Third Quarter 2024 Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 increased 1.6% to $3.47 billion from $3.41 billion in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net sales was driven by new store openings. Comparable store sales declined 0.2%, as compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven by a comparable average transaction count increase of 0.3%, offset by a comparable average ticket decrease of 0.5%. Comparable store sales results reflect continued strength in big ticket categories, partially offset by declines in year-round discretionary categories. As expected, consumable, usable and edible products were modestly negative with positive unit growth offset by average unit price pressure.
Gross profit increased 3.2% to $1.29 billion from $1.25 billion in the prior year’s third quarter, and gross margin increased 56 basis points to 37.2% from 36.7% in the prior year’s third quarter. The gross margin rate increase was primarily attributable to ongoing lower transportation costs along with disciplined product cost management and the continued execution of an everyday low price strategy. These improvements in gross margin rate were partially offset by growth in big ticket categories, which have below chain-average margins.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 6.2% to $965.8 million from $909.6 million in the prior year’s third quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 119 basis points to 27.8% from 26.7% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales was primarily attributable to planned growth investments including the onboarding of a new distribution center, lapping a one-time depreciation expense benefit in the prior year of $11 million or approximately 35 basis points and modest deleverage of the Company’s fixed costs given the slight decline in comparable store sales. These factors were partially offset by a disciplined focus on productivity, cost control and modest benefits from the Company’s sale-leaseback strategy.
Operating income was $324.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $340.9 million in the third quarter of 2023.
The effective income tax rate was 22.3% compared to 23.0% in the third quarter of 2023.
Net income decreased 5.3% to $241.5 million from $255.0 million. Diluted EPS decreased 3.9% to $2.24 compared to $2.33 in the third quarter of 2023. The above-mentioned one-time depreciation expense adjustment benefited the prior year’s diluted EPS by $0.08.
The Company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of its common stock for $149.8 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $117.8 million, returning a total of $267.6 million of capital to shareholders in the third quarter of 2024.
The Company opened 16 new Tractor Supply stores in the third quarter of 2024.
