NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar and share amounts in tables, except per share amounts, in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)
For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 30, 2022
1. Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Hooker Furnishings Corporation and subsidiaries (referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Hooker” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 (“2022 Annual Report”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein may not be indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
The financial statements contained herein are being filed as part of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q covering the 2023 fiscal year thirteen-week period (also referred to as “three months,” “three-month period,” “quarter,” “third quarter” or “quarterly period”) that began August 1, 2022, and the thirty-nine-week period (also referred to as “nine months”, “nine-month period” or “year-to-date period”) that began January 31, 2022, which both ended October 30, 2022. This report discusses our results of operations for these periods compared to the 2022 fiscal year thirteen-week period that began August 2, 2021, and the thirty-nine-week period that began February 1, 2021, which both ended October 31, 2021; and our financial condition as of October 30, 2022 compared to January 30, 2022.

On January 31, 2022, the first day of our 2023 fiscal year, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Sunset HWM, LLC (“Sunset West”) and its three members to acquire substantially all the assets of Sunset West (the “Sunset Acquisition”). Simultaneously, we closed on the transaction by paying $23.9 million in cash and $2 million subject to an escrow arrangement and possible earn-out payments to the Sunset West Members up to an aggregate of $4 million with the closing cash consideration subject to adjustment for customary working capital estimates. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we received $639,000 from the seller for the final working capital adjustments. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company also assumed specified liabilities of Sunset West.
Sunset West’s results are included in the Domestic Upholstery segment’s results beginning with the fiscal 2023 first quarter. Consequently, comparable prior-year information for Sunset West is not included in the financial statements presented in this report. The acquisition is discussed in greater detail below in Note 3 Acquisition.
2. Recently Adopted Accounting Policies
No new accounting pronouncements have been adopted in the 2023 fiscal year. We reviewed newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to our business or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements because of future adoption.
3. Acquisition
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), the Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We recorded assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, from Sunset West at their respective fair values at the date of completion of the Acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of such assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition as of October 30, 2022. The preliminary estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented below, when management’s appraisals and estimates are finalized. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we received $639,000 from the seller for the final working capital adjustments.
Fair Value Estimates of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The consideration and components of our initial fair value allocation of the purchase price paid at closing and in the subsequent net working capital adjustment consisted of the following:

Property was recorded at fair value and primarily consists of machinery and equipment. Property and equipment will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. The goodwill recognized is attributable to growth opportunities and expected synergies. All goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Intangible assets, consist of two separately identified assets:
| ■ | Sunset West customer relationships, which are definite-lived intangible assets with an aggregate fair value of $10.4 million. The customer relationships are amortizable and will be amortized over a period of 10 years; and |
| ■ | The Sunset West trade name, which is definite-lived intangible asset with fair value of $1.1 million. The trade name is amortizable and will be amortized over a period of 12 years. |
| ■ | The total weighted average amortization period for these assets is 10.2 years. |
We incurred Acquisition-related costs of $414,000 in fiscal 2022 and $69,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. These expenses were included in the “Selling and administrative expenses” line of our fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sunset West’s results are included in the Domestic Upholstery segment’s results beginning with the fiscal 2023 first quarter, which include $8.8 million in net sales and $1.4 million of operating income, including $282,000 in intangible amortization expense for the fiscal 2023 third quarter and $23.6 million in net sales and $2.4 million of operating income, including $846,000 in intangible amortization expense for the fiscal 2023 nine-month period.

7. Cloud Computing Hosting Arrangement
We are in the process of implementing a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system across all divisions and expect to go-live with this system at Sunset West in late fiscal 2023 and in our legacy Hooker divisions in early fiscal 2024, with other segments and divisions following thereafter. Based on the provisions of ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software, we capitalize implementation costs incurred to develop internal-use software associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These costs are recorded on “Other noncurrent assets” line of our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense is expected to commence at system go-live in the second half of fiscal 2023. The capitalized implementation costs at October 30, 2022 and January 30, 2022 were as follows:

8. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the applicable measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
|
■
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
|
|
■
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
|
|
■
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
|
As of October 30, 2022 and January 30, 2022, Company-owned life insurance was measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company-owned life insurance is determined by inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Additionally, the fair value of the Company-owned life insurance is marked to market each reporting period and any change in fair value is reflected in income for that period.
Our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 30, 2022 and January 30, 2022, were as follows:

10. Leases
We have operating leases for warehouses, showrooms, manufacturing facilities, offices and equipment. We recognized sub-lease income of $34,000 for the three-month period and $415,000 for the nine-month period, both ended October 30, 2022. We recognized sub-lease income of $266,000 for the three-month period and $561,000 for the nine-month period, both ended October 31, 2021.

For leases that commenced before July 2022, we used our incremental borrowing rate which was LIBOR plus 1.5%. When we entered into the new loan agreement our incremental borrowing rate for unsecured term loan became the current BSBY rate plus 1.40%. We use this rate as discount rate for leases commenced in July 2022 and thereafter. The weighted-average discount rate is 3.17%. The weighted-average remaining lease term is 8.0 years.

As of October 30, 2022, the Company had an additional lease for a showroom in High Point, North Carolina. This lease was commenced in November 2022 with an initial lease term of 10 years and estimated future minimum rental commitments of approximately $23.7 million. Since the lease was not commenced as of October 30, 2022, the undiscounted amounts are not included in our financial statements or in the table above.
11. Debt
On July 26, 2022, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) to replenish cash used to make the Acquisition. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of September 29, 2017, had previously been amended by a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of January 31, 2019, a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of November 4, 2020, and a Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of January 27, 2021 (as so amended, the “Existing Loan Agreement”).
Details of the individual credit facilities provided for in the Amendment are as follows:
| ● | Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. Under the Amendment, the expiration date of the existing $35 million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Existing Revolver”) was extended to July 26, 2027. Any amounts outstanding will bear interest at a rate per annum, equal to the then current Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) (adjusted periodically) plus 1.00%. The interest rate will be adjusted on a monthly basis. The actual daily amount of undrawn letters of credit is subject to a quarterly fee equal to a per annum rate of 1%. We must also pay a quarterly unused commitment fee that is based on the average daily amount of the facility utilized during the applicable quarter; |
| ● | 2022 Secured Term Loan. The Amendment provided us with a $18 million term loan (the “Secured Term Loan”), which was disbursed to us on July 26, 2022. We are required to pay monthly interest only payments at a rate per annum equal to the then current BSBY rate (adjusted periodically) plus 0.90% on the outstanding balance until the principal is paid in full. The interest rate will be adjusted on a monthly basis. On July 26, 2027, the entire outstanding indebtedness is due in full, including all principal and interest. The Secured Term Loan is secured by certain company-owned life insurance policies under a Security Agreement (Assignment of Life Insurance Policy as Collateral) dated July 26, 2022, by and between the Company and BofA; and |
| ● | 2022 Unsecured Term Loan. The Amendment provided us with a $7 million unsecured term loan (the “Unsecured Term Loan”), which was disbursed to us on July 26, 2022. We are required to pay monthly principal payments of $116,667 and monthly interest payments at a rate per annum equal to the then current BSBY (adjusted periodically) plus 1.40% on the outstanding balance until paid in full. The interest rate will be adjusted monthly. On July 26, 2027, the entire outstanding indebtedness is due in full, including all principal and interest. |
We may prepay any outstanding principal amounts borrowed under either the Secured Term Loan or the Unsecured Term Loan at any time, without penalty provided that any payment is accompanied by all accrued interest owed. As of October 30, 2022, $6.6 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Term Loan, $18 million was outstanding under the Secured Term Loan.
We incurred $37,500 in debt issuance costs in connection with our term loans. As of October 30, 2022, unamortized loan costs of $35,625 were netted against the carrying value of our term loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Amendment also included customary representations and warranties and requires us to comply with customary covenants, including, among other things, the following financial covenants:
| ● | Maintain a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding: |
|
o
|
2.50:1.0 through July 30, 2023;
|
|
o
|
2.25:1.0 through July 30, 2024; and
|
The other financial covenants under the Existing Loan Agreement continue to apply to us, including a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00 and limit capital expenditures to no more than $15.0 million during any fiscal year. The Existing Loan Agreement also limits our right to incur other indebtedness, make certain investments and create liens upon our assets, subject to certain exceptions, among other restrictions. The Existing Loan Agreement does not restrict our ability to pay cash dividends on, or repurchase, shares of our common stock, subject to our compliance with the financial covenants discussed above, if we are not otherwise in default under the Existing Loan Agreement.
We were in compliance with each of these financial covenants at October 30, 2022 and expect to remain in compliance with existing covenants through fiscal 2023 and for the foreseeable future.
During the fiscal 2023 second quarter, we drew $30.3 million under our $35 million Existing Revolver to cover working capital needs driven by finished goods inventory purchases from our Asian suppliers but had repaid such amounts by the end of the quarter due in part to receiving the proceeds from the Secured Term Loan and Unsecured Term Loan. During the fiscal 2023 third quarter, we drew $5.9 million from the Existing Revolver but repaid such amounts by the end of the quarter. As of October 30, 2022, we had $26.4 million available under our $35 million Existing Revolver to fund working capital needs. Standby letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $8.6 million, used to collateralize certain insurance arrangements and for imported product purchases, were outstanding under the Existing Revolver as of October 30, 2022. There were no additional borrowings outstanding under the Existing Revolver as of October 30, 2022.
12. Earnings Per Share
We refer you to the discussion of Earnings Per Share in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report, for additional information concerning the calculation of earnings per share.
All stock awards are designed to encourage retention and to provide an incentive for increasing shareholder value. We have issued restricted stock awards to non-employee members of the board of directors since 2006 and to certain non-executive employees since 2014. We have issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain senior executives since fiscal 2012 under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU entitles an executive to receive one share of the Company’s common stock if the executive remains continuously employed with the Company through the end of a three-year service period. The RSUs may be paid in shares of our common stock, cash or both at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. We have issued Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain senior executives since fiscal 2019 under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan. Each PSU entitles the executive officer to receive one share of our common stock based on the achievement of two specified performance conditions if the executive officer remains continuously employed through the end of the three-year performance period. One target is based on our annual average growth in our EPS over the performance period and the other target is based on EPS growth over the performance period compared to our peers. The payout or settlement of the PSUs will be made in shares of our common stock.
We expect to continue to grant these types of awards annually in the future. The following table sets forth the number of outstanding restricted stock awards and RSUs and PSUs, net of forfeitures and vested shares, as of the fiscal period-end dates indicated:

All restricted shares, RSUs and PSUs awarded that have not yet vested are considered when computing diluted earnings per share.
During the fiscal 2023 nine-month period, we purchased and retired 598,000 shares of our common stock (at an average price of $15.63 per share) under the $20 million share repurchase authorization approved by our board of directors in the second quarter. These repurchases reduced our total outstanding shares and, consequently, reduced the weighted outstanding shares used in our calculation of earnings per share for the fiscal 2023 third quarter and year-to-date periods shown below.

13. Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million for the fiscal 2023 third quarter compared to income tax benefit of $403,000 for the comparable prior year quarter. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2023 and 2022 third quarters were 21.6% and 24.8%, respectively. For the fiscal 2023 nine-month period, we recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million, compared to $4.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2023 and 2022 nine-month periods were both 22.5%.
No material and non-routine positions have been identified that are uncertain tax positions.
Tax years ending February 3, 2019 through January 30, 2022 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
14. Segment Information
As a public entity, we are required to present disaggregated information by segment using the management approach. The objective of this approach is to allow users of our financial statements to see our business through the eyes of management based upon the way management reviews performance and makes decisions. The management approach requires segment information to be reported based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of the company’s business units or segments. The objective of this approach is to meet the basic principles of segment reporting as outlined in ASC 280 Segments (“ASC 280”), which are to allow the users of our financial statements to:
|
■
|
better understand our performance;
|
|
■
|
better assess our prospects for future net cash flows; and
|
|
■
|
make more informed judgments about us as a whole.
|
We define our segments as those operations our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. We measure the results of our segments using, among other measures, each segment’s net sales, gross profit and operating income, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the CODM.
For financial reporting purposes, we are organized into three reportable segments and “All Other”, which includes the remainder of our businesses:
|
■
|
Hooker Branded, consisting of the operations of our imported Hooker Casegoods and Hooker Upholstery businesses;
|
|
■
|
Home Meridian, a business acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2017, is a stand-alone, mostly autonomous business that serves a different type or class of customer than do our other operating segments and at much lower margins;
|
|
■
|
Domestic Upholstery, which includes the domestic upholstery manufacturing operations of Bradington-Young, Sam Moore, Shenandoah Furniture and newly acquired Sunset West; and
|
|
■
|
All Other, consisting of H Contract and Lifestyle Brands. Neither of these operating segments were individually reportable; therefore, we combined them in “All Other” in accordance with ASC 280.
|
Changes to segment reporting for fiscal 2023
We regularly monitor our reportable segments for changes in facts and circumstances to determine whether changes in the identification or aggregation of operating segments are necessary.
Before the fiscal 2023 first quarter, H Contract’s results included sales of seating products sourced from Sam Moore. Due to a change in the way management internally evaluates operating performance, beginning with fiscal 2023 first quarter Sam Moore’s results now include sales of seating products formerly included in H Contract’s results. Fiscal 2022 results discussed below have been recast to reflect this change. The Hooker Branded and Home Meridian segments are unchanged.
As discussed in Note 3 above, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sunset West on the first day of the 2023 fiscal year. Based on our analysis and the requirements of ASC 280: Segment Reporting, Sunset West’s results are included in the Domestic Upholstery segment on a prospective basis.
The following table presents segment information for the periods, and as of the dates, indicated. Prior-year information has been recast to reflect the change discussed above.
