Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the prior year’s first quarter ended May 3, 2025 for the results of continuing operations.

Net sales increased 7.2% to $5.0 billion. Comparable store net sales increased 3.5%, driven by a 4.5% increase in average ticket, partially offset by a 1.0% decline in traffic.

Gross profit margin increased 120 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by higher mark-on, lower freight costs, and lower shrink. These benefits were partially offset by higher tariff costs and higher markdowns.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 50 basis points to 27.8% of total revenue. The increase was primarily due to higher marketing costs, general liability costs, and higher depreciation partially offset by lower payroll costs.

Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses inclusive of transition services agreement income, net increased 10 basis points as a percent of total revenue.

Transition services agreement income, net was $21.1 million for services provided between Dollar Tree and Family Dollar following the sale.
