Are there notable changes in gross margin, operating margin, or SG&A expenses in the latest quarter?
Answer
Based on the press release you provided, Petco (NASDAQ: WOOF) has announced the timing of its upcoming Q2 FY 2025 earnings release (after‑market on Thursday, August 28 2025, with a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET). The release itself does not contain any financial metrics—such as gross margin, operating margin, or SG&A (selling, general & administrative) expenses—for the quarter.
Therefore, from the information available in this announcement we cannot determine whether there are notable changes in:
- Gross margin (the percentage of revenue left after cost of goods sold)
- Operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenue)
- SG&A expenses (the dollar amount or percentage of revenue)
What to Expect Next
When Petco publishes its Q2 FY 2025 results (typically in a Form 8‑K filing, an earnings press release, and the accompanying conference call transcript), those documents will include:
| Metric | Where it’s usually disclosed |
|---|---|
| Revenue & Gross Margin | Income statement (often presented as “gross profit” and “gross margin %”) |
| Operating Income & Operating Margin | Income statement (operating profit) and margin % |
| SG&A Expenses | Income statement line item (often broken out or disclosed in the “Operating expenses” section) |
| Management Commentary | Press release and conference call transcript may highlight reasons for any margin shifts (e.g., changes in product mix, supply‑chain costs, store remodels, marketing spend, etc.) |
How to Get the Information
- Monitor the August 28 2025 release – The company’s investor‑relations website will post the earnings press release and a downloadable PDF of the results.
- SEC filings – Look for the Form 8‑K filing that accompanies the earnings release; it contains the full consolidated statements of operations.
- Conference call transcript – After the call, a transcript (or a recording) is usually posted on the same page. Executives often discuss margin drivers and SG&A trends in more detail.
- Financial news services – Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and similar platforms will quickly summarize the key metrics and may provide a “quick‑look” table of year‑over‑year and quarter‑over‑quarter changes.
Bottom line
- No margin or SG&A data is present in the current announcement.
- We’ll need to wait for the actual Q2 FY 2025 earnings release (or the subsequent SEC filing) to assess any notable changes.
If you’d like, I can set a reminder to check for the results on August 28 2025, or help you locate the filing once it’s posted. Let me know how you’d like to proceed!
