9. Upholstery Fabrics Segment Restructuring

Ouanaminthe, Haiti

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, CUF Haiti entered into an agreement to terminate a lease associated with a facility located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti and, in turn, moved the production of upholstery cut and sewn kits to an existing facility leased by Culp Home Fashions Haiti, Ltd. (“CHF Haiti”) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Both CUF Haiti and CHF Haiti are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, demand for upholstery cut and sewn kits

declined more than previously anticipated, resulting in the strategic action to discontinue the production of upholstery cut and sew kits in Haiti.

Shanghai, China

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we closed our cut and sew upholstery fabrics operation located in Shanghai, China, which included the termination of an agreement to lease a building. This strategic action, along with the further use of our Asian supply chain, was taken in order to adjust our operating costs to better align with the declining customer demand for cut and sewn products.

 

The following summarizes our restructuring expense and restructuring related charges from both our restructuring activities noted above for the nine months ending January 28, 2024, and January 29, 2023:

(2) Of the total $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $98,000 were recorded within restructuring expense and cost of sales, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Net Loss for the nine-month period ending January 29, 2023.

The restructuring activity related to the discontinuation of production of upholstery cut and sewn kits located in Haiti was mostly completed as of January 28, 2024. As a result of our strategic decision to discontinue this production, we incurred a cumulative charge of $1.3 million in restructuring expense and restructuring related charges from this start of the restructuring activity during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 through January 28, 2024.

The restructuring activity related to the closure of our cut and sew upholstery fabrics operation located in China was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and this restructuring activity incurred a cumulative charge of $713,000 in restructuring expense and restructuring related charges.
