Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1: Background

Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings,” and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2012.

The Company is a specialty retailer of natural stone and man-made tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. The Company manufactures its own setting and maintenance materials, such as thinset, grout, and sealers. The Company’s primary market is retail sales to consumers, contractors, designers and home builders. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 143 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia, with an average size of approximately 20,000 square feet. The Company has distribution centers located in Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wisconsin. The Company also has a sourcing office located in China.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature, including the elimination of all intercompany transactions. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in such Form 10-K.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Specifically, the Company elected to change the way it presents cash flows from operating leases in its Statement of Cash Flows. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company presented the net change in the right of use asset and lease liabilities as other, net within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined it would be more appropriate to disaggregate this activity. The amortization of the right of use assets is now presented as a non-cash lease expense within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows. Lease payments, net of the accretion of lease liabilities, are now presented as a change in accrued expenses and other liabilities within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows.

The impact of this change on the Statement of Cash Flows presented as of June 30, 2020 follows:


(in thousands)		Previously Reported		Adjustments		As Revised
Change in leases	$	3,276	$	(3,276)	$	-
Non-cash lease expense	$	-	$	12,353	$	12,353
Changes in operating assets and liabilities:
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	4,037	$	(9,077)	$	(5,040)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	40,988	$	-	$	40,988

The change in classification had no impact on the Company’s pretax earnings, earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or balance sheets in any period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. COVID-19 has negatively impacted public health and the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created volatility in financial markets. The continuing implications of COVID-19 on the Company remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic and the effects of new variants of COVID-19, some of which may be more virulent or transmissible than the initial strain; its impact on the Company’s employees, customers and suppliers; the range and timing of government mandated restrictions and other measures; and the success of the deployment and widespread adoption of approved COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness against new variants of COVID-19. This uncertainty could have a material impact on the

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

accounting estimates and assumptions utilized to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods, which could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company adopted new accounting requirements related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The new standard and subsequent amendments replaced the incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents its estimate of expected credit losses related to its trade receivables. To estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company leverages information on historical losses, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the Company deems the amount is uncollectible. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that simplifies accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the new standard simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance providing optional expedients and exceptions to account for the effects of reference rate reform to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The optional guidance is effective as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Revenues

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

The following table presents revenues disaggregated by product category:



	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Man-made tiles	48	%	47	%	47	%	46	%
Natural stone tiles	28		28		29		29
Setting and maintenance materials	14		14		14		14
Accessories	7		9		8		9
Delivery service	3		2		2		2
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%

The Company generates revenues by selling tile products, setting and maintenance materials, accessories, and delivery services to its customers through its store locations and online. The timing of revenue recognition coincides with the transfer of control of goods and services ordered by the customer, which falls into one of three categories described below:

Revenue recognized when an order is placed – If a customer places an order in a store and the contents of their order are available, the Company recognizes revenue concurrent with the exchange of goods for consideration from the customer.

Revenue recognized when an order is picked up – If a customer places an order for items held in a centralized distribution center, the Company requests a deposit from the customer at the time they place the order. Subsequently, when the contents of the customer’s order are delivered to the store, the customer returns to the store and picks up the items that were ordered. The Company recognizes revenue on this transaction when the customer picks up their order.

Table of Contents

Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(unaudited)

Revenue recognized when an order is delivered – If a customer places an order in a store and requests delivery of their order, the Company prepares the contents of their order, initiates the delivery service, and recognizes revenue once the contents of the customer’s order are delivered.

The Company determines the transaction price of its contracts based on the pricing established at the time a customer places an order. The transaction price does not include sales tax as the Company is a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax. Any discounts applied to an order are allocated proportionately to the base price of the goods and services ordered. Deposits made by customers are recorded in other accrued liabilities. Deferred revenues associated with customer deposits are recognized at the time the Company transfers control of the items ordered or renders the delivery service. In the event an order is partially fulfilled as of the end of a reporting period, revenue will be recognized based on the transaction price allocated to the goods delivered and services rendered. The customer deposit balance was $16.5 million and $12.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that were included in the customer deposit balance as of the beginning of the period were $11.6 million.

The Company extends financing to qualified professional customers who apply for credit. Customers who qualify for an account receive 30-day payment terms. The accounts receivable balance was $3.3 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company expects that the customer will pay for the goods and services ordered within one year from the date the order is placed. Accordingly, the Company qualifies for the practical expedient outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the financing component.

Customers may return purchased items for an exchange or refund. The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns based on the historical returns trends and the current product sales performance. The Company presents the sales returns reserve as an other accrued liability and the estimated value of the inventory that will be returned as an other current asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The components of the sales returns reserve reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:


	(in thousands)
	June 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Other accrued liabilities	$	5,709	$	4,957
Other current assets		1,735		1,516
Sales returns reserve, net	$	3,974	$	3,441

Note 3: Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the moving average cost method) or net realizable value. Inventories consist primarily of merchandise held for sale. Inventories were comprised of the following as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:



	(in thousands)
	June 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Finished goods	$	67,410	$	72,619
Raw materials		1,523		1,677
Total	$	68,933	$	74,296

The Company provides provisions for losses related to shrinkage and other amounts that are otherwise not expected to be fully recoverable. These provisions are calculated based on historical shrinkage, selling price, margin and current business trends. The provision for losses related to shrinkage and other amounts was $0.6 million on both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 4: Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate on net income before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 26.4% and 67.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 24.1% and 551.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included adjustments resulting from the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), which gave the Company the

ability to carry back federal net operating losses to years with a federal statutory rate of 35%. The Company’s effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2021 included a $0.3 million tax benefit associated with restricted stock award vestings.

The Company records interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions, nor had interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions been accrued.

Note 5: Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after taking into consideration all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period.

Note 7: Long-term Debt

On September 18, 2018, Holdings and its operating subsidiary, The Tile Shop, LLC, entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Fifth Third Bank and Citizens Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior credit facility consisting of a $100.0 million revolving line of credit through September 18, 2023. Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement initially bear interest at a LIBOR or base rate. The LIBOR-based rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% depending on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio. The base rate is equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Bank of America “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus 0.50% to 1.25% depending on the Company’s rent adjusted leverage ratio. At June 30, 2021, the base interest rate was 4.00% and the LIBOR-based interest rate was 1.84%. The Company had no borrowings outstanding on its revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has standby letters of credit outstanding related to its workers’ compensation and medical insurance policies. Standby letters of credit totaled $2.4 million as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There was $97.6 million available for borrowing on the revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2021, which may be used to support the Company’s growth and for working capital purposes.

The Credit Agreement is secured by virtually all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to, inventory, receivables, equipment and real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, conditions to borrowings, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, incur additional debt, incur liens, or make investments. The Credit Agreement also includes financial and other covenants, including covenants to maintain certain fixed charge coverage ratios and consolidated total rent adjusted leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2021.

Note 8: Leases

The Company leases its retail stores, certain distribution space, and office space. Leases generally have a term of ten to fifteen years, and contain renewal options. Assets acquired under operating leases are included in the Company’s right of use assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the original lease term, the renewal term if the lease renewal is reasonably certain or the useful life of the improvement.

Following the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, the Company worked with its landlords to defer rent payments for many of its retail locations throughout the second quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the deferred rent balance was $2.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid $1.6 million of the deferred rent balance to its landlords. As of June 30, 2021, the deferred rent balance was $0.5 million. The deferred rent balance is recorded as a liability within the current portion of lease liability balance.

Note 9: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, the Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 according to the valuation techniques the Company uses to determine their fair values. There have been no transfers of assets among the fair value hierarchies presented.



	Pricing	Fair Value at

Assets		(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	Level 1	$	44,750	$	9,617
Restricted cash	Level 1		655		655

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used by the Company to value the Company’s financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: Consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. The value was measured using quoted market prices in active markets. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

(unaudited)

Restricted cash: Consists of cash and cash equivalents held in bank deposit accounts restricted as to withdrawal or that are under the terms of use for current operations. The value was measured using quoted market prices in active markets. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Fair value measurements also apply to certain non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets are measured at fair value when an impairment is recognized and the related assets are written down to fair value. No impairment charges were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $2.2 million charge in selling, general and administrative expenses to write-down property, plant, and equipment and right of use assets to their estimated fair values. The Company measured the fair value of these assets based on projected cash flows, an estimated risk-adjusted rate of return, and market rental rates for comparable properties. Projected cash flows are considered Level 3 inputs. Market rental rates for comparable properties are considered Level 2 inputs.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $1.1 million adjustment to reflect an increase in the fair value to restore leased property to its original condition at the end of the lease. The change in the estimated value of the Company’s asset retirement obligation resulted in a $1.1 million increase in property, plant and equipment, a $0.1 million increase in other current liabilities, and a $1.0 million increase in other long-term liabilities. The Company measured the fair value of its asset retirement obligation based on the estimated amounts and timing of settlements, an estimated risk adjusted rate of return, and expected inflation rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Note 10: Equity Incentive Plans

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 20, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan replaced 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (the “Prior Plan”). No new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan after the date of the Annual Meeting. However, the Company granted equity awards under the Prior Plan to the Company’s non-employee directors on the date of the Annual Meeting, and all awards granted under the Prior Plan that were outstanding on the date of stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The maximum number of shares that may be delivered with respect to awards under the 2021 Plan is 3,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Shares tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to cover tax withholding will not be added back to the number of shares available under the 2021 Plan. To the extent that any award under the 2021 Plan, or any award granted under the Prior Plan prior to stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan, is forfeited, canceled, surrendered or otherwise terminated without the issuance of shares or an award is settled only in cash, the shares subject to such awards granted but not delivered will be added to the number of shares available for awards under the 2021 Plan.

Stock options:

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock based awards at fair value. The financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 include compensation expense for the portion of outstanding awards that vested during those periods. The Company recognizes stock based compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Total stock based compensation expense related to stock options was $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Total stock based compensation expense related to stock options was $0.2 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Stock based compensation expense pertaining to stock options is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding stock options to purchase 1,001,695 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $10.96.

Restricted stock:

The Company awards restricted common shares to selected employees and to non-employee directors. Recipients are not required to provide any consideration upon vesting of the award. Restricted stock awards are subject to certain restrictions on transfer, and all or part of the shares awarded may be subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events, including employment termination. Certain awards are also subject to forfeiture if the Company fails to attain certain performance targets. The restricted stock is valued at its grant date fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or the vesting term of the awards. The Company adjusts the cumulative expense recognized on awards with performance conditions based on the probability of achieving the performance condition. Total stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively. Total stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock was $1.1 million and

$0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock based compensation expense pertaining to restricted stock awards is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 1,640,563 outstanding restricted common shares.

Note 11: New Markets Tax Credit

2016 New Markets Tax Credit

In December 2016, the Company entered into a financing transaction with U.S. Bank Community, LLC (“U.S. Bank”) related to a $9.2 million expansion of the Company’s facility in Durant, Oklahoma. U.S. Bank made a capital contribution to, and Tile Shop Lending, Inc. (“Tile Shop Lending”) made a loan to, Twain Investment Fund 192 LLC (the “Investment Fund”) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program. The NMTC program was provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the “Act”) and is intended to induce capital investment in qualified lower income communities. The Act permits taxpayers to claim credits against their federal income taxes for up to 39% of qualified investments in the equity of community development entities (“CDEs”). CDEs are privately managed investment institutions that are certified to make qualified low-income community investments.

In this transaction, Tile Shop Lending loaned $6.7 million to the Investment Fund at an interest rate of 1.37% per year and with a maturity date of December 31, 2046. The Investment Fund then contributed the loan to a CDE, which, in turn, loaned the funds on similar terms to Tile Shop of Oklahoma, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. The proceeds of the loans from the CDEs (including loans representing the capital contribution made by U.S. Bank, net of syndication fees) were used to partially fund the distribution center project.

In December 2016, U.S. Bank contributed $3.2 million to the Investment Fund and, by virtue of such contribution, is entitled to substantially all of the tax benefits derived from the NMTC, while the Company effectively received net loan proceeds equal to U.S. Bank’s contributions to the Investment Fund. This transaction includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase U.S. Bank’s interest. The Company believes that U.S. Bank will exercise the put option in December 2023 at the end of the recapture period. The value attributed to the put/call is de minimis. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is required to be in compliance with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, could require the Company to indemnify U.S. Bank for any loss or recapture of NMTCs related to the financing until such time as the obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The Company does not anticipate any credit recaptures will be required in connection with this arrangement.

The Company has determined that the financing arrangement with the Investment Fund and CDEs constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The ongoing activities of the Investment Fund – collecting and remitting interest and fees and NMTC compliance – were all considered in the initial design and are not expected to significantly affect economic performance throughout the life of the Investment Fund. Management considered the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide various other guarantees to the structure; U.S. Bank’s lack of a material interest in the underlying economics of the project; and the fact that the Company is obligated to absorb losses of the Investment Fund. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidated the Investment Fund, as a VIE, in accordance with the accounting standards for consolidation. In 2016, U.S. Bank’s contributions of $3.2 million, net of syndication fees, were included in cash, restricted cash, other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company incurred $1.3 million of syndication fees in connection with this transaction, which were classified as other current assets and other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is recognizing the benefit of this net $1.9 million contribution over the seven-year compliance period as it is being earned through the on-going compliance with the conditions of the NMTC program. As of June 30, 2021, the balance of the contribution liability for this arrangement was $1.1 million, of which $0.5 million was classified as other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and $0.6 million was classified as other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company is able to request reimbursement for certain expenditures made in connection with the expansion of the distribution center in Durant, Oklahoma from the Investment Fund. Expenditures that qualify for reimbursement include building costs, equipment purchases, and other expenditures tied to the expansion of the facility. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining balance in the Investment Fund available for reimbursement to the Company was $0.7 million.

Note 12: Related Party Transactions

On July 9, 2018, Fumitake Nishi, a former Company employee and the brother-in-law of Robert A. Rucker, the Company’s former Interim Chief Executive Officer and President, former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and former holder of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2021, informed the Company he had reacquired a majority of the equity of one of its key vendors, Nanyang Helin Stone Co. Ltd (“Nanyang”). Mr. Nishi also has an ownership interest in Tilestyling Co. Ltd (“Tile Style”), a vendor from which the Company started acquiring product in 2020. Nanyang and Tile Style supply the Company with natural stone products, including hand-crafted mosaics, listellos and other accessories. The Company paid $7.6 million to Nanyang in connection with purchases made during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased $1.4 million and $3.3 million of products from Nanyang, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there were no accounts payable due to Nanyang. The Company paid $0.7 million to Tile Style in connection with purchases made during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased $0.5 million and $1.0 million of products from Tile Style, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there were no accounts payable due to Tile Style. Mr. Nishi’s employment with the Company was terminated on January 1, 2014 as a result of several violations of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics policy. Certain of those violations involved his undisclosed ownership of Nanyang at that time.

Management and the Audit Committee have evaluated these relationships and determined that it would be in the Company’s best interests to continue purchasing products from Nanyang and to begin purchasing products from Tile Style. The Company believes Nanyang and Tile Style each provide an important combination of quality, product availability and pricing, and relying solely on other vendors to supply similar product to the Company would not be in the Company’s best interests. The Company and the Audit Committee will continue to review future purchases from Nanyang and Tile Style and compare the pricing for products purchased from each of Nanyang and Tile Style to the pricing of same or similar products purchased from unrelated vendors.

Overview and Recent Trends

We are a specialty retailer of natural stone and man-made tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. We offer a wide selection of products, attractive prices, and exceptional customer service in an extensive showroom setting. As of June 30, 2021, we operated 143 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia, with an average size of approximately 20,000 square feet.

Table of Contents

We purchase our tile products and accessories directly from suppliers and manufacture our own setting and maintenance materials, such as thinset, grout, and sealers. We believe that our long-term supplier relationships, together with our design, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, enable us to offer a broad assortment of high-quality products to our customers, who are primarily homeowners and professionals, at competitive prices. We have invested significant resources to develop our proprietary brands and product sources, and we believe that we are a leading retailer of natural stone and man-made tiles, accessories, and related materials in the United States.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

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

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

We continued to experience elevated levels of product outages during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, which were partially due to vendor production delays and global shipping capacity constraints resulting, in part, from the impact of COVID-19. We continue to actively work with our vendors to secure delivery of backordered product.

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

June 2021 Quarter Financial Overview

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported net sales of $96.2 million and $67.7 million, respectively. The sales results during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were adversely impacted by the onset of COVID-19 in the United States and the shelter in place restrictions implemented by many state and local governments in response to the pandemic. This resulted in store closures, reduced store hours, lower levels of traffic and an overall decrease in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Over the last 12 months, we have seen restrictions ease, the rollout of vaccinations in the United States, and strong demand trends for home improvement products. These factors, combined with the execution of the Company’s strategy, have helped drive improvements in traffic, average ticket and overall sales.

Comparable store sales growth (decline)	41.6	%	(24.7)	%	16.0	%	(9.2)	%

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported gross profit of $66.4 million and $45.4 million, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in sales. The gross margin rate was 69.1% and 67.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by better pricing and an improvement in customer delivery collection rates, partially offset by a higher mix of freight delivery services, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported income (loss) from operations of $7.6 million and $(1.8) million, respectively. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to the improvement in sales and gross margin rates. These factors were partially offset by an $11.6 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which was primarily due to an increase in variable selling costs.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $42.0 million and $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Key Components of our Consolidated Statements of Operations

Net Sales – Net sales represents total charges to customers, net of returns, and includes freight charged to customers. We recognize sales at the time that the customer takes control of the merchandise or final delivery of the product has occurred. We are required to charge and collect sales and other taxes on sales to our customers and remit these taxes back to government authorities. Total revenues do not include sales tax because we are a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax. Sales are reduced by a reserve for anticipated sales returns that we estimate based on historical returns.

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

Cost of Sales – Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, freight, customs and duties fees, and storage and delivery of product to the customers, as well as physical inventory losses and costs associated with manufacturing of setting and maintenance materials.

Gross Profit – Gross profit is net sales less cost of sales. Gross margin rate is the percentage determined by dividing gross profit by

net sales.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, occupancy, utilities, maintenance costs, advertising costs, shipping and transportation expenses to move inventory from our distribution centers to our stores, and depreciation and amortization.

Income Taxes – We are subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Net Sales Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 increased $28.5 million, or 42.0%, compared with the second quarter of 2020. The sales results during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were adversely impacted by the onset of COVID-19 in the United States and the shelter in place restrictions implemented by many state and local governments in response to the pandemic. This resulted in store closures, reduced store hours, lower levels of traffic and an overall decrease in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Over the last 12 months, we have seen restrictions ease, the rollout of vaccinations in the United States, and strong demand trends for home improvement products. These factors, combined with the execution of the Company’s strategy, have helped drive improvements in traffic, average ticket and overall sales, resulting in a 41.6% increase in sales at comparable stores.

Gross Profit Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased $21.0 million, or 46.3%, compared with the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in sales. The gross margin rate was 69.1% and 67.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by better pricing and an improvement in customer delivery collection rates, partially offset by a higher mix of freight delivery services during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased $11.6 million, or 24.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was largely due to a $6.2 million increase in variable selling expenses, a $1.5 million increase in transportation costs, a $1.5 million increase in wages largely due to an increase in headcount, a $0.9 million increase in consulting and temporary labor costs, and a $0.5 million increase in marketing expenses.

Interest Expense Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was due to the decrease in outstanding debt during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes Provision for income taxes increased $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared with the second quarter of 2020. The increase in the provision for income tax was largely due to the increase in income before taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 26.4% and 67.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included adjustments resulting from the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which gave the Company the ability to carry back federal net operating losses to years with a federal statutory rate of 35%.

Net Sales Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $26.3 million, or 16.2%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The sales results during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were adversely impacted by the onset of COVID-19 in the United States and the shelter in place restrictions implemented by many state and local governments in response to the pandemic. This resulted in store closures, reduced store hours, lower levels of traffic and an overall decrease in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Gross Profit Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $20.2 million, or 18.3%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The gross margin rate was 69.4% and 68.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by better pricing and an improvement in customer delivery collection rates during the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $6.5 million, or 6.0%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a $5.8 million increase in variable selling costs, a $1.6 million increase in transportation costs and a $1.0 million increase in advertising expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $2.2 million of asset impairment charges and $1.4 million of legal costs incurred in connection with shareholder litigation in SG&A expenses. The Company did not record any asset impairment charges or incur any legal costs in connection with shareholder litigation during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest Expense Interest expense was $0.3 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was due to the decrease in outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes Provision for income taxes increased $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 24.1% and 551.7%, respectively. The tax benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the change in the effective tax rate was primarily due the enactment of the CARES Act, which gave the Company the ability to carry back federal net operating losses to years with a federal statutory tax rate of 35%. The Company’s effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2021 included a $0.3 million tax benefit associated with restricted stock award vestings.

Non-GAAP Measures

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We calculate pretax return on capital employed by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and pretax return on capital employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

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

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

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements have been for working capital and capital expenditures. Our principal sources of liquidity are $44.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021, our cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement. We expect to use this liquidity for purchasing additional merchandise inventory, maintaining our existing stores, and general corporate purposes.

On September 18, 2018, Holdings and its operating subsidiary, The Tile Shop, LLC, entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Fifth Third Bank and Citizens Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides us with a senior credit facility consisting of a $100.0 million revolving line of credit through September 18, 2023. Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement initially bear interest at a LIBOR or base rate. The LIBOR-based rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% depending on our rent adjusted leverage ratio. The base rate is equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Bank of America “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus 0.50% to 1.25% depending on our rent adjusted leverage ratio. At June 30, 2021, the base interest rate was 4.00% and the LIBOR-based interest rate was 1.84%. We did not have any borrowings outstanding on our revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2021. In addition, we have standby letters of credit outstanding related to our workers’ compensation and medical insurance policies. Standby letters of credit totaled $2.4 million as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There was $97.6 million available for borrowing on the revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2021, which may be used to support our growth and for working capital purposes.

The Credit Agreement is secured by virtually all of our assets, including but not limited to, inventory, receivables, equipment and real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, conditions to borrowings, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, incur additional debt, incur liens, or make investments. The Credit Agreement also includes financial and other covenants, including covenants to maintain certain fixed charge coverage ratios and consolidated total rent adjusted leverage ratios. We were in compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2021.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund our operations and anticipated capital expenditures over at least the next twelve months. However, the worldwide economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity. In the event of a sustained market deterioration and declines in net sales, profit and operating cash flow, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $6.2 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures in 2021 was due to investments in one new store, one store relocation, store remodels, merchandising and information technology assets.

Cash flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow data for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	41,985	$	40,988
Net cash used in investing activities		(6,157)		(929)
Net cash used in financing activities		(706)		(41,217)

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $42.0 million compared with $41.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net income that was partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by the change in inventory.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due to an increase in capital expenditures during 2021 to invest in one new store, one store relocation, store remodels, merchandising and information technology assets.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in cash used in financing activities during the second quarter of 2021 was due to a decrease in debt payments.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $44.8 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $9.6 million at December 31, 2020. Working capital was $46.1 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $27.9 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in working capital during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as such term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that could have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted new accounting requirements related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The new standard and subsequent amendments replaced the incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. Our allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of expected credit losses related to our trade receivables. To estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts, we leverage information on historical losses, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance when we deem the amount is uncollectible. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted a new accounting standard that simplifies accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the new standard simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

On January 1, 2019, we implemented an ERP system on a company-wide basis. As previously disclosed, during the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified two material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that arose from the new ERP system implementation. The two material weaknesses are:

The ineffective design and implementation of effective controls with respect to the ERP system conversion. Specifically, we did not exercise sufficient corporate governance and oversight, design effective controls over the ERP implementation to ensure appropriate data conversion and data integrity, or provide sufficient end-user training to our employees to ensure that our employees could effectively operate the system and carry out their responsibilities.

The ineffective design and implementation of IT general controls (“ITGCs”) for the ERP system that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not (i) maintain adequate control over user access to the ERP system to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to restrict access to financial applications and data; and (ii) maintain adequate documentation practices surrounding management and control of IT changes affecting financial IT applications. Our business process controls (automated and manual) are dependent on the affected ITGCs and, therefore, are also deemed ineffective because they are adversely impacted by the ineffective ITGCs.

Planned Remediation of Material Weaknesses

We have adjusted, and intend to consider further adjustments to, our previously disclosed plans relating to addressing these material weaknesses. We have taken steps to strengthen our change management procedures and performed a project to segregate responsibilities from users with access to our ERP system. The identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until controls have been designed and are in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluations of internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as set forth above under “Planned Remediation of Material Weaknesses”.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, party to lawsuits, threatened lawsuits, disputes and other claims arising in the normal course of business. We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we do not record an accrual, consistent with applicable accounting guidance. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted

Table of Contents

with certainty, our ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, and the amounts accrued for any individual matter are not material. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that particular period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Disclosures of risks should not be interpreted to imply that the risks have not already materialized. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present a risk to our business, and the impacts from COVID-19, including supply chain disruptions, could exacerbate other risks discussed in Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. This situation is continuously evolving, and additional impacts may arise of which we are not currently aware.
