ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:FND) (“We,” the “Company,” or “Floor & Decor”) announces its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, which ended September 28, 2017.

Tom Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased to report a strong third quarter that continues to demonstrate the strength and appeal of Floor & Decor’s unique business model highlighted by our leading innovative product offerings, in-stock inventory, and compelling value proposition. Our third quarter comparable same store sales continued to perform above our expectations at 13.5% despite experiencing over 150 days of full or partial store closures as a result of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Prior to these hurricanes, our comparable same store sales were 15.9% through the first two months of the quarter, but as a result of the store closures our comparable same store sales slowed to 9.9% for the month of September. Due to our third quarter results coming in above our projections and a very strong start to the fourth quarter, we are raising our full year sales and earnings guidance. We also successfully opened seven new stores, our most ever in one quarter, despite the disruption from the hurricanes and we are pleased with how our new stores are performing.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “I also want to address the devastation the recent hurricanes have had on so many families and communities across the U.S. In particular I want to thank first responders and our associates who are helping in the recovery efforts, many of whom were also personally impacted. It’s remarkable to see the response and willingness from everyone to help others during devastating events like these. We are committed to continue to serve our communities.”

Unless indicated otherwise, the information in this release has been adjusted to give effect to a 321.820-for-one stock split of our common stock effected on April 24, 2017. See “Comparable Store Sales” below for information on how the Company calculates its comparable store sales growth.

Comparable Store Sales

‘‘Comparable store sales’’ includes net sales from the Company’s stores beginning on the first day of the thirteenth full fiscal month following the store’s opening. Because the Company’s e-commerce sales are fulfilled by individual stores, they are included in comparable store sales only to the extent such fulfilling store meets the above mentioned store criteria.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which are shown in the reconciliations below) have been presented in this earnings release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We define Adjusted net income as net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and the tax effect related to those items. We define Adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding (i.e., the weighted average shares outstanding during the relevant period plus the weighted average impact of issuing shares in our initial public offering (our “IPO”)). 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. Reconciliations of these measures to the equivalent measures under GAAP are set forth in the tables below.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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, 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. Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as performance measures to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of our financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or diluted EPS 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, Adjusted net income, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, such as stock compensation expense, loss (gain) on asset disposal, executive recruiting/relocation, and other adjustments. Our presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, 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 Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differ among companies in the retail industry, and therefore Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.

Please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
