“The third quarter represented another strong performance by the Ulta Beauty team, as sales, gross profit, and diluted EPS all exceeded our internal expectations. Our traffic trends remained healthy, our brand awareness increased, and we expanded our loyalty program to a record 42.2 million members,” said Dave Kimbell, chief executive officer. “As we look to the future, the outlook for the Beauty category is bright, and I am confident Ulta Beauty has the right plans in place to delight our guests this holiday season, expand our leadership position in specialty beauty retail, and deliver long-term shareholder growth.”

Third Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Compared to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022

  • Net sales increased 6.4% to $2.5 billion compared to $2.3 billion, primarily due to increased comparable sales, strong new store performance, and strong growth in other revenue.
  • Comparable sales (sales for stores open at least 14 months and e-commerce sales) increased 4.5% compared to an increase of 14.6%, driven by a 5.9% increase in transactions and a 1.4% decrease in average ticket.
  • Gross profit increased 3.0% to $992.1 million compared to $962.8 million. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 39.9% compared to 41.2%, primarily due to lower merchandise margin, higher inventory shrink, and higher supply chain costs, partially offset by strong growth in other revenue.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 10.8% to $661.4 million compared to $597.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 26.6% compared to 25.5%, primarily due to higher corporate overhead due to strategic investments, higher store expenses, higher store payroll and benefits, and higher marketing expenses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.
  • Operating income was $327.2 million, or 13.1% of net sales, compared to $361.9 million, or 15.5% of net sales.
  • Net interest income increased to $2.5 million compared to $0.8 million, due to higher average interest rates on cash balances.
  • The tax rate remained flat at 24.3%.
  • Net income was $249.5 million compared to $274.6 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $5.07 compared to $5.34 (which included a $0.02 benefit due to income tax accounting for stock-based compensation).

First Nine Months of Fiscal 2023 Compared to First Nine Months of Fiscal 2022

  • Net sales increased 9.6% to $7.7 billion compared to $7.0 billion, primarily due to increased comparable sales, strong new store performance, and strong growth in other revenue.
  • Comparable sales increased 7.3% compared to an increase of 15.6%, driven by an 8.7% increase in transactions and a 1.4% decrease in average ticket.
  • Gross profit increased 7.4% to $3.0 billion compared to $2.8 billion. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 39.7% compared to 40.6%, primarily due to lower merchandise margin, higher inventory shrink, higher supply chain costs, and deleverage of salon expenses, partially offset by strong growth in other revenue and leverage of store fixed costs.
  • SG&A expenses increased 14.8% to $1.9 billion compared to $1.6 billion. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 24.5% compared to 23.4%, primarily due to higher corporate overhead due to strategic investments, higher store payroll and benefits, higher marketing expenses, and higher store expenses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.
  • Operating income was $1.16 billion, or 15.2% of net sales, compared to $1.19 billion, or 17.1% of net sales.
  • Net interest income increased to $14.3 million compared to $0.6 million, due to higher average interest rates on cash balances.
  • The tax rate decreased to 23.7% compared to 24.3%, primarily due to benefits from income tax accounting for stock-based compensation.
  • Net income was $896.6 million compared to $901.7 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $17.99, including a $0.14 benefit due to income tax accounting for stock-based compensation, compared to $17.35, including a $0.05 benefit due to income tax accounting for stock-based compensation.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 totaled $121.8 million.

Merchandise inventories, net at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 9.8% to $2.3 billion compared to $2.1 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to inventory to support expected demand, 31 net new stores, the new market fulfillment center in Greer, SC, new brand launches, and product cost increases.

Short-term debt at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $195.4 million, as the Company drew on its revolving credit facility to support ongoing capital allocation priorities, including share repurchases and capital expenditures, and merchandise inventory growth.

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 686,689 shares of its common stock at a cost of $281.5 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $840.5 million. As of October 28, 2023, $259.4 million remained available under the $2.0 billion share repurchase program announced in March 2022.
