Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO


“We closed 2021 with the highest level of fourth quarter revenue in our company history and set a new annual sales record. We have also made significant progress securing inventory from our vendors and improving our in-stock levels. During the fourth quarter, we were able to return $33 million of capital to our shareholders in the form of a $0.65 per share special dividend. While we’re pleased with these developments, inflationary cost pressure continues to have an adverse impact on our gross margin rate. We have and will continue to take steps to protect our gross margin through selective pricing actions. In addition, we have taken calculated steps to reinvest in the business which resulted in higher levels of SG&A expense year-over-year. We anticipate that these investments will help position the Company for continued revenue growth in the future.”

^(2)^ The<br> comparable store sales operating metric is the percentage change in sales of comparable stores<br> period over period. A store is considered comparable on the first day of the 13th full month<br> of operation. When a store is relocated, it is excluded from the comparable store sales calculation.<br> Comparable store sales includes total charges to customers less any actual returns. The Company<br> includes the change in allowance for anticipated sales returns applicable to comparable stores<br> in the comparable store sales calculation. Comparable store sales data reported by other<br> companies may be prepared on a different basis and therefore may not be useful for purposes<br> of comparing the Company’s results to those of other businesses. Company management<br> believes the comparable store sales operating metric provides useful information to both<br> management and investors to evaluate the Company’s performance, the effectiveness of<br> its strategy and its competitive position.

FourthQUARTER 2021


Net Sales

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased $8.6 million, or 10.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. Sales increased at comparable stores by 10.3% during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in average ticket. For the year, net sales increased $45.6 million, or 14.0%, in 2021 compared to 2020. Over the last 12 months, we have seen improved sales due to strong demand for home improvement products, an increase in the average ticket driven by higher prices, and the execution of our strategy that have contributed to a 13.8% increase in sales at comparable stores during 2021.


Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $3.7 million, or 6.7%, in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The gross margin rate was 66.1% and 68.5% during the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin rate during the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the cost of our products driven by vendor price increases and higher international freight rates which was partially offset by price increases implemented in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the year, gross profit increased $31.6 million, or 14.3%, in 2021 compared to 2020. The gross margin rate was 68.3% and 68.1% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the full year, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by better pricing during the first half of 2021 and an improvement in customer delivery collection rates.

Selling,General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million, or 6.5%, from $53.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 to $56.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in payroll and benefits expenses associated with headcount additions made over the last year. For the year, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.4 million, or 8.1%, in 2021 compared to 2020. The increase included a $7.3 million increase in variable compensation expenses, a $1.9 million increase in transportation costs and a $1.1 million increase in interchange fees. Additionally, SG&A expenses increased as we resumed normal business operations during 2021 and included a $3.9 million increase in staffing costs, a $1.5 million increase in benefits, and a $1.4 million increase in marketing expenses. We recorded $0.7 million and $2.2 million of asset impairment charges during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Provisionfor Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $1.0 million and $1.1 million respectively. For the year, the provision for income taxes increased $6.7 million in 2021 compared to 2020. Our effective tax rate was 26.0% in 2021 and (34.0)% in 2020. The tax benefit recognized during 2020 and the improvement in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which gave us the ability to carry back federal net operating losses to years with a federal statutory tax rate of 35%.

Inventory


Inventory increased $22.9 million from $74.3 to $97.2 million on December 31 2020 and 2021, respectively, which resulted in an improvement in our in-stock levels.

Capital Structureand Liquidity

During the fourth quarter, we declared and paid a $0.65 special dividend per share which resulted in a $32.9 million return of capital to our shareholders during the quarter. As of December 31, 2021 our cash balance was $9.4 million and our debt balance was $5.0 million.

Non-GAAP FinancialMeasures

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates Pretax Return on Capital Employed by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and Pretax Return on Capital Employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, for budgeting and planning purposes and for assessing the effectiveness of capital allocation over time. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

3

Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.

IMPACT OF THECOVID-19 PANDEMIC

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. COVID-19 has negatively impacted public health and the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created volatility in financial markets. We have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we anticipate we will continue to be negatively impacted at least throughout the duration of the pandemic. The continuing implications of COVID-19 on us remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic and the effects of new variants of COVID-19, some of which may be more virulent or transmissible than the initial strain; its impact on our employees, customers and suppliers; the range and timing of government mandated restrictions and other measures, including the reimplementation of previously lifted measures or imposition of new measures; and the success of the deployment and widespread adoption of approved COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness against new variants of COVID-19. This uncertainty could have a material impact on the accounting estimates and assumptions utilized to prepare our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods, which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our operations during 2020. For instance, we experienced a sharp decline in traffic toward the end of the first quarter of 2020 following the onset of COVID-19 in the United States. In response, we took steps to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses by eliminating a portion of our workforce, reducing store hours, curtailing advertising spending, reducing the number of replenishment trucks sent from our distribution centers to our stores and limiting other SG&A spending when possible. As state and local governments started lifting restrictions toward the end of the second quarter of 2020, we saw an improvement in traffic and sales trends. Throughout the remainder of 2020, we took a cautious approach to investing in activities that would increase our SG&A expenses, which included operating our stores at a reduced hours schedule compared to the prior year.

The pandemic has had a significant impact on our supply chain. During 2021, we experienced elevated levels of product shortages, which were partially due to vendor production delays and global shipping capacity constraints resulting, in part, from the impact of COVID-19. We were able to work with our vendors to secure delivery of backordered product and improve our overall inventory levels as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, many of our vendors have begun to communicate price increases in response to inflationary cost pressure, which, combined with escalated international shipping rates, is resulting in an increase in the cost of our inventory and corresponding pressure on our gross margin rates. In response to this cost pressure, we have adjusted, and plan to continue to adjust, our pricing.

While we are cautiously optimistic with the current business trend and the progress made distributing COVID-19 vaccinations in recent months, the continued sporadic outbreaks of COVID-19 cases occurring globally, as well as the ongoing spread of new COVID-19 variants, could have a negative impact on us. Specifically, we could be adversely impacted by limitations on our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state or federal orders requiring stores to close or employees to remain home; labor shortages resulting from various factors; limitations of carriers to deliver our products to customers; product shortages; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner. These events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. In addition, even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of the economic impact of the pandemic.
