Furniture maker Natuzzi’s sales fell from €78.3 million to €60 million.
Natuzzi reported 2Q 2026 sales of €60M, down from €78.3M in 2Q 2025, with a gross margin of 29.6% and an operating loss of €10M. The company is undergoing a restructuring plan, including asset disposals and store network optimization, while facing potential NYSE delisting. The majority shareholder provided €3M in financial support, and Aldo Uva was appointed CEO. Management expects the restructuring to strengthen margins and secure financial resources for long-term growth.
