HNI Q3 2021 Earnings Report
HNI Corporation reported mixed results for Q3 2021, with strong growth in Residential Building Products and a continuing recovery in Workplace Furnishings, but faced headwinds from labor availability, supply chain disruptions, and inflation.
Key Takeaways
HNI Corporation reported Q3 2021 sales of $586.7 million and net income of $19.2 million. Revenue increased 15.7% year-over-year, driven by growth in both Residential Building Products and Workplace Furnishings. However, earnings per share decreased to $0.43 compared to $0.71 in the prior year due to unfavorable price-cost, return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year quarter and increased investment spend.
Residential Building Products revenue grew 26% year-over-year, and operating profit increased more than 10% versus Q3 2020.
Workplace Furnishings revenue was up approximately 11% from the third quarter of 2020.
The corporation is expanding capacity by opening a new seating facility in Mexico and continuing domestic hiring.
The corporation completed the acquisition of Trinity Hearth and Home, an installing distributor in North Texas.
