THE CHILDREN’S PLACE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER
2023 RESULTS
Reports Q3 GAAP EPS of $3.05
versus $3.26 in Q3 2022
Reports Q3 Adjusted EPS of $3.22 versus $3.33
in Q3 2022
Expects Adjusted EPS in the Range of $3.47 to
$3.67 for the Back Half of 2023
Secaucus, New Jersey – November 16, 2023 – The
Children’s Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), an omni-channel children’s specialty portfolio of brands with an industry-leading
digital-first model, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 28, 2023.
Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “Our
Q3 results exceeded our expectations on the top line. The top line beat was driven by another quarter of industry-leading digital performance,
fueled by a double digit increase in ecommerce traffic, with strong Back-to-School results in August and the success of our seasonal categories
in September and October. And, our wholesale channel, led by Amazon, delivered another outstanding quarter. Importantly, our Q3 ending
inventories were down 16%, exceeding our expectations. Our bottom-line results were negatively impacted in the third quarter by higher
than planned distribution costs driven by a combination of largely unplanned but addressable factors. First, higher fulfillment costs,
including the increased utilization of third party fulfillment services, stemming from shipping significantly more ecommerce units than
planned due to higher volumes coupled with an outsized increase in packages resulting from lower transaction size as our consumer remains
under pressure in the current environment. Second, significantly higher labor costs than planned due to the increased ecommerce demand
and a very tight labor market. Third, a delay of certain planned freight and fulfillment savings. Looking ahead, we are planning for these
increased distribution costs to continue in the fourth quarter.”
Ms. Elfers continued, “Our ecommerce sales were up low single
digits for the quarter, driven by a double digit increase in ecommerce traffic. Our ecommerce channel represented an industry-leading 57%
of our retail sales in the third quarter versus 50% last year and 37% in 2019. Our core millennial customer clearly prefers the ease and
convenience of shopping online for her kids and we are pleased with the significant progress we have made with respect to driving digital
sales and traffic, despite the difficult consumer environment.”
Ms. Elfers concluded, “While our core customer remains under
significant pressure, we were pleased with our ability to drive top-line above our expectations throughout the third quarter. Our top-line
momentum from Q3 has accelerated into Q4 as our customer is responding to our trend-right assortments and our enhanced marketing tactics.
November is off to a strong start with consolidated retail sales running up low single digits quarter to date versus last year, driven
by the continued strength of our digital business. Our accelerated digital transformation and fleet optimization strategies have positioned
us to operate the company with less resources, including less stores, less inventory, less people, and less expense, allowing us to better
service our customer on-line, where she prefers to shop, resulting in what we believe will translate into more consistent and sustainable
results over time.”
Third Quarter 2023 Results
Net sales decreased $28.9 million, or 5.7%, to $480.2 million
in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $509.1 million in the three months ended October 29, 2022. The decrease in net
sales compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the impact of the continued slowdown in consumer demand resulting from
the unprecedented inflation impacting our customer and from other domestic and geo-political concerns weighing on consumer confidence,
an increase in promotional activity across the sector, and the impact of permanent store closures. Comparable retail sales decreased 7.3%
for the quarter.
Gross profit and adjusted gross profit decreased by $14.8 million to
$162.1 million in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $176.9 million in the three months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted
gross margin deleveraged 110 basis points to 33.7% of net sales versus 34.8% in the third quarter of 2022. This decrease reflects the
largely unplanned but addressable impact of higher distribution and fulfillment expenses stemming from incremental shipping and processing
costs, partially offset by decreases in supply chain and cotton costs. The increases in distribution costs were driven by higher ecommerce
volumes than anticipated, which resulted in higher compensation expense to fulfill orders as the Company incurred significant overtime
premiums to process orders, increased wage rates to retain talent and added incentives to attract new associates. In addition, the Company
also increased the utilization of our third-party fulfillment partner which operates at higher rates. The Company also experienced an
outsized increase in the number of packages shipped due to decreases in average order size, given the significant macro pressures our
customers continue to face, and a highly promotional retail environment, which resulted in increased freight costs and deleveraging of
freight expense. Finally, the Company experienced a delay of certain planned freight and fulfillment savings as negotiations continue
in order to secure the best long-term pricing. In addition to the distribution costs, the Company’s margin rate was negatively impacted
by the growth of our wholesale business, which operates at a lower gross margin but also operates at a lower SG&A and is accretive
to our operating margin. As a reminder, we record our wholesale revenue on a net basis, recognizing revenue net of commissions, discounts,
chargebacks and cooperative advertising.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $104.8
million in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $106.6 million in the three months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted SG&A
was $102.9 million in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $105.4 million in the comparable period last year. Adjusted
SG&A deleveraged by 70 basis points to 21.4% of net sales versus the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of reductions in
store expenses, home office payroll, incentive compensation and equity compensation expense, partially offset by the deleverage of fixed
expenses resulting from the decline in net sales and higher planned marketing spend.
Operating income was $45.0 million
in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $57.8 million in the three months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted operating income
was $47.9 million in the three months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $59.1 million in the comparable period last year. The third
quarter 2023 adjusted operating income deleveraged 160 basis points to 10.0% of net sales versus the prior year’s third quarter.
Net interest expense was $7.9 million in the three months ended October
28, 2023, compared to $3.8 million in the three months ended October 29, 2022. The increase in interest expense versus the third quarter
of 2022 was driven by higher borrowings and higher average interest rates associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility
and term loan due to continued market-based rate increases.
The Company's provision for income taxes reflects a benefit of $1.5
million on a GAAP basis and $0.7 million on an adjusted basis based upon the calculation of the year-to-date effective tax rate by applying
the discrete method. The Company believes that this method more accurately reflects the estimate of interim tax than the annual effective
tax rate method due to the mix of earnings in different tax jurisdictions, and the sensitivity of small changes in ordinary income on
the annual effective tax rate.
Net income was $38.5 million, or $3.05 per diluted share, in the three
months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $42.9 million, or $3.26 per diluted share, in the three months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted
net income was $40.6 million, or $3.22 per diluted share, compared to $43.8 million, or $3.33 per diluted share, in the comparable period
last year.
Fiscal Year-To-Date 2023 Results
Net sales decreased $104.9 million, or 8.4%, to $1.147 billion in the
nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $1.252 billion in the nine months ended October 29, 2022. The decrease in net sales compared
to year-to-date 2022 was primarily due to the impact of a slowdown in consumer demand resulting from the unprecedented inflation impacting
our customer and from other domestic and geo-political concerns weighing on consumer confidence, an increase in promotional activity
across the sector, and the impact of permanent store closures. Comparable retail sales decreased 8.1% for the nine months ended October
28, 2023.
Gross profit decreased $88.0 million
to $346.4 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $434.4 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted
gross profit decreased $87.4 million to $346.4 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $433.8 million in the comparable
period last year. Adjusted gross margin deleveraged 440 basis points to 30.2% of net sales versus 34.6% in year-to-date 2022, primarily
the result of lower merchandise margins due to the accelerated liquidation of seasonal inventory, the impact of a significantly larger
wholesale business which operates at a lower gross margin rate but is accretive to operating margin, higher input and supply chain costs,
higher than planned distribution and fulfillment costs, and the deleverage of fixed expenses resulting from the decline in net sales.
Selling, general, and administrative
expenses were $329.8 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $330.5 million in the nine months ended October 29,
2022. Adjusted SG&A was $313.8 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $327.2 million in the comparable period
last year. Adjusted SG&A deleveraged 120 basis points to 27.3% of net sales versus year-to-date 2022, primarily as a result of the
deleverage of fixed expenses resulting from the decline in net sales and higher planned marketing spending, partially offset by reductions
in store expenses, home office payroll, and incentive and equity compensation expense.
Operating loss was $22.0 million in
the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to operating income of $63.3 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2022. Adjusted
operating loss was $1.6 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to adjusted operating income of $68.0 million in the
comparable period last year. Year-to-date 2023 adjusted operating margin deleveraged 550 basis points to (0.1)% of net sales versus year-to-date
2022, which was 5.4% of net sales.
Net interest expense was $21.5 million
in the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $8.1 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2022. The increase in interest
expense versus year-to-date 2022 was driven by higher borrowings and higher average interest rates associated with the Company’s
revolving credit facility and term loan due to continued market-based rate increases.
The Company's provision for income taxes reflects a benefit of $17.8
million on a GAAP basis and $12.5 million on an adjusted basis based upon the calculation of the year-to-date effective tax rate by applying
the discrete method. The Company believes that this method more accurately reflects the estimate of interim tax than the annual effective
tax rate method due to the mix of earnings in different tax jurisdictions, and the sensitivity of small changes in ordinary income on
the annual effective tax rate.
Net loss was $25.7 million, or ($2.06) per diluted share, in the nine
months ended October 28, 2023, compared to net income of $49.4 million, or $3.68 per diluted share, in the nine months ended October 29,
2022. Adjusted net loss was $10.6 million, or ($0.85) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $46.6 million, or $3.48 per
diluted share, in the comparable period last year.
Store Update
The Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with 591 stores and square
footage of 2.8 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the prior year. Consistent with the Company’s store fleet optimization initiative,
the Company permanently closed 5 stores during the third quarter of 2023 and has permanently closed 608 stores since 2013 and decreased
total square footage by 2.4 million square feet or approximately 46%. The Company is planning to close approximately 64 more stores by
the end of the fourth quarter, leaving the Company with a fleet of approximately 530 stores as we enter 2024.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of October 28, 2023, the Company had $14 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $359 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company used $10 million in operating cash
flows in the three months ended October 28, 2023.
Inventories were $462 million as of October 28, 2023, a decrease of
16% versus last year due to the combination of the accelerated liquidation of seasonal inventory, reductions in units purchased and decreases
in average unit costs, compared to $549 million in the same period last year.
Outlook
The Company is providing updated guidance for
the fourth quarter of 2023 and for the full year 2023. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company now expects:
| · | Net sales in the range of $460 million to $465 million, representing a low
single digit increase as compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. |
| · | Adjusted operating profit for the fourth quarter
is expected to be approximately 2.0% to 3.0% of net sales. |
| · | Interest expense is expected to be approximately
$6.5 million for the fourth quarter. |
| · | The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately
27%, calculated by applying the discrete method. |
| · | Adjusted net income per diluted share is estimated to be in the range of
$0.25 to $0.45 based upon an anticipated weighted average number of shares of 12.6 million. |
The Company now expects net sales for the full year 2023, to be in
the range of $1.605 billion to $1.610 billion, adjusted operating profit is estimated to be in the low single digit percentage range
of net sales and adjusted net loss per diluted share is estimated to be in the range of ($0.59) to ($0.39) based upon an anticipated weighted
average number of shares of 12.5 million.
The Company’s projections include the impact of the 53rd week in 2023, based upon its retail calendar. This week occurs during a
low volume non-peak clearance period and as a result is expected to have a very modest impact on revenues and a negative impact on operating
results.
Additional details underlying the Company’s outlook for the fourth
quarter and full year 2023 will be provided on the conference call and will also be available in the conference call transcript which
will be posted on the Company’s website. An audio archive will also be available on the Company’s website.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation
The Company’s results are reported
in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share,
adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP measures,
and are not intended to replace GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The
Company believes the expense items excluded as non-GAAP adjustments are not reflective of the performance of its core business, and that
providing this supplemental disclosure to investors will facilitate comparisons of the past and present performance of its core business.
Please refer to the “Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP” later in this press release, which sets forth the non-GAAP adjustments for the 13 week
periods and 39 week periods ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022.

The Children’s Place will host a conference
call on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its third quarter 2023 results.
The call will be broadcast live at http://investor.childrensplace.com.
An audio transcript will be available on the Company’s website approximately one hour after the conclusion of the call.
