In This Article:

As Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. FND gears up to unveil its first-quarter 2025 earnings results on May 1, after the market closes, investors are eager to gauge the company's performance. 

The company is expected to register an increase in the top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues stands at $1.16 billion, which indicates a notable 6.1% improvement from the prior-year figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 45 cents a share over the past 30 days, which suggests a decline of 2.2% from the year-ago period. Floor & Decor has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 18.2%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 50%.

Key Factors to Observe for FND's Q1 Earnings

Floor & Decor’s disciplined expansion strategy, supply chain agility, strategic investments and merchandise innovation have positioned it well to capture market share. The persistent supply-demand imbalance in housing, combined with the rising median age of owner-occupied homes, underscores the growing need for home upgrades and remodeling, key demand drivers for hard surface flooring and related categories.

The company's launch of new product categories, particularly the rollout of a semi-custom cabinet program in 40 warehouse stores and online, is expected to have been a meaningful revenue catalyst in the first quarter. By moving into adjacent remodeling categories such as cabinets, decorative accessories and outdoor products, Floor & Decor is expanding its share of customer projects beyond flooring.

The company’s disciplined approach to expanding its store footprint remains a key engine of top-line growth. By targeting warehouse-format store openings primarily in markets where brand awareness is already building, Floor & Decor ensures a faster ramp-up of new store productivity. Furthermore, its strategic push to capture a larger share of the professional customer base continues to gain traction.

While these initiatives inspire optimism, a soft start to the first quarter raises concern. As of Feb. 20, Floor & Decor's quarter-to-date comparable store sales declined 1.7%, suggesting that the momentum seen in the final quarter of 2024 may not have fully carried into the new year. Although the company has diversified its sourcing away from China over the past few years (from 50% in 2018 to 18% in 2024), tariffs remain an ongoing headwind.
