LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of La-Z-Boy Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). We derived the April 24, 202130, 2022 balance sheet from our audited financial statements. We prepared the interim financial information in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which we applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but the information does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In management’s opinion, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed), that are necessary for a fair statement of results for the respective interim periods. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the full fiscal year ending April 30, 2022.29, 2023.
At October 23, 2021,July 30, 2022, we owned investments in 2 privately-held companies consisting of non-marketable preferred shares, and warrants to purchase common shares, and convertible notes. Each of 2 privately-heldthese companies both of which areis a variable interest entities. Weentity and we have not consolidated their results in our financial statements because we do not have the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and, therefore, are not the primary beneficiary.

Note 2: Acquisitions
On August 16, 2021, we completed our asset acquisition of the Long Island, New York business that operates 3 independently owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores for $4.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we paid $4.4 million of cash for the purchase of the Long Island, New York stores and assets. This acquisition is a core part of one of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) where the model makes sense geographically, alongside of the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network.
Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Long Island, New York market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $0.8 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $4.4 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these
synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years.
The acquisition of the Long Island, New York businessnoted below was not significant to our consolidated financial statements and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented. All of our provisional purchase accounting estimates for this acquisition are based on the information and data available to us as of the time of the issuance of these financial statements, and in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805-10-25-15, are subject to change within the first 12 months offollowing the acquisition as we gain additional data.
Prior Year AcquisitionsDenver, Colorado acquisition

InWe paid $7.2 million of cash during the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2021, a $2.0 million cash payment was made for2023 and the purchase withremaining consideration includes forgiveness of accounts receivable and future guaranteed payments of $9.4 million to be paid over 36 months or fewer, with timing of payments dependent upon the achievement of sales thresholds defined in the purchase agreement.based on final working capital adjustments. This acquisition isreflects a core part of onecomponent of our strategic priorities, which is to grow our company-owned retail business and leverage our integrated retail model (where we earn a combined profit on both the wholesale and retail sales) wherein suitable geographic markets, alongside the model makes sense geographically, alongside of theexisting La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® network.
Prior to this acquisition, we licensed to the counterparty the exclusive right to own and operate La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores (and to use the associated trademarks and trade name) in the Seattle, WashingtonDenver, Colorado market, and we reacquired these rights when we consummated the transaction. The reacquired rights are indefinite-lived because our Retailer Agreements are perpetual agreements that have no specific expiration date and no renewal options. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. We recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $2.2$4.3 million related to these reacquired rights. We also recognized $12.9$7.7 million of goodwill in our Retail segment related primarily to synergies we expect from the integration of the acquired stores and future benefits of these
synergies. For federal income tax purposes, we will amortize and appropriately deduct all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill assets over 15 years.
The acquisition of the Seattle, Washington business was not significant to our consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, pro-forma financial information is not presented.
Post-Quarter End Acquisition
On October 25, 2021 we completed the acquisition of Furnico Furniture Ltd ("Furnico"), an upholstery manufacturing business in the U.K for approximately $11.5 million. Furnico also operates a wholesale business, selling white label products to key U.K. retailers. With this acquisition, we expect to realize production synergies, cost savings through materials procurement, and increases in production capacity for the La-Z-Boy product.
Comparability
During fiscal 2021, we determined that holdback payments for acquisition purchases of $5.8 million included in net cash used by investing activities should have been included in net cash used by financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2021. Although the amount impacting payments for acquisitions was not material to the fiscal 2021 consolidated financial statements, the classification of these amounts has been corrected by revising the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 24, 2020.
Note 3: Cash and Restricted Cash
We have restricted cash on deposit with a bank as collateral for certain letters of credit. All our letters of credit have maturity dates within the next twelve months, but we expect to renew some of these letters of credit when they mature.

We test indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. We test amortizable intangible assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.

Note 8: Product Warranties
We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties when we recognize revenue on the sale of warrantied products. We estimate future warranty claims on product sales based on our historical claims experience and periodically adjust the provision to reflect changes in actual experience. We incorporate repair costs into our liability estimates, including materials, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform repairs, and any costs associated with delivering repaired product to our customers. Over 90% of our warranty liability relates to our Wholesale reportable segment as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year to three years on fabric and leather, from one to ten years on cushions and padding, and provide a limited lifetime warranty on certain mechanisms and frames. Ourframes, unless otherwise noted in the warranty. Additionally, our Wholesale segment warranties cover labor costs relating to our parts for one year. We provide a limited lifetime warranty against defects on a majority of Joybird products, which are a part of our Corporate and Other results. For all our manufacturer warranties, the warranty period begins when the consumer receives our product. We use considerable judgment in making our estimates, and we record differences between our actual and estimated costs when the differences are known.
A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability is as follows:

We recorded accruals during the periods presented in the table above, primarily to reflect charges that relate to warranties issued during the respective periods.
Note 9: Debt
On October 15, 2021, we entered into a new five-year $200.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and working capital. We may increase the size of the facility, either in the form of additional revolving commitments or new term loans, subject to the discretion of each lender to participate in such increase, up to an additional amount of $100.0 million. The Credit Facility will
mature on October 15, 2026 and provides us the ability to extend the maturity date for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. As of October 23, 2021, we have no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, financial covenants requiring a maximum consolidated net lease adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as customary covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, merge or consolidate, and dispose of assets. As of October 23, 2021, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility replaces our previous $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which had been secured primarily by all of our accounts receivable, inventory, cash deposits, and securities accounts. The previous revolving credit facility was terminated on October 15, 2021, and is no longer in effect.

(1)Liability-based awards are comprised primarily of deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date and is remeasured each reporting period based on the market value of our common shares on the last day of the reported period.
Stock Options. We granted 252,996318,411 stock options to employees during the first quarter of fiscal 20222023 and we have stock options outstanding from previous grants. We account for stock options as equity-based awards because when they are exercised, they will be settled in common shares. We recognize compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date the Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of our Compensation CommitteeBoard approved the awards. The vesting period for our stock options ranges from one to four years, with accelerated vesting upon retirement. The vesting date for retirement-eligible employees is the later of the date they meet the criteria for retirement or the end of the fiscal year in which the grant was made. We accelerate the expense for options granted to retirement-eligible employees over the vesting period, with expense recognized from the grant date through their retirement eligibility date or over the ten months following the grant date, whichever period is longer. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur.
We estimate the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 20222023 was calculated using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Unaudited) | | Fiscal 20222023 grant | | Assumption |
Risk-free interest rate | | 0.82 | %2.87% | | U.S. Treasury issues with term equal to expected life at grant date |
Dividend rate | | 1.58 | %2.70% | | Estimated future dividend rate and common share price at grant date |
Expected life | | 5.0 years | | Contractual term of stock option and expected employee exercise trends |
Stock price volatility | | 42.16 | %42.78% | | Historical volatility of our common shares |
Fair value per option | | $ | 12.297.90 | | | |
Restricted Stock. We granted 114,963239,883 shares of restricted stock units to employees during the first six monthsquarter of fiscal 2022.2023 and we also have restricted stock awards outstanding from previous grants. We issue restricted stock at no cost to the employees and the shares are held in an escrow account until the vesting period ends. If a recipient's employment ends during the escrow period (other than through death or disability), the shares are returned at no cost to the Company. We account for restricted stock awards as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. The weighted-averageWe recognize compensation expense for restricted stock over the vesting period equal to the fair value of the restricted stock that was awarded in the first six months of fiscal 2022 was $38.43 per share, the market value of our common shares on the date the Compensation and Talent Oversight Committee of grant.our Board approved the awards. Restricted stock awards generally vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date over a term of four years, with continued vesting upon retirement with
respect to the fiscal 2023 grants. The vesting date for retirement-eligible employees is the later of the date they meet the criteria for retirement or ten months after the grant date. We accelerate the expense for restricted stock granted to retirement-eligible employees over the vesting period, with expense recognized from the grant date through their retirement eligibility date or over the ten months following the grant date, whichever period is longer. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. We recognize compensation expense forThe weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock overthat was awarded in the vesting period equal to the fair value on the date our Compensation Committee approved the awards. Restricted stock awards vest at 25% per year, beginning one year from the grant date over a term of four years.
Restricted Stock Units. During the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2022, we granted 29,910 restricted stock units to our non-employee directors. These restricted stock units vest when the director leaves the board. We account for these restricted stock units as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in shares of our common stock. We measure and recognize compensation expense for these awards based on2023 was $24.44 per share, the market pricevalue of our common shares on the datedates of the grant, which was $35.11.grant.
Performance Shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022,2023, we granted 125,021240,833 performance-based shares. Weshares and we also have performance-based share awards outstanding from previous grants. PayoutPayouts of the fiscal 2022 grant dependsthese grants depend on our financial performance (50%) and a market-based condition based on the total return our shareholders receive on their investment in our stock relative to returns earned through investments in other public companies (50%). The performance share opportunity ranges from 50% of the employee’s target award if minimum performance requirements are met to a maximum of 200% of the target award based on the attainment of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years. Grants of performance-based shares during fiscal 2021 were weighted the same as those granted during fiscal 2022 while grants of performance-based shares during fiscal 2020 were weighted (80%) on financial performance and (20%) on market-based conditions.
We account for performance-based shares as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in common shares. WeIn the event of an employee's termination during the vesting period, the potential right to earn shares under this program is generally forfeited and we have elected to recognize forfeitures as an adjustment to compensation expense in the same period asin which the forfeitures occur. For shares that vest based on our results relative to the performance goals, we expense as compensation cost the fair value of the shares as of the day we granted the awards recognized over the performance period, taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance goals. The fair value of each share of the awards we granted in fiscal 20222023 that vest based on attaining performance goals was $36.13,$22.43, the market value of our common shares on the date we granted the awards less the value of the dividends we expect to pay shareholders before the shares vest. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we use a Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate each share’s fair value as of the date of grant. The Monte Carlo valuation model uses multiple simulations to evaluate our probability of achieving various stock price levels to determine our expected performance ranking relative to our peer group. For shares that vest based on market conditions, we expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied. Based on the Monte Carlo model, the fair value as of the grant date of the fiscal 20222023 grant of shares that vest based on market conditions was $51.85.$36.63.

Note 12:11: Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is primarily derived from product sales. We report product sales net of discounts and recognize them when control (rights and obligations associated with the product) passes to the customer. For sales to furniture retailers or distributors, control typically transfers when we ship the product. In cases where we sell directly to the end consumer, control of the product is generally transferred upon delivery.
For shipping and handling activities, we have elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. We expense shipping and handling costs at the time we recognize revenue in accordance with this election.
For sales tax, we have elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows us to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes.
We have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. As our contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components, we have not adjusted consideration.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. We receive customer deposits from end consumers before we recognize revenue and in some cases we have the unconditional right to collect the remaining portion of the order price before we fulfill our performance obligation, resulting in a contract asset and a corresponding deferred revenue liability. In our consolidated balance sheet, customer deposits and deferred revenue (collectively, the "contract liabilities") are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities while contract assets are reported as other current assets.

Note 13:12: Segment Information
Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.
Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of 3 operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under 3 brands: American Drew®, Hammary® and Kincaid®. The Wholesale segment also includes our international wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into 1 reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture, such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.
Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of 1 operating segment comprised of our 159166 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other accessories, to end consumers through these stores.
Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in
Hong Kong and Joybird, an e-commerce retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture, such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer primarily online through its website, www.joybird.com. None of the operating segments included in Corporate & Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.

(1)Prior to fiscal 2019, we granted restricted stock awards that contained non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares, and we are required to include these participating securities in calculating our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method. Beginning in fiscal 2019 and going forward, the restricted stock awards we granted do not have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and therefore are not considered participating securities. The dividends on these restricted stock awards are, and will continue to be, held in escrow until the stock awards vest at which time we will pay any accumulated dividends.

The values for contingent common shares set forth above reflect the dilutive effect of common shares that we would have issued to employees under the terms of performance-based share awards if the relevant performance period for the award had been the reporting period.
We exclude the effect of options from our diluted share calculation when the weighted average exercise price of the options is higher than the average market price, since including the options' effect would be anti-dilutive. For the second quarter and six months ended October 23, 2021,July 30, 2022, we excluded options to purchase 0.31.5 million shares from the diluted share calculation. For the secondfirst quarter and six months ended OctoberJuly 24, 2020, we excluded 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares, respectively, from2021, all outstanding options were included in the diluted share calculation.
Note 16:15: Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards require that we put financial assets and liabilities into one of three categories based on the inputs we use to value them:
•Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
•Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or on model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities, the values of which are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Accounting standards require that in making fair value measurements, we use observable market data when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, we categorize the fair value measurement as being in the lowest level that is significant to the measurement. We recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
In addition to assets and liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We measure non-financial assets such as other intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived assets at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment, and we record them at fair value only when we recognize an impairment loss.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities we measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 23, 2021July 30, 2022 and April 24, 2021.30, 2022. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for any of the periods presented.

(1)Certain marketable securities investments are measured at fair value using net asset value per share under the practical expedient methodology.
At October 23, 2021July 30, 2022 and April 24, 2021,30, 2022, we held marketable securities intended to enhance returns on our cash and to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, as well as marketable securities to fund future obligations of our executive deferred compensation plan and our performance compensation retirement plan. We also held other fixed income and cost basis investments.
The fair value measurements for our Level 1 and Level 2 securities are based on quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs.
At October 23, 2021,July 30, 2022 and April 30, 2022, our Level 3 assets included investments in 2 privately-held companies consisting of non-marketable preferred shares, and warrants to purchase common shares, of 2 privately held start-up companies.and convertible notes. The fair value for our Level 3of these equity investments (preferred shares and warrants) is not readily determinable soand therefore, we estimate the fair value as costs minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments with the same issuer. The convertible notes are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income, consistent with our other available-for-sale debt securities. There were no changes to the fair value of our Level 3 assets during the six monthsquarter ended October 23, 2021.July 30, 2022.
Our Level 3 liability includes our contingent consideration liability resulting from the Joybird acquisition. Based on the achievement of fiscal 2021 performance metrics, we paid $10.0 million of contingent consideration during the
second quarter of fiscal 2022. The fair value of our contingent consideration liability as of October 23, 2021,July 30, 2022 reflects our expectation that consideration will be owed under the terms of the earn outearnout agreement based on fiscal 2023 projections of Joybird revenue and earnings. The fair value is determined using a variation of the income approach, known as the real options method, whereby revenue and earnings are simulated over the earnout periods in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric Brownian Motion. For each simulation path, the potential earnout payments were calculated based on management’s probability estimates for achievement of the revenue and earnings milestones and then were discounted to the valuation date using a discount rate of 1.8%4.5%. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we recognized an increase in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability of $0.5 million based on an updated valuation reflecting our most recent financial projections. There were no other changes to the fair value of our Level 3 liabilities during the six monthsquarter ended October 23, 2021.July 30, 2022.

Our goal is to deliver value to our shareholders over the long term through executing our strategic initiatives. The foundation of our strategic initiatives is driving profitable sales growth in all areas of our business.
We plan to drive growth in the following ways:
•Leveraging and reinvigorating our brand with a consumer focus and expanded omni-channel presence. Our strategic initiatives to leverage and reinvigorate our iconic La-Z-Boy brand center on a renewed focus on aging down our core consumer, leveraging the compelling La-Z-Boy comfort message, and accelerating our omni-channel offering.offering, and identifying additional consumer-base growth opportunities. Our marketing platform featuring celebrity brand ambassador Kristen Bell drives brand recognition and injects youthful style and sensibility into our marketing campaign, which enhances the appeal of our brand with a younger consumer base. Further, our goal is to connect with consumers along their purchase journey through multiple means, whether online or in person. We are driving change throughout our digital platforms to improve the user experience, with a specific focus on the ease with which customers browse through our broad product assortment, customize products to their liking, find stores to make a purchase, or purchase at www.la-z-boy.com.
•Expanding the reach of our branded distribution channels, which include the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® store network and the La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, our store-within-a-store format. While the consumer’s purchase journey may start digitally, our consumers also demonstrate an affinity for visiting our stores to shop, allowing us to frequently deliver the flagship La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries®Galleries® store, or La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio®, experience and provide design services. We expect our strategic initiatives in this area to generate growth in our Retail segment through an increased company-owned store count and in our Wholesale segment as our proprietary distribution network expands. We are not only focused on growing the number of locations, but also on upgrading existing store locations to our new concept designs.
•Growing our company-owned retail business. We are focused on growing this business by increasing same-store sales through improved execution at the store level and by opportunistically acquiring existing La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and
opening new La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, primarily in markets that can be serviced through our regional distribution centers, where we see opportunity for growth, or where we believe we have opportunities for further market penetration.
•Accelerating the growth of the Joybird brand. During fiscal 2019, we purchased Joybird, a leading e-commerce retailer and manufacturer of upholstered furniture with a direct-to-consumer model. We believe that Joybird is a brand with significant potential and our strategic initiatives in this area focus on fueling profitable growth through an increase in digital marketing spend to drive awareness and customer acquisition, ongoing investments in technology, an expansion of product assortment, and providing additional small formatsmall-format stores in our key urban markets to enhance our consumers' omni-channel experience.
•Enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and enable potential tack-on acquisitions for growth. In addition to our branded distribution channels, nearly 2,000approximately 2,200 other dealers sell La-Z-Boy products, providing us the benefit of multi-channel distribution. These outlets include some of the best-known names in the industry, including Slumberland, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Mathis Brothers and Raymour & Flanagan. We believe there is significant growth potential for our consumer brands through these retail channels. Our strategic initiatives focus on enhancing our enterprise capabilities to support the growth of our consumer brands and improving the agility of our supply chain so that it can more broadly support all our consumer brands.
Our reportable operating segments include the Wholesale segment and the Retail segment.
•Wholesale Segment. Our Wholesale segment consists primarily of three operating segments: La-Z-Boy, our largest operating segment, our England subsidiary, and our casegoods operating segment that sells furniture under three brands: American Drew®, Hammary® and Kincaid®. The Wholesale segment also includes our international wholesale and manufacturing businesses. We aggregate these operating segments into one reportable segment because they are economically similar and meet the other aggregation criteria for determining reportable segments. Our Wholesale segment manufactures and imports upholstered furniture, such as recliners and motion furniture, sofas, loveseats, chairs, sectionals, modulars, ottomans and sleeper sofas and imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as bedroom sets, dining room sets, entertainment centers and occasional pieces. The Wholesale segment sells directly to La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores, operators of La-Z-Boy Comfort Studio® locations, England Custom Comfort Center locations, major dealers, and a wide cross-section of other independent retailers.
•Retail Segment. Our Retail segment consists of one operating segment comprised of our 159166 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores. The Retail segment sells primarily upholstered furniture, in addition to some casegoods and other accessories, to end consumers through these stores.
•Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes the shared costs for corporate functions, including human resources, information technology, finance and legal, in addition to revenue generated through royalty agreements with companies licensed to use the La-Z-Boy® brand name on various products. We consider our corporate functions to be other business activities and have aggregated them with our other insignificant operating segments, including our global trading company in Hong Kong and Joybird, an e-commerce retailer that manufactures upholstered furniture, such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, sleeper sofas and beds, and also imports casegoods (wood) furniture, such as occasional tables and other accessories. Joybird sells to the end consumer primarily online through its website, www.joybird.com. None of the operating segments included in Corporate & Other meet the requirements of reportable segments.
Impact of COVID-19
We have been and continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities, state and local restrictions limiting our ability to deliver product to consumers, and the temporary closure of our company-owned stores consistent with most retailers across North America negatively impacted our financial results. In response to the financial impacts of the pandemic, beginning at the end of fiscal 2020, we took several actions to conserve cash in the near term and during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we announced our business realignment plan, which included the reduction of our global workforce by about 10% across our manufacturing, retail, and corporate locations, including the closure of our Newton, Mississippi upholstery manufacturing facility.
By the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, all retail and manufacturing locations had reopened, and since that time, we have experienced a strong pace of written order trends as consumers continue to allocate more discretionary spending to home furnishings. In response to demand for our products outpacing our production capacity and with backlog still at a high level, our
supply chain team continues to demonstrate agility and flexibility to identify ways to increase production capacity. We have increased capacity by adding manufacturing cells at our Mexico Cut-and-Sew Center, adding second shifts and weekend production shifts to our U.S. plants, and temporarily reactivating a portion of our Newton, Mississippi upholstery manufacturing facility. In addition, we opened a leased upholstery assembly plant in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico and a leased sewing facility in Parras, Mexico during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, respectively. Further, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we signed a lease to open additional manufacturing capacity in Torreon, Mexico which we expect to begin operations in the latter part of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
We continue to actively manage the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as we face continued uncertainty regarding the impact COVID-19 will have on our financial operations in the near and long term. We also continue to actively manage our global supply chain and manufacturing operations, which have been adversely impacted with respect to availability and pricing of raw materials and freight based on uncontrollable factors as well as COVID-19 related constraints on our manufacturing capacity as we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees. The need for, or timing of, any future actions in response to COVID-19 is largely dependent on the mitigation of the spread of the virus along with the adoption and continued effectiveness of vaccines, status of government orders, directives and guidelines, recovery of the business environment, global supply chain conditions, economic conditions, and consumer demand for our products, all of which are highly uncertain.

Sales in the first half of fiscal 2021 were adversely impacted by COVID-19, which caused temporary store and manufacturing facility closures in the latter part of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and a phased reopening in the first two months of fiscal 2021, and had a negative impact on our ability to deliver product to customers. SinceAfter retail and manufacturing locations reopened byafter COVID-related shutdowns at the end of the first quarterbeginning of fiscal 2021, we have experienced a strong pace of written order trends while facing challenges in the global supply chain. In response to heightened demand, we have expanded our manufacturing capacity, increased our strategic raw material reserves, and takentook pricing and surcharge actions in response to counteract rising materials and freight costs. The ongoing impact of these strategic actions over the last two years and sustained demandour ability to work through our significant backlog led to recorda strong sales increase in the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2022.2023 compared with the same period a year ago.
Operating Margin

◦Changes in our consolidated mix reduced gross margin by 40 basis points but improved gross margin by 60160 basis points, in the second quarter and first six monthsdriven by growth of fiscal 2022, respectively. Our Retail segment and Joybird have higher gross margins than our Wholesale segment and, as such, the impact in the second quarter was due to growth in our Wholesale segment relative to growth in our Retail segment, whereas the benefit in the first six months was led by growth in our Retail segment and Joybird relative to growth inwhich has a higher gross margin than our Wholesale segment.
◦Availability challenges in the global supply chain causedGross margin was adversely impacted by COVID-19, as well as an increase in demand, led to higher raw material and freight costs caused by global supply chain and availability challenges, along with higher plant production costs resulting in a decline in gross margin.
◦Gross margin declined further asfrom the expansion of our manufacturing capacity in response to the increase in written order demand led to higher production costs, mainly related to the start-up of new facilities, along with continuedand a challenging labor challenges.environment.
◦Partially offsetting these decreases,the item above, gross margin in our Wholesale segment benefited from increased pricing and surcharge actions taken in response to rising manufacturing costs.surcharges

◦Higherago, as higher delivered sales volume relative to both fixed costs andmore than offset increased investments in marketing spend in both the Wholesale and Retail segment drove the decrease during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022.
◦Additionally, the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 included a gain resulting from the sale of our Newton, Mississippi manufacturing facility while the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 included expenses resulting from our business realignment plan. These actions resulted in a comparative 60 basis point decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022.to drive written sales.
