Lovesac (NASDAQ:LOVE – Get Free Report) posted its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported $2.19 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $2.00 by $0.19, RTT News reports. The business had revenue of $248.05 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $242.77 million. Lovesac had a net margin of 0.58% and a return on equity of 2.07%. The company’s revenue was up 2.7% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period last year, the firm posted $2.13 earnings per share.
Here are the key takeaways from Lovesac’s conference call:
- Fiscal 2026 results showed modest revenue growth to $697.1M with positive omni-channel comps and internet sales up ~12% in Q4, while full-year net income fell to $4.1M and gross margin was 56.4% — the company finished with a record cash balance (~$101.9M) and no debt.
- The company accelerated its brand evolution and product roadmap — launching the entry-level Snug platform, reengineering Sactionals, previewing a new high-end sectional, and planning a calendar 2027 launch into a whole new room, plus beginning Made in America manufacturing of Sactional seat inserts this summer.
- Gross margins were pressured by tariffs and transportation (Q4 GM down ~230 bps) and management baked continued tariff/shipping uncertainty into guidance: FY27 sales of $700–$750M, adjusted EBITDA of $33–$44M, and a Q1 loss driven by seasonality and delivery rollout timing.
- Go-to-market improvements are already showing traction: a digital-first marketing pivot, e‑commerce UX and AI upgrades, showroom incentive changes, expansion of resale via Loved by Lovesac (29 states), and planned national rollouts of room-of-choice and white‑glove delivery to boost acquisition and LTV.
