Culp Provides Limited Fiscal 2026 Outlook Due To Macro-Economic Uncertainty; Projects Sequential Sales Growth, Near-Breakeven To Slightly Positive Q2 EBITDA Amid Restructuring And Market Headwinds

Financial Outlook

Due to macro-economic uncertainty and the fluid global trade and tariff environment, the Company is providing only limited forward guidance. The Company's expectations are based on information available at the time of this press release and reflect certain assumptions by management regarding the Company's business and industry trends, the projected impact of restructuring and integration initiatives, and ongoing market headwinds. The Company's expectations also assume no further meaningful impacts from tariffs and trade negotiations.

• The Company expects sequential sales growth throughout the year in what is expected to remain a low-demand environment for home furnishings.
• The Company expects the cost and efficiency benefits of its restructuring and division integration initiatives, along with price increases, to drive EBITDA results (adjusted for integration, related expenses and other items) in a range from near breakeven to slightly positive for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, and for operating performance and profitability to improve sequentially throughout the remainder of the year.
• While the Company intends to continue utilizing borrowings as necessary under its domestic and foreign credit facilities during fiscal 2026 to fund working capital needs and growth, as well as integration and efficiency initiatives, it will continue to aggressively manage liquidity and capital expenditures and prioritize free cash flow.
