Note 1: Background



Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings,” and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2012.



The Company is a specialty retailer of natural stone and man-made tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in the United States.  The Company manufactures its own setting and maintenance materials, such as thinset, grout, and sealers. The Company’s primary market is retail sales to consumers, contractors, designers and home builders. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 140 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia, with an average size of approximately 20,200 square feet. The Company has distribution centers located in Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wisconsin. The Company has a sourcing operation located in China.



The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature, including the elimination of all intercompany transactions. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.



These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in such Form 10-K.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements



In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a final standard that primarily requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the rights and obligations created by those leases on the consolidated balance sheet.  This standard also requires expanded disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. 



The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right of use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The right of use assets and 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 uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset is also 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 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.



This standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition.  The Company elected the package of three practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within this standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification.  The Company did not separate non-lease components from lease components by class of underlying assets and the Company did not apply the recognition requirements of the standard to short-term leases, as allowed by the standard.



The Company also elected to apply the hindsight practical expedient.  Its election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements.  In its application of the hindsight practical expedient, the Company considered recent investments in leased properties and its overall real estate strategy, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.  



Upon adopting this standard, the Company established a right of use asset of $147.2 million and lease liabilities of $169.9 million, reduced deferred rent by $44.6 million, and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $22.0 million. This retained earnings impact was due to the election of the hindsight practical expedient which resulted in a decrease in the cumulative difference between the straight-line rent expense and rental payments that had been made between the inception of each lease and January 1, 2019. The change in the useful life assigned to certain leasehold improvements resulted in a $15.3 million reduction in fixed assets and retained earnings.  The net impact of the cumulative effect adjustments also resulted in a $1.7 million reduction of

deferred tax assets and a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings that was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on net income or cash flows during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 8 for further details.



Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted



In June 2016, the FASB issued a final standard on accounting for credit losses. The standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020 and requires a change in credit loss calculations using the expected loss method. The Company is evaluating the effect of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  



In August 2018, the FASB issued a final standard which provides guidance on the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The standard requires customers of cloud computing services to recognize an intangible asset for the software license and, to the extent that payments attributable to the software license are made over time, a liability is also recognized. The standard also allows customers of cloud computing services to capitalize certain implementation costs. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard will become effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is evaluating the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.





Note 2: Revenues



Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues. 



The following table presents revenues disaggregated by product category:





The Company generates revenues by selling tile products, setting and maintenance materials, accessories, and delivery services to its customers through its store locations.  The timing of revenue recognition coincides with the transfer of control of goods and services ordered by the customer which falls into one of three categories described below:



 





The Company determines the transaction price of its contracts based on the pricing established at the time a customer places an order.  The transaction price does not include sales tax as the Company is a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax.  Any discounts applied to an order are allocated proportionately to the base price of the goods and services ordered.  Deposits made by customers are recorded in other accrued liabilities. Deferred revenues associated with customer deposits are recognized at the time the Company transfers control of the items ordered or renders the delivery service. In the event an order is partially fulfilled as of the end

---

 

of a reporting period, revenue will be recognized based on the transaction price allocated to the goods delivered and services rendered. The customer deposit balance was $7.8 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Revenues recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that were included in the customer deposit balance as of the beginning of the period were $7.1 million.



Accounts receivable include amounts due from qualified professional customers who apply for credit.  Customers who qualify for an account receive 30-day payment terms. The accounts receivable balance was $4.6 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company expects that the customer will pay for the goods and services ordered within one year from the date the order is placed.  Accordingly, the Company qualifies for the practical expedient outlined in ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the financing component. 



Customers may return purchased items for an exchange or refund.  The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns based on the historical returns trends and the current product sales performance.  Historically, the sales returns reserve was presented net of cost of sales in other current liabilities. The Company presents the sales returns reserve as an other current liability and the estimated value of the inventory that will be returned as an other current asset in the consolidated balance sheet.  The components of the sales returns reserve reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:













Note 3: Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the weighted-average cost method) or net realizable value. Inventories consist primarily of merchandise held for sale. Inventories were comprised of the following as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:





The Company provides provisions for losses related to shrinkage and other amounts that are otherwise not expected to be fully recoverable. These provisions are calculated based on historical shrinkage, selling price, margin and current business trends. The provision for losses related to shrinkage and other amounts was $0.8 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 



Note 4: Income Taxes



The Company's effective tax rate on net income (loss) before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 16.5% and 20.3%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate on net income (loss) before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 265.7% and 26.5%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $0.3 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes is due to lower pretax earnings.



The Company records interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions, nor have interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions been accrued.

Note 5: Earnings Per Share



Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after taking into consideration all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period.



Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:





















Note 6: Other Accrued Liabilities



Other accrued liabilities consisted of the following:





 

Note 7: Long-term Debt



On September 18, 2018, Holdings and its operating subsidiary, The Tile Shop, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Fifth Third Bank and Citizens Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior credit facility consisting of a $100.0 million revolving line of credit through September 18, 2023. Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement initially bear interest at a rate of adjusted LIBOR plus 1.75% and may bear interest in a range between adjusted LIBOR plus 1.50% to adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25%, depending on The Tile Shop’s consolidated total rent adjusted leverage ratio. At September 30, 2019 the base interest rate was 6.00% and the LIBOR-based interest rate was 4.02%. Borrowings outstanding consisted of $63.0 million on the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2019.  In addition, the Company has standby letters of credit outstanding related to its workers compensation and medical insurance policies. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the standby letters of credit totaled $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. There was $35.7 million available for borrowing on the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2019, which may be used to support the Company’s growth and for working capital purposes.



The Credit Agreement is secured by virtually all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to, inventory, receivables, equipment and real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, conditions to borrowings, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, incur additional debt, incur liens, or make investments. The Credit Agreement also includes financial and other covenants, including covenants to maintain certain fixed charge coverage ratios and consolidated total rent adjusted leverage ratios.  The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2019.

Note 8: Leases



The Company leases its retail stores, certain distribution space, and office space. Leases generally have a term of ten to fifteen years, and contain renewal options. Assets acquired under operating leases are included in the Company’s right of use assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term.







(1) Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance, and common area or other maintenance costs for the Company’s leased facilities.







































Note 9: Fair Value of Financial Instruments



Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, the Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:



Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.



Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:
