Grocery Outlet Holding Corp., a high-growth retailer known for offering quality, name-brand consumables and fresh products at extreme value, operates over 560 independently operated stores across the United States. In its third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report, Grocery Outlet reported a 5.4% increase in net sales to $1.17 billion, although net income declined to $11.6 million from $24.2 million the previous year. The company highlighted the launch of its store refresh program as a strategic initiative aimed at improving store layouts and expanding product assortments.
Key financial metrics for the third quarter showed a gross margin decrease to 30.4% from 31.1% last year, while SG&A expenses rose by 8.7% to $331 million. Operating income was reported at $22.8 million, including restructuring charges, and adjusted EBITDA was $66.7 million, representing 5.7% of net sales. For the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025, net sales increased by 6.1% to $3.47 billion, though the company reported a net loss of $6.8 million, impacted by restructuring costs.
The company’s restructuring plan, initiated in late 2024, aims to optimize store growth and reduce costs, with actions including lease terminations and headcount reductions. Despite these challenges, adjusted EBITDA for the first 39 weeks rose by 3.8% to $186.3 million. Grocery Outlet’s strategic focus on refreshing store formats and enhancing independent operator support is expected to drive future growth.
Looking ahead, Grocery Outlet remains cautiously optimistic, revising its fiscal 2025 guidance with expectations for net sales between $4.70 billion and $4.72 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $258 million and $262 million. The company plans to continue its store refresh program and expand its store network, positioning itself for accelerated growth in 2026.
