Macy’s Inc. said it will delay its quarterly earnings report due to “significant disruptions” in its operations from the coronavirus outbreak.

The retailer expects to take a charge for the period after a sharp decline in the shares triggered goodwill impairment, Macy’s said in a regulatory filing Thursday. It didn’t specify the size of the charge.
