CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
This report includes statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs that constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. These statements, which
involve risks and uncertainties, relate to matters such as sales growth, comparable store net sales, impact of cannibalization,
price changes, earnings performance, stock-based compensation expense, margins, return on invested capital, strategic
direction, the demand for our products and store openings. We have used words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,”
“intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “thinks,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “could,” “projects,” “potential” and
other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, in this report to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are
subject to uncertainties, risks and factors relating to our operations and business environments, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and other factors include those listed in this Item 1A.
“Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this report.
When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this report
and the documents incorporated by reference. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and we cannot predict
those events or how they may affect us. There may also be other factors that we cannot anticipate or that are not described in
this report that could cause results to differ materially from our expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date they are made and we assume no obligation to update them after the date of this report as a result of new
information, future events or subsequent developments, except as required by the federal securities laws.
Unless otherwise stated, references to “we,” “our” and “Lumber Liquidators” generally refers to Lumber Liquidators
Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
