New in FY2025

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Persistent macroeconomic headwinds, including high interest rates and weak home sales, may continue to depress demand for our products.
  • Our sales are highly sensitive to consumer discretionary spending, which is influenced by factors such as overall economic conditions, interest rates, housing market activity, inflation, employment levels, and consumer confidence.
  • In the past few years, we have faced a challenging environment as mortgage interest rates remain high and existing home sales remain low, which together have reduced home remodeling activity.
  • Many homeowners are staying in their homes rather than moving or undertaking renovations due to factors including high financing costs and home affordability concerns.
  • These conditions have directly contributed to softer demand for hard surface flooring.
  • We have seen pressure on customer traffic and average ticket sizes, resulting in negative comparable store sales and weaker performance from new stores.
  • If interest rates remain elevated or climb further, if housing turnover stays depressed, or if broader economic growth slows, consumers may continue deferring flooring purchases.
  • High inflation over the past two years has also eroded discretionary income and savings, making budget-conscious consumers more hesitant to undertake big ticket projects.
  • Any sustained weakness in consumer demand – whether due to prolonged high borrowing costs, low housing turnover, reduced consumer confidence, or an economic downturn – would adversely affect our sales and profitability.
  • Prolonged macroeconomic headwinds could lead to continued negative same store sales, inventory build-up, and the need for heavier promotions to stimulate demand, which in turn would further pressure our margins and cash flow and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • If we fail to successfully manage our new store growth or encounter higher-than-expected costs, our expansion plans and future profitability could suffer.
  • We have 270 warehouse-format stores and five small-format standalone design studios located throughout the United States as of December 25, 2025.
  • Certain of our new store openings are expected to be smaller stores and certain stores will be in smaller markets.
  • As we continue to open new stores, the ultimate cost of future store openings could continue to rise significantly due to delays in obtaining necessary construction and occupancy permits, construction-related costs, or other reasons.
  • As a result of these factors and other factors that may be outside of our control, newly opened stores may not succeed, may not reach profitability at all, or may be slower to reach profitability than we expect.
  • Our comparable store sales decreased 1.8% for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2025 and by 7.1% for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2024, primarily due to decreased consumer demand for the products we sell.
  • This decrease in comparable store sales has had a negative impact on our net sales for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2025, and while future net sales growth will depend substantially on our plans for new store openings, our comparable store sales growth is a significant driver of our net sales, profitability, cash flow, and overall business results.
  • Our growth strategy largely depends on our ability to identify and open future store locations, which can be difficult because our warehouse-format stores in major metropolitan markets generally require at least 50,000 square feet of floor space.
  • We also intend to continue to purchase the real property for certain new locations, and such strategy may not be successful.
  • We face growing competition from omnichannel retailers who may have similar product offerings.
  • We will be at a competitive disadvantage if, over time, our competitors are more effective than us in their utilization and integration of rapidly evolving technologies, including artificial intelligence.
  • Adverse changes in global trade policies, tariffs, or import enforcement actions could increase our costs or disrupt our supply chain.
  • The current domestic and international political environment, including existing and potential changes in global trade and tariffs, has resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy and related impacts to our supply chain.
  • In 2025, the U.S. imposed significant additional tariffs on products from most countries where we source products.
  • Although the U.S. has agreed to trade deals or frameworks for trade deals with certain countries and continues to negotiate with other countries, the timing of implementation and stability of these trade deals are unclear.
  • Additionally, if the U.S. implements further tariffs, countries where we source products may impose new tariffs and other trade measures on the U.S. in response, resulting in potentially escalating trade conflict between the U.S. and its trading partners.
  • These tariffs have increased and will continue to increase our inventory costs and associated cost of sales, which have resulted in and in the future may result in increased retail prices and may adversely impact sales.
  • Furthermore, the broader impact of increased tariffs on the economy has and in the future may negatively impact consumer demand for our products, which may also have an adverse impact on sales.
  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • In particular, in recent years, tensions between mainland China and Taiwan have further escalated.
  • In case of a military conflict between China and Taiwan, our ability to import products from Asia could be limited.
  • Similarly, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine could impact our ability to import products and result in further increases in energy costs.
  • While we do not believe that our suppliers source materials from Xinjiang for the products they sell to us, any detentions, withhold release orders, inquiries, or other policy developments could result in shortages, delays, and/or price increases that could disrupt our own supply chain, adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, or cause our suppliers to fail to perform their obligations.
  • We have developed multiple supply sources in a variety of countries and believe our vendor compliance program reflects our commitment to a supply chain free of forced labor.
  • Despite these efforts, we could still be adversely affected by increases in our costs, negative publicity related to the industry, or other adverse consequences to our business.
  • We currently maintain a high level of inventory in order to have a broad assortment of products across a wide variety of hard surface flooring categories in job-lot quantities, with inventory per warehouse-format store consisting of on average approximately 4,200 SKUs and approximately $2.7 million of inventory at cost as of December 25, 2025.
  • We also carried an additional $486.3 million of inventory outside our stores, primarily at our distribution centers and in-transit to our distribution centers, as of December 25, 2025.
  • Disruptions in our distribution network or supply chain could impair our ability to deliver products to stores and customers on time.
  • Our operating results may be affected by the wholesale prices of hard surface flooring products, installation materials, and the related accessories that we sell.
  • A material component of the cost of our products includes transportation costs to move the products from the manufacturer to our stores, and, as we have experienced, these costs could increase due to the factors listed above and in the other risks described in this report, which can have a material impact on inventory and cost of sales.

Gone since FY2024

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Declines in certain economic conditions, which impact consumer discretionary spending, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • Consumer discretionary spending affects our sales and is impacted by factors outside of our control, including general economic and political conditions, interest rates, the residential housing market, unemployment rates, inflation, disposable income levels, consumer confidence, recession fears, energy costs, consumer credit availability and terms, consumer debt levels, salaries and wage rates, and geopolitical events and uncertainty.
  • Declines in the level of consumer confidence and spending and high interest rates have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, consumer spending habits and consumer discretionary spending, which have resulted in, and may continue to result in, reduced demand for our products.
  • The hard surface flooring industry is highly dependent on existing home sales because homeowners often replace flooring before selling a home or shortly after purchasing a home and, to a lesser extent, on new home construction.
  • The increase in interest rates in 2022 and 2023 and persistently higher interest rates in 2024 has contributed to several years of negative existing home sales, with such sales near record lows in 2024.
  • We believe such inflationary pressure has resulted in elevated mortgage rates and adversely impacted consumer behavior.
  • High interest rates, housing affordability, and any such shift in consumer behavior may adversely affect the demand for existing homes, remodeling, and new home construction.
  • In addition, existing home sales, remodeling, and new home construction depend on a number of other factors that are beyond our control, including inflation, tax policy, trade policy, employment levels, consumer confidence, credit availability, real estate prices, home-price appreciation, demographic trends, weather conditions, natural disasters, geopolitical or public safety conditions, and general economic conditions.
  • In particular, interest rates and inflation could remain at high levels, continue to rise, or decline at too slow a rate, undermining consumer confidence and eroding discretionary income; home-price appreciation could slow or turn negative; and regions where we have stores could be impacted by hurricane, fire, or other natural disasters.
  • We believe any one or a combination of these factors has resulted, and could continue to result in, decreased demand for our products, reduced spending on homebuilding or remodeling of existing homes, or a decline in purchases of new and existing homes, each of which has adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • If we fail to successfully manage the challenges that our planned new store growth poses or encounter unexpected difficulties or higher costs during our expansion, our operating results and future growth opportunities could be adversely affected.
  • We have 251 warehouse-format stores and five small-format standalone design studios located throughout the United States as of December 26, 2024.
  • Certain of our new store openings are expected to be smaller stores in smaller markets.
  • For example, we have experienced unexpected delays in opening new stores due to delays in obtaining necessary construction and occupancy permits, which have resulted in higher costs than previously anticipated.
  • As we continue to open new stores, the ultimate cost of future store openings could continue to rise significantly due to construction-related or other reasons, including construction and other delays and cost overruns, such as shortages of materials; shortages of skilled labor or work stoppages; unforeseen construction, scheduling, engineering, environmental or geological problems; governmental or permitting delays; weather interference, fires or other casualty losses; and unanticipated cost increases.
  • As a result of these factors and other factors that may be outside of our control, newly opened stores may not succeed or may not reach profitability at all, or may be slower to reach profitability than we expect.
  • Our growth strategy largely depends on our ability to identify and open future store locations, which can be difficult because our warehouse-format stores in major metropolitan markets generally require at least 60,000 square feet of floor space.
  • We also intend to continue to purchase the real property for new locations, and such strategy may not be successful.
  • We face growing competition from omni-channel retailers who may have similar product offerings.
  • We will be at a competitive disadvantage if, over time, our competitors are more effective than us in their utilization and integration of rapidly evolving technologies.
  • Rising geopolitical tensions and U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs, including with respect to antidumping and countervailing duties, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • The current domestic and international political environment, including existing and potential changes to U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy.
  • In particular, the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China has resulted in the U.S. announcing on February 1, 2025, an additional 10% tariff for all products from China, beyond the previous 25% tariff already imposed on the vast majority of the products we import from China.
  • Approximately 18% of the products we sold in fiscal 2024 were produced in China.
  • The current U.S. presidential administration has also indicated the possibility of imposing significantly increased tariffs on imports into the U.S., not only from China but also from other countries.
  • Any further expansion in the types or levels of tariffs implemented on China or other countries has the potential to negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • Additionally, there is a risk that the U.S. tariffs on imports are met with tariffs on U.S. produced exports and that a further trade conflict could ensue, which has the potential to significantly impact global trade and economic conditions, including the imposition of new measures with little notice.
  • While we do not believe that our suppliers source materials from Xinjiang for the products they sell to us, certain of our products, including luxury vinyl plank, have been subject to detentions and inquiries.
  • While such detentions and inquiries have not had a material impact on our business as of December 26, 2024, any detentions, withhold release orders, inquiries, or other policy developments could result in shortages, delays, and/or price increases that could disrupt our own supply chain, adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, or cause our suppliers to fail to perform their obligations.
  • While we have developed multiple supply sources in a variety of countries and believe our vendor compliance program reflects our commitment to a supply chain free of forced labor, we could still be adversely affected by increases in our costs, negative publicity related to the industry, or other adverse consequences to our business.
  • Rising geopolitical tensions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • In particular, in recent years, tensions between mainland China and Taiwan have further escalated, with China accelerating the development of military capabilities in order to “reunite Taiwan by force.” In case of a military conflict between China and Taiwan, our ability to import products from China could be limited.
  • Similarly, the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East could impact our ability to import products and result in further increases in energy costs, and attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have impacted and may continue to increase our supply chain costs.
  • We currently maintain a high level of inventory in order to have a broad assortment of products across a wide variety of hard surface flooring categories in job-lot quantities, with inventory per warehouse-format store consisting of on average approximately 4,400 SKUs and approximately $2.7 million of inventory at cost as of December 26, 2024.
  • We also carried an additional $507.9 million of inventory outside our stores, primarily at our distribution centers and in-transit to our distribution centers, as of December 26, 2024.
  • Any disruption in our distribution capabilities, our supply chain, or our related planning and control processes may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • Our operating results may be affected by the wholesale prices of hard surface flooring products, setting and installation materials, and the related accessories that we sell.
  • A material component of the cost of our products includes transportation costs to move the products from the manufacturer to our stores, and, as we have experienced, these costs could increase due to the factors listed above and in the other risk factors, which can have a material impact on inventory and cost of sales.
  • Our success depends substantially upon the continued retention of our key personnel, including our executive officers.
  • We believe that our success has depended and continues to depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our key personnel, including our executive officers, and the loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on us and would be potentially disruptive to our business until such time as a suitable replacement is hired.
