Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (LL) 10-Q Quarterly Report November 2022

RICHMOND, Va., August 3, 2022 – LL Flooring Holdings, Inc. (“LL Flooring” or “Company”) (NYSE: LL), a leading specialty retailer of hard-surface flooring in North America, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

President and Chief Executive Officer Charles Tyson said, “During the second quarter, our teams delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth in sales to Pro customers, opened six new stores and rebuilt our inventory levels.

“We reported second quarter 2022 comparable store sales down 3.1%, representing sequential improvement from the first quarter of 2022 and a 6.9% increase on a three-year stack basis. The year-over-year decrease in comparable store sales reflected continued lower spending by consumers versus last year, which we believe reflected pressure from inflation and higher interest rates, and their preference to spend more on travel and entertainment. We reported operating margin of 1.6% and adjusted operating margin of 2.0%, as we continued to invest in our long-term growth strategies and navigate gross margin headwinds.”

Tyson continued, “While we are cautious about the near-term consumer spending environment, we feel good about the strength in home remodel trends as well as the demand for hard-surface flooring over the medium to long term. We remain committed to investing in our six strategic pillars that will position us for long-term growth. Our balance sheet is strong. We had total liquidity of $187 million at the end of the second quarter. During the second quarter, we repurchased $7 million under the share repurchase authorization approved by the Board earlier this year, underscoring our confidence in our long-term net sales and profitability growth.”

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

●

Net sales of $299.0 million decreased $2.4 million, or 0.8%, from the second quarter of 2021. The Company reported record sales to Pro customers, which partially offset a decrease in sales to consumers and a 1.1% decrease in net services sales

●

Comparable store sales decreased 3.1% from the second quarter of 2021, but increased 28.2% on a two-year stack basis and 6.9% on a three-year stack basis. The year-over-year decrease in comparable store sales primarily reflected the same drivers as the change in net sales

●

Gross margin of 35.7% decreased 170 basis points as a percentage of sales compared to the same period last year; adjusted gross margin¹ of 36.1% decreased 130 basis points as a percentage of sales compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting significantly higher material and transportation costs (collectively up more than 1,000 basis points) that the Company was able to partially mitigate through pricing, promotion and alternative country/vendor sourcing strategies

●

SG&A as a percentage of net sales of 34.1% increased 220 basis points compared to the second quarter of last year; adjusted SG&A¹ as a percentage of net sales of 34.1% increased 230 basis points compared to the second quarter of last year, primarily driven by investments to support the Company’s long-term growth, higher advertising expense due to the timing of promotions, and continued investment in customer facing and distribution center personnel

●

Operating margin of 1.6% decreased 390 basis points compared to the second quarter of last year; adjusted operating margin¹ of 2.0% decreased 360 basis points compared to the second quarter of last year, primarily reflecting increased SG&A as a percent of net sales and lower gross margin
