Automotive components retailer AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE: AZO) on Tuesday stated its third-quarter internet gross sales and earnings elevated modestly from final yr.
The corporate reported internet gross sales of $4.24 billion for the third quarter, a rise of 4% from the identical interval of fiscal 2023. Complete same-store gross sales, or gross sales at home and worldwide shops open at the least one yr, moved up 1.9%.
Internet earnings got here in at $651.7 million or $36.69 per share in Q3, in comparison with $647.7 million or $34.12 per share within the corresponding interval of final yr.
“Domestically, our sales performance was negatively impacted at the start of the quarter due to the timing of tax refunds while the cooler-than-usual weather across several areas of the country negatively impacted our results later in the quarter. Conversely, we were pleased with the strong same-store sales results we achieved in our international business,” stated Phil Daniele, CEO of AutoZone.
