Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLHR) today announced results for its first quarter ended August 31, 2019. Net sales in the quarter totaled $670.9 million, an increase of 7.4% from the same quarter last fiscal year. New orders in the first quarter of $676.7 million were 6.9% above the prior year level.
On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales and orders in the first quarter increased by 7.7% and 7.3%, respectively, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.
Herman Miller reported net earnings of $0.81 per share on a diluted basis in the first quarter compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.60 in the same quarter last fiscal year. Excluding restructuring expenses and other special charges, adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter totaled $0.84 compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.69 in the first quarter of last fiscal year.
Andi Owen, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Strong sales and order growth for the quarter were led by our North America and Retail businesses. Consolidated sales growth, higher gross margins and well-managed operating expenses combined to drive operating margin expansion over the same quarter last year. While there are clear opportunities for additional improvement, the enterprise at large is executing at a very high level, and we are beginning to realize meaningful benefit from our efforts to align the direction of the global business around a common set of strategic priorities."
