Burlington Stores Q1 sales rise 6% to $2.5 billion; diluted EPS $1.58 vs $1.22
Burlington Stores reported first-quarter fiscal 2025 results for the period ended May 3, 2025, with total sales up 6% to $2.5 billion and diluted EPS of $1.58 versus $1.22 a year earlier. Adjusted EPS of $1.67 was well ahead of company guidance, but the CEO said about half of that beat reflects expense timing that will weigh on the second quarter, and he warned tariffs will pressure merchandise margins. The company maintained full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $8.70 to $9.30.
