On February 6, 2023, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2022 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 February 7, 2023, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and year-end results, annual earnings guidance, market conditions and related matters. The press release and slides containing summary financial information will be posted to the Investor Relations section of our website at www.leggett.com on February 6 shortly after the market closes.
The press release contains the Company (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) Organic Sales.
The press release also contains certain Segments’ (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) EBITDA; (iv) 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, EBITDA and 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 Organic Sales, or 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.

President and CEO Mitch Dolloff commented, “Leggett & Platt’s diverse portfolio of businesses, strong cash discipline, and the ingenuity and agility of our employees helped deliver solid results in 2022 despite weak demand in residential end markets. As we moved through the year, the dynamic macroeconomic and geopolitical environment pressured our markets and affected our results. We anticipate 2023 to be a challenging year driven by continued economic uncertainty.
“We are focused on improving the things that we can control and continuing to mitigate the impacts of market challenges on our business. We are working with our customers on new product opportunities, continuing our focus on improving operating efficiency, and driving strong cash management. Our financial strength gives us confidence in our ability to successfully navigate challenging markets while investing in long-term opportunities.
“Finally, I would like to thank our dedicated employees for continually making Leggett & Platt a better company. Your collaboration, dedication, and commitment to our values helped us navigate the many recent challenges and obstacles and will help us to capitalize on opportunities in the future.”
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Fourth quarter 2022 sales were $1.2 billion, a 10% decrease versus fourth quarter 2021
| • | Organic sales^3^ were down 12% |
|---|---|
| • | Volume was down 12%, primarily from continued demand softness in residential end markets, partially offset by<br>growth in our Automotive, Aerospace, and Hydraulic Cylinders businesses |
| --- | --- |
| • | Negative currency impact of 2% was offset by raw material-related selling price increases of 2%<br> |

| --- | --- |
Fourth quarter EBIT was $91 million, down $61 million or 40% from fourth quarter 2021
| • | EBIT declined primarily from lower volume and lower overhead absorption as we intentionally cut production in our<br>Steel Rod business below demand to reduce inventory levels. These declines were partially offset by metal margin expansion. |
|---|---|
| • | As a result of these impacts and inflation, EBIT margin was 7.6%, down from 11.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021<br> |
| --- | --- |
| ^1^ | Record is from continuing operations |
| --- | --- |
| ^2^ | Please refer to attached tables for Non-GAAP Reconciliations<br> |
