Current report
Net sales were $459.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to net sales of $441.1 million in the prior year, an increase of $18.1 million or 4.1%. The increase in sales was primarily driven by $28.0 million of growth in soft seating products, partially offset by a $9.0 million decline in homestyles branded ready-to-assemble product sales and $0.9 million decline in Flexsteel branded casegoods.
Current report
Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2026, was 24.7%, compared to 22.2% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 250 basis points (“bps”). The 250-bps increase was primarily driven by a 200-bps benefit from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") Tariff Refunds received and to a lesser extent favorable mix driven by product and customer portfolio optimization initiatives.
Current report
On July 31, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order intended to clarify certain matters related to previously issued executive orders on tariffs. This executive order included, among other things, an increase in the country specific tariff from 10% to 20% on goods imported from Vietnam. Accordingly, both our seating and case goods products sourced from Vietnam were subject to tariffs under IEEPA during this period. In addition, beginning in October 2025, substantially all of the seating products we source from Vietnam and manufacture in Mexico became subject to a 25% tariff under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 pursuant to the Presidential Proclamation Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and their Derivative Products into the United States. For these seating products, the Section 232 tariff superseded the previously applicable IEEPA tariffs. Our case goods products sourced from Vietnam continued to be subject to the applicable IEEPA tariffs until February 2026, when the U.S. Supreme Court held that the tariffs imposed under IEEPA exceeded the authority granted under that statute. Following the Supreme Court's decision, a temporary 10% global import surcharge was imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and became applicable to our case goods products sourced from Vietnam. On July 24, 2026, the U.S. implemented a new tariff framework under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The new framework imposes tariffs of either 10% or 12.5% on imports from certain trading partners, including Vietnam. This Section 301 tariff applies to bedroom, dining and occasional casegood products we source from Vietnam. The majority of our seating products sourced from Vietnam and manufactured in Mexico remain subject to the 25% Section 232 tariffs which, under the existing proclamation, is scheduled to increase to 30% effective January 1, 2027, unless modified prior to that date, and are generally not subject to the additional Section 301 tariffs. In addition, as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's February 2026 decision regarding the IEEPA tariff program, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered the U.S. government to process refunds of tariffs collected under the IEEPA tariff program. These refunds relate only to tariffs imposed under the IEEPA authority and do not affect the Section 232 tariffs that continue to apply to the majority of the Company's upholstered seating products.
Current report
Subsequent to fiscal year end, on August 18, 2026 the Company, as the borrower, entered into a new $30.0 million secured revolving credit facility that replaces the Credit Agreement. The new facility reduces the Company's maximum borrowing capacity from $55.0 million to $30.0 million but extends availability with a new maturity date of August 18, 2029 and is expected to better align with current needs and adequately support the Company’s anticipated future requirements for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Current report
Our focus for fiscal year 2027 will be to continue to operate with agility, maintain disciplined cost control, protect our financial position, and invest in the capabilities that we believe will drive long-term growth and shareholder value creation.

Previous report
On July 31, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order intended to clarify certain matters related to previously issued executive orders on tariffs. This executive order included, among other things, a country specific tariff of 20% on goods imported from Vietnam. The current situation is dynamic, and it is unknown if the United States and its trade partners will reach an agreement to further pause or adjust the current tariffs. Depending on our ability to mitigate these tariffs, they could have a material impact on our future net sales, cost of goods sold, profit and cash flow. The ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated as well as our ability to successfully mitigate the potential impact. The Company is assessing options to mitigate any potential impact, which includes supply chain adjustments, negotiating concessions with current suppliers, and pricing actions.
Previous report
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a number of provisions which impact the United States tax code. These regulations impacting the tax code have multiple effective dates ranging from fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025, to fiscal years beginning January 1, 2027. The Company has not adjusted its provision for income tax or measurement of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025, based on the changes that may be triggered by the OBBBA due to the law being signed on July 4, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA but does not expect it to have a material impact on our future financial position and results of operations.

There was $3.0 million in restructuring expenses recorded in the year ended June 30, 2024, associated with the previously announced closure of the Dublin, Georgia manufacturing facility.

Previous report
Restructuring Costs – The Company groups exit or disposal cost obligations into three categories: Involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits must be a one-time benefit, and this element of restructuring cost is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon the effectiveness of the termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any inventory impairment costs as a result of restructuring activities are accounted for as costs of goods sold.

As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 17.1% in fiscal year 2024 compared to 16.0% of net sales in the prior fiscal year.
