“As gratifying as new store openings are, our primary focus is on improving the profitability of our current store base. Adjustments to our media mix, localized marketing, enhancements to our website, and associate training have yielded higher in-store closing rates. Our product mix, in-home design service, and suggested complimentary merchandise has resulted in ten straight quarters of increases in average ticket over comparable periods.

SG&A Expense Classification
We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary. Our variable expenses are comprised of selling and delivery costs. Selling expenses are primarily compensation and related benefits for our commission based sales associates, the discount we pay for third party financing of customer sales and transaction fees for credit card usage. We do not outsource delivery so these costs include personnel, fuel, and other expenses related to this function. Fixed and discretionary expenses are comprised of rent, depreciation and amortization and other occupancy costs for stores, warehouses and offices, and all advertising and administrative costs.
