Additional Highlights:
•Total comparable club sales increased by 1.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales increased by 3.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Membership fee income increased to $120.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $111.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by strength in membership acquisition, retention and higher tier membership penetration across both new and existing clubs, as well as the increase in annual membership fees which became effective in January 2025.
•Gross profit increased to $969.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $883.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, increased by 30 basis points over the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company continues to manage the business to drive profitable growth across the broader merchandise assortment.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $760.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $721.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased labor and occupancy costs 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.
•Income before income taxes increased to $192.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $146.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Income tax expense increased to $42.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $35.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in income tax expense is driven by an increase in income before income taxes compared to the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
•Net income increased to $149.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $111.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased by 20.9% to $285.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $236.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Under its existing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 55,000 shares of common stock, totaling $6.2 million, inclusive of associated costs, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Fiscal 2025 Ending January 31, 2026 Outlook
“As we look to fiscal 2025, we are confident in our team, our positioning in the marketplace and the growth drivers that are within our control. We will remain focused on executing against our long-term priorities to drive continued traffic and market share gains,” said Laura Felice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Based on what we know today, we are leaving our fiscal 2025 guidance unchanged, and will continue to evaluate as the year progresses.”
On March 6, 2025, the Company provided the following guidance for fiscal 2025:
•Comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, to increase 2.0% to 3.5% year-over-year
•Adjusted EPS to range from $4.10 to $4.30
•Capital expenditures of approximately $800 million

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, net debt, net debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA, and comparable club sales.
We define adjusted net income as net income as reported, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual changes, 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 define adjusted EBITDA 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 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.
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 EPS 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.
We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted EPS 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 EPS 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 and adjusted EPS in connection with establishing annual and long-term incentive compensation.
We present adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 EPS, 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 EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted 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 EPS, 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 EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted 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 EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted 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.

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, the Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including of its projected range for adjusted EPS for Fiscal 2025 to net income per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, under "Fiscal 2025 Ending January 31, 2026" above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items or there are no meaningful adjustments to be presented in the reconciliation and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income per diluted share, if any. This includes items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, cannot be reasonably predicted and/or for which there would not be any meaningful adjustment or difference. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The information under "Fiscal 2025 Ending January 31, 2026" above, including expectations about adjusted EPS reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions. To the extent actual results differ from our current expectations, the Company’s results may differ materially from the expectations set forth above. Other factors, as referenced elsewhere in this press release, may also cause the Company’s results to differ materially from the expectations set forth above.
