CARTHAGE, Mo., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

   -- 2Q sales of $1.0 billion, a 6% decrease vs 2Q25, including a 5% decrease 
      from divestitures 
 
   -- 2Q EPS of $.33, 2Q adjusted1 EPS of $.39, a $.09 increase vs 
      adjusted1 2Q25 EPS 

President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, "We are pleased with how our teams managed through a challenging environment in the second quarter. Our employees remained focused on disciplined execution and cost management which, along with favorable items that we do not expect to repeat in future quarters, contributed to improved adjusted earnings.

"Bedding industry conditions remain challenged both by sluggish consumer activity and continued consolidations and bankruptcies across the value chain. We estimate that U.S. mattress market units declined by low double digits in the second quarter, similar to the declines we saw in the first quarter. In our Bedding Products segment, continued strong performance of our trade rod and wire business partially offset the decline from lower mattress demand.

"Across our other segments, demand remained soft in markets tied to housing and broader consumer spending as consumers were faced with additional uncertainty resulting from the war in the Middle East and higher gas prices. In Specialized Products, Automotive performed slightly below the market, which saw lower consumer demand across all regions. In Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products, growth in Textiles offset lower demand in the remaining businesses, which are more directly exposed to U.S. residential spending, leading to a slight improvement in trade sales.

"As we look forward, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities while expecting ongoing macroeconomic headwinds to temper consumer demand across most of our businesses for the remainder of the year.

"Finally, we continue to progress towards the planned merger with Somnigroup. As previously announced, the waiting period under the HSR Antitrust Improvements Act expired in June. We anticipate the transaction to close upon satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the special meeting planned for August 20(th) and the remaining required regulatory approvals. As previously stated, we believe this combination with a valued long--standing customer will create a leading global company - providing compelling strategic and financial value for our customers, employees, and the Leggett & Platt shareholders."

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Second quarter sales were $1.0 billion, a 6% decrease versus second quarter last year

   -- 2025 divestitures decreased sales 5% 
 
   -- Organic sales2 were down 1% 
 
          -- Volume was down 4%, primarily from continued weak demand across 
             most of our end markets, retailer merchandising changes in 
             Adjustable Bed, and the decision during the fourth quarter of 2025 
             to walk away from a financially challenged customer in U.S. Spring 
 
          -- Raw material-related selling price increases added 2% to sales 
 
          -- Currency benefit increased sales 1% 

Second quarter EBIT was $80 million, down from $90 million in second quarter 2025. Adjusted(1) EBIT was $89 million, up from second quarter 2025 adjusted(1) EBIT of $76 million.

   -- Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from metal margin expansion, 
      restructuring benefit, and other favorable items, most of which are not 
      expected to repeat in future quarters.  EBIT margin was 8.0%, down from 
      8.5% in the second quarter of 2025, and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 8.9%, 
      up from 7.1%. 

Second quarter EPS was $.33, a $.05 decrease versus second quarter 2025 EPS of $.38. Second quarter adjusted(1) EPS was $.39, up $.09 versus second quarter 2025 adjusted(1) EPS of $.30.

   -- Total Debt at June 30 was $1.5 billion in three tranches of long-term 
      bonds at $500 million each 
 
   -- Operating cash flow was $46 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 
      $38 million versus second quarter 2025, reflecting an expected larger 
      investment in working capital and lower earnings 
 
   -- Capital expenditures were $21 million 
 
   -- Dividends were $7 million 
 
          -- In May, Leggett & Platt's Board of Directors declared a second 
             quarter dividend of $.05 per share, flat versus last year's second 
             quarter dividend 
 
          -- In July, Leggett & Platt's Board of Directors declared a third 
             quarter dividend of $.05 per share, flat versus last year's third 
             quarter dividend. The dividend will be paid on August 24, 2026. 

SEGMENT RESULTS -- Second Quarter 2026 (versus 2Q 2025)

Bedding Products --

   -- Trade sales decreased 1% 
 
          -- Volume decreased 7%, primarily due to retailer merchandising 
             changes and lower volume with a certain customer in Adjustable Bed, 
             demand softness in U.S. and European bedding markets, and the 
             decision during the fourth quarter of 2025 to walk away from a 
             financially challenged customer in U.S. Spring. These declines 
             were partially offset by higher trade rod and wire sales. 
 
          -- Raw material-related selling price increases and currency benefit 
             added 6% to sales 
 
   -- EBIT increased $15 million and adjusted1 EBIT increased $24 million 
 
   -- Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from metal margin expansion, favorable 
      sales mix, temporary price-cost timing benefit in Specialty Foam, and 
      restructuring benefit. These increases were partially offset by lower 
      volume. 
 
   -- We believe U.S. mattress market units were down low double digits in the 
      second quarter 

Specialized Products --

   -- Trade sales decreased 19% 
 
          -- 2025 divestiture of Aerospace reduced sales 16% 
 
          -- Volume decreased 4% from softer market demand 
 
          -- Currency benefit increased sales 1% 
 
   -- EBIT decreased $20 million and adjusted1 EBIT decreased $15 million 
 
   -- Adjusted1 EBIT decreased primarily from earnings associated with the 
      divested Aerospace business, currency impact, and lower volume 
 
   -- Automotive volume was slightly below major market production in the 
      quarter, driven by underperformance in Asia partially offset by 
      outperformance in Europe and North America 

Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products --

   -- Trade sales increased 1% 
 
          -- Volume was flat with growth in Textiles offset by declines in Home 
             Furniture, Work Furniture, and Flooring 
 
          -- Raw material-related selling price increases added 1% to sales 
 
          -- 2025 divestiture of a small facility in Work Furniture reduced 
             sales <1% 
 
   -- EBIT and adjusted1 EBIT increased $5 million 
 
   -- Adjusted1 EBIT benefited from refunds of IEEPA tariffs that were paid 
      during the eleven-month period they were in force. During that period, 
      competitive pressures led to margin compression as cost increases, 
      including tariffs, were not fully recovered through increased selling 
      prices. 

2026 GUIDANCE AND CONFERENCE CALL

On April 13, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by Somnigroup International Inc. $(SGI)$.

As is customary while a transaction is pending, Leggett & Platt's 2026 guidance issued in February was withdrawn last quarter and should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, Leggett & Platt will not host a conference call. For further details on quarterly performance, please refer to Leggett & Platt's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which is expected to be filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
