Filing receipts
“The decline in comparable store sales was primarily driven by softness in seasonal categories, including big ticket, and continued below-average performance in the companion animal category, reflecting softer demand trends, category shifts and an unfavorable product mix.”
“This increase was primarily attributable to disciplined product cost management and tariff-related benefits, partially offset by higher freight expense and incremental investments to strengthen the Company's price-value position.”
“Partially offsetting the increase in total capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment increased in the first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily driven by the sale of both new, fixed-fee development stores and existing stores as part of our sale-leaseback program.”
