ATLANTA, July 24, 2014 -- Carter’s, Inc. (NYSE:CRI), the largest branded marketer in the United States of apparel exclusively for babies and young children, today reported its second quarter fiscal 2014 results.
“We exceeded our sales and earnings goals, and made good progress with our growth initiatives in the second quarter,” said Michael D.

We are very pleased with our first half performance and expect to achieve our sales and earnings objectives this year.”
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014 compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2013
Consolidated net sales increased $56.2 million, or 10.9%, to $574.1 million. Net domestic sales of the Company’s Carter’s brands increased $37.6 million, or 9.5%, to $433.7 million. Net domestic sales of the Company’s OshKosh B’gosh brand increased $11.4 million, or 16.9%, to $79.2 million. Net international sales increased $7.1 million, or 13.1%, to $61.2 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 negatively impacted consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 by $2.9 million. On a constant currency basis, consolidated net sales increased 11.4% in the second quarter.

Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $14.6 million, or 44.6%, to $47.3 million, compared to $32.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Second quarter fiscal 2014 operating income includes expenses totaling $11.5 million related to the following: the amortization of acquired tradenames; the corporate office consolidation; the exit of retail operations in Japan; and the Hogansville, Georgia distribution center closure. Second quarter fiscal 2013 operating income included expenses totaling $12.1 million related to the following: the corporate office consolidation; the amortization of acquired tradenames; and the revaluation of the Bonnie Togs contingent consideration.
Excluding the expenses noted above in both periods, adjusted operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $14.0 million, or 31.1%, to $58.8 million, compared to $44.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects sales growth and expense leverage that were partially offset by higher product costs.
Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $6.2 million, or 31.6%, to $25.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $19.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding the expenses noted above in both periods, adjusted net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $5.5 million, or 19.7%, to $33.1 million, compared to $27.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The increase was driven by incremental sales of $19.6 million generated by new retail store openings, an eCommerce sales increase of $10.3 million, and a comparable retail stores sales increase of $4.9 million. This growth was partially offset by $0.4 million in lower sales due to retail store closings.

Cash flow from operations in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 was $33.1 million compared to $69.8 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The decrease principally reflects increased working capital

requirements, to include planned inventory increases, higher product costs, and the timing of inventory purchases and payments.

Note: Results may not be additive due to rounding.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures that are not defined or prepared in accordance with U.S. 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 the footnotes (a) - (d) 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.
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.
