Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Earnings Releases And Operating Results.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLF) today announced the Company’s financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2025.

Highlights from third quarter 2025:

  • Revenues were $17.3 million, down 0.5% from 2024
  • Generated operating loss of $0.7 million versus $0.3 million in 2024
  • Net loss of $1.4 million versus $0.1 million in 2024
  • Gross margins of 58.9%, up from 57.8% in 2024
  • Operating expenses $10.8 million, up 5.4% from 2024
  • Adjusted EBITDA* (from operations) of ($0.4) million
  • Ended quarter with $12.0 million of cash and cash equivalents

Tandy Leather Factory’s third quarter sales were $17.3 million in 2025, down from $17.4 million in 2024. Third quarter 2025 gross profit was $10.2 million, up from $10.0 million in 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the Company held $12.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, up from $10.0 million a year earlier; this increase reflects the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters in January 2025 (the “HQ Sale”), offset by the payment of a special dividend to stockholders in the first quarter of approximately $12.7 million, payment of income taxes related to the HQ Sale, and other expenses relating to the Company moving its headquarters in the third quarter. The Company held inventory of $35.9 million, up from $35.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company had basic and diluted net losses in the quarter of $0.17 per share, versus $0.02 basic and diluted net losses per share in the prior year.

Johan Hedberg, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “The move of our headquarters and distribution center during the third quarter was a success, and we’re happy to now have that behind us. Despite experiencing some anticipated disruptions from the move, we were pleased to generate sales that were in line with the prior year, and our year-to-date sales remain ahead of 2024. Third quarter sales from our retail stores were actually ahead of last year’s, as the move more directly impacted shipments of online orders from our distribution center due to a limited on-line assortment during the move. With our operations now running again from our new location, we believe we are well positioned for a solid fourth quarter in both our retail and online channels.”

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes helps investors to compare its operating performance to that of other companies. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s net income to Adjusted EBITDA (in millions):

  Quarter ended
September 30, 2025
Net loss ($1.4)
Adjustment to net loss(1) 0.8 
Adjusted net loss(2) ($0.6)
Add back:  
Depreciation and amortization 0.2 
Interest income (0.1)
Income tax provision – 
Stock-based compensation 0.1 
Adjusted EBITDA (from operations) ($0.4)

(1) This adjustment to net income removes the net proceeds from the sale of our corporate headquarters, related one-time relocation expenses, and tax related tax provision due to the sale.
(2) Adjusted net income represents income from operations plus interest income.
