    Overview

    Culp is one of the largest marketers of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture and other applications in North America. The company markets a variety of fabrics to its global customer base of leading bedding and furniture companies, including fabrics produced at Culp's manufacturing facilities and fabrics sourced through other suppliers. The company competes in a business driven by fashion and product performance, and we strive to differentiate ourselves by placing a sustained focus on creativity and product innovation. In addition, we place great emphasis on providing excellent and dependable service to our customers as well as a supply chain that provides customers with sourcing optionality across a variety of jurisdictions. Our focused efforts to protect our financial strength and manufacturing flexibility have allowed us to maintain our position as a stable and trusted supplier of innovative fabrics to bedding and furniture manufacturers.

     

    At the end of fiscal 2025, we initiated an integration effort involving the combination of our two operating divisions, Culp Upholstery Fabrics and Culp Home Fashions, into one unified business as described below in "Fiscal 2026 Business Integration." However, for financial reporting purposes, our operations are classified into two operating segments— bedding and upholstery. The bedding business markets primarily knitted and woven fabrics, as well as sewn covers made from those fabrics, which are used in the production of bedding products, including mattresses, foundations, and mattress sets. The upholstery business markets a variety of fabric products that are used in the production of residential and commercial upholstered furniture, including sofas, recliners, chairs, loveseats, sectionals, sofa-beds, and seating for offices, healthcare facilities, and other institutional uses, as well as fabric products that are used in the production of upholstered furniture for the hospitality industry, including seating for restaurants, hotels, and theaters. The upholstery business also markets window treatment products and provides installation services for customers in the hospitality and commercial industries.

     

    Culp markets a variety of fabrics and other products in different categories to a global customer base, including fabrics produced at our manufacturing facilities and fabrics produced by other suppliers. In fiscal 2026, we operated production and distribution facilities located in North Carolina, Shanghai, China, and Ouanaminthe, Haiti (on the Dominican Republic border), and we also operated a facility in Tennessee for a portion of the year before closing it in connection with the integration of our two operating divisions.

     

    Culp also sources fabrics and cut and sewn kits from other manufacturers, located primarily in China, Vietnam, and Turkey. Substantially all of these products are created by Culp designers and made specifically for Culp. In connection with the Fiscal 2025 restructuring referenced below, we transitioned the internal weaving operations in our bedding business to a strategic sourcing model primarily utilizing one of our long-standing supply partners in Turkey.

     

    In May 2024, Culp announced a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2025 restructuring”) that was effectively completed during our fiscal 2025 year (with the sale of our manufacturing facility in Quebec, Canada, occurring on April 30, 2025, at the start of our first quarter of fiscal 2026). The Fiscal 2025 restructuring primarily focused on the consolidation of certain operations within our bedding segment. It included a phased wind-down and closure of our manufacturing plant in Quebec, Canada, the transition of a portion of that plant's knitting operations to our manufacturing facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and the transition of that plant's weaving operations to a strategic sourcing model. In addition, the company reduced its fixed cost structure through the consolidation of its sewn mattress cover operation in Haiti and rationalized its internal upholstery finishing operation in China to better align with demand and further leverage strategic supply relationships. See “Fiscal 2025 Restructuring” below for further details regarding the restructuring.

     

    During fiscal 2026, we completed the integration of our U.S. upholstery distribution and window treatment operations into our owned facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and reduced our facility footprint in China. See "Fiscal 2026 Business Integration" below for further details regarding the integration of our two operating divisions into one unified Culp-branded business.

    Fiscal 2025 Restructuring

    At the beginning of fiscal 2025, Culp announced and initiated the Fiscal 2025 restructuring, which was designed to reduce costs, improve asset utilization, and drive performance and profitable growth. The plan, which was mostly focused within the company’s bedding segment and, to a lesser extent, its upholstery segment, included the following strategic actions:

    Consolidating the company’s North American bedding operations, including a gradual discontinuation and closure of the company’s manufacturing plant in Quebec, Canada, and the incorporation of the knitting and finishing capacity at this plant into the company’s facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina;
    Cost efficiency, throughput and quality improvements via the optimization of volume and equipment in the company’s bedding operation in Stokesdale, North Carolina;
    Transitioning the bedding segment’s internal weaving operation to a strategic sourcing model through the company’s long-standing supply partners, which enhanced competitiveness and value for customers;
    Consolidating the company’s Haiti sewn mattress cover operation (which is located on the Dominican Republic border) into one building, which significantly reduced operating expenses at that location;
    Restructuring the company’s upholstery finishing operation in China to better align with demand and continuing to leverage strategic supply relationships; and
    Reducing unallocated corporate and shared services expenses with targeted annualized savings of $1.5 million.

     

    These restructuring actions were effectively completed during fiscal 2025, with the sale of the Quebec facility occurring at the start of fiscal 2026. Since the inception of this restructuring initiative, we incurred cumulative restructuring and restructuring-related charges totaling $5.3 million, most of which related to the bedding segment. Of the total $5.3 million in cumulative charges, we recorded a restructuring credit of $(3.4) million in fiscal 2026 related to the sale of the Quebec, Canada, facility noted above, and we incurred $8.7 million of restructuring and restructuring-related charges during fiscal 2025. The $5.3 million cumulative charges included $7.2 million of cash charges and a $(1.9) million non-cash restructuring credit. For further information about the Fiscal 2025 restructuring, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

     

    Fiscal 2026 Business Integration

    At the end of fiscal 2025, we announced and initiated a strategic transformation of our operating model through the combination of our two operating divisions into a single, integrated business designed to optimize operational agility, further streamline costs and processes, and increase responsiveness to customer needs and market trends. This integration initiative included, among other actions, increased centralization and collaboration among previously division-specific functions and departments, the transition of the duties and responsibilities of certain key division leadership roles to a company-wide scope, and the consolidation of certain upholstery and window treatment operations into a shared management model within our owned Stokesdale, North Carolina facility, which had historically been operated solely by our bedding segment. In addition, we closed leased facilities in Burlington, North Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee, each operated by our upholstery segment, and transitioned their production and distribution activities to the Stokesdale, North Carolina, facility. We also reduced our upholstery facility footprint in China from three to two facilities during fiscal 2026.

    These integration actions were completed by the end of fiscal 2026. Since the inception of this restructuring initiative, we have incurred restructuring and restructuring-related charges totaling $2.7 million, of which $676,000 were incurred in fiscal 2025 and $2.0 million of which were incurred in fiscal 2026. This included approximately $1.4 million in cash costs and $1.3 million in non-cash charges. For further information on the Fiscal 2026 business integration, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

    General

    Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to April 30. Fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 comprised 53-week, 52-week, and 52-week periods, respectively. We refer to the year ended May 3, 2026 as “fiscal 2026,” the year ended April 27, 2025 as “fiscal 2025” and the year ended April 28, 2024 as “fiscal 2024.”

    Our operations are classified into two reportable segments: bedding and upholstery.

     

    On April 24, 2025, the company announced a strategic transformation of its operating model to combine certain activities within the bedding and upholstery segments and create one integrated Culp-branded business. This strategic transformation was completed by the end of fiscal 2026.

    Bedding

    The bedding segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. Currently, we have a bedding manufacturing operation located in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and a sewn mattress cover operation located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti.

    In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our board of directors made a decision to: (1) consolidate the company's North American bedding operations, including the closure and sale of the company's manufacturing facility and related land (collectively referred to as the "Property") located in Quebec, Canada; (2) move a portion of the knitting and finishing capacity from the company's Property located in Quebec, Canada to the company's manufacturing facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina; (3) transition the bedding segment's weaving operation to a strategic sourcing model through the company's long-standing supply partners; and (4) consolidate the company's sewn mattress cover operation located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, from two leased facilities into one building and reduce other operating expenses at this location. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding these restructuring activities.

    All the above restructuring activities were completed as of April 30, 2025. See Notes 7 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the sale of the Property and determination of fair value.

    Upholstery

    The upholstery segment develops, sources, manufactures, and sells fabrics primarily to residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture manufacturers. As of May 3, 2026, we had upholstery operations located in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and Shanghai, China, as well as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Culp Fabrics Vietnam Limited, which has an administrative office and showroom located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Our Vietnam office enhances our strategic sourcing capabilities and further diversifies our supply chain in Asia, while our recently added showroom facilitates better product exposure with our growing customer base there.

    During fiscal 2026, as part of the strategic transformation noted above, we closed a leased upholstery facility located in Burlington, North Carolina, and transitioned its distribution activities to a shared management model within our owned facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina. Our Stokesdale, North Carolina facility had historically been operated solely by our bedding segment. See Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this restructuring activity.

    Additionally, the upholstery segment includes Read Window Products, LLC ("Read"), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as related measuring and installation services, to customers in the hospitality and commercial markets. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows. Read's operations were previously conducted at a leased facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, and also within a leased upholstery facility in Burlington, North Carolina, but these operations were moved to our Stokesdale, North Carolina, facility in fiscal 2026 as part of the strategic transformation noted above.

    Net Sales

    Our consolidated net sales decreased by 4.6% in fiscal 2026 compared with a year ago, with bedding net sales increasing 2.4% and upholstery net sales decreasing 12.5%.

    The increase in net sales in our bedding business was driven by higher demand for our products in the fourth quarter, particularly for sewn mattress covers. Higher sales for the year were partially offset by lower sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 due to muted demand across the bedding industry and related challenges from weaker consumer spending and broader macroeconomic pressures. Despite the market headwinds, we continue to see customers recognize the strategic value of our global footprint and strong U.S. manufacturing capabilities, particularly as the current trade and tariff environment drives increased scrutiny of supply chain cost structure and reliability.

    The decline in net sales in our upholstery business primarily reflects softness in the home furnishings market and its impact on residential upholstery demand, driven largely by depressed housing market trends. In addition, broader macroeconomic pressures have dampened project activity in the commercial and hospitality fabric markets we serve. These factors, as well as incremental pressure on customer demand resulting from ongoing tariff volatility and rising oil prices, affected upholstery sales in fiscal 2026.

    While the markets we serve continue to face near-term challenges, we believe we are well positioned for future growth. The recent restructuring of our bedding platform, along with the completion of several additional initiatives in our upholstery segment during the second half of fiscal 2026 (including the integration of our U.S. upholstery distribution and window treatment operations and the consolidation of our production footprint in China), is expected to strengthen our market position and operating foundation.

    Gross Profit

    Our consolidated gross profit was flat in fiscal 2026 compared with a year ago, with bedding gross profit increasing by 34.9% and upholstery gross profit decreasing by 17.9%. Gross profit margin improved 60 basis points, from 11.8% in fiscal 2025 to 12.4% in fiscal 2026.

    Overall gross profitability for the year benefited from the efficiencies and cost reductions we have generated from completion of our fiscal 2025 restructuring and fiscal 2026 integration initiatives, but was adversely affected by lower sales volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts related to our China upholstery operations.

    See the Segment Analysis located in the Results of Operations section below for further details.

    Loss Before Income Taxes

    Overall, our consolidated loss before income taxes was $8.3 million for fiscal 2026, compared with a loss before income taxes of $18.7 million for the same period a year ago.

    Operating performance for fiscal 2026, as compared to the prior year, improved as a result of lower restructuring and restructuring-related expenses in fiscal 2026, with a $1.4 million restructuring credit in fiscal 2026, as compared to $9.4 million in restructuring and

    30


     

    restructuring-related expenses in fiscal 2025. The restructuring and restructuring-related charges in fiscal 2025 were driven by the fiscal 2025 restructuring primarily associated with our bedding segment, while the restructuring credit in fiscal 2026 was driven by a gain on sale in connection with the sale of our Canadian property as part of the fiscal 2025 restructuring. The restructuring credit in fiscal 2026 was partially offset by restructuring and restructuring related charges associated with our fiscal 2026 integration initiatives.

    Beyond the positive impact from lower restructuring and restructuring-related charges, lower sales and other factors adversely affected our operating performance during fiscal 2026, but we benefited throughout the year from the lower costs and efficiencies resulting from our recently restructured bedding manufacturing platform. Our operating performance also benefited from our additional actions to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses and implement price increases to mitigate tariff impacts. Further, the integration of our domestic upholstery distribution and Read window treatment operations into our owned North Carolina facility, along with the reduction of our facility footprint in China, began to yield some benefits during the second half of fiscal 2026.

    See the "Segment Analysis" located in the Results of Operations section below for further details.

    Income Taxes

    We recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million, or (23.2)% of loss before income taxes, for fiscal 2026, compared with income tax expense of $392,000, or (2.1)% of loss before income taxes, for fiscal 2025.

     

    Our consolidated effective income tax rates during fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 were adversely affected by the mix of earnings between our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries. During fiscal 2026, our taxable income stemmed from our operations located in China and a gain on sale of Property located in Canada during fiscal 2026 (see Notes 8 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details), which jurisdictions have higher income tax rates than the U.S. During fiscal 2025, our taxable income stemmed from our operations located in China, partially offset by a pre-tax loss incurred in Canada due to our restructuring activities during fiscal 2025. In addition, we applied a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred income tax assets during both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively. Consequently, an income tax benefit was not recognized for the pre-tax losses associated with our U.S. operations totaling $(15.1) million and $(18.4) million that were incurred during fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively. Lastly, our consolidated effective income tax rates in fiscal 2026 and 2025 were also adversely affected by pre-tax losses associated with our Haitian operations, which are not currently subject to income tax. As a result, an income benefit was not recognized for the pre-tax losses associated with our Haitian operations totaling $(804,000) and $(1.6) million that were incurred during fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively.

     

    During fiscal 2026, we incurred a consolidated pre-tax loss of $(8.3) million, compared with a significantly higher pre-tax loss of $(18.7) million incurred during fiscal 2025. As a result, the principal differences between income tax expense at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements were more pronounced during fiscal 2026, as compared with fiscal 2025.

    During fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, we had income tax payments totaling $3.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which consist of income tax payments associated with the U.S. federal transition tax associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") and our operations located in China and Canada.

    Refer to Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our provision for income taxes.

    Liquidity

    As of May 3, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents (“cash") totaled $8.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million compared with cash of $5.6 million as of April 27, 2025. This increase was mostly due to: (i) net borrowings on lines of credit totaling $5.7 million; and (ii) proceeds from notes receivable and the sale of property, plant, and equipment totaling $6.2 million, which mostly relates to the sale of Property located in Quebec, Canada, partially offset by net cash used in operating activities of $(9.4) million.

    Our net cash used in operating activities was $(9.4) million during fiscal 2026, an improvement of $8.3 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $(17.7) million during fiscal 2025. This trend mostly reflects: (i) a decrease in cash losses due to savings associated with our restructuring activities; (ii) an increase in cash flow from accounts receivable due to faster payment trends with key bedding customers that had shorter credit terms and utilized more discounts, as well as a substantial payment from a significant customer within the upholstery segment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which payment did not occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025; (iii) an increase in cash flow from a reduction of inventory purchases due to improved alignment with current customer demand trends; partially offset by a decrease in cash flow from: (i) a decrease in accounts payable from a reduction of inventory purchases due to improved alignment with current customer demand trends and (ii) an increase in income tax payments stemming from the gain on the sale of Property located in Quebec, Canada during fiscal 2026.

    31


     

    As of May 3, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings totaling $19.1 million under our line of credit agreements, of which $12.1 million and $7.0 million were reported in lines of credit-current and lines of credit-long term, respectively, within the May 3, 2026, Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    Segment Analysis

    Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who regularly reviews the financial results of the company on a consolidated and segment basis for the purpose of evaluating financial and operating performance and allocation of resources to the individual segments noted above. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, our CODM decided to use net sales and gross profit, excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g., restructuring activities), as the primary measure of segment profit or loss. Previously, segment performance was primarily evaluated based on net sales and income (loss) from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and other items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g., restructuring activities). This change was made to align with internal management reporting and the decision-making processes affected by the strategic transformation of the company's operating model announced on April 24, 2025, which combined certain activities within the bedding and upholstery segments and created one integrated Culp-branded business. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on: (i) net sales, (ii) cost of sales, (iii) gross profit excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (i.e., restructuring related charges and credits), (iv) assets used in operations, which generally include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, right of use assets, and assets held for sale; and (v) capital spending.

    Cost of sales for each segment includes costs to develop, manufacture, or source our products, including costs such as raw material and finished goods purchases, direct and indirect labor, overhead, and incoming freight charges. Intangible assets are not included in segment assets, as these assets are not used by the CODM to evaluate the respective segment’s operating performance and allocate resources to the individual segments.

This increase in net sales was driven by higher demand for our products in the fourth quarter, particularly for sewn mattress covers, partially offset by lower sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 due to muted demand across the bedding industry and related challenges from weaker consumer spending and broader macroeconomic pressures. Despite the continued market headwinds, we secured new programs with major customers across all product categories and expanded our share of available business in targeted channels in fiscal 2026.

    Looking ahead, we see encouraging indications that the bedding market may be stabilizing to a degree, with potential demand improvement driven by product replacement cycles. We remain focused on expanding placements with key customers and increasing market share to drive revenue growth, while continuing to navigate sales pressure stemming from the current macroeconomic environment. We believe that meaningful future sales growth will depend on a broader industry recovery, improved economic conditions, and greater global trade stability. Ongoing geopolitical risks, including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, also have the potential to disrupt global markets and adversely affect sales.

    Gross Profit

    Bedding gross profit increased by 34.9% in fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year. The improvement in gross profit was due primarily to cost reductions and efficiency gains achieved through the restructuring of our bedding segment in fiscal 2025, as well as higher sales, pricing actions, and improved selling margins.

    Accounts Receivable

    Accounts receivable was relatively flat as of May 3, 2026, compared with April 27, 2025. This trend represents an increase in net sales of 12.5% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, offset by faster payment trends with key bedding customers that had shorter credit terms and utilized more discounts during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the same period a year ago. Accordingly, days’ sales outstanding was 32 days during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with 35 days during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
