BKE: 10-Q · periodic report
The Buckle, Inc. filed its Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended August 1, 2026, reporting net sales of $319.8 million, up 4.6% from $305.7 million a year earlier, on comparable store sales growth of 2.1%. Quarterly net income slipped to $44.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, from $45.0 million, or $0.89, in the prior-year quarter.
First-half results were stronger: net sales rose 5.3% to $608.6 million and net income climbed 13.8% to $91.3 million ($1.79 diluted EPS vs. $1.59), though performance was aided by a one-time $19.1 million interchange fee litigation settlement recognized in the first quarter. Second-quarter gross margin improved to 47.8% from 47.4%, helped 0.65 points by tariff refunds, while higher marketing, store labor, and health insurance costs pushed operating margin down to 17.4% from 18.4%.
The balance sheet remains a standout: $264.8 million in cash, $322.9 million in total cash and investments, and no borrowings under the $25.0 million Wells Fargo credit line. Year-to-date operating cash flow was $96.0 million, and management guided fiscal 2026 capital expenditures to $60.0-$65.0 million while planning 6 more new stores and 4 remodels, ending the quarter with 446 stores across 42 states.
Buckle paid $36.1 million in dividends year-to-date ($0.70 per share) but made no share repurchases during the quarter, leaving 410,655 shares available under its longstanding 1,000,000-share authorization from 2008.
