Dixie Group reports Q2 EPS 8c vs. 4c last year

Reports Q2 revenue $68.5M vs. $70.5M last year. Commenting on the results, Daniel K. Frierson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Company had a net income of $1.2 million in the second quarter. Despite lower year over year sales volume, we were able to produce stronger operating margins at 29.2% of net sales compared to 28.1% in the same quarter of the prior year. We also reduced our year over year selling and administrative expenses. These favorable results in 2025 are primarily the result of our cost reduction plan which is currently estimated to produce $12.6 million in reduced spending year over year. Weak market conditions continued to negatively impact flooring industry sales in the second quarter of 2025, with high interest rates and low consumer confidence being key factors leading to slow home sales and weak home remodeling numbers. Our soft surface sales outpaced the market in the second quarter as we were relatively flat year over year where the industry, we believe, was down 7%. A key growth segment in our soft surface products was our DuraSilk(TM) SD collection, which continues to gain share of the polyester market. Also, continued growth of our high-end decorative segment resulted in one of our strongest quarters for the sales of our decorative products.”
