Carter's sees profitability decline while sales rise 3.7% in Q2 2025
North American children's apparel company Carter's has reported a 3.7% rise in net sales to $585.3m for the second quarter (Q2) of fiscal 2025, up from $564.4m during the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to sales gains in the international and US retail segments, which climbed 14.1% and 3.2% respectively. The US wholesale segment's net sales remained stable compared to the previous year, with US retail comparable net sales growing 2.2%. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted consolidated net sales by $3.1m or 0.5%. Carter's chief executive officer and president Douglas Palladini stated: 'Our second quarter sales performance showed stabilisation and momentum, particularly in our direct-to-consumer businesses, which achieved comparable sales growth in the US, Canada and Mexico. We are encouraged by improving business trends, particularly in US retail, where store traffic, purchase conversion and demand for our core baby apparel products all demonstrated momentum in the second quarter.' Operating income saw a significant drop of $35.4m, plummeting 89.7% to $4m from the $39.5m reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating margin fell sharply to 0.7% from the previous year's figure of 7%, due to investments in pricing strategies, store renovations and openings, costs associated with operational improvements and leadership changes, and higher provision for performance-based compensation. Net income stood at $0.4m or $0.01 per diluted share, a stark contrast to the $27.6m or $0.76 per diluted share recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Palladini added: 'I am disappointed, however, in our decline in profitability in the quarter, affected in part by selective investments in pricing, new stores and more normalised levels of performance-based compensation. We've also begun to see some impact from higher tariffs imposed on product imported into the United States. Returning Carter's to long-term, sustainable and profitable growth is our highest imperative and we believe we are making informed and thoughtful investments to accomplish this objective". Carter's is monitoring potential new tariffs proposed by the US government that could significantly impact imports, adding considerably to the $110m in duties on imported products paid by the company in fiscal 2024. It estimates that additional import duties could affect gross pre-tax earnings by between $125m and $150m annually under a scenario with baseline tariffs set at varying rates for different countries: 30% for China, 20% for Vietnam, 19% for Indonesia and 10% for other countries. Carter's plans to mitigate these extra costs through product assortment adjustments, cost-sharing with vendors, shifting production between countries and increasing prices for end consumers and wholesale clients. It estimates a net additional tariff impact of $35m on pre-tax earnings for the second half of fiscal 2025. The extent of these additional costs and Carter's ability to offset them will largely depend on the final tariff decisions made by US authorities. Due to uncertainties surrounding new tariff proposals and their potential effects on operations — as well as recent changes in company leadership — Carter's has decided to suspend its financial guidance for the fiscal year 2025 until further notice.

Enterprise AI Meets RAG: A New Era Of Context-Aware Intelligence
Daniel Fallmann is founder and CEO of Mindbreeze, a leader in enterprise search, applied artificial intelligence and knowledge management. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve at breakneck speed, enterprise leaders face a crucial shift in how they think about AI. The conversation is no longer dominated by which organization has the largest or most sophisticated model. Instead, the focus has turned toward something far more meaningful: which company has a model grounded in operational viability, responsible deployment and real-world impact? For a growing number of companies, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is representing this fundamental shift in how AI can work within the context of real business environments in a multitude of ways. However, as with any new technology, this approach is not without challenges. At its core, RAG bridges the gap between powerful large language models (LLMs) and trustworthy, business-specific data by generating natural text based on comprehensive documentation retrieval. While LLMs are excellent at generating human-like responses, they often lack the context required to make those responses useful—or even accurate—in a corporate setting. RAG helps to overcome this by combining generative AI with real-time retrieval of information from a company's own knowledge base. This fusion ensures the AI can deliver responses that are not just fluent but grounded in truth, relevance and compliance, unlocking benefits for employees across the enterprise. When used right, RAG helps to make generative AI both useful and safe for business. Across industries like manufacturing, healthcare, finance and more, organizations are looking for AI solutions that can support decision-making without introducing new risks. Hallucinations, lack of data lineage and general-purpose models that ignore organizational nuance are no longer acceptable. Especially in industries where errors in answers lead to costly mistakes or breaches in legality, these answers must be grounded in truth and can't be left to chance. Enterprise leaders need to ensure they are enhancing clarity while upholding internal and regulatory standards. They need systems that are auditable, transparent and tailored to their specific domain. As RAG gains traction for this purpose—acting as a control layer that filters and aligns AI output with enterprise context, structured data and up-to-date knowledge—a strategic approach is paramount for success. While RAG holds enormous promise, implementing it within a complex enterprise environment is rarely straightforward. Without proper planning and oversight, businesses can run into a number of challenges. One of the most common challenges I've encountered is the disconnect between AI capabilities and business expectations. Leaders often assume RAG will deliver immediate, perfectly contextualized insights. But, without foundational preparation, that's rarely the case. RAG readiness takes time and dedicated effort from the organization as a whole, which is why I emphasize full-company buy in. Data readiness is another major barrier. Internal knowledge repositories are often fragmented, inconsistently structured or outdated. If the source data lacks integrity, no amount of model sophistication will produce reliable results. Success with RAG starts with understanding which data is trustworthy and ensuring it's accessible in real time. Another critical factor is explainability. One of RAG's advantages is grounding output in verifiable sources, but surfacing those references in a transparent, user-friendly way can pose a major challenge. Building trust requires showing not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind each AI-generated response. This trust is critical in not only getting implementation off the ground but also in growing its usage over time to make it a core foundation of employee workflows. As always, security and compliance remain front and center. Especially in regulated industries, enterprises must ensure that sensitive data remains protected and that AI systems align with internal policies. In my experience, offering flexibility in how and where RAG is deployed is often what makes adoption feasible. Ultimately, RAG is not a plug-and-play solution. It demands technical precision, organizational readiness and cross-functional alignment. The organizations that succeed are the ones that view RAG not as a feature but as a strategic capability—built intentionally, deployed carefully and continuously refined. For AI to thrive in enterprise environments, it must be trusted, transparent and tailored. While RAG is a major step toward that future, this can't be achieved without a well-planned strategy. In the coming months, we'll see more agentic-RAG use cases clearly focused on critical business processes. The organizations that recognize this—and prioritize context, compliance and control—will be the ones that I believe will lead the next wave of digital transformation. As your team considers how RAG might play a role in their work, remember to include the key factors detailed above in your conversations.
