Net sales came in at $2.04 billion, down from $2.15 billion in the prior-year period, reflecting the deliberate closure of 517 stores as part of the company's footprint optimization, but the leaner network drove adjusted gross margin to 44.8% from 42.3% and pushed adjusted operating income to $90.00 million, versus just $16.00 million a year ago. Comparable store sales grew 3.0%, with both the Professional installer and DIY channels contributing positively. Results were partially weighed down by a $28.00 million charge tied to a supplier's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The company reaffirmed the midpoint of its full-year guidance, targeting net sales of $8.55 billion to $8.60 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.75 to $1.85, with roughly 200 basis points of annual margin expansion expected in this first year of its turnaround.

Key Takeaways

  • 3.0% comparable store sales growth led by Pro channel strength
  • DIY channel also delivered positive comparable sales growth
  • Adjusted gross profit margin expanded to 44.8% from 42.3% driven by footprint optimization savings and strategic sourcing initiatives reducing product costs
  • Adjusted SG&A margin improved to 40.4% from 41.5% due to operating fewer stores
  • Adjusted operating income margin expanded to 4.4% from 0.7% year-over-year
