\n CHARLOTTE, N.C.<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Nov. 20, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — The Cato Corporation (NYSE: CATO) today reported a net loss of $5.2 million<\/span> or ($0.28)<\/span> per diluted share for the third quarter ended November 1, 2025<\/span>, compared to a net loss of $15.1 million<\/span> or ($0.79)<\/span> per diluted share for the third quarter ended November 2<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sales for the third quarter ended November 1, 2025<\/span> were $153.7 million<\/span>, an increase of 6% from sales of $144.6 million<\/span> for the third quarter ended November 2<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0 The Company’s same-store sales for the quarter increased 10% compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

For the nine months ended November 1, 2025<\/span>, the Company reported net income of $5.0 million<\/span> or $0.25<\/span> per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million<\/span> or ($0.24)<\/span> per diluted share for the nine months ended November 2<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0 Sales for the nine months ended November 1, 2025<\/span> were $496.8 million<\/span>, an increase of 2% to sales of $486.8 million<\/span> for the nine months ended November 2<\/span>, 2024.\u00a0 Year-to-date same-store sales increased 6% compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

“Our positive second quarter sales trend continued into the third quarter.\u00a0 We attribute this, in part due to 2024 third quarter sales being negatively impacted by three major hurricanes over a five week span and supply chain issues causing late merchandise receipts to the stores,” stated John Cato<\/span>, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.\u00a0 “We believe the fourth quarter will be challenging due in part to the slowdown in employment growth and lower expected economic growth. \u00a0We will continue to tightly manage our expenses and inventory levels, while driving continued sales growth in the fourth quarter.”<\/p>\n

Gross margin increased from 28.8% to 32.0% of sales in the quarter due to lower freight, distribution, buying and occupancy costs as a percent of sales, partially offset by higher markdowns.\u00a0 SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased from 40.0% to 37.1% of sales during the quarter primarily due to lower payroll, professional fees and insurance costs as a percent of sales. SG&A expenses were $57.0 million<\/span>, a $0.9 million<\/span> reduction compared to last year. The tax benefit for the quarter was $1.2 million<\/span> versus tax expense of $0.3 million<\/span> in the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in foreign income taxes and an increase in the roll-off of reserves for uncertain tax positions in the current year.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date gross margin increased to 34.5% of sales from 33.3% in the prior year primarily due to lower freight, distribution, buying and occupancy costs as a percent of sales, partially offset by higher markdowns.\u00a0 The year-to-date SG&A rate was 34.2% versus 35.5% primarily due to lower payroll and insurance costs as a percent of sales.\u00a0 Year-to-date SG&A expenses decreased to $169.7 million<\/span> from $172.8 million<\/span> last year. The tax benefit for the nine-month period was $0.5 million<\/span> compared to $1.6 million<\/span> tax expense last year, due to a reduction in foreign income taxes and an increase in the roll-off of reserves for uncertain tax positions in the current year.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date, the Company closed 16 stores.\u00a0 As of November 1, 2025<\/span>, the Company has 1,101 stores in 31 states, compared to 1,167 stores in 31 states\u00a0as of November 2, 2024<\/span>.<\/p>\n
