The Children's Place Announces Preliminary Unaudited Results for the Fourth Quarter 2023 - Seite 2

The Company plans to provide further commentary on the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023 actual results, and the Company’s outlook for fiscal 2024, during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as part of its earnings release and conference call.

Certain of the Company’s preliminary unaudited results are reported in this press release on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP measures, and are not intended to replace GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes the income and expense items excluded as non-GAAP adjustments are not reflective of the performance of its core business, and that providing this supplemental disclosure to investors will facilitate comparisons of the past and present performance of its core business.

This press release does not contain all the necessary information for an understanding of the Company’s results of operations or its financial condition for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. As the Company completes its quarter-end and fiscal year-end financial close processes and finalizes its financial statements for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023, including the accounting for taxes in accordance with GAAP, it is possible that the Company may identify items that require it to make adjustments to the preliminary unaudited financial information set forth above, and those adjustments could be material. The Company undertakes no obligation to, and does not intend to, update financial information prior to the release of final fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023 financial information in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2024.
