Action:ReiteratedDate:02/20/26
The score is driven primarily by solid growth and improving leverage, tempered by recent margin compression and a sharp drop in free cash flow. Technicals add pressure with the stock trading below key moving averages, while valuation (P/E ~33 with no dividend) looks demanding given current profitability and cash-conversion headwinds. Earnings call guidance was prudent/neutral, with continued expansion plans but near-term comps and cost pressures.
Positive Factors
Multi-year revenue growth and store expansion
Sustained top-line growth and a growing warehouse-format footprint (270 stores, +20 in FY25, plan for +20 in FY26) create durable scale advantages. Broader store network increases geographic reach, supports supply-chain leverage, and deepens relationships with pro customers, underpinning steady revenue over multiple years.
Resilient gross margin profile
A mid-40s gross margin demonstrates structural product economics and pricing flexibility. Margin resilience stems from product mix, sourcing diversification and pricing power with pro and DIY customers, providing a persistent buffer for profitability even if SG&A and logistics costs ebb and flow.
Improving leverage and strong liquidity
Debt relative to equity has meaningfully declined from earlier peaks and cash plus available ABL (~$909.8M) provides financial flexibility. Healthier leverage and liquidity support continued store investment and DC expansion while reducing refinancing risk and preserving capital for strategic priorities.
Negative Factors
Sharp decline in free cash flow and weak cash conversion
FCF volatility and a steep drop in 2025 weaken the company's ability to self-fund growth and absorb shocks. Lower cash conversion versus net income points to working-capital timing and investment drain, increasing reliance on credit lines or external financing for capex and store expansion.
Net margin compression and lower shareholder returns
Profitability has materially narrowed, reducing returns to shareholders and resilience to cost shocks. Margin erosion reflects SG&A deleverage and higher operating costs; persistently lower margins constrain reinvestment capacity and make earnings more sensitive to commodity, tariff, or distribution cost increases.
Comparable-store sales and transaction weakness
Sustained comp and transaction declines signal weaker underlying demand and shifts toward lower-spec, smaller projects. Structural softening in core categories and fewer customer transactions can slow organic growth, increase marketing and promotional needs, and pressure long-term same-store economics absent successful Pro or product diversification gains.

Earnings Call Date:Feb 19, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
Balanced/Neutral: The company delivered modest earnings growth, full-year revenue growth (+5.1%), gross margin expansion, record customer satisfaction and continued strategic investments (store expansion, Pro initiatives, Spartan growth, improved liquidity). However, meaningful comparable-store sales weakness, transaction declines, weather-related disruption, distribution center and tariff headwinds, SG&A deleverage and a pullback in operating cash flow temper the near-term outlook. Management provided prudent FY26 guidance that anticipates these headwinds while retaining flexibility to manage costs and invest in strategic priorities.Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Earnings Per Share In Line and FY EPS Growth
Q4 diluted EPS of $0.36 was in line with guidance midpoint; full fiscal year diluted EPS of $1.92 vs $1.90 prior year (prior year included a $0.05 benefit). Fiscal 2026 EPS guidance is $1.98 to $2.18.
Full-Year Revenue and Gross Margin Expansion
Fiscal 2025 sales grew 5.1% to $4.684 billion; full-year gross profit increased $115.7 million or 6.0% and gross margin improved ~30 basis points to 43.6% year-over-year.
Store Footprint Expansion and Lower New-Store CapEx
Opened 20 new warehouse-format stores in FY25 (8 in Q4), ending the year with 270 stores, an 8% increase from 251. Plan to open 20 stores in FY26. New-store capital spend per store for the 2026 class expected at $7M–$8M versus $10.2M for the 2025 class, reflecting ~11% lower construction costs versus earlier cohorts.
Commercial and Pro Momentum; Connected Customers
Pro customers represented ~50% of total sales (Q4 Pro sales grew slightly and +9% for the full year). Spartan Surfaces sales rose ~13% to $243 million. Connected customer sales increased ~2% and accounted for ~18.5% of total sales, with connected average ticket growing.
Operational Improvements and Customer Satisfaction
Company achieved record Net Promoter Scores in 2025, diversified sourcing (China receipts down to 3% from 12.5% prior year), and invested in distribution center capacity (Seattle and Baltimore) to support future growth and network responsiveness.
Strong Liquidity and Reduced CapEx
Year-end unrestricted liquidity of $909.8 million (cash $249.3M + $660.5M available ABL). Fiscal 2025 capital expenditures were $300.4M, down from $376.3M in 2024, and inventory remained stable at $1.1B.
Negative Updates
Comparable Store Sales Weakness
Q4 comparable store sales declined 4.8% and full-year comps declined 1.8% (at the low end of guidance). Monthly Q4 comps were -1.5% (Oct), -6.1% (Nov) and -6.7% (Dec).
Early FY26 Disruption from Severe Weather and Q1 Pressure
January comps improved (+0.4%), but severe winter storms in February affected ~55% of stores and the Baltimore DC, creating ~200–300 basis points of quarter-to-date pressure (estimated $12M–$18M) and contributing to a fiscal 2026 Q1-to-date comp decline of ~3.5%.
Transaction Declines and Category Pressure
Q4 transactions declined 4.2% and average ticket declined 0.6%; full-year transactions declined 3.5% (avg ticket +1.8%). Vinyl/laminate faced particular sensitivity as demand shifts to lower-specification, lower-price items and smaller project sizes pressured transactional activity.
Near-Term Gross Margin Headwinds from Distribution Investments and Tariffs
Distribution center expansion created gross margin pressure (~90 basis points in Q4 and ~70 basis points for the full year). Modest tariff-related cost increases are expected to impact margin in early 2026, prompting planned modest retail pricing actions.
SG&A Deleverage and One-Time Costs
Q4 SG&A increased 4.0% to $439.2M and SG&A as a percentage of sales deleveraged to 38.9% (≈+80 bps); full-year SG&A rose 6.1% to $1.7738B and SG&A % of sales deleveraged to 37.8% (≈+30 bps). SG&A included ERP expenses (~$9M for FY25).
Operating Cash Flow Decline and Higher Tax Rate
Net cash provided by operating activities declined to $381.8M in 2025 from $603.2M in 2024, primarily due to timing of trade accounts payable and inventory receipts. Effective tax rate increased to 21.8% for FY25 (from 18.8%), adversely impacting EPS by ~$0.08.
Company Guidance
Floor & Decor’s fiscal 2026 guidance targets sales of $4.88–$5.03 billion (up ~4%–7% YoY, including a ~53rd‑week contribution of ~$65M), comps down 2% to up 1% (comp average ticket +low single digits; comp transactions down mid‑single digits to low single digits), gross margin ~43.5%–43.8%, SG&A ~37.7%–37.8% of sales (Q1 and Q4 most pressured), adjusted EBITDA $560–$590M (53rd week ~$11M), diluted EPS $1.98–$2.18 (53rd week ~$0.08) on ~109M diluted shares, net interest expense ~ $5M, tax rate ~21.5%–22.0%, depreciation & amortization ~ $245M, and planned CapEx $250–$300M (including $160–$190M for ~20 new warehouse-format stores at ~$7–$8M new‑store CapEx, ~$60–$70M for existing stores/DCs and ~$30–$40M for IT/e‑commerce); management expects second‑half comps to be stronger with Q3 as the year’s high point.Floor & Decor Holdings Financial Statement Overview
Summary
Strong multi-year revenue growth and resilient/improving gross margin support the score, and leverage has improved. Offsetting this, net margin has compressed materially and FY2025 free cash flow fell sharply with weak cash conversion versus net income, raising near-term earnings quality risk.Income Statement
Revenue has expanded strongly over the period (from ~$2.43B in 2020 to ~$4.68B in 2025), including a notable acceleration in 2025. Gross margin has held up well and improved versus earlier years, signaling resilient pricing and product economics. However, profitability has compressed: net margin has trended down from ~8.0% (2020) to ~4.5% (2025), and operating profitability also appears lower versus 2021–2023 levels, indicating higher cost pressure and/or investment spending. Overall: strong top-line trajectory, but weaker earnings quality and margin durability in the most recent year.71
Positive
Balance Sheet
Leverage is moderate and improving: debt relative to equity has stepped down from above 1.0x in 2020–2022 to ~0.75x in 2025, supported by steady equity growth. Return on equity remains positive but has declined meaningfully (from ~18–21% in 2020–2022 to ~8.7% in 2025), consistent with the margin pressure seen in the income statement. Total assets increased overall, though they declined in 2025 versus 2024, suggesting some balance sheet tightening. Overall: healthier leverage trend, but reduced shareholder returns are a key watch item.66
Positive
Cash Flow
Cash generation has been volatile. Operating cash flow is positive in each year shown but declined in 2025 versus 2024, and free cash flow fell sharply to ~$64M in 2025 (down from ~$156M in 2024 and ~$256M in 2023). Free cash flow covers only a small portion of net income in 2025 (~17%), pointing to weaker cash conversion. The company has improved materially from the negative free-cash-flow period in 2021–2022, but the latest year still reflects pressure from working capital and/or higher investment needs. Overall: improving versus the trough, but not yet consistently strong or predictable.54
