Carter's, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

ATLANTA, April 26, 2024 (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 first quarter fiscal 2024 results.

"We exceeded our sales and earnings objectives in the first quarter," said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to see higher and earlier than planned demand from our largest wholesale customers. We believe this demand reflects the leaner inventory positions at many retailers, and their need for our new seasonal product offerings in preparation for the warmer weather ahead.

"In our U.S. Retail business, cooler weather in many parts of the United States weighed on demand for our Spring product offerings. Though the timing of seasonal transitions varies each year, historically they have been a natural and meaningful stimulus of demand for our product offerings. With the largest months of sales and earnings contribution ahead of us, we expect that the collective benefit of our product innovation, fleet optimization, and brand marketing strategies will enable an improving trend in our sales this year.

"Our International sales in the first quarter were in line with our plan. Stronger demand in Mexico offset lower sales in Canada. Our sales in Canada were also weighed down by the late arrival of warmer weather.

"The earlier Easter and slow start to Spring shopping will impact our sales in the second quarter. We have reflected in our forecasts the performance and growth we believe is possible in the balance of the year. Those forecasts envision control of discretionary expenses, reduction of inventory, and strong cash flow which we expect will enable the continued return of capital to our shareholders.

"Carter's continues to be the best in class in young children's apparel. We have unparalleled relationships with the largest retailers of young children's apparel, including Target, Walmart, Amazon, Kohl's, and Macy's. We are also the largest specialty retailer focused exclusively on young children's apparel in North America and have the highest share of the children's apparel markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Given the strength of our multi-channel model, brand portfolio, and financial resources, we believe we are well-positioned to achieve our growth objectives this year."

Consolidated Results

First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2023

Net sales decreased $34.4 million, or 4.9%, to $661.5 million, compared to $695.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The persistent effects of inflation on families with young children and late arrival of spring weather contributed to lower demand. U.S. Retail, U.S. Wholesale, and International segment net sales declined 5.0%, 5.7%, and 2.7%, respectively. U.S. Retail comparable net sales declined 6.8%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates used for translation in the first quarter fiscal 2024, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023, had a favorable effect on consolidated net sales of approximately $2.0 million, or 0.3%.

Operating income decreased $1.3 million, or 2.3%, to $55.0 million, compared to $56.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating margin increased to 8.3%, compared to 8.1% in the prior year period, reflecting lower inbound freight and product costs, partially offset by partly offset by fixed cost deleverage on lower sales and new store expenses.

Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $2.5 million, or 4.3%, to $55.0 million, compared to $57.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating margin was comparable at 8.3%, principally due to the factors discussed above.

Net income increased $2.0 million to $38.0 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $36.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) increased $1.2 million to $38.0 million, compared to $36.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.04, compared to $0.98 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net cash used in operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $25.6 million, compared to net cash provided by operations of $42.2 million in the prior year period. The change in net cash from operating activities was primarily driven by smaller reductions in inventory balances due to the sell through of a large portion of our "pack and hold" inventory in fiscal 2023.

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

Return of Capital Activity

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company returned a total of $38.3 million to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases as described below.

Dividends: In the first quarter, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.80 per common share totaling $29.3 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 first quarter, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 108 thousand shares of its common stock for $9.0 million at an average price of $83.48 per share. Fiscal year-to-date through April 25, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 237 thousand shares for $18.8 million at an average price of $79.34 per share. As of April 25, 2024, the total remaining capacity under the Company's previously-announced repurchase authorizations was approximately $631 million.

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 above, 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 second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company expects approximately:

$560 million to $570 million in net sales ($600 million in Q2 fiscal 2023); $25 million to $30 million in adjusted operating income ($38 million in Q2 fiscal 2023); and $0.35 to $0.45 in adjusted diluted earnings per share ($0.64 in Q2 fiscal 2023).

Our forecast for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 assumes:

Continued inflationary pressure on families with young children; Slow start to Spring selling, we believe due to the late arrival of warmer weather; Improved gross margin; Comparable SG&A; Lower net interest expense and effective tax rate; and Continued return of capital.

For fiscal year 2024, the Company projects approximately:

Net sales of $2.95 billion to $3.0 billion ($2.95 billion in fiscal 2023); Comparable to mid-single-digit growth in adjusted operating income ($328 million in fiscal 2023); Low to mid-single-digit growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share ($6.19 in fiscal 2023); Operating cash flow in excess of $250 million; and Capital expenditures of $80 million.

Our forecast for fiscal year 2024 assumes:

Improved macroeconomic environment and consumer demand as the year progresses, with a return to low single-digit comparable sales growth in U.S. Retail in the second half; Continued conservative inventory commitments by some wholesale customers; Gross margin expansion; Increased SG&A, reflecting higher growth-related investments and inflation, partially offset by productivity initiatives; Lower net interest expense; Higher effective tax rate; and Continued return of capital.
