NOTE A – Business and Reporting Policies

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (“Havertys,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a retailer of a broad line of residential furniture in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. We operate all of our stores using the Havertys brand and do not franchise our concept. We operate in one reportable segment, home furnishings retailing. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We believe all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. We believe that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. Newly effective ASU’s not noted herein were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The adoption of ASU 2013-02 concerns presentation and disclosure only and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to our historical accrual process for certain vendors' pricing allowances. The non-cash adjustment increased gross profit by $0.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2013. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this correction, management has determined that our previously issued quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated and that the out-of-period adjustment is immaterial to our estimated full year 2013 results and to our earnings’ trends.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Havertys’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE B – Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our insurance carrier requires us to collateralize a portion of our workers' compensation obligations. These escrowed funds are shown as restricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet and are investments in money market funds held by an agent. The annual agreement with our carrier governing these funds expires on December 31, 2013.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE C – Accounts Receivable

Amounts financed under our in-house credit programs were, as a percent of net sales, approximately 4.0% and 5.1% during the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The credit program selected most often by our customers is “12 months no interest with equal monthly payments.” The terms of the other programs vary as to payment terms (30 days to three years) and interest rates (0% to 21%). The receivables are collateralized by the merchandise sold.

Accounts receivable balances resulting from certain credit promotions have scheduled payment amounts which extend beyond one year. These receivable balances have been historically collected earlier than the scheduled dates. The amounts due per the scheduled payment dates approximate as follows: $8.5 million in one year, $0.7 million in two years, $0.3 million beyond two years for receivables outstanding at June 30, 2013.

Accounts receivable are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We provide an allowance utilizing a methodology which considers the balances in problem and delinquent categories of accounts, historical write-offs, existing economic conditions and management judgment. Interest assessments are continued on past-due accounts but no “interest on interest” is recorded. Delinquent accounts are generally written off automatically after the passage of nine months without receiving a full scheduled monthly payment. Accounts are written off sooner in the event of a discharged bankruptcy or other circumstances that make further collections unlikely.

We believe that the carrying value of existing customer receivables, net of allowances, approximates fair value because of their short average maturity. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to customer receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our account base and their dispersion across 16 states.

NOTE D – Interim LIFO Calculations

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on actual inventory levels. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates. Since these estimates may be affected by factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to change based upon the final year-end LIFO inventory valuations.

NOTE E – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following summarizes the change in balance and the reclassification from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (amounts in thousands):

NOTE F – Income Taxes

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a year to date adjustment.

Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 38.6% and 38.1%, respectively.

NOTE G – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and customer deposits approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The assets related to our self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and employees are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares held, a Level 1 valuation technique. The assets related to our deferred compensation plans totaled approximately $1.8 million at June 30, 2013 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2012 and are included in other assets. The related liability of the same amount is included in other liabilities.

NOTE H – Pension Plans

We have a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees hired on or before December 31, 2005. The pension plan was closed to any employee hired after that date. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s final average compensation. Effective January 1, 2007, no new benefits are earned under this plan for additional years of service after December 31, 2006.

We also have a non-qualified, non-contributory supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for employees whose retirement benefits are reduced due to their annual compensation levels. The SERP limits the total amount of annual retirement benefits that may be paid to a participant in the SERP from all sources (Retirement Plan, Social Security and the SERP) to $125,000. The SERP is not funded so we pay benefits directly to participants.

Net pension costs included the following components (in thousands):

NOTE I – Stock Based Compensation Plans:

As more fully discussed in Note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have options and awards outstanding for Common Stock under two stock-based employee compensation plans.

The following table summarizes our share option and award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	Restricted Stock Awards					Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights					Options
	Shares or Units			Weighted-Average Award Price		Rights			Weighted-Average Award Price		Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price

Exercisable at June 30, 2013		—			—		49,700			8.72		18,000		$	20.75

Grants of restricted common stock and stock-settled appreciation rights are made to certain officers and key employees under the 2004 LTIP Plan. The restrictions on the awards generally lapse annually, primarily over four year periods. The compensation is being charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants’ vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis. Stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30 was approximately $2.0 million in 2013 and $1.3 million in 2012. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding restricted common stock grants was $10.1 million at June 30, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and outstanding stock-settled appreciation rights at June 30, 2013 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized compensation cost related to unvested equity awards was approximately $5.7 million and scheduled to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

NOTE J – Earnings Per Share

We report our earnings per share using the two-class method. The income per share for each class of common stock is calculated assuming 100% of our earnings are distributed as dividends to each class of common stock based on their contractual rights.

The Common Stock of the Company has a preferential dividend rate of at least 105% of the dividend paid on the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock, which has ten votes per share as opposed to one vote per share for the Common Stock (on all matters other than the election of directors), may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Class A Common Stock.

Stores are non-comparable if open for less than one year or if the selling square footage has been changed significantly during the past 12 full months. Large clearance sales events from warehouse or temporary locations are excluded from comparable store sales as are periods when stores are closed.

Our average written ticket is up approximately 7.7% for the second quarter and 10.3% for the first half of the year. Sales in the custom order segment of our upholstery business and casual dining product categories continued to show strength in the second quarter of 2013 increasing 21.7% and 30.4%, respectively, over the prior year corresponding period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was 53.4%, up 80 basis points compared to 52.6% in the prior year period. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $191.6 million, which included an additional $0.8 million out-of-period adjustment recorded in the first quarter. Excluding the 20 basis point impact of the adjustment, gross profit for the first half was 53.4%, up 100 basis points compared to 52.4% in the prior year period.

The primary factors in generating this gross profit improvement were: our expansion of upper-middle price point products in our assortment, an abnormally high level of accessory close outs in the prior year, our focus on pricing discipline, and reduced inbound ocean freight costs.

We plan to remain competitive, but not overly aggressive with our pricing structure. Gross profit margins for the second half of 2013 are expected to be better than the 52.7% margin recorded for the second half of 2012 but modestly below the first half adjusted rate of 53.4%.

Substantially all of our occupancy and home delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as are a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are comprised of five categories: selling; occupancy; delivery and certain warehousing costs; advertising and marketing; and administrative.

Total SG&A expenses as a percent of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 1.8% to 48.6% from 50.4% in the prior year period. Total SG&A dollars for the second quarter of 2013 increased $6.8 million compared to the prior year period. Selling expenses increased $2.1 million as commissions and credit costs rose in line with sales. Advertising expense increased $1.5 million as we increased our television spending. Our administrative expenses increased $1.8 million for employee costs including: wages, increased stock compensation expense, payroll taxes and employee group health benefit costs.

SG&A costs for the first half of 2013 decreased 2.4% to 47.6% as a percent of sales from 50.0%. Total SG&A dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2013 rose $12.2 million compared to the prior year period. This change includes increases of $4.5 million in selling expenses as commissions and credit costs rose in line with sales, additional advertising expense of $1.2 million, and increased compensation and related payroll benefit costs of $3.7 million.

Our fixed and discretionary type expenses within SG&A costs for the full year 2013 are expected to be at the high end of the $220.0 million to $222.0 million range discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. This range represents an increase of approximately 4.5% over the same costs for 2012. These expenses will generally increase 3% to 5% annually due to inflation, expansion, staffing, and decisions made on the level of advertising spend. The variable costs within SG&A for the full year 2013 are anticipated to be on the lower end of the previously stated range of 17.0% to 17.5% as a percent of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements include working capital needs, contractual obligations, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations and capital expenditures. We have funded these requirements primarily through cash generated from operations. We have no funded debt and our lease obligations are primarily due to arrangements that are not considered capital leases but must be recorded on our balance sheets. We believe funds generated from our expected results of operations and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our primary obligations, dividends, stock repurchases and complete capital projects that we have underway or currently contemplate.

We also have a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. Availability fluctuates under a borrowing base calculation and is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The borrowing base was $52.5 million and there were no outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2013. Amounts available are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $50.0 million line amount and reduced by $6.2 million since a fixed charge coverage ratio test was not met for the immediately preceding twelve months, resulting in a net availability of $43.8 million. There were no borrowed amounts outstanding under the facility at June 30, 2013.

Summary of Cash Activities

Our cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $13.0 million in the first half of 2013 compared to $20.5 million for the same period of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a more significant reduction in accounts payable and other liabilities and an increase in other current assets partially offset by increased earnings in 2013. For additional information about the changes in our assets and liabilities refer to our Balance Sheet Changes discussion.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $10.2 million in the first six months of 2013 versus $12.6 million for the same period of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to reduced capital expenditures in 2013.

Financing activities used cash of $4.0 million in the first six months of 2013 compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2012. The increase was due in part to the withholding taxes for vested restricted shares. The number of shares vesting increased as the acceleration goals of certain grants were met during the second quarter of 2013. We also paid a greater dividend in 2013.

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

Balance Sheet Changes for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, as compared to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, changed as follows:

decrease in prepaid expenses of $1.8 million primarily due to collection of income tax receivables;
increase in other current assets of $2.1 million due in part to timing of payments from third party financing company;
decrease in property and equipment of $1.2 million as depreciation expense outpaced capital expenditures;
decrease in accounts payable of $7.8 million due to timing of payments and receipt of inventory;
decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.3 million due to timing of payments partly offset by additional amounts related to insurance; and
decrease in other liabilities of $4.8 million as we made $3.0 million in contributions reducing our pension plan liability.

Store Plans and Capital Expenditures

Store plans for 2013 include the expansion of five showrooms and 18 of our Bright Inspiration store refreshes. We also closed three stores at the end of their lease term; Clearwater, Florida was closed in the first quarter, and Jackson, Mississippi and Roanoke, Virginia were closed in the second quarter. These changes should decrease net selling square footage by approximately 2.0% in 2013.

Our planned capital expenditures for 2013 are approximately $22.0 million and $25.0 million in 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2013 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. We had no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates since our last annual report.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and similar matters, and those that include the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Havertys claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in the economic environment; changes in the housing market; changes in industry conditions; competition; merchandise costs; energy costs; timing and level of capital expenditures; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; and other risks identified in Havertys’ SEC reports and public announcements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes with respect to our financial instruments and their related market risks since the date of the Company’s most recent annual report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
