Dollar General grows net sales 6.5% in Q1 amid planned growth
GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. — Higher customer spending and lower advertising costs not only boosted Dollar General’s profits, but contributed to better-than-expected first-quarter earnings.
For the period ended May 5, the discounter’s net sales increased by 6.5% to $5.61 billion, compared to $5.27 billion in first quarter 2016. Net income fell to $279.5 million, or $1.02 per share from $295.1 million, or $1.03 per share, a year earlier. However, this still beat the average analysts' estimate of $1 per share, according to Thomson Reuters.
BJ's announced that Scott Kessler has been named EVP, CIO, effective immediately. He succeeds Peter Amalfi, who plans to retire later this year.
