"Coverage: this record holds exactly the periods printed in two filings. The fiscal 2025 Form 10-K (accession 0000745732-26-000006, filed March 31, 2026, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026) presents statements of earnings and cash flows for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 and balance sheets at January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025. The Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (accession 0000745732-26-000041, filed September 1, 2026) presents the three and six months ended August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, and balance sheets at August 1, 2026, January 31, 2026 and August 2, 2025. The 10-Q's January 31, 2026 balance sheet column matches the 10-K and is carried under FY2025.",
"Fiscal calendar: Ross's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and the company names each fiscal year after the calendar year in which it begins. Fiscal 2025 ran from February 2, 2025 to January 31, 2026 and fiscal 2024 from February 4, 2024 to February 1, 2025, both 52 weeks. Fiscal 2023 ended February 3, 2024 and was a 53-week year, so it includes one more week of sales and cash flow than the years either side of it. The second quarter of fiscal 2026 is the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026; fiscal 2026 is a 52-week year ending January 30, 2027.",
"Units: every statement in both filings is stated in thousands of dollars, with share counts in thousands and per-share amounts in dollars. All figures here are restated in actual dollars and actual shares.",
"The top line of Ross's statements of earnings is captioned simply \"Sales\"; it is recorded here as net_sales.",
"Gross profit is not a subtotal Ross prints. The gross_profit figure here is sales less cost of goods sold, and in every period it equals operating income plus selling, general and administrative expenses.",
"Interest income, net appears within costs and expenses on the statements of earnings as a negative amount, that is, a credit that adds to earnings. It is recorded here as a positive figure: operating income plus interest income, net equals earnings before taxes in every period.",
"Second quarter of fiscal 2026: the 10-Q (Note A) states that after the U.S. Supreme Court's February 2026 decision that tariffs imposed beginning in 2025 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were not authorized, Ross filed refund claims and recognized a benefit of approximately $253 million in cost of goods sold in the three months ended August 1, 2026, with substantially all of it received by that date. MD&A attributes about 405 basis points of the quarter's 625 basis-point decline in the cost of goods sold rate to this recovery, and approximately $0.60 of diluted earnings per share in both the second quarter and the first six months. The same section states that the year-ago second quarter and first six months included an approximately $0.11 per share negative impact from tariff-related costs. The notable_items figure is the approximate amount the filing states, not a statement line.",
"Quarterly cash flow: the 10-Q presents its statement of cash flows for the six months only, so no three-month operating cash flow, capital expenditure or free cash flow is reported for either second quarter. Six-month cash flows are in the year-to-date block.",
"Total debt is not a line the balance sheet prints. It is stated here as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt (Ross's unsecured senior notes). Operating lease liabilities are excluded and shown separately as current and non-current operating lease liabilities. Ross repaid $700 million of senior notes at maturity in April 2025 and $500 million in April 2026.",
"Total liabilities is not a line the balance sheet prints either; it is stated here as total liabilities and stockholders' equity less total stockholders' equity.",
"Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property and equipment. Cash flow lines keep the sign the filing prints, so capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends paid and debt repayments appear as negative amounts.",
"Shares outstanding are the closing common share balances in the statements of stockholders' equity (also stated in the balance sheet's common stock caption). Weighted-average basic and diluted shares come from the statements of earnings.",
"Dividends declared per share for each fiscal year are the amounts stated in the 10-K's statements of stockholders' equity ($1.62, $1.47 and $1.34). Ross declared $0.4450 per share in each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2026 and $0.4050 in each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2025, so the six-month figures of $0.89 and $0.81 are the sum of the two quarterly declarations shown in the 10-Q.",
"The trailing-twelve-month view is derived, not filed: fiscal 2025 plus the six months ended August 1, 2026 less the six months ended August 2, 2025, covering the 52 weeks from August 3, 2025 to August 1, 2026. No trailing per-share figure or share count is stated, because neither filing prints a weighted-average share count for that span.",
"Comparable store sales growth and end-of-period store counts are taken from the Results of Operations and Store Openings tables in each filing's management's discussion and analysis. Ross defines comparable stores as stores open for 14 complete months.",
"Fiscal 2023 carries no balance sheet, because the fiscal 2025 10-K presents balance sheets only at January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025.",
"Ross has one reportable segment, so no segment breakdown is carried. Its sales mix by merchandise category is disclosed only as percentages of sales."

"uncertainties": [
"The IEEPA tariff refund benefit is stated in the 10-Q only as approximately $253 million; the exact amount is not disclosed, and the six-month statement of cash flows does not show the refund as a separate line.",
"No three-month cash flow figures exist for either second quarter in the filings behind this record, so quarterly free cash flow cannot be stated."
