Query-and-Reply Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] We’ve a query from Theodore O’Neill, Litchfield Hills Analysis.
Theodore O’Neill
Thanks very a lot. Only a query on Salomon Whitney disposition. It looks as if I solely have the ability to internet these two issues collectively, the settlement and the loss, however you have obtained a damaged out individually, so there have to be a motive for that. Are you able to give us just a bit historical past of — somewhat extra info what the settlement is about?
David Verret
So simply from an accounting standpoint, the loss is simply associated to disposing of the asset, deconsolidating. And in order that requires a separate line merchandise and the settlement acquire. We offered some disclosures in our 10-Q associated to the settlement. However I assume what I am going to say in regards to the settlement settlement is — that settlement settlement, we mainly pursuant to that written settlement that we imagine is in one of the best curiosity of Stay and its shareholders that we shut — that we closed the operations, a spherical down operations to Salomon Whitney. And in keeping with that settlement, we’re restricted on what we will focus on. So actually what I wish to do is simply refer you over to our disclosures in our 10-Q.
Theodore O’Neill
Okay. I learn the QA, I used to be simply on the lookout for some info, however that is positive.
David Verret
If you happen to take a look at the press launch that we revealed and go all the way down to adjusted EBITDA, you will see a breakdown there, and it’ll say Salomon Whitney monetary settlement acquire and disposition, you will notice that occasion matter fairly simply.
Theodore O’Neill
Sure, okay. And also you form of — you talked in regards to the Flooring enterprise and the Retail enterprise and having lowered buyer demand. Is there something idiosyncratic about that that is occurring? Or is that simply form of a basic financial?
David Verret
It will be kind of of basic financial circumstances. I imply the one different factor I’d add is throughout 2020 and 2021, there was a number of — there was an honest enhance in revenues. Lots of people have been getting house remodels and issues like that. So between that and simply general basic financial circumstances and what we’re seeing is form of proper according to our pure firm.
Jon Isaac
I’d say, Theodore, if you happen to went and checked out corporations of much like what we do, take a look at extra numbers, it is going to paint a really clear image. And LL Flooring revealed their numbers yesterday, you will see that their same-store gross sales are down 22%. I feel that we’re outperforming the final market, however that’s my opinion.
