DOLLAR GENERAL CORP Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jul 31, 2026
Dollar General Corporation (DG) reported its second-quarter results for the fiscal year 2026, showcasing a 5.2% increase in net sales to $11.29 billion for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2026, compared to the same period last year. This growth was driven by a 3.5% increase in same-store sales, attributed to a 2.0% rise in customer traffic and a 1.5% increase in average transaction amount. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2026, net sales grew 4.3% to $22.08 billion, with same-store sales increasing by 2.7% driven by a 1.7% rise in customer traffic and a 1.0% increase in average transaction amount.

Dollar General Corporation (DG) reported its third quarter fiscal year 2023 results, showing a 2.4% increase in net sales to $9.69 billion, driven by new store openings. However, same-store sales decreased by 1.3%, primarily due to a decline in average transaction amount, although customer traffic saw an increase for the first time in four quarters. The company's gross profit margin declined by 147 basis points year-over-year, mainly attributed to increased inventory shrink, lower markups, and higher markdowns. Operating profit saw a significant decrease of 41.1%, impacted by higher selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales, which rose by 183 basis points. This increase in SG&A was driven by higher retail labor, depreciation, and maintenance costs. Consequently, net income fell by 47.5% to $276.2 million, with diluted earnings per share decreasing to $1.26 from $2.33 in the prior year period. The company continues to navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment impacting its value-conscious customer base.

This was supported by a strong performance in consumables, partially offset by declines in seasonal, home products, and apparel categories. However, profitability faced pressure, with gross profit decreasing by 126 basis points due to lower inventory markups and increased shrink, markdowns, and damages. Operating profit saw a significant decline of 24.2% year-over-year, impacted by higher Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, which rose by 136 basis points as a percentage of sales, largely due to increased retail labor, utilities, and depreciation.

DOLLAR GENERAL CORP Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended May 5, 2023
Dollar General Corporation (DG) reported a 6.8% increase in net sales to $9.34 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by a 1.6% increase in same-store sales and the addition of new stores. Despite the sales increase, net income declined by 6.9% to $514.4 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, down from $552.7 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, in the prior year. This decrease in profitability was attributed to higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, particularly in retail labor and repairs, as well as increased interest expenses due to higher borrowings and interest rates. The company experienced a significant decrease in cash generated from operating activities, down 57.5% to $191.1 million, largely due to increased inventory purchases as the company continues its supply chain recovery efforts and faces product cost inflation. Dollar General maintained its dividend payment of $0.59 per share and did not repurchase any shares during the quarter, aligning with its strategy to preserve its investment-grade credit rating and financial flexibility. The company also provided an updated outlook for store growth, planning to open approximately 990 new stores in the U.S. and up to 20 stores in Mexico, alongside significant remodel and relocation plans.
