Weis Markets Year-to-Date Financial Overview

Weis Markets, Inc. has recently shared its financial outcomes for the third quarter of 2025, revealing noteworthy developments and insights into their operational proficiency amid ongoing economic challenges. The company, known for its extensive grocery store network across the Mid-Atlantic region, reported significant yet mixed results, indicative of its strategic positioning within a competitive market.

Q3 2025 Highlights

Weis Markets' net sales for the third quarter, which encompassed a 13-week period leading up to September 27, 2025, amounted to $1.24 billion.

Notably, comparable store sales, which exclude fuel, climbed by 2.5% year-over-year, showing the company's effective engagement with its customers.

Chairman, President, and CEO Jonathan H. Weis expressed gratitude towards employees for their dedication and service to customers and communities. Despite the cautious consumer spending trends and macroeconomic uncertainties, the company achieved increased net sales and gross profits.

However, it's crucial to mention that the net income for the third quarter saw a significant decline. The earnings totaled $18.23 million, down 29.4% from the $25.84 million achieved in the prior year. This discrepancy in net income largely results from the previous year's financials, which included a pre-tax gain of $4.58 million from the sale of fixed assets. Adjusting for shares outstanding, earnings per share dropped to $0.74 from $0.96 year-over-year.

The net income for the year-to-date was $65.24 million, reflecting a 13.3% decrease from $75.26 million in the previous year. As with the third quarter, adjusted earnings per share showed a reduction from $2.80 in 2024 to $2.51 in 2025. This year, the reported net income included $1.24 million in expenses linked to a related party share purchase agreement.

Dividend Declaration

On October 30, 2025, the board of directors announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share to shareholders. This will benefit those recorded as shareholders by November 10, 2025, with payments scheduled for November 24, 2025.
