Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Net sales grew 2% year over year to $1,129.7 million but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,136 million. Comparable store sales decreased 4.8%, reflecting softer demand tied to weaker existing home sales activity.
Gross margin stood at 43.5%, remaining in line with the year-ago quarter, as favorable product margins and disciplined pricing actions helped offset higher distribution center costs and the early impact of tariffs.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales, experiencing a deleverage of 80 basis points, reaching 38.9%. This was primarily attributed to new store openings and weaker comparable store sales, partly offset by lower preopening costs, with a modest impact from ongoing ERP implementation expenses.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, operating income amounted to $51.9 million, marking a 12.3% decline from the $59.2 million recorded in the same period of fiscal 2024. The operating margin of 4.6% contracted 80 basis points (bps) compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
