The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. 8 Table of Contents 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 30, 2022 balance sheet from our audited financial statements. We prepared the interim financial information in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which we applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but the information does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In management’s opinion, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed), that are necessary for a fair statement of results for the respective interim periods. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the full fiscal year ending April 29, 2023. At January 28, 2023, we owned investments in two privately-held companies consisting of non-marketable preferred shares, warrants to purchase common shares, and convertible notes. Each of these companies is a variable interest entity and we have not consolidated their results in our financial statements because we do not have the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and, therefore, are not the primary beneficiary. Accounting pronouncements adopted in fiscal 2023 We did not adopt any Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted The following table summarizes additional accounting pronouncements which we have not yet adopted, but we believe will not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ASU Description Adoption Date ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers Fiscal 2024 Torreón Closure During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we made the decision to close our manufacturing facility in Torreón, Mexico as part of our initiative to drive improved efficiencies through optimized staffing levels within our plants. Torreón was the last facility to begin operating as part of our broader Mexico manufacturing expansion in fiscal 2021 and 2022 and accounted for approximately 3 % of our La-Z-Boy branded production. As a result of this action, charges were recorded within the Wholesale segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $ 9.2 million in selling, general, and administrative expense for the impairment of various assets, primarily long-lived assets, and $ 0.9 million in cost of sales, primarily related to severance. To determine the impairment of our long-lived assets, which included fixed assets utilized by the facility and the right-of-use-lease asset, we calculated the fair value of the Torreón asset group using the income approach based on the expected future cash flows associated with the facility, primarily those associated with an assumed sublease. Based on this evaluation, we recorded an impairment charge as the difference between the asset group's fair value and its carrying value. 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 2023 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 2023 and 2022 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. 9 Table of Contents Barboursville, West Virginia acquisition On December 12, 2022, we completed our acquisition of the Barboursville, West Virginia business that operates one independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® store. This acquisition did not have a meaningful impact on our consolidated financial statements. Spokane, Washington acquisition On September 26, 2022, we completed our acquisition of the Spokane, Washington business that operates one independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® store and one distribution center for $ 4.7 million, subject to customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $ 4.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and the remaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Spokane, Washington market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $ 1.2 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $ 3.0 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. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years. 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. Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Denver, Colorado market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $ 4.3 million related to these reacquired rights. 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. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years. Prior Year Acquisitions Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee acquisition On December 6, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee businesses that operate four independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores in Alabama and one in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for $ 8.3 million, subject to customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $ 8.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the remaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee markets, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $ 4.1 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $ 7.4 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years. 10 Table of Contents Furnico (La-Z-Boy United Kingdom Manufacturing) acquisition On October 25, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Furnico Furniture Ltd ("Furnico"), an upholstery manufacturing business in the U.K for approximately $ 13.3 million, subject to customary adjustments and in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2022, we paid $ 13.9 million of cash for the purchase of the Furnico business. Furnico produces La-Z-Boy branded product for the La-Z-Boy U.K. business and also operates a wholesale business, selling white label products to key U.K. retailers. With this acquisition, we expect to realize production synergies, cost savings through materials procurement, and increases in production capacity to support growth in the La-Z-Boy U.K business. We recognized $ 9.2 million of goodwill in our Wholesale segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired business and future benefits of these synergies. The goodwill asset for Furnico is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Long Island, New York acquisition On August 16, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the Long Island, New York business that operates three independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores for $ 4.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. We paid $ 4.4 million of cash during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and the remaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and payments based on working capital adjustments. Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Long Island, New York market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $ 0.8 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $ 4.4 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years. Note 3: Cash and Restricted Cash We have restricted cash on deposit with a bank as collateral for certain letters of credit. All our letters of credit have maturity dates within the next twelve months, but we expect to renew some of these letters of credit when they mature.

Our short-term investments are included in other current assets and our long-term investments are included in other long-term assets on our consolidated balance sheet. 12 Table of Contents The following summarizes our investments: (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 4/30/2022 Short-term investments: Marketable securities $ 10,911 $ 16,022 Held-to-maturity investments 1,404 1,337 Total short-term investments 12,315 17,359 Long-term investments: Marketable securities 19,756 26,599 Cost basis investments 7,579 7,579 Total long-term investments 27,335 34,178 Total investments $ 39,650 $ 51,537 Investments to enhance returns on cash $ 15,793 $ 27,239 Investments to fund compensation/retirement plans 13,542 14,219 Other investments 10,315 10,079 Total investments $ 39,650 $ 51,537 The following is a summary of the unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and fair value by investment type: 1/28/2023 4/30/2022 (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Equity securities $ 1,316 $ ( 94 ) $ 14,213 $ 1,448 $ ( 86 ) $ 13,905 Fixed income 45 ( 715 ) 21,201 28 ( 809 ) 33,521 Other 1,210 — 4,236 1,250 — 4,111 Total securities $ 2,571 $ ( 809 ) $ 39,650 $ 2,726 $ ( 895 ) $ 51,537 The following table summarizes sales of marketable securities: Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 Proceeds from sales $ 5,514 $ 7,784 $ 18,178 $ 29,437 Gross realized gains 3 142 52 696 Gross realized losses ( 81 ) ( 20 ) ( 207 ) ( 356 ) The following is a summary of the fair value of fixed income marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale securities, by contractual maturity: (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 Within one year $ 10,907 Within two to five years 7,836 Within six to ten years 572 Thereafter 1,886 Total $ 21,201 13 Table of Contents Note 7: Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 4/30/2022 Payroll and other compensation $ 59,534 $ 62,373 Accrued product warranty, current portion 18,517 16,436 Customer deposits 129,019 183,233 Deferred revenue 60,986 139,006 Other current liabilities 77,304 95,345 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 345,360 $ 496,393 Customer deposits and deferred revenue decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as we continue to work down the backlog built up in prior periods back to pre-pandemic levels. Note 8: Product Warranties We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties when we recognize revenue on the sale of warrantied products. We estimate future warranty claims on product sales based on our historical claims experience and periodically adjust the provision to reflect changes in actual experience. We incorporate repair costs into our liability estimates, including materials, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform repairs, and any costs associated with delivering repaired product to our customers. Over 90 % of our warranty liability relates to our Wholesale reportable segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one 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 Nine Months Ended (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 1/28/2023 (1) 1/22/2022 Balance as of the beginning of the period $ 28,357 $ 25,068 $ 27,036 $ 23,636 Acquisitions — 634 — 634 Accruals during the period 8,663 7,271 24,942 21,158 Settlements during the period ( 7,722 ) ( 6,612 ) ( 22,680 ) ( 19,067 ) Balance as of the end of the period $ 29,298 $ 26,361 $ 29,298 $ 26,361 (1) $ 18.5 million and $ 16.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of January 28, 2023, and April 30, 2022, respectively, while the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities. We recorded accruals during the periods presented in the table above, primarily to reflect charges that relate to warranties issued during the respective periods. Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation The table below summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense we recognized for all outstanding grants in our consolidated statement of income: Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 Equity-based awards expense $ 3,377 $ 2,533 $ 8,456 $ 8,887 Liability-based awards expense (1) ( 54 ) ( 73 ) 92 ( 696 ) Total stock-based compensation expense $ 3,323 $ 2,460 $ 8,548 $ 8,191 (1) Liability-based awards are comprised primarily of deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date and is remeasured each reporting period based on the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reported period. 14 Table of Contents Stock Options. We granted 318,411 stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and we have stock options outstanding from previous grants. We account for stock options as equity-based awards because when they are exercised, they will be settled in common shares. We recognize compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date the 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. We estimate the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was calculated using the following assumptions: (Unaudited) Fiscal 2023 grant Assumption Risk-free interest rate 2.87 % U.S. Treasury issues with term equal to expected life at grant date Dividend rate 2.70 % Estimated future dividend rate and common share price at grant date Expected life 5.0 years Contractual term of stock option and expected employee exercise trends Stock price volatility 42.78 % Historical volatility of our common shares Fair value per option $ 7.90 Restricted Stock . We granted 256,128 shares of restricted stock units to employees during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and we also have restricted stock awards outstanding from previous grants. We issue restricted stock at no cost to 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 the Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of our board of directors approved the awards. Restricted stock awards generally vest at 25 % per year, beginning one year from the grant date over a term of four years , with continued vesting upon retirement with respect to the fiscal 2023 grants. 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 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 nine months of fiscal 2023 was $ 24.58 per share, the market value of our common shares on the dates of grant. Restricted Stock Units Issued to Directors. Restricted stock units granted to our non-employee directors are offered at no cost to the directors and vest 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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we granted 36,656 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors. 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, which was $ 26.19 . Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we granted 240,833 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, 15 Table of Contents 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 2023 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $ 22.43 , the market value of our common shares on the date we granted the awards less the value of the dividends we expect to pay shareholders 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 2023 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $ 36.63 .

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. 17 Table of Contents The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by product category and by segment or unit: Quarter Ended January 28, 2023 Quarter Ended January 22, 2022 (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) Wholesale Retail Corporate and Other Total Wholesale Retail Corporate and Other Total Motion Upholstery Furniture $ 224,726 $ 153,194 $ 5 $ 377,925 $ 238,119 $ 113,767 $ 288 $ 352,174 Stationary Upholstery Furniture 97,736 52,497 35,248 185,481 94,216 46,938 55,971 197,125 Bedroom Furniture 9,853 2,189 3,121 15,163 6,723 1,598 3,674 11,995 Dining Room Furniture 6,926 3,300 1,025 11,251 5,562 2,802 1,063 9,427 Occasional Furniture 11,550 9,567 875 21,992 7,396 6,672 1,153 15,221 Delivery 50,008 6,881 1,654 58,543 45,168 6,342 2,097 53,607 Other (1) 6,804 23,529 ( 8,418 ) 21,915 26,097 18,933 ( 14,267 ) 30,763 Total $ 407,603 $ 251,157 $ 33,510 $ 692,270 $ 423,281 $ 197,052 $ 49,979 $ 670,312 Eliminations ( 119,547 ) ( 98,739 ) Consolidated Net Sales $ 572,723 $ 571,573 Nine Months Ended January 28, 2023 Nine Months Ended January 22, 2022 (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) Wholesale Retail Corporate and Other Total Wholesale Retail Corporate and Other Total Motion Upholstery Furniture $ 683,809 $ 444,110 $ 64 $ 1,127,983 $ 699,433 $ 326,251 $ 538 $ 1,026,222 Stationary Upholstery Furniture 307,128 162,452 132,869 602,449 284,318 133,449 153,590 571,357 Bedroom Furniture 30,145 6,590 12,361 49,096 30,030 5,386 10,524 45,940 Dining Room Furniture 21,778 9,343 3,864 34,985 20,941 9,462 3,270 33,673 Occasional Furniture 34,957 25,300 3,065 63,322 31,746 19,659 2,966 54,371 Delivery 162,783 20,727 5,657 189,167 128,318 20,007 5,629 153,954 Other (1) 55,052 70,808 ( 32,003 ) 93,857 61,086 57,105 ( 37,891 ) 80,300 Total $ 1,295,652 $ 739,330 $ 125,877 $ 2,160,859 $ 1,255,872 $ 571,319 $ 138,626 $ 1,965,817 Eliminations ( 372,713 ) ( 293,572 ) Consolidated Net Sales $ 1,788,146 $ 1,672,245 (1) Primarily includes revenue for advertising, royalties, parts, accessories, after-treatment products, surcharges, discounts and allowances, rebates and other sales incentives.

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: (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 4/30/2022 Contract assets $ 60,986 $ 139,006 Customer deposits $ 129,019 $ 183,233 Deferred revenue 60,986 139,006 Total contract liabilities (1) $ 190,005 $ 322,239 (1) During the nine months ended January 28, 2023, we recognized revenue of $ 292.7 million related to our contract liability balance at April 30, 2022. Note 12: Segment Information Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment. Wholesale Segment . Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands: American Drew ® , Hammary ® and Kincaid ® . The Wholesale segment also includes our international wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture, such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio ® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers. Retail Segment . Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 167 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other accessories, to end consumers through these stores. Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy ® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an e-commerce retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture, such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer primarily online through its website, www.joybird.com. None of the operating segments included in Corporate & Other meet the requirements of reportable segments. 19 Table of Contents The following table presents sales and operating income (loss) by segment: Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 Sales Wholesale segment: Sales to external customers $ 291,170 $ 328,533 $ 934,511 $ 973,973 Intersegment sales 116,433 94,748 361,141 281,899 Wholesale segment sales 407,603 423,281 1,295,652 1,255,872 Retail segment sales 251,157 197,052 739,330 571,319 Corporate and Other: Sales to external customers 30,396 45,988 114,305 126,953 Intersegment sales 3,114 3,991 11,572 11,673 Corporate and Other sales 33,510 49,979 125,877 138,626 Eliminations ( 119,547 ) ( 98,739 ) ( 372,713 ) ( 293,572 ) Consolidated sales $ 572,723 $ 571,573 $ 1,788,146 $ 1,672,245 Operating Income (Loss) Wholesale segment $ 16,940 $ 27,639 $ 81,558 $ 89,098 Retail segment 44,203 24,102 123,855 68,502 Corporate and Other ( 18,303 ) ( 12,254 ) ( 48,047 ) ( 29,629 ) Consolidated operating income 42,840 39,487 157,366 127,971 Interest expense ( 136 ) ( 160 ) ( 414 ) ( 713 ) Interest income 2,012 806 3,624 1,029 Other income (expense), net ( 1,062 ) ( 1,460 ) ( 834 ) ( 522 ) Income before income taxes $ 43,654 $ 38,673 $ 159,742 $ 127,765 Note 13: Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 27.7 % and 26.6 % for the third quarter and nine months ended January 28, 2023, respectively, compared with 24.8 % and 25.9 % for the third quarter and nine months ended January 22, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 was lower partially due to non-taxable gains on corporate owned life insurance and state taxes. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21 % federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes. 20 Table of Contents 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: Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended (Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share data) 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 1/28/2023 1/22/2022 Numerator (basic and diluted): Net income attributable to La-Z-Boy Incorporated $ 31,726 $ 28,467 $ 116,291 $ 92,549 Income allocated to participating securities (1) — — — ( 6 ) Net income available to common Shareholders $ 31,726 $ 28,467 $ 116,291 $ 92,543 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 43,137 43,701 43,111 44,342 Contingent common shares — 55 — 59 Stock option dilution — 212 — 239 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 43,137 43,968 43,111 44,640 Earnings per Share: Basic $ 0.74 $ 0.65 $ 2.70 $ 2.09 Diluted $ 0.74 $ 0.65 $ 2.70 $ 2.07 (1) Prior to fiscal 2019, we granted restricted stock awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares, and we are required to include these participating securities in calculating our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method. The values for contingent common shares set forth above reflect the dilutive effect of common shares that we would have issued to employees under the terms of performance-based share awards if the relevant performance period for the award had been the reporting period. We exclude the effect of options from our diluted share calculation when the weighted average exercise price of the options is higher than the average market price, since including the options' effect would be anti-dilutive. For the third quarter and nine months ended January 28, 2023, we excluded options to purchase 1.5 million shares from the diluted share calculation. For the third quarter and nine months ended January 22, 2022, we excluded options to purchase 0.2 million shares from the diluted share calculation. 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. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for additional information. 21 Table of Contents The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for any of the periods presented. At January 28, 2023 Fair Value Measurements (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV(1) Total Assets Marketable securities $ — $ 21,044 $ 2,737 $ 6,886 $ 30,667 Held-to-maturity investments 1,404 — — — 1,404 Cost basis investments — — 7,579 — 7,579 Total assets $ 1,404 $ 21,044 $ 10,316 $ 6,886 $ 39,650 At April 30, 2022 Fair Value Measurements (Unaudited, amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV(1) Total Assets Marketable securities $ — $ 33,578 $ 2,500 $ 6,543 $ 42,621 Held-to-maturity investments 1,337 — — — 1,337 Cost basis investment — — 7,579 — 7,579 Total assets $ 1,337 $ 33,578 $ 10,079 $ 6,543 $ 51,537 Liabilities Contingent consideration liability $ — $ — $ 800 $ — $ 800 (1) Certain marketable securities investments are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology. At January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, 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. We also held other fixed income and cost basis investments. The fair value measurements for our Level 1 and Level 2 securities are based on quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs. At January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, our Level 3 assets included investments in two privately-held companies consisting of non-marketable preferred shares, warrants to purchase common shares, and convertible notes. The fair value of these equity investments (preferred shares and warrants) is not readily determinable and therefore, we estimate the fair value as cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments with the same issuer. The convertible notes are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income, consistent with our other available-for-sale debt securities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we invested an additional $ 0.2 million in convertible notes in one of these privately-held start-up companies. There were no other changes to the fair value of our Level 3 assets during the nine months ended January 28, 2023. Our Level 3 liability includes our contingent consideration liability resulting from the Joybird acquisition. The fair value is determined using a variation of the income approach, known as the real options method, whereby revenue and earnings are simulated over the earnout periods in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric Brownian Motion. For each simulation path, the potential earnout payments were calculated based on management’s probability estimates for achievement of the revenue and earnings milestones and then were discounted to the valuation date using a discount rate of 6.8 %. The fair value of our contingent consideration liability as of January 28, 2023 reflects our expectation that no additional consideration will be owed based on our most recent financial projections and the terms of the earnout agreement. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we reduced the fair value of the contingent consideration liability by its full carrying value of $ 0.8 million which was recorded as a favorable impact to selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of income. There were no other changes to the fair value of our Level 3 liabilities during the nine months ended January 28, 2023. 22 Table of Contents
