HNI (NYSE: HNI) announced it will close its manufacturing plant in Hickory, North Carolina, in the first half of 2025. The production will be consolidated into other North American facilities to enhance productivity and operational strength. HNI anticipates annual cost savings of approximately $11 million by 2026, with $8-$9 million realized in 2025. The consolidation, enabled partly by the integration of Kimball International (acquired in June 2023), will incur charges affecting pre-tax earnings by about $10.3 million in 2024 and 2025. Around 200 employees will be impacted by the closure. HNI will retain a commercial presence in Hickory through its HBF brand.
HNI (NYSE: HNI) has announced an increase in its quarterly dividend to 33 cents per share on its common stock, payable on June 12, 2024. Shareholders of record by the close of business on May 24, 2024, will be eligible to receive the dividend. HNI, a company with more than 75 years of history, operates through two main segments: Workplace Furnishings and Residential Building Products. The first is a global designer and provider of commercial furnishings, while the latter is a leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products including fireplaces and stoves.

Workplace Furnishings operating margin expanded by 730 bps GAAP and 720 bps non-GAAP YoY. Full-year and second quarter 2024 non-GAAP EPS expected to increase significantly YoY. Sales for Q1 were $588.0 million with net income of $17.7 million. The acquisition of Kimball International contributed to strong results, with estimates of $0.10 to non-GAAP EPS.
