Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HNI Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $1,592.9 million, up 133% year over year, largely reflecting the Steelcase acquisition; organic net sales grew 5.6%. Net income was $90.0 million, compared with $41.2 million a year earlier. GAAP diluted EPS rose to $1.23 from $0.88, while non-GAAP diluted EPS increased to $1.62 from $1.10.

Workplace Furnishings sales rose 5.9% organically, but GAAP operating margin contracted 280 basis points to 9.3%, reflecting Steelcase, purchase accounting and restructuring costs.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

5 terms

organic net sales financial

"Organic net sales (non-GAAP)"

Organic net sales represent the revenue generated from a company's core business activities, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestments, or currency changes. It shows how well the company is growing through its existing products and services, similar to tracking how a plant grows from its own roots rather than by adding new plants. Investors use this measure to assess the true growth and health of a company's ongoing operations.

non-GAAP diluted EPS financial

"Non-GAAP diluted EPS growth of 20-25 percent expected in 2026"

Non-GAAP diluted EPS (Earnings Per Share) is a measure of a company's profit allocated to each share of stock, calculated using adjusted earnings that exclude certain items like one-time expenses or gains. It provides a view of ongoing performance by removing irregular or non-recurring factors. Investors use it to better understand the company's core profitability and compare performance across different periods or companies.

purchase accounting financial

"impact of Steelcase purchase accounting"

Purchase accounting is the method used to record a company acquisition by treating the buyer as if it bought each asset and assumed each liability at their fair values on the purchase date. It matters to investors because this re‑valuation can create or change visible items like goodwill, cause future earnings to be lower or higher as costs are spread out, and alter balance sheet strength—much like re‑tagging items and debts after buying a house affects your net worth and monthly costs.

price-cost financial

"favorable price-cost and improved net productivity"

operating leverage financial

"benefits of operating leverage from higher volume"

Operating leverage measures how much a company's profits are affected by changes in sales volume. When a business has high operating leverage, small increases in sales can lead to much larger increases in profit, much like a lever amplifies force. It matters to investors because it indicates how sensitive a company's earnings are to fluctuations in sales, affecting risk and potential returns.

HNI CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

Top Line Growth, Management of Cost and Expenses Drive Strong Third Quarter

•Q3 GAAP diluted EPS was $1.23 (+39.8% YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, diluted EPS was $1.62 (+47.3% YoY).

•Profit improvement versus the prior year was driven by the Steelcase acquisition, operational productivity benefits, price-cost, and organic volume growth in both segments.

•Net sales for the third quarter of 2026 were in line with HNI's expectations.

•Encouraging demand trends — Workplace Furnishings Q3 orders were up six percent year-over-year, while Residential Building Products Q3 orders grew four percent versus the same period of 2025.

•Low-single-digit organic net sales growth expectations remain for both segments for the full year 2026.

•Non-GAAP diluted EPS growth of 20-25 percent expected in 2026 — the fifth straight year of double-digit non-GAAP diluted EPS growth.

•Multiple years of elevated EPS growth visibility remain from sales growth initiatives, cost actions, and manufacturing network optimization, plus at least $130 million of Steelcase synergies when fully mature.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (November 3, 2026) – HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) today announced net sales of $1.6 billion and net income of $90.0 million for the third quarter ended October 3, 2026. Non-GAAP net income was $118.7 million. Non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliations follow the financial statements in this release.

Highlights

•Strong third quarter results. GAAP diluted EPS totaled $1.23 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.62 well exceeded internal expectations. SG&A cost management, price-cost benefits, investment timing, and productivity savings more than offset slightly lower-than-expected volume growth to drive the upside. GAAP results include the impact of Steelcase purchase accounting, the details of which can be found later in the release.

•Top line backdrop remains strong. Workplace Furnishings segment volume growth turned positive in the third quarter, with volume growth and price recognition driving organic net sales growth of six percent. In Residential Building Products, the benefits of structural changes organizing around the consumer and growth investments drove continued market outperformance, with volume- and price-driven net sales growth of nearly five percent.

•Multiple sources of margin improvement and EPS visibility. Cost management initiatives and efforts to streamline priorities across the organization to focus on profitable growth are expected to deliver improved profitability over the remainder of 2026 and in 2027, despite ongoing geopolitical and macro

1

uncertainty. Further, the Corporation continues to expect manufacturing network optimization savings in its legacy Workplace Furnishings businesses to total nearly $30 million (adding an expected $0.30 to non-GAAP diluted EPS) in 2026 through 2028. In addition, synergies associated with the integration of Steelcase are progressing ahead of plan and are now expected to add at least $130 million of operating profit when fully mature.

“Volume growth returned in both segments in the third quarter. In addition to the benefits of operating leverage from higher volume, cost and expense management and the net benefits of price-cost and productivity drove third quarter results that significantly exceeded our expectations. Our members continue to demonstrate focus and diligence. Encouragingly, our internal leading indicators — pre-order activity, orders, and backlog — continue to provide reasons to be optimistic. The positive momentum of our strategies — both revenue- and cost-focused, the benefits of our diversified revenue streams, the merits of our customer-first business model, and the integration of Steelcase continue to deliver strong shareholder value.

“In the legacy Workplace Furnishings businesses, our profit transformation efforts are working, and revenue is growing. Workplace Furnishings segment GAAP operating margin was 15 percent, an improvement of 250 basis points year-over-year. Non-GAAP operating margin, excluding Steelcase, expanded 390 basis points year-over-year, reaching a third quarter record of 16 percent; and when including Steelcase, non-GAAP operating income was more than double the prior-year level. Excluding Steelcase, third quarter net sales were up nearly six percent year-over-year. Growth was fueled in large part by our businesses focused on contract customers, and we remain bullish about the industry backdrop. Looking ahead, we expect year-over-year revenue to grow in the fourth quarter in our legacy Workplace Furnishings businesses.

"At Steelcase, our integration efforts are on track, with synergy capture ahead of plan, and net sales and orders improved on a year-over-year basis. We now expect total synergies to reach at least $130 million when fully mature, with the original $120 million target now expected to be achieved by the end of year four. In the near term, the synergy upside will be partially offset by temporary price-cost pressure from accelerating inflation. We expect our pricing actions will bring a return of price-cost neutrality in 2027. In addition, in Steelcase's international markets, the benefits of ongoing cost actions and profit improvement plans are being partially offset by geopolitical turmoil, slowing the rate of earnings improvement in 2026. We will continue to aggressively manage the cost structure and profitability in these markets.

“In Residential Building Products, our organizational realignment and growth initiatives are working and fueled five percent net sales growth in the quarter — strong results given the challenging housing backdrop. Our top line performance was driven by revenue from the remodel-retrofit business, which increased double-digits year-over-year and more than offset modest market-driven weakness in our new construction channel. The top-line strength and our lean operating model drove operating margin and profit upside, with 180 basis points of margin expansion and 16 percent profit growth, on a year-over-year basis. We remain encouraged about the opportunities tied to our growth initiatives, despite expectations of ongoing housing market headwinds. We continue to invest to grow our unique operating model and diversified revenue streams, including go-to-market changes to organize around our customers.

“The strength of our growth strategies and ability to stay focused on our profit levers, despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, was evident in our third quarter results. We expect strong profit growth again in

the fourth quarter, driven by the Steelcase acquisition, operational productivity gains and organic revenue growth,” stated Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

HNI Corporation — Third Quarter Summary Comments

•Consolidated net sales increased 133 percent from the prior-year quarter to $1.6 billion, driven by the acquisition of Steelcase in December 2025. On an organic basis, net sales increased 5.6 percent year-over-year. The acquisition of Steelcase during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the acquisition of a workplace furnishings dealer in the current quarter increased year-over-year net sales by $870.6 million. A reconciliation of organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure, to net sales follows the financial statements in this release.

•Gross profit margin expanded 50 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase was driven by favorable price-cost and improved net productivity, which were partially offset by impacts from the acquisition of Steelcase.

4

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 220 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase was driven by impacts from the acquisition of Steelcase and higher input costs, partially offset by higher net sales.

•Acquisition and related costs of $0.9 million were recorded during the current period in connection with the acquisition of Steelcase. Acquisition costs consist of retention compensation and other professional service fees.

•Non-cash purchase accounting totaled $24.8 million for the current quarter related to the Steelcase acquisition, which were included in operating expenses and related to amortization of intangibles.

•Restructuring and impairment charges of $7.3 million were incurred in the current quarter, primarily related to structural cost actions.

•Income tax rate comparability versus the same quarter of 2025 was primarily impacted by matters associated with the acquisition of Steelcase, as a result of the impact of non-deductible transaction costs in the prior period.

•Net income per diluted share was $1.23 compared to $0.88 in the prior-year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, net income per diluted share increased to $1.62 from $1.10 in the year-ago quarter. The increases were driven by favorable price-cost, improved net productivity, higher organic net sales volume, and impacts from the acquisition of Steelcase.

Residential Building Products — Third Quarter Summary Comments

•Residential Building Products net sales increased 4.8 percent from the prior-year quarter to $175.0 million, with improved sales in the remodel-retrofit channel partially offset by lower sales in new construction.

•Residential Building Products operating profit margin of 19.8 percent expanded 180 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, segment operating profit margin of 20.2 percent expanded 220 basis points year-over-year. The increases were driven by improved net productivity and higher net sales volume.

Third Quarter Order Rates

•In the Workplace Furnishings segment, orders in the third quarter increased six percent compared to the prior-year period. Order growth rates from contract customers solidly outperformed those from small and medium-sized businesses. Steelcase order growth was stronger than legacy Workplace Furnishings trends. Over the most recent five-week period, segment orders have continued to grow on a year-over-year basis.

•In the Residential Building Products segment, orders grew four percent compared to the third quarter of 2025. Solid remodel-retrofit order growth offset modest declines from the new construction channel. Over the most recent five-week period, segment orders have continued to grow on a year-over-year basis.

Outlook

•Fourth quarter net sales. The Corporation expects fourth quarter 2026 net sales in legacy Workplace Furnishings to increase at a low-single-digit rate year-over-year, including the negative impact of an extra week in 2025. Including Steelcase, total Workplace Furnishings net sales are expected to nearly double from the prior-year period. In Residential Building Products, fourth quarter 2026 net sales are expected to be roughly unchanged versus the same period in 2025, including the negative impact of an extra week in 2025. As a reminder, the Corporation's fiscal 2025 included an extra week in the fourth quarter. Specifically, the extra shipping days in the year-ago fourth quarter is estimated to create an approximate three percentage net sales growth headwind in the fourth quarter of 2026.

•Fourth quarter non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2026 are expected to increase at a rate in the mid-20 percent range from fourth quarter 2025 levels. The addition of Steelcase, productivity savings, expense management, and tax planning are expected to more than offset year-over-year volume pressure, a temporary price-cost drag resulting from accelerating inflation, and continued investments to drive future growth.

•Double-digit non-GAAP diluted EPS growth again next year, with multiple years of elevated earnings growth visibility beyond 2027. We expect to achieve cumulative Steelcase synergies of $70 million by the end of 2027, with total synergies now expected to exceed $130 million when fully mature. In addition, we will continue to see the benefits of our legacy manufacturing network optimization savings — with the cumulative benefit expected to reach $20 million in 2027 and $30 million in 2028. In 2027, these items, along with anticipated price-cost recovery, productivity gains, and volume growth, are expected to

7

more than offset pressure from items that benefited 2026 but will not recur, including tariff refunds and certain tax benefits.

•Balance sheet. The Corporation held a strong balance sheet position as of quarter end and is committed to maintaining significant financial flexibility to fund ongoing business investments to drive growth and payment of its longstanding dividend. Net debt levels were reduced meaningfully during the quarter as the Corporation continues to decrease leverage following the Steelcase acquisition.

Concluding Remarks

“Our members continue to manage our businesses well, delivering another strong quarter with improving top line trends and earnings that exceeded our expectations. Consistent with our previous outlook, we reported volume growth in Workplace Furnishings. Our Residential Building Products segment continued to deliver in the quarter, reporting volume growth despite persistent housing market softness. Moreover, our order patterns showed solid year-over-year improvement during the quarter.

"As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect year-over-year organic revenue growth in Workplace Furnishings. From a profitability perspective, our updated outlook calls for operating profit in our Workplace Furnishings segment to more than double versus the same period in 2025. This view is supported by both external macro and industry demand metrics, our internal pre-order data, and multiple cost and expense initiatives. In Residential Building Products, revenue is expected to be roughly unchanged versus the fourth quarter of 2025, representing continued outperformance relative to expectations of ongoing housing market softness. We expect our Residential Building Products segment to expand margins noticeably on a year-on-year basis in the fourth quarter of 2026.

“The integration of Steelcase is going well, and synergy capture is progressing ahead of expectations, although 2026 accretion will be offset by inflation and softness in our international markets. A new leadership team, strategic cost resets, and pricing actions have the business in a great position as we move toward 2027, and we remain confident in and expect significant accretion next year and beyond.

"The benefits of the Steelcase acquisition, the strength of our strategies, and our financial discipline are expected to continue to drive strong free cash flow — even as we manage through worsening inflation and war-driven revenue pressure internationally. And while we remain focused, conservative, and ready to adjust as required, our outlook continues to demonstrate our confidence in revenue growth, our ongoing profit growth visibility story, and our proven ability to manage through changing economic conditions.

“Our HNI members remain focused on driving growth and expanding margins. And we will continue to invest for the future with confidence,” concluded Mr. Lorenger.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP measures are included below. This information gives investors additional insights into HNI’s financial performance and operations. While HNI’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating HNI’s operations, this information should be considered supplemental and not in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis or for our segments: organic net sales; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating profit; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP interest expense; non-GAAP effective tax rate; non-GAAP net income; and non-GAAP net income per diluted share (EPS). These measures are adjusted from the comparable GAAP measures to exclude the impacts of the selected items as summarized in the tables below. Generally, non-GAAP EPS is calculated using HNI’s overall effective tax rate for the period, as this rate is reflective of the tax applicable to most non-GAAP adjustments. The effective tax rate used to calculate non-GAAP diluted EPS for the current-year quarter differs from the GAAP effective tax rate due to the impact of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Steelcase, and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the prior-year quarter differs from the GAAP effective tax rate due to the impact of transaction costs associated with the then-pending acquisition of Steelcase.

The transactions excluded for purposes of non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release include: restructuring charges recorded related to manufacturing network optimization which primarily consists of accelerated depreciation, asset disposals, and asset relocation; structural cost actions resulting in severance charges; an impairment charge related to a small residential building products business; the loss on sale of the HNI India business; purchase accounting costs associated with Steelcase; Steelcase acquisition costs; interest expense associated with bridge loan financing for the acquisition of Steelcase; and impairment costs related to the abandonment of the Steelcase multi-year ERP implementation.

This earnings release refers to our expectations regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS for the stated fiscal periods. The Corporation is unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measure to future EPS without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and to the potential variability of, many of the costs and expenses that could potentially impact diluted EPS calculated on a GAAP basis. These items include, but are not limited to, impairments, financial impacts from changes in legal, regulatory, and tax requirements, charges related to actions taken to improve future profitability, and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, if any. These items necessary to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP diluted EPS to diluted EPS could be material and have a significant impact on the Corporation’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
