Office Depot’s Margin and Earnings for 1Q18

Office Depot’s Margin and Earnings for 1Q18

Office Depot’s (ODP) gross margin contracted ~160 bps (basis points) to 23.6% since the cost of goods sold increased more than 8%. The company’s operating margin narrowed by 190 bps to 2.7%, primarily due to an ~8% increase in SG&A (selling, general, and administrative) expenses. Its adjusted operating margin contracted 220 bps to 3.3%, marred by the company’s transformative initiatives and lower sales for the Retail division.
