(1)During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we implemented a change in which dealers are provided an upfront service allowance for certain labor and delivery costs that they cover under our Wholesale warranty program. As part of this change, dealers provide these warranty services on La-Z-Boy products that they sell, and have previously sold, resulting in an overall reduction in our warranty liability.
(2)$17.0 million and $22.4 million is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of April 25, 2026 and April 26, 2025, respectively, while the remainder is included in other long-term liabilities.
