Casey's General Stores Inc (NASDAQ:CASY) achieved a record year for diluted earnings per share, reaching $14.64, a 9% increase from the prior year. The company reported a record $547 million in net income and $1.2 billion in EBITDA, marking a 13% increase from the previous year. Fiscal 2025 was the largest store growth year in the company's history, with 35 new builds and 235 units acquired, including the significant Fikes Wholesale acquisition. Total inside sales grew by 10.9%, with prepared food and dispensed beverage sales increasing by 10.3%, and grocery and general merchandise sales rising by 11.2%. Fuel gross profit increased by 11%, with total fuel gallons sold up 13% and a fuel margin averaging $0.387 per gallon over the year. The integration of the Fikes acquisition presents challenges, with some synergies, particularly in procurement and kitchen installations, not expected to be realized until after fiscal 2026. Same store operating expenses, excluding credit card fees, increased by 1.7%, with insurance expenses contributing to the rise. Net interest expense rose to $27.9 million, primarily due to financing associated with the Fikes transaction. The effective tax rate increased to 23% from 22.4% in the prior year, due to a slight decrease in favorable permanent differences. The company faces a $0.02 per gallon headwind due to the CEFCO stores, impacting overall fuel margins. Q: Fuel margins came in better than expected despite the CEFCO headwind. Can you discuss progress on synergies and expectations for fiscal '26? A: Darren Rebelez, CEO: Our team managed the fuel pricing environment well, capturing more margin due to fluctuations in wholesale costs. Progress in upstream fuel procurement also contributed to stronger margins. We expect the $0.02 CEFCO headwind to persist throughout fiscal '26. Q: Can you unpack the 41% combined inside margins for grocery and prepared foods? A: Steve Bramlage, CFO: The Fikes acquisition will put downward pressure on margins, especially in prepared foods due to their lack of pizza business. However, product mix enhancements and strong performance in categories like non-alcoholic beverages and nicotine alternatives are offsetting this pressure. Q: What is the outlook for same-store sales in fiscal '26, and can you elaborate on the wings test? A: Darren Rebelez, CEO: We are comfortable with the 2% to 5% range, factoring in some conservatism due to global uncertainties. The wings test in 225 stores is showing encouraging results, with strong guest feedback, but it's still in the testing phase. Q: How is the illicit vape market impacting your sales, and what are you doing about it? A: Darren Rebelez, CEO: The illicit vape market is impacting the vape category, leading to declines. We are working with tobacco manufacturers to increase enforcement. However, nicotine alternatives, especially pouches, are growing, with a 54% increase in sales due to merchandising efforts. Q: Can you discuss the pace of kitchen installations at acquired CEFCO stores and the supply contract timeline? A: Darren Rebelez, CEO: We haven't built in any kitchen conversions for this fiscal year due to permitting timelines. The existing supply contract with CEFCO stores ends in 2026, and we are working with the incumbent supplier on this agreement.

Release Date: June 10, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Designer Brands Inc (NYSE:DBI) achieved two consecutive quarters of year-over-year adjusted operating income growth. The company implemented expense cuts resulting in a 6% reduction in operating expenses for the quarter. Topo brand showed impressive growth, with sales increasing by 84% year-over-year. The company is focusing on strategic partnerships and data-driven insights to optimize its product assortment. DBI is actively diversifying its sourcing to mitigate tariff impacts, expecting less than half of its sourcing to come from China by the end of the year. First quarter comparable sales declined by 8%, reflecting weakening consumer sentiment. US retail reported a 7.3% decline in comps and a 7.7% decline in total sales. Canadian sales declined by 2.9% with comps down 9.2%, affected by similar consumer sentiment issues as in the US. Consolidated gross margin decreased by nearly 120 basis points due to increased markdowns. The company withdrew its forward-looking guidance due to the highly volatile macro-environment. Q: Can you explain the relationship between the $20 million to $30 million in savings and the anticipated increase in SG&A expenses this year? A: Initially, we anticipated a $30 million headwind due to no bonus accrual for FY24. We started this year without a bonus accrual, providing about $10 million in favorability for Q1. However, we will face a headwind in Q3 due to last year's bonus reversal. Despite not providing guidance, we expect $20 million to $30 million in cuts below last year's SG&A for 2025. Q: Could you elaborate on the performance of the Canadian and brand portfolio segments, particularly regarding comps? A: In Canada, consumer sentiment mirrors the US, with volatility affecting comps. Rubino's addition caused some noise, but the sentiment remains similar. The brand portfolio saw mixed results; Topo grew 84%, while Keds faced top-line headwinds due to last year's liquidation but improved gross margins. Q: What trends are you seeing in Q2, and how are tariffs impacting your business? A: Q2 trends are similar to Q1's exit. Tariffs mainly affect consumer sentiment and volatility. Our brand portfolio team mitigated a potential $100 million gross profit pressure through negotiations and selective pricing. We're working with national brand partners to manage price increases while maintaining our IMU. Q: Can you provide insights into Topo's growth and expectations for 2025? A: Topo grew 84% in the quarter, driven by door expansion and new product launches. It's in 1,200 distribution points, and we expect this trend to continue. We're optimistic about its growth potential as we're just getting started with the brand. Q: How did the athletic wear segment perform in the US, and what are your expectations? A: Athletic and athleisure outperformed other categories, with DSW gaining market share in Q1. The top eight brands, mostly athletic, were flat in Q1, indicating strong relative performance. This aligns with our strategy over the past 18 months. Q: How are you planning for back-to-school and holiday seasons, and how are you navigating tariff mitigation? A: We're cautiously optimistic about back-to-school, with strong performance last year and buoyant kids' business. Inventory is well-managed, and the category is less affected by tariffs. For the holiday season, we're prepared to execute our playbook, focusing on gifting and marketing. Tariff mitigation involves diversifying sourcing and maintaining flexibility. Q: What are your strategies for mitigating tariff impacts, and how does it affect your sourcing? A: We accelerated diversification outside China, with options to reduce sourcing from China to 5%. However, China remains a stable and cost-effective supply chain for non-athletic footwear. Less than 20% of our products are directly controlled, so we work closely with partners on sourcing decisions. Q: How are you managing inventory and pricing in response to the current environment? A: We're closely monitoring inventory investments to align with demand and maintain flexibility. Pricing strategies involve maintaining IMU while working with brand partners to manage price increases. Our focus is on delivering value through inventory, pricing, and messaging.
