Winmark Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
Winmark (Nasdaq: WINA) reported net income of $10,431,400 or $2.85 per share diluted for Q2 2024, compared to $10,368,800 or $2.85 per share diluted in 2023. For the first half of 2024, net income was $19,250,400 or $5.26 per share diluted, slightly down from $19,311,500 or $5.34 per share diluted in the same period last year.
The company's performance was influenced by its decision to run off its leasing portfolio, made in May 2021. CEO Brett D. Heffes noted that year-to-date royalty growth was driven by an increased store count and improved per-unit performance. Winmark, known as 'the Resale Company', operates 1,336 franchises across five brands: Plato's Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports, Style Encore, and Music Go Round. An additional 77 franchises have been awarded but are not yet operational.

Over the six-month period ending June 29, 2024, net income was
It's noteworthy that royalty growth was driven by an increase in overall store count and enhanced unit-level performance. As of June 29, 2024, 1,336 franchises were operational, with 77 new franchises awarded but not yet open.
For investors, the stable EPS and solid royalty growth reflect consistent performance. In the short term, phasing out the leasing portfolio could slightly depress earnings, but in the long term, focusing on franchising could drive profitability. The continuous expansion of franchise numbers signals growth potential.
“Year-to-date growth in royalties resulted from higher overall store count and, to a lesser extent, increases in per unit performance,” commented Brett D. Heffes, Chair and Chief Executive Officer.
