Sources: Costco's fiscal year is a 52/53-week year ending on the Sunday closest to August 31; FY2025 (52 weeks) is the most recently completed and reported fiscal year as of this writing (FY2026 Q4/full-year results, historically released in late September, had not yet been published). Revenue, income, warehouse-count and headcount figures are GAAP, company-disclosed, from Costco's Q4/Full Year FY2025 earnings release (SEC 8-K Exhibit 99.1, September 25, 2025) and FY2025 Form 10-K; the revenue history uses the corresponding full-year earnings releases for FY2021-FY2025. The U.S. warehouse-club market-share estimate is a third-party figure from MMCG Invest, LLC (compiled from company 10-K filings, Warehouse Club Focus trade data, and IBISWorld industry reports) for calendar/fiscal 2025, not a Costco-disclosed figure; Costco does not itself publish a market-share estimate. Costco does not break out operating income by geography or warehouse count, so no income pie is included.
