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 27, 2024 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 2024 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 26, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2025
The following table summarizes Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"), which were adopted in fiscal 2025, but did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU Description Adoption Date

Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
The following table summarizes additional accounting pronouncements which we have not yet adopted, but we believe will not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU Description Adoption Date
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures Fiscal 2026
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 2025 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 2025 and 2024 reflect a core component of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) in suitable geographic markets, alongside the existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® network.
Prior to each Retail acquisition completed in fiscal 2025 and 2024, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in each of their respective markets, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. These required rights are indefinite-lived because our retailer agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement date of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. For federal income tax purposes, we amortize and deduct these indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, if any, over 15 years.

Davenport, Iowa Acquisition
On July 22, 2024, we completed our acquisition of the Davenport, Iowa business that operates one independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® store for $ 7.4 million, inclusive of and subject to further customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $ 5.8 million during the first quarter 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.
Prior Year Acquisitions
Colorado Springs, Colorado Acquisition
On July 17, 2023, we completed our acquisition of the Colorado Springs, Colorado business that operates two independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® stores and one distribution center for $ 6.0 million, inclusive of customary adjustments. We paid total cash of $ 5.6 million during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024 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 $ 2.1 million related to the reacquired rights described above. We also recognized $ 2.2 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these synergies.
Note 3: Cash and Restricted Cash
At July 29, 2023, we had restricted cash on deposit with a bank as collateral for certain letters of credit that matured within 12 months. During fiscal 2024, we renewed these letters of credit and as of April 27, 2024, we were no longer required to hold restricted cash as collateral. All of our letters of credit have maturity dates within the next 12 months, and we expect to renew some of these letters of credit when they mature.

Note 7: Product Warranties
We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties when we recognize revenue on the sale of warrantied products. We estimate future warranty claims on product sales based on 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 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
11
T able of Contents
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

7/29/2023 (2)
Balance as of the beginning of the period $ 28,909 $ 30,984

Settlements during the period ( 8,331 ) ( 8,836 )
Balance as of the end of the period $ 29,478 $ 30,794
(1) $ 22.5 million and $ 22.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of July 27, 2024, and April 27, 2024, respectively, while the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities.
(2) Accruals and settlements for fiscal 2024 have been revised. The adjustments were offsetting and had no impact on the liability balance at the end of each reporting period in fiscal 2024 or the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of income for fiscal 2024.
We recorded accruals during the periods presented in the table above, primarily to reflect charges that relate to warranties issued during the respective periods.
Note 8: Stock-Based Compensation
The table below summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense we recognized for all outstanding grants in our consolidated statement of income:
Quarter Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 7/27/2024 7/29/2023
Equity-based awards expense $ 3,175 $ 2,526
Liability-based awards expense (1)
161 88
Total stock-based compensation expense $ 3,336 $ 2,614
(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 quarter of fiscal 2025, we granted 240,334 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 date our Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of our board of directors approved the awards. Restricted stock awards vest at 25 % per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years , with continued vesting upon retirement with respect to the fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 grants. We accelerate the expense for restricted stock granted to retirement-eligible employees over the vesting period, with expense recognized from the grant date through their retirement eligibility date or over the ten months following the grant date, whichever period is longer. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock that was awarded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $ 38.04 per share, the market value of our common shares on the date of grant.
Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we granted 163,888 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,
12
T able 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 2025 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $ 35.59 , the market value of our common shares on the date we granted the awards less the dividends we expect to pay before the shares vest. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we use a Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate each share’s fair value as of the date of grant. The Monte Carlo valuation model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected performance ranking relative to our peer group. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied. Based on the Monte Carlo model, the fair value as of the grant date of the fiscal 2025 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $ 54.67 .
Stock Options. We did not grant stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, but we have stock options outstanding from grants from prior years. We account for stock options as equity-based awards because when they are exercised, they will be settled in common shares. We recognize compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date our Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of our board of directors approved the awards. The vesting period for our stock options ranges from one to four years , with accelerated vesting upon retirement. The vesting date for retirement-eligible employees is the later of the date they meet the criteria for retirement or ten months after the grant date. We accelerate the expense for options granted to retirement eligible employees over the vesting period, with expense recognized from the grant date through their retirement eligibility date or over the ten months following the grant date, whichever period is longer. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. Granted options outstanding under the former long-term equity award plan remain in effect and have a term of 10 years. We estimated the fair value of the employee stock options granted in prior years at their respective grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions.

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

Contract Assets and Liabilities. We receive customer deposits from end consumers before we recognize revenue and in some cases, we have the unconditional right to collect the remaining portion of the order price before we fulfill our performance obligation, resulting in a contract asset and a corresponding deferred revenue liability. In our consolidated balance sheet, customer deposits and deferred revenue (collectively, the "contract liabilities") are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities while contract assets are reported as other current assets.
The following table presents our contract assets and liabilities:
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) 7/27/2024 4/27/2024

Note 11: Segment Information
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 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 188 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries ® 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 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, and through small-format stores in key urban markets. None of the operating segments included in Corporate and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

Note 12: Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 25.5 % for the quarter ended July 27, 2024, compared with 26.5 % for the quarter ended July 29, 2023. The reduced effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was partially the result of tax benefits from the vesting of stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21 % federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.

Note 13: Earnings per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators we used in our computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:
Quarter Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share data) 7/27/2024 7/29/2023
Numerator (basic and diluted):
Net income available to common Shareholders $ 26,159 $ 27,479
Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 42,052 43,239
Contingent common shares 351 54
Stock option dilution 161 40
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 42,564 43,333
Earnings per Share:
Basic $ 0.62 $ 0.64
Diluted (1)
$ 0.61 $ 0.63
(1) Diluted earnings per share was computed using the treasury stock 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 quarters ended July 27, 2024 and July 29, 2023, we excluded options to purchase 0.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares from the diluted share calculation, respectively.
Note 14: Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards require that we put financial assets and liabilities into one of three categories based on the inputs we use to value them:
• Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
• Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or on model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
• Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Accounting standards require that in making fair value measurements, we use observable market data when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, we categorize the fair value measurement as being in the lowest level that is significant to the measurement. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
In addition to assets and liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We measure non-financial assets such as other intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived assets at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and we record them at fair value only when we recognize an impairment loss.

(1) Certain marketable securities investments are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology.
At July 27, 2024 and April 27, 2024, we held marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of certain retirement plans.
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.
