Third Quarter Results
Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are between the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2023, and the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022.
Consolidated net sales increased 5.4% to $7.31 billion. Enterprise same-store net sales increased 3.9%, driven by a 4.7% increase in traffic, partially offset by a 0.8% decline in average ticket. Dollar Tree same-store net sales increased 5.4%, driven by a 7.0% increase in traffic, partially offset by a 1.5% decline in average ticket. Family Dollar’s 2.0% same-store net sales increase was comprised of a 1.4% increase in traffic and a 0.7% increase in average ticket.
Gross profit increased 4.9% to $2.17 billion and gross margin declined 20 basis points to 29.7%. The gross margin decline was driven by unfavorable sales mix, elevated shrink, product cost inflation, the product recall, and wage investments in distribution center payroll, partially offset by lower freight.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.7% of total revenue, compared to 24.4%. The increase was primarily due to labor investments in store and field payroll, higher information technology system costs, investments in repairs and maintenance, higher utility costs, and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by sales leverage.
Operating income was $301.7 million and operating margin was 4.1%.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.8%, compared to 23.4%.
Net income was $212.0 million and diluted EPS was $0.97.
The Company repurchased 2,176,886 shares for $252.3 million, including applicable excise tax.

Dollar Tree same-store net sales increased 5.6%, driven by a 7.5% increase in traffic, partially offset by a 1.8% decline in average ticket. Family Dollar’s 4.8% same-store net sales increase was comprised of a 3.0% increase in traffic along with a 1.7% increase in average ticket.
Gross profit was flat at $6.5 billion and gross margin declined 190 basis points to 29.8%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.2% of total revenue, compared to 23.9%.

Portfolio Optimization Review
The company has initiated a comprehensive review of its Family Dollar portfolio to address stores that are not aligned with its transformative vision for the company.
Updated Fiscal 2023 Outlook
“Our full-year 2023 diluted EPS outlook incorporates our third quarter results and fourth quarter expectations that are consistent with those contained in our previous earnings update. Our current outlook takes into consideration several factors including continuing strength at the Dollar Tree banner, incremental freight savings, softer demand from low-income households, and a continuation of the shrink and sales mix headwinds we have seen throughout the year. It excludes any potential impact from the Family Dollar portfolio review,” Davis added.
Fiscal 2023 Outlook
Consolidated net sales for full-year fiscal 2023 are now expected to range from $30.5 billion to $30.7 billion. The Company expects to deliver a mid-single-digit comparable store net sales increase for the year, comprised of a mid-single-digit increase in the Dollar Tree segment and a low-single-digit increase in the Family Dollar segment. Selling square footage is expected to grow by 3.0% to 3.5% for the year. Diluted EPS is expected to range from $5.81 to $6.01, including the $0.12 charge for the legal reserve taken in the first quarter and the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Outlook
The Company expects consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter will range from $8.6 billion to $8.8 billion, based on a low-single-digit increase in same-store sales for the enterprise, a mid-single-digit increase for the Dollar Tree segment, and a decrease of 1.0% to an increase of 1.0% for the Family Dollar segment. Diluted EPS for the quarter is estimated to be in the range of $2.58 to $2.78.
While share repurchases are not included in the outlook, the Company had $1.35 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization as of October 28, 2023.

| Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||||||||||||||||
| (In millions, except per share data) | ||||||||||||||||
| (Unaudited) | ||||||||||||||||
| From time-to-time, the Company discloses certain financial measures not derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purposes of analyzing operating performance, financial position, liquidity, or cash flows. The non-GAAP financial measures we have disclosed include adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income – Family Dollar, and free cash flow. The Company believes providing additional information in the form of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income – Family Dollar that exclude the unusual expenses described below is beneficial to the users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's current operating results in relation to past periods. In addition, the Company's debt covenants exclude the impact of certain unusual expenses. The Company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables. | ||||||||||||||||
| In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $30.0 million charge to its legal reserve for DC 202-related matters. | ||||||||||||||||
| In addition, the Company discloses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate from our business operations. Free cash flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use, because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations. The Company has included a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables. | ||||||||||||||||
