Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
La-Z-Boy Incorporated and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively, “we,” “our,” “us,” “La-Z-Boy” or the “Company”) make “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning expectations, projections or trends relating to our results of operations, financial results, financial condition, strategic initiatives and plans, sustainability initiatives and commitments, acquisitions and divestitures, expenses, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, borrowing capacity, investments, future economic performance, and our business and industry.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “feels,” “forecasts,” “hopes,” “intends,” “likely,” “non-recurring,” “one-time,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “short-term,” “target,” “unusual,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak to our views only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are all based on currently available operating, financial, and competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also affect our business operations and financial performance.
Our actual future results and trends may differ materially from those we anticipate depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 25, 2026, under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this report, our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 25, 2026, or any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason.
In addition, information included in, and any issues identified as material or any derivatives of the word material for purposes of, this report may not be considered material for SEC reporting purposes. Within the context of this report, the term “material” (or any derivatives of the word material) is distinct from, and should not be confused with, such term as defined for SEC reporting purposes.
