Quality

61

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 61 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Accelerating

67

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 67 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as accelerating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

49

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 49 of 100, recorded as moderate. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has been reduced at about 1.4% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

We are a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded merchandise at everyday low prices. We opened our first store in Burlington, New Jersey in 1972, selling primarily coats and outerwear. Since then, we have expanded our store base to 1,212 stores as of January 31, 2026, in 46 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. We have diversified our product categories by offering an extensive selection of in-season, fashion-focused merchandise at up to 60% off other retailers’ prices, including: women’s ready-to-wear apparel, menswear, youth apparel, baby, beauty, footwear, accessories, home, toys, gifts and coats.

We continue to focus on several ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at operating with flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency in everything we do, while delivering great value to our customers through continued improvement in the execution of our off-price model. These initiatives include, but are not limited to, those discussed under "Ongoing Initiatives for Fiscal 2026" in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As used in this Annual Report, the terms "Company," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Burlington Stores, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.

We define our fiscal year as the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. This Annual Report covers the 52-week fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (Fiscal 2025), the 52-week fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 (Fiscal 2024), and the 53-week fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (Fiscal 2023).
