NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is a leading warehouse club operator concentrated primarily on the east coast of the United States. As of July 30, 2022, the Company operated 229 warehouse clubs and 160 gas stations in 17 states.

The Company follows and reports based on the National Retail Federation’s fiscal calendar. The thirteen week periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are referred to herein as the "second quarter of fiscal year 2022" and the "second quarter of fiscal year 2021," respectively.

Events and global business conditions such as inflation, the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the war in Ukraine have resulted in certain impacts to the global economy, including market disruptions and supply chain challenges. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 we continued to experience elevated supply chain costs, including increased commodity prices, logistics, and procurement costs. We expect these market disruptions and inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022.

On May 2, 2022, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of the assets and operations of four distribution centers and the related private transportation fleet from Burris Logistics, LLC. The Company financed the purchase price with a combination of available cash and borrowings under the ABL Facility. See Note 12, "Acquisitions" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2022 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for fiscal year 2022. The Company’s business, in common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences. The Company’s sales and operating income have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The accounting policies the Company follows are set forth in its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2021 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies and no material pronouncements adopted.

3. 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. Sales tax is recorded as a liability at the point of sale. Revenue is recorded at the point of sale based on the

transaction price on the shelf sign, net of any applicable discounts, sales tax and expected refunds. For e-commerce sales, the Company recognizes sales when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which is typically at the shipping point. The following tables summarize the Company’s point of sale transactions at clubs and gas stations, excluding sales tax, as a percentage of both net sales and total revenues:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022	July 31, 2021
Point of sale transactions, excluding sales tax, as a percent of net sales	92%	93%
Point of sale transactions, excluding sales tax, as a percent of total revenues	90%	91%


	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022		July 31, 2021
Point of sale transactions, excluding sales tax, as a percent of net sales	92	%	93	%

BJ’s Perks Rewards and My BJ’s Perks programs—The Company’s BJ’s Perks Rewards® membership program allows participating members to earn 2% cash back, up to a maximum of $500 per year, on qualified purchases made at BJ’s. The Company also offers a co-branded credit card program, the My BJ’s Perks® program, which allows My BJ’s Perks® Mastercard credit card holders to earn up to 5% cash back on eligible purchases made at BJ’s and up to 2% cash back on purchases made with the card outside of BJ’s. Cash back is in the form of electronic awards issued in $10 increments that may be used online or in-club at the register and expire six months from the date issued.

Earned awards may be redeemed on future purchases made at the Company. The Company recognizes revenue for earned awards when customers redeem such awards as part of a purchase at one of the Company’s clubs or on the Company’s website or app. 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 award dollars earned in deferred revenue at the time the award dollars are earned. This liability was $40.0 million at July 30, 2022, $30.3 million at January 29, 2022 and $25.8 million at July 31, 2021.

Royalty revenue received in connection with the My BJ’s Perks co-brand credit card program is variable consideration and is considered deferred until the card holder makes a purchase. The Company’s total deferred royalty revenue related to the outstanding My BJ’s Perks Rewards was $28.5 million, $17.8 million and $18.8 million at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations. As of July 30, 2022, the Company expects to recognize $26.6 million by the end of fiscal year 2022 and expects the remainder to be recognized in the periods thereafter.

Membership—The Company charges a membership fee to its customers. That fee allows customers to shop in the Company’s clubs, shop on the Company’s website and app and purchase gasoline at the Company’s gas stations for the duration of the membership, which is generally 12 months. As the Company has the obligation to provide access to its clubs, website, 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. The Company’s deferred revenue related to membership fees was $185.4 million, $174.9 million and $169.3 million at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

Gift Card Program—The Company sells BJ’s gift cards in both physical and digital format, which allows customers to redeem the card for future purchases equal to the amount of the original purchase price of the gift card. Revenue from gift card sales is recognized in proportion to its rate of gift card redemptions as the Company’s performance obligation to redeem the gift card for merchandise is satisfied when the gift card is redeemed. The Company also recognizes breakage in proportion to its rate of gift card redemptions. Deferred revenue related to gift cards was $11.9 million, $11.8 million and $9.7 million at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The Company recognized $12.7 million and $9.6 million of revenue from gift card redemptions in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and second quarter of fiscal year 2021, respectively. The Company recognized $23.2 million and $18.4 million of revenue from gift card redemptions in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 respectively.

ABL Revolving Facility

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into the ABL Revolving Facility with an ABL Revolving Commitment of $1.2 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. As part of this transaction, the Company extinguished the ABL Facility.

Revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Facility are available in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate ABL Revolving Commitment and 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 the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("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 0.20% 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 upon the Borrower’s, and its restricted 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.

At July 30, 2022, there were $350.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $12.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 3.42% and unused capacity was $576.7 million.

ABL Facility - Former Credit Agreement

The ABL Revolving Facility replaced the ABL Facility, which comprised of $950.0 million revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million term loan.

Interest on the ABL Facility was calculated either at LIBOR plus a range of 125 to 175 basis points or a base rate plus a range of 25 to 75 basis points; and interest on the term loan was calculated at LIBOR plus a range of 200 to 250 basis points or a base rate plus a range of 100 to 150 basis points, in all cases based on excess availability.

At January 29, 2022, there were $50.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Facility and $12.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.23%, the interest rate on the term loan was 2.10% and unused capacity was $886.9 million.

At July 31, 2021, there were $50.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Facility and $24.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.23%, the interest rate of the term loan was 2.10% and unused capacity was $768.2 million.

First Lien Term Loan

The Company’s First Lien Term Loan matures on February 3, 2024. 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. 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.

On April 30, 2021, the Company used $100.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to pay $100.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed $0.7 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

There was $701.9 million outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021. Interest rates for the First Lien Term Loan were 3.96%, 2.11% and 2.10% at July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are typical of a retail business. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, an accrual will be established for legal proceedings if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. The Company does not believe the resolution of any current proceedings will result in a material loss to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

6. 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 under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option Plan of BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. (f/k/a Beacon Holding Inc.), as amended (the "2011 Plan") and the 2012 Director Stock Option Plan of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Beacon Holding, Inc.), as amended (the "2012 Director Plan"). No further grants will be made under the 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, the 2011 Plan or the 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 upon 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 July 30, 2022, there were 5,295,613 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

On April 16, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved a modification to the equity awards agreements under the 2011 Plan, 2012 Director Plan and 2018 Plan. In the event that an employee is terminated due to death or disability, the modified equity award agreements provide for: (i) full vesting of all time-based awards, including restricted stock awards and stock options, (ii) pro-rata vesting of all performance-based awards, including performance share units, based on actual performance as of the end of the applicable performance period, pro-rated based on the period of employment during the applicable performance period, and (iii) the extension of the post-termination exercise window for vested stock options.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock award activity during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 (shares in thousands):

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that were to be reserved for issuance under the ESPP was to be equal to the sum of (i) 973,014 shares and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2019 and ending in 2028 equal to the lesser of (A) 486,507 shares, (B) 0.5% of the shares outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (C) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Company's board of directors. The offering under the ESPP commenced on January 1, 2019. The amount of expense recognized for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The amount of expense recognized for both the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 was $0.5 million. As of July 30, 2022, there were 2,084,348 shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

7. Treasury Shares and Share Repurchase Program

Treasury Shares Acquired on Restricted Stock Awards

The Company acquired 5,945 shares to satisfy employees’ tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, which were recorded as $0.3 million of treasury stock. The Company

acquired 120,421 shares to satisfy employees' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, which were recorded as $5.6 million of treasury stock.

The Company acquired 235,845 shares to satisfy employees' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, which were recorded as $15.9 million of treasury stock. The Company acquired 346,825 shares to satisfy employees' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, which were recorded as $15.7 million of treasury stock.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 16, 2021, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program") that allows the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time as market conditions warrant. The 2021 Repurchase Program expires in January 2025. The Company initiated the 2021 Repurchase Program to mitigate potentially dilutive effects of stock options and shares of restricted stock granted by the Company, in addition to enhancing shareholder value.

The Company repurchased 353,000 shares for $22.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, and 923,506 shares for $58.6 million during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022. As of July 30, 2022, $412.6 million remained available to purchase under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

8. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate is based on estimated income from continuing operations for the fiscal year, as well as discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods. The Company projects the estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 to be 27.4%, excluding the tax effect of discrete events, such as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits and changes in uncertain tax positions, among others.

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 26.6% and 24.7% for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and 24.2% and 24.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 is due primarily to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period. The slight decrease in the effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 is due to higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years from 2017 forward remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date or "exit price." The inputs used to measure fair value are generally classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments were based on quotes received from third-party banks and represent the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration current interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparties. These inputs were considered to be Level 2. All derivative instruments expired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into three forward starting interest rate swaps (the "interest rate swaps"), which became effective on February 13, 2019. The Company fixed the LIBOR component of $1.2 billion of its floating rate debt at a rate of approximately 3.0% from February 13, 2019 to February 13, 2022. The Company elected hedge accounting for the interest rate swap agreements, and as such, the effective portion of the gains or losses were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of gains or losses were recorded as interest expense.

On April 30, 2021, the Company used $150.0 million of its cash and cash equivalents to pay $100.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan and $50.0 million of the outstanding amounts on the ABL Facility. The Company accelerated the release of unrealized losses into earnings on the ineffective interest rate swap agreements and released $4.7 million recorded in other comprehensive income to interest expense, net of tax.

On July 30, 2021, the Company used $210.0 million of its cash and cash equivalents to pay $210.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the ABL Facility. The Company accelerated the release of unrealized losses into earnings on the ineffective interest rate swap agreements and released $3.5 million recorded in other comprehensive income to interest expense, net of tax.

The interest rate swaps expired in February 2022. There was no liability recorded as of July 30, 2022 and $2.2 million and $14.5 million recorded at January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The net of tax amount for the effective and ineffective interest rate swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income and interest expense, respectively.

There were no gains or losses recorded for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and $4.1 million gain recorded in other comprehensive income for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021. There were gains of $0.8 million and $8.5 million recorded in other comprehensive income for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. There were no ineffective portion of gains in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and $0.3 million recorded in interest expense for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022. The ineffective portion of gains in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 of $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, were recorded in interest expense.

The fair values of derivative instruments included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

12. Acquisitions

On May 2, 2022, the Company completed the Acquisition to bring its perishable end-to-end perishable supply chain in-house.

The total consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisition was approximately $375.6 million, excluding transaction costs. The Company recorded transaction costs related to the Acquisition of $3.6 million and

$11.5 million during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands) in connection with the Acquisition:


	Fair value as of May 2, 2022
Assets:
Property and equipment, net	$	203,400
Merchandise inventories	88,072
Goodwill	84,683
Operating lease right-of-use assets, net	15,994
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	433
Intangibles, net	100
Total Assets	392,682
Liabilities:
Long-term operating lease liabilities	(15,994)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(1,106)
Total Liabilities	(17,100)
Total consideration paid, including working capital adjustments	$	375,582

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and bringing the Company's perishable supply chain in-house. Goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $84.7 million.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with the Company as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for the Acquisition is preliminary and the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as the Company finalizes the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.

For each of the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2022, the Acquisition generated an incremental $21.8 million in revenue. It is impracticable to provide historical supplemental pro forma financial information along with earnings during the period subsequent to the Acquisition due to a variety of factors, including access to historical information and the operations of acquirees being integrated within the Company shortly after closing and not operating as discrete entities within the Company’s organizational structure.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to promote understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled "Forward-Looking Statements" and in Part I. "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021.

We report on the basis of a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Accordingly, references herein to "fiscal year 2022" relate to the 52 weeks ending January 28, 2023, and references herein to "fiscal year 2021" relate to the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2022. The second quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended on July 30, 2022, and the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended on July 31, 2021, and both include thirteen weeks.

Overview

BJ’s Wholesale Club is a leading warehouse club operator concentrated primarily on the east coast of the United States. We deliver significant value to our members, consistently offering 25% or more savings on a representative basket of manufacturer-branded groceries compared to traditional supermarket competitors. We provide a curated assortment focused on perishable products, continuously refreshed general merchandise, gasoline and other ancillary services to deliver a differentiated shopping experience that is further enhanced by our omnichannel capabilities.

Since pioneering the warehouse club model in New England in 1984, we have grown our footprint to 229 warehouse clubs spanning 17 states. In our core New England markets, which have high population density and generate a disproportionate part of U.S. gross domestic product, we operate almost three times the number of clubs compared to the next largest warehouse club competitor. In addition to shopping in our clubs, members are able to shop when and how they want through our website, www.bjs.com, and our highly rated mobile app, which allows them to use our buy-online-pickup-in-club ("BOPIC") service, curbside delivery, same day home delivery or traditional ship-to-home service, as well as through the DoorDash marketplace where members receive preferential pricing by linking their membership. We also launched Same-Day Select in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, which offers BJ’s members the ability to pay a one-time fee for either unlimited or twelve same-day grocery deliveries over a one-year period.

Our goal is to offer our members significant value and a meaningful return in savings on their annual membership fee. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, we had more than 6.5 million members paying annual fees to gain access to savings on groceries, consumables, general merchandise, services and gasoline. The annual membership fee for our Inner Circle® membership is $55 and the annual membership fee for our BJ’s Perks Rewards® membership, which offers additional value-enhancing features, is $110. We believe that members can save over ten times the price of their $55 Inner Circle membership fee versus what they would otherwise pay at traditional supermarket competitors when they spend $2,500 or more per year at BJ’s on manufacturer-branded groceries. In addition to providing significant savings on a representative basket of manufacturer-branded groceries, we accept all manufacturer coupons and also carry our own exclusive brands that enable members to save on price without compromising on quality. Our two private label brands, Wellsley Farms® and Berkley Jensen®, represented over $3.0 billion in annual sales for fiscal year 2021 and are the largest brands we sell. Our customers recognize the relevance of our value proposition across economic environments, as demonstrated by over 20 consecutive years of membership fee income growth. Our membership fee income was $381.2 million for the trailing twelve-months ended July 30, 2022.

On May 2, 2022, we completed our acquisition of the assets and operations of four distribution centers and the related private transportation fleet from Burris Logistics, which brings our end-to-end perishable supply chain in-house. See Note 12, "Acquisitions" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Acquisition.

Our business is moderately seasonal in nature. Historically, our business has realized a slightly higher portion of net sales, operating income and cash flows from operations in the second and fourth fiscal quarters, attributable primarily to the impact of the summer and year-end holiday season, respectively. Our quarterly results have been, and will continue to be, affected by the timing of new club openings and their associated pre-opening expenses. As a result of these factors, our

financial results for any single quarter or for periods of less than a year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, we have continued to face several operational challenges directly or indirectly related to the pandemic, including supply chain constraints, inflation, and wage inflation. The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented and demand may continue to change in the future if consumer purchasing behavior changes as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and the long-term impacts to our financial condition and results of operations are still uncertain.

The COVID-19 pandemic may impact many of the factors discussed in this section, including, among others, overall

economic trends, consumer preferences and demand, product mix, quarterly fluctuations, sourcing and labor shortages, which in

turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 we continued to experience elevated supply chain costs, including commodity prices, logistics, and procurement costs. We expect these market disruptions and inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Gasoline prices

The market price of gasoline impacts our net sales and comparable club sales, and large fluctuations in the price of gasoline may produce a short-term impact on our margins. Retail gasoline prices are driven by daily crude oil and wholesale commodity market changes and are volatile, as they are influenced by factors that include changes in demand and supply of oil and refined products, global geopolitical events, regional market conditions and supply interruptions caused by severe weather conditions. Typically, the change in crude oil prices impacts the purchase price of wholesale petroleum fuel products, which in turn impacts retail gasoline prices at the pump. During times when prices are particularly volatile, differences in pricing and procurement strategies between the Company and its competitors may lead to temporary margin contraction or expansion, depending on whether prices are rising or falling, and this impact could affect our overall results for a fiscal quarter.

In addition, the relative level of gasoline prices from period to period may lead to differences in our net sales between those periods. Further, because we generally attempt to maintain a fairly stable gross profit per gallon, this variance in net sales, which may be substantial, may or may not have a significant impact on our operating income.

Inflation and deflation trends

Our financial results can be directly impacted by substantial increases in product costs due to commodity cost increases or general inflation, which could lead to a reduction in our sales or units sold, as well as greater margin pressure, as increased costs for goods may not always be able to be passed on to consumers. We continue to see increased commodity prices and general inflation, which have impacted several categories of our business, and expect to continue to see the same throughout 2022. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in market disruptions, supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. In response to increasing commodity prices or general inflation, we seek to minimize the impact of such events by sourcing our merchandise from different vendors, changing our product mix or increasing our pricing when necessary.

Overall economic trends

The overall economic environment and related changes in consumer behavior have a significant impact on our business. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote customer spending in our clubs, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, may have a different or more extreme effect on spending at our clubs. Macroeconomic factors that can affect customer spending patterns, and thereby our results of operations, include employment rates, changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), government stimulus programs, tax legislation, business conditions, changes in the housing market, the availability of credit, interest rates, tax rates and fuel and energy costs. In addition, unemployment rates and benefits may cause us to experience higher labor costs.

Size and loyalty of membership base

The membership model is a critical element of our business. Members drive our results of operations through their membership fee income and their purchases. The majority of members renew within six months following their renewal date. Therefore, our renewal rate is a trailing calculation that captures renewals during the period seven to eighteen months prior to

the reporting date. We have grown our membership fee income each year for the past two decades and the quality of our membership mix continues to improve as evidenced by higher tier penetration growth in the first half of fiscal year 2022. Our membership renewal rate, a key indicator of membership engagement, satisfaction and loyalty, was 89% at the end of fiscal year 2021.

Effective sourcing and distribution of products and consumer demands

Our net sales and gross profit are affected by our ability to purchase our products in sufficient quantities at competitive prices. Recently, we have experienced challenges related to the global supply chain, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to maintain our appeal to existing customers and attract new customers primarily depends on our ability to originate, develop and offer a compelling product assortment responsive to customer preferences. As a result, our level of net sales could be adversely affected due to continuing constraints in our supply chain, including our inability to procure and stock sufficient quantities of some merchandise in a manner that is able to match market demand from our customers.

Infrastructure investment

Our historical operating results reflect the impact of our ongoing investments to support our growth. We have made significant investments in our business that we believe have laid the foundation for continued profitable growth. We believe that expanding our club footprint, bringing our end-to-end perishable supply chain in-house with the Acquisition, and enhancing our information systems, including our distribution center management system, and investing in hardware and digitally enabled shopping capabilities for convenience, such as BOPIC, curbside pickup, and same day home delivery will enable us to replicate our profitable club format and provide a differentiated shopping experience. We expect these infrastructure investments to support our successful operating model across our club operations.

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 30, 2022 (Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022) Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 2021 (Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021)

Net Sales

Net sales are derived from direct retail sales to customers in our clubs and online, net of merchandise returns and discounts. Growth in net sales is impacted by opening new clubs and increases in comparable club sales. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $5.0 billion, a 22.4% increase from net sales reported for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 of $4.1 billion. The increase was due primarily to a 19.8% increase in comparable club sales.

Comparable club sales

We believe net sales is an important driver of our profitability, particularly comparable club sales. Comparable sales growth is a function of increasing shopping frequency from new and existing members and the amount they spend on each visit. Sales comparisons can be influenced by certain factors that are beyond our control such as changes in the cost of gasoline, macro-economic factors such as inflation and supply chain disruptions. The higher comparable club sales, the more we can leverage certain of our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, reducing them as a percentage of sales and enhancing profitability.


	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022
Comparable club sales	19.8	%
Less: contribution from gasoline sales	12.2	%
Merchandise comparable club sales	7.6	%

Merchandise comparable club sales increased by 7.6% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 driven by an increase in sales of groceries of 8% and an increase in sales of general merchandise and services of approximately 4%. In grocery, sales increased as demand for beverages, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meat, candy, dairy and active nutrition categories increased compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. General merchandise and services sales increased primarily due to our services business and seasonal categories within general merchandise.

Membership fee income

We continue to see growth in the size and quality of our membership base. Membership fee income was $98.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $88.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, an 11.3% increase. The increase was primarily driven by membership renewals, new members and increased penetration of higher-tier membership levels, evidencing the strength of our membership quality.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the direct cost of merchandise and gasoline sold at our clubs, including costs associated with operating our distribution centers, including payroll, payroll benefits, occupancy costs and depreciation; freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from vendors to our distribution centers and from distribution centers to our clubs, and vendor allowances, rebates and cash discounts. We continue to experience inflation across most categories and have invested in certain categories to preserve our member value proposition.

Cost of sales was $4.2 billion, or 84.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $3.4 billion, or 83.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased 50 basis points over the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. Merchandise margins were impacted by increased freight costs as well as investments in inflationary categories and markdowns in general merchandise inventory.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A consists of various expenses related to supporting and facilitating the sale of merchandise in our clubs, including the following: payroll and payroll benefits for team members; rent, depreciation and other occupancy costs for retail and corporate locations; advertising expenses; tender costs, including credit and debit card fees; amortization of intangible assets; and consulting, legal, insurance, acquisition and integration costs, and other professional services expenses.

SG&A includes both fixed and variable components and, therefore, is not directly correlated with net sales. We expect that our SG&A will increase in future periods due to investments made to spur comparable club sales growth and our expanding footprint as we open new clubs. In addition, any future increases in wages, stock-based grants or modifications will increase our SG&A.

SG&A increased by 8.9% to $651.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 from $598.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The year-over-year increase in SG&A was primarily driven by increased labor costs as a result of last year’s wage investments as well as the acquisition, integration and operating expenses related to the Acquisition.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses include startup costs for new clubs and expenses will vary based on the number of new club openings, geography of the club, whether the club is owned or leased, and timing of the opening relative to our period end.

Pre-opening expenses were $5.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. Pre-opening expenses increased due to timing of spend for club and gas station openings year-over-year. Expansion plans remain on track with 11 new club openings expected in fiscal year 2022.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $10.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $16.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease is due to lower debt balances outstanding throughout the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 before refinancing the ABL Facility on July 28, 2022. In addition, the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 included net losses on our ineffective cash flow hedges in connection with the payment of outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility.

Provision for income taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 26.6% and 24.7% for the second quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due primarily to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 2022 (First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2022) Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 31, 2021 (First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2021)

Net Sales

Net sales are derived from direct retail sales to customers in our clubs and online, net of merchandise returns and discounts. Growth in net sales is impacted by opening new clubs and increases in comparable club sales. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2022 were $9.4 billion, a 19.5% increase from net sales reported for the first six months of fiscal year 2021 of $7.9 billion. The increase was due primarily to a 17.2% increase in comparable club sales.

Comparable club sales

We believe net sales is an important driver of our profitability, particularly comparable club sales. Comparable sales growth is a function of increasing shopping frequency from new and existing members and the amount they spend on each visit. Sales comparisons can be influenced by certain factors that are beyond our control such as changes in the cost of gasoline and macro-economic factors such as inflation and supply chain disruptions. The higher comparable club sales, the more we can leverage certain of our SG&A, reducing them as a percentage of sales and enhancing profitability.


	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022
Comparable club sales	17.2	%
Less: contribution from gasoline sales	11.3	%
Merchandise comparable club sales	5.9	%

Merchandise comparable club sales increased by 5.9% in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2021 driven by an increase in sales of groceries of approximately 8% offset by a decrease in sales of general merchandise and services of approximately 4%. In grocery, sales increased as demand for beverages, candy, active nutrition, fresh meat, dairy and bakery categories increased compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2021. General merchandise realized headwinds in consumer electronics, apparel and seasonal categories as consumers face pressure around discretionary spend due to inflation.

Membership fee income

We continue to see growth in the size and quality of our membership base. Membership fee income was $195.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $175.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2021, an 11.6% increase. The increase was primarily driven by membership renewals, new members and increased penetration of higher-tier membership levels, evidencing the strength of our membership quality.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales was $7.9 billion, or 84.5% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $6.6 billion, or 83.3% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal year 2021. Merchandise gross margin rate, which excludes gasoline sales and membership fee income, decreased 40 basis points over the first six months of fiscal year 2021. Merchandise margins were impacted by increased freight costs, investments in inflationary categories and market driven markdowns in general merchandise categories.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A increased by 7.4% to $1.3 billion in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 from $1.2 billion in the first six months of fiscal year 2021. The year-over-year increase in SG&A was primarily driven by increased labor costs as a result of last year’s wage investments as well as the acquisition, integration and operating expenses related to the Acquisition.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses were $10.8 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2021. Pre-opening expenses increased due to timing of spend for club and gas station openings year-over-year. Expansion plans remain on track with 11 new club openings expected in fiscal year 2022.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $18.7 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $35.7 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2021. The decrease is due to lower debt balances outstanding throughout the first half of fiscal year 2022 as compared to the first half of fiscal year 2021 before refinancing the ABL Facility on July 28, 2022. In addition, the first half

of fiscal year 2021 included net losses on our ineffective cash flow hedges in connection with the payment of outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility.

Provision for income taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 24.2% and 24.3% for the first six months of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively. The slight decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, are presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to relevant GAAP measures we also provide non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, comparable club sales, free cash flow, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share because management believes these metrics are useful to investors and analysts by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These measures are customary for our industry and commonly used by competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be reviewed in isolation or considered as an alternative to any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, adjusted EBITDA, comparable club sales, free cash flow, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including stock-based compensation expense; pre-opening expenses; non-cash rent; strategic consulting; offering costs; club closing and impairment charges; reduction in force severance; acquisition and integration costs; and other adjustments.

The following is a reconciliation of our income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for the periods presented:

e.Other non-cash items, including non-cash accretion on asset retirement obligations, obligations associated with our post-retirement medical plan and incremental rent expense as the Company transitions from the current home office to a new home office building in fiscal year 2022.

Comparable Club Sales and Merchandise Comparable Club Sales

Comparable club sales, also known as same-store sales, includes all clubs that were open for at least 13 months at the beginning of the period and were in operation during the entirety of both periods being compared, including relocated clubs and expansions.

Comparable club sales allow us to evaluate how our club base is performing by measuring the change in period-over-period net sales in clubs that have been open for the applicable period. Various factors affect comparable club sales, including consumer preferences and trends, product sourcing, promotional offerings and pricing, customer experience and purchase amounts, weather and holiday shopping period timing and length.

Merchandise comparable club sales represents comparable club sales from all merchandise other than our gasoline operations for the applicable period.

Free Cash Flow

We present free cash flow, which is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, as we believe it assists investors and analysts in evaluating our liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property and equipment, net of disposals, plus proceeds from sale leaseback transactions.

The following is a reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the periods presented:

Free cash flow	$	300,417	$	239,680	$	254,192	$	430,585

Free cash flow increased to $300.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to $239.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 as a result of increased income from operations as well as positive changes in working capital. Free cash flow declined to $254.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $430.6 million in the first six months of 2021 as a result of cash outflows for higher working capital, specifically inventory related to new club growth and other strategic actions we’ve taken to better position our business, such as improving in-stock levels over last year.

Adjusted Net Income

The adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share metrics are important measures used by management to compare the performance of core operating results between periods. We define adjusted net income as net income as reported adjusted for: stock-based compensation related to acceleration of stock awards; acquisition and integration costs; incremental home office expenses; loss on cash flow hedge; expenses related to debt payments; severance charges; offering costs; gains on sale leaseback transactions; club closing and impairment charges; and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments on net income. We define adjusted net income per diluted share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful metrics to investors and analysts because they present more accurate year-over-year comparisons for our net income and net income per diluted share because adjusted items are not the result of our normal operations.

(g)Represents the tax effect of the above adjustments at a statutory tax rate of approximately 28%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from club operations and borrowings from the ABL Facility and the ABL Revolving Facility. As of July 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $163.7 million and we had $576.7 million of unused capacity under our ABL Revolving Facility. Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are to fund normal recurring operational expenses and anticipated capital expenditures; fund share repurchases and meet debt service and principal repayment obligations. We believe that our current resources, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next twelve months.

In the first six months of fiscal year 2022, we used $58.6 million of available cash to repurchase 923,506 shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program. In addition, we used $50.0 million of available cash to extinguish the term loan associated with the ABL Facility.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are, in the opinion of management, reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our results of operations or financial position. We do, however, enter into letters of credit and purchase obligations in the normal course of our operations.

Summary of Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities is presented in the following table:


	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	July 30, 2022		July 31, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	443,052	$	559,313
Net cash used in investing activities	(565,381)		(128,728)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	240,574		(431,689)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	118,245	$	(1,104)

Net Cash from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $443.1 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2022 compared to $559.3 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to cash

outflows due to inflation in inventory, improvement in inventory position for key categories, partially offset by income from operations compared to the prior year.

Net Cash from Investing Activities

Cash used for capital expenditures was $565.4 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2022, compared to $128.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2021. The increase is primarily due to the Acquisition, as well as the timing, volume and cost of property, plant and equipment additions as we continue to expand our footprint.

Net Cash from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of fiscal year 2022 was $240.6 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $431.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2021. The change is due primarily to the draw down of debt on the ABL Facility and the ABL Revolving Facility in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 as compared to debt payments in the six months quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Debt and Borrowing Capacity

On April 30, 2021, the Company used $150.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to pay $100.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan and $50.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the ABL Facility. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed $0.7 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into the ABL Revolving Facility in an aggregate ABL Revolving Commitment of $1.2 billion pursuant to that certain credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and other lenders party thereto. The maturity date of the ABL Revolving Facility is July 28, 2027. As part of this transaction, the Company extinguished the ABL Facility.

At July 30, 2022, there was $350.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Revolving Facility and $12.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 3.42% and unused capacity was $576.7 million.

At July 30, 2022, the interest rate for the First Lien Term Loan was 3.96% and there was $701.9 million outstanding. See Note 4, "Debt and Credit Arrangements" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Material Cash Commitments

Our material cash commitments consist primarily of debt obligations, interest payments, leases and purchase orders for merchandise inventory. These material cash commitments impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital needs. As of July 30, 2022, other than those items related to the ordinary course of operations of our business such as inventory purchases, new leases and lease amendments, there were no material changes to our material cash commitments from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Except as described below, there were no material changes in critical accounting policies and estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Item 7., "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021 for a complete list of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires an allocation of the consideration we paid to the identifiable assets, intangible assets

and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The valuation of acquired assets will impact future operating results. We utilize third-party valuation specialists to assist us in the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired. Specifically, the fair value of the buildings and site improvement were determined using a combination of the cost, income and sales comparison approaches with the ultimate valuation primarily based on the income approach and the market approach was utilized to determine the fair value of trailers acquired.

The remaining useful lives of depreciable assets have a significant impact on earnings. The selected lives are based on the expected periods that the assets will provide value to the Company subsequent to the business combination. The Company may adjust the amounts recognized for a business combination during a measurement period after the acquisition date. Any such adjustments are based on the Company obtaining additional information that existed at the acquisition date regarding the assets acquired or the liabilities assumed. Measurement-period adjustments are generally recorded as increases or decreases to the goodwill recognized in the transaction. The measurement period ends once the Company has obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date, but does not extend beyond one year from the date of acquisition. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed beyond the measurement period are recorded through earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements since those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to changes in market interest rates and these changes in rates will impact our net interest expense and our cash flow from operations. Substantially all of our borrowings carry variable interest rates. There have been no material changes in our market risk from the disclosure included in Part II. "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control

On May 2, 2022 we completed the Acquisition to bring our end-to-end perishable supply chain in-house. As part of the Acquisition, the Company has designed and implemented controls over the evaluation, execution and recording of the transaction. We are in the process of integrating the Acquisition with our processes and internal controls over financial reporting.

Other than activity related to the Acquisition discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various litigation, claims and other proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We believe these actions are routine and incidental to the business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that any will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company set forth under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2021, except as set forth below.

We may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to make principal and interest payments on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future and is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, tax and other factors that are beyond our control. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, in the amounts projected or at all, or if future borrowings are not available to us in amounts sufficient to fund our other liquidity needs, our business financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled principal and interest payments in the future, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, sell assets, delay capital expenditures or seek additional equity. The terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including the First Lien Term Loan and the ABL Facility, may also restrict us from affecting any of these alternatives. Further, changes in the credit and capital markets, including market disruptions and interest rate fluctuations, may increase the cost of financing, make it more difficult to obtain favorable terms, or restrict our access to these sources of future liquidity. Our ABL Revolving Facility is scheduled to mature on July 28, 2027 and our First Lien Term Loan is scheduled to mature on February 3, 2024. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." If we are unable to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all or to effect any other action relating to our indebtedness on satisfactory terms or at all, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is a leading warehouse club operator concentrated primarily on the east coast of the United States. As of July 30, 2022, the Company operated 229 warehouse clubs and 160 gas stations in 17 states. The Company follows and reports based on the National Retail Federation’s fiscal calendar. The thirteen week periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are referred to herein as the "second quarter of fiscal year 2022" and the "second quarter of fiscal year 2021," respectively. Events and global business conditions such as inflation, the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the war in Ukraine have resulted in certain impacts to the global economy, including market disruptions and supply chain challenges. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 we continued to experience elevated supply chain costs, including increased commodity prices, logistics, and procurement costs. We expect these market disruptions and inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022. On May 2, 2022, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of the assets and operations of four distribution centers and the related private transportation fleet from Burris Logistics, LLC. The Company financed the purchase price with a combination of available cash and borrowings under the ABL Facility. See Note 12, "Acquisitions" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The Company acquired 120,421 shares to satisfy employees' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock awards in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, which were recorded as $5.6 million of treasury stock.

Share Repurchase Program On November 16, 2021, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program") that allows the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time as market conditions warrant. The 2021 Repurchase Program expires in January 2025.

Income Taxes	Jul. 30, 2022
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate is based on estimated income from continuing operations for the fiscal year, as well as discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods. The Company projects the estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 to be 27.4%, excluding the tax effect of discrete events, such as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits and changes in uncertain tax positions, among others. The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 26.6% and 24.7% for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and 24.2% and 24.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 is due primarily to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period. The slight decrease in the effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 is due to higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current year period. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years from 2017 forward remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities.
