MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Management Discussion and Analysis section of the Nordstrom 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders.
Results of Operations:
- ----------------------
During the second quarter of 1994, sales increased 6.1% when compared
with the same quarter of 1993. For the six-month period, sales
increased 7.5% compared to the same period in 1993. Sales for
comparable stores increased 4.0% during the quarter and 5.2% for the
six-month period, with the remainder of the increase coming from new
units. The Company has continued to experience improving sales trends
in all areas of its operations; however, the Company remains cautious
with respect to sales predictions for the remainder of the year.
Cost of sales and related buying and occupancy costs decreased as a
percentage of sales for the quarter and the six-month period as compared
to the corresponding periods in 1993, due primarily to improvement in
merchandise margins, most notably for women's apparel. Buying and
occupancy costs also decreased as a percentage of sales for the quarter
and six-month period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage
of sales during the second quarter as compared to the same period in
1993, due primarily to increased sales promotion and selling costs. For
the six-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased when compared to the same period in 1993. Most expense
categories have shown improvement for the first six months. Specific
areas which decreased significantly included employee benefits and bad
debts.
For the quarter and six-month period, interest expense decreased as
a percentage of sales when compared to the corresponding periods in
1993, due to lower levels of debt. The decrease was partially offset by
an increase in short-term interest rates.
Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes increased
when compared to 1993 for both the quarter and six-month period due to
the effects of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Tax Act, which was
signed into law on August 10, 1993.

NORDSTROM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition:
- --------------------
The Company's financial condition remains strong and the Company has
continued to fund most of its operations internally. However, with its
increased spending on expansion and the start of the Company's VISA
credit card in May, the Company expects to require additional external
capital later this year.
As a result of the increase in investment in new store construction, the
Company's working capital at July 31, 1994 decreased compared to January
31, 1994.
In August, the Company opened a full-line store in Santa Anita Mall in
Arcadia, California, and an expanded store in Washington Square Mall in
Portland, Oregon. Construction is progressing as planned on new stores
scheduled to open later this year and in 1995.
