Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 2, 2020, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and related matters. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On November 3, 2020, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its third quarter 2020 results and related matters.

The press release contains the Company (i) Net Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Net Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (iii) Adjusted EPS; (iv) Adjusted EBIT; (v) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (vi) EBITDA; (vii) EBITDA Margin; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (x) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); (xi) Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (xii) Organic Sales.

The press release also contains certain Segment’s (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (v) Organic Sales.

Finally, the press release contains the Elite Comfort Solutions, Inc. (“ECS”) EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.

Company management believes the presentation of Net Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) and Net Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) provides investors a useful way to assess the time it would take the Company to pay off its debt, ignoring various factors including interest and taxes. Management uses these ratios as supplemental information to assess its ability to pay off its incurred debt. Because we may not be able to use our earnings to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the presentation of Net Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) and Net Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) may have material limitations.

Company management believes the presentation of Company Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), and certain Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and the ECS EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in that it aids investors’ understanding of underlying operational profitability. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental information to assess the Company’s operational performance.

Organic Sales is calculated as trade sales excluding sales attributable to acquisitions and divestitures consummated within the last twelve months. Company management believes the presentation of Organic Sales is useful to investors, and is used by management, as supplemental information to analyze our underlying sales performance from period to period in our legacy businesses.

The above non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for, or more meaningful than, their GAAP counterparts. For non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of the press release.

CEO COMMENTS

Chairman and CEO Karl Glassman commented, “We are pleased to deliver strong third quarter results in these uncertain times. The efforts of our employees around the world drove the outcome, and I want to thank them for their dedication, hard work and creativity. I also want to thank our teams for their commitment to developing and implementing effective protocols to keep our employees safe and our facilities running during the pandemic. The health and safety of our employees is our first priority, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished.

“We generated quarterly record EBIT, EBITDA and EPS in third quarter. We also generated quarterly record cash flow from operations of $261 million, driven by a significant reduction in working capital. These outstanding results reflect our continued priority on operational performance and closely controlling all elements of working capital.

“Third quarter sales were $1.208 billion, down 3% versus third quarter of 2019. Following steep declines in second quarter, we returned to year-over-year sales growth this past quarter in ECS, U.S. and European Spring, Home Furniture, Fabric Converting and Geo Components. These businesses continued to benefit from a consumer spending focus on home products. Automotive sales were roughly flat with the prior year. Challenges remain in Aerospace and Work Furniture with weak demand in these end markets expected to continue.

“Bedding sales were negatively impacted by extraordinary COVID-related supply chain and labor constraints in third quarter and evolving government restrictions on plant operations. We are diligently working to increase production while managing supply challenges with nonwoven fabrics and chemicals and labor shortages so that we can better meet the growing levels of bedding market demand.

“The Company remains well-positioned, both competitively and financially, to capitalize on long-term opportunities in our various end markets. Our enduring long-term fundamentals give us confidence in our ability to continue to create value for our shareholders.”

^7^ Management and investors use these measures as supplemental information to assess operational performance.<br>
^8^ The non-GAAP adjustments affected various line items on the income<br>statement. Details by quarter: 3Q 2019: ($0.9) million COGS, $4.7 million other expense. 4Q 2019: $5.0 million other expense. 1Q 2020: $8.4 million SG&A, $3.5 million other expense. 2Q 2020: $.5 COGS, $27.8 million other<br>expense. 3Q 2020: $5.1 million other expense, $0.6 million in COGS.

^9^ Management and investors use this ratio as supplemental information to assess ability to pay off debt. These<br>ratios are calculated differently than the Company’s credit facility covenant ratio.

^10^ The Leggett and ECS pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended June 30, September 30, and<br>December 31, 2019 is presented in the table below. Because the increase in debt from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was directly attributable to the ECS acquisition, we believe it is more meaningful to investors to include<br>ECS’s pre-acquisition adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2019 in the net debt / 12-month<br>adjusted EBITDA calculation.
