La-Z-Boy Incorporated Q1 2027 Earnings Call Summary
La-Z-Boy reported Q1 2027 retail growth of 10% and same-store sales up 3%, driven by store expansion and in-store execution. Wholesale performance declined due to seasonal softness. Management guided Q2 sales to $500M-$520M, with margins pressured by supply chain projects and advertising spend. The company is consolidating manufacturing and distribution centers, and divested its wholesale Casegoods business.
