Lovesac (LOVE) Posts Mixed Q2 Results: Sales Up, Net Loss Grows
The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq: LOVE) recently announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, revealing a nuanced performance amidst industry challenges. The company, known for its innovative home furniture solutions, has shown both areas of growth and challenges, offering insights into its strategic direction and future expectations.
Lovesac Q2 Results Show Sales Growth but Higher Losses
The Lovesac Company reported a 2.5% increase in net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, reaching $160.5 million compared to $156.6 million in the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 0.9% increase in omni-channel comparable net sales and the addition of 16 new showrooms. However, the company’s gross profit saw a slight decline of 1.9% to $90.6 million, with a gross margin decrease of 260 basis points, attributed to increased transportation costs and promotional discounting.
Despite the growth in sales, Lovesac recorded a net loss of $6.7 million, or $(0.45) per share, exceeding the expected loss of $0.72 per share. This loss is more significant than the $5.9 million loss from the same quarter last year. The company’s operating expenses decreased slightly by 1.3%, reflecting reductions in professional fees and overhead costs, though these were partially offset by impairment charges and increased payroll and compensation expenses.
Compared to expectations, Lovesac’s performance indicates a mixed outcome. The actual net sales of $160.5 million were slightly below the anticipated $160.85 million, while the net loss per share was more considerable than expected. These results highlight the ongoing challenges within the industry, including evolving tariff landscapes and category headwinds, which the company aims to navigate through strategic initiatives and operational discipline.
