Fourth Quarter and FY'11 Summary Comments

"We are pleased with our strong execution and solid profit improvement for the fourth quarter and full year 2011. Our growth investments delivered top-line improvement across all businesses in the quarter, and outstanding working capital results drove significant cash generation. Office furniture sales growth was led by strong performance in our contract and international businesses. Hearth sales benefited from improved conditions in new home construction and high energy prices.

We are aggressively investing for growth, competitively well positioned within our markets, and delivering profitable growth," said Stan Askren, HNI Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Fourth Quarter Results - Continuing Operations

  • Consolidated net sales increased $34.1 million or 7.3 percent from the prior year quarter to $500.3 million. The acquisition of Sagus contributed $8.2 million, or 1.8 percentage points of sales.
  • Gross margins were 0.4 percentage points higher than prior year quarter primarily due to higher volume and better price realization offset partially by increased material costs.
  • Total selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, including restructuring charges, improved 1.2 percentage points from the prior year quarter due to higher volume, lower restructuring charges and a non-operating gain partially offset by increased fuel costs, higher incentive based compensation and costs associated with the new acquisition.
  • The Corporation's fourth quarter results included $1.0 million of restructuring and transition costs of which $0.2 million were included in cost of sales. This represented $1.4 million associated with shutdown and consolidation of office furniture manufacturing locations net of a $0.4 million non-operating gain on the sale of property. Included in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $7.1 million of restructuring, impairment and transition costs.

  • Fourth quarter and full year sales for the office furniture segment increased $27.6 million and $123.1 million, respectively. These increases were driven by an increase in the supplies driven channel and a more substantial increase in the contract and international channels of the office furniture industry. Acquisitions contributed $8.2 million or 2.2 percentage points in the fourth quarter and $8.2 million or 0.6 percentage points for the full year.
  • Fourth quarter and full year operating profit increased $7.6 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Operating profit was positively impacted by increased volume, better price realization and lower restructuring, transition and impairment expenses. These were partially offset by higher input costs, investments in selling and growth initiatives and higher incentive-based compensation expense.

  • Fourth quarter sales for the hearth products segment increased $6.5 million driven by increases in the new construction channel and the remodel-retrofit channel. Full year sales for the hearth products segment increased $23.6 million driven by an increase in the remodel/retrofit channel partially offset by a decrease in the new construction channel.
  • Fourth quarter and full year operating profit increased $4.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Operating profit was positively impacted by higher volume, better price realization and lower restructuring and impairment charges partially offset by higher input costs, investments in selling and marketing initiatives and incentive-based compensation.

Outlook

"I am encouraged by the ongoing recovery in our economy and remain optimistic about our markets and growth prospects. We will continue to aggressively invest for future growth while pursuing opportunities for structural and operating cost reductions. Our businesses are strong, competitive, and agile, and we are well positioned for long term profitable growth," said Mr. Askren.

The Corporation estimates sales growth between 10 to 13 percent in the first quarter over the same period in the prior year. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is anticipated in the range of ($0.05) to $0.00 for the first quarter. For the full year, the Company is confirming its estimate of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.30 to $1.50, which excludes restructuring charges and transition costs.

The Corporation remains focused on creating long-term shareholder value by growing its business through investment in building brands, product solutions and selling models, enhancing its strong member-owner culture, and remaining focused on its long-standing rapid continuous improvement programs to build best total cost and a lean enterprise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used within this earnings release are: gross profit, selling and administrative expense, operating income, operating profit and net income per diluted share from continuing operations (i.e., EPS), excluding restructuring and impairment charges, transition costs and non-operating gains. Non-GAAP EPS is calculated using the Corporation's overall effective tax rate for the period. We present these measures because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Management believes this information is also useful for investors. This earnings release also contains a forward-looking estimate of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full fiscal year. We provide such non-GAAP measures to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) we provide them to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to a forward-looking estimate of GAAP earnings per diluted share because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full fiscal year is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events which may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may include unanticipated charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets, intangibles or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition related costs and other unanticipated non-recurring items not reflective of ongoing operations.
