● | Net sales increased 13.7% to $425.8 million from $374.5 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 4.9%, with retail store same store sales increasing 4.3% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 10.1%.

● | Gross profit was $152.9 million, or 35.9% of net sales, compared to $133.9 million, or 35.8% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to an increase in sales and merchandise margin, partially offset by the occupancy costs of new stores. The increase in gross profit rate of 10 basis points was driven primarily by a 70 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 60 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 100 basis points primarily as a result of higher incentive-based compensation, legal expenses, and marketing expenses in the current year, partially offset by lower store payroll expenses.

● | Income from operations increased $1.4 million to $40.0 million, or 9.4% of net sales, compared to $38.6 million, or 10.3% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above.

● | Gross profit was $309.6 million, or 36.5% of net sales, compared to $275.9 million, or 36.4% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to an increase in sales and merchandise margin, partially offset by the occupancy costs of new stores. The increase in gross profit rate of 10 basis points was driven primarily by an 80 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 70 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs. The increase in merchandise margin rate was the result of supply chain efficiencies, while the deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the occupancy costs of new stores.
