Dillard's, Inc. reported a net income of $129.8 million for the three months ended November 1, 2025, reflecting an increase from $124.6 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share rose to $8.31, up from $7.73. For the nine-month period, net income totaled $366.5 million, slightly down from $379.1 million in the prior year. The company's net sales for the third quarter reached $1.47 billion, a 3% increase from $1.43 billion in the previous year, while year-to-date sales were $4.51 billion, up from $4.47 billion.
The company experienced a notable increase in retail gross margin, which improved to 45.3% of sales compared to 44.5% in the prior year’s third quarter. This increase was attributed to better inventory management and a focus on higher-margin product categories. Selling, general, and administrative expenses rose to $440.4 million, or 30% of sales, compared to $418.9 million, or 29.4% of sales, in the previous year, primarily due to increased payroll and related expenses.
Dillard's continues to adapt its business strategy, including a transition to a new private label credit card program with Citibank, which replaced the previous partnership with Wells Fargo. This change is expected to impact future income from service charges and other income, which decreased by $1.9 million in the third quarter compared to the previous year. The company also reported a decrease in construction segment sales, which fell by approximately 4% due to reduced activity.
As of November 1, 2025, Dillard's operated 272 stores, including 28 clearance centers, and maintained a strong cash position with $1.15 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The company announced a special dividend of $30.00 per share, payable on January 5, 2026, to stockholders of record as of December 12, 2025. Looking ahead, Dillard's management remains cautious about potential impacts from inflation and trade restrictions but is optimistic about maintaining sales momentum through the holiday season and beyond.
