| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On February 8, 2024, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2023 and related matters. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This information 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.
On February 9, 2024, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and year-end results, annual earnings guidance, market conditions and related matters.
The press release contains the Company (i) Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Adjusted EPS; (iii) Adjusted EBIT; (iv) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (v) EBITDA; (vi) EBITDA Margin; (vii) Adjusted EBITDA; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (x) change in Organic Sales.
The press release also contains certain Segments’ (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) EBITDA; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA; (v) EBITDA Margin; (vi) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (vii) change in Organic Sales.
Company management believes the presentation of Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) provides investors a useful way to assess the time it would take the Company to pay off its debt, ignoring various factors including interest and taxes. Management uses this ratio as supplemental information to assess its ability to pay off its incurred debt. Because we may not be able to use our earnings to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the presentation of Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) may have material limitations.
Company management believes the presentation of Company Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), and Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to investors in that it aids investors’ understanding of underlying operational profitability. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental information to assess the Company’s operational performance.
Organic Sales is calculated as trade sales excluding sales attributable to acquisitions and divestitures consummated within the last twelve months. Company management believes the presentation of change in Organic Sales, is useful to investors, and is used by management, as supplemental information to analyze our underlying sales performance from period to period in our legacy businesses.
The above non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for, or more meaningful than, their GAAP counterparts. For non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to pages 9 and 10 of the press release.

President and CEO Mitch Dolloff commented, “2023 was another challenging year for residential end markets as our Bedding Products and Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products segments faced ongoing weak market demand. Encouragingly, our Specialized Products segment benefited from sustained demand strength as industrial end markets continue to recover post-pandemic.
“On January 16, we announced a restructuring plan primarily impacting our Bedding Products segment. We are taking actions to create a more focused, agile organization with a portfolio of products and an operating footprint aligned with the markets we serve. Looking forward, these initiatives are expected to enable us to advance key product growth, improve profitability, and create enhanced value for our customers and shareholders.
“Our 2024 guidance reflects continued soft residential end market demand. Our actions to improve operating efficiency across our businesses, drive cash flow, and execute our restructuring plan will allow us to navigate the challenging near-term environment and better position us for long-term success. We are focused on maintaining our investment grade credit rating and managing debt leverage while balancing continued investment in our business for future growth and our dividend track record.”
