The non-GAAP information presented provides additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it allows comparison of operational performance for the comparable period. Additionally, we believe that gross profit margin, excluding the impact of LIFO, is a meaningful measure to share because it removes the volatility created by LIFO adjustments resulting from the tariff-related U.S. policy changes in 2025.Reconciliation of GAAP measures to EBITDA Twelve Months Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2025 2024 Income before income taxes, as reported $26,833 $26,153 Interest income, net (5,120) (6,082)Depreciation 23,822 21,611 EBITDA $45,535 $41,682 Gross profit margin, excluding the impact of LIFO Three Months Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2025 2024 Net sales $201,919 $184,353 Cost of goods sold 79,871 70,196 Gross profit $122,048 $114,157 LIFO Adjustment 3,895 (900)Gross Profit, excluding the impact of LIFO $125,943 $113,257 Gross Profit Margin, excluding the impact of LIFO 62.4% 61.4% Twelve Months Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2025 2024 Net sales $758,995 $722,899 Cost of goods sold 298,498 283,821 Gross profit $460,497 $439,078 LIFO Adjustment 4,649 (807)Gross Profit, excluding the impact of LIFO $465,146 $438,271 Gross Profit Margin, excluding the impact of LIFO 61.3% 60.6%Comparable Store Sales?
Comparable-store or "comp-store" sales is a measure which indicates the performance of our existing stores and website by comparing the sales growth for stores and online for a particular month over the corresponding month in the prior year. Stores are considered non-comparable if they were not open during the corresponding month or if the selling square footage has been changed significantly.Cost of Goods Sold and SG&A Expense?
We include substantially all our occupancy and home delivery costs in SG&A expense as well as a portion of our warehousing expenses.? Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.?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.?Conference Call Information
