The Lovesac Company (NASDAQ:LOVE), the beanbag chair maker, posted mixed fiscal first-quarter results that saw an uptick in sales but an earnings miss.

In the quarter, the Stamford, Connecticut-based company opened five new showrooms and closed two, bringing its total to 78 locations in 30 states.
The company’s margin shrank to 51.3% from 54.7% in the prior-year quarter, a differenance it believes can be attributed to tariffs.
“We are very pleased with our strong start to the year as we delivered sales growth of 53.0%, with an increase in marketing spend of only 22.3%,” COE Shawn Nelson said. “From an operational standpoint, our teams continued to execute and we made good progress against all of our strategic initiatives, which are centered around: traditional, digital and social marketing; investing in our infrastructure; growing and improving our showroom footprint; and expanding our shop in shop presence.”
