Flexsteel sales dip, earnings jump 23%

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, August 18, 2002

Dubuque, Iowa — Upholstery manufacturer Flexsteel Inds. said net sales for its fiscal year slipped 1.8%, but net income rose more than 23%.

The company, which makes seating for residential, commercial and recreational vehicle use, said a strong fourth quarter that saw sales jump 11.7% wasn't enough to offset declines in earlier quarters.

For the year ended June 30, net sales totaled $279.7 million, compared with $284.8 million in the previous year. Net income was $5.7 million, or 92 cents per share, compared with $4.6 million, or 74 cents per share, in fiscal 2001.

The company said sales of residential seating, including stationary and motion upholstery, totaled $193.2 million, a decline of 3% from the prior year. However, the category saw a sales increase of 8% to $51.9 million in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, sales of recreational vehicle seating increased 2% for the year, and commercial seating sales were about even with fiscal 2001.

Fourth-quarter sales totaled $76.9 million, up from $68.8 million in last year's fourth quarter. Net income was $2.7 million, or 44 cents per share, compared with $174,242, or 3 cents per share, in last year's final quarter.
