Business Combinations	3. Business Combinations Read Window Products, LLC (Read) Overview Effective April 1, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (Asset Agreement) to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Read, a source of custom window treatments for the hospitality and commercial industries. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, Read is a turn-key The purchase price for the net assets acquired was $5.7 million, of which $4.5 million was paid at closing on April 1, 2018, $375,000 was paid in May 2018, and $763,000 is to be paid in June 2019, subject to certain conditions as defined in the Asset Agreement. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The following table presents the final allocation of the acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. (dollars in thousands) Fair Value Customer relationships $ 2,247 Goodwill 2,107 Inventory 1,128 Accounts receivable 897 Tradename 683 Property, plant & equipment 379 Other assets 35 Deferred revenue (903 ) Accounts payable (719 ) Accrued expenses (174 ) $ 5,680 We recorded customer relationships at fair market value based on a multi-period excess earnings valuation model. These customer relationships will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their nine-year useful life. We recorded the tradename at fair market value based on the relief from royalty method. This tradename was determined to have an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not being amortized. Equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from three to ten years. The goodwill related to this acquisition is attributable to Read’s reputation with the products and services they provide and the collective experience of management with regards to its operations, customers, and industry. Goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes over the statutory period of fifteen years. The Asset Agreement contains a contingent consideration arrangement that requires us to pay a former shareholder of Read an earn-out pre-established pre-established Other Acquisition costs totaling $339,000 were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our fiscal 2018 Consolidated Statement of Net Income. eLuxury, LLC (eLuxury) Overview Effective June 22, 2018, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (Equity Agreement) in which we acquired an initial 80% ownership interest in eLuxury, a company that offers bedding accessories and home goods directly to consumers. eLuxury’s primary products include a line of mattress pads manufactured at eLuxury’s facility located in Evansville, Indiana. eLuxury also offers handmade platform beds, cotton bed sheets, as well as other bedding items. Their products are available on eLuxury’s own branded website, eLuxury.com We believe this acquisition will provide a new sales channel for eLuxury’s bedding accessories and will expand our opportunity to participate in the e-commerce direct-to-consumer e-commerce, direct-to-consumer e-commerce The estimated consideration given for the initial 80% ownership interest in eLuxury totaled $18.1 million, of which $12.5 million represents the estimated purchase price and $5.6 million represents the fair value for contingent consideration associated with an earn-out Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The following table presents the final allocation of the acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values.

This tradename was determined to have an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not being amortized. Equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from five to ten years. The goodwill related to this acquisition is attributable to eLuxury’s reputation with the products they offer and management’s experience in e-commerce, direct-to-consumer As mentioned above, the Equity Agreement contains a contingent consideration arrangement that requires us to pay the seller, who is also the owner of the noncontrolling interest, an earn-out earn-out Consolidation and Non-Controlling The Equity Agreement contains substantive profit-sharing arrangement provisions in which it explicitly states the ownership interests at the effective date of this business combination and the allocation of net income or loss between the controlling interest (Culp) and the noncontrolling interest. The Equity Agreement states that at the effective date of this acquisition (June 22, 2018), we acquired an 80% ownership interest in eLuxury with the seller retaining a 20% noncontrolling interest. Additionally, the Equity Agreement states that eLuxury’s net income or loss will be allocated at a percentage of 70% and 30% to the company and the noncontrolling interest, respectively. As result of the acquisition of our 80% controlling interest, we included all the accounts of eLuxury in our consolidated financial statements and have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Net income (loss) attributable to the minority interest in eLuxury is excluded from total consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Culp, Inc. common shareholders. Based on the terms of the Equity Agreement, we believe the related risks associated with the ownership interests are aligned and therefore, the total consideration of $18.1 million for the 80% controlling interest provides information for the equity value of eLuxury as a whole, and therefore, is useful in estimating fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest. In order to determine the carrying value of our noncontrolling interest in eLuxury, we applied the Hypothetical-Liquidation-At-Book-Value Other Acquisitions costs totaling $270,000 were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Net Income for the nine-month period ending January 27, 2019. Actual revenue and net loss for the period June 22, 2018 through January 27, 2019 were included in our Consolidated Statement of Net Income for the nine-months ended January 27, 2019, and totaled $11.8 million and $248,000, respectively. Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ending January 27, 2019, and January 28, 2018, have been prepared as if the acquisitions of Read had occurred on May 2, 2016 and eLuxury had occurred on May 1, 2017.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	5. Revenue Revenue from Contracts with Customers On April 30, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 in-process The application of the new standard did not result in a material impact to the opening balance of retained earnings, and therefore no adjustment to retained earnings was recorded. The largest impact of applying the new standard are the required qualitative and quantitative disclosures and the presentation and classification related to estimates of allowances for sales returns. The cumulative effect of the classification changes related to our allowances for sales returns on our April 30, 2018, balance sheet are as follows: (dollars in thousands) Balance at Adjustments Due to Balance at Balance Sheet Assets: Accounts Receivable $ 26,307 $ 1,145 $ 27,452 Other Current Assets 2,870 27 2,897 Liabilities: Accrued Expenses 9,325 1,172 10,497 (1) The adjustments associated with the adoption of the new standard are related to classifying allowances for estimated sales returns as a liability rather than as a contra account to accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet for the current year’s presentation only. As required under the new standard, we also recorded the estimated allowance for sales returns on a gross basis rather than a net basis by separately reflecting a return goods asset within other current assets rather than netting such amounts with the estimated sales returns liability. Currently, we expect the adoption of this new standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis. The effect of adopting ASC 606 on our Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended January 27, 2019, are as follows: (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended Adjustments Due to Balances Without Statements of Net Income Net Sales $ 77,226 $ 13 $ 77,239 Cost of Sales 63,103 13 63,116 (dollars in thousands) Nine Months Ended Adjustments Due to Balances Without Statements of Net Income Net Sales $ 225,705 $ (17 ) $ 225,688 Cost of Sales 187,697 (17 ) 187,680 The effect of adopting ASC 606 on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the period ended January 27, 2019, is as follows: ( dollars in thousands January 27, 2019 Adjustments Due to Balances Without Balance Sheet Assets: Accounts Receivable $ 26,142 $ (1,092) $ 25,050 Other Current Assets 2,954 (17) 2,937 Liabilities: Accrued Expenses $ 9,740 (1,109) $ 8,631 (1) The adjustments associated with the adoption of the new standard are related to classifying allowances for estimated sales returns as a liability rather than as a contra account to accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet for the current year’s presentation only. As required under the new standard, we also recorded the estimated allowance for sales returns on a gross basis rather than a net basis by separately reflecting a return goods asset within other current assets rather than netting such amounts with the estimated sales returns liability. Nature of Performance Obligations Our operations are classified into three business segments: mattress fabrics, upholstery fabrics, and home accessories. The mattress fabrics segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery fabrics segment manufactures, sources, develops, and sells fabrics primarily to residential and commercial furniture manufacturers. Effective April 1, 2018, we acquired Read (see Note 3 for further details), a turn key provider of window treatments that offer sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, measurement, and installation services of their own products for the hospitality and commercial industries. In addition, Read supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters and pillows. The home accessories segment is our new finished products business that manufactures, sources and sells bedding accessories and home goods directly to consumers and businesses through global e-commerce and business-to-business sales channels. Our primary performance obligations include the sale of mattress fabrics, upholstery fabrics, bedding and home accessories products, as well as the performance of customized fabrication and installation services associated with window treatments. Significant Judgments Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We determined that our customer purchase orders represent contracts as defined in the new standard. In addition to purchase orders, we also have supply contracts with certain customers that define standard terms and conditions. Our contracts generally include promises to sell either upholstery fabric, mattress fabric, or bedding accessories and home goods products or promises to provide fabrication and installation services associated with customized window treatments. The transaction price is typically allocated to performance obligations based upon stand-alone selling prices. We did not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as substantially all of any unsatisfied performance obligations as of January 27, 2019, will be satisfied within one year or less. Revenue associated with sales of our products are recognized at the point- in-time point-in-time We evaluated the nature of any guarantees or warranties related to our contracts with customers and determined that any such warranties are assurance-type warranties that cover only compliance with agreed upon specifications, and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations. We have elected to treat both shipping costs and handling costs as fulfillment costs which are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of the promised products and services. The amount of consideration we expect to receive changes due to variable consideration associated with allowances for sales returns, early payment discounts, and volume rebates that we offer to customers. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price is only included in net sales to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Our mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics business segments only allow product returns to the extent that the products or services did not meet the contractually agreed upon specifications at the time of the sale. Customers must receive authorization prior to returning those products. Our home accessories business segment allows product returns for any reason provided the product is returned within the stated time frame, generally 30 days, unless the product was customized in which case a defect must be present in order to return the product. Estimates of allowances for sales returns are based on historical data, current potential product return issues, and known sales returns for which customers have been granted return authorization. Known sales returns for which customers have been granted permission to return products for a refund or credit, continue to be recorded as a contra account receivable. Estimates for potential future sales returns and related customer accommodations are now recorded within accrued expenses as required by the new standard. Under the new standard we record estimates for sales returns on a gross basis rather than a net basis and an estimate for a right of return asset is recorded in other current assets and cost of goods sold. Variable consideration associated with early payment cash discounts are estimated using current payment trends and historical data on a customer-by-customer Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We generally recognize sales commission as expense when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. Sales commissions are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Contract Assets & Liabilities Certain contracts, primarily those for customized fabrication and installation services, require upfront customer deposits that result in a contract liability which is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as deferred revenue. If upfront deposits or prepayment are not required, customers may be granted credit terms which generally range from 15 – 45 days. Such terms are common within the industries in which we are associated and are not considered financing arrangements. There were no contract assets recognized as of January 27, 2019. A summary of the activity of deferred revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended January 27, 2019 follows: ( dollars in thousands Three Months Ended Balance as of October 28, 2018 $ 649 Revenue recognized on contract liabilities during the period (637) Payments received for services not yet rendered during the period 480 Balance as of January 27, 2019 $ 492 ( dollars in thousands Nine Months Ended Balance as of April 29, 2018 $ 809 Revenue recognized on contract liabilities during the period (2,171) Payments received for services not yet rendered during the period 1,854 Balance as of January 27, 2019 $ 492 Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by segment, timing of revenue recognition, and product sales versus services rendered for the three-month period ending January 27, 2019: Net Sales (dollars in thousands) Mattress Upholstery Home Total Products transferred at a point in time $ 35,732 $ 34,730 $ 4,390 $ 74,852 Services transferred over time — 2,374 — 2,374 Total Net Sales $ 35,732 $ 37,104 $ 4,390 $ 77,226 The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by segment, timing of revenue recognition, and product sales versus services rendered for the nine-month period ending January 27, 2019: Net Sales (dollars in thousands) Mattress Upholstery Home Total Products transferred at a point in time $ 107,335 $ 98,610 $ 11,759 $ 217,704 Services transferred over time — 8,001 — 8,001 Total Net Sales $ 107,335 $ 106,611 $ 11,759 $ 225,705

Lines of Credit	13. Lines of Credit Revolving Credit Agreement – United States At April 29, 2018, our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) provided for a revolving loan commitment of $30 million. Effective August 13, 2018, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to our Credit Agreement which reduced the amount of our line of credit from $30 million to $25 million, reduced the amount of the Unencumbered Liquid Assets maintenance covenant from $20 million to $15 million, and set the expiration date to August 15, 2020. Additionally, this amendment reduced the limit of outstanding letters of credit to $1.0 million, which includes the $250,000 workers compensation letter of credit noted below. Interest was charged at a rate (applicable interest rate of 3.95%, 3.02%, and 3.36% at January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, respectively) as a variable spread over LIBOR based on our ratio of debt to EBITDA. Outstanding borrowings are secured by a pledge of 65% of the common stock of Culp International Holdings Ltd. (our subsidiary located in the Cayman Islands), as required by the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, respectively. At January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, there were $250,000 in outstanding letters of credit (all of which related to workers compensation) provided by the Credit Agreement. Effective August 1, 2016, we entered into a Third Amendment to our Credit Agreement which allowed us to issue letters of credit not to exceed $7.5 million. On August 3, 2016, we issued a $5.0 million letter of credit, in addition to the $250,000 letter of credit noted above, for the construction of a new building associated with our mattress fabrics segment (see Note 22 for further details). The terms of this $5.0 million letter credit expired on May 15, 2018. Revolving Credit Agreement – China At January 27, 2019, we had an unsecured credit agreement associated with our operations in China that provides for a line of credit up to 40 million RMB ($6.0 million USD at January 27, 2019) and was set to expire on March 2, 2019. This agreement has an interest rate determined by the Chinese government and there were no outstanding borrowings as of January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018. On January 31, 2019, we renewed this unsecured credit agreement to extend the expiration date to January 31, 2020. Overall Our loan agreements require, among other things, that we maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of January 27, 2019, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either level 1 or level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use. Recurring Basis The following table presents information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair value measurements at January 27, 2019 using: Quoted prices Significant other Significant (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Premier Money Market Fund $ 6,433 N/A N/A $ 6,433 Growth Allocation Fund 184 N/A N/A 184 Moderate Allocation Fund 119 N/A N/A 119 Other 98 N/A N/A 98 Fair value measurements at January 28, 2018 using: Quoted prices Significant other Significant (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Premier Money Market Fund $ 6,287 N/A N/A $ 6,287 Low Duration Bond Fund 1,085 N/A N/A 1,085 Intermediate Term Bond Fund 759 N/A N/A 759 Strategic Income Fund 628 N/A N/A 628 Large Blend Fund 431 N/A N/A 431 Growth Allocation Fund 171 N/A N/A 171 Moderate Allocation Fund 114 N/A N/A 114 Other 173 N/A N/A 173 Fair value measurements at April 29, 2018 using: Quoted prices Significant other Significant (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Premier Money Market Fund $ 6,492 N/A N/A $ 6,492 Low Duration Bond Fund 1,085 N/A N/A 1,085 Intermediate Term Bond Fund 747 N/A N/A 747 Strategic Income Fund 619 N/A N/A 619 Large Blend Fund 402 N/A N/A 402 Growth Allocation Fund 169 N/A N/A 169 Moderate Allocation Fund 113 N/A N/A 113 Other 150 N/A N/A 150 Liabilities: EURO Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedge N/A $ 55 N/A $ 55 Our EURO foreign exchange contract was recorded at a fair value provided by our bank and is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Most derivative contracts are not listed on an exchange and require the use of valuation models. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, we attempted to maximize the use of observable inputs used in the valuation models used to determine the fair value of this contract. Derivative contracts valued based on valuation models with significant unobservable inputs and that are not actively traded, are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter based on various factors and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare. Short-Term Investments – Available for Sale There were no short-term investments classified as available for sale held at January 27, 2019. At January 28, 2018 and April 29, 2018, our short-term investments classified as available for sale totaled $2.5 million and consisted of short-term bond funds. Since these short-term bond funds were classified as available for sale, these investments were recorded at their fair market value and their unrealized gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Our short-term bond investments had an accumulated unrealized loss totaling $57,000 and $91,000 at January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, respectively. At January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, the fair value of our short-term bond funds approximated its cost basis. Short-Term and Long-Term Investments—Held-To-Maturity Our investments classified as held-to-maturity held-to-maturity held-to-maturity At January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, our held-to-maturity held-to-maturity Our U.S. corporate bonds are classified as level 2 as they are traded over the counter within a broker network and not on an active market. The fair value of our U.S. corporate bonds is determined based on a published source that provides an average bid price. The average bid price is based on various broker prices that are determined based on market conditions, interest rates, and the rating of the respective U.S. corporate bond. Long-Term Investments—Rabbi Trust We have a Rabbi Trust to set aside funds for participants of our deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) which enables the participants to credit their contributions to various investment options of the Plan. The investments associated with the Rabbi Trust consist of a money market fund and various mutual funds that are classified as available for sale. These long-term investments are recorded at their fair values of $6.8 million, $7.2 million, and $7.3 million at January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of our long-term investments associated with our Rabbi Trust approximates its cost basis. Other The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Nonrecurring Basis At January 27, 2019, we had no assets that were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis other than the assets acquired from eLuxury (see note 3) that were acquired at fair value: Fair value measurements at January 27, 2019 using: Quoted prices in Significant other Significant (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Goodwill N/A N/A $ 13,653 $ 13,653 Tradename N/A N/A 6,549 6,549 Equipment N/A N/A 2,179 2,179 Inventory N/A N/A 1,804 1,804 Liabilities: Contingent Consideration – Earn-Out N/A N/A $ 5,781 $ 5,781 The tradename was recorded at fair market value using the royalty from relief method that used significant unobservable inputs and were classified as level 3.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	17. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share uses the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation calculated using the treasury stock method. Weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share follows: Three months ended (amounts in thousands) January 27, 2019 January 28, 2018 Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 12,438 12,436 Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation 27 — Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted 12,465 12,436 At January 27, 2019 and April 29, 2018, there were no options to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding. Therefore, options to purchase shares of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income for the three-months ending January 27, 2019. Stock-based compensation awards totaling 160,743 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three-months ending January 28, 2018, as we incurred a net loss for that reporting period. Nine months ended (amounts in thousands) January 27, 2019 January 28, 2018 Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 12,488 12,425 Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation 105 201 Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted 12,593 12,626 At January 27, 2019 and April 29, 2018, there were no options to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding. Therefore, options to purchase shares of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income for the nine-months ending January 27, 2019. All options to purchase shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted net income for the nine-months ending January 28, 2018, as the exercise price of the options was less than the average market price of the common shares.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	19. Income Taxes Effective Income Tax Rate We recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million, or 32.5% of income before income taxes, for the nine- month period ended January 27, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $12.0 million or 58.6% of income before income taxes, for the nine-month period ended January 28, 2018. Our effective income tax rates for these nine-month periods, were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be affected over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries located in China and Canada versus annual projections, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. The following schedule summarizes the factors that contributed to the difference between income tax expense at the federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the nine months of each fiscal year: 2019 2018 Federal income tax rate 21.0 % 30.4 % Tax effects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (5.7 ) 28.4 Foreign income tax rate differential 10.1 3.9 Global Intangible Low Taxed Income Tax (GILTI) 2.6 — Tax effects of Chinese foreign exchange gains (losses) 1.4 (2.9 ) Excess income tax deficiency (benefits) related to stock-based compensation 0.7 (2.3 ) Other 2.4 1.1 32.5 % 58.6 % 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act On December 22, 2017 (the Enactment Date), the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1) (the Tax Act) was signed into law. The key effects of the Tax Act on our financial statements during fiscal 2019 will include the reduction of our U.S federal statutory income tax rate to 21% compared with the blended statutory income tax rate of 30.4% during fiscal 2018 and the creation of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income Tax (GILTI). In order to calculate GILTI on an interim basis, estimates were required based on (i) projections and estimates associated with U.S. and foreign pre-tax During our third quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed our assessment of the effects of the Tax Act in connection with our fiscal 2018 U.S. Federal income tax return filing. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, we recorded our final provisional adjustments within the one-year re-measurement one-time During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a provisional income tax charge of $5.9 million, which represented a discrete event for which the full income tax effects were recorded during the three-month and nine-month periods ending January 28, 2018. The $5.9 million provisional income tax charge represents $1.1 million for the re-measurement one-time Deferred Income Taxes Valuation Allowance In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we evaluate our deferred income taxes to determine if a valuation allowance is required. ASC Topic 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction Based on our assessments at January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, valuation allowances against our deferred income taxes pertain to the following jurisdictions: (dollars in thousands) January 27, January 28, April 29, U.S. foreign income tax credits $ 4,550 2,277 4,550 U.S. state loss carryforwards and credits 903 495 578 Polish loss carryforwards — 73 76 $ 5,453 2,845 5,204 Undistributed Earnings In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we assess whether the undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely or eventually distributed to our U.S. parent company. ASC Topic 740 requires that a deferred tax liability should be recorded for undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that will not be reinvested indefinitely. Based on our assessment as of January 27, 2019, it is our intention not to permanently invest our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Also, we assess the recognition of U.S. foreign income tax credits associated with foreign withholding and income tax payments and whether it is more-likely-than-not more-likely-than-not For fiscal 2019 and beyond, the Tax Act allows a U.S. corporation a 100% dividend received deduction for earnings and profits received from a 10% owned foreign corporation. Therefore, a deferred tax liability will be required for withholding taxes that are incurred by our foreign subsidiaries at the time earnings and profits are distributed. As a result, at January 27, 2019, January 28, 2018, and April 29, 2018, we recorded a deferred income tax liability of $3.4 million, $3.1 million, and $4.3 million for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and profits from our foreign subsidiaries. Uncertainty In Income Taxes In accordance with ASC Topic 740, an unrecognized income tax benefit for an uncertain income tax position can be recognized in the first interim period if the more-likely-than-not At January 27, 2019, we had a $880,000 total gross unrecognized income tax benefit, of which $500,000 and $380,000 were classified as income taxes payable- long-term and non-current non-current At January 27, 2019, our $880,000 total gross unrecognized income tax benefit included $500,000 that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. At January 28, 2018, our $12.4 million total gross unrecognized income tax benefit, included $9.9 million that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. At April 29, 2018, our $844,000 total gross unrecognized income tax benefit included $464,000 that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. Our gross unrecognized income tax benefit of $880,000, relates to income tax positions for which significant change is currently not expected within the next year. This amount primarily relates to double taxation under applicable income tax treaties with foreign tax jurisdictions.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	20. Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plan Description On September 16, 2015, our shareholders approved an equity incentive plan entitled the Culp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan updated and replaced our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) as the vehicle for granting new equity-based awards substantially similar to those authorized under the 2007 Plan. In general, the 2015 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other equity and cash related awards as determined by our Compensation Committee. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, with certain sub-limits At January 27, 2019, there were 969,406 shares available for future equity-based grants under our 2015 plan. Performance Based Restricted Stock Units Executive Management (NEOs) Fiscal 2019 and 2018 On August 2, 2018 (Fiscal 2019), and July 13, 2017 (Fiscal 2018), we granted performance-based restricted stock units to NEOs which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements. The number of shares of common stock that are earned based on the performance targets that have been achieved will be adjusted based on a market-based total shareholder return component as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements. Compensation cost was measured based at the fair market value on the date of grant (August 2, 2018 and July 13, 2017). The fair market value per share was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock for the performance-based component. The following table provides assumptions used to determine the fair market value of the market-based shareholder return component using the Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grants noted above: Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2018 Closing price of our common stock $ 24.35 $ 32.50 Expected volatility of our common stock 33.5% 31.0% Expected volatility of peer companies 16.0% 16.5% Risk-free interest rate 2.74% 1.56% Dividend yield 1.35% 1.66% Correlation coefficient of peer companies 0.47 0.46 Fiscal 2017 On July 14, 2016 we granted performance-based restricted stock units to NEOs which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets were met over a three-fiscal year performance period as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements. These awards were measured based on the fair market value (closing price of our common stock) on the date of grant. No market-based total shareholder return component was included in this award. Key Employees and a Non-Employee Fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 We granted performance-based restricted stock units which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements. Our performance based restricted stock units granted to key employees were measured based on the fair market value (the closing price of our common stock) on the date of grant.

[2]	The adjustments associated with the adoption of the new standard are related to classifying allowances for estimated sales returns as a liability rather than as a contra account to accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet for the current year's presentation only. As required under the new standard, we also recorded the estimated allowance for sales returns on a gross basis rather than a net basis by separately reflecting a return goods asset within other current assets rather than netting such amounts with the estimated sales returns liability.
