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 26, 2025 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 2025 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 25, 2026.

Note 2: Acquisitions

We did not complete any acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal 2026.

Prior Year Acquisitions

Each of the following Retail acquisitions completed in fiscal 2025 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 Store network.

Prior to each Retail acquisition completed in fiscal 2025, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy 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 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 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 the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill over 15 years.

Table of Contents

The acquisitions below were not significant to our consolidated financial statements, and therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented.

Melbourne and Cocoa, Florida Acquisition

On September 10, 2024, we completed our acquisition of the Melbourne and Cocoa, Florida businesses that operate two independently owned La-Z-Boy Stores and one distribution center for $11.4 million, inclusive of customary adjustments. The acquisition also included the purchase of buildings and land for both stores and the distribution center. We paid total cash of $11.3 million during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2025 and the remaining consideration included forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. As part of the acquisition, we recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $0.9 million related to the reacquired rights described above. We also recognized $1.7 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.

Davenport, Iowa Acquisition

On July 22, 2024, we completed our acquisition of the Davenport, Iowa business that operates one independently owned La-Z-Boy Store for $7.4 million, inclusive of customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $6.9 million during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2025 and the remaining consideration included forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. As part of the acquisition, we recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $1.7 million related to the reacquired rights described above. We also recognized $5.1 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired store and future benefits of these synergies.

Note 3: Inventories

A summary of inventories is as follows:


(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/25/2025		4/26/2025
Raw materials	$	129,721	$	128,823
Work in process	18,081		19,280

Excess of FIFO over LIFO	(46,614)		(46,614)
Total inventories	$	225,566	$	255,285

Note 4: Assets Held for Sale

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company committed to a plan to dispose a portion of our Casegoods wholesale business (the “disposal group”) within the next 6 months. Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell a disposal group and concludes that it meets all other relevant criteria in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As of October 25, 2025, we met the criteria to classify the following assets as held for sale:


(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/25/2025
Inventory	$	23,333
Property, plant and equipment, net	4,948
Intangible assets	1,155
Total assets held for sale	$	29,436

Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated or amortized. Any loss resulting from the measurement is recognized in the period the held for sale criteria are met while gains are not recognized until the date of sale. Upon classifying these assets as held for sale, we concluded that the total carrying value of the disposal group did not exceed its fair value and no impairment was recorded.

The disposal group does not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations as the disposition of a portion of the Casegoods business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Casegoods business currently operates within the Wholesale segment.

We test indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. We test amortizable intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.

Note 7: Debt

On October 15, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, the other agents and lenders named therein and the other parties thereto (as amended prior to July 1, 2025, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit sub-limit (the “Credit Facility”).

On July 1, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility from October 15, 2026 to July 1, 2030, (ii) increased the accordion basket for additional revolving commitments and/or incremental term loans from $100 million to $125 million, (iii) removed the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) credit spread adjustment, and (iv) decreased the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio required to be satisfied under the Company’s financial covenant.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility will mature on July 1, 2030, and provides us the ability to extend the maturity date for two additional one-year periods, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.

Table of Contents

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 October 25, 2025, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

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 sales volume and 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 five 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 also provide a limited lifetime warranty against defects on a majority of the 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				Six Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/25/2025		10/26/2024		10/25/2025 (1)		10/26/2024
Balance as of the beginning of the period	$	29,110	$	29,478	$	29,940	$	28,909

Accruals during the period	6,919		8,416		13,495		17,316
Settlements during the period	(6,878)		(8,342)		(14,284)		(16,673)
Change in warranty policy (2)	(5,606)		—		(5,606)		—
Balance as of the end of the period	$	23,545	$	29,552	$	23,545	$	29,552

(1)$16.9 million and $22.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of October 25, 2025, and April 26, 2025, respectively, while the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities.

(2)During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we implemented a change in which dealers are provided an upfront service allowance for certain labor and delivery costs that they cover under our Wholesale warranty program. As part of this change, dealers provide these warranty services on La-Z-Boy products that they sell, and have previously sold, resulting in an overall reduction in our warranty liability.

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: 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				Six Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/25/2025		10/26/2024		10/25/2025		10/26/2024
Equity-based awards expense	$	4,823	$	5,872	$	8,243	$	9,047
Liability-based awards expense (1)	(74)		(57)		(88)		104
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,749	$	5,815	$	8,155	$	9,151

(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. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we granted 263,509 shares of restricted stock units to employees 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

Table of Contents

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. 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 six months of fiscal 2026 was $38.24 per share, the market value of our common shares on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Units Issued to Directors. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we granted 29,224 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors. Restricted stock units granted to our non-employee directors are offered at no cost to the directors and restricted stock units granted following August 2022 vest on the earlier of the date a director ceases to be a member of the board (for any reason other than the termination of service for cause) or the one year anniversary of the grant date. 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 grant. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock units granted to our non-employee directors in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $36.96 per share.

Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we granted 182,671 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 2026 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $35.62, 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 valuation model, the fair value as of the grant date of the fiscal 2026 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $52.91.

Stock Options. We did not grant stock options to employees during the first six months of fiscal 2026, 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 11: 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.

Upholstered Furniture - Includes revenue for upholstered furniture, such as recliners, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, and ottomans. This revenue includes sales to La-Z-Boy Stores (including company-owned stores), operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® and branded space locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, other major dealers, independent retailers, and the end consumer.

Casegoods Furniture - Includes 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 revenue includes sales to La-Z-Boy 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 12: Segment Information

We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker, (the "CODM"), our Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.

Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of four operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands (American Drew®, Hammary®, and Kincaid®), and our international operating segment, which includes our international La-Z-Boy 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 Stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® and branded space 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 207 company-owned La-Z-Boy Stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other home furnishings 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 accounting, 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 omni-channel 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 online through its website, www.joybird.com, and through small-format stores in key markets. None of the operating segments included in Corporate and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

We use operating income to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Segment operating income is based on profit or loss from operations before interest expense, interest income, other income (expense), net and income taxes. The CODM assesses performance by regularly reviewing each segment's significant expense categories which include cost of sales, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 26, 2025. We account for intersegment revenue transactions between our segments consistent with independent third-party transactions, that is, at current market prices. As a result, the manufacturing profit related to sales to our Retail segment is included within the Wholesale segment. Operating income realized on intersegment revenue transactions is therefore generally consistent with the operating income realized on our revenue from independent third-party transactions.

Identifiable assets are cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, net inventories, net property, plant and equipment, right-of-use lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Our unallocated assets include deferred income taxes, corporate assets (including a portion of cash and equivalents), and various other assets. Asset information is regularly reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level and segment-level asset information is not used for purposes of making decisions, assessing financial performance, or allocating resources.

Note 13: Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 26.7% and 26.1% for second quarter and six months ended October 25, 2025, respectively, compared with 26.3% and 25.9% for second quarter and six months ended October 26, 2024. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" ("OBBBA"), was signed into law, making several provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the effects of changes in tax laws must be recognized in the period of enactment. Based on current assessments, the provisions of the new law are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. The OBBBA is expected to have a favorable impact on taxes payable due to accelerated tax deductions from the law changes relating to expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures and changes to bonus depreciation

Note 14: 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:

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 second quarter and six months ended October 25, 2025, we excluded options to purchase 0.2 million shares from the diluted share calculation. For the

second quarter and six months ended October 26, 2024 we did not exclude any outstanding options from the diluted share calculation.

Note 15: 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 October 25, 2025 and April 26, 2025. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for any of the periods presented.

Note 16: Subsequent Events

On October 28, 2025, we completed the acquisition of the Atlanta, GA, Northeast Florida, and Knoxville, TN businesses that operate 15 independently owned La-Z-Boy Stores and four distribution centers. We expect to pay $85.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to further customary adjustments. We will begin including the stores in our Retail segment results in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. We anticipate recording our initial purchase accounting, including the fair value measurements for acquired inventory, the indefinite-lived reacquired rights asset, and the goodwill acquired as part of this acquisition, when we report our financial results of our third quarter of fiscal 2026. This acquisition is not significant to our consolidated financial statements, and therefore, pro-forma financial information will not be presented.

Century Vision Strategy

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 leverage our consumer insights to develop and deliver on-trend upholstered furniture, particularly in the motion and reclining categories. We launched our brand campaign and marketing platform in fiscal 2024, Long Live the Lazy, with compelling, consumer inspired, messaging designed to increase recognition and consideration of the brand. We expect that this 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.

Table of Contents

•Growing our La-Z-Boy 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 Stores and opening new La-Z-Boy Stores where we see opportunity for growth, or where we believe we have opportunities for further market penetration.

•Expanding the reach of our wholesale distribution channels. Consumers experience the La-Z-Boy brand in many channels including the La-Z-Boy Store network, the La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, our store-within-a-store format, and La-Z-Boy branded space locations. 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 Store, La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio®, or La-Z-Boy branded space experience and provide design services. In addition to our branded distribution channels, approximately 1,900 other dealers sell La-Z-Boy products, which include some of the best-known names in the industry, providing us the benefit of multi-channel distribution. 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. Joybird is a leading omni-channel, direct to consumer retailer and manufacturer of upholstered furniture. We believe that Joybird is a brand with significant potential and our strategic initiatives in this area focus on fueling profitable growth through the opening of additional small-format stores in key markets, an increase in digital marketing spend to drive awareness and customer acquisition, ongoing investments in technology, and an expansion of product assortment.

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.

Reportable Segments

Our reportable operating segments include the Retail segment and the Wholesale segment.

•Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 207 company-owned La-Z-Boy Stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other home furnishings accessories, to end consumers through these stores.

•Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of four operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands (American Drew®, Hammary®, and Kincaid®), and our international operating segment, which includes our international La-Z-Boy 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 Stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® and branded space 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 accounting, 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 omni-channel 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 online through its website, www.joybird.com, and through small-format stores in key markets. None of the operating segments included in Corporate and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Compared with Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter

La-Z-Boy Incorporated


	Quarter Ended					Six Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except percentages)	10/25/2025		10/26/2024		% Change	10/25/2025		10/26/2024		% Change

Operating income	36,179		38,772		(6.7)%	58,166		71,142		(18.2)	%
Operating margin	6.9%		7.4%			5.7%		7.0%

Sales

Consolidated sales increased $1.5 million, or 0.3%, and decreased $1.9 million, or 0.2% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. Sales benefited from growth in our core North America La-Z-Boy branded wholesale business driven by strategic pricing and surcharge actions, increased sales from our retail store expansion, and incremental sales from our retail store acquisitions completed in the prior year. These increases were largely offset by the combination of lower delivered same-store sales in our Retail segment, along with lower delivered volume in our Joybird business. Additionally, lower delivered volume in our international wholesale businesses, due in part to a significant customer transition that began in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, negatively impacted sales in the first six months of fiscal 2026, and to a lesser extent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Operating Margin

Operating margin, which is calculated as operating income as a percentage of sales, decreased 50 basis points and 130 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

•Gross margin, which is calculated as gross profit as a percentage of sales, decreased 10 basis points and 30 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

◦Increased supply chain costs, including higher distribution costs related to our distribution and home delivery transformation, and increased overhead in our manufacturing operations, drove a decrease in gross margin in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 compared with the same periods a year ago.

◦Partially offsetting the item above, gross margin in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 benefited from lower input costs compared with the same periods a year ago, led by favorable inbound ocean freight and improved sourcing.

•SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 40 basis points and 100 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

◦SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased due to fixed cost deleverage in our Retail segment from lower delivered same-store sales combined with higher selling expenses and fixed costs resulting from our retail store expansion in support of our long-term strategy of growing our Retail segment.

◦Partially offsetting the item above, SG&A expense as a percentage of sales benefited from lower warranty expense due to a reduction in our warranty liability driven by a change in which we provide our external dealers an upfront service allowance for certain labor and delivery costs that they provide under our Wholesale warranty program for La-Z-Boy products that they sell and have previously sold.

We discuss each segment’s results in the following section.

Operating margin	10.7%		12.6%				8.6%		11.5%

Sales

The Retail segment’s sales increased $0.5 million, or 0.2%, and $5.3 million, or, 1% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. The increase was primarily due to increased sales from our retail store expansion, net of closed stores, along with $6.0 million and $14.1 million of incremental sales in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, resulting from our retail store acquisitions that occurred in fiscal 2025. These increases were largely and partially offset by a decline in delivered same-store sales during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively.

Total written sales increased 4% in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, compared with the same periods a year ago. Written same-store sales decreased 2% and 3% over the same periods, primarily due to lower consumer demand as a result of a challenging macroeconomic environment. Same-store sales include the sales of all currently active stores that have been open and company-owned for each comparable period.

Operating Margin

The Retail segment's operating margin decreased 190 basis points and 290 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

•Gross margin increased 100 basis points and 40 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily due to a favorable shift in product mix towards higher margin products.

•SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 290 basis points and 330 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily due to fixed cost deleverage from lower delivered same-store sales combined with increased selling expenses and fixed costs resulting from our retail store expansion of 10 net new stores over the last 12 months, supporting our long-term strategy of growing our Retail segment.

Sales

The Wholesale segment’s sales increased $5.5 million, or 2%, and $7.6 million, or 1% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, primarily due to growth in our core North America La-Z-Boy branded wholesale business led by strategic pricing and surcharge actions. The sales increase in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was partially offset by lower delivered volume in our international wholesale businesses, due in part to a significant customer transition that began in the second quarter fiscal 2025.

•Gross margin decreased 10 basis points and 40 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago

◦Increased distribution costs, primarily due to incremental expenses related to our distribution and home delivery transformation, drove a 70 basis point and 90 basis point decrease in gross margin in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

◦The first six months of fiscal 2026 also experienced higher manufacturing overhead costs, driving a 50 basis point decrease in gross margin compared with the same period a year ago.

Sales

Corporate and Other sales decreased $3.4 million and $10.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

Written sales for Joybird increased 1% and decreased 7.0% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago.

Intercompany eliminations increased slightly in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 compared with the same periods a year ago due to higher sales from our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment.

Operating Loss

Non-Operating Income (Expense)

Interest Income

Interest income was $0.2 million and $1.5 million lower in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. The decrease in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by lower interest rates.

Other Income, (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was $0.1 million and $0.6 million of expense in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with $1.9 million and $2.5 million of expense in the same periods a year ago. The expense in fiscal 2025 was primarily due to exchange rate losses related to our manufacturing and wholesale businesses in Thailand.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 26.7% and 26.1% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with 26.3% and 25.9% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively. 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 2026 contractual obligations.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $338.5 million at October 25, 2025, compared with $328.4 million at April 26, 2025. In addition, we had investments to enhance our returns on cash of $2.6 million at October 25, 2025 and April 26, 2025.

The following table illustrates the main components of our cash flows:


	Six Months Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands)	10/25/2025		10/26/2024
Cash Flows Provided By (Used For)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	86,324	$	68,253
Net cash used for investing activities	(38,810)		(45,526)
Net cash used for financing activities	(37,555)		(61,693)
Exchange rate changes	98		930
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	10,057	$	(38,036)

Operating Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $86.3 million, an increase of $18.1 million compared with the same period a year ago. The year over year increase was primarily due to lower inventory balances and higher customer deposits, partially offset by lower net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and a smaller reduction in receivables. Our cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to net income, adjusted for non-cash items, favorable changes to working capital, and higher customer deposits, partially offset by the payout of our fiscal 2025 incentive compensation award.

Investing Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash used for investing activities was $38.8 million, a decrease of $6.7 million compared with the same period a year ago, due to lower cash paid for acquisitions partially offset by higher capital expenditures, along with lower proceeds from the sale of investments, net of investment purchases.

Cash used for investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was mainly attributable to capital expenditures of $38.9 million, which were primarily related to La-Z-Boy Stores (new stores and remodels), manufacturing-related investments, and

spending related to our distribution and home delivery transformation. We anticipate that spending on these items will continue throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026, with full year fiscal 2026 capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $90 to $100 million. We have no material contractual commitments outstanding for future capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash used for financing activities was $37.6 million, a decrease of $24.1 million compared with the same period a year ago, primarily due to lower share repurchases, partially offset by reduced proceeds from exercised stock options. Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 included the following:

•Cash paid to our shareholders in quarterly dividends was $18.1 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 at the board's discretion.

•Cash paid to repurchase 0.3 million shares of company stock was $13.3 million. Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of Company stock and as of October 25, 2025, 3.4 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to this authorization.

•Cash paid for tax withholding on stock issued as part of our employee benefit plans, net of proceeds from exercised stock options, was $4.9 million.

As of October 25, 2025, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and 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.

Exchange Rate Changes

Due to changes in exchange rates, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended October 25, 2025. These changes impacted our cash balances held in Canada, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

Other

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, 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 26, 2025. 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.
