[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

And with that, I'll turn the call over to Derek Schmidt. Derek?

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. I am pleased to share with you our fourth quarter and fiscal year twenty twenty five results. We continue to execute well and delivered strong results in the quarter. While soft market conditions and tariff uncertainty remain industry headwinds, we continued our growth momentum and delivered 3.4% sales growth in the quarter, which represents our seventh consecutive quarter of year over year growth. Positively, the drivers of our growth remain diverse as we grew in both our core markets and our new and expanded market initiatives.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Within core markets, we continue to grow successfully with strategic accounts, where we are continuously improving and differentiating the customer experience and from new product introductions that are resonating well with both retailers and consumers. The major contributors of growth in new and expanded markets remain market penetration in the health and wellness category led by our ZCLINER products and development in the case goods category where retail placements of new product are expanding. I'm also pleased with our continued profitability improvement and strong cash generation. Our adjusted operating margin of 9% in the quarter represents our ninth consecutive quarter of year over year improvement and a three forty basis point improvement over the prior year quarter. The levers driving our profit improvement are unchanged and working effectively and include sales growth leverage, strong operational execution and productivity and product portfolio management.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Additionally, we delivered free cash flow of $19,100,000 in the quarter and bolstered our ending cash to $40,000,000 Compared to our competitors, our strong financial position remains an advantage in this period of choppy demand and elevated uncertainty. In many aspects, fiscal year twenty twenty five was a very successful year for Flexsteel, and I'm proud of the team's accomplishments. I firmly believe that our greatest advantage is our talent and culture. We made great strides in the past year recruiting, developing and promoting high potential talent who drive our strong execution and in strengthening our culture and employee engagement, which fosters an environment where people can thrive and be their best. And the results are impressive.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

For the year, we delivered sales growth of 7% in a challenging industry environment, expanded adjusted operating margins by two seventy basis points to 7.1%, increased adjusted operating profit by 71% to $31,200,000 and generated $45,000,000 of free cash flow, which enabled us to increase our dividend twice in the past twelve months and build a healthy cash balance of $40,000,000 As important as the financial results is the progress we've made in developing our strategic capabilities and strengthening our competitive advantages as these are the key determinants of our ability to continue profitably gaining share in the years ahead. Let me share some highlights of our strategic progress and how we intend to build upon them in fiscal year twenty twenty six. In our core markets, we expect the drivers of our growth to continue to come from strategic accounts and new products. For strategic accounts, we've completed a deep customer segmentation and voice of the customer study. We're leveraging this work to tightly align our resources to strengthen support for our most important customers.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

And we've mobilized aggressive plans to elevate our value proposition. By delivering a customer experience that is truly advantaged and differentiated, we're confident that we can continue to drive meaningful share gains with these strategic accounts. On the new product front, we are ramping and broadening our consumer insights capabilities to drive bigger, bolder innovation and bolster more relevant on trend designs. We are also improving the standardization of our product platforms and commonization of parts to accelerate speed to market for new product development. Lastly, we've successfully invested in building stronger marketing capabilities over the past several years and plan to continue to scale marketing to drive more brand awareness and demand generation.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

By driving more innovation, stronger product relevance, faster product launches and more powerful marketing, we believe that new products will remain a key source of growth in the New Year. Turning to new and expanded markets. Our primary focus is on further penetrating the health and wellness and casegood product categories and broadening our distribution with national accounts. We're encouraged by our initial success in health and wellness with our Z Kliner seat chair, and we intend to lead this new category with bolder, faster innovation and new product development this year. We also expect to broaden our health and wellness positioning with new solutions that address consumer needs beyond just sleep.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

In case goods, we've built a strong supply chain with superior capabilities that we'll leverage to launch a meaningful expansion of compelling new product in fiscal year twenty twenty six, further supported by increased investment in marketing. Lastly, we intend to broaden our sales distribution to ensure that the Flexsteel brand is positioned everywhere consumers want to buy furniture by expanding our business with Wayfair and Costco and developing new partnerships with Macy's and other key national accounts. To summarize, we have clearly defined growth strategies, have or are building advantaged capabilities to differentiate ourselves and have aligned our talent and resources to successfully execute the plans to deliver on these priorities. While I'm confident in the strategies mentioned and our ability to execute, we do anticipate that difficult industry conditions will persist in the near term, and we must remain agile to effectively navigate the choppy environment and macro uncertainty, largely stemming from tariffs. Tariffs represent a major risk to both demand and margins in the New Year.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

To overcome the demand risk, we will continue delivering an exceptional customer experience, differentiated and innovative new products, high ROI marketing investments and deeper penetration in the new or expanded markets. The margin risk from tariffs, notably the 20% tariff on imports from Vietnam, will require a multifaceted approach to mitigate, including supply chain adjustments, new cost savings initiatives and limited pricing actions. We have strong partners in our value chain, both suppliers and customers, and are working collaboratively with them to address the effects of tariffs while minimizing the impact on consumer prices and demand. On the supply side, we've been actively working with existing suppliers to expand their geographical capabilities beyond Vietnam, while simultaneously identifying new suppliers in other countries. These moves will enable us to move quickly to optimize our supply chain once the tariff situation stabilizes.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

We have also been working closely with our suppliers to identify new cost savings and efficiencies to offset part of the tariff burden. And we have identified new sources of productivity and structural cost reduction within our own operations to further mitigate the financial risk of tariffs. While these efforts are expected to be meaningful, they alone will not offset all the tariff exposure. As such, we partnered with our retailers to understand consumers' price sensitivity and subsequently announced tariff surcharges ranging from 4% to 8.5% effective August 1 that will further reduce our tariff exposure without significantly impacting unit demand. The situation with tariffs remains dynamic, and we will continually evaluate and pursue options to minimize the margin impact on our business without diluting our growth momentum.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Our team is agile and is well positioned to navigate subsequent changes in the tariff environment or effects on the economy and consumer demand. I'll be back momentarily to share my closing thoughts. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mike, who will give you some additional details on the financial performance for the fourth quarter and the financial outlook for the 2026. Thanks, Derek.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

For the fourth quarter, net sales were $114,600,000 or growth of 3.4% compared to net sales of $110,800,000 in the prior year quarter. As Derek mentioned, this marks our seventh consecutive quarter of sales growth compared to the prior year periods and near the upper end of our guidance range of 109,000,000 to $116,000,000 The increase was primarily driven by higher unit volume of soft seating products, partially offset by lower unit volume in our Homestyles branded ready to assemble category. Sales order backlog at the end of the period was $66,500,000 an increase of $6,900,000 compared to the prior year ending backlog of $59,500,000 From a profit perspective, the company delivered GAAP operating income of $14,000,000 or 12.2% of sales in the fourth quarter. The GAAP operating margin includes a $3,700,000 pretax gain on the sale of an ancillary building, formerly part of our Huntingburg, Indiana Distribution Center Complex. When adjusted for the impact of this gain, the company delivered adjusted operating income of $10,300,000 or 9% of sales in the fourth quarter, which was above the top end of our guidance range of 6% to 7.3 of sales.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

The outperformance to our guidance range was primarily due to $1,900,000 in favorable foreign currency translation of our peso denominated assets in Mexico, resulting from the peso significantly strengthening against the U. S. Dollar in the quarter. Tariffs had a net dilutive impact to operating margin in the current quarter of roughly 40 basis points when compared to the prior year period. Moving to the balance sheet and statement of cash flows.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $40,000,000 working capital of $110,400,000 and no balance on our line of credit. During the quarter, we increased safety stock of our top sellers to hedge against higher tariff rates and enter the 2026 well positioned to continue delivering exceptional service levels to our customers. Looking forward, we believe we have the strategies in place to effectively navigate the current environment, but a significant change in macroeconomic factors could materially impact our outlook. For the first quarter, we expect sales between 105,000,000 and $110,000,000 or growth of 1% to 6%. The main drivers of variability in sales for the first quarter will be consumer demand and price realization from tariff surcharges in response to higher tariff rates.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

While we believe we have taken the appropriate pricing actions to minimize the impact of tariffs while maintaining competitive consumer price points, there is still risk and uncertainty around the impact of higher consumer prices on unit demand. We expect gross margins between 21.522.5% in the first quarter, with the largest drivers of variability being top line sales and the effectiveness of our tariff mitigation efforts. Our gross margin assumes the 20% tariff on Vietnam imports that went into effect in August remain in place and that our Mexico imports remain tariff free under USMCA. As Derek mentioned, we have a multifaceted approach to mitigating the impact of tariffs and we'll remain agile and continue working closely with our supply chain partners and customers to navigate the dynamic environment. We expect that our collective tariff mitigation actions will nearly offset the cost of tariffs in the quarter.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

Given the high level of economic uncertainty and challenging market conditions, we will prudently manage SG and A spending and be mindful of adding structural cost to the business. With that said, we will continue to make high ROI investments in new product, innovation and marketing to maintain our growth momentum and project SG and A costs between $16,800,000 and $17,300,000 for the quarter. We are projecting operating income as a percentage of sales in the range of 5.5% to 7% for the first quarter. Regarding our cash flow outlook, our fiscal first quarter is normally a period with heavy outflow due to the timing of incentive compensation payouts, annual insurance premiums and prepaid software and service agreements. With that, we expect free cash flow for the quarter in the range of negative $5,000,000 to $0 Near term priorities for cash remain resourcing our strategic priorities and funding capital expenditures.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

We may be opportunistic with share repurchases at modest spending levels if the stock price is at a significant discount to our view of intrinsic value. For the first quarter, we expect capital expenditures between 1,000,000 and $1,500,000 The effective tax rate for fiscal twenty twenty six is expected to be in the range of 25% to 27%. Now I'll turn the call back over to Derek to share his perspectives on our outlook.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Thanks, Mike. I'm pleased with our fiscal year twenty twenty five results and strategic progress, and our team is intensely focused on executing the growth strategies and profit improvement initiatives to deliver strong financial results again in fiscal year twenty twenty six. We also recognize that the external environment is dynamic, and we must remain agile to respond to material shifts in tariff policy, consumer spending and other external influences on our business. I am confident that the company is well positioned to both execute plans to gain share while improving profitability and to effectively navigate unpredictable changes in the external landscape. In summary, Flexsteel is financially strong, competing well and gaining share.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

I'm encouraged by our fiscal year twenty twenty five results and growth momentum, excited about our future and confident in our ability to continue creating significant value for our customers and shareholders. With that, we will open the call to your questions. Operator?

[Operator]

And our first question today comes from Anthony Lebiedzinski from Sidoti and Company. Please go ahead with your question.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

Good morning, everyone, and thanks for taking the questions and certainly nice to see the strong finish to the fiscal year. So my first question is, in terms of the pricing actions or surcharges to be more precise that you have taken already. I know it's still early. I believe you took those actions on August 1. But can you just comment on the initial reaction or just really wanted to better understand the elasticity of demand that you have observed thus far given the surcharges that you've put in place?

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Hey, Anthony, it's Derek. I'll take that question and Mike can add in. I think certainly you're aware of the current environment. It's challenging from a consumer perspective. And so we were very sensitive to how much price we could push into the market.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

We have collaborated very closely with our retailers to understand, again, their view on what they believe price points changes, how they might impact demand. And we've certainly fully considered that. What I will share with you is that we have benchmarked the pricing surcharges that we pushed through the market, which as we've explained, range between 48.5%. We are actually at the low end of the competitive set in terms of what others have pushed out in the market. So we believe that I'm not sure if we're advantaged, but we're certainly not disadvantaged.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

The other important thing to note, Anthony, is that simultaneously with the tariff surcharges that we put in place, we actually reduced existing ocean freight surcharges, largely to keep retail prices of our product relatively stable at retail. So again, we pushed through a turf surcharge, but we've also simultaneously pulled back on ocean freight surcharge. And so we're trying to minimize the retail price impact to consumers given the challenging environment. And I believe we're well positioned given that approach to continue growing and gaining share in this environment despite some of the challenges macroeconomic challenges.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

Understood. Okay. And then you also talked about that you're looking to do or planning to do some new cost savings initiatives to deal with the tariffs. So can you expand on that and whether any of these new initiatives are factored into your first quarter guidance for margins?

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

Hey, Anthony. In terms of cost savings, we're aggressively pursuing cost savings across our entire supply chain, whether it's within our own manufacturing operations, within our international freight, our domestic logistics organization. Our sourcing team is working closely with our suppliers in Asia on secondary supply chains over there. So it's really a multifaceted approach. And those cost savings as well as the surcharges, what we're looking at to try to neutralize the impact of tariffs.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

And I would say that we do have those ongoing cost savings and incremental savings kind of baked into our outlook here for Q1 and into the future.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

I I stand right now, Anthony, I mean, we remain relatively confident that the culmination of the cost savings initiatives working collaboratively with our partners and the modest pricing actions Taken in totality, we believe that we can largely offset the margin impact from tariffs as it stands today.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

That's very encouraging. And in terms of new product innovation, it's something that you guys have talked about for a while. That being said, are you focusing on that more so now than you have previously? Or is this would you say it's just more or less kind of a continuation of the recent trends?

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Yes. Anthony, I would describe it as a continuation. I think we've been relatively aggressive over the last year or two years in terms of investing in innovation, driving relevant new product development. And we're going to continue to that pace. It's been, I think, a key part of our growth success, and we intend on keeping that intensity.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

Understood. Okay. And your inventories came in actually lower than expected, even though I think, Derek, you said that you brought in some additional safety stock. So just curious, given with everything that's going on, how should we think about inventories going forward here?

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

Hey, Anthony. We feel really good about our overall inventory position and our ability to serve our customers, particularly on a unit volume perspective. We continue to kind of reposition our inventory to top sellers, etcetera, and work out of maybe some of kind of the legacy lower performing less profitable SKUs. So from a unit perspective, we would we feel like we're in a really good spot and that we would kind of maintain those levels. Obviously, if we see a change in the demand signals, we'll pivot and adjust accordingly.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

We will see a little bit of incremental cost as we start to bring inventory in with higher tariff rates on them, but wouldn't anticipate a significant movement in our overall inventory at this point in time.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

Got you. Okay. And then lastly for me. So just wondering if you have any updated thoughts on your capital allocation strategy given your growing cash position. I know you've raised the dividend twice last fiscal year, but other than that, just wondering if you have any other additional thoughts on that?

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

Yes, Anthony. I would just say our allocation strategy remains intact. We've talked about 70% of operating cash flow reinvested back in the business, 30% return to shareholders. We're certainly financially responsible. And if there's not an investment opportunity that yields a return above our cost of capital, we won't pursue that.

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

And we'll certainly leverage dividends and our share buybacks, to return capital to shareholders based on kind of the capital needs of the business.

[Anthony Lebiedzinski, Senior Equity Analyst - Specialty Retail/Consumer at Sidoti & Company, LLC]

Understood. Well, thank you very much and best of luck.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Thanks, Anthony.

[Operator]

Our next question comes from Phil Desilanth from Tieton Capital Management. Please go ahead with your question.

[Bill Dezellem, Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Tieton Capital Management]

Great. Thank you. We have two questions. First of all, demand. How would you characterize demand given that the housing market has been slower and yet people are staying in homes longer?

[Bill Dezellem, Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Tieton Capital Management]

And yet there's this idea of confidence level, specifically tied around tariffs being a headwind. Are you seeing behaviors, whether it be month to month or week to week tied to any of the news in the market that you can see changing demand? What insights do you have that you can share beyond what you've already discussed?

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Good morning, Bill. Great question. The way I would characterize demand right now is choppy. Typically, the summer months for the furniture industry tend to be softer. What we've kind of universally heard from our retailers is that retail traffic has indeed been soft this summer.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

It's been a bit kind of sporadic, unpredictable. We will see here in a couple of weeks, the Labor Day is typically one of the bigger furniture holiday selling periods. So I think we'll get a stronger pulse on the state of the consumer here in a couple of weeks depending on what we see from Labor Day. But the best way I could characterize it here is choppy. And most of our retailers would certainly attribute that choppiness to the fact that there's been uncertainty around tariffs.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

There's concerns around potentially increasing inflation because of tariffs. Interest rates kind of still remain relatively high to where they've been here in the last several years. So I think there's still several challenges and roadblocks to unleashing more substantiative consumer spending. But overall, as we start to think about the mid term, long term, we're still bullish. We believe that housing demand is strong, that at some point here that demand has to be fulfilled. We believe that the economy is still on relatively strong footings right now and that we're hopeful that we'll see an economic recovery here certainly in the midterm and a surge in kind of furniture demand, and we believe that we're positioned for that. But to your point, I think in the near term, things are going to remain choppy until we get more clarity on ultimately how tariffs are going to impact inflation and what's going to happen to interest rates.

[Bill Dezellem, Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Tieton Capital Management]

All right. Thank you for that. And then relative to the peso strengthening, are we doing the math correctly that the 300 basis point benefit to gross margin that that equates to roughly $3,400,000 If we tax effect that, it's about $0.45 benefit. If we were to do a constant currency comparison to last year, zero seven five On an operating basis, it would be like $0.95 versus $0.75 Is that the right way to think about those numbers?

[Michael Ressler, CFO, Treasurer & Secretary at Flexsteel Industries]

So Bill, what I would do is, in the current quarter so Q4 results, we had about a $1,900,000 benefit in the current quarter as it relates to our translation gain. On an adjusted basis, our operating margin would have been probably closer to 7.3%, which was near the top end of our guidance range.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

And just to maybe put a little bit more color on that, Bill. Normally, when the currency is relatively stable, the translation exposure and our operating exposure are a natural hedge. It was just, I think, this last period, we saw an abnormally large movement between the peso and the U. S. Dollar, which is why we had a net favorable translation.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

But if you look over the entire year, translation was relatively neutral. It just happened to be significant in the quarter given the large fluctuation in the currency rate.

[Bill Dezellem, Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Tieton Capital Management]

Understood. Thank you both and congratulations on another step forward. Great quarter.

[Derek Schmidt, CEO, President & Director at Flexsteel Industries]

Thanks, Bill.

[Operator]

And ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'm showing no additional questions. I'd like to turn the floor back over to management for any closing remarks.
