Filing receipts

The increases in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were primarily due to improved acquisition costs and distribution operating efficiencies, partially offset by a greater percentage of our total sales mix being generated from professional service provider customers, which carry a lower gross margin percentage than DIY sales. ​ Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 8% to $1.53 billion (or 31.3% of sales) from $1.41 billion (or 31.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago.

The Company recorded compensation expense for these other share-based compensation plans in the amount of $ 3.5 million and $ 4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which were primarily included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. ​ Benefit Plans: The Company sponsors a contributory profit sharing and savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) that covers substantially all employees who are at least 21 years of age and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for highly compensated employees whose contributions to the 401(k) Plan are limited due to the...

As a result of the impacts discussed above, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased 10% to $1.83 billion (or 19.3% of sales) from $1.66 billion (or 19.1% of sales) for the same period one year ago. ​ 18 Other Income and Expense: Total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 16% to $62 million (or 1.3% of sales) from $53 million (or 1.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago.
