HNI Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results
MUSCATINE, Iowa--( BUSINESS WIRE)--HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) today announced net sales of $2.8 billion and net income of $54.2 million for the full year ended January 3, 2026. Fourth quarter net sales and net loss were $888.4 million and $49.2 million, respectively.
Highlights
“Fiscal 2025 was a seminal year for HNI Corporation. Late in the year, we completed the acquisition of Steelcase — a combination that will not only transform our company, but also the workplace furnishings industry. And, again in 2025, our members delivered excellent results, as we reported a fourth straight year of double-digit non-GAAP EPS growth despite persistent soft and uncertain macro conditions. The positive momentum of our strategies, the benefits of our diversified revenue streams, our ongoing focus on items within our control, and the merits of our customer-first business model continued to deliver strong shareholder value.
“In our legacy workplace furnishings businesses, full-year net sales increased 15 percent and full-year organic net sales increased six percent year-over-year, fueled primarily by strength from our contract brands and the benefit of an extra week in fiscal 2025. Full-year profitability, excluding the Steelcase stub period, benefitted from volume growth, our profit transformation efforts, and KII synergy capture, while we continued to invest in future growth initiatives. Full-year GAAP operating profit margin improved 50 basis points year-over-year to 9.5 percent, while full-year non-GAAP operating profit margin expanded 100 basis points year-over-year to 10.5 percent, as we delivered on our previously stated goal of achieving double-digit operating margin. Non-GAAP operating margin has expanded nearly 900 basis points over the past three years. Looking ahead, we expect revenue growth for the full year 2026 and margin expansion in our legacy workplace furnishings businesses, even as we continue to invest to drive growth.
“In Residential Building Products, fourth quarter revenue grew more than 10 percent versus the same period of 2024, driven by strength in repair/remodel and the benefits of the extra week. For the full year, revenue increased nearly six percent versus 2024. New construction revenue was flat, with remodel-retrofit up at a double-digit pace—with solid volume improvement. In 2025, segment GAAP operating profit margin expanded 60 basis points year-over-year to 18 percent and segment non-GAAP operating profit margin expanded 60 basis points year-over-year to a strong 18.1 percent, driving greater than nine percent profit growth. We remain encouraged about the long-term opportunities tied to the broader housing market and we continue to invest to grow our operating model and revenue streams. As we look to 2026, we expect modest segment revenue and profit growth, despite ongoing challenges in the new construction market.
“Finally, the integration of the Steelcase acquisition is off to a strong start. Six months following the announcement, we are even more confident in the complementary go-to-market nature of the two businesses—from a capability, product, brand, customer, and cultural perspective. We remain confident in our ability to deliver the targeted synergies of $120 million. And, importantly, we are laser-focused on minimizing any front-end distraction across our Workplace Furnishings businesses. As we have consistently stated, there are no plans to change the dealer partnerships, salesforces, or brand distribution. This continuity is being received positively by customers, industry influencers, and our dealers.
“Our fourth quarter and 2025 results demonstrate the strength of our strategies and our ability to manage through uncertain macroeconomic conditions, while we remain focused on investing for the future. We expect strong results to continue in 2026, driven by our margin expansion efforts, synergy recognition, and continued revenue growth,” stated Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Outlook
Concluding Remarks
“I want to reflect on the fundamental improvements we have driven at HNI. Our transformation has taken multiple steps and years. In Workplace Furnishings, margins have been reset. Three years ago, our legacy workplace furnishings businesses launched a profitability improvement initiative that was instrumental in expanding operating margin nearly 900 basis points. In 2023, price-cost recovery following the period of elevated inflation drove the first phase of expansion. Since then, multiple portfolio management moves, ongoing network optimization efforts, KII synergies, and the benefits of ramping our Mexico facility have supported consistent profitability improvement. Based on initiatives already underway, including the recently announced plans to close our Wayland, New York manufacturing facility, we have line of sight to continued margin expansion in the coming years. And our margin expansion story is increasingly supported by a firming macroeconomic picture in our Workplace segment.
"In our Residential Building Products business, our evolution started with the strategic shifts that followed the Great Financial Crisis. Since then, we have adjusted our cost structure, fully embraced LEAN manufacturing, and continued to pursue a vertically integrated business model with the leading brands in all product categories. The result was more than 1,000 basis points of operating margin expansion over the decade post 2009. Furthermore, since 2019, the efficiency, nimbleness, and uniqueness of our building products business have supported consistently strong profitability, with sustained high margins. The consistency of both margins and cash flow are foundational elements to HNI’s financial strength. We expect this profitability and cash generation stability to continue in 2026 and beyond.
“More recently, our focus in Residential Building Products has shifted to the front end of the business and on driving top line growth. Structural changes have been implemented to organize around the customer and ensure we have laser-focused go-to-market strategies to support our growth initiatives. These front-end investments are paying off in the absence of cyclical support. In 2025, we reported segment revenue growth of six percent, despite continued weakness in the new home market. We expect outperformance again in 2026.
“This historical context helps set the stage as we enter the next, exciting chapter of the HNI story. The acquisition of Steelcase unites two industry leaders to meet the dynamic marketplace and evolving needs of the workplace amid accelerating in-office work trends. We have brought together two highly respected companies with shared values, talented teams, strong financial profiles, and highly complementary capabilities—innovation, thought leadership, and operational excellence chief among them. This strong foundation, combined with expected synergies, will accelerate our ability to invest in long-term operational enhancements, digital transformation, products to meet evolving customer needs, and customer-centered buying experiences. Our integration efforts are well underway, and we are leveraging a disciplined and proven approach informed by recent experience, while continuing to build on the iconic brands for which both companies are widely respected.
“We enter 2026 a transformed and fundamentally stronger organization. We are the market leader in both of our industries — workplace furnishings and hearth products. The acquisition of Steelcase brings tremendous capabilities, and we are confident we can improve Steelcase's margins. Our confidence is based on current synergy projections and does not include any potential revenue synergies. Over the next few years, we expect to drive substantially higher earnings, stronger margins and greater cash flow, with a conservative balance sheet. This will enable us to deliver exceptional value to our shareholders, customers, dealers, members, and communities,” concluded Mr. Lorenger.

The following factors related to the Steelcase acquisition, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements: the risk that the benefits of the Steelcase acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, trade policy (including tariff levels), laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which HNI and Steelcase operate; any failure to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of HNI and Steelcase; and potential adverse reactions to the transaction of HNI’s or Steelcase’s customers, employees or other business partners.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP measures are included below. This information gives investors additional insights into HNI’s financial performance and operations. While HNI’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating HNI’s operations, this information should be considered supplemental and not in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements and our segment results, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures for full year or interim periods: organic net sales and non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, operating profit, income taxes, effective tax rate, net income, and net income per diluted share (i.e., EPS). These measures are adjusted from the comparable GAAP measures to exclude the impacts of the selected items as summarized in the tables below. Generally, non-GAAP EPS is calculated using HNI’s overall effective tax rate for the period, as this rate is reflective of the tax applicable to most non-GAAP adjustments. In the current year and current-year quarter, the effective tax rate used to calculate non-GAAP EPS differs from the GAAP effective tax rate primarily due to the impact of nondeductible charges associated with the acquisition of Steelcase Inc. Additionally, non-GAAP EPS for the Legacy HNI business is calculated by excluding the impact of new issuances of HNI common stock and HNI restricted stock units made in connection with the acquisition of Steelcase Inc.
The sales adjustments to arrive at the non-GAAP organic net sales information presented in this earnings release relate to the exclusion of net sales of Steelcase for a portion of the current full-year period, and HNI India for a portion of the prior year period. The transactions excluded for purposes of other non-GAAP financial information included in this earnings release include: restructuring charges recorded to cost of sales comprised of accelerated depreciation, asset disposals, and relocation and new facility setup costs in the Workplace Furnishings segment; transaction costs associated with the Steelcase acquisition, interest expense associated with bridge loan financing for the Steelcase acquisition, costs associated with factory consolidation and network optimization initiatives in the Workplace Furnishings segment; current-period intangible asset impairment costs in the Workplace Furnishings segment; the gain on sale of a manufacturing facility in Workplace Furnishings; the payout to settle a pension plan at corporate; and the loss on sale of the HNI India business in Workplace Furnishings and at corporate.
This earnings release refers to our expectations regarding non-GAAP EPS. The Corporation is unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to future EPS without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and to the potential variability of, many of the costs and expenses that could potentially impact EPS calculated on a GAAP basis. These items include, but are not limited to, impairments, financial impacts from changes in legal, regulatory, and tax requirements, charges related to actions taken to improve future profitability, and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, if any. These items necessary to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP EPS to EPS could be material and have a significant impact on the Corporation’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
