Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HNI Corporation (HNI) delivered a stronger second-quarter FY 2025. Net sales climbed 7% year-on-year to $667.1 million, led by 7.4% growth in Workplace Furnishings and 5.3% in Residential Building Products. Gross margin expanded 100 bp to 42.9% and operating margin improved 160 bp to 10.2%, lifting operating income 28% to $68.2 million.

Net income attributable to shareholders rose 34% to $48.2 million ($1.02 diluted EPS, +36%). For 1H 2025, revenue increased 4.6% to $1.27 billion while diluted EPS advanced 18% to $1.31.

Operating cash flow was $43.7 million (-7% YoY). The company spent $79.8 million repurchasing 1.7 million shares and invested $31.2 million in capex. Long-term debt reached $444.4 million (vs. $344.6 million at FY-24) as revolver borrowings rose to $195.6 million; cash ended at $32.0 million. Interest expense decreased to $6.1 million on lower average rates and balances.

During the quarter HNI divested its HNI India unit, booking a $6.4 million pre-tax loss within restructuring and divestiture costs. The board raised the quarterly dividend 3% to $0.34 per share. Management continues to pursue margin-expansion initiatives, Kimball International integration synergies, and factory optimization.

Insights

TL;DR – EPS up 36% and margins widen; top-line grows 7%; leverage higher but overall quarter positive.

Revenue acceleration and disciplined cost control pushed operating margin to 10.2%, the highest in recent years. EPS of $1.02 handily outpaced prior-year $0.75, helped by share buybacks and lower interest expense. Workplace Furnishings achieved 12.8% margin as Kimball synergies and Mexico capacity gains flowed through. Residential Building Products also expanded margin to 15.7% despite housing softness. Free cash generation covered dividend and part of buybacks, yet revolver draws lifted total debt 29% since year-end. Management remains within covenant limits and retains full $425 m revolver capacity. Overall, fundamentals improved; watch leverage trajectory and post-divestiture growth.

TL;DR – Profitability better, but debt up $100 m and covenant cushion narrows; outlook neutral.

Long-term debt increased to $444 m, pushing leverage toward the 3.5× ceiling, though still compliant. Interest-coverage ratio remains healthy at >4× after expense fell 18%. Revolver utilisation nearly quadrupled to $196 m, signalling dependence on short-term bank funding. Positive factors include strong margins, reduced pension liabilities and the payoff of 4.2% notes. Liquidity is solid with $425 m revolver availability and $32 m cash, but ongoing buybacks and capex could strain coverage if demand moderates. From a credit perspective, stable but not materially improved.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 28, 2025

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of HNI Corporation (individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Corporation") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 28, 2024 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2026 or for any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All dollar amounts presented are in millions, except per share data or where otherwise indicated. Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by product category is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024		June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024
Systems, storage, and tables	$	322.0	$	290.7	$	597.2	$	570.3
Seating	149.7		145.4		283.3		271.4
Other(1)	44.2		44.0		76.5		78.3
Total workplace furnishings	516.0		480.2		957.0		920.0

Residential building products	151.1		143.5		309.8		291.7
Net sales	$	667.1	$	623.7	$	1,266.8	$	1,211.7

(1) The other category consists of education-specific furnishings, architectural products, workspace accessories, and miscellaneous product lines and services.

Sales by product category are subject to similar economic factors and market conditions. See "Note 14. Reportable Segment Information" for further information about operating segments.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation has contract assets consisting of funds paid up-front to certain workplace furnishings dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s products. These contract assets are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of customer deposits and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

Contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows:


	June 28, 2025		December 28, 2024
Trade receivables (1)	$	292.4	$	248.4
Contract assets (current) (2)	$	2.9	$	3.2
Contract assets (long-term) (3)	$	27.1	$	26.2
Contract liabilities - Customer deposits (4)	$	32.4	$	42.1
Contract liabilities - Accrued rebate and marketing programs (4)	$	28.3	$	25.4

The decrease in customer deposits compared to the prior year end was driven by project fulfillment timing in the hospitality customer channel.

The index below indicates the line items in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported:

(1) "Receivables"

(2) "Prepaid expenses and other current assets"

(3) "Other Assets"

(4) "Accounts payable and accrued expenses"

Contract liabilities for customer deposits paid to the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligations. The contract liability balance related to customer deposits was $42.1 million as of December 28, 2024, of which $32.5 million was recognized as revenue in the six-month period ended June 28, 2025.

Note 3. Divestitures

In April 2025, the Corporation closed on the sale of its HNI India business, which was a component of the workplace furnishings segment, to Kokuyo Co., Ltd. The Corporation received $9.5 million in gross cash proceeds, $8.5 million net of cash and transaction fees, which was structured as a stock sale. During the first three months of 2025, the Corporation recognized a $6.4 million pre-tax loss on the sale which is included in "Restructuring, impairment, and loss on divestiture" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Included in the loss is a cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $5.7 million that was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, and transaction-related expenses of $0.6 million.

The assets and liabilities of HNI India which were included with the sale are as follows:



	As of April 28, 2025
Assets:
Cash	$	0.8
Receivables	9.5
Inventories	2.7
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	0.8
Property, plant & equipment	4.0
Right-of-use operating leases	0.4

Total Assets	$	18.2

Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	7.4
Current maturities of debt	0.5
Lease obligations - operating	0.4
Total Liabilities	$	8.3

Note 4. Inventories

The Corporation’s residential building products inventories, and a majority of its workplace furnishings inventories, are valued at cost, on the "last-in, first-out" (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. Inventories included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:


	June 28, 2025			December 28, 2024

Finished products, net	$	136.0		$	122.4
Materials and work in process, net	131.2			119.5
LIFO allowance	(50.6)			(47.5)
Total inventories, net	$	216.5		$	194.3

Inventory valued by the LIFO costing method	96		%	91		%

The year-to-date increase in the net inventory balance was driven by seasonality in the workplace furnishings segment.

In addition to the LIFO allowance, the Corporation recorded inventory allowances reducing finished products, materials, and work in process of $11.6 million and $12.1 million as of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, to adjust for excess and obsolete inventory or otherwise reduce FIFO-basis inventory to net realizable value.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:


	June 28, 2025		December 28, 2024
Goodwill, net	$	442.1	$	442.1
Definite-lived intangible assets, net	119.3		133.1
Indefinite-lived intangible assets	49.1		49.1
Total goodwill and other intangible assets, net	$	610.6	$	624.3

Goodwill

The activity in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reporting segment, was as follows:


	Workplace Furnishings		Residential Building Products		Total

Accumulated impairment losses	(78.5)		(0.1)		(78.6)
Net goodwill balance as of December 28, 2024	219.8		222.3		442.1

Accumulated impairment losses	(64.6)		(0.1)		(64.7)
Net goodwill balance as of June 28, 2025	$	219.8	$	222.3	$	442.1

Goodwill and accumulated impairment losses derecognized in the current year relate to the sale of the HNI India business during the second quarter of 2025. See "Note 3. Divestitures" for further information.

Definite-lived intangible assets

The table below summarizes amortizable definite-lived intangible assets, which are reflected in "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	June 28, 2025						December 28, 2024
	Gross		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Gross		Accumulated Amortization		Net

Software	$	188.3	$	158.7	$	29.6	$	189.3	$	151.3	$	38.0
Trademarks and trade names	17.9		8.9		8.9		17.9		8.3		9.5
Customer lists and other	139.7		58.9		80.9		139.7		54.3		85.5
Net definite-lived intangible assets	$	345.9	$	226.5	$	119.3	$	346.9	$	213.9	$	133.1

Amortization expense is reflected in "Selling and administrative expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024		June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024
Capitalized software	$	4.7	$	5.2	$	9.4	$	10.4
Other definite-lived intangibles	$	2.6	$	2.6	$	5.2	$	5.2

The occurrence of events such as acquisitions, dispositions, or impairments may impact future amortization expense. Over the next several years, amortization expense is expected to decline due primarily to the completion of the amortization of the Corporation's Business Systems Transformation investment. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the following five years is as follows:


	2025		2026		2027		2028		2029
Amortization expense	$	28.4	$	23.5	$	17.3	$	9.0	$	8.9

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

The Corporation also owns certain intangible assets, which are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are reflected in "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	June 28, 2025		December 28, 2024
Trademarks and trade names	$	49.1	$	49.1

Impairment Analysis

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Corporation also evaluates long-lived assets (which include definite-lived intangible assets) for impairment if indicators exist. No impairment triggers were identified that warranted further impairment analysis in the current period.

Note 6. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its workplace furnishings and residential building products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. The duration of warranty policies on the Corporation’s products varies based on the type of product. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation’s warranty programs.

A warranty allowance is determined by recording a specific allowance for known warranty issues and an additional allowance for unknown claims expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ materially from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance.

Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows:


	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024
Balance at beginning of period	$	17.5	$	18.0

Settlements and other	(6.7)		(7.1)

Balance at end of period	$	17.2	$	19.0

The current and long-term portions of the allowance for estimated settlements are included within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" and "Other Long-Term Liabilities," respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes when these estimated settlements are expected to be paid:


	June 28, 2025		December 28, 2024

The aggregate carrying value of the Corporation’s variable-rate, long-term debt obligations under the revolving credit and term loan facilities at June 28, 2025 was $396 million, which approximated fair value. The fair value of the fixed-rate notes was estimated based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 2) to be $49 million at June 28, 2025.

As of June 28, 2025, the Corporation’s revolving credit facility borrowings were drawn under the amended and restated credit agreement entered into on June 14, 2022, as further amended on March 14, 2023 and June 1, 2023, with a scheduled maturity of June 14, 2027. The Corporation deferred the related debt issuance costs, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of debt issuance costs of $0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months, based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 28, 2025, $196 million of borrowings were outstanding under the $425 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility is considered long-term as the Corporation assumes no obligation to repay any of the amounts borrowed in the next twelve months. Based on consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, for the last four fiscal quarters, the Corporation can access the full $425 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility, which includes the $196 million outstanding as of June 28, 2025, and maintain compliance with the financial covenants under the facility described below.

In addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of daily operating capital for the Corporation and provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock, and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

As of June 28, 2025, the Corporation had $200 million principal amount of borrowings outstanding under a term loan agreement entered into on March 31, 2023, as amended on May 25, 2023. The initial $300 million of proceeds from the term loan were used to support funding of the Corporation's acquisition of Kimball International on June 1, 2023. In May 2024 and September 2024, the Corporation separately executed an aggregated $100 million of voluntary early repayments of the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to finance the early repayments. The term loan is subject to principal amortization which began on June 30, 2024. As a result of the early repayments executed by the Corporation, all of the principal amortization requirements have been satisfied and no additional principal payments are required until maturity in March 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the agreement, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt, and is amortizing them over the term of the agreement. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the agreement. As of June 28, 2025, the deferred debt issuance costs balance of $1.1 million related to the agreement is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 28, 2025, the Corporation also had $50 million principal amount of borrowings outstanding under a private placement note agreement entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreement, the Corporation issued $50 million of ten-year fixed-rate notes with an interest rate of 4.4 percent, due May 31, 2028. The principal amount is classified as "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreement, which are classified as reductions of long-term debt, and is amortizing them over the term of the private placement note agreement. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreement. As of June 28, 2025, the remaining deferred debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements were not material and are reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 28, 2025, due to current market rates, the Corporation would not owe material amounts to the note holders on early payment under a make-whole provision.

As of May 31, 2025, the Corporation repaid the $50 million principal amount of matured seven-year fixed-rate notes with an interest rate of 4.2 percent issued under a private placement note agreement entered into on May 31, 2018. The repayment was financed through borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility, term loan credit facility, and private placement notes all contain financial and non-financial covenants. Non-compliance with covenants under the agreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, and/or increase the cost of borrowing. The covenants under all the agreements are substantially the same. In the event that the remaining $50 million principal amount of the 10-year private placement notes is repaid by the Corporation, certain fall-away provisions in the revolving credit facility and term loan credit facility will allow for modification of the covenant measures whereby the Corporation would have increased financial flexibility. In such an event, the definitions of consolidated EBITDA and the maximum leverage under the consolidated leverage ratio would adjust to become less restrictive, while the interest coverage ratio would no longer be an included measure.

The Corporation is subject to financial covenants requiring it to maintain the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter:

•a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreements) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and

•a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreements) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The more restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0. Under the credit agreements, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash items that increase or decrease net income. As of June 28, 2025, the Corporation was in compliance with the financial covenants.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Corporation’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The following table summarizes the Corporation’s income tax provision:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025			June 29, 2024			June 28, 2025			June 29, 2024
Income before income taxes	$	62.0		$	46.0		$	80.9		$	68.0
Income taxes	$	13.8		$	10.0		$	18.8		$	14.3
Effective tax rate	22.2		%	21.7		%	23.2		%	21.0		%

The Corporation’s effective tax rate was higher in the three months ended June 28, 2025, compared to same period in the prior year primarily due to favorable adjustments in the prior year. The effective tax was higher in the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to the current year loss on divestiture of HNI India that was not deductible for income tax purposes.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, including permanent extensions of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification to the international tax framework and restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. These changes include allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified business property and immediate expensing of research and development expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with some provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions scheduled to become effective on various dates through 2027. Effects of changes in tax laws, including retroactive changes, are recognized in the financial statements in the period that the changes are enacted. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements, which will be reflected in future financial reporting as the enactment date was after period end.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, and put option liabilities. The marketable securities are comprised of money market funds, government securities, corporate bonds, and mutual funds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1. Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. Significant unobservable inputs, which are classified within Level 3, are used in the estimation of the fair value of put option liabilities, determined using a simulation model based on assumptions including future cash flows, discount rates, and volatility.

Financial instruments measured at fair value were as follows:


	Fair value as of measurement date		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Balance as of June 28, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds) (1)	$	32.0	$	32.0	$	—	$	—

Interest Rate Swap

During the normal course of business, the Corporation is subjected to market risk associated with interest rate movements. Interest rate risk arises from variable interest debt obligations. Interest rate swap derivative instruments are periodically held and used by the Corporation as a tool for managing interest rate risk. They are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

In November 2023, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $100 million of outstanding variable-rate term loan borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 4.7 percent and receives a one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) on a $100 million notional value expiring June 14, 2027. As of June 28, 2025, the fair value of the Corporation’s interest rate swap liability was $2.3 million. See "Note 9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments." The unrealized change in value of the interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $(1.8) million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table details the reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):

In the first half of 2025, the Corporation sold HNI India recognizing a loss of $5.7 million related to the accumulated foreign exchange on the balance sheet. For further information on the divestiture of HNI India during the current quarter, see "Note 3. Divestitures."

In the second quarter of 2025, the Corporation entered into a irrevocable non-participating group annuity contract with a third party insurer to transfer a portion of the obligation and future payments related to a previously frozen pension plan. In connection with the settlement, the Corporation recognized $2.7 million as expense on the income statement, the related portion of the accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the pension plan.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Forms of awards issued under shareholder-approved plans include stock options, restricted stock units based on a service condition ("restricted stock units"), restricted stock units based on both performance and service conditions ("performance stock units"), and shares issued under member stock purchase plans. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units is recognized over the employees’ requisite service periods, adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares not expected to vest. Additionally, expense related to performance stock units is periodically adjusted for the probable number of shares to be awarded based on Corporation achievement within an established target range of cumulative profitability over a multi-year period.

The following table summarizes expense associated with these plans:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024		June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024
Compensation cost	$	3.3	$	4.0	$	10.1	$	11.7

	Unrecognized Compensation Expense		Weighted-Average Remaining Service Period (years)

Non-vested restricted stock units	$	3.5	0.8
Non-vested performance stock units	$	10.5	1.0

Note 13. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of approximately $29 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations. Additionally, the Corporation periodically utilizes trade letters of credit and banker's acceptances to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers; as of June 28, 2025, there were no outstanding amounts related to these types of guarantees. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker's acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation periodically guarantees borrowing arrangements involving certain workplace furnishings dealers and third-party financial institutions. The remaining terms of outstanding guarantees range from one year to five years in length and generally require the Corporation to make payments directly to the financial institution in the event that the dealer is unable to

repay its borrowings in accordance with the stated terms. The aggregate amount guaranteed by the Corporation in connection with these agreements is approximately $7 million as of June 28, 2025. The Corporation has determined the likelihood of making future payments under these guarantees is not probable and therefore no liability has been accrued.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, insurance, and other claims. It is the Corporation’s opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, cash flows, or quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Note 14. Reportable Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as two reportable segments based on industries: workplace furnishings and residential building products.

The aggregated workplace furnishings segment designs, manufactures, and markets a broad line of commercial office furniture which includes panel-based and freestanding furniture systems, seating, storage, benching, tables, architectural products, social collaborative items, ancillary products, and hospitality products. The residential building products segment manufactures and markets a full array of gas, wood, electric, and pellet-fueled fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, outdoor fire pits and fire tables, and accessories.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation’s corporate operations. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost. In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, IT infrastructure, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.

No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation’s primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

The Corporation's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. On a regular basis the CODM receives a reporting package that includes summarized financial results of the Corporation and its underlying operating segments. In evaluating the performance of the segments and making resource allocation decisions across the organization, the CODM is primarily focused on operating income, including analysis of trends, budget-to-actual variances, and performance against historical comparable periods.

Reportable segment data reconciled to the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

Note 15. Supplier Finance Programs

Some of the Corporation’s third-party financial institutions offer supply chain finance ("SCF") programs by which they allow eligible Corporation suppliers the opportunity to sell their trade receivables due from the Corporation. Supplier participation in the SCF programs is voluntary and requires an agreement between the supplier and the financial institution, to which the Corporation is not a party. Any sales of supplier receivables to the financial institutions are at the sole discretion of the supplier

and are priced at a rate that leverages the Corporation’s credit rating and thus may be more beneficial to the supplier. The Corporation’s responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with each supplier.

The Corporation’s payments to the financial institutions to settle obligations related to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF programs are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, SCF programs payment obligations due by the Corporation to the financial institutions are recorded in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


	June 28, 2025		December 28, 2024
Supplier finance programs obligations	$	31.1	$	31.2

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Corporation is a leading global designer and provider of commercial furnishings, and a leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a multi-faceted go-to-market business model to deliver value to customers via various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for expansion.

The Corporation has two reportable segments: workplace furnishings and residential building products. In the current period, the Corporation maintained focus on its strategic priorities. In workplace furnishings, the strategic focus remains margin expansion. The ongoing integration of the Kimball International business and related synergies, expanded utilization of its manufacturing facility in Mexico, and the factory optimization initiative are enabling the segment's profit transformation plan, while the divestiture of HNI India in the second quarter of 2025 allows the Corporation to focus on its core strategies. The residential building products business remains focused on driving revenue growth over the long term. Currently, the business is navigating challenging housing market dynamics resulting from interest rate volatility, inventory challenges, and affordability issues. In addition, macroeconomic volatility driven by evolving government tariff policies continues to drive a heightened level of uncertainty in the Corporation's markets. In spite of these headwinds, both segments achieved second quarter year-over-year net sales growth, increased profitability and increased investments in capabilities to support long-term growth.

Recent developments impacting the Corporation's business include the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes significant provisions, including permanent extensions of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification to the international tax framework and restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. These changes include allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified business property and immediate expensing of research and development expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with some provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions scheduled to become effective on various dates through 2027. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of this legislation on the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $667.1 million, an increase of 7.0 percent compared to net sales of $623.7 million in the prior-year quarter, with net sales in the workplace furnishings segment increasing 7.4 percent, and residential building products net sales increasing 5.3 percent. Consolidated and workplace furnishings net sales include a $4.5 million year-over-year decrease related to the divestiture of HNI India in the current quarter.

Net income attributable to the Corporation in the second quarter of 2025 was $48.2 million compared to net income of $36.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net income increased in the current quarter driven by higher net sales volume and improved net productivity, partially offset by unfavorable price-cost.

See "Note 3. Divestiture" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the divestiture of HNI India.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2025 increased 7.0 percent compared to the same quarter last year.

For the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation’s income tax provision was $10.0 million of expense on income before taxes of $46.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.7 percent. The variation in the effective tax rates was primarily due to favorable adjustments in the prior year.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $48.2 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $36.0 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Six Months Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2025 increased 4.6 percent compared to the same period last year. The change was driven by price realization and higher volume in both the workplace furnishings and residential building products segments. These factors were partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in net sales from the divestiture of HNI India in the second quarter of 2025.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 60 basis points in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, driven by improved net productivity which was partially offset by unfavorable price-cost.

Restructuring, Impairment, and Loss on Divestiture

In the first six months of 2025, the Corporation recorded charges of $8.9 million primarily in connection with a $6.4 million loss on the disposal of its HNI India business, and a network optimization program. In the prior-year period, charges of $2.1 million were incurred, primarily in connection with a workplace furnishings factory optimization initiative.

Operating Income

In the first six months of 2025, operating margin expanded 40 basis points compared to the same period last year, driven by improved net productivity and higher net sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable price-cost and the loss associated with the divestiture of HNI India.

Interest Expense, Net

For the first six months of 2024, the Corporation’s income tax expense was $14.3 million on income before taxes of $68.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.0 percent. The variation in the effective tax rates was primarily due to the current year impairment charge recorded at HNI India that was not deductible for income tax purposes.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $62.2 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2025, compared to net income of $53.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2024.

Second quarter 2025 net sales for the workplace furnishings segment increased 7.4 percent compared to the same quarter last year.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025			June 29, 2024			Change		June 28, 2025			June 29, 2024			Change

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, coupled with cash flow from future operations, borrowing capacity expected to be available under the Corporation's existing credit agreements, and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy other cash requirements. As of June 28, 2025, the Corporation can access the full $425 million of borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility, which includes the $196 million of borrowings outstanding as of that date, and maintain compliance with applicable financial covenants.

Cash Flow – Operating Activities

Operating cash flows were a source of $43.7 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to a source of $47.0 million for the first six months of 2024. The decrease was driven by higher working capital usage in the current year, partially offset by increased net income.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities

Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first six months of 2025 were $31.2 million compared to $28.7 million in the same period last year. The current-year expenditures are primarily focused on machinery, equipment, and tooling required to support continuing operations, continuous improvements, and cost savings initiatives in the manufacturing processes. Additionally, in support of the Corporation's long-term strategy to create effortless winning experiences for customers, the Corporation continues to invest in technology and digital capabilities. For the full year 2025, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $75 to $85 million.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities

Debt - The Corporation maintains a revolving credit facility as the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, and seasonal working capital needs. Cash flows included in financing activities for the current and prior periods presented include periodic borrowings and repayments under the revolving credit facility.

As discussed in "Note 7. Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation also has borrowings outstanding under a term loan agreement and private placement note agreements. On May 31, 2025, the

Corporation repaid the $50 million principal of matured seven-year private placement notes, and during the second quarter of 2024 the Corporation executed a $50 million early repayment of outstanding principal under the term loan. The repayments in both the current and prior year quarter were financed using borrowings from the revolving credit facility. As a result of early repayments of the term loan, no additional principal amortization is currently due to be repaid on the term loan prior to maturity of the facility in March 2028.

Dividend - The Corporation is committed to maintaining or modestly increasing the quarterly dividend rate. Cash dividends declared and paid per common share were as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024		June 28, 2025		June 29, 2024
Dividends per common share	$	0.34	$	0.33	$	0.67	$	0.65

During the second quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly cash dividend at the rate of $0.34 per share on May 12, 2025. This represents a $0.01 per share or 3.0% increase to the prior quarterly dividend level. The dividend was paid on June 11, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 23, 2025.

Stock Repurchase - The Corporation’s capital strategy related to stock repurchase is focused on offsetting the dilutive impact of issuances of common stock pursuant to equity awards granted for various compensation-related matters. The Corporation also may elect to opportunistically purchase additional shares based on excess cash generation and/or share price considerations. During the six months ended June 28, 2025, the Corporation spent $79.8 million to repurchase 1.7 million shares of its common stock. As of June 28, 2025, $87.7 million was available under the current authorization of the Board of Directors for repurchase of shares by the Corporation. See "Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Shareholders’ Equity" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Sales of Stock - The Corporation records cash flows received from the sale of its common stock held in treasury, primarily in connection with stock option exercises and the HNI Corporation Members’ Stock Purchase Plan. See "Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Shareholders’ Equity" and "Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash Requirements

Various commitments and obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods. A summary of the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments is presented in the 2024 Form 10-K. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation’s contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments during the first six months of 2025.

Commitments and Contingencies

See "Note 13. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements is provided in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosure of pretax income (or loss) and income tax (or benefit) disaggregated by domestic and foreign operations. Finally, the ASU removes the requirement of certain disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits. The ASU becomes effective for the Corporation beginning with its annual period ending December 2025. The ASU will not impact the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Corporation. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and expects additional disclosures will be required on adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 aims to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, selling expenses, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization within commonly presented captions on the face of the income statement. Disclosures are required to be made on an annual and interim basis in a tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements. The ASU becomes effective for the Corporation for its fiscal year ending December 2027, and for interim periods beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2028, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Looking Ahead

The Corporation continues to navigate near-term uncertainty driven by macroeconomic conditions. However, management remains optimistic about the long-term prospects in the workplace furnishings and residential building products markets. Management believes the Corporation continues to compete well and remains confident the investments made in the business will continue to generate strong returns for shareholders.
