Company Reports $63.5M Revenue for 2025, CEO Discusses Future Growth

Reports revenue $63.5M vs. $64.4M last year. Daniel Frierson, CEO, said, "In 2025, we continued to navigate through a challenging economic environment while staying focused on strategic internal initiatives. Our focus on higher-end flooring markets, operational efficiency and disciplined cost management enabled us to improve year over year gross profit margins and financial results despite ongoing softness in residential demand. We were forced to manage the unexpected implementation of "Liberation Day" tariffs and other tariff measures throughout much of 2025. We implemented price increases in order to mitigate the financial impact of the tariffs, however, the difference in timing of the tariffs and the price increases resulted in a negative financial impact on the year of approximately $1.4M. Our total payment of IEPPA tariffs through March of 2026 was approximately $3.3M. As we closed out 2025 we implemented key drivers as part of a profit improvement plan for 2026 totaling $13M in year over year improvements. These improvements range from price increases to reductions in selling expenses and administrative costs. Throughout 2025 our sales and marketing strategy focused on our strengths in design and color through our Step into Color campaign. Through this initiative we have showcased colors in our standard palette that stands out from our competitors. We also launched an updated custom color program giving our retail and designer partners the ability to custom color any of our white dyeable nylon products. We are building on this momentum in 2026 through several key growth initiatives with our larger retail accounts and buying groups. Our soft surface sales for both the fourth quarter and the year were down less than 1% from the year ago periods. We believe the industry was down approximately 4% for the quarter and approximately 5% on the year, both in comparison to the same prior year periods. Consequently, we continued to gain market share in the carpet market during this difficult period. So far in 2026, our sales pattern is similar to the prior year with sales of soft surfaces down slightly but performing better than our hard surface products. Despite recent reductions in interest rates, market conditions remain uncertain as the overall flooring industry continues to be negatively impacted by low existing home sales, delayed remodeling projects due to low consumer confidence and limited housing availability. Historically, such prolonged periods of decline in the flooring markets have been followed by several periods of strong growth driven by pent up consumer demand. We believe the actions we have taken position us well for long-term growth and value creation."
