The Dixie Group (OTCQB:DXYN) reported its Q1 2025 financial results and secured a new $75 million senior credit facility. Net sales decreased 3.5% to $62.99 million compared to $65.25 million in Q1 2024. Despite lower sales, gross margins improved to 26.8% from 24.2% year-over-year. The company posted an operating income of $11,000, compared to an operating loss of $857,000 in Q1 2024. Net loss from continuing operations was $1.58 million ($0.11 per share), an improvement from $2.41 million ($0.16 per share) in Q1 2024.

The company's soft floorcovering products outperformed hard surface products, gaining market share in the soft surface category. Premium products showed strong performance across all categories. The new three-year credit facility with MidCap Financial replaces their previous facility with Fifth Third Bank. The company faces challenges from weak market conditions due to low existing home sales and lower consumer confidence, with additional uncertainty around tariffs impacting the industry.

The Dixie Group (OTCQB:DXYN) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del primo trimestre 2025 e ha ottenuto una nuova linea di credito senior da 75 milioni di dollari. Le vendite nette sono diminuite del 3,5%, attestandosi a 62,99 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 65,25 milioni del primo trimestre 2024. Nonostante il calo delle vendite, i margini lordi sono migliorati, passando dal 24,2% al 26,8% su base annua. L'azienda ha registrato un reddito operativo di 11.000 dollari, rispetto a una perdita operativa di 857.000 dollari nel primo trimestre 2024. La perdita netta dalle operazioni continuative è stata di 1,58 milioni di dollari (0,11 dollari per azione), un miglioramento rispetto ai 2,41 milioni (0,16 dollari per azione) del primo trimestre 2024.

I prodotti per pavimenti morbidi dell'azienda hanno superato quelli per superfici dure, guadagnando quota nel segmento delle superfici morbide. I prodotti premium hanno mostrato una forte performance in tutte le categorie. La nuova linea di credito triennale con MidCap Financial sostituisce quella precedente con Fifth Third Bank. L'azienda affronta sfide dovute a condizioni di mercato deboli, causate da basse vendite di case esistenti e da una diminuzione della fiducia dei consumatori, con ulteriore incertezza derivante dai dazi che influenzano il settore.

Los productos premium mostraron un rendimiento sólido en todas las categorías. La nueva línea de crédito a tres años con MidCap Financial reemplaza la anterior con Fifth Third Bank. La compañía enfrenta desafíos debido a condiciones de mercado débiles, causadas por bajas ventas de viviendas existentes y menor confianza del consumidor, con incertidumbre adicional por los aranceles que afectan a la industria.

회사의 연질 바닥재 제품은 경질 제품보다 우수한 성과를 보이며 연질 바닥재 시장 점유율을 확대했습니다. 프리미엄 제품은 모든 카테고리에서 강력한 실적을 나타냈습니다. MidCap Financial과 체결한 3년 신용 시설은 이전 Fifth Third Bank와의 시설을 대체합니다. 회사는 기존 주택 판매 부진과 소비자 신뢰 하락으로 인한 약한 시장 상황, 그리고 산업에 영향을 미치는 관세 관련 불확실성으로 인해 어려움에 직면해 있습니다.

The Dixie Group (OTCQB:DXYN) a publié ses résultats financiers du premier trimestre 2025 et a obtenu une nouvelle facilité de crédit senior de 75 millions de dollars.

Les produits de revêtements de sol souples de la société ont surperformé les produits pour surfaces dures, gagnant des parts de marché dans la catégorie des surfaces souples. Les produits premium ont affiché de solides performances dans toutes les catégories. La nouvelle facilité de crédit triennale avec MidCap Financial remplace celle précédente avec Fifth Third Bank. La société fait face à des défis liés à des conditions de marché faibles, dues à la faible vente de logements existants et à une confiance des consommateurs réduite, avec une incertitude supplémentaire liée aux tarifs douaniers impactant le secteur.

The Dixie Group (OTCQB:DXYN) veröffentlichte seine Finanzergebnisse für das erste Quartal 2025 und sicherte sich eine neue Senior-Kreditfazilität in Höhe von 75 Millionen US-Dollar. Der Nettoumsatz sank um 3,5 % auf 62,99 Millionen US-Dollar im Vergleich zu 65,25 Millionen US-Dollar im ersten Quartal 2024. Trotz des Umsatzrückgangs verbesserten sich die Bruttomargen von 24,2 % auf 26,8 % im Jahresvergleich.

Die weichbodenbelagsprodukte des Unternehmens übertrafen die Hartbodenprodukte und gewannen Marktanteile im Bereich der weichen Bodenbeläge. Premiumprodukte zeigten in allen Kategorien eine starke Leistung. Die neue dreijährige Kreditfazilität mit MidCap Financial ersetzt die vorherige mit der Fifth Third Bank. Das Unternehmen steht vor Herausforderungen aufgrund schwacher Marktbedingungen, bedingt durch geringe Verkäufe bestehender Häuser und ein geringeres Verbrauchervertrauen, sowie zusätzlicher Unsicherheiten durch Zölle, die die Branche beeinflussen.

DALTON, GA / ACCESS Newswire / May 9, 2025 / The Dixie Group, Inc. (OTCQB:DXYN) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 29, 2025.

  • The Company had favorable year over year gross margins despite lower year over year net sales volume

  • The Company had an operating income of $11 thousand in the first quarter of 2025 compared to an operating loss of $857 thousand in the same period of 2024

  • During the first quarter of 2025 the Company closed on a new $75 million credit facility

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company had net sales of $62,990,000 as compared to $65,254,000 in the same quarter of 2024. The Company had an operating income of $11,000 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to an operating loss of $857,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2025 was $1,582,000 or $0.11 per diluted share. In 2024, the net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was $2,410,000 or $0.16 per diluted share.

Commenting on the results, Daniel K. Frierson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The industry continues to experience weak market conditions driven by low existing home sales and lower consumer confidence. Our first quarter net sales were down 3.5% from the same period a year ago. Sales of our soft floorcovering products again outperformed our hard surface products and we continued to gain market share in the soft surface category. Just as in the previous quarter, premium products performed better than the market in all categories.

Despite the lower sales volume, our gross margins in the first quarter were favorable to prior year at $16,902,000 or 26.8% of net sales compared to $15,809,000 or 24.2% of net sales in the prior year. We also had favorable year over year operating income in the first quarter at $11,000 compared to an operating loss of $857,000 in the prior year. The improvements are primarily the result of our continued focus on cost reductions and operating efficiencies throughout the Company.

Low consumer confidence was further impacted by the uncertainty around the announcement of tariffs during the quarter. We had previously minimized the amount of our products being imported from China and we have worked with all of the suppliers of our imported products to reduce the impact of tariffs on the cost of our products. The situation is very volatile at this time, and it is difficult to predict what the impact of increased tariffs will be on imported products. At this time, several industry players have already announced price increases. Certainly, the impact will be greater on some hard surface categories.

We were pleased by the success of the first quarter trade shows, including Surfaces where we showcased 25 new styles of carpet across our nylon, polyester and decorative collections. Our focus continues to be on creating differentiated styles for the residential market, with an emphasis on color, pattern, and textural visuals. This includes our Step Into Color campaign where we offer the best and broadest color lines in the industry including custom color offerings in our white dyeable nylon carpet collections produced through our nylon extrusion operation that began successful production last year.

 

We also showcased eight hard surface collections with new visuals and innovations and ten new colors in our Fabrica wood program which were all very well received and will continue to fuel growth in this program. In our TRUCOR brand, we are focused on simplification of our product line and consumer friendly messaging. We featured new visuals and constructions in several of our SPC, WPC, and laminate programs. Notably, our PRIME X collection, with a half inch thick WPC construction and 7x72 inch plank in ten colors. Also our Boardwalk collection, with rolled edge and beautiful visuals in a high end SPC platform, will get 10 new colors in 2025. And we are expanding our market leading visuals in the SPC tile/stone segment with 6 new "built in grout" options. Our hard surface introductions began rolling out late in the 1st quarter and will continue through mid year.

During the quarter we were pleased to announce closure on a new, three year, $75 million revolving senior credit facility with MidCap Financial. The new credit facility replaces our former senior credit facility with Fifth Third Bank and provides the Company with secured future financing." The Frierson concluded.

The year over year gross margin improved by 2.6% of gross sales as the result of cost reductions and operating efficiencies. Selling and administrative expenses were slightly above the prior year at $16.9 million compared to $16.4 million, partially due to higher employee benefit costs and professional fees.

On our balance sheet, receivables increased $4.6 million from the balance at fiscal year end 2024 due to higher sales in the last month of the first quarter 2025 as compared to the seasonally lower sales volume in the last month of the fiscal year 2024. Net inventory value at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was $66.7 million, slightly below the fiscal year end 2024 balance of $66.9 million. Combined accounts payable and accrued expenses were $11.0 million higher at the end of the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the December 2024 balance. This increase was primarily driven by higher payables and accruals for raw materials to replenish inventory and meet higher production needs in preparation for an expected increase in demand in the second quarter. In the first quarter of 2025, capital expenditures were $74 thousand. Capital expenditures for the full fiscal year 2025 are planned at $2.5 million. Interest expense was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. Our debt increased by $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 driven by operating needs.

On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into a new $75 million senior revolving credit facility. The credit agreement is for a three year term and proceeds from the credit facility were used to retire the Company's previous revolving credit facility with Fifth Third Bank. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, our unused borrowing availability under our line of credit with our new senior lending facility was $12.0 million which was subject to a $6.0 million minimum excess availability requirement.
