the end of the period. The Company has less than $500M of outstanding long-term debt and as of the end of the period had no outstanding borrowings on its line of credit.
