Forward-Looking Statements
The discussion in this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 27, 2025 (the “Quarterly Report”), including under Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Part I and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Part II, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our 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 Quarterly Report 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 our 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 we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we 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 Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, those factors described in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Part I of this Quarterly Report, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Part II of this Quarterly Report, and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include the following:
•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, geopolitical events or uncertainty, or tariffs;
•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;
•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;
•our failure to maintain and enhance our brand image and awareness;
•our failure to successfully anticipate and manage trends, consumer preferences, and demand;
•our inability to successfully manage increased competition;
•geopolitical risks, policies related to global trade and tariffs in the U.S. and other countries, and any antidumping and countervailing duties, any of which could impact our ability to import from foreign suppliers or raise our costs;
•our inability to manage our inventory, including the impact of inventory obsolescence, shrink, and damage;
•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;
•any increases in wholesale prices of products, materials, and transportation costs beyond our control, including increases in costs due to inflation or tariffs;
•the resignation, incapacitation, or death of any key personnel, including our executive officers;
•our inability to attract, hire, train, and retain highly qualified managers and staff;
•the impact of any labor activities;
•our dependence on foreign imports for the products we sell, including risks associated with obtaining products from abroad;
•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;
•our inability to locate sufficient suitable natural products;
3
•the effects of weather conditions, natural disasters, or other unexpected events, including public health crises, that may disrupt our operations;
•restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on our current and future operations, including risks related to our variable rate debt;
•any allegations, investigations, lawsuits, or violations of laws and regulations applicable to us, our products, or our suppliers;
•our inability to adequately protect the privacy and security of information related to our customers, us, our associates, our suppliers, and other third parties;
•any material disruption in our information systems, including our website;
•our ability to manage our comparable store sales;
•our inability to maintain sufficient levels of cash flow or liquidity to fund our expanding business and service our existing indebtedness;
•new or changing laws or regulations, including tax laws and trade policies and regulations;
•any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or disputes regarding our intellectual property or the intellectual property of third parties;
•the impact of any future strategic transactions; and
•our ability to manage risks related to corporate social responsibility.
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 Quarterly Report speak only as of the date hereof. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. If a change to the events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements occurs, our business, financial condition, and operating results may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Floor & Decor,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a high-growth, differentiated, multi-channel specialty retailer of hard surface flooring and related accessories and seller of commercial surfaces. The Company offers a broad in-stock assortment of laminate and vinyl, tile, wood, and natural stone flooring and installation materials and decorative accessories, as well as adjacent categories, at everyday low prices. Our stores appeal to a variety of customers, including professional installers and commercial businesses (“Pro”) and homeowners, which are comprised of do-it-yourself customers (“DIY”) and buy-it-yourself customers, who buy our products for professional installation (“BIY”).
As of March 27, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Floor and Decor Outlets of America, Inc. (“Outlets”), operates 254 warehouse-format stores, which average 77,000 square feet, and five small-format standalone design studios in 38 states, as well as four distribution centers, an e-commerce site, FloorandDecor.com, and a commercial surfaces business through its subsidiary, Spartan Surfaces, LLC (“Spartan”). Substantially all of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities are held by Outlets.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31st. The fiscal year ending December 25, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”) and the fiscal year ended December 26, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”) include 52 weeks. 52-week fiscal years consist of thirteen-week periods in each quarter of the fiscal year. When a 53-week fiscal year occurs, the Company reports the additional week at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2024 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet for the fiscal year then ended. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). Management believes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no significant changes to our Significant Accounting Policies as disclosed in the Annual Report. For more information regarding our Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates, see Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Codification Improvements. In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-02, “Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements.” ASU No. 2024-02 removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements within the Codification. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company adopted ASU No. 2024-02 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU No. 2024-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no significant changes in the recently issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not disclosed in this Quarterly Report or in the Annual Report are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact to the Company.
9
2. Revenue
Net sales consist of revenue associated with contracts with customers for the sale of goods and services in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for those goods and services.
Deferred Revenue & Contract Liabilities
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the inventory. Amounts in deferred revenue at period-end reflect orders for which the inventory was not yet ready for physical transfer to customers.
Contract liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 27, 2025 and December 26, 2024 primarily consisted of deferred revenue as well as unredeemed gift cards in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of March 27, 2025, contract liabilities totaled $22.3 million and included $14.6 million of deferred revenue and $7.7 million of unredeemed gift cards. As of December 26, 2024, contract liabilities totaled $20.2 million and included $13.2 million of deferred revenue and $7.0 million of unredeemed gift cards. Of the contract liabilities outstanding as of December 26, 2024, approximately $14.1 million was recognized in revenue during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company has one reportable segment. The following table presents the net sales of each major product category:

(1)Total interest expense, net of interest income includes interest income related to the Company’s cash on hand and interest rate cap agreements. The Company recognized interest income of $1.6
Term Loan Facility
The Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the “Prime Rate,” (2) the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.5 % and (3) the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.0 %, or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin (each term as defined in the Term Loan Facility credit agreement). The Applicable Margin for base rate loans will be between 1.00 % and 1.25 %, and the Applicable Margin for SOFR loans will be between 2.00 % and 2.25 % (subject to a floor of 0.00 %), in each case, if the Company exceeds certain leverage ratio tests.
All obligations under the Term Loan Facility are secured by (1) a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the property and assets of Outlets and the other guarantors under the Term Loan Facility (other than the collateral that secures the ABL Facility on a first-priority basis), with certain exceptions, and (2) a second-priority security interest in the collateral securing the ABL Facility on a first-priority basis.
ABL Facility
As of March 27, 2025, the Company’s ABL Facility had a maximum availability of $800.0 million with actual available borrowings limited to the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) eligible credit card receivables multiplied by the credit card advance rate, plus (b) the cost of eligible inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by the applicable appraisal percentage, plus (c) 85 % of eligible net trade receivables, plus (d) all eligible cash on hand, plus (e) 100 % of the amount for which any eligible letter of credit must be honored after giving effect to any draws, minus certain Availability Reserves (each component as defined in the ABL Facility). The ABL Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit and contains a sublimit of $50.0 million for standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit combined. Available borrowings under the facility are reduced by the face amount of outstanding letters of credit. The Company’s ABL Facility allows for the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility by an additional amount up to $200.0 million.
All obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by (1) a first-priority security interest in the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, and related assets of Outlets and the other guarantors under the ABL Facility, with certain exceptions, and (2) a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the other property and assets of Outlets and the other guarantors that secure the Term Loan Facility on a first-priority basis.
As of March 27, 2025, net availability under the ABL Facility was $762.9 million as reduced by letters of credit of $37.1 million.
11
Covenants
The credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility contain customary restrictive covenants, which, among other things and with certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens in connection with such indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments, (iii) effect mergers or consolidations, (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates, (v) sell or dispose of property or assets, and (vi) engage in unrelated lines of business. In addition, these credit agreements subject the Company to certain reporting obligations and require that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants, including, among other things, a requirement that if borrowings under the ABL Facility exceed 90 % of availability, the Company will maintain a certain fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as Consolidated EBITDA less non-financed capital expenditures and income taxes paid to consolidated fixed charges, in each case as more fully defined in the ABL Facility).
The Term Loan Facility has no financial maintenance covenants. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreements.
Fair Value of Debt
Market risk associated with the Company’s long-term debt relates to the potential change in fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from a change in interest rates. The aggregate fair value of debt is based primarily on the Company’s estimates of interest rates, maturities, credit risk, and underlying collateral. The estimated fair value and classification within the fair value hierarchy of the Term Loan Facility was as follows as of March 27, 2025 and December 26, 2024:
| in thousands | Fair Value Hierarchy Classification | March 27, 2025 | December 26, 2024 | ||||||||||||||
| Term Loan Facility | Level 3 | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
The Term Loan Facility fair value is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs significant to the valuation, including indicative pricing from counterparties and discounted cash flow methods. No
4. Income Taxes
Effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within each period. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22.0 % and 12.8 % for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes that were partially offset by federal tax credits. For the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2024, the effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to tax deductions in excess of book expense related to stock-based compensation awards.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The majority of the Company’s long-term operating lease agreements are for its retail locations, distribution centers, and corporate office, which expire in various years through 2055. Most of these agreements are retail leases wherein both the land and building are leased. The Company also has ground leases in which only the land is leased. The initial lease terms for the Company’s retail locations, distribution centers, and corporate office typically range from 10 -20 years. The majority of the Company’s leases also include options to extend, which are factored into the recognition of their respective assets and liabilities when appropriate based on management’s assessment of the probability that the options will be exercised.
12
When readily determinable, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, substantially all of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses a third party to assist in the determination of a secured incremental borrowing rate, determined on a collateralized basis, to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The secured incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on yields obtained from Bloomberg for U.S. consumers with a BB credit rating and is adjusted for collateralization as well as inflation. As of March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024, the Company’s weighted average discount rate was 6.0 % and 5.8 %, respectively. As of both March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s leases was approximately 12

Litigation
On November 15, 2021, the Company was added as a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit, Nguyen v. Inspections Now, Inc., No. 21-DCV-287142, pending in the 434th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas. Bestview International Company (“Bestview International”) is also named as a defendant in the case; former defendants Inspections Now, Inc., Jason Post Homes, LLC and Bestview (Fuzhou) Import & Export Co. LTD have been dismissed. Plaintiff’s petition alleges that “wood paneling” allegedly purchased from the Company was installed in the vicinity of plaintiff’s fireplace and caught fire while the fireplace was lit. The fire consumed plaintiff’s home and resulted in injuries to plaintiff and another occupant and the death of plaintiff’s three children and mother. Plaintiff alleges product defect and failure to warn claims against the Company and product defect, failure to warn, and strict liability claims against Bestview International. Plaintiff’s petition seeks damages in excess of $1.0 million for property damage, personal injury, and wrongful death. The petition also seeks exemplary damages. Plaintiff’s ex-husband, brother, and the additional occupant have since intervened as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Intervenors allege the same claims against the Company and Bestview International and collectively seek damages in excess of $11.0 million for property damage, personal injury (as to the other occupant), wrongful death, and exemplary damages. The Company has answered all petitions, denying the allegations. The case is currently set for trial in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
The Company maintains insurance that may cover any liability arising out of the above-referenced litigation up to the policy limits and subject to meeting certain deductibles and to other terms and conditions thereof. Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, the Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses that may result from the above-referenced litigation.
The Company is also subject to various other legal actions, claims, and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, which may include claims related to general liability, workers’ compensation, product liability, intellectual property, and employment-related matters resulting from its business activities. As with most actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability cannot always be determined. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These various other ordinary course proceedings are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. Regardless of the outcome, however, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
6. Stock-based Compensation
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company measures compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense, net of forfeitures, using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of awards expected to vest, which for each of the awards is the service vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 was $6.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

14
Restricted Stock Units
The Company periodically grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”), each of which represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. During the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors comprised of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Service-based RSUs vest based on the grantee’s continued service through the vesting date. The performance-based RSUs cliff vest based on (i) the Company’s achievement of predetermined financial metrics at the end of a three-year performance period and (ii) the grantee’s continued service through the vesting date. Depending on the extent to which the relevant performance goals are achieved, the number of common shares earned upon vesting may range from 0 % to 200 % of the award granted. The Company assesses the probability of achieving all performance goals on a quarterly basis. The service period for RSUs granted during the period varies by grantee and is one year from the grant date for non-employee directors and three years from the grant date for employees and executive officers. The grant-date fair value of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.

7. Earnings Per Share
Net Income per Common Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of share-based awards using the treasury stock method.
15
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

8. Fair Value Measurements
As of March 27, 2025 and December 26, 2024, the Company had certain financial assets and liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their respective carrying values as reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 3, “Debt” for discussion of the fair value of the Company’s debt.
Contingent Earn-out Liabilities
As of March 27, 2025, the Company’s contingent earn-out liability had an aggregate estimated fair value of $0.8 million, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contingent earn-out liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. The table below summarizes changes in contingent earn-out liabilities during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025:
| in thousands | Contingent Earn-out Liabilities | |||||||
| Balance at December 26, 2024 | $ | |||||||
Fair value adjustment | ( | |||||||
| Payments | ( | |||||||
| Balance at March 27, 2025 | $ | |||||||
The $0.4 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 was recognized as a benefit in general and administrative expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Interest Rate Cap Contract
Changes in interest rates impact the Company’s results of operations. In an effort to manage exposure to this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts and may adjust its derivative portfolio as market conditions change.
16
As of March 27, 2025, the Company’s outstanding interest rate cap contract was designated as a cash flow hedge. The contract has a notional value of $150.0 million and effectively caps SOFR-based interest payments on a portion of the Company’s Term Loan Facility at 5.50 % beginning in May 2024 and will continue until the agreement expires in April 2026. The effective portion of the gain or loss on effective cash flow hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The effective portion of the derivative represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company’s outstanding interest rate cap contract as of March 27, 2025 and December 26, 2024 was valued primarily using Level 2 inputs based on data readily observable in public markets. The Company’s interest rate cap contract was negotiated with counterparties without going through a public exchange. Accordingly, the Company’s fair value assessment for the derivative contract gave consideration to the risk of counterparty default as well as the Company’s own credit risk. For the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024, the change in fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts was approximately less than $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income net of tax of less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. No interest income was reclassified from AOCI into earnings related to the interest rate cap contract during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 compared to $1.4 million of interest income reclassified from AOCI into earnings related to the interest rate cap contracts during the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2024.
9. Supply Chain Finance
The Company facilitates supply chain finance programs through financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a supplier utilizes one of the supply chain finance programs and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, the supplier takes a discount on the invoice. The Company then pays the financial intermediary the full amount of the invoice on the original due date. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participation in the program. Supplier participation is voluntary, and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the financial intermediaries. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as trade accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to the financial intermediaries reflected in at March 27, 2025 and December 26, 2024 were $177.3 million and $167.7 million, respectively.
10. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information about the Company’s two operating segments, Floor & Decor Retail (“Retail”) and Spartan, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Retail segment sells hard surface flooring and related accessories through retail stores located in the United States and through its website. The Spartan segment, which engages in selling commercial surfaces and is entirely comprised of the Company’s Spartan subsidiary, does not meet the materiality criteria of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and is therefore not disclosed separately as a reportable segment.
The Company does not report capital expenditures or assets at the segment level as the information is not regularly provided to the CODM. The Company does not have intersegment sales.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes of Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report and with our audited financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report. As used in this Quarterly Report, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “Floor & Decor,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and “Spartan” refers to our subsidiary Spartan Surfaces, LLC.
Overview
Founded in 2000, Floor & Decor is a high-growth, differentiated, multi-channel specialty retailer of hard surface flooring and related accessories and seller of commercial surfaces with 254 warehouse-format stores and five small-format standalone design studios across 38 states as of March 27, 2025. We believe our unique approach to selling hard surface flooring and our consistent and disciplined culture of innovation and reinvestment create a differentiated business model in the hard surface flooring category. We believe that we offer the broadest in-stock assortment of laminate and vinyl, tile, wood, and natural stone flooring and installation materials and decorative accessories, as well as adjacent categories, at everyday low prices. This positions us as the one-stop destination for our customers’ entire hard surface flooring needs. We appeal to a variety of customers, including Pros and homeowners, which are comprised of DIY and BIY customers.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025, we opened four new warehouse-format stores and closed one warehouse-format store, ending the quarter with 254 warehouse-format stores and five design studios.
We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending the Thursday on or preceding December 31. The following discussion contains references to the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024, respectively.
Key Performance Indicators
We consider a variety of performance and financial measures in assessing the performance of our business. The key performance and financial measures we use to determine how our business is performing are comparable store sales, the number of new store openings, gross profit and gross margin, operating income, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. For definitions and a discussion of how we use our key performance indicators, see the “Key Performance Indicators” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of how we define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Other key financial terms we use include net sales, selling and store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and pre-opening expenses. For definitions and a discussion of how we use other key financial terms, see the “Other Key Financial Definitions” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for any period should not be considered indicative of future results. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for information about the potential impacts that risks, such as declines in economic conditions that affect the residential housing market and consumer spending for hard surface flooring, interest rates, inflation, global supply chain disruptions, regulatory and political conditions, trade policy, and geopolitical instability, among others, may have on our results of operations and overall financial performance for future periods.

(1) Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” further below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
Net Sales
Net sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 increased $63.5 million, or 5.8%, compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily due to sales from the 30 new warehouse-format stores that we opened since March 28, 2024, partially offset by a decrease in comparable store sales of 1.8%. The comparable store sales decline during the period of 1.8%, or $18.5 million, was due to a 3.8% decrease in comparable transactions, which we believe was largely driven by the impact of lower existing home sales, partially offset by a 2.1% increase in comparable average ticket, which was primarily due to change in sales mix. Non-comparable sales of $82.0 million during the same period were primarily driven by new stores.
We estimate that retail sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 were approximately 50% from homeowners and 50% from Pros compared to approximately 55% from homeowners and 45% from Pros during the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2024.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 increased $38.1 million, or 8.1%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the 5.8% increase in net sales and an increase in gross margin to 43.8%, up approximately 100 basis points from 42.8% in the same period a year ago primarily driven by a decrease in supply chain costs.
20
Selling and Store Operating Expenses
Selling and store operating expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 increased $34.5 million, or 10.3%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in selling and store operating expenses was primarily driven by $38.5 million for new stores, partially offset by a decrease of $5.0 million at our comparable stores. As a percentage of net sales, selling and store operating expenses increased by approximately 130 basis points to 31.8% from 30.5% in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in selling and store operating expenses in total and as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the addition of new stores and deleverage from a decrease in comparable store sales.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 increased $2.4 million, or 3.5%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase of $2.9 million in personnel expenses. Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by approximately 10 basis points to 6.0% from 6.1% in the corresponding prior year period.
Pre-Opening Expenses
Pre-opening expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 decreased $3.6 million, or 37.5%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in pre-opening expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 primarily resulted from a decrease in the number of future stores that we were preparing to open compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 decreased $0.4 million, or 20.8%, compared to the corresponding prior year period due to lower average interest rates and lower average outstanding borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $13.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 compared to $7.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2024. The effective tax rate was 22.0% for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 compared to 12.8% in the corresponding prior year period. The effective tax rate increase during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 expenses 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 ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility (together, the “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 as performance measures to evaluate companies in our industry.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with 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. See below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
21
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, 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.
For the periods presented, the following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

(2) Represents non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation programs, which vary from period to period depending on the timing of awards and forfeitures.
(3) Other adjustments include amounts management does not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Amounts for both the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 relate to changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is provided primarily by cash flows from operations and our $800.0 million ABL Facility. Unrestricted liquidity as of March 27, 2025 was $949.8 million, consisting of $186.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $762.9 million immediately available for borrowing under the ABL Facility without violating any covenants thereunder. Our liquidity is generally not seasonal.
Our primary cash needs are for merchandise inventories, payroll, store rent, and other operating expenses and capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and remodeling existing stores as well as information technology, e-commerce, store support center, and distribution center infrastructure. We also use cash for the payment of taxes and interest and, as applicable, acquisitions. We expect that cash generated from operations together with cash on hand, the availability of borrowings under our Credit Facilities, and if necessary, additional funding through other forms of external financing, will be sufficient to meet liquidity requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and payments due under our Credit Facilities for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
22
Total capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 are planned to be between approximately $310 million to $360 million and are expected to be funded primarily by cash generated from operations and borrowings under the ABL Facility. Our capital needs may change in the future due to changes in our business, new opportunities that we choose to pursue, or other factors. We currently expect the following for capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 (projected amounts are based on the gross costs that we expect to accrue for these investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in fiscal 2025, which may include amounts incurred but not yet settled in cash during the period):
•invest approximately $200 million to $235 million to open 20 warehouse-format stores, relocate stores, and begin construction on stores opening after fiscal 2025;
•invest approximately $20 million to $25 million in new distribution centers near Seattle and Baltimore;
•invest approximately $50 million to $55 million in existing stores and distribution centers; and
•invest approximately $40 million to $45 million in information technology infrastructure, e-commerce, and other store support center initiatives.
Cash Flow Analysis
A summary of our operating, investing, and financing activities is shown in the following table:

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (739) | $ | 23,044 | ||||||||||
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of (i) net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and changes in the fair values of contingent earn-out liabilities and (ii) changes in working capital.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 was $71.2 million and $147.5 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the change in inventory, which was partially offset by an increase in trade accounts payable.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities typically consist primarily of capital expenditures for new store openings and existing store remodels, including leasehold improvements, racking, fixtures, vignettes, design centers, and new infrastructure and information systems. Cash payments to acquire businesses are also included in investing activities.
Net cash used in investing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 was $66.7 million and $111.7 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to a decrease in capital expenditures driven by a decrease in new stores under construction compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and related repayments under our Credit Facilities, tax payments related to the vesting or exercise of stock-based compensation awards, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and our employee share purchase program, and payments of contingent earn-out consideration.
Net cash used in financing activities during the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2025 and March 28, 2024 was $5.2 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in payments of contingent earn-out liabilities and tax payments for stock-based compensation awards.

Our Credit Facilities
As of March 27, 2025, total Term Loan Facility debt outstanding was $199.8 million, and no amounts were outstanding under our ABL Facility. For additional information regarding our Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, including applicable covenants and other details, please refer to Note 3, “Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Credit Ratings
Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. As of March 27, 2025, our Standard & Poor’s issuer credit rating of BB with a stable outlook and Moody’s issuer credit rating of Ba3 with a stable outlook remain unchanged from December 26, 2024. These ratings and our current credit condition affect, among other things, our ability to access new capital. Negative changes to these ratings may result in more stringent covenants and higher interest rates under the terms of any new debt. Our credit ratings could be lowered or rating agencies could issue adverse commentaries in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. In particular, a weakening of our financial condition, including an increase in our leverage or decrease in our profitability or cash flows, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary funds, result in a credit rating downgrade or change in outlook, or otherwise increase our cost of borrowing.
U.S. Tariffs and Global Economy
In fiscal 2024, approximately 73% of the products we sold were produced outside of the U.S., including around 18% from China. The current geopolitical environment, particularly related to existing and potential changes in global trade and tariffs, has created uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy and related impacts to our supply chain. In early 2025, the U.S. imposed significant additional tariffs on products from most countries where we source products, with further tariffs being considered. Although some of those tariffs were subsequently paused, it is unclear whether the pause will remain in place, and if so, for how long. Additionally, certain countries where we source products, such as China, either have imposed or are considering imposing new tariffs on U.S. products in response, resulting in potentially escalating tariffs from both the U.S. and its trading partners.
As we continue to manage the impact these tariffs may have on our business and the complexities of the various trade policy actions, we continue taking steps to mitigate some of the cost increases through negotiations with our vendors, sourcing from alternative countries, and increasing retail pricing as we deem appropriate. We also intend to continue to significantly decrease the amount of our products that are sourced from China. While we continue to mitigate the overall effect of increased tariffs, these tariffs have increased and will continue to increase our inventory costs and associated cost of sales, which may result in increased retail prices and may adversely impact sales. Furthermore, the broader impact of increased tariffs on the economy may negatively impact consumer demand, which may also have an adverse impact on sales.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors management believes to be reasonable. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, which describes recent accounting pronouncements adopted by us.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of Part II of the Annual Report. While our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 26, 2024, uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of declines in economic conditions that affect the residential housing market and consumer spending for hard surface flooring, inflation, global supply chain disruptions, regulatory and political conditions, trade policy, and geopolitical instability, among other factors, have introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. See further discussion in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional details.
24
Interest Rate Risk
Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on our Credit Facilities, which have variable interest rates. Based on the $199.8 million total outstanding principal balance of our Credit Facilities as of March 27, 2025, a 1.0% increase in the effective interest rate of this debt would cause an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.0 million over the next twelve months, excluding the impact of our interest rate cap agreement. To lessen our exposure to interest rate risk, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement in January 2024 with a notional value of $150.0 million. The interest rate cap agreement effectively caps SOFR-based interest payments on a portion of the Company’s Term Loan Facility at 5.50% beginning in May 2024 and will continue until the agreement expires in April 2026. For additional information related to the Company’s Credit Facilities, refer to Note 3, “Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 27, 2025 and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company has begun a multi-year implementation of portions of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which will replace our existing core financial and merchandising systems. The implementation is expected to occur in phases through 2027. As the phased implementation occurs, it may result in changes to our processes and procedures, which may result in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. As such changes occur, we will evaluate quarterly whether they materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
