INTRODUCTION TO

PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

On July 14, 2005, Carter’s, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The William Carter Company (“TWCC”), (collectively the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding common stock of OshKosh B’Gosh, Inc. (“OshKosh”) for a purchase price of $312.1 million, which includes payment for vested stock options (the “Acquisition”).  As part of financing the Acquisition, the Company refinanced its existing debt, including its former senior credit facility and its $113.8 million 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes (together with the Acquisition, the “Transaction”).  Financing for the Transaction and refinancing the Company’s other debt totaled $498.0 million and was provided by $500.0 million in new term loan borrowings (both the $500.0 million term loan and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility are part of a new senior credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) entered into by the Company).

 

The proceeds of the financing were used to purchase the outstanding common stock and vested stock options of OshKosh ($312.1 million), pay Transaction expenses ($6.2 million), refinance the Company’s former senior credit facility ($36.2 million), repurchase the Company’s 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes ($113.8 million), pay a redemption premium on the Company’s 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes ($14.0 million), along with accrued and unpaid interest ($5.1 million), and pay debt issuance costs ($10.6 million). Other costs paid prior and subsequent to the closing of the Transaction totaled $1.4 million.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of April 2, 2005 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on April 2, 2005 and combines the Company and OshKosh as of April 2, 2005.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005 and the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 give effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on January 4, 2004 and combines the Company for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005 and the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 with OshKosh for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005 and the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005.

 

The allocation of the purchase price is based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the Acquisition.  Management, with the assistance of independent valuation specialists, is currently assessing the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The allocation of the purchase price is dependent upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of developing such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  As the final determination of the required purchase accounting adjustments has not yet been made, the financial position and results of operations may vary significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and OshKosh and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto.  The pro forma adjustments, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, are based on currently available information and certain adjustments we believe are reasonable.  They are not necessarily indicative of our consolidated financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the Transaction taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future consolidated financial position or results of operations.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of OshKosh’s financial statements to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  In addition to reviewing valuation assumptions, the Company is still in the process of accumulating the financial data as of July 14, 2005 required to complete the valuations.  Such valuations are expected to be completed prior to filing the Company’s third quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the Acquisition on July 14, 2005, we refinanced our former senior credit facility consisting of a $36.2 million Term Loan C and an available $80.0 million revolving loan facility under which no borrowings were outstanding, exclusive of outstanding letters of credit, and we repurchased our 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 at a price which included a redemption premium of $14.0 million in addition to the principal amount of $113.8 million (collectively, the “Refinancing”).  As a result of the Refinancing, we wrote off $4.5 million in unamortized debt issuance costs related to the former senior credit facility and the Senior Subordinated Notes and expensed $0.5 million related to the discount on the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

Financing for the Acquisition and Refinancing was provided by a new $500 million Term Loan B and a $125 million revolving credit facility (including a sub-limit for letters of credit of $80 million, the “Revolver”) entered into by TWCC with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Credit Suisse, and certain other financial institutions (the “Senior Credit Facility”).  The term of the Revolver extends to July 14, 2011 and the term of the Term Loan B extends to July 14, 2012.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolver initially accrue interest at a prime rate plus .75% or a LIBOR rate plus 1.75%, at our option, and may be reduced based upon the achievement of certain leverage ratios. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B accrue interest at a prime rate plus .75% or a LIBOR rate plus 1.75%, at our option, and may be reduced based upon the achievement of certain leverage ratios and credit ratings. Interest is payable at the end of interest rate reset periods, which vary in length but in no case exceed 12 months, for LIBOR rate loans and quarterly for prime rate loans.  The Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio, and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Senior Credit Facility also sets forth mandatory and optional prepayment conditions, including an annual excess cash flow requirement, as defined, that may result in our use of cash to reduce our debt obligations. Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets, including the assets of our domestic subsidiaries.

(3)     Adjustments reflect the payment of financing costs related to the new Senior Credit Facility of approximately $10.6 million. Approximately $1.1 million of these costs were expensed in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.”  Approximately $0.3 million of the deferred financing costs associated with the former revolving loan facility remain capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the new Revolver in accordance with EITF No. 98-14, “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements.”

 

(4)     Adjustment reflects the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the former senior credit facility and 10.875% Senior Subordinated Notes using a tax rate of 39.5%, which represents the actual effective tax rate for the first three months of fiscal 2005.

*** Upon the completion of the Acquisition of OshKosh, the Company’s management committed to a plan of reorganization of OshKosh’s operations. Restructuring accruals of approximately $19.7 million have been included in both short-term and long-term liabilities. These restructuring charges include severance costs of approximately $11.3 million, retail store lease termination costs of $6.4 million, and contract termination costs of $2.0 million.

 

**** Under the purchase method of accounting, the adjustment reflects the preliminary estimate of goodwill resulting from the difference between the total consideration paid to acquire OshKosh and the valuation of OshKosh’s assets, liabilities, and other purchase accounting adjustments and the historical amounts of OshKosh’s assets and liabilities.

 

(7)     Adjustment reflects the elimination of the historical equity of OshKosh.
