(1) Adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), diluted, are non-GAAP measures. See "Non-GAAP Measures" and "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Olivia Elliott, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, 'Our fourth quarter sales were 2.9% higher than the prior year quarter, and, while adjusted net income was below our expectations, there were several factors that impacted the quarter, including higher close-out sales at lower margins and the impact of tariffs. For the full year, the Crown Crafts team focused on the strategic initiatives that build for our future success. We acquired Baby Boom Consumer Products in the second quarter, fully integrated Manhattan Toy, continued to reduce operational costs, expanded ecommerce capabilities, and formulated a plan to decrease warehousing expenses. While not all of these measures flowed through this year due to the persistent strain the economy had on our customers, we are optimistic that the work we have done will lead to greater sales and profits over the long term.'
Fourth Quarter CommentaryNet sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 2.9% to $23.2 million, compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by sales associated with the Baby Boom acquisition.
Gross margin was 18.3%, a 4.9% decrease versus the prior year quarter due to a higher mix of close-out sales to reduce inventory levels in preparation for future warehouse consolidation and $324,000 of higher tariffs associated with products imported from China.
Marketing and administrative expenses were $4.6 million, an increase of 17.0% compared to the prior year quarter. The current year period includes $77,000 in acquisition costs as well as increased marketing and administrative costs associated with the Baby Boom business.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred in relation to the depressed market price of the Company's common stock and corresponding significant decline in the Company's market capitalization. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test that concluded the estimated fair values of its reporting units were lower than their carrying values, indicating that the goodwill within these reporting units was impaired. Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $13.8 million during the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
GAAP net loss was $(10.8) million, or $(1.04) per diluted share. Adjusted net loss was $(429,000) or adjusted diluted loss per share of $(0.04), which excludes the $13.8 million goodwill impairment charge.
Fiscal 2025 CommentaryNet sales for fiscal 2025 were $87.3 million, essentially flat with fiscal 2024.
Gross margin was 24.4%, a 1.8% decrease compared to fiscal 2024, primarily a result of higher rent at the Compton facility, higher closeout sales and increased tariffs.
Marketing and administrative expenses were $18.7 million, an increase of 16% compared to fiscal 2024. The current year period includes $244,000 associated with the closure of the Company's subsidiary in the United Kingdom and $1.2 million in costs associated with the Baby Boom acquisition.
GAAP net loss was $(9.4) million, or $(0.90) per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $1.0 million or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.10, which excludes the $13.8 million goodwill impairment charge.
The Company ended fiscal 2025 with $521,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Total inventory at the end of the year was $27.8 million, a 6.4% decrease compared to the end of fiscal 2024.
Quarterly Cash DividendOn May 14, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's Series A common stock of $0.08 per share, which will be paid on July 3, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 13, 2025.

The tax impact of adjustments includes the tax effect of the goodwill impairment charge based on the Company's effective tax rate.
(2)
Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures, are defined as net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share, excluding the impact of impairment charges. Management believes adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share provides useful information to investors because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from period to period by removing the impact of impairment charges that are not reflective of our core business.Sign in to access your portfolio

3 No-Brainer Safe Dividend Stocks to Buy With $1,000 Right Now
Dividends that get paid in good markets and bad can help you sleep well at night when the world is in turmoil. There is one group of dividend stocks that provide a necessity for modern life, regardless of what is going on in the world. Investors with $1,000 can invest in a stock offering dividend growth, a reliable income stream, and/or one that is turning its business around. 10 stocks we like better than NextEra Energy › Geopolitical tensions have been high. Tariff uncertainty could also upend the economy and market. If you are worried about the future, then you'll probably want to buy a safe dividend stock. Perhaps one that, in years past, would have been recommended to widows and orphans. Namely a utility. If you have $1,000 to invest, you'll likely find NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE), Black Hills (NYSE: BKH), or Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) an attractive option. Each one has a safe business and an attractive dividend yield. But there's some key differences you'll want to understand before buying. To be fair, $1,000 is a somewhat random figure. It could be $100,000 or $100. The key point here is that you have money you want to invest, but where? The world seems so uncertain at the moment. But there is one very certain thing, your modern life requires energy. And while you could live without power, you almost certainly don't want to. Utilities are expensive to build and it would be nearly impossible to have two utilities serving the same customer base. So the government grants utilities monopolies in the areas they serve, but regulates the utilities, controlling the utility's rates and capital investment plans. The goal is to provide a balance between return and customer cost, which usually ends up leaving the utility with a slow and steady growth profile as a business. These companies are not meant to be exciting, they are meant to provide customers with what is, basically, a life necessity while attracting investors with returns that are modest, but not insignificant. Dividends play a big role in those returns. Just like in other industries, there are different dynamics to each utility stock. So you can't simply throw a dart and expect to pick a good one. The differences, meanwhile, mean there are utilities that will interest all different kinds of dividend investors. NextEra Energy, Black Hills, and Dominion Energy cover a lot of ground. NextEra Energy is a dividend growth stock. It has increased its dividend annually for more than three decades and, more to the point, the annualized dividend increase over the past decade was a huge 10%. The dividend yield, meanwhile, is roughly 3.2%, which happens to be slightly higher than the roughly 2.8% yield of the average utility. This is a high-yield dividend growth opportunity. The core of NextEra's business is its regulated utility operation in Florida. But the real growth story is its renewable power business, which ranks among the largest in the world. Although the non-regulated renewable power business increases risk to some degree, NextEra uses long-term contracts that create reliable income streams. If you like dividend growth, and believe that clean energy has a long runway for growth ahead, NextEra Energy could be right for your portfolio. A $1,000 investment would buy you around 13 shares. Black Hills isn't nearly as exciting, operating regulated electric and natural gas assets in parts of Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming. There's really nothing special about the business, though its customer base is growing nearly twice as fast as the overall U.S. population. That suggests that continued growth is highly likely as the utility invests to serve those customers. Which brings up the big attraction here, Black Hills is a Dividend King with more than five decades of annual dividend increased behind it. And it offers an above average 4.8% yield. If you like large and reliable dividends, Black Hills could be for you. With $1,000 you can buy roughly 17 shares. If you are a bit more adventurous you might want to look at Dominion Energy. This utility has a dividend yield of 4.9%. That said, the dividend isn't growing right now and it probably won't for a couple of years. This is because Dominion has been streamlining its business so that it is now largely just a regulated electric utility. It is currently working on strengthening its balance sheet and reducing its payout ratio so that it is more in-line with its utility peers. It is, basically, a utility turnaround story. What's notable is that the company's business is well situated to take advantage of big industry trends, including the fact that it operates in one of the largest data center markets in the world and that it is building a large offshore wind farm. If you don't mind collecting a fat yield while you wait for dividend growth to resume, this could be a good choice. And when dividend growth does come back into play, it is highly likely that the market will afford Dominion a higher valuation. If you buy into Dominion's turnaround with $1,000, you will get roughly 18 shares. The caveat here is that utilities tend to be pretty boring investments. That's even true of Dominion Energy, despite it being a turnaround story. If you are looking for a reliable income stream, dividend grower NextEra, reliable dividend payer Black Hills, and even turnaround story Dominion could all find a place in your dividend portfolio today.

Stocks mixed with eyes on Mideast, dollar hit by Trump Fed comment
Stocks were mixed Thursday and oil rose as traders kept a nervous eye on the Iran-Israel ceasefire, while the dollar dropped after Donald Trump said he had a handful of candidates to succeed Federal Reserve boss Jerome Powell, fuelling rate cut bets. Uncertainty over the US president's trade war was also keeping sentiment subdued, with most countries still not reaching deals with Washington to avert the reimposition of steep tariffs ahead of a July 9 deadline. With a shaky ceasefire between Iran and Israel holding for now, Trump said he would hold nuclear talks with Tehran next week, even after insisting that US strikes had set its atomic programme back "decades". "We may sign an agreement. I don't know," he told reporters. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had said Tuesday his country was willing to return to negotiations but that it would continue to "assert its legitimate rights" to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Crude prices, which tanked Monday and Tuesday after the ceasefire was announced, climbed for a second day, though gains were capped by the possibility that OPEC and other key producers will lift output. "While the Israel-Iran conflict is now de-escalating, we still believe that geopolitical risks remain where the ceasefire could easily fall apart," wrote Kai Wang, Asia equity market strategist at Morningstar. "While this possibility remains elevated, we do not believe that there would be a restriction on oil supply even under a re-escalating scenario. Given that oil has retreated to preconflict price levels, we believe that any future increase in oil price is likely to be short-lived." Equity markets were mixed, with Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul and Manila in the red, while Tokyo, Singapore, Taipei, Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta and Wellington were in positive territory. London, Paris and Frankfurt all advanced in the morning. That came after a tepid lead from Wall Street, where the Nasdaq was the standout after chip titan Nvidia shot up more than four percent to a record high, giving it a market valuation of around $3.76 trillion. That makes it more valuable than Microsoft, Apple and other tech giants. The dollar extended losses after Trump's latest salvo against Powell and suggestion that he was already lining up his replacement. Since returning to the White House the president has constantly hit out at the Fed boss for not cutting rates, questioning his intelligence and stoking worries about the bank's independence. "I know within three or four people who I'm going to pick," he told reporters after a NATO summit. "I mean he goes out pretty soon fortunately because I think he's terrible," Trump said of Powell, whose term ends in May next year. Trump added that Powell was "average mentally" and had "low IQ for what he does". The Wall Street Journal reported that the Republican was considering making an announcement in September or October, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, economic adviser Kevin Hassett and former Fed governor Kevin Warsh among the contenders. Trump's remarks came days after Powell told lawmakers the bank needed to see the impact of the president's tariffs on the economy before making a move. "Trump will seek yes man who will cut -- he's already been calling for rates to be 2-3 points lower," said Neil Wilson at Saxo Markets. "The Fed is staying cautious on rates right now, but if we get a shadow Fed chair in the autumn saying he will slash rates as soon as possible (ie May 2026), you will see inflation fears rise and markets will sell long-dated bonds and push the dollar lower." - Key figures at around 0810 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 1.7 percent at 39,584.58 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.6 percent at 24,325.40 (close) Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.2 percent at 3,448.45 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.1 percent at 8,722.71 Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1703 from $1.1656 on Wednesday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3733 from $1.3664 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 144.05 yen from 145.32 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 85.23 pence from 85.26 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 0.2 percent at $65.03 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 0.2 percent at $67.82 per barrel New York - Dow: DOWN 0.3 percent at 42,982.43 (close) dan/mtp
