Natuzzi Reports €74.4 Million in Q3 Sales, Down 0.8% Year-over-Year
- Sales Decline: Natuzzi reported net sales of €74.4 million in Q3 2025, down 0.8% from €75.0 million in Q3 2024, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges that have suppressed consumer spending.
- Gross Margin Improvement: Despite the sales decline, gross margin improved to 36.0% from 31.8% in Q3 2024, primarily due to a better sales mix of higher-margin products and cost savings from rightsizing operations in China.
- Reduced Operating Loss: The operating loss for Q3 was €1.7 million, a significant improvement from a loss of €3.8 million in the same quarter last year, indicating effective cost control and operational optimization efforts by the company.
- Cash Flow Status: As of September 30, 2025, Natuzzi held €18.1 million in cash, down from €20.3 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to cash outflows from operating activities and insufficient cash inflows from investing activities to offset the decline.
