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 third quarter fiscal 2019 results.
“Our third quarter results include a non-cash charge to recognize the impairment of our Skip Hop tradename,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Since its acquisition in 2017, Skip Hop has achieved good growth in sales, but the carrying value of its tradename has been impaired by the loss of its largest customer, Toys “R” Us, which closed last year, lower international demand, and higher product costs driven by tariffs imposed on China imports this year. Excluding the impairment charge, we exceeded our sales and earnings growth objectives in the third quarter. Our growth was driven by our wholesale and retail businesses, and reflects good demand for our fall and holiday product offerings. With fall-like weather arriving in more parts of the United States, we believe we are on track to achieve our 31st consecutive year of sales growth.”
Consolidated Results
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019 compared to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2018
Net sales increased $19.4 million, or 2.1%, to $943.3 million, primarily driven by growth in the Company’s U.S. Wholesale and U.S. Retail segments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018 adversely affected consolidated net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 by $1.3 million, or 0.1%. On a constant currency basis (a non-GAAP measure), consolidated net sales increased 2.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased $19.7 million, or 19.0%, to $83.9 million, compared to $103.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Third quarter fiscal 2019 results include a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $30.8 million related to the write-down of the Skip Hop tradename asset recorded at the time of the acquisition of the Skip Hop business in February 2017. The reduction in the value of this intangible asset reflects lower projected sales and earnings for Skip Hop. Third quarter fiscal 2018 results include $3.5 million in charges related to changes in the Company’s business model in China. Operating margin decreased 230 basis points to 8.9%, compared to 11.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure, which excludes the unusual items noted above) increased $7.6 million, or 7.1%, to $114.7 million, compared to $107.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted operating margin (a non-GAAP measure) increased 60 basis points to 12.2%, compared to 11.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, which principally reflects improved gross margin and expense leverage.
Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased $11.5 million, or 16.0%, to $60.3 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to $71.8 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Third quarter fiscal 2019 results include a non-cash, after-tax charge of $23.7 million related to the write-down of the Skip Hop tradename described above. Third quarter fiscal 2018 results include after-tax charges of $3.5 million related to changes in the Company’s business model in China.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure, which excludes the unusual items noted above) increased $8.6 million, or 11.5%, to $83.9 million, compared to $75.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 increased 16.2% to $1.87, compared to $1.61 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
First Three Quarters of Fiscal 2019 compared to First Three Quarters of Fiscal 2018
Net sales increased $42.9 million, or 1.8%, to $2.4 billion, driven by growth in the Company’s U.S. Wholesale and U.S. Retail segments, partially offset by a net sales decline in the International segment. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2018 adversely affected consolidated net sales in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 by $6.4 million, or 0.3%. On a constant currency basis (a non-GAAP measure), consolidated net sales increased 2.1% in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019.
Operating income in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 decreased $11.7 million, or 5.3%, to $209.1 million, compared to $220.8 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. Fiscal 2019 year-to-date results include a $30.8 million charge related to the write-down of the Skip Hop tradename, expenses of $1.6 million related to organizational restructuring, a benefit of $2.1 million related to a favorable recovery in value of China-related inventories, and a $0.7 million reversal of store restructuring costs previously recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Fiscal 2018 year-to-date results include $15.9 million in net charges, principally related to the bankruptcy of a wholesale customer, Toys “R” Us, and charges related to changes in the Company’s business model in China. Operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 8.6%, compared to 9.3% in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018.
Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes the unusual items noted in the prior paragraph) increased $2.0 million, or 0.8%, to $238.7 million, compared to $236.8 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. Adjusted operating margin (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 10 basis points to 9.9%, compared to 10.0% in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018, which principally reflects changes in customer mix, higher eCommerce shipping expenses, and higher product costs, partially offset by the elimination of operating losses in China due to the transition of the Company’s business model in this market.
Net income in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 decreased $12.9 million, or 8.5%, to $138.7 million, or $3.06 per diluted share, compared to $151.5 million, or $3.20 per diluted share, in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. Fiscal 2019 year-to-date results include after-tax net charges totaling $28.3 million, comprised of $6.0 million related to early extinguishment of debt, in addition to the Skip Hop tradename impairment charge, organizational restructuring, favorable recovery in value of China-related inventories, and retail store restructuring items noted above. Fiscal 2018 year-to-date results include after-tax net charges totaling $13.0 million, principally related to the wholesale customer bankruptcy and changes in the Company’s business model in China noted above.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure which excludes the unusual items noted above) increased $2.4 million, or 1.5%, to $166.9 million, compared to $164.5 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 increased 5.7% to $3.68, compared to $3.48 in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018.
Cash flow from operations in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 was $73.4 million compared to $21.4 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018. The increase reflects favorable timing of payments by customers.
See the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results” section of this release for additional disclosures and reconciliations regarding non-GAAP measures.

2019 Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company projects net sales will increase approximately 1% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and adjusted diluted earnings per share will increase approximately 1% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.84 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
For fiscal 2019, the Company now projects net sales will increase approximately 1.5% (within the previously projected growth range of approximately 1% to 2%) compared to fiscal 2018 and adjusted diluted earnings per share will increase approximately 4% (previously projected growth range of approximately 4% to 6%) compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $6.29 in fiscal 2018. This fiscal 2019 adjusted earnings forecast excludes the following pre-tax items: 1) impairment charge of $30.8 million related to the write-down of the Skip Hop tradename asset; 2) charges totaling $7.8 million related to early extinguishment of debt; 3) expenses of $1.6 million related to organizational restructuring; 4) a benefit of $2.1 million related to a favorable recovery in value of China-related inventories, and 5) a $0.7 million reversal of store restructuring costs previously recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
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 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires substantially all of its operating leases, including retail leases, to be recorded on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and lease liability. The adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations or statements of cash flows.

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.
