PART I
Item 1. Business
The information required in Part I, Item 1, sections (a), (b) is
contained in the Registrant's Annual Report, as shown in Exhibit I pages 1
thru 7, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c)(1)(i) Principal Products
The Registrant operates in the furniture industry and as such does
not have differing segments. "Residential" dealers are those who resell
to individuals for their home use. "Contract" seating and casegood
products are sold to commercial dealers. Additional information
regarding products and market share data is contained in the
Registrant's Annual Report, as shown in Exhibit I page 22, and is
incorporated herein by reference.
(c)(1)(ii) Status of New Products or Segments
There were not any major new products or segments during the 1994
fiscal year.
(c)(1)(iii) Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used by the Registrant in the
manufacture of its products are hardwoods for solid wood dining room
and bedroom furniture, casegoods, occasional tables and for the frame
components of seating units; plywood and chipwood for internal parts;
veneers for dining room furniture, wall units, and occasional tables;
water-based and liquid finishes (stains, sealants, lacquers) for
external wood; steel for the mechanisms; leather, cotton, wool,
synthetic and vinyl fabrics for covers; and polyester batting and
non-chlorofluorocarbonated polyurethane foam for cushioning. Steel and
wood products are generally purchased from a number of sources, usually
in the vicinity of the particular plant, and product-covering fabrics
and polyurethane are purchased from a substantial number of sources on
a centralized basis. The Registrant fabricates the majority of the
parts in its products, largely because quality parts made to its exact
specifications are not obtainable at reasonable cost from outside
sources.
Raw materials costs historically have been about 35 percent of net
sales in the upholstery operations and a somewhat higher percentage in
the casegoods operations. Purchased fabric (which includes leather) is
the largest single raw material cost representing about 40 percent of total
upholstery product material costs. Polyurethane (poly) foam for cushions
and padding and lumber are the next two largest types of upholstery raw
material costs. Both fabric and poly are highly sensitive to changes in
the price of oil. Price increases for raw materials excluding lumber have
kept pace with the inflation rate in recent years and are expected to
continue to do so. Lumber prices have increased during the past year by
about 10 to 20 percent, depending on the species of lumber.
- 1 -
Lumber, like most commodities, historically has had sharp changes in
prices over the short term and long term. The Registrant is usually not as
affected by these changes as much as other furniture manufacturers due to
the large percentage of upholstered goods manufactured that do not require
as much lumber as casegoods. Also, wood substitutes, (e.g. steel, plastic)
can be used to some degree in upholstered products.
(c)(1)(iv) Patents, Licenses and Franchises or Concessions
The Registrant has a number of patents on its reclining chair and
rocking chair mechanisms which it believes were important to the early
success of the Registrant and to its present competitive position. It
believes, however, that since it is so firmly established in the
industry, the loss of any single or small group of patents would not
now materially or adversely affect the Registrant's business. The
Registrant has no material licenses, franchises or concessions.
(c)(1)(v) Seasonal Business
The Registrant generally experiences its lowest level of sales
during the first quarter. When possible, the scheduling of production
is designed to maintain generally uniform manufacturing activity
throughout the year, except for mid summer plant shutdowns to coincide
with slower sales.
(c)(1)(vi) Practices Regarding Working Capital Items
The Registrant does not carry significant amounts of upholstered
finished goods inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of
customers or to assure itself of a continuous allotment of goods from
suppliers. Normal customer terms provide for one payment due within 45
days with a 1 percent discount within 30 days (one installment, 1
percent discount 30 net 45).
Most casegoods finished goods inventories are built to provide for
quicker delivery requirements of customers without installment credit
terms therefore, resulting in higher levels of finished product on hand
at any period in time than the upholstered products. Kincaid and
Hammary divisions primarily sell casegood products. Casegoods are also
sold through the Contract Division.
(c)(1)(vii) Customers
The Registrant distributes to over 12,000 locations. The
Registrant does not have any customer whose sales amount to 10 percent
or more of the Registrant's consolidated sales. The Registrant's
approximate dealer mix consists of 39 percent proprietary, 15 percent
to major dealers (Montgomery Ward and other department stores) and
46 percent to general dealers.
Proprietary stores consist of stores dedicated to the sale of
La-Z-Boy products and in-store dedicated galleries. The dedicated stores
include La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores and Showcase Shoppes. In-
store dedicated galleries have been established for each of the Company's
divisions.
- 2 -
(c)(1)(viii) Orders and Backlog
It has been determined that the majority of the Registrant's
Residential Division orders were for dealer stock, with approximately 35
percent of orders being requested directly by customers. Furthermore,
about 20 percent of units produced at all divisions were built for the
Registrant's inventory. The remainder were "built-to-order" for dealers.
As of July 2, 1994, backlogs were approximately $73 million compared
to approximately $77 million on June 26, 1993. This represents less than
six weeks of sales. On average, orders are shipped in approximately five
weeks. Any measure of backlog at a point in time may not be indicative of
future sales performance. The Registrant does not rely on backlogs to
predict future sales since the sales cycle is only five weeks and backlog
can change a lot from week to week.
The decrease in backlogs from 1993 to 1994 can be attributed largely
to the unusually high backlog of orders at the end of 1993. At that time
the furniture industry was emerging from a four year recession and the
Registrant had just introduced many new products, such as the American
Home Collection.
The cancellation policy for La-Z-Boy Chair Company, in general,
is that an order cannot be cancelled after it has been put into
production. Orders from prebuilt stock though, may be cancelled up to the
time of shipment.
(c)(1)(ix) Renegotiation Contracts
The Registrant does not have any material portion of business
which may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of
contracts or subcontracts at the election of the Government.
(c)(1)(x) Competitive Conditions
The Registrant believes that it ranks third in the U.S. in dollar
volume of sales within the Residential furniture industry, which
includes manufacturers of bedroom, dining room and living room
furniture. Based on the most accurate statistics available, the
Registrant believes that it is the largest manufacturer of upholstered
products and solid wood bedroom/dining room products in the United
States.
The Registrant competes primarily by emphasis on quality of its
products, dealer support and a lifetime warranty on the reclining and
legrest mechanisms.
The Registrant has approximately fifteen major competitors in the
reclining or motion chair field and a substantially larger number of
competitors in the upholstery business as a whole and in the Casegoods
and Contract businesses.
The Registrant's best U.S. market share information (in dollars,
not units) indicates that it has about 30 to 35 percent of the
recliner market, above 8 percent of the residential upholstery market,
and less than 2 percent of the residential casegoods market. These
market shares have been increasing slightly over the last three years
in most lines.
- 3 -
(c)(1)(xi) Research & Developement
The Registrant spent $6.4 million in fiscal 1994 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 its products. The
Registrant spent $6.2 million in fiscal 1993 on such activities and
$5.5 million on such activities in fiscal 1992. The Registrant's
customers do not engage in research with respect to the Registrant's
products.
(c)(1)(xii) Compliance with Environmental Regulations
The Registrant believes that its capital expenditures, earnings
and competitive position will not be materially affected by ongoing "de
minimus level" potentially responsible party (PRP) activities at three
clean-up sites, and that they will not be affected as a result of
maintaining necessary compliance with federal, state or local
environmental regulations.
The Registrant has kept abreast of ongoing activities at the three
clean-up sites. Over the past year, the costs to the Registrant La-Z-Boy
have been in keeping with its established status as a de minimus party,
and have been minor. For the future, ongoing costs at two of the sites
(Caldwell Systems - North Carolina RCRA closure; Organic Chemical -
Michigan NPL site closure) are projected to remain the same.
Activities at the third site (Seaboard Chemical - North Carolina RCRA
closure), have now been completed for the first phase. It is
anticipated that a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS)
will be performed to define activities required for subsequent clean-up
phases. Until the RI/FS is completed, and a remedy selected, it is not
possible to estimate the costs for this activity. However, the volume
of material generated and sent to this site by all the Registrant's
facilities is less than one-quarter of one percent of the total volume of
hazardous wastes accounted for at this site. On this basis, we would
reasonably anticipate that future activities will not have a
significant effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.
The Registrant's current environmental compliance concerns are focused
on new regulations for Storm Water Pollution Prevention and the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments. The Registrant has participated in a group storm
water permit program sponsored by its trade association (American
Furniture Manufacturers Association - AFMA); has contracted with a
consulting firm to provide assistance to its plants with the
development of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans; and has
contracted with another firm to conduct detailed air emission
inventories and assist in the preparation of timely and complete
operating permits for Clean Air Act compliance. The Registrant feels that
compliance with these issues is important for maintaining its ongoing
operations and competitive position. The Registrant does not anticipate
that this compliance effort will have a significant effect on capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
(c)(1)(xiii) Number of Employees
The Registrant and its subsidiaries employed 9,370 persons as of
April 30, 1994 and 8,724 persons as of April 24, 1993.
- 4 -
(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales.
The Registrant does not make any material amount of sales of
upholstered furniture to foreign customers. The Registrant sells
upholstered furniture to Canadian customers through its Canadian
subsidiary, La-Z-Boy Canada Limited.
The Registrant also derives an insignificant amount of royalty
revenues from the sale and licensing of its trademarks, tradenames and
patents to certain foreign manufacturers.
Export sales are increasing, but no specific sales objectives have
been set at this time.
Item 2. Properties
In the United States, the Registrant operates twenty-three
manufacturing plants (most with warehousing space), has an automated
fabric processing center and divisional and corporate offices. The
Registrant has one manufacturing plant in Canada.
The location of these plants, the approximate floor space,
principal operations conducted and the approximate number of employees
at such locations as of April 30, 1994 are as follows:

industrial revenue bonds and are occupied under long-term leases with
government authorities. The Leland, Mississippi plant is under a long
term lease between the Board of Supervisors of Washington County,
Mississippi (lessor) and La-Z-Boy Chair Company (lessee). These leases
are capitalized on the Registrant's books. The Registrant believes
that its plants are well maintained, in good operating condition and
will be adequate to meet its present and near future business
requirements. The average age of the Registrants' properties is 25
years.

NOTE: Land improvements, buildings and building fixtures, machinery and
equipment, information systems and other are depreciated using
primarily accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:
Years
Land improvements 20
Buildings and building fixture 15 to 30
Machinery and equipment 10
Information systems 5
Other 3 to 10
(1): The other adjustments column reflects a non-cash write-up of
assets previously written down in fiscal year 1988. These assets
are physically still in use, therefore $3,639 in installed cost
and $3,361 in accumulated depreciation was added back. The net
book value write-up of $278 was recognized as a credit to
depreciation expense and a debit to accumulated depreciation in
fiscal year 1992 and is not shown in this 10-K but is included in
the cash flow statement.
