Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in millions, except per share data)

A—Interim Presentation

The interim financial statements of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (we, us, or our) included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for the periods presented. We have prepared the statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year.

The December 31, 2023 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Programs

We participate in trade receivables sales programs in combination with third-party banking institutions and certain customers. Under each of these programs, we sell our entire interest in the trade receivable for 100% of face value, less a discount. Because control of the sold receivable is transferred to the buyer at the time of sale, accounts receivable balances sold are removed from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and the related proceeds are reported as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. We had approximately $50.0 and $60.0 of trade receivables that were sold and removed from our balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We sometimes utilize third-party programs that allow our suppliers to be paid earlier at a discount or for a fee. While these programs assist us in negotiating payment terms with our suppliers, we continue to make payments based on our customary terms. A supplier can elect to take payment from a third party earlier with a discount, and in that case, we pay the third party on the original due date of the invoice. Contracts with our suppliers are negotiated independently of supplier participation in the programs, and we cannot increase payment terms pursuant to the programs. The accounts payable associated with the third-party programs, which remain on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, were approximately $100.0 at June 30, 2024 and $105.0 at December 31, 2023, respectively.

The above items encompass multiple individual programs that are utilized as tools in our cash flow management, and we offer them as options to facilitate customer and vendor operating cycles. Because many of these programs operate independently, and a cessation of all these programs at the same time is not reasonably likely, we do not expect changes in these programs to have a material impact on our operating cash flows or liquidity.

New Accounting Guidance

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regularly issues updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU). Below is a summary of the ASUs effective for future periods that are most relevant to our financial statements:

Not yet adopted

•ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”: This ASU requires additional disclosures about reportable segments' expenses and other items on an interim and annual basis. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

•ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”: This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

The FASB has issued accounting guidance, in addition to the issuances discussed above, effective for current and future periods. This guidance did not have a material impact on our current financial statements, and we do not believe it will have a material impact on our future financial statements.

B—Revenue

Revenue by Product Family

We disaggregate revenue by customer group, which is the same as our product families for each of our segments, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. For information on our segment structure, see Note C.

C—Segment Information

We have three operating segments that supply a wide range of products:

•Bedding Products: This segment supplies a variety of components and machinery used by bedding manufacturers in the production and assembly of their finished products, as well as produces private label finished mattresses and adjustable bed bases. This segment is also vertically integrated into the production and supply of specialty foam chemicals, steel rod, and drawn steel wire to our own operations and to external customers. We also supply steel rod and wire to trade customers that operate in a broad range of markets.

•Specialized Products: From this segment, we supply lumbar support systems, seat suspension systems, motors and actuators, and control cables used by automotive manufacturers. We also produce and distribute tubing and tube assemblies for the aerospace industry and engineered hydraulic cylinders used in the material-handling and heavy construction industries.

•Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products: Operations in this segment supply a wide range of components for residential and work furniture manufacturers, as well as select lines of private label finished furniture. We also produce or distribute carpet cushion, hard surface flooring underlayment, and textile and geo components.

Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments, which also correspond with our management organizational structure. Our Bedding Products and Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products segments have an executive vice president who has accountability to, and maintains regular contact with, our CEO, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM). With the retirement of our Specialized Products segment executive vice president in April 2024, our CEO became acting segment manager on a temporary basis for this segment until a permanent replacement is named. The operating results and financial information reported through the segment structure are regularly reviewed and used by the CODM to evaluate segment performance, allocate overall resources, and determine management incentive compensation.

The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate performance based on Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). Intersegment sales are made primarily at prices that approximate market-based selling prices. Centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based on estimates of services used by the segment. Certain of our general and administrative costs and miscellaneous corporate income and expenses are allocated to the segments based on sales or other appropriate metrics. These allocated corporate costs include depreciation and other costs and income related to assets that are not allocated or otherwise included in the segment assets.

E—Restructuring and Related Activities

In the first quarter of 2024, we committed to a restructuring plan, primarily associated with our Bedding Products segment and, to a lesser extent, our Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products segment (the “Restructuring Plan” or “Plan”), which is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The Plan was expanded in the second quarter of 2024 to include a small restructuring opportunity within the Specialized Products segment.

LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Over the course of the restructuring timeline, we plan to consolidate between 15 and 20 production and distribution facilities (out of 50) in the Bedding Products segment and a small number of production facilities in the Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products segment. Our total costs for this Plan are expected to be between $65.0 and $85.0, of which $40.0 to $50.0 are anticipated to be incurred in 2024 and the remainder in 2025. As of June 30, 2024, we have incurred costs of $22.0.

The following table presents information associated with this Plan:


	Total Amount Expected to be Incurred	Six Months Ended June 30, 2024		Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

There were no impairment charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (the business groups that are one level below the operating segments) when triggering events occur, or at least annually. We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing in the second quarter. The 2023 goodwill impairment testing indicated no impairments.

The 2024 annual goodwill impairment testing resulted in a $675.3 non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the following reporting units:


Reporting Unit	Segment	Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Bedding	Bedding Products	$	587.2
Work Furniture	Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products	44.5
Hydraulic Cylinders	Specialized Products	43.6
		$	675.3

In general, the fair values for our reporting units have decreased versus prior year due to macroeconomic pressures, including low demand, particularly in residential end markets. The fair values of our reporting units are reconciled to our consolidated market capitalization, which decreased due to the significant decline in stock price during the second quarter of 2024. Our closing stock price per share was $26.17 on December 29, 2023, $19.15 on March 28, 2024, and $11.46 on June 28, 2024. The impairment was concluded in connection with the preparation of the second quarter financial statements. If actual results differ materially from estimates used in our calculations, we could incur future impairment charges.

LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

The fair values of our reporting units in relation to their respective carrying values and significant assumptions used are presented in the tables below. The 2024 information excludes Hydraulic Cylinders, as this unit had no goodwill remaining after the second quarter 2024 impairment.


2024
Fair Value over Carrying Value divided by Carrying Value	June 30, 2024 Goodwill Value		Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) Range for Sales	Terminal Values Long-term Growth Rate for Debt-Free Cash Flow		Discount Rate Ranges

	$	1,489.8	<1% - 17%	3	%	8% - 12%

1 This category includes three reporting units (Bedding, Aerospace, and Work Furniture) for 2024 and the Bedding, Aerospace, and Hydraulic Cylinders units for 2023.

• The fair value of our Bedding reporting unit was less than its carrying value at our second quarter 2024 testing date, resulting in a partial goodwill impairment as discussed above. Fair value exceeded carrying value by 40% at our second quarter 2023 testing date. There was a triggering event in the fourth quarter of 2023 for this reporting unit due to certain customers' efforts to improve their financial position by moving their business to or exploring alternate suppliers. Accordingly, we performed a goodwill impairment test at that time, which indicated no goodwill impairments, but fair value in excess of carrying value had decreased to 19%. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $314.5 at June 30, 2024 and $906.5 at December 31, 2023.

• The fair value of our Aerospace reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 21% at our second quarter 2024 testing date as compared to 44% in 2023. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $66.9 at June 30, 2024 and $67.0 at December 31, 2023.

• The fair value of our Work Furniture reporting unit was less than its carrying value at our second quarter 2024 testing date, resulting in a partial goodwill impairment, as discussed above. Fair value exceeded carrying value by 74% at our second quarter 2023 testing date. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $54.3 at June 30, 2024 and $99.6 at December 31, 2023.

• The fair value of our Hydraulic Cylinders reporting unit was less than its carrying value at our second quarter 2024 testing date, resulting in a full goodwill impairment, as discussed above. Fair value exceeded carrying value by 18% at our second quarter 2023 testing date. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $44.6 at December 31, 2023.

Other long-lived assets

We review material intangibles mid-year and other long-lived assets for recoverability at year end and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

All long-lived asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were related to the Restructuring Plan. For details, please see Note E.

G—Accounts and Other Receivables

Accounts and other receivables consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Current		Long-term		Current		Long-term
Total trade receivables	$	610.5	$	—	$	575.4	$	—
Allowance for doubtful accounts - trade receivables	(17.5)		—		(10.5)		—
Trade receivables, net	$	593.0	$	—	$	564.9	$	—


Taxes receivable, including income taxes	4.0		—		3.1		—
Value-added taxes (VAT) recoverable 1	40.0		11.5		56.6		—
Other receivables	11.7		4.8		12.7		1.2

Other receivables, net	$	55.7	$	16.3	$	72.4	$	1.2

1 This includes recoverable amounts from various countries, including Mexico, where we have experienced VAT refund delays from the Mexican government. We believe these are fully collectible, and our recent discussions with the government have resulted in an updated timeline for resolution. As a result, we have classified $11.5 as long-term as of June 30, 2024. The aggregate of current and long-term balances of Mexico VAT recoverable was $41.0 and $48.2 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Activity related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is reflected below:


	Balance at December 31, 2023		Change in Provision		Less: Net Charge-offs/ (Recoveries) and Other		Balance at June 30, 2024




Total allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables	$	10.5	$	8.3	$	1.3	$	17.5

H—Inventories

The following table recaps the components of inventory for each period presented:


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Finished goods	$	332.0	$	361.3
Work in process	78.0		73.5
Raw materials and supplies	345.4		384.9

Inventories	$	755.4	$	819.7

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For the majority of our inventories, we use the first-in, first-out method, which is representative of our standard costs (includes materials, labor, and production overhead at normal production capacity). Remaining inventories are valued using an average-cost method.

Inventories are reviewed at least quarterly for slow-moving and potentially obsolete items using actual inventory turnover and, if necessary, are written down to estimated net realizable value.

I—Credit Facility Amendment

Effective March 22, 2024, we amended our credit facility to change the Leverage Ratio. The prior Leverage Ratio covenant required us to maintain, as of the last day of each quarter, or when we borrow under the credit facility, a Leverage Ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to trailing 12-month consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the credit facility) of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

Under the amendment, the Leverage Ratio covenant was increased from 3.50 to 1.00 to 4.00 to 1.00 for each quarter-end beginning March 31, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025. The Leverage Ratio covenant will revert

LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

to 3.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and thereafter until maturity. Also, the provision permitting a temporary increase in the maximum Leverage Ratio in the event of a Material Acquisition will not apply unless the acquisition occurs after June 30, 2025.

The maturity date of September 30, 2026 remains unchanged. At June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all of its debt covenants and expect to be able to maintain compliance with the amended debt covenant requirements.

J—Stock-Based Compensation

The following table recaps the impact of stock-based compensation on the results of operations for each of the periods presented:
