Flexsteel Industries Inc. Tuesday (Oct. 25) reported a slight rise in earnings for the first quarter, as improved margins offset a 6.5% decline in sales.

Sales for the quarter slipped 6.5% to $81.5 million from $87.2 million last year, when the company benefited from a longer than normal lag time on orders.
