Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CULP) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CULP”) today announced that, based on current estimates, the company is lowering its expectations for net sales and income (loss) from operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 due primarily to COVID-related shutdowns affecting the company’s operations in China and further weakening in domestic mattress industry sales. The company now expects net sales for the fourth quarter to be down significantly as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and expects a consolidated operating loss in the range of $(6.5) million to $(7.5) million for the quarter. The company expects to end the fourth quarter with approximately $10 million in cash and no outstanding borrowings. These updated expectations are based on information available at the time of this press release and reflect certain assumptions by management regarding the duration and projected impact of the shutdowns affecting the company’s operations in China, as well as other business conditions, consumer trends, and geopolitical events, which could differ materially from the assumptions used.
