Introduction

Our Business

We are the leading global producer of reclining chairs and one of the largest manufacturers/distributors of residential furniture in the United States. The La-Z-Boy Stores retail network is the second largest retailer of single-branded furniture in the United States. We manufacture, market, import, export, distribute and retail upholstery furniture products under the La-Z-Boy®, England, and Joybird® tradenames. In addition, we import, distribute and retail accessories and casegoods (wood) furniture products under the Hammary®and Joybird® tradenames.

As of July 25, 2026, our supply chain operations included the following:

Four major manufacturing locations and 9 distribution centers in the United States and two facilities in Mexico to support our speed-to-market and customization strategy

A logistics company that distributes a portion of our products in the United States

A wholesale sales office that is responsible for distribution of our product in the United Kingdom and Ireland

A global trading company in Hong Kong that helps us manage our Asian supply chain by establishing and maintaining relationships with our Asian suppliers, as well as identifying efficiencies and savings opportunities

We also participate in two consolidated joint ventures in Thailand that support our international businesses: one that operates a manufacturing facility and another that operates a wholesale sales office.

We sell our products through multiple channels: directly to consumers through retail stores that we own and operate; to furniture retailers or distributors in the United States, Canada, and approximately 45 other countries, including the United Kingdom, China, Australia, and New Zealand; and through our websites, www.la-z-boy.com and www.joybird.com.

The centerpiece of our retail distribution strategy is our network of 379 La-Z-Boy Stores, over 500 La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, and over 900 La-Z-Boy branded space locations, each dedicated to marketing our La-Z-Boy branded products.

La-Z-Boy Stores help consumers furnish their homes by combining the style, comfort, and quality of La-Z-Boy furniture with our available design services. We own 234 of the La-Z-Boy Stores, while the remainder are independently owned and operated.

La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations are defined spaces within larger independent retailers that are dedicated to displaying and selling La-Z-Boy branded products, while La-Z-Boy branded space locations display a curated selection of La-Z-Boy branded products within larger independent dealers. All La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations and La-Z-Boy branded space locations are independently owned and operated.

In total, we have approximately 8 million square feet of proprietary floor space dedicated to selling La-Z-Boy branded products in North America within our La-Z-Boy Stores and La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations.

We also have approximately 3 million square feet of floor space outside of North America dedicated to selling La-Z-Boy branded products.

Our other brands, England, Hammary®, and Joybird enjoy distribution through various channels.

England has its own dedicated proprietary in-store programs with 465 outlets and approximately 1 million square feet of proprietary floor space.

Joybird sells product online, in 16 small-format stores in key markets, and through other distribution channels.

Century Vision Strategy

As La-Z-Boy approaches its centennial anniversary in 2027, we remain focused on executing our Century Vision strategy to grow sales and market share through growth of our consumer brands, La-Z-Boy and Joybird, and sustainably grow our operating margin well beyond this milestone year. Building on a century of innovation, comfort, craftsmanship, and consumer trust, we are working to leverage our iconic brand to expand market reach and strengthen our engagement with consumers, dealers and partners. Through continued investment in brand evolution, retail expansion, digital transformation, innovation, and consumer insights, we aim to deliver the transformational power of comfort to future generations with a consumer-first approach while honoring our almost 100 year heritage that has made La-Z-Boy one of America's most recognized and enduring brands. Our Century Vision strategy continues to have significant runway and we are executing through the following initiatives:

Expanding the La-Z-Boy brand reach

Leveraging our connection to comfort and reinvigorating our brand with a consumer focus, expanded omni-channel presence, and digital transformation. Our strategic initiatives to leverage and reinvigorate our iconic La-Z-Boy brand center on a renewed focus on leveraging the compelling La-Z-Boy comfort message, accelerating our omni-channel offering, and identifying additional consumer-base growth opportunities. We leverage our consumer insights to develop and deliver meaningful product innovation, particularly in the motion and reclining categories. We also utilize consumer insights to optimize our messaging and marketing campaigns to increase recognition and consideration of La-Z-Boy among both existing and prospective customers. Our Long Live the Lazy campaign, launched in 2024, continues to resonate through its compelling, consumer-inspired message. In 2025, we successfully launched a refreshed brand identity - the first significant evolution of the La-Z-Boy brand in more than two decades - designed to modernize the brand, enhance differentiation, and strengthen relevance with a broader consumer audience across retail and digital footprints. Further, our goal is to connect with consumers along their purchase journey through multiple means, whether online or in person. We are driving change throughout our digital platforms to improve the user experience, with a specific focus on the ease with which customers browse through our broad product assortment, customize products to their liking, find stores to make a purchase, or purchase at www.la-z-boy.com. We believe that our digital transformation will improve traffic both online and in our retail locations.

Growing our La-Z-Boy retail business. We expect to grow our Retail segment through organic same-store sales growth and by increasing company-owned stores through the opening of new stores and acquisitions. Opportunistically acquiring existing La-Z-Boy Stores and opening new La-Z-Boy Stores where we see opportunity for growth or further market penetration continues to be a priority. Over the last five years, as a result of opening new company-owned stores and acquiring independent La-Z-Boy Stores, we have increased our ownership percentage in this store network from 45% to 62%. With 379 stores currently in the La-Z-Boy Store network, we believe there is opportunity to open approximately ten stores annually, with the majority being company-owned, targeting a network of 450 stores.

Expanding the reach of our wholesale distribution channels. Consumers experience the La-Z-Boy brand in many channels including the La-Z-Boy Store network, the La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio®locations, our store-within-a-store format, and La-Z-Boy branded space locations. While consumers increasingly interact with the brand digitally, our consumers also demonstrate an affinity for visiting our stores to shop, allowing us to frequently deliver the flagship La-Z-Boy Store, La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio®, or La-Z-Boy branded space experience and provide design services. In addition to our branded distribution channels, over 1,000 other dealers sell La-Z-Boy products, which include some of the best-known names in the industry, providing us the benefit of multi-channel distribution. We believe there is significant growth potential for our consumer brands through these retail channels.

Profitably growing the Joybird brand

Profitably growing the Joybird brand with a digital-first consumer experience. Joybird is a leading omni-channel, direct to consumer retailer and manufacturer of upholstered furniture. We believe that Joybird is a brand with long-term potential and our strategic initiatives in this area focus on driving profitable growth through the opening of additional small-format stores in key markets, expanding distribution channels, driving customer acquisition and awareness through digital marketing, and continued optimization of cost structure.

Enhancing our enterprise capabilities

Enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and enable potential acquisitions for growth. Key to successful growth is ensuring we have the capabilities to support that growth, including an agile supply chain, modern technology for consumers, employees, and analytic capabilities, and by delivering a human-centered employee experience. We continue to have initiatives focused on enhancing these capabilities with a consumer-first focus.

Reportable Segments

Our reportable operating segments include the Retail segment and the Wholesale segment.

Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 234 company-owned La-Z-Boy Stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other home furnishings accessories, to end consumers through these stores.

Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary and our international operating segment, which includes our international La-Z-Boy wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture, such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® and branded space locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.

Corporate and Other. Corporate and Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and accounting, and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an omni-channel retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture, such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer online through its website, www.joybird.com, through small-format stores in key markets, and through other distribution channels. None of the operating segments included in Corporate and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.
