    • Comparable sales and traffic trends improved sequentially for the second quarter in a row.

    • GAAP and Adjusted EPS1 of $2.98 was 57.6 percent higher than last year, and well-above the high end of the expected range of $1.90 to $2.60.

    Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) today announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 results, both of which benefited from an additional week of sales as compared to 2022.  The Company reported fourth-quarter GAAP and Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.98, compared with $1.89 in 2022.  GAAP and Adjusted EPS were $8.94 for full-year 2023, compared with $5.98 in GAAP EPS and $6.02 in Adjusted EPS in the prior year.  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.

    "Our team's efforts changed the momentum of our business, further improving our sales and traffic trends in the fourth quarter while driving profitability well ahead of expectations," said Brian Cornell, chairman and chief executive officer of Target Corporation.

    "Throughout the season, guests responded to newness, value, and the inspiration and ease of our in-store and digital shopping experience. Looking ahead, we'll continue to invest in the strengths and differentiators that have delivered strong financial performance over time. We'll also roll out fresh innovations, including our new Target Circle membership program, as part of our roadmap for growth aimed at meeting consumers where they are, reigniting sales, traffic and market share gains, and positioning Target for profitable growth in 2024 and beyond."

    Guidance

    For first quarter 2024, the Company expects a comparable sales decline of 3 to 5 percent.  First quarter GAAP and Adjusted EPS are both expected to range from $1.70 to $2.10.

    For the full year, the Company expects a modest increase in comparable sales in a range from flat to two percent.  GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS are both expected to range from $8.60 to $9.60.

    Operating Results

    The Company's total comparable sales declined 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter, reflecting comparable stores sales declines of 5.4 percent and a comparable digital sales decline of 0.7 percent. Total revenue of $31.9 billion grew 1.7 percent in the fourth quarter compared with 2022, driven by sales growth of 1.6 percent and a 9.8 percent increase in other revenue. Sales growth reflected an additional week in fiscal year 2023.  Operating income was $1.9 billion in fourth quarter 2023, an increase of 60.9 percent from $1.2 billion in 2022.

    Full-year sales decreased 1.7 percent to $105.8 billion from $107.6 billion last year, reflecting a 3.7 percent decrease in comparable sales partially offset by sales from non-mature stores and an additional week in 2023. Full-year total revenue of $107.4 billion decreased 1.6 percent compared with 2022, reflecting a 1.7 percent decline in sales partially offset by a 5.1 percent increase in other revenue.

    Fourth quarter operating income margin rate was 5.8 percent in 2023 compared with 3.7 percent in 2022. Fourth quarter gross margin rate was 25.6 percent, compared with 22.7 percent in 2022, reflecting lower markdowns and other inventory-related costs, lower freight costs, lower supply chain and digital fulfillment costs, and favorable category mix. Shrink costs were lower than a year ago, as continued increases in store loss rates were more than offset by the timing of inventory accruals compared with 2022.

    Full-year operating income of $5.7 billion in 2023 grew 48.3 percent from $3.8 billion last year. Full-year gross margin rate was 26.5 percent, compared with 23.6 percent in 2022, reflecting lower markdowns and other inventory-related costs, lower freight costs and lower supply chain and digital fulfillment costs partially offset by higher inventory shrink.

    Fourth quarter SG&A expense rate was 18.9 percent in 2023, compared with 18.1 percent in 2022.  Full-year SG&A expense rate was 20.1 percent in 2023, compared with 18.9 percent in 2022.  Rate increases in both periods reflect the de-leveraging impact of lower sales combined with higher costs, including continued investments in pay and benefits and inflationary pressures throughout our business partially offset by disciplined cost management.

    Interest Expense and Taxes

    The Company's fourth quarter 2023 net interest expense was $107 million, compared with $129 million last year, reflecting an increase in interest income partially offset by higher debt levels and the impact of higher floating rates on interest rate swaps. Full-year 2023 net interest expense was $502 million, compared with $478 million in 2022, driven by higher average debt levels and the impact of higher floating rates on interest rate swaps partially offset by an increase in interest income.

    Fourth quarter 2023 effective income tax rate was 22.6 percent, compared with 16.1 percent last year. The Company's full-year 2023 effective income tax rate was 21.9 percent compared with 18.7 percent in 2022.  The increases in both fourth quarter and full-year tax rates reflect higher pretax earnings and lower discrete benefits in fiscal year 2023.

    Capital Deployment and Return on Invested Capital

    The Company paid dividends of $508 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $497 million last year, reflecting a 1.9 percent increase in the dividend per share.

    The Company did not repurchase any shares in fourth quarter 2023.  As of the end of the fourth 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 fourth quarter 2023, after-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) was 16.1 percent, compared with 12.6 percent for the twelve months through fourth quarter 2022. This increase was driven primarily by higher profitability partially offset by an increase in 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 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, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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.

    (a)

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

     

    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.
