Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Ross Stores delivered a record-breaking Q1 with 17% comparable store sales growth — the highest in its 40-year history — driven by double-digit customer count gains across all demographics and a transaction-led comp. Operating margin expanded 120 basis points to 13.4% on 85bps of merchandise margin improvement and occupancy leverage. Management raised full-year EPS guidance by approximately 6% to $7.50-$7.74, citing broad-based strength across every merchandise category and geography, with the Midwest leading and ladies and cosmetics as standouts. The company sees itself in the early stages of a multi-initiative transformation spanning marketing modernization, brand strategy, and store experience, with the customer acquisition flywheel continuing to accelerate.
