Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments, which also correspond with our management organizational structure. Because of the recent divestiture of the majority of the Store Fixtures business unit (formerly in the Commercial Fixturing & Components segment) along with the retirement of the Senior Operating Vice President of the Industrial Materials segment, our management organizational structure and all related internal reporting changed during the first quarter of 2015. As a result, the composition of our four reportable segments changed to reflect the new structure beginning in the first quarter of 2015.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a revised overview of the Company’s segments and certain of the Company’s revised unaudited segment financial data for each year and quarterly period for 2014, 2013 and 2012, as well as for the year 2011. This financial data reflects the reportable segments the Company will use to present its first quarter financial results for 2015 and is being provided to facilitate the comparison of such results with prior financial periods. While this financial data reflects the change in the Company’s reportable segments described below, the Company has not in any way revised or restated its historical consolidated financial statements for any period. The Company’s consolidated net sales, earnings from continuing operations before interest and taxes, earnings from continuing operations, net earnings and net earnings per share remain unchanged for all periods presented.
The Company’s four reportable segments will continue to be Residential Furnishings, Commercial Products (formerly named Commercial Fixturing & Components), Industrial Materials and Specialized Products. The segment changes will include: (i) the Adjustable Bed and Fashion Bed (formerly named Consumer Products) business units moved from Residential Furnishings to Commercial Products; (ii) the Aerospace Products business unit moved from Industrial Materials to Specialized Products; and (iii) the Spuhl machinery division moved from Specialized Products to Residential Furnishings.
This information, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Exhibit 99.1
Revised Overview of Segments and
Revised Segment Financial Data
Leggett & Platt manufactures thousands of different items. These products are organized into four segments and further divided into 11 groups and 18 business units. Here we share more information about our four segments.
Residential Furnishings Segment
Our Residential Furnishings segment began in 1883 with the manufacture of steel coil bedsprings. Today, we supply a variety of components used by bedding and upholstered furniture manufacturers in the assembly of their finished products. Our range of products offers our customers a single source for many of their component needs.
Efficient manufacturing methods, internal production of key raw materials, and numerous manufacturing and assembly locations allow us to supply many customers with components at a lower cost than they can produce themselves. In addition to cost savings, sourcing components from us allows our customers to focus on designing, merchandising and marketing their products.
Products
Bedding Group
| • | Innersprings (sets of steel coils, bound together, that form the core of a mattress) |
| • | Wire forms for mattress foundations |
| • | Machines that we use to shape wire into various types of springs |
Furniture Group
| • | Steel mechanisms and hardware (enabling furniture to recline, tilt, swivel, rock and elevate) for reclining chairs and sleeper sofas |
| • | Springs and seat suspensions for chairs, sofas and loveseats |
| • | Steel tubular seat frames |
Fabric & Carpet Cushion Group
| • | Structural fabrics for mattresses, residential furniture and industrial uses |
| • | Carpet cushion (made from bonded scrap foam, fiber, rubber and prime foam) |
| • | Geo components (synthetic fabrics and various other products used in ground stabilization, drainage protection, erosion and weed control, as well as silt fencing) |
Customers
| • | Manufacturers of finished bedding (mattresses and foundations) and upholstered furniture |
| • | Retailers and distributors of carpet cushion |
| • | Contractors, landscapers, road construction companies, and government agencies using geo components |
Commercial Products Segment
In our Commercial Products segment, we design, manufacture, and distribute a wide range of components and finished products for the office seating and specialty retail markets. We are a major supplier of fashion beds and adjustable beds, with domestic manufacturing and distribution capability as well as established relationships with global sources.

Industrial Materials Segment
The quality of our products and service, together with low cost, have made Leggett & Platt the leading U.S. supplier of drawn steel wire. Our Wire group operates a steel rod mill with an annual output of approximately 500,000 tons, of which a substantial majority is used by our own wire mills. We have three wire mills that supply virtually all the wire consumed by our other domestic businesses. Our Steel Tubing business unit also supplies a portion of our internal needs for welded steel tubing. In addition to supporting our internal requirements, we supply many external customers with wire and steel tubing products.

The Steel Tubing business reached held for sale status in the first quarter of 2015, but did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment.
Products
Wire Group
| • | Steel rod |
| • | Drawn wire |
| • | Steel billets |
| • | Fabricated wire products |
Tubing Group

We use about two-thirds of our wire output and roughly 15-20% of our steel tubing output to manufacture our own products. For example, we use our wire and steel tubing to make:
| • | Bedding and furniture components |
| • | Motion furniture mechanisms |
| • | Automotive seat components. |
The Industrial Materials segment also has a diverse group of external customers, including:
| • | Bedding and furniture makers |
| • | Automotive seating manufacturers |
| • | Mechanical spring makers |
| • | Waste recyclers and waste removal businesses |
Specialized Products Segment
Our Specialized Products segment designs, manufactures and sells products including automotive seating components, specialized machinery and equipment, and service van interiors. Our established design capability and focus on product development have made us a leader in innovation. We also benefit from our broad geographic presence and our internal production of key raw materials and components.
3
In 2012, we formed the Aerospace Products business unit with the acquisition of Western Pneumatic Tube. Western is a leading provider of integral components for critical aircraft systems. The operations produce thin-walled, large diameter, welded tubing and specialty formed products from titanium, nickel, stainless steel, and other specialty materials for leading aerospace suppliers and OEMs. Through additional acquisitions, we have extended our capability in aerospace tube fabrication, and expanded our product offering to include small diameter, high pressure seamless tubing.
