2025 Annual Earnings Highlights
Key Highlights
Net Sales Growth Strong Net merchandise sales reached $5.15B, increasing 7.7% driven by 5.9% transaction growth and 1.7% average ticket increase.
Membership Income Rises Membership income grew 13.7% to $85.6M, supported by a 6.2% increase in total member accounts to 2.01M.

Club Footprint Expansion Total warehouse clubs increased to 56 locations across 12 countries and one U.S. territory by fiscal year end.
Risk Factors
Foreign Currency Volatility Threat Currency fluctuations caused a $36.8M negative impact on FY2025 net merchandise sales, especially in Colombia (-6.2% comparable sales impact).
Cost Inflation Pressures Profitability vulnerable to increases in merchandise, wage, and shipping costs, potentially reducing margins if pricing cannot fully offset.
Political Instability Exposure Operations face risks from political instability, citing roadblocks in Panama during Q3 FY2025 and civil unrest in Colombia previously.
Supply Chain Disruption Risk Reliance on international shipping exposes operations to potential disruptions from port strikes or governmental restrictions on imports.
Outlook
New Club Openings Planned Three new warehouse clubs planned for opening in FY2026 (Dominican Republic, Jamaica x2), expanding total operations to 59 clubs.
Chile Market Entry Advance Advancing planned expansion into Chile, appointing a country general manager and securing an executory agreement for a potential site.
Technology Investment Focus Making significant investments in technology, including migrating to the RELEX and Elera point-of-sale systems for efficiency gains.
Platinum Membership Growth Focus on increasing Platinum Membership value, which grew to represent 17.9% of the total membership base as of August 31, 2025.
