Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's business, as is common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to some seasonality. The Company’s net sales and cash flows have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.
Fiscal Year
The Company follows the National Retail Federation's fiscal calendar and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal year 2025 (“2025”) consists of the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, fiscal year 2024 (“2024”) consists of the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2025, and fiscal year 2023 (“2023”) consists of the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2024. Fiscal year 2026 (“2026”) will consist of the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2027.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements, include but are not limited to, estimating workers’ compensation and general liability self-insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration Risk
The Company's clubs are primarily located in the eastern half of the United States. Sales from the New York metropolitan area comprised approximately 23% of net sales in each of fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash held in financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company considers the credit risk associated with these financial instruments to be minimal. Cash is held by financial institutions with high credit ratings and the Company has not historically sustained any credit losses associated with its cash balances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Book overdrafts not subject to offset with other accounts with the same financial institution are classified as accounts payable.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of credit card receivables and receivables from vendors related to rebates and coupons and is stated net of allowances for credit losses of $2.3 million and $2.1 million at January 31, 2026 and February 1,
2025, respectively. The determination of the allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's historical experience applied to an aging of accounts and a review of individual accounts with a known potential for write-off.
Merchandise Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined under the average cost method, or net realizable value. The Company recognizes the write-down of slow-moving or obsolete inventory in cost of sales when such write-downs are probable and estimable. The Company writes down inventory for estimated shrinkage for the period between physical inventories based on historical results of physical inventories, shrinkage trends, or other judgments management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Property and equipment which is not ready for its intended use is recorded as construction in progress. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over estimated useful lives of 33 years. Capitalizable costs related to the development of buildings is capitalized during the construction period. Leasehold costs and improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term, which includes renewal periods that are reasonably assured, or the asset’s estimated useful life. Fixtures, equipment, and software are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years.
Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are included in fixtures, equipment, and software and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years. Software costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Expenditures for betterments and major improvements that significantly enhance the value and increase the estimated useful life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over the new estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance costs on all assets are expensed as incurred.
Deferred Issuance Costs
The Company defers costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's term loan are recorded as a direct deduction of the carrying amount of long-term debt, while debt issuance costs associated with the ABL Revolving Facility are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the respective terms of the related financing arrangements on a straight-line basis, which is materially consistent with the effective interest method.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets are not subject to amortization. The Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill and trade name annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate they may be impaired. The Company has determined it has one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes and assessed the recoverability as of January 3, 2026.
The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach (“step zero”) to determine whether conditions exist to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. The Company may also elect to initially perform a quantitative analysis instead of starting with step zero. The quantitative assessment for goodwill requires comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to write down goodwill to its implied fair value and is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company assessed the recoverability of goodwill in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 and determined that there was no impairment.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its trade name whenever there are indicators of impairment, or at least annually in the fourth quarter. If the recorded carrying value of the trade name exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company records a charge to write the intangible asset down to its estimated fair value as a component of SG&A. The Company assessed the recoverability of the BJ’s trade name and determined that its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value and that no impairment was necessary in fiscal years 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Test for Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever a triggering event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred. Current and expected operating results, cash flows and other factors are considered in connection with management’s review. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows of individual clubs and an allocation of consolidated net cash flows for long-lived assets not identifiable to individual clubs. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the assets being evaluated.
Asset Retirement Obligations
An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of that long-lived asset. The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are placed in service, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement obligation is subsequently adjusted for changes in fair value. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized in leasehold improvements and depreciated over their useful lives. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future removal of gasoline tanks, solar panels, and related assets installed at leased clubs. See “Note 15. Asset Retirement Obligations” for further information on the amounts accrued.
Workers’ Compensation and General Liability Self-insurance Reserves
The Company is primarily self-insured for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, and auto liability claims. Amounts in excess of certain levels, which range from $0.3 million to $1.0 million per occurrence for workers' compensation and general liability, and up to $2.0 million per occurrence for auto liability, are insured as a risk reduction strategy to mitigate the financial impact of catastrophic losses. Reported reserves for claims are derived from estimated ultimate costs based upon individual claim file reserves and estimates for incurred but not reported claims. The estimates are developed utilizing actuarial methods and are based on historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions related to loss development factors. The inherent uncertainty of future loss projections could cause actual claims to differ from the Company's estimates. When historical losses are not a good measure of future liability, the Company bases its estimates of ultimate liability on its interpretation of current law, claims filed to date, and other relevant factors which are subject to change. Accruals for such claims, if any, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition - Performance Obligations
The Company identifies each distinct performance obligation to transfer goods (or bundle of goods) or services. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.
Net sales
The Company recognizes net sales at clubs and gas stations when the customer takes possession of the goods and tenders payment. Revenue is recorded at the point-of-sale based on the transaction price, net of any applicable discounts, sales tax, and expected refunds. For digitally-enabled sales, including buy-online-pickup-in-club (“BOPIC”), curbside delivery, and same-day delivery, the Company generally recognizes revenue when the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For ship-to-home sales, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which is typically at the time of shipment.
In the ordinary course of business, sales tax is collected at the time of purchase on items that are taxable in the respective jurisdiction. Sales tax is not included within net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Sales tax is recorded as a liability at the point-of-sale and subsequently remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.
Rewards programs
The Company’s Club+ program allows participating members to earn 2% cash back, up to a maximum of $500 per year, on qualified purchases made in BJ's clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, a 5 cent-per-gallon discount at BJ's gas locations, and two free same-day deliveries. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member once $10 in rewards have been earned.
The Company's co-branded credit card program, known as the BJ's One and BJ's One+ program, allows cardholders the opportunity to earn up to 5% cash back on purchases made in BJ's clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and up to a 15
cent-per-gallon discount on gasoline when paying with a BJ's One or BJ's One+ Mastercard at BJ’s gas locations. BJ's One+ Mastercard cardholders also receive two free same-day deliveries if such benefit has not already been received under the Club+ program. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member monthly on the credit card statement date. Earned rewards on each of the Club+ and co-branded credit card programs do not expire.
The Company accounts for these transactions as multiple-element arrangements and allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations using their relative fair values. The Company includes the fair value of rewards in deferred revenue at the time the rewards are earned. Earned rewards may be redeemed on future purchases made at BJ’s. The Company recognizes revenue related to earned rewards when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase at one of the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app. While the Company continues to honor all rewards presented for redemption, the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote for certain rewards due to historical experience, including after long periods of inactivity, and rewards being linked to expired or canceled memberships. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue, or breakage, from unredeemed rewards. The Company earns monthly royalties under the BJ's One and BJ's One+ credit card programs related to the use of the BJ’s trade name and the issuance of rewards and gasoline discounts to cardholders. Royalty revenue is recognized based upon actual customer activities, such as reward redemptions, in the period in which the underlying activity occurs.
Membership
The Company charges a membership fee to its customers, which allows customers to shop in the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and purchase gasoline at the Company’s gas stations for the duration of the membership, which is generally 12 months. In addition, members have access to other ancillary services, coupons, and promotions. As the Company has the obligation to provide access to its clubs, website, mobile app, and gas stations for the duration of the membership term, the Company recognizes membership fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the membership. All membership fees and related membership revenues are recorded as membership fee income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Gift Card Programs
The Company sells BJ’s gift cards that allow customers to redeem the cards for future purchases equal to the loaded value of the gift card. Revenue from gift card sales is recognized upon redemption of the gift cards and control of the purchased goods or services is transferred to the customer.
Warranty Programs
The Company passes on any manufacturers’ warranties to members. In addition, the Company includes an extended warranty on tires sold at the clubs, under which the Company customers receive tire repair services or tire replacement in certain circumstances. This warranty is included in the sale price of the tire and it cannot be declined by the customers. The Company is fully liable for claims under the tire warranty program. As the primary obligor in these arrangements, associated revenue is recognized on the date of sale and an estimated warranty obligation is accrued based on claims experience. The liability for future claims under this program is not material to the financial statements.
Extended warranties are also offered on certain types of products such as electronics, jewelry, and eyewear. These warranties are provided by a third party at fixed prices to the Company. No liability is retained to satisfy warranty claims under these arrangements. The Company is not the primary obligor under these warranties, and as such net revenue is recorded on these arrangements at the time of sale. Revenue from warranty sales is included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Determine the Transaction Price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive under the arrangement. The Company is required to include estimated variable consideration, if any, in the determination of the transaction price. The Company may offer sales incentives to customers, including discounts. The Company has significant experience with return patterns and relies on this experience to estimate expected returns when determining the transaction price.
The Company’s products are generally sold with a right of return and may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company records an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. The Company analyzes actual historical returns, current economic trends, changes in sales volume and acceptance of the Company’s products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.
The sales returns reserve, which reduces sales and cost of sales for the estimated impact of returns, was $5.4 million in each of fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023. Actual sales returns were $223.4 million, $221.7 million, and $220.7 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Discounts given to customers are usually in the form of coupons and instant markdowns and are recognized as redeemed and recorded as a reduction of revenue, as they are part of the transaction price of the merchandise sale.
Agent Relationships
The Company enters into certain agreements with service providers that offer goods and services to the Company’s members. These service providers sell goods and services including home improvement services, travel, and cell phones to the Company’s customers. In exchange, the Company receives payments in the form of commissions and other fees. The Company evaluates the relevant criteria to determine whether the Company is the principal or agent in these contracts with customers, in determining whether it is appropriate in these arrangements to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. When the Company is considered the principal in a transaction, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Commissions received from these service providers are considered variable consideration and are constrained until the third-party customer makes a purchase from one of the service providers.
Judgments
For arrangements that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
Policy Elections
In addition to those previously disclosed, the Company made the following accounting policy elections and practical expedients:
The Company uses the portfolio approach when multiple contracts or performance obligations are involved in the determination of revenue recognition.
The Company excludes from the transaction price any taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities.
Costs incurred by the Company before the customer obtains control of goods are deemed to be fulfillment costs. Amounts charged to customers by the Company for shipping and handling related to same-day delivery and traditional ship-to-home service are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer. Amounts charged to the Company by third parties performing the delivery services are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when the delivery services are performed.
The Company’s payment terms are less than one year from the transfer of goods. Therefore, the Company does not adjust promised amounts of consideration for the effects of the time value of money.
The Company does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts that are one year or less in term. Additionally, the Company does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations when the transaction price is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a good or service that forms part of a series of distinct goods or services.
Cost of Sales
The Company’s cost of sales includes the direct costs of merchandise and gasoline, which includes customs, tariffs, taxes, duties and inbound shipping costs, inventory shrinkage and adjustments and reserves for excess, aged and obsolete inventory. Cost of goods sold also includes certain distribution center costs and allocations of certain indirect costs, such as occupancy, depreciation, amortization, labor, and benefits.
Vendor Rebates and Allowances
The Company receives various types of cash consideration from vendors, principally in the form of rebates, based on purchasing or selling certain volumes of product; time-based rebates or allowances, which may include product placement allowances or exclusivity arrangements covering a predetermined period of time; price protection rebates; allowances for retail price reductions on certain merchandise; and salvage allowances for product that is damaged, defective or becomes out-of-date.
Such vendor rebates and allowances are recognized based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration offered to the underlying transaction that results in progress by the Company toward earning the rebates and allowances, provided the amounts to be earned are probable and reasonably estimable. Otherwise, rebates and allowances are recognized only when predetermined milestones are met. The Company recognizes product placement allowances as a reduction of cost of sales in the period in which the product placement is completed. Time-based rebates or allowances are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales over the performance period on a straight-line basis. All other vendor rebates and allowances are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales when the merchandise is sold or otherwise disposed.
Cash consideration is also received for advertising products in publications presented to BJ’s members. Such cash consideration is recognized as a reduction of SG&A to the extent it represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable SG&A costs incurred by the Company to sell the vendors’ products. If the cash consideration exceeds the costs being reimbursed, the excess is characterized as a reduction of cost of sales. Cash consideration for advertising vendors’ products is recognized in the period in which the advertising occurs.
Manufacturers’ Incentives Tendered by Consumers
Consideration from manufacturers’ incentives, such as rebates or coupons, is recorded gross in net sales when the incentive is generic and can be tendered by a consumer at any reseller and the Company receives direct reimbursement from the manufacturer, or clearinghouse authorized by the manufacturer, based on the face value of the incentive. If these conditions are not met, such consideration is recorded as a reduction in cost of sales.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or modification of a contract and classifies each lease as either an operating or finance lease at commencement. Leases that are economically similar to the purchase of assets are generally classified as finance leases; otherwise, the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company only reassesses lease classification subsequent to commencement upon a change to the expected lease term or modification of the contract.
Right-of-use assets (“lease assets”) represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which reflect options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Options to extend have varying rates and terms for each lease. Generally, the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, and therefore, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The IBR is based on a yield curve that approximates the Company’s credit rating and market risk profile. The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred, and lease incentives received.
Lease liabilities are accounted for using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of lease assets varies depending upon classification. Operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of a lease asset equal to the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Conversely, finance lease classification results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern over the lease term, which amortizes a lease asset by recognizing interest expense and straight-line amortization expense as separate components of lease expense.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements provide for lease payments based on future sales volumes at the leased locations, or include rental payments adjusted periodically based on inflation or an index, which are not measurable at lease commencement. The Company recognizes such variable amounts in the period incurred. For leases with lease payments based on future sales volumes, variable lease expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the specified sales target will be achieved. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company is generally obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance relating to its leases, which are often variable lease payments. Such costs for finance and operating leases are included in SG&A in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses consist of direct incremental costs of opening or relocating a facility and are expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A consists of various expenses related to supporting and facilitating the sale of merchandise in the Company's clubs, including the following: payroll and payroll benefits for team members; rent, depreciation, and other occupancy costs for retail and corporate locations; stock-based compensation, advertising expenses; tender costs, including credit and debit card fees; amortization of intangible assets; and consulting, legal, insurance, restructuring charges, and other professional services expenses.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses generally consist of efforts to acquire new members and media advertising (some of which is vendor-funded). The Company expenses advertising as incurred as a component of SG&A. Advertising expenses were $143.1 million, $126.6 million, and $121.1 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
The fair value of service-based employee and non-employee director awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is typically three years and one year, respectively. The fair value of the performance-based awards is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the service period of each performance tranche, which is typically three years.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and its value is determined by the market price on the NYSE. See “Note 11. Stock Incentive Plans” for additional description of the accounting for stock-based awards.
Earnings Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective tax bases, using enacted tax rates expected to be applicable in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions requires judgment. The Company records the benefits of uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge from tax authorities. The Company periodically reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 such as quoted market prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is a measure of net income and all other changes in equity that result from transactions other than with equity holders, and would normally be recorded in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Other comprehensive loss consists of postretirement medical plan adjustments.
Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method based on the fair market value of the shares on the dates of repurchase plus any direct costs incurred. Treasury stock is presented as a reduction to stockholders’ equity and is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares.
Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Company adopted a resolution of the board of directors to retire treasury shares on a quarterly basis. Upon retirement, the Company reduces common stock and additional paid-in capital by an amount equal to the original issuance price of the shares with any excess of the repurchase price allocated to retained earnings. Retired shares are accounted for as authorized but unissued shares.
Restructuring Charges
Charges for restructuring programs generally include targeted actions involving employee severance, related benefit costs, and other termination charges, as well as consulting and other third-party fees. Employee severance and related benefit costs for employees with no further service period are accounted for under the Company’s ongoing benefit arrangements. These charges are accrued during the period when management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. For employees with a remaining service period, the related costs are accrued over the period if greater than 60 days. Restructuring costs are recorded in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The disclosures required under the guidance can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, as ASU 2024-03 will not impact the
Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income, statements of stockholders’ equity, or statements of cash flows.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development, and removing the previous “development stage” model to determine when costs are able to be capitalized.

Early adoption is permitted, and entities may elect to adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments within ASU 2025-12 and determining the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires public companies to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory tax, further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 requires all entities to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated between federal, state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction when 5% or more of the total income taxes paid. The disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis as of and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income, statements of stockholders’ equity, or statements of cash flows, but it did result in additional disclosures within the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the retrospective adoption, the Company has revised certain prior period comparative income tax disclosures presented herein to conform to the new disclosure requirements within ASU 2023-09. These revisions include presentation of expanded tabular disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction for fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had certain executed real estate and gas station leases that have not yet commenced and therefore are not reflected in the tables above. These leases are expected to commence primarily in fiscal year 2026 with lease terms ranging from 5 years to 25 years years. We estimate future lease commitments for these leases to be approximately $561.0 million.

Sale-leaseback Transactions
During fiscal years 2025 and 2023, the Company completed one and two sale-leaseback transactions for buildings constructed by the Company on land owned by the buyer-lessors, respectively. In connection with these transactions, the Company sold assets with total fair values of $12.7 million and $26.2 million, and received proceeds of $9.0 million and $18.5 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2023, respectively. Cash received in connection with these transactions is included in proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions in the consolidated statements of cash flows and totaled $3.0 million and $12.3 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2023, respectively, while the remainder of the cash consideration was received in prior periods. The difference between the fair value of assets sold and proceeds received was deemed prepaid rent and included in the operating lease asset at lease commencement. There were no sale-leaseback transactions completed during fiscal year 2024.
Failed Sale-leaseback Transactions
During fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company constructed four, one, and three buildings, respectively, on land owned by certain of the Company’s lessors. The associated leases, which each have an initial term of 20 years, were deemed to be financing leases, resulting in the Company accounting for the transactions as failed sale-leasebacks.
The net book value of the associated building assets is included in property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of the financing obligations is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, while the long-term portion is included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received in connection with the transactions is included in proceeds from financing obligations in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest expense incurred as a result of the financing obligations is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
In connection with the fiscal year 2025 transactions, the Company recorded financing obligations totaling $36.3 million, which represented total cash received, of which $20.7 million was received during fiscal year 2025 and the remainder of which was received in prior periods.
In connection with the fiscal year 2024 transactions, the Company recorded a financing obligation totaling $9.3 million, which represented total cash received, of which $3.1 million was received during fiscal year 2024 and the remainder of which was received in prior periods.
In connection with the fiscal year 2023 transactions, the Company recorded financing obligations totaling $26.4 million, which represented cash received of $20.6 million and receivables of $5.8 million as of February 3, 2024. The receivables were collected during fiscal year 2024.
Operating cash flows paid for the interest portion of failed sale-leasebacks totaled $5.9 million, $3.1 million, and $0.9 million for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Long-term debt$399,099 $398,807 
ABL Revolving Facility
On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into the ABL Revolving Facility with an ABL Revolving Commitment of $1.20 billion pursuant to that certain credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The maturity date of the ABL Revolving Facility is July 28, 2027.
Revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Facility are available in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate ABL Revolving Commitment or a borrowing base based on the value of certain inventory, accounts and credit card receivables, subject to specified advance rebates and reserves as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Indebtedness under the ABL Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets (other than real estate) of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. As amended, interest on the ABL Revolving Facility is calculated either at SOFR plus a range of 100 to 125 basis points or a base rate plus 0 to 25 basis points, based on excess availability. The Company will also pay an unused commitment fee of 20 basis points per annum on the unused ABL Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing is for a period of one, three, or six months, as selected by the Company, or for such other period that is twelve months or less requested by the Company and consented to by the lenders and administrative agent.
The ABL Revolving Facility places certain restrictions (i.e., covenants) upon the Borrower’s, and its subsidiaries’, ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, and make certain loans, investments, and divestitures. The ABL Revolving Facility contains customary events of default (including payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain of our other
indebtedness, breach of representations and covenants and change of control). The occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Revolving Facility would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL Revolving Facility.
As of January 31, 2026, there was $120.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $9.6 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.77%, and unused capacity was $1.04 billion.
As of February 1, 2025, there was $175.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $11.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 5.41%.
First Lien Term Loan
On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.
The Fifth Amendment, among other things, provided for a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which refinanced and replaced in full the existing Tranche B term loans outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment. In addition, the Fifth Amendment reduced applicable margin in respect of the interest rate from SOFR plus 200 basis points per annum to SOFR plus 175 basis points per annum. The maturity date of the First Lien Term Loan is February 3, 2029.
Voluntary prepayments are permitted. Principal payments must be made on the First Lien Term Loan pursuant to an annual excess cash flow calculation when the net leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00. As of January 31, 2026, the Company's net leverage ratio did not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and therefore, no incremental principal payments were required. The First Lien Term Loan is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants but no financial covenants. It is secured on a senior basis by certain “fixed assets” of the Company and on a junior basis by certain “liquid” assets of the Company.
During fiscal year 2024, total fees incurred in connection with the Fifth Amendment were approximately $0.8 million. The Company expensed $0.1 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount and expensed $0.8 million of new third-party fees. The Company deferred an immaterial amount of new debt issuance costs.
During fiscal year 2023, total fees incurred in connection with the Fourth Amendment were approximately $1.7 million. The Company expensed $1.4 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount and expensed $0.4 million of new third-party fees. The Company deferred $1.3 million of new debt issuance costs.
As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, there was $400.0 million outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan. The interest rate was 5.43% and 6.08% as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

Stock Incentive Plans Stock Incentive Plans
On June 13, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units, performance shares, other incentive awards, stock appreciation rights, and cash awards. Prior to the adoption of the 2018 Plan, the Company granted stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors, respectively, under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option Plan of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc., as amended (the “2011 Plan”), and the 2012 Director Stock Option Plan of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc., as amended (the “2012 Director Plan”). No further grants will be made under 2011 Plan or the 2012 Director Plan.
The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of 13,148,058 shares, including 985,369 shares that were reserved but not issued under the 2011 Plan and the 2012 Director Plan. If an award under the 2018 Plan, 2011 Plan, or 2012 Director Plan is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash, any shares subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, be used again for new grants under the 2018 Plan. Additionally, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy grant or exercise price, or tax withholding obligations associated with an award under the 2018 Plan, the 2011 Plan, or the 2012 Director Plan will be added to the shares authorized for grant under the 2018 Plan. The following shares may not be used again for grant under the 2018 Plan: (1) shares subject to a stock appreciation right (“SAR”), that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on its exercise and (2) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options under the 2018 Plan, 2011 Plan, or 2012 Director Plan. As of January 31, 2026, there were 4,343,682 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The Company recognized $47.2 million, $47.8 million, and $39.0 million of total stock-based compensation expense for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, inclusive of expense related to the ESPP. As of January 31, 2026, there was approximately $66.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost, all of which is expected to be recognized over the next three years.
Stock option awards were generally granted with a vesting period of three years. All options have a contractual term of ten years. No options were granted during fiscal years 2025, 2024, or 2023.

These reacquired shares were recorded as $36.4 million, $27.7 million, and $28.3 million of treasury stock in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Share Repurchase Programs
On November 16, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2021 Repurchase Program”), that allowed the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The 2021 Repurchase Program expired in January 2025, with the Company utilizing the entire authorization of $500.0 million.
On November 18, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “2024 Repurchase Program”) that allows the Company to repurchase up to an additional $1.00 billion of its outstanding common stock from time to time as market conditions warrant. The 2024 Repurchase Program was effective on February 1, 2025 and expires in January 2029. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The Company initiated the 2021 Repurchase Program and the 2024 Repurchase Program to mitigate potentially dilutive effects of stock awards granted by the Company, in addition to enhancing shareholder value.
The Company repurchased 2,599,000 shares for $252.4 million under the 2024 Repurchase Program during fiscal year 2025. The Company repurchased 2,181,885 and 1,958,218 shares for $190.9 million and $130.2 million under the 2021 Repurchase Program during fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method based on the fair market value of the shares on the dates of repurchase plus any direct costs incurred.

During fiscal year 2025, the Company retired 20,250,740 shares of treasury stock, which represented the cumulative number of shares held in the Company’s treasury due to acquisitions during the current and prior periods. The retirement of these shares resulted in decreases in treasury stock, retained earnings, and additional paid-in capital of $1.23 billion, $1.08 billion, and $145.2 million, respectively. There were no share retirements during fiscal years 2024 or 2023.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. Therefore, no valuation allowance has been recorded. In making this determination, the Company considered historical levels of income as well as projections for future periods.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company had $0.2 million of accrued interest related to income tax uncertainties.
On July 4, 2025, new legislation, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), was signed into law. Among other provisions, the Act reestablished and made permanent 100% initial-year bonus depreciation on qualifying property, as well as the immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenses.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Retirement Plans Retirement Plans
Under the Company's 401(k) savings plans, participating employees may make pretax and/or Roth contributions up to 50% of covered compensation subject to federal limits. The Company matches employee contributions at 50% of the first six percent of covered compensation. The Company’s expense under these plans was $16.0 million, $14.2 million and $15.2 million for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The Company had a non-contributory defined contribution retirement plan for certain key employees, which was terminated in fiscal year 2023. Under this plan, the Company funded annual retirement contributions for the designated participants on an after-tax basis. The Company’s contributions equaled approximately 5% of the participants’ base salary. Historically, participants became fully vested in their contribution accounts at the end of the fiscal year in which they completed four full fiscal years of service. Upon termination of the plan, all remaining contributions became fully vested. Expense under this plan was $0.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The remaining $2.2 million due to participants was fully settled during fiscal year 2024.
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company offers certain qualifying individuals the ability to participate in the NQDC Plan. The NQDC Plan allows employees to defer up to 50% of the participant's annual base salary as well as up to 100% of any annual bonus award. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, eligible participants are allowed to defer between 0% and 100% of stock incentive awards granted during the fiscal year. The Company may also elect to provide a discretionary contribution to the NQDC Plan to certain executives, which will become 100% vested on the third anniversary of a participant's date of hire. A participant will be 100% vested at all times in their elective deferral account within the NQDC Plan. The Company credits the amounts deferred with earnings and holds investments in company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies to offset the Company's liabilities under the NQDC Plan.
Total liabilities related to the NQDC Plan liability and the cash surrender value of COLI investments, included in other non-current liabilities and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, were $7.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, as of January 31, 2026, and $3.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, as of February 1, 2025. Expense under this plan was $1.2 million and $2.4 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fiscal year 2023 expense was not material.

The Company’s operations are primarily retail club and other sales procured from clubs and distribution centers, representing one operating segment. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are located in the United States. The Company does not have significant sales outside the United States, nor does any customer represent more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented.
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, in evaluating performance of the retail operations segment and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole, including investing in clubs, stockholder return programs, and other strategies. The CODM does not review assets when evaluating the results of the segment, and therefore, such information is not presented.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
At BJ’s, we recognize the importance of information security practices designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company information and the personal information that our members share with us. We have implemented a cybersecurity program in accordance with our risk profile and business that is informed by recognized industry standards and frameworks, and incorporates elements of the same, including elements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
Cybersecurity Framework (“NIST CSF”), International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) 27001 and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) standards.
Our cybersecurity risk assessment program includes a number of components, including information security program assessments, audits and maturity assessments, that are conducted periodically by both internal and external resources. Additionally, we partner with multiple third-party managed security service providers for enhanced monitoring of our information technology and data security environment and to perform proactive detection and investigation of malicious activity within our network. Our internal audit function also conducts regular assessments of different systems to provide the audit committee with information on our cybersecurity risk management processes, which processes are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program.
As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we take a risk-based approach to the evaluation of third-party vendors, and apply mitigations and processes based on our evaluation of the sensitivity of the data accessed by the vendor and the maturity of the vendor’s programs. Our vendor evaluation procedures include, as appropriate, the completion of a vendor security questionnaire and our implementation of vendor monitoring programs. We have not identified any cybersecurity incidents or threats that have materially affected us or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, like other companies in our industry, we and our third-party vendors have from time-to-time experienced threats and security incidents that could affect our information or systems. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information on the Company’s cybersecurity-related risks.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Jan. 31, 2026
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's business, as is common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to some seasonality. The Company’s net sales and cash flows have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
The Company follows the National Retail Federation's fiscal calendar and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal year 2025 (“2025”) consists of the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, fiscal year 2024 (“2024”) consists of the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2025, and fiscal year 2023 (“2023”) consists of the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2024. Fiscal year 2026 (“2026”) will consist of the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2027.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements, include but are not limited to, estimating workers’ compensation and general liability self-insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration Risk
Concentration Risk
The Company's clubs are primarily located in the eastern half of the United States. Sales from the New York metropolitan area comprised approximately 23% of net sales in each of fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash held in financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company considers the credit risk associated with these financial instruments to be minimal. Cash is held by financial institutions with high credit ratings and the Company has not historically sustained any credit losses associated with its cash balances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Book overdrafts not subject to offset with other accounts with the same financial institution are classified as accounts payable.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of credit card receivables and receivables from vendors related to rebates and coupons and is stated net of allowances for credit losses of $2.3 million and $2.1 million at January 31, 2026 and February 1,
2025, respectively. The determination of the allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's historical experience applied to an aging of accounts and a review of individual accounts with a known potential for write-off.
Merchandise Inventories
Merchandise Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined under the average cost method, or net realizable value. The Company recognizes the write-down of slow-moving or obsolete inventory in cost of sales when such write-downs are probable and estimable. The Company writes down inventory for estimated shrinkage for the period between physical inventories based on historical results of physical inventories, shrinkage trends, or other judgments management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Property and equipment which is not ready for its intended use is recorded as construction in progress. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over estimated useful lives of 33 years. Capitalizable costs related to the development of buildings is capitalized during the construction period. Leasehold costs and improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term, which includes renewal periods that are reasonably assured, or the asset’s estimated useful life. Fixtures, equipment, and software are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years.
Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are included in fixtures, equipment, and software and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years. Software costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Expenditures for betterments and major improvements that significantly enhance the value and increase the estimated useful life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over the new estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance costs on all assets are expensed as incurred.
Deferred Issuance Costs
Deferred Issuance Costs
The Company defers costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's term loan are recorded as a direct deduction of the carrying amount of long-term debt, while debt issuance costs associated with the ABL Revolving Facility are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the respective terms of the related financing arrangements on a straight-line basis, which is materially consistent with the effective interest method.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets are not subject to amortization. The Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill and trade name annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate they may be impaired. The Company has determined it has one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes and assessed the recoverability as of January 3, 2026.
The Company may assess its goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach (“step zero”) to determine whether conditions exist to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. The Company may also elect to initially perform a quantitative analysis instead of starting with step zero. The quantitative assessment for goodwill requires comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to write down goodwill to its implied fair value and is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company assessed the recoverability of goodwill in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 and determined that there was no impairment.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its trade name whenever there are indicators of impairment, or at least annually in the fourth quarter. If the recorded carrying value of the trade name exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company records a charge to write the intangible asset down to its estimated fair value as a component of SG&A. The Company assessed the recoverability of the BJ’s trade name and determined that its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value and that no impairment was necessary in fiscal years 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Test for Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
Test for Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever a triggering event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred. Current and expected operating results, cash flows and other factors are considered in connection with management’s review. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows of individual clubs and an allocation of consolidated net cash flows for long-lived assets not identifiable to individual clubs. Impairment losses are measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the assets being evaluated.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset Retirement Obligations
An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of that long-lived asset. The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are placed in service, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement obligation is subsequently adjusted for changes in fair value. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized in leasehold improvements and depreciated over their useful lives. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future removal of gasoline tanks, solar panels, and related assets installed at leased clubs.
Workers’ Compensation and General Liability Self-insurance Reserves
Workers’ Compensation and General Liability Self-insurance Reserves
The Company is primarily self-insured for workers’ compensation, general liability claims, and auto liability claims. Amounts in excess of certain levels, which range from $0.3 million to $1.0 million per occurrence for workers' compensation and general liability, and up to $2.0 million per occurrence for auto liability, are insured as a risk reduction strategy to mitigate the financial impact of catastrophic losses. Reported reserves for claims are derived from estimated ultimate costs based upon individual claim file reserves and estimates for incurred but not reported claims. The estimates are developed utilizing actuarial methods and are based on historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions related to loss development factors. The inherent uncertainty of future loss projections could cause actual claims to differ from the Company's estimates. When historical losses are not a good measure of future liability, the Company bases its estimates of ultimate liability on its interpretation of current law, claims filed to date, and other relevant factors which are subject to change. Accruals for such claims, if any, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition - Performance Obligations
The Company identifies each distinct performance obligation to transfer goods (or bundle of goods) or services. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.
Net sales
The Company recognizes net sales at clubs and gas stations when the customer takes possession of the goods and tenders payment. Revenue is recorded at the point-of-sale based on the transaction price, net of any applicable discounts, sales tax, and expected refunds. For digitally-enabled sales, including buy-online-pickup-in-club (“BOPIC”), curbside delivery, and same-day delivery, the Company generally recognizes revenue when the customer takes possession of the merchandise. For ship-to-home sales, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which is typically at the time of shipment.
In the ordinary course of business, sales tax is collected at the time of purchase on items that are taxable in the respective jurisdiction. Sales tax is not included within net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Sales tax is recorded as a liability at the point-of-sale and subsequently remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.
Rewards programs
The Company’s Club+ program allows participating members to earn 2% cash back, up to a maximum of $500 per year, on qualified purchases made in BJ's clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, a 5 cent-per-gallon discount at BJ's gas locations, and two free same-day deliveries. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member once $10 in rewards have been earned.
The Company's co-branded credit card program, known as the BJ's One and BJ's One+ program, allows cardholders the opportunity to earn up to 5% cash back on purchases made in BJ's clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and up to a 15
cent-per-gallon discount on gasoline when paying with a BJ's One or BJ's One+ Mastercard at BJ’s gas locations. BJ's One+ Mastercard cardholders also receive two free same-day deliveries if such benefit has not already been received under the Club+ program. Cash back is in the form of electronic rewards issued to each member monthly on the credit card statement date. Earned rewards on each of the Club+ and co-branded credit card programs do not expire.
The Company accounts for these transactions as multiple-element arrangements and allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations using their relative fair values. The Company includes the fair value of rewards in deferred revenue at the time the rewards are earned. Earned rewards may be redeemed on future purchases made at BJ’s. The Company recognizes revenue related to earned rewards when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase at one of the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app. While the Company continues to honor all rewards presented for redemption, the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote for certain rewards due to historical experience, including after long periods of inactivity, and rewards being linked to expired or canceled memberships. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue, or breakage, from unredeemed rewards. The Company earns monthly royalties under the BJ's One and BJ's One+ credit card programs related to the use of the BJ’s trade name and the issuance of rewards and gasoline discounts to cardholders. Royalty revenue is recognized based upon actual customer activities, such as reward redemptions, in the period in which the underlying activity occurs.
Membership
The Company charges a membership fee to its customers, which allows customers to shop in the Company’s clubs, on bjs.com, or in the BJ’s mobile app, and purchase gasoline at the Company’s gas stations for the duration of the membership, which is generally 12 months. In addition, members have access to other ancillary services, coupons, and promotions. As the Company has the obligation to provide access to its clubs, website, mobile app, and gas stations for the duration of the membership term, the Company recognizes membership fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the membership. All membership fees and related membership revenues are recorded as membership fee income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Gift Card Programs
The Company sells BJ’s gift cards that allow customers to redeem the cards for future purchases equal to the loaded value of the gift card. Revenue from gift card sales is recognized upon redemption of the gift cards and control of the purchased goods or services is transferred to the customer.
Warranty Programs
The Company passes on any manufacturers’ warranties to members. In addition, the Company includes an extended warranty on tires sold at the clubs, under which the Company customers receive tire repair services or tire replacement in certain circumstances. This warranty is included in the sale price of the tire and it cannot be declined by the customers. The Company is fully liable for claims under the tire warranty program. As the primary obligor in these arrangements, associated revenue is recognized on the date of sale and an estimated warranty obligation is accrued based on claims experience. The liability for future claims under this program is not material to the financial statements.
Extended warranties are also offered on certain types of products such as electronics, jewelry, and eyewear. These warranties are provided by a third party at fixed prices to the Company. No liability is retained to satisfy warranty claims under these arrangements. The Company is not the primary obligor under these warranties, and as such net revenue is recorded on these arrangements at the time of sale. Revenue from warranty sales is included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Determine the Transaction Price
The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive under the arrangement. The Company is required to include estimated variable consideration, if any, in the determination of the transaction price. The Company may offer sales incentives to customers, including discounts. The Company has significant experience with return patterns and relies on this experience to estimate expected returns when determining the transaction price.
The Company’s products are generally sold with a right of return and may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company records an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. The Company analyzes actual historical returns, current economic trends, changes in sales volume and acceptance of the Company’s products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.
The sales returns reserve, which reduces sales and cost of sales for the estimated impact of returns, was $5.4 million in each of fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023. Actual sales returns were $223.4 million, $221.7 million, and $220.7 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Discounts given to customers are usually in the form of coupons and instant markdowns and are recognized as redeemed and recorded as a reduction of revenue, as they are part of the transaction price of the merchandise sale.
Agent Relationships
The Company enters into certain agreements with service providers that offer goods and services to the Company’s members. These service providers sell goods and services including home improvement services, travel, and cell phones to the Company’s customers. In exchange, the Company receives payments in the form of commissions and other fees. The Company evaluates the relevant criteria to determine whether the Company is the principal or agent in these contracts with customers, in determining whether it is appropriate in these arrangements to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. When the Company is considered the principal in a transaction, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Commissions received from these service providers are considered variable consideration and are constrained until the third-party customer makes a purchase from one of the service providers.
Judgments
For arrangements that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
Policy Elections
In addition to those previously disclosed, the Company made the following accounting policy elections and practical expedients:
The Company uses the portfolio approach when multiple contracts or performance obligations are involved in the determination of revenue recognition.
The Company excludes from the transaction price any taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities.
Costs incurred by the Company before the customer obtains control of goods are deemed to be fulfillment costs. Amounts charged to customers by the Company for shipping and handling related to same-day delivery and traditional ship-to-home service are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer. Amounts charged to the Company by third parties performing the delivery services are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when the delivery services are performed.
The Company’s payment terms are less than one year from the transfer of goods. Therefore, the Company does not adjust promised amounts of consideration for the effects of the time value of money.
The Company does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts that are one year or less in term. Additionally, the Company does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations when the transaction price is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a good or service that forms part of a series of distinct goods or services.
Cost of Sales
The Company’s cost of sales includes the direct costs of merchandise and gasoline, which includes customs, tariffs, taxes, duties and inbound shipping costs, inventory shrinkage and adjustments and reserves for excess, aged and obsolete inventory. Cost of goods sold also includes certain distribution center costs and allocations of certain indirect costs, such as occupancy, depreciation, amortization, labor, and benefits.
Vendor Rebates and Allowances
The Company receives various types of cash consideration from vendors, principally in the form of rebates, based on purchasing or selling certain volumes of product; time-based rebates or allowances, which may include product placement allowances or exclusivity arrangements covering a predetermined period of time; price protection rebates; allowances for retail price reductions on certain merchandise; and salvage allowances for product that is damaged, defective or becomes out-of-date.
Such vendor rebates and allowances are recognized based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration offered to the underlying transaction that results in progress by the Company toward earning the rebates and allowances, provided the amounts to be earned are probable and reasonably estimable. Otherwise, rebates and allowances are recognized only when predetermined milestones are met. The Company recognizes product placement allowances as a reduction of cost of sales in the period in which the product placement is completed. Time-based rebates or allowances are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales over the performance period on a straight-line basis. All other vendor rebates and allowances are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales when the merchandise is sold or otherwise disposed.
Cash consideration is also received for advertising products in publications presented to BJ’s members. Such cash consideration is recognized as a reduction of SG&A to the extent it represents a reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable SG&A costs incurred by the Company to sell the vendors’ products. If the cash consideration exceeds the costs being reimbursed, the excess is characterized as a reduction of cost of sales. Cash consideration for advertising vendors’ products is recognized in the period in which the advertising occurs.
Manufacturers’ Incentives Tendered by Consumers
Consideration from manufacturers’ incentives, such as rebates or coupons, is recorded gross in net sales when the incentive is generic and can be tendered by a consumer at any reseller and the Company receives direct reimbursement from the manufacturer, or clearinghouse authorized by the manufacturer, based on the face value of the incentive. If these conditions are not met, such consideration is recorded as a reduction in cost of sales.
Leases
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or modification of a contract and classifies each lease as either an operating or finance lease at commencement. Leases that are economically similar to the purchase of assets are generally classified as finance leases; otherwise, the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company only reassesses lease classification subsequent to commencement upon a change to the expected lease term or modification of the contract.
Right-of-use assets (“lease assets”) represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which reflect options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Options to extend have varying rates and terms for each lease. Generally, the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, and therefore, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The IBR is based on a yield curve that approximates the Company’s credit rating and market risk profile. The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred, and lease incentives received.
Lease liabilities are accounted for using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of lease assets varies depending upon classification. Operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of a lease asset equal to the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Conversely, finance lease classification results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern over the lease term, which amortizes a lease asset by recognizing interest expense and straight-line amortization expense as separate components of lease expense.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements provide for lease payments based on future sales volumes at the leased locations, or include rental payments adjusted periodically based on inflation or an index, which are not measurable at lease commencement. The Company recognizes such variable amounts in the period incurred. For leases with lease payments based on future sales volumes, variable lease expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the specified sales target will be achieved. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company is generally obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance relating to its leases, which are often variable lease payments. Such costs for finance and operating leases are included in SG&A in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses consist of direct incremental costs of opening or relocating a facility and are expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A consists of various expenses related to supporting and facilitating the sale of merchandise in the Company's clubs, including the following: payroll and payroll benefits for team members; rent, depreciation, and other occupancy costs for retail and corporate locations; stock-based compensation, advertising expenses; tender costs, including credit and debit card fees; amortization of intangible assets; and consulting, legal, insurance, restructuring charges, and other professional services expenses.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses generally consist of efforts to acquire new members and media advertising (some of which is vendor-funded). The Company expenses advertising as incurred as a component of SG&A.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based Compensation
The fair value of service-based employee and non-employee director awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is typically three years and one year, respectively. The fair value of the performance-based awards is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the service period of each performance tranche, which is typically three years.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and its value is determined by the market price on the NYSE.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective tax bases, using enacted tax rates expected to be applicable in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions requires judgment. The Company records the benefits of uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge from tax authorities. The Company periodically reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 such as quoted market prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is a measure of net income and all other changes in equity that result from transactions other than with equity holders, and would normally be recorded in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Other comprehensive loss consists of postretirement medical plan adjustments.
Treasury Stock
Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method based on the fair market value of the shares on the dates of repurchase plus any direct costs incurred. Treasury stock is presented as a reduction to stockholders’ equity and is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares.
Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Company adopted a resolution of the board of directors to retire treasury shares on a quarterly basis. Upon retirement, the Company reduces common stock and additional paid-in capital by an amount equal to the original issuance price of the shares with any excess of the repurchase price allocated to retained earnings. Retired shares are accounted for as authorized but unissued shares.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring Charges
Charges for restructuring programs generally include targeted actions involving employee severance, related benefit costs, and other termination charges, as well as consulting and other third-party fees. Employee severance and related benefit costs for employees with no further service period are accounted for under the Company’s ongoing benefit arrangements. These charges are accrued during the period when management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. For employees with a remaining service period, the related costs are accrued over the period if greater than 60 days. Restructuring costs are recorded in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
