HNI CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS
FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2017

MUSCATINE, Iowa (February 8, 2018) – HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) today announced sales for the full year ended December 30, 2017 of $2,176 million and net income of $90 million. GAAP net income per diluted share was $2.00 compared to $1.88 in the prior year. GAAP net income includes a one-time tax benefit of $45 million related to the recently enacted tax legislation, partially offset by several nonrecurring charges. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $1.97 compared to $2.62 in the prior year.

Fourth quarter sales were $584 million and net income was $34 million. GAAP net income per diluted share, which also includes the tax legislation impact and several nonrecurring charges, was $0.77 compared to $0.24 in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.47 compared to $0.82 in the prior year. GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations follow the financial statements in this release.

Fourth Quarter Summary Comments
“Our fourth quarter played out as we expected. We stabilized our supplies-driven business, made strong progress with our operational transformations, and positioned our Business Systems Transformation initiative for a successful go-live. The new tax legislation created a positive non-cash adjustment of our deferred tax liabilities and will lower our future tax expense. We also incurred several charges reflecting our multi-year effort to advance our operational capability and optimize our business portfolio. With this round of efforts largely complete, we are excited about our market momentum and the platform we’ve built to drive long-term shareholder value,” said Stan Askren, HNI Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Full Year Summary Comments
Consolidated net sales decreased $27.6 million or 1.3 percent from the prior year to $2,175.9 million. On an organic basis, sales increased 3.1 percent. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of small office furniture companies decreased sales $92.2 million compared to the prior year.
GAAP gross profit margin decreased 190 basis points compared to the prior year. Of this decline, 130 basis points were driven by input cost inflation and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by higher sales volume and the impact of divestitures. The remaining decrease of 60 basis points was due to higher restructuring and transition costs.
Selling and administrative expenses increased primarily due to strategic investments, partially offset by lower incentive based compensation, the impact of divestitures, and the impact of stock price change on deferred compensation.
The Corporation recorded $16.5 million of restructuring costs and $17.0 million of transition costs in 2017 in connection with previously announced facility closures and structural realignments. Of these charges, $27.3 million was included in cost of sales. Specific items include severance, accelerated depreciation, and production move costs. The Corporation also recorded net charges of $29.3 million related to impairments of goodwill and intangibles, nonrecurring gains and losses, and a valuation reserve on a long-term note receivable.
The Corporation recorded a one-time tax benefit of $44.8 million related to the recently enacted tax legislation. The adjustment resulted primarily from the revaluation of deferred tax items.

Fourth quarter office furniture net sales decreased $4.5 million or 1.0 percent from the prior year quarter to $429.0 million. On an organic basis, sales increased 3.2 percent driven by increases in the North American contract and international businesses. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of small office furniture companies decreased sales $17.8 million compared to the prior year quarter.
Fourth quarter office furniture GAAP operating profit margin decreased 550 basis points. Of this decline, 560 basis points were driven by input cost inflation, operational transformations, unfavorable product and business mix, and strategic investments, partially offset by higher sales volume, lower incentive based compensation, and the impact of divestitures. This decline was partially offset by an increase of 10 basis points due to lower nonrecurring items, which include restructuring and impairment charges, transition costs, and loss on sale and disposal of assets.

Outlook
"We are excited about 2018 and optimistic about our opportunities to drive volume and profit growth. The investments we’ve made, including our Business Systems Transformation initiative that successfully went live February 1st, have put us in position to drive new levels of productivity and take advantage of improving market demand. The actions we’ve taken over the last several years have made us a stronger company, able to better drive long-term profitable growth for our shareholders.

"The first quarter will be a period of transition and a low point for the year. Profit will be negatively impacted by costs associated with our Business Systems Transformation initiative, input cost inflation, and unfavorable business mix. We expect our profit to improve through the year as we complete our significant transformations and realize the financial returns from our efforts," said Mr. Askren.

The Corporation estimates full year 2018 non-GAAP earnings per share, which excludes restructuring and transition costs, to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.80. This estimate includes the recently enacted tax legislation impact. Full year organic sales are expected to be up 5 to 8 percent. Including the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, full year sales are expected to be up 1 to 4 percent.

For the first quarter, the Corporation expects organic sales to be up 5 to 8 percent. Including the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, first quarter sales are expected to be up 2 to 5 percent. First quarter non-GAAP earnings per share are anticipated to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.06, which excludes restructuring and transition costs.

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 our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures within this earnings release: organic sales, gross profit, operating income, operating profit, and net income per diluted share (i.e., EPS). These measures are adjusted from the comparable GAAP measures to exclude the after-tax impacts of the selected items as summarized in the table 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 fourth quarter 2017, the effective tax rate applied to most non-GAAP items was adjusted for one-time tax impacts that cause a variation in the effective tax rate, including the one-time tax credit due to the revaluation of deferred tax items relating to the recently enacted tax legislation.

The sales adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP organic sales information included in this earnings release excludes the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. The transactions excluded for purposes of our other non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release for both years presented include restructuring and transition costs. The restructuring and transition costs are costs incurred as part of the previously announced closures of the hearth manufacturing facilities in Paris, Kentucky and Colville, Washington and the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana and structural realignments in China and between office furniture facilities in Muscatine, Iowa. Specific transition items incurred include severance, accelerated depreciation, and production move costs. Specific transactions in 2017 excluded for purposes of our other non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release include the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, a valuation reserve on a long-term note receivable, the loss on the disposal of a manufacturing facility, the tax impact related to the recently enacted tax legislation, a nonrecurring gain on the sale and license of a previously acquired intangible asset, and the gain on the sale of a closed manufacturing facility. Specific transactions in 2016 excluded for purposes of our other non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release include the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, the accelerated depreciation in conjunction with the donation of a building, the loss on the sale of Artcobell, a K-12 education furniture company, and a nonrecurring gain on a litigation settlement.

This earnings release also contains a forward-looking estimate of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter and fiscal year 2018. We provide such non-GAAP measures to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons we provide it 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 without unreasonable efforts because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP earnings per diluted share is highly variable and difficult to predict and estimate, and is dependent on future events which are uncertain or outside of our control. These may include unanticipated charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets, intangibles, or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition related costs, and other unanticipated nonrecurring items not reflective of ongoing operations. We expect the variability of these charges to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our GAAP earnings per diluted share.
