  • Employment / Personnel - Risk 1
    Our success depends on the continued service of key personnel, and we are undergoing a significant leadership transition.

    We believe that our success has historically depended, and will continue to depend, to a significant extent upon the skills, experience, and leadership of our executive officers and other key management personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals, or any failure to successfully manage leadership transitions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Trevor Lang, who initially joined the Company in 2011 and served as our President since 2022, retired effective March 1, 2025. In connection with this transition, we appointed Bradley Paulsen as our new President in March 2025. Subsequently, Mr. Paulsen assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer in fiscal 2026, succeeding Thomas V. Taylor, who became Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). This represents the first change in our Chief Executive Officer position since 2012. Although this succession has been carefully planned, including Mr. Taylor's active involvement and continued service as Executive Chairman, any change in senior leadership entails execution risk. Differences in leadership style or strategic priorities between outgoing and incoming executives could, if not effectively managed, result in confusion or misalignment. Our relationships with customers, suppliers, lenders, and other stakeholders may be impacted during the transition. Additionally, changes at the Chief Executive Officer level may prompt other key management personnel to reevaluate their positions, and there can be no assurance that all will remain with the Company. Failure to successfully execute these transitions or maintain alignment and motivation among our leadership team could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

  • Employment / Personnel - Risk 2
    Our success depends upon our ability to attract, hire, train, and retain highly qualified managers and staff.

    Our success depends in part on our ability to attract, hire, train, and retain qualified managers and staff. Purchasing hard surface flooring is an infrequent event for consumers, and the typical consumer has limited knowledge of the range, characteristics, and suitability of the products available before starting the purchasing process. Therefore, consumers in the hard surface flooring market expect to have sales associates serving them who are knowledgeable about the entire assortment of products offered by the retailer and the process of choosing and installing hard surface flooring. Each of our stores is managed by a store manager who has the flexibility, with the support of regional managers, to use knowledge of local market dynamics to customize each store in a way that is most likely to increase net sales and profitability. Our store managers are also expected to anticipate, gauge, and quickly respond to changing consumer demands in these markets. Further, it generally takes a substantial amount of time for our store managers to develop the entrepreneurial skills we expect to make our stores successful. Any failure by us to attract, hire, train, and retain highly qualified managers and staff could adversely affect our operating results and future growth opportunities, and any increased labor costs due to competition, increased wage costs (including various federal, state, and local actions to increase minimum wages), associate benefit costs, unionization activity, or other factors would adversely impact our operating expenses.

  • Employment / Personnel - Risk 3
    Labor activities could cause labor relations difficulties for us.

    Currently none of our associates are represented by a union; however, our associates have the right at any time to form or affiliate with a union. As we continue to grow, enter different regions, and operate distribution centers, unions may attempt to organize all or part of our associate base at certain stores or distribution centers within certain regions. Future organizational activities could result in distractions to our management and workforce, increased labor costs, work stoppages or strikes, disruption of our operations, limitations on our operational flexibility and efficiency, and other adverse effects that we cannot currently predict, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
