• | Third quarter Adjusted EPS of $0.54 was above the expected range of $0.40 to $0.50. |
• | Third quarter U.S. Segment comparable sales growth of 1.2 percent was better than the expected range of flat to 1 percent. Comparable sales reflect third quarter digital sales growth of more than 30 percent. |
• | U.S. Segment transactions declined 0.4 percent, an improvement of more than 1 percentage point compared with the first half of the year. |
• | Third quarter Canadian Segment sales increased 43.8 percent from third quarter last year, moderately below expectations. |
• | Target paid dividends of $330 million in third quarter 2014, an increase of 21.4 percent from $271 million last year. |
• | Pre-tax early debt retirement losses, recognized in interest expense, of $285 million, or (27) cents per share; |
• | Year-to-date net pre-tax data breach expenses of $140 million, or (14) cents per share2; |
• | Pre-tax impairment losses of $31 million, or (3) cents per share; |
• | Pre-tax expense of $13 million, or (1) cent per share, related to Target’s decision to convert existing co-branded cards to MasterCard chip-enabled cards in 2015, and; |
• | A (5)-cent per share impact related to the expected reduction of the beneficial interest asset2, partially offset by; |
• | A benefit of 5 cents per share from the favorable resolution of various income tax matters. |
1Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s ongoing retail operations, such as data breach expenses, losses associated with the early retirement of debt, the reduction in the beneficial interest asset and impairment losses. |
2See the “Accounting Considerations” section of this release for additional information about expenses related to the data breach and the beneficial interest asset. |
