PART I
Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for the Purpose of “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to long-term goals or anticipated results of the Company, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders.
Statements, including those in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are not historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, supply chain disruptions, litigation, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, changes in foreign currency values, retention and recruitment of key employees, actions by governments including laws, regulations, taxes and tariffs, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon, competition (both U.S. and foreign), credit exposure with customers, participation in multi-employer pension plans, disruptions or security breaches to business information systems, the impact of any future pandemic, and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Item 1. Business
General
Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Flexsteel,” or “Our”) is one of the largest residential furniture manufacturers, importers, and marketers in the U.S. Flexsteel addresses different consumer groups through our core brand, Flexsteel, and several category-specific sub-brands: Zecliner, Statements, Zen, Perfect Match, and Pulse, all of which have unique value propositions tailored to specific consumer needs. We offer a wide assortment of product solutions for different areas within the home including stationary and motion sofas, loveseats, chairs, and sectionals, as well as bedroom furniture, dining tables and chairs, occasional and entertainment tables, and kitchen storage. For more than 130 years, Flexsteel has strived to create strong consumer value with unmatched quality, comfort, and durability, backed by innovation and highlighted by its patented Blue Steel Spring technology, designed to deliver lasting comfort and support. Today, Flexsteel products are available nationwide through retail partners and online channels.
The Company operates in one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company’s furniture products business involves the distribution of manufactured and imported products consisting of a broad line of furniture for the residential market.
Manufacturing and Offshore Sourcing
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company operated manufacturing facilities located in Juarez, Mexico. This ongoing manufacturing operation is integral to the Company’s product offerings and distribution strategy by offering smaller and more frequent product runs of a wider product selection. The Company identifies and eliminates manufacturing inefficiencies and adjusts manufacturing schedules frequently to meet customer requirements. The Company has established relationships with key suppliers to ensure prompt delivery of quality component parts. The Company’s production includes the use of selected component parts sourced offshore to enhance value in the marketplace.
The Company integrates manufactured products with finished products acquired from offshore suppliers who can meet quality specifications and lead-time requirements. The Company will continue to pursue and refine this blended product offering and supply chain strategy, offering customers the requisite amount of choice of made-to-order manufactured goods, and ready-to-deliver imported products. This blended focus on products allows the Company to provide a wide range of price points, styles and product categories to satisfy customer requirements.
Competition
The furniture industry is highly competitive and includes a large number of U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors, none of which dominate the market. The Company competes in markets with a large number of relatively small manufacturers; however, certain competitors have substantially greater sales volumes than the Company. The Company’s products compete based on style, quality, comfort, functionality, price, delivery, service and durability. The Company believes its patented, guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring,
4
manufacturing and sourcing capabilities, facility locations, commitment to customers, product quality, consumer insights, innovation, delivery, service, value and experienced production, sales, marketing and management teams, are some of its competitive advantages.
Seasonality
The Company’s overall business is not considered materially seasonal.
Foreign Operations
The Company has minimal export sales. On June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 30 employees located in Asia to ensure Flexsteel’s quality standards are met and to coordinate the delivery of products acquired from overseas suppliers. The Company leases and operates three manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico and leases one manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico. The Company had approximately 900 employees located in Mexico on June 30, 2026. The four Mexico facilities total 1,061,000 square feet. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not begun operations in the Mexicali facility and expects to sublease the facility until such time that demand necessitates the additional capacity. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and Note 2, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the leased assets.
Customer Backlog
The approximate backlog of customer orders believed to be firm as of the end of the current fiscal year and the prior two fiscal years were as follows (in thousands):

Raw Materials
The Company utilizes various types of wood, fabric, leather, filling material, high carbon spring steel, bar and wire stock, polyurethane foam and other raw materials in manufacturing furniture. The Company purchases these materials from numerous outside suppliers, both U.S. and foreign, and is not dependent upon any single source of supply. The costs of certain raw materials fluctuate, but all continue to be readily available within supplier lead-times; however, we could experience supply-chain disruptions at any time, which could impact the availability of materials.
Artificial Intelligence ("AI")
The Company is leveraging AI to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of its operational execution.
Industry Factors
The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Government Regulations
The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal laws, regulations and agencies that affect businesses generally, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations did not have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
Environmental Matters
All of Flexsteel’s stakeholders have a responsibility to protect our employees and our environment. The officers of Flexsteel and its subsidiaries will use our role as business and community leaders to set the tone at the top to guide our management teams in their efforts to improve the workplace and the environment we directly impact. Because we are committed to sustainable business practices, to our people, and to our communities, we will continue to grow and expand the scope of our dedications to the stewardship of our valued resources. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations with respect to product content and industrial waste. Further discussion is included in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Trademarks and Patents
The Company relies on patents, trademarks, trade secrets, proprietary know-how and other intellectual property in connection with its products and brands, including improvement patents on its Blue Steel Spring, and registered trademarks. In addition, our furniture products are designed by the Company's own design staff and through the services of third-party designers. New models and designs
5
of furniture, as well as new fabrics, are introduced continuously. We evaluate each new model or design for patentability and file patent applications for the United States on inventions, designs and improvements that we deem valuable, but these patents do expire at various times.
Employees
The Company had approximately 1,200 employees on June 30, 2026, including 6 employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Substantially all of the Company's employees are full-time. Management believes it has good relations with employees.
Available Information

Information on our website or linked to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is subject to a variety of risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors detailed below in conjunction with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should any of these risks materialize the Company’s business, financial condition, and future prospects could be negatively impacted. There may be additional factors that are presently unknown to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial that could affect its business.
Risks related to our industry:
Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and other trade restrictions, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We source certain finished products from foreign suppliers, primarily in Vietnam, and have significant manufacturing operations in Mexico. As a result, tariffs and other trade restrictions imposed by the United States can materially increase the cost of products we import into the United States. U.S. trade policy has changed significantly in recent years and remains subject to ongoing legal, political, and regulatory developments. Existing tariffs may be increased, extended, modified or replaced, scheduled tariff increases may take effect, and additional tariffs or trade restrictions may be imposed on products or countries that affect our business.
Increases in tariffs or other trade restrictions could increase our cost of goods sold, require price increases, disrupt our sourcing and manufacturing strategies, reduce our competitiveness, and adversely affect our relationships with suppliers and retail partners. Although we may seek to mitigate these impacts through pricing actions, supplier negotiations, sourcing adjustments or other measures, such efforts may not fully offset increased costs.
Tariffs and trade restrictions may also contribute to inflation, economic uncertainty, commodity price volatility and reduced consumer confidence. Because furniture purchases are generally discretionary such conditions may reduce consumer demand for our products.
Accordingly, changes in tariffs or other trade policies could materially adversely affect our net sales, profitability, cash flows and results of operations.
Claims relating to tariff refunds we have received could adversely affect our financial results.
Following the invalidation of certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, we became entitled to refunds of tariffs previously paid on certain imported products. As of June 30, 2026, we had received substantially all of our eligible refund claims.
Retail partners, suppliers, distributors or other parties may assert claims seeking reimbursement, credits or other payments relating to some or all of these tariff refunds. Any amounts we are required to pay, credit or otherwise settle in connection with such claims could reduce the benefit of the refunds received and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
6
Inflation and changes in foreign currency may impact our profitability.
Cost inflation, including significant increases in ocean container rates, tariffs, raw materials prices, labor rates, and domestic transportation costs, has and could continue to impact profitability. Imbalances between supply and demand for these resources may continue to exert upward pressure on costs.
The Company purchases raw materials, component parts, and certain finished goods from foreign external suppliers. Prices for these purchases are primarily negotiated in U.S. dollars on a purchase order basis. A negative shift in the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our supplier could result in price increases and negatively impact our cost structure. In addition, our manufactured products are produced in Mexico. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefit and indirect costs are made in pesos. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the peso could increase the cost of manufacturing. In addition, the Company has certain assets and liabilities related to our manufacturing operations which are denominated in pesos, primarily our VAT receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico. A negative shift in the value of the peso against the U.S. dollar could result in the value of our receivable decreasing which may impact our earnings.
Our ability to recover these cost increases through price increases may lag the cost increases, resulting in downward pressure on margins. In addition, price increases to offset rising costs could negatively impact demand for our products.
The Company’s products are considered deferrable purchases for consumers during economic downturns. Prolonged negative economic conditions could impact the business.
Economic downturns and prolonged negative economic conditions could affect consumer spending habits by decreasing the overall demand for home furnishing products. These events could impact retailers resulting in an impact on the Company’s business. A recovery in the Company’s sales could lag significantly behind a general economic recovery due to the deferrable nature and relatively significant cost of purchasing home furnishing products.
Future success depends on the Company’s ability to manage its global supply chain.
The Company acquires raw materials, component parts, and certain finished products from external suppliers, both U.S. and foreign. Many of these suppliers are dependent upon other suppliers in countries other than where they are located. This global interdependence within the Company’s supply chain is subject to delays in delivery, availability, quality, and pricing. Changes in international trade policies including tariffs, access to ports and border crossings, or railways could disrupt the supply chain, increase cost and reduce competitiveness. The delivery of goods from these suppliers has been and may continue to be delayed by customs, labor issues, availability of third-party transportation and equipment, geopolitical pressures, changes in political, economic, and social conditions, weather, laws, and regulations. Unfavorable fluctuations in price, international trade policies, quality, delivery, and availability of these products could continue to adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet demands of customers and cause negative impacts to the Company’s cost structure, profitability, and its cash flow.
Enacted tariffs and potential future increases in tariffs on manufactured goods imported from various other countries could adversely affect our business. Inability to reduce acquisition costs or pass-through price increases may have an adverse impact on sales volume, earnings, and liquidity. Similarly, increases in pricing may have an adverse impact on the competitiveness of the Company’s products relative to other furniture manufacturers with less exposure to the tariff and could also lead to adverse impacts on volume, earnings, and liquidity.
Additionally, a disruption in supply from foreign countries could adversely affect our ability to timely fill customer orders for those products and decrease our sales, earnings, and liquidity. The main foreign countries we source finished goods from are Vietnam and Mexico. Additionally, China and Italy are key sources of raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of finished goods. If we were unsuccessful in obtaining those products from other sources or at comparable cost, a disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition, and liquidity.
Finally, the Company relies on third parties to deliver customer orders. The capacity of these third parties or cost of this service could be impacted by labor disputes, cost inflation (particularly fuel), and availability of drivers which could increase cost and have negative impacts on our earnings.
Competition from U.S. and foreign finished product manufacturers may adversely affect the business, operating results or financial condition.
The furniture industry is very competitive and fragmented. The Company competes with U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain or raise the prices of its products in response to competitive pressures or increasing costs. Also, due to the large number of competitors and their wide range of product offerings, the Company may not be
7
able to significantly differentiate its products (through function, value, technology integration, styling, finish, and other construction techniques) from those of its competitors.
Additionally, most of our sales are to distribution channels that rely on physical stores to merchandise and sell our products and an involuntary shut down of those or a significant shift in consumer preference toward purchasing products online could have a materially adverse impact on our sales and operating margin.
These and other competitive pressures could cause us to lose market share, revenues, and customers, increase expenditures or reduce prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity.
Future costs of complying with various laws and regulations may adversely impact future operating results.
The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations which could have a significant impact on operations and the cost to comply with such laws and regulations could adversely impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, inadvertently failing to comply with such laws and regulations could produce negative consequences which could adversely impact the Company’s operations.
Failure to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer or designer tastes and fashions in a timely manner could adversely affect the Company’s business and decrease sales and earnings.
Furniture is a styled product and is subject to rapidly changing consumer and end-user trends and tastes and is highly fashion oriented. If the Company is not able to acquire sufficient cover variety or if the Company is unable to predict or respond to changes in fashion trends, it may lose sales and have to sell excess inventory at reduced prices.
Use of social media to disseminate negative commentary may adversely impact the Company’s reputation and business.
There has been a substantial increase in the use of social media platforms, including blogs, social media websites, and other forms of internet-based communications, which allow individuals to access a broad audience of consumers and other interested people. Negative commentary regarding the Company or its products may be posted on social media platforms at any time and may have an adverse impact on its reputation, business, or relationships with third parties, including suppliers, customers, investors, and lenders. Consumers value readily available information and often act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy or context. The harm may be immediate without affording the Company an opportunity for redress or correction.
Public health events could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to operate, our ability to keep employees safe from a pandemic, our results of operations, and financial condition.
During the initial height of the COVID-19 pandemic, purchases of home furnishings were heavily impacted as they are largely deferrable and heavily influenced by consumer sentiment. Public health organizations recommended, and many governments implemented, measures from time-to-time to slow and limit the transmission of the virus, including certain business shutdowns and shelter-in-place and social distancing requirements. Such preventive measures, or others we may voluntarily put in place, may have a material adverse effect on our business for an indefinite period of time, such as the potential shutdown of certain locations, decreased employee availability, potential border closures, and disruptions to the businesses of our selling channel partners, and others.
Our suppliers and customers may also face these and other challenges, which have led and could lead to a future disruption in our supply chain, raw material inflation or the inability to get the raw materials necessary to produce our products, increased shipping and transportation costs, as well as decreased consumer spending and decreased demand for our products.
Risks related to our operations:
Business information systems could be impacted by disruptions and security breaches.
The Company employs information technology systems to support its global business. Security breaches and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure could interfere with operations, compromise information belonging to the Company and its customers or suppliers and expose the Company to liability which could adversely impact the Company’s business and reputation. In the ordinary course of business, the Company relies on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Additionally, the Company collects and stores certain data, including proprietary business information, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain areas of its businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, and customer-imposed controls. While security breaches and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology networks and infrastructure could happen, none have occurred to date that has had a material impact on the Company. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to the Company’s reputation, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.
8
In addition, in response to shifts in employee workplace preferences, we have allowed certain of our employees the option of a hybrid work schedule where they may choose to work partially from home. Although we continue to implement strong physical and cyber security measures to ensure that our business operations remain functional and to ensure uninterrupted service to our customers, our systems and our operations remain vulnerable to cyber attacks and other disruptions because a material portion of our employees work remotely either full or part-time, and we cannot be certain that our mitigation efforts will be effective.
The use of AI technologies may present risks, including inaccurate or unreliable outputs, data privacy and cybersecurity concerns, and potential regulatory or legal requirements that may evolve over time
We are evaluating and may use artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies in targeted circumstances to support certain business functions, including administrative, customer service, marketing, and operational activities. We have implemented an AI governance framework including Company policies, investment approvals, risk assessments, and Board oversight. Although we seek to use AI responsibly and maintain appropriate oversight of any AI-enabled tools, these technologies are rapidly developing and may not always perform as intended. Any failure to effectively manage risks associated with AI, including risks related to third-party AI service providers, could result in operational inefficiencies, increased costs, legal or regulatory exposure, or reputational harm. In addition, if competitors adopt AI technologies more effectively than we do, they may gain operational or competitive advantages. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The implementation of a new business information system could disrupt the business.
The Company continues to modernize our ERP systems. The Company takes great care in the planning and execution of these updates, however, implementation issues related to the transition could arise and may result in the following:
The Company’s participation in a multi-employer pension plan may have exposure under the plan that could extend beyond what its obligations would be with respect to its employees.
The Company participates in, and makes periodic contributions to, one multi-employer pension plan that covers union employees. Multi-employer pension plans are managed by trustee boards comprised of participating employer and labor union representatives, and the employers participating in a multi-employer pension plan are jointly responsible for maintaining the plan’s funding requirements. Based on the most recent information available to the Company, the present value of actuarially accrued liabilities of the multi-employer pension plan substantially exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. As a result of the Company’s participation, it could experience greater volatility in the overall pension funding obligations. The Company’s obligations may be impacted by the funded status of the plans, the plans’ investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, financial stability of contributing employers and changes in actuarial assumptions. See Note 13, Benefit and Retirement Plans, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Future results may be affected by various legal proceedings and compliance risk, including those involving product liability, environmental, or other matters.
The Company faces the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event the use of any of its products results in personal injury or property damage. In the event any of the Company’s products prove to be defective, it may be required to recall or redesign such products. The Company is also subject to various laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and the discharge of materials into the environment. The Company could incur substantial costs, including legal expenses, as a result of the noncompliance with, or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under, environmental laws. Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, these various legal proceedings and compliance matters could have a material impact on the business, operating results, and financial condition. See Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
We may experience impairment of our long-lived assets, which would decrease our earnings and net worth.
At June 30, 2026, we had $36.0 million in property, plant and equipment and $35.7 million in right-of-use assets associated with leased facilities. These long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The outcome of impairment testing could result in the write-down of all or a portion of the value of these assets. A write-down of our assets would, in turn, reduce our earnings and net worth. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company determined that the right of use asset related to our leased Mexicali, Mexico facility was not fully recoverable and recorded a
9
pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million due to substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 that created significant uncertainty in U.S.-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. If capacity requirements do not necessitate the utilization of our leased Mexicali facility and we are unsuccessful at subleasing the facility in the future, the remaining carrying amount of the right of use asset associated with that lease may not be recoverable. A write-down of all or a portion of the remaining value of the Mexicali right of use asset could have a material impact on our earnings in the period of impairment. At June 30, 2026, the Company does not believe any further impairment indicators exist, but impairment assessment involves the use of considerable judgement and any change in future market or economic conditions could cause actual results to differ from estimates.
The Company’s success depends on its ability to recruit and retain key employees and highly skilled workers in a competitive labor market.
If the Company is not successful in recruiting and retaining key employees and highly skilled workers or experiences the unexpected loss of those employees, the operations may be negatively impacted.
Additionally, we are and will continue to be dependent upon our senior management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of our management team or other key personnel could adversely affect our operations. Ongoing or future communicable diseases increase the risk that certain senior executive officers or a member of the board of directors could become ill, causing them to be incapacitated or otherwise unable to perform their duties for an extended absence. This could negatively impact the efficiency and effectiveness of processes and internal controls throughout the Company and our ability to service customers.
We may not be able to collect amounts owed to us.
We generally grant payment terms between 10 and 60 days to customers, often without requiring collateral. Some of our customers have experienced, and may in the future experience, cash flow and credit-related issues. In the event of negative economic events such as economic recession or significant decline in consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, weather events or natural disasters, public health events or other unforeseen issues with negative economic impact to our customers, which have occurred in the past, we may not be able to collect amounts owed to us. While we perform credit evaluations of our customers, those evaluations may not prevent uncollectible trade accounts receivable. Credit evaluations involve significant management diligence and judgment, especially in the current environment. Should customers experience liquidity issues beyond what we anticipate, if payment is not received on a timely basis, or if a customer declares bankruptcy or closes stores, we may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us by these customers, which could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition, and liquidity. In addition, we have receivables for recoverable value added tax paid under such regimes in foreign jurisdictions, primarily Mexico. The collection of these amounts is subject to approval by foreign governmental agencies who evaluate the claims. Any actions taken by those agencies to delay, limit or deny the amounts submitted or retroactive changes in legislation surrounding these regimes may impact our ability to recover these amounts.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
The Company has a written Emergency Action Plan that includes the handling of material cybersecurity incidents and business continuity if there is a disruption in operations. The Company utilizes a
10
basis. Additionally, we maintain cyber insurance coverage, including protection to further mitigate potential financial losses from cybersecurity incidents.
Governance
The Emergency Action Plan defines the handling of cyber related incidents with support of the cross-functional steering team to assess the potential materiality of cybersecurity events and to report on the detection, analysis, and containment from such events.

Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025
Net sales were $459.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to net sales of $441.1 million in the prior year, an increase of $18.1 million or 4.1%. The increase in sales was primarily driven by $28.0 million of growth in soft seating products, partially offset by a $9.0 million decline in homestyles branded ready-to-assemble product sales and $0.9 million decline in Flexsteel branded casegoods.
Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2026, was 24.7%, compared to 22.2% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 250 basis points (“bps”). The 250-bps increase was primarily driven by a 200-bps benefit from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") Tariff Refunds received and to a lesser extent favorable mix driven by product and customer portfolio optimization initiatives.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $4.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 15.4% in fiscal year 2026 compared to 15.1% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The increase of 30-bps is primarily due to a 70-bps benefit from fixed cost leverage on higher sales volume offset by 70-bps increase in investments in consumer insights, new products and marketing to execute our growth strategy and a 30-bps increase from higher incentive compensation expense.
Income tax expense was $10.7 million, or an effective rate of 24.4%, for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to income tax expense of $6.8 million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of 25.3%. The current year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by lower non-deductible compensation, effect of state and foreign taxes, partially offset by stock-based compensation and a research and development credit benefit. The prior year tax rate was primarily impacted by the effect of state and foreign taxes, offset by a research and development credit benefit. The Company adjusted its provision for income tax and measurement of deferred tax assets in accordance with the One Big Beautiful Act ("OBBBA"). See Note 10, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Net income was $33.1 million, or $6.07 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $20.2 million, or $3.55 per diluted share in the prior year.
On July 31, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order intended to clarify certain matters related to previously issued executive orders on tariffs. This executive order included, among other things, an increase in the country specific tariff from 10%
13
to 20% on goods imported from Vietnam. Accordingly, both our seating and case goods products sourced from Vietnam were subject to tariffs under IEEPA during this period. In addition, beginning in October 2025, substantially all of the seating products we source from Vietnam and manufacture in Mexico became subject to a 25% tariff under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 pursuant to the Presidential Proclamation Adjusting Imports of Timber, Lumber, and their Derivative Products into the United States. For these seating products, the Section 232 tariff superseded the previously applicable IEEPA tariffs. Our case goods products sourced from Vietnam continued to be subject to the applicable IEEPA tariffs until February 2026, when the U.S. Supreme Court held that the tariffs imposed under IEEPA exceeded the authority granted under that statute. Following the Supreme Court's decision, a temporary 10% global import surcharge was imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and became applicable to our case goods products sourced from Vietnam. On July 24, 2026, the U.S. implemented a new tariff framework under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The new framework imposes tariffs of either 10% or 12.5% on imports from certain trading partners, including Vietnam. This Section 301 tariff applies to bedroom, dining and occasional casegood products we source from Vietnam. The majority of our seating products sourced from Vietnam and manufactured in Mexico remain subject to the 25% Section 232 tariffs which, under the existing proclamation, is scheduled to increase to 30% effective January 1, 2027, unless modified prior to that date, and are generally not subject to the additional Section 301 tariffs. In addition, as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's February 2026 decision regarding the IEEPA tariff program, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered the U.S. government to process refunds of tariffs collected under the IEEPA tariff program. These refunds relate only to tariffs imposed under the IEEPA authority and do not affect the Section 232 tariffs that continue to apply to the majority of the Company's upholstered seating products.
Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024
Net sales were $441.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to net sales of $412.8 million in the prior year, an increase of $28.3 million or 6.9%. The increase in sales was primarily driven by unit volume in our soft seating products, offset by a decline in our homestyles ready-to-assemble product line.
Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2025, was 22.2%, compared to 21.1% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 110 basis points (“bps”). The 110-bps increase was primarily driven by fixed cost leverage on higher sales, supply chain cost savings, and product portfolio management.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $3.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 15.1% in fiscal year 2025 compared to 17.1% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The decrease of 200-bps is primarily due to fixed cost leverage on higher sales volume and structural cost savings partially offset by investments in growth initiatives. The prior year SG&A expense also included a $1.5 million expense due to CEO transition costs associated with the revaluation of previously awarded equity awards which did not recur in the year ended June 30, 2025.
In July 2022, Flexsteel commenced a 12-year lease for a manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico to support strong demand growth which was elevated due to pandemic-driven buying at that time. Subsequently, U.S. furniture demand reverted to pre-pandemic norms, and the Company’s plan for the facility pivoted to subleasing the space short-term while maintaining the option to utilize it longer term to support growth. While the Company secured multiple short-term sublease tenants at the beginning of the lease term, substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 created significant uncertainty in US-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. As a result, management concluded that the right of use asset related to this lease was not fully recoverable and recorded a pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. See Note 2, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Dublin, Georgia facility which had been previously recorded as held for sale. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $5.0 million related to the sale. See Note 6, Assets Held For Sale, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 2 separate ancillary buildings, formerly part of its Huntingburg, Indiana distribution center complex. The Company received proceeds of $0.8 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.7 million related to the first sale. The Company received proceeds of $4.0 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.7 million related to the second sale. The Company has adequate distribution capacity to support our growth as we continue to optimize our distribution and logistics network. See Note 6, Assets Held For Sale, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Income tax expense was $6.8 million, or an effective rate of 25.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $5.0 million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of 32.3%. The current year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the effect of state and foreign taxes, offset by a research and development credit benefit. The prior year tax rate was impacted by the effect of state taxes, nondeductible stock compensation, and foreign taxes, offset by a research and development credit benefit. See Note 10, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
14
Net income was $20.2 million, or $3.55 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $1.91 per diluted share in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) on June 30, 2026, was $82.7 million compared to $110.4 million on June 30, 2025. The $27.7 million decrease in working capital is primarily due to an increase in trade receivables of $7.4 million, an increase in inventories of $1.5 million, an increase in other current assets of $0.4 million, a decrease in other current liabilities of $1.4 million, and a decrease of insurance costs of $0.5 million partially offset by a decrease in cash of $23.3 million, an increase in accounts payable of $10.6 million, an increase in sales and advertising of $2.2 million, an increase in payroll and related items of $2.2 million and an increase in operating lease of $0.6 million. Capital expenditures were $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Net cash provided by operating activities
For the year ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $51.5 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $33.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items including stock-based compensation of $4.6 million, deferred income taxes of $4.5 million, depreciation of $3.8 million and provision for credit losses of $0.2 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was $5.3 million and was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $10.9 million due to timing of inventory purchases, a decrease in other assets of $3.5 million primarily driven by collections of VAT receivables, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables of $7.6 million due to timing of shipments and an increase in inventories of $1.5 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $37.0 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $20.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items including an impairment of our Mexicali facility right-of-use asset of $14.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million, and depreciation expense of $3.7 million, offset by gain on disposition of property, plant and equipment of $9.5 million, $3.8 million in deferred income tax benefit, and accounts receivable allowance benefit of $0.2 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was $8.7 million and was primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables of $9.3 million and a decrease in inventory of $7.4 million due to inventory optimization initiatives, offset by an increase in other assets of $7.6 million primarily related to our receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities
For the year ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million, due to capital expenditures.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $9.4 million, primarily due to proceeds of $11.6 million from the sales of property, plant and equipment, and corporate owned life insurance proceeds of $1.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $3.3 million.
Net cash (used in) financing activities
For the year ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $70.9 million, primarily due to common stock repurchases of $63.7 million, dividends paid of $4.4 million and $2.8 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $11.2 million, primarily due to proceeds from lines of credit of $202.3 million, offset by payments on lines of credit of $207.3 million, dividends paid of $3.6 million, and $2.8 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Financing Arrangements
15
Line of Credit
On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities.
On April 18, 2022, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement (“First Amendment to the Credit Agreement”), with the Lender and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term ‘Payment Conditions’ and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61% or an effective interest rate of 4.98% on June 30, 2026.
On June 3, 2025, the Company, at the borrower, entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement ("Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The amendment reduced the maximum revolving line of credit amount to $55 million and modified certain definitions in the Credit Agreement which included dollar figures derived from the maximum revolver amount. The Company initiated the amendment to better align with current and projected borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.
Letters of credit outstanding at the Lender as of June 30, 2026, totaled $0.9 million.
Subsequent to fiscal year end, on August 18, 2026 the Company, as the borrower, entered into a new $30.0 million secured revolving credit facility that replaces the Credit Agreement. The new facility reduces the Company's maximum borrowing capacity from $55.0 million to $30.0 million but extends availability with a new maturity date of August 18, 2029 and is expected to better align with current needs and adequately support the Company’s anticipated future requirements for working capital and general corporate purposes.
See Note 9, Credit Arrangements, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Outlook
Our focus for fiscal year 2027 will be to continue to operate with agility, maintain disciplined cost control, protect our financial position, and invest in the capabilities that we believe will drive long-term growth and shareholder value creation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. We use estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used
16
for such items as the collectability of trade accounts receivable and inventory valuation. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Allowance for Credit Losses – We establish an allowance for expected credit losses to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The allowance is established through a review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.
Inventories – We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of manufactured inventory includes materials, labor and overhead. In addition, finished goods inventory includes capitalized freight, import duties, and warehousing costs. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company’s inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets – We periodically review the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell. We recorded $14.1 million of impairments in the fiscal year 2025 related to our Mexicali facility lease right-of-use asset. See Note 2, Leases, for the Company’s lease disclosures. No impairments were recorded in fiscal years 2026 and 2024.
Income Taxes - In determining taxable income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the calculation of certain tax liabilities and the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years, and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.
At June 30, 2026, the Company determined that based on the weight of available evidence, we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. The realization of our deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. Any reduction in future taxable income, including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Establishing a valuation allowance or an increase in the valuation allowance could result in additional income tax expense in such a period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, as well as disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, taxes or tariffs on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs, decrease demand, and decrease earnings.
Foreign Currency Risk – During fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not have sales but had purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican peso. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefits and indirect costs related to our operations in Mexico are made in pesos and subject to foreign currency fluctuation with the U.S. dollar. The Company does not employ any foreign currency hedges against this operating expense exposure. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the peso could increase the cost of our manufactured product. In addition, the Company has certain asset and liabilities related to our manufacturing operations which are denominated in pesos, primarily our VAT receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico. A negative shift in the value of the peso against the U.S. dollar could result in the value of our receivable decreasing which may impact our earnings. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we utilized a derivative instrument to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk from changes in the peso’s exchange rate for this exposure. This instrument expired on March 31, 2025, without being utilized and the Company does not currently hedge foreign currency risk. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
17
Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s primary market risk exposure regarding financial instruments is changes in interest rates. On June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding balance on its line of credit.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Inventories — Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has inventories of $90.6 million as of June 30, 2026. The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company’s inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company’s inventories. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.
Given the quantitative and qualitative materiality of the balance, coupled with the judgments and subjectivity involved to estimate the markdowns to the net realizable value of inventories, auditing management's estimates of net realizable value required subjective auditor judgment.
20
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to estimated net realizable value of inventories included the following, among others:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026, of the Company and our report dated August 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Flexsteel,” or “Our”) is one of the largest residential furniture manufacturers, importers, and marketers in the U.S. Flexsteel addresses different consumer groups through our core brand, Flexsteel, and several category-specific sub-brands: Zecliner, Statements, Zen, Perfect Match, and Pulse, all of which have unique value propositions tailored to specific consumer needs. We offer a wide assortment of product solutions for different areas within the home including stationary and motion sofas, loveseats, chairs, and sectionals, as well as bedroom furniture, dining tables and chairs, occasional and entertainment tables, and kitchen storage. For more than 130 years, Flexsteel has strived to create strong consumer value with unmatched quality, comfort, and durability, backed by innovation and highlighted by its patented Blue Steel Spring technology, designed to deliver lasting comfort and support. Today, Flexsteel products are available nationwide through retail partners and online channels.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE – The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Under GAAP, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels based on the inputs used in the valuation:: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.
INVENTORIES – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first‑in - first‑out (“FIFO”) method. Cost of manufactured inventory includes materials, freight, import duties and tariffs, labor and overhead. In addition, sourced finished goods inventory includes the purchase price of the product and capitalized freight, import duties and tariffs, and warehousing costs. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company’s inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
VALUATION OF LONG–LIVED ASSETS – The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – Assets held for sale represent land, buildings, machinery and equipment for locations that have met the criteria of “held for sale” accounting, as specified by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Once an asset is classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciating the asset. The assets held for sale are being marketed for sale and it is the Company’s intention to complete the sale of the assets within the upcoming year.
27
LEASES – The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. See Note 2, Leases, for the Company’s lease disclosures.
WARRANTY – The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.
REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We generate revenue primarily by manufacturing and delivering furniture products to independent furniture retailers in the United States. Each unit of furniture is a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations when control of our product is passed to our customer, which is the point in time that our customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit of the goods or services. Net sales consist of product sales and outbound shipping and handling charges for customer deliveries, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is reduced by appropriate allowances, estimated returns, price concessions, or similar adjustments as applicable. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time.
Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts, and allowances are variable considerations and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon historical data and discount percentages, set with each customer. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A).
The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees, and not as variable consideration related to revenue.
Occasionally, the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within “Accounts payable - trade” in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company had $
The Company follows the following practical expedients and policy elections:
ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade-advertising programs, were approximately $
28
DESIGN, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. Expenditures for design, research, and development costs were approximately $
INSURANCE – The Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third-party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $
INCOME TAXES – The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – Basic EPS of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted EPS of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method; all options are anti-dilutive when there is a loss. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested shares based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal year were the end of the contingency period.

STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes long-term incentive compensation plan expenses during the three-year performance periods; stock awards are issued following the end of the performance periods and are subject to verification of results and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval. See Note 11, Stock-Based Compensation.
SEGMENT REPORTING – The Company operates as
TREASURY STOCK – Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has purchased a total of
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and
29
expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted this guidance effective as of the end of fiscal 2026. The adoption affected the Company's income tax disclosures but did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information.
2. LEASES
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, the remaining balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment. Both the lease ROU asset and lease liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.
The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Some of the Company’s leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.
For purposes of measuring the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company’s line of credit. Some of the Company’s leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.
In July 2022, Flexsteel commenced a
For the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company evaluated the triggering events described in ASC 360-10-35-21 and considered current operating, market, legal and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that no new events or changes in circumstances occurred during the year that would indicate the carrying amount of the Mexicali ROU asset may not be recoverable. Accordingly, management determined that an additional recoverability test under ASC 360 was not required. The remaining carrying value of the Mexicali ROU asset, after reflecting normal current-year lease accounting activity, lease was $

10. INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that they believe the assets are more likely than not to be realized.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), enacted into law on July 4, 2025, introduced significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws. The OBBBA made permanent certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 (TCJA) and modified other provisions of the TCJA, as well as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”). These changes included the permanent extension of 100% “bonus” depreciation for certain property, the permanent restoration of the tax-basis EBITDA-based limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense subject to certain modifications to the computation of tax-basis EBITDA, and the immediate expensing of qualified domestic research and development expenses. The OBBBA contained various effective dates with certain provisions becoming effective in 2025 and others in 2026 and beyond. The Company has reflected the impact of the OBBBA on current and deferred income taxes in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company’s shareholders approved the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”) on December 14, 2022 and approved amendments to the 2022 Plan on December 10, 2025.
The 2022 Plan replaced the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP”) and the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). No further awards will be made under either of the Prior Plans, but these Prior Plans will continue to govern awards previously granted under them.
The 2022 Plan is a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted to certain employees, independent contractors and directors of the Company, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares or other stock-based awards. For periods beginning on or after July 1, 2023, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to officers and key employees as part of long-term compensation programs are issued from the 2022 Plan. RSUs and PSUs awarded from the 2022 Plan are included in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation or Restricted Share and RSUs tables below.
36
The LTIP provides for PSUs to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). In conjunction with each grant of PSUs, the Committee granted RSUs under the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan that vested at the end of
The 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan was for key employees, officers and directors and provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance units.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of June 30, 2026.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the CEO and CFO, to assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2026. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on those criteria, management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting is effective as of June 30, 2026.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Benefit Plan Amendments
Effective August 19, 2025, the Company amended its “Cash Incentive Plan,” “Cash Incentive Notification of Award,” and “Severance Plan for Management Employees” to align plan terms with current peer and market practices and improve administrative consistency. Revisions include the removal of outdated tax code references and the alignment of key definitions such as “retirement,” “change in control,” “termination for cause”, “disability”, and “good reason” across benefit plans. Amendments to the “Severance Plan for Management Employees” also include an increase to the change of control protection period to 24 months after termination and an increase to the chief executive officer severance benefits to twice the severance benefits of other eligible employees. The amended “Cash Incentive Plan,” “Cash Incentive Notification of Award,” and “Severance Plan for Management Employees” have been attached to this Form 10-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.11, respectively.
New Line of Credit Agreement
On August 18, 2026, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), providing for a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The New Credit Agreement replaces the Credit Agreement.
The Company intends to use borrowings under the Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Credit Facility matures on August 18, 2029. The Company may prepay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to the terms of the New Credit Agreement.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus a margin of 1.25%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company paid the Lender a commitment fee of $125,000. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.30% per
40
annum on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility and letter of credit fees at a rate equal to the then-effective applicable margin for advances under the New Credit Agreement multiplied by the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are secured pursuant to a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into with the Lender, pursuant to which the Company granted the Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s personal property assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including accounts receivable, deposit accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, software, licenses, payment rights and related proceeds thereof, but excluding the Company’s real property.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, loans and advances, provide guarantees, pay dividends, engage in mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, and enter into certain transactions. In addition, the New Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (i) an Asset Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and (ii) EBITDA of not less than $15.0 million, measured on a rolling four-quarter basis as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due, breaches of covenants, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, material judgment defaults and certain change of control events. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, the Lender may terminate its commitments under the Credit Facility and declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable.
The foregoing description of the New Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Revolving Line of Credit Note and the other loan documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.14 through 10.16 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.
