The COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Floor & Decor’s Business; Fiscal 2021 Outlook Reaffirmed

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 the first quarter of 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. Due to the continued uncertainty regarding the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated complexity of forecasting, we are reaffirming select annual guidance for new store openings and certain other financial measures that we believe we can reasonably forecast.

Reaffirmed Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending December 30, 2021:

–Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $116 million to $118 million

–Interest expense, net of approximately $5 million

–Tax rate of approximately 24%
