We achieved stellar sales and earnings growth in the second quarter. I am incredibly proud of our teams across the Company, whose dedication and strong execution drove these outstanding results. Our performance was fueled by our compelling merchandise offerings, engaging marketing initiatives, and continued enhancements to the in-store experience. We were pleased to see strength throughout the quarter, with comparable store sales growth once again primarily driven by customer traffic. Importantly, that growth was supported by both an increase in new customers and higher engagement from existing customers. These trends ROSS STORES, INC. 5130 Hacienda Drive, Dublin, CA 94568 (925) 965-4400 reinforce our belief that the actions we are taking are not only driving the current business performance but that we can continue to build on our early successes.
