ATLANTA, July 30, 2021 - 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 2021 results.
“Carter’s achieved record levels of sales and earnings in the second quarter,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to see strong demand for our brands, particularly in our stores, reflecting the benefits from store reopenings, progress with vaccinations, and easing of pandemic-related restrictions.
“Our performance meaningfully exceeded our expectations and was driven, we believe, by the strength of our product offerings, more effective marketing, leaner inventories, and improved price realization.
“Given our strong performance in the first half, we are raising our sales and earnings forecasts for the year. Our revised forecasts reflect an increase in second half spending to expedite shipments from Asia to mitigate pandemic-related delays in production.
1
“In the second half, we are also planning increased investments in eCommerce capabilities, technology, brand marketing, and employee compensation. We believe these investments, together with structural improvements we’ve made in our business over the past year, will enable us to further strengthen our market leadership position and continue to provide the best value and experience in young children’s apparel.”

Consolidated Results
The discussion of results below is presented on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis where noted.
2
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2021 compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020
Net sales increased $231.5 million, or 45.0%, to $746.4 million, reflecting strong growth in all business segments. The Company’s U.S. Retail, U.S. Wholesale, and International segments grew 34%, 53%, and 93%, respectively. Second quarter fiscal 2020 results were adversely affected by store closures in North America, particularly in the months of April and May, and reduced wholesale customer shipments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates improved consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $8.0 million.
Operating income increased $86.6 million to $107.6 million, compared to $21.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating margin improved to 14.4%, compared to 4.1% in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) increased $69.3 million to $110.4 million, compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted operating margin increased to 14.8%, compared to 8.0% in the prior year period, reflecting strong product demand, higher gross margin driven by improved price realization, and expense leverage.
Net income was $71.6 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $73.7 million, compared to $23.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.67, compared to $0.54 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
First Half of Fiscal 2021 compared to First Half of Fiscal 2020
Net sales increased $364.4 million, or 31.2%, to $1,533.8 million. U.S. Retail, U.S. Wholesale, and International segment net sales grew 31%, 28%, and 46%, respectively. First half fiscal 2020 results were adversely affected by store closures in North America, particularly during the months of March, April and May, and reduced wholesale customer shipments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates improved consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2021 by $11.2 million.
Operating income was $235.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $57.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. The Company recorded incremental inventory-related charges of $41.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2020, primarily due to disruptions related to COVID-19. Operating margin improved to 15.3%, compared to (4.9)% in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure) increased $224.2 million to $239.0 million, compared to $14.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. Adjusted operating margin increased to 15.6%, compared to 1.3% in the prior year period, reflecting strong product
3
demand, including improved price realization, the absence of COVID-related inventory provisions, and expense leverage.
Net income was $157.8 million, or $3.58 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $70.5 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2020. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $160.7 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of $11.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) was $3.64, compared to adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.26 in the first half of fiscal 2020.
Cash flow from operations in the first half of fiscal 2021 was $49.5 million compared to $237.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2020. The decline primarily reflected changes in vendor payment terms, partially offset by meaningfully higher net income.
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 2021 was $1.87 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $1.12 billion and $746 million in unused borrowing capacity on the Company’s $750 million secured revolving credit facility.
Return of Capital
In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.40 per share totaling $17.6 million. The Company’s Board of Directors will evaluate future distributions of capital, including dividends and share repurchases, based on a number of factors, including restrictions under the Company’s revolving credit facility, business conditions, the Company’s financial performance, and other considerations.
Environmental, Social, and Governance Update
Today the Company issued its 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report. This inaugural report outlines the Company’s long-term commitments and initiatives associated with each of its three CSR strategic pillars: people, product, and planet. The report may be accessed at ir.carters.com.
2021 Business Outlook
The Company’s revised outlook for fiscal year 2021 reflects stronger than expected performance in the first half, and improved second half sales and adjusted earnings compared to those contemplated in its previous guidance. Factors expected to benefit the Company’s performance in the second half of fiscal
4
2021 include its market-leading product assortments, structural changes made during the pandemic, such as improved assortment productivity, inventory management and marketing effectiveness, and the benefit of government stimulus. Marketplace risks that could adversely affect financial results in the second half of 2021 include supply chain disruptions, higher transportation costs, COVID-19 case trends, consumer traffic, international consumer demand, and pandemic-related birth count declines.
Factors forecasted to adversely affect the comparability of second half 2021 results to the prior year period include: changes in the timing of wholesale shipments, permanent retail store closures, higher transportation costs, investments in marketing, increased compensation provisions, and a 53 week fiscal year in 2020.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company projects net sales will be approximately $960 million, adjusted operating income will be approximately $110 million (compared to adjusted operating income of $119.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020), and adjusted diluted earnings per share will be approximately $1.60 (compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.96 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020). Relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2020, this outlook contemplates higher transportation costs, the absence of the release of inventory reserves in the prior year period, investments in marketing and omnichannel capabilities, and higher compensation provisions. The forecast for adjusted operating income and adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes approximately $1 million of expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with additional protective equipment and cleaning supplies, and a benefit of approximately $0.5 million related to a gain on modifications of previously-impaired leases.
For fiscal 2021 (a 52 week fiscal year), the Company projects net sales will increase approximately 15%, adjusted operating income will be approximately $475 million (compared to adjusted operating income of $279.8 million in fiscal 2020), and adjusted diluted earnings per share will increase approximately 75% (compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.16 in fiscal 2020). The forecast for adjusted operating income and adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes: 1) approximately $5 million of expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with additional protective equipment and cleaning supplies, 2) approximately $3 million of restructuring costs, and 3) a benefit of approximately $3 million related to a gain on modifications of previously-impaired leases.

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.
