Insights

La-Z-Boy's Q1 FY2025 results show resilience in a challenging market. The 3% increase in consolidated sales to $496 million and doubling of operating cash flow to $52 million are positive indicators. However, the decrease in GAAP operating margin from 7.2% to 6.5% suggests some pressure on profitability.

The Wholesale segment's 5% sales growth is encouraging, driven by higher external customer volume. The Retail segment faces headwinds with a 3% decrease in written same-store sales, reflecting broader industry challenges. Joybird's 9% increase in written sales shows potential in the e-commerce space.

The company's strong balance sheet with $342 million in cash and no external debt provides financial flexibility. The continued investment in the Century Vision strategy, despite near-term pressures, demonstrates a long-term focus on growth and market share gains.

La-Z-Boy's performance reflects broader trends in the furniture industry. The company's outperformance of industry benchmarks in May and June suggests effective strategies in a challenging market. However, the softening of trends towards the end of the quarter and industry-wide 3% decline in written same-store sales indicate persistent consumer spending headwinds.

The company's focus on improving conversion rates and design average ticket sales in its Retail segment shows adaptability. The 7% compound annual sales growth in Retail over the past five years is impressive, but current traffic trends pose challenges.

La-Z-Boy's strategy of expanding through new stores and acquisitions in a tough market could position it well for future growth. However, the success of this approach will depend on the timing and strength of industry recovery, which remains uncertain given current macroeconomic conditions.

Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Highlights:

  • Consolidated delivered sales of $496 million
    • Up 3% versus prior year
  • Wholesale segment sales increased 5% on growth to external customers
  • Delivered sales and Non-GAAP(1) operating margin in line with guidance
  • GAAP diluted EPS of $0.61
    • Non-GAAP(1) diluted EPS of $0.62
  • Generated $52 million in operating cash flow for the quarter

MONROE, Mich., Aug. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La-Z-Boy Incorporated (NYSE: LZB), a global leader in the retail and manufacture of residential furniture, today reported first quarter results for the period ended July 27, 2024. For the quarter, sales totaled $496 million, an increase of 3% against the prior year comparable period. Operating margin was 6.5% for the quarter on a GAAP basis and 6.6% on a Non-GAAP(1) basis. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.61 on a GAAP basis and $0.62 on a Non-GAAP(1) basis. Operating cash flow was $52 million, twice as high as last year's first quarter.

Written sales remained steady, with first quarter total written sales for the Retail segment (company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries®) up 4% versus a year ago, and written same-store sales down 3% versus a year ago. Written same-store sales for the entire La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network also decreased 3% versus the year ago period. Trends were strongest around the Memorial Day holiday and softened towards the end of the quarter. Written sales results outperformed the broader furniture and home furnishings industry for May and June, which was also down 3% for the quarter. Across the industry, the consumer continues to be challenged and to pull back spending outside of key holidays.

Melinda D. Whittington, President and Chief Executive Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, “We continue to deliver positive results amidst a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. We were pleased to return to delivered sales growth in the quarter, led by our Wholesale segment, which benefited from higher delivered volume supported by Century Vision's channel expansion strategy. While the Retail business currently continues to wrestle with depressed traffic trends experienced across our industry, we again delivered strong execution. Conversion rates and design average ticket sales both improved again year-over-year and our in-store teams remain laser focused on providing the highest level of customer service and showcasing our industry leading product assortment. Over the past five years, our Retail business has grown at an impressive 7% compound annual sales growth. Our high quality offering of comfortable, custom furniture with quick delivery is resonating in a challenging marketplace. And while we expect industry fundamentals to be volatile for the foreseeable future, we remain confident in our ability to outperform the market and gain share longer term.”

Whittington added, “We remain committed to investing in our business for the long term, as we navigate the near-term headwinds in the furniture industry. As an iconic brand with a storied near 100-year history, we have the proven ability to adapt, with a strong balance sheet to support our strategy. Near-term market disruptions are likely to continue pressuring the fiscal year, but we are well positioned to disproportionately benefit when industry tailwinds re-emerge. With our Century Vision strategy, we are actively investing in growing our core Retail segment through strengthening in-store execution, opening new stores, and acquiring independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores when we are able, as we believe our vertically integrated model offers superior returns over the longer term. This will uniquely position us to continue to outperform the industry and grow share.”

Second Quarter Outlook:
Bob Lucian, Chief Financial Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, “The overall macroeconomic and consumer spending environment remains challenging. Despite this, we delivered on our guidance and saw modest sales growth in line with our outlook. Looking forward, our industry will remain under pressure in the near term as the market contends with still high interest rates, muted housing turnover, and an uncertain economic and geopolitical environment. Considering these factors, we expect sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to improve modestly versus the first quarter supported by seasonality. Further, we continue to invest in our Century Vision strategy and build the business for the long term. As such, we expect fiscal second quarter sales to be in the range of $495-515 million and Non-GAAP operating margin(2) to be in the range of 6-7%.”

Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Results versus Fiscal 2024 First Quarter:

  • Consolidated sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 increased 3% to $496 million versus last year, primarily driven by higher delivered volume within our Wholesale segment
  • Consolidated GAAP operating margin was 6.5% versus 7.2%
    • Consolidated Non-GAAP(1) operating margin decreased 40 basis points to 6.6% versus 7.0%, due to reduced fixed cost leverage in Retail, partially offset by gross margin expansion
  • GAAP diluted EPS decreased to $0.61 from $0.63 and Non-GAAP(1) diluted EPS totaled $0.62 versus $0.62 last year in the comparable period

Retail Segment:

  • Sales:
    • Written sales for the Retail segment (company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores) increased 4% with growth from acquired and new stores, more than offsetting lower same-store sales compared to the year ago period
      • Written same-store sales decreased 3%, driven by lower traffic and softer industry-wide demand, partially offset by strong execution that drove higher conversion rates
    • Delivered sales decreased 3% to $202 million versus last year, as the prior year benefited from the delivery of residual backlog related to component shortages
  • Operating Margin:
    • GAAP operating margin and GAAP operating income was 10.2% and $21 million, versus 14.1% and $29 million, respectively
      • Non-GAAP(1) operating margin and Non-GAAP(1) operating income were 10.3% and $21 million, down 380 basis points and 29%, respectively, driven by fixed cost deleverage on lower delivered sales and fixed cost increases supporting our long-term strategy of growing our Retail business through new and acquired stores

Wholesale Segment:

  • Sales:
    • Sales increased 5% to $351 million, primarily due to higher delivered volume to our external customers, partially offset by lower intercompany sales to our Retail segment and lowered delivered volume in our casegoods business
  • Operating Margin:
    • GAAP operating margin was 6.8% versus 7.0%
      • Non-GAAP(1) operating margin increased to 6.9%, up 10 basis points from the year ago period driven by gross margin expansion primarily from lower input costs (reduced commodity prices, improved sourcing, and favorable duty expense) partially offset by channel mix related to higher non-La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® delivered sales

Corporate & Other:

  • Joybird written sales increased 9% and delivered sales decreased 3% to $35 million
  • Joybird operating performance again made meaningful progress against the prior comparable period as the brand focuses on balancing sales growth and profitability

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow, Fiscal 2025 First Quarter:

  • Ended the quarter with $342 million in cash(3) and no external debt
  • Generated $52 million in cash from operating activities versus $26 million in last year's first quarter
  • Invested $16 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® (new stores and remodels), and upgrades at our manufacturing facilities and market showrooms

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning expectations, projections or trends relating to our results of operations, financial results, financial condition, strategic initiatives and plans, expenses, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, borrowing capacity, investments, future economic performance, and our business and industry.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on certain assumptions and currently available information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also affect our business operations and financial results. Our actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors identified in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release also includes Non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures when assessing our ongoing performance. This press release contains references to Non-GAAP operating income (on a consolidated basis and by segment), Non-GAAP operating margin (on a consolidated basis and by segment), and Non-GAAP net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated per diluted share, Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (and components thereof, including Non-GAAP income before income taxes and Non-GAAP net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated), each of which may exclude, as applicable, supply chain optimization charges and purchase accounting charges. The supply chain optimization charges include a lease termination gain and costs related to the relocation of equipment and inventory resulting from the closure of our Torreón manufacturing facility (previously disclosed as Mexico optimization). The purchase accounting charges include the amortization of intangible assets, incremental expense upon the sale of inventory acquired at fair value, and fair value adjustments of future cash payments recorded as interest expense. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for La-Z-Boy Incorporated’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of such Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables.

Management believes that presenting certain Non-GAAP financial measures will help investors understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management excludes purchase accounting charges because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions consummated and the success with which we operate the businesses acquired. While the company has a history of acquisition activity, it does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the impact of purchase accounting charges is unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Similarly, supply chain optimization charges are dependent on the timing, size, number and nature of the operations being closed, consolidated or centralized, and the charges may not be incurred on a predictable cycle. Management believes that exclusion of these items facilitates more consistent comparisons of the company’s operating results over time. Where applicable, the accompanying “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables present the excluded items net of tax calculated using the effective tax rate from operations for the period in which the adjustment is presented.
