Carter’s, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

  • Net sales $696 million
  • Diluted EPS $0.95; adjusted diluted EPS $0.98
  • Returned $38 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends
  • Company reaffirms full year fiscal 2023 outlook1:
    • Net sales of $3.0 billion
    • Adjusted operating income of $350 million
    • Adjusted diluted EPS of $6.15

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 2023 results.

“We exceeded our first quarter sales and earnings objectives,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw higher than planned demand from some of our largest wholesale customers eager to receive our new Spring product offerings in preparation for the shift to warmer weather outfitting. Our retail and international sales were in line with our plans.

“On-time deliveries of our product offerings sourced from Asia improved to the best performance we have experienced since the pandemic began and enabled us to support earlier than planned demand.

“As expected, our first quarter sales and earnings were lower than last year. Historic inflation began to meaningfully weigh on families with young children and their demand for our brands last year.

“To mitigate the effects of lower consumer demand, we have focused on reducing discretionary spending and improving price realization, largely driven through better inventory management. As a result, earnings and cash flow from operations exceeded our expectations in the first quarter.

“Given a good start to the year, we are reaffirming our previous guidance for sales and earnings for 2023. With time, we expect inflation will decrease to more acceptable levels, the burden of lower real wages affecting families with young children will moderate, and demand for our brands will improve.

“Carter’s is the best-selling brand in young children’s apparel with unparalleled market share and distribution capabilities. We believe our multi-brand, multi-channel business model, and leading market position in essential core products will enable Carter’s to benefit from the market recovery in the years ahead.”

Consolidated Results

First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2022

Net sales decreased $85.4 million, or 10.9%, to $695.9 million, compared to $781.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Macroeconomic factors, including inflation, drove lower demand from consumers and wholesale customers. U.S. Retail comparable net sales declined 12.9%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates used for translation in the first quarter fiscal 2023, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, had an unfavorable effect on consolidated net sales of approximately $2.2 million, or 0.3%.

Operating income decreased $46.3 million, or 45.1%, to $56.4 million, compared to $102.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating margin decreased to 8.1%, compared to 13.1% in the prior year period, principally due to fixed cost deleverage on lower sales, channel mix of sales, and higher inbound freight costs, partly offset by lower air freight expenses.

Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $45.1 million, or 44.0%, to $57.5 million, compared to $102.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating margin was 8.3%, compared to 13.1% in the prior year period, principally due to the factors discussed above.

Net income decreased $31.9 million to $36.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to $67.9 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) decreased $31.1 million to $36.9 million, compared to $67.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.98, compared to $1.66 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net cash provided by operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $42.2 million, compared to net cash used in operations of $163.8 million in the prior year period. The improved operating cash flow principally reflects favorable changes in working capital, including the reduction in inventories, and lower payments of performance-based compensation, partially offset by decreased net income.

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 2023, the Company returned a total of $38.1 million to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends as described below.

  • Share repurchases: During the first quarter, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 136 thousand shares of its common stock for $9.6 million at an average price of $70.55 per share. Fiscal year-to-date through April 27, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 272 thousand shares for $19.2 million at an average price of $70.54 per share. As of April 27, 2023, the total remaining capacity under the Company’s previously-announced repurchase authorizations was approximately $730 million.
  • Dividends: In the first quarter, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.75 per common share totaling $28.5 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.

2023 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 2023, the Company expects approximately:

  • $590 million to $605 million in net sales (compared to $700.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022);
  • $30 million to $35 million in adjusted operating income (compared to $75.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022); and
  • $0.40 to $0.50 in adjusted diluted earnings per share (compared to $1.30 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022).

Our forecast for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 assumes:

  • Shift of previously planned U.S. Wholesale demand from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2023;
  • Continued inflationary pressure on consumer demand;
  • Improved gross margin, reflecting lower inventory-related costs and lower inbound freight costs;
  • Comparable SG&A;
  • Higher interest expense and tax rate; and
  • Lower shares outstanding.

For fiscal year 2023, the Company is reaffirming its prior guidance and projects approximately:

  • $3.0 billion in net sales (compared to $3,212.7 million in fiscal 2022);
  • $350 million in adjusted operating income (compared to $388.2 million in fiscal 2022);
  • $6.15 in adjusted diluted earnings per share (compared to $6.90 in fiscal 2022);
  • Operating cash flow of over $300 million; and
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $75 million.

Our forecast for fiscal year 2023 assumes:

  • Improvement in demand trend as inflation moderates;
  • Gross margin expansion, driven by lower transportation costs, improved price realization, and favorable changes in channel mix;
  • Comparable SG&A;
  • Higher interest expense and tax rate; and
  • Lower shares outstanding.

Our adjusted operating income and diluted earnings per share outlooks for fiscal year 2023 exclude a pre-tax net charge of $1.2 million related to organizational restructuring recorded in the first fiscal quarter.

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) - (c) 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.
 

Note: Results may not be additive due to rounding.
