The Company reported record second quarter sales and earnings for its fiscal
quarter ended June 29, 1996. These results, coupled with record first quarter
results, makes January through June 1996 the best first six-month period in
the Company's history.
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended June 29, 1996, were $219.3
million, compared to $206.6 million in 1995, an increase of 6%. Net income
was $12.3 million, a 59% increase over 1995; and net income per share
increased to $0.41 per share, a 64% increase over the same quarter a year ago.
The Company's ongoing repurchase of its common stock during the quarter and
year-to-date also contributed to the favorable year-over-year per share
comparisons.
For the six months ended June 29, 1996, consolidated net sales were $452.7
million, up 7% from $423.1 million in the year ago period. Net income for the
first half of 1996 was $29.1 million, compared to $20.3 million a year
earlier, an increase of 43%, or $0.96 per share, an increase of 46% over the
comparable period last year.
Company net sales are continuing to outpace the 4% increase in industry
shipments reported by BIFMA, the U.S. office furniture trade association,
for the period January through May 1996. The increase in net sales is
occurring in both of the Company's core businesses: office furniture and
hearth products, in spite of continuing intense price competition in the
marketplace. Sales growth is being driven to a large extent by new products
introduced within the past three years.
Page 9 of 15<PAGE>
Second quarter 1996 earnings growth is in contrast to the Company's weaker
results in the second quarter of 1995. The higher earnings for 1996 shows
the solid results of the Company's committed efforts to reduce costs and
leverage its operating expenses.
The gross profit margin for the second quarter held at 31.5% compared to 29.2%
for the same quarter in 1995. On a six-month basis, the margin was 31.5% for
1996 versus 30.6% for 1995. Selling and administrative expenses for the
second quarter of 1995 were 22.6% of net sales compared to 23.1% in the
comparable quarter of 1995. On a six-month basis, they were 21.9% in 1996
versus 22.7% in 1995. The improvement in gross margin and selling and
administrative expenses are being driven by increases in volume, stringent
cost control, and increased productivity.
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a $3.2 million pretax gain
on the sale of its subsidiary, Ring King Visibles, Inc., a manufacturer of a
variety of personal computer accessories. The after-tax effect of this sale
was $2.0 million or $0.07 per share.
Liquidity
- ---------
As of June 29, 1996, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
increased to $49.4 million compared to a $46.9 million balance at year-end
1995.
Net capital expenditures for the first six months of 1996 were $20.9 million
and primarily represent investment in new, more-efficient machinery and
equipment. These investments are key enablers in aiding the Company to reduce
costs, improve productivity, reduce production cycle time, and reduce customer
order lead times.
A $0.12 per share quarterly dividend on common stock was paid on May 31, 1996,
to shareholders of record on May 23, 1996. This was the 165th consecutive
quarterly dividend paid by the Company.
The Company continued its common stock repurchases during the second quarter.
During the period, 173,847 shares were acquired at an average price of $26.20.
For the six months of fiscal year 1996, 332,966 shares were acquired at a cost
of approximately $8.0 million, or an average price of $23.94.
Looking Ahead
- -------------
Management is pleased with the Company's year-over-year improvement in
operating performance. These results suggest the Company is doing the right
things and gives management a basis for being cautiously optimistic about the
Company's performance in the remaining six months of fiscal year 1996. The
typical business cycle for the office furniture industry normally produces
stronger sales and earnings growth for the last six months of the year than
for the first six months.
Page 10 of 15<PAGE>
Certain statements by management may include forward-looking information that
is based on current expectations and subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current
expectations due to a number of factors, including competitive conditions,
pricing trends in the office furniture market, acceptance of the Company's
new product introductions, the overall growth rate of the office furniture
industry, and the achievement of cost reductions in the Company's manufacturing
and distribution operations, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other
factors described from time to time in the Company's SEC filings and reports.
Subsequent Event
- ----------------
On July 30, 1996, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
in principle to combine its Heatilator Inc. unit with Heat-N-Glo Fireplace
Products, Inc., headquartered in Savage, Minnesota, a manufacturer of hearth
and heating products. The combined entity will be a subsidiary of the Company
and is expected to have an initial annual sales rate in excess of $160 million.
The transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, approval
by both companies' Boards of Directors, and regulatory clearance.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
The Company is a guarantor of certain leases for showroom space at the
International Design Center (IDC) in Long Island City, New York. On
June 26, 1992, the Company filed an action in the New York Supreme Court
claiming wrongful eviction and breach of representations and warranties
that the IDC would be maintained as a showroom facility. The IDC has
counterclaimed for back rent and other damages. The parties filed cross-
motions for summary judgment. On June 7, 1996, the court denied the
Company's motion for summary judgment and held the Company is liable for
back rent, subject to possible reductions in amounts to be determined at
trial for landlord's asserted breaches of certain restrictive covenants
in the leases. The Company plans to appeal the decision.
On December 28, 1995, Haworth Inc. filed a complaint in Federal District
Court in Kalamazoo, Michigan, alleging that certain products sold by the
Company and its subsidiaries infringed its patents covering electrified
panel systems and asking for damages in an unspecified amount. These
patents expired November 29, 1994, and no claim has been made with
respect to Company products sold after that date. On July 19, 1996,
the parties entered into a tolling agreement pursuant to which the
lawsuit was dismissed on July 25, 1996, subject to Haworth's right to
refile the action after one year if the parties have not otherwise
amicably resolved their dispute.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
