Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. Announces

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Net Sales Increased 9.1%

Opened 15 New Stores and Grew Ollie’s Army 12.7%

Updating Outlook for Fiscal 2026

HARRISBURG, PA – September 2, 2026 – Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLLI) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026.

“We delivered strong earnings growth in the second quarter and continued to execute against our key strategic initiatives,” said Eric van der Valk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Comparable store sales declined 1.8% against a challenging multi-year stack. We believe our sales results were negatively impacted by the combination of less favorable weather, continued economic pressure on the consumer, and an elevated promotional environment, which all led to a more challenging backdrop than we originally expected.”

Mr. van der Valk continued, “Consumers continue to seek value and many of the same pressures affecting our customers are creating buying opportunities across the closeout market. We continue to see strong deal flow and remain committed to reinvesting in price and strengthening our competitive position. With a flexible business model, deep vendor relationships, growing scale, and a talented team, we believe Ollie's is well positioned to deliver long-term profitable growth through any retail environment.”

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights and Year-Over-Year Comparisons

•

Opened 15 new stores and closed one store related to storm damage, ending the quarter with 686 stores in 36 states, an increase of 11.9%.

•

Ollie’s Army loyalty members increased 12.7% to 18.1 million members.

•

Net sales increased 9.1% to $741.3 million, driven by new store unit growth.

•

Comparable store sales decreased 1.8%, against a 5.0% increase in last year’s second quarter, with this year’s decrease driven by a decrease in average basket size.

•

Gross margin increased 360 basis points to 43.5%. The increase was driven by lower supply chain costs, primarily from IEEPA tariff refunds and lower tariff rates. IEEPA tariff refunds benefited gross margin by 380 basis points in this year’s second quarter.

•

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 80 basis points to 26.6%, with the increase primarily driven by the deleverage of fixed costs from the decline in comparable store sales and higher marketing expenses primarily from one additional merchandise flyer in the second quarter.

•

Pre-opening expenses decreased 42.0% to $5.2 million, driven primarily by a lower number of new store openings and lower dark rent expense.

•

Adjusted net income increased 40.3% to $85.4 million and adjusted net income per diluted share increased 43.4% to $1.42.

•

Total cash and investments increased $46.8 million, to $507.1 million. This included cash and cash equivalents of $120.8 million, short-term investments of $66.7 million, and long-term investments of $319.6 million.
