    Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO

    “We were pleased to see the sequential improvement in comparable store sales trends when compared to the third quarter of 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we battled macro headwinds together with the typical seasonal slowdown in home remodel projects during the holidays. We are proud of the results we’ve delivered in 2023 by executing our strategy, managing expenses and reducing inventory levels. This helped us generate strong operating cash flows which made it possible to pay off our debt by year-end.”

    FOURTH QUARTER 2023

    Net Sales
    Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $3.0 million, or 3.4%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. Sales decreased at comparable stores by 3.2% during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in traffic, which was partially offset by an increase in average ticket value. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net sales decreased by $17.6 million or 4.4% compared to 2022. Sales decreased at comparable stores by 4.1% during 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to a decrease in traffic, which was partially offset by an increase in average ticket value.

    Gross Profit
    Gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 3.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The gross margin rate was 64.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 64.5% during the fourth quarter of 2022. The improvement in gross margin was due to lower international freight rates and steps taken to work with the Company’s suppliers to reduce prices on the items carried in the Company’s assortment over the last year. For the full year, gross profit decreased by $15.9 million, or 6.1%, compared to 2022. The gross margin rate was 64.4% for 2023 as compared to 65.6% for 2022. The decrease in gross margin rate was primarily due to increases in supplier costs and higher international freight rates that drove inventory costs higher throughout 2022 and the first half of 2023 before beginning to moderate during the second half of 2023.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 1.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to a $0.6 million decrease in variable compensation, a $0.5 million decrease in occupancy costs, a $0.3 million decrease in shipping and transportation and a $0.2 million decrease in consulting costs that were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in IT related expenses. Additionally, our benefits expense increased by $0.4 million during the fourth quarter due to favorable medical claims experience in 2022 that was not repeated in 2023. For the year, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $9.4 million, or 4.0%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease was largely driven by a $6.6 million reduction in variable compensation, a $3.3 million decrease in shipping and transportation and a $2.6 million decrease in occupancy costs, which were partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in IT related expenses and a $0.9 million increase in marketing. Additionally, we recorded $1.0 million of asset impairment charges in 2023 compared to $0.4 million in 2022.

    Provision for Income Taxes
    The provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.6 million, compared to $0.3 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The increase in the provision was primarily due to an increase in tax associated with stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate was 48.1% and 19.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to an increase in tax associated with stock-based compensation and lower pretax income during the fourth quarter of 2023 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. For the year, the provision for income taxes decreased $1.4 million, or 26.4%, in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to lower pretax income. The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.0% in 2023 and 25.3% in 2022, reflecting an increase in tax expense associated with stock-based compensation.

    Capital Structure and Liquidity
    During 2023, the Company repaid $45.4 million of borrowings on its credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on its line of credit. Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.7 million from $5.9 million on December 31, 2022, to $8.6 million on December 31, 2023.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company uses several non-GAAP financial measures to manage its business including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and pretax Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income in accordance with 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. The Company calculates ROCE 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 ROCE differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

    The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company 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 the Board of Directors. The Company believes 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 the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

    The Company’s 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 the Company’s 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. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
