Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Net revenues increased 8.8% ($50.0 million) for the quarter and 8.7% ($95.4 million) for the six months compared to the prior year periods. Growth was driven by non-comparable sales from new stores and comparable sales growth of 2.3% (quarter) and 1.8% (six months).
- Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 51.5% (quarter) and 48.1% (six months) from 46.4% and 45.4% in the prior year. This improvement was significantly aided by $37.9 million in IEEPA tariff refunds recognized as a reduction in cost of sales.
- Debt Restructuring: The company repaid its $350.0 million Term Loan in full using IPO proceeds and cash on hand. Consequently, interest expense for the six-month period included a $10.7 million acceleration of debt issuance costs.
- Expense Increases: Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 9.3% (quarter) and 9.2% (six months) due to new store openings, higher occupancy costs, increased marketing spend, and a $2.0 million termination fee for the advisory agreement with Bain Capital.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Strategic Outlook: Management expects to expand the store base to over 500 locations by 2035. New stores are projected to achieve average unit volumes (AUVs) of $9.0 million and cash-on-cash returns exceeding 80% by year five.
- Tariff Environment: The company received approval for $45.1 million in tariff refund claims, with $41.9 million recorded as a receivable (subsequently received). Future results may be impacted by potential reinstatement of tariffs or changes in trade policy.
- Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing conflict in Iran has caused fuel price volatility, potentially affecting supply chain costs and consumer spending.
- Capital Allocation: Estimated capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 are expected to range between $110.0 million and $115.0 million, primarily for new stores, remodels, and a new distribution center.
- Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 28, 2026, was $98.4 million (8.2% of revenue), down 1.7% from the prior year, excluding the impact of tariff refunds and debt costs.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Tariff Refund Realization: Verify the timing and certainty of the remaining $41.9 million tariff refund receivable and the potential for future tariff reinstatement.
- Adjusted Margins: Analyze "Adjusted Gross Margin" (45.4% for the quarter) to understand core profitability excluding the one-time tariff benefit.
- Debt Capacity: Confirm the utilization and borrowing base constraints of the amended $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
- Store Economics: Monitor the performance of new store openings (4 in Q2, 9 in H1) against the projected $9.0 million AUV and two-year payback period.
- Public Company Costs: Assess the ongoing impact of increased SG&A related to public company compliance, legal, and insurance expenses.
