Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (“We,” “Our,” the “Company,” or “Floor & Decor”) announces its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended June 29, 2023.

Tom Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Amidst the economic challenges of rising mortgage interest rates and near-record-low existing home sales, we are pleased to deliver second-quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.66, which was above our expectations. We are focused on what we can control by executing our growth and customer service strategies at a high level and effectively managing our profitability during this challenging period where sales are modestly below our expectations. As consumers prioritize value and savings, we intend to continue to grow our market share by capitalizing on our everyday low prices and value options, trend-forward broad assortments, in-stock job lot quantities, and the exceptional customer service provided by our store associates.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “In the second quarter of 2023, we achieved our plan of opening nine new warehouse stores and intend to open 32 warehouse stores in fiscal 2023. We ended the second quarter operating 203 warehouse stores and five design studios across 36 states.”

Note: Comparable Store Sales

Comparable store sales refer to period-over-period comparisons of our net sales among the comparable store base and are based on when the customer obtains control of the product, which is typically at the time of sale. A store is included in the comparable store sales calculation on the first day of the thirteenth full fiscal month following a store’s opening, which is when we believe comparability has been achieved. Changes in our comparable store sales between two periods are based on net sales for stores that were in operation during both of the two periods. Any change in the square footage of an existing comparable store, including for remodels and relocations within the same primary trade area of the existing store being relocated, does not eliminate that store from inclusion in the calculation of comparable store sales. Stores that are closed for a full fiscal month or longer are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation for each full fiscal month that they are closed. Since our e-commerce, regional account manager, and design studio sales are fulfilled by individual stores, they are included in comparable store sales only to the extent the fulfilling store meets the above mentioned store criteria. Sales through our Spartan Surfaces, LLC (“Spartan”) subsidiary do not involve our stores and are therefore excluded from the comparable store sales calculation.
