A swing to a net loss of $1.1 million in fiscal Q3 2026, from a $5.4 million profit a year earlier, underscores the pressure from a 29% revenue drop in the Retail-Flooring segment, which overwhelmed growth elsewhere. The company retains $39.8 million in cash and credit availability, but the flooring business posted a $3.2 million operating loss and shows no sign of recovery amid weak housing markets. With $9.5 million left on its buyback and a $50 million shelf registration already on file, the company has tools to manage liquidity, but the core profitability problem is worsening.
