La-Z-Boy Incorporated (NYSE: LZB), a global leader in the retail
and manufacture of residential furniture, today reported strong
third quarter results for the period ended January 25, 2025.
For the quarter, sales totaled $522 million, growing 4% against the
prior year comparable period. Operating margin was 6.7% for the
quarter on a GAAP basis and 6.8% on a Non-GAAP(1) basis. Diluted
earnings per share totaled $0.68 on a GAAP and Non-GAAP(1) basis.
The company returned $90 million to shareholders year-to-date, up
approximately 40% versus the prior year comparable period.
Written sales trends sequentially accelerated,
with third quarter total written sales for the Retail segment
(company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries®) increasing 15% versus
a year ago and written same-store sales (which exclude the impact
of newly opened stores and newly acquired stores) up 7% versus a
year ago. Sales strength was broad based with all key markets
posting positive same-store sales trends driven by strong execution
and sequential improvements in traffic. Written same-store sales
for the entire La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network also increased
5% versus the year ago period. Performance continues to outpace the
broader industry with market share gains in the quarter.
Melinda D. Whittington, Board Chair, President
and Chief Executive Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, “Our
third quarter results reflect the steady progress we have made to
build a more agile business, create our own momentum, and drive
growth in what is still a challenged environment. We delivered
sales growth across each of our segments, punctuated by strong
Retail same-store sales. This was driven by solid conversion rates,
average ticket, and design sales, all of which improved again
year-over-year. Additionally, within our Wholesale segment, our
core North America La-Z-Boy brand continues to post sales growth
and margin expansion. Our vertically integrated model reinforces
the unique strength of our iconic brand and positions us to
disproportionately benefit when the market rebounds. We are a
trusted solution for a growing number of consumers and will remain
steadfast in our mission of bringing the transformational power of
comfort to people, homes, and communities.
Whittington added, “As we look to the future, our brand, and
it’s well-known attributes of comfort and quality, will be further
supported by our expanding consumer insights. We believe this is
creating a flywheel with improved innovation, strong speed to
market, and improved brand reach and profitability. While
underlying housing fundamentals remain challenged, we are focused
on solving for the unique needs of the consumer with comfort and
quality and controlling what we can control with strong execution.
This is the foundation to what has led La-Z-Boy Incorporated to be
successful for the past century and will continue to be the
cornerstone of our philosophy for our Century Vision strategy and
next 100 years.”
Fourth Quarter
Outlook:Taylor Luebke, SVP and Chief
Financial Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, “Our strong
written trends and sequential acceleration in our Retail and
Wholesale businesses is a testament that our Century Vision
strategy is enabling us to outperform the industry. We will
continue to focus on growing our core La-Z-Boy brand by
disproportionately expanding our Retail segment and driving
strategic, compatible distribution in the Wholesale segment. We
delivered results above a year ago and at the higher end of our
sales and margin expectations for the quarter despite continued
challenging macro conditions. Our expectation is for industry
trends to remain under pressure, though we expect to continue to
outpace the industry. Assuming no significant changes in tariffs,
we expect fiscal fourth quarter sales to be in the range of
$545-565 million and Non-GAAP operating margin(2) to be in the
range of 8.5-9.5%.”

Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results versus
Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter:
- Consolidated sales in the third
quarter of Fiscal 2025 increased 4% to $522 million versus last
year, primarily driven by strong same-store sales, acquisitions and
new stores in our Retail business, momentum in our core North
America La-Z-Boy Wholesale brand, and strong sales growth in our
Joybird business
- Consolidated GAAP operating margin
was 6.7% versus 6.5%
- Consolidated Non-GAAP(1) operating
margin increased 20 basis points to 6.8% versus 6.6%, driven by
lower input costs (reduced commodity prices and improved sourcing)
partially offset by the impact of a significant customer transition
in our international wholesale business
- GAAP diluted EPS increased to $0.68
from $0.66 and Non-GAAP(1) diluted EPS totaled $0.68 versus $0.67
last year in the comparable period
Retail Segment:
- Sales:
- Written sales for the Retail
segment (company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores)
increased 15% with broad based growth from increases in same-store
sales, and new and acquired stores compared to the year ago period
- Written same-store sales increased
7%, driven by strong execution with higher conversion rates,
average ticket, and design sales
- Delivered sales increased 11% to
$228 million versus last year, primarily due to higher same-store
sales and growth from acquired and new stores
- Operating Margin:
- GAAP operating margin and GAAP
operating income were 10.7% and $24 million, versus 10.9% and $22
million, respectively
- Non-GAAP(1) operating margin and
Non-GAAP(1) operating income were 10.7% and $24 million, down 20
basis points, and up 10%, respectively, driven by sales growth
offset by an increase in selling expenses and fixed costs
supporting our long-term strategy of growing our Retail
business.
Wholesale Segment:
- Sales:
- Sales increased 2% to $363 million,
driven by our core North America La-Z-Boy brand through favorable
shift in product/channel mix with higher sales to our La-Z-Boy
Furniture Galleries®, partially offset by the impact of a
significant customer transition in our international wholesale
business
- Operating Margin:
- GAAP operating margin increased to
6.5% versus 6.4%
- Non-GAAP(1) operating margin was
6.5%, increasing 10 basis points from the year ago period driven by
gross margin expansion (lower input costs and favorable foreign
exchange), partially offset by significant deleverage in our
international wholesale business
Corporate & Other:
- Joybird written sales increased 10%
and delivered sales increased 9% to $37 million driven by improved
retail traffic and strong execution
- Joybird operating margin
performance saw year-over-year improvement from higher gross
margins driven by favorable product mix and SG&A leverage on
higher sales leading to breakeven operating profit
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow, Fiscal 2025 Third
Quarter:
- Ended the quarter with $315 million
in cash(3) and no external debt
- Generated $57 million in cash from
operations versus $48 million in the third quarter of last fiscal

of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP

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 asset impairment costs, accelerated depreciation expense,
lease termination gains, severance costs, and employee relocation
costs related to shifting upholstery production from our Ramos,
Mexico operations to other upholstery plants and relocating our cut
and sew operations back to Ramos, Mexico, resulting in the
permanent closure of our leased cut and sew facility in Parras,
Mexico. 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.
