NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “BJ’s”) is a leading operator of membership warehouse clubs concentrated primarily in the eastern half of the United States. The Company provides a curated assortment focused on groceries, fresh foods, general merchandise, gasoline, and other ancillary services to deliver a differentiated shopping experience that is further enhanced by the Company's digital capabilities. As of May 2, 2026, BJ's operated 264 warehouse clubs and 205 gas stations in 22 states.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The Company’s business, as is common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to some seasonality. The Company’s net sales and cash flows have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026.

(b) Fiscal Year

The Company follows the National Retail Federation’s fiscal calendar and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 are referred to herein as the “first quarter of fiscal year 2026” and the “first quarter of fiscal year 2025,” respectively. Operating results for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 52-week fiscal year ending January 30, 2027.

The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies and no accounting pronouncements adopted that had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements aside from those identified herein.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The disclosures required under the guidance can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the notes to its financial statements, and does not expect ASU 2024-03 to affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development, and removing the previous “development stage” model to determine when costs are able to be capitalized. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified

prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(d) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements which serves to clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements to various topics within the Codification. Generally, the amendments in this ASU are not intended to result in significant changes to current accounting principles. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may elect to adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis.

The Company adopted ASU 2025-12 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which changes the accounting for treasury share retirements. Under the new guidance, the Company elected to recognize the excess of the repurchase price over par value entirely as a reduction from additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), provided that APIC remains positive. This policy change is reflected within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of stockholders’ equity, and “Note 7. Treasury Shares and Share Repurchase Program.” The adoption did not impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or the statements of cash flows.

3. Revenue Recognition

Net sales

The Company recognizes net sales at clubs and gas stations when the customer takes possession of the goods and tenders payment. Revenue is recorded at the point-of-sale based on the transaction price, net of any applicable discounts, sales tax, and expected refunds. For digitally-enabled sales, including buy-online-pickup-in-club (“BOPIC”), curbside delivery, and same-day delivery, the Company generally recognizes revenue when the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For ship-to-home sales, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which is typically at the time of shipment.

In the ordinary course of business, sales tax is collected at the time of purchase on items that are taxable in the respective jurisdiction. Sales tax is not included within net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Sales tax is recorded as a liability at the point-of-sale and subsequently remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Rewards programs

The Company’s Club+ program allows participating members to earn 2% cash back, up to a maximum of $500 per year, on qualified purchases made in BJ’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, a 5-cent per gallon discount at BJ’s gas locations, and two free same-day deliveries. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member once $10 in rewards have been earned.

The Company’s co-branded credit card program, known as the BJ’s One and BJ’s One+ program, allows cardholders the opportunity to earn up to 5% cash back on purchases made in BJ’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and up to a 15-cent per gallon discount on gasoline when paying with a BJ’s One or BJ’s One+ Mastercard at BJ’s gas locations. BJ’s One+ Mastercard cardholders also receive two free same-day deliveries if such benefit has not already been received under the Club+ program. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member monthly on the credit card statement date. Earned rewards on each of the Club+ and co-branded credit card programs do not expire.

The Company accounts for these transactions as multiple-element arrangements and allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations using their relative fair values. The Company includes the fair value of rewards in deferred revenue at the time the rewards are earned. Earned rewards may be redeemed on future purchases made at BJ’s. The Company recognizes revenue related to earned rewards when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase at one of the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app. While the Company continues to honor all rewards presented for redemption, the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote for certain rewards due to historical experience, including after long periods of inactivity, and rewards being linked to expired or canceled memberships. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue, or breakage, from unredeemed rewards. The Company earns monthly royalties under the BJ’s One and BJ’s One+ credit card programs related to the use of the BJ’s trade name and the issuance of rewards and gasoline discounts to cardholders. Royalty revenue is recognized based upon actual customer activities, such as reward redemptions, in the period in which the underlying activity occurs.

Membership

The Company charges a membership fee to its customers, which allows customers to shop in the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and purchase gasoline at the Company’s gas stations for the duration of the membership, which is generally twelve months. In addition, members have access to other ancillary services, coupons, and promotions. As the Company has the obligation to provide access to its clubs, website, mobile app, and gas stations for the duration of the membership term, the Company recognizes membership fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the membership. All membership fees and related membership revenues are recorded as membership fee income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Gift Card Program

The Company sells BJ’s gift cards that allow customers to redeem the cards for future purchases equal to the loaded value of the gift card. Revenue from gift card sales is recognized upon redemption of the gift cards and control of the purchased goods or services is transferred to the customer.

Contract Balances

Current and long-term deferred revenue balances are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the Company’s deferred revenue balance related to outstanding performance obligations for contracts with customers, excluding earned rewards which are noted below (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized during the period that was included in the opening deferred balance, excluding earned rewards, as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025 (in thousands):

The timing and recognition of earned rewards and gift card redemptions varies depending on consumer behavior and spending patterns.

ABL Revolving Facility

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into the ABL Revolving Facility with an ABL Revolving Commitment of $1.20 billion pursuant to that certain credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The maturity date of the ABL Revolving Facility is July 28, 2027.

Revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Facility are available in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate ABL Revolving Commitment or a borrowing base based on the value of certain inventory and accounts and credit card receivables, subject to specified advance rebates and reserves as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Indebtedness under the ABL Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets (other than real estate) of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. As amended, interest on the ABL Revolving Facility is calculated either at SOFR plus a range of 100 to 125 basis points or a base rate plus 0 to 25 basis points, based on excess availability. The Company will also pay an unused commitment fee of 20 basis points per annum on the unused ABL Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing is for a period of one, three, or six months, as selected by the Company, or for such other period that is twelve months or less requested by the Company and consented to by the lenders and administrative agent.

The ABL Revolving Facility places certain restrictions (i.e., covenants) upon the Borrower’s, and its subsidiaries’, ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, and make certain loans, investments, and divestitures. The ABL Revolving Facility contains customary events of default (including payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain of our other indebtedness, breach of representations and covenants and change of control). The occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Revolving Facility would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL Revolving Facility.

As of May 2, 2026, there was $375.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $8.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the ABL Revolving Facility was 4.75% and unused capacity was $816.2 million. As of January 31, 2026 and May 3, 2025, the interest rate on the ABL Revolving Facility was 4.77% and 5.42%, respectively.

First Lien Term Loan

On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.

The Fifth Amendment, among other things, provided for a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which refinanced and replaced in full the existing Tranche B term loans outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment. In addition, the Fifth Amendment reduced applicable margin in respect of the interest rate from SOFR plus 200 basis points per annum to SOFR plus 175 basis points per annum. The maturity date of the First Lien Term Loan is February 3, 2029.

Voluntary prepayments are permitted. Principal payments must be made on the First Lien Term Loan pursuant to an annual excess cash flow calculation when the net leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00. As of May 2, 2026, the Company's net leverage ratio did not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and therefore, no incremental principal payments were required. The First Lien Term Loan is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants but no financial covenants. It is secured on a senior basis by certain “fixed assets” of the Company and on a junior basis by certain “liquid” assets of the Company.

There was $400.0 million outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan as of each of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan was 5.41%, 5.43%, and 6.07% at May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are typical of a retail business. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, an accrual will be established for legal proceedings if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. The Company does not believe the resolution of any current proceedings will result in a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Gain contingencies are recognized when they are realized or realizable.

6. Stock Incentive Plans

On June 13, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for, among other types of awards, the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance shares.

The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of 13,148,058 shares and allows for most shares that are forfeited, expire, or are settled in cash to be reissued for new grants that may be awarded. For further details on the 2018 Plan, refer to “Note 11. Stock Incentive Plans” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026.

As of May 2, 2026, there were 4,051,667 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock award activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 (shares in thousands):

Actual payout for the performance stock unit awards granted in each of fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, which vest in fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively, could be below 100% or up to 300%.

On June 14, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the ESPP, which became effective July 1, 2018. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP is equal to the sum of (i) 973,014 shares and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2019 and ending in 2028 equal to the lesser of (A) 486,507 shares, (B) 0.5% of the shares outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (C) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The amount of expense recognized related to the ESPP was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

On November 18, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2024 Repurchase Program”) that allows the Company to repurchase up to $1.00 billion of its outstanding common stock from time to time as market conditions warrant. The 2024 Repurchase Program was effective on February 1, 2025 and expires in January 2029. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The Company initiated the 2024 Repurchase Program to mitigate potentially dilutive effects of stock awards granted by the Company, in addition to enhancing shareholder value.

The Company repurchased 2,114,000 shares for $206.6 million and 55,000 shares for $6.2 million under the 2024 Repurchase Program during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method based on the fair market value of the shares on the dates of repurchase plus any direct costs incurred.

As of May 2, 2026, $545.0 million remained available to purchase under the 2024 Repurchase Program.

Retirement of Treasury Shares

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company retired 2,335,072 shares of treasury stock, which represented the cumulative number of shares held in the Company’s treasury due to acquisitions during the current period. The retirement of these shares resulted in decreases in each of treasury stock and APIC of $227.5 million. There were no share retirements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

8. Income Taxes

The Company projects the estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2026 to be 27.4%, excluding the tax effect of discrete events, such as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits and changes in uncertain tax positions, among others.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 27.0% and 22.2% for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

Cash taxes paid as presented in the supplemental cash flow information section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes $91.2 million paid for transferable credits during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years from 2022 forward remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities.

On July 4, 2025, new legislation, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), was signed into law. Among other provisions, the Act reestablished and made permanent 100% initial-year bonus depreciation on qualifying property, as well as the immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenses. The Company has quantified the impact of the Act to our financial statements and has reflected the effects within the consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 such as quoted market prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current market rates for our specific debt instrument. Judgment is required to develop these estimates. As such, the estimated fair value of long-term debt is classified within Level 2, as defined under GAAP.

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at May 2, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):


	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
ABL Revolving Facility	$	375,000	$	375,000
First Lien Term Loan	400,000		402,500
Total Debt	$	775,000	$	777,500

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at January 31, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):


	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
ABL Revolving Facility	$	120,000	$	120,000
First Lien Term Loan	400,000		404,252
Total Debt	$	520,000	$	524,252

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at May 3, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):


	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
ABL Revolving Facility	$	150,000	$	150,000
First Lien Term Loan	400,000		400,916
Total Debt	$	550,000	$	550,916

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

11. Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations are primarily retail club and other sales procured from clubs and distribution centers, representing one operating segment. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are located in the United States. The Company does not have significant sales outside the United States, nor does any customer represent more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented.

The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, in evaluating performance of the retail operations segment and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole, including investing in clubs, stockholder return programs, and other strategies. The CODM does not review assets when evaluating the results of the segment, and therefore, such information is not presented.

The following table provides the operating financial results of our reportable segment (in thousands):


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Total revenues	$	5,661,500	$	5,153,483
Less: significant and other segment expenses
Merchandise cost of sales (a)	3,520,203		3,363,785
Selling, general and administrative expenses (b)	819,988		765,854
Other segment expenses (c)	1,178,583		874,076
Net income	$	142,726	$	149,768


(a)			Merchandise cost of sales represents those expenses related to the sales of merchandise including inventory costs and distribution costs, and excludes costs related to gasoline and membership fee income.
(b)			Selling, general and administrative expenses is inclusive of pre-opening expenses, stock-based compensation, and other corporate expenses.
(c)			Other segment expenses primarily consists of other costs of revenues, including gas, as well as interest expense and income tax expense.

Overview

BJ’s Wholesale Club is a leading operator of membership warehouse clubs concentrated primarily in the eastern half of the United States. We deliver significant value to our members, consistently offering up to 25% savings on a representative basket of manufacturer-branded groceries compared to traditional supermarket competitors. We provide a curated assortment focused on groceries, fresh foods, general merchandise, gasoline, and other ancillary services to deliver a differentiated shopping experience that is further enhanced by our digital capabilities. Additionally, we provide access to coupons and promotions to deliver further value to our members.

Since pioneering the warehouse club model in New England in 1984, we have grown our footprint to 267 large-format, high-volume warehouse clubs and 205 gas stations spanning 22 states as of the date of this filing. In our originating New England market, which has high population density and generates a disproportionate part of U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”), we operate nearly three times the number of clubs compared to the next largest warehouse club competitor. In addition to shopping in our clubs, members are able to shop when and how they want through our website, bjs.com, and our highly rated mobile app, which allows them to use our BOPIC service, curbside delivery, same-day delivery or traditional ship-to-home service, as well as through the DoorDash and Instacart marketplaces. We also offer Same-Day Select, which offers BJ’s members the ability to pay a one-time fee for unlimited same-day deliveries over a one-year period. Additionally, members may use ExpressPay® to skip checkout lines when they shop in club and pay via their mobile devices.

Our goal is to offer our members significant value and a meaningful return in savings on their annual membership fee. We have over 8 million members paying annual fees to gain access to savings on groceries, general merchandise, services, and gasoline. The annual membership fee for our Club membership is generally $60, and the annual membership fee for our Club+ membership, which offers additional value-enhancing features, is generally $120. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Club and Club+ membership fees were $55 and $110 per year, respectively. We believe that members can save over ten times their $60 Club membership fee versus what they would otherwise pay at traditional supermarket competitors when they spend $2,500 or more per year at BJ’s on manufacturer-branded groceries. In addition to providing significant savings on a representative basket of manufacturer-branded groceries, we accept all manufacturer coupons and also carry our own exclusive brands that enable members to save on price without compromising on quality. Our two private label brands, Wellsley Farms® and Berkley Jensen®, represented approximately 27% of our total net sales, excluding gasoline, for fiscal year 2025. Our customers recognize the relevance of our value proposition across economic environments, as demonstrated by over 25 consecutive years of membership fee income growth. Our membership fee income was $511.7 million for the trailing twelve-months ended May 2, 2026.

Our business is subject to some seasonality. Historically, our business has generally realized a slightly higher portion of net sales and cash flows from operations in the second and fourth fiscal quarters, attributable primarily to the impact of the summer and year-end holiday season, respectively. Our quarterly results have been, and will continue to be, affected by the timing of new club openings and their associated pre-opening expenses. As a result of these factors, our financial results for any single quarter or for periods of less than a year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Overall economic trends

The overall economic environment and related changes in consumer behavior have a significant impact on our business. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote customer spending in our clubs, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, may have a different or more extreme effect on spending at our clubs. Macroeconomic factors that can affect customer spending patterns, and thereby our results of operations, include, among others, employment rates, changes to the SNAP, government stimulus programs, tax legislation, business conditions, changes in the housing market, the availability of credit, interest rates and inflation, tariffs, tax rates, and fuel and energy costs. In addition, unemployment rates and benefits may cause us to experience higher labor costs.

Size and loyalty of membership base

The membership model is a critical element of our business. Members drive our results of operations through their membership fee income and their purchases. The majority of members renew within six months following their renewal date. Therefore, our renewal rate is a trailing calculation that captures renewals during the period seven to eighteen months prior to the reporting date. We have grown our membership fee income each year for over 25 consecutive years and the quality of our membership mix is strong as evidenced by our higher tier penetration growth in the first thirteen weeks of fiscal year 2026. Our tenured membership renewal rate, a key indicator of membership engagement, satisfaction and loyalty, was 90% at the end of fiscal year 2025.

Effective sourcing and distribution of products and consumer demands

Our net sales and gross profit are affected by our ability to purchase our products in sufficient quantities at competitive prices. Further, our ability to maintain our appeal to existing customers and attract new customers primarily depends on our ability to originate, develop, and offer a compelling product assortment responsive to customer preferences. As a result, our level of net sales could be adversely affected due to constraints in our supply chain, including our inability to procure and stock sufficient quantities of some merchandise in a manner that is able to match market demand from our customers.

Infrastructure investment

Our historical operating results reflect the impact of our ongoing investments to support our growth. We have made significant investments in our business that we believe have laid the foundation for continued profitable growth. We believe that expanding our club footprint, bringing substantially all of our end-to-end perishable supply chain in-house, enhancing our information systems, including our distribution center and transportation management systems, and investing in hardware, software, and digitally enabled shopping capabilities for convenience, such as BOPIC, curbside pickup, same-day delivery, ExpressPay, and a digital coupon gallery will enable us to replicate our profitable club format and provide a differentiated shopping experience. We expect these infrastructure investments to support our successful operating model across our club operations.

Gasoline prices

The market price of gasoline impacts our net sales and comparable club sales, and large fluctuations in the price of gasoline have a short-term impact on our sales and margins. Retail gasoline prices are driven by daily crude oil and wholesale commodity market changes and are volatile, as they are influenced by factors that include changes in demand and supply of oil and refined products, global geopolitical events, regional market conditions, and supply interruptions caused by severe weather conditions. The change in crude oil prices impacts the purchase price of wholesale petroleum fuel products, which in turn impacts retail gasoline prices at the pump. During times when prices are particularly volatile, differences in pricing and procurement strategies between the Company and its competitors lead to temporary margin contraction or expansion, depending on whether prices are rising or falling, and this impact affects our overall results for a fiscal quarter.

In addition, the relative level of gasoline prices from period to period leads to differences in our net sales between those periods. Further, because we generally attempt to maintain a fairly stable gross profit per gallon on an absolute dollar basis, this variance in net sales, which may be substantial, may or may not have a significant impact on our operating income.

Inflation and deflation trends

Our financial results can be directly impacted by substantial changes in product costs due to commodity cost fluctuations or general inflation, disinflation, or deflation, which could lead to a reduction in our sales, as well as greater margin pressure, as

costs may not be able to be passed on to consumers. Changes in commodity prices and changes in inflation rates have impacted several categories of our business and may continue to do so. Inflationary volatility can be attributed to macroeconomic factors including supply chain disruptions, government stimulus, interest rates, tariffs, and other factors. In response to general inflationary volatility, we seek to minimize the impact of such events by sourcing our merchandise from different vendors, changing our product mix, or increasing our pricing when necessary.

Net Sales

Net sales are derived from direct retail sales to our customers, net of merchandise returns and discounts. Fluctuations in net sales are impacted by opening new clubs and gas stations and comparable club sales.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $5.53 billion, a 9.9% increase from net sales reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $5.03 billion. The increase was due primarily to growth in the general merchandise and services division, as well as a net increase of nine clubs from the prior year period. Additionally, net sales were positively impacted by an increase in average retail price-per-gallon compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, as well as an increase in comparable gallons sold.

Comparable Club Sales and Merchandise Comparable Club Sales

We believe net sales are an important driver of our profitability, particularly comparable club sales. Comparable club sales, a key performance indicator, also known as same-store sales in the retail industry, includes all clubs that were open for at least 13 months at the beginning of the period and were in operation during the entirety of both periods being compared, including relocated clubs and expansions. Comparable club sales allow us to evaluate how our club base is performing by measuring the change in period-over-period net sales in clubs that have been open for the applicable period.

Various factors affect comparable club sales, including customer preferences and trends, product sourcing, promotional offerings and pricing, shopping frequency from new and existing members and the amount they spend on each visit, weather, and holiday shopping period timing and length. Sales comparisons can be influenced by certain factors that are beyond our control such as changes in the cost of gasoline and macro-economic factors such as inflation. The higher comparable club sales, the more we can leverage certain of our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, reducing them as a percentage of sales and enhancing profitability.


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2026
Merchandise comparable club sales	1.5	%
Gasoline comparable sales	4.8	%
Comparable club sales	6.3	%

Merchandise comparable club sales represents comparable club sales from all merchandise other than our gasoline operations for the applicable period. Merchandise comparable club sales increased 1.5% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, driven by increased sales in the general merchandise and services division of 7.1% and the perishables, grocery, and sundries division of 0.7%.

General merchandise and services exhibited growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 due to strength in consumer electronics, partially offset by headwinds in home and fashion.

In the perishables, grocery, and sundries division, growth was led by fresh meat and produce, as well as non-alcoholic beverage, nutrition, candy, and snack categories when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. First quarter growth was partially offset by deflation in perishables, especially eggs, as well as decreases in household cleaning and health and beauty categories.

The impact of gasoline sales is a result of an increase in retail prices year-over-year, as well as an increase in comparable gallons sold.

Membership fee income

Membership fee income was $132.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $120.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, a 9.9% increase. The increase was primarily driven by strength in membership acquisition, retention and higher-tier membership penetration across both new and existing clubs.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the direct cost of merchandise and gasoline sold at our clubs, including costs associated with operating our distribution centers, including payroll, payroll benefits, occupancy costs, and depreciation; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from vendors to our distribution centers and from distribution centers to our clubs; and vendor allowances, rebates, and cash discounts.

Cost of sales was $4.63 billion, or 83.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $4.18 billion, or 83.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased by approximately 10 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily driven by the Company’s continued investments in pricing, partially offset by tariff refund benefits recognized in the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A consists of various expenses related to supporting and facilitating the sale of merchandise in our clubs, including the following: payroll and payroll benefits for team members; rent, depreciation, and other occupancy costs for retail and corporate locations; share-based compensation, advertising expenses; tender costs, including credit and debit card fees; amortization of intangible assets; and consulting, legal, insurance, restructuring charges, and other professional services expenses.

SG&A includes both fixed and variable components and, therefore, is not directly correlated with net sales. We expect that our SG&A will increase in future periods due to investments to drive comparable club sales growth and our expanding footprint as we open new clubs and distribution centers. In addition, any future increases in wages or stock-based grants or modifications will increase our SG&A.

SG&A increased by 5.9% to $806.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 from $760.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase in SG&A was primarily driven by increased labor, occupancy, and operational costs mainly as a result of new club and gas station openings. Additionally, an increase in the number of owned clubs has resulted in increased depreciation expense year-over-year.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses include startup costs for new clubs and distribution centers and costs for relocated clubs. Expenses will vary based on the number of club openings, geography of the club, whether the club is owned or leased, and timing of the opening relative to our period end.

Pre-opening expenses were $14.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Pre-opening expenses fluctuated due to timing of spend and the number of club openings year-over-year.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was primarily due to incremental interest expense on finance leases compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense related to fluctuations in outstanding borrowings and interest rates year-over-year.

Provision for income taxes

The effective income tax rate was 27.0% and 22.2% for the first quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to lower tax benefits from stock-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, are presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to relevant GAAP measures we also provide non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and other key performance indicators, including comparable club sales, because management believes these metrics are useful to investors and analysts by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These measures are customary for our industry and commonly used by competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be reviewed in isolation or considered as an alternative to any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and comparable club sales may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries. See Results of Operations above for our comparable club sales and merchandise comparable club sales results. Adjusted free cash flow is discussed within the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

The adjusted net income and adjusted EPS metrics are important measures used by management to compare the performance of core operating results between periods. We define adjusted net income as net income as reported, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, including restructuring charges, and other adjustments that the Company believes appropriate, net of the tax impact of such adjustments. We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are useful metrics to investors and analysts because they present more accurate year-over-year comparisons for our net income and net income per diluted share because adjusted items are not the result of our normal operations. We also use adjusted EPS in connection with establishing long-term incentive compensation.

(a)Represents charges related to the restructuring of certain corporate and club functions, including costs for severance, retention, outplacement, consulting fees, and other third-party fees.

(b)Represents the tax effect of the above adjustments at a statutory tax rate of approximately 28%.

(c)Adjusted EPS is measured using weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, and other adjustments.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance compared to other measures, which can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. We use adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies; to make budgeting decisions; and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. We also use adjusted EBITDA in connection with establishing annual incentive compensation.

The following is a reconciliation of our net income to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

(b) Other non-cash items, including non-cash accretion on asset retirement obligations and obligations associated with our post-retirement medical plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from club operations and borrowings from our ABL Revolving Facility. As of May 2, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $27.8 million and we had $816.2 million of unused capacity under our ABL Revolving Facility. Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are to fund normal recurring operational expenses and anticipated capital expenditures, fund share repurchases, and meet debt service and principal repayment obligations. We believe that our current resources, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next twelve months.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026, we repurchased 2,114,000 shares under the 2024 Repurchase Program for a total purchase price of $206.6 million, inclusive of associated costs. We continue to prioritize disciplined capital allocation, balancing reinvestment in growth, and returns to shareholders through share repurchases.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are, in the opinion of management, reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our results of operations or financial position. We do, however, enter into letters of credit and purchase obligations in the normal course of our operations.

Summary of Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities is presented in the following table:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	139,958	$	208,093
Net cash used in investing activities	(184,634)		(142,291)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	26,257		(54,590)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(18,419)	$	11,212

Net Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $140.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to $208.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to fluctuations in working capital including $91.0 million related to accounts receivable due to timing of vendor, customer, and other cash receipts, including tariff refunds; $54.7 million related to merchandise inventories, primarily driven by changes in inventory levels in our perishables and grocery divisions and gas inventory due primarily to increased cost per gallon; and $46.3 million related to

prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily driven by increases in income taxes receivable as a result of purchased tax credits. These negative working capital fluctuations were partially offset by $129.2 million related to accounts payable as a result of timing and volume of inventory purchases and vendor payments.

Our net cash from operating activities can fluctuate from period to period due to several factors, including: the timing and mix of sales, the timing and volume of inventory purchases as the Company prepares for holiday seasons, lease-related activity, income tax and other payments.

Net Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities was $184.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to $142.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025. This fluctuation is primarily driven by an increase in capital spending of $41.5 million as we continue to execute on our growth strategy through investment in new clubs in our pipeline, as well as strategic enhancements across our distribution network.

Net Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 was $26.3 million compared to $54.6 million used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025. The increase in cash provided is primarily due to $255.0 million of net borrowings on our ABL Revolving Facility for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to net payments of $25.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, partially offset by a $184.4 million increase in the acquisition of treasury stock compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We present adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, because we believe it assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure. We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property and equipment, net of disposals, plus proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.

The following is a reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow for the periods presented:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	May 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	139,958	$	208,093
Less: Additions to property and equipment, net of disposals	(182,004)		(140,497)
Plus: Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions	—		—
Adjusted free cash flow	$	(42,046)	$	67,596

Adjusted free cash flow decreased $109.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease is driven by a decrease in cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in working capital, and an increase in capital spending.

Debt and Borrowing Capacity

Our primary source of borrowing capacity is the ABL Revolving Facility, which is further discussed in “Note 4. Debt and Credit Arrangements,” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On July 28, 2022, we entered into the ABL Revolving Facility with an aggregate ABL Revolving Commitment of $1.20 billion pursuant to that certain credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and other lenders party thereto. The maturity date of the ABL Revolving Facility is July 28, 2027.

On November 4, 2024, we entered into the Fifth Amendment of the First Lien Term Loan with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.

Loan Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment. In addition, the Fifth Amendment reduced applicable margin in respect of the interest rate from SOFR plus 200 basis points per annum to SOFR plus 175 basis points per annum. The maturity date of the First Lien Term Loan is February 3, 2029.

At May 2, 2026, there was $375.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $8.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.75% and unused capacity was $816.2 million.

At May 2, 2026, the interest rate for the First Lien Term Loan was 5.41% and there was $400.0 million outstanding.

Material Cash Commitments

Our material cash commitments consist primarily of debt obligations, interest payments, leases, and purchase orders for merchandise inventory, agreements for capital items, gasoline, products and services used in our business, information technology, executive employment, transferable tax credits, and other agreements. These material cash commitments impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital needs. As of May 2, 2026, other than a cash commitment of approximately $85 million, expected to be paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, related to the purchase of transferable tax credits, and those items related to the ordinary course of operations of our business such as inventory purchases, agreements for capital items, and new leases and lease amendments, there were no material changes to our material cash commitments from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. There were no material changes in critical accounting policies and estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 for a complete list of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our accounting policies are set forth in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies and no accounting pronouncements adopted that had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements aside from the adoption of ASU 2025-12, which impacts the accounting for treasury shares upon retirement.

Refer to “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk and changes in rates will impact our net interest expense and our cash flow from operations. Substantially all of our borrowings carry variable interest rates, and we expect that some of our future outstanding debt will have variable interest rates. Accordingly, we seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs and may use interest rate caps and/or swap agreements in the future to manage our interest rate risks relating to such variable rate debt. Increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our variable rate debt as well as when any of our fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced and an increase in interest rates could have a material impact on our cash flow.

As of May 2, 2026, our total debt outstanding was $775.0 million, which included $375.0 million under our ABL Revolving Facility and $400.0 million under our First Lien Term Loan at interest rates of 4.75% and 5.41%, respectively. See “Note 4. Debt and Credit Arrangements” of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. A 100 basis point change in prevailing market rates would cause annual interest costs to change by approximately $7.8 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of May 2, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various litigation, claims and other proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We believe these actions are routine and incidental to the business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that any will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025.
