It is noted that revenues were slightly above consensus estimates and posted a 7.9% y/y gain. The gain was primarily attributed to the increased operating days in 4Q25 compared to 4Q24. Despite the macro headwinds, HOFT reported consolidated GPM of 23.3%, an increase of 30bps q/q. The macroeconomic and furniture retail environment remains challenging, with varying interest rates, maintained housing shortage, and elevated home prices contributing to a prolonged downturn. Despite this, the company is focusing on controllable factors to position itself for future growth. As HOFT looks through the current market turbulence it has reached the goal of reducing fixed costs by 10%, or approximately $10.0M. Additionally, the Company has targeted an additional $10.0M in cost savings through the Savannah warehouse exit and additional initiatives. Full realization of these savings are expected by FY27.
