Annual Report 2020

Plain-text annual report

2020 Annual Report Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020 Dear Shareholders, All of us are currently living in unprecedented times. The COVID-19 pandemic has devasted the lives of millions, continues to adversely impact the global economy, and has disrupted many aspects of Flexsteel’s business operations. The past year has been mired with many unforeseen challenges for the Company, notably China tariffs, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these obstacles, our employees’ dedication to the Company and commitment to caring for our customers has not wavered. I’m proud of our team and how they have responded in this difficult and dynamic environment. Perspectives on Fiscal Year 2020 Looking back, at the start of fiscal year 2020 we were keenly focused on advancing our business transformation and returning the Company to profitable growth. Positive momentum was built early in the year, but it was quickly disrupted by escalating tensions in US-China trade relations which led to significant tariffs on many imports from China, including residential furniture. The sales and profit impact of the tariffs was highly damaging to our business, and we aggressively shifted China sourced production to other countries wherever we could and as fast as possible. As we adjusted the business to these new realities and started to recover our lost momentum, COVID-19 ruthlessly struck people and businesses throughout the globe. In response to COVID-19, we accelerated many strategic decisions and took bold actions to transform our Company. While many of these decisions were difficult, they were necessary and have made Flexsteel much stronger and better positioned for long-term profitable growth. We exited several non-core product lines to sharpen our focus on competing in residential furniture markets where we are advantaged. We significantly reduced operational complexity by rationalizing our product offering to what is most relevant to today’s consumers. And we aggressively reduced structural costs and optimized our network footprint to become nimbler, better serve our customers, and expedite our return to profitability. While we are an organization dedicated to continuous improvement, and there is still much work to be done, I feel we have achieved a major milestone in our transformational journey. We now have a solid foundation for future growth, which is reflected in the strength of our first quarter performance in fiscal year 2021, most notably double-digit organic growth and the return to operating margins which are near historical peak levels. From a macro viewpoint, the industry has seen a surge in demand for household furniture since June as consumers spend more time at home and shift discretionary spending from travel and entertainment to home goods. No one, including myself, anticipated the enormity of the rebound in consumer spending on furniture when retailers began re-opening their stores in late May and early June. Our restructuring efforts have made us more agile, and we’ve been able to capitalize on this positive shift in consumer spending for furniture in both our retail and e- commerce channels. As a result, our backlog ended the first quarter at a historical record high of $89 million. Looking Forward Our transformation plan is working. With profitability restored in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and plans in place to sustain that profitability, we are now pivoting to the next stage in our transformation to aggressively pursue new sources of profitable growth. We are in the process of building out comprehensive plans to achieve our full growth potential. Delivering growth above market will undoubtedly require new investments which we currently intend to fund with margin expansion initiatives if possible. As we move forward in our reinvention journey, there are several strategies which are core to our future success and will guide our future growth plans. First, we are committed to being an omni-channel company. We intend to be wherever our customers and consumers want to buy furniture and to provide them a path to purchase consistent with how they want to buy. E-commerce will be a critical growth area, including direct-to-consumer capabilities. In August, we launched a new website for our homestyles brand, www.homestylesfurniture.com, and began selling a limited assortment of homestyles branded furniture online. Second, we will expand our product portfolio across large, relevant categories and varied price points, and will effectively market those products through powerful brands tailored to targeted consumer segments. Third, we will deliver a differentiated and valued customer experience. And fourth, we will expand our agile, lean and resilient global supply chain as a competitive advantage. In Closing While the current environment remains very dynamic due to ongoing uncertainty, I am optimistic about the long-term future of Flexsteel and our ability to create value for you, our shareholders. Financial results for the past several years have not met our expectations, but we’ve turned the corner at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and have confidence that we can build on this momentum. Our teams are competing well, and we are investing in the talent, culture and growth initiatives needed to catapult the Company’s performance to even higher levels in the years to come. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Jerry Dittmer President and Chief Executive Officer [This page intentionally left blank] UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

Statements, including those in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, 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, timing to implement restructuring, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of this 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. Item 1. Business General Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is one of the largest manufacturers, importers and online marketers of residential furniture and products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of upholstered furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs and bedroom 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 dealer network. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has substantially completed its exit from the Commercial Office and custom-designed Hospitality product lines. On April 28, 2020, the Company announced it will exit the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines, and subsequently closed its Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities. The Company expects to complete the restructuring activities related to the exit of the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines during fiscal 2021. The Company operates in one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company’s furniture products business involves the distribution of manufactured and imported products consisting of a broad line of upholstered and wooden furniture for residential and contract markets. Set forth below is information for the past three fiscal years showing the Company’s net sales attributable to each of the areas of application: (in thousands) Residential Contract Manufacturing and Offshore Sourcing 2020 For the years ended June 30, 2019 $ $ 331,879 $ 35,047 366,926 $ 374,473 $ 69,115 443,588 $ 2018 413,664 75,516 489,180 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company operated manufacturing facilities located in Georgia, Juarez, Mexico, Iowa and Mississippi (both locations in Iowa and Mississippi ceased operations effective June 30, 2020). These on-going manufacturing operations are integral to the Company’s product offerings and distribution strategy by offering smaller and more frequent product runs of a wider product selection. The Company identifies and eliminates manufacturing inefficiencies and adjusts manufacturing schedules on a daily basis to meet customer requirements. The Company has established relationships with key suppliers to ensure prompt delivery of quality component parts. The Company’s production includes the use of selected component parts sourced offshore to enhance value in the marketplace. 3 The Company integrates manufactured products with finished products acquired from offshore suppliers who can meet quality specifications and scheduling requirements. The Company will continue to pursue and refine this blended strategy, offering customers manufactured goods, products manufactured utilizing imported component parts, and ready-to-deliver imported products. This blended focus on products allows the Company to provide a wide range of price points, styles and product categories to satisfy customer requirements. Competition The furniture industry is highly competitive and includes a large number of U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors, none of which dominates the market. The Company competes in markets with a large number of relatively small manufacturers; however, certain competitors have substantially greater sales volumes than the Company. The Company’s products compete based on style, quality, price, delivery, service and durability. The Company believes its patented, guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring, manufacturing and sourcing capabilities, facility locations, commitment to customers, product quality, delivery, service, value and experienced production, sales, marketing and management teams, are some of its competitive advantages. Seasonality The Company’s business is not considered seasonal. Foreign Operations The Company makes minimal export sales. At June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 60 employees located in Asia to ensure Flexsteel’s quality standards are met and to coordinate the delivery of purchased products. The Company leases and operates two manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico utilizing contracted labor. The two Juarez facilities totaled 356,000 square feet. The Company also leases a 51,000 square feet bonded warehouse in Binh Duong, Vietnam to facilitate efficient consolidation and shipment to its U.S. warehouses and customers. Effective August 2020, the Company exited the bonded warehouse in Binh Duong, Vietnam. Customer Backlog The approximate backlog of customer orders believed to be firm as of the end of the current fiscal year and the prior two fiscal years were as follows (in thousands): June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 $ 46,900 $ 47,400 $ 53,700 Raw Materials The Company utilizes various types of wood, fabric, leather, filling material, high carbon spring steel, bar and wire stock, polyurethane and other raw materials in manufacturing furniture. While the Company purchases these materials from numerous outside suppliers, both U.S. and foreign, it is not dependent upon any single source of supply. The costs of certain raw materials fluctuate, but all continue to be readily available. Working Capital Practices For a discussion of the Company’s working capital practices, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Industry Factors The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Government Regulations The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal laws, regulations and agencies that affect businesses generally, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Environmental Matters The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations with respect to product content and industrial waste, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “Legal Proceedings” in Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 4 Trademarks and Patents The Company owns the United States improvement patents to its Flexsteel guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring – the all-riveted, high- carbon, steel-banded seating platform that gives upholstered and leather furniture the strength and comfort to last a lifetime, as well as patents on convertible beds. The Company has patents and owns certain trademarks in connection with its furniture products which are due to expire on dates ranging from 2020-2036. It is not common in the furniture industry to obtain a patent for a furniture design. If a particular design of a furniture manufacturer is well accepted in the marketplace, it is common for other manufacturers to imitate the same design without recourse by the furniture manufacturer who initially introduced the design. Furniture products are designed by the Company’s own design staff and through the services of third-party designers. New models and designs of furniture, as well as new fabrics, are introduced continuously. Employees The Company had 636 employees as of June 30, 2020, including 9 employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management believes it has good relations with employees.

Information on our website or linked to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report. Item 1A. Risk Factors The Company is subject to a variety of risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors detailed below in conjunction with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Should any of these risks materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition, and future prospects could be negatively impacted. There may be additional factors that are presently unknown to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial that could affect its business. The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant disruption in non-essential retail commerce and may continue to have a material adverse impact on our financial conditions and results of operations. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, Federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restriction on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. These measures have had a significant adverse impact upon many sectors of the economy, including non-essential retail commerce. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and is expected to continue to adversely affect our operations, supply chains, manufacturing and distribution systems. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable reductions in the demand for our products primarily due to our customers closing their stores. We temporarily closed our manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico and many of our Corporate employees are working remotely. As of the date of this filing, we have reopened our manufacturing facilities. Whereas most state and local governments have begun to ease restrictions on commercial retail activity, it is possible that a resurgence in COVID-19 cases could prompt a return to tighter restrictions in certain areas of the county. In addition, there may be a risk that one or more of our employees may contract COVID-19, which may result in the need to shutdown a manufacturing or distribution location for an extended period of time, which could interrupt business service to our customers. If COVID-19 spikes in the geographic locations we are in, local governments may mandate a shutdown of one or more of our operating sites, which could interrupt service to our customers. Furthermore, the economic recession brought on by the pandemic may have a continuing adverse impact on consumer demand for our products. We expect the pandemic to have a continuing material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, however, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these future impacts at this time. Business information systems could be impacted by disruptions and security breaches. The Company employs information technology systems to support its global business. Security breaches and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure could interfere with operations, compromise information belonging to the Company and its customers and suppliers and expose the Company to liability which could adversely impact the Company’s business and reputation. In the ordinary course of business, the Company relies on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit 5 and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Additionally, the Company collects and stores certain data, including proprietary business information, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain areas of its businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and customer-imposed controls. While security breaches and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology networks and infrastructure could happen, none have occurred to date that have had a material impact to the Company. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penalties under privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to the Company’s reputation, which could adversely affect the Company’s business. In addition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have allowed certain of our employees the option to work from home. Although we continue to implement strong physical and cybersecurity measures to ensure that our business operations remain functional and to ensure uninterrupted service to our customers, our systems and our operations remain vulnerable to cyberattacks and other disruptions due to the fact that a significant portion of our employees work remotely as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot be certain that our mitigation efforts will be effective. The implementation of a new business information system could disrupt the business. The Company plans to convert certain modules from its legacy ERP system to SAP during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, which include the revenue, expenditure, fixed asset, and financial accounting modules. An ineffective implementation of the new ERP system may result in the following: • Disruption of the Company’s domestic and international supply chain; • Inability to fill customer orders accurately and on a timely basis; • Inability to process payments to suppliers and vendors; • Negative impact on financial results; • • Inability to fulfill federal, state and local tax filing requirements in a timely and accurate matter; and Increased demands of management and associates to the detriment of other corporate initiatives. The execution of the Company’s comprehensive restructuring plan. On June 18, 2019, the Company announced it completed the analysis and planning process and set forth the comprehensive transformation program including previously announced activities, restructuring and related expenses, expected benefits both on-going and one-time in nature to be executed over a two year period. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has substantially completed the portion of the restructuring activities related to the exit of the Commercial Office and custom-designed Hospitality product lines. On April 28, 2020, the Company announced it will exit the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines, and subsequently closed its Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities. The Company expects to complete the restructuring activities related to the exit of the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines during fiscal 2021. As a result of these planned actions, the Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring and related expenses of approximately $56 to $58 million over this two-year timeframe of which $25 to $26 million will be cash and $31 - $32 million non-cash. The Company has recorded a total cumulative cost of $55.2 million in restructuring costs through the year ended June 30, 2020. See Note 5 Restructuring of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. Delayed or missed execution or implementation of the restructuring plan may result in the following: Inability to fill customer orders on a timely basis resulting in lost sales; Increased one-time costs to implement; • • • Sub-optimized business model resulting in higher on-going costs and lower profitability; • Reduced savings opportunity achieved; • Overall negative impact on financial performance including cash flow from operations; and • Reduced liquidity to fund the daily operations of the business. Future success depends on the Company’s ability to manage its global supply chain. The Company acquires raw materials, component parts and certain finished products from external suppliers, both U.S. and foreign. Many of these suppliers are dependent upon other suppliers in countries other than where they are located. This global interdependence within the Company’s supply chain is subject to delays in delivery, availability, quality, and pricing. Changes in international trade policies including tariffs could disrupt the supply chain, increase cost and reduce competitiveness. The delivery of goods from these suppliers may be delayed by customs, labor issues, geo-political pressures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in political, economic and social conditions, weather, laws and regulations. Unfavorable fluctuations in price, international trade policies, quality, delivery and availability of these products could adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet demands of customers and cause negative impacts to the Company’s cost structure, profitability and its cash flow. 6 Recently enacted tariffs and potential future increases in tariffs on manufactured goods imported from China could adversely affect our business. Effective September 24, 2018, the current U.S. administration imposed a 10% tariff on goods imported into the United States from China, including all furniture and furniture components manufactured in China. Effective May 10, 2019, the tariff was increased to 25% on furniture imported on or after June 1, 2019. As trade negotiations between the United States and China continue, it is unclear as to whether or not the U.S. administration will take further tariff action or perhaps grant relief to actions already put in place. Inability to reduce acquisition costs or pass through price increases may have an adverse impact on sales volume, earnings and liquidity. Similarly, increases in pricing may have an adverse impact on the competitiveness of the Company’s products relative to other furniture manufacturers with less exposure to the tariff and could also lead to adverse impacts on volume, earnings and liquidity. Additionally, a disruption in supply from foreign countries could adversely affect our ability to timely fill customer orders for those products and decrease our sales, earnings and liquidity. Our main foreign countries we source from are Vietnam, China, Thailand and Mexico. In early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak in China resulted in the temporary shutdown or reduced capacity of our vendors’ factories. Consequently, we experienced some out-of-stocks, but in some cases were able to provide substitutions out of inventory on hand, in-transit and from our domestic warehouses, but not enough to entirely mitigate the lost sales. Many of our vendors’ factories are back online, however, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused travel restrictions due to government regulations. The travel restrictions have caused labor shortages for our Vietnam suppliers due to limited access to workers from other surrounding countries. Consequently, we may experience shortages of certain products. It is unclear how our supply chain could be further impacted by COVID-19 and there are many unknowns including how long we will be impacted, the severity of the impacts and the probability of a recurrence of COVID-19 or similar regional or global pandemics. If we were to be unsuccessful in obtaining those products from other sources or at comparable cost, a disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition and liquidity. Competition from U.S. and foreign finished product manufacturers may adversely affect the business, operating results or financial condition. The furniture industry is very competitive and fragmented. The Company competes with U.S. and foreign manufacturers and distributors. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain or raise the prices of its products in response to competitive pressures or increasing costs. Also, due to the large number of competitors and their wide range of product offerings, the Company may not be able to significantly differentiate its products (through styling, finish and other construction techniques) from those of its competitors. Additionally, a majority of our sales are to distribution channels that rely on physical stores to merchandise and sell our products and a significant shift in consumer preference toward purchasing products online could have a materially adverse impact on our sales and operating margin. The COVID-19 pandemic could accelerate or increase the shift to online furniture purchases by changing customer shopping patterns and behaviors, including decreased consumer willingness to visit physical retail locations. These and other competitive pressures could cause us to lose market share, revenues and customers, increase expenditures or reduce prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity. Future costs of complying with various laws and regulations may adversely impact future operating results. The Company’s business is subject to various laws and regulations which could have a significant impact on operations and the cost to comply with such laws and regulations could adversely impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, inadvertently failing to comply with such laws and regulations could produce negative consequences which could adversely impact the Company’s operations. The Company’s participation in multi-employer pension plans may have exposures under those plans that could extend beyond what its obligations would be with respect to its employees. The Company participates in, and makes periodic contributions to, three multi-employer pension plans that cover union employees. Multi-employer pension plans are managed by trustee boards comprised of participating employer and labor union representatives, and the employers participating in a multi-employer pension plan are jointly responsible for maintaining the plan’s funding requirements. Based on the most recent information available to the Company, the present value of actuarially accrued liabilities in one of the multi- employer pension plans substantially exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. As a result of the Company’s participation, it could experience greater volatility in the overall pension funding obligations. The Company’s obligations may be impacted by the funded status of the plans, the plans’ investment performance, changes in the participant demographics, financial stability of contributing employers and changes in actuarial assumptions. See Note 12 Benefit and Retirement Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. 7 Future results may be affected by various legal proceedings and compliance risk, including those involving product liability, environmental, or other matters. The Company faces the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event the use of any of its products results in personal injury or property damage. In the event any of the Company’s products prove to be defective, it may be required to recall or redesign such products. The Company is also subject to various laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and the discharge of materials into the environment. The Company could incur substantial costs, including legal expenses, as a result of the noncompliance with, or liability for cleanup or other costs or damages under, environmental laws. Given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, these various legal proceedings and compliance matters could have a material impact on the business, operating results and financial condition. See Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. The Company’s success depends on its ability to recruit and retain key employees and highly skilled workers in a competitive labor market. If the Company is not successful in recruiting and retaining key employees and highly skilled workers or experiences the unexpected loss of those employees, the operations may be negatively impacted. Additionally, we are and will continue to be dependent upon our senior management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of our management team or other key personnel could adversely affect our operations. In addition, COVID- 19 increases the risk that certain senior executive officers or a member of the board of directors could become ill, causing them to be incapacitated or otherwise unable to perform their duties for an extended absence. Furthermore, because of the nature of the disease, multiple people working in close proximity could also become ill simultaneously which could result in the same department having extended absences. This could negatively impact the efficiency and effectiveness of processes and internal controls throughout the Company. We have implemented work-from-home policies for certain employees. The effects of our work-from-home policies may negatively impact productivity and disrupt our business, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Failure to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer or designer tastes and fashions in a timely manner could adversely affect the Company’s business and decrease sales and earnings. Furniture is a styled product and is subject to rapidly changing consumer and end-user trends and tastes and is highly fashion oriented. If the Company is not able to acquire sufficient fabric variety or if the Company is unable to predict or respond to changes in fashion trends, it may lose sales and have to sell excess inventory at reduced prices. The Company’s products are considered deferrable purchases for consumers during economic downturns. Prolonged negative economic conditions could impact the business. Economic downturns and prolonged negative economic conditions could affect consumer spending habits by decreasing the overall demand for home furnishings and contract products. These events could impact retailers, recreational seating and healthcare businesses resulting in an impact on the Company’s business. A recovery in the Company’s sales could lag significantly behind a general economic recovery due to the deferrable nature and relatively significant cost of home furnishings and contract products purchases. Terms of collective bargaining agreements and labor disruptions could adversely impact results of operations. Terms of collective bargaining agreements that prevent the Company from competing effectively could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is committed to working with those groups to avert or resolve conflicts as they arise. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. We may not be able to collect amounts owed to us. We grant 30-day payment terms to most customers. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some customers have requested extended payment terms or informed us they will not pay amounts within agreed upon terms. Some of our customers have experienced, and may in the future experience, cash flow and credit-related issues. If the negative economic effects of COVID-19 were to persist or a similar pandemic or another major, unexpected event with negative economic effects were to occur, we may not be able to collect amounts owed to us or such payment may only occur after significant delay. While we perform credit evaluations of our customers, those evaluations may not prevent uncollectible trade accounts receivable. Credit evaluations involve significant management diligence and judgment, especially in the current environment. Should more customers than we anticipate experience liquidity issues, if payment is 8 not received on a timely basis, or if a customer declares bankruptcy or closes stores, we may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us by these customers, which could adversely affect our sales, earnings, financial condition and liquidity.

Legal Proceedings Environmental Matters – In March 2016, the Company received a General Notice Letter for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site (the “Lane Street Site”) located in Elkhart, Indiana from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April 2016, the EPA issued their proposed clean-up plan for groundwater pollution and request for public comment. The Company responded to the request for public comment in May 2016. The EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting a remedy in August 2016 and estimated total costs to remediate of $3.6 million. In July 2017, the EPA issued a Special Notice Letter to the Company demanding that the Company perform the remedy selected and pay for the remediation cost and past response costs of $5.5 million. On October 12, 2017, the Company, after consultation with its insurance carriers, offered an amount, fully reimbursable by insurance coverage, to the EPA to resolve this matter. On November 6, 2017, the settlement offer extended on October 12, 2017 was rejected. In April 2018, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (the “Order”) against the Company. The Order was issued under Section 106(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9606(a). The Order directs the Company to perform remedial design and remedial action for the Lane 9 Street Site. The Order was to be effective May 29, 2018. To ensure completion of the remediation work, the EPA required the Company to secure financial assurance in the initial amount a $3.6 million, which as noted above, is the estimated cost of remedial work. The Company believes that financial assurance is not required because it meets the relevant financial test criteria as provided in the Order. In May 2018, the EPA agreed to suspend enforcement of the Order so that the Company could conduct environmental testing upgradient to its former manufacturing location pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC). On April 24, 2019, the Company signed an AOC with the EPA to conduct the upgradient investigation. The Company negotiated site access to the upgradient property over a period of months in 2019, followed by completion of sampling activities on that property on September 28-29, 2019. Following multiple exchanges from November 2019 through early 2020, the Company submitted a final and supplemental report to the EPA regarding the results of the upgradient investigation on June 17, 2020. On July 13, 2020, the Company further entered in to a Second Amended Tolling Agreement that tolls the statute of limitations for potential claims by the EPA through February 24, 2021. The Company reflected a $3.6 million liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Despite the Company’s position that it did not cause nor contribute to the contamination, the Company continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 in accordance with FASB issued Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410-30). The Company continues to evaluate the Order, its legal options and insurance coverages to assert its defense and recovery of current and future expenses related to this matter. Employment Matters – The lawsuit entitled Juan Hernandez, et al. v. Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (“Hernandez I”), was filed on February 21, 2019 in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside by former employees Juan Hernandez and Richard Diaz (together, “Plaintiffs”). On April 29, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a second similarly titled lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside (“Hernandez II”). Hernandez II is brought by the same attorneys as Hernandez I and features a single cause of action for civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). Flexsteel agreed to resolve both Hernandez I and Hernandez II in principle and on a class-wide basis for $0.5 million. That settlement will serve to resolve the claims of the two Plaintiffs, as well as the approximately 270 remaining members of the class unless an individual class member asks to be excluded. At present, the material terms of the settlement are captured in a Long-Form Settlement Agreement. Flexsteel anticipates that obtaining final approval of the parties’ settlement from the court will take at least six months and potentially longer, such that any settlement payments will not be made until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The settlement amount of $0.5 million, has been accrued in other current liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. COVID-19 Pandemic The World Health Organization (“WHO”) on March 11, 2020 declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. We are monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial results. The impact on our business will depend on the length of the pandemic and local government regulations. We have taken precautionary measures to protect the health and safety our employees, including having our employees working from home. The COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the extent of the impact to our business may be significant, however, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time. Business Update On April 28, 2020, we announced the exit of our Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines, and subsequently closed our Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities. We expect to complete the restructuring activities related to the exit of our Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines during fiscal 2021. Both of these product lines combined represented less than 8% of the Company’s total net sales for the fiscal year ended 2020. On June 1, 2020, we announced our Board of Directors authorized a $6 million share repurchase program through June 9, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, on August 21, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $8 million of the Company’s common stock. There is no guarantee as to the exact number or value of shares that will be repurchased by the Company, and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional repurchases are not warranted. The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the Company’s results of operations on a comparative basis for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company’s net sales. Results of Operations Net sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling, general and administrative Restructuring expense Environmental remediation ERP impairment Gain on disposal of assets Litigation settlement costs Operating income (loss) Other income Interest (expense) Income (loss) before income taxes Income tax benefit (provision) Net income (loss) 2020 For the years ended June 30, 2019 2018 100.0 % 85.5 14.5 19.7 9.3 — — 5.2 — (9.4) 0.2 (0.0) (9.2) 1.9 (7.3) % 100.0 % 84.2 15.8 18.3 2.3 — 4.8 — 0.1 (9.7) 0.1 — (9.6) 2.2 (7.4) % 100.0 79.9 20.1 14.7 — 0.8 — 0.4 — 5.0 0.1 — 5.1 (1.5) 3.6 Fiscal 2020 Compared to Fiscal 2019 Net sales for fiscal year 2020 were $366.9 million compared to $443.6 million in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 17.3%. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, residential net sales were $331.9 million compared to $374.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of 11.4%. The decline in residential net sales were primarily attributable to volume decreases on furniture imported from China as a result of the 25% tariff and the related price increases taken to the market, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline was partially offset by an increase in our ready to assemble furniture sold through e-commerce, which grew 35.7% year over year, primarily driven by increased demand. 13 Contract net sales were $35.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 49.3% from net sales of $69.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. The decline in contract net sales was primarily driven by our decision to exit the Commercial Office and custom- designed Hospitality product lines, coupled with a decline in healthcare and Vehicle Seating products due to demand. In April 2020, we announced the exit of our Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was 14.5% compared to 15.8% for the prior year period, a decline of 130 basis points (bps). The 130 bps decline was primarily driven by a decline of 280 bps due to lower volume and product mix, a decline of 60 bps for increased costs to improve delivery lead times, partially offset by 120 bps from valuation allowance on foreign VAT as a result of collections made during the fiscal year and 80 bps from restructuring cost improvements. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $8.9 million to $72.4 million compared to $81.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 19.7% for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared to 18.3% of net sales in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by higher bad debt expense of $5.0 million attributable to a customer bankruptcy and the current economic environment, right- of-use lease asset impairments of $2.9 million, partially offset by current year restructuring savings and lower expenses on reduced volume. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $34.2 million of restructuring expenses primarily for write-down of assets due to impairment, facility closures, professional fees, pension withdrawal liability and employee termination costs as part of our previously announced comprehensive transformation program. See Note 5 Restructuring of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we completed the sale of our Riverside, California property for the sale price of $20.5 million generating net proceeds of $19.6 million after customary closes costs, prorations and commissions. This resulted in a recognized pre-tax gain on sale of $18.9 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company sold one of its facilities in Harrison, Arkansas on August 14, 2020 for a sale price of $0.7 million. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was 20.5% compared to 23.5% in the prior year period. The difference between the 2020 and 2019 rates relate to recording the current year benefit at 35% federal tax rate rather than the current statutory rate of 21% due to the carryback benefit discussed below. In addition, we recorded an $8.4 million valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets of $10.6 million. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted the current fiscal year 2020. The CARES Act permits net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, (the Company’s fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021) to offset 100% of taxable income and be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company evaluated the impact of the CARES Act during the year ended June 30, 2020 and recorded an income tax receivable of $4.5 million for the benefit of carrying back the fiscal year 2020 NOL and an income tax receivable of $8.2M for the benefit of carryback the fiscal year 2019 NOL. As the Company is carrying the losses back to years beginning before January 1, 2018, the receivables were recorded at the previous 35% federal tax rate rather than the current statutory rate of 21%. The above factors resulted in a net loss of $26.8 million or $3.37 per diluted share for fiscal year 2020 compared to a net loss of $32.6 million or $4.13 per diluted share in the prior year period. Fiscal 2019 Compared to Fiscal 2018 Net sales for fiscal year 2019 were $443.6 million compared to $489.2 million in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 9.3%. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, residential net sales were $374.5 million compared to $413.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of 9.5%. The implementation of the tariff on furniture imported from China at 10% followed by an increase to 25% drove approximately 45% of the overall contraction in residential net sales. An additional 38% of decline in residential net sales was driven by lost share on products sold through our e-commerce channel due to the significant disruption caused by the implementation of the ERP system in the beginning of fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Over the 2019 fiscal year, the Company continued work stabilizing the ERP system, improving service levels, inventory positions and promotions to regain share positions through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019. In addition, the Company has brought in new leadership over the Company’s e-commerce strategy and execution as well as a new Chief Information Officer to drive the information technology backbone including the ERP solution to facilitate success in the channel. The remaining reduction in residential net sales versus the 2018 fiscal year was attributed to general market softness as well as two strong comparative quarters in fiscal 2018. 14 Contract net sales were $69.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of 8.5% from net sales of $75.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2018. Reductions in Commercial Office products followed by Hospitality products drove a majority of the year over year decline. In May 2019, the Company announced the exit of the Commercial Office and custom designed Hospitality product lines. The declines in these product lines was partially offset by 14% year on year growth in our Vehicle Seating product line. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was 15.8% compared to 20.1% for the prior year period, a decline of 430 basis points (bps). The key drivers in the margin deterioration were one-time in nature, such as charges related to inventory impairment due to restructuring activity of $7.7 million (170 bps), a valuation allowance on foreign VAT of $2.6 million (60 bps), and relocation costs of the Dubuque manufacturing facility of $1.0 million (20 bps). The remaining deterioration to last year was driven primarily by improved pricing (80 bps) offset by higher material and input costs (180 bps) and higher inventory valuation allowances for excess and obsolescence as volume declined (50 bps). Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019 were 18.3% of net sales compared to 14.7% of net sales in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by lower volume, higher IT costs associated with the implementation and stabilization of the new ERP system of $3.8 million, DMI Pension termination of $2.5 million, CEO transition costs of $2.0 million, and higher marketing and advertising costs of $1.5 million. The twelve months ended June 30, 2018 included $3.6 million related to the April 25, 2018 United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) issuance of a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) 106(a) order (the “Order”) for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site located in Elkhart, Indiana reported in “Environmental remediation”. The after-tax basis reported in “Environmental remediation” is $2.5 million or $0.32 per share. The Company completed a $6.5 million sale of a facility and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.8 million during fiscal year 2018. The after-tax basis reported in “Gain on sale of facility” is $1.3 million or $0.16 per share. The twelve months ended June 30, 2019 included $21.3 million reported in “ERP impairment” related to the impairment of the abandoned components and development work associated with unusable elements of the business information system. The after-tax basis reported in “ERP Impairment” is $16.3 million or $2.06 per share for fiscal 2019. Reported under “Restructuring expense” in fiscal 2019 were $10.0 million associated with the restructuring plan the Company first announced on May 15, 2019. The Company has been in the process of executing the restructuring plan. In fiscal 2019, the after-tax basis reported in “Restructuring expense” were $7.7 million or $0.97 per share. In fiscal 2019, reported under “Legal settlement (costs) reimbursements” were $0.5 million associated with an employment matter and the after-tax basis reported in “Legal settlement (costs) reimbursements” were $0.4 million or $0.05 per share. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the effective tax rate was 23.5% compared to 29.7% in the prior year period. The fiscal 2019 results were favorably impacted by a full fiscal year impact of the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in addition to net operating losses within the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The above factors resulted in a net loss of ($32.6) million or ($4.13) per diluted share for fiscal year 2019 compared to a net income of $17.7 million or $2.23 per diluted share in the prior year period. COVID-19 update Liquidity and Capital Resources Due to continued uncertainties as a result of COVID-19, we implemented measures to enhance our liquidity position and improve working capital. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, we reduced our quarterly dividend from $0.22 per share to $0.05 per share. We extended a 25% salary reduction for our CEO and CFO/COO and 50% cash compensation reduction for our Board of Directors through October 1, 2020. To further bolster liquidity, on August 28, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Dubuque Bank & Trust Company, for a secured $25.0 million credit facility with a two-year term. No borrowings have been made on the $25.0 million credit facility. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at June 30, 2020 was $128.4 million compared to $118.2 million at June 30, 2019. The $10.2 million increase in working capital was due to an increase in cash of $26.0 million, primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of the Riverside, California facility of $20.5 million, increase in assets held for sale of $12.3 million, increase in other current assets of $6.6 million, and a decrease in restructuring liability of $4.2 million, partially offset by $23.1 million in inventory reduction as a result of inventory management and SKU rationalization activities, decrease in trade receivables of $5.9 million due to lower sales, and an increase in accounts payable of $9.3 million. A summary of operating, investing and financing cash flow is show in the following table: 15 (in thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities Net cash used in financing activities Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents Net cash provided by operating activities For the years ended June 30, 2020 2019 $ $ 18,287 $ 16,785 (9,122) 25,950 $ 6,714 (5,170) (7,047) (5,503) For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $18.3 million, which primarily consisted of net loss of $26.8 million, adjusted for non-cash depreciation of $8.4 million, gain from sale of capital assets of $19.0 million, stock based compensation of $4.9 million, asset impairment charges of $20.4 million, change in deferred income taxes of $5.5 million and change in accounts receivable and VAT allowance of $0.5 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was $25.6 million. The cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $25.6 million, was primarily due to a decline in inventory and accounts receivable of $23.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, coupled with an increase in accounts payable of $9.3 million, partially offset by a decline in accrued liabilities of $6.0 million. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.7 million, which primarily consisted of net loss of $32.6 million, adjusted for non-cash depreciation of $7.4 million, stock based compensation of $1.4 million, ERP asset impairment charge of $21.3 million, change in deferred income taxes of $6.1 million, VAT allowance of $2.6 million, and defined benefit plan termination of $2.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $9.1 million, primarily due to dividends paid of $7.0 million, treasury stock purchases of $1.6 million and $0.6 million for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $7.0 million, primarily due to dividend paid of $6.9 million. Lines of Credit On August 28, 2020, we entered into a secured $25.0 million credit facility with Dubuque Bank & Trust Company, with a two year term and interest of 1.50% plus LIBOR, subject to a floor of 3.0%. The credit facility expires on August 28, 2022. The credit facility is secured by essentially all of the Company’s assets, excluding real property and requires the Company maintain compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. No borrowings have been made on the $25.0 million credit facility. We had an unsecured credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells”) that provided short-term capital financing up to $10.0 million with interest of LIBOR plus 1%.

See Note 9 Credit Arrangements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financing Arrangements Outlook The COVID-19 global pandemic presents unprecedented challenges during fiscal 2021. Our focus for fiscal 2021 will be to preserve cash and liquidity, improve our cost structure, return to profitability at lower sales levels, and improve our capital efficiency. During fiscal 2021, the Company anticipates spending $3 million to $4 million for capital expenditures. The Company believes it has adequate working capital to meet these requirements. Critical Accounting Policies The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. We use estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used for such items as collectability of trade accounts receivable and inventory valuation. Ultimate results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Accounts Receivable Allowances – we establish accounts receivable allowances to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. Our accounts receivable allowances consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts which is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements. Inventories – we value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Our inventory valuation reflects markdowns for the excess of the cost over the amount expected to be realized and considers obsolete and excess inventory. Markdowns establish a new cost basis for the Company’s inventory. Subsequent changes in facts or circumstances do not result in the reversal of previously recorded markdowns or an increase in that newly established cost basis. Valuation of Long–Lived Assets – we periodically review the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For assets held for sale, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell. We recorded impairments of $20.4 million and $21.3 million in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $20.4 million impairment recorded in fiscal 2020 include $2.9 million related to our leases of two showroom spaces. No impairment was recorded in fiscal 2018. Restructuring Costs – The Company groups exit or disposal cost obligations into three categories: Involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits must be a one-time benefit, and this element of restructuring cost is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any inventory impairment costs as a result of restructuring activities are accounted for as cost of goods sold. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements See Item 8. Note1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 17 Item 7A. 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 fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company did not have sales, but has purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices is not considered significant. Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any debt outstanding. 18 Item 8.

Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Minneapolis, MN August 28, 2020 21 FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is one of the largest manufacturers, importers and online marketers of residential furniture and products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of upholstered furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs and bedroom 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 dealer network. COVID-19 – in March 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. This pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, led to significant travel and transportation restrictions, including mandatory business closures and orders to shelter in place. The Company’s business operations and financial performance for the fiscal year 2020 were impacted by COVID-19. These impacts are discussed within these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the extent of the impact to our business may be significant, however, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America. USE OF ESTIMATES – the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. FAIR VALUE – the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. GAAP on fair value measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities require that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES – the Company establishes accounts receivable allowances to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company’s accounts receivable allowances consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts which is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write- off amounts. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements. INVENTORIES – are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first-in - first-out (“FIFO”) method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. VALUATION OF LONG–LIVED ASSETS – the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. For assets held for sale, if the net book value of the asset is greater than its estimated fair value less cost to sell, an impairment is recorded for the excess of net book value over estimated fair value less cost to sell. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – Assets held for sale represent land, buildings, machinery and equipment for locations that have met the criteria of “held for sale” accounting, as specified by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Once an asset is classified as held for sale, the Company ceases deprecating the asset. The assets held for sale are being marketed for sale and it is the Company’s intention to complete the sale of the assets within the upcoming year. 26 RESTRUCTURING COSTS - The Company groups exit or disposal cost obligations into three categories: Involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and other associated costs. Involuntary employee termination benefits must be a one- time benefit, and this element of restructuring cost is recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any inventory impairment costs as a result of restructuring activities are accounted for as cost of goods sold. LEASES – On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”) and the related amendments. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right of use 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 adopted ASC 842 utilizing the optional transition method, which allows guidance to be initially applied at the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company to forgo reassessing prior conclusions on lease definition, classification and initial direct costs related to existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company has 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. See Note 2, Leases, for the Company’s lease disclosures. WARRANTY – the Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We generate revenue primarily by manufacturing and delivering upholstered and wooden furniture products to independent furniture retailers in the United States. Each unit of furniture is a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations when control of our product is passed to our customer, which is the point in time that are customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit of the goods or services. Net sales consist of product sales and shipping and handling charges, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides a framework for the recognition of revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the modified retrospective method on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as revenue is recognized when product ownership and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, collectability is probable and the Company has no remaining performance obligations. Thus, the timing of revenue recognition is not impacted by the new standard. The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is reduced by appropriate allowances, estimated returns, price concessions, or similar adjustments as applicable. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time. Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon historical data and discount percentages, set with each customer. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees, and not as variable consideration related to revenue. Occasionally the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within “Accounts payable - trade” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $0.2 million of customer deposits. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.1 million of customer deposits. 27 Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the following practical expedients and policy elections: • The Company did not adjust contract prices for the effects of a significant financing component, as it expects the period when the goods or services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less than a year. • Costs for shipping and handling activities that occur before the customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment activities. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue. • Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commissions, are recorded as an SG&A expense when incurred. • All taxes imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, and franchise taxes are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on financial position, results from operations and cash flows or related disclosures. The following table disaggregates the Company’s net sales by product category: (in thousands) Residential Contract 2020 For the years ended June 30, 2019 331,879 $ 35,047 366,926 $ 374,473 $ 69,115 443,588 $ $ $ 2018 413,664 75,516 489,180 ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade- advertising programs, were approximately $3.4 million, $4.3 million and $5.1 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. DESIGN, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. Expenditures for design, research and development costs were approximately $4.0 million, $4.4 million and $3.9 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. INSURANCE – the Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $175,000 per plan year. For workers’ compensation the Company retains the first $450,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The Company records these insurance accruals within “Accrued liabilities – insurance” on the consolidated balance sheets. INCOME TAXES – the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – basic EPS of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted EPS of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method; all options are anti-dilutive when there is a loss. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested shares based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal year were the end of the contingency period. In computing EPS for the fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding: 28 (in thousands) Basic shares Potential common shares: Stock options Long-term incentive plan Diluted shares Anti-dilutive shares 2020 June 30, 2019 7,956 — — — 7,956 634 7,889 — — — 7,889 112 2018 7,848 54 17 71 7,919 40 STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes long- term incentive compensation plan expenses during the three-year performance periods; stock awards are issued following the end of the performance periods and are subject to verification of results and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval. See Note 11 Stock-Based Compensation. SEGMENT REPORTING – the Company operates in one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company’s operations involve the distribution of manufactured and imported furniture for residential and contract markets. The Company’s furniture products are sold primarily throughout the United States and Canada by the Company’s internal sales force and various independent representatives. The Company makes minimal export sales. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. TREASURY STOCK – treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. On June 1, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $6 million share repurchase program through June 9, 2021. As of June 30, 2020, the Company purchased a total of 132 thousand shares at a cost of $1.6 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, on August 21, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $8 million of the Company’s common stock. Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively Topic 326). Topic 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. Topic 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company does not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements. 2. LEASES Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which resulted in a recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities reflect the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. 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 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 29 on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date. The Company does not record leases with a term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 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 two $10.0 million lines 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. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, as part of the Company’s strategic SKU rationalization initiative, the Company exited two showroom space leases. In conjunction with the exit, the Company impaired the ROU assets to their fair value as of June 30, 2020. The total amount of the write-off was $2.9 million and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The components of the Company’s leases reflected on the Company’s consolidated statements of income were as follows: (in thousands) Operating lease expense Variable lease expense Total lease expense $ $ June 30, 2020 5,023 273 5,296 Other information related to leases and future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as were as follows: June 30, 2020 $ 4,060 $ 3,573 1.8 3.5% 4,804 3,263 2,141 2,189 398 — 12,795 780 12,015 $ $ $ (in thousands) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities: Operating leases Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years): Operating leases Weighted-average discount rate: Operating leases Fiscal year (in thousands) Within one year After one year and within two years After two years and within three years After three years and within four years After four years and within five years After five years Total future minimum lease payments Less – Discount Lease liability 30 Prior to the adoption of ASU 842, future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases based on accounting standards applicable as of June 30, 2019 were as follows: Fiscal year (in thousands) 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter Total future minimum lease payments 3.

No impairment charge was recorded in fiscal 2018. The $17.5 million impairment charge in fiscal 2020 primarily resulted from the previously announced exit of the Company’s Vehicle Seating and remaining Hospitality product lines, which resulted in the closure of the Company’s Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities, and is recorded in restructuring expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded these assets as held for sale as of June 30, 2020, see Note 6 Assets held for Sale for more information. The $21.3 million impairment charge in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to reassessment of the Company’s future deployment related to its SAP implementation and is reflected in the ERP impairment of the Company’s consolidated statements of income. 5. RESTRUCTURING On May 15, 2019, the Company announced its plans to exit the Commercial Office and custom-designed Hospitality product lines which represent approximately 7% of its revenue, and subsequently closed its Riverside, California manufacturing facility. On September 26, 2019, the Company closed on the sale of the Riverside property resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $19.6 million after customary closing costs, prorations, and sales commissions and the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $18.9 million and is reflected in the Gain (loss) on disposal assets of the Company’s consolidated statements of income. These changes were initial outcomes driven from customer and product line profitability and footprint utilization analyses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. On June 18, 2019, the Company announced it completed the analysis and planning process and set forth the comprehensive transformation program to be executed over a two-year period, which includes previously announced restructuring activities on May 15, 2019. The transformation 31 program includes activities such as business simplification, process improvement, exiting of non-core businesses, facility closures, and reductions in work force. The Company has substantially completed the portion of the restructuring activities related to the exit of the Commercial Office and custom-designed Hospitality product lines. On April 28, 2020, the Company announced it will exit the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines, and subsequently closed its Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities. The Company expects to complete the restructuring activities related to the exit of the Vehicle Seating and the remainder of the Hospitality product lines during fiscal 2021. As a result of these planned actions, the Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring and related expenses of approximately $56 to $58 million over this two-year timeframe of which $25 to $26 million will be cash and $31 - $32 million non-cash. In addition, the Company plans to list several properties for sale when the footprint optimization is completed. Total cumulative restructuring and related costs incurred as of June 30, 2020 were $55.2 million. The following is a summary of restructuring costs: (in thousands) Inventory impairment One-time employee termination benefits Contract termination costs Fixed asset impairments Other associated costs Total restructuring and related expenses Reported as: Cost of goods sold Operating expenses 2020 For the years ended June 30, 2019 2018 $ $ $ $ 3,241 2,455 (58) 17,482 14,343 37,463 3,241 34,222 $ $ $ $ 7,653 3,775 249 — 6,024 17,701 7,653 10,048 $ $ $ $ — — — — — — — — Other associated costs include legal and professional fees, stock-based compensation expense for retention restricted stock units in connection with the Company’s restructuring plan, on-going facilities and transition costs.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE During the fiscal year 2020, the Company committed to a plan to sell assets located at the Company’s Harrison, Arkansas, Dubuque, Iowa, and Starkville, Mississippi locations as part of the Company’s restructuring plan, see Note 5 Restructuring. The Company had previously included assets at its Huntingburg, Indiana location as assets held for sale for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company has reclassified the Huntingburg, Indiana assets out of assets held for sale, since the Company is currently using the warehouse to store inventory. As of June 30, 2020, the Company reclassified a net book value of $51 thousand for the Huntingburg, Indiana assets to property, plant and equipment. A summary of the assets held for sale is included in the table below as of June 30, 2020. 32 Location (in thousands) Harrison, Arkansas Dubuque, Iowa Starkville, Mississippi Asset Category Building & building improvements Land & land improvements Machinery & equipment Building & building improvements Land & land improvements Machinery & equipment Building & building improvements Land & land improvements Machinery & equipment Cost Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value $ $ 1,382 $ 92 1,391 24,579 1,442 8,376 4,615 694 5,487 48,058 $ (1,354) $ (42) (1,391) (16,308) — (6,691) (4,252) (439) (5,252) (35,729) $ 28 50 — 8,271 1,442 1,685 363 255 235 12,329 The Company has two facilities in Harrison, Arkansas and one of the facility has been sold subsequent to June 30, 2020.

(“Wells”) that provided short-term capital financing up to $10.0 million with interest of LIBOR plus 1%. The credit agreement expired on June 30, 2020 and there were no balance outstanding as June 30, 2020. Letters of credit outstanding at Wells as of June 30, 2020, totaled $1.2 million, of which $1.3 million of the Company’s cash held at Wells is pledged as collateral. The Company had an additional unsecured $10.0 million line of credit with MidwestOne Bank, with interest at prime minus 2%, subject to a floor of 3.75%. The credit agreement expired on June 30, 2020 and there were no balance outstanding as of June 30, 2020. On August 28, 2020, the Company entered into a secured $25.0 million credit facility with Dubuque Bank & Trust Company, with a two year term and interest of 1.50% plus LIBOR, subject to a floor of 3.0%. The credit facility expires on August 28, 2022. The credit facility is secured by essentially all of the Company’s assets, excluding real property and requires the Company maintain compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. No borrowings have been made on the $25.0 million credit facility. 10. INCOME TAXES On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted the current fiscal year 2020. The CARES Act permits net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, (the Company’s fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021) to offset 100% of taxable income and be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company evaluated the impact of the CARES Act during the year ended June 30, 2020 and recorded an income tax receivable of $4.5 million for the benefit of carrying back the fiscal year 2020 NOL and an income tax receivable of $8.2M for the benefit of carryback the fiscal year 2019 NOL. As the Company is carrying the losses back to years beginning before January 1, 2018, the receivables were recorded at the previous 35% federal tax rate rather than the current statutory rate of 21%. 33 The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that they believe the assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. As of June 30, 2020, it was determined the Company has not reached a more likely than not position that the Company will realize all of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets of $8.5 million.

The Company does not expect that there will be any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $0.5 million and $0.4 million respectively. 34 The primary components of deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows: (in thousands) Accounts receivable Inventory Self-insurance Payroll and related Accrued liabilities Property, plant and equipment Investment tax credit Valuation allowance Net operating loss carryover Lease assets Lease liabilities Other Total June 30, 2020 2019 $ $ 484 $ 112 118 968 3,066 1,445 2,164 (8,481) 1,085 (2,498) 3,456 192 2,111 $ 260 40 200 570 2,960 (3,200) 2,340 (1,700) 5,940 — — 154 7,564 At June 30, 2020, certain state tax attribute carryforwards of $3.2 million were available, with $0.6 million of credits expiring between 2021 and 2029, $1.6 million of credits with an indefinite carryforward period, and $1.0 million of state NOL carryforward. Some of the state NOL carryforward will have an indefinite carryforward and some will expire in varying amounts between 2025 and 2040. As of June 30, 2020, it was determined the Company has not reached a more likely than not position the Company will realize any portion of the state attribute carryforwards. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the state attribute carryforward. As of June 30, 2020, it was determined the Company has not reached a more likely than not position that the Company will realize all of its U.S. federal deferred tax assets. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company is able to realize a portion of its U.S. federal deferred tax assets, however, it will not realize the remainder. Therefore, the Company has a recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S federal deferred tax assets for $4.6 million. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, tax years 2016–2019 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. As of June 30, 2020, there is an ongoing federal income tax audit for tax years 2018-2019. 11. 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 1 to 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 years. Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative, and restructuring expenses on the consolidated statements of income. The stock-based compensation expense included in restructuring expense were for retention RSUs in connection with the Company’s restructuring plan. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Total stock-based compensation expense was $4.6 million, $1.4 million and $0.5 million for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has two stock-based compensation plans available for granting awards to employees and directors. (1) Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTICP”) The LTICP provides for RSUs to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance targets set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Company selected fully-diluted earnings per share and total shareholder return as the performance goal for the three year performance periods from July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2020 (“2018-2020”) and July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2021 (“2019-2021”). As of June 30, 2019, both the performance period 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 are no longer attainable. For the July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2022 (“2020-2022”) three year performance period, the Committee selected Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Tax with a defined percentage growth in fiscal year 2021 and 2022. Since the 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 performance periods are no longer attainable, only RSU’s granted for the 2020- 2022 performance period are included in the table below for the Company’s unvested LTICP RSUs during the year ended June 30, 2020: 35 (shares in thousands) Unvested as of June 30, 2019 Granted Forfeited Unvested as of June 30, 2020 Time Based Vest Weighted average fair value per share Shares Performance Based Vest Weighted average Shares fair value per share Total Weighted average fair value per share Shares — $ 49 (5) 44 $ — 16.90 16.90 16.90 — $ 74 (30) 44 $ — 16.77 16.79 16.76 — $ 123 (35) 88 $ — 16.82 16.80 16.83 Total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to the unvested LTICP RSUs was $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years. (2) 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan and 2009 Stock Option Plan The 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan is for key employees, officers and directors and provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance units. No additional stock options can be granted under the 2009 stock option plan. Restricted shares and RSUs A summary of the activity in the Company’s unvested restricted shares and unvested RSUs as June 30, 2020, is presented below: Unvested as of June 30, 2018 Granted Forfeited Unvested as of June 30, 2019 Granted Vested Forfeited Unvested as of June 20, 2020 Shares (in thousands) Weighted average fair value per share — 77 (22) 55 249 (83) (32) 189 $ $ — 31.60 39.92 28.55 14.83 19.05 22.64 15.24 Total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested restricted shares and unvested RSUs was $0.8 million as of June 30, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. Options The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $1.77, $5.85, and $10.87, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values were as follows: Dividend yield Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected life (in years) 2020 For the years ended June 30, 2019 2018 7.3% 34.0% 0.9% 5 3.5% 32.7% 2.7% 5 1.8% 31.1% 1.7% 5 The expected volatility and expected life are determined based on historical data. The interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury risk-free rate in affect at the date of grant for the periods corresponding with the expected term of options. A summary of the activity of the Company’s stock option plans during the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, is presented below: 36 Outstanding at June 30, 2018 Granted Exercised Cancelled Outstanding at June 30, 2019 Granted Exercised Cancelled Outstanding at June 30, 2020 Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price 166 $ 100 (5) (36) 225 $ 60 (2) (60) 223 $ 30.65 26.89 15.50 36.59 28.37 12.56 8.55 30.74 23.70 The following table summarizes information for options outstanding at June 30, 2020: Range of Prices $ 8.55 - 15.14 17.23 - 19.77 20.50 - 27.57 31.06 - 32.80 43.09 - 47.45 $ 8.55 - 47.45 Options Outstanding (in thousands) Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years) Exercise Price 70 21 69 37 26 223 8.2 $ 1.7 5.9 5.9 6.2 6.3 $ 12.54 18.86 23.81 32.20 45.36 23.70 Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options was $0.05 million as of June 30, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company awarded its Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer 79,000 options outside of any Company stock plans. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options awarded outside a plan was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years. 12. BENEFIT AND RETIREMENT PLANS Defined Contribution and Retirement Plans The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement plan, which covers substantially all employees. The Company’s total matching contribution expense was $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $1.7 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and, 2018, respectively. Multi-employer Pension Plans The Company contributes to three multi-employer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: • Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other • • participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be shared by the remaining participating employers. If a participating employer chooses to stop participating in some of its multi-employer plans, the employer may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company’s participation in these plans for the annual period ended June 30, 2020, is outlined in the following table. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2020 and 2019 is for the plan’s year-end at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65 percent and 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. 37 Pension Fund Central States SE and SW Areas Pension Fund Steelworkers Pension Trust Central Pension Fund Pension Protection Act Zone Status June 30, EIN/Pension Plan Number 2020 2019 Rehabilitation Plan Status Company Contributions (in thousands) 2019 2018 2020 Expiration Date Number of Company Employees of Collective Bargaining Agreement in Plan Surcharge Imposed 366044243 236648508 366052390 Red Red Green Green Green Green Implemented No No $ $ 157 $ 279 3 439 $ 154 $ 412 7 573 $ 150 345 6 501 No No No 3/31/2022 Not applicable Not applicable 9 — — With the closure of the Company’s Dubuque, Iowa and Starkville, Mississippi manufacturing facilities, the collective bargaining agreements for the Steelworkers Pension Trust and Central Pension Fund was terminated as of June 30, 2020.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Environmental Matters – In March 2016, the Company received a General Notice Letter for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site (the “Lane Street Site”) located in Elkhart, Indiana from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April 2016, the EPA issued their proposed clean-up plan for groundwater pollution and request for public comment. The Company responded to the request for public comment in May 2016. The EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting a remedy in August 2016 and estimated total costs to remediate of $3.6 million. In July 2017, the EPA issued a Special Notice Letter to the Company demanding that the Company perform the remedy selected and pay for the remediation cost and past response costs of $5.5 million. On October 12, 2017, the Company, after consultation with its insurance carriers, offered an amount, fully reimbursable by insurance coverage, to the EPA to resolve this matter. On November 6, 2017, the settlement offer extended on October 12, 2017 was rejected. In April 2018, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (the “Order”) against the Company. The Order was issued under Section 106(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9606(a). The Order directs the Company to perform remedial design and remedial action for the Lane Street Site. The Order was to be effective May 29, 2018. To ensure completion of the remediation work, the EPA required the Company to secure financial assurance in the initial amount a $3.6 million, which as noted above, is the estimated cost of remedial work. The Company believes that financial assurance is not required because it meets the relevant financial test criteria as provided in the Order. In May 2018, the EPA agreed to suspend enforcement of the Order so that the Company could conduct environmental testing upgradient to its former manufacturing location pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC). On April 24, 2019, the Company signed an AOC with the EPA to conduct the upgradient investigation. The Company negotiated site access to the upgradient property over a period of months in 2019, followed by completion of sampling activities on that property on September 28-29, 2019. Following multiple exchanges from November 2019 through early 2020, the Company submitted a final and supplemental report to the EPA regarding the results of the upgradient investigation on June 17, 2020. On July 13, 2020, the Company further entered in to a Second Amended 38 Tolling Agreement that tolls the statute of limitations for potential claims by the EPA through February 24, 2021. The Company reflected a $3.6 million liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Despite the Company’s position that it did not cause nor contribute to the contamination, the Company continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 in accordance with FASB issued Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410-30). The Company continues to evaluate the Order, its legal options and insurance coverages to assert its defense and recovery of current and future expenses related to this matter. Employment Matters – The lawsuit entitled Juan Hernandez, et al. v. Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (“Hernandez I”), was filed on February 21, 2019 in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside by former employees Juan Hernandez and Richard Diaz (together, “Plaintiffs”). On April 29, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a second similarly titled lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside (“Hernandez II”). Hernandez II is brought by the same attorneys as Hernandez I and features a single cause of action for civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). The Company agreed to resolve both Hernandez I and Hernandez II in principle and on a class-wide basis for $0.5 million. That settlement will serve to resolve the claims of the two Plaintiffs, as well as the approximately 270 remaining members of the class unless an individual class member asks to be excluded. At present, the material terms of the settlement are captured in a Long-Form Settlement Agreement. The Company anticipates that obtaining final approval of the parties’ settlement from the court will take at least six months and potentially longer, such that any settlement payments will not be made until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The settlement amount of $0.5 million, has been accrued in other current liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. 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. 15.
