The Cato Corporation Income Statement 2026-2009 | CATO
Brief overview of revenue and earnings at The Cato Corporation
The comparison covers a five-year financial horizon. According to figures from The Cato Corporation, revenue changed from 575 million dollars to 654 million dollars over five years. Across the full period, sales moved by +13.7%; the average annual rate was 2.6%. Revenue was effectively stagnant over the period.
The gross result shifted from $142 million to $222 million, or +56.6%. The relationship between sales and direct costs improved over the period. At the margin level, the figure shifted from 24.7% to 34%. A wider margin shows that the economics of the core business improved.
Over the period, EBITDA shifted from −58.1 million dollars to −2.7 million dollars, a change of +95.4%. EBITDA grew faster than revenue, indicating positive operating leverage. EBITDA margin moved from −10.1% to −0.4%. The company improved its ability to convert sales into EBITDA.
Across the five years, the net result shifted from −47.5 million dollars to −5.9 million dollars. The direction improved, yet positive earnings are still absent.
The market value of the business moved from 383 million dollars to 51.7 million dollars, or −86.5%. Financial performance is stronger than the share-price trend.
What the figures show
Signs of deterioration dominate the five-year picture. The strongest signals are net-income growth, higher operating efficiency and improving gross profitability. The most visible risks are lower investor confidence, limited operating profitability and weak sales momentum. The key question is whether sales can be converted into sustainable profit.

The income statement is one of the three key financial reports of a company The Cato Corporation (alongside the balance sheet and the cash flow statement). It shows how the company makes money and what its expenses are:
- How much revenue the company earned
- How much it spent on production, personnel, marketing, taxes, etc.
- What profit remained in the end
Analyzing the income statement helps an investor understand whether the business generates stable and growing profits, how effectively the company controls its expenses, and whether it is capable of generating income in the future. Additionally, this analysis shows how the company copes with crises and economic cycles, and allows assessing the potential for stock price growth and dividend payments.
Features- The income statement may include both recurring and one-time items (for example, profit from the sale of assets). It is necessary to separate core metrics from one-off events for accurate analysis.
- Companies often publish interim reports (e.g., quarterly), which allows for more timely tracking of trends.
- A combined analysis of the income statement with the balance sheet and cash flow statement provides a comprehensive view of the company’s financial health.
