Accounts, Notes, Loans and Financing Receivable, Classified [Abstract] |
Receivables | Receivables Receivables were $363 million at February 3, 2018, compared to $522 million at January 28, 2017. In January 2016, the Company completed a $270 million real estate transaction that will enable a re-creation of the Macy’s Brooklyn store. The Company will continue to own and operate the first four floors and lower level of its existing nine-story retail store, which will be reconfigured and remodeled. The remaining portion of the store and its nearby parking facility were sold to Tishman Speyer in a single sales transaction. The Company has received approximately $250 million of cash ($68 million in 2015, $141 million in 2016, and $41 million in 2017) from Tishman Speyer for these real estate assets and will receive $20 million of additional cash over the next year. This receivable is backed by a guarantee. In connection with the sale of most of the Company's credit card accounts and related receivable balances to Citibank, the Company and Citibank entered into a long-term marketing and servicing alliance pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated Credit Card Program Agreement. The Program Agreement expires March 31, 2025, subject to an additional renewal term of three years. The Program Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) the ownership by Citibank of the accounts purchased by Citibank, (ii) the ownership by Citibank of new accounts opened by the Company’s customers, (iii) the provision of credit by Citibank to the holders of the credit cards associated with the foregoing accounts, (iv) the servicing of the foregoing accounts, and (v) the allocation between Citibank and the Company of the economic benefits and burdens associated with the foregoing and other aspects of the alliance. Pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company continues to provide certain servicing functions related to the accounts and related receivables owned by Citibank and receives compensation from Citibank for these services. The amounts earned under the Program Agreement related to the servicing functions are deemed adequate compensation and, accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts received under the Program Agreement were $929 million for 2017, $912 million for 2016 and $1,026 million for 2015, and are treated as reductions of SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s earnings from credit operations, net of servicing and other credit related expenses, were $768 million for 2017, $736 million for 2016, and $831 million for 2015. Income from credit operations excludes costs related to new account originations and fraudulent transactions incurred on the Company’s private label credit cards.
