The Company is a specialty retailer of natural stone, man-made and luxury vinyl 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, 2024, the Company had 142 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, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31 , 2024. 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, 2023. 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. SEC Developments Relating to Climate Change Disclosures On March 6, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted final rules under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to require public companies (including the Company) to provide detailed climate-related information in their registration statements and periodic reports. Among other things, the final rules require public companies to disclose information about (i) climate-related risks that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition; (ii) the actual and potential material impacts of such risks on the company’s strategy, business model, and outlook; (iii) a company’s activities, if any, to mitigate or adapt to material climate-related risks; (iv) the role of the board of directors in overseeing climate-related risks and management’s role in assessing and managing the company’s material climate-related risks; (v) processes the company uses for identifying, assessing, and managing material climate-related risks; (vi) the company’s Scope 1 Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions (direct GHG emissions) and Scope 2 GHG emissions (indirect GHG emissions resulting from purchased energy) when such emissions are material and an attestation report covering such disclosures; and (vii) expenditures, costs, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions (subject to disclosure thresholds) to be disclosed in notes to the financial statements. Compliance with these requirements will be phased in over a period of years, with disclosure by large accelerated filers starting in 2026 with respect to information for the 2025 fiscal year and disclosure by smaller reporting companies (such as the Company at this time) starting in 2028 with respect to information for the 2027 fiscal year, if not delayed by the SEC. Certain requirements such as GHG emissions do not apply to smaller reporting companies (such as the Company at this time). Various organizations have filed lawsuits seeking to invalidate the SEC’s final rules that mandate climate-related disclosures. These lawsuits, which challenge the authority of the SEC to adopt these rules, have been consolidated in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying its final climate disclosure rules pending the completion of judicial review of these lawsuits. The Company is monitoring developments in these lawsuits. |
