Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business LL Flooring Holdings, Inc., formerly Lumber Liquidators Holding, Inc., and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively and, where applicable, individually, the “Company”) engage in business as a multi-channel specialty retailer of hard and soft surface flooring, and hard and soft surface flooring enhancements and accessories, operating as a single operating segment. The Company offers an extensive assortment of hard and soft surface flooring including waterproof hybrid resilient, waterproof vinyl plank, solid and engineered hardwood, laminate, bamboo, tile, and cork, with a wide range of flooring enhancements and accessories to complement. The Company also provides in-home delivery and installation services to its customers. The Company primarily sells to consumers or to Pros on behalf of consumers through a network of store locations in metropolitan areas. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s 437 stores spanned 47 states in the United States (“U.S.”). In addition to the store locations, the Company’s products may be ordered, and customer questions or concerns addressed, through both its customer contact center in Richmond, Virginia, and its digital platform, LLFlooring.com . Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The consolidated financial statements of LL Flooring Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company estimates that it has sufficient liquidity through amounts available under its forecasted cash flows from operations and Revolving Credit Facility to fund its working capital. The Company prepares its forecasted cash flow and liquidity estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 8.8 million and $ 10.8 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, of which there were zero on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settled, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle within the month to be cash and cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $ 6.3 million and $ 6.1 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. Credit Programs Credit is offered to the Company’s customers through a credit card, underwritten by a third-party financial institution generally with no recourse to the Company. A credit line is offered to the Company’s professional customers through the LL Flooring Commercial Credit Program. This commercial credit program is underwritten by a third-party financial institution generally with no recourse to the Company. As part of the credit program, the Company’s customers may tender their LL Flooring credit card to receive installation services. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the variable rate of interest. Merchandise Inventories The Company values merchandise inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The method by which amounts are removed from inventory is weighted average cost. All of the hardwood flooring purchased from vendors is either prefinished or unfinished, and in immediate saleable form. The Company relies on a select group of international and domestic suppliers to provide imported flooring products that meet the Company’s specifications. The Company is subject to risks associated with obtaining products from abroad, including disruptions or delays in production, shipments, supply chain, delivery or processing, including due to trade restrictions. Inventory cost includes the costs of bringing an article to its existing condition and location such as shipping and handling and import tariffs. Included in merchandise inventories are tariff related costs, including Section 301 tariffs on certain products imported from China in recent years. The Company has deployed pricing, promotion, and alternative country sourcing strategies to mitigate tariff-related costs and improve gross margin. The Company continues to monitor the market to inform its pricing and promotional strategies. Inventory for the Company's soft surface offerings is also recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value and is removed from inventory at weighted average cost. The Company does not maintain carpet inventory in stock. Instead it relies on the logistics and distribution capabilities of its single source supplier to deliver inventory to the installers who install the Company's carpet product for its customers. All purchases made via purchase order are recorded as inventory when shipped from the suppliers location and the Company obtains control of the inventory. The Company maintains an inventory reserve for loss or obsolescence based on historical results and current sales trends. This reserve was $ 7.3 million and $ 5.5 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates potential impairment losses on long-lived assets and right-of-use assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired, and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If impairment exists an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 1.3 million associated with stores it decided to close in 2023. There were no impairment losses recorded in 2022 or 2021. Goodwill Goodwill represented the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired associated with acquisitions by the Company. The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the asset carrying value for the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company considered the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. The goodwill impairment tests were based on determining the fair value of the specified reporting unit. The valuation approaches were subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgments and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), and comparable company market multiples. When developing these key judgments and assumptions, the Company considered economic, operational and market conditions that would have impacted the fair value of the reporting unit. However, estimates are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectations regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates were based will, in all likelihood, differ in some respects from actual future results. Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for certain employee health benefit claims and for certain workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates a liability for aggregate losses below stop-loss coverage limits based on estimates of the ultimate costs to be incurred to settle known claims and claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on a number of assumptions and factors including historical and industry trends and economic conditions. This liability could be affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accruals of $ 4.3 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively, related to estimated claims included in other current liabilities. Recognition of Net Sales The Company generates revenues primarily by retailing merchandise in the form of hard and soft surface flooring, carpet, and accessories. Additionally, the Company expands its revenues by offering services to deliver and/or install this merchandise for its customers; it considers these services to be separate performance obligations. The separate performance obligations are detailed on the customer’s invoice(s) and the customer often purchases flooring merchandise without purchasing installation or delivery services. Sales occur through the Company's network of 437 stores, which spanned 47 states on December 31, 2023, and its digital platform, LLFlooring.com . The Company’s agreements with its customers are of short duration (less than a year), and as such the Company has elected not to disclose revenue for partially satisfied contracts that will be completed in the days following the end of a period as permitted by GAAP. The Company reports its revenues exclusive of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities, consistent with past practice. Revenue is based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives from vendors. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer or performing service for a customer. Revenues from installation and freight services are recognized when the delivery is made or the installation is complete, which approximates the recognition of revenue over time due to the short duration of service provided. The price of the Company’s merchandise and services is specified in the respective contract and detailed on the invoice agreed to with the customer including any discounts. The Company generally requires customers to pay a deposit, equal to approximately half of the retail sales value, when ordering merchandise not regularly carried in a given location or not currently in stock. In addition, the Company generally does not extend credit to its customers with payment due in full at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or when the service is provided. Customer payments and deposits received in advance of the customer taking possession of the merchandise or receiving the services are recorded as deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet caption “Customer Deposits and Store Credits”. The following table shows the activity in this account for the periods noted: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 (in thousands) Customer Deposits and Store Credits, Beginning Balance $ ( 43,767 ) $ ( 67,063 ) $ ( 61,389 ) New Deposits ( 958,587 ) ( 1,159,279 ) ( 1,238,157 ) Recognition of Revenue 904,746 1,110,679 1,152,344 Sales Tax included in Customer Deposits 53,688 66,864 69,860 Other 4,452 5,032 10,279 Customer Deposits and Store Credits, Ending Balance $ ( 39,468 ) $ ( 43,767 ) $ ( 67,063 ) Subject to limitations under the Company’s policy, return of unopened merchandise is generally accepted for 90 days, subject to the discretion of the store manager. The amount of revenue recognized for flooring merchandise is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the Company’s historical data, current sales levels and forecasted economic trends. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate returns because it has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. The Company reduces revenue by the number of expected returns and records it within “Other Current Liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. The sales return reserve was $ 1.7 million and $ 2.2 million on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company recognizes a related asset for the right to recover returned merchandise and records it in the “Other Current Assets” caption of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.2 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes sales commissions as incurred since the amortization period is less than one year. In total, the Company offers hundreds of different flooring products; however, no single flooring product represented a significant portion of its sales mix. By major product category, the Company’s sales mix was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 (in thousands, except percentage data) Manufactured Products 1 $ 435,507 48 % $ 537,081 48 % $ 531,947 46 % Solid and Engineered Hardwood 211,207 23 % 261,602 24 % 291,458 25 % Moldings and Accessories and Other 2 129,952 15 % 159,244 14 % 170,538 15 % Installation and Delivery Services 128,080 14 % 152,752 14 % 158,401 14 % Total $ 904,746 100 % $ 1,110,679 100 % $ 1,152,344 100 % 1 Includes engineered vinyl plank, laminate, vinyl and tile. 2 Includes carpet. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the cost of products sold, including tariffs, the cost of installation services, and transportation costs from vendors to the Company’s distribution centers or store locations. It also includes transportation costs from distribution centers to store locations, transportation costs for the delivery of products from store locations to customers, certain costs of quality control procedures, warranty and customer satisfaction costs, inventory adjustments including obsolescence and shrinkage, and costs to produce and ship samples, which are net of vendor allowances. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 , "Cost of Sales" on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) and income also included $ 6.3 million in incremental costs related to the vinyl flooring U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") detentions of vinyl flooring under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act ("UFLPA"). In September 2023, the Company also recorded an unfavorable $ 10.7 million 2012-2013 antidumping duty rate change to "Cost of Sales" on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. This adjustment is discussed further in Item 8, Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements below. The Company offers a range of limited warranties for the durability of the finish on its prefinished products to its services provided. These limited warranties range from one to 100 years , with lifetime warranties for certain of the Company’s products. Warranty reserves are based primarily on claims experience, sales history and other considerations, including payments made to satisfy customers for claims not directly related to the warranty on the Company’s products. Warranty costs are recorded in cost of sales. This reserve was $ 0.5 million and $ 1.0 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and recorded in "Other Current Liabilities" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company seeks recovery from its vendors and third-party independent contractors of installation services for certain amounts paid. Vendor allowances mostly consist of volume rebates and are accrued as earned, with those allowances received as a result of attaining certain purchase levels accrued over the incentive period based on estimates of purchases. Volume rebates earned are initially recorded as a reduction in merchandise inventories and a subsequent reduction in cost of sales when the related product is sold. Reimbursement received for the cost of producing samples is recorded as an offset against cost of sales. Advertising Costs Advertising costs charged to selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, net of vendor allowances, were $ 62.8 million, $ 65.4 million and $ 61.9 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company uses various types of media to brand its name and advertise its products. Media production costs are generally expensed as incurred, except for direct mail, which is expensed when the finished piece enters the postal system. Media placement costs are generally expensed in the month the advertising occurs, except for contracted endorsements and sports agreements, which are generally expensed ratably over the contract period. Amounts paid in advance are included in prepaid expenses and totaled $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. Store Opening Costs Costs to open new store locations are charged to SG&A expenses as incurred, net of any vendor support. Other Vendor Consideration Consideration from non-merchandise vendors, including royalties and rebates, are generally recorded as an offset to SG&A expenses when earned. Depreciation and Amortization Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements are the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remainder of the lease terms. For leases with optional renewal periods for which renewal is not reasonably certain, the Company uses the original lease term, excluding optional renewal periods, to determine the appropriate estimated useful lives. Capitalized software costs are capitalized from the time that technological feasibility is established until the software is ready for use. The estimated useful lives are generally as follows: Years Buildings and Building Improvements 7 to 40 Property and Equipment 3 to 10 Computer Software and Hardware 3 to 10 Leasehold Improvements 1 to 10 Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined with the assistance of a third party. The operating lease ROU asset also is adjusted for any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease at certain dates, typically at the Company’s own discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company includes the renewal period in its lease term. Many of the Company’s leases include both lease (e.g., payments including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The Company made an accounting policy election that payments under agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included on the consolidated balance sheet but will be recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with ASC 718. The Company may issue incentive awards, including performance-based awards, in the form of stock options, restricted shares and other equity awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. The Company recognizes expense for the majority of its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. For awards granted to non-employee directors, expense is recognized based on the fair value of the award at the end of a reporting period. For performance-based awards granted to certain members of senior management, the Company recognizes expense after assessing the probability of the achievement of certain financial metrics on a periodic basis. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. Measured compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the entire related stock-based compensation award. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”). Income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method and consider differences between the tax and financial accounting bases. The tax effects of these differences are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred income taxes and measured using the effective tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company takes into account various factors, including the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, expected level of future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives. In future periods, any valuation allowance will be re-evaluated in accordance with ASC 740, and a change, if required, will be recorded through income tax expense in the period such determination is made. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of its position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. Net (Loss) Income per Common Share Basic net (loss) income per common share is determined by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is determined by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and restricted shares. Common stock and common stock equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and release of restricted shares, except when the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2024 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU. In December, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, and 2) information on income taxes paid. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill | Note 3. Goodwill Goodwill represents the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired associated with acquisitions by the Company. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the asset carrying value for the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment tests are based on determining the fair value of the specified reporting units based on management judgments and assumptions using the discounted cash flows under the income approach classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and comparable company market valuation classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy approaches. The Company operates as a single operating segment for the purposes of allocating goodwill as well as assessing impairments. The valuation approaches are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgments and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") and comparable company market multiples. In 2022, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $ 9.7 million ($ 7.2 million net of tax), reducing the carrying value of its reporting unit to zero. |

Credit Agreement | Note 4. Credit Agreement On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells” and, collectively with the Bank, the “Lenders”) and the Bank in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent (in this capacity, the “Agent”) and Wells as syndication agent. The Original Credit Agreement was subsequently amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement on April 17, 2020, and the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement on April 30, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). On December 27, 2022, the Company entered into a Waiver and Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Lenders and the Agent. The Amendment, among other things, (i) changed the rate under the Agreement for borrowings from a LIBOR-based rate to a Term SOFR-based rate (as defined in the Amendment), subject to certain adjustments specified in the Amendment and (ii) provided a waiver of a technical event of default under the Credit Agreement related to providing notice to the Lenders of the Company’s name change from Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. to LL Flooring Holdings, Inc. Except as set forth in the Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in place. The Credit Agreement contains a Revolving Credit Facility of up to $ 200.0 million subject to the conditions under the Revolving Borrowing Base, and the Company has an option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum total amount of $ 250.0 million. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 30, 2026 . The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by security interests in the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which includes substantially all assets of the Company including, among other things, the Company’s inventory and credit card receivables, and the Company’s East Coast distribution center located in Sandston, Virginia. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company has the ability to release the East Coast distribution center from the Collateral under certain conditions. The Amendment defines the margin for Term SOFR Rate Loans (as defined in the Amendment) as a range of 1.25 % to 1.75 % over the applicable Term SOFR Rate with respect to revolving loans depending on the Company’s average daily excess borrowing availability. The Term SOFR Rate Floor is 0.25 %. The unused commitment fee is 0.25 % per annum based on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility during the most recently completed calendar quarter. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was 6.7 %. The Credit Agreement contains a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant that becomes effective only when specified availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below the greater of $ 17.5 million or 10 % of the Revolving Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2023, there was $ 66.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company had $ 7.1 million in letters of credit which reduces its availability. As of December 31, 2023 , there was $ 109.4 million of availability under the Credit Agreement, which represents a decrease of $ 15.4 million from $ 124.8 million of availability as of December 31, 2022. Given the availability at December 31, 2023 , the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant has not been triggered. |

As of February 2022, the Company had purchased approximately $ 135.3 million common stock with $ 14.7 million remaining under this authorization, and the board of directors further increased this authority by an additional $ 35.3 million for a total authorization to repurchase up to $ 50.0 million of the Company’s common stock on the open market or in private transactions. As of December 31, 2023 , there remains $ 43.0 million outstanding under the share repurchase authorization, which does not have an expiration date. The Company did no t repurchase any shares under the previous authorization during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2021. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 , the Company made cash payments of $ 7.0 million to repurchase 571,332 shares under the share repurchase authorization. The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the authorization will be determined at the Company's discretion and based on market conditions and other considerations. Share repurchases under the authorizations may be made through open market purchases or pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The program does not obligate LL Flooring to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Outside of the share repurchase program, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 , the Company did no t repurchase any shares of its common stock.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation Overview The Company has an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”), which became effective on May 11, 2023, for employees, non-employee directors and other service providers from which the Company may grant stock options, restricted shares and other equity awards. The total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 10.1 million. As of December 31, 2023 , 1.3 million shares of common stock were available for future grants. Stock options granted under the Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Vesting periods are assigned to stock options and restricted shares on a grant-by-grant basis at the discretion of the board. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options, granting of restricted shares, vesting of performance-based restricted shares, and vesting of restricted stock units. Under the Plan, the Company’s non-employee directors are compensated with an annual RSA grant. The amount of outstanding nonvested RSAs granted to non-employee directors was 166.7 thousand and 43.1 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The Company also maintains the Outside Directors Deferral Plan under which each of the Company’s non-employee directors has the opportunity to elect annually to defer certain fees (which are payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock with a vesting period of at least one year ). A non-employee director may elect to defer up to 100 % of his or her fees and have such fees invested in deferred stock units. Deferred stock units must be settled in common stock in either a lump sum or up to five annual equal payments following a director’s departure from the board. There were 377,701 and 244,976 deferred stock units outstanding at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock Options The following table summarizes activity related to employee stock options: Remaining Weighted Average Aggregate Average Contractual Intrinsic Shares Exercise Price Term (Years) Value Balance, December 31, 2020 553,956 $ 18.08 $ 8,508 Granted 111,355 23.49 Exercised ( 5,798 ) 10.98 Forfeited ( 34,586 ) 16.91 Balance, December 31, 2021 624,927 $ 19.17 7.0 $ 1,979 Granted 253,870 13.00 Exercised ( 21,378 ) 13.87 Forfeited ( 133,643 ) 18.14 Balance, December 31, 2022 723,776 $ 17.36 6.2 $ — Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited ( 273,040 ) 16.93 Balance, December 31, 2023 450,736 $ 17.62 6.1 $ — Exercisable at December 31, 2023 294,988 $ 19.04 5.2 $ — Vested and Expected to Vest December 31, 2023 450,736 $ 17.62 6.1 $ — The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the exercise price and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31. There were no options exercised during 2023. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2022 and 2021 was zero and $ 35.3 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options was approximately $ 0.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated by management on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. There were no stock options granted during 2023. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2022 and 2021 was $ 7.13 and $ 13.30 , respectively. The following are the average assumptions for the periods with options granted: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Expected Dividend Rate — % — % Expected Stock Price Volatility 60 % 65 % Risk-Free Interest Rate 2.6 % 1.0 % Expected Term of Options 5.5 years 5.5 years The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The volatilities are estimated for a period of time equal to the expected term of the related option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is determined by considering the contractual terms, vesting schedule and expectations of future employee behavior. Restricted Stock Awards The following table summarizes activity related to employee restricted stock awards ("RSAs"): Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Shares Value Nonvested, December 31, 2020 702,135 $ 11.36 Granted 251,647 23.03 Released ( 227,550 ) 12.05 Forfeited ( 95,771 ) 14.50 Nonvested, December 31, 2021 630,461 $ 15.29 Granted 455,598 14.63 Released ( 182,210 ) 14.60 Forfeited ( 266,742 ) 13.71 Nonvested, December 31, 2022 637,107 $ 15.68 Granted 2,234,086 3.78 Released ( 181,971 ) 14.50 Forfeited ( 469,069 ) 6.67 Nonvested, December 31, 2023 2,220,153 $ 5.68 Additionally, the Company’s non-employee directors are compensated with an annual RSA grant with a vesting period of one year. The amount of outstanding unvested RSAs granted to non-employee directors was 166,666 , 43,139 , and 18,306 shares on December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 , respectively. The RSAs granted to non-employee directors had weighted average grant date fair values of $ 3.30 , $ 11.01 , and $ 22.94 in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The fair value of restricted shares released during 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 0.9 million, $ 2.9 million and $ 6.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares was approximately $ 6.4 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years. The Company granted a target of 292,130 performance-based RSAs with a grant date fair value of $ 1.3 million during 2023 , a target of 94,621 performance-based awards with a grant date fair value of $ 1.5 million during 2022 , and a target of 47,768 performance-based awards with a grant date fair value of $ 1.1 million during 2021. The performance based RSAs were awarded to certain members of senior management in connection with the achievement of specific key financial metrics that will be measured over separate respective three-year periods and which will vest at the end of each respective three-year period if the respective performance conditions are met. The Company assesses the probability of achieving these metrics on a quarterly basis. For these awards, the Company recognizes the fair value expense ratably over the performance and vesting period. There were zero and 119,884 performance-based shares forfeited during 2023 and 2022 , respectively. Performance-based RSA grants, releases and forfeitures are included above in the Restricted Shares table. |

In 2023, the Company established a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded on its net deferred tax assets of $ 36.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, The Company was in a consolidated cumulative three-year loss position. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A reduction in the valuation allowance could result in a significant decrease in income tax expense in the period that the release is recorded. However, any adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance will depend on current year earnings and estimates of future taxable income and will be made in the period such determination is made. For 2023, we reported a $ 13.4 million income tax expense, or an effective rate of ( 14.9 ) %, compared to an income tax benefit of $ 1.5 million, or an effective rate of 10.8 % in 2022. The effective income tax rate was impacted by the establishment of a full valuation allowance in 2023. For 2021, the Company reported an income tax expense of $ 11.1 million, or an effective rate of 21.0 %. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had U.S federal net operating loss carryforward of $ 77 million and $ 20 million. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had state net operating loss carryforward of $ 89 million and $ 37 million, which begin to expire in 2026 . The deferred tax assets associated with the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards were fully offset by the valuation allowance. The Company had no foreign operating loss carryforwards on December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company paid income taxes (net of refunds) of $( 5.1 ) million, $ 4.8 million, and $ 11 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to Uncertain Tax Positions ($ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million net of federal tax benefit, respectively). It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months; however, the Company does not expect the change in uncertain tax positions to have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Balance at Beginning of Year $ 170 $ 375 Increase for Tax Positions Related to Current Year 5 95 Decrease for Tax Positions Related to Prior Years ( 1 ) ( 300 ) Settlements — — Balance at End of Year $ 174 $ 170 The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various states and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the year 2018, relating primarily to the reported federal net operating loss carryforwards in the filed 2018 Form 1120. As of December 31, 2023, there are no known liabilities associated with that audit. In February 2022, the Company received sales tax and use tax assessments from the Commonwealth of Virginia covering part of 2014 through 2017. The Company believes there are factual errors, is disputing this assessment, and will defend itself vigorously in this matter. The Company is pursuing an administrative appeal, which was filed on April 15, 2022. The Company continues to monitor this process and are awaiting a response to our appeal as of December 31, 2023. Upon careful consideration and examination, the Company computed and recorded a contingent liability for $ 0.3 million, included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated liability is adjusted upon the payment of sales tax related to the accrual, the changes in state tax laws that may impact the accrual and the expiration of the statute of limitations for open years under review. The liability includes significant judgments and estimates that may change in the future, and the actual liability may be different from our current estimate. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies The following chart shows the activity related to the Balance Sheet “Accrual for Legal Matters and Settlements-Current”. The matters themselves are described in greater detail in the paragraphs that follow the chart. December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 Litigation Matter Accrual for Legal Matters Settlement Vouchers Vouchers Accrual for Legal Matters Description and Settlements - Current Accruals Payments Redeemed Expired and Settlements - Current (in thousands) MDL $ 9,070 $ — $ — $ ( 2,115 ) $ ( 3,607 ) $ 3,348 Gold 12,864 — — ( 1,292 ) — $ 11,572 Other Matters 225 544 ( 345 ) — — $ 424 $ 22,159 $ 544 $ ( 345 ) $ ( 3,407 ) $ ( 3,607 ) $ 15,344 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Litigation Matter Accrual for Legal Matters Settlement Vouchers Vouchers Accrual for Legal Matters Description and Settlements - Current Accruals Payments Redeemed Expired and Settlements - Current (in thousands) MDL $ 10,656 $ — $ — $ ( 1,586 ) $ — $ 9,070 Gold 14,885 — — ( 2,021 ) — 12,864 Mason 7,000 129 ( 7,129 ) — — $ — Other Matters 1,070 174 ( 1,019 ) — — $ 225 $ 33,611 $ 303 $ ( 8,148 ) $ ( 3,607 ) $ — $ 22,159 Litigation Related to Formaldehyde-Abrasion MDLs In 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve claims related to Chinese-manufactured laminate products (the “Formaldehyde-Abrasion MDL”). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company funded $ 22.0 million in cash and provided $ 14.0 million in store-credit vouchers for an aggregate settlement amount of $ 36.0 million to settle claims. Cash and vouchers, which generally have a three-year life, were distributed by the administrator in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company will monitor and evaluate the redemption of vouchers on a quarterly basis. The Company intends for recipients to redeem their vouchers for product, as this compensation was provided as part of the legal settlement and is available for redemption until expiration. The rules on the expiration or escheat of any unused vouchers vary by state, and to the extent any expire unused, they will be terminated in accordance with those respective rules. As of December 31, 2023 , the remaining accrual related to these matters was $ 3.3 million for vouchers. As $ 2.1 million of vouchers were redeemed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 , the Company reduced the accrual for legal matters and settlements for the full amount, relieved inventory at its cost, and the remaining amount -- the gross margin for the items sold of $ 0.7 million was recorded as a reduction in “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses” (“SG&A”) on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company included those amounts in “MDL” in the chart above. As of December 31, 2023, of the $ 3.6 million of vouchers expired, $ 1.4 million expired and cannot be redeemed after expiration and was recorded as a reduction in SG&A. The remainder, or $ 2.2 million of the expired vouchers, are subject to escheatment and were reclassified as other liabilities accordingly. Litigation Relating to Bamboo Flooring In 2019, the Company finalized a settlement agreement to resolve claims related to Morning Star bamboo flooring (the “Gold Litigation”). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company contributed $ 14.0 million in cash and provided $ 16.0 million in store-credit vouchers, for an aggregate settlement of up to $ 30.0 million. Cash and vouchers, which generally have a three-year life, were distributed by the administrator in 2021. The Company will monitor and evaluate the redemption of vouchers on a quarterly basis. The Company’s current expectation is that recipients bargained for this compensation as part of the settlement and therefore will redeem their voucher for product as intended. As of December 31, 2023 , the remaining accrual related to these matters was $ 11.6 million for vouchers. As $ 1.3 million of vouchers were redeemed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 , the Company reduced the accrual for legal matters and settlements for the full amount, relieved inventory at its cost, and the remaining amount -- the gross margin for the items sold of $ 0.4 million was recorded as a reduction in SG&A on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company included those amounts in “Gold” in the chart above. Mason Lawsuit In the second quarter of 2022, the Company paid $ 7.1 million in settlement of a purported collective and class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all current and former store managers, store managers in training, and similarly situated current and former employees (collectively, the "Mason Putative Class Employees") alleging that the Company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and New York Labor Law ("NYLL") by classifying the Mason Putative Class Employees as exempt (the "Mason matter"). The alleged violations include failure to pay for overtime work. The Company included the amounts related to the Mason matter in the chart above. Antidumping and Countervailing Duties Investigation In October 2010, a conglomeration of domestic manufacturers of multilayered wood flooring (“Petitioners”) filed a petition seeking the imposition of antidumping (“AD”) and countervailing duties (“CVD”) with the United States Department of Commerce (“DOC”) and the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against imports of multilayered wood flooring from China. This ruling applies to companies importing multilayered wood flooring from Chinese suppliers subject to the AD and CVD orders. The Company’s multilayered wood flooring imports from China accounted for approximately 3.0 % and 4.9 % of its flooring purchases in 2023 and 2022, respectively. As part of its processes in these proceedings, the DOC conducts annual reviews of the AD and CVD rates. In such cases, the DOC will issue preliminary rates that are not binding and are subject to comment by interested parties. After consideration of the comments received, the DOC will issue final rates for the applicable period, which may lag by a year or more. At the time of import, the Company makes deposits at the then prevailing rate, even while the annual review is in process. When rates are declared final by the DOC, the Company recognizes a receivable or accrues a payable depending on where that final rate compares to the deposits it has made. The final rate amounts are not accrued by the Company until the DOC publishes these rates or the Company receives a notice from CBP, as such the rate amounts are not probable or reasonably estimable until that time. The Company and/or the domestic manufacturers can appeal the final rate for any period and, and the DOC can place a hold on final settlement by CBP while the appeals are pending. The Company as well as other involved parties have appealed many of the final rate determinations. Certain of those appeals are pending and, at times, have resulted in delays in settling the shortfalls and refunds. Because of the length of time for finalization of rates as well as appeals, any subsequent adjustment of AD and CVD rates typically flows through a period different from those in which the inventory was originally purchased and/or sold. During 2023, the Company received notice from CBP that its imports of multilayered hardwood from China for the antidumping review period of December 1, 2012 to November 30, 2013 would be assessed at a 49.84 % company-specific rate instead of the 3.92 % weighted average rate published in the Federal Register. The change from the published weighted average rate to the company-specific antidumping duty rate resulted in a $ 16.2 million additional antidumping duty expense, of which $ 10.7 million adjustment to cost of sales for the principal balance and an additional $ 5.5 million in interest. The outstanding AD and CVD principal balances are detailed in the table that follows under the corresponding consolidated balance sheet line item. These amounts represent what the Company would receive or pay (net of any collections or payments) as the result of subsequent adjustment to rates whether due to finalization by the DOC or because of action of a court based on appeals by various parties. These amounts do not include any initial amounts paid for AD or CVD in the current period at the in-effect rate at that time. The Company recorded net interest expense related to antidumping and countervailing duties of $ 5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to net interest income of $ 0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 . The amounts for both years are included in other expense on the Statements of Operations. The estimated associated interest payable and receivable for each period is not included in the principal amounts listed above and is included in the same financial statement line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as the associated liability and receivable balance for each period.

Multiple rates are listed if the timing of the DOC update to the deposit rate fell within the period, resulting in the remaining deposits for that period to be made at the updated rate. 2 These rates represent the current published weighted average rate after initial review or after finalization of the appeals process, with multiple rates listed if applied to different producers and/or exporters. 3 This is the published weighted average rate determined by the DOC for this period which is currently under appeal and, as a result, the period remains open. 4 This is the final published weighted average rate determined by the DOC after completion of the appeals process. Liquidation instructions have been issued, but CBP has not fully liquidated the entries in this period. As such, the period remains open. 5 This is the final published weighted average rate determined by the DOC after completion of the appeals process. This period of review has been completed and fully liquidated and is now closed. 6 In October 2023, the higher weighted average rate of 2.05 % offered by the DOC on appeal was accepted by the CIT for the seventh annual review period. The CVD appeals are still ongoing and entries won’t liquidate until both AD and CVD appeals are final. Section 301 Tariffs Since September 2018, pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) has imposed tariffs on certain goods imported from China over four tranches ("Lists"). Products imported by the Company fall within Lists 3 and 4a for which tariffs range from 10% to 25%. On September 10, 2020 several importers of vinyl flooring ("the plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit with the Court of International Trade ("CIT") challenging the Section 301 tariffs under Lists 3 and 4a and the USTR's actions. The Plaintiffs argued that the USTR had not acted within its statutory authority when it modified the original Section 301 determinations on certain goods from China by adding Lists 3 and 4a and that the agency had not demonstrated that it satisfied the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act. On March 17, 2023, the CIT issued a decision sustaining the List 3 and 4a tariffs. The CIT's decision was appealed by the plaintiffs to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") on May 13, 2023. If these appeals are successful, the Company may qualify for refunds on these Section 301 tariffs. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing or outcome of the ruling by the CAFC. Other Matters The Company is also, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of any such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, its ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. |

The Company also provides in-home delivery and installation services to its customers. The Company primarily sells to consumers or to Pros on behalf of consumers through a network of store locations in metropolitan areas. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s 437 stores spanned 47 states in the United States (“U.S.”). In addition to the store locations, the Company’s products may be ordered, and customer questions or concerns addressed, through both its customer contact center in Richmond, Virginia, and its digital platform, LLFlooring.com . |
Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The consolidated financial statements of LL Flooring Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company estimates that it has sufficient liquidity through amounts available under its forecasted cash flows from operations and Revolving Credit Facility to fund its working capital. The Company prepares its forecasted cash flow and liquidity estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 8.8 million and $ 10.8 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, of which there were zero on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settled, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle within the month to be cash and cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $ 6.3 million and $ 6.1 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. |
Credit Programs | Credit Programs Credit is offered to the Company’s customers through a credit card, underwritten by a third-party financial institution generally with no recourse to the Company. A credit line is offered to the Company’s professional customers through the LL Flooring Commercial Credit Program. This commercial credit program is underwritten by a third-party financial institution generally with no recourse to the Company. As part of the credit program, the Company’s customers may tender their LL Flooring credit card to receive installation services. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the variable rate of interest. |
Merchandise Inventories | Merchandise Inventories The Company values merchandise inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The method by which amounts are removed from inventory is weighted average cost. All of the hardwood flooring purchased from vendors is either prefinished or unfinished, and in immediate saleable form. The Company relies on a select group of international and domestic suppliers to provide imported flooring products that meet the Company’s specifications. The Company is subject to risks associated with obtaining products from abroad, including disruptions or delays in production, shipments, supply chain, delivery or processing, including due to trade restrictions. Inventory cost includes the costs of bringing an article to its existing condition and location such as shipping and handling and import tariffs. Included in merchandise inventories are tariff related costs, including Section 301 tariffs on certain products imported from China in recent years. The Company has deployed pricing, promotion, and alternative country sourcing strategies to mitigate tariff-related costs and improve gross margin. The Company continues to monitor the market to inform its pricing and promotional strategies. Inventory for the Company's soft surface offerings is also recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value and is removed from inventory at weighted average cost. The Company does not maintain carpet inventory in stock. Instead it relies on the logistics and distribution capabilities of its single source supplier to deliver inventory to the installers who install the Company's carpet product for its customers. All purchases made via purchase order are recorded as inventory when shipped from the suppliers location and the Company obtains control of the inventory. The Company maintains an inventory reserve for loss or obsolescence based on historical results and current sales trends. This reserve was $ 7.3 million and $ 5.5 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates potential impairment losses on long-lived assets and right-of-use assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired, and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. If impairment exists an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 1.3 million associated with stores it decided to close in 2023. There were no impairment losses recorded in 2022 or 2021. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represented the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired associated with acquisitions by the Company. The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the asset carrying value for the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The Company considered the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. The goodwill impairment tests were based on determining the fair value of the specified reporting unit. The valuation approaches were subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgments and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), and comparable company market multiples. When developing these key judgments and assumptions, the Company considered economic, operational and market conditions that would have impacted the fair value of the reporting unit. However, estimates are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectations regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates were based will, in all likelihood, differ in some respects from actual future results. |
Self-Insurance | Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for certain employee health benefit claims and for certain workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates a liability for aggregate losses below stop-loss coverage limits based on estimates of the ultimate costs to be incurred to settle known claims and claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on a number of assumptions and factors including historical and industry trends and economic conditions. This liability could be affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accruals of $ 4.3 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively, related to estimated claims included in other current liabilities. |
Recognition of Net Sales | Recognition of Net Sales The Company generates revenues primarily by retailing merchandise in the form of hard and soft surface flooring, carpet, and accessories. Additionally, the Company expands its revenues by offering services to deliver and/or install this merchandise for its customers; it considers these services to be separate performance obligations. The separate performance obligations are detailed on the customer’s invoice(s) and the customer often purchases flooring merchandise without purchasing installation or delivery services. Sales occur through the Company's network of 437 stores, which spanned 47 states on December 31, 2023, and its digital platform, LLFlooring.com . The Company’s agreements with its customers are of short duration (less than a year), and as such the Company has elected not to disclose revenue for partially satisfied contracts that will be completed in the days following the end of a period as permitted by GAAP. The Company reports its revenues exclusive of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities, consistent with past practice. Revenue is based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives from vendors. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer or performing service for a customer. Revenues from installation and freight services are recognized when the delivery is made or the installation is complete, which approximates the recognition of revenue over time due to the short duration of service provided. The price of the Company’s merchandise and services is specified in the respective contract and detailed on the invoice agreed to with the customer including any discounts. The Company generally requires customers to pay a deposit, equal to approximately half of the retail sales value, when ordering merchandise not regularly carried in a given location or not currently in stock. In addition, the Company generally does not extend credit to its customers with payment due in full at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or when the service is provided. Customer payments and deposits received in advance of the customer taking possession of the merchandise or receiving the services are recorded as deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet caption “Customer Deposits and Store Credits”. The following table shows the activity in this account for the periods noted: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 (in thousands) Customer Deposits and Store Credits, Beginning Balance $ ( 43,767 ) $ ( 67,063 ) $ ( 61,389 ) New Deposits ( 958,587 ) ( 1,159,279 ) ( 1,238,157 ) Recognition of Revenue 904,746 1,110,679 1,152,344 Sales Tax included in Customer Deposits 53,688 66,864 69,860 Other 4,452 5,032 10,279 Customer Deposits and Store Credits, Ending Balance $ ( 39,468 ) $ ( 43,767 ) $ ( 67,063 ) Subject to limitations under the Company’s policy, return of unopened merchandise is generally accepted for 90 days, subject to the discretion of the store manager. The amount of revenue recognized for flooring merchandise is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the Company’s historical data, current sales levels and forecasted economic trends. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate returns because it has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. The Company reduces revenue by the number of expected returns and records it within “Other Current Liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. The sales return reserve was $ 1.7 million and $ 2.2 million on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company recognizes a related asset for the right to recover returned merchandise and records it in the “Other Current Assets” caption of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.2 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes sales commissions as incurred since the amortization period is less than one year. In total, the Company offers hundreds of different flooring products; however, no single flooring product represented a significant portion of its sales mix. By major product category, the Company’s sales mix was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 (in thousands, except percentage data) Manufactured Products 1 $ 435,507 48 % $ 537,081 48 % $ 531,947 46 % Solid and Engineered Hardwood 211,207 23 % 261,602 24 % 291,458 25 % Moldings and Accessories and Other 2 129,952 15 % 159,244 14 % 170,538 15 % Installation and Delivery Services 128,080 14 % 152,752 14 % 158,401 14 % Total $ 904,746 100 % $ 1,110,679 100 % $ 1,152,344 100 % 1 Includes engineered vinyl plank, laminate, vinyl and tile. 2 Includes carpet. |
Cost of Sales | Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the cost of products sold, including tariffs, the cost of installation services, and transportation costs from vendors to the Company’s distribution centers or store locations. It also includes transportation costs from distribution centers to store locations, transportation costs for the delivery of products from store locations to customers, certain costs of quality control procedures, warranty and customer satisfaction costs, inventory adjustments including obsolescence and shrinkage, and costs to produce and ship samples, which are net of vendor allowances. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 , "Cost of Sales" on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) and income also included $ 6.3 million in incremental costs related to the vinyl flooring U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") detentions of vinyl flooring under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act ("UFLPA"). In September 2023, the Company also recorded an unfavorable $ 10.7 million 2012-2013 antidumping duty rate change to "Cost of Sales" on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. This adjustment is discussed further in Item 8, Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements below. The Company offers a range of limited warranties for the durability of the finish on its prefinished products to its services provided. These limited warranties range from one to 100 years , with lifetime warranties for certain of the Company’s products. Warranty reserves are based primarily on claims experience, sales history and other considerations, including payments made to satisfy customers for claims not directly related to the warranty on the Company’s products. Warranty costs are recorded in cost of sales. This reserve was $ 0.5 million and $ 1.0 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and recorded in "Other Current Liabilities" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company seeks recovery from its vendors and third-party independent contractors of installation services for certain amounts paid. Vendor allowances mostly consist of volume rebates and are accrued as earned, with those allowances received as a result of attaining certain purchase levels accrued over the incentive period based on estimates of purchases. Volume rebates earned are initially recorded as a reduction in merchandise inventories and a subsequent reduction in cost of sales when the related product is sold. Reimbursement received for the cost of producing samples is recorded as an offset against cost of sales. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs Advertising costs charged to selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, net of vendor allowances, were $ 62.8 million, $ 65.4 million and $ 61.9 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company uses various types of media to brand its name and advertise its products. Media production costs are generally expensed as incurred, except for direct mail, which is expensed when the finished piece enters the postal system. Media placement costs are generally expensed in the month the advertising occurs, except for contracted endorsements and sports agreements, which are generally expensed ratably over the contract period. Amounts paid in advance are included in prepaid expenses and totaled $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million on December 31, 2023 and 2022 , respectively. |
Store Opening Costs | Store Opening Costs Costs to open new store locations are charged to SG&A expenses as incurred, net of any vendor support. |
Other Vendor Consideration | Other Vendor Consideration Consideration from non-merchandise vendors, including royalties and rebates, are generally recorded as an offset to SG&A expenses when earned. |
Depreciation and Amortization | Depreciation and Amortization Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements are the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remainder of the lease terms. For leases with optional renewal periods for which renewal is not reasonably certain, the Company uses the original lease term, excluding optional renewal periods, to determine the appropriate estimated useful lives. Capitalized software costs are capitalized from the time that technological feasibility is established until the software is ready for use. The estimated useful lives are generally as follows: Years Buildings and Building Improvements 7 to 40 Property and Equipment 3 to 10 Computer Software and Hardware 3 to 10 Leasehold Improvements 1 to 10 |
Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined with the assistance of a third party. The operating lease ROU asset also is adjusted for any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease at certain dates, typically at the Company’s own discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company includes the renewal period in its lease term. Many of the Company’s leases include both lease (e.g., payments including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The Company made an accounting policy election that payments under agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included on the consolidated balance sheet but will be recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with ASC 718. The Company may issue incentive awards, including performance-based awards, in the form of stock options, restricted shares and other equity awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. The Company recognizes expense for the majority of its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. For awards granted to non-employee directors, expense is recognized based on the fair value of the award at the end of a reporting period. For performance-based awards granted to certain members of senior management, the Company recognizes expense after assessing the probability of the achievement of certain financial metrics on a periodic basis. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. Measured compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the entire related stock-based compensation award. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”). Income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method and consider differences between the tax and financial accounting bases. The tax effects of these differences are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred income taxes and measured using the effective tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company takes into account various factors, including the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, expected level of future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives. In future periods, any valuation allowance will be re-evaluated in accordance with ASC 740, and a change, if required, will be recorded through income tax expense in the period such determination is made. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of its position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. |
Net (Loss) Income per Common Share | Net (Loss) Income per Common Share Basic net (loss) income per common share is determined by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is determined by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and restricted shares. Common stock and common stock equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and release of restricted shares, except when the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. |
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2024 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU. In December, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, and 2) information on income taxes paid. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU. |

Multiple rates are listed if the timing of the DOC update to the deposit rate fell within the period, resulting in the remaining deposits for that period to be made at the updated rate. 2 These rates represent the current published weighted average rate after initial review or after finalization of the appeals process, with multiple rates listed if applied to different producers and/or exporters. 3 This is the published weighted average rate determined by the DOC for this period which is currently under appeal and, as a result, the period remains open. 4 This is the final published weighted average rate determined by the DOC after completion of the appeals process. Liquidation instructions have been issued, but CBP has not fully liquidated the entries in this period. As such, the period remains open. 5 This is the final published weighted average rate determined by the DOC after completion of the appeals process. This period of review has been completed and fully liquidated and is now closed. 6 In October 2023, the higher weighted average rate of 2.05 % offered by the DOC on appeal was accepted by the CIT for the seventh annual review period. The CVD appeals are still ongoing and entries won’t liquidate until both AD and CVD appeals are final. |
