<PAGE>
<PAGE>
PART I
Item 1. Business
The information required in Part I, Item 1, sections (a), (b) is
contained in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders,
pages 1 thru 7, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c)(1)(i) Principal Products
The Registrant operates in the furniture industry and as such does
not have differing segments. "Residential" dealers are those who resell
to individuals for their home use. "Contract" seating and casegood
products are sold to commercial dealers. Additional information
regarding products and market share data is contained in the
Registrant's 1994 Financial Report and Other Information, as shown in
Exhibit I page 22, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c)(1)(ii) Status of New Products or Segments
There were not any major new products or segments during the 1994
fiscal year.
(c)(1)(iii) Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used by the Registrant in the
manufacture of its products are hardwoods for solid wood dining room
and bedroom furniture, casegoods, occasional tables and for the frame
components of seating units; plywood and chipwood for internal parts;
veneers for dining room furniture, wall units, and occasional tables;
water-based and liquid finishes (stains, sealants, lacquers) for
external wood; steel for the mechanisms; leather, cotton, wool,
synthetic and vinyl fabrics for covers; and polyester batting and
non-chlorofluorocarbonated polyurethane foam for cushioning. Steel and
wood products are generally purchased from a number of sources, usually
in the vicinity of the particular plant, and product-covering fabrics
and polyurethane are purchased from a substantial number of sources on
a centralized basis. The Registrant fabricates the majority of the
parts in its products, largely because quality parts made to its exact
specifications are not obtainable at reasonable cost from outside
sources.
Raw materials costs historically have been about 35 percent of net
sales in the upholstery operations and a somewhat higher percentage in
the casegoods operations. Purchased fabric (which includes leather) is
the largest single raw material cost representing about 40 percent of total
1
<PAGE>
upholstery product material costs. Polyurethane (poly) foam for cushions
and padding and lumber are the next two largest types of upholstery raw
material costs. Both fabric and poly are highly sensitive to changes in
the price of oil. Price increases for raw materials excluding lumber have
kept pace with the inflation rate in recent years and are expected to
continue to do so. Lumber prices have increased during the past year by
about 10 to 20 percent, depending on the species of lumber.
Lumber, like most commodities, historically has had sharp changes in
prices over the short term and long term. The Registrant is usually not as
affected by these changes as much as other furniture manufacturers due to
the large percentage of upholstered goods manufactured that do not require
as much lumber as casegoods. Also, wood substitutes, (e.g. steel, plastic)
can be used to some degree in upholstered products.
(c)(1)(iv) Patents, Licenses and Franchises or Concessions
The Registrant has a number of patents on its reclining chair and
rocking chair mechanisms which it believes were important to the early
success of the Registrant and to its present competitive position. It
believes, however, that since it is so firmly established in the
industry, the loss of any single or small group of patents would not
now materially or adversely affect the Registrant's business. The
Registrant has no material licenses, franchises or concessions.
(c)(1)(v) Seasonal Business
The Registrant generally experiences its lowest level of sales
during the first quarter. When possible, the scheduling of production
is designed to maintain generally uniform manufacturing activity
throughout the year, except for mid summer plant shutdowns to coincide
with slower sales.
(c)(1)(vi) Practices Regarding Working Capital Items
The Registrant does not carry significant amounts of upholstered
finished goods inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of
customers or to assure itself of a continuous allotment of goods from
suppliers. Normal customer terms provide for one payment due within 45
days with a 1 percent discount within 30 days (one installment, 1
percent discount 30 net 45).
Most casegoods finished goods inventories are built to provide for
quicker delivery requirements of customers without installment credit
terms therefore, resulting in higher levels of finished product on hand
at any period in time than the upholstered products. Kincaid and
Hammary divisions primarily sell casegood products. Casegoods are also
sold through the Contract Division.
2
<PAGE>
(c)(1)(vii) Customers
The Registrant distributes to over 12,000 locations. The
Registrant does not have any customer whose sales amount to 10 percent
or more of the Registrant's consolidated sales. The Registrant's
approximate dealer mix consists of 39 percent proprietary, 15 percent
to major dealers (Montgomery Ward and other department stores) and
46 percent to general dealers.
Proprietary stores consist of stores dedicated to the sale of
La-Z-Boy products and in-store dedicated galleries. The dedicated stores
include La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores and Showcase Shoppes. In-
store dedicated galleries have been established for each of the Company's
divisions.
(c)(1)(viii) Orders and Backlog
It has been determined that the majority of the Registrant's
Residential Division orders were for dealer stock, with approximately 35
percent of orders being requested directly by customers. Furthermore,
about 20 percent of units produced at all divisions were built for the
Registrant's inventory. The remainder were "built-to-order" for dealers.
As of July 2, 1994, backlogs were approximately $73 million compared
to approximately $77 million on June 26, 1993. This represents less than
six weeks of sales. On average, orders are shipped in approximately five
weeks. Any measure of backlog at a point in time may not be indicative of
future sales performance. The Registrant does not rely on backlogs to
predict future sales since the sales cycle is only five weeks and backlog
can change a lot from week to week.
The decrease in backlogs from 1993 to 1994 can be attributed largely
to the unusually high backlog of orders at the end of 1993. At that time
the furniture industry was emerging from a four year recession and the
Registrant had just introduced many new products, such as the American
Home Collection.
The cancellation policy for La-Z-Boy Chair Company, in general,
is that an order cannot be cancelled after it has been put into
production. Orders from prebuilt stock though, may be cancelled up to the
time of shipment.
(c)(1)(ix) Renegotiation Contracts
The Registrant does not have any material portion of business
which may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of
contracts or subcontracts at the election of the Government.
(c)(1)(x) Competitive Conditions
3
<PAGE>
The Registrant believes that it ranks third in the U.S. in dollar
volume of sales within the Residential furniture industry, which
includes manufacturers of bedroom, dining room and living room
furniture. Based on the most accurate statistics available, the
Registrant believes that it is the largest manufacturer of upholstered
products and solid wood bedroom/dining room products in the United
States.
The Registrant competes primarily by emphasis on quality of its
products, dealer support and a lifetime warranty on the reclining and
legrest mechanisms.
The Registrant has approximately fifteen major competitors in the
reclining or motion chair field and a substantially larger number of
competitors in the upholstery business as a whole and in the Casegoods
and Contract businesses.
The Registrant's best U.S. market share information (in dollars,
not units) indicates that it has about 30 to 35 percent of the
recliner market, above 8 percent of the residential upholstery market,
and less than 2 percent of the residential casegoods market. These
market shares have been increasing slightly over the last three years
in most lines.
(c)(1)(xi) Research & Development
The Registrant spent $6.4 million in fiscal 1994 for new product
development, existing product improvement, quality control,
improvement of current manufacturing operations and research into the
use of new materials in the construction of its products. The
Registrant spent $6.2 million in fiscal 1993 on such activities and
$5.5 million on such activities in fiscal 1992. The Registrant's
customers do not engage in research with respect to the Registrant's
products.
(c)(1)(xii) Compliance with Environmental Regulations
The Registrant has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party
("PRP") at two clean-up sites: Organic Chemical and Seaboard Chemical
Company. At each site, the Company has been identified as a de minimus
contributor and volumetric assessments indicate that the Company's
contributions to each site have been less than .1% of the total. Each
site has either completed or has begun the Phase I cleanup and the total
cleanup costs expected to be incurred at each site have been estimated.
The Company is also participating with a number of other companies in the
voluntary RCRA closure of the Caldwell Systems site. The Company's
volumetric assessment at this site is in the 1% range. The steering
committee responsible for negotiating the cleanup plan with the EPA has
recently reinitiated its negotiations in anticipation of initial cleanup
4
<PAGE>
activities. Estimates of the cleanup costs at the Caldwell site are
also available. The number of PRP's and voluntary participants at the
three sites range from 182 to in excess of 1,750. Based on a review of
the number, composition and financial stability of the PRP's and voluntary
participants at each site, along with cleanup cost estimates available,
management does not believe that any significant risk exists that the
Company will be required to incur total costs in excess of $100,000 at
any of the sites. At April 30, 1994, a total of $300,000 has been accrued
with respect to these three sites.
The Registrant's current environmental compliance concerns are focused
on new regulations for Storm Water Pollution Prevention and the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments. The Registrant has participated in a group storm
water permit program sponsored by its trade association (American
Furniture Manufacturers Association - AFMA); has contracted with a
consulting firm to provide assistance to its plants with the
development of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans; and has
contracted with another firm to conduct detailed air emission
inventories and assist in the preparation of timely and complete
operating permits for Clean Air Act compliance. The Registrant feels that
compliance with these issues is important for maintaining its ongoing
operations and competitive position. The Registrant does not anticipate
that this compliance effort will have a significant effect on capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
(c)(1)(xiii) Number of Employees
The Registrant and its subsidiaries employed 9,370 persons as of
April 30, 1994 and 8,724 persons as of April 24, 1993.
(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales.
The Registrant does not make any material amount of sales of
upholstered furniture to foreign customers. The Registrant sells
upholstered furniture to Canadian customers through its Canadian
subsidiary, La-Z-Boy Canada Limited.
The Registrant also derives an insignificant amount of royalty
revenues from the sale and licensing of its trademarks, tradenames and
patents to certain foreign manufacturers.
Export sales are increasing, but no specific sales objectives have
been set at this time.

9
<PAGE>
government authorities. The Leland, Mississippi plant is under a long
term lease between the Board of Supervisors of Washington County,
Mississippi (lessor) and La-Z-Boy Chair Company (lessee). These leases
are capitalized on the Registrant's books. The Registrant believes
that its plants are well maintained, in good operating condition and
will be adequate to meet its present and near future business
requirements. The average age of the Registrants' properties is 25
years.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of La-Z-Boy Chair Company:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) and (2) on page 11 present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of La-Z-Boy Chair Company and its subsidiaries
at April 30, 1994 and April 24, 1993, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1994,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 25,
1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Accounting Policies
The Company operates in the furniture industry. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial
statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of La-Z-Boy Chair
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Items capitalized, including significant betterments to existing facilities,
are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using primarily accelerated
methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of operating companies acquired over the value of their
net assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years from the date
of acquisition.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is provided on all revenue and expense items included in
the consolidated statement of income, regardless of the period such items are
recognized for income tax purposes. In fiscal 1994 the Company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes (see Note 8).

In April 1991 the Company entered into a $50 million unsecured revolving
credit line (Credit Agreement) to extend through August 31, 1998, requiring
interest payments only through August 31, 1994 and periodic payments of
principal and interest through 1998. The Company is in the process of
renewing the Credit Agreement to require interest only payments through
August 1999 and to require principal payment in August 1999. The Credit
Agreement also includes covenants that, among other things, require the
Company to maintain certain financial statement ratios. The Company has
complied with all of the requirements.
Proceeds from industrial revenue bonds were used to finance the construction
of manufacturing facilities. These arrangements require the Company to insure
and maintain the facilities and make annual payments that include interest.
The bonds are secured by the facilities constructed from the bond proceeds.
Maturities on debt obligations for the five years subsequent to April 30,
1994 are $3 million, $2 million, $3 million, $2 million and $3 million,
respectively. As of April 30, 1994, the Company had remaining unused lines
of credit and commitments of $60 million under several credit arrangements.

The Company's shareholders have adopted Restricted Share Plans under which the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors was
authorized to offer for sale up to an aggregate of 650,000 common shares to
certain employees and non-employee directors at 25% of the fair market value
of the shares. The plans require that all shares be held in an escrow account
for a period of three years in the case of an employee, or until the
participant's service as a director ceases in the case of a director. In the
event of an employee's termination during the escrow period, the shares must
be sold back to the Company at the employee's cost.
Shares aggregating 11,800 and 14,450 were granted and issued during the fiscal
years 1994 and 1993, respectively, under the Restricted Share Plans. Shares
remaining for future grants under the above plans amounted to 442,075 at
April 30, 1994.
The Company's shareholders have also adopted a Performance-Based Restricted
Stock Plan. This plan authorizes the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
of the Board of Directors to award up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares to key
employees. Grants of shares are based entirely on achievement of goals over
12
<PAGE>
a three-year performance period. Any award made under the plan will be at
the sole discretion of the Committee after judging all relevant factors. At
April 30, 1994, performance awards were outstanding pursuant to which up to
47,000 shares and 43,520 shares may be issued in fiscal years 1996 and 1997,
respectively, depending on the extent to which certain specified performance
objectives are met. The costs of performance awards are expensed over the
performance period.
Note 6: Retirement
The Company has contributory and non-contributory retirement plans covering
substantially all factory employees.
Eligible salaried employees are covered under a trusteed profit sharing
retirement plan. Cash contributions to a trust are made annually based on
profits.
The Company has established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for
highly compensated employees called a SERP (Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan).
The Company offers a voluntary 401(k) retirement plan to eligible employees
within all U.S. operating divisions. Currently over 70% of eligible employees
are participating in the plan. Employee contributions are matched with

were $21 million and $17 million at April 30, 1994 and April 24, 1993,

higher rate of increase than 1993's 7% increase over 1992, even after
adjusting for employment increases.
Participant payments increased markedly due to premium payments for most
employees becoming effective January 1993 making 1994 the first full payment
year. Participant payments covered 15% of health-care expenses in 1994.
Net health-care costs in 1994 increased 14% over 1993 compared to a 3% increase
in 1993 over 1992 even though much higher participant payments occurred.
The Company makes annual provisions for any current and future retirement
health-care costs which may not be covered by retirees' collected premiums.
Note 8: Income Taxes
Effective April 25, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which applies a
balance sheet approach to income tax accounting. In accordance with the new
standard, the balance sheet reflects the anticipated tax impact of future
taxable income or deductions implicit in the balance sheet in the form of
temporary differences. These temporary differences reflect the difference
between the basis in assets and liabilities as measured in the financial
statements and as measured by tax laws using enacted tax rates. On April 25,
1993, the Company recorded a tax credit of $3 million or $0.18 per share,
which represents the net increase in the net deferred tax asset as of that
date. Such amount has been reflected in the consolidated statement of
income as an accounting change. Prior years' financial statements have not
been restated.

Note 9: Contingencies
The Company has been named as defendant in various lawsuits arising in the
normal course of business. It is not possible at the present time to estimate
the ultimate outcome of these actions; however, management and the Company's
legal counsel believe that the resultant liability, if any, will not be
material based on the Company's previous experience with lawsuits of these
types.
The Registrant has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party
("PRP") at two clean-up sites: Organic Chemical and Seaboard Chemical
Company. At each site, the Company has been identified as a de minimus
contributor and volumetric assessments indicate that the Company's
contributions to each site have been less than .1% of the total. Each
site has either completed or has begun the Phase I cleanup and the total
cleanup costs expected to be incurred at each site have been estimated.
The Company is also participating with a number of other companies in the
voluntary RCRA closure of the Caldwell Systems site. The Company's
volumetric assessment at this site is in the 1% range. The steering
committee responsible for negotiating the cleanup plan with the EPA has
recently reinitiated its negotiations in anticipation of initial cleanup
activities. Estimates of the cleanup costs at the Caldwell site are
also available. The number of PRP's and voluntary participants at the
three sites range from 182 to in excess of 1,750. Based on a review of
the number, composition and financial stability of the PRP's and voluntary
participants at each site, along with cleanup cost estimates available,
management does not believe that any significant risk exists that the
Company will be required to incur total costs in excess of $100,000 at
any of the sites. At April 30, 1994, a total of $300,000 has been accrued
with respect to these three sites.

La-Z-Boy is organized into five operating divisions. Residential (67 years in
business) accounts for the majority of the upholstery category. Kincaid (48
years) is part of the wood category. La-Z-Boy Contract Furniture Group (22
years) is all of the Contract line. Hammary (50 years) is primarily in the
wood category. La-Z-Boy Canada (65 years) is part of the upholstery category.
La-Z-Boy's market share of all U.S. upholstery furniture products is above 8%.
On the basis of available market share data (in dollars), La-Z-Boy has 30-35%
of the U.S. single-seat recliner market and is the world's largest recliner
manufacturer. (The next largest U.S. competitor holds roughly 20% of the
U.S. market.) La-Z-Boy's sleep sofa current market share, approximately
12%, has been growing over the last three years.
Market share data by individual product lines other than recliners and sleepers
(e.g., sofas, reclining sofas, wood bedroom and dining room, wood occasional,
etc.) indicate that, although La-Z-Boy does not have a market share above 10%
in any one line, the Company's market share has been growing over the last
three years in most lines.

Analysis of Operations
Year Ended April 30, 1994
(1994 compared with 1993)
U.S. furniture industry sales increased roughly 6-8% in La-Z-Boy's fiscal 1994
over 1993. La-Z-Boy's sales increase of 18% over 1993 continued to exceed the
increase experienced by the industry as a whole. Approximately 2% of this
increase was due to 1994 including 53 weeks while 1993 contained 52 weeks.
Management believes the sales volume increase was largely due to improvements
in the economy. Other factors contributing to the sales increase to a lesser
degree include the opening of more La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores and
capital expenditures the last few years at Hammary and Kincaid helping to
improve product quality, delivery and availability. Selling price increases
were generally in the 2-4% range. Major product lines that experienced rates
of unit growth above the Company average were the modulars, lower end
recliners, sofas, reclining sofas, high end recliners and bedroom (wood).
No divisions or companies were acquired or disposed of during the last six
years. Therefore, all sales growth has been internally generated.
During 1994, the La-Z-Boy Contract Furniture Group was formed through the
merger of the former La-Z-Boy Contract and RoseJohnson divisions.
The number of independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores continued
to grow in 1994. Most of these stores were major upgrades or new locations
for earlier generation La-Z-Boy Showcase Shoppes. These stores are part of
the reason La-Z-Boy sales growth has exceeded the industry average. In
addition, the number of smaller in-store galleries continued to grow for all
divisions.
The gross margin (gross profit dollars as a percent of sales) of 26.2% in 1994
was up from the 26.0% gross margin in 1993. The lack of some one-time costs
that affected 1993 relating to start up and training for new styles and
changes to manufacturing techniques accounted for an improvement of
approximately .8 points. To a lesser degree, the gross margin improved due to
the 18% sales increase covering a larger portion of fixed costs. These reasons
for improvement more than offset the combined .7 point unfavorable effects of
increased sales of product lines with lower-than-average gross margins along
with increased costs associated with increasing production volume quickly to
keep up with sales. To a lesser degree, increased health-care cost also
unfavorably affected the gross margin.
Other income declined in 1994 due to a reduction in interest income, changes in
pension-related assumptions and Canadian currency exchange losses.
Income tax expense as a percent of pretax income increased to 40.3% in 1994
from 39.8% in 1993. The effect of the 1% increase in the federal tax rate to
35% was partially offset by changes in profitability among divisions.
25
<PAGE>
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which changed the method of accounting for income taxes, was adopted
by the Company effective April 25, 1993. This change in accounting principle
increased net income and the net deferred tax asset by $3.4 million or $.18
per share.
Analysis of Operations
Year Ended April 24, 1993
(1993 compared with 1992)
La-Z-Boy's 1993 sales increase of 10% over 1992 once again exceeded the growth
in the U.S. residential furniture industry as a whole. The 1993 sales increase
together with forecasted growth in the industry indicates that the furniture
industry recession which adversely affected results for the previous four years
has ended. Selling price increases during 1993 were generally in the 1-3%
range. Major product lines that experienced rates of unit sales growth above
the Company average were the reclining sofa, high end recliner, lower end
recliners, bedroom (wood) and occasional (wood) product lines.
During 1993, 18 independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores opened,
bringing the total number of stores to 63. The rate of new store openings and
their sales volumes are meeting management's expectations. Most of these
openings were major upgrades or new locations for earlier generation La-Z-Boy
Showcase Shoppes.
Gross margin of 26.0% in 1993 was down from the 26.9% gross margin in 1992
even though unit volume increased. This decline in gross margin was primarily
in the Residential division which generates roughly 70% of consolidated sales.
The Residential division gross margin declined for two main reasons. The
primary reason was that unexpectedly high labor and overhead costs were
incurred at most plants. These costs were primarily caused by the introduction
of new styles and efforts to improve plant methods while at the same time,
reduce inventories, improve the flexibility to handle a greater number of
different styles, and ship dealer orders more complete and quicker than in the
past. In addition, an anticipated unfavorable product line mix effect occurred
from selling more product lines with lower-than-average gross margins.
S,G & A expense for 1993 of 19.3% of sales was lower than the 1992 percentage
of 20.0% primarily due to the relatively large sales increase and a decline in
bad debt expense.
Interest expense declined $2.0 million in 1993 from 1992 due to a combination
of lower debt principal amounts and lower interest rates.
The increase in other income was primarily due to increased interest income
realized from higher cash balances throughout the year more than offsetting
lower interest rates.
26
<PAGE>
Income tax expense as a percent of pretax income increased to 39.8% in 1993
from 37.1% in 1992. In 1992, there was a one-time tax benefit from the merger
of a previously acquired division.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Cash flows from operations amounted to $28 million in 1994, $35 million in
1993 and $36 million in 1992 and have usually been adequate for day-to-day
expenditures, dividends to shareholders and capital expenditures.
The 1994 cash flow from operations declined $6.5 million from 1993. Other
assets and liabilities changed from a source of cash in 1993 to a use of cash
in 1994 primarily due to the payment of income taxes. Also, inventories
increased $6.7 million.
Capital expenditures were $17.5 million in 1994 compared to $12.2 million for
both 1993 and 1992. Some capacity expansions occurred in 1994 while the prior
two years did not require expansions. Capacity utilization of about 70% at
the end of 1994 was up from about 65% at the end of 1993.
Cash flows relating to debt caused both inflows and outflows of cash. No new
debt was raised in the last three years. During 1992, a $15.0 million bridge
loan was refinanced through a private placement and two industrial revenue
bonds totaling $9.7 million were refinanced at a lower interest rate.
Retirements of debt totaled between $1 million and $15 million for each of the
last three years and are primarily related to paying down the $53 million debt
incurred in 1987 to acquire an operating division. While the cash flow
statement shows that $39.3 million of debt was retired in 1992, $24.7 million
relates to refinancing as described above.
As of April 30, 1994, the Company had unused lines of credit and commitments of
$60 million under several credit arrangements. In April 1991, the Company
entered into a $50 million unsecured revolving credit line (Credit Agreement) to
extend through August 31, 1998, requiring interest payments only through August
31, 1994 and periodic payments of principal and interest through 1998. At year
end, the Company was in the process of renewing the Credit Agreement to require
interest only payments through August 1999 and to require principal payment in
August 1999. The credit Agreement also includes covenants that, among other
things, require the Company to maintain certain financial statement ratios.
The Company has complied with all of the requirements.
In October 1987, the La-Z-Boy Board of Directors authorized a one-million
share stock repurchase program. In February 1993, the Board authorized the
repurchase of another one million shares. As of April 30, 1994 and April 24,
1993, the Company had acquired about 1,010,000 and 930,000 shares, respectively,
of its own stock. The Company plans to be in the market for its shares as
changes in its stock price and other financial opportunities arise.
27
<PAGE>
The financial strength of the Company is reflected in two commonly used ratios
- -the current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) and the
debt-to-capital ratio (total debt divided by beginning of the year shareholders'
equity plus total debt). The current ratio at the end of 1994 and 1993 was
4.1:1 and 3.8:1, respectively. The debt to capital ratio was 17.4% at the end
of 1994 and 18.5% at the end of 1993.
La-Z-Boy provides for all current and future potential liabilities as required
including those relating to postretirement benefits.
The Company is subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and
regulations. The Company accrues for certain environmental remediation
activities related to past operations, including Superfund clean-up and
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act compliance activities, for which
commitments have been made and reasonable cost estimates are possible.
Currently, the Company has been determined to be a "de-minimus" level
potentially responsible party (PRP) at three clean-up sites and has provided
for any known costs relating to these sites. The Company is also conducting
voluntary compliance audits at Company owned facilities.
Outlook
La-Z-Boy's 1995 fiscal year to end April 29, 1995 will include 52 weeks
compared to fiscal year 1994, which included 53 weeks. This is approximately
a 2% reduction in the length of the year which will affect sales and other
financial comparisons from year to year.
The Company expects the economic recovery to continue through calendar year
1994. Sales in fiscal year 1995 are expected to exceed the 1994 results but
due to the stronger than expected year in 1994, the double digit sales
increase experienced in 1994 is not expected to repeat.
One of La-Z-Boy's financial objectives is to achieve sales increases of 10%
per year or increases at least greater than that of the furniture industry.
Some furniture industry forecasts for calendar year 1994 over 1993 are in the
5-7% range. For 1994, La-Z-Boy sales increased 18% over 1993.
The Company's major residential efforts and opportunities for sales growth
greater than industry averages are focused outside the recliner market segment,
e.g., stationary upholstery (single and multi-seat), reclining sofas and
modulars, wood occasional and wall units and wood bedroom and dining room.
The newly formed La-Z-Boy Contract Furniture Group sales growth rate in the
next few years is expected to exceed the average of the other divisions.
Today, this division is not generating a profit and profits are not expected
to improve in 1995 due to research and development expenditures of
approximately $1.5 million, reorganization costs and start-up costs associated
with the recent merger of the two formerly separate contract divisions.
Eventually, profit margins comparable to the Company's average rates are
believed to be able to be achieved. Profitability at this level would help the
28
<PAGE>
Company reach the financial goals described below even though this division is
not large enough to dramatically affect the consolidated results.
Given no recession, no major competitive environment changes, no major strategic
changes and other similar assumptions, profitability is expected to improve in
1996 and the division is expected to begin generating an operating profit
between 1997 and 1998. The research and development expenditures are
necessary as the products of the two former divisions had not been refreshed
recently and also to redesign the products in an integrated way. In addition,
the lines are to expand into a broader range of products. R & D costs are
expected to remain around this level through 1996 but are expected to become a
smaller percentage of sales as volume increases. The reorganization and start
up costs of the division are estimated to be between $.5 and $2 million.
A second financial goal is to improve operating profit as a percent of sales
in 1995 compared to 1994. For 1994, the operating profit margin was 7.4% of
sales.
A third goal is to achieve operating profit, excluding acquisition
amortization interest income and other income (return) as a percent of
beginning of the year capital of 20%. For 1994, return on capital was 19.4%.
La-Z-Boy has an opportunity to improve its margins through increases in
efficiency, improvements in the utilization of equipment and facilities and
increases in sales volumes, even though product line growth may be in lines
with lower gross margins.
Capital expenditures are forecast to be approximately $19 to $24 million in
1995 compared to $17.5 million in 1994. The 1995 forecast includes the
construction of a new upholstery factory in Arkansas. The 396,000 square foot
plant is being constructed to replace an existing older 200,000 square foot
plant. Long-term financing of the expected $7 million cost is planned to be
through the use of industrial revenue bonds.
The Registrant has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party
("PRP") at two clean-up sites: Organic Chemical and Seaboard Chemical
Company. At each site, the Company has been identified as a de minimus
contributor and volumetric assessments indicate that the Company's
contributions to each site have been less than .1% of the total. Each
site has either completed or has begun the Phase I cleanup and the total
cleanup costs expected to be incurred at each site have been estimated.
The Company is also participating with a number of other companies in the
voluntary RCRA closure of the Caldwell Systems site. The Company's
volumetric assessment at this site is in the 1% range. The steering
29

committee responsible for negotiating the cleanup plan with the EPA has
recently reinitiated its negotiations in anticipation of initial cleanup
activities. Estimates of the cleanup costs at the Caldwell site are
also available. The number of PRP's and voluntary participants at the
three sites range from 182 to in excess of 1,750. Based on a review of
the number, composition and financial stability of the PRP's and voluntary
participants at each site, along with cleanup cost estimates available,
management does not believe that any significant risk exists that the
Company will be required to incur total costs in excess of $100,000 at
any of the sites. At April 30, 1994, a total of $300,000 has been accrued
with respect to these three sites.
