The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.
LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of La-Z-Boy Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries. The April 27, 2013, balance sheet was derived from our audited financial statements. The interim financial information is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed), which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim period. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which will occur for the full fiscal year ending April 26, 2014.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we agreed in principle to sell our Bauhaus operating unit to a group of investors. The agreement includes the sale of substantially all of the assets of our Bauhaus business unit. As a result of the expected sale, our Bauhaus business unit assets are reported as held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and their operating results are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Note 2: Allowance for Credit Losses
As of January 25, 2014, we had gross notes receivable of $4.5 million outstanding from five customers, with a corresponding allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million. We have collateral from these customers in the form of inventory and/or real estate to support the net carrying value of these notes. We do not accrue interest income on these notes receivable, but we record interest income when it is received. During the nine months ended January 25, 2014, $2.7 million of our notes receivable and a corresponding $1.9 million of allowance for credit losses were written off, primarily related to our acquisition of the assets of two independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® dealers during the period. Of the $4.5 million in notes receivable as of January 25, 2014, $0.6 million is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months, and was categorized as receivables in our consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the notes receivable and the entire allowance for credit losses were categorized as other long-term assets.
The following is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to our notes receivable as of and for the quarter and nine months ended January 25, 2014, and January 26, 2013:

Our consolidated balance sheet at January 25, 2014, included $10.5 million of available-for-sale investments and $1.6 million of trading securities in other current assets and $41.9 million of available-for-sale investments in other long-term assets. Available-for-sale investments of $10.8 million and trading securities of $1.1 million were included in other current assets, and available-for-sale investments of $29.2 million were included in other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheet at April 27, 2013. At January 25, 2014, and April 27, 2013, $37.9 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of these investments were to enhance returns on our cash. The remaining investments were designated to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan and our executive deferred compensation plan. If there were a decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost and the decline was considered other-than-temporary, the amount of decline below cost would be charged against earnings.
The following is a summary of investments at January 25, 2014, and April 27, 2013:

Note 5: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we acquired the assets of one independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® dealer in exchange for that dealer’s net notes and accounts receivable, valued at $1.6 million. As a result of the acquisition we reacquired the right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in that market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $0.6 million in our Retail segment related to this reacquired right.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we acquired the assets of one independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® dealer in exchange for that dealer’s net notes and accounts receivable, valued at $1.4 million, and a cash payment to the dealer of $0.8 million. As a result of the acquisition we reacquired the right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in that market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $0.5 million in our Retail segment related to this reacquired right, and goodwill of $1.1 million.
The following is a roll-forward of goodwill for the nine months ended January 25, 2014:

Note 7: Product Warranties
We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties at the time the revenue is recognized. We estimate future warranty claims based on claim experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. Our liability estimates incorporate the cost of repairs including materials consumed, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform the repair and any costs associated with delivery of the repaired product to the customer. Over 90% of our warranty liability relates to our Upholstery segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and up to a lifetime on certain mechanisms and frames. Labor costs relating to our parts are warrantied for one year from the date of purchase by the end customer. Considerable judgment is used in making our estimates. Differences between actual and estimated costs are recorded when the differences are known.
A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability for the nine months ended January 25, 2014, and January 26, 2013, is as follows:

Stock Options. We granted 174,595 stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Stock options are accounted for as equity-based awards because upon exercise of the stock option they will be settled in common shares. Compensation expense for stock options is equal to the fair value on the date the award was approved and is recognized over the vesting period. The vesting period for our stock options ranges from one to four years. Options granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed immediately because they vest upon retirement. The fair value for the employee stock options granted was estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of our common shares. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the stock option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination trends. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of the grant.
The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was calculated using the following assumptions:

Stock Appreciation Rights. We granted 141,546 stock appreciation rights to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. SARs will be paid in cash upon vesting and as such are accounted for as liability-based awards that will be remeasured to reflect the fair value at the end of each reporting period. These awards vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years. SARs granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed immediately because they vest upon retirement. The fair value for the SARs is estimated at the end of each period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the SARs and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination trends (which is consistent with the expected life of our option awards). The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life assumed at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of the SARs granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was remeasured at January 25, 2014, using the following assumptions:

Restricted Stock Units. We granted 125,007 restricted stock units to employees during the first nine months of fiscal 2014. These units are accounted for as liability-based awards because upon vesting these awards will be paid in cash. Compensation expense is initially measured and recognized based on the market value (intrinsic value) of our common stock on the grant date and amortized over the vesting period. The liability is remeasured and adjusted based on the market value (intrinsic value) of our common shares on the last day of the reporting period until paid with a corresponding adjustment to reflect the cumulative amount of compensation expense. The fair value of the restricted stock units at January 25, 2014, was $27.19. Each restricted stock unit is the equivalent of one common share. Restricted stock units vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date for a term of four years.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we granted 34,200 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors. They vest upon the director leaving the board. They will be settled in shares of our common stock upon vesting, and we account for them as equity-based awards. Compensation expense for these awards is measured and recognized on the grant date based on the market price of our common shares on the date of grant, which was $21.20.
Performance Awards. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we granted 35,083 performance-based units and 191,410 performance-based shares. Payout of these grants depends on our financial performance (80%) and a market-based condition based on the total return that our shareholders receive on their investment in our stock relative to returns earned through investments in other public companies (20%). The performance award opportunity ranges from 50% of the employee’s target award if minimum performance requirements are met to a maximum of 200% of the target award based on the attainment of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years.
The performance-based units are accounted for as liability-based awards because upon vesting they will be paid in cash. For performance-based units that vest based on performance conditions, the fair value of each unit was $26.59 at January 25, 2014, which was the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reporting period less expected dividends to be paid prior to vesting, and compensation cost is expensed based on the probability that the performance goals will be obtained. For performance-based units that vest based on market conditions, the fair value of the award was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the last day of the reporting period, and compensation cost is expensed over the vesting period. The liability for these units is remeasured and adjusted based on the Monte Carlo valuation at the end of each reporting period until paid. Based on the Monte Carlo valuation, the fair value of each performance-based unit that vests based on market conditions was $42.93 at January 25, 2014.
The performance-based shares are accounted for as equity-based awards because upon vesting they will be settled in common shares. The grant date fair value of performance-based shares is expensed over the service period. For performance-based shares that vest based on performance conditions, the fair value of each share was $18.58, which was the market value of our common shares on the date of grant less expected dividends to be paid prior to vesting, and compensation cost is expensed based on the probability that the performance goals will be obtained. For performance-based shares that vest based on market conditions, the fair value of each share was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date of grant, and compensation cost is expensed over the vesting period, regardless of the ultimate vesting of the award, similar to the expensing of a stock option award. The fair value for each performance-based share that vests based on market conditions, as determined by the Monte Carlo valuation, was $26.08 at the grant date.
In fiscal 2013, we granted performance-based units as described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2013. For those of the performance-based units that vest based on performance conditions, the fair value of each unit was $26.83 at January 25, 2014, which was the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reporting period less expected dividends to be paid prior to vesting. For those of the performance-based units that vest based on market conditions, the fair value of each unit was $47.56 at January 25, 2014, which was based on the Monte Carlo valuation at the end of the reporting period.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 33.2%, and was 33.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to 34.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Items impacting our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included a tax benefit of $0.9 million in the second quarter for the release of a valuation allowance relating to certain U.S. state deferred tax assets and a net tax benefit of $0.2 million in the third quarter primarily from adjustments to deferred taxes as a result of Mexico tax law changes. Absent discrete adjustments, the effective tax rate for continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 would have been 35.0%.
Our consolidated balance sheet at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 reflected a $1.4 million net liability for uncertain income tax positions. It is reasonably possible that $0.2 million of this liability will be settled within the next 12 months. The remaining balance will be paid or released as tax audits are completed or settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available.
In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service enacted final tax regulations regarding the capitalization and expensing of amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. The regulations also include guidance regarding the retirement of depreciable property. The regulations are required to be effective in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, although taxpayers may choose to apply them in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. We are currently assessing the impact of the final regulations on our financial statements.
Note 12: Earnings per Share
Certain share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends prior to vesting are considered participating securities. We grant restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares; as participating securities, the unvested shares are required to be included in the calculation of our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Contingent common shares reflect the dilutive effect of common shares that would be issued under the terms of performance-based share grants made to employees, assuming the reporting period was the performance period.
We had outstanding options to purchase 0.2 million shares for the quarter and nine months ended January 26, 2013, with a weighted average exercise price of $20.74. We excluded the effect of these options from the diluted share calculation for these periods since the weighted average exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price, and including the options’ effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no outstanding options to purchase shares that were excluded from the diluted share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the quarter and nine months ended January 25, 2014.
Note 13: Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
|
· |
Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access. |
|
· |
Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
|
· |
Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-financial assets such as trade names, goodwill, and other long-lived assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014 we recorded the value of the assets of our Bauhaus business unit at fair value. See Note 14 for further discussion.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 25, 2014, and April 27, 2013:

At January 25, 2014, and April 27, 2013, we held available-for-sale marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, as well as trading securities to fund future obligations of our executive deferred compensation plan. The fair value measurements for our securities are based upon quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs.
Note
14: Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we agreed in principle to sell our Bauhaus operating unit to a group of investors. The agreement includes the sale of substantially all of the assets of our Bauhaus business unit. As a result of the expected sale we recorded an impairment to the value of the assets to be sold of $1.1 million, because the consideration expected to be paid was less than the recorded amount of the net assets to be sold.
Our Bauhaus business unit assets are reported as held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and their operating results are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We had historically reported the results of our Bauhaus business unit as a component of our Upholstery segment. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, and continuing cash flows from the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 through the closing date of the sale are not expected to be significant.
The results of the discontinued operations for Bauhaus for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have prepared this Management’s Discussion and Analysis as an aid to better understand our financial results. It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. After a cautionary note about forward-looking statements, we begin with an introduction to our key businesses. We then provide discussions of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and critical accounting policies.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we agreed in principle to sell our Bauhaus operating unit to a group of investors. The agreement includes the sale of substantially all of the assets of our Bauhaus business unit. As a result of the expected sale, our Bauhaus business unit assets are reported as held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and their operating results are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As such, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis reflects the results of continuing operations. We had historically reported the results of our Bauhaus business unit as a component of our Upholstery segment.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
We make forward-looking statements in this report, and our representatives may make oral forward-looking statements from time to time. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future actions, events or results of operations. More specifically, forward-looking statements may include information regarding:
¾ future income, margins and cash flows
|
¾ future economic performance
|
¾ future growth
|
¾ industry and importing trends
|
¾ adequacy and cost of financial resources
|
¾ 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.
Actual results could differ materially from those we anticipate or project due to a number of factors, including: (a) changes in consumer confidence and demographics; (b) speed of economic recovery or the possibility of another recession; (c) changes in the real estate and credit markets and their effects on our customers and suppliers; (d) international political unrest, terrorism or war; (e) volatility in energy and other commodities prices; (f) the impact of logistics on imports; (g) interest rate and currency exchange rate changes; (h) operating factors, such as supply, labor or distribution disruptions; (i) any court actions requiring us to return any of the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act distributions we have received; (j) changes in the domestic or international regulatory environment; (k) adoption of new accounting principles; (l) severe weather or other natural events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, tornadoes and tsunamis; (m) our ability to procure fabric rolls and leather hides or cut-and-sewn fabric and leather sets domestically or abroad; (n) information technology conversions or system failures; (o) effects of our brand awareness and marketing programs; (p) the discovery of defects in our products resulting in delays in manufacturing, recall campaigns, reputational damage, or increased warranty costs; (q) litigation arising out of alleged defects in our products; (r) our ability to locate new La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (or store owners) and negotiate favorable lease terms for new or existing locations; (s) our ability to integrate acquired businesses and realize the benefit of anticipated synergies; and (t) those matters discussed in Item 1A of our fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other factors identified from time-to-time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information or new developments or for any other reason.

Sales
Consolidated sales increased $10.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Our Upholstery and Retail segments both reported higher sales as compared to the prior year, with our Upholstery segment sales increase driven by the combination of stronger volume and selling price increases and our Retail segment sales increase driven by the acquisition of new stores and an improved merchandise mix. This was partly offset by continued weakness in sales volume in our Casegoods segment.
These items are further explained in the discussion of each segment’s results later in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Operating Margin
Our operating margin increased 0.6 percentage point for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
|
· |
Our gross margin improved 1.9 percentage points in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross margin in our Upholstery segment benefited from favorable absorption of fixed costs resulting from sales volume increases. Our Retail segment gross margin improved as a result of improved merchandising. |
|
· |
Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of sales increased 1.3 percentage points in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. |
|
o |
Incentive compensation costs were $3.8 million higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 1.0 percentage point. The main drivers of the increase in incentive compensation costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were the improvement in our consolidated financial performance and the increase in our share price during the quarter. Several of our share-based compensation awards are liability-based and/or performance-based awards, and their cumulative expense to date is adjusted at the end of each quarter based on the share price on the last day of the reporting period and the ultimate amount of awards expected to vest. |
|
o |
Advertising costs increased 0.5 percentage point in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, due primarily to increased spending related to our Live life comfortably marketing campaign.
|
|
o |
Increased sales resulted in increased absorption of fixed costs, most notably in our Retail segment’s leverage of fixed occupancy costs, somewhat offsetting the increases in compensation and advertising. |

Sales
Our Upholstery segment’s sales increased $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 3.4%. Increased volume drove a 3.0% increase and higher selling prices resulted in a 1.3% increase in sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. These items were partly offset by unfavorable changes in product mix. The increased units sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year most notably included more motion furniture, including recliners, as well as an increase in occasional chairs. We sold more power units, which have higher average selling prices than units without power, during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, which also contributed to the increase in sales. We believe the increase in unit volume was a result of our Live life comfortably marketing campaign, the strength of our stationary product introductions and our improved product value and styling. We also believe these factors continued to drive increased volume for our La-Z-Boy branded business generally and generated the improved performance of our retail store network, which includes both our company-owned and independent-licensed stores.
Operating Margin
Our Upholstery segment’s operating margin increased 1.0 percentage point for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
|
· |
The segment’s gross margin increased 1.3 percentage points during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a combination of factors. Higher unit volume, selling price, product mix changes, and operational efficiencies amounted to a 1.7 percentage point benefit. These items more than offset the impact of raw material cost increases of 0.6 percentage point. |
|
· |
The segment’s SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased 0.3 percentage point, mainly as a result of higher advertising costs of 0.6 percentage point, due primarily to increased spending related to our Live life comfortably marketing campaign. In addition, we had higher incentive compensation costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. These items were partially offset by the favorable absorption of fixed costs resulting from our sales volume increase as compared to the prior year. |

Sales
Our Casegoods segment’s sales showed continued weakness, decreasing $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, due to lower sales volume of $3.4 million partly offset by an increase in selling prices of $0.4 million. The replacement cycle is longer for casegoods furniture than for upholstered furniture, given that casegoods furniture is more durable and has a higher average ticket price, and we believe this has negatively impacted our sales in this segment. In addition, we believe there has been a shift in consumer preference from formal and traditional product styling to more casual transitional and contemporary product. Our product line has not shifted quickly enough in response to this change in consumer preference, and we are addressing this with our product refresh program.
Operating Margin
Our Casegoods segment’s operating margin declined 0.7 percentage point in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The decline in operating income was driven by the decline in sales, as well as an inability to absorb fixed costs.

Sales
Our Retail segment’s sales increased $7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Of this increase, approximately $4.4 million was due to stores we acquired in the Las Vegas market in October 2013 and in northeast Ohio in November 2013. In addition, we experienced an increase in ticket count and units per ticket on a same-store basis. We believe the increase in sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was due to our Live life comfortably marketing campaign, the strength of our stationary product introductions and our improved product value and styling.
Operating Margin
Our Retail segment’s operating margin improved 0.1 percentage point in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
|
· |
The segment’s gross margin improved 0.7 percentage point in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, benefitting from better product merchandising. |
|
· |
The segment’s SG&A costs as a percent of sales increased 0.6 percentage point in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to costs related to new store openings and the transition of ownership for acquired stores. These costs included higher advertising costs of 0.4 percentage point, primarily to support these new and acquired stores. In addition, we had higher incentive compensation costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. These cost increases were partly offset by the leverage of fixed costs resulting from the increase in sales. Occupancy costs and administrative costs are the significant drivers of our fixed SG&A expenses. |

Sales
Eliminations increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher sales from our Upholstery segment to our Retail segment as a result of the increased volume in the Retail segment.
Operating Loss
Our Corporate and Other operating loss increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 mainly due to higher incentive compensation costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 than the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The main drivers of the increase in incentive compensation costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were the improvement in our consolidated financial performance and the increase in our share price during the quarter. Several of our share-based compensation awards are liability-based and/or performance-based awards, and their cumulative expense to date is adjusted at the end of each quarter based on the share price on the last day of the reporting period and the ultimate amount of awards expected to vest.
Other Income
Other income was $1.6 million lower in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to higher gains realized on the sales of investments held to fund our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan during the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 33.2%. The third quarter of fiscal 2014 included a net tax benefit of $0.2 million, primarily from adjustments to deferred taxes as a result of Mexico tax law changes. Absent discrete adjustments, the effective tax rate for continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 would have been 33.9%.

Sales
Consolidated sales increased $71.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Our Upholstery and Retail segments both reported higher sales as compared to the prior year, driven by the combination of stronger volume, favorable changes in product mix, and selling price increases. Partly offsetting these sales increases was continued weakness in sales volume in our Casegoods segment.
These items are further explained in the discussion of each of our operating segment’s results later in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Operating Margin
Our operating margin increased 2.2 percentage points for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
|
· |
Our gross margin increased 2.5 percentage points in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Gross margin in our Upholstery segment benefited from favorable absorption of fixed costs resulting from sales volume increases. Our Retail segment gross margin improved as a result of improved merchandising and a higher priced product mix. |
|
· |
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased 0.3 percentage point in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. |
|
o |
Incentive compensation costs were $9.5 million higher in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 than the first nine months of fiscal 2013, an increase of 0.8 percentage point. The main drivers of the increase in incentive compensation costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were the improvement in our consolidated financial performance and the increase in our share price during the period. Several of our share-based compensation awards are liability-based and/or performance-based awards, and their cumulative expense to date is adjusted at the end of each period based on the share price on the last day of the reporting period and the ultimate amount of awards expected to vest. |
|
o |
Increased sales resulted in increased absorption of fixed costs, most notably in our Retail segment’s leverage of fixed occupancy costs. |

Sales
Our Upholstery segment’s sales increased $62.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013, an increase of 8.4%. Increased volume drove 6.0% of the increase as compared to the prior year, higher selling prices accounted for 1.8% of the increase, with the remainder primarily attributable to favorable changes in product mix. Changes in product mix most notably included a shift to more stationary sofas and occasional chairs, as well as a higher number of recliners sold in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. We sold more power units, which have higher average selling prices than units without power, during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013, which also contributed to the increase in sales. We believe the increase in unit volume was a result of our Live life comfortably marketing campaign, the strength of our stationary product introductions and our improved product value and styling. We also believe these factors continued to drive increased volume for our La-Z-Boy branded business and generated the improved performance of our retail store network, which includes both our company-owned and independent-licensed stores.
Operating Margin
Our Upholstery segment’s operating margin increased 2.0 percentage points for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
|
· |
The segment’s gross margin increased 1.9 percentage points during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 due to a combination of factors. Higher unit volume, selling price, product mix changes, and operational efficiencies amounted to a 2.3 percentage points benefit. These items more than offset the impact of raw material cost increases of 0.8 percentage point. |
|
· |
The segment’s SG&A expense as a percentage of sales improved 0.1 percentage point for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013, due to the favorable absorption of fixed costs resulting from our sales volume increase as compared to the prior year. |

Sales
Our Casegoods segment’s sales showed continued weakness, decreasing $8.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013, due to lower sales volume of $10.0 million partly offset by an increase in selling prices of $1.3 million. The replacement cycle is longer for casegoods furniture than for upholstered furniture, given that casegoods furniture is more durable and has a higher average ticket price, and we believe this has negatively impacted our sales in this segment. In addition, we believe there has a been a shift in consumer preference from formal and traditional product styling to more casual transitional and contemporary product. Our product line has not shifted quickly enough in response to this change in consumer preference, and we are addressing this with our product refresh program.
Operating Margin
Our Casegoods segment’s operating margin, while still positive, declined by 1.1 percentage points in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The decline in operating income was driven by the decline in sales, as well as an inability to absorb costs.

Sales
Our Retail segment’s sales increased $28.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Of this increase, approximately $10.5 million was due to the acquisition of nine stores in the southern Ohio market in October 2012. In addition, $5.1 million of the increase was due to stores we acquired in the Las Vegas market in October 2013 and in northeast Ohio in November 2013. In addition, we experienced increases in average ticket on traffic that was essentially flat on a same-store basis. We believe the increase in sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was due to our Live life comfortably marketing campaign, the strength of our stationary product introductions and our improved product value and styling.

Sales
Eliminations increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher sales from our Upholstery and Casegoods segments to our Retail segment as a result of the increased volume in the Retail segment.
Operating Loss
Our Corporate and Other operating loss increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The increased operating loss was mainly due to higher incentive compensation costs in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013. The main drivers of the increase in incentive compensation costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were the improvement in our consolidated financial performance and the increase in our share price during the period. Several of our share-based compensation awards are liability-based and/or performance-based awards, and their cumulative expense to date is adjusted at the end of each quarter based on the share price on the last day of the reporting period and the ultimate amount of awards expected to vest.
The $2.6 million restructuring charge recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 mainly related to fixed asset and inventory writedowns associated with the closure of our lumber processing operation in our Casegoods segment.
Other Income
Other income was $1.4 million lower in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2013, primarily due to higher gains realized on the sales of investments held to fund our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was 33.5% compared to 34.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Items impacting our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included a tax benefit of $0.9 million in the second quarter for the release of a valuation allowance relating to certain U.S. state deferred tax assets and a net tax benefit of $0.2 million in the third quarter primarily from adjustments to deferred taxes as a result of Mexico tax law changes. Absent discrete adjustments, the effective tax rate for continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 would have been 35.0%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity include cash and equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, cash from operations and amounts available under our credit facility. We believe these sources remain adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, meet debt service, and fulfill other cash requirements for day-to-day operations, dividends to shareholders and capital expenditures including the construction of our new world headquarters. We had cash and equivalents of $140.1 million at January 25, 2014, compared to $131.1 million at April 27, 2013. The increase in cash and equivalents was primarily attributable to net income generated during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, partially offset by cash used to fund increases in inventories, the acquisition of assets through capital expenditures, and transferred cash to investments to increase returns. We also used cash to purchase shares and to fund dividend payments to shareholders.
We maintain a revolving credit facility secured primarily by all of our accounts receivable, inventory, and cash deposit and securities accounts. Availability under the agreement fluctuates according to a borrowing base calculated on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The credit agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants that apply under certain circumstances, including a 1.05 to 1.00 fixed charge coverage ratio requirement that applies when excess availability under the line is less than 12.5% of the revolving credit commitment of $150 million. At January 25, 2014, we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement, had no borrowings outstanding under the agreement, and had excess availability of $139.5 million.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were $23.1 million compared with $21.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2013. We began construction on our new world headquarters during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a project which is estimated at approximately $57 million. We expect this project will continue through our third quarter of fiscal 2015. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $13.0 million to $17.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
In fiscal 2013, the board of directors reinstated payment of quarterly cash dividends to our shareholders. The board of directors has sole authority to determine if and when future dividends will be declared and on what terms. The board of directors currently expects to continue declaring regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future but may discontinue doing so at any time.

Operating Activities
During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $62.8 million. Our cash provided by operating activities was mainly the result of net income generated during the first nine months of fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by cash used to fund increases in inventories of $15.2 million. The increase in inventories during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was primarily related to increased raw materials sourced from China in advance of the Chinese New Year holiday and increased finished goods inventory in our distribution centers to support new stores.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $33.5 million. Our cash provided by operating activities was mainly the result of net income generated during the first nine months of fiscal 2013. This was partially offset by cash used to fund increases in inventories of $12.4 million. We increased inventory to support our sales growth.
Investing Activities
During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, net cash used for investing activities was $34.3 million, including capital expenditures of $23.1 million. In addition, we invested $12.8 million of excess cash on hand into longer term investments.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net cash used for investing activities was $66.8 million, which consisted primarily of $21.8 million in capital expenditures, a $6.9 million increase in restricted cash, a net $23.7 million in investment purchases, and the acquisition of nine retail stores and a distribution center in the southern Ohio market of $15.8 million, net of cash acquired. Our restricted cash relates to deposits serving as collateral for certain letters of credit, and $22.6 million of our investment purchases were intended to enhance returns on our excess cash.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, net cash used for financing activities was $18.8 million primarily related to the purchases of common stock and payment of our quarterly dividends.
Net cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $7.1 million mostly related to the repayment of debt and purchases of common stock.
Our board of directors has authorized the purchase of company stock. As of January 25, 2014, 3.3 million shares remained available for purchase pursuant to this authorization. We purchased 0.9 million shares during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, for a total of $20.3 million. With the cash flows we anticipate generating in fiscal 2014, we expect to continue being opportunistic in purchasing company stock.
Other
Our consolidated balance sheet at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 reflected a $1.4 million net liability for uncertain income tax positions. It is reasonably possible that $0.2 million of this liability will be settled within the next 12 months. The remaining balance will be paid or released as tax audits are completed or settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, there were no material changes to the information about our contractual obligations shown in the table contained in our fiscal 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 1.5% at January 25, 2014, compared to 1.6% at April 27, 2013. Capitalization is defined as total debt plus total equity.
Continuing compliance with existing federal, state and local statutes dealing with protection of the environment is not expected to have a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, competitive position or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended April 27, 2013. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
Business Outlook
We remain optimistic about our ability to continue to grow profitably in the future. The cadence of our business remains strong, particularly as we head into the fourth quarter, which is historically our largest volume period. Our integrated retail strategy has proven to be the right one, and we are building on it with our store expansion program. We will continue to make investments in the enterprise to grow, prosper and return value to shareholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, there were no material changes from the information contained in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2013.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. We are implementing an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system in our largest operating unit. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. The implementation of an ERP system will affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness as the implementation progresses. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 25, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Our risk factors are disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2013. There have been no material changes to our risk factors during the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our board of directors has authorized the purchase of company stock. As of January 25, 2014, 3.3 million shares remained available for purchase pursuant to this authorization. We purchased 0.9 million shares during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, for a total of $20.3 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, pursuant to the existing board authorization, we adopted a plan to purchase company stock in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The 10b5-1 plan was effective January 2, 2014. Under this plan, our broker has the authority to purchase company shares on our behalf, subject to SEC regulations and the price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. The 10b5-1 plan expires at the close of business on March 31, 2014. With the cash flows we anticipate generating in fiscal 2014, we expect to continue being opportunistic in purchasing company stock.
The following table summarizes our purchases of company stock during the quarter ended January 25, 2014:
