Segment Information
Note 11: Segment Information

We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker, (the "CODM"), our Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.

Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our international operating segment, which includes our international La-Z-Boy wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture, such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® and branded space locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.

Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 234 company-owned La-Z-Boy Stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other home furnishings accessories, to end consumers through these stores.

Corporate and Other. Corporate and Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and accounting, and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an omni-channel retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture, such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer online through its website, www.joybird.com, through small-format stores in key markets, and through other distribution channels. None of the operating segments included in Corporate and Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

We use operating income to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Segment operating income is based on profit or loss from operations before interest expense, interest income, other income (expense), net and income taxes. The CODM assesses performance by regularly reviewing each segment's significant expense categories which include cost of sales, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 25, 2026. We account for intersegment revenue transactions between our segments consistent with independent third-party transactions, that is, at current market prices. As a result, the manufacturing profit related to sales to our Retail segment is included within the Wholesale segment. Operating income realized on intersegment revenue transactions is therefore generally consistent with the operating income realized on our revenue from independent third-party transactions.
Identifiable assets are cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, net inventories, net property, plant and equipment, right-of-use lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Our unallocated assets include deferred income taxes, corporate assets (including a portion of cash and equivalents), and various other assets. Asset information is regularly reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level and segment-level asset information is not used for purposes of making decisions, assessing financial performance, or allocating resources.
