Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts.

Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2026-05-03 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Tariff Refunds During fiscal 2025 and early fiscal 2026, the company incurred import duties under tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that such tariffs were not authorized, and on March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund certain tariffs collected under IEEPA. As of May 3, 2026, the company identified certain potential refunds of previously paid tariffs in accordance with the ruling by the CIT. The company estimated the total potential recovery to be approximately $ 7.0 million, which recovery remained subject to administrative review and final liquidation of the underlying customs entries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Accordingly, this potential recovery was considered a gain contingency in accordance with ASC Topic 450, and therefore the company did not recognize a receivable related to potential tariff refunds as of May 3, 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the company received the entire $ 7.0 million in cash proceeds representing a final approval of these tariff refund claims. The $ 7.0 million is expected to be recognized as a credit to inventory for inventory that is on hand and within cost of sales for inventory that has been sold during the first quarter fiscal 2027 Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Net Income (Loss), respe …

Fair value · 2,330 characters as filed
16. FAIR VALUE ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the companys assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either level 1 or level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 Inputs other than level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, and Level 3 Unobservable inputs developed using the companys estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each reporting period based on various factors, and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from reporting period to reporting period. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare. Recurring Basis The following tables present information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair value measurements as of May 3, 2026, using: Quoted prices in act …

"Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Effective December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the ""FASB"") issued Accounting Standards Update (""ASU"") 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (""ASU 2023-09"" ), which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes . The amendments in this update relate to improvements regarding the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation by jurisdiction of information included in the effective income tax rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. Also, the amendments allow investors to better assess an entity's: (i) capital allocation decisions, (ii) worldwide operations, and (iii) related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities that affect the effective income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures relating to pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) and remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 became effective during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 , and we applied this new guidance retrospectively in our fiscal 2026 annual consolidated financial statements. This guidance did not have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition, but did have a material impact on the disclosures required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which are di …

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that such tariffs were not authorized, and on March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund certain tariffs collected under IEEPA. As of May 3, 2026, the company identified certain potential refunds of previously paid tariffs in accordance with the ruling by the CIT. The company estimated the total potential recovery to be approximately $ 6.9 million, which remained subject to administrative review and final liquidation of the underlying customs entries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Accordingly, this potential recovery was considered a gain contingency in accordance with ASC Topic 450, and therefore the company did not recognize a receivable related to potential tariff refunds as of May 3, 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the company received the entire $ 6.9 million in cash proceeds (excluding interest), representing the final approval of these tariff refund claims.

"16. Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plan Description On September 16, 2015, our shareholders approved an equity incentive plan titled the Culp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan). The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and other equity and cash related awards as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, with certain sub-limits that would apply with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued as defined in the 2015 Plan. Effective September 27, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan (the ""Amended and Restated Plan""). The Amended and Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an additional 960,000 shares of common stock in addition to the shares of common stock still available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The Amended and Restated Plan also removed certain sub-limits that previously applied with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued under the plan.

Fair value · 4,460 characters as filed
12. Fair Value ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the companys assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls to a lower level in the hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows: Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 Unobservable inputs developed using the companys estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter based on various factors, and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from reporting period to reporting period. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare. Recurring Basis The following tables present information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair value measurements as of August 2, 2026, using: Quoted prices Significant i …

Income taxes · 8,319 characters as filed
15. Income Taxes Effective Income Tax Rate Our consolidated effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended August 2, 2026, and August 3, 2025, were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. When calculating the annual estimated effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended August 2, 2026, and August 3, 2025, we were subject to loss limitation rules. These loss limitation rules require any pre-tax loss associated with our U.S. or foreign operations to be excluded from the annual estimated effective income tax rate calculation if it was determined that no income tax benefit could be recognized during the current fiscal year. The effective income tax rate can be impacted over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries located in China, Canada, Haiti, and Vietnam versus annual projections, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded income tax expense of $ 868,000 , or 12.7 % of income before income taxes, for the three-month period ended August 2, 2026, compared with income tax expense of $ 1.4 million, or 120.3 % of income before income taxes, for the three-month period ended August 3, 2025. The primary factors that decreased the company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended August 2, 2026, comp …
