NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise stated, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q refer to Dollar Tree, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2024. The results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending February 1, 2025.

In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The February 3, 2024 balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts stated herein are in U.S. Dollars.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04 "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)" ("ASU 2022-04") which requires entities to disclose the key terms of supplier finance programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services along with information about their obligations under these programs, including a rollforward of those obligations. We adopted ASU 2022-04 in fiscal 2023 on a retrospective basis, except for the amendments relating to the rollforward requirement, which are effective on a prospective basis beginning in fiscal 2024 within the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 9 for a discussion of our supply chain finance program.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”) which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and allocating resources. Further, it requires that all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 be provided in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2024 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard to our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires entities to disclose specific categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregated disclosure of income taxes paid, pretax income and income tax expense by jurisdiction. The standard also removes certain disclosure requirements that currently exist under Topic 740. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025, with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Contingencies

On April 28, 2024, a tornado destroyed our Dollar Tree distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma. Based on the significant damage sustained by the facility, the inventory contained in the facility and the facility itself are not salvageable. We incurred losses totaling $117.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, consisting of $70.0 million related to damaged inventory and $47.0 million related to property and equipment. These losses were fully offset by insurance receivables. As of August 3, 2024, we have received insurance proceeds totaling $70.8 million, including $45.0 million related to damaged inventory and $25.8 million related to damaged property and equipment. We expect that the remaining inventory losses and property and equipment losses will be fully offset by insurance recoveries under our distribution center insurance policies.

Table of Contents

Expected insurance recoveries for business interruption and redevelopment costs greater than the losses recognized cannot be estimated at this time.

The foregoing losses and expected insurance recoveries are based on information currently available to us. We continue to assess these estimates and will recognize any changes to these estimates in the period(s) in which they are determined. The final losses, insurance recoveries and net charges could vary from these estimates.

Legal Proceedings

We are defendants in ordinary, routine litigation or proceedings incidental to our business, including employment-related matters; infringement of intellectual property rights; personal injury/wrongful death claims; real estate matters; environmental and safety issues; and product safety matters. Legal proceedings may also include class, collective, representative and large cases and arbitrations, including those described below. We will vigorously defend ourselves in these matters. We do not believe that any of these matters will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or liquidity. We cannot give assurance, however, that one or more of these matters will not have a material effect on our results of operations for the quarter or year in which they are reserved or resolved.

We assess our legal proceedings monthly and reserves are established if a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Many, if not substantially all, of our legal proceedings are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and the measurement of any loss can be complex and subject to judgment. With respect to the matters noted below where we have determined that a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of the possible loss at this time due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of and uncertainties regarding legal proceedings. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. Management’s assessment of legal proceedings could change because of future determinations or the discovery of facts which are not presently known. Accordingly, the ultimate costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than currently estimated.

Active Matters

Talc Product Matters

Multiple personal injury lawsuits are pending in state court in Illinois, New York, Texas, and New Jersey against Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or both alleging that certain talc products that we sold caused cancer. The plaintiffs seek compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages, damages for loss of consortium, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Although we have been able to resolve previous talc lawsuits against us without material loss, given the inherent uncertainties of litigation there can be no assurances regarding the outcome of pending or future cases. Future costs to litigate these cases are not known but may be material, and it is uncertain whether our costs will be covered by insurance. In addition, although we have indemnification rights against our vendors in several of these cases, it is uncertain whether the vendors will have the financial ability to fulfill their obligations to us.

Acetaminophen Matters

Since August 2022, more than 50 personal injury cases have been filed in federal court against Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, or both, on behalf of minors alleging that their mothers took acetaminophen while pregnant, that the acetaminophen interfered with fetal development such that plaintiffs were born with autism and/or ADHD, and that we knew or should have known of the danger, had a duty to warn and failed to include appropriate warnings on the product labels. The plaintiffs seek compensatory, punitive and/or exemplary damages, restitution and disgorgement, economic damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. These cases, which originated in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas, along with other cases against many other defendants, were consolidated into multi-district court litigation in the Southern District of New York. The court disqualified plaintiffs’ experts and, on that basis dismissed all the cases which had been filed at the time of that decision, including all cases currently filed against us. The dismissal has been appealed to the Second Circuit by plaintiffs.

Resolved Matters

DC 202-Related Matters

As previously reported by the company on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 26, 2024, its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 20, 2024 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed June 5, 2024, Family Dollar Stores, LLC (“Family Dollar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, has resolved a number of related matters connected to a past rodent infestation at Family Dollar’s West Memphis, Arkansas distribution center (“DC 202”) and recorded charges of $56.7 million in fiscal 2023 with respect to such matters. We do not believe any remaining matters associated with DC 202 will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or liquidity.

Table of Contents

Note 4 - Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

As of August 3, 2024, $250.0 million principal amount of notes were outstanding under our commercial paper program, with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.5%. There were no short-term borrowings outstanding at February 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). We did not record any material impairment charges during the 13 or 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Restricted cash” and “Accounts payable” as reported in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of our Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under our commercial paper program approximate their fair values.

The aggregate fair values and carrying values of our long-term borrowings, including current portion, were as follows:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding	215.0		220.1		216.4		220.6
Basic net income per share	$	0.62	$	0.91	$	2.00	$	2.26
Diluted net income per share:
Net income	$	132.4	$	200.4	$	432.5	$	499.4
Weighted average number of shares outstanding	215.0		220.1		216.4		220.6
Dilutive impact of share-based awards (as determined by applying the treasury stock method)	0.2		0.4		0.3		0.5

Diluted net income per share	$	0.62	$	0.91	$	2.00	$	2.26

Share-based awards of 3.4 million shares and 3.1 million shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Share-based awards of 2.4 million shares and 3.0 million shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 7 - Shareholders’ Equity

We repurchased 746,535 and 3,283,837 shares of common stock on the open market at a cost of $90.8 million and $403.6 million, including applicable excise tax, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. We repurchased 703,713 and 1,728,713 shares of common stock on the open market at a cost of $99.9 million and $252.0 million, including applicable excise tax, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, respectively. At August 3, 2024, we had $952.4 million remaining under our existing $2.5 billion Board repurchase authorization.

Note 8 - Segments and Disaggregated Revenue

We operate more than 16,300 retail discount stores in 48 states and five Canadian provinces. Our operations are conducted in two reporting business segments: Dollar Tree and Family Dollar. We define our segments as those operations whose results our CODM regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources.

The Dollar Tree segment is the leading operator of discount variety stores offering merchandise predominantly at the opening price point of $1.25, with additional offerings at higher price points. The Dollar Tree segment includes our operations under the “Dollar Tree” and “Dollar Tree Canada” brands, 15 distribution centers in the United States and two distribution centers in Canada.

The Family Dollar segment operates a chain of general merchandise retail discount stores providing consumers with a selection of competitively-priced merchandise in convenient neighborhood stores. The Family Dollar segment consists of our operations under the “Family Dollar” brand and ten distribution centers. The Family Dollar segment operating income (loss) includes advertising revenue, which is a component of “Other revenue” in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. On June 5, 2024, we announced that we had initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business segment, which could include among others, a potential sale, spin-off or other disposition of the business. There is not a set deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or particular outcome.

We measure the results of our segments using, among other measures, each segment’s net sales, gross profit and operating income (loss). The CODM reviews these metrics for each of our reporting segments. We may revise the measurement of each segment’s operating income (loss), as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the CODM. If the measurement of a segment changes, prior period amounts and balances are reclassified to be comparable to the current period’s presentation. Corporate, support and other consists primarily of store support center costs and the results of operations for our Summit Pointe property in Chesapeake, Virginia that are considered shared services and therefore, these selling, general and administrative costs are excluded from our two reporting business segments.

Note 9 - Supply Chain Finance Program

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we implemented a supply chain finance program, administered through a financial institution, which provides participating suppliers with the opportunity to finance payments due from us. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, elect to finance one or more invoices of ours prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price with the financial institution.

Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the supplier’s decision to finance amounts under these arrangements. As such, the outstanding payment obligations under our supply chain financing program are included within “Accounts payable” in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and within “Cash flows from operating activities” in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Our outstanding payment obligations under this program were $145.2 million and $11.8 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively.

Overview

We are a leading operator of more than 16,300 retail discount stores and conduct our operations through two reporting segments. Our Dollar Tree segment is the leading operator of discount variety stores offering merchandise predominantly at the opening price point of $1.25, with additional offerings at higher price points. Our Family Dollar segment operates general merchandise retail discount stores providing consumers with a selection of competitively-priced merchandise in convenient neighborhood stores.

Our net sales are derived from the sale of merchandise. Two major factors tend to affect our net sales trends. First is our success at opening new stores. Second is the performance of stores once they are open which can be impacted by a number of factors including operational performance, competition, inflation, consumer buying preference and changes in the product assortment, pricing, or quality. Sales vary at our existing stores from one year to the next. We refer to this as a change in comparable store net sales, because we include only those stores that are open throughout both of the periods being compared, beginning after the first fifteen months of operation. We include sales from stores expanded, relocated or remodeled during the period in the calculation of comparable store net sales, which has the effect of increasing our comparable store net sales. Stores that have been re-bannered (i.e., Family Dollar stores converted to Dollar Tree stores, or vice versa) are considered to be new stores and are not included in the calculation of the comparable store net sales change until after the first fifteen months of operation under the new brand. Sales that are excluded from the calculation of comparable store net sales are referred to as non-comparable store sales and consist of sales from new stores open fifteen months or less and stores that are closed permanently or expected to be closed for more than 90 days.

Quarterly Results

Financial highlights for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared to the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023, include:

•Net sales increased 0.7% to $7,372.7 million, primarily due to a 0.7% enterprise-wide comparable store net sales increase.

•Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased 80 basis points to 30.0%, primarily due to lower freight costs, partially offset by increased sales of higher cost consumable merchandise, and increased occupancy and distribution costs.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, increased 200 basis points to 27.3%, primarily due to unfavorable development of general liability claims, higher depreciation expense from store investments, increases in temporary labor on the Dollar Tree segment to support our multi-price rollout, and the loss of leverage from the low single-digit comparable store net sales increase, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

•Operating income, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased 110 basis points to 2.8%.

•The effective tax rate was 24.0% and remained unchanged as compared to the prior year quarter.

•Net income was $132.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $200.4 million, or $0.91 per diluted share.

Table of Contents

At August 3, 2024, we operated stores in 48 states and the District of Columbia, as well as stores in five Canadian provinces. The average size of stores opened during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was approximately 9,330 selling square feet for the Dollar Tree segment and 8,840 selling square feet for the Family Dollar segment. A breakdown of store counts and square footage by segment for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 is as follows:

*Selling square footage impact of re-bannered or relocated stores is only provided if it equals or exceeds 0.1 million selling square feet.

The store counts above do not include new stores until they are opened for sales. Stores are included as re-banners when they close or open, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we initiated a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review, including identifying stores as candidates for closure, re-bannering, or relocation. See the “Strategic Initiatives and Recent Developments” section below for additional detail.

The percentage change in comparable store net sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended August 3, 2024			26 Weeks Ended August 3, 2024
	Sales Growth	Change in Customer Traffic	Change in Average Ticket	Sales Growth	Change in Customer Traffic	Change in Average Ticket
Consolidated	0.7%	1.1%	(0.5)%	0.8%	1.6%	(0.8)%
Dollar Tree Segment	1.3%	1.4%	(0.1)%	1.5%	2.1%	(0.6)%
Family Dollar Segment	(0.1)%	0.7%	(0.8)%	—%	0.8%	(0.8)%

Comparable store net sales are positively affected by our expanded, relocated and remodeled stores, which we include in the calculation, and are negatively affected when we open new stores, re-banner stores or expand stores near existing stores.

Net sales per selling square foot is calculated based on total net sales for the preceding 12 months as of the end of the reporting period divided by the average selling square footage during the period. Selling square footage excludes the storage, receiving and office space that generally occupies approximately 20% of the total square footage of our stores. We believe that net sales per selling square foot more accurately depicts the productivity and operating performance of our stores as it reflects the portion of our footprint that is dedicated to selling merchandise.

Net sales per selling square foot for the 52 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 is as follows:

For the 52 weeks ended August 3, 2024, Family Dollar’s net sales per selling square foot includes net sales for the stores that were closed in connection with the store portfolio optimization review in the numerator of the calculation, but the related selling square footage as of August 3, 2024 is excluded from the denominator of the calculation which represents the average selling square footage for the 52-week period. See our “Strategic Initiatives and Recent Developments” below for more information on the initiatives that are driving our comparable store net sales growth and net sales per selling square foot growth.

Strategic Initiatives and Recent Developments

We continue to execute on a number of strategic initiatives across the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar segments to drive productive sales growth, improve operating efficiency, invest in technology, and expand our culture of service to our associates. These initiatives include, among others, the following.

Dollar Tree Merchandising. We continue to expand our brand assortment at the $1.25 price point to provide greater value to our customers and increase customer traffic and store productivity. We are continuing to expand our multi-price product assortment, which began with the introduction of $3 and $5 Dollar Tree Plus product in select discretionary categories, expanded into $3, $4 and $5 frozen and refrigerated product, and now comprises a wide assortment of other consumable and discretionary product at varying price points. We are currently taking actions to improve operating efficiencies and prepare for expanded multi-price products within our stores, including raising shelf heights, implementing space productivity, and rightsizing assortments. As of August 3, 2024, we have expanded our multi-price assortment in approximately 1,600 stores.

99 Cents Only Stores Acquisition. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired designation rights for up to 170 leases of 99 Cents Only Stores across Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas. The designation rights were acquired following the bankruptcy of 99 Cents Only Stores, which provided us an attractive opportunity to secure leases in priority markets. We have secured the leases for 164 of these stores and have opened approximately half of these stores under our Dollar Tree segment. We expect to open the remaining stores during the second half of fiscal 2024 under our Dollar Tree segment.

Family Dollar Merchandising. Our store design initiatives at Family Dollar provide significantly improved merchandise offerings and establish a minimum number of cooler doors. We tailor space and assortment to local demographics with emerging formats including H2.5, our primary store format with optimized layout and expanded frozen and refrigerated doors; larger rural stores where assortments may include Dollar Tree product; and XSB (Extra Small Box), which adds elements of H2.5 optimized to our smaller stores, particularly in urban markets. As of August 3, 2024, we have more than 2,150 stores across these three formats.

Across all of Family Dollar’s formats we are expanding our SKUs, continuing to add cooler doors, increasing our standard shelf height presentation, and implementing planogram and category resets. We continue to introduce new private brands at Family Dollar, convert control brands to private brands and align our “Family” brand message across key categories.

Store Portfolio Optimization and Family Dollar Strategic Alternatives Reviews. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we announced that we had initiated a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review which involved identifying stores for closure, relocation or re-bannering based on an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance, among other factors. As a result of the portfolio optimization review, we identified approximately 970 underperforming Family Dollar stores, including approximately 600 stores to be closed in the first half of fiscal 2024, and approximately 370 stores to be closed at the end of each store's current lease term. As of August 3, 2024, we have closed approximately 655 stores identified under the portfolio optimization review and expect to close an additional 45 during the remainder of fiscal 2024.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we announced that we had initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business segment, which could include among others, a potential sale, spin-off or other disposition of the business. There is not a set deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of the strategic alternatives review process, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or particular outcome.

Our Workforce & Our Workplace. Across both of our segments, we are investing in our talent, including initiatives to provide competitive pay and benefits, enhanced training, and attractive career opportunities to deliver an enhanced associate experience, reduce turnover, and improve our store standards and efficiencies and ultimately the customer experience. Additional initiatives include projects to optimize and modernize our stores, with a focus on improving store appearance, delivering consistent experiences across all stores, and driving positive sales trends.

Our supply chain initiatives include enhancing our distribution and transportation network, including investments in our truck fleet, transportation management systems, a new distribution center with enhanced automation to improve efficiency, and a new RotaCart delivery process to streamline the truck unloading and store delivery process. Significant investments are also underway to improve climate control conditions in our distribution centers.

Technology Investment. We continue our multi-year plan for significant investment in our technology across our business, including our store systems, merchandising and supply chain. We believe these improvements can promote operational efficiencies and deliver an elevated customer experience.

Marietta, Oklahoma Distribution Center. On April 28, 2024, a tornado destroyed our Dollar Tree distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma. Based on the significant damage sustained by the facility, the inventory contained in the facility and the facility itself are not salvageable. We have pivoted our supply chain network to deliver products to the approximately 600 Marietta-serviced Dollar Tree stores, and we expect that these efforts will limit disruption to the Dollar Tree shopping experience. We are incurring additional costs within our supply chain as a result of servicing these impacted stores, including additional stem miles for delivered product and outside storage, and expect such costs to continue negatively impacting gross margin in the near term.

General Liability Claims Development. Our self-insured general liability claims related to customer accidents and other incidents at our stores continue to develop unfavorably due to the rising costs to reimburse, settle, or litigate the claims. As a result, our actuarially determined liabilities were increased during the second quarter, contributing to a $64.3 million increase in our general liability claim expenses compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was comprised of a $45.3 million increase in the Dollar Tree segment and a $19.0 million increase in the Family Dollar segment.

The liabilities related to our self-insurance programs, which include general liability claims, are estimates that require judgment and the use of assumptions. Refer to our “Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the estimates and assumptions related to these liabilities. Such estimates are inherently uncertain, and future changes in claim trends and assumptions could result in significant adjustments to our liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations and period-over-period changes are discussed in the following section. Note that gross profit margin is calculated as gross profit (i.e., net sales less cost of sales) divided by net sales. The cost of sales rate is calculated by dividing cost of sales by net sales. The selling, general and administrative expense rate, operating income margin and net income margin are calculated by dividing the applicable amount by total revenue. Basis points, as referred to below, are a percentage of net sales for expense categories within gross profit and cost of sales, and are a percentage of total revenue for all other expense categories. A 100 basis point increase equals 1.00% and a 1 basis point increase equals 0.01%.

The following table contains results of operations data for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023:

Net Sales


	13 Weeks Ended								26 Weeks Ended
(dollars in millions)	August 3, 2024			July 29, 2023			Percentage Change		August 3, 2024			July 29, 2023			Percentage Change
Net sales	$	7,372.7		$	7,320.1		0.7	%	$	14,999.1		$	14,639.6		2.5	%
Comparable store net sales change	0.7		%	6.9		%			0.8		%	5.9		%

The increase in net sales in the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was a result of the comparable store net sales increase in the Dollar Tree segment, and net sales of $336.2 million at non-comparable stores. The increase was partially offset by lower sales on the Family Dollar segment resulting from approximately 655 stores closed under the portfolio optimization review since the same period last year, and a comparable store net sales decrease for that segment. For the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, net sales at non-comparable stores included $10.7 million from the Family Dollar stores that were closed under the portfolio optimization review in the second quarter of this year.

Enterprise comparable store net sales increased 0.7% in the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, as a result of a 1.1% increase in customer traffic, partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in average ticket. Comparable store net sales increased 1.3% in the Dollar Tree segment and decreased 0.1% in the Family Dollar segment.

Table of Contents

The increase in net sales in the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was a result of the comparable store net sales increase in the Dollar Tree segment, and net sales of $846.9 million at non-comparable stores. The increase was partially offset by lower sales on the Family Dollar segment resulting from approximately 655 stores closed under the portfolio optimization review since the same period last year. For the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, net sales at non-comparable stores included $189.9 million from the Family Dollar stores that were closed under the portfolio optimization review in the first half of this year.

Enterprise comparable store net sales increased 0.8% in the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, as a result of a 1.6% increase in customer traffic, partially offset by a 0.8% decrease in average ticket. Comparable store net sales increased 1.5% in the Dollar Tree segment and was flat in the Family Dollar segment. The low single-digit comparable store net sales increase was primarily impacted by the macro economic environment which continues to affect our customers due to the impact of inflationary pressures and higher interest rates. We expect these sales trends, and the resulting negative impact on operating income, to continue into the second half of fiscal 2024.

Gross Profit


	13 Weeks Ended								26 Weeks Ended
(dollars in millions)	August 3, 2024			July 29, 2023			Percentage Change		August 3, 2024			July 29, 2023			Percentage Change

Gross profit margin increased during the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 due to an 80 basis point decrease in cost of sales. The cost of sales rate decreased to 70.0% during the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 from 70.8% during the same period last year primarily due to lower freight costs, partially offset by increased sales of higher cost consumable merchandise, higher occupancy costs on the Dollar Tree segment resulting from the loss of leverage from the low single-digit comparable store net sales increase, and higher distribution costs on the Family Dollar segment.

Gross profit margin increased during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 due to a 60 basis point decrease in cost of sales. The cost of sales rate decreased to 69.6% during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 from 70.2% during the same period last year primarily due to lower freight costs, partially offset by increased sales of higher cost consumable merchandise, higher distribution costs and increased shrink costs due to unfavorable physical inventory results.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The selling, general and administrative expense rate increased 200 basis points during the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 primarily due to unfavorable development of general liability claims, higher depreciation expense from store investments, temporary labor on the Dollar Tree segment to support our multi-price rollout, higher utilities costs, and loss of leverage from the low single-digit comparable store net sales increase. The increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs.

The selling, general and administrative expense rate increased 130 basis points during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 primarily due to unfavorable development of general liability claims, higher depreciation expense from store investments, temporary labor on the Dollar Tree segment to support our multi-price rollout, higher utilities costs, and loss of leverage from the low single-digit comparable store net sales increase. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in legal costs as the prior year included a $30.0 million accrual for DC 202-related legal matters on the Family Dollar segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We invest capital to build and open new stores, expand and renovate existing stores, enhance and grow our distribution network, operate our existing stores, maintain and upgrade our technology, and support our other strategic initiatives. Our working capital requirements for existing stores are seasonal in nature and typically reach their peak in the months of September and October. We have satisfied our seasonal working capital requirements for existing and new stores and have funded our distribution network programs and other capital projects from internally generated funds and borrowings under our credit facilities and commercial paper program.

Table of Contents

The following table compares cash flow-related information for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023:


	26 Weeks Ended
(in millions)	August 3, 2024		July 29, 2023
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,002.6	$	923.8
Investing activities	(950.0)		(781.0)
Financing activities	(164.9)		(272.2)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $78.8 million primarily due to higher current year earnings, excluding non-cash items. In addition, an increase in accounts payable was partially offset by inventory levels decreasing at a lower rate compared to the prior year and other changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $169.0 million primarily due to higher capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $107.3 million primarily due to borrowings under our commercial paper program in the current year, partially offset by an increase in stock repurchases.

At August 3, 2024, our long-term borrowings were $3.45 billion, of which $1.0 billion matures in May 2025, and we had $1.5 billion available under our Revolving Credit Facility, less amounts outstanding for standby letters of credit totaling $4.1 million. We also have a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to an aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.5 billion. Our Revolving Credit Facility serves as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes outstanding under the program. As of August 3, 2024, $250.0 million principal amount of notes were outstanding under the commercial paper program. Additionally, we have $300.0 million in trade letters of credit with various financial institutions, under which $7.4 million was committed to letters of credit issued for routine purchases of imported merchandise as of August 3, 2024.

We repurchased 3,283,837 and 1,728,713 shares of common stock on the open market at a cost of $403.6 million and $252.0 million, including applicable excise tax, during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. At August 3, 2024, we had $952.4 million remaining under our existing $2.5 billion Board repurchase authorization.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates.

Refer to Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024, for a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of our business, including the impact of interest rate changes, diesel fuel cost changes and inflation. We may enter into interest rate or diesel fuel swaps to manage exposure to interest rate and diesel fuel price changes. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging and we do not hold derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk relates to our Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under our commercial paper program. At August 3, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and there were $250.0 million principal amount of notes outstanding under the commercial paper program. A hypothetical increase of one percentage point on such borrowings would not materially affect our results of operations or cash flows.

Inflation Risk

The primary inflationary factors impacting our business include changes to the costs of merchandise, transportation (including the cost of diesel fuel), and labor. If these inflationary pressures become significant, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs

through price increases on the Family Dollar segment or through adjustments to our product assortment, improvements in operational efficiencies or increases in our comparable store net sales on the Dollar Tree segment. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management has carried out, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 3, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed and functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

We are undergoing a multi-year technology transformation which includes updating our core merchandise, warehouse management, point-of-sale, and human capital management systems. These updates are expected to continue over the next few years and management will continue to evaluate the design and implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting as the transformation continues. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
