Grocery Outlet Q3 net sales rise 5.4% to $1.17 billion; profit falls, FY guidance cut
Grocery Outlet reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 net sales up 5.4% to $1.17 billion, with comparable store sales up 1.2%. Net income fell to $11.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, from $24.2 million, or $0.24, a year earlier, and the company lowered its fiscal 2025 comparable store sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance, which matters to shareholders because it signals weaker same-store growth and profit than previously expected.
