Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:LL)

Today, Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (LL), offered a business update for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2015 were $260.0 million, an raise of 5.6% from the first quarter of 2014 and a compound annual growth rate of 6.2% over the first quarter of 2013. Net sales in the month of March were $89.4 million, a decrease of 12.8% in comparison to March 2014. Compriseent with Corporation’s expectations as discussed in its March 12, 2015 Business Update, net sales in March 2015 were significantly weaker than trends in January and February, as net sales were negatively influenced by unfavorable allegations surrounding the product quality of the Corporation’s laminates sourced from China. The Corporation opened four new stores during the first quarter of 2015 and was operating 356 locations at March 31, 2015.

The Corporation’s sales mix shifted when comparing the month of March to the first two months of 2015. Total laminate net sales, which were 21.2% of net sales through February 2015, fell 480 basis points to 16.4% in the month of March 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the sales mix of laminates sourced from China. Additionally, in comparing March 2015 to the first two months of the quarter, the sales mix of bamboo, vinyl plank and cork fell 120 basis points while the sales mix of solid and engineered hardwoods rose 470 basis points.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2015 are predictable to range from $41.5 million to $43.5 million, counting $20.0 million in borrowings on the Corporation’s revolving credit facility. The Corporation anticipates to end the first quarter with about $273 million of inventory accessible for sale, or about $766,000 per store.

Customer care has been the Corporation’s primary focus in March 2015. To reassure its customers, the Corporation implemented an air quality testing program at no cost to the customer. As part of that program, through the end of the first quarter of 2015, about 10,000 of the Corporation’s customers have requested in-home air quality test kits. The test kit is sent directly to the customer by an independent testing organization. After receiving the test kit, the customer is in control of the process.

With more than 355 locations, Lumber Liquidators is North America’s largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring. The Corporation features more than 400 top quality flooring varieties, counting solid and engineered hardwood, bamboo, cork, laminate and vinyl plank.
