Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021:

  • Net sales increased 26.4% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 to $914.3 million.
  • Comparable store sales increased 14.0% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
  • Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased 14.8% to $0.46 from $0.54 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020; adjusted diluted EPS* decreased 6.4% to $0.44 from $0.47 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 included an additional week, which contributed estimated earnings of $0.06 per diluted share.

Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: FND) (“We,” “Our,” the “Company,” or “Floor & Decor”) announces its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2021. Tom Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are proud to have achieved several milestones in fiscal 2021 and, most important, continued to grow our market share in a challenging environment. Despite the continuing challenges presented by COVID, widespread disruption in the global supply chain, and related cost headwinds, we delivered record full-year fiscal 2021 sales and earnings results.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “For the 2021 fiscal year, we opened 27 new warehouse-format stores, representing 20.3% growth from fiscal 2020. We ended 2021 operating 160 warehouse-format stores and two design studios in 33 states, further extending our store footprint and brand awareness. We plan to open 32 new warehouse-format stores in fiscal 2022. As we look beyond 2022, we are excited to announce that we have expanded our new store opportunity in the United States. We now believe there is a path to operating at least 500 warehouse-format stores over the next 8 to 10 years compared with our prior market expectations of operating at least 400 warehouse-format stores.”

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31. Our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (fiscal 2020) included an additional week of operations (53rd week), which affects comparability to the 52-week fiscal year ended December 30, 2021 (fiscal 2021) and the 52-week fiscal year ending December 29, 2022 (fiscal 2022). When presenting comparable store sales, we have excluded the last week of the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. Please see “Comparable Store Sales” below for information on how the Company calculates its comparable store sales growth.

*Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Floor & Decor's Business

The COVID-19 pandemic had a material negative impact on our financial results during the first half of fiscal 2020. While our financial results during the second half of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 have been strong, the full impact that the pandemic could have on our business remains highly uncertain.

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our associates, customers, business partners, and supply chain. However, given the evolving nature of the pandemic and uncertainty regarding its potential severity and duration, the full financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of vaccination programs, the spread of COVID-19 within the markets in which we operate, the impact to countries from which we source inventory, fixed assets, and other supplies, the effect of the pandemic on consumer confidence and spending, and actions taken by government entities in response to the pandemic, all of which are highly uncertain.

Fiscal 2022 Sales and Earnings Outlook:

  • Net sales of approximately $4,285 to $4,375 million
  • Comparable store sales growth of approximately 10.5% to 13.0%
  • Diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.75 to $3.00
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $575 million to $610 million
  • Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $151 million
  • Interest expense, net of approximately $7 million
  • Tax rate of approximately 24%, excluding tax benefits resulting from stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units
  • Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 108.4 million shares
  • Open 32 new warehouse-format stores and four small design studios
  • Capital expenditures in the range of approximately $550 million to $590 million

About Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc.

Floor & Decor is a multi-channel specialty retailer and commercial flooring distributor operating 160 warehouse-format stores and two design studios across 33 states as of December 30, 2021. The Company offers a broad assortment of in-stock hard-surface flooring, including tile, wood, laminate, vinyl, and natural stone along with decorative accessories and wall tile, installation materials, and adjacent categories at everyday low prices. The Company was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

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 subsidiary do not involve our stores and are therefore excluded from the comparable store sales calculation.

Our fiscal 2020 year, which ended December 31, 2020, included a 53rd week. When presenting comparable store sales, we have excluded the last week of the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which are shown in the reconciliations 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 Adjusted net income as net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and the tax effect related to those items. We define Adjusted diluted EPS as Adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of 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 tables below.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures, as they eliminate certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitate a comparison of our core operating performance 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. Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as performance measures to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of our financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or diluted EPS 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, Adjusted net income, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the items eliminated in the adjustments made to determine Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, such as stock compensation expense, loss on asset impairments and disposals, and other adjustments. Our presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Definitions and calculations of Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in the retail industry, and therefore Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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.

We cannot predict the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that has occurred within the last day and any heightened geopolitical instability or results that may follow, including reductions in consumer confidence, heightened inflation, production disruptions in Europe, cyber disruptions or attacks, higher natural gas costs, higher manufacturing costs and higher supply chain costs. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict could cause our results to differ materially from the outlook presented above.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release and the associated webcast/conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this release, including statements regarding the Company’s future operating results and financial position, expectations related to our acquisition of Spartan Surfaces, Inc. (“Spartan”), business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations, and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. 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. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company’s business, the economy and other future conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “seeks,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “budget,” “potential,” “focused on” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are only predictions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements in this release 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 spending and the housing market, including as a result of rising inflation or interest rates or the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) an economic recession or depression, (3) global inflationary pressures on raw materials could cause our vendors to seek further price increases on the products we sell, (4) our failure to successfully anticipate consumer preferences and demand, (5) our inability to manage our growth, (6) our inability to manage costs and risks relating to new store openings, (7) our inability to find available locations for our stores on terms acceptable to us, (8) any disruption in our distribution capabilities, including from difficulties operating our distribution centers, (9) any disruption in our supply chain, including carrier capacity constraints, higher shipping prices and other supply chain costs or product shortages, (10) our failure to execute our business strategy effectively and deliver value to our customers, (11) our inability to find, train and retain key personnel, (12) the resignation, incapacitation or death of any key personnel, (13) the inability to staff our stores and distribution centers sufficiently, including for reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, (14) a pandemic, such as COVID-19, or other natural disaster or unexpected event, and its impacts on our suppliers, customers, employees, lenders, operations, including our ability to operate our distribution centers and stores or on the credit markets or our future financial and operating results, (15) our dependence on foreign imports for the products we sell, which may include the impact of tariffs and other duties, (16) geopolitical risks that impact our ability to import from foreign suppliers, (17) any restrictions, regulations, blocks or changes in the use of “cookie” tracking technologies could cause cookies to become less reliable or acceptable as a means of tracking consumer behavior, which could cause the amount of accuracy of internet user information we collect to decrease, which could harm our business and operating results, (18) violations of laws and regulations applicable to us or our suppliers, (19) our failure to adequately protect against security breaches involving our information technology systems and customer information, (20) suppliers may sell similar or identical products to our competitors, (21) competition from other stores and internet-based competition, (22) increases in commodity, material, transportation and energy costs, including the impact such increases could have on the cost of goods sold, (23) impact of acquired companies, including Spartan, (24) our inability to manage our inventory obsolescence, shrinkage and damage, (25) our inability to maintain sufficient levels of cash flow or liquidity to meet growth expectations, (26) our inability to obtain merchandise on a timely basis at prices acceptable to us and (27) restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on our current and future operations. Additional information concerning these and other factors are described in “Forward-Looking Statements,” Item 1, “Business” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” 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 for fiscal 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022 (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.
