NOTE 17 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

As a public entity, we are required to present disaggregated information by segment using the management approach. The objective of this approach is to allow users of our financial statements to see our business through the eyes of management based upon the way management reviews performance and makes decisions. The management approach requires segment information to be reported based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of the company’s business units or segments. The objective of this approach is to meet the basic principles of segment reporting as outlined in ASC 280 Segments (“ASC 280”), which are to allow the users of our financial statements to:

 

better understand our performance;
   
better assess our prospects for future net cash flows; and
   
make more informed judgments about us as a whole.

 

We define our segments as those operations our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM regularly reviews net sales, gross profit, and operating income by segment as the primary measures of segment performance. The CODM reviews net sales as a primary indicator of operational performance, assessing how much revenue is brought in from core business activities, after returns, allowances, and discounts, which reflects demand and execution of each segment’s strategy. Gross profit, which is derived from net sales and cost of sales, is reviewed by the CODM as a diagnostic metric, particularly useful in evaluating margin trends. Operating income is the key profitability metric used to assess performance across segments and make decisions related to resource allocation, including capital expenditures, headcount, and other investment initiatives. Each of these metrics are considered in budgeting, forecasting, and operational planning decisions.

 

For financial reporting purposes, we are organized into two reportable segments and “All Other”, which includes the remainder of our businesses:

 

Hooker Branded, consisting of the operations of our imported Hooker Casegoods and Hooker Upholstery businesses; 

 

Domestic Upholstery, which includes the domestic upholstery manufacturing operations of Bradington-Young, HF Custom (formerly Sam Moore), Shenandoah Furniture and Sunset West; and

 

  All Other, consisting of intercompany eliminations and operating segments that are not individually reportable. Due to a change in the way management internally evaluates operating performance, beginning with the fiscal 2026 first quarter, Hooker Branded and Domestic Upholstery segments’ results now include all the sales of products formerly included in H Contract’s results. Fiscal 2025 results discussed below have been recast to reflect this change. Subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company completed the divestiture of the Pulaski Furniture (“PFC”) and Samuel Lawrence (“SLF”) casegoods brands, formerly part of the Home Meridian segment. As the PFC and SLF businesses have been classified as discontinued operations, the remaining business does not qualify as a reportable segment, therefore, we combined them in “All Other” in accordance with ASC 280. The Home Meridian segment has been eliminated. The Samuel Lawrence Hospitality product line, along with the remaining Home Meridian businesses, has been reported within All Other.

The following table presents segment information for the periods, and as of the dates indicated. Prior-year information has been recast to reflect the changes in segments discussed above.

We recorded $2.0 million and $4.1 million in restructuring costs in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily related to severance and warehouse consolidation initiatives.

 

Within discontinued operations, we recorded restructuring costs of $3.9 million in fiscal 2026, including $2.4 million associated with the exit of the Savannah warehouse, which primarily supported the PFC and SLF businesses. These costs included fixed asset write-offs, inventory liquidation and relocation expenses, and severance. In connection with the divestiture, we recorded a $6.9 million valuation allowance. In addition, these businesses incurred approximately $1.0 million of bad debt expense related to a customer bankruptcy.

 

As of February 1, 2026, we had accrued restructuring charges of approximately $298,000. The balance is expected to be paid during the next 12 months. The restructuring costs were recorded under cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

No significant long-lived assets were held outside the United States at either February 1, 2026 or February 2, 2025. International customers accounted for less than 2% of consolidated invoiced sales in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024. We define international sales as sales outside of the United States and Canada.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
