Leggett & Platt Reports 1Q 2025 Results

PR Newswire


CARTHAGE, Mo.
, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

  • 1Q sales of $1.0 billion, a 7% decrease vs 1Q24
  • 1Q EPS of $.22, 1Q adjusted1 EPS of $.24, a $.01 increase vs adjusted1 1Q24 EPS
  • 1Q operating cash flow of $7 million, a $13 million increase vs 1Q24
  • 2025 guidance sales and adjusted EPS unchanged: sales of $4.0–$4.3 billion, EPS of $.85–$1.26; adjusted EPS of $1.00–$1.20

President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, “We are pleased to report better than anticipated first quarter earnings. Our earnings improvement is a testament to the excellent execution of our restructuring plan and operational efficiency improvement initiatives, as well as disciplined cost management. As we navigate the complex and fluid tariff environment, we are mitigating impacts while pursuing any opportunities to capture increased demand for domestically produced products. While we expect that tariffs overall may be a net positive for our business, we are concerned about potential negative effects on inflation, consumer confidence, and discretionary demand.

“Now more than ever, we are committed to our strategic priorities of strengthening our balance sheet, improving profitability and operational efficiency, and positioning the company for long-term growth. Our restructuring plan continues to make progress, and in early March we divested a small U.S. machinery business. As part of our ongoing strategic portfolio review, we recently signed an agreement to sell our Aerospace business, which we expect to close this year.

“Given our conservative outlook due to macroeconomic uncertainties as we entered the year and despite the current trade policy uncertainties, we are maintaining our sales and adjusted EPS guidance for 2025. Although the domestic bedding industry is now expected to be more challenged than previously anticipated, the resulting lower volume will likely be offset primarily by steel-related tariff benefits. Our business is resilient, and with the support of our dedicated employees, we remain confident in our ability to successfully execute our strategic priorities and deliver long-term shareholder value.”


FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

First quarter sales were $1.0 billion, a 7%2 decrease versus first quarter 2024

  • Organic sales3 were down 7%
    • Volume was down 5%, primarily from continued weak demand in residential end markets, soft demand in Automotive and Hydraulic Cylinders, the expected exit of a customer in Specialty Foam, and restructuring-related sales attrition. These declines were partially offset by higher trade rod and wire sales and growth in Textiles and Aerospace.
    • Raw material-related selling price decreases reduced sales 1%
    • Currency impact reduced sales 1%

First quarter EBIT was $63 million, flat to first quarter 2024 EBIT. Adjusted1 EBIT was $67 million, a $3 million increase from first quarter 2024 adjusted1 EBIT.

  • 1Q 2025 adjustments include: $7 million of restructuring charges and a $3 milliongain from the sale of real estate
  • 1Q 2024 adjustments include: $11 million of restructuring charges, an $8 milliongain from the sale of real estate, and a $2 milliongain on net insurance proceeds from tornado damage
  • Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from restructuring benefit, operational efficiency improvements, and disciplined cost management partially offset by lower volume and metal margin compression.

EBIT margin was 6.2%, up from 5.7% in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 6.5%, up from 5.8%.

First quarter EPS was $.22, a $.01 decrease versus first quarter 2024 EPS of $.23. First quarteradjusted1 EPS was $.24, up $.01 versus first quarter 2024 adjusted1 EPS of $.23.
