Current report
General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately 5.0% to $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation in our Retail-Entertainment and Flooring Manufacturing segments and by higher compensation and professional fees at the corporate level. These increases were partially offset by lower G&A expense in our Retail-Flooring segment, primarily due to reduced compensation, as well as lower G&A expense in our Steel Manufacturing segment due mainly to reduced depreciation and other costs.

Revenue decreased approximately $10.7 million, or 3.2%, to $320.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $331.1 million in the prior-year period. Revenue decreased primarily due to a decline of approximately $22.6 million in the Retail-Flooring segment, partially offset by increases of approximately $7.5 million in the Retail-Entertainment segment, $2.3 million in the Flooring Manufacturing segment, and $2.1 million in the Steel Manufacturing segment.
Current report
Sales and marketing expense was essentially unchanged for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior-year period.
Current report
Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $31.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.8 million, or 2.8%, compared to $31.0 million in the prior-year period. Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, increased approximately $1.1 million compared to the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 25.8%, compared to 27.6% in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased raw material and other input costs. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $2.5 million, compared to $2.7 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced gross margins, partially offset by lower operating expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives.
Current report
Corporate and Other segment operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $0.9 million compared to operating income of $8,000 in the prior-year period. The change in operating loss is due to the reallocation of certain costs in the prior-year period.
Current report
As discussed in Note 9, PMW was in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan with Fifth Third Bank as of June 30, 2026. On July 19, 2026, PMW and Fifth Third entered into the Sixth Amendment, which extended forbearance through August 19, 2026, subject to PMW satisfying certain deliverables established by Fifth Third during the forbearance period (see Note 18). PMW’s ability to meet these deliverables or otherwise repay or refinance the obligations by August 19, 2026 remains uncertain. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Fifth Third Revolver was approximately $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and the balance on the Fifth Third M&E Loan was approximately $3.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Given the Company’s consolidated cash position and available borrowing capacity under its other revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2026, the Company does not believe that any acceleration or enforcement action by Fifth Third with respect to the PMW Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan, including a potential sale or loss of PMW, would be material to the Company or the Company’s overall liquidity.

Previous report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that PMW was in default of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) covenant under the credit agreement governing its Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of this default, the lender has the right to accelerate the obligations and declare all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and Fifth Third M&E Loan immediately due and payable. On March 24, 2026, PMW entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Fifth Amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility with Fifth Third Bank. Under the agreement, Fifth Third Bank agreed to abstain from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to certain existing events of default through June 15, 2026. The forbearance is subject to customary conditions, including, among other things, the requirement that PMW (i) deliver an executed commitment letter for a replacement credit facility sufficient to refinance the outstanding obligations in full by March 31, 2026, and PMW has executed and delivered the required commitment letter, and (ii) provide evidence of a fully committed refinancing by May 31, 2026, with closing to occur no later than June 15, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, all of PMW’s outstanding long‑term debt obligations, totaling approximately $10.5 million, have been reclassified to current liabilities.

Previous wording
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $13.7 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 12.2%, compared to the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.
Current wording

Previous wording
As of March 31, 2026, we had total cash on hand of approximately $15.2 million and approximately $24.6 million of available borrowing under our revolving credit facilities. As we continue to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature, and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

As we continue to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities.

Previous wording
We had working capital of approximately $74.4 million as of March 31, 2026, as compared to working capital of approximately $62.1 million as of September 30, 2025; an increase of approximately $12.3 million. The increase was primarily driven by an aggregate decrease in current liabilities of approximately $6.0 million, reflecting reductions in the current portion of long‑term debt and income taxes payable. These changes were partially offset by an aggregate increase in current assets of approximately $6.3 million, driven by increases in cash and inventories.
Current wording
We had working capital of approximately $45.5 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to working capital of approximately $62.1 million as of September 30, 2025; a decrease of approximately $16.6 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by an aggregate increase in current liabilities of approximately $18.0 million, reflecting reductions in income taxes payable, accounts payable, and the current portion of long‑term debt. In addition, current assets increased by approximately $1.4 million, driven by higher cash balances and increases in prepaids and other current assets.
Previous wording
The Company’s cash, as of March 31, 2026, was approximately $15.2 million compared to approximately $8.8 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of approximately $6.4 million. Net cash provided by operations was approximately $7.1 million and $9.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in inventory levels to support operational demand, which represented a use of cash compared to the prior period. Operating cash flows were also unfavorably impacted by an increase in income taxes receivable resulting from the timing of tax payments relative to expense accruals. These uses of cash were partially offset by a favorable change in accrued liabilities, reflecting the timing of accrued obligations, as well as a normalization of vendor payment timing in accounts payable compared to the prior period.
Current wording
The Company’s cash, as of June 30, 2026, was approximately $10.9 million compared to approximately $8.8 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of approximately $2.1 million. Net cash provided by operations was approximately $14.7 million and $21.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an unfavorable change in deferred income taxes and lower cash collections on trade receivables compared to the prior period’s unusually strong collections. Operating cash flows were also affected by higher inventory levels during the current period. These impacts were partially offset by favorable changes in accrued liabilities and accounts payable driven by the timing of obligations and vendor payments.

General and Administrative expenses decreased by 2.3% to approximately $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by targeted cost‑reduction initiatives in our Retail‑Flooring and Flooring Manufacturing segments, including lower compensation expense and reduced professional fees, partially offset by increased compensation and occupancy costs in our Retail-Entertainment segment.
