Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS –Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Flexsteel,” or “Our”) is one of the largest residential furniture manufacturers, importers, and marketers in the U.S. Flexsteel addresses different consumer groups through our core brand, Flexsteel, and several category-specific sub-brands: Zecliner, Statements, Zen, Perfect Match, and Pulse, all of which have unique value propositions tailored to specific consumer needs. We offer a wide assortment of product solutions for different areas within the home including stationary and motion sofas, loveseats, chairs, and sectionals, as well as bedroom furniture, dining tables and chairs, occasional and entertainment tables, and kitchen storage. For more than 130 years, Flexsteel has strived to create strong consumer value with unmatched quality, comfort, and durability, backed by innovation and highlighted by its patented Blue Steel Spring technology, designed to deliver lasting comfort and support. Today, Flexsteel products are available nationwide through retail partners and online channels.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE – The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Under GAAP, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels based on the inputs used in the valuation:: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.

INVENTORIES – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first‑in - first‑out (“FIFO”) method. Cost of manufactured inventory includes materials, freight, import duties and tariffs, labor and overhead. In addition, sourced finished goods inventory includes the purchase price of the product and capitalized freight, import duties and tariffs, and warehousing costs. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company’s inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

VALUATION OF LONG–LIVED ASSETS – The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – Assets held for sale represent land, buildings, machinery and equipment for locations that have met the criteria of “held for sale” accounting, as specified by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Once an asset is classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciating the asset. The assets held for sale are being marketed for sale and it is the Company’s intention to complete the sale of the assets within the upcoming year.

LEASES – The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. See Note 2, Leases, for the Company’s lease disclosures.

WARRANTY – The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We generate revenue primarily by manufacturing and delivering furniture products to independent furniture retailers in the United States. Each unit of furniture is a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations when control of our product is passed to our customer, which is the point in time that our customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit of the goods or services. Net sales consist of product sales and outbound shipping and handling charges for customer deliveries, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is reduced by appropriate allowances, estimated returns, price concessions, or similar adjustments as applicable. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts, and allowances are variable considerations and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon historical data and discount percentages, set with each customer. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A).

The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees, and not as variable consideration related to revenue.

Occasionally, the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within “Accounts payable - trade” in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company had $0.44 million and $0.25 million of customer deposits as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company follows the following practical expedients and policy elections:

The Company does not adjust contract prices for the effects of a significant financing component, as it expects the period when the goods or services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less than a year.

Costs for outbound shipping and handling activities that occur after the product is received in the Company’s distribution centers, but before the customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment activities. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue. Inbound shipping and handling activities incurred to transport product to the Company’s distribution centers is expensed when the product is received by the Company, unless there are revenue surcharges to recover such costs, in which case these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commissions, are recorded as an SG&A expense when incurred.

All taxes imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, and franchise taxes are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price.

ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade-advertising programs, were approximately $5.5 million, $3.4 million, and $5.9 millionin fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

DESIGN, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. Expenditures for design, research, and development costs were approxima tely $2.6 million, $2.1 million, and $2.1 million in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

INSURANCE – The Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third-party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of$175,000 per plan year. For workers’ compensation, the Company retains the first $250,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The Company records these insurance accruals within “Accrued liabilities – insurance” on the consolidated balance sheets.

INCOME TAXES – The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – Basic EPS of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted EPS of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method; all options are anti-dilutive when there is a loss. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested shares based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal year were the end of the contingency period. In computing EPS, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:

Stock options101100117
Long-term incentive plan230329232
Diluted shares5,4565,6785,519
Anti-dilutive shares3637

STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes long-term incentive compensation plan expenses during the three-year performance periods; stock awards are issued following the end of the performance periods and are subject to verification of results and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval. See Note 11, Stock-Based Compensation.

SEGMENT REPORTING – The Company operates asone operating segment andone reportable segment, furniture products. The Company’s operations involve the distribution of manufactured and imported furniture for the residential market. The Company’s furniture products are sold primarily throughout the United States by the Company’s internal sales force and various independent representatives. The Company has minimal export sales, primarily to Canada or Mexico. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. See Note 12, Segment Information.

TREASURY STOCK – Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has purchased a total of 4,522,313 shares at a cost of $135.5 million under approved share repurchase programs and has $28.6 million remaining in the share repurchase program approved in December 2024.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted this guidance effective as of the end of fiscal 2026. The adoption affected the Company's income tax disclosures but did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information.

  1. LEASES

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, the remaining balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment. Both the lease ROU asset and lease liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.

The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Some of the Company’s leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.

For purposes of measuring the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company’s line of credit. Some of the Company’s leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

In July 2022, Flexsteel commenced a 12-year lease for a manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico to support strong demand growth which was elevated due to pandemic-driven buying at that time. Subsequently, U.S. furniture demand reverted to pre-pandemic norms, and the Company’s plan for the facility pivoted to subleasing the space short-term while maintaining the option to utilize it longer term to support growth. While the Company secured multiple short-term sublease tenants at the beginning of the lease term, substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 created significant uncertainty in US-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. As a result, management concluded that the right of use asset related to this lease was not fully recoverable and recorded a pre-tax, non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The fair value of the right of use asset on March 31, 2025, was estimated under the income approach using a discounted cash flow technique, including assumptions for future sublease rental income and an appropriate discount rate. This technique involves estimates and uncertainties and actual results could differ. The impairment charge is included within operating income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under right-of-use asset impairment.

For the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company evaluated the triggering events described in ASC 360-10-35-21 and considered current operating, market, legal and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that no new events or changes in circumstances occurred during the year that would indicate the carrying amount of the Mexicali ROU asset may not be recoverable. Accordingly, management determined that an additional recoverability test under ASC 360 was not required. The remaining carrying value of the Mexicali ROU asset, after reflecting normal current-year lease accounting activity, lease was $12.4 million as of June 30, 2026. No impairment was recognized during the year.

The components of the Company’s leases reflected on the Company’s consolidated statements of income were as follows:

  1. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement has afive-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities. As of June 30, 2026, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On April 18, 2022, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement (“First Amendment to the Credit Agreement”), with the Lender and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term ‘Payment Conditions’ and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61%, or an effective interest rate of 4.98% on June 30, 2026.

On June 3, 2025, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement ("Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The amendment reduced the maximum revolving line of credit amount to $55 million and modified certain definitions in the Credit Agreement which include dollar figures derived from the maximum revolver amount. The Company initiated the amendment to better align with current and projected borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2026, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding at the Lender as of June 30, 2026, totaled $0.9 million.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that they believe the assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), enacted into law on July 4, 2025, introduced significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws. The OBBBA made permanent certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 (TCJA) and modified other provisions of the TCJA, as well as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”). These changes included the permanent extension of 100% “bonus” depreciation for certain property, the permanent restoration of the tax-basis EBITDA-based limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense subject to certain modifications to the computation of tax-basis EBITDA, and the immediate expensing of qualified domestic research and development expenses. The OBBBA contained various effective dates with certain provisions becoming effective in 2025 and others in 2026 and beyond. The Company has reflected the impact of the OBBBA on current and deferred income taxes in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
