Carter’s Inc. reported preliminary fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 results showing improved sales growth. Consolidated net sales rose at a high single-digit rate in Q4 year over year, while full-year net sales increased at a low single-digit pace versus fiscal 2024.
U.S. retail posted high single-digit growth in Q4, with comparable sales up mid–single digits, driven mainly by strong e-commerce demand, alongside positive comps in physical stores. Average retail unit prices increased mid–single digits during the quarter. CEO Douglas C. Palladini said recent actions are helping stabilize the business and return it to growth despite a highly competitive holiday season.
The quarter included 14 weeks versus 13 a year ago, with the extra week contributing about
$33 million in net sales. Carter’s also appointed David B. Tichiaz as Chief Brand Officer, bringing prior leadership experience from Stance and Vans.
