**Dollar General Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results**

*Raises Financial Guidance for Fiscal Year 2025*

GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) today reported financial results for its fiscal year 2025 second quarter (13 weeks) ended August 1, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net
 Sales Increased 5.1% to $10.7 Billion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Same-Store
 Sales Increased 2.8%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Operating
 Profit Increased 8.3% to $595.4 Million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Diluted
 Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Increased 9.4% to $1.86

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Year-to-Date
 Cash Flows From Operations Increased 9.8% to $1.8 Billion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Board
 of Directors Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.59 Per Share

"We are pleased with our strong second-quarter results, including earnings growth that significantly exceeded our expectations," said Todd Vasos, Dollar General's chief executive officer. "Our improved execution, along with our progress advancing key initiatives, is resonating with both existing and new customers as we further enhance our value and convenience proposition. I want to thank our team for their ongoing commitment and dedication to fulfilling our mission of *Serving Others* every day in more than 20,000 stores across the country."

"Looking ahead, we believe we have ample opportunity to drive growth and further improve our operating and financial performance, as we continue to work toward achieving the goals laid out in our long-term financial framework. We are proud of our progress, confident in the future of this resilient business model, and excited about the opportunity to further create sustainable long-term value for our customers, associates, and shareholders."

**<u>Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights</u>**

Net sales increased 5.1% to $10.7 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $10.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The net sales increase was driven by positive sales contributions from new stores and growth in same-store sales, partially offset by the impact of store closures. Same-store sales increased 2.8% compared to the second quarter of 2024, reflecting a 1.5% increase in customer traffic and a 1.2% increase in average transaction amount. Same-store sales in the second quarter of 2025 included growth in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products, and apparel categories.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.3% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 30.0% in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 137 basis points. This gross profit rate increase was driven primarily by lower shrink, higher inventory markups, and lower inventory damages; partially offset by an increased LIFO provision, increased markdowns, and increased distribution costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of net sales were 25.8% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 24.6% in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 121 basis points. The primary expenses that were a higher percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2025 were incentive compensation, repairs and maintenance, and benefits.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2025 increased 8.3% to $595.4 million compared to $550.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased 15.3% to $57.7 million compared to $68.1 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2025 was 23.5% compared to 22.3% in the second quarter of 2024.

The Company reported net income of $411.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 10.0% compared to $374.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Diluted EPS increased 9.4% to $1.86 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to diluted EPS of $1.70 in the second quarter of 2024.

**<u>Merchandise Inventories</u>**

As of August 1, 2025, total merchandise inventories, at cost, were $6.6 billion compared to $7.0 billion as of August 2, 2024, a decrease of 7.4% on an average per-store basis.

**<u>Capital Expenditures</u>**

Total additions to property and equipment in the 26-week period ended August 1, 2025 were $694 million, including approximately: $365 million for improvements, upgrades, remodels and relocations of existing stores; $151 million for distribution and transportation-related projects; $143 million related to store facilities, primarily for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment in new stores; and $32 million for information systems upgrades and technology-related projects. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company opened 204 new stores, remodeled 729 stores through Project Elevate and 592 stores through Project Renovate, and relocated 15 stores.

**<u>Dividend</u>**

On August 27, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share on the Company's common stock, payable on or before October 21, 2025, to shareholders of record on October 7, 2025. While the Board of Directors currently intends to continue regular cash dividends, the declaration and amount of future dividends are subject to the sole discretion of the Board and will depend upon, among other things, the Company's results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, excess debt capacity, and other factors the Board may deem relevant in its sole discretion.

**<u>Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Guidance and Store Growth Outlook</u>**

The Company is raising its financial expectations for the year, primarily to reflect its outperformance in the second quarter, as well as its improved outlook for the second half of the year, while also taking into consideration the potential for uncertainty related to consumer behavior.

The Company now expects the following for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2026 ("fiscal year 2025"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net
 sales growth of approximately 4.3% to 4.8%, compared to its previous expectation of approximately
 3.7% to 4.7%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Same-store
 sales growth of approximately 2.1% to 2.6%, compared to its previous expectation of approximately
 1.5% to 2.5%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Diluted
 EPS of approximately $5.80 to $6.30, compared to its previous expectation of approximately
 $5.20 to $5.80

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ° | Diluted EPS guidance continues to assume an effective tax rate of approximately 23.5% |

---

The Company continues to expect capital expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company's strategic initiatives, in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion.

The Company's financial guidance continues to assume no share repurchases in fiscal year 2025.

**<u>Forward-Looking Statements</u>**

This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements include those regarding the Company's outlook, strategy, initiatives, plans, intentions or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements made within the quotation of Mr. Vasos, and in the sections entitled "Dividend" and "Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Guidance and Store Growth Outlook."

A reader can identify forward-looking statements because they are not limited to historical fact or they use words such as "accelerate," "aim," "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "beyond," "can," "committed," "confident," "continue," "could," "drive," "estimate," "expect," "focus on," "forecast," "future," "goal," "guidance," "intend," "investments," "likely," "long-term," "looking ahead," "look to," "may," "model," "moving toward," "near-term," "ongoing," "opportunity," "outcome," "outlook," "plan," "position," "potential," "predict," "project," "prospects," "seek," "should," "subject to," "target," "uncertainty," "well-positioned," "will," "would," or "years ahead," and similar expressions that concern the Company's outlook, long-term financial framework, strategies, plans, initiatives, intentions or beliefs about future occurrences or results. These matters involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may change at any time and may cause actual results to differ materially from those which the Company expected. Many of these statements are derived from the Company's operating budgets and forecasts as of the date of this release, which are based on many detailed assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. However, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors on future results, and the Company cannot anticipate all factors that could affect future results that may be important to an investor. All forward-looking information should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 the Company from operating all or a portion of its business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· damage
 or interruption to the Company's information systems as a result of external factors,
 staffing shortages or challenges in maintaining or updating the Company's existing
