Consumers may also use third-party [removed: channels or devices] [added: channels, devices, technologies, and capabilities (including artificial intelligence)] to initiate shopping searches and place orders, which could make us dependent on the capabilities and search algorithms of those third parties to reach those consumers.
Any [added: failures or] difficulties in executing our differentiation efforts could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to predict and adapt to changing consumer preferences depends on many factors, including obtaining accurate and relevant data on guest preferences, [added: successfully implementing new technologies and capabilities] emphasizing relevant merchandise categories, effectively managing our inventory levels, and implementing competitive and effective pricing and promotion strategies.
Negative incidents involving us, our workforce, or others with whom we do business could quickly erode trust and confidence and result in [added: changes in] consumer [removed: boycotts,] [added: behavior (including consumer boycotts),] workforce unrest or walkouts, government investigations, and litigation.
We have established, and may continue to establish, various goals and initiatives on these matters, including with respect to [added: sustainability and] diversity, equity, and inclusion topics.
[removed: Any] [added: Furthermore, any] failure, or perceived failure, by us to achieve [removed: these] [added: our sustainability] goals [removed: and initiatives] or to otherwise meet [removed: evolving] [added: evolving, varied,] and [removed: varied] [added: sometimes conflicting] stakeholder expectations [added: regarding the environment,] could adversely affect our reputation and [removed: result in legal and regulatory proceedings against us.][added: results of operations.]
Any of these outcomes could [removed: negatively impact] [added: adversely affect] our [added: reputation,] results of [removed: operations] [added: operations,] and financial condition.
Reputational harm can also occur indirectly through companies [added: and others] with whom we do business.
We have [added: consumer-facing] relationships with a variety of other companies, including Apple, CVS, Disney, Levi’s, Starbucks, and Ulta Beauty.
If our guests have negative experiences [removed: with] [added: with,] or view [removed: unfavorably] [added: unfavorably,] any of the companies [added: or individuals] with whom we have relationships, it could cause them to stop shopping with [removed: us.][added: us and negatively impact our results of operations.]

In addition, owned brand products generally [removed: require] [added: need] longer lead times between order placement and product delivery and require us to take ownership of those products earlier in the supply chain.
This [added: requires longer-term forecasting of consumer demand, including for categories where consumer preferences may change rapidly, and] exposes us to enhanced risks of supply chain [removed: disruptions and changing consumer preferences,] [added: disruptions,] which could adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition, sustained high rates of inventory shrink at certain stores [removed: could impact] [added: have contributed, and may continue to contribute, to] the [removed: profitability] [added: closure] of [removed: those] [added: certain] stores and [removed: result in] the impairment of long-term assets.
[removed: Investments] [added: Investment] and Infrastructure Risks

A significant disruption [removed: in] [added: to] our [removed: computing and information] [added: technology] systems and our [removed: inability] [added: failure] to adequately maintain and update those systems could adversely affect our operations and negatively affect our guests.
We [added: also] rely extensively on [removed: computing and] information systems throughout our business.
We also rely on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet to use our [added: technology] systems.
[removed: Our] [added: These] systems are subject to possible damage or interruption from many events, including power outages, telecommunications failures, [added: third-party failures,] malicious attacks, security breaches, and implementation errors.
[removed: If] [added: Any damage or disruption to] our [added: technology] systems [removed: are damaged or disrupted, we may incur substantial costs, experience data loss or theft, and be unable] [added: could severely interrupt our business operations, including our ability] to [removed: manage inventories or] process guest [removed: transactions,] [added: transactions and manage inventories,] which could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
We continually invest to maintain and update our [added: technology] systems, but implementing significant changes increases the risk of system disruption.
We have programs in place to detect, contain, and respond to [added: information security, cybersecurity, and] data [removed: security] [added: privacy] incidents.
Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our [added: information] systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, deception, [added: social engineering,] or other bad acts.
[removed: Although] [added: Furthermore, the training] we conduct [removed: regular training] as part of our information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy [removed: efforts, that training] [added: efforts] may not be [removed: completely] effective in preventing [added: or limiting] successful attacks.
Our only significant [added: information security, cybersecurity, or] data [removed: security] [added: privacy] incident was a data breach that occurred in [removed: 2013] [added: 2013, which adversely affected our reputation] and [removed: went undetected for several weeks.][added: results of operations.]
Both we and our vendors have experienced [removed: data security incidents since that] [added: additional information security, cybersecurity, and] data [removed: breach;] [added: privacy incidents;] however, to date, these other incidents have not been material to our [added: business strategy,] results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, or financial condition.]
Based on the prominence and notoriety of our prior significant data breach, additional [added: information security, cybersecurity, or] data [removed: security] [added: privacy] incidents could draw greater scrutiny.
If we, our vendors, or other third parties with whom we do business experience additional significant [added: information security, cybersecurity, or] data [removed: security] [added: privacy] incidents or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant incidents, [added: our business operations could be severely disrupted and] we could be exposed to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation.
In addition, our guests could lose confidence in our ability to protect their information, stop using our [removed: RedCards] [added: Target-branded payment cards] or loyalty programs, or stop shopping with us [removed: altogether, which could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.][added: altogether.]
The legal and regulatory environment regarding information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy is dynamic and has strict [removed: requirements] [added: requirements, including] for [removed: using] [added: the use] and [removed: treating] [added: treatment of] personal data.
Complying with current or contemplated [added: information security, cybersecurity,] data [removed: protection] [added: protection, and data processing] laws and [removed: regulations,] [added: regulations (including reporting and disclosure regimes),] or any failure to comply, could cause us to incur substantial costs, require changes to our business practices, and expose us to litigation and regulatory risks, each of which could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
Changes in our relationships with our [removed: vendors,] [added: vendors or other companies,] changes in tax or trade policy, interruptions in our operations or supply chain, and increased commodity or supply chain costs could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
We are dependent on our vendors, [removed: including] [added: independent contractors, and other third parties (including] common [removed: carriers,] [added: carriers)] to supply merchandise to our distribution centers, stores, and guests.
If our replenishment and fulfillment network does not operate properly, if a vendor fails to deliver on its commitments, or if common carriers have difficulty providing capacity to meet demands for their services like they experienced [removed: in recent years,] [added: during the COVID-19 pandemic,] we could experience merchandise out-of-stocks, delays in shipping and receiving merchandise, and increased costs, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
It may be difficult to address negative publicity across media channels, regardless of its accuracy or the reputability of its source, including as a result of fictitious media content (such as content produced by generative artificial intelligence or bad actors).
We have recently experienced negative perceptions of our business, which have adversely affected consumer behavior, and we could experience similar occurrences in the future.
Furthermore, our shareholders, guests, team members, and other stakeholders have evolving, varied, and sometimes conflicting expectations regarding many aspects of our business, including our operations, product and service offerings, and environmental, social, and governance matters.
Recently, our inability to meet some of those expectations has adversely affected our reputation, and the inability to meet all of those expectations in the future could adversely affect our reputation with some or all of our stakeholders.
Any adverse perception of Target could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition and result in legal and regulatory proceedings against us.

In addition, we have relationships with third-party companies that sell and ship items directly to guests through our digital channels.
We also have relationships with designers, celebrities, influencers, and other individuals, including for advertising campaigns and marketing programs.
Furthermore, remodels and new store projects have previously been, and may in the future be, delayed or cancelled based on changes in macroeconomic conditions, changes in expected project benefits, and other factors, which could result in the inefficient deployment of our capital and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Conversely, overestimating replenishment capacity needs, changes in macroeconomic conditions, changes in expected project benefits, and other factors have resulted, and could in the future result, in delays or cancellations of supply chain infrastructure

In addition, we have undertaken an enterprise-wide initiative to simplify and gain efficiencies across our business, with a focus on reducing complexities and lowering costs.
We cannot guarantee that we will realize all of the potential cost savings from this initiative and we may experience difficulties and delays in identifying and achieving such cost savings, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We rely extensively on technology systems throughout our business.
However, we may be unable to anticipate security incidents or implement adequate preventive measures as cyber threats continue to evolve and cyberattacks become more sophisticated and frequent, including through the introduction of viruses and malware (such as ransomware) and the use of artificial intelligence by threat actors.
Errors or malicious actions by our team members or contractors, faulty password management, and other vulnerabilities or irregularities could also overcome our security measures or those of third parties with whom we do business and result in a compromise or breach of our or their information systems.

In addition, we have consumer-facing relationships with a variety of other companies, including Apple, CVS, Disney, Levi’s, Starbucks, and Ulta Beauty.
Any termination of, or adverse change in, our relationship with any of these companies could decrease our sales, increase our costs, and negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.

It may be difficult to address negative publicity across media channels, regardless of whether it is accurate.
Conversely, overestimating replenishment capacity needs could result in inefficient deployment of capital.
However, we may be unable to anticipate security incidents or implement adequate preventive measures.
The 2013 data breach adversely affected our reputation and results of operations.
The long-term impacts of the social, economic, and financial disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the government responses to such disruptions are unknown.
In addition, the impact on our business of the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other similar public health crises, will depend on numerous factors that we cannot accurately predict.
Our Shipt subsidiary is a technology company that connects Shipt members through its online marketplace with a network of independent contractors who select, purchase, and deliver groceries and household essentials ordered from Target and other retailers.

*(a)*2023 consisted of 53 weeks compared with 52 weeks in 2022 and 2021.
This trend of decreased Discretionary category sales began in 2022.
In response, during 2022, we took actions and employed strategies to align inventories with sales trends.
These actions, as well as improvements in the supply chain, have resulted in decreased inventory in 2023 compared with 2022, as well as a reduction in costs related to managing elevated inventory levels.
In 2023, we experienced a significant decrease in freight costs due to a decline in freight rates compared to 2022.
We have also experienced lower digital fulfillment costs due to a decrease in digital sales and an increased mix of digital sales fulfilled through lower-cost same-day services.
We continue to experience higher inventory shrink, as a percentage of sales, relative to historical levels — including significantly higher shrink rates at certain stores.
We believe that this trend is pervasive across the retail industry.
Increased shrink has had, and if current trends persist will continue to have, an adverse impact on our results of operations, including impairment of our long-lived assets.

- Continued the steady stream of newness across our assortment and continued to introduce new owned and exclusive brands, including fashion forward brands Future CollectiveTM and Houston White x Target;
- Opened 23 new stores, including a new larger-footprint store with reimagined design elements and additional stores in key urban markets and on college campuses;
- Invested in our team through our updated starting wage range, expanded access to health care benefits, and our debt-free education assistance program;
- Launched Target Zero, a collection of products designed to reduce waste and make it easier to shop sustainably, and completed retrofitting our first store designed to be net zero energy, located in Vista, California.
- Comparable sales increased 2.2 percent, driven by a 2.1 percent increase in traffic.
Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we experienced strong comparable sales growth and significant volatility in our category and channel mix, which continued through 2021, along with increasing supply chain disruptions.
In addition to country of origin production delays, trucker and dockworker shortages, a broad-based surge in consumer demand, and other factors led to industry-wide U.S. port and ground transportation delays.
In response to the rising guest demand and supply chain constraints, we took various actions, including ordering merchandise earlier, securing ocean freight routes, adding incremental holding capacity near U.S. ports, and increasing use of air transport for certain merchandise.
Some of these supply chain disruptions and resulting actions resulted in increased costs.
In response to this shift in demand, we took several actions to address our inventory position and create additional flexibility in a rapidly changing environment, including increasing promotional and clearance markdowns, removing excess inventory, and cancelling purchase orders.
In addition, during the second half of 2022, port congestion, shipping container availability, and other supply chain pressures improved.
This resulted in some inventory arriving earlier than anticipated, which resulted in increased costs of managing elevated inventory levels and an increased working capital investment.
These factors, net of the impact of retail price increases taken to address merchandise and freight cost inflation, resulted in decreased profitability compared to the prior year.
◦higher merchandise and freight costs, partially offset by the benefit of retail price increases;
- supply chain pressure related to increased compensation and headcount in our distribution centers, investments in new facilities, and costs of managing excess inventory;
- favorable mix in the relative growth rates of higher and lower margin categories.
Net Other (Income) / Expense was $(48) million and $(382) million for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
2021 included the $335 million gain on the February 2021 sale of Dermstore.
The decrease reflects lower pretax earnings in the current year and the impacts of discrete tax benefits.
Our effective tax rate is generally more volatile at lower amounts of pretax income because the impact of discrete, deductible and nondeductible tax items and credits is greater.

For 2022, operating cash flows decreased as a result of lower earnings and lower accounts payable leverage, partially offset by decreased inventory investment, compared with 2021.
- decreased in-transit and late-arriving inventory as lead times improved,
- investments in our inventory position in our Frequency categories, offsetting reductions in our Discretionary categories, and
- increases in unit costs across all of our categories.
The increase also reflects the impact of inflation on these projects.
Beyond full-store remodels, we invested in optimizing front-end space in high-volume locations to increase the efficiency of our Same-Day Services, and built-out and opened approximately 250 Ulta Beauty shop-in-shops.
Supply chain projects will add replenishment capacity and modernize our network, including the use of sortation centers to enhance our last-mile delivery capabilities.
Additionally, we will continue to invest in optimizing front-end space.
In 2022, we issued $2.7 billion of debt, and we repaid $62 million of debt at maturity.

As previously disclosed in Target's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 29, 2023, on March 29, 2023, Target Corporation and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a purported federal securities law class action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.
The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 15, 2023, which alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 relating to certain prior disclosures of Target about its business model, strategy, and inventory.
The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Target common stock between November 17, 2021 and May 17, 2022.
The plaintiff seeks damages and other relief, including attorneys’ fees, based on allegations that the defendants misled investors about Target’s business model, strategy, and inventory and that such conduct affected the value of Target common stock.
Target intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
No response is required under Item 103 of Regulation S-K.

Our program and practices regarding information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy include the following:
- Audit & Risk Committee and Board of Directors updates. To inform and educate the Audit & Risk Committee in its primary oversight responsibility for information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy, management provides updates on these topics.
For example, the Chief Information Security Officer addresses information security risks and controls, cyber threats, and other program updates, and senior members of the risk team provide enterprise risk management program updates.
In addition, the Board of Directors receives updates from management regarding Target’s overall risks, which include risks related to these topics.
- Integration into enterprise risk management program. By aligning the identification, assessment, and management of risks related to information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy with our overall approach to risk oversight by the Board of Directors, its committees, and management, we have integrated these practices into our enterprise risk management program.
- Management expertise. Our Chief Information Officer leads the strategic direction and management of Target’s enterprise technology systems.
He is responsible for Target’s technology roadmap and oversees Target’s global product engineering, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data sciences, and architecture teams.
He has held a variety of leadership roles across the company and has developed significant knowledge and skills regarding enterprise technology systems, including cybersecurity.
Our Chief Information Security Officer has a strong background in technology, information security, cybersecurity, risk management, audit, and compliance and held executive roles in information security prior to joining Target.
He continues to develop his expertise in these areas and contributes to the broader cybersecurity community by serving in several board and advisory roles and promoting collaboration, best practice sharing, and talent development.
Our Chief Legal & Compliance Officer and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer have extensive experience, and have developed critical knowledge and skills, in the areas of risk oversight and compliance, including as such areas relate to cybersecurity.
- Systems and processes. We use a combination of industry-leading tools and in-house technologies to protect Target and our guests, operate a proactive threat intelligence program to identify and assess risks, including from threats associated with our use of third-party service providers, and we run a cyber fusion center to investigate and respond to threats.
Our program is based on recognized industry security standards and control frameworks, which we seek to validate through internal and independent assessments.
Our cybersecurity team regularly tests our controls through penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and attack simulation.
In addition, we have an incident response program to address potential security and privacy incidents.
As part of this incident response program, members of management are informed about and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of potential security and privacy incidents.
The program uses a coordinated escalation model to provide information to, and engage with, relevant members of management and the Board of Directors, as needed, throughout the incident response process.
- Understanding evolving threats in the industry and with our suppliers. Our cybersecurity and data privacy teams work to understand evolving threats, developing issues, and industry trends, and our vendor teams monitor and assess risks with our suppliers.
- Collaboration with organizations across different industries. We share threat intelligence and collaborate with organizations across different industries to share best practices, fight cybercrime, enhance privacy, discuss new technologies, better understand the evolving regulatory environment, and advance capabilities in these areas.
- Investment, training, and development of our cybersecurity and data privacy teams. We invest in building and developing cybersecurity talent and engineering expertise in-house rather than relying solely on third-party providers.

| *Description of the Matter* | | | At [removed: January 28, 2023,] [added: February 3, 2024,] the Corporation’s vendor income receivable totaled [removed: $526] [added: $513] million. As discussed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation receives consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, which are primarily recorded as a reduction of cost of sales when earned. The Corporation records a receivable for amounts earned but not yet received. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Corporation’s vendor income receivable process, including controls over management’s review of the [removed: significant assumptions] [added: inputs] described above. | | |

| Auditing the Corporation's calculation of vendor income receivable was especially challenging due to the inputs required in the vendor receivable model, which include, among others, forecasted vendor income collections and the time period over which the collections have been earned. As a result of the high volume of transactions processed by the Corporation and used in estimating these inputs, auditing the vendor income receivable requires extensive audit effort to address the completeness and accuracy of the information used in the receivable model. | | | | | |

| | | | *Valuation of Inventory and related Cost of Sales* | | |
| *Description of the Matter* | | | At January 28, 2023, the Corporation’s inventory was $13,499 million. As described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation accounts for the vast majority of its inventory under the retail inventory accounting method (RIM) using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. RIM is an averaging method that has been widely used in the retail industry due to its practicality. Under RIM, inventory cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the inventory retail value. | | |
| Auditing inventory requires extensive audit effort including significant involvement of more experienced audit team members, including the involvement of our information technology (IT) professionals, given the relatively higher level of automation impacting the inventory process including the involvement of multiple information systems used to capture the high volume of transactions processed by the Corporation. Further, the inventory process is supported by a number of automated and IT dependent controls that elevate the importance of the IT general controls that support the underlying information systems utilized to process transactions. | | | | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Corporation’s inventory process, including the underlying IT general controls. For example, we tested automated controls performed by the Corporation’s information systems and controls over the completeness of data transfers between information systems used in performing the Corporation’s RIM calculation. Our audit procedures included, among others, testing the processing scenarios of the automated controls by evaluating configuration settings and performing a transaction walkthrough for each scenario. | | |
| Our audit procedures also included, among others, testing the key inputs into the RIM calculation, including purchases, sales, shortage, and price changes (markdowns) by comparing the key inputs back to source information such as third-party vendor invoices, third-party inventory count information and cash receipts. We also performed analytical procedures. For example, we performed predictive markdown analytics based on inquiries held with members of the merchant organization to assess the level of price changes within each category. In addition, we tested the existence of inventories by observing physical inventory counts for a sample of stores and distribution centers. | | | | | |
| Auditing the Corporation's vendor income receivable was complex due to the estimation required in measuring the receivable. The estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as forecasted vendor income collections, and estimating the time period over which the collections have been earned, which is primarily based on historical trending and data. | | | | | |

In October 2020, we repurchased $1.77 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt before its maturity at a market value of $2.25 billion.
We recognized a loss on early retirement of $512 million, which was recorded in Net Interest Expense.
In March 2020, we issued unsecured fixed rate debt of $1.5 billion at 2.25 percent that matures in April 2025 and $1.0 billion at 2.65 percent that matures in September 2030.
No balances were outstanding under either facility at any time during 2022, 2021, or 2020.
During 2022, we entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $950 million.
The agreements have a weighted average remaining maturity of 7.6 years.
For other existing swap agreements, with a total notional amount of $1.5 billion, we pay a floating rate equal to 1-month LIBOR and receive a weighted average fixed rate of 2.6 percent.
During 2022, we were party to forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate exposure of anticipated future debt issuances.
We designated these derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges.
In September 2022, we terminated forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that hedged $700 million of the $1 billion debt issuance described in [Note 15](#if1e8c8dd4b04440880a7ed27a0542767_178).
