\n CHARLOTTE, N.C.<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Aug. 21, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0The\u00a0Cato Corporation (NYSE: CATO) today reported net income of $6.8 million<\/span> or $0.35<\/span> per diluted share for the second quarter ended August 2, 2025<\/span>, compared to net income of $0.1 million<\/span> or $0.01<\/span> per diluted share for the second quarter ended August 3<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sales for the second quarter ended August 2, 2025<\/span> were $174.7 million<\/span>, or an increase of 5% from sales of $166.9 million<\/span> for the second quarter ended August 3, 2024<\/span> primarily due to a 9% same-store sales increase for the quarter compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

For the six months ended August 2, 2025<\/span>, the Company reported net income of $10.1 million<\/span> or $0.51<\/span> per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.1 million<\/span> or $0.54<\/span> for the six months ended August 3<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0 Sales for the six months ended August 2, 2025<\/span> were $343.1 million<\/span>, an increase of 0.3% from sales of $342.2 million<\/span> for the six months ended August 3, 2024<\/span> primarily due to a 4% same-store sales increase compared to 2024, mostly offset by the impact of closed stores.<\/p>\n

“Our sales trend continued to improve during the second quarter.\u00a0 We attribute this improvement in part due to 2024 sales being impacted by supply chain disruptions,” stated John Cato<\/span>, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.\u00a0 “We will continue to tightly manage our expenses as we anticipate the back half of 2025 to be challenging due to the continued uncertainty regarding tariffs and the potential negative impact on our product acquisition costs.”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Gross margin increased from 34.6% to 36.2% of sales in the quarter due to lower distribution and buying costs, partially offset by lower merchandise margins.\u00a0 SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased from 34.9% to 32.8% of sales during the quarter primarily due to lower payroll and insurance costs, partially offset by higher advertising and general corporate costs. \u00a0Income tax benefit for the quarter was $0.3 million<\/span> versus an income tax expense of $0.6 million<\/span> in the prior year.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date gross margin increased from 35.2% of sales to 35.6% primarily due to lower distribution and buying costs, partially offset by lower merchandise margins.\u00a0 Year-to-date SG&A expenses were 32.8% as a percent of sales versus 33.6% in the prior year primarily due to lower payroll and insurance costs, partially offset by higher advertising expenses and general corporate costs. \u00a0Income tax expense for the first half decreased to $0.6 million<\/span> from $1.3 million<\/span> last year.<\/p>\n

During the second quarter ended August 2, 2025<\/span>, the Company closed eight stores.\u00a0 As of August 2, 2025<\/span>, the Company had 1,101 stores in 31 states, compared to 1,166 stores in 31 states as of August 3, 2024<\/span>.<\/p>\n
