FY23 Q3 Results vs. FY22 Q3:

Consolidated Results:

• Consolidated sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased to $573 million, with the realization of pricing and surcharge actions and the positive effects of a favorable product and channel mix offsetting lower delivered unit volume
• Consolidated GAAP operating margin was 7.5% versus 6.9%
• Consolidated non-GAAP⁽¹⁾ operating margin was 9.3% versus 7.0%
  • Improved operating margin was driven primarily by strong Retail performance
• GAAP diluted EPS increased 14% to $0.74 from $0.65; non-GAAP⁽¹⁾ diluted EPS increased 40% to $0.91 from $0.65
  

Retail Segment:

• Sales:
  • Delivered sales increased 27% to $251 million; delivered same-store sales increased 23%, as we improved service to consumers and moved closer to pre-pandemic lead times
  • Total written sales for the Retail segment (company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries^® stores) increased 8%
    • Written same-store sales for the Retail segment increased 3% and were 12% higher than pre-pandemic levels (FY20 Q3)
• Operating Performance:
  • Non-GAAP⁽¹⁾ operating margin and operating income increased to all-time records of 17.6% and $44 million, respectively, up 540 basis points and 83%, respectively, primarily driven by higher delivered sales relative to selling expenses and fixed costs

Wholesale Segment:

• Sales:
  • Decreased 4% to $408 million driven primarily by a decline in delivered volume, partially offset by pricing and favorable channel and product mix
• Operating Margin:
  • Non-GAAP⁽¹⁾ operating margin improved to 6.6%; pricing and surcharge actions along with declining freight costs were mostly offset by an increase in marketing spend to pre-pandemic levels

Corporate & Other:

• Joybird delivered sales decreased 35% to $29 million, and written sales declined 21%, reflecting both slowing e-commerce trends and a reduction in marketing spend to align with consumer behavior and focus on efficient return on advertising spending
• Joybird posted a loss for the period, primarily reflecting lower delivered volume due to the written sales decline in FY23 Q2

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow as of FY23 Q3

• Ended the quarter with $284 million in cash⁽²⁾ and no external debt
• Year to date, generated $127 million in cash from operating activities, including $96 million in the third quarter, versus $45 million in the prior-year nine-month period and $30 million in last year's third quarter
• Year to date, spent $57 million on capital expenditures, primarily related to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries^® (new stores and remodels) and Joybird store projects, and upgrades at our manufacturing and distribution facilities
• Year to date, returned $27 million to shareholders, including $22 million in dividends and $5 million in share repurchases

Dividend

On February 21, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1815 per share on the common stock of the company. The dividend will be paid on March 15, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 7, 2023.

Outlook

Bob Lucian, Chief Financial Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, "As we have essentially worked down our backlog to pre-pandemic levels, we anticipate that Q4 delivered sales will be at levels consistent with what we write, consistent with historical seasonality, and almost 20% above pre-pandemic. We estimate delivered sales for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter to be in a range of $525 million to $545 million, and consolidated non-GAAP operating margin⁽³⁾ to be in a range of 7% to 9%."

Last year's fourth quarter included 14 weeks versus this year's fourth quarter which will include a normal 13 weeks. Last year's extra week contributed approximately $49 million in sales based on the average weekly sales for the quarter.

^{_____
(1) Non-GAAP amounts for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 exclude:}

• ^{a $10.1 million pre-tax, or $0.17 per diluted share charge related to the closure of the Torreón, MX facility, primarily reflecting the impairment of various assets}
• ^{purchase accounting charges related to acquisitions completed in prior periods totaling $0.3 million pre-tax, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, with $0.3 million included in operating income and a de minimis amount included in interest expense}

^{Non-GAAP amounts for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 exclude:}

• ^{purchase accounting charges related to acquisitions completed in prior periods totaling $0.4 million pre-tax, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, with $0.3 million included in operating income and $0.1 million included in interest expense}
  

^{Please refer to the accompanying “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for detailed information on calculating the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.}

^{(2) Cash includes cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash}

^{(3) This reference to Non-GAAP operating margin for a future period is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP operating margin may exclude items such as pre-tax purchase accounting charges and pre-tax business realignment charges. These and other not presently determinable items could have a material impact on the determination of operating margin on a GAAP basis and due to the probable variability and limited visibility of excluded items, therefore, we have not provided a reconciliation of Non-GAAP operating margin for future periods in this press release.}

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.

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.

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, Non-GAAP operating margin, and Non-GAAP net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated per diluted share (and components thereof, including Non-GAAP income before income taxes and Non-GAAP net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated), which may exclude, as applicable, business realignment charges, Mexico optimization charges and purchase accounting charges. The business realignment charges include severance costs, asset impairment costs, and costs to relocate equipment and inventory related to organizational changes we undertook as a result of our response to COVID, including a reduction in the company's work force, temporary closure of certain manufacturing facilities and subsequent gains resulting from the sale of related assets. The Mexico optimization charges include asset impairment costs, severance costs, and employee relocation costs resulting from the closure of our Torreón manufacturing facility. The purchase accounting charges may include the amortization of intangible assets, incremental expense upon the sale of inventory acquired at fair value, amortization of employee retention agreements, fair value adjustments of future cash payments recorded as interest expense, and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration. 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, business realignment charges and Mexico optimization charges are dependent on the timing, size, number and nature of the operations being moved or closed, 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, except for the non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge and the adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration which reflects the associated GAAP tax impact in the period presented.
