Forward guidance
Non-GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter are expected to decrease from 2023 levels. For the full year, non-GAAP EPS is expected to increase at a rate of 10 percent or more for the third consecutive year, driven by margin expansion in both Workplace Furnishings and Residential Building Products.
Tailwinds
- Multiple indicators point to improving demand on the horizon.
- HNI will continue to deliver margin expansion in Workplace Furnishings
- HNI will drive long-term revenue growth in Residential Building Products
- The Corporation now expects $80 to $85 million of benefits associated with KII synergies ($60 million) and the ramp of its Mexico facility ($20 to $25 million).
- These initiatives also provide visibility to future earnings growth with an estimated $45 to $50 million benefiting the 2025-2026 period.
Headwinds
- Near-term volume pressures expected to negatively impact fourth-quarter results
- Fourth quarter revenue is expected to decline in both segments versus the prior-year period.
- Uncertainty around the U.S. elections and the broader macroeconomic environment is causing many customers, particularly in the Workplace Furnishings segment, to reduce their short cycle transactional purchases and further delay projects.
- Fourth quarter net sales in the Residential Building Products segment are projected to decline at a low single-digit rate versus the same period in 2023 as incoming orders have been negatively impacted by record-low housing turnover, elevated interest rates, ongoing affordability issues, and economic uncertainty.
- While our fourth quarter expectations move lower, we believe the pressures in both segments are temporary
