First Quarter Highlights
 

Opened 25 new stores, including 18 former Big Lots locations acquired through bankruptcy auction, and ended the quarter with a total of 584 stores in 32 states, an increase of 13.2% year over year.
 

Net sales increased 13.4% to $576.8 million, driven by new store unit growth and an increase in comparable store sales.
 

Comparable store sales increased 2.6%, driven by an increase in transactions.
 

Ollies Army loyalty members increased 9.2% to more than 15.5 million.
 

Gross margin was flat at 41.1%. Lower supply chain costs were offset by lower merchandise margin driven by changes in mix.
 

SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 60 basis points to 28.6%, driven primarily by higher medical and casualty claims.
 

Pre-opening expenses increased $3.9 million to $6.7 million, driven by new store growth, and included $1.8 million of dark rent associated with the bankruptcy acquired stores.
 

Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.75.
 

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $72.2 million and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was 12.5%.
 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $369.5 million, with an additional $45.4 million in long-term investments, for a total cash and investment position of $414.9 million, an increase of 21.5% year over year.
 

The Company invested $17.1 million of cash to repurchase 159,757 shares of its common stock. At the end of the first quarter, $315.5 million remained available for future share repurchases under the current share repurchase authorization.

  (1)
The earnings outlook noted above includes dark rent expenses of approximately $5 million, or $0.06 in adjusted earnings per share, included within pre-opening expenses resulting from the Company’s acquisition of leases of former Big Lots stores.

(2)
The outlook ranges as provided for adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as the Company cannot predict such estimates without unreasonable effort.

(3)
The earnings outlook noted above includes interest income of approximately $17 million. This assumes the potential for lower interest rates in fiscal 2025.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
 
The Company’s results are reported in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, and 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.

Please refer to the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP” later in this press release, which sets forth the non-GAAP operating adjustments for the 13-week periods ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024.
