Insights

Crown Crafts' Q2 FY2025 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. Net sales increased marginally to $24.5 million from $24.1 million, primarily driven by the Baby Boom acquisition contributing $3.4 million. However, legacy businesses declined, notably losing a key bib program. While gross margin improved slightly to 28.4%, the $788,000 in acquisition costs significantly impacted bottom-line performance, with net income dropping to $860,000 ($0.08 per share) from $1.8 million ($0.18 per share) year-over-year.

The Baby Boom acquisition appears to be masking underlying weakness in core operations. The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share suggests management's confidence in cash flow generation, but investors should monitor integration progress and legacy business performance carefully.

GONZALES, La., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Crafts, Inc. (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) (the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ended September 29, 2024.

Second Quarter Summary

  • Net sales of $24.5 million, compared with $24.1 million in the prior-year quarter
  • Gross profit of 28.4 percent of net sales compared with 27.3 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2024
  • Net income of $860,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. This quarter includes approximately $788,000 ($611,000 and $0.06 per diluted share after tax) of acquisition-related costs

Subsequent to the end of Second Quarter

  • Declared quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share of Series A common stock

“Our second quarter fiscal 2025 results reflect the immediate contribution from our acquisition of Baby Boom, which offset the continued economic headwinds facing our legacy businesses,” said Olivia Elliott, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to be optimistic about the opportunities within our business, including the cross-selling opportunities and expanded offerings with Baby Boom, product development and increased distribution channels at Manhattan Toy and our ability to generate cash flow to repay our borrowings. These positive developments, combined with our continued cost management and the potential for a more favorable macroeconomic environment will help improve profitability and generate long-term value for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $24.5 million, compared to $24.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in sales is primarily due to the addition of Baby Boom which contributed $3.4 million of net sales in the current-year quarter, partially offset by declines in the Company’s legacy businesses, including the loss of a bib program at a major retailer.

Gross profit was 28.4% versus 27.3% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit is considered to be materially consistent with the prior period and resulted from minor changes in product mix offset by increases in rent at the Company’s Compton facility. Marketing and administrative expenses were $5.4 million, compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Fiscal 2025 includes $788,000 in costs associated with the Baby Boom acquisition. Net income for the quarter was $860,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s Series A common stock of $0.08 per share, which will be paid on January 3, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 13, 2024.
