The business had revenue of $138.20 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $136.66 million. Lovesac had a net margin of 0.58% and a return on equity of 2.02%. Lovesac’s revenue for the quarter was down .1% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter last year, the business posted ($0.73) earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Lovesac’s conference call:

• Lovesac reported first-quarter net sales of $138.2 million, essentially flat year over year, and said results were in line with guidance despite a still-weak furniture market.
• The company highlighted strength in higher-value products and channels, with e-commerce up 7.1% and transactions above $6,000 growing mid-double digits, while Snug continued to expand the brand with 80% new customers.
• Lovesac said its marketing overhaul is improving efficiency, including the “Here for Life” campaign and more digital-first, AI-ready discovery efforts, which helped drive higher search interest and better return on ad spend.
• Gross margin fell to 52.1% as transportation and tariff costs rose, though the company said price increases and cost savings partially offset the pressure; it has already received $3.4 million of tariff refunds and expects more may follow, but timing remains uncertain.
• Management reiterated confidence in the long-term growth plan, including domestic manufacturing of Sactional seats starting this summer and the launch of a larger-format sectional plus a new room category in fiscal 2028, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with $57 million in cash and no debt.
