BURLINGTON, N.J., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel, footwear, accessories, and merchandise for the home at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the first quarter ended May 3, 2025.

Michael O'Sullivan, CEO, stated, "Total Sales increased 6% and Comparable Store Sales were Flat for the first quarter, in line with the midpoint of our guidance. Adjusted EBIT Margin and EPS were ahead of guidance with approximately half of this beat to guidance coming from favorable timing of expenses that will negatively impact Q2."

Mr. O'Sullivan continued, "The environment has become more uncertain since March, especially with regard to tariffs. We anticipate that tariffs will put significant pressure on our merchandise margin, but we are confident that, as long as tariffs do not increase from current levels, we can offset this pressure elsewhere in the P&L. These offsets, together with our Q1 earnings favorability, provide a path to achieving our original guidance."

Mr. O'Sullivan added, "The changing landscape of tariffs creates risks and opportunities for our business. We have many advantages that traditional retailers do not have. We can move more rapidly and more flexibly. The next several months could be challenging but, if we navigate this well, then we expect to come out ahead."

Mr. O'Sullivan concluded, "It is important to look through the short-term disruption caused by tariffs. Whatever level tariffs settle at, vendors will adjust and relocate to the lowest cost source of production. We do not believe that tariffs are going to change the longer-term structural dynamics of the retail industry. These dynamics are driving the growth of off-price retail and our business. We are excited by and focused on our long-term Full Potential."

On May 20, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million of common stock, which is authorized to be executed through May 2027.

Outlook

For Fiscal Year 2025 (the 52-weeks ending January 31, 2026), the Company now expects:  

Total sales to increase in the range of 6% to 8% on top of the 11% increase during Fiscal 2024; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 0% to 2%, on top of the 4% increase during Fiscal 2024;
Capital expenditures, net of landlord allowances, to be approximately $950 million;
To open approximately 100 net new stores; 
Depreciation and amortization to be approximately $385 million; 
Adjusted EBIT margin to increase in the range of 0 to 30 basis points versus Fiscal 2024; excludes $33 million of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in Fiscal 2025 and $16 million in Fiscal 2024;
Net interest expense to be approximately $57 million; 
An Adjusted Effective Tax Rate of approximately 25%; and
Adjusted EPS in the range of $8.70 to $9.30, as compared to $8.35 of Adjusted EPS last year; excludes $25 million, net of tax, of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in Fiscal 2025 and $12 million in Fiscal 2024. This assumes a fully diluted share count of approximately 64 million shares.

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 (the 13-weeks ending May 3, 2025), the Company expects: 

Total sales to increase in the range of 5% to 7%; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 0% to 2% versus the second quarter of Fiscal 2024;
Adjusted EBIT margin to be in the range of down 30 basis points to flat versus the second quarter of Fiscal 2024; excludes approximately $11 million of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $3 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024;
An effective tax rate of approximately 24%; and 
Adjusted EPS in the range of $1.20 to $1.30, as compared to $1.24 in Adjusted EPS last year; excludes $8 million, net of tax, of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $2 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024.

The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The foregoing discussion of the Company's operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted EBIT Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these supplemental measures are useful in evaluating the performance of our business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. In particular, we believe that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what we consider to be our core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.  These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures later in this document.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

The following tables calculate the Company's Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, all of which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) costs related to debt amendments; (iii) impairment charges; (iv) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (v) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) costs related to debt amendments; (iv) income tax expense; (v) depreciation and amortization; (vi) net favorable lease costs (vii) impairment charges; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) costs related to debt amendments; (iv) income tax expense; (v) impairment charges; (vi) net favorable lease costs; (vii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (viii) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by net sales.

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs, favorable lease costs and amounts related to certain litigation matters.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (f) in the table below).

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income), Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin), Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company's business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company's ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company's operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company's calculation may not be directly comparable.
