The EPS miss and sharp margin compression from FX and inflation are the key negatives, partially offset by 3.2% revenue growth and a 5% order increase. Watch Q2 guidance execution closely: the 6.5%-7.0% operating margin forecast implies a recovery from Q1's 6.0% but still below the 8.1% a year ago. The cash burn to $4.4M is a concern given the $2.2M in buybacks.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Flexsteel reported fiscal Q1 2027 net sales of $114.0M (+3.2% YoY), in line with the $112.7M consensus, but GAAP diluted EPS of $1.24 missed the $1.25 consensus estimate. Operating income fell to $6.9M from $9.0M a year ago, with gross margin contracting 150 bps to 22.0% due to FX translation and inflation. The company guided Q2 FY2027 sales of $119.5M-$123.0M (1%-4% growth) and GAAP operating margin of 6.5%-7.0%, implying a sequential improvement but still below the prior year's 8.1% margin.
