The company operates as a specialty retailer of hard surface flooring, serving a diverse customer base through its warehouse-format stores and e-commerce platform. Its customers can be broadly categorized into three main groups:

• Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Customers: These are individual homeowners who purchase flooring materials and related accessories to install themselves, often for renovation or home improvement projects. They value Floor & Decor's wide selection, competitive pricing, and in-stock availability.
• Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) Customers / Homeowners: These are individual homeowners who purchase flooring materials from Floor & Decor but hire a professional contractor or installer to perform the installation. While a professional performs the work, the ultimate purchase decision and material selection often originate with the homeowner.
• Professional Customers (Contractors, Installers, and Designers): This category includes small to medium-sized professional contractors, remodelers, installers, and interior designers who purchase materials for their residential and light commercial projects. These professionals often benefit from Floor & Decor's dedicated Pro Services, bulk pricing, and specialized support tailored to their business needs.

Floor & Decor (FND) is anticipated to drive future revenue growth over the next two to three years through several key strategies:

1. New Warehouse Store Expansion: Floor & Decor consistently identifies the opening of new warehouse-format stores as a primary driver of growth. The company plans to open approximately 25 new warehouse stores in fiscal year 2025, with a long-term goal of operating 500 stores across the United States. This ongoing physical expansion aims to increase its market presence and customer reach.
2. Growth in Pro and Commercial Sales: The company is strategically focused on expanding its sales to professional customers and its commercial business, particularly through Spartan Surfaces. Pro sales have already demonstrated significant penetration, accounting for approximately 48% of retail sales in Q2 2024 and 50% in fiscal 2025. Spartan Surfaces is targeting specific commercial sectors, including healthcare, education, senior living, and hospitality.
3. Expansion of Product Assortment and Higher-Margin Offerings: Floor & Decor is enhancing its product range with innovative and trend-forward merchandise. This includes introducing new categories such as outdoor products, acoustic wood panels, an expanded selection of tiles, and a high-quality semi-custom cabinet program available in select stores and online. Strategic merchandising efforts are also aimed at driving sales towards higher-margin products, contributing to an improved gross margin rate.
4. Market Share Gains: Despite operating in a challenging macroeconomic environment characterized by sustained softness in consumer demand and a downturn in existing home sales, Floor & Decor has demonstrated its ability to gain market share. This resilience and continued market share capture position the company for accelerated revenue growth when broader market conditions improve.
5. Anticipated Improvement in Comparable Store Sales: While Floor & Decor has experienced declines in comparable store sales in recent periods, there is an expectation of improvement. The Q4 2024 earnings call noted a sequential improvement in comparable store sales, partly attributed to modest growth in existing home sales. Management has expressed confidence in fiscal 2025, guiding for approximately 3% comparable store sales growth, anticipating a rebound as housing market fundamentals improve.
