Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Floor & Decor names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 19, 2026: 33 risks under these headings, as written.17

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
  • Persistent macroeconomic headwinds, including high interest rates and weak home sales, may continue to depress demand for our products.
  • If we fail to successfully manage our new store growth or encounter higher-than-expected costs, our expansion plans and future profitability could suffer.
  • We may continue to have negative comparable store sales or future comparable store growth lower than we expect, which has had and may continue to have a negative impact on our net sales, business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • If we are unable to enter into leases or acquire properties for additional stores on acceptable terms or renew or replace our current store leases, or if one or more of our current leases is terminated prior to expiration of its stated term and we cannot find suitable alternate locations, our growth and profitability could be adversely affected.
  • Our business largely depends on a strong brand image and awareness, and if we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand image and awareness, particularly in new markets where we have limited brand recognition, we may be unable to increase or maintain our level of sales.
  • Any failure by us to successfully anticipate trends may lead to loss of consumer acceptance of our products, resulting in reduced net sales.
  • Increased competition could cause price declines, decrease demand for our products, and decrease our market share.
  • Adverse changes in global trade policies, tariffs, or import enforcement actions could increase our costs or disrupt our supply chain.
  • Our operating results may be adversely affected if we do not successfully manage our inventory.
  • Disruptions in our distribution network or supply chain could impair our ability to deliver products to stores and customers on time.
  • Our operating results may be adversely affected by increases in wholesale prices of products, materials and transportation costs beyond our control, including increases in costs due to inflation.
The other 22 risks
  • Our success depends on the continued service of key personnel, and we are undergoing a significant leadership transition.
  • Our success depends upon our ability to attract, hire, train, and retain highly qualified managers and staff.
  • Labor activities could cause labor relations difficulties for us.
  • We procure the majority of our products from suppliers located outside of the United States, and as a result, we are subject to risks associated with obtaining products from abroad that have previously and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • We depend on a number of suppliers, and any failure by any of them to supply us with quality products on attractive terms and prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • The failure of our suppliers to adhere to the quality standards that we set for our products could lead to investigations, litigation, write-offs, recalls, or boycotts of our products, which could damage our reputation and our brand, increase our costs, and otherwise adversely affect our business.
  • Our ability to offer compelling products to our customers depends on the continued availability of sufficient suitable natural products.
  • The effects of weather conditions, natural disasters, or other unexpected events, including public health crises, may disrupt our operations and have a negative impact on our business.
  • Our business exposes us to personal injury, product liability and warranty claims and related governmental investigations, which could result in negative publicity, harm our brand and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • Federal, state, or local laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could increase our expenses, restrict our ability to conduct our business and expose us to legal risks.
  • If our efforts to protect the privacy and security of information related to our customers, us, our associates, our suppliers and other third parties are not successful, we could become subject to litigation, investigations, liability and negative publicity that could significantly harm our reputation and relationships with our customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • A disruption in our information systems, including our website, could adversely affect our business or operating results and lead to reduced net sales and reputational damage.
  • We will require significant capital to fund our expanding business and service our existing indebtedness, and such capital may not be available to us on satisfactory terms or at all. If we are unable to maintain sufficient levels of cash flow or if we are unable to meet our debt service obligations under our credit facilities, we may not meet our growth expectations or we may require additional financing, which could adversely affect our financial health and impose covenants that limit our business activities.
  • Changes in tax laws, trade policies, or regulations and newly enacted tax laws, trade policies, or regulations may impact our effective tax rate or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
  • We are subject to payments-related risks that could increase our operating costs, expose us to fraud, subject us to potential liability and potentially disrupt our business.
  • Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could reduce the value of our products and brand and harm our business, and we may be involved in disputes relating to our intellectual property and the intellectual property of third parties.
  • We may consider or engage in strategic transactions. Any such strategic transactions would involve risks, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operation, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of these transactions.
  • We face risks related to our indebtedness.
  • Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock
  • We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends.
  • Certain provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law could impair a takeover attempt and adversely affect existing stockholders and the market value of our common stock.
  • General Risk Factors
  • We are engaged from time to time in various legal actions, claims and proceedings, and while we cannot predict the outcomes of such proceedings and other contingencies with certainty, some of these outcomes and any potential future proceedings could have an adverse impact on us.
  • We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility.

Legal proceedings

We are engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to breach of contracts, personal injury, product liabilities, intellectual property matters, and employment-related matters resulting from our business activities. As with most actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability cannot always be determined. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. See the information disclosed under “Litigation” in Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for further detail on legal proceedings.
