CEO Rick Dreiling's Commentary: 

🔸 "We are encouraged by the continuous progress we are making in the transformation underway at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar, despite immense pressures from a challenging macro environment. Customers are responding favorably to initiatives like our expanded multi-price offering and we are already seeing a meaningful sales lift at the 1,600 Dollar Tree stores that have been converted to our newest in-line multi-price format."


CFO Jeff Davis' Insight: 

🔸 "Our adjusted EPS of $0.67 was $0.38 below the midpoint of our previous outlook range. While the vast majority of this variance was attributable to an adjustment of our general liability accrual, a portion was attributable to a comp shortfall which reflected the increasing effect of macro pressures on the purchasing behavior of Dollar Tree’s middle- and higher-income customers."


Strategic Updates: 

🔸 Ongoing review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business segment, including potential sale, spin-off, or other disposition.

🔸 Implemented a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review, resulting in the closure of approximately 655 underperforming Family Dollar stores, with plans to close an additional 45 stores by the end of FY2024.

🔸 Tornado damage at the Marietta, Oklahoma distribution center led to $117M in losses, fully offset by insurance recoveries.


Revised FY2024 Outlook: 

🔸 The updated full-year guidance reflects Q2 results, a more conservative sales outlook, incremental conversion costs for recently acquired 99 Cents Only Stores leases, and higher depreciation and amortization expenses.
