HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE A – Business and Basis of Presentation

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (“Havertys,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a retailer of a broad line of residential furniture in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. We operate all of our stores using the Havertys brand and do not franchise our concept. We operate within a singlereportable segment. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We believe all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. We suggest that these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. We believe that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note B – COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, subsequently named COVID-19, emerged from China and spread worldwide. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and a national health emergency was declared by the United States beginning on March 1, 2020. In response, many states and local governments began a series of restrictions on public gatherings, retail store closures, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect our team members, customers, and communities, Havertys closed all of its stores and halted deliveries in mid-March 2020, with the expectation at that time of reopening stores on April 2, 2020. Our stores remained closed during April and we reopened 103locations on May 1, 2020 and the remaining 17 stores were reopened by June 20, 2020. We restarted our delivery operations on May 5, 2020.

The pandemic continues to disrupt several segments of the economy. Although we and many other businesses are open, some businesses and industries have only recently reopened or are operating on a reduced scale. Our business has been very strong since reopening. Consumers not negatively impacted financially are spending more money on furniture and accessories as they spend more time at home. However, many manufacturers are struggling to meet the increased consumer demand, resulting in product shortages and delays in a number of merchandise categories. In addition to experiencing supply chain disruptions and delays we have encountered difficulties in increasing our distribution and delivery capacity due to staffing shortages.

The COVID-19 pandemic is complex and continues to evolve with sporadic resurgences, new shutdowns and disruptions of vendor operations, new virus variants, and the vaccine rollout. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and extent of the pandemic’s influence on consumers, the “nesting” economy, and our business. Accordingly, our estimates and assumptions could change in subsequent interim reports, and it is reasonably possible that such changes could be significant (although the potential effects cannot be estimated at this time).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE D – Interim LIFO Calculations

We calculate the LIFO index annually. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates of inventory levels and inflation rates. Since these estimates may be affected by factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to change based upon the final year-end LIFO inventory valuations.

NOTE E – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The assets related to our self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and employees are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares held, a Level 1 valuation technique. The assets related to our deferred compensation plans totaled approximately $9.2 million at September 30, 2021 and $7.9 million at December 31, 2020 and are included in other assets. Amounts for the related liabilities are included in other liabilities and totaled approximately $9.2 million at September 30, 2021 and $8.1 million at December 31, 2020.

NOTE F – Credit Agreement

On May 15, 2020 we entered into the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank to permit certain sale-leaseback transactions as described in Note H. Our first borrowings under the facility, since its origination in 2008, were in March 2020.

The Credit Agreement is a $60.0 million revolving credit facility secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, cash, and certain other personal property and matures on September 27, 2024. Availability fluctuates based on a borrowing base calculation reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Amounts available to borrow are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $60.0 million-line amount. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain types of debt or liens, enter into mergers and consolidations or use proceeds of borrowing for other than permitted uses. The covenants also limit our ability to pay dividends if unused availability is less than $12.5 million.

We borrowed $43.8 million under the Credit Agreement in March 2020 and repaid the borrowings in June 2020. The interest rate on the outstanding balance was based on the three-monthEuro dollar LIBOR rate plus 1.25% and on a weighted average basis was approximately 2.37%. Total interest paid under the Credit Agreement was $0.4million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The borrowing base was $15.7 million at September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding letters of credit, and the net availability was $15.7 million.

Note G – Revenues

We recognize revenue from merchandise sales and related service fees, net of expected returns and sales tax, at the time the merchandise is delivered to the customer. We record customer deposits when payments are received in advance of the delivery of merchandise, which totaled $120.1 million and $86.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Of the customer deposit liabilities at December 31, 2020, approximately $0.5 million has not been recognized through net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE H – Leases

We have operating leases for retail stores, offices, warehouses, and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 14 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at lease inception. Our leases do not have any residual value guarantees or any restrictions or covenants imposed by lessors. We have lease agreements for real estate with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

Certain of our lease agreements for retail stores include variable lease payments, generally based on sales volume. The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease costs, generally based on usage of the underlying asset (mileage, fuel, etc.). The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded in the period incurred.

As of September 30, 2021, we had entered into onelease for an additional retail location which had not yet commenced and was under construction.

In June 2021, we renewed the lease covering tenretail locations. This increased our right-of-use assets approximately $17.6 million and lease liability $20.6 million, and we recorded $3.0 million in tenant incentives. In August 2021, we purchased a distribution center which was part of the sale and leaseback transaction which occurred in May 2020 and which is described below. We also purchased a retail location at the end of its lease term. These purchases decreased our right of use assets and lease liabilities approximately $5.3 million.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction
On May 18, 2020, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction of threeof our distribution facilities. The total purchase price for the three properties, excluding costs and taxes, was $70.0 million and the net book value was $37.9million. We recorded a gain of $31.6 million in May 2020 which is included in other income.

The three properties were leased back to us under 15-year operating lease agreements with renewal options.

NOTE I – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 23.1% and 25.8%, respectively. The primary difference in the effective rate and the statutory rate was due to state income taxes and the tax impact from vested stock awards.

NOTE JStock Based Compensation Plan

As more fully discussed in Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have awards outstanding for Common Stock under stock-based employee compensation plans.

Our shareholders approved a new stock-based compensation plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 LTIP Plan”) and the 1,500,000 shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 LTIP Plan were registered with the SEC in August 2021. The 2021 LTIP Plan is substantially the same as our 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 LTIP Plan”). No new grants may be awarded under the 2014 LTIP Plan.

The total fair value of service-based restricted stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $6.1 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding service-based restricted stock awards was $7.5 million at September 30, 2021. The restrictions on the service-based awards generally lapse or vest annually, primarily over four-year and three-year periods.

The total fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.0 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding performance awards at September 30, 2021 expected to vest was $13.1 million. The performance awards are based on one-yearperformance periods but cliff vest in approximately three years from grant date.

The compensation for all awards is charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants’ vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis. The amount charged was approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $3.4 million for the same period in 2020. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of September 30, 2021, the total compensation cost related to unvested equity awards was approximately $8.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.

NOTE K – Earnings Per Share

We report our earnings per share using the two-class method.  The income per share for each class of common stock is calculated assuming 100% of our earnings are distributed as dividends to each class of common stock based on their contractual rights.

The Common Stock of the Company has a preferential dividend rate of at least 105% of the dividend paid on the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock, which has tenvotes per share as opposed to one vote per share for the Common Stock (on all matters other than the election of directors), may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Class A Common Stock.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein and with the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, related information and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including statements about our estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, projections or strategies for the future, may be “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or our present expectations. Known material risk factors applicable to us that could cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K and in the subsequent reports we file with the SEC. All forward‑looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report except as required by law.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant economic disruption and impacted our business. We closed our stores and ceased delivery operations in the second half of March 2020. Affected team members were paid during this period and most corporate personnel transitioned to working remotely. On April 1, 2020, we extended our store closure for another 30 days and furloughed 3,033 team members or approximately 87% of our workforce. Given the dramatic shock to the economy caused by the pandemic and uncertainty of the ongoing impact, we made a permanent reduction in our workforce of approximately 1,200 team members effective April 30, 2020 and extended the furlough of approximately 730 team members until June 1, 2020. We reopened 103 of our stores on May 1, 2020 and the remaining 17 were opened by June 20, 2020 and deliveries restarted on May 5, 2020.

We took several steps to strengthen our financial position and maintain financial flexibility by reviewing operating expenses, evaluating merchandise purchases, reducing capital expenditures,  temporarily borrowing $43.8 million on our credit facility (which was repaid within 96 days), and completing a $70.0 million sale-leaseback transaction in May 2020.

Our business has been very strong since reopening.  Consumers not negatively impacted financially are spending more money on furniture and accessories as they spend more time at home. Demand is outpacing product availability in certain categories. Manufacturers are challenged to ensure safe work environments and have encountered some raw material shortages and transportation capacity issues, resulting in product shortages and delays in a number of product categories. We are continuing to assess our staffing needs and have encountered difficulties in increasing our distribution and delivery capacity due to labor shortages in some of our markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic is complex and continues to evolve with sporadic resurgences, new shutdowns and disruptions of vendor operations, new virus variants, and the vaccine rollout. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration of the pandemic’s influence on consumers, the “nesting” economy, and our business.  


Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our sales are generated by customer purchases of home furnishings. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer. Comparable-store or “comp-store” sales is a measure which indicates the performance of our existing stores and website by comparing the growth in sales in store and online for a particular month over the corresponding month in the prior year. Stores are considered non-comparable if they were not open during the corresponding month in the prior year or if the selling square footage has been changed significantly. Stores closed due to COVID-19 were excluded from comp-store sales. The method we use to compute comp-store sales may not be the same method used by other retailers. We record our sales when the merchandise is delivered to the customer. We also track “written sales” and “written comp-store sales” which represent customer orders prior to delivery. The lag time between customers placing orders and delivery has grown in 2021 due to demand outpacing merchandise supply. As a retailer, comp-store sales and written comp-store sales are an indicator of relative customer spending and store performance. Comp-store sales, total written sales and written comp-store sales are intended only as supplemental information and are not substitutes for net sales presented in accordance with US GAAP.

Although we closed our stores and paused our operations mid-March of last year, our business has been strong since reopening in May 2020. Our stores are operating with a smaller staff and are open fewer hours. Our delivery capacity is improving but remains slightly behind our prior year pre‑pandemic level due to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. Many manufacturers continue to be challenged by raw material shortages, transportation logistics, labor shortages,  and lingering health and safety issues. Many of the manufacturers in Vietnam and Indonesia that produce our products paused their operations in July due to a resurgence of COVID‑19. Fortunately, most began reopening in mid-October and are operating at various levels of capacity. However, these shutdowns may impact our merchandise available for delivery in future quarters.

The above chart outlines our sales for the quarters and year to date. Our stores were closed and we did not make any deliveries in April 2020. Our written sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 were up 2.0% compared to the same period in 2020 which was up 22.8% over 2019.
 
Ours sales by merchandise category are impacted by product availability. Long production lead times for our custom upholstery orders, which were four to six weeks pre‑pandemic and are currently averaging 16 weeks, have negatively impacted our business in this category. Consumers’ desire for faster fulfillment has overtaken their “pandemic patience” and are shifting to purchases of available merchandise. Custom upholstery orders were 28.0% of total written upholstery sales for the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2020 and a high of 29.8% in the third quarter of 2020 but have steadily fallen to 20.0% in the third quarter of 2021.


Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was 56.8%, up 60 basis points compared to the prior year period of 56.2%. We have judiciously adjusted our pricing in response to product price increases and higher inbound freight costs. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2021 was 56.8%, up 130 basis points compared to 55.5% for the same period of 2020. Our focus on retail pricing and our sales mix have offset the negative impact to gross profit from increases in our LIFO reserve.

We estimate gross profit margins for the full year of 2021 will be 56.5% to 56.8%.

Substantially all of our occupancy and home delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as are a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our SG&A costs as a percent of sales for the third quarter of 2021 were 44.6% versus 46.0% for the same period in 2020. This change reflects the leveraging of costs on increased sales and the impact of the operational changes implemented in 2020 under our business continuity plan. SG&A dollars increased $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 and increased $68.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods. 

During April 2020, virtually all team members in our store and distribution operations were furloughed and warehouse and corporate office personnel were furloughed to a minimum level for necessary operations. We covered the health benefits premiums for those furloughed which totaled approximately $2.1 million. Salaries and wages associated with the furloughed team members was approximately $9.9 million. We reduced our workforce by approximately 35% effective April 30, 2020 and paid severance costs of approximately $1.7 million.

We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary.  Our variable expenses include the costs in the selling and delivery categories and certain warehouse expenses as these amounts will generally move in tandem with our level of sales. The remaining categories and expenses for occupancy, advertising, and administrative costs are classified as fixed and discretionary because these costs do not fluctuate with sales. 

The following table outlines our SG&A expenses by classification:

The variable expenses in dollars were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 due to the increase in sales.

The variable expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as a percent of sales compared to the prior year period reflect additional leveraging of certain selling and delivery expenses. The variable expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include payment of severance costs and health benefits for furloughed team members.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Fixed and discretionary expenses were impacted in the third quarter of 2021 primarily by increases in general and administrative expense for compensation, benefits, and related payroll and labor costs of $3.8 million, warehouse expense of $2.8 million, and marketing spend of $1.7 million, compared to the same period of 2020.

Our variable type expenses within SG&A for the full year of 2021 are anticipated to be 17.0% to 17.3%. Fixed and discretionary expenses are expected to be approximately $278.0 to $281.0 million for the full year of 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Year 
At September 30, 2021, we had $225.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $6.7 million in restricted cash equivalents. We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, funds available from our credit agreement, and access to the long-term debt capital markets should be sufficient for our operating requirements and to enable us to fund our capital expenditures, dividend payments, and lease obligations through the next several years. In addition, we believe we have the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $37.0 million for the full year of 2021.
 
Long-Term Debt 
In May 2020, we entered into the Third Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank. The Credit Agreement, which matures September 27, 2024, provides for a $60.0 million revolving credit facility. Amounts available to borrow fluctuate and availability at September 30, 2021 was $15.7 million and we had no amounts outstanding.
 
Leases 
We use operating leases to fund a portion of our real estate, including our stores, distribution centers, and store support space.  
 
Share Repurchases 
In August 2021, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $25.0 million for our share repurchase program. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 we purchased 537,196 shares of common stock for approximately $19.5 million under previous and current authorizations. There is approximately $22.3 million at September 30, 2021 that may yet be used for purchases under the current authorization. 

Cash Flows Summary
 
Operating Activities. Cash flow generated from operations provides us with a significant source of liquidity. Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for products and services, employee compensation, operations, and occupancy costs. 
 
Cash provided by or used in operating activities is also subject to changes in working capital. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory selection, the timing of cash receipts and payments, and vendor payment terms. 
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $89.0 million in the first nine months of 2021 driven primarily by net income of $66.5 million and non-cash adjustments of $17.0 million, consisting of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, and by changes in working capital inflows. The primary working capital inflows were from customer deposits of approximately $34.0 million partially offset by outflows for inventory of $29.1 million.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2020 was $99.8 million driven primarily by changes in working capital. For calculation of cash provided by operating activities the gain from sale of land, property, and equipment of $34.2 million is excluded, partially offsetting net income of $33.7 million and non‑cash adjustments of $18.6 million. The primary working capital inflows were from increases in customer deposits of $58.3 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $13.4 million and a decrease in inventories of $13.9 million.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $28.0 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $67.2 million during the first nine months of 2020. The difference primarily is from $74.4 million of proceeds from sale of land, property, and equipment in 2020.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities of $35.4 million in the first nine months of 2021 primarily reflected $19.5 million of share repurchases and $13.0 million of cash dividends paid.
 
Cash used in financing activities of $30.9 million in the first nine months of 2020 primarily reflected $19.7 million of share repurchases and $10.3 million of cash dividends paid.

Net selling space in 2021 is expected to be flat compared to 2020.

We purchased our Virginia home delivery center which was part of our May 2020 sale leaseback and acquired a retail location at the end of its lease term during the third quarter of 2021. Our capital expenditures also include amounts for information technology for operations and website enhancements. Total capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $37.0 million in 2021 depending on the timing of spending for new projects.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. We reviewed our accounting estimates, and none were deemed to be considered critical for the accounting periods presented in our Form 10-K. We had no significant changes in those accounting estimates since our last annual report.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2020. 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some team members have shifted to a rotating work from home and office environment. We have reviewed our financial reporting process to provide reasonable assurance that we could report our financial results accurately and timely, and we will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting.
