FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014


1.	The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies and are incorporated by reference.

	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1929 and is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of residential and commercial upholstered and wooden furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of upholstered and wood furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs and bedroom furniture. The Company’s products are intended for use in home, office, hotel, healthcare and other commercial applications. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which our name “Flexsteel” is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through the Company’s sales force and various independent representatives.

2.	INVENTORIES

	The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Raw steel is valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories valued on the LIFO method would have been approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million higher at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, if they had been valued on the FIFO method. At September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014 the total value of LIFO inventory was $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. A comparison of inventories is as follows:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2014		June 30, 2014
Raw materials	$	11,550	$	11,603
Work in process and finished parts		5,737		5,470
Finished goods		88,873		80,867
Total	$	106,160	$	97,940


3.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

	The Company’s cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Generally accepted accounting principles on fair value measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities require that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.


	The Company maintains supplemental retirement plans, collectively referred to as the Supplemental Plan, which provides for additional annual defined contributions toward retirement benefits to certain of the Company’s executive officers. Funds of the Supplemental Plan are held in a Rabbi Trust. The assets held in the Rabbi Trust are not available for general corporate purposes. The Rabbi Trust is subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency, but otherwise must be used only for purposes of providing benefits under the plans. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s Supplemental Plan assets, held in the Rabbi Trust, were invested in stock and bond funds and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair market value. As of September 30, 2014, the Supplemental Plan Assets were $3.8 million, with $0.8 million of the Supplemental Plan assets classified as “Other Current Assets” and $3.0 million as “Other Assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2014, the Supplemental Plan assets were $3.8 million, with $0.7 million classified as “Other Current Assets” and $3.1 million classified as “Other Assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are classified as Level 2 in accordance with fair value accounting as described above.

4.	CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

	The Company maintains a credit agreement which provides short-term working capital financing up to $25.0 million with interest of LIBOR plus 1% (1.1565% at September 30, 2014), including up to $4.0 million of letters of credit. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2014 totaled $2.9 million. The Company utilized $8.0 million of borrowing availability under the credit facility during the period, which is classified as “Notes Payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in addition to the aforementioned letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability of $14.1 million. The credit agreement expires June 30, 2016. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.

	An officer of the Company is a director at a bank where the Company maintains an additional unsecured $8.0 million line of credit, with interest at prime minus 2% (1.25% at September 30, 2014), and where its routine banking transactions are processed. The Company utilized borrowing availability during the period and $4.0 million was outstanding on the line of credit at September 30, 2014, which is classified as “Notes Payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The credit agreement expires February 13, 2015. In addition, the Supplemental Plan assets, held in a Rabbi Trust, of $3.8 million are administered by this bank’s trust department. The Company receives no special services or pricing on the services performed by the bank due to the directorship of this officer.

	Fair value of the Company’s debt approximates the carrying value.

5.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

	Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options and shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price is greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal period were the end of the contingency period.

	In computing EPS for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:


	September 30,
(in thousands)	2014		2013

Basic shares		7,371		7,125
Potential common shares:
Stock options		283		294
Long-term incentive plan		13		13
		296		307
Diluted shares		7,667		7,432
Anti-dilutive shares		—		—


6.	ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

	On September 26, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of a 500,000 square foot building on 26.6 acres of land in Edgerton, Kansas for $24 million, to be used as a distribution facility. The Company utilized cash of $12 million and borrowing availability of $12 million to acquire the land and building.

7.	LITIGATION

	Indiana Civil Litigation – In December 2013, the Company entered into a confidential agreement to settle the Indiana Civil Litigation. The Company paid $6.3 million to Plaintiffs to settle the matter without admission of wrongdoing. The Company continues to believe that it did not cause or contribute to the contamination. This settlement was recorded as litigation settlement costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

	During the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in legal and other related expenses that were incurred responding to the lawsuits and pursuing insurance coverage. These expenses are included in SG&A expense in the consolidated statements of income.

	The Company will continue to pursue the recovery of additional defense and settlement costs from insurance carriers. Based on policy language and jurisdiction, insurance coverage is in question. The Company filed an appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court regarding two adverse opinions of an Iowa District Court regarding coverage issues. The Iowa Court of Appeals reversed the District Court, ruling in favor of the Company, and the Iowa Supreme Court denied further review. The cases have now been returned to the Iowa District Court for further proceedings.

	Other Proceedings – From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL:

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.

Overview

The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the Company’s results of operations on a comparative basis for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company’s net sales.


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Net sales		100.0	%		100.0	%
Cost of goods sold		(76.5	)		(77.3	)

Operating income		6.6			5.2
Other income, net		0.5			0.5
Income before income taxes		7.1			5.7
Income tax expense		(2.6	)		(2.1	)
Net income		4.5	%		3.6	%

The following table compares net sales in total and by area of application for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 to the prior year quarter.


(in millions)	Net Sales
	Quarter Ended September 30,					$ Change
Area of Application	2014		2013		(in thousands)			% Change
Residential	$	92	$	84	$	8			9	%
Commercial		17		20		(3	)		(15	)%
Total	$	109	$	104	$	5			4	%

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2014 vs. 2013

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $109 million, a 4% increase compared to $104 million in the prior year quarter. Residential net sales were $92 million in the current quarter, an increase of 9% from the prior year quarter of $84 million. Commercial net sales were $17 million in the current quarter compared to $20 million in the prior year, a decrease of 15%.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 23.5% compared to 22.7% in the prior year quarter. The improvement is from product mix changes and focus on margin realization.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $18.4 million or 16.9% of net sales, compared to $18.2 million or 17.5% of net sales in the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2013. Indiana civil litigation defense costs in the current quarter were $0.1 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.

Operating income for the first quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $7.1 million compared to operating income of $5.4 million in the prior year quarter.

The Company realized a non-taxable gain on life insurance of $0.4 million, or $0.06 per share in the current quarter. The gain is included in “interest and other income” in the consolidated statements of income.

The effective income tax expense rate for the current three-month period was 37.0% compared to an income tax expense rate of 36.5% in the prior year three-month period. The effective rates include the federal statutory rate as well as the effect of the various state taxing jurisdictions.

The above factors resulted in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $4.9 million or $0.64 per share compared to $3.8 million or $0.51 per share for the prior year quarter. All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at September 30, 2014 was $107 million compared to $129 million at June 30, 2014. The Company purchased land and a building in Edgerton, Kansas for $24 million, to be used as a distribution facility, utilizing cash of $12 million and short-term borrowings of $12 million. Accounts payable increased $10 million primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers. Inventory increased $8 million to support anticipated increased sales volume in upholstered, case goods and ready-to-assemble product categories.

The Company’s main source of liquidity is cash, cash flows from operations and short-term borrowings. As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company had cash totaling $10.3 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The Company maintains a credit agreement which provides short-term working capital financing up to $25.0 million with interest of LIBOR plus 1% (1.1565% at September 30, 2014), including up to $4.0 million of letters of credit. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2014 totaled $2.9 million. The Company utilized $8.0 million of borrowing availability under the credit facility during the period, which is classified as “Notes Payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in addition to the aforementioned letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability of $14.1 million. The credit agreement expires June 30, 2016. At September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.

An officer of the Company is a director at a bank where the Company maintains an additional unsecured $8.0 million line of credit, with interest at prime minus 2% (1.25% at September 30, 2014), and where its routine banking transactions are processed. The Company utilized borrowing availability during the period and $4.0 million was outstanding on the line of credit at September 30, 2014, which is classified as “Notes Payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The credit agreement expires February 13, 2015. In addition, the Supplemental Plan assets, held in a Rabbi Trust, of $3.8 million are administered by this bank’s trust department. The Company receives no special services or pricing on the services performed by the bank due to the directorship of this officer.

Cash decreased by $11.9 million during the first fiscal quarter of 2014 with net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million, capital expenditures of $25.8 million, proceeds from short-term borrowings of $12.0 million and payment of dividends of $1.1 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million in the first quarter ended September 30, 2014 was comprised primarily of net income of $4.9 million, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.3 million and non-cash charges of $1.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $25.9 million and $1.0 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures were $25.8 million and $0.7 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $10.9 million primarily from proceeds from short-term borrowings of $12.0 million partially offset by payment of dividends of $1.1 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 primarily for the payment of dividends of $1.1 million.

The Company expects that capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2015 will include approximately $8-$10 million to complete interior construction and to equip the distribution facility and $5.0 million for other operating capital expenditures. Management believes that the Company has adequate cash, cash flows from operations and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements for fiscal year 2015. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and to purchase productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Outlook

Due to existing strong order backlog and positive order trends the Company expects top line growth will continue for fiscal year 2015. Residential growth is expected from existing customers and products, and through expanding our product portfolio and customer base. The Company believes this growth will be led by increased demand for upholstered and ready-to-assemble products. The Company anticipates sales of commercial products consistent with fiscal year 2014. The Company is confident in its ability to take advantage of market opportunities.

The Company has two multi-year initiatives in progress designed to enhance customer experience and increase shareholder value. In anticipation of future growth we are implementing a logistics strategy, and are assessing our business information system requirements. Consistent with the logistics strategy, the Company will be investing an additional $8-$10 million to complete interior construction and to equip the distribution facility. We are in the early stages of the business information system assessment. The timing and level of additional investment required for these initiatives will be evaluated as the projects progress. Other operating capital expenditures are estimated to be $5.0 million for the remainder of fiscal 2015. The Company believes it has adequate working capital and borrowing capabilities.

The Company remains committed to its core strategies, which include providing a wide range of quality product offerings and price points to the residential and commercial markets, combined with a conservative approach to business. We will maintain our focus on a strong balance sheet through emphasis on cash flow and increasing profitability. We believe these core strategies are in the best interest of our shareholders.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties and taxes on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs and decrease earnings.

Inflation – Increased operating costs are reflected in product or services pricing with any limitations on price increases determined by the marketplace. Inflation or other pricing pressures could impact raw material costs, labor costs and interest rates which are important components of costs for the Company and could have an adverse effect on our profitability, especially where increases in these costs exceed price increases on finished products.

Foreign Currency Risk – During the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have sales, purchases, or other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company is not exposed to material market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices.
