US retail earnings and tariff refund impacts

Overview

US retailers Dillard’s and Burlington Stores reported second-quarter earnings growth influenced by significant tariff refunds.

Dillard’s reported net income of $97.7 million, noting that $37.2 million in refunds related to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs served as a “significant driver” of profitability. The company indicated it does not expect further significant IEEPA tariff refunds.

Burlington Stores reported an 11% increase in total sales and received $55 million in tariff refunds during the quarter. Unlike Dillard’s, Burlington’s CEO announced plans to reinvest the full amount into the business to provide “sharper customer value and lower prices” for households facing rising living costs.
