Where the FY2024 figure comes from
“Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2024 decreased approximately 40 basis points from fiscal 2023 primarily due to a 45 basis point decrease in buying costs mainly due to lower incentive compensation expense, a 45 basis point decrease in distribution costs, and a 30 basis point decrease in domestic freight costs. Partially offsetting these items was a 60 basis point decrease in merchandise margin primarily due to our continued efforts to offer more sharply ”
