Natuzzi Q1 Revenue Plunges 24%, Launches Restructuring with Plant Closures
NTZ is trading near its 52-week low of $1.21 (11% above the low) on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
Natuzzi's Q1 revenue dropped 24% year-over-year to EUR 59.5 million, with a wider operating loss driven by weak demand and geopolitical headwinds. The company launched a restructuring plan that includes plant closures, voluntary exits, and shifting production to Romania to cut costs. This follows the going-concern warning and NYSE compliance plan disclosed in May, deepening the crisis. The restructuring aims to align operations with depressed demand, but near-term results will remain under pressure. The market will watch for execution details on the August 6 conference call.
At the time of this announcement, NTZ was trading at $1.34 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $14.6M. The 52-week trading range was $1.21 to $4.46.
