Culp, Inc. reported a smaller net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as restructuring gains offset softer sales. For the three months ended November 2, 2025, net sales were $53.2 million versus $55.7 million a year earlier, with a net loss of $4.3 million compared with $5.6 million. Over the first six months, sales declined to $103.9 million from $112.2 million, but the net loss narrowed sharply to $4.5 million from $12.9 million, helped by a $3.0 million restructuring credit that includes a $4.0 million gain on the sale of a Quebec manufacturing property.
Gross profit improved year-to-date despite lower revenue, while operating loss shrank from $12.3 million to $1.8 million. Cash used in operations was $1.2 million, with cash and cash equivalents rising to $10.7 million at period end, supported by higher borrowings under lines of credit totaling $18.3 million. Shareholders’ equity decreased to $53.6 million, reflecting accumulated losses, and the company continues multi-year restructuring and a strategic transformation to combine its bedding and upholstery operations into a single Culp-branded business.
Culp, Inc. filed a Form 8-K to announce that it released its financial results for the second quarter ended November 2, 2025, via a news release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. The company emphasizes extensive use of non-U.S. GAAP measures, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted income (loss) from operations, net debt, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted EBITDA, each reconciled to GAAP in the release.
These adjustments mainly remove restructuring credits and charges tied to the sale of a mattress fabrics facility in Quebec, Canada and segment integration initiatives, as well as other non-recurring items. Beginning with this quarter, Culp also modified its adjusted EBITDA definition to exclude non-cash foreign exchange impacts, aiming to focus on operational performance. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate the business, guide cash decisions, and as inputs to incentive-based executive compensation, while cautioning they are not substitutes for GAAP results.
