MARTINSVILLE, Va., Dec. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hooker Furnishings Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: HOFT) (“Hooker” or the “Company”), a global leader in home furnishings, today announced it has completed the sale of the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence Furniture casegoods brands to Magnussen Home Furnishings, Inc. for approximately $6.1 million, subject to certain final customary post-closing adjustments.

“Completing this transaction marks a significant milestone in our journey toward enhanced profitability, and we are pleased to complete the transaction at a higher price than initially estimated,” said Jeremy Hoff, CEO of Hooker Furnishings. “We are moving ahead with positive momentum after delivering a modest improvement in sales and margins within Hooker Branded and Domestic Upholstery for the fiscal third quarter, and we are excited for the significant opportunity ahead with our Margaritaville licensed collection. We look forward to creating value for shareholders, including through the opportunistic repurchase of shares in connection with our new share repurchase program, and to capturing the potential of our more focused business as we move into the next calendar year.”

As previously announced ten percent of the purchase price is subject to a holdback for 210 days for customary indemnification and final purchase price adjustments. The Company also shed approximately $4.8 million in HMI showroom lease liabilities and related expenses, as Magnussen assumes the lease of HMI’s High Point showroom.

(2) general economic or business conditions, both domestically and internationally, including the current macroeconomic uncertainties and challenges to the retail environment for home furnishings along with instability in the financial and credit markets, in part due to fluctuating interest rates and housing market volatility, which can affect consumer spending patterns, existing home sales, and demand for home furnishings, including their potential impact on (i) our sales and operating costs and access to financing, (ii) customers, and (iii) suppliers and their ability to obtain financing or generate the cash necessary to conduct their respective businesses; (3) the impairment of our long-lived assets, which can result in reduced earnings and net worth; (4) the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, which is particularly sensitive to changes in consumer confidence, the amount of consumers’ income available for discretionary purchases, and the availability and terms of consumer credit; (5) future actions by activist stockholders that could divert management attention, create uncertainty around our strategic direction, disrupt relationships with key shareholders, increase our costs, drive stock price volatility, and otherwise materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;

(11) difficulties in forecasting demand for our imported products and raw materials used in our domestic operations; (12) our inability to collect amounts owed to us or significant delays in collecting such amounts; (13) the risks associated with our Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, including the fact that our asset-based lending facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains provisions which limit the amount of our future borrowings under the facility, as well as financial and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness; (14) risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials, as well as changes in transportation, warehousing and domestic labor costs, availability of skilled labor, and environmental compliance and remediation costs;

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 12, 2025, Hooker Furnishings Corporation (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its Pulaski Furniture (“PFC”) and Samuel Lawrence (“SLF”) casegoods brands, including specified assets and liabilities related to those brands, to Magnussen Home Furnishings, Inc. (“Magnussen”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2025 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Magnussen (the “Sale”). The aggregate purchase price was approximately $6.1 million, of which approximately $5.5 million was paid in cash at closing. The remaining $0.6 million that was held back, is payable after the expiration of a 210-day holdback period, less any amounts relating to indemnification claims as provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The holdback amount is reflected as a receivable in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. The consideration received at closing differed from the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in the Company’s historical balance sheet due primarily to changes in the underlying assets and liabilities of the disposed business between the balance-sheet date and the closing date.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the thirty-nine-week period ended November 2, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the fifty-three-week period ended February 2, 2025 are (i) derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period then ended and from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year then ended, respectively, and (ii) are presented to illustrate the Company’s results as if the Sale had occurred on January 29, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 2, 2025, reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Sale had occurred on November 2, 2025.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended, and Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, Discontinued Operations and are based upon management’s estimates utilizing the best available information and are subject to the assumptions and adjustments described below and in the accompanying notes. They are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s operating results or financial position had the sale occurred as of and for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position for any future period or as of any future date. Accordingly, such information should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance, financial condition or liquidity. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the settlement of the disposal group at its historical carrying amount as of November 2, 2025. Differences between the historical carrying amount and the final consideration received at closing arose due to changes in the assets and liabilities of the disposed business occurring after the balance-sheet date and prior to closing. These differences represent normal timing differences and are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2025 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 2, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2025, as well as the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of such reports.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Description of the Sale

On December 12, 2025, Hooker Furnishings Corporation (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its Pulaski Furniture (“PFC”) and Samuel Lawrence (“SLF”) casegoods brands, including specified assets and liabilities related to those brands (collectively, the “Sale”), to Magnussen Home Furnishings, Inc. (“Magnussen”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 2025 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

The aggregate purchase price was approximately $6.1 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, of which approximately $5.5 million was paid in cash at closing, net of approximately $0.65 million of transaction-related costs. The approximately $0.6 million remaining represents a holdback amount, payable to the Company following the expiration of a 210-day holdback period, less any amounts relating to indemnification claims as provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The holdback amount is reflected as a receivable in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Sale, Magnussen assumed certain liabilities associated with the disposed brands, including approximately $4.8 million of showroom lease liabilities related to the High Point showroom. The Company retained its Samuel Lawrence Hospitality (“SLH”) product line and received an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid license to continue use of the “Samuel Lawrence Hospitality” name. The Company will continue to report the SLH product line within its “All other” segment.

(2) Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 2, 2025, has been prepared to give effect to the Sale.

(3) Pro Forma Adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

Explanations of the adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet are as follows:

(A) Adjustments reflect the increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the cash consideration received from Magnussen, amounting to approximately $5.5 million, net of legal, consulting and brokerage fees, and subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

(B) Adjustment reflects the cash holdback amount that is payable to the Company within two business days after the expiration of a 210-day holdback period.

(C) Represents the elimination of the assets and liabilities associated with the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence casegoods brands, which were classified as held for sale as of November 2, 2025. The disposal of these assets, net of liabilities, reflects the financial impact of the sale.

(D) This adjustment reflects the estimated pro forma gain on disposal, which is calculated as the difference between the estimated aggregate net cash proceeds to be realized from the sale of the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence businesses at the Closing and the carrying value of the disposal group as of November 2, 2025 net of estimated income taxes. The actual gain/loss on disposal, and the Company's estimate of income taxes, will be based on the balance sheet information as of the Closing and the finalization of the Company's current fiscal year tax provision, and may differ materially from the estimates used above. The pro forma gain on disposal has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations as this amount pertains to discontinued operations and does not impact income from continuing operations.

(4) Pro Forma Adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Explanations of the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

(A) FY26 Year-to-Date Period Ended November 2, 2025

Represents the removal of revenues, costs and expenses, and the net loss attributable to the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence casegoods brands, which are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s historical condensed consolidated statements of operations included in the Form 10-Q filed on December 12, 2025.

(B) Fiscal Year Ended February 2, 2025

Represents the elimination of revenues, costs and expenses, and the net loss attributable to the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence casegoods brands for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2025, presented as if the Sale had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2025.

(C) Estimated Income Tax Effects

Represents the estimated income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The tax effects were calculated using statutory tax rates applicable to the Company and are based on management’s estimates. The estimated tax effects reflect the elimination of the operating results of the Pulaski Furniture and Samuel Lawrence casegoods brands and are included in the pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.
