ATLANTA, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (NYSE: HVT and HVT.A), today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 versus Second Quarter 2025:

Steven G. Burdette, President and CEO said, "Our second quarter results reflect the sustained momentum in our business, marked by a fourth consecutive quarter of written, delivered and comp-store sales growth. We posted a strong Memorial Day weekend performance, with average tickets up double-digits. Gross margins expanded to 61.4%, which included the benefit of approximately $1.5 million in IEEPA tariff refunds.

We also advanced our strategic growth initiatives with the openings of two stores, Fenton, Missouri and Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. We are on track to open five additional stores and complete one relocation, increasing our store count to 133 at year-end. Our upcoming entry into Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will extend our footprint to 18 states, consistent with our long-term growth strategy.

This quarter's results underscore our commitment to an exceptional customer experience and disciplined execution across the business. Our strong balance sheet and gross margins, strengthening design business, average-ticket growth, and investments in new markets give us confidence entering the second half of the year."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors as useful information on our operating results and to provide additional information with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

Additionally, the company presents gross profit margin, excluding the impact of IEEPA tariff refunds and LIFO, consolidated adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful supplemental information because they enhance the comparability of the Company's results across periods and more closely align with the metrics management uses to evaluate the performance of its core operations, to conduct internal planning and budgeting, and to make operating decisions. These measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and the Company's presentation may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Comparable Store Sales
Comparable-store or "comp-store" sales is a measure which indicates the performance of our existing stores and website by comparing the sales growth for stores and online for a particular month over the corresponding month in the prior year. Stores are considered non-comparable if they were not open during the corresponding month or if the selling square footage has been changed significantly.

Cost of Goods Sold and SG&A Expense
We include substantially all our occupancy and home delivery costs in SG&A expense as well as a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.

We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary. Our variable expenses are comprised of selling and delivery costs. Selling expenses are primarily compensation and related benefits for our commission-based sales associates, the discount we pay for third party financing of customer sales and transaction fees for credit card usage. We do not outsource delivery, so these costs include personnel, fuel, and other expenses related to this function. Fixed and discretionary expenses are comprised of rent, depreciation and amortization and other occupancy costs for stores, warehouses and offices, and all advertising and administrative costs.
