Analysis · SVV · Trade & Services
A strong second quarter saw net sales climb 7.4%, powered by a 6.6% gain in U.S. comparable store sales — marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth. Confidence in margin expansion is evident in the raised full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance, now $265–$275 million. The debut of ThriftIQ, a proprietary pricing platform that has already delivered a roughly 100 basis point gross profit uplift in pilot stores, represents a concrete innovation poised to accelerate profitability as it rolls out across the chain through 2028. Together with ongoing share buybacks and a recent debt repricing that lowers interest costs, the results and outlook reinforce a positive operating trajectory.
