Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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 30, 2022 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 2022 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 29, 2023.

At January 28, 2023, we owned investments in two privately-held companies consisting of non-marketable preferred shares, warrants to purchase common shares, and convertible notes. Each of these companies is a variable interest entity and 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.

Accounting pronouncements adopted in fiscal 2023

We did not adopt any Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The following table summarizes additional accounting pronouncements which we have not yet adopted, but we believe will not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fiscal 2024

Torreón Closure

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we made the decision to close our manufacturing facility in Torreón, Mexico as part of our initiative to drive improved efficiencies through optimized staffing levels within our plants. Torreón was the last facility to begin operating as part of our broader Mexico manufacturing expansion in fiscal 2021 and 2022 and accounted for approximately 3% of our La-Z-Boy branded production. As a result of this action, charges were recorded within the Wholesale segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $9.2 million in selling, general, and administrative expense for the impairment of various assets, primarily long-lived assets, and $0.9 million in cost of sales, primarily related to severance.

To determine the impairment of our long-lived assets, which included fixed assets utilized by the facility and the right-of-use-lease asset, we calculated the fair value of the Torreón asset group using the income approach based on the expected future cash flows associated with the facility, primarily those associated with an assumed sublease. Based on this evaluation, we recorded an impairment charge as the difference between the asset group's fair value and its carrying value.
