Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ:TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States (the "Company"), today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.

Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 3.3% to $3.90 Billion with Comparable Store Sales Increase of 0.3%
Fiscal Year 2025 Net Sales Increased 4.3% to $15.52 Billion with Comparable Store Sales Increase of 1.2%
Fourth Quarter Diluted Earnings per Share ("EPS") of $0.43 and Fiscal Year 2025 Diluted EPS of $2.06
Company Provides Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance with Net Sales Growth of 4% to 6% and Diluted EPS of $2.13 to $2.23

"Our fourth quarter results came in below our expectations and reflected a shift in consumer spending, with essential categories remaining resilient while discretionary demand moderated. Against that backdrop, our team stayed focused on executing the fundamentals of the business, growing share in the farm and ranch channel and continuing to engage our customers. I want to thank our more than 52,000 Team Members for their continued dedication to the work they do every day across our stores, distribution centers and store support center," said Hal Lawton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tractor Supply.

"Overall, 2025 was a year of meaningful progress. We continued to gain market share, opened productive new stores and advanced Project Fusion and localization. At the same time, we built the capabilities needed to support Direct Sales, Final Mile and pet and animal prescriptions. As we move into 2026, we are prepared to operate with discipline across a range of economic conditions. With much of our strategic foundation now in place, we remain focused on executing our Life Out Here 2030 strategic initiatives and delivering a more consistent performance profile over time," said Lawton.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Net sales increased 3.3% to $3.90 billion from $3.77 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net sales was driven by new store openings, the growth in comparable store sales and the contribution from Allivet. Comparable store sales increased 0.3%, as compared to an increase of 0.6% in the prior year's fourth quarter, reflecting comparable average ticket growth of 0.3%. The continued strength in consumable, usable and edible products was partially offset by the lack of emergency-response-related demand and ongoing pressure in discretionary categories including big ticket products.

Gross profit increased 3.0% to $1.37 billion from $1.33 billion in the prior year's fourth quarter. Gross margin rate was 35.1% compared to 35.2% in the prior year's fourth quarter, as ongoing cost management initiatives were offset by higher tariffs, incremental promotional activity and increased delivery-related transportation costs.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 6.0% to $1.07 billion from $1.01 billion in the prior year's fourth quarter. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 27.5% from 26.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024. 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 a disciplined focus on productivity and ongoing cost control.

Operating income decreased 6.5% to $297.7 million from $318.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The effective income tax rate was 19.0% compared to 21.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting the timing of certain tax planning initiatives.

Net income decreased 3.8% to $227.4 million from $236.4 million. Diluted EPS decreased 2.7% to $0.43 compared to $0.44 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock for $117.5 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $121.4 million, returning a total of $238.9 million of capital to shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Company opened 31 new Tractor Supply stores and one new Petsense by Tractor Supply store in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Fiscal Year 2025 Results

Net sales increased 4.3% to $15.52 billion from $14.88 billion in fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by new store openings and growth in comparable store sales. Comparable store sales increased 1.2%, compared to fiscal 2024.

Gross profit increased 4.8% to $5.65 billion from $5.40 billion in fiscal 2024. Gross margin rate was 36.4% compared to 36.3% in fiscal 2024.

SG&A expenses increased 6.6% to $4.19 billion from $3.93 billion in fiscal 2024. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 27.0% from 26.4% in fiscal 2024.

Operating income was $1.47 billion, in line with prior year.

The effective income tax rate was 21.6% compared to 22.1% in fiscal 2024.

Net income was essentially flat with the prior year at $1.10 billion. Diluted EPS increased 0.9% to $2.06 compared to $2.04 in fiscal 2024.

The Company repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of its common stock for $360.8 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $487.7 million, returning a total of $848.5 million of capital to shareholders in fiscal 2025.

During fiscal 2025, the Company opened 99 new Tractor Supply stores and five new Petsense by Tractor Supply stores and closed four Petsense by Tractor Supply stores.
