NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation The interim financial information is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included in these financial statements, other than the consolidated balance sheet as of April 29, 2000, has been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public accountants. The interim financial information as of and for the interim periods ended July 29, 2000 and July 24, 1999 have been prepared on a basis consistent with, but do not include all the disclosures contained in, the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 29, 2000. The interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim period. 2. Interim Results The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending April 28, 2001. 3. Recent Acquisitions On January 29, 2000, we acquired LADD Furniture, Inc., then a publicly traded furniture manufacturer, in a stock-for-stock merger, at which time LADD became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The holders of LADD stock received approximately 9.2 million shares of La-Z-Boy common stock in consideration for their LADD shares. In addition, LADD employee stock options then outstanding were replaced by about 1 million La-Z-Boy stock options. Total consideration, including acquisition costs, was about $190 million. Annual sales for LADD's 1999 calendar year were over $600 million. Additional information about the LADD acquisition is contained in the Form S-4 registration statement that we filed with the SEC to register the stock issued to LADD shareholders as merger consideration. On December 28, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of the business now comprising Alexvale Furniture, Inc., a manufacturer of medium-priced upholstered furniture, for a combination of cash and La-Z-Boy common stock totaling about $17 million. Alexvale's calendar year 1999 sales were about $60 million. We acquired Bauhaus USA, Inc., a manufacturer of upholstered furniture primarily marketed to department stores, on June 1, 1999 for approximately $59 million in cash. Bauhaus' annual calendar year 1999 sales were in excess of $100 million. The above acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. The operations of the above companies were included in our financial statements following the acquisition dates. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents combined results of operations of the above companies with us as if the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2000. The pro forma financial information gives effect to certain adjustments resulting from the acquisitions and related financing. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the separate operations of each company constituted a single entity during the periods presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements We are making forward-looking statements in this item. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future actions, events or results of operations. More specifically, forward-looking statements include the information in this item regarding: future income and margins future economic performance growth industry trends adequacy and cost of financial resources management plans Forward-looking statements also include those preceded or followed by the words "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "hopes," "plans," " intends" and "expects" or similar expressions. With respect to all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that many important factors, including future economic and industry conditions (for example, changes in interest rates, changes in demographics and consumer preferences, e-commerce developments, and changes in the availability and cost of capital); competitive factors (such as the competitiveness of foreign-made products, new manufacturing technologies, or other actions taken by current or new competitors); operating factors (for example, supply, labor, or distribution disruptions, changes in operating conditions or costs, and changes in regulatory environment), and factors relating to recent or future acquisitions, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. LADD Effects As a result of the LADD acquisition, most of our assets, liabilities and results of operations for our first, second and third quarters of this fiscal year will differ substantially from those in comparable prior periods. Results of Operations First Quarter Ended July 29, 2000 Compared to First Quarter Ended July 24, 1999 See page 4 for the consolidated statement of income with analysis of percentages and calculations. In addition, see page 7 for pro forma analysis and notes. <TABLE> <CAPTION> (Unaudited) Segment Analysis First Quarter Ended --------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales Operating Profit --------------------------- --------------------------- FY01 FY01 Over Percent of Total Over Percent of Sales (Under) ---------------- (Under) ---------------- FY00 FY01 FY00 FY00 FY01 FY00 ------- ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Residential upholstery 22% 63% 79% 13% 6.7% 7.3% Residential casegoods 169% 27% 16% 28% 4.8% 10.1% Contract 217% 10% 5% N/M 5.8% 0.4% Unallocated corporate costs & eliminations N/A N/A N/A (183%) (1.2%) (0.7%) ------- ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ Consolidated 55% 100% 100% 13% 4.9% 6.7% ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ====== </TABLE> First quarter sales were up 55% over the prior year's first quarter. However, sales were up just 2% compared to last year's pro forma sales. Therefore, the sales growth in all three of our operating segments and on a consolidated basis that is shown in the table above in each case was due primarily to acquisitions. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 23.2% from 25.1% in last year's first quarter. The primary reason for the drop was higher factory costs, primarily labor and overhead, which were not absorbed as anticipated due to the small 2% pro forma sales increase. During this period of time we did not lay off employees since they will be needed for the expected cyclical second, third and fourth quarters' higher sales. It is very difficult to hire and train skilled factory furniture employees in the short run; especially given today's low unemployment environment we are facing at most of our locations. A secondary reason for the drop in gross margin was relatively lower gross margins of some companies acquired during fiscal 2000. Operating profit as a percent of sales decreased to 4.9% from 6.7% in last year's first quarter which was a record first quarter. As we mentioned in our 2000 annual report, we expected our recent acquisitions would cause a consolidated decline in margin this year, and we experienced some of this effect during the first quarter. However, acquisitions were only a minor cause of the margin drop this quarter. Residential upholstery's operating margin decreased to 6.7% from 7.3%, primarily due to the items mentioned in the above gross profit paragraph. We were able to slightly reduce our selling, general and administrative costs in the Residential upholstery segment to adjust for the lower than expected sales volume. Residential casegoods' operating margin decreased to 4.8% from 10.1%, primarily because one division had a higher than normal profitability last year compared to a lower than normal quarter this year. The casegoods segment was much smaller last year, which means that these types of individual division effects are amplified when compared to the current year where we have many more casegoods operating divisions due to our fiscal 2000 acquisitions. A secondary reason for the Residential casegoods operating margin decline was the effect of these acquisitions. Contract operating margin improved to 5.8% of sales from 0.4% last year due to acquiring LADD's American of Martinsville division, which was more profitable than our Contract operations of last year. Interest expense as a percent of sales increased to 0.9% from 0.4% last year due to an increased debt load as a result of the financing obtained in connection with the acquisition of LADD. Liquidity and Capital Resources See pages 3 through 5 for our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Income, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows with analysis and calculations. Cash flows from operations amounted to $18 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2001 compared to $40 million in the prior year. In the aggregate, capital expenditures, dividends and stock repurchases totaled approximately $24 million during the three month period, which was about the same as in the first three months of fiscal 2000. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $30 million. Our financial strength is reflected in two commonly used ratios, the current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) and the debt-to-capital ratio (total debt divided by shareholders' equity plus total debt plus net deferred taxes). Total debt is defined as current portion of long-term debt plus current portion of capital leases plus long-term debt plus capital leases. Our current ratio was 3.3 to 1 at July 29, 2000, 2.9 to 1 at the end of fiscal 2000 and 3.4 to 1 at the end of last year's first quarter. At July 29, 2000, the debt to capital ratio was 26.8%, compared to 26.5% at the end of fiscal 2000 and 23.3% at the end of last year's first quarter. As of July 29, 2000, we had a line of credit availability of approximately $176 million under several credit agreements. On May 12, 2000, a new $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility was entered into with a group of banks with a performance based interest rate grid with pricing between LIBOR plus .475% to LIBOR plus .80% based on our consolidated debt to capital ratio and utilization under the agreement. The current pricing under the facility is LIBOR plus .550%. This facility was used to retire the company's unsecured $150 million bridge loan facility, which had been put in place to finance the acquisition of LADD, and to also retire the company's $75 million unsecured revolving line of credit. Capital expenditures during the three months ended July 29, 2000 were about $7 million. As of July 29, 2000, approximately 2 million of the 12 million La-Z-Boy shares authorized for purchase on the open market were still available for purchase by the Company. Outlook Our pro forma sales growth is moderating. We believe the North American furniture industry as a whole is slowing in growth due to macroeconomic factors and that this slower pro forma growth will likely continue into our second quarter. As we mentioned in our 2000 annual report, we expect our operating profit margin for the next two quarters to be lower than in the comparable quarters last year due to our fiscal 2000 acquisitions. Even though LADD, our largest acquisition, has improved its margins measurably over the last five years from an operating loss condition, and we expect that 2001 will be better than 2000, LADD margins are lower than the average margins that we have historically achieved. We expect interest expense to remain substantially higher than in fiscal 2000 through the end of our third quarter. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $45 million during fiscal 2001 down from the $55 million we estimated at May 31, 2000. This compares to $38 million in 2000. The large increase is primarily due to acquisitions. We have a commitment to purchase about $5 million of equipment by the end of fiscal 2002. We expect to continue to be in the open market purchasing our shares from time to time as changes in our stock price and other factors present appropriate opportunities. We expect to meet our cash needs for capital expenditures, stock repurchases and dividends during fiscal year 2001 from cash generated by operations and borrowings under available lines of credit.
