“I’m pleased with the team’s execution during the quarter, which contributed to a sequential improvement in our comparable store sales results. We continue to see softness in existing home sales and resulting lower traffic in our stores, which contributed to a decrease in comparable store sales from the second quarter of 2023. Recent actions to enhance our Superior line of installation products and expand the selection of tile products that cater to customers seeking to complete smaller projects are showing promising early results.”

(2) The comparable store sales operating metric is the percentage change in sales of comparable stores period over period. A store is considered comparable on the second day of the 13th full month of operation. When a store is relocated, it is excluded from the comparable store sales calculation. Comparable store sales include total charges to customers less any actual returns. The Company includes the change in allowance for anticipated sales returns applicable to comparable stores in the comparable store sales calculation.SECOND QUARTER 2024
Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $7.2 million, or 7.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Sales decreased at comparable stores by 6.9% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 principally due to a decrease in traffic.Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $3.0 million, or 4.7%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The gross margin rate increased to 66.0% during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to 64.2% during the second quarter 2023. The improvement in the gross margin rate was primarily due to decreases in product costs.Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 5.2%, from $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $58.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was partially due to a $1.3 million increase in bonus expenses which is primarily attributable to a onetime benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2023 to reduce certain bonus and long-term incentive accruals that was not repeated in 2024. Additionally, occupancy costs increased by $0.7 million due to an increase in rent expense associated with leases that were extended over the last year, information technology expenses increased by $0.7 million due to an increase in software licensing costs, and marketing expenditures increased by $0.4 million due to an increase in digital advertising expenditures during the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. These factors were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $0.7 million decrease in variable compensation costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $0.9 million of asset impairment charges in connection with the write-down of certain store assets.Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income tax was due to a decrease in pretax income. The Company’s effective tax rate was 32.1% and 28.1% in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to a decrease in pre-tax income and the disproportionate impact of certain permanent items.Capital Structure and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on its $75.0 million line of credit and cash and cash equivalents of $25.3 million.NON-GAAP INFORMATION

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusting for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates Pretax Return on Capital Employed by taking income (loss) from operations divided by capital employed. Capital employed equals total assets less accounts payable, income taxes payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liability and other long-term liabilities. Other companies may calculate both Adjusted EBITDA and Pretax Return on Capital Employed differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Company performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, for budgeting and planning purposes and for assessing the effectiveness of capital allocation over time. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
