Lumber Liquidators Is Accused of Overstating Ability to Meet Quality Standards
According to the complaint, shares of Lumber Liquidators dropped over 21% to close at $55.25 on July 10, 2014, after the company issued a press announcing that it would miss its estimated second quarter revenues by more than 13% and its earnings by 30%. According to the press release cited to in the complaint, the company's poor performance resulted from "lower than planned inventory levels," which contradicted the company's prior assurances that it could meet demand for its wood flooring products by adding or removing vendors as needed.
The complaint further alleges that Lumber Liquidators made false and/or misleading statements regarding the inability of a significant number of mills to satisfy the company's quality assurance requirements. As a result, the company would be required to discount alternative merchandise, eroding its profit margins.
