Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights and Year-Over-Year Comparisons
| • |
Opened a record 86 stores for the fiscal year and ended the period with 645 stores in 34 states, an increase of 15.4%.
|
| • |
Ollie’s Army loyalty members increased 12.1% to 17.0 million members.
|
| • |
Net sales increased 16.8% to $779.3 million, driven by new store unit growth and an increase in comparable store sales.
|
| • |
Comparable store sales increased 3.6%, driven by an increase in basket and transactions. Seasonal, consumables, hardware, stationery, and sporting goods were the top performing categories in the
quarter.
|
| • |
Gross margin of 39.9% was ahead of plan and the year-over-year decrease of 80 basis points was primarily from planned investments in price.
|
| • |
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 130 basis points to 24.2%. Excluding a one-time expense of $5.5 million for the accelerated expense
resulting from the modification of existing equity awards for our Executive Chairman in last year’s fourth quarter, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 40 basis points to 24.2%. The decrease was primarily driven by
leverage of our fixed costs from the increase in comparable store sales and benefits from our optimization efforts in marketing.
|
| • |
Pre-opening expenses decreased 53.3% to $2.3 million, driven by the earlier timing of new store openings this year versus last year.
|
| • |
Adjusted net income increased 16.4% to $85.4 million and adjusted net income per diluted share
increased 16.8% to $1.39.
|
| • |
The Company repurchased $33.6 million of common stock in the fourth quarter and $73.8 million of common stock for the fiscal year.

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, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA 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 GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table included in this press release, which sets forth the non-GAAP operating adjustments for
the 13-week and 52-week periods ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, which includes but is not limited to statements regarding industry trends, value creation, customer
trends, new stores, distribution centers, and various financial outlook figures, including new store openings, net sales, comparable store sales, gross margin, SG&A, operating income, net income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per
diluted share, effective tax rate, diluted weighted average shares outstanding and capital expenditures. All forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are subject to
the finalization of the Company’s quarterly financial and accounting procedures, and may be affected by certain risks and uncertainties, any one, or a combination, of which could materially affect the results of the Company’s operations.
Forward-looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as “could”, “may”, “might”, “will,” “likely”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “continues”, “projects”, “forecasts”, and
similar terminology. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. As with any business, all phases of our operations are subject to factors outside of our control. These factors include, without
limitation, the impact of the recent tariff announcements and the corresponding macroeconomic pressures and those factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Reports or Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company are based on knowledge of its business and the environment in which it operates, but because of the factors listed above, actual results could differ materially from
those reflected by any forward-looking statements. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made are qualified by these cautionary statements and those contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance that the results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to
or effects on the Company or its business and operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly
any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
