Earnings Call Summary

Q1 2026
Earnings Call Date:Jan 07, 2026|

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed a predominately positive operational and financial picture: solid top-line growth, strong comparable sales, notable regional outperformance (especially Colombia), meaningful membership and digital progress, margin stability and improved operating profit and adjusted EBITDA. Management also outlined an active capital and supply-chain investment program (new clubs, distribution centers, technology). The principal negatives were transitory operational disruptions during the holiday period (elections, weather and supply-chain out-of-stocks), modest SG&A and tax headwinds, foreign currency losses and increased investing cash use. Overall, the positives — including robust sales, membership momentum and margin resilience — outweigh the manageable near-term challenges and monitored macro risks.
