The company's digital transformation continues to drive growth, with same-store digital sales increasing 9%, significantly outpacing overall same-store performance. This digital acceleration provides a competitive advantage in the evolving grocery landscape.

While gross profit margin contracted slightly to 28.35% from 28.40% due to increased promotional activity, the company demonstrated excellent operational discipline by reducing operating and administrative expenses to 23.22% of sales from 23.71%.

The balance sheet shows improving health with decreased interest expense from lower debt balances. Year-to-date performance remains strong with net income of $29.7 million, up 14%, and total sales growth of 4.1%.

The company's strategic investments in store renovation and digital capabilities appear to be delivering returns, as evidenced by continued growth in recently remodeled locations and the contribution from the replacement store in Old Bridge, NJ.

Sales were $599.7 million in the 13 weeks ended January 25, 2025 compared to $575.6 million in the 13 weeks ended January 27, 2024. Sales increased due to an increase in same store sales of 2.3% and the opening of the Old Bridge, NJ replacement store on March 17, 2024. Same store sales increased due primarily to digital sales growth, continued growth in recently remodeled stores, higher pharmacy sales and inflation in the meat and dairy departments.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.35% in the 13 weeks ended January 25, 2025 compared to 28.40% in the 13 weeks ended January 27, 2024 due primarily to higher promotional spending (.16%), an unfavorable change in product mix (.14%) and decreased patronage dividends and rebates received from Wakefern (.02%) partially offset by increased departmental gross margin percentages (.17%), decreased warehouse assessment charges from Wakefern (.06%) and lower LIFO charges (.04%). Gross profit in both the 13 weeks ended January 25, 2025 and the 13 weeks ended January 27, 2024 was favorably impacted by receipt of patronage dividends from Wakefern greater than estimated amounts accrued in both the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (.62%) and 2024 (.58%).

Operating and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.22% in the 13 weeks ended January 25, 2025 compared to 23.71% in the 13 weeks ended January 27, 2024 due primarily to lower facility insurance costs (.12%), decreased legal and consulting fees (.13%), sales leverage on occupancy and facility costs (.07%), reduced supply (.07%), employee costs (.06%) and security spends (.05%).

Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly in the 13 weeks ended January 25, 2025 compared the 13 weeks ended January 27, 2024 due primarily to the timing of capital expenditures.
