Third Quarter 2020 Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nNet sales increased 17.3% to $8.2 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $7.0 billion in the third quarter of 2019. The net sales increase included positive sales contributions from new stores and growth in same-store sales, modestly offset by the impact of store closures. Same-store sales increased 12.2% compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven by an increase in average transaction amount, partially offset by a decline in customer traffic. Same-store sales increased in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products and apparel categories, with the largest percentage increase in the home products category. The Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 had a significant positive effect on net sales and same-store sales.\n<\/p>\n
\n\nGross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.3% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 29.5% in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 178 basis points. This gross profit rate increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in markdowns as a percentage of net sales, higher initial markups on inventory purchases, a greater proportion of sales coming from the non-consumables product categories, which generally have a higher gross profit rate than the consumables product category, and a reduction in inventory shrink as a percentage of net sales. These factors were partially offset by increased distribution and transportation costs, which were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of increased volume and discretionary employee bonus expense. As a result of the significant increase in sales, the Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 also had a significant positive effect on gross profit dollars.\n<\/p>\n
\nSelling, general and administrative expenses (\u201cSG&A\u201d) as a percentage of net sales were 21.9% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 22.5% in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 62 basis points. Although the Company incurred certain incremental costs related to COVID-19, they were more than offset by the significant increase in net sales during the quarter as discussed above. Expenses that were lower as a percentage of net sales in the current year period include occupancy costs, utilities, retail labor, depreciation and amortization, repairs and maintenance, and employee benefits. These items were partially offset by increased incentive compensation and hurricane-related expenses.\n<\/p>\n
\nOperating profit for the third quarter of 2020 increased 57.3% to $773.1 million compared to $491.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. The third quarter of 2020 included approximately $38 million of incremental investments the Company made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These investments included measures taken to further protect the health and safety of employees and customers, and approximately $25 million in appreciation bonuses for eligible frontline employees.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was 21.6% compared to 21.7% in the third quarter of 2019. This lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and a larger income tax rate benefit from state taxes, partially offset by a lower income tax rate benefit from federal income tax credits due to higher pre-tax earnings in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Company reported net income of $574.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 57.1% compared to $365.6 million in the third quarter of 2019. Diluted EPS increased 62.7% to $2.31 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to diluted EPS of $1.42 in the third quarter of 2019.\n<\/p>\n
39-Week Period Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nFor the 39-week period ended October 30, 2020, net sales increased 23.0% to $25.3 billion, compared to $20.6 billion in the comparable 2019 period. This net sales increase included positive sales contributions from new stores and growth in same-store sales, modestly offset by the impact of store closures. Same-store sales increased 17.5% from the 2019 39-week period, driven by an increase in average transaction amount, partially offset by a decline in customer traffic. Same-store sales in the 2020 period included growth in the consumables, seasonal, home products and apparel categories, with the largest percentage increase in the home products category. The Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 had a significant positive effect on net sales and same-store sales.\n<\/p>\n
\n\nGross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.5% in the 2020 39-week period, compared to 30.2% in the comparable 2019 period, an increase of 133 basis points. The gross profit rate increase in the 2020 period was primarily attributable to a reduction in markdowns as a percentage of net sales, higher initial markups on inventory purchases, and a greater proportion of sales coming from the non-consumables product categories, which generally have a higher gross profit rate than the consumables product category. These factors were partially offset by increased distribution costs, which were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of increased volume and discretionary employee bonus expense. As a result of the significant increase in sales, the Company believes consumer behavior driven by COVID-19 also had a significant positive effect on gross profit dollars.\n<\/p>\n
\nSG&A as a percentage of net sales was 20.9% in the 2020 39-week period compared to 22.5% in the comparable 2019 period, a decrease of 158 basis points. Although the Company incurred certain incremental costs related to COVID-19, they were more than offset by the significant increase in net sales during the 39-week period as discussed above. Expenses that were lower as a percentage of net sales in the 2020 period include occupancy costs, retail labor, utilities, depreciation and amortization, employee benefits, taxes and licenses, and repairs and maintenance. These items were partially offset by increased incentive compensation expenses and hurricane-related expenses. The 2019 period included expenses of $31.0 million relating to significant legal matters (the \u201cSignificant Legal Expenses\u201d). SG&A in the 39-week period of 2020 decreased 143 basis points as a percentage of sales compared to Adjusted SG&A of 22.4%1<\/sup>, which excluded the impact of the Significant Legal Expenses, in the 2019 period.\n<\/p>\n
\nOperating profit for the 2020 39-week period grew 69.6% to $2.7 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the comparable 2019 period. Operating profit for the 2020 period increased 66.4% compared to Adjusted operating profit of $1.6 billion1<\/sup>, which excluded the impact of the Significant Legal Expenses, for the 2019 39-week period. The 2020 period included approximately $153 million of incremental investments the Company made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These investments included measures taken to further protect the health and safety of employees and customers, and approximately $99 million in appreciation bonuses for eligible frontline employees.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe effective income tax rate in the 2020 39-week period was 21.8% compared to 21.9% in the comparable 2019 period. This lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and a greater income tax rate benefit from state taxes, partially offset by a lower income tax rate benefit from federal income tax credits due to higher pre-tax earnings in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Company reported net income of $2.0 billion for the 2020 39-week period, an increase of 71.0% compared to $1.2 billion in the comparable 2019 period. Diluted EPS increased 76.2% to $8.00 for the 2020 39-week period compared to diluted EPS of $4.54 in the comparable 2019 period. Net income and diluted EPS for the 2020 period increased 67.5% and 72.4%, respectively, compared to Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.2 billion1<\/sup> and $4.641<\/sup>, respectively. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS for the comparable 2019 period excluded the after-tax impact of the Significant Legal Expenses of approximately $24.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.\n<\/p>\n

Merchandise Inventories <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nAs of October 30, 2020, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $5.0 billion compared to $4.5 billion as of November 1, 2019, an increase of 5.9% on a per-store basis.\n<\/p>\n
\nCapital Expenditures<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nTotal additions to property and equipment in the 2020 39-week period were $698 million, including approximately: $304 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $209 million for store facilities, primarily for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment in new stores; $140 million for distribution and transportation related projects; and $39 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects. During the 2020 39-week period, the Company opened 780 new stores, remodeled 1,425 stores and relocated 76 stores.\n<\/p>\n
Share Repurchases<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nThe Company repurchased $902 million of its common stock, or 4.4 million shares, under its share repurchase program at an average price of $204.58 per share in the third quarter of 2020. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases was $1.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Under the authorization, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, including pursuant to trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, market conditions, compliance with the covenants and restrictions under the Company\u2019s debt agreements and other factors. The authorization has no expiration date.\n<\/p>\n
Dividend <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nOn December 2, 2020, the Company\u2019s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on the Company\u2019s common stock, payable on or before January 19, 2021 to shareholders of record on January 5, 2021. While the Board of Directors intends to continue regular cash dividends, the declaration and amount of future dividends are subject to the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon, among other things, the Company\u2019s results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors the Board may deem relevant in its sole discretion.\n<\/p>\n
Fiscal Year 2020 Update <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nAs noted above, the Company realized a significant sales benefit in the 39-week period ended October 30, 2020, as a result of COVID-19. In addition, since the end of the third quarter, the Company has continued to experience elevated demand in its stores. As a result, from October 31, 2020 through December 1, 2020, same-store sales increased approximately 14% as compared to the comparable timeframe in the 2019 fiscal year.\n<\/p>\n
\nDue to the significant uncertainty that continues to exist around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and the Company\u2019s business, there is a lack of visibility for the remainder of 2020 with many unknowns. Because it is difficult to predict specific outcomes, the Company is not issuing updated fiscal 2020 sales or EPS guidance at this time.\n<\/p>\n
\nHowever, for the 52-week fiscal year ending January 29, 2021 (\u201cfiscal year 2020\u201d), the Company continues to expect the following:\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nShare repurchases of approximately $2.5 billion;\n<\/li>\n
- \nCapital expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company\u2019s strategic initiatives, in the range of $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion; and\n<\/li>\n
- \n2,780 real estate projects, including 1,000 new store openings, 1,670 remodels, and 110 store relocations.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fiscal Year 2021 Store Growth Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nFor the 52-week fiscal year ending January 28, 2022 (\u201cfiscal year 2021\u201d), the Company plans to execute 2,900 real estate projects, including 1,050 new store openings, 1,750 remodels, and 100 store relocations.\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\u201cWe are excited to once again accelerate our real estate growth plans in fiscal year 2021,\u201d said Jeff Owen, Dollar General\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cOur portfolio of high-return real estate projects continues to be a top priority for capital allocation as we look to continue delivering long-term shareholder value. With a robust pipeline in place and plans to execute an average of nearly eight real estate projects per day in fiscal year 2021, we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to further expand our footprint and serve even more customers across the country.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Non-GAAP Disclosure <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nAdjusted SG&A, Adjusted operating profit, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS, and their respective growth metrics, for the 39-week period ended November 1, 2019 have not been derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather exclude the impact of the Significant Legal Expenses, which are associated with wage and hour and consumer\/product certified class action litigation and related matters. Due to the nature, infrequency, and financial magnitude of such matters, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company\u2019s operating performance as these measures provide an additional relevant comparison of the Company\u2019s operating performance across periods. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are provided in the accompanying schedules.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe non-GAAP measures discussed above are not measures of financial performance or condition, liquidity or profitability in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to SG&A, operating profit, net income, diluted EPS or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company\u2019s financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.\n<\/p>\n
