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.
References to ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ and ‘‘Lumber Liquidators’’ generally refers to Lumber Liquidators Holdings,
Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively and, where applicable, individually.
