Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Crown Crafts (CRWS) reported Q2 FY2026 results. Net sales were $23.7M vs $24.5M a year ago, while diluted EPS rose to $0.11 from $0.08. Gross margin was 27.7% vs 28.4% as higher tariffs on China-sourced goods pressured costs. By category, bedding and diaper bags fell to $10.4M, partly offset by bibs, toys and disposables at $13.3M.

For the first six months, sales were $39.2M vs $40.7M and diluted EPS was $0.01 vs $0.05. Management cited fewer items in a major retailer’s program and inventory shortages tied to tariff mitigation as drivers. Operating cash flow was $4.4M; investing used $0.26M; financing used $3.9M. Inventory was $32.6M.

Debt included a $10.7M revolving balance and a $5.7M term loan; $13.7M was available under the revolver. Top customer concentration remained high in the first half: Walmart 47%, Amazon 17%, and Target 10%. A quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share was declared. The company disclosed disclosure controls were not effective due to a material weakness in manual journal entry controls. Shares outstanding were 10,702,787 as of October 31, 2025.

Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • Material weakness in internal controls: disclosure controls were not effective due to deficiencies in manual journal entry review.

Insights

Stable sales with margin pressure; controls issue disclosed.

CRWS posted Q2 sales of $23.7M (down 3.1%) and gross margin at 27.7%. Category mix shifted as bedding declined and bibs/toys rose, aligning with commentary about fewer items in a major retailer program and tariff effects.

Cash generation remained positive with operating cash flow of $4.4M. Leverage centers on a revolving line ($10.7M) and term loan ($5.7M), with availability of $13.7M. Concentration is notable: Walmart 47%, Amazon 17%, Target 10% in the first half.

Management reported disclosure controls were not effective due to a material weakness tied to manual journal entries. Actual impact depends on remediation. Subsequent filings may provide updates on control testing and tariff cost trends.

CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE- AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 AND SEPTEMBER 29, 2024

 

 

Note 1 Interim Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Crafts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. References herein to GAAP are to topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”), which the FASB periodically revises through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 28, 2025 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments include normal, recurring accruals, as well as the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended September 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected by the Company for its fiscal year ending March 29, 2026. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday that is nearest to or on March 31. References herein to “fiscal year 2026” or “2026” represent the 52-week period ending March 29, 2026 and references herein to “fiscal year 2025” or “2025” represent the 52-week period ended March 30, 2025.

 

Recently-Issued Accounting Standards:

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, the objective of which is to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-09 are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the guidance of ASU No. 2023-09 against its existing disclosures related to income tax disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, the objective of which is to enhance the transparency and usefulness of financial statements by requiring public business entities to provide more detailed disclosures about their expenses. The amendments in ASU No. 2024-03 are required to be adopted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the guidance of ASU No. 2024-03 against its existing disclosures related to income statement expenses.

 

The Company has determined that all other ASUs issued which had become effective as of September 28, 2025, or which will become effective at some future date, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  

 

Note 2 Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s operations are managed and reported to its Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), on a consolidated basis. The Company operates primarily in one principal segment, infant, toddler and juvenile products. These products consist of infant and toddler bedding, diaper bags, bibs, toys and disposable products. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, which requires the CODM to manage and evaluate the results of the Company in a consolidated manner to drive efficiencies and develop uniform strategies. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources.

Depreciation expense and amortization expense were $389 thousand and $401 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended September 28, 2025 while for the six months ended September 29, 2024 depreciation and amortization expenses were $342 thousand and $344 thousand, respectively.

  

 

Note 3 Licensing Agreements

 

The Company has entered into licensing agreements that provide for royalty payments based on a percentage of sales of products covered by the license agreements, subject to certain minimum guaranteed amounts. Royalty expense is calculated based upon sales at contractual rates under the licensing agreements and any applicable minimum guaranteed amounts. Royalty expense is included in cost of products sold in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and amounted to $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and amounted to $2.9 and $2.8 million for the six months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

  

 

Note 4 Concentrations

 

Product Sourcing: Foreign and domestic contract manufacturers produce most of the Company’s products, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company makes sourcing decisions on the basis of quality, timeliness of delivery and price, including the impact of ocean freight and duties. Although the Company maintains relationships with a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes that its products may be readily manufactured by several alternative sources in quantities sufficient to meet the Company’s requirements.

 

The Company maintains foreign representative offices located in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, which are responsible for the coordination of production, purchases and shipments, seeking out new vendors and overseeing inspections for social compliance and quality. The Company’s management and quality assurance personnel visit the third-party facilities regularly to monitor and audit product quality and to ensure compliance with labor requirements and social and environmental standards. In addition, the Company closely monitors the currency exchange rate. The impact of future fluctuations in the exchange rate or changes in safeguards cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

For the period ended September 28, 2025, purchases from the Company’s three largest suppliers accounted for approximately 16%, 11% and 11% of purchases. To mitigate the risks associated with supplier concentration, the Company engages in ongoing efforts to identify alternative sources of supply, assess supplier reliability and performance, and negotiate favorable contractual terms where feasible. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in reducing its dependence on any single supplier or mitigating the impact of supplier-related risks in the future.

 

The U.S. government has tariffs on imports from certain countries, including China. During 2025, the U.S. government introduced increased tariffs which have increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the imposition of new tariffs on imports from China to the Company’s business and financial condition. The impact of the increased tariffs is uncertain because it is subject to a number of factors, including the duration of such tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any countermeasures that China may take and any mitigation actions that may become available.

Licensed Products: Certain products are manufactured and sold pursuant to licensing agreements for trademarks. Also, many of the designs used by the Company are copyrighted by other parties, including trademark licensors, and are available to the Company through copyright license agreements. The licensing agreements are generally for an initial term of one to three years and may or may not be subject to renewal or extension. Sales of licensed products represented 50% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2025, which included 21% of sales under the Company’s license agreements with affiliated companies of The Walt Disney Company, which expire as set forth below:

Note 5 Inventories

 

The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which includes the direct supplier acquisition cost, duties, taxes and freight, and the indirect costs to design, develop, source and store the product until it is sold. Once cost has been determined, the Company’s inventory is then stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method, which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the order in which they are acquired. The determination of the indirect charges and their allocation to the Company’s finished goods inventories requires management judgment and estimates. If management made different judgments or utilized different estimates, then differences would result in the valuation of the Company’s inventories and in the amount and timing of the Company’s cost of products sold and the resulting net income for the reporting period. The Company’s inventory is nearly all finished goods.

 

On a periodic basis, management reviews its inventory quantities on hand for obsolescence, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be expected to be sold within the Company’s normal operating cycle. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or the market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is otherwise no longer as great as its carrying value, an allowance against the inventory value is established. To the extent that this allowance is established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is recorded in cost of products sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

As of September 28, 2025 and March 30, 2025, the Company’s balances of inventory were $32.6 million and $27.8 million, respectively, net of an inventory obsolescence reserve of $967 thousand and $997 thousand, respectively.

Note 7 Financing Arrangements

 

Factoring Agreements:    To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”), a subsidiary of First Citizens Bank, pursuant to factoring agreements, which have expiration dates that are coterminous with that of the financing agreement described below. Under the terms of the factoring agreements, CIT remits customer payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT. As such, the Company does not take advances on the factoring agreements.

 

CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved shipments, while the Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation occurs, then the Company either assumes (and may seek to mitigate) the credit risk for shipments to the customer after the date of such termination or limitation or discontinues shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, amounted to $110 thousand and $94 thousand for the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and amounted to $180 thousand and $168 thousand for the six-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

 

Credit Facility:    The Company’s credit facility includes a revolving line of credit and a term loan of $8.0 million under a financing agreement with CIT. The Company may borrow up to $40 million under the revolving line of credit, which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, bearing interest at prime minus 0.5% or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.6%, and is secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. The financing agreement for the revolving line of credit matures on July 19, 2029. On September 28, 2025, the Company elected to pay interest on balances owed under the revolving line of credit under the SOFR option, which was 5.9%. The financing agreement also provides for the payment by CIT to the Company of interest at prime as of the beginning of the calendar month minus 2.0% on daily negative balances, if any, held at CIT.

 

At September 28, 2025 and March 30, 2025, the balances on the revolving line of credit were $10.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $13.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, was available under the revolving line of credit based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. The financing agreement contains usual and customary covenants for agreements of that type, including limitations on other indebtedness, liens, transfers of assets, investments and acquisitions, merger or consolidation transactions, transactions with affiliates, and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents for the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

8

 

On June 23, 2025, the Company and CIT amended the Company’s financing agreement with CIT to: (i) provide that, until the Company’s term loan is paid in full, the Company shall maintain at all times Excess Availability (as defined in the financing agreement) equal to or the greater of (a) the sum of the balance outstanding under the Company’s term loan plus $1.0 million or (b) $4.0 million (the “Availability Covenant”); and (ii) reinstate the fixed charge coverage ratio; provided however, that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be tested at any fiscal quarter end in which, during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the Company at all times has been in compliance with the Availability Covenant.  As of September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the Excess Availability requirements.

 

The balance on the $8.0 million term loan as of September 28, 2025 was $5.7 million, including $2.0 million classified as current. The term loan was issued July 19, 2024, is payable by the Company in 48 equal monthly installments and bears interest at SOFR plus 2.25% (6.5% at September 28, 2025).

 

Credit Concentration: The Company’s accounts receivable at September 28, 2025 amounted to $18.4 million, net of allowances of $2.0 million. Of this amount, $16.1 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, which represents the maximum loss that the Company could incur if CIT failed completely to perform its obligations under the factoring agreements. The Company’s accounts receivable at March 30, 2025 amounted to $24.5 million, net of allowances of $1.7 million. Of this amount, $21.9 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, which represented the maximum loss that the Company could have incurred if CIT had failed completely to perform its obligations under the factoring agreements.

 

Fair Value: The Company evaluates the fair value of its debt using the three level fair value heirarchy. Fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs in the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Includes the most reliable sources, and includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Includes observable inputs. Observable inputs include inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the liability, interest rates and forward rate curves, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Includes unobservable inputs and should be used only when observable inputs are unavailable.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, which is considered Level 1, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, which are all considered Level 2, approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nautre of these financial instruments.

 

The following table presents fair value of debt as of September 28, 2025:

The Company uses a valuation model to determine the fair value of its revolving line of credit and the term loan with CIT. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to project the future principal and interest payments over the remaining life of the loans. The significant inputs used in the model are observable market data including SOFR Forward Curves.         

 

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years subsequent to September 28, 2025 are: $1.0 million in fiscal 2026, $2.0 million in fiscal 2027, $2.2 million in fiscal 2028, $500 thousand in fiscal 2029 and $10.7 million in fiscal 2030.

Note 8 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in business combinations. For the purpose of presenting and measuring for impairment of goodwill, the Company has two reporting units: one that produces and markets bedding and diaper bags and another that produces and markets bibs, toys and disposable products. The Company measures for impairment annually as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company reported goodwill net of impairment charges of $13.2 million at September 29, 2024. For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred in relation to the depressed market price of the Company’s common stock and corresponding significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on the goodwill impairment analysis performed, the Company determined that the estimated fair values of its reporting units were lower than the carrying value, indicating the goodwill within these reporting units had been impaired. Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $13.8 million during the three-month period ended March 30, 2025. The Company reported no goodwill at September 28, 2025.

 

Intangible Assets: Our finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired in business combinations. The gross amount, accumulated amortization and net balances of the Company’s intangible assets as of September 28, 2025 and March 30, 2025, are as follows (in thousands):

Note 9 Acquisition

 

On July 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), NoJo Baby & Kids, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain specified liabilities, of Baby Boom Consumer Products, Inc. (“Baby Boom”) (the “Acquisition”), for a purchase price of $18.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Acquisition was funded by the Company using the proceeds of an $8.0 million term loan from CIT and additional borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit with CIT.

 

The Acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The identifiable assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value, which has been preliminarily determined based on available information and the use of multiple valuation approaches. The estimated useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined based upon the remaining time that these assets are expected to directly or indirectly contribute to the future cash flow of the Company. The Company considers the measurement period to have ended as of June 25, 2025 and further considers all measurement period adjustments to be final.

 

The acquisition cost paid on the Closing Date amounted to $16.3 million, which included net working capital adjustment. The following table represents the Company’s allocation of the acquisition cost (in thousands) to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the Closing Date. The excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is reflected as goodwill.

Based upon the initial allocation of the acquisition cost, the Company recognized $5.3 million of goodwill as of the Closing Date, the entirety of which was assigned to the reporting unit of the Company that produces and markets infant and toddler bedding and diaper bags, and the entirety of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill recognized primarily consists of synergies expected from combining operations of Baby Boom and the Company and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition. The following table represents adjustments made to the amount of goodwill during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Amortization expense associated with the acquired amortizable intangible assets was $88 thousand and $65 thousand for the three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and $176 thousand and $65 thousand for the six months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29,2024, respectively, which is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 15 years for the tradename, 14 years for the customer and licensing relationships and 14 years on a weighted-average basis for the grouping taken together.

  

 

Note 10 Advertising Costs

 

Advertising expense is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and amounted to $431 thousand and $133 thousand for the three months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and amounted to $827 thousand and $260 thousand for the six months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

The Company was originally formed as a Georgia corporation in 1957 and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2003. The Company primarily operates indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NoJo Baby & Kids, Inc. and Sassy Baby, Inc. in the infant, toddler and juvenile products segment within the consumer products industry. The infant, toddler and juvenile products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding, toys, bibs, diaper bags, disposables and feeding products.

 

The Company’s products are marketed under Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods. The Company-owned trademarks include Sassy®, NoJo®, Manhattan Toy®, Baby Boom® and Neat Solutions®. Sales of the Company’s products are made directly to retailers, such as mass merchants, large chain stores, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, wholesale clubs, internet-based retailers and direct-to-consumers through the Company’s websites.

 

The infant, toddler and juvenile consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers (both branded and private label), including large infant, toddler and juvenile product companies and specialty infant, toddler and juvenile product manufacturers, on the basis of quality, design, price, brand name recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.

 

Foreign and domestic contract manufacturers produce most of the Company’s products, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company makes sourcing decisions based on quality, timeliness of delivery and price, including the impact of ocean freight and duties. Although the Company maintains relationships with a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes that its products may be readily manufactured by several alternative sources in quantities sufficient to meet the Company's requirements.

 

The Company’s products are warehoused and distributed domestically from leased facilities located in Compton, California and Eden Valley, Minnesota and internationally from third-party logistics warehouses in Belgium and England.

 

A summary of certain factors that management considers important in reviewing the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and capital resources is set forth below, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the preceding sections of this Quarterly Report.

KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The U.S. government has tariffs on imports from certain countries, including China. During 2025, the U.S. government introduced increased tariffs which have increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the imposition of new tariffs on imports from China to the Company’s business and financial condition. The impact of the increased tariffs is uncertain because it is subject to a number of factors, including the duration of such tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any countermeasures that China may take and any mitigation actions that may become available.

 

For additional discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could impact the Company’s operating results, refer to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2025.

Net Sales: Sales were $23.7 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025, compared with $24.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, a decrease of $765 thousand or 3.1%. Sales of bedding and diaper bags decreased by $1.6 million, while the sales of bibs, toys and disposable products increased by $0.8 million. The decrease in bedding and diaper bags was primarily due to the decrease in the number of items included in a program at a major retailer, which was partially offset by an increase in the sales of bibs, toys and disposables.

 

Sales were $39.2 million for the six months ended September 28, 2025 compared with $40.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, a decrease of $1.5 million or 3.7%. Sales of bedding and diaper bags decreased by $1.0 million and sales of bibs, toys and disposable products decreased by $0.5 million. The decrease in the sales of bedding and diaber bags is primarily due to the decrease in the number of items included in a program at a major retailer. Sales were also negatively affected by inventory shortages resulting from the Company’s strategy to minimize the impact of increased tariffs in effect primarily during the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased by $0.4 million from the prior year reflecting a margin of 27.7% for the three-month period ended September 28, 2025 compared to 28.4% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024. This decrease in gross profit is primarily a result of increased tariff costs associated with products imported from China.

 

Gross profit decreased in amount by $0.8 million from the prior year reflecting a margin of 25.8% for the six-month period ended September 28, 2025 compared to 26.9% of net sales for the six-month period ended September 29, 2024. The primary cause of this decrease in gross profit relates to increased tariff costs associated with products imported from China.

 

13

 

Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million and changed to 19.9% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 28, 2025 from 22.3% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in the current year period is due to acquisition costs in the prior period, which was partially offset by increased advertising costs.

 

Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million and changed to 24.1% of net sales for the six-month period ended September 28, 2025 from 23.9% of net sales for the six-month period ended September 29, 2024. The decreased expense in the current year period is primarily due to acquisition costs in the prior period partially offset by increased advertising costs in the current period.

 

Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense increased $0.2 million from the three-month period ended September 29, 2024 to the three-month period ended September 28, 2025, and decreased $0.1 million from the six-month period ended September 29, 2024 to the six-month period ended September 29, 2025. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 23.0% and 21.9% for the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and was 25.1% and 21.4% for the six-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. Our effective rate was impacted by discrete items such as the effects of tax shortfalls and excess tax benefits arising from the forfeiture and expiration of stock options and the vesting of non-vested stock.

 

Although the Company does not anticipate a material change to the ETR for the remainder of fiscal year 2026, several factors could impact the ETR, including variations from the Company’s estimates of the amount and source of its pre-tax income, and the actual ETR for the year could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.

 

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $7.0 million for the six-month period ended September 29, 2024 to $4.4 million for the six-month period ended September 28, 2025. The decrease in the current year was partially the result of an increase in inventories in the current year that was $3.1 million higher than the increase in the prior year and a decrease of $3.2 million in accrued liabilities from the prior year to the current year. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable in the current year that was $4.3 million higher than the decrease in the prior year.

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $16.8 million in the prior year to $260 thousand in the current year which were primarily associated with capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Prior year capital expenditures included $16.4 million for the Acquisition.

 

Net cash used in financing activities, which were primarily associated with net repayments under the revolving line of credit and payments of the term loan, was $3.9 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities in the prior year of $11.0 million. This decrease was due to the issuance of an $8.0 million term loan in the prior year as well as the Company paying down debt in the current year.

 

As of September 28, 2025, the balance on the revolving line of credit with CIT was $10.7 million, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $13.7 million was available under the revolving line of credit with CIT based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances.

 

To reduce its exposure to credit losses and to enhance the predictability of its cash flow, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT under factoring agreements. Under the terms of the factoring agreements, CIT remits customer payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT. As such, the Company does not take advances on the factoring agreements.

 

CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved shipments, while the Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation occurs, then the Company either assumes (and may seek to mitigate) the credit risk for shipments to the customer after the date of such termination or limitation or discontinues shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, amounted to $110 thousand and $94 thousand for the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025, and September 29, 2024, respectively, and amounted to $180 thousand and $168 thousand for the six-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

 

14

 

On June 23, 2025, the Company and CIT amended the Company’s financing agreement with CIT to: (i) provide that, until the Company’s term loan is paid in full, the Company shall maintain at all times Excess Availability (as defined in the financing agreement) equal to or the greater of (a) the sum of the balance outstanding under the Company’s term loan plus $1.0 million or (b) $4.0 million (the “Availability Covenant”); and (ii) reinstate the fixed charge coverage ratio; provided however, that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be tested at any fiscal quarter end in which, during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the Company at all times has been in compliance with the Availability Covenant.  As of September 28, 2025, the Company has complied with the Excess Availability requirements.

 

The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations and funds available under the revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

For a discussion of market risks that could affect the Company, refer to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2025.

 

INTEREST RATE RISK

 

As of September 28, 2025, the Company had $16.3 million of indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate, comprised of borrowings under the revolving line of credit and a term loan. Based upon this level of outstanding debt, the Company’s annual net income would decrease by approximately $122 thousand for each increase of one percentage point in the interest rate applicable to the debt.

 

COMMODITY RATE RISK

 

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company’s exposure to commodity price risk primarily relates to changes in the prices in China of cotton, oil and labor, which are the principal inputs used in a substantial number of the Company’s products. In addition, although the Company pays its Chinese suppliers in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the rate of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. dollar could result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s finished goods. There is no assurance that the Company could timely respond to such increases by proportionately increasing the prices at which its products are sold to the Company’s customers.

 

MARKET CONCENTRATION RISK

 

The Company’s financial results are closely tied to sales to its top two customers, which represented approximately 66% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2025. In addition, 50% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2025 consisted of licensed products, which included 21% of sales associated with the Company’s license agreements with affiliated companies of the Walt Disney Company.  The Company’s results could be materially impacted by the loss of one or more of these licenses.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule(s) 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 28, 2025 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

As previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2025, the Company’s management including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 30, 2025 because a material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting existed related to the Company’s failure to effectively design and maintain controls related to the review and approval of all manual journal entries.

 

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes and has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements as included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.         

 

15

 

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

 

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above. The Company has continued to implement measures to improve the internal control structure. Specifically, the Company is:

 

Improving the Company’s internal control policies and procedures to ensure that there is appropriate segregation of duties regarding the recording and approval of manual journal entries; and

Enhancing the review of manual journal entries, including outlining policies and procedures to strengthen retention of contemporaneous documentation and ensure timely supervisory reviews by management.

 

Management is committed to a strong internal control environment and to remediating these material weaknesses as soon as possible. Management will determine that the material weaknesses have been fully remediated only after the Company has (i) implemented and tested necessary changes and (ii) observed the remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time to determine that such controls are operating effectively. The Company will monitor and report on the effectiveness of our remediation plan.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Other than changes related to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 28, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Controls

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Further, benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The agreements included as Exhibits to this Quarterly Report are included to provide information regarding the terms of these agreements and are not intended to provide any other factual or disclosure information about the Company or its subsidiaries, our business or the other parties to these agreements. These agreements may contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:

 

• should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

 

• may have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;

• were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement and are subject to more recent developments.

 

Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time, and should not be relied upon by investors.
