What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1It relies on manufacturers and other vendors to supply merchandise in the quantities, quality, timing, and prices it needs.
2It depends on paid members renewing and continuing to shop at its clubs and through its digital services.
3It relies on distribution centers, transportation, and club inventory being available to keep goods on shelves.
4Its sales and margins are affected by wholesale fuel costs and retail gasoline prices.

What could go wrong

1If members do not renew, shop less, or lose confidence in BJ’s value, both membership-fee income and merchandise sales can be affected.
2Supplier problems, higher purchase costs, or distribution interruptions can leave clubs without wanted goods or reduce the margin on sales.
3Changes in consumer spending, price competition, and volatile gasoline prices can affect sales and margins.
