MINNEAPOLIS (Aug 19, 2015) - Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today reported second quarter 2015 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations1 (Adjusted EPS) of $1.22, up 20.6 percent from $1.01 in 2014. GAAP EPS from continuing operations were $1.21, compared with $0.61 in second quarter 2014. The tables attached to this press release 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 restructuring charges and the impact of certain matters not related to the Company’s single segment, such as discontinued operations, data breach expenses and certain other expenses that are discretely managed. See the “Discontinued Operations Update” and “Miscellaneous” sections of this release for additional information about the items that have been excluded from Adjusted EPS.

“We’re very pleased with our second quarter financial results, as traffic growth, strong sales in our signature categories and continued expense discipline drove better-than-expected profitability,” said Brian Cornell, chairman and CEO of Target. “While the momentum in our financial results is encouraging, we have much more to accomplish. Looking ahead, we are focused on making further progress against our strategic priorities and are committed to improving operations as we move through the important back-to-school, back-to-college and holiday seasons.”
Fiscal 2015 Earnings Guidance
In third quarter 2015, Target expects Adjusted EPS of $0.79 to $0.89 compared with $0.79 in third quarter 2014.
The Company now expects full-year 2015 Adjusted EPS of $4.60 to $4.75, compared with prior guidance of $4.50 to $4.65.
Segment Results
Second quarter 2015 sales increased 2.8 percent to $17.4 billion from $17.0 billion last year, reflecting a 2.4 percent increase in comparable sales combined with sales from new stores. Digital channel sales grew 30 percent and contributed 0.6 percentage points to comparable sales growth. Segment earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) were $1,350 million in second quarter 2015, an increase of 17.5 percent from $1,149 million in 2014.
Second quarter EBITDA and EBIT margin rates were 10.9 percent and 7.7 percent, respectively, compared with 9.9 percent and 6.8 percent in 2014. Second quarter gross margin rate was 30.9 percent, compared with 30.4 percent in 2014, reflecting the benefit of annualizing heightened promotional markdowns in second quarter 2014, and a favorable merchandise mix in second quarter 2015. Second quarter SG&A expense rate was 19.9 percent in 2015, compared with 20.5 percent in 2014, reflecting ongoing cost savings initiatives and expense timing.

Interest Expense and Taxes from Continuing Operations
The Company’s second quarter 2015 net interest expense was $148 million, compared with $433 million last year. Last year’s interest expense included a $285 million charge related to the early retirement of debt. Second quarter 2015 effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 34.6 percent, compared with 33.7 percent last year, driven primarily by the impact on the consolidated tax rate from higher pretax earnings.
Shareholder Returns
In second quarter 2015, the Company repurchased 8.2 million shares of common stock at an average price of $81.94, for a total investment of $675 million. The Company also paid dividends of $331 million during second quarter 2015, an increase of 22 percent from $272 million last year. In total, the Company returned $1,006 million to shareholders in second quarter 2015, representing more than 133 percent of net income.
Year-to-date, the company has repurchased 15.2 million shares at an average price of $81.41, for a total investment of $1.2 billion. Under the current $10 billion share repurchase program, through second quarter 2015, the Company has repurchased 65.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $67.19, for a total investment of approximately $4.4 billion.
For the trailing twelve months through second quarter 2015, after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 13.3 percent, compared with 11.3 percent for the twelve months through second quarter 2014. See the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release for additional information about the Company’s ROIC calculation.
Discontinued Operations Update
Target Canada Co. completed a court-approved real estate sales process during second quarter 2015. Consistent with expectations, after-tax losses from discontinued operations were $20 million in second quarter 2015, compared with $157 million last year. Second quarter losses from discontinued operations include an increase to the Company’s accrual for estimated probable losses, primarily guarantees of leases, and adjustments to the tax benefit from our investment loss in Canada.

Certain assets and liabilities of Target’s discontinued operations are based on estimates. The recorded assets include estimated receivables, and the remaining liabilities include accruals for estimated losses related to claims that may be asserted against Target Corporation, primarily under guarantees of certain leases. These estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, an assessment of the validity of certain claims and estimated payments by the Canada Subsidiaries. These estimates are subject to change, and the Company believes it is reasonably possible that adjustments to these amounts could be material to its results of operations in future periods. Any such adjustments would be recorded in discontinued operations.

Target Corporation will webcast its second quarter earnings conference call at 9:30 a.m. CST today. Investors and the media are invited to listen to the call at Target.com/Investors (hover over “company” then click on “events & presentations” in the “investors” column).

Miscellaneous
Statements in this release regarding third quarter and full-year 2015 earnings per share guidance and future expenses related to discontinued operations are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements speak only as of the date they are made and are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially. The most important risks and uncertainties are described in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2015.

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the Company provides Adjusted EPS for the three- and six-month periods ended Aug. 1, 2015, and Aug. 2, 2014. The Company also provides ROIC for the twelve-month periods ended Aug. 1, 2015, and Aug. 2, 2014, respectively, which is a ratio based on GAAP information, with the exception of adjustments made to capitalize operating leases. Operating leases are capitalized as part of the ROIC calculation to control for differences in capital structure between the Company and its competitors. Adjusted EPS, capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Management believes Adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s ongoing retail operations. Management believes ROIC is useful in assessing the effectiveness of its capital allocation over time. The most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted diluted EPS is diluted EPS from continuing operations. The most comparable GAAP measure for capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest is total rent expense. Adjusted EPS, capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS and ROIC differently than the Company does, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

Note: We operate as a single segment which includes all of our continuing operations, excluding net interest expense, data breach related costs and certain other expenses that are discretely managed. Our segment operations are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores, online or through mobile devices. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, segment EBIT includes the impact of the reduction of the beneficial interest asset. For comparison purposes, prior year segment EBIT has been revised.

TARGET CORPORATION
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes restructuring costs, net expenses related to the 2013 data breach and other matters presented below. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our continuing operations. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EPS differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies. Prior year amounts have been revised to present Adjusted EPS on a continuing operations basis.

Note: Amounts may not foot due to rounding. Beginning with the first quarter 2015, we no longer adjust for the reduction of the beneficial interest asset because it is no longer meaningful. For comparison purposes, prior year Adjusted EPS has been revised.
(a) Costs related to our previously announced corporate restructuring.
(b) For the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, we recorded $9 million and $12 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses, respectively, primarily for legal and other professional services. For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, we recorded $148 million and $175 million of pretax expenses, respectively. Along with legal and other professional services, the 2014 expenses included an increase to the accrual for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential Data Breach-related claims, including claims by payment card networks. We also recorded expected insurance proceeds of $38 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, respectively, for net pretax expenses of $111 million and $129 million.
(c) Expense related to converting the co-branded REDcard program to MasterCard.
We have also disclosed after-tax return on invested capital for continuing operations (ROIC), which is a ratio based on GAAP information, with the exception of adjustments made to capitalize operating leases. Operating leases are capitalized as part of the ROIC calculation to control for differences in capital structure between us and our competitors. We believe this metric provides a meaningful measure of the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time. Other companies may calculate ROIC differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

(b) See the following Reconciliation of Capitalized Operating Leases table for the adjustments to our GAAP total rent expense to obtain the hypothetical capitalization of operating leases and related operating lease interest.
(c) Calculated using the effective tax rate for continuing operations, which was 33.4% and 33.9% for the trailing twelve months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014.
(d) Calculated as eight times our trailing twelve months rent expense.
(e) Average based on the invested capital at the end of the current period and the invested capital at the end of the prior period.
Capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is total rent expense. Capitalized operating lease obligations and operating lease interest should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
