While the company achieved significant progress in restructuring and product innovation, it faced substantial challenges from weak demand across key segments, a significant decrease in earnings, and ongoing macroeconomic pressures. The impact of imported products further exacerbated the difficulties in the bedding market.
Company Guidance
In the 2025 guidance provided during the Leggett & Platt Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call, the company projects sales to range between $4.0 billion and $4.3 billion, marking a potential decline of 2% to 9% from 2024. Volumes are anticipated to decrease by low to mid-single digits across their segments, with bedding products down mid-single digits, specialized products down mid-single digits, and furniture, flooring, and textiles down low single digits. The expected 2025 earnings per share range is $0.83 to $1.24, factoring in restructuring costs and potential gains from real estate sales, leading to an adjusted EPS forecast between $1.00 to $1.20. The company aims for a full-year adjusted EBIT margin between 6.4% and 6.8%, alongside operating cash flow expectations of $275 million to $325 million. The guidance reflects the challenges related to consumer demand pressures, macroeconomic factors, and restructuring activities, emphasizing a focus on operational efficiencies and strategic initiatives to bolster long-term growth.
