Operating
Cash flows from operating activities increased $31.9 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher net income and decreased accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
Investing
The $28.4 million decrease in cash flow from investing activities in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to lower sales of marketable securities in 2026 following the sale of marketable securities used to partially fund the $140.0 million share purchase in June 2025.
Financing
Cash flows from financing activities increased $141.5 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to the $140.0 million share purchase in June 2025. The Company paid dividends of $25.2 million and $26.7 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
