Target Reports Strong First Quarter 2012 Earnings
Adjusted EPS of $1.11 Up 11.5% from First Quarter 2011
GAAP EPS of $1.04 Up 5.0% from First Quarter 2011
MINNEAPOLIS (May 16, 2012) — Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today reported first quarter net earnings of $697 million, or $1.04 per share. Adjusted earnings per share, a measure the company believes is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of its U.S. operations, were $1.11 in first quarter 2012, up 11.5 percent from $0.99 in 2011. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided in the tables attached to this press release. All earnings per share figures refer to diluted earnings per share.
“We’re very pleased with our first quarter earnings, which benefited from better-than-expected sales,” said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. “While our outlook for the remainder of 2012 reflects continued economic uncertainty, we are confident in our strategy, keenly focused on delivering an affordable and inspirational merchandise assortment to our guests and committed to making thoughtful investments in our U.S. and Canadian business segments that we expect will reward our shareholders over time.
Fiscal 2012 Earnings Guidance
For second quarter 2012, the company expects adjusted EPS of $1.04 to $1.14 and GAAP EPS of $0.94 to $1.04.
For full-year 2012, the company has raised its guidance by 5 cents and now expects adjusted EPS of $4.60 to $4.80 and GAAP EPS of $4.10 to $4.30.

The difference between the GAAP and adjusted EPS ranges of 10 cents in the quarter and 50 cents for the full year represents the expected EPS impact of expenses related to the company’s Canadian market entry.
U.S. Retail Segment Results
As previously reported, sales increased 6.1 percent in the first quarter to $16.5 billion in 2012 from $15.6 billion in 2011, due to a 5.3 percent increase in comparable-store sales and the contribution from new stores. Segment earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) were $1,199 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 12.9 percent from $1,062 million in 2011.
First quarter 2012 U.S. Retail Segment EBITDA and EBIT margin rates were 10.3 percent and 7.3 percent, respectively, compared with 10.1 percent and 6.8 percent in 2011. First quarter gross margin rate declined to 30.2 percent in 2012 from 30.4 percent in 2011, reflecting downward pressure from the company’s integrated growth strategies partially offset by a beneficial mix of higher-margin sales and underlying rate improvements within categories. U.S. Retail Segment first quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense rate was 19.9 percent in 2012 compared with 20.4 percent in 2011.
U.S. Credit Card Segment Results
First quarter average receivables decreased 6.0 percent to $6.1 billion in 2012 from $6.5 billion in 2011. First quarter 2012 portfolio spread to LIBOR was $137 million, or 9.1%, compared with $209 million, or 13.0%, in 2011. Performance in first quarter 2012 reflected a $35 million reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts, compared with a $125 million reduction in first quarter 2011.

Canadian Segment Results
First quarter 2012 EBIT was $(55) million, due to start-up expenses, depreciation and amortization related to the company’s expected market entry in 2013. Total expenses related to investments in Target’s Canadian market entry reduced Target’s earnings per share by approximately 8 cents in first quarter 2012.(1)
(1) This amount includes interest expense and tax expense that are not included in the segment measure of profit. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the tables attached to this release.
Interest Expense and Taxes
Net interest expense for the quarter was $184 million, including $20 million of interest on capitalized leases related to Target’s Canadian market entry. Net interest expense was $183 million in first quarter 2011.
The company’s effective income tax rate was 36.7 percent in first quarter 2012, including the benefit from favorable resolution of various income tax matters. These tax items increased EPS by approximately 1 cent per share in first quarter 2012.
Capital Returned to Shareholders
In first quarter 2012, the company repurchased approximately 10.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $57.31, for a total investment of $604 million, and paid dividends of $201 million.

Statements in this release regarding second quarter and fiscal 2012 earnings guidance are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements speak only as of the date they are made and are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. The most important risks and uncertainties are described in Item 1A of the company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.
In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the company provides adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 28, 2012 and April 30, 2011. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share. Management believes adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the company’s U.S. operations. Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted EPS differently than the company does, limiting the usefulness of the measure for comparisons with other companies.

EBIT is earnings/(loss) before interest expense and income taxes.
(a) SG&A expenses include start-up costs consisting primarily of compensation, benefits and consulting expenses.
(b) Depreciation and amortization results from depreciation of capital lease assets and leasehold interests. For the three months ended April 28, 2012, the lease payment obligation also gave rise to $20 million of interest expense, recorded in our consolidated statement of operations. There was no interest expense during the three months ended April 30, 2011.

Note: Our segment measure of profit is used by management to evaluate the return on our investment and to make operating decisions. To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of our planned 2013 Canadian market entry and favorable resolutions of various income tax matters. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our U.S. operations. The sum of the non-GAAP adjustments may not equal the total adjustment amounts due to rounding.
(a) Represents interest expense, net of interest income, not included in U.S. Credit Card segment profit. For the three months ended April 28, 2012, U.S. Credit Card segment profit included $2 million of interest expense on nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables, compared with $19 million in the respective prior year period. These amounts, along with other net interest expense, equal consolidated GAAP net interest expense.
(b) Taxes are allocated to our business segments based on estimated income tax rates applicable to the operations of the segment for the period.
(c) Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 672.4 million for the three months ended April 28, 2012, and 697.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2011.
(d) Represents the effect of the resolution of income tax matters.
