Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (“We,” “Our,” the “Company,” or “Floor & Decor”) announces its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended September 26, 2024.
Tom Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are incredibly proud of how our store and store support teams executed our plans and managed costs during a period when demand for large project discretionary home improvement and hard surface flooring spending remained challenging. In the face of these challenges, the hard work and dedication of our associates enabled us to deliver fiscal 2024 third quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.48, which exceeded our expectations. We continue implementing and executing strategies designed to grow our market share while working prudently to manage our profitability and maintain a strong balance sheet in this challenging period. I particularly want to thank our associates affected by the recent hurricanes for their hard work and dedication to their communities. Thanks to their efforts, we quickly reopened our stores to begin serving customers affected by the hurricanes as they began their recovery and rebuilding efforts.”
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we opened 11 new warehouse-format stores, including eight openings in fiscal September. As a result, we ended the third quarter operating 241 warehouse-format stores and five design studios compared with 207 warehouse-format stores and five design studios in the same period last year. We plan to open ten warehouse-format stores in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 to achieve our 30 new warehouse-format store opening plan in fiscal 2024.
