Insights

Ollie's Q1 shows strong execution with 13.4% sales growth, accelerated store expansion, and healthy cash position despite margin pressures.

Ollie's delivered a robust quarter with $576.8 million in sales, increasing 13.4% year-over-year. The growth was driven by an impressive 25 new store openings (including 18 former Big Lots locations) and a 2.6% comparable store sales increase from higher transaction volumes. This expansion strategy accelerated their footprint to 584 stores, representing 13.2% year-over-year unit growth.

Profitability metrics show a more nuanced picture. While gross margin remained flat at 41.1%, the company faced SG&A deleverage with expenses rising to 28.6% of sales (up 60 basis points) due to higher medical and casualty claims. Pre-opening expenses surged by $3.9 million to $6.7 million, including $1.8 million in dark rent from bankruptcy-acquired locations. Despite these pressures, adjusted earnings per share reached $0.75, exceeding expectations.

The company's balance sheet remains exceptionally strong with $414.9 million in total cash and investments, up 21.5% year-over-year. This financial flexibility supported $17.1 million in share repurchases during the quarter, with $315.5 million remaining in the authorization.

Most importantly, management reaffirmed their fiscal 2025 guidance, projecting 75 new stores, sales between $2.579-$2.599 billion, and adjusted EPS of $3.65-$3.75. The company is clearly executing its value-oriented strategy effectively, capturing consumers seeking bargains while capitalizing on retail industry disruption to accelerate store growth. Their operating model provides significant flexibility in the current choppy retail environment, positioning them well against competitors.

Ollie's aggressive expansion strategy leverages retail market disruption while maintaining strong operational performance in challenging environment.

Ollie's strategic opportunism is on full display this quarter, with the company brilliantly capitalizing on retail sector weakness to accelerate expansion. The acquisition of 18 former Big Lots locations through bankruptcy auction represents a tactical masterstroke that would typically take multiple quarters to achieve. This move not only accelerates their physical footprint but does so with likely favorable lease terms while minimizing competitive overlap.

The 9.2% growth in Ollie's Army loyalty membership to 15.5+ million members is particularly noteworthy. This expanding customer base represents a critical competitive moat in the value retail sector, providing both data insights and a committed shopping audience. The transaction-driven comparable store growth of 2.6% indicates their value proposition is resonating with inflation-weary consumers seeking bargains.

The company's operational resilience is evident in their ability to maintain gross margin at 41.1% despite mix shifts. Their countercyclical business model - which thrives on inventory dislocations and supplier distress - positions them ideally for the current retail environment. As traditional retailers struggle with inventory management, Ollie's can access quality merchandise at advantageous prices.

Management's commentary about their "unique operating model" providing "flexibility" in a "choppy environment" signals their confidence in navigating potential economic headwinds. Their cash-rich position ($414.9 million) serves as both defensive insurance and offensive capital for continued opportunistic real estate acquisitions, inventory purchases, and shareholder returns. The unchanged annual guidance despite Q1 outperformance suggests appropriate conservatism given persistent retail industry challenges and potential consumer spending constraints ahead.
