PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the "Company") originated as a family
business established in 1885 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company was incorporated
in 1929 under the laws of the State of Maryland. Its corporate headquarters
are located at 866 West Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia. The Company
operates 94 full service retail furniture stores located in 11 contiguous
states in the Southeast and Southwest and is one of the largest specialty
furniture retailers in the United States. The Company sells a broad range of
household furniture and accessories primarily in the middle to upper-middle
price ranges. As an added convenience to its customers, the Company offers
financing through a revolving charge credit plan.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Company believes that its fundamental strengths include its location in
the growing southern regions, its target customer base in the economically
favored middle to upper-middle income ranges, its clearly focused merchandising
strategy, its long-term favorable relationships with its principal suppliers,
its sound financial position and its experienced management. During 1995 the
Company opened and remodeled/expanded more square footage than any other year
in its history. A new store format has evolved and seven such format stores
were opened during 1995. The Company has also increased its attention to
strategic initiatives in reducing distribution and general and administrative
costs. The Company plans to continue its expansion into new market areas and
strengthen its position in its current markets within its geographic regions.



REVENUES

The following table sets forth the approximate percentage contributions by
product or service to the Company's gross revenues for the past three years
(gross revenues represent the gross sales of all merchandise plus all credit
service charge revenues as reflected by all sales invoices of the Company):

MERCHANDISING

The Company is able to tailor its merchandise presentation to the needs and
tastes of the local market. All six regional managers are included in the
Company's buying team and reflect their preferences in a merchandising mix that
is roughly 20-25 percent localized. Each local market manager can then select
from region specific merchandise items that are appropriate to that particular
locale. These managers also are responsible in their respective markets for
pricing merchandise that is not advertised chain wide. This allows the Company
to be competitively priced in each city and yet yield high gross margins.

The Company implemented a shift in merchandising about four years ago which
has successfully differentiated the Company from other chains. Management has
avoided using the lower, more promotional price-driven





1
3

merchandise categories that many national chains have emphasized, giving the
Company a unique position for a large retailer. The Company selects its
merchandise from a wide array of manufacturers. During 1995, the Company
purchased approximately 50% of its volume from 10 vendors, creating significant
purchasing power. Approximately 75% of the Company's volume was purchased from
30 vendors, which gives the Company's customers an outstanding assortment,
especially compared to franchised retailers who offer only one manufacturer's
product line. The Company offers brands such as Drexel Heritage and
Thomasville. Customer awareness of these quality names draws attention to all
the Company's better-end merchandise. Because of the large volume of business
that is generated with both of these suppliers, management has greater
flexibility in selecting items from their lines for stores in the Company's
different market areas.


CREDIT OPERATIONS

The Company's customers are provided with a revolving charge credit plan in
a credit amount determined by an on-line credit approval system. In 1995 and
1994, credit sales constituted 80% of the Company's net sales. The Company's
standard (non-promotional) credit service charge rates for purchases on
accounts opened after February 1995 were 18% or 21% per annum (except in
Arkansas where it is 10%) depending on state laws and may vary in the future
with market conditions. The Company offers a lower credit service charge rate
for individual purchases of over $3,000 and routinely promotes no interest
charges for specified periods up to one year.

Over the last five years, provisions for losses on customer accounts
receivable have averaged less than 1% of sales. Management believes this
relatively low rate, as compared to those of certain other furniture retailers,
is due to a thorough credit screening and collection program and to the Company
attracting a more affluent customer through its overall marketing programs.
Promotions which offer interest-free periods for a specified period have been
successful in attracting customers and stimulating sales as well as meeting
competition.


STORE FORMAT

For the last four years the Company has remodeled and expanded many of its
showrooms to incorporate an "upscale interiors" presentation, including
professionally designed and fully accessorized room settings to portray how the
furniture will look in the home.

In 1995, the Company began using a new store format which was developed for
use in its expansion strategy to meet customers' perceptions of quality and
value. The exterior features a neo-classic design using brick and stucco
building elements. The selling area of these stores ranges from 34,000 square
feet to 50,000 square feet, with an average of 45,000 square feet. The
interior balances an expansive selection with a shopper-friendly format,
handling traffic flow better and improving visibility. The format employs a
"racetrack" design which has grouped room settings around the perimeter of the
store and a customer center in the core. This floor plan allows the Company's
sales force to be attentive and helpful, while letting the customer set the
pace. The interior draws more attention to the expanded selection of
merchandise through various techniques such as strike zones and varied ceiling
heights. The customer center core features an atrium, a refreshment area and
the Company's accessories gallery, Finishing Touches.


NEW STORE GROWTH AND EXPANSION

The Company increased its selling square footage 17% in 1995. This
expansion included seven new stores and the expansion of eight existing
locations. The Company entered three new cities and enhanced its presence in
three existing markets with its new store format. Management plans to increase
selling square footage in 1996 by 9% by opening seven new format stores and
expanding seven existing locations. The new stores will replace current
locations in four existing markets and will be used to enter three new cities.

Sales per square foot in 1995 was $159 for the Company's 94 total stores,
off slightly from the $160 in 1994. The seven new format stores, which were
open on average less than three months, produced $203 in annualized





2
4
sales per square foot during the fourth quarter. Management estimates that at
the end of 1996, 84% of the Company's selling area will consist of square
footage with the "upscale interiors" presentation.


OPERATIONAL INITIATIVES

Distribution. The Company's store concentration enables its regional
warehouse distribution network to provide central receiving points from vendors
and distribution of product to local market warehouses. The Company operates
three regional warehouses in Charlotte, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi;
and Ocala, Florida. The regional warehouses serve all of the Company's local
markets except for Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia, which each have a
regional-size warehouse. The Company's enhanced information system and
just-in-time delivery practices have allowed local markets to begin to push
inventory back from their warehouses to the regional warehouses. The resulting
reduction of inventories in local market warehouses, and the Company's newly
implemented JIT capabilities have allowed management to begin converting these
facilities into prepping centers and cross-dock locations for local deliveries.
Retail locations with attached warehouse space can be expanded and remodeled to
increase retail square footage. The Company plans to expand five such locations
in 1996. The strengthening distribution network will permit the Company to
decrease total square footage for warehousing goods in 1996 despite the
significant increase in retail square footage in 1995 and additional planned
increase in 1996.

Credit Operations. The Company is consolidating all functions associated
with its receivables from its current 45 market area sites to a single site in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Management believes the consolidated operations will
generate savings in personnel and operating costs and that the Company
maintains a distinct advantage by controlling credit approval and the credit
relationship with the customer, rather than outsourcing this function.


CUSTOMER SERVICE

The Company believes that personalized customer service and experienced
personnel are important elements in the success of the Company's retail
furniture business, and the Company continually seeks to improve the quality of
customer service and its reputation with suppliers and customers. The Company
trains its sales personnel to understand and assist customers with their
individual furnishings and decorating needs and also emphasizes prompt and
careful delivery of merchandise.

The Company solicits comments from its customers using various methods
including surveys left at the time of delivery for completion and return to the
Company reporting the customer's level of satisfaction with their Havertys
shopping and delivery experience.


EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1995, the Company employed approximately 2,780
employees: 2,571 in individual retail store operations, 124 in its corporate
offices and 85 in its regional warehouses. No employee of the Company is a
party to any union contract and the Company considers its employee relations to
be good.


COMPETITION

Although the degree of competition varies by geographic area, the retail
sale of home furnishings is a highly fragmented and competitive business. The
Company competes with numerous individual retail furniture stores as well as
chains. The Company currently ranks among the top ten in sales for full
service retail home furnishings store chains in the United States, based on
available industry data for 1994. The Company also competes with other
specialty retail sellers of home furnishings, especially the better department
stores. Department stores benefit competitively from more established name
recognition in specific markets, a larger customer base due to their department
store product lines and proprietary credit cards. The Company believes that
the effect of these competitive factors is offset by the Company's clearly
focused market position and its commitment to customer service.





3
5
The Company believes that the primary elements of competition in its
industry are customer service, merchandise quality, style, selection, display,
price and store location and design. The Company feels that its success to
date is attributable in part to its abilities to focus an aggressive
well-defined merchandising and advertising effort on the middle and
upper-middle income customer, to make prompt delivery of orders through
maintenance of inventory and to tailor the inventory maintained at its stores
to local demands. In addition, the Company believes that its buying power
gives it a competitive advantage with respect to the price and value of its
product offerings. The Company emphasizes credit services tailored to its
product offerings and the specific needs of its target customers. By financing
its own customer accounts, the Company believes that it provides a significant
service to its customer which also enables the Company to maintain contact with
the customer over the term of the account. The Company regards its experienced
sales personnel and personalized customer service as important factors in its
competitive success. Lastly, the Company believes it has uniquely positioned
itself in the marketplace with merchandise that appeals to customers who are
somewhat more affluent than those of most other competitive furniture chain
stores. Management believes this customer segment responds more cautiously to
typical discount promotions and focuses on the real value and customer service
offered by a retailer. This serves as somewhat of a buffer to normal
competitive pressures and provides the opportunity for more consistent margins
across the product line.
