Net sales were up 11% to $18.82bn. The company said the quarter included sales from its 50%-owned Mexican joint venture as it began consolidating its operations in the country on a prospective basis from the beginning of this fiscal year.
Costco said that, without these sales, the increase would have been 8%.
Comparable sales were up 5% excluding fuel, with a 4% rise in its US operations and a 10% rise internationally.
