Insights

The Q4 2024 results reveal Floor & Decor's resilience in a challenging market, with notable operational improvements despite headwinds. The 5.7% revenue growth to $1.1 billion demonstrates effective execution, particularly impressive given the slight -0.8% comparable store sales decline. The significant 100 basis point operating margin expansion to 5.4% reflects successful cost management initiatives and operational leverage.

The company's aggressive expansion continues with 10 new stores in Q4, bringing the total to 251 locations. However, the -7.1% full-year comparable store sales decline raises concerns about market saturation and cannibalization risks. The planned $330-400 million capital expenditure for 2025 suggests confidence in the growth strategy, but requires careful monitoring given the substantial investment during a period of uncertain demand.

The 2025 guidance indicates a measured recovery, with projected revenue growth of 6.4-10% and comparable store sales expectations of flat to 3% growth. The $540-575 million Adjusted EBITDA guidance implies margin stability, though the wide EPS range of $1.80-2.10 reflects ongoing market uncertainties. The company's focus on new store openings while maintaining healthy margins demonstrates effective balance sheet management, but success will depend on improving same-store performance alongside expansion.

Net sales of $1,107.4 million increased 5.7% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023

Comparable Store Sales

Comparable store sales refer to period-over-period comparisons of our net sales at the time of sale among the comparable store base. 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 at the time of sale 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which are shown in the reconciliation below) are presented as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization adjusted to eliminate the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth in the table below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance and enterprise value. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures, as they eliminate certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitate comparisons on a consistent basis from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine covenant compliance with respect to our credit facilities, to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of our financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow for management’s discretionary use. In addition, these non-GAAP measures exclude certain non-recurring and other charges. Each of these non-GAAP measures has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the items eliminated in the adjustments made to determine EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, such as stock-based compensation expense, litigation settlement recovery, fair value adjustments related to contingent earn-out liabilities, and other adjustments. Definitions and calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in the retail industry, and therefore EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.

Please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where it believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and the Company is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the non-GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this release and the associated webcast/conference call, including statements regarding the Company’s future operating results and financial position, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “budget,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release and the associated webcast/conference call are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections regarding the Company’s business, the economy, and other future conditions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements in this release and the associated webcast/conference call are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future events, results, performance or achievements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements in this release or the associated webcast/conference call, including, without limitation, (1) an overall decline in the health of the economy, the hard surface flooring industry, consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and the housing market, including as a result of persistently high or rising inflation or interest rates, (2) our failure to successfully manage the challenges that our planned new store growth poses or the impact of unexpected difficulties or higher costs during our expansion, (3) our inability to lease or acquire new store locations on acceptable terms, renew or replace our current store leases, or make payments under our leases, (4) our failure to maintain and enhance our brand image and awareness, (5) our failure to successfully anticipate and manage trends, consumer preferences, and demand, (6) our inability to successfully manage increased competition, (7) geopolitical risks, U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs, and any antidumping and countervailing duties, any of which could impact our ability to import from foreign suppliers or raise our costs, (8) our inability to manage our inventory, including the impact of inventory obsolescence, shrink, and damage, (9) any disruption in our distribution capabilities, supply chain, and our related planning and control processes, including carrier capacity constraints, port congestion, strike, or shut down, and other supply chain costs or product shortages, (10) any increases in wholesale prices of products, materials, and transportation costs beyond our control, including increases in costs due to inflation, (11) the resignation, incapacitation, or death of any key personnel, including our executive officers, (12) our inability to attract, hire, train, and retain highly qualified managers and staff, (13) the impact of any labor activities, (14) our dependence on foreign imports for the products we sell, including risks associated with obtaining products from abroad, (15) any failure by any of our suppliers to supply us with quality products on attractive terms and prices or to adhere to the quality standards that we set for our products, (16) our inability to locate sufficient suitable natural products, (17) the effects of weather conditions, natural disasters, or other unexpected events, including public health crises, that may disrupt our operations, (18) restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on our current and future operations, including risks related to our variable rate debt, (19) any allegations, investigations, lawsuits, or violations of laws and regulations applicable to us, our products, or our suppliers, (20) our inability to adequately protect the privacy and security of information related to our customers, us, our associates, our suppliers, and other third parties, (21) any material disruption in our information systems, including our website, (22) our ability to manage our comparable store sales, (23) our inability to maintain sufficient levels of cash flow or liquidity to fund our expanding business and service our existing indebtedness, (24) new or changing laws or regulations, including tax laws and trade policies and regulations, (25) any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or disputes regarding our intellectual property or the intellectual property of third parties, (26) the impact of any future strategic transactions, and (27) our ability to manage risks related to corporate social responsibility. Additional information concerning these and other factors are described in “Forward-Looking Statements,” Item 1, “Business,” Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and Item 1C, “Cybersecurity” of Part I and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2025 (the “Annual Report”) and elsewhere in the Annual Report, and those described in the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements contained in this release or the associated webcast/conference call speak only as of the date hereof. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. If a change to the events and circumstances reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results may vary materially from those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein or in the associated webcast/conference call, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.
