US club store Costco Wholesale Corp. has posted a 25% jump in quarterly profits, with sales gains driven by international expansion.

For the second quarter, ended 14 February, Costco posted net profit of US$299m, up from $239m last year.

Revenues gained 11%, climbing to $18.74bn from $16.84bn last year.

Sales at stores open at least a year rose 3% during the period, Costco said.

However, sales gains in the company’s domestic market lagged international growth. US same-store sales climbed 2% while international identical sales rose 10%.
