Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a balanced view with some positive developments in retail and international segments, inventory management, and consumer acceptance of higher prices. However, significant challenges remain due to declines in operating income, gross margin impact from tariffs, and issues in the U.S. Wholesale segment.
Company Guidance
In the third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings call, Carter's highlighted its strategy to address several financial metrics, including net sales of $758 million and an adjusted operating income of $39 million. The company reported a decrease in gross margin to 45.1%, attributed to higher product costs, including tariffs, which impacted gross margin by $20 million. Carter's outlined its strategy to mitigate these impacts through price increases and operational efficiencies, aiming for $45 million in gross savings for 2026. The company also discussed organizational restructuring costs, including a $6 million charge in Q3 and anticipated further charges. Carter's plans to close 150 stores by 2026, expecting a 20% sales transfer rate to e-commerce and remaining stores. Despite challenges, Carter's expressed confidence in achieving adjusted earnings growth in 2026, driven by pricing strategies, productivity initiatives, and increased demand creation spending.
Positive Growth in U.S. Retail and International Segments
Net sales in U.S. Retail grew by 3% in the third quarter with a positive 2% total Retail comp. International sales were up 5%, with strong performance in Mexico achieving a 16% comp.
Improvements in Inventory and Product Assortments
Entered the third quarter with less carryover of prior season goods, leading to better performance of new seasonal products. The inventory quality was high with excess inventory down meaningfully versus last year.
Consumer Acceptance of Higher Prices
Mid-single-digit increase in Average Unit Retail (AUR) prices in U.S. Retail, with an increase in average transaction values. Consumers responded well to the higher prices.
Cost Savings and Efficiency Measures
Identified $45 million in gross savings for 2026, with a plan to reduce office-based roles by 15% to save approximately $35 million.
