Consolidated net sales increased by 25% year-over-year to $162.5 million.
Net income for the second quarter increased by 29% to $7.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share.
All three reportable segments posted year-over-year sales gains of more than 20%.
Consolidated backlogs nearly doubled, and incoming orders were up 27% over last year for the six-month period.
Hooker Furnishings anticipates that supply chain and logistics challenges, particularly those stemming from Covid-related factory shutdowns in Vietnam and Malaysia, will adversely affect net sales and income in the second half of the fiscal year, especially within the Home Meridian segment. The company believes its strong balance sheet and variable cost business model will allow it to weather these challenges and take advantage of healthy consumer demand.
