Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA) reported its third-quarter results after Thursday's closing bell. Here's a look at the key figures from the quarter. 

The Details: Ulta Beauty reported quarterly earnings of $5.14 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $4.54. Quarterly revenue came in at $2.53 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.5 billion and is an increase over sales of $2.49 billion from the same period last year.

• Comparable sales (sales for stores open at least 14 months and e-commerce sales) increased 0.6%, driven by a 0.5% increase in transactions and a 0.1% increase in average ticket.
• Gross profit was $1 billion compared to $992.1 million in the same period last year.
• As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 39.7%, primarily due to deleverage of store and supply chain fixed costs and lower other revenue, partially offset by favorable channel mix and lower inventory shrink.
• Operating income was $318.5 million, or 12.6% of net sales.
• The tax rate was 24.4% compared to 24.3% from the same period last year.
