Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Rallies After Earnings Beat and Higher Full-Year Profit Forecast (OLLI)June 3, 2026 9:51 AM
IH Market News Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:OLLI) shares climbed 5.4% in premarket trading after the discount retailer reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings and raised its profit outlook for fiscal 2026. The results highlighted continued customer demand, margin expansion and disciplined cost management despite a challenging retail environment. Earnings Outperform Expectations For the quarter ended May 2, Ollie’s posted adjusted earnings of $0.91 per share, exceeding analyst forecasts of $0.87. Revenue increased 14% year over year to $658.9 million, compared with $576.8 million in the same period last year. While sales came in slightly below Wall Street expectations of $662.3 million, investors focused on the stronger profitability and improved outlook. Company Raises Fiscal 2026 Guidance Management lifted its adjusted earnings per share forecast for fiscal 2026 to a range of $4.45 to $4.55. The updated guidance compares with the previous outlook of $4.40 to $4.50 and raises the midpoint forecast to $4.50 from $4.45. The increase reflects management’s confidence in the company’s operating performance and growth strategy. Comparable Sales and Margins Improve Comparable-store sales increased 1.7% during the quarter, driven primarily by higher average transaction values. Gross margin expanded by 80 basis points to 41.9%, outperforming expectations as a result of lower supply-chain expenses and modest improvements in merchandise margins. The stronger profitability demonstrated the company’s ability to manage costs effectively while maintaining its value-oriented pricing strategy. Store Expansion Continues at a Rapid Pace Ollie’s continued to expand its physical footprint during the quarter, opening 27 new locations. At quarter-end, the retailer operated 672 stores across 35 states, representing approximately 15% growth compared with the prior year. The ongoing expansion remains a key component of the company’s long-term growth strategy. Management Highlights Resilient Business Model President and Chief Executive Officer Eric van der Valk pointed to the company’s ability to deliver growth despite ongoing pressure on consumers. “We delivered strong earnings growth driven by solid top line results and unit growth, robust margins, and disciplined expense control,” said Eric van der Valk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These results underscore the durability of our business model, the strength of our value proposition, and our ability to execute through a challenging consumer backdrop.” Loyalty Program and Share Repurchases Gain Momentum The company’s Ollie’s Army loyalty program continued to expand, with membership rising 13% year over year to 17.5 million members. Ollie’s also returned capital to shareholders through its share repurchase program, buying back 542,486 shares for approximately $53.4 million during the quarter. Reflecting confidence in its financial position, the company increased its planned fiscal 2026 share repurchases to roughly $125 million, up from its previous target of $100 million. The combination of stronger earnings, expanding margins, continued store growth and an enhanced capital return program helped reinforce investor confidence in the retailer’s outlook.

Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $549.8 million, a 9.7% increase compared with net sales of $501.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales was the result of new store unit growth in addition to a comparable store sales increase of 3.0%.

Gross profit increased 12.8% to $206.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $183.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin increased 110 basis points to 37.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from 36.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in gross margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 is primarily due to lower supply chain costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 10.0% to $131.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $119.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the gains from the insurance settlements of $0.9 million and $0.1 million in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively, adjusted SG&A increased 10.7% to $131.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $119.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. This increase was primarily driven by higher selling expenses associated with our new store unit growth, as well as investments in wages and higher utility costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, exclusive of the insurance settlement gains, increased 20 basis points to 24.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from 23.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Operating income totaled $67.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, a 17.8% increase from operating income of $57.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the gains from the insurance settlements, adjusted operating income(1) increased 16.5% to $66.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $57.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted operating margin(1) increased 70 basis points to 12.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from 11.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to the increase in gross margin driven by lower supply chain costs and new store unit growth.

Net income increased 18.7% to $53.1 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with net income of $44.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 included a benefit of $0.00 and $0.01, respectively, due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these benefits and the after-tax gains from the insurance settlements, increased 19.5% to $52.4 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from $43.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $77.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, increasing 16.8% from $66.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) increased 80 basis points to 14.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 from 13.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the gains from the insurance settlements.


Fiscal 2022 Results

Net sales totaled $1.827 billion in fiscal 2022, an increase of 4.2%, compared with net sales of $1.753 billion in fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales was the result of new store unit growth, partially offset by the decline in comparable store sales of 3.0% compared to prior year.

Gross profit decreased 3.7% to $656.1 million in fiscal 2022 from $681.2 million in fiscal 2021. Gross margin decreased 300 basis points to 35.9% in fiscal 2022 from 38.9% in fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross margin in fiscal 2022 is due to increased supply chain costs, primarily the result of higher import and trucking costs and, to a lesser extent, higher wage rates in the Company’s distribution centers.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 9.6% to $490.6 million in fiscal 2022 from $447.6 million in fiscal 2021. Excluding the gains from the insurance settlements of $0.9 million and $0.4 million in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively, adjusted SG&A increased 9.7% to $491.5 million in fiscal 2022 from $448.0 million in fiscal 2021. This increase was primarily driven by higher selling expenses associated with our new store unit growth, as well as investments in wages and higher utility costs, partially offset by tight expense controls throughout the organization. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, exclusive of the insurance settlement gains, increased 130 basis points to 26.9% in fiscal 2022 from 25.6% in fiscal 2021.

Operating income totaled $130.9 million in fiscal 2022, a 36.0% decrease from operating income of $204.6 million in fiscal 2021. Adjusted operating income(1), which excludes gains from insurance settlements of $0.9 million and $0.4 million in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively, decreased 36.3% to $130.0 million in fiscal 2022 compared with $204.2 million in fiscal 2021. Adjusted operating margin(1) decreased 450 basis points to 7.1% in fiscal 2022 from 11.6% in fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of the decrease in gross margin and the de-leverage of fixed expenses resulting from the decrease in comparable store sales.

Net income decreased 34.7% to $102.8 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, in fiscal 2022 from $157.5 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, in fiscal 2021. Diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 included a benefit of $0.00 and $0.06, respectively, due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes these benefits and the after-tax gains from the insurance settlements, decreased 33.4% to $101.8 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, in fiscal 2022 from $152.9 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, in fiscal 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA (1) totaled $168.9 million in fiscal 2022, a 28.8% decrease from $237.3 million in fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) decreased 430 basis points to 9.2% in fiscal 2022 from 13.5% in fiscal 2021.


Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $270.8 million as of the end of fiscal 2022 compared with cash and cash equivalents of $247.0 million as of the end of fiscal 2021. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $100 million revolving credit facility and $87.0 million of availability under the facility as of the end of fiscal 2022. The Company ended the period with total borrowings, consisting solely of finance lease obligations, of $1.3 million.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company invested $11.9 million of cash to repurchase 245,328 shares of its common stock, resulting in $41.8 million invested in fiscal 2022.

Inventories as of the end of fiscal 2022 increased 0.7% to $470.5 million compared with $467.3 million as of the end of fiscal 2021, driven by new store unit growth partially offset by the impact of lower freight costs and a normalization of lead times on our in-transit inventory.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2022, primarily for new and existing stores and the expansion of the Company’s distribution center in York, PA, totaled $51.7 million compared with $35.0 million in fiscal 2021.


Fiscal 2023 Outlook

The Company estimates the following for the 53-week fiscal year ending February 3, 2024:

For full-year fiscal 2023:

Total net sales of $2.036 billion to $2.058 billion;
Comparable store sales increase ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%;
The opening of 45 new stores, less 1 closure;
Full year gross margin in the range of 39.1% to 39.3%;
Operating income of $205 million to $213 million;
Adjusted net income(2) of $156 million to $163 million and adjusted earnings per share(2) of $2.49 to $2.58, both of which exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;
An annual effective tax rate of 25%, which excludes excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 63 million; and
Capital expenditures of $125 million, primarily for the construction of our fourth distribution center and the expansion of the Company’s York, PA distribution center, as well as new stores, store-level initiatives, and IT projects.
(2) The guidance ranges as provided for adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as the Company cannot predict such estimates without unreasonable effort.

Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLLI) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 29, 2022.
Third Quarter Summary:

Total net sales increased 9.0% to $418.1 million.
Comparable store sales increased 1.9%.
The Company opened 15 new stores and closed one store, ending the quarter with 463 stores in 29 states, a year-over-year increase in store count of 8.7%.
Operating income decreased 2.3% to $29.5 million and operating margin decreased 80 basis points to 7.1%.
Net income was $23.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, as compared with $23.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Adjusted net income(1) was $23.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, as compared with prior year adjusted net income of $22.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 4.1% to $39.5 million and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) decreased 50 basis points to 9.4%.
John Swygert, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the quarter, we delivered a significant improvement in our gross profit margin rate compared to our first half performance. Our results reflect another positive comparable store sales report with a 1.9% increase over last year. While we are pleased with the underlying sales trends, we did experience a softness in sales the last two weeks of October, which impacted our overall results for the quarter.”

“Although we have seen an improvement in sales trends since October, we are operating in a highly promotional and inflationary environment. Despite these challenging times, we are going to control what we can control, staying laser focused on running a great business. We are built for this and believe we are well positioned to deliver great deals to our customers and drive long-term shareholder value,” Mr. Swygert concluded.

Third Quarter Results

Net sales increased 9.0% to $418.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared with net sales of $383.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in net sales was the result of a comparable store sales increase of 1.9% in addition to new store unit growth.

Gross profit increased 7.9% to $164.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $152.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 39.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 39.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 is primarily related to increased supply chain costs and a slight decrease in the merchandise margin.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 9.4% to $124.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $114.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily driven by an increased number of stores and higher selling costs. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased 20 basis points to 29.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 29.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily related to deleveraging on fixed expenses primarily due to higher selling costs, partially offset by continued tight expense controls.

Pre-opening expenses for new stores increased to $4.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due to the timing of new stores. As a percentage of net sales, pre-opening expenses increased 20 basis points to 1.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Operating income decreased 2.3% to $29.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $30.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Operating margin decreased 80 basis points to 7.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 7.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to the decrease in gross margin due to higher supply chain costs, a slightly lower merchandise margin, and higher selling costs as noted above.

Net income decreased 0.4% to $23.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with net income of $23.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted net income(1), which excludes excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation, increased 4.6% to $23.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $22.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 4.1% to $39.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $37.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) decreased 50 basis points to 9.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 9.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and gives effect to gains from insurance settlements.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $182.1 million compared with $229.7 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $100 million revolving credit facility and $92.7 million of availability under the facility as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company ended the period with total borrowings, consisting solely of finance lease obligations, of $1.5 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Inventories as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 11.0% to $523.7 million compared with $471.8 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, with the change attributable to increased number of stores, the timing of merchandise receipts, and increased supply chain costs.

Capital expenditures in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $15.2 million compared with $11.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company invested $20.0 million of cash to repurchase 364,320 shares of its common stock. As of the end of the third quarter, the Company had $150.0 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

The Company estimates the following:

For full-year fiscal 2022 updated to reflect its third quarter results, now estimating the following:

Total net sales of $1.817 billion to $1.827 billion;
Comparable store sales ranging from -3.8% to -3.3%;
The opening of 40 new stores, less two relocations and one closure;
Gross margin of approximately 36.1% to 36.2%
Operating income of $129.5 million to $133.5 million;
Adjusted net income(2) of $98.8 million to $101.8 million and adjusted net income per diluted share(2) of $1.57 to $1.62, both of which exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;
An effective tax rate of 24.0%, which excludes excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation;
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 63.0 million; and

Capital expenditures in the range of $55 million, primarily for new stores, the expansion of the Company’s York, PA distribution center, costs related to our fourth distribution center, store-level initiatives, and IT projects.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022:

Total net sales of $540.0 million to $550.0 million;
Comparable store sales ranging from flat to 2.0%;
Gross margin of approximately 38.2% to 38.4%;
Operating income of $66.0 million to $70.0 million; and
Adjusted net income(2) of $49.0 million to $52.0 million and adjusted net income per diluted share(2) of $0.78 to $0.83, both of which exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
(2) The guidance ranges as provided for adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation as the Company cannot predict such estimates without unreasonable effort.

Supplemental Information

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in thousands)

(Unaudited)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. We have included the non-GAAP measures of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share in this press release as these are key measures used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting decisions, and evaluate compensation decisions. Management believes it is useful to investors and analysts to evaluate these non-GAAP measures on the same basis as management uses to evaluate the Company’s operating results. We believe that excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude from net income and net income per diluted share, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP financial measures: operating income to adjusted operating income, net income to adjusted net income, net income per diluted share to adjusted net income per diluted share, and net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share exclude excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, which may not occur with the same frequency or magnitude in future periods. We define EBITDA as net income before net interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet $OLLI Is Still Not On Sale, Here’s The Buy Level

In late August, the shares of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:OLLI) tumbled after reporting earnings that failed to impress Wall Street. The stock topped out in May 2019 at $103.03 a share. Since that high pivot, the share have plunged by nearly 45.0%. Currently, OLLI stock is trading around the $57.50 level. While many traders and investors are thinking that a bottom has been made the stock it still trades below its 50 and 100-week moving averages. This tells me that the stock is still in a weak technical position on the charts. The important 200-week moving average has not been tested yet as it sits around the $52.73 level, but the longer the stock trades sideways above that area the more that moving average becomes minor support on the charts. My key buy level for OLLI stock will be around the $45.00 area. This important level is where the stock broke out in December 2017. As many of you know by now, I like stocks that retest their old break-out levels. These levels are usually defended by the institutional crowd.

$OLLI pps@25.17..Private-equity firm CCMP Capital Advisors got a good deal in its 2014 buyout of Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc.

The New York firm sold its remaining stake in Ollie's in a $358 million stock offering this week, capping a 2.7-times return on its investment, or an annual return of 35% before fees, according to an investor letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

Harrisburg, Penn.-based Ollie's, known for its catch-phrase "Good Stuff Cheap," operates about 216 stores selling other consumer companies' excess inventory and "salvage" merchandise--such as undamaged inventory from businesses that suffered fires or flooding. The company has posted double-digit gains in sales and profits as of late, helped by a growing footprint and increasing revenue at existing stores.

As a result, Ollie's has seen its shares gain 57% since its July 2015 initial public offering, making it one of the better-performing retail stocks in that timeframe.

CCMP, founded by executives from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s former private-equity arm, is known for consumer-sector bets. Since its 2006 founding it has backed food-services company Aramark and outdoor retailer Cabela's Inc., among others.

Since the financial crisis, the firm has scored with bets on value-conscious consumers, such as retailer Francesca's Holdings Corp. and British low-cost fitness chain PureGym Ltd.
