NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE A – Business and Reporting Policies

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (“Havertys,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a retailer of a broad line of residential furniture in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. We operate all of our stores using the Havertys brand and do not franchise our concept. We operate within a single reportable segment.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We believe all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. We suggest that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.  We believe that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE B - Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which amended various aspects of existing guidance for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The main difference between ASU 2016-02 and previous U.S. GAAP is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. As a result, we have recognized a liability representing our lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. We adopted the requirements of the new lease standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and have not restated comparative periods.

We elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less). For our real property leases, we did not elect the accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component.

HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

As part of the adjustment for ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, we derecognized certain assets and liabilities associated with legacy build-to-suit arrangements and the deferred gain on previous sale leaseback transactions. Accordingly, $53.5 million of net property and equipment, $50.8 million of financing obligations, $9.3 of other net liabilities, and $2.3 million of deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 were removed as part of our transition adjustment. Effective January 1, 2019, we recognized right-of-use lease assets totaling $177.9 million and recorded lease liabilities totaling $175.4 million. The net adjustment recorded to equity as of January 1, 2019 was a credit of $6.8 million.

Since we are not restating prior periods as part of adopting this guidance, our results in 2019 will not be directly comparable to our results for periods before 2019. Specifically, for those leases that were previously recognized on our balance sheet prior to 2019, their associated depreciation and interest expense will be characterized as rent expense. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had an immaterial impact on our consolidated statement of income and our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE D – Interim LIFO Calculations

We calculate the LIFO index annually. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates of inventory levels and inflation rates. Since these estimates may be affected by factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to change based upon the final year-end LIFO inventory valuations.

NOTE E – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The assets related to our self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and employees are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares held, a Level 1 valuation technique. The assets related to our deferred compensation plans totaled approximately $7.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $6.0 million at December 31, 2018 and are included in other assets. The related liabilities of the same amounts are included in other liabilities.

NOTE F – Credit Arrangement

We have a $60.0 million revolving credit facility secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, cash, and certain other personal property.  Availability fluctuates based on a borrowing base calculation reduced by outstanding letters of credit.  Amounts available to borrow are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $60.0 million-line amount, reduced by $6.0 million if a fixed charge coverage ratio test for the immediately preceding 12 months is not met. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain types of debt or liens, enter into mergers and consolidations or use proceeds of borrowing for other than permitted uses. The covenants also limit our ability to pay dividends if unused availability is less than $16.5 million.

The borrowing base was $55.6 million at June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding letters of credit, and the net availability was $49.6 million. The facility, which has not been used since its origination, matures March 31, 2021.

(1) Includes delivery charges and product protection.

NOTE H – Leases

We have operating leases for offices, warehouses, and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 14 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at lease inception. Our leases do not have any residual value guarantees or any restrictions or covenants imposed by leases. We have lease agreements for real estate with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

The table below presents the operating lease assets and liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019
Operating Lease Assets:
Right-of use lease assets	$	187,178
Operating Lease Liabilities:
Current lease liabilities		28,768
Non-current lease liabilities		158,782
Total operating lease liabilities	$	187,550

Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore we used our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease. We used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.

Certain of our lease agreements for retail stores include variable lease payments, generally based on sales volume.  The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease costs, generally based on usage of the underlying asset (mileage, fuel, etc.). The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.

Components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into a non-cancellable lease for real property that had not commenced as of June 30, 2019. The initial terms are approximately 10 years, with options to extend for up to an additional 20 years. Upon lease commencement, the right-of-use asset and lease liability will be determined and recorded.

NOTE I – Other Income, net

Other income, net includes gains and losses related to fixed assets. We had gains from real estate sales and insurance recoveries on stores damaged or destroyed of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

NOTE J – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 25.4% and 25.7%, respectively. The primary difference in the effective rate and the statutory rate is due to state income taxes and additional tax expense from vested stock awards.

NOTE K – Stock Based Compensation Plan

As more fully discussed in Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have awards outstanding for Common Stock under stock-based employee compensation plans.

The following table summarizes our award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

(1) Includes shares repurchased from employees for employee’s tax liability.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding restricted stock awards was $4,206,000 at June 30, 2019. The restrictions on the service-based awards generally lapse or vest annually, primarily over four-year periods.  

The total fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $1,389,000. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding performance awards at June 30, 2019 expected to vest was $2,717,000. The performance awards are based on one-year performance periods but cliff vest in approximately three years from grant date. 

The fair value for stock-settled appreciation rights were estimated at the date of grant using a BlackScholes pricing model. The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and outstanding stock-settled appreciation rights at June 30, 2019 was approximately $36,000.

The compensation for all awards is being charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants’ vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $1,951,000 and $2,557,000, respectively. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of June 30, 2019, the total compensation cost related to unvested equity awards was approximately $5,783,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

NOTE L – Earnings Per Share

We report our earnings per share using the two-class method.  The income per share for each class of common stock is calculated assuming 100% of our earnings are distributed as dividends to each class of common stock based on their contractual rights.

The Common Stock of the Company has a preferential dividend rate of at least 105% of the dividend paid on the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock, which has ten votes per share as opposed to one vote per share for the Common Stock (on all matters other than the election of directors), may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Class A Common Stock.

Net Sales

Our sales are generated by customer purchases of home furnishings.  Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer.  Comparable-store or “comp-store” sales for the periods presented are sales made on our website and from stores open throughout the period and the corresponding prior year period.  If a store expansion results in a 10% or greater increase in selling square footage, its sales are removed from the comparable store sales base until it has been open a full 12 months. Accordingly, our comp-store sales may not be comparable to other entities.

The following outlines our sales and comp-store sales increases and decreases for the periods indicated (dollars in millions, amounts and percentages may not always add to totals due to rounding):

	2019														2018
	Net Sales								Comp-Store Sales						Net Sales								Comp-Store Sales
Period	Total Dollars		% Change			$ Change			% Change			$ Change			Total Dollars		% Change			$ Change			% Change			$ Change

Sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased over the first quarter of 2019 as our supply chain began to recover from the disruption caused by tariffs. Our average written ticket was up 5.3% and our custom order upholstery business grew 7.6% for the second quarter compared to the 2018 period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was 54.0%, down 20 basis points compared to the prior year period. The reduction is a result of merchandise pricing and mix as we used slightly more aggressive promotions and higher product, freight, and warehouse and handling costs. These increased costs also have a negative impact on the changes to our LIFO reserve. Gross profit for the first half of 2019 was 54.5% compared to 54.4% for the same period of 2018.

Our expectation for annual gross profit margins for 2019 is approximately 54.1%, down from 54.6%  in 2018.  This reduction is primarily due to increased costs, the impact of LIFO, and increased promotions.

Substantially all of our occupancy and home delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as are a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our SG&A costs as a percent of sales was 49.9% for the second quarter and 49.7% for the same period in 2018. Total SG&A dollars decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period.

Our SG&A costs as a percent of sales for the first half of the year were 51.3% and 50.2% for 2018. Total SG&A dollars decreased $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period.

We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary. Our variable expenses include the costs in the selling and delivery categories and certain warehouse expenses as these amounts will generally move in tandem with our level of sales. The remaining categories and expenses are classified as fixed and discretionary because these costs do not fluctuate with sales.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The following table outlines our SG&A expenses by classification:

	Three months ended June 30,										Six Months ended June 30,
	2019					2018					2019					2018
(In thousands)			% of Net Sales					% of Net Sales					% of Net Sales					% of Net Sales
Variable	$	35,224		18.4	%	$	37,279		18.8	%	$	70,306		18.5	%	$	74,073		18.6	%
Fixed and discretionary		60,560		31.6			61,474		30.9			124,357		32.8			125,683		31.6
	$	95,784		49.9	%	$	98,753		49.7	%		194,663		51.3	%	$	199,756		50.2	%

The fixed and discretionary expenses declined slightly for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 versus 2018. Our normal fixed and discretionary type expenses within SG&A costs are expected to be approximately $256.0 to $258.0 million for the full year 2019 versus $254.9 million for the same costs in 2018. The increase is largely due to inflation and higher employee compensation and benefits costs. The variable type costs within SG&A for the full year of 2019 are anticipated to be 18.0% compared to 18.3% in 2018 as a percent of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements include working capital needs, contractual obligations, income tax obligations and capital expenditures.  We have funded these requirements primarily through cash generated from operations.  We have no funded debt and our lease obligations are primarily due to arrangements that are not considered capital leases but must be recorded on our balance sheets.  We believe funds generated from our expected results of operations and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our primary obligations, dividends, stock repurchases and complete capital projects that we have underway or currently contemplate.

We also have a $60.0 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note F to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facility. The availability at June 30, 2019 was $49.6 million and there were no borrowed amounts outstanding.

Summary of Cash Activities

Our cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $14.8 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $28.9 million for the same period of 2018. This decrease was due to less net income and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2019 versus 2018 and larger increases in other assets and liabilities in 2019 versus 2018; partly offset by larger increases in customer deposits in 2019 compared to 2018.  For additional information about the changes in our assets and liabilities, refer to our Balance Sheet Changes discussion.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $5.5 million in the first six months of 2019 versus $13.7 million for the same period of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to smaller capital expenditures in 2019.

Financing activities used cash of $26.5 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $19.9 million for the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to $8.5 million in greater common stock purchases in 2019.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Balance Sheet Changes for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, as compared to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, changed as follows:

· increase in inventories of $3.4 million to meet demand for holiday sales event at the end of quarter;

· increase in other current assets of $4.2 million from increase in receivables from third party financing of $2.2 million and from tenant incentive receivables of $2.2 million;

· decrease in property and equipment, net of $59.3 million primarily due to transition adjustment for ASU 2016-02 of $53.5 million;

· increase in right-of-use lease assets of $187.2 million primarily due to transition adjustment of $177.9 million for ASU 2016-02;

· increase in customer deposits of $4.6 million due to increase in undelivered sales;

· decrease in accrued liabilities of $6.6 million due to typical payments for year-end accruals and reduction in reserves;

· increase of $28.8 million of current and $158.8 million of noncurrent lease liabilities primarily due to adoption of ASU 2016-02;

· decrease of $4.0 million of current and $46.8 million of noncurrent lease obligations primarily due to adoption of ASU 2016-02; and

· decrease of $7.9 million of other liabilities primarily due to transition adjustment of $9.5 million for ASU 2016-02.

Store Plans and Capital Expenditures

Location	Opening (Closing) Quarter Actual or Planned	Category
Newnan, GA	Q-3-19	Opening
St. Louis, MO	Q-3-19	New Market
Baton Rouge, LA	Q-4-19	Relocation

These plans combined with other changes should increase net selling space in 2019 by approximately 1.4%. Total capital expenditures are estimated to be $19.0 million in 2019 depending on the timing of spending for new projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We had no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates since our last annual report.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and similar matters, and those that include the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  For those statements, Havertys claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties.  The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in the economic environment; changes in the housing market; changes in industry conditions; competition; changes in consumer preferences and spending patterns; merchandise costs; energy costs; management of relationships with our suppliers and vendors and disruptions in their operations; the imposition of tariffs and the effect of retaliatory trade measures; timing and level of capital expenditures; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; and other risks identified in Havertys’ SEC reports and public announcements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes with respect to our financial instruments and their related market risks since the date of the Company’s most recent annual report.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The board of directors has authorized management, at its discretion, to repurchase limited amounts of our common stock and Class A common stock. A program was initially approved by the board on November 3, 1986 with subsequent authorizations made as to the number of shares to be repurchased or amount to be repurchased in total dollars. On May 17, 2019,  the board authorized management to repurchase up to $10.0 million of common and Class A common stock in addition to the amount remaining from a previous authorization.

The following table presents information with respect to our repurchase of Havertys’ common stock during the second quarter of 2019:
