Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 7, 2026, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026 and related matters. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
The press release contains the Company’s (i) Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Adjusted EPS; (iii) Adjusted EBIT; (iv) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (v) EBITDA; (vi) EBITDA Margin; (vii) Adjusted EBITDA; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (x) change in Organic Sales.
The press release also contains Segments’ (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; and (v) change in Organic Sales.
Company management believes the presentation of Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) provides investors a useful way to assess the time it would take the Company to pay off its debt, ignoring various factors including interest and taxes. Management uses these ratios as supplemental information to assess its ability to pay off its incurred debt. Because we may not be able to use our earnings to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the presentation of Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) may have material limitations.
Company management believes the presentation of Company Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), and Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to investors in that it aids investors’ understanding of underlying operational profitability. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental information to assess the Company’s operational performance.
Organic Sales is calculated as trade sales excluding sales attributable to acquisitions and divestitures consummated within the last twelve months. Company management believes the presentation of change in Organic Sales is useful to investors and is used by management as supplemental information to analyze our underlying sales performance from period to period in our legacy businesses.
The above non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for, or more meaningful than, their GAAP counterparts. For non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of the press release.

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 7, 2026
Leggett & Platt Reports 1Q 2026 Results
Carthage, MO, May 7, 2026 —
•
1Q sales of $918 million, a 10% decrease vs 1Q25, including a 5% decrease from divestitures
•
1Q EPS of $.14, 1Q adjusted1 EPS of $.15, a $.09 decrease vs
adjusted1 1Q25 EPS
•
Withdrawing previously issued 2026 guidance due to the pending acquisition by Somnigroup International
President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, “In aggregate, first quarter sales were in line with our expectations, and
restructuring actions implemented over the past two years continued to deliver EBIT benefits, reflecting continued progress in structurally improving our earnings profile.
“At the same time, first quarter results reflected lower market demand across most of our businesses compared to the prior year, particularly in
residential end markets. Demand in our domestic bedding business was lower than anticipated, as the overall health of the U.S. industry remains challenged across both manufacturers and retailers due to continued weakness in consumer activity. Market
conditions were stable early in the quarter, and the President’s Day promotional period generally met expectations. As the quarter progressed, however, weather-related closures, economic uncertainty, and lower consumer sentiment driven by the
war in Iran weighed on demand. As a result, we believe the U.S. mattress market declined by high single to low double digits in the first quarter.
“In addition to weak demand, our teams navigated a dynamic global environment related to the war in Iran, which drove higher transportation costs and
increased transit times late in the quarter, as well as higher chemical prices that will begin to impact our costs in the second quarter. The combination of lower volume and continued cost pressures – most notably in our Furniture,
Flooring & Textile Products segment – resulted in lower margins. We are mitigating these pressures through product and sourcing actions and by passing through price increases where appropriate.
“Despite these macroeconomic challenges and disruptions, we remain focused on our long-term priorities. As previously announced, we signed a merger
agreement with Somnigroup, a valued long–standing customer and partner, that provides Leggett & Platt shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the future growth and value creation of a leading global company. For more than
140 years, Leggett & Platt has been defined by innovation, quality, and strong customer partnerships. We believe this combination positions us well to continue delivering compelling strategic and financial value for our customers, employees
and shareholders.”
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
First quarter sales were $918 million, a 10% decrease versus first quarter last year
•
2025 divestitures decreased sales 5%
•
Organic sales2 were down 5%
1
Please refer to attached tables for Non-GAAP Reconciliations
2
Trade sales excluding acquisitions/divestitures in the last 12 months
•
Volume was down 9%, primarily from continued weak demand across most of our end markets and retailer
merchandising changes in Adjustable Bed
•
Raw material-related selling price increases added 2% to sales
•
Currency benefit increased sales 2%
First quarter EBIT was $45 million, down from $63 million in first quarter 2025. Adjusted1 EBIT was $43 million, down from first quarter 2025 adjusted1 EBIT of $67 million.
•
Adjusted1 EBIT decreased primarily from lower volume,
earnings associated with the divested Aerospace business, and continued margin compression in our Flooring business driven by higher costs combined with pricing pressure resulting from the soft demand environment, partially offset by metal margin
expansion in trade rod. Additionally, higher stock-based compensation expense and an increase in bad debt reserves related to Bedding customers contributed to the year-over-year decline.
EBIT margin was 4.8%, down from 6.2% in the first quarter of 2025, and adjusted1
EBIT margin was 4.7%, down from 6.5%.
First quarter EPS was $.14, an $.08 decrease versus first quarter 2025 EPS of $.22. First quarter

Somnigroup Merger by year-end 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. Such statements are expressly qualified by cautionary statements described in this provision and reflect only the beliefs,

the Somnigroup Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Leggett (the “Somnigroup Merger”), with Leggett surviving the Somnigroup Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Somnigroup, including (i) Leggett’s
shareholders inability to determine the value of consideration to be received in a completed Somnigroup Merger because the exchange ratio is fixed and the market price of Somnigroup common stock will fluctuate; (ii) the completion of the

Company will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Somnigroup Merger; and (ix) the possibility that the expected benefits of the Somnigroup Merger are not realized when expected or at all; impacts of the
Iranian war; increased trade costs, including tariffs; regarding the 2024 and 2026 Restructuring Plans, our ability to timely receive anticipated EBIT benefits, and expected net cash from real estate sales, our ability to accurately forecast sales
and earnings; the adverse impact on our sales, earnings, liquidity, margins, cash flow, costs, and financial condition caused by: global inflationary and deflationary impacts; the demand for our products and our customers’ products; our
