Current report

In the current period, the Corporation maintained focus on its strategic priorities. In workplace furnishings, ongoing integration of the Kimball International business and related synergies, expanded utilization of the new factory in Mexico, and the recently announced manufacturing facility optimization initiative are enabling the segment's profit transformation plan. The residential building products business continued to navigate cyclical housing market weakness and inconsistent demand trends but remained solidly profitable and committed to investing in capabilities to support long-term growth.

Current report

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2024 increased 10.7 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The change was driven by $80.5 million of favorable impact from the acquisition of Kimball International in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by lower volume in the legacy HNI businesses and $3.4 million of unfavorable impact from the divestiture of Poppin in the third quarter of 2023.

Current report

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 360 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year, driven by improved operational productivity and the impact of the Kimball International acquisition.

Current report

Selling and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of net sales decreased 440 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven by $31.3 million of non-repeating Kimball International acquisition-related fees and expenses incurred in the prior-year quarter and improved freight and distribution productivity, partially offset by lower volume in the legacy HNI businesses and elevated healthcare costs.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation recorded charges of $2.0 million primarily in connection with a workplace furnishings factory optimization initiative. Charges of $8.1 million were incurred in the same quarter last year mainly related to the exit of the Poppin business.

Current report

In the first six months of 2024, the Corporation recorded charges of $2.1 million primarily in connection with a workplace furnishings factory optimization initiative. Charges of $8.1 million were incurred in the same period last year mainly related to the exit of the Poppin business.

Current report

In the first six months of 2024, operating margin increased 660 basis points compared to the same period last year, driven by improved net productivity, favorable price-cost, the impact of the acquisition of Kimball International, non-repeating acquisition-related costs incurred in the prior-year period, and lower restructuring and impairment charges incurred in the current-year period, partially offset by lower volume in the legacy HNI businesses and higher variable compensation.

Current report

The Corporation’s income tax provision for the first six months of 2024 was $14.3 million of expense on income before taxes of $68.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.0 percent. For the first six months of 2023, the Corporation’s income tax expense was $6.0 million on a loss before taxes of $5.3 million, or an effective tax rate of (113.1) percent. The variation in the effective tax rates was primarily due to lower pre-tax income in the prior-year period impacted by non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of Kimball International in the prior year.

Current report

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $53.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2024, compared to net loss of $11.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2023.

Current report

Second quarter 2024 net sales for the workplace furnishings segment increased 16.3 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The acquisition of Kimball International in the second quarter of 2023 increased net sales by $80.5 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while the divestiture of Poppin in the third quarter of 2023 decreased year-over-year sales by $3.4 million. Adjusting for the impact of these transactions, segment sales decreased 2.4 percent year-over-year, driven by lower volume in the contract office customer channel.

Current report

Operating income as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2024 improved 750 basis points compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by improved net productivity, favorable impacts from the Kimball International acquisition and the divestiture of Poppin, $10.3 million of non-repeating acquisition-related costs incurred in the prior-year quarter, and lower restructuring and impairment charges in the current quarter.

Current report

Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased 350 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year driven by improved net productivity, favorable product mix, and lower core SG&A, partially offset by lower volume.

Current report

Operating cash flows were $47.0 million for the first six months of 2024 compared $39.8 million for the first six months of 2023. In the prior-year period, net income included costs associated with the acquisition of Kimball International, which did not recur in the current-year period. Additionally, the net income benefits from owning Kimball International for the entire period combined with improved financial performance in the remaining HNI businesses, drove improvement to net income. The increase in income was mostly offset by higher usage of working capital. Working capital was a use of cash during the current-year period. Historically, the Corporation experiences seasonal cash usage during the first half of the fiscal year. The current year working capital cash usage was consistent with normal historical patterns. The comparable prior-year period did not follow the normal seasonal pattern due to the impacts and timing of the acquisition of Kimball International.

Current report

Acquisition - Investing activities in the first six months of 2023 included $369.8 million of cash outflows related to the acquisition of Kimball International. See "Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Current report

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2023, the Corporation borrowed $300 million in connection with a term loan agreement entered into on March 31, 2023, as amended on May 25, 2023, to support funding of the acquisition of Kimball International. In the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation executed a $50 million early repayment of the outstanding principal balance on this term loan. The repayment was financed using borrowings from the revolving credit facility. As a result, no additional principal amortization is currently due to be repaid for the term loan prior to March 2027. See "Note 7. Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Removed paragraphs (1)

Previous report

Operating activities were a use of $4.3 million of cash in the first three months of 2024 compared to a source of $17.3 million of cash in the first three months of 2023. Working capital seasonal cash usage was higher in the current period versus the prior period driven by reductions in accrued expenses and higher receivables. The higher usage of working capital was partially offset by higher net income in the current period.

The acquisition of Kimball International on June 1, 2023 increased year-over-year sales by $147.5 million. See "Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Kimball International acquisition, which affects the comparability of results between the current and prior-year periods.

The year-over-year increase in net income was driven by favorable price-cost, improved net productivity, favorable net impacts of the Kimball International acquisition, lower core selling and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower volume in the legacy HNI businesses (excluding Kimball International) and higher variable compensation.

Current wording

Previous wording

Interest expense, net for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.6 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter last year, driven by higher average outstanding borrowings resulting from indebtedness incurred to fund the acquisition of Kimball International and higher interest rates in the current period on the Corporation's variable-rate revolving debt obligations.

Current wording

Current wording

The Corporation’s income tax provision for the second quarter of 2024 was $10.0 million of expense on income before taxes of $46.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.7 percent.
