Source Tradingkey
Key takeaways
- Fiscal Q2 2027 net sales increased 0.4% to $161.2 million, the company’s highest second-quarter revenue on record, while omnichannel comparable sales declined 1.9%.
- Gross margin rose 1,200 basis points to 68.4%, primarily due to $20 million of IEPA tariff refunds recognized in cost of merchandise sold. Excluding tariff recoveries, gross margin was approximately 56%, down 40 basis points.
- Net income reached $7.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, versus a $6.7 million loss, or $0.45 per share, a year earlier. The tariff refunds contributed a net benefit of $0.86 per diluted share.
- Demand remained stronger for configurations above $6,000, including larger Sactionals setups, premium fabrics and new features. The below-$6,000 segment improved but did not return to growth.
- Management expects several product launches to have limited impact in late Q3 and a more meaningful contribution in Q4. This timing shift, along with ongoing pricing tests, informed a more conservative outlook.
- Lovesac guided to fiscal 2027 net sales of $690 million to $710 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $31.5 million to $35.5 million.
