Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

March 29, 2018

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a highly differentiated, rapidly growing specialty retailer of hard surface flooring and related accessories. We offer a broad in stock assortment of tile, wood, laminate and natural stone flooring along with decorative and installation accessories at everyday low prices. Our stores 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 (“Buy it Yourself” or “BIY”). We operate within one reportable segment.

As of March 29, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Floor and Decor Outlets of America, Inc. (“F&D”), operates 84 warehouse-format stores, which average 73,000 square feet, and one small-format standalone design center in 21 states, as well as three distribution centers and an e-commerce site, FloorandDecor.com.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31st. Fiscal years ended December 27, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”) and December 28, 2017 (“fiscal 2017”) include 52 weeks. When a 53-week fiscal year occurs, we report the additional week at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter. 52-week fiscal years consist of thirteen-week periods in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our 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 28, 2017 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 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 5, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). Unless indicated otherwise, the information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) has been adjusted to give effect to a 321.820-for-one stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which was approved by the Company’s board of directors and shareholders on April 13, 2017 and effected on April 24, 2017. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

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 29, 2018 and March 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue and the related cost of sales when we satisfy the performance obligations in contracts with our customers. Our performance obligations for our retail store sales as well as for orders placed through our website and shipped to our customers are satisfied at the point-of-sale, which is the point at which the customer obtains control of the inventory as described under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts

7


 

Table of Contents

with Customers” (Topic 606). Shipping and handling activities are performed after the customer obtains control of the goods and are accounted for as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods, rather than a separate performance obligation as outlined within Topic 606. Payment is due from the customer immediately at the point-of-sale for both retail store sales and website sales. The nature of the goods offered include hard surface flooring and related accessories. We do not perform installation services, and we offer free design services in-store. The transaction price recognized in revenues represents the selling price of the products offered. Sales taxes collected are not recognized as revenue as these amounts are ultimately remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.

Our customers have the right to return the goods sold to them within a reasonable period, typically ninety days. The right of return is an element of variable consideration as defined with Topic 606. We reserve for future returns of previously sold goods based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. This reserve reduces sales and cost of sales as well as establishes a return asset and refund liability. The return asset is included within Inventories, net and the refund liability is included within Accrued Expenses, each respectively on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Merchandise exchanges of similar product and price are not considered merchandise returns and, therefore, are excluded when calculating the sales returns reserve.

Gift Cards and Merchandise Credits

We sell gift cards to our customers in our stores and through our website and issue merchandise credits in our stores. We account for the programs by recognizing a liability at the time the gift card is sold or the merchandise credit is issued. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized upon redemption. Additionally, we recognize breakage income in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when we expect to be entitled to breakage. Net sales related to the estimated breakage are included in net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We have an agreement with an unrelated third-party who is the issuer of our gift cards and also assumes the liability for unredeemed gift cards. We are not subject to claims under unclaimed property statutes, as the agreement effectively transfers the ownership of such unredeemed gift cards and the related future escheatment liability, if any, to the third-party. Accordingly, in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 and March 30, 2017, gift card breakage income of $258 thousand and $166 thousand, respectively was recognized in net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, respectively, for such unredeemed gift cards.

There have been no other additional updates to our Significant Accounting Policies since the Annual Report. For information regarding our Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates, see the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” section of “Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no updates to Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements since the Annual Report. For information regarding Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” section of “Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." This standard update requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. ASU No. 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The standard update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU No. 2014-09 provided new guidance related to the core principle that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services provided. We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, effective December 29, 2017. Under the new guidance, we recognize revenue at the time the customer obtains control of the inventory. The cumulative adjustment upon adoption primarily resulted in a reduction of deferred revenue and related inventories and an increase to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

2. Revenues

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

On December 29, 2017, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of December 29, 2017. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 29, 2017 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).

We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $7.8 million, net of tax, as of December 29, 2017 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to transactions for which we allow customers to store their merchandise at our retail stores for final delivery at a later date. The cumulative adjustment primarily resulted in a reduction of deferred revenue and related inventories and an increase to retained earnings. The impact to revenues as a result of applying Topic 606 was immaterial for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018.

Deferred Revenue

Under Topic 605 we recognized revenue for certain transactions for which we allow customers to store their merchandise at our retail stores for final delivery at a later date when both collection or reasonable assurance of collection of payment and final delivery of the product had occurred. Under Topic 605, the amount of revenue for which final delivery of the product had not occurred for these transactions was reflected in the Deferred revenue caption on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2017. Under Topic 606, we evaluated the bill-and-hold criteria and recognize revenue at the point-of-sale, when the customer obtains control of the inventory. Amounts in Deferred revenue at period-end reflect orders for which the inventory is not currently ready for physical transfer to the customer.

Gift Card Breakage

Under Topic 605, gift card breakage income is recognized based upon historical redemption patterns. Under Topic 606, gift card breakage income is recognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when we expect to be entitled to breakage. The timing and amounts of revenue related to gift card breakage income in the cumulative transition adjustment, and for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 were immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

We estimate fair values in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures required about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Additionally, ASC 820 defines levels within a hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.

·

Level 1—Inputs that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable

·

Level 3—Inputs that are non‑observable that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions

Our derivative contracts are negotiated with counterparties without going through a public exchange. Accordingly, our fair value assessments give consideration to the risk of counterparty default (as well as our own credit risk). Our interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate cap contracts and are valued primarily based on data readily observable in public markets.

4. Derivatives and Risk Management

Changes in interest rates impact our results of operations. In an effort to manage our exposure to this risk, we enter into derivative contracts and may adjust our derivative portfolio as market conditions change.

Designated as Cash Flow Hedge

For derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative 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.

Not Designated as Accounting Hedge

For derivative contracts de-designated as accounting hedges, the change in the fair value is reflected through earnings. These changes in fair value are mark-to-market adjustments ("MTM adjustments"). MTM adjustments are defined as fair value changes recorded in periods other than the settlement period. Such fair value changes are not necessarily indicative of the actual settlement value of the underlying hedge in the contract settlement period. The AOCI related to the interest rate cap prior to the de-designation is being amortized over the remaining maturity period.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk from adverse changes in interest rates is primarily associated with our long‑term debt obligations, which carry variable interest rates. Market risk associated with our variable interest rate long‑term debt relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates.

In an effort to manage our exposure to the risk associated with our variable interest rate long‑term debt, we periodically enter into interest rate derivative contracts. We designate interest rate derivative contracts used to convert the interest rate exposure on a portion of our debt portfolio from a floating rate to a capped rate as cash flow hedges.

Credit Risk

To manage credit risk associated with our interest rate hedging program, we select counterparties based on their credit ratings and limit our exposure to any one counterparty.

The counterparties to our derivative contracts are large financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. To manage our credit risk related to our derivative financial instruments, we periodically monitor the credit risk of our counterparties, limit our exposure in the aggregate and to any single counterparty, and adjust our hedging position, as appropriate. The impact of credit risk, as well as the ability of each party to fulfill its obligations under our derivative financial instruments, is considered in determining the fair value of the contracts. Credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of our derivative contracts. We do not have any credit risk‑related contingent features or collateral requirements with our derivative financial instruments.

5. Debt

Fair Value of Debt

Market risk associated with our fixed and variable rate 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 our estimates of interest rates, maturities, credit risk, and underlying collateral and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. At March 29, 2018 and December 28, 2017, the fair values of our debt were as follows:

6. Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 8.2% and 35.5% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 and March 30, 2017, respectively. The lower effective rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 was primarily due to tax reform passed in December 2017 and the recognition of excess tax benefits related to stock options exercised.

Provisional amounts

In connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) passed in December 2017, we remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21% for federal income tax purposes and 3.6% currently estimated for state income tax purposes. We recorded a provisional amount of $17.9 million as of December 28, 2017 related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax

12


 

Table of Contents

balances, and we have not made any adjustments to this provisional amount during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018. However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts.

 

The Act also subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, we are still evaluating the possible effects of the GILTI provisions and have not yet determined our accounting policy. At March 29, 2018, because we are still evaluating the GILTI provisions and our analysis of future taxable income that may be subject to GILTI, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate and have not reflected any adjustments related to GILTI in our financial statements.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

We lease our corporate office, retail locations and distribution centers through F&D, under long‑term operating lease agreements that expire in various years through 2038. Additionally, certain equipment is leased under short‑term operating leases.

Certain lease agreements include escalating rents over the lease terms. We expense rent on a straight‑line basis over the life of the lease, which commences on the date we have the right to control the property. The cumulative expense recognized on a straight‑line basis in excess of the cumulative payments is included in deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets. Future minimum lease payments under non‑cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of March 29, 2018, were:

Litigation

We are subject to other various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to breach of contracts, products liabilities, intellectual property matters and employment related matters resulting from its business activities. We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These proceedings are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

8. Earnings Per Share

Net Income per Common Share

We calculate 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 stock options.

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 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 28, 2017 and filed with the SEC on March 5, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). As used in this Quarterly Report, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “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 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. 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 and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. 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. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company’s business, the economy and other future conditions, including the impact of recent natural disasters on sales. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “seeks,” “intends,” “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 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;

·

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;

·

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;

Table of Contents

·

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;

·

our vulnerability to natural disasters and other unexpected events;

·

an overall decline in the health of the economy, the hard surface flooring industry, consumer spending, and the housing market; 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 84 warehouse format stores across 21 states as of March 29, 2018. We believe that we offer the industry’s broadest in stock assortment of tile, wood, laminate 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 (“Buy it Yourself” or “BIY”).

We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31. The following discussion contains references to the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, which ended on March 29, 2018 and March 30, 2017, respectively.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018, we continued to make long-term key strategic investments, including:

·

opening one new warehouse-format store ending with 84 warehouse-format stores;

·

focusing on innovative new products and localized assortments, supported by inspirational in-store and online visual merchandising solutions;

·

promoting key leaders in our regional staff to support our growing number of stores; and

·

investing capital in our stores, information technology and our connected customer strategies to continue enhancing and integrating the online and in-store shopping experience for our customers.

 

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,

Net Sales

Net sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 increased $95.7 million, or 31.1%, compared to the corresponding prior year period, which does not reflect $6.6M of prior year sales recognized through the opening balance sheet adjustment described in “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” included in Item 1 of this quarterly report. All of our product categories experienced comparable store sales increases during the period, driven by increases in laminate/luxury vinyl plank and installation materials and tools that were above our average for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018. Comparable store sales increased 15.6%, or $48.6 million and our non-comparable store sales contributed $40.5 million.  The increase in comparable store sales was largely driven by a 13.4% increase in comparable customer transactions and to a lesser extent a 1.9% increase in comparable average ticket growth. We estimate our same stores sales benefited by approximately 400 basis points from the continued recovery in the areas impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We believe the increase in net sales, customer transactions and average ticket are due to the execution of our key strategic investments and a growing U.S. flooring market. We believe our enhanced Pro, merchandising, connected customer, marketing and visual merchandising strategies, along with new innovative products led to our sales growth. Non-comparable store sales were driven by the opening of 12 new stores since March 30, 2017.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 increased $39.9 million, or 31.8%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase in gross profit was primarily the result of increased sales driven by comparable store sales increase of 15.6% and the opening of 12 new stores since March 30, 2017. Gross margin for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 increased approximately 20 basis points to 41.0% from 40.8% in the corresponding prior year period. This increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to approximately 10 basis points of lower distribution center costs and approximately 10 basis points due to lower inventory shrink and damage.

Selling and Store Operating Expenses

Selling and store operating expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 increased $21.8 million, or 27.0% compared to the corresponding prior year period, due primarily to the addition of 12 new stores since March 30, 2017. As a percentage of net sales, our selling and store operating expenses decreased approximately 80 basis points to 25.4%. Comparable store selling and store operating expenses as a percentage of comparable store sales decreased by approximately 160 basis points, as we leveraged occupancy, personnel and advertising expenses on higher net sales.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses, which are typically expenses incurred outside of our stores, during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 increased $5.5 million, or 30.5% compared to the corresponding prior year period, due to our continued investments in personnel for our regional and store support functions in support of our store growth. Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales remained flat compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Pre‑Opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 decreased $1.2 million, or 28.6% compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease is primarily the result of the cadence of our 2018 store openings, which are primarily in the second half of fiscal 2018. This resulted in a lower number of new stores opened or planned to be opened for which pre-opening expenses were incurred compared to the corresponding prior year period. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018, we opened one store as compared to opening three stores during the corresponding prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 decreased $3.6 million, or 67.0% compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lowering our average debt balance to $188.5 million during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 compared to an average debt balance of $384.0 million in the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in average total debt was primarily due to paying down approximately $192.0 million with net proceeds from our initial public offering during the fiscal second quarter of 2017. The decrease in our average interest rate to 3.8% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 from 5.6% for the corresponding prior year period also benefited interest expense.

Taxes

The provision for income taxes during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 decreased $3.3 million, or 53.5% compared to the corresponding prior year period. The effective tax rate was 8.2% compared to 35.5% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 compared to the corresponding prior year period, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of new tax reform legislation passed in December 2017 and to a lesser extent the recognition of excess tax benefits related to stock options exercised.

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 our 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 disposal, 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 reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods noted below are set forth in the table as follows:

(3) Other adjustments include amounts management does not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Amounts for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 primarily relate to losses from hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Amounts for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017 relate to costs in connection with our initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is provided primarily by our cash flows from operations and our $200 million asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). As of March 29, 2018, we had $160.9 million in unrestricted liquidity, consisting of $0.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $160.3 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. Our liquidity is not generally seasonal, and our uses of cash are primarily tied to when we open stores and make other capital expenditures. We believe that cash expected to be generated from operations and the availability of borrowings under the ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet liquidity requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and payments due under the ABL Facility and our $350 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Facility, our “Credit Facilities”) for at least the next 12 months.

The Term Loan Facility has no financial maintenance covenants. As of March 29, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facilities and no Event of Default (as defined in the credit agreements governing our Credit Facilities) had occurred.

Total capital expenditures in fiscal 2018 are planned to be between approximately $150 million to $158 million and will be funded primarily by cash generated from operations. We intend to make the following capital expenditures in fiscal 2018:

·

Open 17 stores and start construction on stores opening in early 2019 using approximately $91 million to $93 million of cash;

·

Invest in existing store remodeling projects and our distribution centers using approximately $34 million to $36 million of cash; and 

·

Invest in information technology infrastructure, e-commerce and other store support center initiatives using approximately $25 million to $29 million of cash.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we relocated much of the existing inventory from our currently leased distribution center near Miami, Florida to the newly leased distribution center near Savannah, Georgia and incurred related costs of approximately $0.3 million. We expect to incur an additional $0.3 million early in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for noncash items, including depreciation and amortization, write-off of deferred issuance costs on extinguishment of debt, stockbased compensation, deferred taxes and the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $40.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 and $56.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017. The net cash provided by operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 was primarily the result of an increase in net income and adjustments to net income driven by depreciation related to capital expenditures. This was slightly offset by reduced working capital requirements mainly associated with timing of inventory payments associated with Chinese New Year in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018. 

The net cash provided by operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017 was primarily the result of an increase in net income and improved working capital management with timing of inventory payments associated with Chinese New Year receipts in anticipation of factory closures.

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 vignettes and new design centers) and new infrastructure and information systems.

Capital expenditures during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 and March 30, 2017 were $27.8 million and $19.8 million, respectively. We continued our investment in new stores, as we opened one new store through March 29, 2018 and are preparing for an additional four stores to be opened during the second quarter. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018, approximately 63% of capital expenditures was for new stores, 27% was for existing stores and distribution centers, and the remainder of the spend was for information technology and e‑commerce investments to support our growth.

 For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017, approximately 48% of capital expenditures was for new stores, 44% was for existing store remodel and distribution center investments, and the remainder was for information technology and e‑commerce investments.

Net Cash Used In 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.

Net cash used in financing activities was $12.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 and $36.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017. The net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018 was primarily driven by a net paydown on the ABL Facility of $14.2 million, slightly offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3.2 million.

The net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017 was primarily driven by a net paydown on our ABL Facility of $35.5 million.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018.

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2018, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which describes recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet required to be adopted by us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 28, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The process of improving our internal controls has required and will continue to require us to expend significant resources to design, implement and maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. There can be no assurance that any actions we take will be completely successful. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis. As part of this process, we may identify specific internal controls as being deficient.

We have begun documenting and testing internal control procedures in order to comply with the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act. Section 404 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. We must comply with Section 404 no later than the time we file our annual report for fiscal 2018 with the SEC.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to products liabilities, intellectual property matters and employment related matters resulting from our business activities. As with most actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability cannot always be determined. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing us.
