Dixie Group reports Q3 EPS (28c) vs. (26c) last year

Reports Q3 revenue $62.4M vs. $64.9M last year. Commenting on the results, Daniel K. Frierson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Third quarter sales got off to a slow start as a result of headwinds in the housing markets tied to high interest rates and high housing prices. Despite a slow start to the quarter, we saw a strong rebound in sales for September giving us momentum as we entered the fourth quarter. The average weekly order entry rate for the first month of the fourth quarter was 12% above the average weekly order entry rate in the third quarter and close to last year’s level for the same period. Looking ahead to the 2026 fiscal year, we are focused on a profit improvement plan consisting of year over year cost reductions and operational efficiencies in excess of $10 million. The vast majority of these profit improvement initiatives have already been implemented. This includes price increases announced during the third quarter to offset the costs of tariffs, freight and other production-related cost increases we have experienced.”
