Forward guidance

The Corporation expects weaker macroeconomic conditions to continue impacting Workplace Furnishings demand and profitability. In Residential Building Products, a weak housing market is expected to result in continued revenue and profit pressure. The Corporation expects approximately 80 percent of its annual profit in the second half of 2023.

Tailwinds

  • Profit improvement actions in Workplace Furnishings will continue to drive results.
  • The combination with Kimball International will create a market leader uniquely positioned for the post pandemic environment.
  • Residential Building Products has unique opportunities to grow through category awareness, product innovation, and expanding installing-distribution footprint.
  • Mid- and long-term fundamentals of the housing market are strong.
  • The market is undersupplied, and demographic trends support demand growth.

Headwinds

  • Weaker macroeconomic conditions are expected to continue to impact Workplace Furnishings demand and profitability.
  • A weak housing market is expected to result in year-over-year revenue and profit pressure persisting through the remainder of 2023 in Residential Building Products.
  • The rate of decline is expected to moderate in the second half primarily due to a return to normal seasonality and less challenging year-ago comparables.
  • Second quarter outlook excludes any impact from closing the Kimball transaction.
  • Normal seasonality will negatively impact Residential Building Products.
