Floor & Decor Trims Annual Outlook Despite Third-Quarter Profit Jump
Floor & Decor Holdings lowered its full-year financial guidance on Thursday, casting a shadow over a third-quarter performance that saw both revenue and profits climb. The hard-surface flooring retailer now projects annual earnings per share between $1.88 and $1.98, significantly tightening the upper bound of its previous forecast.
Despite the outlook revision, the company outperformed third-quarter expectations. Profit reached $64.8 million, or 61 cents per share, rising from $57.3 million in the same period last year and beating the 57-cent estimate from FactSet analysts. Net sales rose to $1.21 billion, though this marginally missed the $1.22 billion target. Alongside the financial results, the company announced a leadership shift: Thomas Taylor is transitioning to the role of board chair, finalizing a succession plan that saw Brad Paulsen take the CEO reins last December. Additionally, Lauren Taylor Wolfe of Impactive Capital will join the board as an independent director in February.
