Springfield, New Jersey – December 6, 2018 – Village Super Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:VLGEA) today reported its results of operations for the first quarter ended October 27, 2018.
Net income was $6,269,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $3,016,000 in the first quarter of the prior year. The first quarter of fiscal 2019 includes a $290,000 gain for Superstorm Sandy insurance proceeds received. Excluding this item from the first quarter of fiscal 2019, net income increased 98% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the prior year primarily due to increased same store sales, higher gross profit margins and the favorable impact of the Tax Act.
Sales were $401,550,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, an increase of 3.7% compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Sales increased 3.7% due to the opening of the Bronx, New York City store on June 28, 2018 and a same store sales increase of 1.3%. Sames store sales increased due primarily to growth in recently remodeled and expanded stores partially offset by the impact of one competitor store opening. The Company expects same store sales in fiscal 2019 to increase .5% to 2.5%. New stores and replacement stores are included in same store sales in the quarter after the store has been in operation for four full quarters. Store renovations and expansions are included in same store sales immediately.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 27.92% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 27.05% in the first quarter of the prior year primarily due to decreased promotional spending, increased departmental gross margin percentages, a favorable change in product mix, increased patronage dividends and other rebates from Wakefern and decreased warehouse assessment charges from Wakefern.
Operating and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.98% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 24.06% in the first quarter of the prior year due primarily to a gain for Superstorm Sandy insurance proceeds received (.10%). Excluding this gain, Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased .02% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of the prior year.
Village Super Market operates a chain of 30 supermarkets under the ShopRite name in New Jersey, Maryland, northeastern Pennsylvania and New York City.
