Background | No te 1: Background Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings,” and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2012. The Company is a specialty retailer of natural stone and man-made tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States. The Company manufactures its own setting and maintenance materials, such as thinset, grout, and sealers. The Company’s primary market is retail sales to consumers, contractors, designers and home builders. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 143 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia, with an average size of approximately 20,000 square feet. The Company has distribution centers located in Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wisconsin. The Company also has a sourcing office located in China. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10 - Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature, including the elimination of all intercompany transactions. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31 , 2021. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in such Form 10-K. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Specifically, the Company elected to change the way it presents cash flows from operating leases in its Statement of Cash Flows. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company presented the net change in the right of use asset and lease liabilities as other, net within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined it would be more appropriate to disaggregate this activity. The amortization of the right of use assets is now presented as a non-cash lease expense within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows. Lease payments, net of the accretion of lease liabilities, are now presented as a change in accrued expenses and other liabilities within the operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows. The impact of this change on the Statement of Cash Flows presented as of March 31, 2020 follows: (in thousands) Previously Reported Adjustments As Revised Non-cash lease expense $ - $ 5,868 $ 5,868 Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities 2,973 ( 6,680 ) ( 3,707 ) Other, net ( 812 ) 812 - Net cash provided by operating activities 22,892 - 22,892 The change in classification had no impact on the Company’s pretax earnings, earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or balance sheets in any period. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. COVID-19 has negatively impacted public health and the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created volatility in financial markets. The continuing implications of COVID-19 on the Company remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic and the effects of new variants of COVID-19, some of which may be more virulent or transmissible than the initial strain; its impact on the Company’s employees, customers and suppliers; the range and timing of government mandated restrictions and other measures; and the success of the deployment and widespread adoption of approved COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness. This uncertainty could have a material impact on the accounting estimates and assumptions utilized to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods, which could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company adopted new accounting requirements related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The new standard and subsequent amendments replaced the incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents its estimate of expected credit losses related to its trade receivables. To estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company leverages information on historical losses, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the Company deems the amount is uncollectible. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance providing optional expedients and exceptions to account for the effects of reference rate reform to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The optional guidance is effective as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
