Strong Q2 Performance
National Vision delivered the highest second quarter results seen in recent years with a 10th consecutive quarter of positive comp store sales growth. Adjusted comp store sales growth reached 5.9% and adjusted EPS was $0.18, supported by a 69% year-over-year growth in adjusted operating income, resulting in a 180 basis point adjusted operating income margin improvement to 4.9%.
Managed Care Business Growth
The managed care business delivered low double-digit comp growth, bolstered by strong growth in both ticket and traffic. Managed care growth and mix are around the 50% range, and the company continues to see this as a significant tailwind.
Brand Revitalization and New Initiatives
National Vision introduced new branding and launched a transformational campaign for America's Best. A new CRM platform is being implemented to attract new customers and retain existing ones, with the goal of creating new personalized customer journeys.
Expansion of Product Assortment
The company is expanding its frame assortment priced over $99 to approximate 40% this year, introducing new designer partnerships such as Jimmy Choo and HUGO BOSS, which are performing well with both cash pay and managed care customers.
Eyeglass World Positive Performance
Eyeglass World saw its best first half performance since 2021 with positive comps at 2.8%. A strategic decision to modify the doctor model in Florida is expected to enhance patient experience and provide greater access to care.
