Executive Summary

PriceSmart reported a solid Q4 FY2024, with revenue of $1.226 billion (YoY +9.65%, QoQ -0.28%), and a gross profit of $211.9 million, yielding a gross margin of 17.28%. Operating income reached $49.20 million (4.01% margin), contributing to a net income of $29.07 million (net margin of 2.37%). Despite a positive bottom line, earnings per share (EPS) was reported as -$3.63 for the quarter, an anomaly that warrants follow-up in the earnings call to understand any one-off items or accounting adjustments impacting per-share metrics. The company generated robust operating cash flow of $41.84 million and free cash flow of $15.16 million, supporting a strong liquidity position and modest leverage. Balance sheet remains healthy with cash and short-term investments of $225.5 million, total debt of $249.6 million, and net debt of $124.3 million. PriceSmart continues to benefit from its US-style warehouse club model across Central America, the Caribbean and Colombia, supported by growth initiatives in ecommerce (Click & Go) and a disciplined capital allocation strategy. Forward-looking commentary in the data set is limited, so the outlook focuses on the cadence of gross margins, cash generation, and potential uplift from digital channel expansion and store network optimization.
