Carter’s, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results
- Net sales $696 million, growth of 1%
- Diluted EPS $0.79, growth of 2%; adjusted diluted EPS comparable to second quarter 2017
- Returned $131 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in the first half of
fiscal 2018.
- Company reaffirms full year fiscal 2018 outlook: net sales growth of 3%; adjusted diluted EPS
growth of 12%
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 2018 results.
“We exceeded our sales and earnings forecasts in the second quarter,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. “Our growth was driven by our U.S. retail and international businesses. We saw a meaningful improvement in consumer demand
for our brands beginning in late April as spring-like weather arrived in more parts of the United States. Earlier than expected
wholesale demand, improved price realization and curtailed spending also contributed to better than planned performance.
“Carter’s has the broadest distribution of young children’s apparel in the United States. With the Toys “R” Us store closure
process now completed, we believe we are well-positioned to recapture a good portion of our lost sales to this historically good
customer, and will further strengthen our leading market share position.
“Given the strength of our product offerings and growth strategies, together with the benefit from the new federal tax law, we
are reaffirming our sales and earnings growth objectives for 2018.”
Consolidated Results
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2018 compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2017
Net sales increased $4.4 million, or 0.6%, to $696.2 million, principally driven by growth in the Company’s U.S. Retail and
International segments, including the contribution from the 2017 Mexico licensee acquisition. This growth was partially offset by a
net sales decline in the U.S. Wholesale segment, reflecting discontinued shipments to Toys “R” Us and Bon-Ton1. Changes
in foreign currency exchange rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017 favorably
affected consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 by $2.6 million, or 0.4%. On a constant currency basis (a
non-GAAP measure), consolidated net sales increased 0.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased $7.3 million, or 11.4%, to $57.0 million, compared to $64.3
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Operating margin decreased 110 basis points to 8.2%, compared to 9.3% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2017.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $8.6 million, or 13.1%, to $57.0 million, compared to $65.6 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Adjusted operating margin (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 130 basis points to 8.2%, compared to
9.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, which principally reflects increased investments in retail and marketing and lower
margins in the U.S. Wholesale segment due to customer mix, partially offset by sourcing efficiencies.
Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased $0.5 million, or 1.4%, to $37.3 million, or $0.79 per diluted share,
compared to $37.8 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Net income in the second quarter of
fiscal 2018 reflects a consolidated effective income tax rate of 22.8% compared to 34.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $1.3 million, or 3.4%, to $37.3 million, compared to $38.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2017. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was
$0.79, which was comparable to the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
1 Retailers which have declared bankruptcy
First Half of Fiscal 2018 compared to First Half of Fiscal 2017
Net sales increased $27.4 million, or 1.9%, to $1.5 billion, principally driven by growth in the Company’s U.S. Retail and
International segments, including contributions from the 2017 Mexico licensee and Skip Hop acquisitions, partially offset by
a net sales decline in the U.S. Wholesale segment. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the first half of fiscal 2018
compared to the first half of fiscal 2017 favorably affected consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2018 by $5.4
million, or 0.4%. On a constant currency basis (a non-GAAP measure), consolidated net sales increased 1.5% in the first half of
fiscal 2018.
Operating income in the first half of fiscal 2018 decreased $25.5 million, or 17.9%, to $117.3 million, compared to $142.8
million in the first half of fiscal 2017. 2018 first half results include $12.8 million in charges related to the bankruptcy of a
wholesale customer, Toys “R” Us, which were recorded in the first quarter. Operating margin decreased 190 basis points to 8.1%,
compared to 10.0% in the first half of fiscal 2017.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes the $12.8 million charge noted above and other unusual items in the
first half of fiscal 2018 and 2017) decreased $16.2 million, or 11.1%, to $129.7 million, compared to $145.9 million in the first
half of fiscal 2017. Adjusted operating margin (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 130 basis points to 8.9%, compared to 10.2% in the
first half of fiscal 2017, which reflects increased investments in retail and marketing and lower margins in the U.S. Wholesale
segment due to customer mix, partially offset by sourcing efficiencies.
Net income in the first half of fiscal 2018 decreased $4.7 million, or 5.5%, to $79.7 million, or $1.68 per diluted share,
compared to $84.4 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2017. Net income in the first half of fiscal
2018 reflects a consolidated effective income tax rate of 21.2% compared to 34.8% in the first half of fiscal 2017.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) increased $2.9 million, or 3.3%, to $89.2 million, compared to $86.4 million in the
first half of fiscal 2017. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) in the first half of fiscal 2018 increased 6.6%
to $1.88, compared to $1.76 in the first half of fiscal 2017.
Cash flow from operations in the first half of fiscal 2018 was $103.1 million compared to $107.3 million in the first half of
fiscal 2017. The decrease reflects lower net income and an increase in working capital.
See the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results” section of this release for additional disclosures and reconciliations
regarding non-GAAP measures. Note that there were no adjustments to GAAP results in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

First Half of Fiscal 2018 compared to First Half of Fiscal 2017

Return of Capital
In the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2018, the Company returned to shareholders a total of $84.9 million and $131.4
million, respectively, through share repurchases and cash dividends as described below.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased and retired 599,314 shares of its common stock for $63.9
million at an average price of $106.62 per share. In the first half of fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased and retired 820,627
shares of its common stock for $89.1 million at an average price of $108.57 per share. Fiscal year-to-date through July 25, 2018,
the Company has repurchased and retired a total of 934,105 shares for $101.8 million at an average price of $109.02 per share. All
shares were repurchased in open market transactions pursuant to applicable regulations for such transactions. As of July 25, 2018,
the total remaining capacity under the Company’s previously announced repurchase authorizations was approximately $483.8
million.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.45 per share totaling $21.0 million. In the first
half of fiscal 2018, the company paid cash dividends of $0.45 per share each quarter totaling $42.3 million. Future declarations of
quarterly dividends and the establishment of related record and payment dates 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.
2018 Business Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company projects net sales to be comparable to the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and
adjusted diluted earnings per share to be comparable to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.70 in the third quarter of fiscal
2017. Net sales and adjusted earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 assume a partial recovery of lost sales initially planned
to Toys “R” Us and Bon-Ton.
For fiscal 2018, the Company projects net sales to increase approximately 3% compared to fiscal 2017 and adjusted diluted
earnings per share to increase approximately 12% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.77 in fiscal 2017.
Forecasted net sales and adjusted earnings for fiscal 2018 assume: 1) the Company recaptures approximately half of the lost sales
initially planned to Toys “R” Us and Bon-Ton over the last three fiscal quarters of 2018; 2) a reduction in discretionary spending
from originally planned levels; and 3) an estimated effective tax rate of approximately 22%. This adjusted earnings forecast
excludes the unusual charge of approximately $12.8 million related to the Toys “R” Us bankruptcy and a benefit of approximately
$0.4 million related to an insurance recovery associated with unusual storm-related store closures, both of which were recorded in
the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measurements provide investors with a meaningful view of the Company’s core operating
results, and are the same measurements used by the Company's executive management to assess the Company's performance.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification No.
606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related amendments (“ASC 606”) using the full retrospective adoption method.
All periods in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 were amended to reflect these provisions, and retained earnings at January 2, 2016
(beginning of fiscal 2016) were adjusted for the cumulative effect of periods prior to fiscal 2016. The adoption of ASC 606 had no
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

|
| (a) |
|
Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related amendments (“ASC 606”)
using the full retrospective adoption method. All periods in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 were amended to reflect these
provisions, and retained earnings at January 2, 2016 (beginning of fiscal 2016) were adjusted for the cumulative effect of
periods prior to fiscal 2016. The adoption of ASC 606 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows. |
| (b) |
|
In addition to the results provided in this earnings release in accordance with GAAP,
the Company has provided adjusted, non-GAAP financial measurements that present gross margin, SG&A, operating income, net
income, and net income on a diluted share basis excluding the adjustments discussed above. The Company believes these
adjustments provide a meaningful comparison of the Company’s results and afford investors a view of what management considers
to be the Company's core performance. The adjusted, non-GAAP financial measurements included in this earnings release should
not be considered as an alternative to net income or as any other measurement of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
The adjusted, non-GAAP financial measurements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative
of the Company’s future condition or results of operations. |
| (c) |
|
Related to the Toys "R" Us bankruptcy. |
| (d) |
|
Insurance recovery associated with unusual storm-related store closures. |
| (e) |
|
Non-recurring costs related to the Skip Hop and Mexico acquisitions. SG&A and
operating income include approximately $0.3 and $0.6 million of costs incurred during the first quarter and first half of
fiscal 2017, respectively, that were not originally reported as acquisition-related costs. |
| (f) |
|
Costs associated with the Company's direct sourcing initiative, which include
severance and relocation. |
| (g) |
|
The difference between the impacts on operating income and net income represents the
income taxes related to the adjustment item (calculated using the applicable tax rate of the underlying jurisdiction). |
|
|
|
|
Note: No adjustments were made to GAAP results in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Results may
not be additive due to rounding.

| (a) |
|
Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related amendments (“ASC 606”)
using the full retrospective adoption method. All periods in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 were amended to reflect these
provisions, and retained earnings at January 2, 2016 (beginning of fiscal 2016) were adjusted for the cumulative effect of
periods prior to fiscal 2016. The adoption of ASC 606 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows. |
| (b) |
|
In addition to the results provided in this earnings release in accordance with GAAP,
the Company has provided adjusted, non-GAAP financial measurements that present SG&A, operating income, net income, and net
income on a diluted share basis excluding the adjustments discussed above. The Company believes these adjustments provide a
meaningful comparison of the Company’s results and afford investors a view of what management considers to be the Company's
core performance. The adjusted, non-GAAP financial measurements included in this earnings release should not be considered as
an alternative to net income or as any other measurement of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The adjusted, non-GAAP
financial measurements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future
condition or results of operations. |
| (c) |
|
Net costs arising from unusual storm damage and related store closures. |
| (d) |
|
Non-recurring costs related to the Skip Hop and Mexico acquisitions. |
| (e) |
|
Costs associated with the Company's direct sourcing initiative, which include
severance and relocation. |
| (f) |
|
Special employee compensation provided as a result of the significant benefit related
to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. |
| (g) |
|
Reflects the $40 million net benefit of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. |
| (h) |
|
The difference between the impacts on operating income and net income represents the
income taxes related to the adjustment item (calculated using the applicable tax rate of the underlying jurisdiction). |

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) - (f) 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.
