About La-Z-Boy Incorporated
About La-Z-Boy Incorporated
La-Z-Boy manufactures and retails upholstered furniture and casegoods under the La-Z-Boy, England, and Joybird brands, anchored by a network of 378 La-Z-Boy Stores (230 company-owned), over 500 Comfort Studio locations, and nearly 900 branded-space locations across North America. The company disposed of its Kincaid and American Drew wholesale casegoods businesses in fiscal 2026 and 2027 to focus on its core upholstery operations, and approximately 90% of upholstered units sold in North America were manufactured domestically in fiscal 2026.
La-Z-Boy's Retail segment sells directly to consumers through company-owned stores, while its Wholesale segment manufactures and sells to independently owned La-Z-Boy Stores, Comfort Studio and branded-space locations, and other dealers, with approximately 60% of fiscal 2026 Wholesale segment sales flowing through this proprietary dealer network. Manufacturing inputs include polyurethane foam sourced mostly from three suppliers and cover fabric and leather from a limited number of major suppliers across China, Brazil, Vietnam, and the United States, while Vietnam alone supplied over 90% of the company's smaller imported-finished-goods category (itself about 5% of consolidated sales) through five major suppliers. Wholesale backlog fell to $74.9 million as of April 25, 2026 from $119.5 million a year earlier, reflecting softer consumer demand, and the company is eligible for a refund of certain tariffs following a February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating IEEPA-based duties, though the amount and timing remain uncertain.
Show full overview
La-Z-Boy's tariff mitigation strategy - manufacturing roughly 90% of North American upholstered units domestically - shields the bulk of its business from import duties, but that protection does not extend to its smaller, higher-margin casegoods import book, where over 90% of finished-goods purchases came from Vietnam through just five major suppliers in fiscal 2026, and rising tariffs and ocean freight costs already pushed those import prices higher during the year. The upholstery supply chain carries its own concentration: most polyurethane foam comes from three suppliers, and cover fabric and leather depend on a limited number of major vendors, so a disruption at any one of these suppliers could still interrupt production even though the tariff exposure on that production is comparatively low.
