Company Guidance
During the Q3 2024 earnings call for Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (TTSH), management provided insights into their financial performance and strategic initiatives amid challenging market conditions. Comparable store sales decreased by 7.9% from the previous year, reflecting the ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and reduced housing turnover, which is at its lowest since 2010. Despite these challenges, the company reported a gross margin improvement to 66.5%, marking a 50 basis point sequential improvement and a 180 basis point year-over-year increase, attributed to sourcing products at lower costs and improved delivery collection rates. The company also reduced SG&A expenses by $700,000 compared to the same quarter in 2023, primarily due to decreases in variable compensation, depreciation, and advertising costs, although offset by increased occupancy, IT, and transportation expenses. Strategic cost-saving measures included closing a distribution center in Dayton, NJ, and reducing corporate staffing, with anticipated annual savings ranging from $2.8 million to $4.1 million. Tile Shop ended the quarter with $25.1 million in cash, no bank debt, and generated $28.5 million in operating cash flow year-to-date, positioning it strongly for future challenges.
