(NYSE: BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel, footwear, accessories, and merchandise for the home at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2025. Michael O’Sullivan, CEO, stated, “Total sales increased 7% in the third quarter, while comparable store sales increased 1%. Traffic to our stores fell off significantly after the back-to-school period driven by unseasonably warm temperatures in our major markets. Our comp trend then picked up to mid-single-digits in mid-October once the weather cooled, and that strong trend has continued through the first three weeks of November.” Mr. O’Sullivan continued, “We were very pleased with our strong margin and earnings performance in the third quarter. We achieved an Adjusted EBIT margin increase versus last year of 60 basis points and grew Adjusted EPS by 16%. Our merchandising and operating teams did an outstanding job mitigating the negative margin impact from tariffs. We are passing along all of this third quarter upside to our full year 2025 earnings guidance.”   Mr. O’Sullivan went on, “Based on our favorable margin and expense trends, we are also raising our earnings guidance for the fourth quarter. This is driving an additional increase in our full year 2025 earnings guidance. Although we are pleased with our recent comp trends, in the coming weeks we will be up against strong comparisons from last year, so at this point we are maintaining our previously issued 0% to 2% fourth quarter comp guidance.”   Mr. O’Sullivan concluded, “Stepping back and looking at the longer-term drivers of our business, we are very pleased with our new store opening program and performance, our weather adjusted comp growth, and the rapid progress we are making in expanding our margin. As discussed previously, we expect our operating income to grow to approximately $1.6B by 2028. At this point, we are tracking very well against this earnings target.” Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Operating Results • Total sales increased 7% compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 to $2,706 million, while comparable store sales increased 1% compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 2024.      • Gross margin rate as a percentage of net sales was 44.2% vs. 43.9% for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, an increase of 30 basis points.

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 (the 13 weeks ending January 31, 2026), the Company now expects: • Total sales to increase in the range of 7% to 9%; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 0% to 2% versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024; • Adjusted EBIT margin to increase 30 to 50 basis points versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024; excludes approximately $7 million of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $5 million incurred in the prior period; • An effective tax rate of approximately 26%; and  • Adjusted EPS in the range of $4.50 to $4.70, as compared to $4.13 in Adjusted EPS last year; excludes $5 million of anticipated expenses, net of tax, associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $4 million incurred in the prior period. 3     The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant. Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures The foregoing discussion of the Company’s operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income), Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these supplemental measures are useful in evaluating the performance of our business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. In particular, we believe that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what we consider to be our core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures later in this document.   Third Quarter 2025 Conference Call The Company will hold a conference call on November 25, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the Company’s third quarter results.

Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) costs related to debt amendments; (iv) impairment charges; (v) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (vi) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) depreciation and amortization; (vi) net favorable lease costs (viii) impairment charges; (ix) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (x) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains. Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) net favorable lease costs; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains.   Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by net sales. Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs, favorable lease costs and amounts related to certain litigation matters. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (g) in the table below). The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income), Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin), Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable. 10     The following table shows the Company’s reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the periods indicated:     (unaudited)       (in thousands, except per share data)       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       November 1,     November 2,     November 1,     November 2,       2025     2024     2025     2024                             Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income:                         Net income   $ 104,750     $ 90,597     $ 299,767     $ 242,871   Net favorable lease costs (a)     1,891       2,851       5,961       8,959   Loss on extinguishment of debt (d)     —       1,412       —       1,412   Costs related to debt amendments (b)     —       4,553       112       4,553   Impairment charges -
