Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its third quarter
2024 financial results, reflecting comparable sales growth driven
entirely by traffic and strength in the digital channel.
The Company reported third quarter GAAP and Adjusted earnings
per share1 (EPS) of $1.85,
compared with $2.10 in 2023. 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, when applicable. See the tables of this
release for additional information.

"I'm proud of our team's efforts to navigate through a volatile
operating environment during the third quarter. We saw several
strengths across the business, including a
2.4 percent increase in traffic, nearly 11 percent growth
in the digital channel, and continued growth in beauty and
frequency categories. At the same time, we encountered some unique
challenges and cost pressures that impacted our bottom-line
performance," said Brian Cornell,
chair and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. "Looking
ahead, our team is energized and ready to deliver the unique
combination of newness and value that holiday shoppers can only
find at Target, and we remain confident in the underlying strength
and fundamentals of our business, and our ability to deliver on our
longer-term financial goals."
Guidance
For the fourth quarter, the Company expects approximately flat
comparable sales and GAAP and Adjusted EPS of $1.85 to $2.45,
translating to a full year expected GAAP and Adjusted EPS range of
$8.30 to $8.90.
Operating Results
Comparable sales increased 0.3 percent in the third quarter,
reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 1.9 percent and a
comparable digital sales increase of 10.8 percent. Total revenue of
$25.7 billion in the third quarter
was 1.1 percent higher than last year, reflecting a total sales
increase of 0.9 percent and an 11.5 percent increase in other
revenue. Third quarter operating income of $1.2 billion was 11.2 percent lower than last
year.
Third quarter operating income margin rate was 4.6 percent in
2024, compared with 5.2 percent in 2023. Third quarter gross margin
rate was 27.2 percent, compared with 27.4 percent in 2023,
reflecting higher digital fulfillment and supply chain costs due to
the cost of managing higher inventory levels, increased digital
sales volume, and new supply chain facilities coming online,
partially offset by lower book to physical inventory adjustments
and the net impact of merchandising activities as compared to the
prior year. Third quarter SG&A expense rate was 21.4
percent in 2024, compared with 20.9 percent in 2023, reflecting the
combined impact of higher costs, including higher team member pay
and benefits and higher general liability expenses, partially
offset by disciplined cost management.
Interest Expense and Taxes
The Company's third quarter 2024 net interest expense was
$105 million, compared with
$107 million last year.
Third quarter 2024 effective income tax rate was 21.7 percent,
compared with the prior year rate of 21.3 percent, reflecting lower
discrete benefits in the current year.
Capital Deployment and Return on Invested Capital
The Company paid dividends of $516
million in the third quarter, compared with $507 million last year, reflecting a 1.8 percent
increase in the dividend per share.
The Company repurchased $354
million of its shares in the third quarter, retiring 2.4
million shares of common stock at an average price of $147.43. As of the end of the quarter, the
Company had approximately $9.2 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 2024,
after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 15.9 percent,
compared with 13.9 percent for the trailing twelve months through
third quarter 2023. The increase in ROIC reflects higher operating
income, partially offset by higher average invested capital. The
tables in this release provide additional information about the
Company's ROIC calculation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide additional transparency, we disclose non-GAAP
adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). When
applicable, this metric excludes certain discretely managed items.
However, there are no adjustments in any period presented. 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, U.S. 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.

Fourth quarter and
full-year 2024 GAAP EPS may include the impact of certain discrete
items, which will be excluded in calculating Adjusted EPS. The
guidance does not currently reflect any such discrete items. In the
past, these items have included losses on the early retirement of
debt and certain other items that are discretely
managed.
|
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 Operating Income. 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.

Calculated using the
effective tax rates, which were 22.5 percent and 20.3 percent for
the trailing twelve months ended November 2, 2024, and
October 28, 2023, respectively. For the twelve months ended
November 2, 2024, and October 28, 2023, includes tax

to EBIT, and $35 million and $22 million, respectively,
related to operating lease interest.
