Crown Crafts reports Q4 EPS 8c vs. 24c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $21.6M vs. $25.7M last year. “Our fiscal 2023 results reflect the multiple headwinds we faced throughout the year, including excess inventory levels related to the port delays that occurred at the end of fiscal 2022, inflationary pressures across our business and lower consumer spending trends, which resulted in reduced orders from customers. Despite these challenges, we minimized the impact on gross margins, reduced our marketing and administrative expenses and reported our thirteenth consecutive year of profitability,” said Olivia Elliott, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The acquisition of Manhattan Toy at the end of fiscal 2023 provides multiple opportunities to increase our top and bottom line in fiscal 2024, including better purchasing power, broader product offerings and greater distribution channels. Overall, we remain well-positioned to withstand the current macroeconomic environment thanks to our strong balance sheet and look forward to delivering sustained profitable growth.”
