HNI Corporation Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

Strong earnings growth driven by Workplace Furnishings profit transformation

  • EPS of $0.37 increased 825% on a GAAP basis and 185% on a non-GAAP basis YoY.
  • Workplace Furnishings operating margin expanded 730 bps GAAP and 720 bps non-GAAP YoY.
  • Full-year and second quarter 2024 non-GAAP EPS expected to strongly increase YoY.

MUSCATINE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) today announced sales for the first quarter ended March 30, 2024 of $588.0 million and net income of $17.7 million.

Highlights

  • Excellent earnings growth. First quarter earnings per share of $0.37 was up considerably on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis versus the prior year despite an 8.1 percent year-over-year organic revenue decline, which was primarily driven by continued housing market softness. GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations follow the financial statements in this release.
  • Profit transformation actions continue to drive improvement in Workplace Furnishings. First quarter non-GAAP operating profit margin for Workplace Furnishings, when excluding impacts from the Kimball International acquisition, expanded 560 basis points year-over-year.
  • Solid accretion from Kimball International. Kimball International ("KII") generated an operating profit margin of 9.3 percent and added an estimated $0.10 to non-GAAP EPS.
  • Residential Building Products posts solid profit despite a soft housing market. Segment operating profit was $21.4 million with an operating margin of 14.4 percent. Recent cost actions continued to support profitability. Growth and margin expansion are expected to return as the year progresses.
  • Strong balance sheet. Gross leverage was 1.9x, as calculated in accordance with the Corporation's debt agreements. That ratio was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2023 as higher profit offset a modest seasonal increase in debt. The Corporation also accelerated stock repurchase activity in the quarter.
  • Projecting strong 2024 earnings growth to be driven by continued profit transformation in Workplace Furnishings and benefits from KII. In 2024, Workplace Furnishings organic revenue is expected to grow at a low single-digit pace, and Residential Building Products revenue is projected to be flat-to-slightly down.
  • Expecting solid increase in second quarter earnings. Momentum with Workplace Furnishings profit transformation initiatives and accretion from KII are anticipated to drive solid year-over-year non-GAAP EPS growth. Compared to the prior year, organic Workplace Furnishings revenue is expected to be down slightly, while Residential Building Products revenue is projected to decline at a low-single digit rate.

"Our teams continue to build upon the strong progress we have made over the past two years. We delivered earnings that were nearly triple the prior-year period, with EPS and operating margin reaching first quarter levels not seen since 2007.

"Our strong results continued to be fueled by our Workplace Furnishings profit transformation plan and the inclusion of Kimball International, which combined to deliver the highest first quarter Workplace Furnishings profit margin since 2016.

"In Residential Building Products, our recent cost actions helped support profitability despite ongoing market weakness. Longer-term we remain bullish about the prospects of the housing market, broadly, and our market-leading position, specifically.

"Overall, we started the year on a very strong note. Our results reflect the dedication of our member-owners, the strength of our business model, and our ability to manage through all parts of the economic cycle," stated Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

HNI Corporation - First Quarter Summary Comments

  • Consolidated net sales increased 22.7 percent from the prior-year quarter to $588.0 million. On an organic basis, sales decreased 8.1 percent year-over-year. The acquisition of KII increased year-over-year net sales by $147.5 million. A reconciliation of organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, follows the financial statements in this release.
  • Gross profit margin expanded 320 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. This increase was driven by favorable price-cost, improved net productivity, and the impact of the KII acquisition, partially offset by lower organic volume.
  • Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased 50 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by $3.4 million of non-repeating KII acquisition-related fees and expenses incurred in the prior-year quarter, dilution from price realization, lower legacy core SG&A, and KII acquisition-related administrative cost synergies, partially offset by lower organic volume and higher variable compensation.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.37 compared to $0.04 and $0.13, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. The increase was driven by favorable price-cost, improved net productivity, the net impact of the KII acquisition, lower core SG&A, and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower organic volume and higher variable compensation.

  • Workplace Furnishings net sales increased 46.8 percent from the prior-year quarter to $439.8 million. Organic sales decreased 2.5 percent year-over-year. The impact of the KII acquisition increased sales by $147.5 million over the prior-year quarter.
  • Workplace Furnishings GAAP operating margin of 6.0 percent improved 730 basis points versus the prior-year quarter, driven by favorable price-cost, improved net productivity, favorable impacts from KII, and lower legacy core SG&A. These factors were partially offset by lower organic volume and higher variable compensation. Excluding the impact of KII, first quarter GAAP operating profit margin for Legacy Workplace was 4.3 percent, an improvement of 560 basis points year-over-year.

  • Residential Building Products net sales decreased 17.4 percent from the prior-year quarter to $148.2 million primarily due to housing market weakness, with remodel/retrofit (R&R) sales declining at a higher rate than new construction.
  • Residential Building Products operating profit margin of 14.4 percent compressed 120 basis points year-over-year driven by lower volume, partially offset by improved net productivity, favorable price-cost, lower variable compensation, and lower core SG&A.

First Quarter Order Rates

  • In the Workplace Furnishings segment, orders increased two percent versus the prior-year period. Orders from both small-to-medium sized customers and contract customers increased at a similar rate to the segment overall.
  • Orders in the Residential Building Products segment decreased 12 percent compared to the first quarter of 2023. During the quarter, orders in new construction outperformed R&R. Reduced channel backlogs and shortened lead times resulted in R&R orders returning to normal patterns, which negatively impacted year-over-year growth.

Outlook

  • Second quarter non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to increase solidly year-over-year driven by the benefit of KII and continued profit transformation in Legacy Workplace Furnishings despite increasingly difficult year-ago comps. The second quarter of 2023 was the first quarter to show noticeable benefits from profit transformation initiatives in Legacy Workplace Furnishings.
  • Demand environment. In the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation expects Workplace Furnishings organic segment revenue to be down slightly compared to the same quarter of 2023. In Residential Building Products, the Corporation expects year-over-year declines to moderate with second quarter revenue down at a low-single digit rate versus the year-ago period.
  • Impact of Kimball International. For the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation expects KII to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS, generally in line with first quarter results. KII is expected to add $75 to $80 million of incremental revenue to second quarter results. The Corporation continues to expect annual cost synergies resulting from the combination with KII to total $35 million when mature.
  • 2024 outlook commentary. Full-year earnings are expected to increase strongly from 2023 levels driven by continued margin expansion in Workplace Furnishings and the full-year benefit of accretion from KII. The Corporation continues to expect Workplace Furnishings organic revenue to increase at a low-single digit rate. Residential Building Products segment revenue trends are expected to improve as the year progresses, with year-over-year growth returning in the second half. Residential Building Products full-year revenue is expected to be flat-to-slightly down versus 2023 levels. This is a modest reduction from the outlook provided on the previous earnings call and is reflective of softer conditions in the R&R space and a slower start in new construction.

Concluding Remarks

"We had an excellent start to 2024 as our strategies continue to deliver outstanding earnings growth. In Workplace Furnishings, our profit transformation initiatives maintained their momentum, pushing margins to multi-year highs. We expect modest revenue growth to translate into continued solid year-over-year profit and margin improvement in the segment during 2024.

"The integration of Kimball International continues to build momentum. KII is strengthening our business-both strategically and financially. KII better positions us to lead in the evolving workplace market and provides new opportunities for growth.

"In Residential Building Products, we remain bullish despite recent housing-driven weakness. We have adjusted our cost structure while continuing to invest in our growth strategies, leading brands, and operating platforms. Recent housing data and improving internal metrics support our increasing optimism about demand trends in the back half of 2024, and we remain uniquely positioned to drive high-margin growth as housing stabilizes.

"Our core strategies are unchanged. We are committed to continuing to expand margins in Workplace Furnishings and driving long-term revenue growth in Residential Building Products," concluded Mr. Lorenger.

This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial information to HNI's financial statements as prepared in accordance with GAAP are included below and throughout this earnings release. This information gives investors additional insights into HNI's financial performance and operations. While HNI's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating HNI's operations, this information should be considered supplemental and not in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: organic sales, gross profit, operating income, operating profit, income taxes, net income, and net income per diluted share (i.e., EPS). These measures are adjusted from the comparable GAAP measures to exclude the impacts of the selected items as summarized in the tables below. Generally, non-GAAP EPS is calculated using HNI's overall effective tax rate for the period, as this rate is reflective of the tax applicable to most non-GAAP adjustments. In the prior-year quarter, the effective tax rate used to calculate non-GAAP EPS differs from the GAAP effective tax rate due to the impact of nondeductible charges associated with the acquisition of Kimball International. Additionally, non-GAAP EPS for the Legacy HNI business is calculated by excluding the impact of new issuances of HNI common stock and HNI restricted stock units made in connection with the acquisition of Kimball International.

The sales adjustments to arrive at the non-GAAP organic sales information presented in this earnings release relate to the exclusion of net sales of KII in the current period. The transactions excluded for purposes of other non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release include: professional fees and other costs related to the acquisition of Kimball International; restructuring charges recorded to cost of sales comprised of inventory valuation adjustments and relocation and new facility setup costs in the Workplace Furnishings segment; costs associated with the exit of Poppin, and prior period transactions related to company-wide cost reduction initiatives.
