Unified Vision and Long-Term Potential
In 2013, we remain focused and united on these initiatives to deliver growth, a portion of which is
continually reinvested in new opportunities. Lumber Liquidators is a growth retailer with a powerful store model
and a strong and unique value proposition that resonates with our customers. As we move forward, we believe
we are well-positioned to further expand our store base and increase our market footprint with our “store of the
future” concept, initially implemented in the first quarter of 2013. Coupled with a more quantitative real estate
strategy focused on market optimization and a continuing investment in our proprietary brands, we will continue
to aggressively pursue market share domestically and internationally. With the best team in place, continued
emphasis on our strategic initiatives and the ongoing enhancement of our unique value proposition, we believe
Lumber Liquidators is poised to continue to deliver multi-year expansion of our net sales and operating margin.
We would like to thank all of our associates in the U.S., Canada and Shanghai for their dedication and
ongoing efforts, as well as our customers, vendors and shareholders for their continued support. We continue to
have great confidence in the team, in our ability to continue our momentum, and in the opportunities that lie
ahead.
