Outlook

The Company expects top line growth will continue during the second fiscal quarter due to strong order trends and backlog of unshipped orders. Residential growth is expected to continue with existing customers and products, and through product portfolio and customer base expansion. The Company believes this growth will be led by increased demand for upholstered and ready-to-assemble products. The Company is confident in its ability to take advantage of market opportunities.

The Company continues to proceed on two multi-year initiatives, designed to enhance customer experience and increase shareholder value. The Company continues to execute its logistics strategy and develop its business information system requirements. The timing and level of additional investment required for these initiatives will be evaluated as the projects progress. Operating capital expenditures are estimated to be $6 million for the remainder of fiscal 2016. The Company believes it has adequate working capital and borrowing capabilities to meet these requirements.

The Company remains committed to its core strategies, which include providing a wide range of quality product offerings and price points to the residential and commercial markets, combined with a conservative approach to business. We will maintain our focus on a strong balance sheet through emphasis on cash flow and increasing profitability. We believe these core strategies are in the best interest of our shareholders.
