CULP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Culp, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “company”) include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position. All these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of future results. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements that are included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2025, for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2025.

The company's ~~six~~nine months ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, represent 2740-week and 2639-week periods, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, there were no changes in the nature of our significant accounting policies or the application of those policies from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended April 27, 2025. However, during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we renamed our business segments to better reflect our product offerings: the mattress fabrics segment is now referred to as the bedding segment and the upholstery fabrics segment is now referred to as the upholstery segment. See Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our business segments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update relate to improvements regarding the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation by jurisdiction of information included in the effective income tax rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. Also, the amendments allow investors to better assess an entity's: (i) capital allocation decisions, (ii) worldwide operations, and (iii) related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities that affect the effective income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures relating to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) and remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., our fiscal 2026 annual report). Early adoption is permitted. The company expects that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition, but will have a material impact on the disclosures required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 15.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which is an update to Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. ASU 2024-03 enhances transparency and decision-usefulness of expense disclosures in response to investors' requests for more detailed, disaggregated expense information, enabling a clearer understanding of a public business entity's performance and cost structure. The amendments improve disclosure requirements in the notes to the financial statements for specific expense categories including: (ai) purchases of inventory, (bii) employee compensation, (ciii) depreciation, (div) intangible asset amortization, (ev) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements, (fvi) qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, as well as (gvii) the total amount of selling expenses, and in annual reporting periods, the entity's definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, (i.e., our fiscal 2028 annual report) and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (i.e., first quarter of our fiscal 2029 interim report). Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270) ("ASU 2025-11"). ASU 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. ASU 2025-11 adds a comprehensive list of required interim

I-8

disclosures, clarifies the form and content of interim financial statements, and requires disclosure of events since the end of the previous annual reporting period that materially affect the entity. The guidance in ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 (i.e., first quarter of our fiscal 2029 annual report) and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating ASU 2025-11 to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Except as disclosed above, there are currently no new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Our risk assessment includes the respective customers’: (i) financial position; (ii) past payment history; (iii) management’s general ability; and (iv) historical loss experience; as well as (v) any other ongoing economic conditions. After our risk assessment was completed, we assigned credit grades to our customers, which in turn were used to determine our allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $~~522~~533,000 and $~~518~~507,000 as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Nature of Performance Obligations

Our operations are classified into two business segments: bedding (formerly known as mattress fabrics) and upholstery (formerly known as upholstery fabrics). The bedding segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery segment develops, sources, manufactures, and sells fabrics primarily to residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture manufacturers.

In addition, the upholstery segment includes Read Window Products LLC (“Read”), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as related measuring and installation services to customers in the hospitality and commercial markets. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows. On April 24, 2025 (fourth quarter of fiscal 2025), the company announced a strategic transformation of its operating model that ~~will~~combined ~~combine~~ certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and ~~create~~created one integrated Culp-branded business. As part of this strategic transformation, we ~~are~~closed ~~closing~~ our leased facilities operated by our upholstery segment located in Burlington, North Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee, and ~~are~~transitioned ~~currently transitioning~~ their production and distribution activities utilizing a shared management model within our owned facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina. See note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this strategic transformation initiative.

Our primary performance obligations include the sale of bedding and upholstery products, as well as the performance of customized fabrication and installation services associated with window treatments.

Contract Assets & Liabilities

Certain contracts relating to customized fabrication and installation services associated with Read require upfront customer deposits that result in a contract liability ~~which~~that is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue. Revenue on contract liabilities associated with customized fabrication and installation services is generally recognized within one year, as the satisfaction of performance obligations ~~are~~is generally one year or less. If upfront deposits or prepayments are not required, customers may be granted terms that generally range from 15 to 60 days. Our terms are customary within the industries in which we operate and are not considered financing arrangements.

Tradename

Our tradename pertains to Read, a separate reporting unit within the upholstery segment. This tradename was determined to have an indefinite useful life at the time of its acquisition, and therefore was not amortized.

We were required to assess our tradename for impairment annually or between annual tests if we believed indicators of impairment existed. Accordingly, we performed our annual impairment assessment of Read's tradename as of April 27, 2025. Initially, we performed a qualitative assessment in which we concluded it was more-likely-than-not the fair value of Read's tradename was less than its carrying amount. This conclusion was based on management's decision, announced on April 24, 2025, to strategically transform the company's operating model by combining certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and creating one integrated and Culp-branded business. Since the company is transforming to a single Culp-branded business, Read's tradename will be phased out during fiscal 2026, and will no longer be used to market upholstery fabric products to customers associated with the hospitality industry. Consequently, we recorded an asset impairment charge totaling $540,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which represents the entire carrying value of our Read tradename. This charge was classified as restructuring expense within our Consolidated Statement of Net Loss for the twelve-month period ended April 27, 2025.

Customer Relationships

A summary of the change in the carrying amount of our customer relationships follows:

	Six months ended
	Nine months ended
(dollars in thousands)	~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026			~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025

Our customer relationships ~~are~~related to our bedding segment and Read were amortized on a straight-line basis over useful lives ~~ranging~~of ~~from~~seventeen and nine ~~to seventeen~~ years, respectively.

~~The~~As ~~gross~~of ~~carrying~~February ~~amount~~1, 2026, management performed a qualitative assessment of ~~our~~Read's customer relationships, ~~was~~as ~~$3.1~~certain ~~million~~indicators as of ~~November~~impairment 2existed, ~~2025,~~and ~~October 27~~accordingly, ~~2024,~~we ~~and~~believed ~~April~~it ~~27,~~was ~~2025.~~more-likely-than-not ~~Accumulated~~the ~~amortization~~fair ~~for~~value ~~these~~of Read's customer relationships was less than its carrying amount. Management's conclusion was based on a significant decline in net sales during fiscal 2026 that was more than anticipated. Read's net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 totaled $24.58 million, a decrease of $24.29 million, ~~and~~or 50.8%, compared with net sales of $29.47 million asduring the first nine months of ~~November~~fiscal 22025. In addition, ~~2025~~the decline in Read's net sales and profitability during fiscal 2026 are also attributable to the closure of Read's facility located in Knoxville, ~~October~~Tennessee, 27and the transition of certain production activities to our manufacturing facility located in Stokesdale, ~~2024~~North Carolina, as well strategically sourcing production and ~~April~~materials 27with long-standing supply partners. Based on this uncertainty, ~~2025~~we recorded an asset impairment charge totaling $291,000 ~~respectively~~which represents the entire carrying value of Read's customer relationships. This charge was classified within restructuring expense (credit) within our Consolidated Statement of Net Loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 1, 2026.

The ~~remaining~~gross ~~amortization~~carrying ~~expense~~amount ~~for~~of ~~each~~our ofcustomer ~~the~~relationships ~~next~~was ~~five~~$868,000, ~~fiscal~~$3.1 ~~years~~million, isand $3.1 million as ~~follows:~~of FYFebruary 1, 2026, -January ~~$150~~26,~~000;~~ FY2025, ~~2027~~and -April ~~$280~~27,~~000;~~ FY2025, ~~2028~~respectively. -Accumulated amortization for our customer relationships was $51651,000;, FY$2.3 ~~2029~~million -and $512.4 million as of February 1,~~000;~~ ~~and~~2026, FYJanuary ~~2030~~26, -2025, ~~$51~~and April 27,~~000.~~ 2025, respectively.

The weighted average amortization period for our customer relationships was 4.3 years as of February 1, 2026.

Non-Compete Agreement

A summary of the change in the carrying amount of our non-compete agreement follows:

	Six months ended
	Nine months ended
(dollars in thousands)	~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026			~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025

Amortization expense		(3857	)		(3856	)
Ending balance	$	~~188~~169		$	~~263~~245

Our non-compete agreement is associated with a prior acquisition by our bedding segment and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the fifteen-year life of the agreement.

The gross carrying amount of our non-compete agreement was $2.0 million as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, respectively. Accumulated amortization for our non-compete agreement was $1.9 million, $1.8 million, and $1.8 million as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, respectively.

The remaining amortization expense for each of the next three fiscal years is as follows: FY 2026 - $3818,000; FY 2027 - $76,000; and FY 2028 - $7475,000.

The weighted average amortization period for the non-compete agreement was 2.53 years as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026.

Impairment of Definite Lived -Assets - Bedding Segment

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, management reviewed the long-lived assets associated with our bedding segment, which consisted of property, plant, and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets (collectively known as the "Bedding Asset Group"), for impairment, as events and changes in circumstances occurred that indicated the carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group may not be recoverable. The bedding segment has experienced significant cumulative operating losses commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and continuing through the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026. We believe the significant cumulative operating losses started from a decline in consumer discretionary spending on bedding products, which we ~~believe~~believed stemmed from the following factors: (i) inflationary effects of commodities such as gas, food, and other necessities; (ii) a significant increase in interest rates; (iii) the pulling forward of demand for home goods products during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic, with ~~such demand subsequently shifting to travel, leisure, and other services; and (iv) excess inventory held by customers due to the decline in consumer demand.~~

Based on the above evidence, we were required to determine the recoverability of the Bedding Asset Group, which is classified as held and used, by comparing the carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group to the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset group. The carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group totaled $21.5 million, which represents property, plant, and equipment of $21.1 million, customer relationships of $230,000, and a non-compete agreement of $188,000. The total carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group did not exceed the sum of its future undiscounted cash flows from its use and disposition. As a result, we determined there was no impairment associated with the Bedding Asset Group as of November 2, 2025.

If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset group. The carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group totaled $20.7 million, which represents property, plant, and equipment of $20.4 million, customer relationships of $217,000, and a non-compete agreement of $169,000. The total carrying amount of the Bedding Asset Group did not exceed the sum of its future undiscounted cash flows from its use and disposition. As a result, we determined there was no impairment associated with the Bedding Asset Group as of February 1, 2026.

7. Notes Receivable

Rayonese Textile, Inc.

In connection with the sale of the company's manufacturing facility and related land (collectively referred to as the "Property") located in Quebec, Canada, we entered into an amended agreement, effective April 2, 2025, which incorporated an original agreement and prior amendment (collectively referred to as the "Sales Agreement"), to sell our Property to a third party (the "~~Seller~~Buyer") with a closing date of April 30, 2025. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the total sales price for the Property was $8.6 million CAD ($6.2 million USD as of April 30, 2025), with $2.0 million CAD ($1.4 million USD as of April 30, 2025) paid prior to and at closing, and the remaining balance of $6.6 million CAD ($4.8 million USD as of April 30, 2025) due by April 30, 2026. Interest is earned on the note receivable at rates ranging from 6% to 10% and collected monthly as specified in the Sales Agreement. Refer to Notes 8 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details of the sale of the Property and a description of our restructuring activities.

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, the outstanding balance of this note receivable was $6.6 million CAD ($4.78 million USD), which represents its fair value due to the relative short maturity of this note receivable as specified in the Sales Agreement. As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, we believe there is no expected credit loss related to the collectibility of this note receivable, as the ~~Seller~~Buyer paid $1.4 million USD prior to and at closing and has made all the required interest payments as specified in the Sales Agreement. We will continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances at the end of each reporting period to determine if an expected credit loss is deemed necessary.

Culp Upholstery Fabrics - Haiti, Ltd. ("CUF Haiti")

Effective January 24, 2023, CUF Haiti entered into an agreement to terminate a lease ("CUF Termination Agreement") of a facility located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti. Pursuant to the terms of the CUF Termination Agreement, the original lease agreement (the "Original Lease") was formally terminated when CUF Haiti vacated and returned possession of the leased facility to the lessor. Subsequently, a third party (the "Lessee") took possession of this facility and agreed to pay CUF Haiti $2.4 million in the form of a note receivable over a period commencing on April 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2029, based on the terms stated in the CUF Termination Agreement. In addition, as described in the CUF Termination Agreement, an affiliate of the Lessee guaranteed payment in full of all amounts due and payable to CUF Haiti by the Lessee, and CUF Haiti was fully and unconditionally discharged from all of its remaining obligations under the Original Lease.

The initial gross carrying amount of this note receivable was $2.4 million and was recorded at its fair value of $2.0 million, which represented the present value of future discounted cash flows based on the payment amounts and timing of such payments due from the Lessee as stated in the CUF Termination Agreement. We used an interest rate of 6% to determine the present value of the future discounted cash flows, based on significant unobservable inputs and assumptions determined by management such as: (i) the credit characteristics of the Lessee and guarantor of the CUF Termination Agreement; (ii) the length of the payment terms as defined in the CUF Termination Agreement; (iii) the payment terms as defined in the CUF Termination Agreement are denominated in USD; and (iv) the fact that the facility is located in, and the Lessee and guarantor conduct business in, Haiti, a foreign country. Since management used significant unobservable inputs and assumptions to determine the fair value of this note ~~receivable, this note receivable was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for further explanation of the fair value hierarchy).~~

Effective May 1, 2023, CUF Haiti formally assigned this note receivable to Culp, Inc. (its U.S. parent).

As of November 2, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 27, 2025, the outstanding balance under this agreement was $1.3 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. As of November 2, 2025, we believe there is no expected credit loss related to the collectability of this note receivable, as the Lessee has made all of the required principal payments stated in the CUF Termination Agreement. We will continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances at the end of each reporting period to determine if an expected credit loss is deemed necessary.

8. Assets Held for Sale

AAs ~~summary~~ of April 27, 2025, and January 26, 2025, we classified certain assets as held for sale ~~follows:~~totaling $2.2 million, which mostly related to the manufacturing facility and related land (collectively referred to as the "Property") associated with the closure of our operations located in Quebec, Canada. We determined that the fair value of the Property exceeded its carrying value, and therefore no impairment charge was recorded during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025. The fair value of the Property and equipment was based on quoted market prices from third party sales offers, which we believe are significant observable inputs, and therefore we believe this information was classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

	$	124	$	3,301	$	2,177

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we sold the Property and recognized a gain from this sale totaling $4.0 million that was classified within restructuring credit in the Consolidated Statement of Net Loss for the nine-month period ended February 1, 2026. As a result, the bedding segment did not have any assets classified as held for sale as of February 1, 2026.

(1) In connection with our restructuring activities announced on April 24, 2025 (see Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details), equipment with a fair value totaling $124,000 was classified as held for sale as of November 2, 2025. We determined that the carrying value of $380,000 was higher than its fair value of $124,000, and accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $256,000 during the first half of fiscal 2026. This impairment charge was classified within restructuring credit in the Consolidated Statement of Net Loss for the six-month period ended November 2, 2025. The fair value of this equipment was based on quoted market prices from dealers of this type of equipment, which such prices are either directly or indirectly observable, and therefore we believe this information is classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

(2) In connection with our restructuring activities announced on May 1, 2024 (see Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details), equipment with a carrying value totaling $358,000 was classified as held for sale as of October 27, 2024.

Outstanding balances associated with the ABL Facility may be prepaid from time to time, in whole or in part, without a prepayment penalty or premium. In addition, customary mandatory prepayments of the loans under the ABL Facility are required upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, outstanding borrowing exposures exceeding the borrowing base and certain dispositions of assets outside of the ordinary course of business. Accrued interest is payable monthly in arrears.

12. Fair Value

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls to a lower level in the hierarchy.

I-21

within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls to a lower level in the hierarchy.

The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter based on various factors, and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare.

Investments - Rabbi Trust

We have a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) for the participants in our deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) that enables participants to direct their contributions to various investment options under the Plan. The investments associated with the Trust consist of a money market fund and various mutual funds that are classified as available-for-sale.

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, our investments associated with the Trust totaled $7.10 million, of which $1.49 million, and $5.71 million were classified as short-term and long-term, respectively. As of ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, our investments associated with the Trust totaled $8.0 million, of which $~~919,000~~1.8 million and $76.12 million were classified as short-term and long-term, respectively. As of April 27, 2025, our investments associated with the Trust totaled $7.0 million, of which $1.3 million and $5.7 million were classified as short-term and long-term, respectively. The investments associated with the Trust had an accumulated unrealized gain totaling $~~377~~313,000, $~~221~~216,000, and $150,000 as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, respectively.

~~The~~As ~~fair~~of ~~value~~February 1, 2026, January 26, 2025, and April 27, 2025, the cost basis of our investments associated with the Trust ~~approximates~~was ~~their~~$6.7 ~~cost~~million, ~~basis~~$7.8 million, and $6.9 million, respectively.

Other

The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, lines of credit - current, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of our line of credit - long-term approximates its fair value as the variable rates of interest associated with the respective line of credit are comparable with the market rate of interest.

13. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share uses the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation calculated using the treasury stock method.

Weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share were 12,~~629~~663,000 and 12,~~513~~559,000 for the three months ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

14. Segment Information

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we renamed our two reportable business segments to better reflect our product offerings. Our former mattress fabrics segment is now known as the bedding segment and our former upholstery fabrics segment is now known as the upholstery segment. The bedding segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery segment develops, sources, manufactures, and sells fabrics primarily to residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture manufacturers.

In addition, the upholstery segment includes Read, a wholly owned subsidiary that provides window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as related measuring and installation services to customers in the hospitality and commercial markets. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows. On April 24, 2025 (the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025), the company announced a strategic transformation of its operating model that combined certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and created one integrated Culp-branded business. As part of this strategic transformation, we closed our leased facilities operated by our upholstery segment located in Burlington, North Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee, and transitioned their production and distribution activities to a shared management model within our owned facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina. See note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this strategic transformation initiative.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who regularly reviews the financial results of the company on a consolidated and business segment basis for the purpose of evaluating financial and operating performance and allocation of resources to the individual segments noted above. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the CODM decided to use net sales and gross profit, excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g. restructuring activities), as the primary measure of segment profit or loss. Previously, segment performance was primarily evaluated based on net sales and income (loss) from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and other items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g., restructuring activities). This change was made to align with internal management reporting and the decision-making processes affected by the strategic transformation of the company's operating model announced on April 24, 2025, which combined certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and created one integrated Culp-branded business. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on: (i) net sales, (ii) cost of sales, (iii) gross profit excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (i.e., restructuring related charges and credits), (iv) assets used in operations, which generally include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, right of use assets, and assets held for sale; and (v) capital spending.

As part of this strategic transformation, we are closing our leased facilities operated by our upholstery segment located in Burlington, North Carolina and Knoxville, Tennessee, and are currently transitioning their production and distribution activities to a shared management model within our owned facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina. See note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this strategic transformation initiative.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who regularly reviews the financial results of the company on a consolidated and business segment basis for the purpose of evaluating financial and operating performance and allocation of resources to the individual segments noted above. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the CODM decided to use net sales and gross profit, excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g. restructuring activities), as the primary measure of segment profit or loss. Previously, segment performance was primarily evaluated based on net sales and income (loss) from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and other items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g. restructuring activities). This change was made to align with internal management reporting and the decision-making processes affected by the strategic transformation of the company's operating model announced on April 24, 2025, which combined certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and created one integrated Culp-branded business. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on: (i) net sales, (ii) cost of sales, (iii) gross profit excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (i.e. restructuring related charges and credits), (iv) assets used in operations, which generally include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, right of use assets, and assets held for sale; and (v) capital spending.

Cost of sales for each segment includes costs to develop, manufacture, or source our products, including costs such as raw material and finished goods purchases, direct and indirect labor, overhead, and incoming freight charges. Intangible assets are not included in segment assets, as these assets are not used by the CODM to evaluate the respective segment’s operating performance and allocate resources to the individual segments.

15. Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate

We recorded income tax expense of $1.69 million, or (5330.26)% of loss before income taxes, for the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, compared with income tax expense of $~~190~~635,000, or (13.59)% of loss before income taxes, for the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025.

Our consolidated effective income tax rates for the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. When calculating the annual estimated effective income tax rates for the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, we were subject to loss limitation rules. These loss limitation rules require any pre-tax loss associated with our U.S. or foreign operations to be excluded from the annual estimated effective income tax rate calculation if it was determined that no income tax benefit could be recognized during the current fiscal year. The effective income tax rate can be ~~affected~~impacted over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries located in China, Canada, Haiti, and Vietnam versus annual projections, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar.

I-2827

The following schedule summarizes the principal differences between income tax expense at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025:

"Other" for all periods presented represents miscellaneous adjustments that pertain to U.S. permanent differences such as meals and entertainment, income tax provision to return adjustments, and other miscellaneous items.

(2)

Our consolidated effective income tax rates were adversely affected by the mix of earnings between our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries, as our taxable income stemmed from our operations located in China and a gain from the sale of Property located in Canada during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (see Notes 8 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details), which such jurisdictions have higher income tax rates than the U.S. In addition, we applied a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025. Consequently, an income tax benefit was not recognized for pre-tax losses associated with our U.S. operations totaling $(812.16) million and $(1216.48) million that were incurred during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Lastly, our consolidated effective income tax rates were also adversely affected by pre-tax losses associated with our Haitian operations, which are not subject to income tax. Our Haitian operations are located in an economic zone that permits a 0% income tax rate for the first fifteen years of operations, for which we have seven years remaining. As a result of the 0% income tax rate, an income tax benefit was not recognized for the pre-tax losses associated with our Haitian operations totaling $(~~565~~657,000) and $(~~727~~992,000) that were incurred during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(3)

During the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026, we incurred a consolidated pre-tax loss of $(36.01) million, compared with a significantly higher consolidated pre-tax loss of $(1216.74) million during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2025. As a result, the principal differences between income tax expense at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements were more pronounced during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026, as compared with the first ~~half~~nine ~~period~~months of fiscal 2025.

Such provisions include: (i) no change to the standard corporate tax rate of 21.0%; (ii) increased depreciation allowances for certain property acquired after January 19, 2025; (iii) deduction of certain U.S. research and development expenditures; (iv) limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense; and (v) modifications to GILTI and foreign-derived intangible income. Topic 740 Income Taxes, requires the income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates to be recognized at the date of enactment. Accordingly, we evaluated the provisions of OBBBA and determined OBBBA did not have an impact on our consolidated effective income tax rate, income tax expense, or our U.S. net deferred income tax assets during the ~~six~~nine-months ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, due to the ~~application of a full valuation allowance applied against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets described in the below section titled - U.S. Valuation Allowance.~~

I-28

application of a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets described in the below section titled - U.S. Valuation Allowance.

U.S. Valuation Allowance

We evaluate the realizability of our U.S. net deferred income tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. We assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard, with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Since the company operates in multiple jurisdictions, we assess the need for a valuation allowance on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, considering the effects of local tax law.

IAs of February 1, 2026, we evaluated the realizability of our U.S. net deferred income tax assets to determine if a full valuation allowance was required. Based on our assessment, we determined we still have a recent history of significant cumulative U.S. pre-29tax losses in that we experienced U.S. pre-tax losses during each of the last three fiscal years from 2023 through 2025, and we currently expect significant U.S. pre-tax losses to continue during fiscal 2026. As a result of the significant weight of this negative evidence, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that our U.S. net deferred income tax assets will not be fully realizable, and therefore we provided for a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets.

Based on our assessments as of November 2, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 27, 2025, valuation allowances against our net deferred income tax assets pertain to the following:

Undistributed Earnings

We assess whether the undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely or eventually distributed to our U.S. parent company and whether we are required to record a deferred income tax liability for those undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that will not be reinvested indefinitely. As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, we assessed the liquidity requirements of our U.S. parent company and determined that our undistributed earnings and profits from our foreign subsidiaries would not be reinvested indefinitely and would eventually be distributed to our U.S. parent company. The conclusion reached from this assessment was consistent with prior reporting periods.

A U.S. corporation is allowed a 100% dividend-received deduction for earnings and profits received from a 10% or more owned foreign corporation. Therefore, a deferred income tax liability will be required only for unremitted withholding taxes associated with earnings and profits generated by our foreign subsidiaries that will ultimately be repatriated to the U.S. parent company. As a result, as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, we recorded a deferred income tax liability of $5.4.9 million, $5.01 million, and $5.2 million, respectively.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions

An unrecognized income tax benefit for an uncertain income tax position can be recognized in the first interim period if the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met by the end of the reporting period, or is effectively settled through examination, negotiation, or litigation, or if the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired. If it is determined that any of the above conditions occur regarding our uncertain income tax positions, an adjustment to our unrecognized income tax benefit will be recorded at that time.

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, we had $845,000, $1.4 million, and $790,000 of total gross unrecognized income tax benefits, of which the entire amount was classified as income taxes payable – long-term in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unrecognized income tax benefits would favorably affect income tax expense in future periods by $845,000, $1.4 million, and $790,000 as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, and April 27, 2025, respectively.

Our gross unrecognized income tax benefit of $845,000 as of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, relates to an income tax position for which significant change is currently not expected within the next year.

16. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan Description

On September 16, 2015, our shareholders approved an equity incentive plan titled the Culp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and other equity and cash related awards as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, with certain sub-limits that would apply with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued as defined in the 2015 Plan. Effective September 27, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan (the "Amended and Restated Plan"). The Amended and Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an additional 960,000 shares of common stock in addition to the shares of common stock still available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The Amended and Restated Plan also removed certain sub-limits that previously applied with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued under the 2015 plan.

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, there were ~~407~~316,~~964~~524 shares available for future equity-based grants under the Amended and Restated Plan.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On August 7, 2025, we granted performance-based restricted stock units to senior executives which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if performance targets related to adjusted EBITDA were met over the performance period defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. The number of shares of common stock that are earned based on performance targets that have been achieved are not adjusted based on a market-based total shareholder return component. Accordingly, fair market value was measured based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

On August 8, 2024, January 8, 2024, and September 28, 2023, we granted performance-based restricted stock units to senior executives which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if performance targets related to operating income were met over performance periods defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. The number of shares of common stock that are earned based on performance targets that have been achieved may be adjusted based on a market-based total shareholder return component as defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. Accordingly, fair market value was measured using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock for the performance-based component on the date of grant.

The following table provides assumptions used to determine the fair market value of the market-based total shareholder return component using the Monte Carlo simulation model on our outstanding performance-based restricted stock units granted to senior executives on August 8, 2024, January 8, 2024, and September 28, 2023:

Price per share represents the fair market value per share ($1.15 per $1, or an increase of $0.84 to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant) determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock ($5.59) for the performance-based component of the performance-based restricted stock units granted to senior executives on September 28, 2023.

There were no performance-based restricted stock units that vested during the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

We recorded compensation expense of $2951,000 and $3349,000 within selling, general, and administrative expenses associated with our performance-based restricted stock unit awards for the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded based on an assessment each reporting period to determine the probability of whether or not certain performance targets will be met and how many shares are expected to be earned as of the end of the vesting period. If certain performance goals are not expected to be achieved, compensation expense would not be recorded, and any previously recognized compensation expense would be reversed.

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to our performance-based restricted stock units was $~~261~~215,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 2.64 years. As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, performance-based restricted stock units that are expected to vest had a fair value of $~~279~~225,000.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

~~Litigation~~Legal Matters

The company is involved in legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. Management has determined that these actions, when ultimately concluded or settled, will not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 1, 2026, the company received $1.0 million in cash proceeds in connection with the resolution of a legal matter. The $1.0 million was classified within other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of net loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 1, 2026.

19. Statutory Reserves

Our subsidiary located in China was required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reached 50% of the company’s registered capital. As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, the statutory surplus reserve fund represents the 50% registered capital requirement, and therefore, our subsidiary located in China is no longer required to transfer 10% of its net income in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations.

The transfer to this reserve fund must be made before distributions of any dividend to shareholders. As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, the company’s statutory surplus reserve was $4.12 million. The statutory surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any. The statutory surplus reserve fund may be utilized for business. expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

The company’s subsidiary located in China can transfer funds to the parent company, except for the statutory surplus reserve of $4.12 million, to assist with debt repayment, capital expenditures, and other expenses of the company’s business.

20. Common Stock Repurchase Program

In March 2020, our board of directors approved an authorization for us to acquire up to $5.0 million of our common stock. Under this common stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, through plans established under the Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1, or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of such purchases are based on working capital requirements, market and general business conditions, and other factors.

We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the nine-month periods ended February 1, 2026, and January 26, 2025, respectively. As of February 1, 2026, $3.2 million is available for additional repurchases of our common stock.

I-34

We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the six-month periods ended November 2, 2025, and October 27, 2024, respectively. As of November 2, 2025, $3.2 million is available for additional repurchases of our common stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “target,” “predict”, “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations, projections, or trends for our future operations, strategic initiatives and plans, restructuring and integration actions, production levels, new product launches, sales, profit margins, profitability, operating (loss) income, capital expenditures, working capital levels, cost savings (including, without limitation, anticipated cost savings from restructuring and integration actions), income taxes, SG&A or other expenses, pre-tax (loss) income, earnings, cash flow, and other performance or liquidity measures, as well as any statements regarding dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, ending cash balances and cash positions, borrowing capacity, investments, potential acquisitions, cash and non-cash restructuring and restructuring-related charges, expenses, and/or credits, net proceeds from restructuring-related asset dispositions, future economic or industry trends, public health epidemics, or other future developments. There can be no assurance that we will realize these expectations or meet our guidance, or that these beliefs will prove correct.

Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions. Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects. Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in tariffs or trade policy, including changes in U.S. trade enforcement priorities, or changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Relatedly, litigation is ongoing as to whether businesses that paid tariffs that were invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court in February 2026 may receive refunds for those tariffs, and it is uncertain whether or when the Company may receive any such refunds, which could be significant. Also, economic or political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. The future performance of our business depends in part on our success in conducting and finalizing acquisition negotiations and integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations. The impact of public health epidemics on employees, customers, suppliers, and the global economy, such as the coronavirus pandemic, could also adversely affect our operations and financial performance. In addition, the impact of potential asset impairments, including impairments of property, plant, and equipment, inventory, or intangible assets, as well as the impact of valuation allowances applied against our net deferred income tax assets, could affect our financial results. Increases in freight costs, labor costs, and raw material prices, including increases in market prices for petrochemical products, can also significantly affect the prices we pay for shipping, labor, and raw materials, respectively, and, in turn, increase our operating costs and decrease our profitability. Also, our success in diversifying our supply chain with reliable partners to effectively service our global platform could affect our operations and adversely affect our financial results. Finally, the future performance of our business also depends on our ability to achieve our expected cost savings from past restructuring programs and to return our restructured bedding business to profitability, as well as our ability to successfully integrate our bedding and upholstery divisions and achieve the anticipated operating efficiency and cost reduction benefits of that and similar cost-reduction and efficiency initiatives. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Many of these factors are macroeconomic in nature and are, therefore, beyond our control.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes and other exhibits included elsewhere in this report.

General

Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to April 30. The company's ~~six~~nine months ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, and ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, represent 2740-week and 2639-week periods, respectively. We refer to the three months ended ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, as the "~~second~~third quarter" and the three months ended ~~October~~January 2726, ~~2024~~2025, as the "comparable quarter".

Our operations are classified into two business segments: bedding (formerly known as mattress fabrics) and upholstery (formerly known as upholstery fabrics).

Bedding

The bedding segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. Currently, we have a mattress fabrics manufacturing operation located in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and a sewn mattress cover operation located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti.

On April 29, 2024 (the first quarter of fiscal 2025), our board of directors made a decision to: (1i) consolidate the company's North American bedding operations, including the closure and sale of the company's manufacturing facility and related land ("collectively referred to as the "Property") located in Quebec, Canada; (2ii) move a portion of the knitting and finishing capacity from the company's manufacturing facility located in Quebec, Canada, to the company's manufacturing facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina; (3iii) transition the bedding segment's weaving operation to a strategic sourcing model through the company's long standing supply partners; (4iv) consolidate the company's sewn mattress cover operation located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, from two leased facilities into one building and reduce other operating expenses at this location; and (5v) reduce unallocated corporate expenses and shared service expenses. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this restructuring activity.

Upholstery

The upholstery segment develops, sources, manufactures, and sells fabrics primarily to residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture manufacturers. Currently, we have upholstery fabric operations located in Shanghai, China,; Burlington, North Carolina,; and Vietnam.

Also, Read Window Products, LLC (“Read”), is a wholly owned subsidiary that provides window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as related measuring and installation services, to customers in the hospitality and commercial markets. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows. On April 24, 2025 (the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025), the company announced a strategic transformation of its operating model that ~~will~~combined ~~combine~~ certain activities within the bedding and upholstery ~~business~~ segments and ~~create~~created one integrated Culp-branded business. As part of this strategic transformation, we ~~are~~closed ~~closing~~ our leased facilities operated by our upholstery segment located in Burlington, North Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee, and ~~are~~transitioned ~~currently transitioning~~ their production and distribution activities to a shared management model within our owned facility located in Stokesdale, North Carolina, which has historically been solely operated by our bedding segment. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this restructuring activity.

Net Sales

Overall, our consolidated net sales for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased by $(4.43) million, or (8.2)% compared with the same period a year ago, with bedding sales ~~increasing~~decreasing by 2$(1.34) million, or (4.7)%, and upholstery sales decreasing by $(2.9) million, or (12.34)%. Our consolidated net sales for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 decreased by $(12.6) million, or (7.47)%, compared with the same period a year ago, with bedding sales ~~increasing~~decreasing by 1$(699,000), or (0.18)%, and upholstery sales decreasing by $(1611.69) million, or (15.3)%.

an important strategic focus for this segment. Sales in our commercial and hospitality upholstery business also declined year-over-year, as customer demand in these markets was affected by project delays driven by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

Although the markets we serve continue to face near-term challenges, we believe we are well positioned for future growth. The recent restructuring of our bedding platform, along with the completion of several additional initiatives during the quarter that should positively impact our upholstery segment—including the integration of our U.S. distribution operations and the consolidation of our production footprint in China—strengthens our operating foundation. Combined with our capabilities in product development and customer service, these actions position us to capture additional market share in the current environment and to accelerate sales growth as industry conditions improve.

See the Segment Analysis section below for further details.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $5.83 million, a decrease of $(31.50) million, or (16.1)%, compared with consolidated gross profit of $6.03 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2025, with bedding gross profit ~~increasing~~decreasing 26by $(787,000), or (28.97)%, and upholstery gross profit decreasing by $(16861,000), or (20.34)%. Consolidated gross profit for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 was $1318.03 million, an increase of $~~1.9 million~~920,000, or 175.63%, compared with consolidated gross profit of $1117.14 million, for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2025, with bedding gross profit increasing by $3.91 million, or ~~185~~64.46%, and upholstery gross profit decreasing by $(12.98) million, or (19.79)%.

See the Segment Analysis section below for further details.

Loss Before Income Taxes

Overall, our loss before income taxes for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(43.1) million, an improvement of $~~1.6 million~~540,000, or 2814.07%, compared with loss before income taxes of $(53.7) million for the same period a year ago. ~~Overall,~~Our ~~our~~ loss before income taxes for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 was $(36.01) million, an improvement of $910.83 million, or 7662.78%, compared with loss before income taxes of $(1216.74) million for the same period a year ago.

~~Our~~Although lower comparable sales and other factors adversely affected our operating performance ~~continues~~during the quarter, we continue to benefit from the lower costs and efficiencies ~~flowing~~emanating from our recently restructured bedding manufacturing platform,. Our asoperating ~~well~~performance asalso continues to benefit from our additional actions to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses, ~~which~~and ~~were lower~~implement ~~during~~price ~~the~~increases ~~quarter~~to mitigate tariff impacts. ~~Excluding~~Further, ~~restructuring~~the integration of our domestic upholstery distribution and ~~related~~Read ~~expenses~~window treatment operations into our owned North Carolina facility, along with the reduction of our ~~operating~~facility ~~performance~~footprint ~~improved~~in ~~significantly~~China, ~~year-over-year~~all ~~despite~~of ~~lower~~which ~~upholstery~~we ~~sales~~completed ~~volumes.~~during the quarter, should further strengthen our operating profile going forward.

We continue to make adjustments to our business following the restructuring of our bedding platform in fiscal 2025, including consolidations of our upholstery distribution and Read window treatment operations into our owned U.S. manufacturing campus and the reduction of our facility footprint in China, all of which are on track for completion this fiscal year. We expect these additional initiatives, along with recently implemented price increases to mitigate tariff impacts, to further enhance our overall operating profile going forward.

Income Taxes

Our consolidated effective income tax rates were adversely affected by the mix of earnings between our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries, as our taxable income stemmed from our operations located in China and a gain from the sale of Property located in Canada during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (see Notes 8 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details), which such jurisdictions have higher income tax rates than the U.S. In addition, we applied a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025. Consequently, an income tax benefit was not recognized for pre-tax losses associated with our U.S. operations totaling $(812.16) million and $(1216.48) million that were incurred during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Lastly, our consolidated effective income tax rates were also adversely affected by pre-tax losses associated with our Haitian operations, which are not subject to income tax. Our Haitian operations are located in an economic zone that permits a 0% income tax rate for the first fifteen years of operations, for which we have seven years remaining. As a result of the 0% income tax rate, an income tax benefit was not recognized for the pre-tax losses associated ~~with our Haitian operations totaling $(565,000) and $(727,000) that were incurred during the first half of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.~~

~~During the first half of fiscal 2026, we incurred a consolidated pre~~I-tax loss of $(3.0) million, compared with a significantly higher consolidated pre-tax loss of $(12.7) million during the first half of fiscal 2025. As a result, the principal differences between income 38

~~I-39~~with our Haitian operations totaling $(657,000) and $(992,000) that were incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we incurred a consolidated pre-tax loss of $(6.1) million, compared with a significantly higher consolidated pre-tax loss of $(16.4) million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025. As a result, the principal differences between income tax expense at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements were more pronounced during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026, as compared with the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2025.

Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our provision for income taxes.

Liquidity

As of ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, our cash and cash equivalents (collectively, “cash”) totaled $109.7 million, which represents an increase of $54.1 million compared with cash of $5.6 million as of April 27, 2025. This increase was due mostly to: (i) net borrowings on our lines of credit of $5.3 million; ~~during the first half of fiscal 2026, an increase of $1.3 million compared with the first half of fiscal 2025,~~ and (ii) proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment totaling $~~979~~1.1 million,~~000,~~ partially offset by net cash used in operating activities of $(1.2.3) million.

Our net cash used in operating activities of $(1.2.3) million improved for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $(29.64) million during the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2025. This trend mostly reflects: (i) a decrease in cash losses from savings associated with our restructuring activities announced on May 1, 2024, and April 24, 2025 (refer to section titled "-- Segment Analysis -- Consolidated Other Income Statement Categories -- Restructuring Activities" for further details regarding our restructuring initiatives), and (ii) an increase in cash flow from accounts receivable due to ~~shorter~~faster payment trends ~~associated~~ with ~~the~~key ~~upholstery~~bedding ~~segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2026~~customers, as wewell ~~experienced~~as a ~~higher~~lower sales mix with upholstery customers who had longer ~~credit~~payments ~~terms~~trends; ~~during~~partially ~~the~~offset ~~fourth~~by ~~quarter~~a ofdecrease ~~fiscal~~in ~~2025;~~cash ~~partially~~flow ~~offset by~~from: (i) ahaving ~~decrease~~more infinished ~~cash~~goods ~~flow~~on ~~from~~hand ~~inventory~~to accommodate customers during the transition of our restructuring activities related to ~~strategically~~our ~~sourcing~~bedding ~~certain~~segment ~~fabrics~~and ~~that~~to ~~have~~prepare ~~longer~~for ~~lead~~the ~~times~~supply tochain ~~acquire~~effects of the Chinese New Year Holiday, (ii) rising ~~prices~~costs to produce and source inventory, and (iii) tariffs imposed in accordance with U.S. trade ~~policy~~policies related to imported products, and (iiiv) a ~~decrease~~decline in consumer demand negatively impacting cash flow from accounts payable ~~due to a decline in consumer demand~~.

We had outstanding borrowings totaling $18.35 million under our line of credit agreements, of which $11.35 million and $7.0 million were reported in lines of credit-current and line of credit-long term, respectively, on the ~~November~~February 21, ~~2025~~2026, Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Segment Analysis

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who regularly reviews the financial results of the company on a consolidated and business segment basis for the purpose of evaluating financial and operating performance and allocation of resources to the individual segments noted above. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the CODM decided to use net sales and gross profit, excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g., restructuring activities), as the primary measure of segment profit or loss. Previously, segment performance was primarily evaluated based on net sales and income (loss) from operations before unallocated corporate expenses and other items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (e.g., restructuring activities). This change was made to align with internal management reporting and the decision-making processes affected by the strategic transformation of the company's operating model announced on April 24, 2025, which combined certain activities within the bedding and upholstery business segments and created one integrated Culp-branded business. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on: (i) net sales, (ii) cost of sales, (iii) gross profit excluding items that are not expected to occur on a regular basis (i.e., restructuring related charges and credits), (iv) assets used in operations, which generally include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, right of use assets, and assets held for sale; and (v) capital spending.

~~I-41~~As of February 1, 2026, accounts receivable totaling $8.6 million decreased by $(2.0) million, or (18.7)%, compared with accounts receivable totaling $10.6 million as of April 27, 2025. This decrease mostly represents faster payment trends with key customers during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Accordingly, days’ sales outstanding decreased to 29 days for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, from 35 days for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

As of November 2, 2025, accounts receivable totaling $11.2 million, increased by $623,000, or 5.9%, compared with accounts receivable totaling $10.6 million as of April 27, 2025. This increase represents an increase in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, bedding sales were $30.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million or 13.5%, compared with $27.1 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. However, the increase in net sales was partially offset by faster payment trends with key customers during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Accordingly, days’ sales outstanding decreased to 33 days for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, from 35 days for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Upholstery gross profit was $3.64 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026, a decrease of $(~~704~~861,000), or (1620.34)%, compared with upholstery gross profit of $4.32 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2025. Upholstery gross profit for the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2026 was $11.3 million, a decrease of $(2.8) million, or (19.9)%, compared with upholstery gross profit of $14.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.

~~I-43~~The declines in gross profit within our upholstery segment during the quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2026 were primarily attributable to lower comparable sales and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts associated with our China upholstery operations. These factors were partially offset by our improving cost structure, which allowed us to maintain solid gross margins despite challenging market conditions affecting the home furnishings industry, including both residential and commercial upholstery channels.

Looking ahead, the residential home furnishings sector continues to face headwinds from shifting consumer spending patterns, global trade negotiations and tariff increases, inflationary pressures, declining home sales, and other macroeconomic factors affecting discretionary purchases. As a result, we expect the current low-demand environment for residential upholstery fabrics to weigh on profitability until the market enters a recovery cycle. To strengthen performance, we are consolidating our U.S. upholstery distribution and window treatment operations into our owned facility in North Carolina, with completion on track for fiscal 2026. These initiatives are expected to deliver meaningful profitability improvements. In addition, we are implementing further cost-reduction and efficiency measures, including rationalizing our facility footprint in China, which should be completed this fiscal year and enhance the upholstery segment’s profitability profile. We remain prepared to make additional operational adjustments as needed to align with demand trends while continuing to deliver high-quality service to our customers.

This trend was driven by a decrease in net sales of (12.34)% during the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, this decrease inreflects ~~accounts receivable is due to shorter payment trends during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as we experienced~~ a ~~higher~~lower sales mix with customers who had longer ~~credit~~payment ~~terms~~trends during the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal ~~2025~~2026, as compared with the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal ~~2026~~2025.

As of November 2, 2025, accounts receivable of $9.4 million decreased by $(1.8) million, or (16.2)%, compared with $11.3 million as of April 27, 2025. This decrease in accounts receivable is mostly due to shorter payment trends during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as we experienced a higher sales mix with customers who had longer credit terms during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Accordingly, days’ sales outstanding decreased to 35 days for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, from 46 days for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. I-43

As of February 1, 2026, accounts receivable of $8.3 million decreased by $(3.0) million, or (26.4)%, compared with $11.3 million as of April 27, 2025. This trend stems from a decrease in net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Net sales totaled $20.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, a decrease of (4.5)%, compared with $21.7 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, this decrease reflects a lower sales mix with customers who had longer payment trends during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
