We offer a broad in-stock assortment of tile, wood, laminate/ luxury vinyl plank, and natural stone flooring along with decorative and installation accessories at everyday low prices.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31st. Fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) includes 53 weeks, and the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”) included 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 each quarter of the fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 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 26, 2019 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 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).

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 26, 2020 and March 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full years.

Impact of the Novel Coronavirus

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections of the coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business remains highly uncertain, the Company currently anticipates that disruptions resulting from the pandemic will have a material negative impact on its sales and results of operations, financial position, and cash flows in fiscal 2020.

​

While these potential negative effects will not be fully reflected in the Company’s results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods, the Company has already experienced an impact to its operating results related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, beginning on March 17, 2020 and continuing through the date we filed this report, the Company has closed some of its stores, and then on March 21, 2020, shifted its remaining stores to a curbside pickup model in the jurisdictions where government regulations permit such stores to continue to operate and where the customer demand makes such operations sustainable. From March 21, 2020 through March 26, 2020, the six days during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in which the Company’s stores were limited to curbside operations, the Company experienced a 46% decline in comparable store sales* compared to the same period in the prior year, which is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2020. See Note 8, “Subsequent Events” for additional information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations.

​

*Comparable store sales refer to period-over-period comparisons of our net sales among the comparable store base. A store is included in the comparable store base on the first day of the thirteenth full fiscal month following its opening.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

​

Other than as noted below, there have been no updates to our Significant Accounting Policies since the Annual Report. For more 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.

Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

​

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. We assess the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, the Company evaluates various market and other factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have been impaired. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers the carrying value of its single reporting unit compared to its fair value as well as events and changes in circumstances that could include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, and significant adverse changes in the price of the Company’s common stock. If such qualitative assessment indicates that impairment may have occurred, an additional quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to their respective estimated fair values. If the recorded carrying value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to write the asset down to its estimated fair value.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and the markets in which it operates, the Company qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of March 26, 2020. Based on this interim impairment assessment as of March 26, 2020, the Company determined that its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new guidance will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-03, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an 'incurred loss' method to an 'expected loss' method. The amended guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectability of the related financial asset. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden of reference rate reform, including the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The new guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, by which time the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has yet to elect an adoption date.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
