 Additional Highlights:

  • Total comparable club sales increased by 9.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales increased by 5.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. Total year-to-date comparable club sales increased by 14.6% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, year-to-date comparable club sales increased by 5.7% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.
  • Gross profit increased to $877.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $791.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased 30 basis points over the same quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross profit increased to $2,528.3 million year-to-date in fiscal 2022 from $2,281.5 million in fiscal 2021. Merchandise gross margin rate decreased 40 basis points year-to-date in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. The quarter-to-date merchandise margins were impacted by increased supply chain costs and investments in inflationary categories. On a year-to-date basis, merchandise margins were impacted by increased supply chain costs as well as investments in inflationary categories and markdowns in general merchandise inventory.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $674.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $618.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. SG&A increased to $1,961.6 million year-to-date in fiscal 2022 compared to $1,816.0 million in fiscal 2021. The quarter-to-date increase was primarily driven by increased labor and occupancy costs as a result of new club and gas station openings, as well as incremental costs related to the transition of the Company’s new home office. The year-to-date increase was driven by increased labor costs as a result of last year’s wage investments as well as the acquisition and integration expenses related to the acquisition of assets from Burris Logistics.
  • Operating income increased to $192.0 million, or 4.0% of total revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $170.2 million, or 4.0% of total revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating income increased to $545.2 million, or 3.8% of total revenues, year-to-date in fiscal 2022 compared to $460.2 million, or 3.7% of total revenues, year-to-date in fiscal 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.2% to $272.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $228.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.8% to $766.8 million year-to-date in fiscal 2022 compared to $650.9 million year-to-date in fiscal 2021.
  • Income tax expense increased to $48.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $31.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Income tax expense increased to $129.2 million year-to-date in fiscal 2022 compared to $93.4 million year-to-date in fiscal 2021. For both periods, this increase was primarily due to higher operating income year-over-year and lower excess tax benefits.
  • Inventory increased to $1.50 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $1.26 billion in the same quarter in fiscal 2021. Inventory balances at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 include $96.3 million of perishable inventory related to the acquisition of four distribution centers and related private transportation fleet from Burris Logistics earlier in the year.
  • The Company reduced outstanding debt in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 by $154.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2022, maintaining a net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.9x.
  • Under its existing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 684,819 shares of common stock, totaling $50.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Year-to-date in fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased 1,608,325 shares of common stock, totaling $108.7 million, under such program.

Fiscal 2022 Ending January 28, 2023 Outlook

“We are optimistic about the outlook on our business given the sustained strength in our grocery business and our gains in market share,” said Laura Felice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ's Wholesale Club. “We now expect fiscal year 2022 comparable club sales growth, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, to be in the 5.0% to 5.5% range. While we expect continued merchandise margin rate pressure, we also now expect fiscal year 2022 EPS to be in the $3.70 to $3.80 range. We remain confident that the strength of our core business and our intense focus on delivering value will continue to drive long-term growth.”

We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: stock-based compensation related to acceleration of stock awards; acquisition and integration costs; incremental home office expense; severance; charges related to debt payments; gain or loss on cash flow hedge; and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments on net income.

We define adjusted net income per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

We define adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations 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; pre-opening expenses; acquisition and integration costs; non-cash rent; severance and other adjustments.

We define 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.

We define net debt as total debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents.

We define net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA as net debt at the balance sheet date divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period.

We present adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, which are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, because we believe such measures assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes pre-opening expenses, because we do not believe these expenses are indicative of the underlying operating performance of our clubs. The amount and timing of pre-opening expenses are dependent on, among other things, the size of new clubs opened and the number of new clubs opened during any given period.

Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA are 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 net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and 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 discretionary annual incentive compensation.

We present free cash flow, which is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, because we use it to report to our Board of Directors and we believe it assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure. We present net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, which are not recognized as financial measures under GAAP, because we use them to report to our Board of Directors and we believe they assist investors and analysts in evaluating our borrowing capacity. Net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company.

You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or like some of the adjustments in our presentation of these metrics. Our presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA or net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries. Additionally, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
