“Same store sales for the month reduced 5.8% against an raise of 14.9% in February last year. During the month, store traffic and delivery of items purchased were negatively influenced by weather. In addition, due to the prolonged port labor disruption which had a higher influence than preceding months, lower availability of furniture product contributed to a decrease in same store sales of 8% for the furniture category. To illustrate the relative influence of the port disruption on the furniture category, mattresses, which are sourced domestically, had an raise in same store sales of 2.5%. Inventory availability should improve but we do not expect it to return to normal in March. Customer purchases awaiting delivery due to both inclement weather and port disruption raised about $3.6 million, or 36.9%, from the end of January. Sales are recorded when the customer receives the product.”
