Crown Crafts Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2026

Gonzales, Louisiana - August 13, 2025, Crown Crafts, Inc. (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) (the "Company") today reported results for the first quarter fiscal year 2026, which ended June 29, 2025.

First Quarter Summary

Olivia Elliott, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our first quarter results reflect the themes we outlined in our financial results for fiscal year 2025. While the Baby Boom acquisition added $2.1 million in net sales during the first quarter, the persistent impact of tariffs and uncertainty over their permanent levels affected both consumers and suppliers. Despite these uncertainties, we managed just a modest decline in sales and gross profit. As we have noted, we will continue to navigate the tariff environment and search for ways to mitigate their impact, while focusing on increasing sales and market share."

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Net sales decreased to $15.5 million for the three months ended June 29, 2025 compared with $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $734,000, or 4.5%. Sales of bedding and diaper bags increased by $540,000 while sales of bibs, toys and disposable products decreased by $1.3 million. The Baby Boom acquisition added $2.1 million in net sales during the three months ended June 29, 2025; however, sales across all categories were negatively affected by inventory shortages resulting from the Company's strategy to minimize the impact of the extremely high tariffs in effect during the first half of the quarter.

Gross profit decreased by $448,000 from the prior year resulting in a decrease from 24.5% of net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, to 22.7% of net sales for the three-month period ended June 29, 2025. This decrease in gross profit is primarily a result of increased tariff costs associated with products imported from China.

Marketing and administrative expenses increased by $454,000 and increased from 26.3% of net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, to 30.5% of net sales for the three-month period ended June 29, 2025. The current year includes increased costs associated with the acquisition of Baby Boom as well as increased advertising costs.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's Series A common stock of $0.08 per share, which will be paid on October 3, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 12, 2025.
