MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTSH) (the "Company"), a specialty retailer of natural stone, man-made and luxury vinyl tiles, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Summary

Net Sales Decreased 3.4%

Comparable Store Sales Decreased 3.5%

Gross Margin of 64.4%

Net Income of $0.4 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 Million

No Debt Outstanding and $27.8 million of Cash at Quarter-End

Management Commentary – Cabell Lolmaugh, CEO

"We believe the steps we've taken to expand our assortment of entry level, competitively priced products have contributed to a modest improvement in unit volumes during the second quarter when compared to the prior year. The improvement in unit volumes was offset due to increased demand for products carrying lower average selling prices and an increase in discounting. Housing turnover remains near historic lows, which continues to put pressure on traffic in our stores and our comparable store sales results. Nevertheless, we believe the refinements made to our assortment have helped broaden our appeal to a wider range of customers and position us to more effectively navigate the challenges of the current environment."

⁽¹⁾ As compared to the prior year period.

⁽²⁾ The comparable store sales operating metric is the percentage change in sales of comparable stores period over period. A store is considered comparable on the second day of the 13th full month of operation. When a store is relocated, it is excluded from the comparable store sales calculation. Comparable store sales include total charges to customers less any actual returns. The Company includes the change in allowance for anticipated sales returns applicable to comparable stores in the comparable store sales calculation.

SECOND QUARTER 2025

Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $3.1 million, or 3.4%, compared with the second quarter of 2024. Sales decreased at comparable stores by 3.5% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in traffic.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $3.5 million, or 5.8%, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. The gross margin rate decreased 160 basis points to 64.4% in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to 66.0% during the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross margin rate was due to higher levels of discounting combined with increases in product costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $2.1 million, or 3.6%, from $58.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $56.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in asset impairment, a $0.7 million reduction in SG&A associated with the closure of our New Jersey distribution center in the third quarter of 2024, a $0.7 million decrease in marketing costs and a $0.4 million decrease in depreciation that were partially offset by a $0.4 million write-off of display supplies.

In response to the challenges faced in our industry and continued pressure on our topline results, we closed our distribution center based in Spring Valley, WI during the second quarter of 2025. We did not incur any material asset impairment or severance costs in connection with this closure. We anticipate the annualized benefit from closing this distribution center will be approximately $1.0 million.

In addition, we closed one store during the second quarter at the end of its lease term. We did not incur any material asset impairment or severance costs in connection with this closure. Additionally, we closed a second store during the third quarter at the end of its lease term.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to a decrease in pretax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 16.4% and 32.1% in the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to a decrease in pretax income and the impact of permanent differences.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on its $75.0 million line of credit. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $21.0 million as of December 31, 2024 to $27.8 million as of June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates Pretax Return on Capital Employed by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and Pretax Return on Capital Employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, for budgeting and planning purposes and for assessing the effectiveness of capital allocation over time. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
