Insights
Havertys' Q2 2024 results paint a challenging picture for the furniture retailer. The 13.4% decrease in consolidated sales to
Despite the sales slump, Havertys has managed to maintain its gross profit margin at
The company's expansion plans, including the addition of a second store in the Indianapolis market and a net increase of five new stores over 2024 and 2025, demonstrate a long-term growth strategy. This approach of investing during a downturn could position Havertys favorably when market conditions improve, potentially gaining market share as competitors retrench.
However, investors should be cautious. The continued decline in sales and earnings suggests that the furniture market remains under pressure, likely due to macroeconomic factors such as inflation and interest rates affecting consumer spending on big-ticket items. The company's ability to navigate this downturn while maintaining its expansion plans will be important for its long-term performance.
The furniture retail sector is clearly experiencing a significant downturn, as evidenced by Havertys' Q2 results. The
Interestingly, Havertys' decision to expand its store footprint during this challenging period is a bold move. The planned opening of a second store in the Indianapolis market, specifically in a former Bed, Bath, & Beyond location, suggests an opportunistic approach to real estate acquisition. This strategy could yield long-term benefits if executed well, allowing Havertys to secure prime locations at potentially favorable terms.
The company's commitment to opening a net of five new stores over 2024 and 2025 indicates confidence in its long-term prospects. However, this expansion amid declining sales raises questions about the balance between growth investments and managing current market challenges. It will be important to monitor how these new stores perform and whether they can help offset the declining sales in existing locations.
Havertys' ability to maintain its gross profit margin in this environment is commendable and suggests effective inventory management and pricing strategies. However, the significant drop in EPS indicates that these efforts have not been sufficient to counteract the impact of declining sales on overall profitability.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors.

Comparable Store Sales
Comparable-store or "comp-store" sales is a measure which indicates the performance of our existing stores and website by comparing the sales growth for stores and online for a particular month over the corresponding month in the prior year. Stores are considered non-comparable if they were not open during the corresponding month or if the selling square footage has been changed significantly.
Cost of Goods Sold and SG&A Expense
We include substantially all our occupancy and home delivery costs in SG&A expense as well as a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.
We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary. Our variable expenses are comprised of selling and delivery costs. Selling expenses are primarily compensation and related benefits for our commission-based sales associates, the discount we pay for third party financing of customer sales and transaction fees for credit card usage. We do not outsource delivery, so these costs include personnel, fuel, and other expenses related to this function. Fixed and discretionary expenses are comprised of rent, depreciation and amortization and other occupancy costs for stores, warehouses and offices, and all advertising and administrative costs.
