LA-Z-BOY INC (LZB) reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter results with sales of $475.7 million, down 3% year over year, or 1% lower excluding the divested wholesale casegoods business. Retail was the standout: total written sales rose 16%, written same-store sales grew 3%, and delivered sales increased 10% to $229 million, with GAAP and adjusted operating margins improving to 6.4% and 6.5%.
At the consolidated level, profitability softened as Wholesale and Joybird volumes declined. GAAP operating margin fell to (0.4)% from 4.5%, driven largely by one-time charges tied to exiting two small plants, a casegoods divestiture, distribution and home delivery transformation, and a legacy pension termination. Adjusted operating margin was 3.9% versus 4.8% and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.43 versus $0.47. Free cash flow turned negative at $(7.6) million, as La‑Z‑Boy invested $23 million in capex and $16 million in acquisitions.
The company ended the quarter with $267 million in cash and no external debt, and returned about $35 million to shareholders, up 62% year over year, through repurchases and dividends. For the second quarter, La‑Z‑Boy expects sales of $500–$520 million (enterprise growth of -1% to +2% excluding casegoods) and adjusted operating margin of 4.0–5.5%, reflecting ongoing investments in new stores, advertising, pricing, digital initiatives, and network optimization.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated reported strong fourth quarter and fiscal 2026 results, highlighted by higher earnings and margins and a new share repurchase plan. Fourth quarter sales were $570.3 million, flat year over year, but GAAP operating margin improved to 7.2% from 5.2%, and adjusted operating margin rose to 9.9% from 9.4%.
GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter increased to $0.81 from $0.36, while adjusted diluted EPS grew to $1.26 from $0.92, both including a $0.16 benefit from favorable discrete tax items. Retail segment written sales climbed 11% and delivered sales 9%, while Joybird delivered sales declined 10%. For fiscal 2026, sales reached $2.13 billion, up 1%, with adjusted diluted EPS of $3.04 versus $2.92 and operating cash flow of $204 million, up 9%. The company ended the year with $303 million in cash, no external debt, completed exits of certain casegoods businesses, recorded a $20 million goodwill impairment for Joybird, and the board authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program, replacing the prior plan.
La-Z-Boy Incorporated reported fiscal 2026 third quarter results showing modest growth but weaker profits. Sales reached $541.6 million, up 4% from the prior year, driven by an 11% increase in Retail segment written and delivered sales and a 1% gain in Wholesale sales, partially offset by lower Joybird volume.
Profitability declined as GAAP operating margin fell to 5.5% from 6.7%, and GAAP diluted EPS dropped to $0.52 from $0.68. On an adjusted basis, operating margin was 6.1% and diluted EPS $0.61, both below last year. The company cited investments in its distribution and home delivery transformation and supply chain optimization costs, including the planned closure of its U.K. manufacturing facility.
Cash generation was strong, with $89 million in operating cash flow for the quarter, up 57%, and cash and equivalents of $306 million with no external debt. La-Z-Boy advanced its portfolio shift, integrating a 15-store acquisition, completing the sale of the Kincaid upholstery business, and signing a letter of intent to sell its wholesale casegoods brands. Management expects fourth quarter sales of $560–$580 million and adjusted operating margin of 7.5–9.0%, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.242 per share.
