Rhea AI ULTA FY2026 2026-06-02

Ulta’s sales base is still expanding, but rising operating costs are consuming most of the added gross profit before it becomes earnings.

From FY2024 to FY2026, revenue added $1.7B while gross profit added $464M. But SG&A increased by $602M and operating income fell by $145M, showing recent growth is expanding the cost base faster than the profit base, which looks more like pressure in the operating structure than deterioration in merchandise margin.

Net margin slipped from 11.5% in FY2024 to 9.3% in FY2026. Yet operating cash flow reached $1.5B and stayed above net income, suggesting inventory, payables, and other working-capital mechanics are still turning profit into usable cash even as accounting margins narrow and store economics get less efficient.

FY2026 net income was $138M below FY2024 despite higher sales. But diluted EPS was still $25.64 versus $26.03, so repurchases are cushioning per-share results and masking part of the decline in business-level profit that the income statement shows.
