LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of La-Z-Boy Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). We derived the April 24, 2021 balance sheet from our audited financial statements. We prepared the interim financial information in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which we applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but the information does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In management’s opinion, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed), that are necessary for a fair statement of results for the respective interim periods. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the full fiscal year ending April 30, 2022.
At January 22, 2022, we owned preferred shares and warrants to purchase common shares of two privately-held companies, both of which are variable interest entities. We have not consolidated their results in our financial statements because we do not have the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and, therefore, are not the primary beneficiary.

Note 2: Acquisitions
Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee acquisition
On December 6, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee businesses that operate four independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in Alabama and one in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for $8.3 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we paid $8.0 million of cash for the purchase of the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee stores and assets. This acquisition reflects a core component of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) in suitable geographic markets, alongside the existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network.
Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee markets, and we

reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $4.1 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $7.4 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years.
The acquisition of the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee businesses was not significant to our consolidated financial statements and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented. All of our provisional purchase accounting estimates for this acquisition are based on the information and data available to us as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements and, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805-10-25-15, are subject to change within the first 12 months following the acquisition as we gain additional data.
Furnico (La-Z-Boy United Kingdom Manufacturing) acquisition
On October 25, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Furnico Furniture Ltd ("Furnico"), an upholstery manufacturing business in the U.K for approximately $11.8 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we paid $12.4 million of cash for the purchase of the Furnico business. Furnico produces La-Z-Boy branded product for the La-Z-Boy U.K. business and also operates a wholesale business, selling white label products to key U.K. retailers. With this acquisition, we expect to realize production synergies, cost savings through materials procurement, and increases in production capacity to support growth in the La-Z-Boy U.K business.
We recognized $7.9 million of goodwill in our Wholesale segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired business and future benefits of these synergies. The goodwill asset for Furnico is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
The acquisition of the Furnico business was not significant to our consolidated financial statements and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented. All of our provisional purchase accounting estimates for this acquisition are based on the information and data available to us as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements and, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805-10-25-15, are subject to change within the first 12 months following the acquisition as we gain additional data.
Long Island, New York acquisition
On August 16, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the Long Island, New York business that operates three independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores for $4.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we paid $4.4 million of cash for the purchase of the Long Island, New York stores and assets. This acquisition reflects a core component of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) in suitable geographic markets, alongside the existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network.
Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Long Island, New York market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $0.8 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $4.4 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years.

Prior Year Acquisitions
On September 14, 2020, we completed our acquisition of the Seattle, Washington business that operates six independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and one warehouse for $13.5 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, a $2.0 million cash payment was made for the purchase with future guaranteed payments of $9.4 million to be paid over 36 months or fewer, with timing of payments dependent upon the achievement of sales thresholds defined in the purchase agreement. This acquisition reflects a core component of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) in suitable geographic markets, alongside the existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network.
Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Seattle, Washington market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $2.2 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $12.9 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years.
The acquisition of the Seattle, Washington business was not significant to our consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented.
Comparability
During fiscal 2021, we determined that holdback payments for acquisition purchases of $5.8 million included in net cash used by investing activities should have been included in net cash used by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Although the amount impacting payments for acquisitions was not material to the fiscal 2021 consolidated financial statements, the classification of these amounts has been corrected by revising the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended January 23, 2021.
Note 3: Cash and Restricted Cash
We have restricted cash on deposit with a bank as collateral for certain letters of credit. All our letters of credit have maturity dates within the next twelve months, but we expect to renew some of these letters of credit when they mature.

Note 8: Product Warranties
We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties when we recognize revenue on the sale of warrantied products. We estimate future warranty claims on product sales based on our historical claims experience and periodically adjust the provision to reflect changes in actual experience. We incorporate repair costs into our liability estimates, including materials, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform repairs, and any costs associated with delivering repaired product to our customers. Over 90% of our warranty liability relates to our Wholesale reportable segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and provide a limited lifetime warranty on certain mechanisms and frames. Our Wholesale segment warranties cover labor costs relating to our parts for one year. We provide a limited lifetime warranty against defects on a majority of Joybird products, which are a part of our Corporate and Other results. For all our manufacturer warranties, the warranty period begins when the consumer receives our product. We use considerable judgment in making our estimates, and we record differences between our actual and estimated costs when the differences are known.
A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability is as follows:

|  | Quarter Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | 1/22/2022 (1) |  | 1/23/2021

(1)$15.8 million and $14.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of January 22, 2022 and April 24, 2021, respectively, while the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities.
We recorded accruals during the periods presented in the table above, primarily to reflect charges that relate to warranties issued during the respective periods.
Note 9: Debt
On October 15, 2021, we entered into a new five-year $200.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and working capital. We may increase the size of the facility, either in the form of additional revolving commitments or new term loans, subject to the discretion of each lender to participate in such increase, up to an additional amount of $100.0 million. The Credit Facility will mature on October 15, 2026 and provides us the ability to extend the maturity date for two additional one-year periods, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. As of January 22, 2022, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants requiring a maximum consolidated net lease adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as customary covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, merge or consolidate, and dispose of certain assets. As of January 22, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Table of Contents
The Credit Facility replaced our previous $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which had been secured primarily by all of our accounts receivable, inventory, cash deposits, and securities accounts. The previous revolving credit facility was terminated on October 15, 2021, and is no longer in effect.
Note 10: Stock-Based Compensation
The table below summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense we recognized for all outstanding grants in our consolidated statement of income:

|  | Quarter Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021
Equity-based awards expense |  | $ | 2,533 |  |  | $ | 2,948 |  |  | $ | 8,887 |  |  | $ | 9,115 |
Liability-based awards expense (1) |  | (73) |  |  | 587 |  |  | (696) |  |  | 1,925 |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 2,460 |  |  | $ | 3,535 |  |  | $ | 8,191 |  |  | $ | 11,040 |

(1)Liability-based awards are comprised primarily of deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date and is remeasured each reporting period based on the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reported period.
Stock Options. We granted 252,996 stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and we have stock options outstanding from previous grants. We account for stock options as equity-based awards because when they are exercised, they will be settled in common shares. We recognize compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date our Compensation Committee approved the awards. The vesting period for our stock options ranges from one to four years, with accelerated vesting upon retirement. The vesting date for retirement-eligible employees is the later of the date they meet the criteria for retirement or the end of the fiscal year in which the grant was made. We accelerate the expense for options granted to retirement-eligible employees over the vesting period, with expense recognized from the grant date through their retirement eligibility date or over the ten months following the grant date, whichever period is longer. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur.
We estimate the fair value of the employee stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was calculated using the following assumptions:

(Unaudited) |  | Fiscal 2022 grant |  | Assumption
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.82 | % |  | U.S. Treasury issues with term equal to expected life at grant date
Dividend rate |  | 1.58 | % |  | Estimated future dividend rate and common share price at grant date
Expected life |  | 5.0 years |  | Contractual term of stock option and expected employee exercise trends
Stock price volatility |  | 42.16 | % |  | Historical volatility of our common shares
Fair value per option |  | $ | 12.29 |  |  |

Restricted Stock. We granted 121,963 shares of restricted stock to employees during the first nine months of fiscal 2022. We issue restricted stock at no cost to the employees, and the shares are held in an escrow account until the vesting period ends. If a recipient's employment ends during the escrow period (other than through death or disability), the shares are returned at no cost to the Company. We account for restricted stock awards as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock that was awarded in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $38.27 per share, the market value of our common shares on the date of grant. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date our Compensation Committee approved the awards. Restricted stock awards vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date over a term of four years.
Restricted Stock Units. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we granted 33,794 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors. These restricted stock units vest when the director leaves the board. We account for these restricted stock units as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in shares of our common stock. We measure and recognize compensation expense for these awards based on the market price of our common shares on the date of the grant. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock units that were awarded in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $35.34 per share.

Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we granted 125,021 performance-based shares. We also have performance-based share awards outstanding from previous grants. Payout of the fiscal 2022 grant depends on our financial performance (50%) and a market-based condition based on the total return our shareholders receive on their investment in our stock relative to returns earned through investments in other public companies (50%). The performance share opportunity ranges from 50% of the employee’s target award if minimum performance requirements are met to a maximum of 200% of the target award based on the attainment of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years. Grants of performance-based shares during fiscal 2021 were weighted the same as those granted during fiscal 2022 while grants of performance-based shares during fiscal 2020 were weighted (80%) on financial performance and (20%) on market-based conditions.
We account for performance-based shares as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. For shares that vest based on our results relative to the performance goals, we expense as compensation cost the fair value of the shares as of the day we granted the awards recognized over the performance period, taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance goals. The fair value of each share of the awards we granted in fiscal 2022 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $36.13, the market value of our common shares on the date we granted the awards less the dividends we expect to pay before the shares vest. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we use a Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate each share’s fair value as of the date of grant. The Monte Carlo valuation model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected performance ranking relative to our peer group. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied. Based on the Monte Carlo model, the fair value as of the grant date of the fiscal 2022 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $51.85.

Note 12: Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is primarily derived from product sales. We report product sales net of discounts and recognize them when control (rights and obligations associated with the product) passes to the customer. For sales to furniture retailers or distributors, control typically transfers when we ship the product. In cases where we sell directly to the end consumer, control of the product is generally transferred upon delivery.
For shipping and handling activities, we have elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. We expense shipping and handling costs at the time we recognize revenue in accordance with this election.
For sales tax, we have elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows us to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes.
We have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. As our contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components, we have not adjusted consideration.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. We receive customer deposits from end consumers before we recognize revenue and in some cases we have the unconditional right to collect the remaining portion of the order price before we fulfill our performance obligation, resulting in a contract asset and a corresponding deferred revenue liability. In our consolidated balance sheet, customer deposits and deferred revenue (collectively, the "contract liabilities") are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities while contract assets are reported as other current assets. The following table presents our contract assets and liabilities:

Note 13: Segment Information
Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.
Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands: American Drew®, Hammary® and Kincaid®. The Wholesale segment also includes our international wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.
Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 163 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other accessories, to end consumers through these stores.
Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an e-commerce retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer primarily online through its website, www.joybird.com. None of the operating segments included in Corporate & Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

Note 14: Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 24.8% and 25.9% for the third quarter and nine months ended January 22, 2022, respectively, compared with 27.7% and 26.4% for the third quarter and nine months ended January 23, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate in the third quarter and nine months ended January 23, 2021, was impacted by a non-deductible fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration liability related to our Joybird acquisition. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.
Note 15: Earnings per Share
Certain share-based compensation awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends prior to vesting are considered participating securities. Prior to fiscal 2019, we granted restricted stock awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares, and we are required to include these participating securities in calculating our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method. Beginning in fiscal 2019 and going forward, the restricted stock awards we granted do not have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and therefore are not considered participating securities. The dividends on these restricted stock awards are, and will continue to be, held in escrow until the stock awards vest at which time we will pay any accumulated dividends.

|  | Quarter Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share data) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021
Numerator (basic and diluted): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated |  | $ | 28,467 |  |  | $ | 29,232 |  |  | $ | 92,549 |  |  | $ | 68,965 |
Income allocated to participating securities |  | — |  |  | (9) |  |  | (6) |  |  | (33) |
Net income available to common Shareholders |  | $ | 28,467 |  |  | $ | 29,223 |  |  | $ | 92,543 |  |  | $ | 68,932 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding |  | 43,701 |  |  | 46,261 |  |  | 44,342 |  |  | 46,064 |
Contingent common shares |  | 55 |  |  | 224 |  |  | 59 |  |  | 195 |
Stock option dilution |  | 212 |  |  | 333 |  |  | 239 |  |  | 148 |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding |  | 43,968 |  |  | 46,818 |  |  | 44,640 |  |  | 46,407 |
Earnings per Share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 0.65 |  |  | $ | 0.63 |  |  | $ | 2.09 |  |  | $ | 1.50 |
Diluted |  | $ | 0.65 |  |  | $ | 0.62 |  |  | $ | 2.07 |  |  | $ | 1.49 |

The values for contingent common shares set forth above reflect the dilutive effect of common shares that we would have issued to employees under the terms of performance-based share awards if the relevant performance period for the award had been the reporting period.
We exclude the effect of options from our diluted share calculation when the weighted average exercise price of the options is higher than the average market price, since including the options' effect would be anti-dilutive. For the third quarter and nine months ended January 22, 2022, we excluded options to purchase 0.2 million shares from the diluted share calculation. For the third quarter ended January 23, 2021, we did not exclude any options as the effect would have been anti-dilutive and for the nine months ended January 23, 2021, we excluded 0.3 million shares from the diluted share calculation.
Note 16: Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards require that we put financial assets and liabilities into one of three categories based on the inputs we use to value them:
•Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
•Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or on model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Accounting standards require that in making fair value measurements, we use observable market data when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, we categorize the fair value measurement as being in the lowest level that is significant to the measurement. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
In addition to assets and liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We measure non-financial assets such as other intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived assets at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and we record them at fair value only when we recognize an impairment loss.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 22, 2022 and April 24, 2021. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for any of the periods presented.

(1)Certain marketable securities investments are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology.
At January 22, 2022 and April 24, 2021, we held marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, as well as marketable securities to fund future obligations of our executive deferred compensation plan and our performance compensation retirement plan. We also held other fixed income and cost basis investments.
The fair value measurements for our Level 1 and Level 2 securities are based on quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs.
At January 22, 2022, our Level 3 assets included non-marketable preferred shares and warrants to purchase common shares of two privately held start-up companies. The fair value for our Level 3 investments is not readily determinable so we estimate the fair value as costs minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments with the same issuer. There were no changes to the fair value of our Level 3 assets during the nine months ended January 22, 2022.
Our Level 3 liability includes our contingent consideration liability resulting from the Joybird acquisition. Based on the achievement of fiscal 2021 performance metrics, we paid $10.0 million of contingent consideration during the
second quarter of fiscal 2022. The fair value of our contingent consideration liability as of January 22, 2022, reflects our expectation that consideration will be owed under the terms of the earn out agreement based on fiscal 2023 projections of Joybird revenue and earnings. The fair value is determined using a variation of the income approach, known as the real options method, whereby revenue and earnings are simulated over the earnout periods in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric Brownian Motion. For each simulation path, the potential earnout payments were calculated based on management’s probability estimates for achievement of the revenue and earnings milestones and then were discounted to the valuation date using a discount rate of 1.8%. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we recognized an increase in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability of $0.5 million based on an updated valuation reflecting our most recent financial projections. There were no other changes to the fair value of our Level 3 liabilities during the nine months ended January 22, 2022.

Introduction
Our Business
We are the leading global producer of reclining chairs and the second largest manufacturer/distributor of residential furniture in the United States. The La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores retail network is the third largest retailer of single-branded furniture in the United States. We manufacture, market, import, export, distribute and retail upholstery furniture products under the La-Z-Boy®, England, Kincaid®, and Joybird® tradenames. In addition, we import, distribute and retail accessories and casegoods (wood) furniture products under the Kincaid®, American Drew®, Hammary®, and Joybird® tradenames.
As of January 22, 2022, our supply chain operations included the following:
•Five major manufacturing locations and nine regional distribution centers in the United States and five facilities in Mexico to support our speed-to-market and customization strategy
•A logistics company that distributes a portion of our products in the United States
•A wholesale sales office that is responsible for distribution of our product in the United Kingdom and Ireland
•An upholstery manufacturing business in the United Kingdom
•A global trading company in Hong Kong which helps us manage our Asian supply chain by establishing and maintaining relationships with our Asian suppliers, as well as identifying efficiencies and savings opportunities
23

Table of Contents
We also participate in two consolidated joint ventures in Thailand that support our international businesses: one that operates a manufacturing facility and another that operates a wholesale sales office. Additionally, we also have contracts with several suppliers in Asia to produce products that support our pure import model for casegoods.
We sell our products through multiple channels: to furniture retailers or distributors in the United States, Canada, and approximately 65 other countries, including the United Kingdom, China, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand, directly to consumers through retail stores that we own and operate, and through our websites, www.la-z-boy.com and www.joybird.com.
•The centerpiece of our retail distribution strategy is our network of 350 La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and 559 La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, each dedicated to marketing our La-Z-Boy branded products. We consider this dedicated space to be “proprietary.”
◦La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores help consumers furnish their homes by combining the style, comfort, and quality of La-Z-Boy furniture with our available design services. We own 163 of the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, while the remainder are independently owned and operated.
◦La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations are defined spaces within larger independent retailers that are dedicated to displaying and selling La-Z-Boy branded products. All 559 La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations are independently owned and operated.
◦In total, we have approximately 7.8 million square feet of proprietary floor space dedicated to selling La-Z-Boy branded products in North America.
◦We also have approximately 3.0 million square feet of floor space outside of the United States and Canada dedicated to selling La-Z-Boy branded products.
•Our other brands, England, American Drew, Hammary, and Kincaid enjoy distribution through many of the same outlets, with slightly over half of Hammary’s sales originating through the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store network.
◦Kincaid and England have their own dedicated proprietary in-store programs with 635 outlets and approximately 2.0 million square feet of proprietary floor space.
◦In total, our proprietary floor space includes approximately 12.8 million square feet worldwide.
•Joybird sells product primarily online and has a limited amount of proprietary retail showroom floor space including small format stores in key urban markets.
Our goal is to deliver value to our shareholders over the long term through executing our strategic initiatives. The foundation of our strategic initiatives is driving profitable sales growth in all areas of our business.
We plan to drive growth in the following ways:
•Leveraging and reinvigorating our brand with a consumer focus and expanded omni-channel presence. Our strategic initiatives to leverage and reinvigorate our iconic La-Z-Boy brand center on a renewed focus on leveraging the compelling La-Z-Boy comfort message, accelerating our omni-channel offering, and identifying additional consumer base growth opportunities. Our marketing platform featuring celebrity brand ambassador Kristen Bell drives brand recognition and injects youthful style and sensibility into our marketing campaign, which enhances the appeal of our brand with a younger consumer base. Further, our goal is to connect with consumers along their purchase journey through multiple means, whether online or in person. We are driving change throughout our digital platforms to improve the user experience, with a specific focus on the ease with which customers browse through our broad product assortment, customize products to their liking, find stores to make a purchase, or purchase at www.la-z-boy.com.
•Expanding the reach of our branded distribution channels, which include the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store network and the La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, our store-within-a-store format. While the consumer’s purchase journey may start digitally, our consumers also demonstrate an affinity for visiting our stores to shop, allowing us to frequently deliver the flagship La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store, or La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio®, experience and provide design services. We expect our strategic initiatives in this area to generate growth in our Retail segment through an increased company-owned store count and in our Wholesale segment as our proprietary distribution network expands. We are not only focused on growing the number of locations, but also on upgrading existing store locations to our new concept designs.

•Growing our company-owned retail business. We are focused on growing this business by increasing same-store sales through improved execution at the store level and by acquiring existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and opening new La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, primarily in markets that can be serviced through our regional distribution centers, where we see opportunity for growth, or where we believe we have opportunities for further market penetration.
•Accelerating the growth of the Joybird brand. During fiscal 2019, we purchased Joybird, a leading e-commerce retailer and manufacturer of upholstered furniture with a direct-to-consumer model. We believe that Joybird is a brand with significant potential and our strategic initiatives in this area focus on fueling profitable growth through an increase in digital marketing spend to drive awareness and customer acquisition, ongoing investments in technology, an expansion of product assortment, and additional small format stores in our key urban markets to enhance our consumers' omni-channel experience.
•Enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and enable potential acquisitions for growth. In addition to our branded distribution channels, nearly 2,000 other dealers sell La-Z-Boy products, providing us the benefit of multi-channel distribution. These outlets include some of the best-known names in the industry, including Slumberland, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Mathis Brothers and Raymour & Flanagan. We believe there is significant growth potential for our consumer brands through these retail channels. Our strategic initiatives focus on enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and improving the agility of our supply chain so that it can more broadly support all our consumer brands.
Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.
•Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands: American Drew®, Hammary® and Kincaid®. The Wholesale segment also includes our international wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.
•Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 163 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other accessories, to end consumers through these stores.
•Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an e-commerce retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer primarily online through its website, www.joybird.com. None of the operating segments included in Corporate & Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.
Impact of COVID-19
We have been and continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities, state and local restrictions limiting our ability to deliver product to consumers, and the temporary closure of our company-owned stores consistent with most retailers across North America negatively impacted our financial results. In response to the financial impacts of the pandemic, beginning at the end of fiscal 2020, we took several actions to conserve cash in the near term and during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we announced our business realignment plan, which included the reduction of our global workforce by about 10% across our manufacturing, retail, and corporate locations, and included the closure of our Newton, Mississippi upholstery manufacturing facility.
25

Table of Contents
By the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, all retail and manufacturing locations had reopened, and since that time, we have experienced a strong pace of written order trends as consumers continue to allocate more discretionary spending to home furnishings. In response to demand for our products outpacing our production capacity and with backlog still at a high level, our supply chain team continues to demonstrate agility and flexibility to identify ways to increase production capacity. We have increased capacity by adding manufacturing cells at our Mexico Cut-and-Sew Center, adding second shifts and weekend production shifts to our U.S. plants, and temporarily reactivating a portion of our Newton, Mississippi upholstery manufacturing facility. In addition, we opened a leased upholstery assembly plant in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico and a leased sewing facility in Parras, Mexico during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, respectively. Further, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we signed a lease to open additional manufacturing capacity in Torreon, Mexico which began operations at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
We continue to actively manage the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as we face continued uncertainty regarding the impact COVID-19 will have on our financial operations in the near and long term. We also continue to actively manage our global supply chain and manufacturing operations, which have been adversely impacted with respect to availability and pricing of raw materials and freight based on uncontrollable factors as well as COVID-19 related constraints on our manufacturing capacity as we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees. The need for, or timing of, any future actions in response to COVID-19 is largely dependent on the mitigation of the spread of the virus along with the adoption and continued effectiveness of vaccines, status of government orders, directives and guidelines, recovery of the business environment, global supply chain conditions, economic conditions, and consumer demand for our products, all of which are highly uncertain.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Compared with Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter
La-Z-Boy Incorporated

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  |  | Nine Months Ended |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except percentages) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | % Change |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | % Change
Sales |  | $ | 571,573 |  |  | $ | 470,196 |  |  | 21.6% |  | $ | 1,672,245 |  |  | $ | 1,214,774 |  |  | 37.7 | %
Operating income |  | 39,487 |  |  | 34,414 |  |  | 14.7% |  | 127,971 |  |  | 86,678 |  |  | 47.6 | %
Operating margin |  | 6.9% |  | 7.3% |  |  |  | 7.7% |  | 7.1% |  |

Sales
Consolidated sales increased $101.4 million, or 21.6%, and $457.5 million, or 37.7%, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. Since retail and manufacturing locations reopened after the COVID-related shutdowns at the beginning of fiscal 2021, we have experienced a strong pace of written order trends while facing challenges in the global supply chain. In response to heightened demand, we have expanded our manufacturing capacity, increased our strategic raw material reserves, and taken pricing and surcharge actions to counteract rising materials and freight costs. Despite continued supply chain headwinds, the ongoing impact of these strategic actions and sustained demand led to significant sales growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with the same periods a year ago.
Operating Margin
Operating margin, which is calculated as operating income as a percentage of sales, decreased 40 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, but increased 60 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the same periods a year ago.
•Gross margin, which is calculated as gross profit as a percentage of sales, decreased 440 basis points and 410 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
◦Continued increases in demand, as well as availability challenges in the global supply chain caused by COVID-19, including factory shutdowns in Vietnam, led to higher raw material and freight costs. In response, we took pricing and surcharge actions which mostly offset rising costs in the third quarter and to a lesser extent, the first nine months of fiscal 2022, as they were increasingly realized in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022.
26

Table of Contents
◦The expansion of our manufacturing capacity, in response to increased demand and sustained backlog, has led to higher production costs. Further, continued labor challenges and the unavailability of component parts has resulted in temporary plant inefficiencies.
◦Changes in our consolidated mix improved gross margin by 30 basis points and 50 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively. The benefit was led by growth in our Retail segment and Joybird, both of which have higher gross margins relative to our Wholesale segment.
•Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 400 basis points and 470 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
◦The third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 included a $10.0 million and a $12.5 million pre-tax charge, respectively, resulting from the increase in the fair value of the Joybird contingent consideration liability, the absence of which in fiscal 2022 drove a comparative 210 basis point and 110 basis point decline in SG&A as a percentage of sales in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively.
◦The first nine months of fiscal 2022 included a gain resulting from the sale of our Newton, Mississippi manufacturing facility while the first nine months of fiscal 2021 included expenses resulting from our business realignment plan. These actions resulted in a comparative 40 basis point decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with the same period of fiscal 2021.
◦The remaining decrease in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 was due to higher sales volume relative to fixed costs.
We discuss each segment’s results in the following section.
Wholesale Segment

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  |  | Nine Months Ended |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except percentages) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | % Change |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021 |  | % Change
Sales |  | $ | 423,281 |  |  | $ | 350,708 |  |  | 20.7% |  | $ | 1,255,872 |  |  | $ | 917,297 |  |  | 36.9 | %
Operating income |  | 27,639 |  |  | 35,686 |  |  | (22.5)% |  | 89,098 |  |  | 95,309 |  |  | (6.5) | %
Operating margin |  | 6.5% |  | 10.2% |  |  |  | 7.1% |  | 10.4% |  |

Sales
The Wholesale segment’s sales increased $72.6 million, or 20.7%, and $338.6 million, or 36.9%, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. More than half of the sales increase in the third quarter was driven by pricing and surcharge actions taken in response to rising manufacturing costs, with the remaining increase primarily attributable to higher volume. Partially offsetting these increases, sales in our casegoods business were adversely impacted in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 by product unavailability due to temporary COVID-related shutdowns in Vietnam. The sales increase in the first nine months was primarily a result of higher volume and to a lesser extent pricing and surcharge actions, as they were increasingly realized in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022. Higher sales volume in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 was driven by increased demand following the reopening of our stores after the COVID-related shutdowns at the beginning of fiscal 2021 and, since that time, we have continued to expand and scale our manufacturing capabilities to meet demand and work through our record backlog.
Operating Margin
Operating margin decreased 370 basis points and 330 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
•Gross margin decreased 480 basis points and 500 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
◦Higher demand and global supply chain challenges led to rising raw material and freight costs, higher tariff costs resulting from sourcing changes, and decreased availability of casegoods products due to temporary factory shutdowns in Vietnam. These challenges resulted in an 850 basis point and 770 basis point decrease in gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, of which 110 basis points and 40 basis points were driven by our casegoods business which was adversely impacted by the Vietnam shutdowns.

◦In response to the higher raw material and freight costs, we took pricing and surcharge actions to mitigate their impact, resulting in a 680 basis point and 540 basis point benefit to gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively.
◦Continued manufacturing capacity expansion, in response to significant increases in written order demand, along with temporary component part unavailability, and sustained labor challenges drove an increase in production costs resulting in a 260 basis point and 300 basis point decrease in gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively.
•SG&A expense as a percentage of sales decreased 110 basis points and 170 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
◦The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales in both periods was primarily due to higher sales volume relative to both fixed costs and marketing spend.
◦Additionally, the first nine months of fiscal 2022 included a gain resulting from the sale of our Newton, Mississippi manufacturing facility while the first nine months of fiscal 2021 included expenses resulting from our business realignment plan. These actions resulted in a comparative 50 basis point decrease in the segment's SG&A as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Sales
The Retail segment’s sales increased $31.1 million, or 18.7%, and $151.9 million, or 36.2%, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, led by a 16.4% and 32.9% increase in delivered same-store sales, respectively. Since the reopening of our retail stores in the beginning of fiscal 2021, we continue to see sustained higher demand for products in the home furnishings category and are continuing to experience strong sales trends as written same-store sales increased 2.7% over first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with the same period a year ago. While written same-store sales decreased 1.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with the same period a year ago, compared to the pre-pandemic third quarter of fiscal 2020, written same-store sales have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 3.6%. Same-store delivered sales include the sales of all currently active stores which have been open and company-owned for each comparable period.
Operating Margin
Operating margin increased 330 basis points and 650 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
•Gross margin decreased 120 basis points and 80 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily due to the timing difference between higher product costs resulting from the pricing and surcharge actions taken by our manufacturing business and pricing actions taken by the Retail business which are realized upon delivery.
•SG&A expense as a percentage of sales decreased 450 basis points and 730 basis points in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily due to higher delivered sales relative to marketing spend and fixed costs, mainly occupancy and selling expenses.

Sales
Sales increased $16.3 million and $54.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily led by Joybird sales which increased 55.8% to $44.5 million and 72.7% to $123.4 million, respectively. The growth in Joybird sales was driven by increased demand for products in the home furnishings category, investments in marketing and website enhancements resulting in higher online conversion, increased pricing and favorable product mix, and the addition of retail store locations. Further, sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 were negatively impacted by COVID-19, although to a lesser extent than our other retail businesses as Joybird primarily operates in the online, direct-to-consumer marketplace. Written sales for Joybird were up 27.4% and 36.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, driven by significant investments in marketing.
Intercompany eliminations increased in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with the same periods a year ago due to higher sales from our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment, driven by higher sales in the Retail segment.
Operating Loss
Our Corporate and Other operating loss decreased $3.7 million and $2.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.
•There was a comparative benefit in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, which was absent a $10.0 million and a $12.5 million pre-tax charge recognized in the same periods last year, respectively, resulting from the increase in the fair value of the Joybird contingent consideration liability based on financial projections at that time.
•Partially offsetting the item noted above, operating loss increased in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to decreased operating profits at Joybird resulting from significant investments in marketing to drive customer acquisition and awareness combined with rising raw material and freight costs due to higher demand and global supply chain challenges.
•Increased investments in our technology infrastructure also contributed to the increased operating loss in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $1.5 million of expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $6.5 million of income in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The expense in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to unrealized losses on investments. The income in fiscal 2021 was primarily due to $5.2 million of payroll tax credits resulting from the CARES Act along with unrealized gains on investments.
Other income (expense), net was $0.5 million of expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared with $8.0 million of income in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The expense in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to exchange rate losses. The income in fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the payroll tax credits noted above along with unrealized gains on investments.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 24.8% and 25.9% for the third quarter and nine months ended January 22, 2022, respectively, compared with 27.7% and 26.4% for the third quarter and nine months ended January 23, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate in the third quarter and nine months ended January 23, 2021, was impacted by a non-deductible fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration liability related to our Joybird acquisition. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, cash from operations, and amounts available under our credit facility. We believe these sources remain adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, and fulfill other cash requirements for day-to-day operations and capital expenditures. We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $240.0 million at January 22, 2022, compared with $394.7 million at April 24, 2021. In addition, we had investments to enhance our returns on cash of $29.8 million at January 22, 2022, compared with $32.5 million at April 24, 2021.
The following table illustrates the main components of our cash flows:

|  | Nine Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 1/22/2022 |  | 1/23/2021
Cash Flows Provided By (Used For) |  |  |  |
Net cash provided by operating activities (1) |  | $ | 45,192 |  |  | $ | 249,831 |
Net cash used for investing activities |  | (77,036) |  |  | (29,897) |
Net cash used for financing activities |  | (122,288) |  |  | (93,626) |
Exchange rate changes |  | (593) |  |  | 3,191 |
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | (154,725) |  |  | $ | 129,499 |

(1)The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities year over year is primarily due to the significant increase in customer deposits during fiscal 2021 resulting from a surge in written sales once retail stores reopened, along with a significant increase in inventory balances in fiscal 2022 to support increased sales demand and manufacturing capacity.
Operating Activities
During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $45.2 million. Our cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to net income generated during the period partially offset by an increase in working capital. The increase in working capital was led by higher inventory to ensure input material availability to support increased sales demand and manufacturing capacity.
Investing Activities
During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, net cash used for investing activities was $77.0 million, primarily due to the following:
•Cash used for capital expenditures in the period was $58.6 million, compared with $26.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, which primarily related to plant upgrades to our upholstery manufacturing and distribution facilities in Neosho, Missouri, improvements to our retail stores, new upholstery manufacturing capacity in Mexico, and technology upgrades. Spending on these items will continue into the fourth quarter, with full year fiscal 2022 capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $80 to $85 million. We have no material contractual commitments outstanding for future capital expenditures.
•Cash used for acquisitions was $24.8 million, related to the acquisition of the Furnico manufacturing business and the Alabama, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Long Island, New York retail businesses.
Financing Activities
On October 15, 2021, we entered into a new five-year $200.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and working capital. We may increase the size of the facility, either in the form of additional revolving commitments or new term loans, subject to the discretion of each lender to participate in such increase, up to an additional amount of $100 million. The Credit Facility will mature on October 15, 2026 and provides us the ability to extend the maturity date for two additional one-year periods, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. As of January 22, 2022, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants requiring a maximum consolidated net lease adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as customary covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, merge or consolidate, and dispose of certain assets. As of January 22, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

We believe our cash on hand, in addition to our available Credit Facility, will provide adequate liquidity for our business operations over the next 12 months.
The Credit Facility replaces our previous $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which had been secured primarily by all of our accounts receivable, inventory, cash deposits, and securities accounts. The previous revolving credit facility was terminated on October 15, 2021, and is no longer in effect.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, net cash used for financing activities was $122.3 million, primarily due to the following:
•Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of company stock and we spent $75.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to repurchase 2.1 million shares. On August 17, 2021, the board of directors approved a 6.5 million increase in its share repurchase authorization and as of January 22, 2022, 7.9 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to this authorization.
•Cash paid for holdback payments made on prior period acquisitions was $23.0 million, which primarily included contingent consideration and guaranteed payments related to the acquisition of Joybird and guaranteed payments related to the acquisition of the Seattle, Washington business.
•Cash paid to our shareholders in quarterly dividends was $20.6 million. Our board of directors has sole authority to determine if and when we will declare future dividends and on what terms. We expect the board to continue declaring regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, but it may discontinue doing so at any time.
Exchange Rate Changes
Due to changes in exchange rates, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased by $0.6 million from the end of fiscal year 2021 to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022. These changes impacted our cash balances held in Canada, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
Other
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, there were no material changes to the information about our contractual obligations and commitments shown in the table contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2021. We do not expect our continuing compliance with existing federal, state and local statutes dealing with protection of the environment to have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, competitive position or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
We disclosed our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2021. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the nine months ended January 22, 2022.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of company stock. With respect to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, pursuant to the existing board authorization, we adopted a plan to repurchase company stock pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Under this plan, our broker has the authority to repurchase company shares on our behalf, subject to SEC regulations and the price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. The plan expires at the close of business on November 26, 2021. We spent $25.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to repurchase 0.7 million shares, pursuant to the plan and discretionary purchases. As of January 22, 2022, 7.9 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the board authorization.
