LUMBER LIQUIDATORS (LL, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2012-06-30.
Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc has a market cap of $939.2 million; its shares were traded at around $32.58 with a P/E ratio of 33.4 and P/S ratio of 1.4. Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc had an annual average earning growth of 18.2% over the past 5 years.
Operating income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased $11.1 million over the second quarter of 2011 as the $18.8 million increase in gross profit discussed above was partially offset by a $7.6 million increase in SG&A expenses. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $15.1 million over the same period in 2011 as the $31.1 million increase in gross profit discussed above was partially offset by a $16.0 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increases in SG&A expenses were principally due to the following factors:
Salaries, commissions and benefits increased $5.3 million and $10.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, salaries, commissions and benefits increased to 12.0% and 12.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, from 11.3% and 11.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These increases were due primarily to significantly higher accruals related to our management bonus plan, an increase in certain benefit costs and higher commission rates earned by our store management.
Advertising expenses increased $0.7 million to $15.7 million, or 7.5% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $15.0 million, or 8.6% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, advertising expenses increased $1.7 million to $29.9 million, or 7.5% of net sales, down from 8.4% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We continued to both leverage our national advertising campaigns over a larger store base and reallocate our advertising to more effective media channels, increasing our reach and frequency.
Occupancy costs increased $1.0 million to $7.4 million, or 3.5% of net sales, in the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $6.4 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, occupancy costs increased $2.0 million to $14.9 million, or 3.8% of net sales, from $12.9 million, or 3.8% of net sales, for the first six months of 2011. Higher net sales more than offset cost increases due to store base growth and certain incremental warehousing and distribution costs.
