Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Results

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.

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.
