Tariff Impacts



Rod & Wire

  • Domestic steel tariffs have led to expanded metal margins which are a benefit to us

  • Seeking opportunities to serve new customers

US Spring

  • We are strategically positioned to take on new customers shifting from imports

  • Competitive pressure from low-cost imports remains high due to evolving tariff strategies

Specialty Foam

  • Limited exposure on imported chemicals; currently excluded from tariffs

  • Identifying alternative sources for materials most impacted by tariffs

Hydraulic Cylinders

  • Impacts on sourcing intercompany product from India; evaluating shifting production to other locations

  • Domestic production provides an advantage vs some competitors

Adjustable Bed

  • Significant sourcing exposure on imported finished product and components, including electronics from China

  • Exiting domestic production that was disadvantaged vs imports

  • Largest indirect exposure; limited direct exposure

Automotive

  • Mainly domestic business with immaterial exposure to imported raw materials

Flooring

  • Significant global sourcing with ability to resource to lowest total cost regions

  • Well positioned to serve customers that may face supply disruption from their existing vendors

Textiles

  • Limited sourcing exposure and sales from foreign locations into U.S.

  • Opportunities to serve customers desiring domestically-produced finished furniture and components

Work Furniture

  • Meaningful disruptions in early Q2 that normalized with the delay of tariffs

  • Established SE Asian production to be at par with competitors and reduce impacts from tariffs

Home Furniture



Tariff Mitigation Strategy and Risks



Mitigation Strategies

  • Sourcing product domestically or from alternative lowest total cost countries

  • Shifting production to take advantage of our global footprint

  • Passing along price increases where necessary

  • Heightened sensitivity on inventory management

    Potential Risks

    ↓ Rise in inflation in the near term

    ↓ Decline in consumer confidence

    ↓ Decrease in consumer demand

    Currently, we expect tariffs to be a net positive for Leggett

↓ Disruptions to global supply chains

Foreign Direct Sourcing Exposure by Country

~$400m annual spend (prior to tariff implementation)
