\n\u201cWhile we are not satisfied with our overall financial results, we made significant progress in the second quarter improving execution in our supply chain and our stores, as well as reducing our inventory growth rate and further strengthening our price position,\u201d said Jeff Owen, Dollar General\u2019s chief executive officer.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThese actions were an important driver of improving customer traffic trends and growing total market share in the second quarter. In addition, we executed nearly 850 real estate projects during the quarter, further extending our reach and expanding our ability to serve both new and existing customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe are pleased with the advancements we have made, and we are now taking further actions and making additional investments to accelerate our progress and ultimately serve our customers even better.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nNet sales increased 3.9% to $9.8 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $9.4 billion in the second quarter of 2022. The net sales increase was primarily driven by positive sales contributions from new stores, partially offset by the slight decline in same-store sales and the impact of store closures. Same-store sales decreased 0.1% compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven by a decline in customer traffic, partially offset by an increase in average transaction amount. Same-store sales in the second quarter of 2023 included declines in each of the home, seasonal, and apparel categories, partially offset by growth in the consumables category.<\/p>\n
\nGross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 32.3% in the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 126 basis points. This gross profit rate decrease was primarily attributable to lower inventory markups and increased shrink, markdowns, and inventory damages, as well as a greater proportion of sales coming from the consumables category, which generally has a lower gross profit rate than other product categories. These factors were partially offset by a lower LIFO provision and decreased transportation costs.<\/p>\n
\n\nSelling, general and administrative expenses (\u201cSG&A\u201d) as a percentage of net sales were 24.0% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 22.6% in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 136 basis points. The primary expenses that were a greater percentage of net sales in the current year period were retail labor, utilities, depreciation and amortization, and rent; partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation.<\/p>\n
\nOperating profit for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 24.2% to $692.3 million compared to $913.4 million in the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n
\nInterest expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased 95.7% to $84.3 million compared to $43.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by higher average borrowings and higher interest rates.<\/p>\n
\nThe effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 22.9% compared to 22.1% in the second quarter of 2022. This higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to a higher state effective tax rate in the 13-week period in 2023 than the comparable 13-week period in 2022.<\/p>\n
\nThe Company reported net income of $468.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 30.9% compared to $678.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Diluted EPS decreased 28.5% to $2.13 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to diluted EPS of $2.98 in the second quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n
Merchandise Inventories<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nAs of August 4, 2023, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $7.5 billion compared to $6.9 billion as of July 29, 2022, an increase of 3.4% on a per-store basis.<\/p>\n
Capital Expenditures<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nTotal additions to property and equipment in the 26-week period ended August 4, 2023 were $768 million, including approximately: $308 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $229 million for distribution and transportation-related projects; $194 million related to store facilities, primarily for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment in new stores; and $23 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company opened 215 new stores, remodeled 614 stores, and relocated 20 stores.<\/p>\n
Share Repurchases<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nIn the second quarter of 2023, as planned, the Company did not repurchase any shares under its share repurchase program. The total remaining authorization for future repurchases was $1.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n
\nUnder the program, 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, cash requirements, excess debt capacity, results of operations, financial condition and other factors. The authorization has no expiration date. Information regarding the Company\u2019s updated share repurchase expectations for 2023 can be found under \u201cFiscal Year 2023 Financial Guidance and Store Growth Outlook.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDividend<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nOn August 30, 2023, the Company\u2019s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share on the Company\u2019s common stock, payable on or before October 24, 2023 to shareholders of record on October 10, 2023. While the Board of Directors currently 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, excess debt capacity, and other factors the Board may deem relevant in its sole discretion.<\/p>\n
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Guidance and Store Growth Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\nThe Company is taking certain actions to accelerate the pace of its inventory reduction efforts and making additional investments in targeted areas, such as retail labor, to further elevate the in-store experience and better serve its customers. Overall, the Company expects an incremental operating profit headwind of up to $170 million in the second half of 2023 from these strategic actions and investments.<\/p>\n
\nTo reflect these strategic actions and investments, as well as softer sales trends and an increase in expected inventory shrink for the second half of 2023, the Company is revising its outlook for fiscal year 2023, provided on June 1, 2023.<\/p>\n
\nThe Company now expects:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nNet sales growth in the range of 1.3% to 3.3%, compared to its previous expectation of 3.5% to 5.0%; both of which include an anticipated negative impact of approximately two percentage points due to lapping the fiscal 2022 53rd<\/sup> week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nSame-store sales growth in the range of a decline of approximately 1.0% to growth of 1.0%, compared to its previous expectation of growth in the range of 1.0% to 2.0%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nDiluted EPS in the range of approximately $7.10 to $8.30, or a decline of 34% to 22%, compared to its previous year-over-year change expectation of an approximate 8% decline to flat growth.<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nThe Diluted EPS guidance continues to include an anticipated negative impact of approximately four percentage points due to lapping the fiscal 2022 53rd<\/sup> week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nThe Diluted EPS guidance continues to include an anticipated negative impact of approximately four percentage points due to higher interest expense in fiscal 2023.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nThe Diluted EPS guidance continues to assume an effective tax rate of approximately 22.5%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nThe Company continues to expect the following for fiscal year 2023:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nCapital expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company\u2019s strategic initiatives, in the range of $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n3,110 real estate projects in the United States, including 990 new store openings, 2,000 remodels, and 120 store relocations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nThe Company\u2019s guidance also continues to assume no share repurchases in 2023.<\/p>\n
