today announced its financial results for the fourteen and
fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024.
“We ended fiscal 2023 on a strong note,” said Bob Eddy, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Our membership
grew in robust fashion and we continue to retain members at
all-time high rates. We delivered impressive market share gains in
our clubs and at our gas pumps, driven by acceleration in traffic
and growth in units sold. We improved our merchandising and value
proposition meaningfully during the year and increasingly delivered
both with greater convenience through our digital offerings. We
also continued to grow our chain with six new clubs since the third

Impact of 53-Week Fiscal Year:
- The fourth quarter and full year results for fiscal 2023
included one additional week (the “53rd week”) compared to the
fourth quarter and full year results for fiscal 2022. Net sales and
net income for the 53rd week were approximately $353.4 million and
$13.4 million, respectively.
Additional Highlights:
- Total comparable club sales decreased by 0.4% in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal
2022. Excluding the impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales
increased by 0.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Comparable club sales decreased
by 1.0% in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. Excluding the
impact of gasoline sales, comparable club sales increased by 1.7%
in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.
- Gross profit increased to $963.3 million in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2023 from $903.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2022. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales
and membership fee income, decreased by 40 basis points over the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 as the Company continues to invest in
the business. The decrease was also driven by lower ancillary
income. Gross profit increased to $3.64 billion in fiscal 2023 from
$3.43 billion in fiscal 2022. Merchandise gross margin rate
increased by approximately 50 basis points over fiscal 2022.
Merchandise margins were positively impacted by moderated supply
chain costs and improved inventory management.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
increased to $741.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023
compared to $707.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
SG&A increased to $2.82 billion in fiscal 2023 compared to
$2.67 billion in fiscal 2022. The increase in both comparative
periods was primarily driven by increased labor, occupancy, and
depreciation expenses as a result of new club and gas station
openings in addition to other investments to drive strategic
priorities.
- Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased
to $198.4 million, or 3.7% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2023 compared to $176.5 million, or 3.6% of total
revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Income from
continuing operations before income taxes increased to $735.9
million, or 3.7% of total revenues, in fiscal 2023 compared to
$690.5 million, or 3.6% of total revenues, in fiscal 2022.
- Income tax expense increased to $52.6 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $47.1 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2022. Income tax expense increased to $212.2
million in fiscal 2023 compared to $176.3 million in fiscal 2022.
The increases in the income tax expense for both comparative
periods were driven by lower tax benefits from stock-based
compensation. Income tax expense for fiscal 2023 also increased due
to an immaterial adjustment to certain deferred tax assets related
to prior periods.
- Net income increased to $145.9 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2023 compared to $129.8 million in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2022. Net income increased to $523.7 million in fiscal 2023
compared to $513.2 million in fiscal 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8.9% to $290.7 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $267.0 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 7.2% to
$1.08 billion in fiscal 2023 compared to $1.01 billion in fiscal
2022. Fiscal year and fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA has been
recast to exclude pre-opening expenses and non-cash rent expense to
conform to the current period definition.
- Under its existing share repurchase program, the Company
repurchased 797,056 shares of common stock, totaling $53.2 million,
inclusive of associated costs, in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2023. In fiscal 2023, the Company repurchased 1,958,218 shares of
common stock, totaling $130.2 million, inclusive of associated
costs, under such program.
Fiscal 2024 Ending February 1, 2025 Outlook
“As we look to fiscal 2024, we continue to navigate macro-driven
uncertainty in the operating environment,” said Laura Felice,
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ’s Wholesale
Club. “We remain confident that our structural operating
advantages, continued focus on executing our strategic priorities,
and commitment to delivering great value to our members will drive
strong results for our business.”
The Company provided the following guidance for fiscal 2024:
- Comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales,
to increase 1% to 2% year-over-year
- Merchandise gross margins to improve approximately 20 basis
points year-over-year
- Adjusted EPS to range from $3.75 to $4.00
- Capital expenditures of approximately $500 million

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 and net debt to last
twelve months (“LTM”) adjusted EBITDA.
We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to
common stockholders adjusted for: acquisition and integration
costs; home office transition costs; impairment charges; charges
related to debt payments; restructuring; other adjustments and the
tax impact of the foregoing adjustments on net income.
We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the
weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.
We define adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations
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;
acquisition and integration costs; home office transition costs;
restructuring and other adjustments. Prior period adjusted EBITDA
presentations have been or will be recast to exclude pre-opening
expenses and non-cash rent expense.
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 in connection with establishing annual 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 2024
to net income per diluted share, which is the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, under "Fiscal 2024 Ending February 1,
2025" 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 2024 Ending February 1, 2025" 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.
