Uncategorized

Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (“We,” “Our,” the “Company,” or “Floor & Decor”) announces its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which ended June 25, 2020.

Tom Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We remain committed to supporting our customers and associates as we continue to navigate the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are excited that we were able to bring all of our stores to full operations in June and by the positive response from our Pro and DIY customers as we fully opened our stores. Our comparable store sales trends accelerated throughout the back half of the second quarter, leading to June comparable store sales growth of 7.7%. We are encouraged to see our third quarter-to-date comparable store sales accelerate to 16% from the same period last year. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain into the second half of 2020, we believe we have a flexible business model that can be responsive to local market conditions and we have multiple avenues to remain engaged with our Pro and DIY customers. I remain inspired by our associates who have rallied together in collaborative and creative ways to face the unique challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “We are pleased with our 2020 new store opening plan, which now includes 13 new warehouse stores, up from our most recent estimate of 11 stores. As we look to 2021 and beyond, we are excited about the new store pipeline for 2021, which we expect will lead to more balanced openings throughout the year, and we intend to grow our new store base by approximately 20% annually for the next several years. We have a strong balance sheet and the best liquidity in our company’s history, which has enabled us to withstand this period of uncertainty and continue to support our long-term growth initiatives.”
