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 29, 2023 balance sheet from our audited financial statements. We prepared the interim financial information in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), which we applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 2023 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 US GAAP. 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 27, 2024.
At July 29, 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 2024
The following table summarizes Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") which were adopted in fiscal 2024, but did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU |  | Description |  | Adoption Date
ASU 2021-08 |  | Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers |  | Fiscal 2024

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.

ASU |  | Description |  | Adoption Date
ASU 2023-02 |  | Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method |  | Fiscal 2025

Change in Accounting Policy - Distribution Center Costs
In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made a voluntary change to the presentation of costs directly attributable to our distribution activities conducted through our distribution centers in the United States. Our policy has changed from presenting these costs within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense to presenting them as cost of sales. We believe this presentation is preferable because it will enhance the comparability of our financial statements with those of our industry peers and align with how we internally manage supply chain costs and margin.
In accordance with US GAAP, the period presented below has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the change to cost of sales and SG&A expense. This change had no impact to sales, income from operations, net income, earnings per share, retained earnings or other components of equity or net assets.

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | For the Quarter Ended July 30, 2022
|  | Previously Reported |  | Effect of Change |  | As Adjusted
Cost of sales |  | $ | 362,631 |  |  | $ | 10,430 |  |  | $ | 373,061 |

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. As a result of this action, charges were recorded within the Wholesale segment in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2023, totaling $9.2 million in SG&A expense for the impairment of various assets, primarily long-lived assets, and $1.6 million in cost of sales, primarily related to severance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we terminated our lease on the Torreón facility and recognized a $1.2 million gain in SG&A expense within the Wholesale segment related to the settlement of our lease obligation on the previously impaired long-lived assets.
Note 2: Acquisitions
None of the below acquisitions were significant to our consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented. All of our provisional purchase accounting estimates for the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2024 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.
Each of the following Retail acquisitions completed in fiscal 2024 and 2023 reflect 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 each Retail acquisition completed in fiscal 2024 and 2023, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in each of their respective markets, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. These required rights are indefinite-lived because our retailer agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement date of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. For federal income tax purposes, we amortize and deduct these indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, if any, over 15 years.
Colorado Springs, Colorado Acquisition
On July 17, 2023, we completed our acquisition of the Colorado Springs, Colorado business that operates two independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and one distribution center for $6.0 million, subject to customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the remaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. As part of the acquisition, we recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $2.3 million related to the reacquired rights described above. We also recognized $2.0 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.
Prior Year Acquisitions
Denver, Colorado Acquisition
On July 18, 2022, we completed our acquisition of the Denver, Colorado business that operates five independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and one distribution center for $10.1 million, subject to customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $7.7 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2023 and the remaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. As part of the acquisition, we recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $4.3 million related to the reacquired rights described above. We also recognized $7.6 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.

Note 7: 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 to three years on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and provide a limited lifetime warranty on certain mechanisms and frames, unless otherwise noted in the warranty. Additionally, 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 |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 7/29/2023 (1) |  | 7/30/2022 |  |  |  |
Balance as of the beginning of the period |  | $ | 30,984 |  |  | $ | 27,036 |  |  |  |  |

Balance as of the end of the period |  | $ | 30,794 |  |  | $ | 27,516 |  |  |  |  |

(1)$20.0 million and $19.9 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of July 29, 2023, and April 29, 2023, 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 8: 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 |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 7/29/2023 |  | 7/30/2022 |  |  |  |
Equity-based awards expense |  | $ | 2,526 |  |  | $ | 1,417 |  |  |  |  |
Liability-based awards expense (1) |  | 88 |  |  | 128 |  |  |  |  |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 2,614 |  |  | $ | 1,545 |  |  |  |  |

(1)Includes stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units issued to Directors, restricted stock units, and performance-based units. 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.
Restricted Stock. We granted 330,140 shares of restricted stock units to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and we also have restricted stock awards outstanding from previous grants. We issue restricted stock at no cost to the employees and account for restricted stock awards as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date our Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of our board of directors approved the awards. Restricted stock awards vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years, with continued vesting upon retirement with respect to the fiscal 2023 and 2024 grants. We accelerate the expense for restricted stock 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. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock that was awarded in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $27.66 per share, the market value of our common shares on the date of grant.
Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we granted 219,154 performance-based shares, and we also have performance-based share awards outstanding from previous grants. Payouts of these grants depend 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.
We account for performance-based shares as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. In the event of an employee's termination during the vesting period, the potential right to earn shares under this program is generally forfeited and we have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period in which 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 2024 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $25.48, 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 2024 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $34.15.
Stock Options. We did not grant stock options to employees during fiscal 2024, but we have stock options outstanding from grants from prior years. 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 and Talent Oversight Committee of our board of directors 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 ten months after the grant date. 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. Granted options outstanding under the former long-term equity award plan remain in effect and have a term of 10 years. We estimated the fair value of the employee stock options granted in prior years at their respective grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions.

Note 10: 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.

Table of Contents
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.
The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by product category and by segment or unit:

In fiscal 2024, certain amounts that were previously charged as surcharges in fiscal 2023 are now included in the base product pricing and reflected in the amounts by product category.
Upholstered Furniture - Includes gross revenue for upholstered furniture, such as recliners, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, and ottomans. This gross revenue includes sales to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (including company-owned stores), operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, other major dealers, independent retailers, and the end consumer.
Casegoods Furniture - Includes gross revenue for casegoods furniture typically found in a bedroom, such as beds, chests, dressers, nightstands and benches; furniture typically found in the dining room, such as dining tables, storage units, and stools; and furniture typically found throughout the home, such as cocktail tables, chairsides, sofa tables, end tables, and entertainment centers. This gross revenue includes sales to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (including company-owned stores), independent retailers, and the end consumer.
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 11: 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
15

Table of Contents
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 175 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 and Other. Corporate and 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 and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

Note 12: Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 26.5% for both the quarter ended July 29, 2023 and the quarter ended July 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.
Note 13: Earnings per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators we used in our computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

|  | Quarter Ended |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share data) |  | 7/29/2023 |  | 7/30/2022 |  |  |  |
Numerator (basic and diluted): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income available to common Shareholders |  | $ | 27,479 |  |  | $ | 38,488 |  |  |  |  |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding |  | 43,239 |  |  | 43,092 |  |  |  |  |
Contingent common shares |  | 54 |  |  | 50 |  |  |  |  |
Stock option dilution |  | 40 |  |  | — |  |  |  |  |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding |  | 43,333 |  |  | 43,142 |  |  |  |  |
Earnings per Share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | 0.64 |  |  | $ | 0.89 |  |  |  |  |
Diluted |  | $ | 0.63 |  |  | $ | 0.89 |  |  |  |  |

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 quarters ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, we excluded options to purchase 0.7 million shares and 1.5 million shares from the diluted share calculation, respectively.
Note 14: 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.

(1)Certain marketable securities investments are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology.
At July 29, 2023 and April 29, 2023, we held marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, our executive deferred compensation plan and our performance compensation retirement plan.
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.

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 July 29, 2023, our supply chain operations included the following:
•Five major manufacturing locations and 13 distribution centers in the United States and four 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

Table of Contents
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. As a result of this action, charges were recorded within the Wholesale segment in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2023, totaling $9.2 million in SG&A expense for the impairment of various assets, primarily long-lived assets, and $1.6 million in cost of sales, primarily related to severance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we terminated our lease on the Torreón facility and recognized a $1.2 million gain in SG&A expense within the Wholesale segment related to the settlement of our lease obligation on the previously impaired long-lived assets.
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 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 50 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 351 La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and 521 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 175 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 521 La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations are independently owned and operated.
◦In total, we have approximately 7.6 million square feet of proprietary floor space dedicated to selling La-Z-Boy branded products in North America.
◦We also have approximately 2.6 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 615 outlets and approximately 1.8 million square feet of proprietary floor space.
•In total, our proprietary floor space includes approximately 12.0 million square feet worldwide.
•Joybird sells product primarily online and also has limited retail showroom floor space through eleven small-format stores in key urban markets.
Our goal is to deliver value to our shareholders over the long term by executing our Century Vision, our strategic plan for growth to our centennial year in 2027, in which we aim to grow sales and market share and strengthen our operating margins. The foundation of our strategic plan is to drive disproportionate growth of our two consumer brands, La-Z-Boy and Joybird, by delivering the transformational power of comfort with a consumer-first approach. We plan to drive growth in the following ways:
Expanding the La-Z-Boy brand reach
•Leveraging our connection to comfort 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. We launched our new brand campaign and marketing platform in fiscal 2024, Long Live the Lazy, with compelling messaging designed to increase recognition and consideration of the brand. We expect this new messaging will enhance the appeal of our brand with a broader 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.
•Growing our La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store network. 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. We are prioritizing growth of our company-owned Retail business by opportunistically 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 distribution centers, where we see opportunity for growth, or where we believe we have opportunities for further market penetration. Additionally, we are testing potential store formats to expand our reach to value-seeking consumers and currently operate two Outlet by La-Z-Boy stores.
•Expanding the reach of our wholesale distribution channels. Consumers experience the La-Z-Boy brand in many channels including the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store network and the La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, our store-within-a-store format. While consumers increasingly interact with the brand 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. In addition to our branded distribution channels, approximately 2,200 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.
Profitably growing the Joybird brand
•Profitably growing the Joybird brand with a digital-first consumer experience. 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 providing additional small-format stores in key urban markets to enhance our consumers' omni-channel experience.
Enhancing our enterprise capabilities
•Enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and enable potential acquisitions for growth. Key to successful growth is ensuring we have the capabilities to support that growth, including an agile supply chain, modern technology for consumers and employees, and by delivering a human-centered employee experience. Through our Century Vision strategic plan, we have several initiatives focused on enhancing these capabilities with a consumer-first focus.
Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.
•Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 175 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.
•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.
•Corporate and Other. Corporate and 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 and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Compared with Fiscal 2023 First Quarter
La-Z-Boy Incorporated

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  |  |  |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except percentages) |  | 7/29/2023 |  | 7/30/2022 |  | % Change |  |  |  |  |  |
Sales |  | $ | 481,651 |  |  | $ | 604,091 |  |  | (20.3)% |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating income |  | 34,526 |  |  | 52,643 |  |  | (34.4)% |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating margin |  | 7.2% |  | 8.7% |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Sales
Consolidated sales decreased $122.4 million, or 20%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago. Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were fueled by delivery of a significant backlog resulting from heightened demand from prior periods. The decrease in sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower unit volume, reflects a return to industry-wide seasonal trends relative to a historically high comparative period. Partially offsetting the decline in volume, sales benefited from favorable product mix.
Operating Margin
Operating margin, which is calculated as operating income as a percentage of sales, decreased 150 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with the same period a year ago.
•Gross margin, which is calculated as gross profit as a percentage of sales, increased 450 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with the same period a year ago.
◦Changes in our consolidated mix improved gross margin by 140 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, driven by relative growth of our Retail segment, which has a higher gross margin than our Wholesale segment.
◦Compared with the same period a year ago, gross margin in the first quarter fiscal 2024 further benefited from lower raw material costs and favorable product mix.
•SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 600 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same periods a year ago.
◦Changes in our consolidated mix increased SG&A expense as a percentage of sales by 120 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, driven by relative growth of our Retail segment, which has a higher SG&A expense as a percentage of sales than our Wholesale segment.
◦The remaining increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by lower delivered sales relative to selling expenses and fixed costs, mainly occupancy expenses.
We discuss each segment’s results in the following section.

Retail Segment

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  |  |  |  |
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except percentages) |  | 7/29/2023 |  | 7/30/2022 |  | % Change |  |  |  |  |  |
Sales |  | $ | 208,243 |  |  | $ | 236,021 |  |  | (11.8)% |  |  |  |  |  |

Operating margin |  | 14.1% |  | 16.2% |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Sales
The Retail segment’s sales decreased $27.8 million, or 12%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to a 16% decline in delivered same-store sales, as sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 reached historic levels benefitting from delivery of the backlog built in prior periods. The decrease in delivered same-store sales was partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in sales from our retail store acquisitions that occurred in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024.
While delivered sales were down relative to the prior year, written same-store sales increased 2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, reflecting continued strong store-level execution with improved conversion and higher design sales despite challenging industry trends.
Same-store sales include the sales of all currently active stores which have been open and company-owned for each comparable period.
Operating Margin
The Retail segment's operating margin decreased 210 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
•Gross margin increased 130 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to prior period pricing actions taken by the Retail business which were realized in the first quarter of this fiscal year as products were delivered to consumers.
•SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased 340 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to lower delivered sales relative to selling expenses and fixed costs, mainly occupancy expenses.
Wholesale Segment

Operating margin |  | 7.0% |  | 5.9% |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Sales
The Wholesale segment’s sales decreased $108.3 million, or 25%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago. Over the same period, intercompany sales from our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment decreased 18%. The decrease in sales reflects a decline in delivered unit volume as the significant backlog built up in prior periods returns to pre-pandemic levels and the industry returns to typical seasonality. Partially offsetting lower volume, sales benefited from a favorable shift in product mix toward higher priced products.
Operating Margin
The Wholesale segment's operating margin increased 110 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.

Table of Contents
•Gross margin increased 470 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
◦Declining raw material costs drove a 400 basis point increase in gross margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
◦Gross margin further improved 120 basis points from a favorable shift in product mix during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
◦Unfavorable fluctuations in the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar, drove higher production-related costs for our manufacturing operations in Mexico, resulting in a 50 basis point decrease in gross margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
•SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased 360 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
◦Reduced fixed cost leverage and an increase in marketing expense, as a percentage of sales, contributed to higher SG&A expense as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
◦During the first quarter of fiscal 2024 we terminated our lease on the Torreón facility that was closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and recognized a $1.2 million gain related to the settlement of our lease obligation on the previously impaired long-lived assets, resulting in a 40 basis point decrease in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales.

Operating loss |  | (18,241) |  |  | (11,651) |  |  | (56.6)% |  |  |  |  |  |

Sales
Corporate and Other sales decreased $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago. The change in sales was primarily led by Joybird sales which decreased $7.1 million to $35.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, largely due to lower delivered volume resulting from continued demand challenges consistent with those recently experienced across the e-commerce home furnishings industry. Written sales for Joybird were also down 17% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago.
Intercompany eliminations decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago due to lower sales from our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment.
Operating Loss
Our Corporate and Other operating loss increased $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to higher intercompany inventory profit elimination adjustments, lower operating profit from our global trading company in Hong Kong, and higher Joybird operating losses, primarily resulting from lower sales volume and higher fixed costs, partially offset by lower input costs.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
Interest Income
Interest income was $2.6 million higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period a year ago, primarily driven by higher interest rates.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was $0.6 million of income in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to unrealized gains on investments and exchange rate gains. Other income (expense), net was de minimis in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 26.5% for both the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023. 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, including fiscal 2024 contractual obligations.
We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $340.3 million at July 29, 2023, compared with $346.7 million at April 29, 2023. In addition, we had investments to enhance our returns on cash of $10.6 million at July 29, 2023, compared with $11.6 million at April 29, 2023.

Operating Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $25.9 million, a decrease of $7.2 million compared with the prior year, mainly due to lower net income and less favorable changes to working capital, partially offset by a smaller reduction in customer deposits. Our cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2024 was primarily attributable to net income, adjusted for non-cash items, a $14.8 million decrease in receivables and a $9.3 million decrease in inventory as we align production with incoming order trends. This was partially offset by a $26.2 million decrease in other liabilities, primarily due to the payout of our fiscal 2023 incentive compensation awards during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 along with a $9.4 million decrease in customer deposits reflecting the reduced backlog.
Investing Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, net cash used for investing activities was $12.7 million, a decrease of $13.3 million compared with the prior year primarily due to lower capital expenditures and higher proceeds from asset sales. Cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2024 included the following:
•Cash used for capital expenditures in the period was $13.5 million compared with $21.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which is primarily related to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® (new stores and remodels) and upgrades at our manufacturing and distribution facilities. We anticipate that spending on these items will continue in fiscal 2024 with full year fiscal 2024 capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $50 to $60 million. We have no material contractual commitments outstanding for future capital expenditures.
•Cash used for acquisitions was $4.3 million, primarily related to the acquisition of the Colorado Springs, Colorado retail business.
Financing Activities
On October 15, 2021, we entered into a five-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. 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 an 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 July 29, 2023, 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 July 29, 2023, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash from operations, in addition to our available Credit Facility, will provide adequate liquidity for our business operations over the next 12 months.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, net cash used for financing activities was $19.9 million, an increase of $6.1 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher share repurchases. Cash used for financing activities in fiscal 2024 included the following:
•Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of company stock and we spent $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to repurchase 0.4 million shares. As of July 29, 2023, 6.9 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to this authorization. With the operating cash flows we anticipate generating in fiscal 2024, we expect to continue repurchasing Company stock.
•Cash paid to our shareholders in quarterly dividends was $7.9 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 increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended July 29, 2023. These changes slightly impacted our cash balances held in Canada, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
Other
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, there were no material changes to the information about our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 29, 2023. 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 29, 2023. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the quarter ended July 29, 2023.
