| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 1, 2024, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, 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 August 2, 2024, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its second quarter results, annual earnings guidance, market conditions and related matters.
The press release contains the Company’s (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) Adjusted EBITDA; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (v) 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, Adjusted EBITDA, 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 7 and 8 of the press release.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: AUGUST 1, 2024
LEGGETT & PLATT REPORTS 2Q RESULTS
Carthage, MO, August 1, 2024 —-
| • | 2Q sales of $1.1 billion, an 8% decrease vs 2Q23 |
| • | 2Q EPS of ($4.39), primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge |
| • | 2Q adjusted1 EPS of $.29, a $.09 decrease vs adjusted1 2Q23 EPS |
| • | 2024 EPS guidance is ($3.43)–($3.58), including impact of non-cash goodwill impairment charge, restructuring charges, real estate gains, and certain other costs |
| • | 2024 adjusted1 EPS narrowed to $1.10–$1.25; sales guidance lowered to $4.3–$4.5 billion |
President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, “While our second quarter results reflect the ongoing challenging macro environment, I am immensely proud of our team’s execution. The restructuring plan is on track, with some elements of the plan progressing ahead of schedule and exceeding expectations. We paid down $73 million of debt and adjusted EBIT margin improved by 50 basis points sequentially this quarter. We remain committed to investing in our key businesses to drive profitable growth when market conditions improve.
“Demand in our residential end markets remains weak as consumers continue to delay big-ticket, discretionary purchases. Additionally, the global automotive market remains volatile due to a slower than expected shift to electric vehicles and disruption from new Chinese market entrants. Due to these factors and continued deflationary pressure, we are lowering our full year sales guidance. We are also narrowing our adjusted EPS guidance, with a slightly lower mid-point. This revision reflects the impacts of lower volume, increased inventory write-downs/reserves, and higher bad debt reserves, partially offset by continued strong execution of our restructuring plan, operational efficiency improvements, and pricing discipline.
“We are currently conducting a strategic review of our diverse portfolio, assessing how each business fits into our long-term vision. This review, in addition to our restructuring plan and operational improvement initiatives, is leading to a clearer vision of the opportunities ahead. We fully expect the future Leggett & Platt to be more focused and more profitable.”
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Second quarter sales were $1.1 billion, an 8% decrease versus second quarter last year
| • | Organic sales2 were down 8% |
| • | Volume was down 4%, primarily from continued weak demand in residential end markets and the earlier than expected loss of a customer in Specialty Foam |
| • | Raw material-related selling price decreases and currency impact reduced sales 4% |
Second quarter EBIT was a loss of $614 million, down $710 million from second quarter 2023 EBIT.
| • | EBIT decreased primarily from a $675 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. In connection with the preparation of the second quarter 2024 financial statements, the Company performed an impairment analysis and concluded that an impairment existed as a result of the significant decline in stock price and current market conditions. |
| 1 | Please refer to attached tables for Non-GAAP Reconciliations |
| 2 | Trade sales excluding acquisitions/divestitures in the last 12 months |
Adjusted1 EBIT was $71 million, a $21 million decrease from second quarter 2023 adjusted1 EBIT.
| • | Adjusted1 EBIT decreased primarily from lower volume, increased inventory write-downs/reserves, raw material-related pricing adjustments, metal margin compression, and higher bad debt reserves partially offset by lower amortization expense, operational efficiency improvements, and restructuring benefit. |
EBIT margin was (54.4%), down from 7.8% in the second quarter of 2023 and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 6.3%, down from 7.5%.
Second quarter EPS was a loss of $4.39, a $4.79 decrease versus second quarter 2023 EPS of $.40. Second quarter adjusted1 EPS was $.29, down $.09 versus second quarter 2023 adjusted1 EPS of $.38.

RESTRUCTURING PLAN UPDATE
The restructuring plan in our Bedding Products segment and in our Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products segment is progressing as planned. Additionally, we initiated a small restructuring opportunity in our Specialized Products segment during second quarter 2024.
| • | Annualized EBIT benefit of $40–$50 million expected to be realized after initiatives are fully implemented in late 2025 |

| • | We now anticipate approximately $80 million of annual sales attrition after initiatives are fully implemented in late 2025 versus our initial estimate of $100 million |
| • | Realized $3 million of sales attrition in second quarter 2024 and now expect approximately $25 million in 2024 versus our initial estimate of $40 million |
| • | Also expect to receive cash from the sale of real estate associated with the plan, with transactions largely complete by the end of 2025 |
| • | 2024 expectations are now $15–$25 million versus $0–$10 million as real estate sales are anticipated to be realized sooner than initially expected |
| • | Majority of cash restructuring and restructuring-related costs expected to be incurred in 2024 |
