On April 28, 2025, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2025 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 April 29, 2025, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its first quarter results, annual earnings guidance, market conditions, company initiatives, and related matters.
The press release contains the Company’s (i) Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Adjusted EPS; (iii) Adjusted EBIT; (iv) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (v) EBITDA; (vi) EBITDA Margin; (vii) Adjusted EBITDA; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (x) change in Organic Sales.
The press release also contains Segments’ (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (v) change in Organic Sales.
Company management believes the presentation of Net Debt/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 this ratio 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/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), and Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 change in 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 7 and 8 of the press release.

PRESS RELEASE DATED APRIL 28, 2025
Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL 28, 2025
Leggett & Platt Reports 1Q 2025 Results
Carthage, MO, April 28, 2025 ---
| ● | 1Q sales of $1.0 billion, a 7% decrease vs 1Q24 |
|---|---|
| ● | 1Q EPS of $.22, 1Q adjusted^1^ EPS of $.24, a $.01 increase vs<br>adjusted^1^ 1Q24 EPS |

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
Firstquarter sales were $1.0 billion, a 7%^2^ decrease versus first quarter 2024
| ● | Organic sales^3^ were down 7% |
