Insights

Carter's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture with some positive developments amid challenging market conditions. Net sales declined by 6% year-over-year to $564 million, reflecting ongoing consumer pressures. However, the company managed to improve its operating margin to 7.0% from 6.3% in Q2 2023 and diluted EPS increased to $0.76 from $0.64.

The improved profitability despite lower sales is noteworthy. Carter's achieved a record gross profit margin, attributed to strong product offerings and lower inbound freight and product costs. This efficiency in cost management is important in the current inflationary environment.

The company's financial position remains robust, with over $1 billion in liquidity and no seasonal borrowings. Carter's commitment to shareholder returns is evident, with $54 million distributed through dividends and share repurchases in Q2 alone.

However, the revised full-year outlook suggests caution. The projected net sales of $2.785 billion to $2.825 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.60 to $5.05 indicate that Carter's anticipates continued challenges in the market.

Investors should closely monitor Carter's ability to navigate the inflationary environment and its success in implementing growth strategies focused on product elevation, customer relationships and multi-channel presence. The company's performance in the mass channel retail segment could be a key differentiator in the coming quarters.

Carter's Q2 results reflect broader market trends affecting the children's apparel sector. The company's performance was impacted by several key factors:

  • Delayed onset of warmer weather and an earlier Easter holiday affected early quarter sales
  • Changing consumer behavior, with a preference for one-stop shopping at mass retailers
  • Reduced discretionary spending among families due to persistent inflationary pressures
  • Declining consumer confidence, which has fallen for five consecutive months

The company's strategy to focus on mass channel retailers is prudent, given the current consumer preference for convenience and value. Carter's position as the largest supplier of young children's apparel to these retailers provides a competitive advantage in this challenging environment.

However, the decline in U.S. Retail segment sales due to fewer visits and lower conversion rates is concerning. Carter's increased investment in brand marketing to improve traffic trends will be important to monitor in the coming quarters.

The international segment's weakness, particularly in Canada, suggests that the challenges are not to the U.S. market. This global perspective is important for investors to consider when evaluating Carter's long-term growth prospects.

As Carter's navigates this inflationary period, its focus on elevating product offerings, deepening customer relationships and leveraging multi-channel presence could position the company for growth when market conditions improve. However, the success of these strategies will depend on their execution and the pace of economic recovery.

  • Net sales $564 million vs. $600 million in Q2 2023
  • Operating margin 7.0% vs. 6.3% in Q2 2023
  • Diluted EPS $0.76 vs. $0.64 in Q2 2023
  • Distributed $54 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in Q2 2024; $92 million returned in the first half of fiscal 2024
  • Full year fiscal 2024 outlook1:
    • Net sales of $2.785 billion to $2.825 billion
    • Adjusted operating income of $240 million to $260 million
    • Adjusted diluted EPS of $4.60 to $5.05

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carter’s, Inc. (NYSE:CRI), the largest branded marketer in North America of apparel exclusively for babies and young children, today reported its second quarter fiscal 2024 results.

“We achieved our second quarter sales and earnings objectives,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“The quarter got off to a slow start in April with the earlier Easter holiday and late arrival of warmer weather. Sales trends improved in the months that followed. Despite a highly promotional market, we achieved a record gross profit margin which reflects the strength of our product offerings, and lower inbound freight and product costs.

“Cash flow through June trended better than planned. We ended the quarter with a higher cash balance, no seasonal borrowings, lower net interest costs, and over $1 billion in liquidity. For the first half this year, earnings per share grew 13% on 5% lower sales.

“In the second quarter, we saw a good response to our new Summer product offerings, including our Americana-themed collections. Our best-selling products included our new Little Planet and PurelySoft collections with elevated styling and fabrications. Sales of our baby and toddler product offerings were comparable to last year; playwear sales were lower, which we believe reflects the slow start to Spring shopping earlier in the quarter.

“We saw earlier and higher demand in our U.S. Wholesale segment. During this inflationary cycle, we are benefiting from consumers choosing the ease of one-stop shopping with mass channel retailers, where they can purchase groceries, diapers, baby formula and children’s apparel at one location. Carter’s has an unparalleled competitive advantage as the largest supplier of young children’s apparel to these retailers.

“Sales in our U.S. Retail segment were lower due to fewer visits and lower conversion rates. We have increased our brand marketing investments to improve traffic trends in the balance of the year. Sales in our International segment were also lower, largely due to weaker market conditions in Canada.

“Earlier this year, our forecasts envisioned a return to growth beginning in the second half this year. When the year began, inflation was moderating, gas prices were trending lower, and there was a possibility of one or more reductions in interest rates this year.

“Market conditions were unexpectedly weaker in the second quarter. The consumer confidence index peaked in March this year and has declined every month through July to its lowest level in eight months. To date, inflation has not moderated to the extent previously expected, the costs of living remain elevated, and the likelihood of a reduction in interest rates this year is now less certain.

“Our consolidated sales have been under pressure since inflation ramped up to historic levels in 2022 because we believe those we serve, families raising young children, have been under financial pressure and have reduced their discretionary spending where possible. Carter’s is working its way through a historic and challenging inflationary period. We plan to use this down cycle to strengthen our leading market position as the best-selling national brand in young children’s apparel.

“Our growth strategies are focused on the fundamentals. We plan to:

  • elevate the style and value of our product offerings;
  • deepen our customer relationships through new marketing capabilities; and
  • leverage our unparalleled multi-channel market presence to extend the reach of our brands.

“With the strength of our high-margin business model and cash flow generation, we have the resources to invest in our growth strategies, which we expect will better position us to return to growth when market conditions improve. Given the current macro environment, we have risk adjusted our forecasts for the year to reflect the performance we now believe is possible.”

Consolidated Results

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023

Net sales decreased $35.8 million, or 6.0%, to $564.4 million, compared to $600.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Macroeconomic factors, including inflation, elevated interest rates, higher consumer debt levels, and declining consumer confidence negatively affected demand in the quarter. U.S. Wholesale segment net sales increased 3.2% while U.S. Retail and International segment net sales declined 10.3% and 9.6%, respectively. U.S. Retail comparable net sales declined 11.7%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, had an unfavorable effect on consolidated net sales of approximately $0.4 million, or 0.1%.

Operating income increased $1.9 million, or 5.0% to $39.5 million, compared to $37.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating margin increased to 7.0%, compared to 6.3% in the prior year, reflecting lower inbound freight and product costs and lower performance-based compensation provisions, partially offset by fixed cost deleverage on lower sales and store investments.

Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) increased $1.5 million, or 4.0% to $39.5 million, compared to $37.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating margin increased to 7.0%, compared to 6.3% in the prior year period, principally due to the factors discussed above.

Net income was $27.6 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $23.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $27.6 million, compared to $24.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.76, compared to $0.64 in the prior-year quarter.

First Half of Fiscal 2024 compared to First Half of Fiscal 2023

Net sales decreased $70.2 million, or 5.4%, to $1.23 billion, compared to $1.30 billion in the first half of 2023. Macroeconomic factors, as noted in the above discussion of second quarter results, contributed to lower demand. U.S. Retail, U.S. Wholesale, and International segment net sales declined 7.6%, 2.1%, and 6.1%, respectively. U.S. Retail comparable net sales declined 9.2%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the first half of fiscal 2024, as compared to the first half of fiscal 2023, had a favorable effect on consolidated net sales of approximately $1.6 million, or 0.1%.

Operating income increased $0.6 million, or 0.6% to $94.5 million, compared to $93.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2023. Operating margin increased to 7.7%, compared to 7.2% in the prior year period, reflecting lower inbound freight and product costs and lower performance-based compensation provisions, partially offset by fixed cost deleverage on lower sales and store investments.

Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $1.0 million, or 1.0% to $94.5 million, compared to $95.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating margin increased to 7.7%, compared to 7.4% in the prior year period, principally due to the factors discussed above.

Net income was $65.7 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, compared to $59.9 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $65.7 million, compared to $61.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.80, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.62 in the first half of fiscal 2023.

Net cash provided by operations in the first half of fiscal 2024 was $91.7 million, compared to $209.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2023. The change in net cash from operating activities was primarily driven by a significant reduction in inventory in fiscal 2023.

See the “Business Segment Results” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results” sections of this release for additional disclosures regarding business segment performance and non-GAAP measures.

Liquidity and Financial Position

The Company’s total liquidity at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $1.2 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $317 million and $844 million in unused borrowing capacity on the Company’s $850 million secured revolving credit facility.

Return of Capital

In the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, the Company returned to shareholders a total of $54.0 million and $92.3 million, respectively, through cash dividends and share repurchases as described below.

  • Dividends: In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.80 per common share totaling $29.2 million. In the first half of fiscal 2024, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $58.5 million. Future payments of quarterly dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including the Company’s future financial performance and other considerations.
  • Share repurchases: During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 0.4 million shares of its common stock for $24.8 million at an average price of $69.98 per share. In the first half of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 0.5 million shares of its common stock for $33.8 million at an average price of $73.13 per share. Fiscal year-to-date through July 25, 2024, the Company has repurchased and retired approximately 0.7 million shares for $45.6 million at an average price of $69.79 per share. All shares were repurchased in open market transactions pursuant to applicable regulations for such transactions. As of July 25, 2024, the total remaining capacity under the Company’s previously announced repurchase authorizations was approximately $604 million.

OshKosh B’Gosh Pension Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company announced the offering of a single-sum payment option to certain participants in the frozen OshKosh B’Gosh, Inc. Pension Plan (the “pension plan”), which commenced on June 1, 2024 and closed on July 15, 2024. Payments to electing participants are expected to be made in August 2024, after which the pension plan will have no further obligations to these participants. The Company expects to recognize related non-cash charges of approximately $1 million to $2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with payments to these participants. The actual amount of such charges will depend on the number of participants who receive payments and various actuarial assumptions.

Additionally, the Board of Directors authorized the termination of the pension plan, with an anticipated effective date of November 30, 2024. The Company expects to make a contribution to fully fund the plan for termination, followed by the purchase of annuity contracts to transfer its remaining liabilities under the pension plan, in the second half of fiscal 2025. The contribution amount will depend upon the nature and timing of participant settlements and prevailing market conditions. The Company expects to recognize non-cash charges upon settlement of the pension plan’s obligations in the second half of fiscal 2025. The Company has the right to change the effective date of the termination date or revoke the decision to terminate, but it has no current intent to do so.

2024 Business Outlook

We do not reconcile forward-looking adjusted operating income or adjusted diluted earnings per share to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because we cannot predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain components of such reconciliations that are not within our control due to factors described below, or others that may arise, without unreasonable effort. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of future operating income or diluted EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP metrics to adjusted operating income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, respectively.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company projects approximately:

  • $735 million to $755 million in net sales ($792 million in Q3 fiscal 2023);
  • $60 million to $70 million in adjusted operating income ($96 million in Q3 fiscal 2023); and
  • $1.10 to $1.35 in adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding an estimated non-cash pension plan settlement charge of $1 million to $2 million ($1.84 in Q3 fiscal 2023).

Our projections for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 assume (comparisons vs. prior year unless otherwise noted):

  • continued macroeconomic pressure on consumer demand;
  • lower gross profit margin;
  • increased SG&A;
  • lower net interest expense and effective tax rate; and
  • continued return of capital.

For fiscal year 2024, the Company projects approximately:

  • $2.785 billion to $2.825 billion in net sales ($2.95 billion in fiscal 2023);
  • $240 million to $260 million in adjusted operating income ($328 million in fiscal 2023);
  • $4.60 to $5.05 in adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding an estimated non-cash pension plan settlement charge of $1 million to $2 million ($6.19 in fiscal 2023);
  • Operating cash flow in excess of $200 million; and
  • Capital expenditures of $75 million.

Our projections for fiscal year 2024 assume (comparisons vs. prior year unless otherwise noted):

  • continued macroeconomic pressure on consumer demand;
  • comparable gross profit margin;
  • increased SG&A, reflecting higher growth-related investments and inflation, partially offset by productivity initiatives;
  • lower net interest expense;
  • lower effective tax rate; and
  • continued return of capital.

To improve our performance in the balance of the year, our projections include:

  • lower prices to drive traffic;
  • increased investments in brand marketing to improve customer acquisition; and
  • continued store fleet optimization, including opening high-margin stores, closing low-margin stores, and converting stores to more productive formats.

Leadership Team

The Company has recruited two new leaders to help strengthen its performance:

  • Allison Peterson has joined the Company as Executive Vice President, Chief Retail & Digital Officer, reporting to Mr. Casey. Prior to joining Carter’s, Ms. Peterson spent nearly 19 years at Best Buy Co., Inc., where she served most recently as Executive Vice President, Chief Customer Officer from May 2020 to September 2023, with responsibilities for strategy, customer experience and insights, marketing, and loyalty programs. Her leadership positions at Best Buy included Senior Vice President, Chief Customer & Marketing Officer and President, E-Commerce. Prior to Best Buy, Ms. Peterson spent eight years at Target Corporation in merchandising and planning positions of increasing responsibility.
  • Raghu Sagi has joined the Company as Executive Vice President, Chief Information & Technology Officer, reporting to Mr. Casey. Prior to joining Carter’s, Mr. Sagi served as the Chief Information Officer of Inspire Brands, Inc. from April 2019 to January 2024. Prior to that, Mr. Sagi served in various roles at Sephora USA, Inc. between November 2011 to March 2019, including Senior Vice President and Chief Engineering Officer responsible for the technology platforms supporting retail stores, eCommerce, and marketing.

Ms. Peterson and Mr. Sagi have extensive eCommerce experience which we believe will help strengthen that very profitable component of our business.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures that are not defined or prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items described in footnotes (a) - (b) to the table above.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These measures also afford investors a view of what management considers to be the Company's core performance.

The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income or cash flows from operations has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us for working capital, debt service and other purposes.

The Company evaluates its net sales on both an “as reported” and a “constant currency” basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that occurred between the comparative periods. Constant currency net sales results are calculated by translating current period net sales in local currency to the U.S. dollar amount by using the currency conversion rate for the prior comparative period. The Company consistently applies this approach to net sales for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The Company believes that the presentation of net sales on a constant currency basis provides useful supplemental information regarding changes in our net sales that were not due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and such information is consistent with how the Company assesses changes in its net sales between comparative periods.
