Floor & Decor had a return on equity of 8.38% and a net margin of 4.27%.The firm had revenue of $1.25 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.23 billion.

Floor & Decor updated its FY 2026 guidance to 2.200-2.450 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Floor & Decor’s conference call:

• Second-quarter sales rose 3% to $1.25 billion, while comparable-store sales declined 2.1% but improved sequentially from a 3.7% decline in the first quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.58, flat year over year and above the company’s expectations.
• Demand for large discretionary flooring projects remains pressured by historically low existing-home sales, affordability challenges and cautious consumers. Third-quarter-to-date comparable sales were down 2.2%, and vinyl flooring faces excess industry supply that could weigh on the category through at least the first half of 2027.
• Professional sales grew approximately 4% and represented about 55% of total sales, supported by strong installation-materials performance and gains in tile and wood. Management also cited improving conversion, higher-value product adoption and better regional trends as evidence that its market-share initiatives are gaining traction.
• The company raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted diluted EPS outlook to $1.88-$2.13 and expects sales of $4.77-$4.99 billion, with the 53rd week contributing approximately $0.08 of adjusted EPS. The guidance still assumes comparable-store sales ranging from flat to down 4%, reflecting continued macroeconomic uncertainty.
• Strong operating cash flow and a refinancing that extended debt maturities supported $65.7 million of share repurchases in the quarter, with $334.3 million remaining under the authorization. Floor & Decor also continued expansion, opening 11 stores in the first half, while online sales penetration increased to 20.3% from 18.6% a year ago.
