Carter's (CRI) Tops Q3 EPS by 2c, Misses on Revenue; Offers Guidance

Carter's (NYSE: CRI) reported Q3 EPS of $0.74, $0.02 better than the analyst estimate of $0.72. Revenue for the quarter came in at $758 million versus the consensus estimate of $771.17 million.

2025 Business Outlook and Tariffs

The Administration has implemented significant new tariffs on products imported into the United States from a wide range of countries. These additional tariffs have begun to add substantially to the approximately $110 million in duties on imported product paid by the Company in fiscal 2024.

The Company estimates that Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and India will collectively represent approximately 75%, and China less than 3%, of its product sourcing spend in fiscal year 2025. The Company has estimated the gross pre-tax earnings impact of additional import duties to be approximately $200 million to $250 million on an annualized basis. Over time, the Company intends to partially offset these additional costs through a combination of changes to its product assortments, cost sharing with its vendor partners, changes to the mix of its production by country, and raising prices to end consumers and its wholesale customers. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company anticipates a net adverse impact to pre-tax income of approximately $25 million to $35 million related to additional tariffs.

As announced previously, given the ongoing and significant uncertainty surrounding incremental tariffs and potential related impact on the Company’s business, the Company has suspended its fiscal 2025 guidance.
