- “As we look ahead, we remain confident in our ability to drive long-term growth and shareholder value led by our continued focus on executing our strategic priorities and delivering significant value to our members,” said Laura Felice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BJ's Wholesale Club. “With respect to our outlook, we continue to expect fiscal 2024 comparable club sales, excluding the impact of gasoline sales, to increase 1% to 2% year-over-year, with traffic and unit growth as well as a strong perishables business likely driving us to the higher end of the range. Our business model and long-term strategies have allowed us to invest in our value proposition to help our members stretch their dollar. As we do what’s right for our members, we expect our fiscal 2024 merchandise gross margins to remain approximately flat year-over-year. Finally, we continue to expect our fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS to range from $3.75 to $4.00, with our investments for the long term potentially driving us toward the low end of the range.”
