Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive

The call presented a broadly positive operational and financial performance: strong sales (+~33%), widespread comps (+23%), substantial margin expansion, robust cash and a raised full-year outlook. Management emphasized tactical execution wins (social-first marketing, trend activation, store experience improvements) and maintained investment to support growth. Offsetting this optimism, leadership reiterated caution around macro headwinds (inflation, fuel), higher inventory levels, and the need to cycle tough comparisons in the back half of the year. Overall the message was confidence in the business model and continued execution, tempered by prudent conservatism on external risks.

Company Guidance

Management raised its outlook and gave Q2 and full‑year targets: for Q2 they now expect $1.18–$1.20 billion in sales (≈16% growth at the midpoint) with comparable sales +7–9%, ~50 new stores (vs. 32 LY), adjusted operating margin ~7% (vs. 5.4% LY), adjusted net income ≈$68M at the midpoint and adjusted diluted EPS ≈$1.23 (vs. $0.81 LY), Q2 net interest income ≈$8M and an effective tax rate of ~25%; for the full year they expect $5.40–$5.48 billion in sales (≈14% growth at the midpoint), comparable sales +6–8% (≈20% 2‑yr stack at midpoint), adjusted operating margin ~11.6% (up ~170 bps), SG&A rate of sale flat to 2025, adjusted diluted EPS ≈$8.85 on ~55.7M shares (≈33% growth vs. 2025), net interest income ≈$31M, capital expenditures of $230–$250M (ex. tenant allowances) to support ~150 net new stores, while maintaining H2 comp assumptions, flowing through the 10% global tariff benefit through July 24 (then assuming reversion), and not assuming any IEEPA tariff refunds.

Top-line Growth and Comparable Sales

Net sales increased nearly 33% to $1.3 billion in Q1, driven by comparable sales growth of ~23% and a 2-year stack comp of ~30%. This marked the fifth consecutive quarter of positive comps and fourth straight quarter of double-digit comp growth.

Strong Earnings and Margin Expansion

Adjusted EPS was $2.22, up ~158% year-over-year (over 2.5x). Adjusted net income grew 160% to $123 million. Adjusted operating income grew 160% to $155 million and adjusted operating margin expanded ~600 basis points to 12%.

Improved Gross Profitability and SG&A Leverage

Adjusted gross profit increased 46% to $479 million with gross margin rate of 37.2%, up ~340 basis points vs. prior year. Adjusted SG&A totaled $324 million or 25.2% of sales, a rate decline of ~250 basis points, driven by fixed cost leverage.

Store Growth and New-Store Productivity

Opened 49 net new stores in Q1 (vs. 55 last year) and ended the quarter with 1,970 stores (store count +8% year-over-year). New-store productivity was outstanding with broad-based fleet performance across all districts and vintages.

Transaction-Driven Customer Traffic

Comp growth was disproportionately driven by transactions, which increased ~19%, while ticket rose ~4%, indicating strong traffic and customer engagement across cohorts.

Marketing & Trend Activation Success

Shift to a social-first marketing strategy and stronger creator/UGC engagement amplified trends (notably the Squishy Dumpling event) and drove meaningful traffic and brand awareness lift. 15 of 18 merchandise departments comped positively; games & toys and collectibles were especially strong.

Balance Sheet and Inventory Position

Ended Q1 with approximately $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments. Inventory totaled $813 million (up ~16%) with units up ~10% and average inventory per store up ~7%, positioned to support summer and holiday periods.

Raised Near-Term Guidance and Confident Full-Year Outlook

Raised Q2 outlook to total sales $1.18B–$1.20B (midpoint growth ~16%) and comps 7%–9%. Full-year sales guidance increased to $5.40B–$5.48B (midpoint +14%); full-year adjusted diluted EPS of $8.85 at midpoint (up ~33% vs. prior year) and operating margin expansion to ~11.6% at midpoint.
