Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

Carter’s (NYSE: CRI) is showing a mixed but notable recovery in Q1 2026 versus the weaker quarters seen in 2025. Revenue and profitability improved meaningfully from the prior quarter and from the same quarter a year ago, but the company is still operating with elevated leverage, large working-capital swings, and a cash balance that has fallen sharply from recent highs.

Top-line trends: Q1 2026 revenue was $681.1 million, up from $629.8 million in Q1 2025 and above the recent weak Q2 2025 result of $585.3 million. However, it was still below the stronger Q4 2025 level of $938.1 million and Q3 2025 at $763.3 million, suggesting seasonal strength remains important and the business has not returned to its recent peak run rate.

Profitability: Q1 2026 net income came in at $14.3 million, or $0.39 per share, compared with just $0.4 million in Q2 2025 and $11.6 million in Q3 2025. That’s a clear improvement, but it is far below Q4 2025’s $64.2 million and Q4 2024’s $61.5 million, so earnings remain uneven. Gross margin also held up reasonably, with gross profit of $293.9 million on revenue of $681.1 million.

Operating leverage is still pressured. SG&A expense in Q1 2026 was $270.0 million, very close to gross profit, leaving operating income of only $28.4 million. That means Carter’s is still absorbing a heavy cost structure relative to sales, and modest revenue softness can quickly compress profits.

Cash flow improved, but only modestly. The company generated $6.4 million of operating cash flow in Q1 2026, which is better than the negative operating cash flow in Q3 2025 and the very weak Q1 2025 result, but far below the strong $258.6 million in Q4 2025. Working capital was a drag again, with changes in operating assets and liabilities reducing cash by $26.5 million.

Balance sheet snapshot: At the end of Q1 2026, Carter’s held $473.4 million in cash and equivalents, total assets of $2.48 billion, total liabilities of $1.56 billion, and common equity of $928.5 million. Long-term debt stood at $567.5 million, so the company is still leveraged, but equity remains positive and substantial.

Year-over-year balance sheet changes look constructive in some areas. Cash rose from $320.8 million in Q1 2025 to $473.4 million in Q1 2026, and total equity increased from $847.2 million to $928.5 million. However, the debt load also increased versus a year ago, and liabilities remain heavy.

  • Revenue improved to $681.1 million in Q1 2026 from $629.8 million in Q1 2025.
  • Net income recovered to $14.3 million, well above the near-breakeven Q2 2025 result.
  • Operating cash flow turned positive at $6.4 million after weaker prior-quarter performance.
  • Cash and equivalents increased to $473.4 million, giving the company a healthier liquidity cushion.
  • Total equity rose to $928.5 million from $847.2 million a year earlier.
  • Q1 remains a smaller seasonal quarter compared with Carter’s stronger holiday-driven periods.
  • Gross profit was solid at $293.9 million, but not enough to create strong operating leverage.
  • SG&A remains very high at $270.0 million, limiting operating margin.
  • Long-term debt is elevated at $567.5 million.
  • Cash fell sharply from Q4 2025, and Q1 cash flow was helped only modestly by operations.

Bottom line: Carter’s appears to be stabilizing after a choppy 2025, with Q1 2026 showing better sales, earnings, and operating cash flow than several recent quarters. Still, investors should watch the company’s debt, working-capital swings, and cost discipline closely. The key question is whether Carter’s can sustain this improvement beyond the seasonally lighter first quarter.
