TOANO, Va, August 5, 2009 – Lumber Liquidators, Inc., (NYSE: LL) the largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring in the U.S., today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Second Quarter Results

Net sales increased $15.1 million, or 11.8%, to $143.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $128.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. Comparable store net sales decreased 1.8% for the quarter, in comparison to an increase of 2.7% for the second quarter of the prior year and a decrease of 5.8% for the first quarter of 2009. Non-comparable store net sales increased $17.3 million over the prior year period. The Company opened eight new stores during the second quarter.

Gross margin increased to 35.3% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 34.6% in the same period of 2008. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to continued changes in product line sales mix, as well as a continued shift by customers to premium products within the product lines. In addition, the continued execution of operational initiatives, including improvements within store operations, merchandising and logistics, contributed to gross margin expansion, as well as generally lower fuel costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $39.2 million, or 27.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $34.9 million, or 27.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2008. The slight increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales reflects both new store growth and continued investment in the Company’s infrastructure to drive long-term margin expansion. These increases were effectively offset by the Company’s continued ability to leverage national advertising spend.

Net income increased 18.1% to $6.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $5.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of the prior year. The effective tax rate was 39.6% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 38.0% in the second quarter of 2008 due primarily to increases in certain state income taxes and a reduction in tax-exempt interest income.

Jeffrey W. Griffiths, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our ability to maintain our momentum and generate strong second quarter results. We continued to drive increases in traffic and gain market share despite the current economic environment by leveraging the appeal of Lumber Liquidators’ value proposition. We expanded our footprint, successfully entering seven new markets during the quarter. Further, by continuing to make the right investments in our infrastructure, we have achieved additional operational efficiencies and continued to expand our operating margin. Overall, we are very pleased with our team’s ongoing ability to execute on our business plan.”

First Six Months Results

Net sales increased 10.1% to $267.0 million in the first six months of 2009 from $242.6 million in the first six months of 2008. Comparable store net sales decreased 3.7% for the first half of 2009, compared to an increase of 4.7% for the first half of the prior year. Non-comparable store net sales increased $33.2 million over the prior year. The Company opened 18 new stores during the first six months of 2009 and currently operates 168 stores in 45 states.

Gross margin increased to 35.6% in the first half of 2009 compared to 34.8% in the same period of 2008. SG&A expenses were $75.5 million, or 28.3% of net sales for the first half of 2009 compared to $67.2 million, or 27.7% of net sales for the first half of 2008.

Net income increased 18.1% to $12.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the first half of 2009 compared to $10.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the first half of the prior year. Net income for the first six months of 2009 reflects an effective tax rate of 39.4% compared to 41.8% in the first six months of 2008.

Company Outlook

Based upon year-to-date results and current visibility, the Company has updated its fiscal 2009 expectations. The Company now expects the following:

• Net sales for the full year in the range of $528 million to $538 million compared to the previously expected range of $515 million to $530 million.

• A decrease in comparable store net sales in the low-single digit range, compared to a decrease in comparable store net sales in the low to mid-single digit range.

• Full year 2009 earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.85 to $0.91, based on a diluted share count of 27.7 million shares, compared to the previously expected range of $0.76 to $0.86 based on a diluted share count of 27.5 million shares.

• The opening of 14 to 18 new store locations in the second half of the year, for a total of 32 to 36 new store locations in 2009, compared to a previous range of 30 to 36 new store locations.

Mr. Griffiths concluded, “While there are still challenges ahead, we are beginning to see signs of stabilization in the marketplace and we are pleased with where we stand at the midpoint of the year. The operational improvements that we have made in our business have enabled us to achieve strong financial results and increase our cash position through very challenging economic times. We plan to continue to invest in our infrastructure, including information technology and product procurement and allocation, to ensure that we are well-positioned to execute on our long-term growth strategy. Our value proposition continues to resonate well with consumers in this environment and, as we look to the back half of the year, we are confident in our ability to continue to improve our operations, expand our operating margin, drive traffic, and grow our footprint.”
