Burlington Stores Inc. traded flat at $290.68 after the off-price department store retailer reported a 28% increase in net income in the fiscal second quarter ending on August 2.

Consolidated revenue increased to $2.7 billion from $2.46 billion, net income jumped to $94.2 million from $73.8 million, and diluted earnings per share rose to $1.47 from $1.15 a year ago.

During the fiscal second quarter, Burlington returned a total of $26 million to shareholders through the repurchase of 102,474 shares of its common stock. 

As of the end of the fiscal second quarter, the company had $632 million remaining under its share repurchase program authorizations.

The company guided third-quarter net sales to increase between 5% and 7%, comparable store sales to rise between zero and 2%, an effective tax rate expected to be 25%, and adjusted diluted earnings per share between $1.50 and $1.60.

The company guided full-year net sales to increase between 7% and 8%, comparable store sales to rise between 1% and 2%, an effective tax rate expected to be 25%, and adjusted diluted earnings per share between $9.19 and $9.59.

“Comparable store sales increased 5%, which was on top of 5% comparable store sales growth in the second quarter of last year," said CEO Michael O’Sullivan.

O'Sullivan added adjusted EBIT margin increased 120 basis points, while adjusted EPS grew 39% versus the second quarter of last year, driven by "higher merchandise margin, lower freight expense, and leverage on SG&A expenses.”
