MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Comparable sales increased 2.7 percent, on top of 12.7
percent growth last year.
- Comparable sales growth was driven by 1.4 percent traffic
growth and a 1.3 percent increase in average ticket.
- Category performance was led by growth in frequency
businesses including Beauty, Food and Beverage and Household
Essentials, which offset continued softness in discretionary
categories.
- The Company saw unit share gains across all five core
merchandising categories.
- Third quarter operating margin rate of 3.9 percent improved
meaningfully compared with the second quarter results, but fell far
short of expectations.
- In light of an increasingly challenging environment, the
Company lowered its topline and bottom line expectations for the
fourth quarter.
- The Company announced an enterprise initiative to simplify
and gain efficiencies across its business, representing an
estimated cumulative savings opportunity of $2 to $3 billion
over the next three years.

Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its third quarter
2022 financial results, which reflected continued sales and traffic
growth in an increasingly challenging environment.
The Company reported third quarter GAAP earnings per share (EPS)
of $1.54, down 49.3 percent from
$3.04 in 2021. Third quarter Adjusted
EPS1 of $1.54 decreased
49.1 percent compared with $3.03 in
2021. The attached tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to
GAAP measures. All earnings per share figures refer to diluted
EPS.
1Adjusted EPS,
a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes the impact of certain
discretely managed items. See the tables of this release for
additional information about the items that have been excluded from
Adjusted EPS.

"In the third quarter, our business delivered comparable sales
growth of 2.7 percent, and we saw unit share gains across all of
our core merchandise categories. This performance
demonstrates the durability of our business model which continues
to serve our guests and drive loyalty despite the challenging
economic environment," said Brian
Cornell, chairman and chief executive officer of Target
Corporation. "In the latter weeks of the quarter, sales and profit
trends softened meaningfully, with guests' shopping behavior
increasingly impacted by inflation, rising interest rates and
economic uncertainty. This resulted in a third quarter profit
performance well below our expectations.
While we're ready to deliver exceptional value for our guests
this holiday season, supported by the decisive inventory actions we
took earlier this year, the rapidly evolving consumer environment
means we're planning the balance of the year more conservatively.
We're also taking new actions to drive efficiencies now and in the
future, optimizing our operations to match the scale of our
business and drive continued growth. The strides we have made in
recent years to build a truly differentiated, guest-centered retail
offering, punctuated by a balanced, multi-category portfolio,
positions us well to navigate in any environment. Looking ahead, we
remain laser-focused on delivering the best of Target to our
guests, and continuing to invest in our long-term, profitable
growth."
Fiscal 2022 Guidance
Based on softening sales and profit trends that emerged late in
the third quarter and persisted into November, the Company believes
it is prudent to plan for a wide range of sales outcomes in the
fourth quarter, centered around a low-single digit decline in
comparable sales, consistent with those recent trends. Similarly,
the Company is now planning a wide range for its fourth quarter
operating margin rate centered around 3 percent.
Enterprise Efficiency
The Company announced today it was undertaking an
enterprise-wide effort to simplify and gain efficiencies across its
business with a focus on reducing complexities and lowering costs
while continuing to support its team. The Company believes it can
save a total of $2 to $3 billion over the next three years through this
work. These savings will support the company's investments in
driving deeper guest engagement and long-term growth while also
delivering on its profit goals. This opportunity is enabled
by the rapid growth since 2019, in which Target's total
revenue has grown approximately 40 percent. In light of this
growth, this effort is focused on fully leveraging the scale that's
been gained to best-position the Company to continue growing
efficiently over time.
Operating Results
Comparable sales grew 2.7 percent in the third quarter,
reflecting comparable store sales growth of 3.2 percent and
comparable digital sales growth of 0.3 percent. Total revenue of
$26.5 billion grew 3.4 percent
compared with last year, reflecting total sales growth of 3.3
percent and a 9.5 percent increase in other revenue. Operating
income was $1.0 billion in third
quarter 2022, down 49.2 percent from $2.0
billion in 2021, driven primarily by a decline in the
Company's gross margin rate.
Third quarter operating income margin rate was 3.9 percent
in 2022, compared with 7.8 percent in 2021. Third quarter gross
margin rate was 24.7 percent, compared with 28.0 percent in 2021.
This year's gross margin rate reflected higher markdown rates,
inventory shrink, and merchandise and freight costs, net of retail
price increases, compared with last year. Additionally, gross
margin rate was pressured by increased compensation and headcount
in our distribution centers and the costs of managing early
receipts of inventory, with a slight offset from favorable category
mix. Third quarter SG&A expense rate was 19.7 percent in
2022, compared with 18.9 percent in 2021. This reflected the impact
of cost inflation across multiple parts of the business, including
investments in hourly team member compensation, which was partially
offset by lower incentive compensation.
Interest Expense and Taxes
The Company's third quarter 2022 net interest expense was
$125 million, compared with
$105 million last year, reflecting
higher average long-term debt and commercial paper balances.
Third quarter 2022 effective income tax rate was 21.6
percent, compared with the prior year rate of 22.1 percent,
reflecting the rate impact of tax benefits on lower pre-tax
earnings compared with last year.
Capital Deployment and Return on Invested Capital
The Company paid dividends of $497
million in the third quarter, compared with $440 million last year, reflecting a 20.0 percent
increase in the dividend per share, partially offset by a decline
in average share count.
The Company did not repurchase stock in the third quarter.
As of the end of the third quarter, the Company had approximately
$9.7 billion of remaining capacity
under the repurchase program approved by Target's Board of
Directors in August 2021.
For the trailing twelve months through third quarter 2022,
after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 14.6 percent,
compared with 31.3 percent for the trailing twelve months through
third quarter 2021. The decrease in ROIC was driven primarily by
lower profitability in third quarter 2022. The tables in this
release provide additional information about the Company's ROIC
calculation.

Target will webcast its third quarter earnings conference call
at 7:00 a.m. CT today. Investors and

Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
|
|
To provide additional
transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings
per share (Adjusted EPS). This metric
excludes certain items presented below. We believe this information
is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the
results of our operations. This measure is not in accordance with,
or an alternative to, GAAP. The most comparable GAAP
measure is diluted earnings per share. Adjusted EPS should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of
our
results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may
calculate Adjusted EPS differently, limiting the
usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other
companies.

Earnings before
interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) and earnings before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe
these measures provide meaningful information about
our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by
excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and
structures, debt levels, and, for EBITDA, capital investment. These
measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to,
GAAP. The most comparable GAAP measure is net
earnings. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as a
substitution for analysis of our results as reported in accordance
with GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBIT and
EBITDA
differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for
comparisons with other companies.

We have also disclosed
after-tax ROIC, which is a ratio based on GAAP information,
with the exception of the add-back of
operating lease interest to operating income. We believe this
metric is useful in assessing the effectiveness of our capital
allocation
over time. Other companies may
calculate ROIC differently, limiting the usefulness of
the measure for comparisons with other
companies.

Represents the add-back
to operating income driven by the hypothetical interest expense we
would incur if the property
under our operating leases were owned or accounted for as finance
leases. Calculated using the discount rate for each
lease and recorded as a component of rent expense within SG&A.
Operating lease interest is added back to Operating
Income in the ROIC calculation to control for differences in
capital structure between us and our competitors.
|
(b)
|
Calculated using
the effective tax rates, which were 21.5 percent and 21.3 percent
for the trailing twelve months ended
October 29, 2022, and October 30, 2021, respectively. For
the twelve months ended October 29, 2022, and
October 30,
2021, includes tax effect of $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion,
respectively, related to EBIT, and $19 million and $18
million,
respectively, related to operating lease interest.

Other Current Liabilities and
Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities, respectively.

Average based on the
invested capital at the end of the current period and the invested
