Culp Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
Streamlined Platform Continues to Drive Improvement in Operating Results
Additional Cost and Efficiency Benefits Expected from Division Integration in Fiscal 2026
Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CULP), a leading provider of fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture and other applications, today reported financial and operating results for its first fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2025.
Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Financial Highlights
- Continued market softness and a tariff-driven pause in residential upholstery shipments from China drove consolidated net sales of $50.7 million during the quarter, which included an extra week, compared to prior-year period net sales of $56.5 million.
- Consolidated gross profit of $7.2 million, or 14.3% of sales, compared to prior-year period gross profit of $5.1 million, or 9.0% of sales, a 530 basis point improvement driven by the cost and efficiency gains from restructuring initiatives in the bedding segment completed last year.
- Operating income of $1.6 million, compared to the prior-year period’s loss from operations of $(6.9) million.
- Adjusted for restructuring credits and expenses, including a net credit of approximately $3.5 million driven by a gain on the sale of the company's Canadian manufacturing facility, non-GAAP operating loss of $(1.9) million, compared to the prior-year period’s non-GAAP operating loss of $(4.1) million (see reconciliation table on page 11).
- Net loss of $(231) thousand, or $(.02) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(7.3) million, or $(.58) per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
- Adjusted for the impacts of restructuring and related credits and expenses, EBITDA of negative $(1.1) million, compared to negative $(2.7) million in the prior-year period (see reconciliation table on page 12).
Management Commentary
Iv Culp, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite the continued low-demand environment across the home furnishings industry and tariff volatility, our improving operating performance further confirms the effectiveness of the restructuring initiatives we completed last year. Thanks to the hard work of our team, we made substantial, double-digit improvement at both the gross profit and operating levels during the quarter.
"We have several other initiatives underway related to the integration of our two former divisions that should strengthen our operating profile further as we progress through fiscal 2026. During our second quarter, we expect to start seeing the benefits from the transition of upholstery operations at our leased facility in Burlington, North Carolina, to a shared management model within our owned Stokesdale, North Carolina, location. We also recently initiated the transition of our Read Window operations from a leased facility in Tennessee to a more cost-effective platform within the same owned U.S. location, which should begin to positively impact our results in the third quarter. In addition, we recently increased prices to mitigate tariff costs and right-size margins in certain areas. Once fully implemented this year, we expect these integration and price actions to generate approximately $6 million of additional cost and efficiency enhancements annually.
"While the macroeconomic and global trade landscapes continue to present challenges for CULP and everyone in our industry, we’ve been able to leverage our size and scale advantages to win market share in key segments, particularly in bedding. In the current tariff environment, our strategy to supplement a strong U.S. manufacturing platform with a foreign footprint spread across nearshore and offshore jurisdictions gives customers increasingly attractive supply chain alternatives and provides us with better pricing flexibility.
Culp concluded, “Our highest priorities are to return CULP to profitability and reduce our current net debt position, regardless of any rebound in demand and improved market conditions. We believe that our efforts to reinvent our company and go to market with a leaner and more unified operating model, along with the additional integration initiatives now in motion, position us to not only meet that objective in the near term but also accelerate profitability as market conditions improve.”
Financial Outlook
Due to macro-economic uncertainty and the fluid global trade and tariff environment, the Company is providing only limited forward guidance. The Company’s expectations are based on information available at the time of this press release and reflect certain assumptions by management regarding the Company’s business and industry trends, the projected impact of restructuring and integration initiatives, and ongoing market headwinds. The Company's expectations also assume no further meaningful impacts from tariffs and trade negotiations.
- The Company expects sequential sales growth throughout the year in what is expected to remain a low-demand environment for home furnishings.
- The Company expects the cost and efficiency benefits of its restructuring and division integration initiatives, along with price increases, to drive EBITDA results (adjusted for integration, related expenses and other items) in a range from near breakeven to slightly positive for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, and for operating performance and profitability to improve sequentially throughout the remainder of the year.
- While the Company intends to continue utilizing borrowings as necessary under its domestic and foreign credit facilities during fiscal 2026 to fund working capital needs and growth, as well as integration and efficiency initiatives, it will continue to aggressively manage liquidity and capital expenditures and prioritize free cash flow.
Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Business Segment Highlights
Following the integration of the Company’s two formerly separate divisions, Culp Home Fashions and Culp Upholstery Fabrics, the Company now refers to its mattress fabric and upholstery fabric businesses as its Bedding and Upholstery segments, respectively. Moreover, the Company now manages selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses on a consolidated basis following the division integration and, as a result, will no longer report operating performance at the segment level.
Bedding
- Sales in this segment were $28.0 million for the first quarter, generally flat compared with sales in the prior-year period. While the overall low-demand market environment persisted during the quarter and affected sales, this segment continued to win market share with larger customers.
- The newly-restructured cost platform in this segment drove gross profit of $2.9 million, or 10.5% of sales, a significant improvement from the prior year period’s negative $(326) thousand, or negative (1.2%) of sales.
Upholstery
- Sales in this segment were $22.6 million for the first quarter, down approximately 20% compared with sales of $28.5 million in the prior-year period. The decline was driven by the well-known softness across the home furnishings market and several additional factors including the historically high tariffs on China-produced products in the prior quarter, which essentially grounded residential upholstery order flow for approximately five weeks and subsequently impacted sales in the first quarter. In addition, a large residential fabric customer concentrated most of its purchasing in the first half of last year, with a notable spike in the first quarter, resulting in an uneven year-over-year comparison this quarter that we expect to normalize in the second quarter and ensuing periods.
- Gross profit was $4.3 million, or 18.9% of sales, down from $5.5 million, or 19.4% of sales, in the prior year period, and driven largely by lower comparable sales.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Liquidity
- As of August 3, 2025, the Company maintained $11.1 million in total cash and $18.1 million in outstanding debt under its credit facilities, of which $2.8 million constituted supplier financing. The outstanding debt was primarily incurred to fund worldwide working capital and to take advantage of availability and borrowing opportunities at current preferred rates in China.
- As of August 3, 2025, the Company maintained approximately $28.7 million in liquidity consisting of $11.1 million in cash and $17.6 million in borrowing availability under its recently renewed domestic credit facility.
- Cash flow from operations was negative $(695) thousand for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and primarily driven by operating losses partially offset by favorable working capital. Adjusted for capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, and other items, free cash flow was $311 thousand (see reconciliation table on page 10).
- Capital expenditures for the first quarter were $179 thousand, down from $501 thousand in the prior year period, reflective of the fiscal 2025 bedding consolidation and corresponding equipment optimization, as well as a strategic focus on high value and quick payback projects.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” “predict , ” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations, projections, or trends for our future operations, strategic initiatives and plans, restructuring and integration actions, production levels, new product launches, sales, profit margins, profitability, operating (loss) income, capital expenditures, working capital levels, cost savings (including, without limitation, anticipated cost savings from restructuring and integration actions), income taxes, SG&A or other expenses, pre-tax (loss) income, earnings, cash flow, and other performance or liquidity measures, as well as any statements regarding dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, ending cash balances and cash positions, borrowing capacity, investments, potential acquisitions, cash and non-cash restructuring and restructuring-related charges, expenses, and/or credits, net proceeds from restructuring related asset dispositions, future economic or industry trends, public health epidemics, or other future developments. There can be no assurance that we will realize these expectations or meet our guidance, or that these beliefs will prove correct.
Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, demand for home furnishings products, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions. Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects. Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in tariffs or trade policy, including changes in U.S. trade enforcement priorities, or changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Also, economic or political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. The future performance of our business depends in part on our success in conducting and finalizing acquisition negotiations and integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations. The impact of public health epidemics on employees, customers, suppliers, and the global economy, such as the coronavirus pandemic, could also adversely affect our operations and financial performance. In addition, the impact of potential asset impairments, including impairments of property, plant, and equipment, inventory, or intangible assets, as well as the impact of valuation allowances applied against our net deferred income tax assets, could affect our financial results. Increases in freight costs, labor costs, and raw material prices, including increases in market prices for petrochemical products, can also significantly affect the prices we pay for shipping, labor, and raw materials, respectively, and in turn, increase our operating costs and decrease our profitability. Also, our success in diversifying our supply chain with reliable partners to effectively service our global platform could affect our operations and adversely affect our financial results. Finally, the future performance of our business also depends on our ability to successfully restructure our bedding operations and return the segment to profitability as well as successfully integrate our bedding and upholstery segments and realize the expected benefits of that integration effort, which may not meet our expectations. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this release as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this report. Unless required by United States federal securities laws, we neither intend nor assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also affect our business operations or financial results.
