CARTER’S, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

AND ANNOUNCES $100 MILLION SHARE REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION

AND $100 MILLION DEBT REPAYMENT

Atlanta, Georgia, July 29, 2010 / Business Wire -- 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 2010 results.

“Our second quarter earnings are in-line with our expectations despite lower traffic in our retail stores,” said Michael D. Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the very strong start to the year and our multi-channel distribution strategy, sales in the first half of 2010 grew 8% and adjusted earnings per share grew 47%.

“We are expecting good sales growth in the second half of this year, driven by the compelling value of our product offerings and marketing strategies, which we feel position us well for the back-to-school and holiday seasons," continued Mr. Casey. “We expect earnings in the second half, however, will be impacted by higher industry-wide supply chain costs.”

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010 compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2009

Consolidated net sales of $327.0 million were comparable with the prior year. Net sales of the Company’s Carter’s brands increased $1.2 million, or 0.5%, to $263.7 million. Net sales of the Company’s OshKosh B’gosh brand decreased $0.5 million, or 0.8%, to $63.3 million.

Consolidated retail sales increased $3.3 million, or 2.0%, to $165.6 million. Carter’s retail segment sales increased $3.5 million, or 3.1%, to $113.6 million driven by incremental sales of $8.4 million generated by new store openings and eCommerce sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of $4.6 million, or 4.3%. OshKosh retail segment sales decreased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, to $52.0 million, due to a comparable store sales decline of $2.5 million, or 4.9%, partially offset by incremental sales of $3.0 million generated by new store openings and eCommerce sales.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company opened eight Carter’s and three OshKosh retail stores. As of the end of the second quarter, the Company operated 289 Carter’s and 175 OshKosh retail stores.

Carter’s wholesale sales increased $3.2 million, or 2.9%, to $111.2 million due to strong over-the-counter performance at the Company’s wholesale customers primarily in the Company’s baby replenishment business, partially offset by lower off-price sales. OshKosh wholesale sales decreased $0.3 million, or 2.8%, to $11.4 million largely due to lower off-price sales.

The Company’s mass channel sales, which are comprised of sales of its Child of Mine brand to Walmart and Just One You (formerly Just One Year) brand to Target, decreased $5.4 million, or 12.3%, to $38.8 million. The decrease reflects lower Child of Mine brand sales due to merchandising assortment changes made by Walmart and a related reduction in floor space, partially offset by increased sales of the Company’s Just One You brand due to the addition of new programs and improved product performance.

In connection with a workforce reduction and distribution facility closure, the Company recorded pre-tax charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of approximately $2.9 million related to severance and other benefits and accelerated depreciation. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reduced the carrying value of the White House, Tennessee distribution facility by $0.7 million.

Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $33.4 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 13.8%, from $29.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Excluding the effect of the workforce reduction, distribution facility closure, and facility write-down in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, adjusted operating income increased $0.4 million, or 1.3%, to $33.4 million from $33.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, due largely to growth in earnings from the Carter’s wholesale and retail segments, partially offset by a decline in earnings from the Carter’s mass channel segment and OshKosh retail and wholesale segments.

Net income increased $2.5 million, or 14.8%, to $19.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $16.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Excluding the effect of the workforce reduction, distribution facility closure, and facility write-down in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, adjusted net income increased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $19.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $18.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

A reconciliation of income as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to income adjusted for certain items is provided at the end of this release.

First Half of Fiscal 2010 compared to First Half of Fiscal 2009

Consolidated net sales increased $52.6 million, or 7.7%, to $736.1 million. Net sales of the Company’s Carter’s brands increased $51.0 million, or 9.3%, to $596.0 million. Net sales of the Company’s OshKosh B’gosh brand increased $1.6 million, or 1.2%, to $140.1 million.

Carter’s wholesale sales increased $27.6 million, or 12.0%, to $257.5 million due to strong over-the-counter performance at the Company’s wholesale customers in all product categories, partially offset by lower off-price sales. OshKosh wholesale sales decreased $1.5 million, or 4.4%, to $33.0 million, largely due to lower off-price sales.

Consolidated retail sales increased $22.8 million, or 7.2%, to $338.8 million. Carter’s retail segment sales increased $19.7 million, or 9.3%, to $231.7 million, driven by incremental sales of $16.8 million generated by new store openings and eCommerce sales, and a comparable store sales increase of $3.5 million, or 1.7%. OshKosh retail segment sales increased $3.1 million, or 3.0%, to $107.1 million, driven by incremental sales of $4.8 million generated by new store openings and eCommerce sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decline of $0.7 million, or 0.7%. In the first half of fiscal 2010, the Company opened 13 Carter’s and five OshKosh retail stores.

The Company’s mass channel sales increased $3.7 million, or 3.5%, to $106.8 million. The increase was driven by increased sales of the Company’s Just One You brand resulting from the addition of new programs and improved product performance, partially offset by decreased sales of the Company’s Child of Mine brand attributable to merchandising assortment changes made by Walmart and a related reduction in floor space.

In the first half of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax charges in connection with the workforce reduction and distribution facility closure of approximately $11.6 million related to severance and other benefits, asset impairment, accelerated depreciation, and other closure costs. Results for the first half of fiscal 2009 also included the $0.7 million write-down in the second quarter of the carrying value of the White House, Tennessee distribution facility.

Operating income in the first half of fiscal 2010 was $104.6 million, an increase of $46.3 million, or 79.4%, from $58.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2009. Excluding the effect of the workforce reduction, distribution facility closure, asset impairment charges, and facility write-down, adjusted operating income increased $33.9 million, or 48.0%, to $104.6 million from $70.6 million in first half of fiscal 2009, driven by growth in earnings in all segments.

Net income increased $28.7 million, or 86.3%, to $61.9 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to $33.2 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2009. Excluding the effect of the workforce reduction, distribution facility closure, asset impairment charges, and facility write-down, adjusted net income increased $20.9 million, or 50.9%, to $61.9 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to $41.0 million, or $0.70 per diluted share in the first half of fiscal 2009.

A reconciliation of income as reported under GAAP to income adjusted for certain items is provided at the end of this release.

Cash flow from operations in the first half of fiscal 2010 was $15.3 million, a decrease of $13.9 million, or 47.5%, over the first half of fiscal 2009 primarily due to net changes in working capital offset by increased earnings.

$100 Million Share Repurchase Authorization

On June 15, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares (in addition to the $8.9 million available for repurchases under the Company’s repurchase authorization approved in February 2007). Neither of the current share repurchase authorizations have expiration dates. Purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the level and timing of activity being at the discretion of the Company’s management depending on market conditions, stock price, other investment priorities, and other factors.

Term Loan Prepayment

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, in addition to a regularly scheduled amortization payment of approximately $0.9 million, the Company prepaid $100 million in term loan borrowings, or approximately 30% of its outstanding debt.

2010 Outlook

The Company projects net sales for the second half to be up in the high single-digits with the fourth quarter forecasted to be stronger than the third quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the second half is currently expected to be down in the high single-digits, with diluted earnings per share in the third quarter down in the low teens and in the fourth quarter comparable to a year ago.

For the year, net sales are expected to be up in the high single-digits with diluted earnings per share up approximately 10% over 2009 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.15.

A reconciliation of income as reported under GAAP to income adjusted for certain items is provided at the end of this release.

Spring 2011 Outlook

In developing its product sourcing plans for its Spring 2011 merchandise assortments, the Company expects product costs will rise meaningfully from current levels due principally to higher commodity, labor, and transportation costs. At present, the Company projects that its consolidated gross margin rate in the first half of fiscal 2011 will decline from the level achieved in the first half of fiscal 2010.

Cautionary Language

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to the Company’s future performance, including, without limitation, statements with respect to the Company’s anticipated financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, fiscal 2010, and the first half of fiscal 2011, assessment of the Company’s performance and financial position, and drivers of the Company’s sales and earnings growth. Such statements are based on current expectations only, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include: a decrease in sales to, or the loss of one or more of, the Company’s key customers; increased competition in the baby and young children’s apparel market; the acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace; deflationary pricing pressures; the Company’s dependence on foreign supply sources; failure of foreign supply sources to meet the Company’s quality standards or regulatory requirements; negative publicity; leverage, which increases the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and could require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow to repay debt principal; an inability to access suitable financing due to the current economic environment; a continued decrease in the overall value of the United States equity markets due to the current economic environment; a continued decrease in the overall level of consumer spending; changes in consumer preference and fashion trends; seasonal fluctuations in the children’s apparel business; the impact of governmental regulations and environmental risks applicable to the Company’s business; the risk that ongoing litigation and investigations may be resolved adversely; the breach of the Company’s consumer databases; the ability of the Company to adequately forecast demand, which could create significant levels of excess inventory; the ability of the Company to identify new retail store locations, and negotiate appropriate lease terms for the retail stores; the ability to attract and retain key individuals within the organization; failure to achieve sales growth plans, cost savings, and other assumptions that support the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets; and the Company’s inability to remediate its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Many of these risks are further described in the most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.” The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
