Haverty Furniture Companies’ first-quarter 2026 report shows modest growth in a challenging home furnishings market. Net sales rose to $189.1 million, up 4.1% from 2025, with comparable-store sales up 4.3% and written business up 6.4%, indicating healthier order trends.
Gross margin improved slightly to 61.5%, helped by product selection, pricing, and mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 58.9% of sales, roughly stable year over year, as higher commissions, occupancy, and administrative costs tracked the sales increase.
Net income increased to $4.3 million and basic earnings per common share reached $0.27. Operating cash flow was a $2.9 million outflow, driven mainly by higher inventory and working capital swings, while capital spending was $7.0 million.
The company ended the quarter with $107.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.6 million in restricted cash, plus an undrawn $80.0 million secured revolving credit facility. Havertys operated 128 stores at quarter-end, opened its 129th store in April 2026, paid quarterly dividends, and repurchased 90,590 shares under its ongoing buyback program.
Havertys Furniture Companies, Inc. reported higher first-quarter 2026 results with modest growth in sales and earnings.

Comparable-store sales grew 4.3%, while total written business increased 6.4%, indicating solid demand, especially around Presidents' Day.
Gross profit margin edged up to 61.5% from 61.2%, as higher average tickets and the in-home design program helped profitability. Design consultants drove 35.3% of written business, up from 33.2% a year earlier. SG&A remained tightly managed at 58.9% of sales compared with 59.0%.
The company ended March 31, 2026 with $114.1 million in cash, no debt, and $80.0 million of credit availability, after $7.0 million in capital expenditures, $2.0 million of share repurchases, and $5.3 million in dividends.
