Insights
The first quarter results for BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. show a modest growth in several key areas. Notably, comparable club sales rose by 1.6% year-over-year and when excluding gasoline sales, they increased by 0.6%. This indicates a relatively stable performance in their core business, though perhaps less aggressive than some might hope.
Digitally enabled sales growth of 21% year-over-year is a particularly strong point, illustrating that BJ's is effectively leveraging e-commerce to boost revenue. The 8.6% increase in membership fee income to
Despite these positives, there are some areas of concern. The merchandise gross margin rate decreased by 50 basis points, largely due to lower ancillary income and there was a 13.9% decline in operating income. This suggests that while sales have grown, profitability has taken a hit, possibly due to higher operating expenses and increased labor and occupancy costs.
In terms of income, net income decreased by 4.4% year-over-year to
From a retail investor's perspective, the results are a mixed bag. While sales and customer metrics are growing, profitability issues could indicate challenges in managing costs or extracting higher margins from sales. Investors should weigh these factors carefully, particularly in the context of broader economic conditions which could impact discretionary spending and overall retail performance.
The performance of BJ’s Wholesale Club in the first quarter highlights several trends in the retail sector. The steady rise in digitally enabled sales aligns with industry-wide shifts towards e-commerce and emphasizes the importance of digital strategies in capturing market share. The 21% growth here is indicative of successful digital initiatives, potentially positioning BJ’s as a competitive player in the increasingly digital retail landscape.
Membership fee income increased by 8.6%, which is a strong indicator of customer loyalty and reflects the value that customers see in BJ’s membership. This could bode well for future revenue stability, as stable membership income can help buffer against fluctuations in sales revenue. However, the decline in merchandise gross margin and the increase in SG&A expenses highlight challenges in maintaining cost efficiency while expanding operations.
New club and gas station openings suggest that BJ’s is investing in growth, although the immediate impact on profitability appears mixed. Investors should monitor how these new openings contribute to revenue and whether they help mitigate costs over the long term.
Moreover, the maintained outlook for fiscal 2024, as stated by CFO Laura Felice, provides a degree of certainty. Yet, given the mixed profitability results, the company's ability to manage costs and maintain margins will be important moving forward.
Overall, while BJ’s shows potential in growth areas like digital sales and membership, the challenges in cost management could pose risks. Retail investors should consider the balance between growth and profitability when evaluating their positions in BJ’s.

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 and net debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA.
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. Prior period adjusted net income presentations have been or will be recast to include the impact of restructuring charges.
We define adjusted EPS 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; restructuring and other adjustments. Prior period adjusted EBITDA presentations have been or will be recast to exclude pre-opening expenses and non-cash rent expense, and include the impact of restructuring charges.
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 in connection with establishing annual 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 2024 to net income per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, under "Fiscal 2024 Ending February 1, 2025" 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 2024 Ending February 1, 2025" 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.
