Current report
The increase in capital expenditures for new stores, relocated stores and stores not yet opened in fiscal 2025 is primarily driven by the increase in new store openings and the construction of owned, fixed-fee development stores. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 included the opening of 99 new Tractor Supply stores compared to 80 new Tractor Supply stores during fiscal 2024. Partially offsetting the increase in total capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment increased in fiscal 2025 primarily driven by the sale of both new, fixed-fee development stores and existing stores as part of our sale-leaseback program.
Current report
The decrease in capital expenditures for existing stores in fiscal 2025 primarily reflects a reallocation of funds to construction of the new distribution center in Nampa, Idaho, as well efficiencies and lower average costs related to our continued Project Fusion remodels and side lot garden center transformations.
Current report
On December 30, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Allivet, an online pet pharmacy. Net cash used in investing activities includes the cash used for the acquisition of Allivet, net of cash acquired as part of the transaction.

Over the past five years, we have experienced considerable growth in stores, growing from 2,024 stores (1,844 Tractor Supply retail stores and 180 Petsense by Tractor Supply retail stores) at the end of fiscal 2019 to 2,502 stores (2,296 Tractor Supply retail stores and 206 Petsense by Tractor Supply retail stores) at the end of fiscal 2024, and in net sales, with a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 12.2%.

Comparable store metrics are a key performance indicator used in the retail industry and by the Company to measure the performance of the underlying business. Our comparable store metrics are calculated on an annual basis using sales generated from all stores open at least one year and all online sales and exclude certain adjustments to net sales. Stores closed during either of the years being compared are removed from our comparable store metrics calculations. Stores relocated during either of the years being compared are not removed from our comparable store metrics calculations. If the effect of relocated stores on our comparable store metrics calculations became material, we would remove relocated stores from the calculations. An Orscheln store will be considered a comparable store one year after its point-of-sale system conversion. Comparable store sales are intended only as supplemental information and are not a substitute for net sales presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We also have established a reserve for estimating inventory shrinkage between physical inventory counts. The reserve is established by assessing the chain-wide average shrinkage experience rate, applied to the related periods’ sales volumes. Such assessments are updated on a regular basis for the most recent individual store experiences. Our general policy is to perform physical inventories at least once a year for each store that has been open more than twelve months.

Previous wording
We do not believe our merchandise inventories are subject to significant risk of obsolescence in the near term. However, changes in market conditions or consumer purchasing patterns could result in the need for additional reserves. Our impairment reserves contain uncertainties because the calculations require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding forecasted customer demand and the promotional environment. The estimated store inventory shrink rate is based on historical experience. We believe historical rates are a reasonably accurate reflection of future trends. Our shrinkage reserve contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding future shrinkage trends, the effect of loss prevention measures and merchandising strategies.

We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to recognize inventory impairment reserves or shrinkage in the financial periods presented. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate impairment or shrinkage. However, if assumptions regarding consumer demand, clearance potential or inventory loss for certain products are inaccurate, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material. A 10% change in our inventory impairment reserve as of December 28, 2024, would have affected net income by approximately $2.5 million in fiscal 2024. A 10% change in our shrinkage reserve as of December 28, 2024, would have affected net income by approximately $4.7 million in fiscal 2024.

We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish our self-insurance reserves in the financial periods presented. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the assumptions we use to calculate insurance reserves. However, if we experience a significant increase in the number of claims or the cost associated with these claims, we may be exposed to losses that could be material. A 10% change in our self-insurance reserves as of December 28, 2024, would have affected net income by approximately $11.4 million in fiscal 2024.

Net sales increased 2.2% to $14.88 billion in fiscal 2024 from $14.56 billion in fiscal 2023. Comparable store sales increased 0.2% from the prior year and represented $14.44 billion in sales. The comparable store average transaction value decreased 0.6% and comparable store average transaction count increased 0.8% for fiscal 2024, as compared to an increase of 0.4% and decrease of 0.4% in fiscal 2023, respectively. Comparable store sales performance reflects merchandise category performance within a relatively tight band, with strength in Seasonal categories and big ticket merchandise. The growth of C.U.E. products was in line with the chain average as positive unit growth was offset by average unit price pressure, principally due to commodity price deflation.
Current wording
Net sales increased 4.3% to $15.52 billion in fiscal 2025 from $14.88 billion in fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was driven by new store openings, the contribution from Allivet, and the 1.2% increase in comparable store sales. Comparable store sales increased 1.2% from the prior year and represented $15.04 billion in sales. The comparable store average transaction value decreased 0.2% and comparable store average transaction count increased 1.4% for fiscal 2025, as compared to a decrease of 0.6% and increase of 0.8% in fiscal 2024, respectively. Comparable store sales growth was driven by strength in both C.U.E. and seasonal categories, partially offset by softness in emergency response and discretionary categories including big ticket products.
Previous wording
Sales from stores opened less than one year were $426.2 million in fiscal 2024, which contributed a net 2.1 percentage points of the 2.2% increase over fiscal 2023 net sales. Sales from stores opened less than one year and stores from the Orscheln acquisition were $652.8 million in fiscal 2023, which represented 4.1 percentage points of the 2.5% increase over fiscal 2022 net sales.
Current wording
Sales from stores opened less than one year, including Allivet sales, were $467.0 million in fiscal 2025, which contributed a net 3.1 percentage points of the 4.3% increase over fiscal 2024 net sales. Sales from stores opened less than one year were $426.2 million in fiscal 2024, which represented 2.1 percentage points of the 2.2% increase over fiscal 2023 net sales.

Gross profit increased 3.2% to $5.40 billion in fiscal 2024 compared to $5.23 billion in fiscal 2023. As a percent of net sales, gross margin increased 34 basis points to 36.3% for fiscal 2024 compared to 35.9% for fiscal 2023. The gross margin rate increase was primarily attributable to lower transportation costs along with disciplined product cost management and the continued execution of an everyday low price strategy. This was partially offset by unfavorable product mix, primarily from growth in big ticket categories, which have below chain-average margins.
Current wording
Gross profit increased 4.8% to $5.65 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to $5.40 billion in fiscal 2024. As a percent of net sales, gross margin increased 16 basis points to 36.4% for fiscal 2025 compared to 36.3% for fiscal 2024. The gross margin rate increase was primarily attributable to cost management initiatives and the continued execution of an everyday low price strategy, partially offset by higher tariffs and increased delivery-related transportation costs.
Previous wording
Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 4.8% to $3.93 billion in fiscal 2024 from $3.75 billion in fiscal 2023. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 63 basis points to 26.4% from 25.8%. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the Company’s planned growth investments, which included higher depreciation and amortization and the onboarding of a new distribution center, as well as modest deleverage of the Company’s fixed costs given the level of comparable store sales growth.
Current wording
Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 6.6% to $4.19 billion in fiscal 2025 from $3.93 billion in fiscal 2024. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased 57 basis points to 27.0% from 26.4%. The increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales was primarily attributable to planned investments and fixed cost deleverage given the level of comparable store sales growth. These factors were partially offset by both a disciplined focus on productivity and ongoing cost control, as well as a modest benefit from the Company’s ongoing sale-leaseback strategy.
Previous wording
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 22.1% for fiscal 2024 compared to 22.7% in fiscal 2023. The primary drivers for the decrease in the Company's effective income tax rate year over year were a decrease in state income taxes and an increase in federal credits, partially offset by a reduction in the benefit from overall annual stock compensation activity.
Current wording
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 21.6% for fiscal 2025 compared to 22.1% in fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by the benefit associated with the purchase of transferable federal tax credits, partially offset by a reduction in the benefit from annual stock compensation activity.

Previous wording
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized common stock repurchases under a share repurchase program which was announced in February 2007. The authorization amount of the program, which has been increased from time to time, is currently authorized for up to $6.50 billion, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases.
