Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
We are making forward-looking statements in Parts I and II of this document and
documents incorporated by reference in those Parts that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements include information
concerning possible or assumed future actions, events or results of operations.
More specifically, forward-looking statements include the information in this
document regarding:
future income and margins future economic performance
growth industry trends
adequacy and cost of financial resources management plans
Forward-looking statements also include those preceded or followed by the words
"anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "hopes," "plans," "intends" and
"expects" or similar expressions. With respect to all forward-looking
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The reader should understand that economic and industry conditions, competitive
factors, operating factors and factors relating to recent acquisitions, as well
as other important factors, could affect our future results and could
cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in our forward-looking statements.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
The successor to a business founded over 70 years ago, La-Z-Boy is one of the
three largest residential furniture manufacturers in the United States. Within
the last fiscal year, we acquired three other furniture manufacturers; Bauhaus
USA, Inc., Alexvale Furniture, Inc. and LADD Furniture, Inc. These acquisitions,
all of which were accounted for as purchases, increased our sales and the number
of our employees by about 50 percent on an annualized basis. You can find more
information about these acquisitions in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements (pages 28 and 29) and the "Management's Discussion and Analysis"
section (pages 35 through 38), both of which are included in Exhibit (13) to
this report and are incorporated in this item by reference.
Principal Products and Industry Segments
"Residential" dealers are those who resell to individuals for their home use
including upholstered furniture as well as casegoods. Our largest segment is the
Residential upholstery segment which includes sofas, sleepers, recliners and
modular units. Our second largest segment is Residential casegoods which
includes primarily wood products such as dining room and living room tables,
bedroom and youth furniture. "Contract" dealers are those who resell seating and
casegood products to commercial users. With the addition of American of
Martinsville operating division (a division of LADD), we greatly increased our
business in the Contract segment such that the
4
<PAGE>
Contract segment was separately disclosed in 2000. Additional detailed
information regarding products and segments can be found in Note 13 to our
consolidated financial statements (pages 33 and 34) and our "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" section (pages 35 and 36), both of which are included
in Exhibit (13) and are incorporated in this item by reference.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are:
- leather, cotton, wool, synthetic and vinyl fabrics for covers
- hardwoods for solid wood dining room and bedroom furniture,
occasional tables, business furniture and the frame components of
seating units
- plywood and chipwood for internal parts
- veneers for wall units, occasional tables and casegoods
- water-based and liquid finishes (stains, sealant, lacquers) for
external wood
- steel for motion mechanisms
- polyester batting and non-chlorofluorocarbonated polyurethane foam
for cushioning and padding.
We generally purchase hardwoods, steel and padding parts from a number of
sources, usually in the vicinity of the particular plant. We purchase
product-covering fabrics, plywood and polyurethane from a lesser number of
sources on a mostly centralized basis.
Raw material costs historically have been about 38 percent of sales in the
Residential upholstery segment, a somewhat higher percentage in Residential
casegoods and about 42 percent in our Contract segment. Price increases for raw
materials have been slightly lower than the inflation rate in recent years and
we expect them to continue at this rate.
Purchased cover (which includes leather) is our largest single upholstery raw
material cost representing about 41 percent of total upholstery raw material
costs.
Polyurethane (poly) is our next largest type of upholstery raw material cost.
Poly is sensitive to changes in the price of oil.
Hardwood lumber is our largest single casegoods raw material cost representing
over 60 percent of total casegoods raw material costs. Hardwood lumber
historically has had measurable changes in prices over the short term. Hardwood
lumber costs have not changed much recently.
Contract raw materials are similar to Residential casegoods and Residential
upholstery materials but typically include additional types of purchased parts
such as bases and swivels. These parts are available from a number of suppliers.
Seasonal Business
We generally experience our lowest level of sales during our first quarter. When
possible, we schedule production to maintain generally uniform manufacturing
activity throughout the year, except for mid-summer plant shutdowns, to coincide
with slower sales.
5
<PAGE>
Practices Regarding Working Capital Items
We do not carry significant amounts of upholstered finished goods in inventory.
We build casegoods to inventory in order to provide for quicker delivery
requirements of customers, which results in higher levels of finished casegoods
product than upholstery products on hand at any period. Normal customer terms
are net due within 45 days with either a 0 or 1 percent discount within 10 days.
Extended dating is often offered as part of sales promotion programs.
Customers
We distribute to over 20,000 locations. We did not have any customer whose sales
amounted to 5 percent or more of our fiscal year 2000 consolidated sales. Our
2000 dealer mix was about 48 percent "proprietary", 14 percent to major dealers
(Montgomery Ward and other department stores) and 38 percent to general dealers.
Because 2000 only included three months of LADD sales, we expect the 2001 dealer
mix to have a higher percentage of sales to general dealers and major dealers
and a lower percentage of sales to proprietary dealers.
"Proprietary" stores or galleries are those that have an agreement to sell
products from one of La-Z-Boy's divisions or a company that we approve. La-Z-Boy
companies in each of its business segments have proprietary distribution, which
means square feet of selling space is totally dedicated to our products.
Orders and Backlog
Residential upholstery orders are primarily built to a specific dealer order or
an end consumer order and are shipped between two to six weeks from receipt of
the order. Orders in the Contract segment are consumer and dealer orders but
shipment may be scheduled for longer time periods. Residential casegoods are
primarily produced to a stock order (not a dealer or consumer order), which
results in higher finished goods inventory on hand but quicker availability to
ship to dealers and greater batch size manufacturing efficiencies.
As of May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999, backlogs were approximately $242 million
and $108 million, respectively. This increase in backlog was primarily due to
our fiscal 2000 acquisitions. These amounts represent less than six weeks of
sales. The measure of backlog at a point in time may not be indicative of future
sales performance. We do not rely entirely on backlogs to predict future sales.
For most operating divisions, our cancellation policy is that an order cannot be
canceled after it has been selected for production. Orders from pre-built stock,
though, may be canceled up to the time of shipment.
Competitive Conditions
We rank in the top three in the United States in dollar volume of furniture
manufacturing sales, which includes manufacturers of bedroom, dining room and
living room furniture. Some of the larger companies that compete with our
Residential upholstery and Residential casegoods
6
<PAGE>
segments are Bassett Furniture, Ethan Allen, Furniture Brands International,
Lifestyle Furnishings International, Stanley and Natuzzi. We also have a
substantial number of small and medium size competitors in all three of our
operating segments.
We compete primarily by emphasis on the quality and styling of our products,
dealer support, brand name, value, customer service and delivery.
Research and Development Activities
We spent $10.6 million in fiscal 2000 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
products. We spent $8.4 million in fiscal 1999 on such activities and $9.5
million on such activities in fiscal 1998. Our customers generally do not engage
in research with respect to the products we manufacture. Most of our operating
divisions develop and manage their own product lines. New product groups or
styles are typically introduced at industry trade shows (markets), and based
upon their acceptance at the markets, the products are either placed into
production or withdrawn from the markets.
Patents, Licenses and Franchises
We hold several patents but we believe that the loss of any single or group of
patents would not materially affect our business. We have no material licenses
or franchises. Our agreements with our "proprietary" dealers are a key part of
our marketing strategies. See customers section above for details of these
customers.
Compliance with Environmental Regulations
We have been named as a potentially responsible party at six environmental
clean-up sites. Based on a review of all currently known facts and our
experience with previous environmental clean-up sites, we do not anticipate that
future expenditures for environmental clean-up sites will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Employees
We employed approximately 21,600 persons as of July 1, 2000. Our Residential
upholstery segment employed approximately 13,800 of those employees, Residential
casegoods employed approximately 5,300 of them, Contract employed approximately
2,000 of them, and we employed approximately 500 non-segment personnel. Less
than 10 percent of our employees are unionized. Substantially all of them were
employed on a full-time basis.
Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
Less than 5 percent of our total sales are exports. We sell upholstered
furniture to Canadian customers through a Canadian subsidiary and to European
customers through a United Kingdom subsidiary. We also make a small amount of
sales in Mexico through a Mexican subsidiary and
7
<PAGE>
we have entered into a joint venture in Thailand that has began making sales in
Australia and the Far East.
We also derive a small amount of royalty revenues from the sale and licensing of
trademarks, tradenames and patents to certain foreign manufacturers.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
At April 29, 2000, we owned or leased approximately 19.0 million square feet of
manufacturing, warehousing, office and showroom facilities. The Residential
upholstery segment occupied approximately 9.8 million square feet, Residential
casegoods occupied approximately 6.6 million square feet and Contract occupied
approximately 2.6 million square feet. These facilities are mostly less than 30
years old, are well maintained and are insured. Major land or building additions
are not expected to be needed to increase capacity. We own most of our plants
and lease most of the others under long term industrial revenue bonds. For
information on terms of operating leases for our properties see Note 5 to our
consolidated financial statements (page 30), which is included in Exhibit (13)
to this report and is incorporated in this item by reference.
In addition to the properties mentioned above, we owned or leased approximately
0.3 million square feet of retail selling, retail warehousing and retail office
facilities.
Our facilities are located in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington D.C. and the countries of Canada, United
Kingdom, Mexico and a joint venture in Thailand.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We have been named as a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary
course of business. It is not possible at the present time to estimate the
ultimate outcome of these actions; however, based on our previous experience
with lawsuits of these types, we believe that the resultant liability, if any,
will not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY.
No matters were voted upon by our shareholders during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000.
