Summary of Significant Accounti

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business The Company's businesses consist principally of marketing, manufacturing and selling finished carpet, rugs, luxury vinyl flooring and engineered wood flooring in the domestic floorcovering market. Additionally, the Company provides manufacturing support to its carpet businesses through its separate processing operations. Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, Floorcovering. Prior to the sale of the Commercial Business, the Company had two operating segments, Residential and Commercial that was aggregated into one reportable segment. The Company's Floorcovering products have similar economic characteristics and are similar in all of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and (e) the nature of the regulatory environment. Unless specifically noted otherwise, footnote disclosures reflect the results of continuing operations only. The results of discontinued operations are presented i n Note 20. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Dixie Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material. Fiscal Year The Company ends its fiscal year on the last Saturday of December. All references herein to "2023" and "2022" mean the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively. Fiscal year 2023 contained 52 weeks and Fiscal year 2022 contained 53 weeks. Reclassifications The Company reclassified certain amounts in 2022 in Note 9 Long-Term Debt and Credit Arrangements and Note 10 Leases to conform to the 2023 presentation. In 2022, the Company included its failed sales and leaseback transactions in its lease footnote with a note indicating they were included. In 2023, the Company included these transactions in its debt footnote and reclassified amounts in the comparative 2022 year. Discontinued Operations The consolidated financial statements separately report discontinued operations and the results of continuing operations (See Note 20). Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are reported as cash equivalents. Market Risk The Company sells carpet to floorcovering retailers, the interior design, architectural and specifier communities and supplies carpet yarn and carpet dyeing and finishing services to certain manufacturers. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2023 or 2022, nor did the Company make a significant amount of sales to foreign countries during 2023 or 2022. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses The Company grants credit to its customers with defined payment terms, performs ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an anticipated amount for discounts and an allowance for expected credit losses, which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses based on historical experience and periodic evaluation of the financial condition of the Company's customers. Estimated credit losses consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supporting forecasts that affect the collectibility of financial assets. Notes receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an allowance for expected credit losses to cover potential credit losses based on the financial condition of borrowers and collateral held by the Company. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which generally matches current costs of inventory sold with current revenues, for substantially all inventories. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or impaired value. Provisions for depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment have been computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Costs to repair and maintain the Company's equipment and facilities are expensed as incurred. Such costs typically include expenditures to maintain equipment and facilities in good repair and proper working condition. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When the carrying value of the asset exceeds the value of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, prices for similar assets or other valuation techniques. Self-Insured Benefit Programs The Company records liabilities to reflect an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims related to its self-insured medical and dental benefits and workers' compensation. The amounts of such liabilities are based on an analysis of the Company's historical experience for each type of claim. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax benefits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources. In the event that the Company is not able to realize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is provided. The Company recognizes such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made or when tax law changes are enacted. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. Treasury Stock The Company classifies treasury stock as a reduction to Common Stock for the par value of such shares acquired and the difference between the par value and the price paid for each share recorded either entirely to retained earnings or to additional paid-in-capital for periods in which the Company does not have retained earnings. This presentation reflects the repurchased shares as authorized but unissued as prescribed by state statute. Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of floorcovering products and processing services. Revenues are recognized when control of these products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. While the Company pays sales commissions to certain personnel, the Company has not capitalized these costs as costs to obtain a contract as the Company has elected to expense costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. The Company determined revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract with a customer • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract • Determination of the transaction price • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied Performance Obligations For performance obligations related to residential floorcovering products, control transfers at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling prices. Stand-alone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. Variable Consideration The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price, which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends. Advertising Costs The Company engages in promotional and advertising programs. Expenses relating to these programs are charged to results of operations during the period of the related benefits. These arrangements do not require significant estimates of costs. Costs related to cooperative advertising programs are normally recorded as selling and administrative expenses when the Company can reasonably identify the benefit associated with the program and can reasonably estimate that the fair value of the benefit is equal to or greater than its cost. The amount of advertising and promotion expenses included in selling and administrative expenses was not significant for the years 2023 and 2022. Warranties The Company generally provides product warranties related to manufacturing defects and specific performance standards for its products for a period of up to two years. The Company accrues for estimated future assurance warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the product warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company calculates its accrual using the portfolio approach based upon historical experience and known trends (See Note 8). The Company does not provide an additional service-type warranty. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all costs related to manufacturing the Company's products, including purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, freight costs, internal transfer costs or other costs of the Company's distribution network. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all costs, not included in cost of sales, related to the sale and marketing of the Company's products and general administration of the Company's business. Operating Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a financing lease at inception. A lease exists if the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of, and has the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. Lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect any prepayments made or any incentive payments received. Generally, the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate and equipment used in manufacturing. Operating lease expense is recognized in continuing operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term within cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses. Financing lease expense is comprised of both interest expense, which is recognized using the effective interest method, and amortization of the right-of-use assets. These expenses are presented consistently with the presentation of other interest expense and amortization or depreciation of similar assets. In determining lease asset values, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company does not recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to stock-based payments based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Restricted stock grants with pro-rata vesting are expensed using the straight-line method. (Terms of the Company's awards are specified in Note 15). The Company accounts for forfeitures when they actually occur.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which was further amended by additional accounting standards updates issued by the FASB. The new standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses with a new methodology that requires recognition of lifetime expected credit losses when a financial asset is originated or purchased, even if the risk of loss is remote. The new methodology (referred to as the current expected credit losses model, or "CECL") applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023 using a modified retrospective transition approach, with the cumulative impact of $198 recorded as an increase in the accumulated deficit. Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which enhances reporting requirements under Topic 280. The enhanced disclosure requirements include: title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), significant segment expenses provided to the CODM, extending certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarifying single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 in its entirety, and permitting more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain circumstances. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) , which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. The new guidance requires consistent categorization and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as further disaggregation of income taxes paid. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after the effective date. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Contract Balances Other than receivables that represent an unconditional right to consideration, which are presented separately (See Note 4), the Company does not recognize any contract assets which give conditional rights to receive consideration, as the Company does not incur costs to obtain customer contracts that are recoverable. The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance for limited production run orders resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue, which is typically less than a year. The net decrease or increase in the contract liabilities is primarily driven by order activity for limited runs requiring deposits offset by the recognition of revenue and application of deposit on the receivables ledger for such activity during the period. The activity in the advanced deposits for continuing operations are as follows: 2023 2022 Beginning contract liability $ 1,055 $ 1,285 Revenue recognized from contract liabilities included in the beginning balance (881) (1,104) Increases due to cash received, net of amounts recognized in revenue during the period 792 874 Ending contract liability $ 966 $ 1,055

The loan is secured by a first priority security interest on all accounts receivable, cash, and inventory, and provides for borrowing limited by certain percentages of values of the accounts receivable and inventory. The revolving credit facility matures on October 30, 2025. At the Company's election, advances of the revolving credit facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) SOFR (plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment) for 1 or 3 month periods, as defined with a floor of 0.75% or published SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.00%, or (b) the higher of the prime rate plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.00%. The applicable margin is determined based on availability under the revolving credit facility with margins increasing as availability decreases. The applicable margin can be increased by 0.50% if the fixed charge coverage ratio is below a 1.10 to 1.00 ratio. As of December 30, 2023, the applicable margin on the Company's revolving credit facility was 2.50% for SOFR and 1.50% for Prime due to the fixed charge coverage ratio being below 1.10 to 1.00. The Company pays an unused line fee on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed utilization of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.25% per annum. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility was 8.15% at December 30, 2023 and 6.81% for December 31, 2022. The agreement is subject to customary terms and conditions and annual administrative fees with pricing varying on excess availability and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The agreement is also subject to certain compliance, affirmative, and financial covenants. As of the reporting date, the Company is in compliance with all such applicable financial covenants. The Company is only subject to the financial covenants if borrowing availability is less than $8,342, which is equal to 12.5% of the lesser of the total loan availability of $75,000 or total collateral available, and remains until the availability is greater than 12.5% for thirty Term Loans Effective October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a $10,000 principal amount USDA Guaranteed term loan with AmeriState Bank as lender. The term of the loan is 25 years and bears interest at a minimum 5.00% rate or 4.00% above 5-year treasury, to be reset every 5 years at 3.5% above 5-year treasury. The loan is secured by a first mortgage on the Company’s Atmore, Alabama and Roanoke, Alabama facilities. Effective October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a $15,000 principal amount USDA Guaranteed term loan with the Greater Nevada Credit Union as lender. The term of the loan is 10 years and bears interest at a minimum 5.00% rate or 4.00% above 5- year Notes Payable - Buildings On March 16, 2022, the Company entered into a twenty-year $11,000 note payable to refinance an existing note payable on its distribution center in Adairsville, Georgia (the "Property"). The refinanced note payable bore interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.81%. Concurrent with the closing of this note, the Company paid off the existing note secured by the Property in the amount of $5,456 and terminated the existing interest rate swap agreement. On December 14, 2023, the Company sold the Property and completed a successful sale and leaseback of the Property. The Company paid off the existing note in the amount of $10,368. As a result of the debt extinguishment, the Company recognized an expense of $206 for previously deferred financing costs on the note. The note had been secured by the Property and a guarantee of the Company. (See Note 10.) Debt Covenant Compliance and Liquidity Considerations The Company's agreements for its Revolving Credit Facility and its term loans include certain compliance, affirmative, and financial covenants and, as of the reporting date, the Company is in compliance with or has received waivers for all such financial covenants. In the Company's self-assessment of going concern, with reflection on the Company's operating losses in 2023 and 2022, the Company considered its future ability to comply with the financial covenants in its existing debt agreements. Topic 205 requires Company management to perform a going concern self-assessment each annual and interim reporting period. In performing its evaluation, management considered known and reasonably knowable information as of the reporting date. The Company also considered the significant unfavorable impact if it were unable to maintain compliance with financial covenants by its primary lenders. As part of the evaluation, the Company considered the improved gross margins driven by cost reductions implemented under its East Coast Consolidation Plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty of the ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. Notes Payable - Other On January 14, 2019, the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Saraland Industrial, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company sold its Saraland facility, and approximately 17.12 acres of surrounding property located in Saraland, Alabama (the “Property”) to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $11,500. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a twenty-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company will lease back the Property at an annual rental rate of $977, subject to annual rent increases of 1.25%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has two (2) consecutive options to extend the term of the Lease by ten years for each such option. This transaction was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback. The Company recorded a liability for the amounts received, will continue to depreciate the asset, and has imputed an interest rate of 7.07% so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the twenty On September 15, 2023, the Company modified a note payable on equipment which had previously been recorded as a failed sale and leaseback. The note payable bears interest at fixed interest rate of 7.84% and matures on December 1, 2024. The Company recognized a gain of $625 related to an extinguishment of debt on the note payable. The Company's other financing notes have terms up to 1 year, bear interest ranging from 6.34% to 7.84% and are due in monthly installments through their maturity dates. The Company's other notes do not contain any financial covenants. Finance Lease Obligations The Company's financed lease obligations are due in monthly installments through their maturity dates. The Company's finance lease obligations are secured by the specific equipment leased.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the exchange value of an asset or a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value guidance outlines a valuation framework and establishes a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy consists of three levels as follows: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date; Level 2 - Other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other than quoted prices for assets or liabilities and prices that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means; and Level 3 - Measurements using management's best estimate of fair value, where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows: 2023 2022 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 79 $ 79 $ 363 $ 363 Financial liabilities: Long-term debt, including current portion 82,389 79,225 99,044 88,006 Finance leases, including current portion 131 130 254 254 The fair values of the Company's long-term debt and finance leases were estimated using market rates the Company believes would be available for similar types of financial instruments and represent level 2 measurements. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Disclosures [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers a significant portion, or approximately 98% of the Company's associates. This plan includes a mandatory Company match on the first 1% of participants' contributions. The Company matches the next 2% of participants' contributions if the Company meets prescribed earnings levels. The plan also provides for additional Company contributions above the 3% level if the Company attains certain additional performance targets. Matching contribution expense for this 401(k) plan was $652 in 2023 and $254 in 2022. Additionally, the Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers those associates at one facility who are under a collective-bargaining agreement, or approximately 2% of the Company's associates. Under this plan, the Company generally matches participants' contributions, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 2.75% of the participant's earnings. Matching contribution expense for the collective-bargaining 401(k) plan was $11 in 2023 and $67 in 2022. Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan The Company sponsors a non-qualified retirement savings plan that allows eligible associates to defer a specified percentage of their compensation. The obligations for continuing operations owed to participants under this plan were $14,289 at December 30, 2023 and $12,346 at December 31, 2022 and are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Company and the participants have no right, interest or claim in the assets of the Company, except as unsecured general creditors. The Company utilizes a Rabbi Trust to hold, invest and reinvest deferrals and contributions under the plan. Amounts are invested in Company-owned life insurance in the Rabbi Trust and the cash surrender value of the policies for continuing operations was $14,836 at December 30, 2023 and $12,296 at December 31, 2022 and is included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Multi-Employer Pension Plan The Company contributes to a multi-employer pension plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers its union-represented employees. These union-represented employees represented approximately 2% of the Company's total employees. The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company's participation in the multi-employer pension plan for 2023 is provided in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the three digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2023 and 2022 is for the plan's year-end at 2022 and 2021, 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% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates a plan for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

The Company intends to maintain this position until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The Company also has certain assets with indefinite lives for which the basis is different for book and tax. In accordance with ASC 740-10-30-18, the deferred tax liability related to these intangible assets cannot be used to offset deferred tax assets when determining the amount of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets which are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The result is that the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $91 at December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to its full valuation allowance against its deferred tax balances, the Company is only able to recognize refundable credits and a small amount of federal and state taxes in the tax provision (benefit) for 2023 and 2022. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Inventories $ 1,649 $ 2,759 Retirement benefits 322 407 State net operating losses 4,014 4,306 Federal net operating losses 2,840 4,852 State tax credit carryforwards 1,669 1,669 Federal tax credit carryforwards 4,579 4,590 Allowances for bad debts, claims and discounts 1,663 1,680 Other 7,246 5,167 Total deferred tax assets 23,982 25,430 Valuation allowance (20,961) (21,345) Net deferred tax assets 3,021 4,085 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 3,112 4,176 Total deferred tax liabilities 3,112 4,176 Net deferred tax liability $ (91) $ (91) At December 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $24,833 of federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $74,018 of state net operating loss carryforwards available from both continuing and discontinued operations. In addition, $4,579 of federal tax credit carryforwards and $1,669 of state tax credit carryforwards were available to the Company. The federal tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2029 and 2044. The federal net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration date. The state net operating loss carryforwards and the state tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2023 and 2043. A valuation allowance is recorded to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets attributable to continuing operations that are estimated not to be realizable based on the available evidence. At December 30, 2023, the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $91 which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") amended Section 174 to eliminate current year deductibility of research and experimentation ("R&E") expenditures and software development costs (collectively, "R&E expenditures") and instead requires taxpayers to charge their R&E expenditures to a capital account amortized over 5 years. For the 2023 and 2022 tax years, the Company capitalized $4,642 and $4,791 of research and development expenses respectively. Tax Uncertainties The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of December 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The following is a summary of the change in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits: 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of year $ 518 $ 494 Additions based on tax positions taken during a current period 37 24 Balance at end of year $ 555 $ 518 The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in a number of state jurisdictions. The tax years subsequent to 2019 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes. The majority of state jurisdictions remain open for tax years subsequent to 2019. A few state jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years subsequent to 2018.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Common Stock and Earnings (Loss) Per Share	COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Common & Preferred Stock The Company's charter authorizes 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $3 par value per share and 16,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a $3 par value per share. Holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to twenty votes per share on matters that are submitted to Shareholders for approval and to dividends in an amount not greater than dividends declared and paid on Common Stock. Class B Common Stock is restricted as to transferability and may be converted into Common Stock on a one share for one share basis. The Company's charter also authorizes 200,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, $3 par value per share, and 16,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. No shares of Class C Common Stock or Preferred Stock have been issued. Repurchases of Common Stock On August 3, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $3,000 of the Company's Common Stock. A portion of such purchases was under a plan pursuant to Rule 10b-5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act ("Plan"). The Company repurchased 605,749 shares under the Plan at a cost of $642 in 2022. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company's unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share. The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. The accounting guidance requires disclosure of EPS for common stock and unvested share-based payment awards, separately disclosing distributed and undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested share-based payment awards earn dividends equally. All earnings were undistributed in all periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations: 2023 2022 Basic earnings (loss) per share: Loss from continuing operations $ (1,952) $ (33,415) Less: Allocation of earnings to participating securities — — Loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ (1,952) $ (33,415) Basic weighted-average shares outstanding (1) 14,783 15,121 Basic earnings (loss) per share - continuing operations $ (0.13) $ (2.21) Diluted earnings (loss) per share: Loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ (1,952) $ (33,415) Add: Undistributed earnings reallocated to unvested shareholders — — Loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders - basic $ (1,952) $ (33,415) Basic weighted-average shares outstanding (1) 14,783 15,121 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options (2) — — Directors' stock performance units (2) — — Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (1)(2) 14,783 15,121 Diluted earnings (loss) per share - continuing operations $ (0.13) $ (2.21) (1) Includes Common and Class B Common shares, excluding 706 and 944 unvested participating securities, in thousands, for 2023 and 2022, respectively. (2) Shares issuable under stock option plans where the exercise price is greater than the average market price of the Company's Common Stock during the relevant period and directors' stock performance units have been excluded to the extent they are anti-dilutive. Aggregate shares, in thousands, excluded were 549 in 2023 and 130 in 2022.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock Plans and Stock Compensation Expense	STOCK PLANS AND STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued and records such expense in selling and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's stock compensation expense was $687 in 2023 and $766 in 2022. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan On May 4, 2022, the Company's shareholders' approved and adopted the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan" or the "2022 Plan") which provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock for the grant of options, and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards to employees, officers, directors and agents of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan On May 3, 2016, the Company's shareholders' approved and adopted the Company's 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2016 Incentive Compensation Plan") which provided for the issuance of a maximum of 800,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock for the grant of options, and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards to employees, officers, directors, and agents of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. The 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan and the allocation of shares thereunder superseded and replaced The Dixie Group, Inc. Stock Awards Plan, as amended (the "2006 Plan") and the allocation of shares thereunder. Awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan continue to be governed by the terms of that plan and are not affected by its termination. On May 6, 2020, the board approved an amendment of the Company's 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan to increase the original number of shares by an additional 500,000. There are 149,908 shares remaining under the 2016 Incentive Plan due to forfeiture or cancellation of unvested awards outstanding under that plan. Restricted Stock Awards Pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, the Company's practice has been to adopt an annual incentive plan which provides for the grant of restricted stock awards denominated as Long-Term Incentive Stock Awards and Career Share awards. Under the plan adopted for 2023, each executive officer has the opportunity to earn a Primary Long-Term Incentive Award of restricted stock and separately receive an award of restricted stock denominated as “Career Shares.” The number of shares issued, if any, is based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of grant of the award, subject to a $5.00 per share minimum value. Primary Long-Term Incentive Awards vest over three years. For participants over age 60, Career Shares awards fully vest when the participant becomes (i) qualified to retire from the Company and (ii) has retained such shares two years following the grant date. For the participants under age 60, Career Shares vest ratably over five years beginning on the participant's 61st birthday. Restricted stock activity for the two years ended are summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 25, 2021 669,345 $ 3.34 Granted 427,911 2.73 Vested (151,550) 2.86 Forfeited (2,000) 3.02 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 943,706 $ 3.14 Granted 55,000 0.69 Vested (241,211) 2.89 Forfeited (51,220) 2.62 Outstanding at December 30, 2023 706,275 $ 3.07 As of December 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock was $1,079. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 6.9 years. The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $197 and $399 during 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock Performance Units Prior to 2021, the Company's non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $18 in cash and $18 in value of Stock Performance Units (subject to a $5.00 minimum per unit). If market value at the date of the grants was above $5.00 per share; there was no reduction in the number of units issued. However, if the market value at the date of the grants was below $5.00, units would be reduced to reflect the $5.00 per share minimum. Upon retirement, the Company will issue the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of Stock Performance Units held by non-employee directors at that time. As of December 30, 2023, there were 130,320 Stock Performance Units were outstanding under this plan. As of December 30, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to Stock Performance Units. Stock Options Options granted under the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan were exercisable for periods determined at the time the awards are granted. Effective 2009, the Company established a $5.00 minimum price for calculating the number of options to be granted. On May 25, 2023, the Company granted 444,000 options with a market condition to certain key employees of the Company at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.00. The grant-date fair value of these options was $186. These options vest over a two-year period and require the Company's stock to trade at or above $3.00 for five consecutive trading days during the term of the option to meet the market condition. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using a lattice model. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company's stock, using the most recent period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term equal to the expected life of the option at the time of grant. The Company used historical exercise behavior data of similar employee groups to determine the expected lives of options. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the years ended 2023 and 2022. 2023 2022 Risk-free interest rate 3.80 % — % Expected volatility 97.96 % — % Expected dividends — % — % Expected life of options 5 years 0 years Option activity for the two years ended is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Weighted-Average Fair Value of Options Granted During the Year Outstanding at December 25, 2021 141,000 $ 4.36 0.40 $ — Expired (141,000) 4.36 — — Outstanding at December 31, 2022 — — 0.00 — Granted 444,000 1.00 — 0.42 Forfeited (25,000) 1.00 — — Outstanding at December 30, 2023 419,000 $ 1.00 4.40 $ — Options exercisable at December 30, 2023 — $ — — $ — At December 30, 2023, there was no intrinsic value of outstanding stock options and no intrinsic value of exercisable stock options.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company has either sold or discontinued certain operations that are accounted for as "Discontinued Operations" under applicable accounting guidance. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows: 2023 2022 Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations $ (87) $ (29) Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations (49) (346) Commercial business operations (718) (1,289) Loss from discontinued operations, before taxes $ (854) $ (1,664) Income tax benefit (88) — Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (766) $ (1,664) Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations related to the Company's former textile operations. These reserves are administered by a third-party workers' compensation service provider under the supervision of Company personnel. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations primarily represents a change in estimate for each period from unanticipated medical costs associated with the Company's obligations. Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on an undiscounted basis. The Company has an accrual for environmental remediation obligations related to discontinued operations of $2,205 as of December 30, 2023 and $2,205 as of December 31, 2022. The liability established represents the Company's best estimate of possible loss and is the reasonable amount to which there is any meaningful degree of certainty given the periods of estimated remediation and the dollars applicable to such remediation for those periods. The actual timeline to remediate, and thus, the ultimate cost to complete such remediation through these remediation efforts, may differ significantly from the Company's estimates. Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations Commercial business operations In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 13, 2021, the Company sold assets that include certain inventory, certain items of machinery and equipment used exclusively in the Commercial Business, and related intellectual property.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principals of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Dixie Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company ends its fiscal year on the last Saturday of December. All references herein to "2023" and "2022" mean the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively. Fiscal year 2023 contained 52 weeks and Fiscal year 2022 contained 53 weeks.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications The Company reclassified certain amounts in 2022 in Note 9 Long-Term Debt and Credit Arrangements and Note 10 Leases to conform to the 2023 presentation. In 2022, the Company included its failed sales and leaseback transactions in its lease footnote with a note indicating they were included. In 2023, the Company included these transactions in its debt footnote and reclassified amounts in the comparative 2022 year.
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are reported as cash equivalents.
Market Risk	Market Risk
Credit Risk	Allowance for Expected Credit Losses The Company grants credit to its customers with defined payment terms, performs ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an anticipated amount for discounts and an allowance for expected credit losses, which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses based on historical experience and periodic evaluation of the financial condition of the Company's customers. Estimated credit losses consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supporting forecasts that affect the collectibility of financial assets. Notes receivable are carried at their outstanding principal amounts, less an allowance for expected credit losses to cover potential credit losses based on the financial condition of borrowers and collateral held by the Company.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which generally matches current costs of inventory sold with current revenues, for substantially all inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or impaired value. Provisions for depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment have been computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Costs to repair and maintain the Company's equipment and facilities are expensed as incurred. Such costs typically include expenditures to maintain equipment and facilities in good repair and proper working condition.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When the carrying value of the asset exceeds the value of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows, prices for similar assets or other valuation techniques.
Self-Insured Benefit Programs	Self-Insured Benefit Programs The Company records liabilities to reflect an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims related to its self-insured medical and dental benefits and workers' compensation. The amounts of such liabilities are based on an analysis of the Company's historical experience for each type of claim.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax benefits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources. In the event that the Company is not able to realize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is provided. The Company recognizes such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made or when tax law changes are enacted. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.
Treasury Stock	Treasury Stock The Company classifies treasury stock as a reduction to Common Stock for the par value of such shares acquired and the difference between the par value and the price paid for each share recorded either entirely to retained earnings or to additional paid-in-capital for periods in which the Company does not have retained earnings. This presentation reflects the repurchased shares as authorized but unissued as prescribed by state statute.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of floorcovering products and processing services. Revenues are recognized when control of these products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. While the Company pays sales commissions to certain personnel, the Company has not capitalized these costs as costs to obtain a contract as the Company has elected to expense costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. The Company determined revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract with a customer • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract • Determination of the transaction price • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied Performance Obligations For performance obligations related to residential floorcovering products, control transfers at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling prices. Stand-alone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. Variable Consideration The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price, which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs
Warranties	Warranties The Company generally provides product warranties related to manufacturing defects and specific performance standards for its products for a period of up to two years. The Company accrues for estimated future assurance warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the product warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company calculates its accrual using the portfolio approach based upon historical experience and known trends (See Note 8). The Company does not provide an additional service-type warranty.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all costs related to manufacturing the Company's products, including purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, freight costs, internal transfer costs or other costs of the Company's distribution network.
Selling and Administrative Expenses	Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all costs, not included in cost of sales, related to the sale and marketing of the Company's products and general administration of the Company's business.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a financing lease at inception. A lease exists if the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of, and has the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. Lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect any prepayments made or any incentive payments received. Generally, the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to stock-based payments based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. Restricted stock grants with pro-rata vesting are expensed using the straight-line method. (Terms of the Company's awards are specified in Note 15). The Company accounts for forfeitures when they actually occur.
Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted	Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which was further amended by additional accounting standards updates issued by the FASB. The new standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses with a new methodology that requires recognition of lifetime expected credit losses when a financial asset is originated or purchased, even if the risk of loss is remote. The new methodology (referred to as the current expected credit losses model, or "CECL") applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2023 using a modified retrospective transition approach, with the cumulative impact of $198 recorded as an increase in the accumulated deficit. Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which enhances reporting requirements under Topic 280. The enhanced disclosure requirements include: title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), significant segment expenses provided to the CODM, extending certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarifying single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 in its entirety, and permitting more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain circumstances. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) , which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. The new guidance requires consistent categorization and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as further disaggregation of income taxes paid. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This change will apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after the effective date. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
