(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) Thirteen Weeks Ended % Growth (Decline) May 2, 2026 May 3, 2025 Net sales $ 5,529,145 $ 5,033,094 9.9 % Membership fee income 132,355 120,389 9.9 % Total revenues 5,661,500 5,153,483 9.9 % Operating income 207,913 203,645 2.1 % Net income 142,726 149,768 (4.7 )% EPS (b) 1.10 1.13 (2.7 )% Adjusted net income (a) 142,726 150,875 (5.4 )% Adjusted EPS (a) 1.10 1.14 (3.5 )% Adjusted EBITDA (a) 298,070 285,836 4.3 % Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 128,650 131,569 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 129,383 132,749 (a) See “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information.”
(b) EPS represents net income per diluted share. Additional Highlights: Total comparable club sales increased by 6.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales increased by 1.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Membership fee income increased to $132.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $120.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by strength in membership acquisition, retention and higher-tier membership penetration across both new and existing clubs. Gross profit increased to $1.03 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $969.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased by approximately 10 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by the Company’s continued investments in pricing partially offset by tariff refund benefits recognized in the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $806.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $760.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased labor, occupancy, and operational costs mainly as a result of new club and gas station openings. Additionally, an increase in the number of owned clubs has resulted in increased depreciation expense year-over-year. Income tax expense increased to $52.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $42.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by an increase in income before income taxes and lower tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Net income decreased to $142.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $149.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4.3% to $298.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $285.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Under its existing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 2,114,000 shares of common stock, totaling $206.6 million, inclusive of associated costs, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Approximately $545.0 million remained available to purchase under such program. Fiscal 2026 Ending January 30, 2027 Outlook “Our first quarter performance reflects disciplined execution and continued investment in the business. We delivered solid profitability while growing membership fee income and maintaining our focus on cost management,” said Laura Felice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “As we look ahead, our guidance for fiscal 2026 is unchanged, and we remain confident in our ability to invest for long-term growth and deliver sustainable, profitable results.” On March 5, 2026, the Company provided the following guidance for fiscal 2026: Comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, to increase 2.0% to 3.0% year-over-year Adjusted EPS to range from $4.40 to $4.60 Capital expenditures of approximately $800 million, reflecting continued investment in new club openings and enhancements across our distribution network, including the ambient distribution center Conference Call Details A conference call to discuss the first quarter of fiscal 2026 financial results is scheduled for today, May 22, 2026, at 8:30 A.M.

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. We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income 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. 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 and adjusted EPS in connection with establishing annual and long-term 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 2026 to net income per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, under “Fiscal 2026 Ending January 30, 2027” 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 2026 Ending January 30, 2027” 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.

Additional Highlights:
Total comparable club sales increased by 1.6% and 1.0% in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2024. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales increased by 2.6% in each of the fourth quarter and fiscal 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2024.
Membership fee income increased to $129.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 from $117.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Membership fee income increased to $499.8 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $456.5 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily driven by strength in membership acquisition, retention, and higher tier membership penetration across both new and existing clubs, as well as the increase in annual membership fees, which became effective in January 2025.
Gross profit increased to $1.01 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 from $949.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased by approximately 50 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by changes in merchandise mix. Gross profit increased to $4.00 billion in fiscal 2025 from $3.76 billion in fiscal 2024. Merchandise gross margin rate remained flat compared to fiscal 2024. The Company continues to manage the business to drive profitable growth across the broader merchandise assortment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $818.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $758.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. SG&A increased to $3.15 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to $2.96 billion in fiscal 2024. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily driven by increased labor, occupancy, and operational costs mainly as a result of new club and gas station openings. Additionally, an increase in the number of owned clubs has resulted in increased depreciation expense year-over-year. During fiscal 2024, the Company benefitted from the net impact of legal settlements reached of approximately $20 million, which contributed to the increase in SG&A expenses year-over-year.
Income tax expense decreased to $41.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $43.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily driven by a gain recognized on transferable tax credits, partially offset by lower tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Income tax expense increased to $195.8 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $186.4 million in fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an increase in income before income taxes and lower tax benefits from stock-based compensation, partially offset by gains recognized on transferable tax credits.
Net income increased to $125.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $122.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Net income increased to $578.4 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $534.4 million in fiscal 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 0.7% to $266.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $264.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 6.1% to $1.16 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to $1.09 billion in fiscal 2024.
Under its existing share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 1,264,000 shares of common stock, totaling $117.7 million, inclusive of associated costs, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased 2,599,000 shares of common stock, totaling $252.4 million, inclusive of associated costs, under such program, and $749.7 million remained available to purchase.
Fiscal 2026 Ending January 30, 2027 Outlook

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, net debt to last twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA, and comparable club sales.
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.
We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income 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.
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 and adjusted EPS in connection with establishing annual and long-term 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 2026 to net income per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, under “Fiscal 2026 Ending January 30, 2027” 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 2026 Ending January 30, 2027” 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.
