FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED September 30, 2024

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Flexsteel" or "Our") is one of the largest manufacturers, importers, and marketers of furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining rocking chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, kitchen storage, bedroom furniture, and outdoor furniture. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which the name "Flexsteel" is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through its e-commerce channel and direct sales force.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies.

4. LEASES

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset") and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is measured

7

as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.

The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains a lease. Some of the Company's leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.

For purposes of measuring the Company's ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company's line of credit. Some of the Company's leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

The components of the Company's leases excluding the impact of sublease income reflected on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:

5. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Lender"), and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-yearterm and provides for up to an $85million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00to 1.00. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities. As of September 30, 2024, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On April 18, 2022, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a first amendment to the September 8, 2021, Credit Agreement ("First Amendment to the Credit Agreement"), with the Lender and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term 'Payment Conditions' and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61%, or an effective interest rate of 6.19%, on September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, there was $3.6millionoutstanding under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding with the Lender as of September 30, 2024, totaled$0.9million.

6. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the interim periods is based on an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to estimate the Company's annual effective tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, was 31.0%and 44.2%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and the impact of foreign operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rateof 21% due to nondeductible stock compensation, state taxes, and the impact of foreign operations.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to measure all share-based payments at grant date fair value and recognize the cost over the requisite service period. Restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs") generally vest over 1to 3 years. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock price at the grant date and are exercisable for up to 10 yearsfrom the date of grant. Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

The following table is a summary of total stock-based compensation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

On December 14, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan ("2022 Plan").

The 2022 Plan replaced the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan ("LTIP") and the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans"). No further awards will be made under either of the Prior Plans, but these Prior Plans will continue to govern awards previously granted under them.

(1)
2022 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2022 Plan is a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted to certain employees, independent contractors and directors of the Company, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares or other stock-based awards. For periods beginning on or after July 1, 2023, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to officers and key employees as part of long-term compensation programs are issued from the 2022 Plan. RSUs and PSUs awarded from the 2022 Plan are included in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation or Restricted Share and RSUs tables below.

(2)
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

The LTIP provided for PSUs to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). In conjunction with each grant of PSUs, the Committee granted RSUs under the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan that vested at the end of three years. Nofurther awards will be issued under this plan.

(3)
2013 Omnibus Stock Plan

The 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan was for key employees, officers and directors and provided for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance units. Nofurther awards will be issued under this plan.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2024, the number of unvested PSUs granted at the target performance level for the 2023-2025, 2024-2026, and 2025-2027 performance periods under the 2022 Plan and LTIP (as applicable) and the number of unvested RSUs granted in conjunction with the PSUs. For PSUs awarded for the three year performance periods ending June 30, 2025, 2026 and 2027, achievement is based on meeting performance goals set for each year within the three year period. The Committee selected Adjusted Operating Income as the performance metric for the performance periods ending June 30, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other Proceedings - From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company's business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023 09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU will become effective for us for the annual period beginning in fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on our related disclosures, but do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires business entities to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU also requires that a public entity with a single reportable segment, like the Company, provide all of the disclosures required as part of the amendment and all existing disclosures required by Topic 280. The ASU will become effective for us for the annual period beginning in fiscal year 2025 and for interim periods beginning with our 2026 fiscal year, on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on our related disclosures, but do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our 2024 annual report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023

Net sales were $104.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net sales of $94.6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 9.9%. The increase was driven by higher sales in home furnishings products sold through retail stores of $11.0 million, or 13.3%, led by unit volume increases and product mix. Sales of products sold through e-commerce channels decreased by ($1.6) million, or (13.3%), compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Lower sales in the e-commerce channel were driven by softer consumer demand.

Home furnishings backlog was $61 million as of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 27.1% compared to $48 million in the prior year quarter.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was 21.5%, compared to 19.5% for the prior year quarter, an increase of 200 basis points ("bps"). The 200-bps increase was primarily due to sales growth leverage, supply chain cost savings and product portfolio management.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased ($0.2) million to $16.3 million in the first quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $16.5 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 15.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to 17.4% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The 170-bps decrease was due to leverage on higher sales and structural cost savings, partially offset by investments in growth initiatives for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense was $1.9 million, or an effective rate of 31.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to an income tax expense of $0.6 million, or an effective rate of 44.2% during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and the impact of foreign operations.

Net income was $4.1 million, or $0.74 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) on September 30, 2024, was $98.3 million compared to $95.0 million on June 30, 2024. The $3.3 million increase in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in payroll and related liabilities of $5.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $1.0 million, and a decrease in other current liabilities of $0.3 million offset by an increase in cash of $1.0 million and a decrease in net trade receivables of $4.8 million. Refer to discussion of working capital changes below, under Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Capital expenditures were $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

A summary of operating, investing, and financing cash flow is shown in the following table:

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables of $4.8 million, net income of $4.1 million, adjustments for non-cash items including stock-based compensation of $1.1 million and depreciation of $0.9 million, and a decrease in inventory of $0.7 million offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $6.0 million, an increase in other current assets of $1.8 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $1.0 million and a decrease of other assets and liabilities of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used by operating activities was $1.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in accrued liabilities of $4.5 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $3.7 million, a decrease in other current assets of $2.8 million, and a decrease in other assets of $1.4 million partially offset by an increase in trade receivables of $6.7 million, an increase in inventory of $1.3 million, net income of $0.8 million, and adjustments for non-cash items including depreciation of $0.9 million and stock-based compensation of $0.9 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.7 million due to proceeds from corporate owned life insurance proceeds of $1.1 million, offset by capital expenditures of $0.4.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million due to capital expenditures.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $2.1 million, due to payments on the line of credit of $104.1 million partially offset by proceeds from the line of credit of $102.9 million and dividends paid of $0.9 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million, due to proceeds from the line of credit of $101.3 million partially offset by payments on the line of credit of $96.6 million, dividends paid of $0.9 million, $0.6 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock, and $0.5 million for purchases of company stock..

Line of Credit

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Lender"), and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to

14

create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities. As of September 30, 2024, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On April 18, 2022, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a first amendment to the September 8, 2021, Credit Agreement ("First Amendment to the Credit Agreement"), with the Lender and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term 'Payment Conditions' and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61%, or an effective interest rate of 6.68%, on September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, there was $3.6 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding with the Lender as of September 30, 2024, totaled $0.9 million.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General- Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company's results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, as well as disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, taxes or tariffs on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs, and decrease earnings.

Foreign Currency Risk- During the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have sales but did have purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican Peso. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefits and indirect costs related to our operations in Mexico are made in Pesos and subject to foreign currency fluctuation with the U.S. dollar. The Company does not employ any foreign currency hedges against this exposure. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Peso could increase the cost of our manufactured product. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Interest Rate Risk- The Company's primary market risk exposure regarding financial instruments is changes in interest rates. On September 30, 2024, the Company had $3.6 million outstanding on its line of credit, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of September 30, 2024.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements concerning long-term goals or anticipated results of the Company, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders.

15

Statements, including those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not historical or current facts, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, supply chain disruptions, litigation, restructurings, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, changes in foreign currency values, retention and recruitment of key employees, actions by governments including laws, regulations, taxes and tariffs, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon, competition (both U.S. and foreign), credit exposure with customers, participation in multi-employer pension plans, disruptions or security breaches to business information systems, the impact of any future pandemic, and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the "Risk Factors" section in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
