## Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 47,707 characters.

*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 Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and with our audited financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2020 (the “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.*

### Forward-Looking Statements

The discussion in this Quarterly Report, including under this 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 the Company’s future operating results and financial position, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations, and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. 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. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “seeks,” “target,” “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 only predictions. 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 this 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. 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 spending and the housing market, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
- an economic recession or depression, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
- the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or any natural disaster or unexpected event, including any impacts on the credit markets, our lenders, us, our operations, or our future financial or operational results;
- the resignation, incapacitation or death of any key personnel;
- any disruption in our distribution capabilities resulting from our inability to operate our distribution centers going forward;
- competition from other stores and internet-based competition;
- our failure to execute our business strategy effectively and deliver value to our customers;
- our inability to manage our growth;
- our inability to manage costs and risks relating to new store openings;
- our dependence on foreign imports for the products we sell, which may include the impact of tariffs and other duties;
- our inability to find, train and retain key personnel;
- violations of laws and regulations applicable to us or our suppliers;
- our failure to adequately protect against security breaches involving our information technology systems and customer information;
- our failure to successfully anticipate consumer preferences and demand;
- our inability to find available locations for our stores or our store support center on terms acceptable to us;
- our inability to obtain merchandise on a timely basis at prices acceptable to us;
- suppliers may sell similar or identical products to our competitors;
- our inability to maintain sufficient levels of cash flow to meet growth expectations;
- our inability to manage our inventory obsolescence, shrinkage and damage;
- fluctuations in material and energy costs; and
- restrictions imposed by our indebtedness on our current and future operations.

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.

### Overview

Founded in 2000, Floor & Decor is a high growth, differentiated, multi-channel specialty retailer of hard surface flooring and related accessories with 123 warehouse format stores across 30 states as of March 26, 2020. We believe that we offer the industry’s broadest in-stock assortment of tile, wood, laminate, vinyl, and natural stone flooring along with decorative and installation accessories at everyday low prices positioning us as the one stop destination for our customers’ entire hard surface flooring needs. We appeal to a variety of customers, including professional installers and commercial businesses (“Pro”), Do-it-Yourself customers (“DIY”), and customers who buy the products for professional installation.

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 first thirteen weeks of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, which ended on March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019, respectively.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020, we continued to make long-term key strategic investments, including:

- opening three new warehouse-format stores ending the quarter with 123 warehouse-format stores;
- focusing on innovative new products and localized assortments, supported by inspirational in-store and online visual merchandising solutions;
- investing in our connected customer, in-store designer, and Pro customer personnel and customer relationship technology;
- investing capital to continue enhancing the in-store shopping experience for our customers; and
- temporarily adjusting operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to the protect the health of our employees and customers, including temporarily implementing a curbside pickup model and shortening store operating hours.

### The COVID-19 Pandemic is Disrupting Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting our business. As of April 28, 2020, our second quarter fiscal 2020 comparable store sales have declined 50% compared with the same period in the prior year. While we expect some of these disruptions and the decline in sales to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and additional impacts of the pandemic on our business operations, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, including potential changes in consumer behavior due to financial, health, or other concerns, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. While the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business remains highly uncertain, we currently anticipate that disruptions from the pandemic will have a material negative impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows in fiscal 2020. These potential negative effects will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods.

We have three priorities while navigating through this period of volatility and uncertainty:

- First, to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.
- Second, to keep our brand strong and support all of our customers, including the numerous small businesses that rely upon us such as general contractors and flooring installers.
- Third, to ensure that Floor & Decor emerges strong from this event. The pandemic will eventually come to an end, and we believe that we will emerge a better company by driving our long-term strategies, responding to changing consumer behavior, and capitalizing on opportunities from our relative strength.

As of the date of this filing, we have implemented contingency planning, with most employees working remotely where possible. We are working hard to monitor and quickly respond to this situation, including communicating often throughout the organization and adapting our operations to follow rapidly evolving federal, state and local ordinances as well as health guidelines on mitigating the risk of COVID-19 transmission. We believe our rapid and thoughtful approach to serving our associates and customers in a safe manner is working well; albeit at lower sales volumes than before the pandemic. We have crisis teams in place monitoring the rapidly evolving situation and recommending risk mitigation actions; we have implemented travel restrictions as well as visitor protocols; and we are following social distancing practices. We have assessed and are implementing continuity plans to provide customers with continued supply. There has been no material impact on supply for most of our sourced merchandise, and we are also working closely with our suppliers and transportation partners.

While we have plans for fully reopening our stores in the future, these plans depend on a number of factors, including applicable regulatory restrictions, and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the manner and timing in which we can return some or all of our business to more normal operations. We may face longer term closure requirements and other operational restrictions at some or all of our physical locations for prolonged periods of time due to, among other factors, evolving and increasingly stringent federal, state, and local restrictions including shelter-in-place orders. Even once we are able to fully reopen our stores, changes in consumer behavior due to financial, health, or other concerns may reduce consumer demand for our products. As a result of these developments, the Company expects an unfavorable impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2020. See Note 8, “Subsequent Events” to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 1A., “Risk Factors” for additional information.

### Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

As discussed in Note 8, “Subsequent Events,” on March 27, 2020, the U. S. President signed into law H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). We are currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act on our business. While we have not yet completed this assessment at the time of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we anticipate that the CARES Act will result in substantial income tax benefits, including cash refunds in fiscal 2020 for income taxes paid in prior years, and allow us to conserve cash in fiscal 2020 by deferring employer social security tax payments. In addition, we expect that we may benefit from the employee retention credits and, potentially, other provisions of the CARES Act that have not yet been assessed.

### 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 “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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report.

### Results of Operations

While our revenue and earnings for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 were impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily the last week of the period, the full impact that the pandemic could have on our business remains highly uncertain. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - The COVID-19 Pandemic is Disrupting Our Business” and Item 1A., “Risk Factors” for more information about the potential impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our results of operations and overall financial performance for future periods. The following table summarizes key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales (actuals in thousands; dollar changes in millions):

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended March 26, 2020 | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ March 28, 2019 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Comparable store sales (% change) | ​ | ​ 2.4% | ​ | ​ 3.1% |

*(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for additional information and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.*

### Net Sales

Net sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 increased $77.9 million, or 16.3%, compared to the corresponding prior year period due to the opening of 20 new stores since March 28, 2019 and an increase in comparable store sales of 2.4%. The comparable store sales increase during the period of 2.4%, or $11.6 million, was primarily driven by a 3.4% increase in comparable average ticket, partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in comparable customer transactions. Among our six product categories, three experienced comparable store sales increases including laminate/luxury vinyl plank, decorative accessories/wall tile, and installation materials and tools. Non-comparable store sales increased $66.3 million during the same period primarily due to the increase in new stores previously described. Our comparable store sales increased 6.1% through March 20, 2020, the last day of normal operations before limiting stores to curbside services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe the increases in net sales and average ticket are due to the execution of our key strategic investments. We believe our continued investments and focused merchandising, connected customer, Pro, marketing, and visual merchandising strategies, along with new innovative products, led to our sales growth during the periods presented.

### Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 increased $34.7 million, or 17.2%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase in gross profit was driven by the 16.3% increase in sales and a slight increase in gross margin to 42.5%, up approximately 30 basis points from 42.2% in the corresponding prior year period. This increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher product gross margin driven by lower costs from the elimination of certain tariffs and improved merchandising strategies, partially offset by higher distribution center costs related to our new distribution center near Baltimore, Maryland that opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

### Selling and Store Operating Expenses

Selling and store operating expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 increased $25.7 million, or 20.2%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, due primarily to opening twenty new stores since March 28, 2019. As a percentage of net sales, our selling and store operating expenses increased approximately 90 basis points to 27.6% from 26.7% in the corresponding prior year period primarily driven by new stores open less than one year. Comparable store selling and store operating expenses as a percentage of comparable store sales decreased by approximately 70 basis points, as we leveraged occupancy, incentive compensation, and advertising expenses on higher net sales. Selling and store operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were also impacted by disruptions to our store operations in March 2020 caused by the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in slower sales growth, and therefore lower expense leverage, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

### General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses, which are typically expenses incurred outside of our stores, increased $0.7 million, or 2.2%, during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 compared to the corresponding prior year period due to our continued investments in personnel for our store support functions and increased depreciation due to technology investments to support store growth. Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased approximately 80 basis points to 5.6% from 6.4% in the corresponding prior year period primarily due to lower accruals for employee incentive compensation during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

### Pre-Opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 increased $1.4 million, or 34.9%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase is primarily the result of higher occupancy costs due to a longer period of possession prior to store opening as well as an increase in the number of new stores that we are preparing for opening compared to the prior year period. We opened three stores during each of the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019.

### Interest Expense

Net interest expense during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 decreased $1.1 million, or 38.1%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in interest rates as well as an increase in interest income earned during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 compared to the corresponding prior year period.

### Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 increased $1.7 million compared to the corresponding prior year period. The effective tax rate was 17.4% for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 compared to 16.6% in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher discrete expense for loss contingencies related to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the recognition of higher income tax benefits related to stock option exercises.

### 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 operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures, as they eliminate certain expenses that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitate a comparison of our core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine covenant compliance with respect to our Credit Facilities (as defined below), 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, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to eliminate the impact of 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.

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 will 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 compensation expense, loss (gain) on asset impairments and disposals, executive recruiting/relocation, and other adjustments. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such 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.

The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

*in thousands*

| ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended March 26, 2020 | ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ ​ March 28, 2019 |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Net income | ​ | $37,063 | ​ | $30,720 |
| Depreciation and amortization (1) | ​ | 21,673 | ​ | 16,871 |
| Interest expense, net | ​ | 1,807 | ​ | 2,921 |
| Income tax expense | ​ | 7,804 | ​ | 6,121 |
| EBITDA | ​ | 68,347 | ​ | 56,633 |
| Stock compensation expense (2) | ​ | 2,908 | ​ | 2,250 |
| COVID-19 costs (3) | ​ | ​ 1,310 | ​ | ​ — |
| Tariff refunds (4) | ​ | ​ (401) | ​ | ​ — |
| Other (5) | ​ | 962 | ​ | 1,185 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | ​ | $73,126 | ​ | $60,068 |

*(1) Excludes amortization of deferred financing costs, which is included as part of interest expense, net in the table above.*

*(2) Non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation programs, which vary from period to period depending on timing of awards and forfeitures.*

*(3) Represents employee payroll continuation, sanitation, and other costs directly related to disruptions caused by or efforts to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.*

*(4) Represents income for tariff refunds recognized during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 for engineered wood products. Interest income for the tariff refunds is included within interest expense, net in the table above.*

*(5) Other adjustments include amounts management does not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Amounts for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 primarily relate to legal fees associated with the February 2020 amendment to our senior secured term loan credit facility and costs associated with a potential secondary public offering of the Company’s Class A common stock by certain of our stockholders. Amounts for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2019 primarily relate to costs associated with a secondary public offering of our Class A common stock by certain of our stockholders, as well as the relocation of our Store Support Center in Smyrna, Georgia, and closure of the Miami distribution center. We did not sell any shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.*

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is provided primarily by our cash flows from operations and our $400.0 million asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Unrestricted liquidity based on our March 26, 2020 financial data was $375.6 million, consisting of $289.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $85.7 million immediately available for borrowing under the ABL Facility without violating any covenants thereunder.

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, and store support center infrastructure. We also use cash for the payment of taxes and interest.

The most significant components of our operating assets and liabilities are merchandise inventories and accounts payable, and, to a lesser extent, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, other current and non-current liabilities, taxes receivable, and taxes payable. In a normal operating environment outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, our liquidity is not generally seasonal, and our uses of cash are primarily tied to when we open stores and make other capital expenditures.

Merchandise inventory is our most significant working capital asset and is considered “in-transit” or “available for sale” based on whether we have physically received the products at an individual store location or in one of our four distribution centers. In-transit inventory generally varies due to contractual terms, country of origin, transit times, international holidays, weather patterns, and other factors.

We measure realizability of our inventory by monitoring sales, gross margin, inventory aging, weeks of supply or inventory turns as well as by reviewing SKUs that have been determined by our merchandising team to be discontinued. Based on our analysis of these factors, we believe our inventory is realizable.

Twice a year, we conduct a clearance event with the goal of selling through discontinued inventory, followed by donations of the aged discontinued inventory that we are unable to sell. We generally conduct a larger clearance event during our third fiscal quarter followed by a smaller clearance event towards the end of the fiscal year. We define aged discontinued inventory as inventory in discontinued status for more than 12 months that we intend to donate. As of March 26, 2020, we had no aged discontinued inventory that we intend to donate.

### Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Liquidity

As previously noted, the United States and other countries are experiencing business and economic disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Governmental authorities, companies, and individuals in affected regions are acting to attempt to slow the spread of the disease. As described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - The COVID-19 Pandemic is Disrupting Our Business” and “Risk Factors - The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are negatively impacting our business and could continue to have a negative impact on our net sales, results of operations, new store openings and earnings,” we have taken a number of actions to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including closing some of our stores, and have shifted our remaining stores to a curbside pickup model. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will resume normal store operations as conditions permit; however, extended or further limitations on our store operations may be required nationally, regionally, or in specific locations. Given the uncertainty of this situation, including the unknown duration and severity of the pandemic and the overall impact on consumer demand, we are unable to forecast the full impact on our business; however, this represents a known area of uncertainty, and we now expect that impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic disruption will have a material negative impact on our business. This uncertainty includes the potential need for additional capital resources to maintain our operations during a period of declining revenue from sales.

In more normal times and historically, our primary sources of funds for our business activities are cash flows from operations and our existing credit facilities. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related uncertainty, we anticipate that we will be required to rely more heavily on our cash reserves and lines of credit than we have in recent years. As a precautionary measure in light of the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed $275.0 million under our Amended ABL Facility in mid-March 2020 to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. The proceeds from this borrowing will be used for working capital, general corporate, or other purposes. In addition, to further preserve our financial liquidity, we have implemented a number of measures to minimize cash outlays, including lowering inventory purchases and related supply chain costs to align with reduced sales, temporarily reducing compensation for all executive officers and most employees, freezing new hiring, reducing or eliminating non-essential spending, reducing advertising spending, furloughing certain employees, and delaying or reducing planned capital expenditures, including new store investments. We continue to monitor this rapidly developing situation and may, as necessary, reduce expenditures further, borrow additional amounts under our term loan and revolving credit facilities, or pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. We expect that our actions to reduce expenditures together with cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, 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 at least the next twelve months. We also continue to examine the impact the CARES Act may have on our business, including potential income tax refunds, social security tax payment deferrals, and employee retention credits.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have lowered our plans for capital expenditures in fiscal 2020, but the exact scope of changes in our capital plans is evolving and will ultimately depend on a variety of factors. Total capital expenditures are currently planned to be between approximately $147.0 million to $157.0 million, compared to the approximately $255.0 million to $265.0 million we had originally planned, and will be funded primarily by cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Amended ABL facility. Our capital needs may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we choose to pursue; however, we currently intend to make the following capital expenditures in fiscal 2020:

- open 11 stores and start construction on stores opening in early 2021 using approximately $106.0 million to $112.0 million of cash;
- invest in existing store remodeling projects and our distribution centers using approximately $26.0 million to $28.0 million of cash; and
- invest in information technology infrastructure, e-commerce, and other store support center initiatives using approximately $15.0 million to $17.0 million of cash.

### Cash Flow Analysis

A summary of our operating, investing, and financing activities are shown in the following table:

*in thousands*

| ​ ​ | ​ ​ ​ | ​ ​ | ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended March 26, 2020 | ​ | ​ ​ March 28, 2019 |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | ​ | ​ | $24,668 | ​ | $27,021 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | ​ | ​ | (38,384) | ​ | (31,634) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | ​ | ​ | 276,610 | ​ | 4,420 |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | ​ | ​ | $262,894 | ​ | $(193) |

#### Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for changes in working capital as well as non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 and $27.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventory and other working capital to support operations, partially offset by an increase in net income.

#### Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for new store openings, existing store remodels (including leasehold improvements, new racking, new fixtures, new product and display vignettes, and enhanced design centers) and new infrastructure and information systems.

Capital expenditures during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 were $38.4 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The growth is primarily related to the increase in new stores that opened or were under construction during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 compared with the same period in fiscal 2019. We are preparing for an additional six new stores and one design center to be opened during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, and we generally incur significant capital expenditures for new stores a few to several months in advance of opening. During the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020, approximately 75% of capital expenditures was for new stores, 14% was for existing stores and distribution centers, while the remaining spend was associated with information technology, e-commerce, and store support center investments to support our growth.

#### Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and related repayments under our credit agreements as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock options and our employee share purchase program.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $276.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 compared with $4.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2019. The net cash provided by financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020 was primarily driven by borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $275.0 million as well as proceeds from stock option exercises of $3.8 million.

### Credit Facility Amendments

On February 14, 2020, we entered into a repricing and general amendment to the credit agreement governing our senior secured term loan facility (as amended, the “Amended Term Loan Facility”) that, among other things, (a) refinanced our existing term loan facility with a new term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $144.6 million, (b) extended the stated maturity date under the Amended Term Loan Facility to February 14, 2027, and (c) included an “accordion” feature that allows us to borrow additional amounts as described more fully in Note 3, “Debt.”

On February 14, 2020, we also entered into a repricing and general amendment to the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Amended ABL Facility”) that, among other things, (a) increased our revolving commitments to a total aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, and (b) extended the stated maturity date under the Amended ABL Facility to February 14, 2025. The Amended ABL Facility also includes an “accordion” feature that allows us under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility by an amount up to $100.0 million, or such higher amount as may be agreed to by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility).

Refer to Note 3, “Debt” for additional details regarding our Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended ABL Facility, including applicable covenants.

### Credit Ratings

Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. In November 2019, Moody's upgraded the Company's issuer corporate family rating from B1 to Ba3 and stable outlook for the Company. In April 2020, Moody’s reaffirmed the Company’s Ba3 rating but changed our outlook to negative from stable. In November 2019, S&P reaffirmed the Company's corporate credit rating of BB- and its stable outlook for the Company. 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 any further increase in our leverage or decrease in our profitability or cash flows, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary funds, could result in a credit rating downgrade or change in outlook, or could otherwise increase our cost of borrowing.

### U.S. Tariffs and Global Economy

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. imposing tariffs of 25% on many products from China. Historically, approximately half of the products we sell were imported from China, the majority of which are impacted by these tariffs. As we continue to analyze the impact these tariffs may have on our business, we continue taking steps to mitigate some of these cost increases through negotiating lower costs from our vendors, increasing retail pricing as we deem appropriate, and sourcing from alternative countries. While we expect our efforts will mitigate a substantial portion of the overall effect of increased tariffs, we expect the enacted tariffs will increase our inventory costs and associated cost of sales.

#### Antidumping and Countervailing Duties

On May 24, 2019, the U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) announced it had completed a preliminary phase antidumping and countervailing duty investigation pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 with respect to the imports of ceramic tile from China and determined there is a reasonable indication that the ceramic tile production industry in the U.S. is being materially injured by imports of ceramic tile from China that have allegedly been subsidized by the Chinese government and are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, otherwise known as “dumping”. As a result of the ITC’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “DOC”) began its own related investigation. In September 2019, the DOC reached a preliminary determination that imports from China were subsidized and imposed preliminary duties of 103.77% on most Chinese exporters. In November 2019, the DOC reached a preliminary determination that imports from China were being sold in the United States at less than fair value and imposed preliminary antidumping duty rates ranging from 114.49% to 356.02% depending on the exporter. In April 2020, the DOC reached a final determination that imports from China were subsidized and were being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result of these final determinations, the DOC adjusted the countervailing duty to 358.81% for all Chinese exporters and the antidumping duty to 203.71% or 330.69% depending on the exporter.

The DOC has instructed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require cash deposits based on the announced effective rates. The DOC’s final determination will be subject to revision or rescission in the ITC’s final determination with respect to injury, expected in early May 2020. If the ITC’s final determinations are affirmative, then countervailing and antidumping orders will be published. The final rates for the investigation period and the first 12 month period of the orders would not be determined until the administrative review process is completed, approximately two years after the order is published.

While it is too early to determine what the final outcome of the DOC and ITC investigations will be and what impact, if any, they will have on the Company, we took steps to mitigate the risk of future exposure by sourcing from alternative countries and believe we are no longer importing applicable products from China. While we do not currently believe our inventory during the investigation period is subject to these additional duties, if these additional duties were to apply to our inventory during the investigation period, we believe our exposure could be approximately $7.0 million. The actual additional duties, if applicable to us, could differ from this estimate. We have not established a reserve for this matter as we currently do not believe our inventory during the investigation period is subject to these additional duties. Potential costs and any attendant impact on pricing arising from these tariffs or potential duties, and any further expansion in the types or levels of tariffs or duties implemented, could require us to modify our current business practices and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

### Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020.

### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not have any relationship with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

### 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. The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting our business as discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 8, “Subsequent Events”, and the estimates used for, but not limited to, our critical accounting policies could be impacted. We have assessed the impact and are not aware of any specific events or circumstances that required an update to the estimates and assumptions used for our critical accounting policies or that materially affected the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, which describes recent accounting pronouncements adopted by us.

## Market risk

As filed, 1,668 characters.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Company, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of the Annual Report. While our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 26, 2019, uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility could materially impact our risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates, and commodity prices. Given the evolving nature of the pandemic, its potential impact on these and other market risks remains uncertain at this time.

### Interest Rate Risk

Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on our Credit Facilities, which carry variable interest rates. As of March 26, 2020, the remaining principal balance of our outstanding variable rate debt aggregated approximately $419.6 million. A 1.0% increase in the effective interest rate for this debt would cause an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.2 million over the next twelve months. To lessen our exposure to changes in interest rate risk, we entered into a $102.5 million interest rate cap agreement in November 2016 with Wells Fargo that capped our LIBOR at 2.0% beginning in December 2016. We do not anticipate that the interest rate cap agreement with Wells Fargo will significantly impact interest expense in the near term as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have taken recent action to lower interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and interest rates are near historic lows.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,892 characters.

### 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 26, 2020 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 26, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

## Risk factors

As filed, 6,511 characters.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 20, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, as well as the following:

***The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are negatively impacting our business and could continue to have a negative impact on our net sales, results of operations, financial position, new store openings and earnings.***

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections of the coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. National, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed or are considering quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including proposed government payments to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain. Some economists are predicting the United States may enter a recession as a result of the pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and these changing conditions, beginning on March 17, 2020 and continuing through the date we filed this report, we have closed some of our stores and have shifted our remaining stores to a curbside pickup model beginning on March 21, 2020 in the jurisdictions where government regulations permit our stores to continue to operate and where the customer demand makes such operations sustainable. We have also furloughed or modified work hours for many of our employees and identified and implemented cost savings measures throughout our operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and these responses have and will continue to adversely affect our customer traffic, sales, operating costs, and profit, and we cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, whether we will be required to close additional stores or what other government responses may occur. The COVID-19 pandemic has also adversely affected our ability to open new stores, and we have experienced construction delays.

If the business interruptions caused by COVID-19 last longer than we expect, we may need to seek new sources of liquidity. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting the availability of liquidity generally in the credit markets, and there can be no guarantee that additional liquidity will be readily available or available on favorable terms, especially the longer the COVID-19 pandemic lasts.

Our operations have been and could be further disrupted if any of our employees is diagnosed with COVID-19 since this could require us to quarantine some or all of a store’s employees and disinfect the impacted stores. If a significant percentage of our workforce is unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with COVID-19, our operations may be negatively impacted, potentially affecting our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Our suppliers have been and could also be further adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. If our suppliers’ employees are unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we could face shortages of inventory at our stores and our operations and sales could be adversely impacted by such supply interruptions.

Our business may be further negatively impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or another disease pandemic, epidemic, or similar widespread public health concern; these impacts may include but are not limited to:

- Additional temporary store closures due to reduced workforces or government mandates or the need to continue utilizing a curbside pickup model or otherwise modify our operations;
- Failure of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, contractors, commercial banks, joint venture partners and external business partners to meet their obligations to the company, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact our operations;
- Supply chain risks such as scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;
- Construction delays or halts, preventing us from opening new stores;
- Liquidity strains, which could slow the rate at which we open new stores;
- Inability of our key leaders to visit our stores, which could negatively impact customer service and associate morale;
- Reduced workforces which may be caused by, but not limited to, the temporary inability of the workforce to work due to illness, quarantine, or government mandates;
- Increased cybersecurity risks due to the number of associates working remotely;
- Increased litigation risk as a result of the pandemic; and
- Reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, which may be caused by, but not limited to, the temporary inability of customers to shop with us due to illness, quarantine or other travel restrictions, or financial hardship, shifts in demand away from discretionary spending, or shifts in demand from higher priced products to lower priced products.

Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or another disease pandemic, epidemic, or similar widespread public health concern, including effects that are not currently foreseeable, could materially increase our costs, negatively impact our sales and damage our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. The duration of any such impacts cannot be predicted, and while it is not clear whether our current insurance policies will provide recovery for any of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future disease pandemic, epidemic, or similar widespread public health concern, we do not anticipate that such policies will provide adequate coverage for the impacts of COVID-19 or any future disease pandemic, epidemic, or similar widespread public health concern.
