Rhea-AI Summary

Winmark (Nasdaq: WINA) reported net income of $10,431,400 or $2.85 per share diluted for Q2 2024, compared to $10,368,800 or $2.85 per share diluted in 2023. For the first half of 2024, net income was $19,250,400 or $5.26 per share diluted, slightly down from $19,311,500 or $5.34 per share diluted in the same period last year.

The company's performance was influenced by its decision to run off its leasing portfolio, made in May 2021. CEO Brett D. Heffes noted that year-to-date royalty growth was driven by an increased store count and improved per-unit performance. Winmark, known as 'the Resale Company', operates 1,336 franchises across five brands: Plato's Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports, Style Encore, and Music Go Round. An additional 77 franchises have been awarded but are not yet operational.

Positive
  • Slight increase in quarterly net income from $10,368,800 in Q2 2023 to $10,431,400 in Q2 2024
  • Year-to-date growth in royalties due to higher store count and improved per-unit performance
  • Expansion of franchise network with 1,336 operational franchises and 77 more awarded
Negative
  • Slight decrease in six-month net income from $19,311,500 in H1 2023 to $19,250,400 in H1 2024
  • Diluted EPS for the six-month period decreased from $5.34 in 2023 to $5.26 in 2024

Insights

Winmark Corporation's second quarter results illustrate a relatively stable financial performance. The net income for Q2 2024 was $10,431,400, consistent with Q2 2023. Likewise, the EPS remained unchanged at $2.85 per share.

Over the six-month period ending June 29, 2024, net income was $19,250,400 compared to $19,311,500 in the same period last year. The slight decrease in earnings could be linked to the decision to phase out the leasing portfolio, reducing income from that segment. This move, however, might aim to streamline operations and focus on core franchising activities.

It's noteworthy that royalty growth was driven by an increase in overall store count and enhanced unit-level performance. As of June 29, 2024, 1,336 franchises were operational, with 77 new franchises awarded but not yet open.

For investors, the stable EPS and solid royalty growth reflect consistent performance. In the short term, phasing out the leasing portfolio could slightly depress earnings, but in the long term, focusing on franchising could drive profitability. The continuous expansion of franchise numbers signals growth potential.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Winmark Corporation (Nasdaq: WINA) announced today net income for the quarter ended June 29, 2024 of $10,431,400 or $2.85 per share diluted compared to net income of $10,368,800 or $2.85 per share diluted in 2023. For the six months ended June 29, 2024, net income was $19,250,400 or $5.26 per share diluted compared to net income of $19,311,500 or $5.34 per share diluted for the same period last year. Results during the quarter were impacted by the Company’s decision in May 2021 to run-off its leasing portfolio.

“Year-to-date growth in royalties resulted from higher overall store count and, to a lesser extent, increases in per unit performance,” commented Brett D. Heffes, Chair and Chief Executive Officer.
