Management Commentary

“I’m encouraged by how our team continues to execute in a challenging and dynamic operating environment,” said Derek Schmidt, CEO of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. “During the third quarter, we delivered relatively stable year-over-year sales performance and maintained a healthy operating margin of approximately 7 percent. While demand softened as the quarter progressed, particularly following the onset of the conflict in the Middle East, our results reflect the operating discipline we’ve built into the business and our ability to respond with agility as conditions evolve. Importantly, our core growth drivers, including new product introductions, strategic account relationships, and our health and wellness category, continued to perform well, albeit at more moderate growth levels than in prior quarters.”

Mr. Schmidt continued, “Order trends were choppy throughout the quarter, with early-quarter performance impacted by severe weather and a more pronounced slowdown emerging more recently as macroeconomic uncertainty increased with current developments in Iran. Retail partners are taking a more cautious approach to inventory, and consumer demand remains inconsistent as confidence has been affected by inflation concerns, rising energy costs, and stock market volatility. At the same time, we are beginning to see cost pressures increase across our supply chain, driven largely by higher fuel and petrochemical-related input costs stemming from the Middle East conflict. While we continue to evaluate pricing and other actions to mitigate these pressures, the current environment requires a thoughtful and measured approach given the price sensitivity of the consumer.”

Mr. Schmidt concluded, “Looking ahead, we expect near-term demand and profitability to remain under pressure, with fourth quarter sales likely flat to prior year levels and operating margins similar to third quarter performance. The duration and severity of these pressures will depend largely on macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical developments. Despite this uncertainty, our strategy and focus remain unchanged. We will continue to operate with agility, maintain disciplined cost control, and invest in the capabilities that support long-term growth, including consumer insights, innovation, product development, marketing, and customer experience. With a strong balance sheet and a resilient operating model, we believe Flexsteel is well positioned to navigate this period while continuing to strengthen our competitive position and drive long-term shareholder value."

Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

Net sales were $115.1 million for the third quarter compared to net sales of $114.0 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of $1.1 million, or 1.0%. The increase was driven by higher pricing from tariff surcharges, offset by lower unit volume.

Gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was 22.6%, compared to 22.2% for the prior-year quarter, an increase of 40 basis points (“bps”). The 40-bps increase was primarily driven by favorable sales composition of higher margin products.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 15.5% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with 15.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The 50-bps increase was primarily due to investments in growth initiatives.

Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $8.2 million compared to loss of ($5.1) million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $8.2 million compared to $8.3 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 1%.

The Company reported income tax expense of $2.1 million, or an effective rate of 24.9%, during the third quarter compared to tax benefit of ($1.2) million, or an effective rate of 24.5%, in the prior year quarter.

The Company reported net income of $6.4 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to net loss of ($3.7) million, or $(0.71) per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $6.4 million or $1.14 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $6.3 million or $1.13 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $57.3 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $142.2 million, and availability of approximately $54.1 million under its secured line of credit.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, were $3.5 million.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED)

The Company is providing information regarding adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of common stock, which are not recognized terms under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income, net income, or diluted earnings per share of common stock as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of common stock is provided below. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors useful information to analyze and compare performance across periods excluding the items which are considered by management to be extraordinary or one-time in nature. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

As a result, the table may not foot.
