Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC major-group 25 SIC Major Group 25, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ. Descriptive arithmetic - not a score, rating, or ranking.

Overview

Bassett is a leading retailer, manufacturer and marketer of branded home furnishings. We were founded in 1902 and incorporated under the laws of Virginia in 1930. Our rich 124-year history has instilled the principles of quality, value, and integrity in everything we do, while simultaneously providing us with the expertise to respond to ever-changing consumer tastes and meet the demands of a global economy.

Approximately 60% of our wholesale sales arise from our network of 87 Company-owned and licensee-owned Bassett Home Furnishings (“BHF”) stores. Our store program is designed to provide a single source home furnishings retail store with a unique combination of stylish, quality furniture and accessories with a high level of customer service. The stores highlight our custom furniture design and manufacturing capabilities, free in-home or virtual design visits (“home makeovers”) and coordinated decorating accessories. Our philosophy is based on building strong long-term relationships with each customer. Salespeople are referred to as “Design Consultants” and are trained to evaluate customer needs and provide comprehensive solutions for their home decor. Until a rigorous training and design certification program is completed, Design Consultants are not authorized to perform in-home or virtual design services for our customers.

Bassett also has a significant traditional wholesale business with more than 1,000 open market accounts. Most of the open market sales are through Bassett Design Centers and Bassett Custom Studios which function as a store within a multi-line store featuring the Company’s custom furniture capabilities. The wholesale business, including the Lane Venture outdoor brand, also services general furniture stores and a growing number of interior design firms through a network of over 30 independent sales representatives who have stated geographical territories. These sales representatives are compensated based on a standard commission rate. The Lane Venture outdoor brand was recently introduced in the Bassett Home Furnishings stores representing a new outlet for that brand.

We consider our website to be the front door to our brand experience where customers can research our furniture and accessory offerings and subsequently buy online or engage with an in-store design consultant. We know that we are driving a significant percentage of the retail foot traffic to our store network and our open market customers through engagement with www.bassettfurniture.com. Digital outreach strategies have been the primary vehicle for brand advertising and customer acquisition. We began supplementing the digital outreach strategy with added direct mail and television late in 2024 and expect to continue with a balanced blend of both digital and traditional direct mail and television in 2026.

We introduced a new web platform late in 2023 that leverages world class features including enhanced customer research capabilities and streamlined navigation. Since the debut of the new site, we have seen increased engagement with the brand through a greater number of page views per customer along with more time spent on the site. We have also seen an increase in average order value that has resulted in increased e-commerce revenue. Building on the 25% increase in web sales for fiscal 2025, written sales orders for the web increased 34% for the six months ended May 30, 2026 while delivered sales increased 30%. Although e-commerce sales continue to be small relative to in-store sales, we will continue to invest in ongoing improvements to the aesthetics and user experience on our website while not compromising on our in-store experience or the quality of our in-home makeover capabilities.

We have factories in Newton, North Carolina that manufacture both stationary and motion upholstered furniture for inside the home along with our outdoor furniture offerings. We have a factory in Martinsville, Virginia that assembles and finishes our custom bedroom and dining offerings. We also have a facility in Haleyville, Alabama where we manufacture aluminum frames for our outdoor furniture.

In addition to the furniture that we manufacture domestically, we source most of our formal bedroom and dining room furniture (casegoods) and certain leather upholstery offerings from several foreign plants, primarily in Vietnam. Over 75% of our wholesale revenues are derived from products that are manufactured in the United States using a mix of domestic and globally sourced components and raw materials.

During the second fiscal quarter we acquired one retail store from a former licensee in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and opened a new Company-owned store in the Cincinnati, Ohio market. A second new Company-owned store in the Orlando, Florida market is expected to open by the end of fiscal 2026.

Results of Operations – Period ended May 30, 2026 compared with the period ended May 31, 2025:

Historically, housing activity, both new home sales and sales of existing homes, is a primary driver of furniture and home furnishings sales.  Since the COVID boom, housing prices have increased significantly along with the mortgage rates charged for home loans. Many homeowners with historically low mortgage rates are reluctant to sell their homes, and buyers are hesitant to commit amid high prices, higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty.  As a result, housing activity is significantly slower than historical trends resulting in reduced demand for furniture and home furnishings.  This has put pressure on furniture and home furnishings retailers and we have seen an increase in those retailers exiting the industry.  While our sales levels have decreased from the COVID period, we believe our sales have somewhat stabilized over the last couple of years.  In addition, we have gained efficiencies in our operations and reduced our overall expense structure to improve our results of operations.

Consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended May 30, 2026 and May 31, 2025 are as follows:

Bassett is a leading retailer, manufacturer and marketer of branded home furnishings. We were founded in 1902 and incorporated under the laws of Virginia in 1930. Our rich 123-year history has instilled the principles of quality, value, and integrity in everything we do, while simultaneously providing us with the expertise to respond to ever-changing consumer tastes and meet the demands of a global economy.

Approximately 60% of our wholesale sales arise from our network of 86 Company-owned and licensee-owned Bassett Home Furnishings (“BHF”) stores. Our store program is designed to provide a single source home furnishings retail store with a unique combination of stylish, quality furniture and accessories with a high level of customer service. The stores highlight our custom furniture design and manufacturing capabilities, free in-home or virtual design visits (“home makeovers”) and coordinated decorating accessories.  Our philosophy is based on building strong long-term relationships with each customer.  Salespeople are referred to as “Design Consultants” and are trained to evaluate customer needs and provide comprehensive solutions for their home decor.  Until a rigorous training and design certification program is completed, Design Consultants are not authorized to perform in-home or virtual design services for our customers.

Bassett also has a significant traditional wholesale business with more than 1,000 open market accounts. Most of the open market sales are through Bassett Design Centers and Bassett Custom Studios which function as a store within a multi-line store featuring the Company’s custom furniture capabilities. The wholesale business, including the Lane Venture outdoor brand, also services general furniture stores and a growing number of interior design firms through a network of over 30 independent sales representatives who have stated geographical territories. These sales representatives are compensated based on a standard commission rate.

We consider our website to be the front door to our brand experience where customers can research our furniture and accessory offerings and subsequently buy online or engage with an in-store design consultant. We know that we are driving a significant percentage of the retail foot traffic to our store network and our open market customers through engagement with www.bassettfurniture.com. Digital outreach strategies have been the primary vehicle for brand advertising and customer acquisition. We began supplementing the digital outreach strategy with added direct mail and television late in 2024 and expect to continue with a balanced blend of both digital and traditional direct mail and television in 2026.

We introduced a new web platform late in 2023 that leverages world class features including enhanced customer research capabilities and streamlined navigation. Since the debut of the new site, we have seen increased engagement with the brand through a greater number of page views per customer along with more time spent on the site. We have also seen an increase in average order value that has resulted in increased e-commerce revenue. While traffic to the website decreased 8% during 2025, sales conversion rates increased 28% resulting in a 25% increase in total web sales. Although e-commerce sales continue to be small relative to in-store sales, we will continue to invest in ongoing improvements to the aesthetics and user experience on our website while not compromising on our in-store experience or the quality of our in-home makeover capabilities.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 we acquired Noa Home Inc. (“Noa Home”). A mid-priced e-commerce furniture retailer headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Noa Home had operations in Canada, Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom. After nearly two years of operating losses, we concluded during the second quarter of 2024 that Noa Home was not likely to achieve profitability at any time in the foreseeable future and decided to cease operations by selling the inventory in an orderly fashion. As of the end of 2024, we had substantially completed the liquidation of Noa Home’s assets and liabilities. In the second quarter of 2024 we recognized non-cash charges totaling $2,401 related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets of Noa Home and the establishment of a reserve against Noa Home’s remaining inventory at that time. Upon substantially completing the liquidation of Noa Home at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, we recognized a charge of $962 associated with the transfer of the cumulative translation losses out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

We have factories in Newton, North Carolina that manufacture both stationary and motion upholstered furniture for inside the home along with our outdoor furniture offerings. We have a factory in Martinsville, Virginia that assembles and finishes our custom bedroom and dining offerings. We also have a facility in Haleyville, Alabama where we manufacture aluminum frames for our outdoor furniture.

In addition to the furniture that we manufacture domestically, we source most of our formal bedroom and dining room furniture (casegoods) and certain leather upholstery offerings from several foreign plants, primarily in Vietnam. Over 75% of our wholesale revenues are derived from products that are manufactured in the United States using a mix of domestic and globally sourced components and raw materials.

*53 weeks for fiscal 2024 as compared with 52 weeks for fiscal 2025 and 2023.

Total sales revenue for the year ended November 29, 2025, increased $5,357 or approximately 1.6% from the prior year period primarily due to increases in delivered retail sales partially offset by decreases in wholesale shipments to the open market and lost sales from the closure of Noa Home at the end of fiscal 2024. Excluding the lost sales from Noa Home, total sales revenue increased 3.1%.

Gross margins for the year ended November 29, 2025 increased 190 basis points from 2024. Gross margins in the prior year were adversely impacted by increased inventory valuation charges of $1,729 in the wholesale segment, $472 in the retail segment and $500 in the Noa Home operation, as well as $609 of unproductive labor costs incurred during a temporary shutdown resulting from a cybersecurity incident. Excluding the above-mentioned additional inventory valuation charges and unproductive labor costs in 2024, gross margins would have increased 90 basis points primarily due to improved margins in the wholesale segment, partially offset by lower margins in the retail operations.

15

SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the year ended November 29, 2025 decreased 300 basis points reflecting benefits from the prior year restructuring plan and on-going cost containment activities coupled with greater leverage of fixed costs from higher sales levels.

During fiscal 2025, we recognized an asset impairment charge of $498 related to an underperforming retail store
