**PART I**

**Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for the Purpose of "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995** 

The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to long-term goals or anticipated results of the Company, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders.

Statements, including those in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are not historical or current facts, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, supply chain disruptions, litigation, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, changes in foreign currency values, retention and recruitment of key employees, actions by governments including laws, regulations, taxes and tariffs, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon, competition (both U.S. and foreign), credit exposure with customers, participation in multi-employer pension plans, disruptions or security breaches to business information systems, the impact of any future pandemic, and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the "Risk Factors" section in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

**Item 1. Business**

*General*

Flexsteel Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is one of the largest manufacturers, importers, and marketers of residential furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining rocking chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, kitchen storage, bedroom furniture, and outdoor furniture. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which the name "Flexsteel" is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through its e-commerce channel and direct sales force.

The Company operates in one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company's furniture products business involves the distribution of manufactured and imported products consisting of a broad line of furniture for the residential market.

*Manufacturing and Offshore Sourcing*

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company operated manufacturing facilities located in Juarez, Mexico. This ongoing manufacturing operation is integral to the Company's product offerings and distribution strategy by offering smaller and more frequent product runs of a wider product selection. The Company identifies and eliminates manufacturing inefficiencies and adjusts manufacturing schedules on a daily basis to meet customer requirements. The Company has established relationships with key suppliers to ensure prompt delivery of quality component parts. The Company's production includes the use of selected component parts sourced offshore to enhance value in the marketplace.

The Company integrates manufactured products with finished products acquired from offshore suppliers who can meet quality specifications and scheduling requirements. The Company will continue to pursue and refine this blended strategy, offering customers manufactured goods, products manufactured utilizing imported component parts, and ready-to-deliver imported products. This blended focus on products allows the Company to provide a wide range of price points, styles and product categories to satisfy customer requirements.

*Competition*

The furniture industry is highly competitive and includes a large number of U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors, none of which dominate the market. The Company competes in markets with a large number of relatively small manufacturers; however, certain competitors have substantially greater sales volumes than the Company. The Company's products compete based on style, quality, comfort, price, delivery, service and durability. The Company believes its patented, guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring, manufacturing and sourcing capabilities, facility locations, commitment to customers, product quality, delivery, service, value and experienced production, sales, marketing and management teams, are some of its competitive advantages.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

*Seasonality*

The Company's business is not considered seasonal.

*Foreign Operations*

The Company has minimal export sales. On June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 30 employees located in Asia to ensure Flexsteel's quality standards are met and to coordinate the delivery of products acquired from overseas suppliers. The Company leases and operates three manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico and leases one manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico. The Company had approximately 1,000 employees located in Mexico on June 30, 2025. The four Mexico facilities total 1,061,000 square feet. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not begun operations in the Mexicali facility and expects to sublease the facility until such time that demand necessitates the additional capacity. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A and Note 2 *Leases* of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the leased assets.

*Customer Backlog*

The approximate backlog of customer orders believed to be firm as of the end of the current fiscal year and the prior two fiscal years were as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2024** | **June 30, 2023** |
| $66465 | $59543 | $49729 |

---

*Raw Materials*

The Company utilizes various types of wood, fabric, leather, filling material, high carbon spring steel, bar and wire stock, polyurethane foam and other raw materials in manufacturing furniture. The Company purchases these materials from numerous outside suppliers, both U.S. and foreign, and is not dependent upon any single source of supply. The costs of certain raw materials fluctuate, but all continue to be readily available within supplier lead-times; however, we could experience supply-chain disruptions at any time, which could impact the availability of materials.

*Industry Factors*

The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs, see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Government Regulations*

The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal laws, regulations and agencies that affect businesses generally, see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations did not have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

*Environmental Matters*

All of Flexsteel's stakeholders have a responsibility to protect our employees and our environment. The officers of Flexsteel and its subsidiaries will use our role as business and community leaders to set the tone at the top to guide our management teams in their efforts to improve the workplace and the environment we directly impact. Because we are committed to sustainable business practices, to our people, and to our communities, we will continue to grow and expand the scope of our dedications to the stewardship of our valued resources. The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations with respect to product content and industrial waste. Further discussion is included in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Trademarks and Patents*

The Company owns the United States improvement patents to its Flexsteel guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring – the all-riveted, high-carbon, steel-banded seating platform that gives upholstered and leather furniture the strength and comfort to last a lifetime, as well as patents on convertible beds. The Company owns other patents and owns certain trademarks in connection with its furniture.

It is not common in the furniture industry to obtain a patent for furniture design. If a particular design of a furniture manufacturer is well accepted in the marketplace, it is common for other manufacturers to imitate the same design without recourse by the furniture manufacturer who initially introduced the design. Furniture products are designed by the Company's own design staff and through the services of third-party designers. New models and designs of furniture, as well as new fabrics, are introduced continuously.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

*Employees*

The Company had approximately 1,400 employees on June 30, 2025, including 7 employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Approximately all of the Company's employees are full-time. Management believes it has good relations with employees.

*Available Information*

Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available free of charge on our website (www.flexsteel.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the material with or furnish it to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additionally, the SEC maintains an internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Information on our website or linked to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

The Company is subject to a variety of risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors detailed below in conjunction with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should any of these risks materialize the Company's business, financial condition, and future prospects could be negatively impacted. There may be additional factors that are presently unknown to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial that could affect its business.

**<u>Risks related to our industry:</u>**

**Changes in global trade policy and the impact on tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.** 

We source certain finished products from external suppliers in foreign countries, primarily Vietnam, and have significant manufacturing operations in Mexico. On April 2, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order to regulate imports by imposing reciprocal country specific tariffs on multiple nations around the world, including Vietnam. A further executive order issued April 9, 2025, paused the implementation of the country specific tariffs on Vietnam and many other countries for 90 days, maintaining a 10% global baseline tariff, while the United States works with its trade partners to negotiate new trade agreements. On July 31, 2025, a further executive order was issued clarifying certain matters related to tariffs, including a country specific tariff of 20% on goods from Vietnam. Although the country specific tariffs and the global 10% baseline tariffs do not apply to our products imported from Mexico, that status could change at any time. The current situation is dynamic, and it is unknown if the United States and its trade partners will reach an agreement to further pause or adjust the current tariffs. Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation or diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for our products. In addition, tariffs on our imported goods could have a material adverse impact on our future net sales, cost of goods sold, profit and cash flow. The ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated as well as our ability to offset or recoup the increased costs.

**Inflation and changes in foreign currency may impact our profitability.**

Cost inflation including significant increases in ocean container rates, tariffs, raw materials prices, labor rates, and domestic transportation costs have and could continue to impact profitability. Imbalances between supply and demand for these resources may continue to exert upward pressure on costs.

The Company purchases raw materials, component parts, and certain finished goods from foreign external suppliers. Prices for these purchases are primarily negotiated in U.S. dollars on a purchase order basis. A negative shift in the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of our supplier could result in price increases and negatively impact our cost structure. In addition, our manufactured products are produced in Mexico. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefit and indirect costs are made in Pesos. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Peso could increase the cost of manufacturing. In addition, the Company has certain asset and liabilities related to our manufacturing operations which are denominated in pesos, primarily our VAT receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico. A negative shift in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar could result in the value of our receivable decreasing which may impact our earnings.

Our ability to recover these cost increases through price increases may continue to lag the cost increases, resulting in downward pressure on margins. In addition, price increases to offset rising costs could negatively impact demand for our products.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**The Company's products are considered deferrable purchases for consumers during economic downturns. Prolonged negative economic conditions could impact the business.**

Economic downturns and prolonged negative economic conditions could affect consumer spending habits by decreasing the overall demand for home furnishing products. These events could impact retailers resulting in an impact on the Company's business. A recovery in the Company's sales could lag significantly behind a general economic recovery due to the deferrable nature and relatively significant cost of purchasing home furnishing products.

**Future success depends on the Company's ability to manage its global supply chain.**

The Company acquires raw materials, component parts, and certain finished products from external suppliers, both U.S. and foreign. Many of these suppliers are dependent upon other suppliers in countries other than where they are located. This global interdependence within the Company's supply chain is subject to delays in delivery, availability, quality, and pricing. Changes in international trade policies including tariffs, access to ports and border crossings, or railways could disrupt the supply chain, increase cost and reduce competitiveness. The delivery of goods from these suppliers has been and may continue to be delayed by customs, labor issues, availability of third-party transportation and equipment, geopolitical pressures, changes in political, economic, and social conditions, weather, laws, and regulations. Unfavorable fluctuations in price, international trade policies, quality, delivery, and availability of these products could continue to adversely affect the Company's ability to meet demands of customers and cause negative impacts to the Company's cost structure, profitability, and its cash flow.

Enacted tariffs and potential future increases in tariffs on manufactured goods imported from various other countries could adversely affect our business. Inability to reduce acquisition costs or pass-through price increases may have an adverse impact on sales volume, earnings, and liquidity. Similarly, increases in pricing may have an adverse impact on the competitiveness of the Company's products relative to other furniture manufacturers with less exposure to the tariff and could also lead to adverse impacts on volume, earnings, and liquidity.

Additionally, a disruption in supply from foreign countries could adversely affect our ability to timely fill customer orders for those products and decrease our sales, earnings, and liquidity. The main foreign countries we source from are Vietnam, China, Thailand, and Mexico. If we were unsuccessful in obtaining those products from other sources or at comparable cost, a disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition, and liquidity.

Finally, the Company relies on third parties to deliver customer orders. The capacity of these third parties or cost of this service could be impacted by labor disputes, cost inflation (particularly fuel), and availability of drivers which could increase cost and have negative impacts on our earnings.

**Competition from U.S. and foreign finished product manufacturers may adversely affect the business, operating results or financial condition.**

The furniture industry is very competitive and fragmented. The Company competes with U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain or raise the prices of its products in response to competitive pressures or increasing costs. Also, due to the large number of competitors and their wide range of product offerings, the Company may not be able to significantly differentiate its products (through styling, finish, and other construction techniques) from those of its competitors.

Additionally, most of our sales are to distribution channels that rely on physical stores to merchandise and sell our products and an involuntary shut down of those or a significant shift in consumer preference toward purchasing products online could have a materially adverse impact on our sales and operating margin.

These and other competitive pressures could cause us to lose market share, revenues, and customers, increase expenditure or reduce prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity.

**Future costs of complying with various laws and regulations may adversely impact future operating results.**

The Company's business is subject to various laws and regulations which could have a significant impact on operations and the cost to comply with such laws and regulations could adversely impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, inadvertently failing to comply with such laws and regulations could produce negative consequences which could adversely impact the Company's operations.

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**Failure to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer or designer tastes and fashions in a timely manner could adversely affect the Company's business and decrease sales and earnings.**

Furniture is a styled product and is subject to rapidly changing consumer and end-user trends and tastes and is highly fashion oriented. If the Company is not able to acquire sufficient cover variety or if the Company is unable to predict or respond to changes in fashion trends, it may lose sales and have to sell excess inventory at reduced prices.

**Use of social media to disseminate negative commentary may adversely impact the Company's reputation and business.**

There has been a substantial increase in the use of social media platforms, including blogs, social media websites, and other forms of internet-based communications, which allow individuals to access a broad audience of consumers and other interested people. Negative commentary regarding the Company or its products may be posted on social media platforms at any time and may have an adverse impact on its reputation, business, or relationships with third parties, including suppliers, customers, investors, and lenders. Consumers value readily available information and often act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy or context. The harm may be immediate without affording the Company an opportunity for redress or correction.

**Public health events could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to operate, our ability to keep employees safe from the pandemic, our results of operations, and financial condition.** 

During the initial height of the COVID-19 pandemic, purchases of home furnishings were heavily impacted as they are largely deferable and heavily influenced by consumer sentiment. Public health organizations recommended, and many governments implemented, measures from time-to-time to slow and limit the transmission of the virus, including certain business shutdowns and shelter in place and social distancing requirements. Such preventive measures, or others we may voluntarily put in place, may have a material adverse effect on our business for an indefinite period of time, such as the potential shut down of certain locations, decreased employee availability, potential border closures, and disruptions to the businesses of our selling channel partners, and others.

Our suppliers and customers may also face these and other challenges, which have and could to lead to a future disruption in our supply chain, raw material inflation or the inability to get the raw materials necessary to produce our products, increased shipping and transportation costs, as well as decreased consumer spending and decreased demand for our products.

**<u>Risks related to our operations:</u>**

**Business information systems could be impacted by disruptions and security breaches.**

The Company employs information technology systems to support its global business. Security breaches and other disruptions to the Company's information technology infrastructure could interfere with operations, compromise information belonging to the Company and its customers or suppliers and expose the Company to liability which could adversely impact the Company's business and reputation. In the ordinary course of business, the Company relies on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Additionally, the Company collects and stores certain data, including proprietary business information, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain areas of its businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, and customer-imposed controls. While security breaches and other disruptions to the Company's information technology networks and infrastructure could happen, none have occurred to date that has had a material impact on the Company. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to the Company's reputation, which could adversely affect the Company's business.

In addition, in response to shifts in employee workplace preferences, we have allowed certain of our employees the option of a hybrid work schedule where they may choose to work partially from home. Although we continue to implement strong physical and cyber security measures to ensure that our business operations remain functional and to ensure uninterrupted service to our customers, our systems and our operations remain vulnerable to cyber attacks and other disruptions because a material portion of our employees work remotely either full or part-time, and we cannot be certain that our mitigation efforts will be effective.

**The implementation of a new business information system could disrupt the business.**

The Company continues to migrate business and financial processes from legacy ERP systems to SAP. The Company takes great care in the planning and execution of these migrations, however, implementation issues related to the transition could arise and may result in the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Disruption of the Company's domestic and international supply chain;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Inability to fill customer orders accurately and on a timely basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Negative impact on financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Inability to fulfill federal, state and local tax filing requirements in a timely and accurate matter; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Increased demands of management and associates to the detriment of other corporate initiatives.

**The Company's participation in a multi-employer pension plan may have exposure under the plan that could extend beyond what its obligations would be with respect to its employees.**

The Company participates in, and makes periodic contributions to, one multi-employer pension plan that covers union employees. Multi-employer pension plans are managed by trustee boards comprised of participating employer and labor union representatives, and the employers participating in a multi-employer pension plan are jointly responsible for maintaining the plan's funding requirements. Based on the most recent information available to the Company, the present value of actuarially accrued liabilities of the multi-employer pension plan substantially exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. As a result of the Company's participation, it could experience greater volatility in the overall pension funding obligations. The Company's obligations may be impacted by the funded status of the plans, the plans' investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, financial stability of contributing employers and changes in actuarial assumptions. See Note 13 *Benefit and Retirement Plans* of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

**Future results may be affected by various legal proceedings and compliance risk, including those involving product liability, environmental, or other matters.** 

The Company faces the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event the use of any of its products results in personal injury or property damage. In the event any of the Company's products prove to be defective, it may be required to recall or redesign such products. The Company is also subject to various laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and the discharge of materials into the environment. The Company could incur substantial costs, including legal expenses, as a result of the noncompliance with, or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under, environmental laws. Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, these various legal proceedings and compliance matters could have a material impact on the business, operating results, and financial condition. See Note 14 *Commitments and Contingencies* of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

**We may experience impairment of our long-lived assets, which would decrease our earnings and net worth.**

At June 30, 2025, we had $36.2 million in property, plant and equipment and $41.5 million in right of use assets associated with leased facilities. These long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The outcome of impairment testing could result in the write-down of all or a portion of the value of these assets. A write-down of our assets would, in turn, reduce our earnings and net worth. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025 the Company determined that the right of use asset related to our leased Mexicali, Mexico facility was not fully recoverable and recorded a pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million due to substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 that created significant uncertainty in US-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. If capacity requirements do not necessitate the utilization of our leased Mexicali facility and we are unsuccessful at subleasing the facility in the future, the remaining carrying amount of the right of use asset associated with that lease may not be recoverable. A write-down of all or a portion of the remaining value of the Mexicali right of use asset could have a material impact on our earnings in the period of impairment. At June 30, 2025 the Company does not believe any further impairment indicators exist, but impairment assessment involves the use of considerable judgement and any change in future market or economic conditions could cause actual results to differ from estimates.

**The Company's success depends on its ability to recruit and retain key employees and highly skilled workers in a competitive labor market.**

If the Company is not successful in recruiting and retaining key employees and highly skilled workers or experiences the unexpected loss of those employees, the operations may be negatively impacted.

Additionally, we are and will continue to be dependent upon our senior management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of our management team or other key personnel could adversely affect our operations. Ongoing or future communicable diseases increase the risk that certain senior executive officers or a member of the board of directors could become ill, causing them to be incapacitated or otherwise unable to perform their duties for an extended absence. This could negatively impact the efficiency and effectiveness of processes and internal controls throughout the Company and our ability to service customers.

**We may not be able to collect amounts owed to us.**

We generally grant payment terms between 10 and 60 days to customers, often without requiring collateral. Some of our customers have experienced, and may in the future experience, cash flow and credit-related issues. In the event of negative economic events such as economic recession or significant decline in consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, weather events or natural disasters, public

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

health events or other unforeseen issues with negative economic impact to our customers, which have occurred in the past, we may not be able to collect amounts owed to us. While we perform credit evaluations of our customers, those evaluations may not prevent uncollectible trade accounts receivable. Credit evaluations involve significant management diligence and judgment, especially in the current environment. Should customers experience liquidity issues beyond what we anticipate, if payment is not received on a timely basis, or if a customer declares bankruptcy or closes stores, we may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us by these customers, which could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition, and liquidity. In addition, we have receivables for recoverable value added tax paid under such regimes in foreign jurisdictions, primarily Mexico. The collection of these amounts are subject to approval by foreign governmental agencies who evaluate the claims. Any actions taken by those agencies to delay, limit or deny the amounts submitted or retroactive changes in legislation surrounding these regimes may impact our ability to recover these amounts.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments** 

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

**Risk Management and Strategy** 

The Company's cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into the overall risk management framework, including risk identification, assessment, and mitigation across all areas of the business. The cybersecurity risk management program is designed to align with industry best practices and has adopted the framework and measurement practices developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In addition, the Company has implemented a cross-functional cybersecurity steering team to facilitate coordination across key departments and assists in defining policies, procedures, and mitigation strategies, and will be called on to assist in risk assessment of any threat or incident.

The Company has a written Emergency Action Plan that includes the handling of material cybersecurity incidents and business continuity if there is a disruption in operations. The Company utilizes a third-party cybersecurity partner to assist in monitoring our systems 24 hours a day, and to structure the technical handling of cybersecurity threats and incidents. In addition, the partner is utilized to regularly conduct formal penetration testing and tabletop exercises used to further prepare the organization. This partner also provides ongoing insights and advisory services in order to better align our program with current best practices. The Company uses a variety of processes to address risk associated with the use of third-party service providers. All employees, including anyone with access to Company-provided email accounts, must engage in quarterly cybersecurity awareness training and are tested internally on a regular basis. Additionally, we maintain cyber insurance coverage, including protection to further mitigate potential financial losses from cybersecurity incidents.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K we are not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, despite our best efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced undetected cybersecurity incidents. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

**Governance** 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of our cybersecurity risk management program. On a quarterly basis, our Chief Information Officer (CIO) provides a cybersecurity status report and update to the Board of Directors, which includes a scorecard of cybersecurity threats, updates on key initiatives, and any changes in trends that may impact the Company. The CIO reports directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and meets regularly with him, the Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Executive Leadership Team. The CIO has over 25 years of experience in IT Operations and is supported by an internal Director of IT Security and a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service to ensure comprehensive focus on the program.

The Emergency Action Plan defines the handling of cyber related incidents with support of the cross-functional steering team to assess the potential materiality of cybersecurity events and to report on the detection, analysis, and containment from such events. As the severity of events meet certain levels as specified by the Incident Response Plan, those events are escalated to senior levels of management and reported to the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of controls and procedures related to the public disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents.

**Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024**

Net sales were $441.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to net sales of $412.8 million in the prior year, an increase of $28.3 million or 6.9%. The increase in sales was primarily driven by unit volume in our soft seating products, offset by a decline in our homestyles ready-to-assemble product line.

Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2025, was 22.2%, compared to 21.1% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 110 basis points ("bps"). The 110-bps increase was primarily driven by fixed cost leverage on higher sales, supply chain cost savings, and product portfolio management.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by $3.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 15.1% in fiscal year 2025 compared to 17.1% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The decrease of 200-bps is primarily due to fixed cost leverage on higher sales volume and structural cost savings partially offset by investments in growth initiatives. The prior year SG&A expense also included a $1.5 million expense due to CEO transition costs associated with the revaluation of previously awarded equity awards which did not recur in the current year.

In July 2022, Flexsteel commenced a 12-year lease for a manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico to support strong demand growth which was elevated due to pandemic-driven buying at that time. Subsequently, U.S. furniture demand reverted to pre-pandemic norms, and the Company's plan for the facility pivoted to subleasing the space short-term while maintaining the option to utilize it longer term to support growth. While the Company secured multiple short-term sublease tenants at the beginning of the lease term, substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 created significant uncertainty in US-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. As a result, management concluded that the right of use asset related to this lease was not fully recoverable and recorded a pre-tax non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. See Note 2, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Dublin, Georgia facility which had been previously recorded as held for sale. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $5.0 million related to the sale. See Note 6, *Assets Held For Sale*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 2 separate ancillary buildings, formerly part of its Huntingburg, Indiana distribution center complex. The Company received proceeds of $0.8 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.7 million related to the first sale. The Company received proceeds of $4.0 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.7 million related to the second sale. The Company has adequate distribution capacity to support our growth as we continue to optimize our distribution and logistics network. See Note 6, *Assets Held For Sale*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Income tax expense was $6.8 million, or an effective rate of 25.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $5.0 million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of 32.3%. The current year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the effect of state and foreign taxes, offset by a research & development credit benefit. The prior year tax rate was impacted by the effect of state taxes, nondeductible stock compensation, and foreign taxes, offset by a research & development credit benefit. See Note 10, *Income Taxes*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Net income was $20.2 million, or $3.55 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $1.91 per diluted share in the prior year.

On July 31, 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order intended to clarify certain matters related to previously issued executive orders on tariffs. This executive order included, among other things, a country specific tariff of 20% on goods imported from Vietnam. The current situation is dynamic, and it is unknown if the United States and its trade partners will reach an agreement to further pause or adjust the current tariffs. Depending on our ability to mitigate these tariffs, they could have a material impact on our future net sales, cost of goods sold, profit and cash flow. The ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated as well as our ability to successfully mitigate the potential impact. The Company is assessing options to mitigate any potential impact, which includes supply chain adjustments, negotiating concessions with current suppliers, and pricing actions.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a number of provisions which impact the United States tax code. These regulations impacting the tax code have multiple effective dates ranging from fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025, to fiscal years beginning January 1, 2027. The Company has not adjusted its provision for income tax or measurement of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025, based on the changes that may be triggered by the OBBBA due to the law being signed on July 4, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA but does not expect it to have a material impact on our future financial position and results of operations.

**Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023**

Net sales were $412.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, compared to net sales of $393.7 million in the prior year, an increase of $19.1 million or 4.8%. Sales of products sold through retailers increased by $22.9 million or 6.7% primarily driven by growth with strategic customers and new product introductions. Sales of products sold through e-commerce channels decreased by ($3.8) million, or (7.5%) due to a decrease in consumer demand.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2024, was 21.1%, compared to 18.0% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 310-bps. The 310-bps increase was primarily driven by an increase of 240-bps primarily related to cost savings initiatives for materials, labor, and logistics, product portfolio management and disciplined promotional pricing and a 70-bps improvement on volume leverage of fixed cost structure.

SG&A expenses increased by $7.6 million in the year ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense was 17.1% in fiscal year 2024 compared to 16.0% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The increase of 110-bps is primarily due to an increase of 40-bps due to CEO transition costs associated with the revaluation of previously awarded equity awards, an increase of 40-bps due to higher incentive compensation, and an increase of 30-bps driven by investments in growth initiatives partially offset by cost leverage on higher sales volume.

There was $3.0 million in restructuring expenses recorded in the year ended June 30, 2024, associated with the previously announced closure of the Dublin, Georgia manufacturing facility. The $3.0 million primarily consists of $2.6 million in one-time employee termination benefits and other associated costs. All charges related to the restructuring activities were completed in fiscal year 2024. There were no restructuring expenses incurred in the prior fiscal year. See Note 5, *Restructuring*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Starkville, Mississippi location which had been previously recorded as held for sale. The Company recorded a gain of $3.3 million related to the sale in the fiscal year. See Note 6, *Assets Held For Sale*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Income tax expense was $5.0 million, or an effective rate of 32.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2024, compared to income tax benefit of ($5.6) million in the prior year, or an effective tax rate of (60.3%). The effective tax rate was impacted by the effect of state taxes, nondeductible stock compensation and foreign taxes, offset by a research & development credit benefit. The prior year tax rate was negative due to the reversal of a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. See Note 10, *Income Taxes*, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Net income was $10.5 million, or $1.91 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $14.8 million, or $2.74 per diluted share in the prior year.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) on June 30, 2025, was $110.4 million compared to $95.0 million on June 30, 2024. The $15.4 million increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in cash of $35.2 million offset by a decrease of $9.0 million of trade receivables, a decrease of $7.4 million in inventory, an increase in sales & advertising related accruals of $2.0 million and a decrease of $1.7 million in assets held for sale. Capital expenditures were $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

A summary of operating, investing, and financing cash flow is shown in the following table:

***Net cash provided by operating activities***

For the year ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $37.0 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $20.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items including an impairment of our Mexicali facility right-of-use asset of $14.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million, and depreciation expense of $3.7 million, offset by gain on disposition of property, plant and equipment of $9.5 million, $3.8 million in deferred income tax benefit, and accounts receivable allowance benefit of $0.2 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was $8.7 million and was primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables of $9.3 million and a decrease in inventory of $7.4 million due to inventory optimization initiatives, offset by an increase in other assets of $7.6 million primarily related to our receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $31.9 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $10.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation of $4.0 million and stock-based compensation of $4.6 million, offset by $1.5 million in deferred income taxes, accounts receivable allowance recoveries of $0.2 million, and gain from the sale of capital assets of $2.8 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was $17.2 million and was primarily due to a decrease in inventory of $25.5 million due to inventory optimization initiatives, an increase in accounts payable of $1.4 million due to timing of inventory purchases, and an increase in other liabilities of $4.4 million offset by an increase in other assets of $8.2 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $5.9 million due to higher net sales.

***Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities***

For the year ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $9.4 million, primarily due to proceeds of $11.6 million from the sales of property, plant and equipment, and corporate owned life insurance proceeds of $1.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $3.3 million partially.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million, primarily due to capital expenditures of $4.8 million partially offset by proceeds of $4.2 million from the sale of capital assets

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

***Net cash (used in) financing activities***

For the year ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $11.2 million, primarily due to proceeds from lines of credit of $202.3 million, offset by payments on lines of credit of $207.3 million, dividends paid of $3.6 million, and $2.8 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $29.9 million, primarily due to proceeds from lines of credit of $367.8 million, offset by payments on lines of credit of $391.3 million, dividends paid of $3.2 million, $1.7 million for treasury stock purchases, and $1.5 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

**Financing Arrangements**

*Line of Credit*

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Lender"), and the other lenders thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities.

On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement ("First Amendment to the Credit Agreement"), with the Lender, and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term "Payment Conditions" and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61% or an effective interest rate of 5.76% on June 30, 2025.

On June 3, 2025, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement ("Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The amendment reduced the maximum revolving line of credit amount to $55 million and modified certain definitions in the Credit Agreement which include dollar figures derived from the maximum revolver amount. The reduction in the maximum revolving line of credit amount was initiated by the Company to better align with current and projected borrowing availability under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding at the Lender as of June 30, 2025, totaled $0.9 million.

**Outlook**

Our focus for fiscal 2026 will be to remain financially agile with strong liquidity, continue building our foundation for profitable long-term growth in both retail and e-commerce sales channels, build global supply chain resiliency, continue focusing on operational excellence, strengthen digital capabilities, re-imagine the customer experience, and build strong culture and talent.

# Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. We use estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used for such items as the collectability of trade accounts receivable and inventory valuation. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u> – We establish an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. Our accounts receivable allowance consists of an allowance for expected credit losses which is established through a review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.

<u>Inventories</u> – We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of manufactured inventory includes materials, labor and overhead. In addition, finished goods inventory includes capitalized freight, import duties, and warehousing costs. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company's inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.

<u>Valuation of Long-Lived Assets</u> – We periodically review the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell. We recorded $14.1 million of impairments in the fiscal year 2025 related to our Mexicali facility lease right-of-use asset. See Note 2, Leases, for the Company's lease disclosures. No impairments were recorded in fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

<u>Restructuring Costs</u> – The Company groups exit or disposal cost obligations into three categories: Involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits must be a one-time benefit, and this element of restructuring cost is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon the effectiveness of the termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any inventory impairment costs as a result of restructuring activities are accounted for as costs of goods sold.

<u>Income Taxes</u> - In determining taxable income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the calculation of certain tax liabilities and the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets we consider all available positive and negative evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years, and our forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, we develop assumptions including the amount of future pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

At June 30, 2025, the Company determined that based on the weight of available evidence, we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. The realization of our deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. Any reduction in future taxable income, including but not limited to any future restructuring activities may require that we establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Establishing a valuation allowance or an increase in the valuation allowance could result in additional income tax expense in such a period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings. Refer to Note 10 *Income Taxes* of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

*General* – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company's results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, as well as disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, taxes or tariffs on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs, decrease demand, and decrease earnings.

*Foreign Currency Risk* – During fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not have sales but had purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican Peso. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefits and indirect costs related to our operations in Mexico are made in Pesos and subject to foreign currency fluctuation with the U.S. dollar. The Company does not employ any foreign currency hedges against this operating expense exposure. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Peso could increase the cost of our manufactured product. In addition, the Company has certain asset and liabilities related to our manufacturing operations which are denominated in pesos, primarily our VAT receivable for recoverable VAT paid in Mexico. A negative shift in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar could result in the value of our receivable decreasing which may impact our earnings. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we utilized a derivative instrument to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk from changes in the peso's exchange rate for this exposure. This instrument expired on March 31, 2025, without being utilized and the Company does not currently hedge foreign currency risk. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

*Interest Rate Risk –* The Company's primary market risk exposure regarding financial instruments is changes in interest rates. On June 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding balance on its line of credit.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 22, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

**Inventories *—* Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company has inventories of $89.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company's inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company's inventories. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.

Given the quantitative and qualitative materiality of the balance, coupled with the judgments and subjectivity involved to estimate the markdowns to the net realizable value of inventories, auditing management's estimates of net realizable value required subjective auditor judgment.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to estimated net realizable value of inventories included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the inventory valuation process, including controls over the inputs that are used in management's inventory markdown for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We tested management's process to determine the inventory markdowns and net realizable value of inventory through inquiries of management, and evaluation of accounting policies and process documentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We tested the accuracy and completeness of the Company's measurement of inventory markdowns using a sampling approach. We evaluated the appropriateness of methodologies and assumptions used by management to estimate inventory markdowns including inventory quantities on-hand, historical sales activity, and other assumptions used by management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We evaluated management's measurement of the inventory markdowns and net realizable value by testing the mathematical accuracy of the Company's calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We performed retrospective reviews of actual products sold in the current year against prior year inventory markdowns to net realizable value.

**Mexicali Right-of-Use Asset Impairment — Refer to Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. Events that result in an impairment review may include a significant decrease in the operating performance of the long-lived asset, or the decision to close a manufacturing facility, or distribution center. If it is determined estimated fair value, less cost to sell, is less than the carrying value, the asset is written down to its fair value. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, indicators arose that the right-of-use asset assigned to the Company's manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico may not be fully recoverable. As a result of management's analysis, management concluded that the right-of-use asset related to this lease is not fully recoverable and recorded a $14.1 million impairment in fiscal year 2025.

We identified the Mexicali Right-of-Use Asset Impairment as a critical audit matter because the impairment assessment involves significant judgment due to the estimation of future cash flows and fair values. Key assumptions, sublease rental income per square foot and discount rate, are influenced by economic conditions and are inherently subjective. Because of the materiality of the impairment and the complexity of the assumptions, auditing management's estimates of estimated fair value required subjective auditor judgment.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the sublease rental income per square foot and selection of discount rate, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management's valuation, including those over the sublease rental income per square foot and selection of discount rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We inquired of management regarding the viability of subleasing the manufacturing facility and appropriate sublease rental income per square foot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We evaluated the reasonableness of management's plan to sublease the Mexicali, Mexico manufacturing facility through:

oInspection of internal communications between management and the Board of Directors

oInspection of historical subleasing agreements between the Company and tenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We evaluated the methods and inputs used by management to determine the fair value of the lease right-of-use asset, as well as evaluated management's analysis to assess the sensitivity of sublease rental income per square foot and discount rate.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•With the assistance of fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the sublease rental income per square foot by:

oTesting the source information underlying the determination of sublease rental income per square foot and testing the mathematical accuracy of the information

oComparing sublease rental income per square foot to market data

oDeveloping ranges of independent estimates and comparing those to the sublease rental income per square foot selected by management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•With the assistance of fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by:

oTesting the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and testing the mathematical accuracy of the information

oComparing the discount rate to market data

oDeveloping ranges of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management

oEvaluating the application of the discount rate on the anticipated future cash flows and recalculating the net present value.

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, of the Company and our report dated August 22, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Flexsteel" or "Our") is one of the largest manufacturers, importers, and marketers of furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining rocking chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, kitchen storage, bedroom furniture, and outdoor furniture. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which the name "Flexsteel" is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through its e-commerce channel and dealer sales force.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE – The Company's cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. GAAP on fair value measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities require that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company's allowance for credit losses is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.

INVENTORIES – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first-in - first-out ("FIFO") method. Cost of manufactured inventory includes materials, labor and overhead. In addition, finished goods inventory includes capitalized freight, import duties, and warehousing costs. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company's inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

VALUATION OF LONG–LIVED ASSETS – The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – Assets held for sale represent land, buildings, machinery and equipment for locations that have met the criteria of "held for sale" accounting, as specified by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." Once an asset is classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciating the asset. The assets held for sale are being marketed for sale and it is the Company's intention to complete the sale of the assets within the upcoming year.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS - The Company groups exit or disposal cost obligations into three categories: involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits must be a one-time benefit, and this element of restructuring cost is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any inventory impairment costs as a result of restructuring activities are accounted for as cost of goods sold.

LEASES – The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset") and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. See Note 2, *Leases*, for the Company's lease disclosures.

WARRANTY – The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We generate revenue primarily by manufacturing and delivering furniture products to independent furniture retailers in the United States. Each unit of furniture is a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations when control of our product is passed to our customer, which is the point in time that our customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit of the goods or services. Net sales consist of product sales and outbound shipping and handling charges for customer deliveries, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

The Company's revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is reduced by appropriate allowances, estimated returns, price concessions, or similar adjustments as applicable. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts, and allowances are variable considerations and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon historical data and discount percentages, set with each customer. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A).

The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460, *Guarantees*, and not as variable consideration related to revenue.

Occasionally, the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within "Accounts payable - trade" in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $0.25 million of customer deposits. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $0.14 million of customer deposits.

The Company follows the following practical expedients and policy elections:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company does not adjust contract prices for the effects of a significant financing component, as it expects the period when the goods or services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less than a year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Costs for outbound shipping and handling activities that occur after the product is received in the Company's distribution centers, but before the customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment activities. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue. Inbound shipping and handling activities incurred to transport product to the Company's distribution centers is expensed when the product is received by the Company, unless there are revenue surcharges to recover such costs, in which case these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commissions, are recorded as an SG&A expense when incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•All taxes imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, and franchise taxes are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price.

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade-advertising programs, were approximately $3.4 million, $5.9 million, and $5.1 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

DESIGN, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods incurred. Expenditures for design, research, and development costs were approximately $2.1 million, $2.1 million, and $2.1 million in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

INSURANCE – The Company is self-insured for health care and most workers' compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third-party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $175,000 per plan year. For workers' compensation, the Company retains the first $250,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. Losses are accrued based upon the Company's estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The Company records these insurance accruals within "Accrued liabilities – insurance" on the consolidated balance sheets.

INCOME TAXES – The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 *"Income Taxes Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)"* as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for interim period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – Basic EPS of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted EPS of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company's potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method; all options are anti-dilutive when there is a loss. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested shares based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal year were the end of the contingency period. In computing EPS, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,** | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| *(in thousands)* | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Basic shares | 5249 | 5170 | 5225 |
| Potential common shares: |  |  |  |
| Stock options | 100 | 117 | 62 |
| Long-term incentive plan | 329 | 232 | 98 |
| Diluted shares | 5678 | 5519 | 5385 |
| Anti-dilutive shares | 6 | 37 | 161 |

---

STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award's fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes long-term incentive compensation plan expenses during the three-year performance periods; stock awards are issued following the end of the performance periods and are subject to verification of results and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval. See Note 11, *Stock-Based Compensation*.

SEGMENT REPORTING – The Company operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company's operations involve the distribution of manufactured and imported furniture for the residential market. The Company's furniture products are sold primarily throughout the United States by the Company's internal sales force and various independent representatives. The Company has minimal export sales, primarily to Canada or Mexico. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. See Note 12, *Segment Information*.

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

TREASURY STOCK – Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has purchased a total of 3,207,158 shares at a cost of $71.7 million under approved share repurchase programs and has $30 million remaining in the share repurchase program approved in December 2024.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023 09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU will become effective for us for the annual period beginning in fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on our related disclosures, but do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires business entities to enhance segment disclosures about significant segment expenses and disclose the position and title of the chief operating decision maker. The ASU also requires that a public entity with a single reportable segment, like the Company, provide all of the disclosures required as part of ASU 2023-07 and all existing disclosures required by Topic 280. The ASU was adopted July 1, 2024, and has been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or results of operations. See Note 12, *Segment Information*.

**2. LEASES**

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset") and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, the remaining balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment. Both the lease ROU asset and lease liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.

The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Some of the Company's leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.

For purposes of measuring the Company's ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company's line of credit. Some of the Company's leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

In July 2022, Flexsteel commenced a 12-year lease for a manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico to support strong demand growth which was elevated due to pandemic-driven buying at that time. Subsequently, U.S. furniture demand reverted to pre-pandemic norms, and the Company's plan for the facility pivoted to subleasing the space short-term while maintaining the option to utilize it longer term to support growth. While the Company secured multiple short-term sublease tenants at the beginning of the lease term, substantial changes in U.S. trade policy in early 2025 created significant uncertainty in US-Mexico trade relations, slowed foreign direct investment in Mexico, and greatly diminished tenant interest in subleasing the Mexicali facility. As a result, management concluded that the right of use asset related to this lease was not fully recoverable and recorded a pre-tax, non-cash asset impairment charge of $14.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The fair value of the right of use asset on March 31, 2025, was estimated under the income approach using a discounted cash flow technique, including assumptions for future sublease rental income and an appropriate discount rate. This technique involves estimates and uncertainties and actual results could differ. The impairment charge is included within

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

operating income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income under right-of-use asset impairment. The remaining carrying value of the ROU asset related to the Mexicali lease was $13.5 million at June 30, 2025.

**9. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS**

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Lender"), and the other lenders thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities. As of June 30, 2025, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement ("First Amendment to the Credit Agreement"), with the Lender, and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term "Payment Conditions" and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61% or an effective interest rate of 5.76% on June 30, 2025.

On June 3, 2025, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement ("Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The amendment reduced the maximum revolving line of credit amount to $55 million and modified certain definitions in the Credit Agreement which include dollar figures derived from the maximum revolver amount. The reduction in the maximum revolving line of credit amount was initiated by the Company to better align with current and projected borrowing availability under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding at the Lender as of June 30, 2025, totaled $0.9 million.

**10. INCOME TAXES**

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that they believe the assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. As of June 30, 2023, it was determined the Company had reached a more-likely-than-not position that the Company will realize the entirety of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company reversed the previously recorded valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets recorded as of June 30, 2022, of $9.8 million.

Income tax expense was calculated based upon the following components of income before income taxes for the years ended June 30:

| Addition for tax positions of the prior year | 9 |  |  |
| Balance at June 30 | $777 | $607 | $424 |

---

The Company records interest expense and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company does not expect that there will be any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025, and 2024 that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $0.6 million and $0.4 million respectively.

The primary components of deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows:

On June 30, 2025, certain state tax attribute carryforwards of $0.2 million were available, with $0.2 million of credits expiring beginning in fiscal years 2026 through 2028, and $0.1 million of state NOLs carryforward. Some of the state NOL carryforwards will have an indefinite carryforward and some will expire in varying amounts between 2035 and 2041. As of June 30, 2023, it was determined that the Company has reached a more-likely-than-not position that the Company will realize the entirety of its state attribute carryforwards and its U.S. federal deferred tax assets.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, fiscal years 2021 through 2025 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a number of provisions which impact the United States tax code. The regulations impacting the tax code have multiple effective dates ranging from fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025, to fiscal years beginning January 1, 2027. The Company has not adjusted its provision for income tax or measurement of deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025, based on the changes that may be triggered by the OBBBA due

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

to the law being signed on July 4, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA but does not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

**11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, *Stock Compensation*, which requires the Company to measure all share-based payments at grant date fair value and recognize the cost over the requisite service period. Restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs") generally vest over 1 to 3 years. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock price at the grant date and are exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of grant. Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

Total stock-based compensation expense was $3.9 million, $4.6 million and $3.2 million for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

On December 14, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan ("2022 Plan").

The 2022 Plan replaces the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan ("LTIP") and the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans") and no further awards will be made under either of the Prior Plans, but these Prior Plans will continue to govern awards previously granted under them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)<u>2022 Equity Incentive Plan</u>

The 2022 Plan is a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted to certain employees, independent contractors and directors of the Company, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares or other stock-based awards. For periods beginning on or after July 1, 2023, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to officers and key employees as part of long-term compensation programs are issued from the 2022 Plan. RSUs and PSUs awarded from the 2022 Plan are included in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation or Restricted Share and RSUs tables below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)<u>Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan ("LTIP")</u>

The LTIP provides for PSUs to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). In conjunction with each grant of PSUs, the Committee granted RSUs under the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan that vested at the end of three years. No further awards will be issued under this plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)<u>2013 Omnibus Stock Plan</u>

The 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan was for key employees, officers and directors and provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance units. No further stock units will be granted under this plan.

**Long-Term Incentive Compensation**

The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2025, the number of unvested PSUs granted at the target performance level for the 2023-2025, 2024-2026, and 2025-2027 performance periods under the 2022 Plan and LTIP (as applicable) and the number of unvested RSUs granted in conjunction with the PSUs. For PSUs awarded for the three year performance periods ending June 2025, 2026 and 2027, achievement is based on meeting performance goals set for each year within the three year period. The Committee selected Adjusted Operating Income as the performance metric for the performance periods ending June 2025, 2026, and 2027:

**12. SEGMENT INFORMATION**

As disclosed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company operates as a single operating segment and reportable segment reflecting the integrated nature of its operations across various products, manufacturing platforms and sales channels across the entire United States.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer, who has final authority over the allocation of resources, assessment of performance, and key operating decisions.

The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and measures segment performance using operating income and net income, which the Company believes provide the best analysis of business performance. The CODM analyzes the performance of operating income and net income to provide insight into all aspects of the segment's operations and overall success for a given period. In addition, the CODM reviews significant segment expenses focused on cost of sales, selling and general administrative expenses, and restructuring charges, net. These costs used to measure segment profitability are the same costs already reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Similarly, segment assets are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has minimal export sales, primarily to Canada or Mexico. The Company leases and operates three manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico and leases one manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico. Long-lived assets, including property, plant & equipment and right-of-use assets related to leases, located in the United States and Mexico totaled $42.4 million and $35.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025 and $46.6 million and $51.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2024, respectively.

**IV.** **ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE**

Participation in the Plan is limited to Eligible Employees. Prior to, or within an administratively reasonable period of time following, the beginning of a Performance Period, the Committee (or its delegate) shall determine which employees are Eligible Employees for the Performance Period. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant only upon approval by the Committee (or its delegate) and compliance with such terms and conditions as the Committee or Committee may from time to time establish for the implementation of the Plan.

**V.** **GENERAL TERMS OF THE AWARDS**

A Participant's Award for a Performance Period is determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1<u>Form of Award</u>. Awards under the Plan will be made in the form of cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2<u>Establishing Maximum Dollar Amount Available for Awards under the Plan, Performance Goals, and Target Performance Awards</u>. Prior to the beginning of a Performance Period or as soon thereafter as administratively reasonable, the Board shall determine the maximum dollar amount available for all Awards under the Plan for the Performance Period. Prior to the beginning of a Performance Period or as soon thereafter as administratively reasonable, the Committee (or its delegate, in the case of Participants who are not Covered Employees) shall establish the Performance Goal or Goals and each Participant's Target Performance Award. The Committee will notify each Participant of the Award, the criteria to earn the Award, and the grant date of the Award as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee makes this determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3<u>Calculation of Awards</u>. Following the close of a Performance Period, the Committee (or its delegate) shall determine the actual Award payable to a Participant by (i) multiplying the percentage achievement of the Performance Goal against (ii) the Target Performance Award to determine the Participant's Award for the Performance Period. No Award will be paid to a Participant if the percentage achievement of a Performance Goal is below any minimum level of performance established for such Performance Goal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4<u>Adjustments and Certifications of Awards</u>. Once the determination in section 5.3 is made, the Committee (or its delegate in the case of a Participant who is not an Officer of the Company), as appropriate, shall review the amount of each Award and make any adjustments it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to the amount of the Award. In general, each Participant's Award will be the amount pre-established (when the Performance Goals were established) for achievement of the Performance Goals at the achievement levels described in Section 5.2. However, at the discretion of the Committee or the Committee's delegate, this amount may be increased or decreased based upon such objective or subjective criteria, as it deems appropriate.

**VI.** **PAYMENT TERMS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1<u>Timing of Award Payment</u>. Except as provided in this Section 6.1 or in the Notification of Award, a Participant's Award for a Performance Period shall be paid in a cash lump sum to the Participant after the audited financials for the Performance Period are completed, but no later the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Performance Period, unless a delay is otherwise permitted by Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(4). A Participant who is also eligible to Participate in the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to defer some or all of any amount otherwise payable under this Section 6.1 to the extent permitted by such plan and Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2<u>Change in Employment Status During Performance Period</u>. In general, in order to receive a payment a Participant must be employed by the Company through the date of payout. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's employment is terminated during a Performance Period or prior to the date of payout due to death or the Participant becomes Disabled during the Performance Period (prior to a Separation from Service) the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary in the case of the Participant's death) will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Award if the Notification of Award expressly provides for such payment. The Notification of Award may also provide that a Participant will be entitled to a pro-rated portion of the Award otherwise payable to the Participant for a Performance Period if the Participant Separates from Service during a Performance Period on or after reaching the Participant's Retirement Date, if a change in control (as defined in the Notification of Award) of the Company occurs, and under such other circumstances as the Committee (or its delegate) deems appropriate. The Notification of Award will specify any exception to the payment terms described in Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3<u>Beneficiary.</u> In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan by reason of the Participant's death, such amount shall be paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant. Unless otherwise specified in the Notification of Award, such amount shall be paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries at the same time such amount would have been paid to the Participant had the Participant survived. In order for such designation to be valid for purposes of the Plan, it must be completed and filed with the Company according to the rules established by the Company. If the Participant has not completed a beneficiary designation, or all such beneficiaries have predeceased the Participant, then any amount that becomes payable under the Plan by reason of the Participant's death shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant's estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any person to receive a distribution under the Plan by reason of the Participant's death, the amount in question may, at the discretion of the Committee, be paid to the personal representative of the Participant's estate, in which event the Company shall have no further liability to anyone with respect to such amount. This section 6.3 shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4<u>Forfeiture</u>. A Notification of Award may provide that if a Participant has received or been entitled to an Award within six months before the Participant's Separation from Service with the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant to return or forfeit the Award in the event of certain occurrences specified in the Notification of Award. The occurrences may, but need not, include termination for "cause" (as defined in the Notification of Award or, if applicable, as defined in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company), competition with the Company, unauthorized disclosure of material proprietary information of the Company, a violation of applicable business ethics policies of the Company, a violations of

*Cash Incentive Compensation Plan* 6 of 9

------

applicable law, or any other occurrence specified in the Notification of Award within the period or periods of time specified in the Notification of Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5<u>Required Clawback</u>. The Company reserves the right to require a Participant to pay back to the Company any amount received under an Award under the Plan to the extent required by law, under any applicable listing standard or under any applicable clawback policy adopted by the Company.

**VII.** **MISCELLANEOUS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1<u>No Guaranty of Employment</u>. Neither the adoption nor maintenance of the Plan, the designation of an employee as an Eligible Employee, the setting of Performance Goals, nor the provision of any Award under the Plan shall be deemed to be a contract of employment between the Company and any employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee at any time, nor shall it give the Company the right to require any employee to remain in its employ or to interfere with the employee's right to terminate employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2<u>Release</u>. Any payment of an Award to or for the benefit of a Participant or beneficiary that is made in good faith by the Company in accordance with the Company's interpretation of its obligations hereunder shall be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Company for payments under the Plan to the extent of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3<u>Notices</u>. Any notice provided by the Company under the Plan may be posted to a Company-designated website.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5<u>Plan is Unfunded</u>. All Awards under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. No Participant shall be deemed to have, by virtue of being a Participant in the Plan, any claim on any specific assets of the Company such that the Participant would be subject to income taxation on any Award prior to distribution, and the rights of a Participant or beneficiary to any payment to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan shall be those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6<u>Tax Liability</u>. The Company may withhold from any Award payment or other compensation payable to or on behalf of a Participant or beneficiary such amounts as the Company determines are reasonably necessary to pay any taxes required to be withheld under applicable law.

If the Company requests the claimant to provide a response to a claim or to furnish additional supporting data, the claimant shall respond within 10 days after receipt of such a request and shall either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)provide a response on the requested supporting data;

Upon receipt of the response or supporting data, the Company will render an initial decision approving or rejecting the claim. The initial decision shall be final and binding on the parties, but subject to mediation and, if the Company and claimant fail to resolve their dispute through mediation, subject to binding arbitration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Claims Resolution; Mediation</u>. Either the Company or the claimant may file for mediation of the initial decision at any time, except that either the Company or the claimant may, within 30 days from the date of an initial decision, demand in writing that the other party file for mediation within 60 days of the initial decision. If such a demand is made and the party receiving the demand fails to file for mediation within the time required, then both parties waive their rights to mediate or pursue binding dispute resolution proceedings with respect to the initial decision.

If either the Company or the claimant files for mediation, the parties shall endeavor to resolve their claims by mediation, which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Claims Resolution; Binding Arbitration</u>.

**CASH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN**

**NOTIFICATION OF AWARD DEFINITIONS**

The Capitalized terms used in this Notification of Award have the meanings set forth below.

**"Change in Control"** means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) Change in Ownership of the Company. A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group ("Person"), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, if any one Person is already considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by such Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(ii) Change in Effective Control of the Company. A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this subsection (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company's Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company's stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company's stock, (2) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in subsection (iii)(B)(3). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

*Cash Incentive Compensation Plan Notification of Award Page* ***3*** *of*  ***6*** 

------

For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A.

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (x) its primary purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company's incorporation, or (y) its primary purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities immediately before such transaction. "Change in Control Protection Period" means the period beginning with the date of execution of a definitive agreement that results in Change in Control through the date 24 months after a Change in Control.

"**Competitive Activity**" means any of the following regardless of whether it is undertaken, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company, including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, contractor, consultant or otherwise:

(i) Engaging in any business activity, in any geographic market in which the Company is then engaged in business that is competitive with the business of the Company; or

(ii) Hiring or soliciting for employment any person who is then an employee of the Company; or

(iii) Inducing or attempting to induce any person to end his or her employment relationship with the Company; or

(iv) Soliciting business concerning any business (as described in Section (i) above) from any person or entity who is, or who was, a client, customer, prospective client, or prospective customer of the Company; or

(v) Taking any action to divert business from, or inducing or attempting to induce any customer or prospective customer or any vendor, supplier or other business relation to cease doing business with the Company.

"**Improper Use of Confidential Information**" means:

(i) Any use or disclosure of Confidential Information except as required for the performance of the Participant's duties as an employee of the Company;

(ii) Any act or omission that directly or indirectly would materially reduce the value of Confidential Information except for such acts or omissions that are required for the performance of the Participant's duties as an employee of the Company.

*Cash Incentive Compensation Plan Notification of Award Page* ***4*** *of*  ***6*** 

------

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Sections (i) or (ii) above, Improper Use of Confidential Information does not include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any disclosure, use or other act or omission that is expressly authorized in writing, in advance by the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any required disclosure of Confidential Information by law or legal process, if: (x) the Participant provides prompt notice to the Company in writing, and prior to disclosing any Confidential Information, so that the Company may elect to seek an appropriate protective order to prevent disclosure at the Company's option and expense; and (y) the Participant cooperates with the Company in any efforts to seek a protective order.

For purposes of this definition, "Confidential Information" means any non-public information regarding the Company or any of its owners, directors, representatives, agents, employees, suppliers, vendors, shareholders, members, clients, customers, or other third parties or entities with whom the Company does business and which the Participant has learned or developed in the past as a result of Participant's employment by or association with the Company or which the Participant learns or develops while providing services to the Company. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, trade secrets, information about customers, prospective customers, marketing strategies, business strategies, sales strategies, products, services, key personnel, suppliers, pricing, technology, computer software code, methods, processes, designs, research, development systems, techniques, finances, accounting, purchasing, forecasts, or planning. All information disclosed to the Participant or to which the Participant obtains access in whatever form, whether originated by the Participant or by others, during the period that the Participant provides services to the Company will be presumed to be Confidential Information if it is treated by the Company as being Confidential Information or if the Participant has a reasonable basis to believe it to be Confidential Information. For these purposes, Confidential Information will not include knowledge or information: (i) that is now or subsequently becomes generally publicly known, other than as a direct or indirect result of Improper Use or Disclosure of Confidential Information by a Participant; or (ii) that is independently made available to the Participant in good faith by a third party who has not violated any legal duty or confidential relationship with the Company.

**"Involuntary Termination"** has the meaning set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(n). Generally, this means that the Company has terminated your employment under circumstances that do not constitute a Termination for Cause, where you have not initiated or requested the termination and you are willing and able to continue your employment. An "involuntary termination," for these purposes, also includes your separation from service during the Change in Control Protection Period due to "good reason." A separation from service is due to "good reason" if your separation occurs due to a material diminution in base compensation; a material

*Cash Incentive Compensation Plan Notification of Award Page* ***5*** *of*  ***6*** 

------

diminution of the Participant's authority, duties, or responsibilities; or a material change in the geographic location at which the Participant must perform services. In order for a separation from service to be considered a "good reason" separation from service, you must provide a written notice to the Company of the existence of the condition within a 30-day period following the initial existence of the condition, upon which the Company must be provided a period of at least 90 days during which it may remedy the condition.

"**Termination for Cause**" means the termination of the Participant's employment by the Company for a reason described below, as determined within the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator:

(i)The willful and continued failure of the Participant to perform substantially the Participant's duties as established from time to time by the Company's management (other than any such failure resulting from a disability), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by the Company's management that specifically identifies the manner in which the management believes that the Participant has not substantially performed the Participant's duties;

(ii)Dishonesty, fraud, misappropriation of funds, theft relating to the Participant's position, harassment, an act of violence, acts punishable by law, misconduct as described in the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Employee Handbook, as amended from time to time, or such other serious misconduct as will be determined by the Company to constitute conduct that warrants forfeiture pursuant to the Plan and Section 8 of this Notification of Award.

## Exhibit 10.11

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.**

**AMENDED SEVERANCE PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES**

**Effective August 19, 2025**

Flexsteel Industries, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), hereby adopts the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Amended Severance Plan for Management Employees (the "<u>Plan</u>"), effective as of August 19, 2025. The Plan amends the Severance Plan for Management Employees dated October 25, 2018. All prior existing severance payments applicable to Eligible Employees, whether formal or informal, written or oral, are hereby expressly superseded by this Plan as applicable to Eligible Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**Purpose**.

The purpose of the Plan is to make available severance payments to Eligible Employees of the Employer whose employment with the Employer is involuntarily terminated under the circumstances described herein. This Plan is intended to constitute a top hat employee welfare benefit plan and is limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 404 of ERISA. The Plan is intended to be exempt from the requirements under Section 409A of the Code.

Further, the Plan complies with Section 2510.3-2(b) of the Department of Labor regulation to be designated as an employee welfare benefit plan rather than an employee pension benefit plan because benefits are: (i) not contingent, directly or indirectly, on termination of employment at retirement age and/or after a certain number of completed years of service; (ii) less than twice the Eligible Employee's annual pay during the year immediately preceding the termination date; and (iii) payable within 24 months following the termination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**Definitions**. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning set forth in <u>Annex 1</u> (Definitions).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**Eligibility**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1<u>Eligible Employees</u>. Eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be limited to Employees of the Company or its Affiliates who are either (an "<u>Eligible Employee</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)an executive that the Company designates as subject to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)an individual designated as an Eligible Employee by the Plan Administrator or its delegate, within its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2<u>Participation Agreement</u>. As a condition to becoming a Participant and being entitled to the "Severance Payments" as defined in Section 4.1 under the Plan, each Eligible Employee must execute and deliver a Participation Agreement as provided in <u>Annex 2</u> (Participation Agreement) to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Eligible Employee first receives the Participation Agreement to be executed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3<u>Duration of Participation</u>. An individual participating in this Plan shall cease to be

*Severance Plan for Eligible Management Employees Page* ***1*** *of*  ***17***

------

an Eligible Employee in this Plan if the Plan Administrator or its delegate removes the individual from being an Eligible Employee, within its or its delegate's sole discretion, prior to such individual's Qualifying Termination. On or after a Qualifying Termination, the Plan Administrator or its delegate may not remove an Eligible Employee from participation in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**Severance Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1<u>Severance Payments</u>. Exclusively upon a Qualifying Termination, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the execution of a Participant Agreement as provided in Section 3.2 (Participation Agreement) and the execution and non-revocation of a Severance Agreement as provided in Section 5 (Severance Agreement), an Eligible Employee is eligible to receive the following severance payments (collectively, the "<u>Severance Payments</u>"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Severance Base Salary continuation for twelve (12) months ("<u>Base Salary Continuation Payments</u>"); plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)A severance lump sum payment equal to the COBRA premiums necessary to continue the Eligible Employee's and his or her dependents' health insurance coverage in effect on the date of the Eligible Employee's Termination Date for a period of twelve (12) months, without regard to whether the Eligible Employee or his or her dependents elect continuation coverage under COBRA ("<u>Benefits Payment</u>"); plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A severance lump sum payment equal to the amount of cash compensation that would be payable to the Eligible Employee under the Cash Plan for the fiscal year during which the Termination Date occurs if the Eligible Employee's employment had continued through the end of such fiscal year, computed assuming that the "target" level of performance had been achieved, without regard to any discretionary adjustments that would have the effect of reducing the amount of the annual incentive bonus (other than discretionary adjustments applicable to all similarly-situated employees who did not terminate employment) ("<u>Cash Incentive Payment</u>").

If a Qualifying Termination of the Chief Executive Officer occurs 30 days before, on or within 24 months after a "Change in Control," the severance payments described above will be paid times two (x2).

For the avoidance of doubt, an individual must be an Eligible Employee on his or her Termination Date to be entitled to the Severance Payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2<u>Time and Form of Severance Payments</u>. The Severance Payments will be paid at times and forms as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The first installment of Base Salary Continuation Payments will commence on the first payroll date following the later of (i) the Eligible Employee's Termination Date or (ii) the date the Eligible Employee's Severance Agreement becomes effective and irrevocable under Section 5 (Severance Agreement). Base Salary Continuation Payments will be made in substantially equal installments according to the Employer's then-current payroll process; provided that the first installment will include those Base Salary Continuation Payments accrued after the Termination Date through the period covered by such first installment. The remaining installments, if any, shall be payable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**Resignation from Other Positions; Cooperation**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1Upon the Termination Date, unless otherwise requested by the Employer, the Participant will immediately resign from all positions (including directorships) that he or she holds or has ever held with the Employer and its Affiliates. By accepting any payment or benefit under the Plan, each Participant agrees to execute any and all documentation to effectuate such resignations upon request by the Employer, but he or she will be treated for all purposes as having so resigned upon the Termination Date, regardless of when or whether he or she executes any such documentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2Until the Termination Date, the Participant remains subject to the direction of the Participant's supervisors and must assist the Employer in any matter relating to the services of the Participant's employment with the Employer, including, but not limited to, transitioning the Participant's duties to others.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.**Section 409A**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1<u>Interpretation</u>. The payments provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy the short-term deferral and severance pay plan exceptions to the application of Section 409A of the Code (the "<u>Section 409A</u>"). To the extent that the benefits become subject to Section 409A, this Plan will be interpreted and construed in favor of the Participant to the fullest extent allowed under Section 409A and the applicable guidance thereunder to satisfy the requirements of an exception from the application of Section 409A or, alternatively, to comply with Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder. Each payment of compensation under this Plan will be treated as a "separate payment" of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A and the short-term deferral and severance pay plan exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2<u>Separation from Service and Specified Employee</u>. To the extent Section 409A applies, any reference herein to a termination of employment will mean a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required under Section 409A, if the Participant is deemed on the date of termination of employment to be a "specified employee" within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that constitutes "nonqualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A payable on account of a "separation from service," such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the earlier of (a) six (6) months and a day after the Participant's "separation from service," or (b) the Participant's death. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under the Plan shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3<u>Payment Dates and Offsets.</u> Whenever a payment under this Plan specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Employer. In the event the payment period under this Plan for any nonqualified deferred compensation commences in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the payment shall not be paid until the later of the first payroll date of the second calendar year, or the date that such release becomes effective and irrevocable, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A. In no event shall any payment or benefit under the Plan that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount except as specifically permitted by Section 409A.

Neither the Employer nor its affiliates represent or guarantee that any particular federal or state income, payroll or other tax treatment will result from the payments or benefits payable under this Plan.

The Participant is solely responsible for the proper tax reporting and timely payment of any tax or interest for which he or she is liable as a result of the compensation or benefits payable pursuant to this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**Funding**. The payments or benefits provided hereunder will be paid solely from the general assets of the Employer. Nothing contained or implied herein will be construed to require the Employer or the Plan Administrator to maintain any fund or segregate any amount for the benefit of any Participant, and no Participant or other person will have any claim against, right to, or security or other interest in any fund, account or asset of the Employer from which any payment under the Plan may be made.

## Exhibit 19.1

**FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.**

**INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

**<u>Purpose</u>** 

This Insider Trading Policy (the "Policy") provides guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and the handling of confidential information about the Company and the companies with which the Company engages in transactions or does business. The Company's Board of Directors has adopted this Policy to promote compliance with U.S. federal, state and foreign securities laws that prohibit certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about a company from: (i) engaging in transactions in the securities of that company; or (ii) providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information.

**<u>Persons Subject to the Policy</u>**

This Policy applies to all officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, all members of the Company's Board of Directors and all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may also determine that other persons should be subject to this Policy, such as contractors or consultants who have access to material nonpublic information. This Policy also applies to family members, other members of a person's household and entities controlled by a person covered by this Policy, as described below.

**<u>Transactions Subject to the Policy</u>**

This Policy applies to transactions in the Company's securities (collectively referred to in this Policy as "Company Securities"), including the Company's common stock, options to purchase common stock, or any other type of securities that the Company may issue, as well as derivative securities that are not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded put or call options or swaps relating to the Company's Securities. Transactions subject to this Policy include purchases, sales and gifts of Company Securities.

**<u>Individual Responsibility</u>**

Persons subject to this Policy have ethical and legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality of information about the Company and to not engage in transactions in Company Securities while in possession of material nonpublic information. Persons subject to this policy must not engage in illegal trading and must avoid the appearance of improper trading. Each individual is responsible for making sure that he, she or they complies with this Policy, and that any family member, household member or entity whose transactions are subject to this Policy, as discussed below, also comply with this Policy. In all cases, the responsibility for determining whether an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information rests with that individual, and any action on the part of the Company, the Compliance Officer or any other employee or director pursuant to this Policy (or otherwise) does not in any way constitute legal advice or insulate an individual from liability under applicable securities laws. You could be subject to severe legal penalties and disciplinary

------

action by the Company for any conduct prohibited by this Policy or applicable securities laws, as described below in more detail under the heading "Consequences of Violations."

**<u>Administration of the Policy</u>**

The Chief Financial Officer shall serve as the Compliance Officer for the purposes of this Policy, and in their absence, the Chief Executive Officer or another employee designated by the Compliance Officer shall be responsible for administration of this Policy. All determinations and interpretations by the Compliance Officer shall be final and not subject to further review.

**<u>Statement of Policy</u>**

It is the policy of the Company that no director, officer or other employee of the Company (or any other person designated by this Policy or by the Compliance Officer as subject to this Policy) who is aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company may, directly, or indirectly through family members or other persons or entities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Engage in transactions (including gifts) in Company Securities, except as otherwise specified in this Policy under the headings "Transactions Under Company Plans" and "Rule 10b5-1 Plans;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Recommend that others engage in transactions in any Company Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Disclose material nonpublic information to persons within the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information, or outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates, investors and expert consulting firms, unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of information regarding the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.Assist anyone engaged in the above activities.

In addition, it is the policy of the Company that no director, officer or other employee of the Company (or any other person designated as subject to this Policy) who, in the course of working for the Company, learns of material nonpublic information about a company including: (1) with which the Company does business, such as the Company's distributors, vendors, customers and suppliers; (2) that is involved in a potential transaction or business relationship with Company; or (3) is in a similar business or industry as the Company, may engage in transactions in that company's securities until the information becomes public or is no longer material.

There are no exceptions to this Policy, except as specifically noted herein. Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure), or small transactions, are not excepted from this Policy. The securities laws do not recognize any mitigating circumstances, and, in any event, even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company's reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

------

**<u>Definition of Material Nonpublic Information</u>**

<u>Material Information</u>. Information is considered "material" if a reasonable investor would consider that information important in making a decision to buy, hold or sell securities. Any information that could be expected to affect a company's stock price, whether it is positive or negative, should be considered material. There is no bright-line standard for assessing materiality; rather, materiality is based on an assessment of all of the facts and circumstances and is often evaluated by enforcement authorities with the benefit of hindsight. While it is not possible to define all categories of material information, some examples of information that ordinarily would be regarded as material are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Changes to previously announced earnings guidance, or the decision to suspend earnings guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A pending or proposed acquisition or disposition of a significant asset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A pending or proposed joint venture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A Company restructuring;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Significant related party transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A change in dividend policy, the declaration of a stock split, or an offering of additional securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Bank borrowings or other financing transactions out of the ordinary course;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The establishment of a repurchase program for Company Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A change in the Company's pricing or cost structure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Major marketing changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A change in management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A change in auditors or notification that the auditor's reports may no longer be relied upon;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Development of a significant new product, process, or service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Pending or threatened significant litigation, or the resolution of such litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Impending bankruptcy or the existence of severe liquidity problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The gain or loss of a significant customer or supplier;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A significant cybersecurity incident, such as a data breach, or any other significant disruption in the company's operations or loss, potential loss, breach or unauthorized access of its property or assets, whether at its facilities or through its information technology infrastructure; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The imposition of an event-specific blackout period on trading in Company Securities or the securities of another company or the extension or termination of such restriction.

<u>When Information is Considered Public</u>. Information that has not been disclosed to the public is generally considered to be nonpublic information. In order to establish that the information has been disclosed to the public, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the information has been widely disseminated. Information generally would be considered widely disseminated if it has been disclosed through the newswire services, a broadcast on widely-available radio or television programs, publication in a widely-available newspaper, magazine or news website, or public disclosure documents filed with the SEC that are available on the SEC's website. By contrast, information would likely not be considered widely disseminated if it is available only to the Company's employees, or if it is only available to a select group of analysts, brokers and institutional investors.

Once information is widely disseminated, it is still necessary to provide the investing public with sufficient time to absorb the information. As a general rule, information should not be considered fully absorbed by the marketplace until two full trading sessions after the information has been released. If, for example, the Company were to make an announcement on a Monday at 8:00 a.m. central time, you should not trade in Company Securities until the market opens on Wednesday. If the announcement is made after the market opens on Monday but before it opens on Tuesday, you should not trade until the market opens on Thursday. Depending on the particular circumstances, the Company may determine that a longer or shorter period should apply to the release of specific material nonpublic information.

**<u>Transactions by Family Members and Others</u>**

This Policy applies to your family members who reside with you (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), anyone else who lives in your household, and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Company Securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control, such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in Company Securities (collectively referred to as "Family Members"). You are responsible for the transactions of these other persons and therefore should make them aware of the need to confer with you before they trade in Company Securities, and you should treat all such transactions for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if the transactions were for your own account. This Policy does not, however, apply to personal securities transactions of Family Members where the purchase or sale decision is made by a third party not controlled by, influenced by or related to you or your Family Members.

------

**<u>Transactions by Entities that You Influence or Control</u>**

This Policy applies to any entities that you influence or control, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts (collectively referred to as "Controlled Entities"), and transactions by these Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account.

**<u>Transactions Under Company Plans</u>**

This Policy does not apply in the case of the following transactions, except as specifically noted:

<u>Stock Option Exercises</u>. This Policy does not apply to the exercise of an employee stock option acquired pursuant to the Company's plans, or to the exercise of a tax withholding right pursuant to which a person has elected to have the Company withhold shares subject to an option to satisfy tax withholding requirements. This Policy does apply, however, to any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.

<u>Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards</u>. This Policy does not apply to the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units, or the exercise of a tax withholding right pursuant to which you elect to have the Company withhold shares of stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of any restricted stock or restricted stock units. The Policy does apply, however, to any market sale of stock after vesting or delivery to you.

<u>Other Similar Transactions</u>. Any other purchase of Company Securities from the Company or sales of Company Securities to the Company are not subject to this Policy.

**<u>Special and Prohibited Transactions</u>**

The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. It therefore is the Company's policy that any persons covered by this Policy may not engage in any of the following transactions, or should otherwise consider the Company's preferences as described below:

<u>Short-Term Trading</u>. Short-term trading of Company Securities may be distracting to the person and may unduly focus the person on the Company's short-term stock market performance instead of the Company's long-term business objectives. For these reasons, any director, officer or other employee of the Company who purchases Company Securities in the open market may not sell any Company Securities of the same class during the six months following the purchase (or vice versa).

<u>Short Sales</u>. Short sales of Company Securities (i.e., the sale of a security that the seller does not own) may evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will

------

decline in value, and therefore have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in the Company's prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce a seller's incentive to seek to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of Company Securities are prohibited. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales. (Short sales arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph below captioned "Hedging Transactions.")

<u>Publicly-Traded Options</u>. Given the relatively short term of publicly-traded options, transactions in options may create the appearance that a director, officer or employee is trading based on material nonpublic information and focus a director's, officer's or other employee's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in put options, call options or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy. (Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the next paragraph below.)

<u>Hedging Transactions</u>. Hedging or monetization transactions can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Such transactions may permit a director, officer or employee to continue to own Company Securities obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director, officer or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other shareholders.

<u>Margin Accounts and Pledged Securities</u>. Securities held in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company Securities, directors, officers and other employees are prohibited from holding Company Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company Securities as collateral for a loan. (Pledges of Company Securities arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph above captioned "Hedging Transactions.")

<u>Standing and Limit Orders</u>. Standing and limit orders (except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 Plans, as described below) create heightened risks for insider trading violations similar to the use of margin accounts. There is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that result from standing instructions to a broker, and as a result the broker could execute a transaction when a director, officer or other employee is in possession of material nonpublic information. The Company therefore discourages placing standing or limit orders on Company Securities. If a person subject to this Policy determines that they must use a standing order or limit order, the order should be limited to short duration and should otherwise comply with the restrictions and procedures outlined below under the heading "Pre-Clearance and Blackouts."

------

**<u>Pre-Clearance and Blackouts</u>**

The Company has established additional procedures in order to assist the Company in the administration of this Policy, to facilitate compliance with laws prohibiting insider trading while in possession of material nonpublic information, and to avoid the appearance of any impropriety. These additional procedures are applicable only to those individuals described below.

<u>Pre-Clearance Procedures</u>. Directors, officers, accounting employees with access to material non-public information, investor relations employees that assist with earnings releases, legal department employees, and any persons designated by the Compliance Officer as being subject to these procedures, as well as the Family Members and Controlled Entities of such persons ("Covered Persons"), may not engage in any transaction (including gifts) in Company Securities without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from the Compliance Officer. A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Compliance Officer at least two business days in advance of the proposed transaction. The Compliance Officer is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance and may determine not to permit the transaction. If a person seeks pre-clearance and permission to engage in the transaction is denied, then he or she should refrain from initiating any transaction in Company Securities and should not inform any other person of the restriction. A transaction in Company securities by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer must be pre-cleared by each other and the Audit Committee Chair.

When a request for pre-clearance is made, the requestor should carefully consider whether he or she may be aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company and should describe fully those circumstances to the Compliance Officer. The requestor should also indicate whether he or she has effected any non-exempt "opposite-way" transactions within the past six months, and should be prepared to report the proposed transaction on an appropriate Form 4 or Form 5. The requestor should also be prepared to comply with SEC Rule 144 and file a Form 144, if necessary, at the time of any sale.

<u>Quarterly Blackout Periods</u>. Covered Persons may not conduct any transactions involving the Company's Securities (other than gifts and as specified by this Policy), during a "Blackout Period" beginning 14 days prior to the end of each fiscal quarter and ending two full trading sessions following the date of the public release of the Company's earnings results for that quarter. (See the paragraph above entitled "When Information is Considered Public" for examples of the timing of when a Blackout Period ends.)

<u>Event-Specific Blackout Periods</u>. From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors, officers and/or employees. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the persons designated by the Compliance Officer may not engage in transactions in Company Securities. In addition, the Company's financial results may be sufficiently material in a particular fiscal quarter that, in the judgment of the Compliance Officer, designated persons should refrain from engaging in transactions in Company Securities even sooner than the quarterly Blackout Period described above. In that situation, the Compliance Officer may notify these persons that they should not trade in the Company's Securities, without disclosing the reason for the

------

restriction. The existence of an Event-Specific Blackout Periods or the extension of a quarterly Blackout Period will not be announced to the Company as a whole, and should not be communicated to any other person. Even if the Compliance Officer has not designated you as a person who should not engage in transactions in Company Securities due to an Event-Specific Blackout Periods, you should not trade while aware of material nonpublic information. Exceptions will not be granted during an Event-Specific Blackout Periods.

<u>Exceptions</u>. The quarterly Blackout Periods and Event-Specific Blackout Periods do not apply to those transactions to which this Policy does not apply, as described above under the heading "Transactions Under Company Plans" and to gifts; provided, however, gifts by Covered Persons are subject to the above Pre-Clearance Procedures. Further, the requirement for pre-clearance, the quarterly Blackout Periods and Event-Specific Blackout Periods do not apply to transactions conducted pursuant to approved Rule 10b5-1 plans, described under the heading "Rule 10b5-1 Plans."

**<u>Rule 10b5-1 Plans</u>**

Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides a defense from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5. In order to be eligible to rely on this defense, a person subject to this Policy must enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan for transactions in Company Securities that meets certain conditions specified in the Rule (a "Rule 10b5-1 Plan"). If the plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, transactions in Company Securities may occur even when the person who has entered into the plan is aware of material nonpublic information.

To comply with the Policy, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be approved by the Compliance Officer and meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1. In general, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be entered into at a time when the person entering into the plan is not aware of material nonpublic information. Once the plan is adopted, the person must not exercise any influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to be traded or the date of the trade. The plan must either specify the amount, pricing and timing of transactions in advance or delegate discretion on these matters to an independent third party. A plan must include a cooling-off period before trading can commence that, for directors or officers, ends on the later of 90 days after the adoption of the Rule 10b5-1 plan or two business days following the disclosure of the Company's financial results in an SEC periodic report for the fiscal quarter in which the plan was adopted (but in any event, the required cooling-off period is subject to a maximum of 120 days after adoption of the plan), and for persons other than directors or officers, 30 days following the adoption or modification of a Rule 10b5-1 plan. A person may not enter into overlapping Rule 10b5-1 plans (subject to certain exceptions) and may only enter into one single-trade Rule 10b5-1 plan during any 12-month period (subject to certain exceptions). Directors and officers must include a representation in their Rule 10b5-1 plan certifying that: (i) they are not aware of any material nonpublic information; and (ii) they are adopting the plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions in Rule 10b-5. All persons entering into a Rule 10b5-1 plan must act in good faith with respect to that plan.

------

Any Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be submitted for approval five days prior to the entry into the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. No further pre-approval of transactions conducted pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be required.

**<u>Post-Termination Transactions</u>**

This Policy continues to apply to transactions in Company Securities even after termination of service to the Company. If an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information when his or her service terminates, that individual may not engage in transactions in Company Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. The pre-clearance procedures specified under the heading "Pre-Clearance and Blackouts" above, however, will cease to apply to transactions in Company Securities upon the expiration of any Blackout Period or other Company-imposed Blackout Period applicable at the time of the termination of service.

**<u>Consequences of Violations</u>**

The purchase or sale of securities while aware of material nonpublic information, or the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others who then engage in transactions in the Company's Securities, is prohibited by the federal and state laws. Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by the SEC, U.S. Attorneys and state enforcement authorities, as well as enforcement authorities in foreign jurisdictions. Punishment for insider trading violations is severe, and could include significant fines and imprisonment. While the regulatory authorities concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip inside information to others who trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on companies and other "controlling persons" if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel.

In addition, an individual's failure to comply with this Policy may subject the individual to Company-imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, whether or not the employee's failure to comply results in a violation of law. Needless to say, a violation of law, or even an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish a person's reputation and irreparably damage a career.

**<u>Company Assistance</u>**

Any person who has a question about this Policy or its application to any proposed transaction may obtain additional guidance from the Compliance Officer.
