Inventory

As of January 26, 2025, inventory increased by $3.5 million, or 12.4%, compared with January 28, 2024. In connection with the restructuring activity described above in “Restructuring Activities,” this trend represents an increase in finished goods inventory to accommodate customers while the weaving operation was transitioned to a strategic sourcing model and knitting and finishing capacity was relocated from the manufacturing facility in Quebec, Canada, to our facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina. This increase in finished goods inventory was partially offset by lower raw material purchases related to the gradual discontinuation of operations at the company's manufacturing facility located in Quebec, Canada, as described above in “Restructuring Activities”. 

As of January 26, 2025, inventory increased by $3.7 million, or 13.4%, compared with April 28, 2024. This trend reflects the effect of the restructuring activity described in the preceding paragraph. In addition, the increase in inventory represents an increase in net sales of $2.9 million, or 11.2%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. 

Inventory turns were 3.4 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as compared with 4.0 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and 3.6 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
