Strong earnings growth driven by Workplace Furnishings profit transformation
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
“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.

Outlook
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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
