Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, revealing a net sales increase of 5.4% to $1.17 billion, compared to $1.11 billion in the same period last year. The company's gross profit rose to $355.1 million, reflecting a 3.0% increase, although the gross margin decreased to 30.4% from 31.1% due to pricing adjustments aimed at maintaining competitiveness. The company recorded a net income of $11.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, down from $24.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, Grocery Outlet experienced a net loss of $6.8 million, contrasting with a net income of $37.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2024.
The company’s selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 8.7% to $331.0 million, driven by higher store-related costs and corporate expenses. Notably, restructuring charges of $1.3 million were incurred during the quarter as part of a broader restructuring plan initiated in fiscal 2024, which aims to enhance profitability and optimize store growth. The restructuring plan has led to the termination of leases for 28 planned stores and a reduction in headcount by approximately 40 employees.
Operationally, Grocery Outlet opened 13 new stores during the quarter, bringing the total to 563 locations across 16 states. Comparable store sales increased by 1.2%, supported by a 1.8% rise in transaction volume, although this was partially offset by a 0.6% decline in average transaction size. The company continues to focus on expanding its footprint and enhancing customer loyalty through the introduction of private label products, which have seen approximately 400 new SKUs launched since their introduction.
Looking ahead, Grocery Outlet anticipates ongoing challenges from macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and supply chain disruptions, which may impact consumer spending and operational costs. The company is also closely monitoring the effects of the ongoing U.S. government shutdown on customer assistance programs, which could influence sales. Despite these challenges, Grocery Outlet remains committed to its growth strategy, including the planned opening of 37 net new stores in fiscal 2025 and continued investment in technology and supply chain improvements.
