**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

In addition to historical information, this document contains "forward-looking statements" – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition. These statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• projections of sales or comparable store sales, gross profit, SG&A expenses, capital expenditures or other financial measures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• descriptions of anticipated plans or objectives of our management for operations or products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forecasts of performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated impact on our business of macro-economic conditions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assumptions regarding any of the foregoing.

Because these statements involve anticipated events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "target," "can," "could," "may," "should," "will," "would," or similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements are based upon assessments and assumptions of management in light of historical results and trends, current conditions and potential future developments that often involve judgment, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about our plans, strategies and prospects, which are based on information currently available.

Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are not guarantees. Actual results may differ materially from our anticipated results described or implied in our forward-looking statements, and such differences may be due to a variety of factors. Our business could also be affected by additional factors that are presently unknown to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial to our business. Important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, the following items, in addition to those matters described in Risk Factors and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Competition from national, regional and local retailers of home furnishings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our failure to anticipate changes in consumer preferences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Importing a substantial portion of our merchandise from foreign sources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Significant fluctuations and volatility in the cost of raw materials and components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our dependence on third-party producers to meet our requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A failure by our vendors to meet our quality control standards or comply with changes to the legislative or regulatory framework regarding product safety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks in our supply chain;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effects of labor disruptions or labor shortages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The rise of oil and gasoline prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased transportation costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Damage to one of our distribution centers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The vulnerability of our information technology infrastructure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in general domestic and international economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, tax rates, unemployment rates, higher labor and healthcare costs, recessions, and changing government policies, laws and regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Discussed elsewhere in further detail in this report are some important risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any forward-looking statements made or implied in this report.

Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made and they might not be updated to reflect changes as they occur after the forward-looking statements are made. We assume no obligations to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in our other reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and you should not place undue reliance on those statements.

We intend for any forward-looking statements to be covered by, and we claim the protection under, the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

Unless otherwise indicated by the context, we use the terms "Havertys," "we," "our," or "us" when referring to the consolidated operations of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. and subsidiary.

**Overview**

Havertys is a specialty retailer of residential furniture and accessories. Our founder, J.J. Haverty began the business in 1885 in Atlanta, Georgia with one store and made deliveries using horse-drawn wagons. The Company grew to 18 stores and was incorporated in September 1929. Anticipating further growth, the Company accessed additional capital through its initial public offering in October 1929.

Havertys has grown to over 120 stores in 16 states in the Southern and Midwest regions. All of our retail locations are operated using the Havertys name, and we do not franchise our stores. Our brand recognition is very high in the markets we serve, and consumer surveys indicate Havertys is associated with a high level of quality, fashion, value, and service.

**Customers**

Havertys customers are typically well-educated women in middle to upper-to-middle income households. They generally own homes in the suburbs, and their diverse personalities are reflected in their unique sense of style. These consumers research and shop online and in-store, often engaging friends or family members in the purchasing process. They are discerning buyers, desiring furnishings that fit their style, but never sacrificing quality. Our marketing, merchandising, stores, online presence, and customer service are targeted to attract and meet the needs of our distinctive customers.

**Merchandise and Revenues**

We develop our merchandise selection with the diverse taste of our typical "on trend" customer in mind. A wide range of styles from traditional to contemporary are in our core assortment, and virtually all of the furniture merchandise we carry bears the Havertys brand. We also tailor our product offerings to the needs and tastes of the local markets we serve, emphasizing more "coastal," "western" or "urban" looks as appropriate. Our custom upholstery programs and eclectic looks are an important part of our product mix and allow the on-trend consumer more self-expression.

We have avoided offering lower quality, promotional price-driven merchandise favored by many regional and national chains, which we believe would devalue the Havertys brand with the consumer. We carry nationally well-known mattress product lines such as Tempur-Pedic®, Serta®, Sealy® and Stearns and Foster®.

Our customers use varying methods to purchase or finance their sales. As an added convenience to our customers, we offer financing by third-party finance companies. Sales financed by the third-party providers are not Havertys' receivables; accordingly, we do not have any credit risk or servicing responsibility for these accounts, and there is no credit or collection recourse to Havertys. Slightly less than one-third of our sales are third-party-financed. The fees we pay to the third parties are included in our selling, general, and expenses ("SG&A") as a selling expense.

We have a seasoned, commissioned-based sales team serving our customers. Their product knowledge is important in assisting customers in evaluating Havertys' merchandise as compared to our competitors. We also offer a free in-home design service to those customers seeking a more in-depth personalized shopping experience. The average sales ticket for a customer that has a designer visit their home is generally twice that of our average in-store sales ticket. Approximately 24.7% of our business in 2022 resulted from consultations with our in-home designers.

**Stores**

As of December 31, 2022, we operated 122 stores serving 85 cities in 16 states with approximately 4.4 million retail square feet. Our stores range in size from 15,000 to 60,000 selling square feet, with the average being approximately 35,000 square feet. We strive to have our stores reflect the distinctive style and comfort consumers expect to find when purchasing their home furnishings. The store's location and curb appeal are important to the middle to upper-middle income consumer that we target, and attractive facades complement the quality and style of our merchandise. Interior details are also important for a pleasant and inviting shopping experience. We are very intentional in having open shopping spaces and our disciplined merchandise display ensures uniformity of presentations in-store, online and in our advertising.

Our goal, subject to market conditions and identifying suitable sites, is to open five new stores per year and expect an approximate 2.2% increase in our retail square footage in 2023. We are evaluating various "big box" former retail sites in the 30,000 to 32,000 square feet size range and other new locations for expansion. We currently have no plans to add stores outside our distribution footprint.

**Online Presence**

We consider our website an extension of our brick-and-mortar locations and not a separate segment of our business. Most customers will use the internet for inspiration and as a start to their shopping process to view products and prices. Our website features a variety of helpful tools including a design center with a 3-D room planner, upholstery customization, and inspired accessories.A large number of product reviews written by our customers are also provided, which some consumers find important in the decision-making process.

The next stop in the purchase journey for most consumers is a visit to a store to touch, sit, and see merchandise in person. Our sales consultants also use online tools to further engage our customers while they are in the store. Customers may make their purchase in the store or opt to return home and finalize their decisions, place their orders online and set delivery. We limit internet sales of our furniture to within our delivery network, and internet sales of our accessories to within the continental United States. Our total sales completed online for 2022 were approximately 3.8% of our total 2022 sales. This level of sales makes our website our highest performing "store."

We made significant investments in our website during 2022. The new design and enhancements were launched in the fourth quarter and include better search functionality, improved navigation, enriched product pages, and faster site speed. We also implemented a new content management system, AI driven automation, and improved site reporting to gain insight around customer pathing and content effectiveness.

We believe offering a direct-to-customer business complements our retail store operations as we serve the customer in the method of their choosing and leverage the power of high-touch service and online capabilities.

**Suppliers and Supply Chain**

We buy our merchandise from numerous foreign and domestic manufacturers and importers, the largest ten of which accounted for approximately 41.3% of our product purchases during 2022. Most of our wood products, or "case goods," are imported from Asia. Upholstered items are largely produced domestically, with the exception of our leather products which are primarily imported from Asia or Mexico.

We purchase our furniture merchandise produced in Asia through sourcing companies and also buy direct from manufacturers. We have dedicated quality control specialists on-site during production to ensure the items meet our specifications. Our direct import team works with industry designers and manufacturers in some of the best factories throughout Asia. Approximately 20.2% of our case goods sales and 9.2% of our upholstery sales in 2022 were generated by our direct imports.

The longer lead times required for deliveries from overseas factories and the production of merchandise exclusively for Havertys makes it imperative for us to have both warehousing capabilities and end-to-end supply chain visibility. Our merchandising team provides input to the automated procurement process in an effort to maintain overall inventory levels within an appropriate range and reduce the number of written sales awaiting

product delivery. We use real-time information to closely follow our import orders from the manufacturing plant through each stage of transit and using this data can more accurately set customer delivery dates prior to receipt of product.

Manufacturers were challenged by raw material and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Product manufactured in Asia was also impacted by shipping capacity challenges. Each of these factors, in addition to others, led to significantly constrained and delayed supply chains in the home furnishings industry which began to abate during 2022. In the second half of 2022, we experienced a return to more predictable lead times from most of our suppliers.

**Distribution**

We believe that our distribution and delivery system is one of the best in the retail furniture industry and provides us with a significant competitive advantage. Our distribution system uses a combination of three distribution centers ("DCs") and four home delivery centers ("HDCs"). The DCs receive both domestic product and containers of imported merchandise. A warehousing management system, using radio frequency scanners, tracks each piece of inventory in real time and allows for random storage in the warehouse and efficient scheduling and changing of the workflow. The DCs are also designed to shuttle prepped merchandise up to 250 miles for next-day home deliveries and serve HDCs within a 500-mile radius. The HDCs provide service to markets within an additional 250 miles. We had announced the conversion of our Virginia HDC to a DC during 2022 but given the dramatic construction cost increases e have deferred that project. We use third parties to handle over-the-road delivery of product from the DCs to the HDCs and market areas. We use Havertys team members for executing home delivery, and have branded this service "Top Drawer Delivery," an important function serving as the last contact with our customers in the purchase process. Operating standards in our warehouse and delivery functions provide measurements for determining staffing needs and increasing productivity.

![hvt-20221231_g1.jpg](hvt-20221231_g1.jpg)

On the whole, our staffing, delivery capacity, and vendor response times returned to their pre-pandemic levels during 2022. Time between purchase and delivery averages 3 to 5 days for in-stock items and 5 to 7 weeks for special order items.

**Human Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2022, Havertys' total workforce was 2,831: 1,599 in our retail store operations, 990 in our warehouse and delivery points, 179 in our corporate operations, and 63 in our customer-service call centers. None of our team members is a party to a union contract.

*Health and Safety*

We care about our teammates, customers, and the communities we serve. We believe a hazard-free environment is a critical enabler for the success of our business. We have a strong safety program that focuses on implementing policies and training programs to ensure our team members can leave their job and return home safely every day.

*Diversity*

Integrity and teamwork are two of our core values. These drive our approach in our everyday operations with our customers, suppliers and teammates and we believe that the best results happen when we work together. At Havertys, we see strength in America's many faces, cultures, and colors. Each person offers a unique point of view and presents a fresh perspective. We are committed to diverse representation across all levels of our workforce to reflect the vibrant and thriving diversity of the communities in which we live and work.

*Retention and Development*

Our compensation programs are designed to attract, retain, and motivate team members to achieve superior results. Havertys' total compensation for teammates comprises a variety of components, including competitive pay consistent with positions, skill levels, experience, and knowledge. We also offer competitive benefits, including access to healthcare plans, financial and physical wellness programs, paid time off, parental leave and retirement benefits.

We periodically conduct an Employee Engagement Survey (the "Survey") as a means of measuring employee engagement and satisfaction, and offering employees the chance to feel heard.

We are committed to supporting our teammates' continuous development of professional, technical and leadership skills through corporate training programs, access to digital learning resources and through partnerships with local technical learning institutions. In 2022, Havertys team members consumed approximately 123,000 hours of learning. We also offer the opportunity for team members to pursue degree programs, professional certificates, and individual courses in strategic fields of study through our tuition reimbursement program.

**Competition**

The retail sale of home furnishings is a highly fragmented and competitive business. There has been growth in the e-commerce channel both from internet only retailers, from start-up furniture retailers and larger more established retailers, and those with a brick-and-mortar presence. The degree and sources of brick-and-mortar retail competition varies by geographic area. We compete with numerous individual retail furniture stores as well as national and regional chains. Retail stores opened or operated by furniture manufacturers in an effort to control and protect the distribution prospects of their branded merchandise compete with us in certain markets. Mass merchants, certain department stores, and some electronics and appliance retailers also have limited furniture product offerings.

We believe Havertys is uniquely positioned in the marketplace, with a targeted mix of merchandise that appeals to customers who are somewhat more affluent than those of promotional price-oriented furniture stores. Our online presence provides most elements of a seamless, omni-channel approach that many of our competitors do not have or cannot replicate. We consider the expansion of our custom order capabilities, free in-home design service, the tailoring of merchandise on a local market basis, and the ability to make prompt delivery of orders through maintenance of inventory to be significant competitive advantages.

**Seasonality**

Our business is affected by traditional retail seasonality, advertising and promotion programs, and general economic trends. We historically achieve our smallest quarter by revenues in the second quarter and the largest in the fourth quarter. The "nesting" response generated by COVID-19 created outsized demand beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and, when combined with the strong housing market contributed to the strong sales levels we experienced through 2021. During 2022, our business began reverting to its more historical patterns, with a return to increased shopping on weekends and during traditional extended holiday periods.

**Trademarks and Domain Names**

We have registered our various logos, trademarks and service marks. We believe that our trademark position is adequately protected in all markets in which we do business. In addition, we have registered and maintain numerous internet domain names including "havertys.com." Collectively, the logos, trademarks, service marks and domain names that we hold are of material importance to us.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding any statement in this annual report on Form 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" (MD&A), and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this annual report on Form 10-K.

We routinely encounter and address risks, some of which may cause our future results to be different – sometimes materially different – than we presently anticipate. The following factors, as well as others described elsewhere in this report or in our other filings with the SEC, that could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results should be carefully considered. Below, we describe certain important operational and strategic risks and uncertainties, but they are not the only risks we face. Our reactions to material future developments, as well as our competitors' reactions to those developments, may also impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results may be adversely affected.

***<u>Risks Related to Our Business</u>***

**We face significant competition from national, regional and local retailers of home furnishings.**

The retail market for home furnishings is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. We currently compete against a diverse group of retailers, including internet-only retailers, regional or independent specialty stores, dedicated franchises of furniture manufacturers and national department stores. In addition, there are few barriers to entry into our current and contemplated markets, and new competitors may enter our current or future markets at any time. Our existing competitors or new entrants into our industry may use a number of different strategies to compete against us, including aggressive advertising, pricing and marketing, social media

<u>[Table of Con](#i8482f13d92e04c8a997cb0a89c04b621_7)[tents](#i8482f13d92e04c8a997cb0a89c04b621_7)</u>

campaigns and extension of credit to customers on terms more favorable than we offer. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater financial resources and larger customer bases than we have, and as a result may have a more advanced multichannel platform, be able to adapt quicker to changes in consumer behavior, have attractive customer loyalty programs, and maintain higher profitability in an aggressive low-pricing environment. Rapidly evolving technologies are altering the manner in which retailers communicate and transact with customers, led by internet-based and multichannel retailers that have made significant investments in recent years, including with pricing technology and shipping capabilities.

Competition from any of these sources could cause us to lose market share, revenues and customers; increase expenditures; or reduce prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

**If we fail to successfully anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences in a timely manner, our sales may decline.**

Our products must appeal to our target consumers whose preferences, tastes and trends cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to change. We continuously monitor changes in home design trends through attendance at international industry events and fashion shows, internal marketing research, and regular communication with our retailers and design professionals who provide valuable input on consumer tendencies. However, as with all retailers, our business is susceptible to changes in consumer tastes and trends. Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to fashion trends relating to home furnishings. If we fail to successfully identify and respond to these changes, our sales may decline.

**Our future success is largely dependent on our ability to successfully implement our growth and other strategies.**

Our future success, including our ability to achieve growth and increased profitability, is dependent on the ability of our management team to execute on our long-term business strategy, which includes increasing our retail footprint, expanding our online presence, increasing the efficiency and profitability of our operations, introducing new products in the marketplace and driving increased traffic to our retail stores and e-commerce site through updated marketing efforts. If any of these initiatives are not successful, or require extensive investment, our growth may be limited, and we may be unable to achieve or maintain expected levels of growth and profitability. Furthermore, our ability to expand our retail footprint is dependent on our ability to identify, secure and develop new retail locations, which involves factors outside of our control.

**We import a substantial portion of our merchandise from foreign sources. This exposes us to certain risks that include political and economic conditions. Changes in exchange rates or tariffs could impact the price we pay for these goods, resulting in potentially higher retail prices and/or lower gross profit on these goods.**

Based on product costs, approximately 77% of our total furniture purchases (which exclude accessories and mattresses) in 2022 were for goods that were not produced domestically. All our purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. As exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and certain other currencies become unfavorable, the likelihood of price increases from our vendors increases. Some of the products we purchase are also subject to tariffs. If tariffs are imposed on additional products or the tariff rates are increased, our vendors may increase their prices. Such changes, if they occur, could have one or more of the following impacts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we could be forced to raise retail prices so high that we are unable to sell the products at current unit volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we are unable to raise retail prices commensurately with the cost increases, gross profit as recognized under our LIFO inventory accounting method could be negatively impacted; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be forced to find alternative sources of comparable product, which may be more expensive than the current product or of lower quality, or the vendor may be unable to meet our requirements for quality, quantities, delivery schedules or other key terms.

**We are dependent upon the ability of our third-party producers to meet our requirements; any failures by these producers, or the unavailability of suitable suppliers at reasonable prices or limitations on our ability to source from third-party producers may negatively impact our ability to deliver quality merchandise to our customers on a timely basis or result in higher costs or reduced net sales.**

We source substantially all of our products from non-exclusive, third-party producers, many of which are located in foreign countries. Although we have long-term relationships with many of our suppliers, we must compete with other companies for the production capacity of these independent manufacturers. We regularly depend upon the ability of third-party producers to secure a sufficient supply of raw materials, develop a skilled workforce, adequately finance the production of goods ordered and maintain sufficient manufacturing and shipping capacity. Although we monitor production and quality in many third-party manufacturing locations, we cannot be certain that we will not experience operational difficulties with our manufacturers, such as the reduction of availability of production capacity, errors in complying with product specifications, insufficient quality control, failures to meet production deadlines or increases in manufacturing costs. Such difficulties may negatively impact our ability to deliver quality products to our customers on a timely basis, which may, in turn, have a negative impact on our customer relationships and result in lower net sales.

We also require third-party producers to meet certain standards in terms of working conditions, environmental protection and other matters before placing business with them. As a result of costs relating to compliance with these standards, we may pay higher prices than some of our competitors for products. In addition, failure by our independent manufacturers to adhere to ethical labor or other laws or business practices, and the potential litigation, negative publicity and political pressure relating to any of these events, could disrupt our operations or harm our reputation.

**Our vendors might fail in meeting our quality control standards or reacting to changes to the legislative or regulatory framework regarding product safety.**

All of our vendors must comply with applicable product safety laws and regulations, and we are dependent on them to ensure that the products we buy comply with all safety standards. Any actual, potential or perceived product safety concerns could expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation and could result in recalls and other liabilities. Such exposure could harm our brand's image and negatively affect our business and operating results.

**Significant fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and components could adversely affect our profits.**

The primary materials our vendors use to produce and manufacture our products are various woods and wood products, resin, steel, leather, cotton, and certain oil-based products. On a global and regional basis, the sources and prices of those materials and components are susceptible to significant price fluctuations due to supply/demand trends, transportation costs, government regulations and tariffs, changes in currency exchange rates, price controls, the economic and political climate, and other unforeseen circumstances. While the global supply chain challenges experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lessened in 2022, there can be no assurance that further challenges, including shutdowns and shipping delays, will not occur. Such supply chain disruptions could materially adversely impact the ability of our suppliers to fulfil our orders in a timely manner, if at all, and could lead to increased prices, which we may not be able to pass through to our customers.

**Our revenue can be adversely affected by our ability to successfully forecast our supply chain needs and our foreign manufacturers' ability to comply with international trade rules and regulations.**

Optimal product flow is dependent on demand planning and forecasting, supplier production according to such planning, and timely transportation. We often make commitments to purchase products from our vendors in advance of proposed production dates. Significant deviation from the projected demand for products that we sell may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, either from lost sales or lower margins resulting from inventory-driven price reductions. Disruptions to our supply chain could result in

late product arrivals. Increased levels of out-of-stock merchandise and loss of confidence by customers in our ability to deliver goods as promised could negatively affect sales.

In addition, there is a risk that compliance lapses by our foreign manufacturers could occur which could lead to investigations by U.S. government agencies responsible for international trade compliance. Resulting penalties or enforcement actions could delay future imports or otherwise negatively impact our business. There also remains a risk that one or more of our foreign manufacturers will not adhere to applicable legal requirements or our compliance standards such as fair labor standards, the prohibition on child labor and other product safety or manufacturing safety standards. The violation of applicable legal requirements, including labor, manufacturing and safety laws, by any of our manufacturers, the failure of any of our manufacturers to adhere to our global compliance standards or the divergence of the labor practices followed by any of our manufacturers from those generally accepted in the U.S. could disrupt our supply of products from our manufacturers, could result in potential liability to us or could harm our reputation and brand, any of which could negatively affect our business and operating results.

**Because of our limited number of distribution centers, our operating results could suffer if one is damaged.**

We utilize three large distribution centers to flow our merchandise from the vendor to the consumer. This system is very efficient for reducing inventory requirements but makes us operationally vulnerable should one of these facilities become damaged or experience significant business interruption. If such an interruption were to occur, our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner would likely be impacted.

**We rely extensively on information technology systems to process transactions, summarize results, and manage our business. Disruptions in our information technology systems could adversely affect our business and operating results.**

Our ability to operate our business from day to day, in particular our ability to manage our point-of-sale, distribution system and payment information, largely depends on the efficient operation of our computer hardware and software systems. We use management information systems to communicate customer information, provide real-time inventory information, and to handle all facets of our distribution system from receipt of goods in the DCs to delivery to our customers' homes. These systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, viruses, phishing attempts, cyber-attacks, malware and ransomware attacks, security breaches, severe weather, natural disasters, and errors by employees.

The failure of these systems to operate effectively, problems with integrating various data sources, challenges in transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, difficulty in integrating new systems, or a breach in security of these systems could adversely impact the operations of our business. Though losses arising from some of these issues would be covered by insurance, interruptions of our critical business information technology systems or failure of our back-up systems could result in longer production times or negatively impact customers resulting in damage to our reputation and a reduction in sales. If our critical information technology systems or back-up systems were damaged or ceased to function properly, we might have to make a significant investment to repair or replace them.

**Successful cyber-attacks and the failure to maintain adequate cyber-security systems and procedures could materially harm our business.**

Cyber threats are rapidly evolving, and those threats and the means for obtaining access to information in digital and other storage media are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Cyber threats and cyber-attackers, including ransomware attacks, can be sponsored by countries or sophisticated criminal organizations or be the work of single "hackers" or small groups of "hackers."

We invest in industry standard security technology to protect the Company's data and business processes against risk of data security breach and cyber-attack. Our data security management program includes identity, trust, vulnerability and threat management business processes as well as adoption of standard data protection policies. We measure our data security effectiveness through industry accepted methods. We are continuously

installing new and upgrading existing information technology systems. We use employee awareness training around phishing, malware, and other cyber risks to ensure that the Company is protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. We are regularly the target of attempted cyber and other security threats and must continuously monitor and develop our information technology networks and infrastructure to prevent, detect, address and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses and other events that could have a security impact. Insider or employee cyber and security threats are increasingly a concern for all companies, including ours. Additionally, we certify our major technology suppliers and any outsourced services through accepted security certification standards.

Nevertheless, as cyber threats evolve, change and become more difficult to detect and successfully defend against, one or more cyber-attacks might defeat our or a third-party service provider's security measures in the future and could result in the leak of personal information of customers, employees or business partners. Employee error or other irregularities may also result in a failure of our security measures and a breach of information systems. Moreover, hardware, software or applications we use may have inherent defects of design, manufacture or operations or could be inadvertently or intentionally implemented or used in a manner that could compromise information security. A security breach and loss of information may not be discovered for a significant period of time after it occurs. While we have no knowledge of a material security breach to date, any compromise of data security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws or standards, the loss of valuable business data, or a disruption of our business. In addition, the costs to eliminate or alleviate network security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in potential theft, loss, destruction or corruption of information we store electronically, as well as unexpected interruptions, delays or cessation of service, any of which could cause harm to our business operations. Moreover, a security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage our customer relationships and reputation, and result in litigation or fines, fees, or potential liabilities, which may not be covered by our insurance policies, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

**Our business is dependent on certain key personnel; if we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.**

The success of our business depends upon our ability to retain continued service of certain key personnel, and to attract and retain additional qualified key personnel in the future. We face risks related to loss of any key personnel and we also face risks related to any changes that may occur in key senior leadership executive positions. Any disruption in the services of our key personnel could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and achieve our business goals and could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition. These changes could also increase the volatility of our stock price.

Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the retail industry is intense and we may be unable to retain personnel that are important to our business or hire additional qualified personnel. The process of identifying personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our goals is often lengthy. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified management, marketing and sales personnel, and store managers, and upon the continued contributions of these people. In addition, our operations require the services of qualified and experienced management personnel, with expertise in areas including information technology, merchandising, and supply chain management. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified executives and personnel.

Furthermore, a significant portion of our success depends in part upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of store and other employees who understand and appreciate our corporate culture and customers. Turnover in the retail industry is generally high. Excessive employee turnover will result in higher employee costs associated with finding, hiring and training new store employees. If we are unable to hire and retain store and other personnel capable of consistently providing a high level of customer service, our ability to open new stores and service the needs of our customers may be impaired, the performance of our existing and new stores and operations could be materially adversely affected and our brand image may be negatively impacted.

***<u>General Risks</u>***

**An overall decline in the health of the economy and consumer spending may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items, which could reduce demand for our products and materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.**

Our business depends on consumer demand for our products and, consequently, is sensitive to a number of factors that influence general consumer spending on discretionary items in particular. Factors influencing consumer spending include general economic conditions, consumer disposable income, fuel prices, inflation, recession and fears of recession, unemployment, inclement weather, availability of consumer credit, consumer debt levels, conditions in the housing market, interest rates, sales tax rates and rate increases, sustained periods of inflation, civil disturbances and terrorist activities, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, consumer confidence in future economic and political conditions, natural disasters, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security, including health epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged or pervasive economic downturns could slow the pace of new store openings or cause current stores to temporarily or permanently close. Adverse changes in factors affecting discretionary consumer spending have reduced and may continue to further reduce consumer demand for our products, thus reducing our sales and harming our business and operating results.

Historically, because customers consider home furnishings to be postponable purchases, the home furnishings industry has been subject to cyclical variations in the general economy and to uncertainty regarding future economic prospects.

**The rise of oil and gasoline prices could affect our profitability.**

A significant increase in oil and gasoline prices could adversely affect our profitability. In addition, governmental efforts to combat climate change through reduction of greenhouse gases may result in higher fuel costs through taxation or other means. We deliver substantially all of our customers' purchases to their homes. Our distribution system, which utilizes three DCs and multiple home delivery centers is very transportation dependent to reach the 22 states we deliver to from our stores across 16 Southern and Midwestern states. If transportation costs exceed amounts we are able to effectively pass on to the consumer, either by higher prices and/or higher delivery charges, then our profitability will suffer.

**The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its contributory effects on the economy or new health related emergencies could adversely impact our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations.** 

While the level of disruption caused by, and the economic impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic lessened in 2022, there is no assurance that the pandemic will not worsen again, included as a result of the emergence of new strains of the virus, or another health related emergency will not emerge. Any worsening of the pandemic, a new health related emergency and their effects on the economy could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**ESG risks could adversely affect our reputation and shareholder, employee, customer and third party relationships and may negatively affect our stock price.**

Businesses face increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") activities. We risk damage to our brand and reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of areas, such as environmental stewardship, including with respect to climate change, human capital management, support for our local communities, corporate governance and transparency, or fail to consider ESG factors in our business operations.

Additionally, investors and shareholder advocates are placing ever increasing emphasis on how corporations address ESG issues in their business strategy when making investment decisions and when developing their investment theses and proxy recommendations. We may incur meaningful costs with respect to our ESG efforts and if such efforts are negatively perceived, our reputation and stock price may suffer.

**Stockholders**

Based on the number of individual participants represented by security position listings, there are approximately 12,300 holders of our common stock and 200 holders of our Class A common stock as of February 23, 2023.

**Dividends**

We have historically paid and expect to continue to pay for the foreseeable future, quarterly cash dividends on our Common Stock and Class A Common Stock. The payment of dividends and the amount are determined by the Board of Directors and depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, operations, financial condition, capital requirements and general business outlook at the time such dividends are considered. We have paid a cash dividend in each year since 1935. Our credit agreement includes covenants that may restrict our ability to pay dividends. For more information, see Note 5, "Credit Arrangement," and Note 9, "Stockholders' Equity," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Equity Compensation Plans**

For information regarding securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans, see Part III, Item 12, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters."

**Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

The board of directors has authorized management, at its discretion, to purchase and retire limited amounts of our Common Stock and Class A Common Stock. A program was initially approved by the board on November 3, 1986 and the board has subsequently authorized additional amounts for repurchase. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date but may be terminated by our board at any time.

We did not make any repurchases of Havertys' common stock during the fourth quarter of 2022. We made cash payments of approximately $30.0 million for repurchases of approximately 1.1 million shares of our Common Stock through open market purchases during 2022. There is approximately $20.0 million at December 31, 2022 that may yet be purchased under the existing authorization.

**ITEM 6. RESERVED**

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Overview**

***Industry***

The retail residential furniture industry's results are influenced by the overall strength of the economy, new and existing housing sales, consumer confidence, spending on large ticket items, interest rates, and availability of credit. These factors remain tempered by impediments to industry growth, such as inflation, higher interest rates, rising consumer debt, home inventory constraints, and tight access to home mortgage credit.

***Our Business***

We sell home furnishings in our retail stores and via our website and record revenue when the products are delivered to our customer. Our products are selected to appeal to a middle to upper-middle income consumer across a variety of styles. Our commissioned sales team members receive a high level of product training and are provided a number of tools with which to serve our customers. We also have over 110 in-home designers serving most of our stores. These individuals work with our sales team members to provide customers

additional confidence and inspiration in their furniture purchase journey. We do not outsource the delivery function, something common in the industry, but instead ensure that the "last contact" is handled by a customer-oriented Havertys delivery team. We are recognized as a provider of high-quality fashionable products and exceptional service in the markets we serve.

***Management Objectives***

Management is focused on capturing more market share and increasing sales per square foot of showroom space. This growth will be driven by concentrating our efforts on our customers, with improved interactions highlighted by new products, high-touch service and better technology. In addition, our growth strategy includes the expansion of our retail operations to increase our footprint within our distribution network. The Company's strategies for profitability include gross margin focus, targeted marketing initiatives, productivity and process improvements, and efficiency and cost-saving measures. Our focus is to serve our customers better and distinguish ourselves in the marketplace.

***Key Performance Indicators***

We evaluate our performance based on several key metrics which include net sales, comparable store sales and written comparable store sales; sales per weighted average square foot; gross profit, selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of sales; operating income; cash flow; and earnings per share. The goal of utilizing these measurements is to provide tools for economic decision-making, including decisions related to store growth, capital allocation and product pricing.

Net sales is the revenue from merchandise sales and related fees, net of expected returns and sales tax. We record our sales when the merchandise is delivered to the customer.

Comparable-store or "comp-store" sales is a measure which indicates the performance of our existing stores and website by comparing the growth in sales in store and online for a particular month over the corresponding month in the prior year. Stores are considered non-comparable if they were not open during the corresponding month in the prior year or if the selling square footage has been changed by more than 10%. Large clearance sales events from warehouses or temporary locations are also excluded from comparable store sales. The method we use to compute comp-store sales may not be the same method used by other retailers.

We also track written sales and written comp-store sales. Written sales reflect those instances when a customer makes a deposit or pays in full when placing an order. Written sales shows the current pace or trend of customer transactions. The lag time between customers' order placement and delivery grew in 2020 and remained high during 2021 and continued through mid-2022 due to disruptions in supply chain and demand that outpaced merchandise supply. As a retailer, comp-store sales and written comp-store sales are an indicator of relative customer spending and store performance. Comp-store sales, total written sales and written comp-store sales are intended only as supplemental information and are not a substitute for net sales presented in accordance with US GAAP.

Sales per weighted average ("WAVG") square foot is calculated by dividing net sales by WAVG square footage. WAVG square footage is a daily WAVG based on the ratio of the days open in a period to the total days in the period.

Sales in 2022 set new records, with each quarter exceeding the comparable prior period quarter. We restored our normal operating level of inventory as supply chain issues abated in the second half of the year. This trend benefited our net sales, as we were able to deliver both new and previously written orders (or "backlog") during this period, which offset the slowing pace of new written orders. Consumers have returned to their historical shopping patterns of concentrating spending around traditional holiday events. We have had declines in in-store traffic particularly outside these peak periods. Our written business was down 8.8% compared to the extraordinary pace set in 2021. Our sales associates and design consultants are providing excellent service to each customer, and average ticket value was up 10.7% over last year. Design consultant engagement increased in 2022 and accounted for 24.% of our 2022 business, with an average ticket of $5,990. Merchandise sales for most categories have returned to their historical percentages of total sales, with the exception of mattresses. (See Note 2, "Revenues and Segment Reporting" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Sales in 2021 set a record pace as furniture demand remained strong despite ongoing COVID-19 concerns and supply chain challenges. The comparisons to 2020 reflect the impact of our store closures in mid-March and re-opening on May 1, 2020, and the surge in business that followed. In response to increasing product and freight costs, we raised our retail prices. The impact of the supply chain disruptions is reflected in our sales by merchandise category. Our mattress and bedroom furniture sales were particularly affected by such supply chain disruptions. Sales of upholstery in 2021 increased 37.3% as a result of our upholstery suppliers making good strides towards meeting demand with increased production. Sales in this category increased 60 basis points as a percent of total sales over 2020 levels. COVID-19 concerns continued to affect sales generated by our in-home designers in 2021, and such sales, as a percent of our total sales remained at the 2020 level of 22.8% for 2021.

Our ability to deliver customer orders improved in 2021 compared to 2020 but was still longer than pre-pandemic time frames. Manufacturers began to recover from raw material shortages but were still challenged by labor shortages and disruptions in transportation logistics. Our warehouse and delivery operations adjusted due to personnel shortages. Due to staffing constraints, time between purchase and delivery lengthened from our pre-pandemic average of 3 to 5 days for in-stock items to 1 to 2 weeks. We added additional team members and during the last quarter of 2021, purchases of in-stock product were generally delivered within 3 to 5 days. The disruptions to our supply chain resulted in lower inventory, and for out-of-stock merchandise, delivery times ran 8 to 12 weeks. Our vendor partners for special order products continued to experience delays with delivery of these orders averaging 12 to 20 weeks.

Sales in 2020 were impacted by COVID-19. Our written sales suffered during the first weeks of March as information and news coverage concerning the pandemic increased. We closed our stores and paused operations mid-March. We enacted our business continuity plan in April which anticipated continued low levels of sales. Most stores reopened on May 1 with approximately 76% of their original staff, store hours were reduced 17%, and delivery capacity was also reduced. Our business was very strong upon reopening; total

written sales for the two months ended June 30, 2020 were up 13.9%; and written comparable store sales were up 17.5% compared to the same two-month period in 2019. Our written sales remained strong during the third quarter of 2020, with total written sales up 22.8% and written comparable store sales up 22.6% over the same period in 2019. Our written sales in the fourth quarter were up 16.7%, and written comp-store sales rose 17.5%.

Our delivery capacity in 2020 was intentionally reduced as part of our business continuity plan. Deliveries resumed on May 5, 2020, with reduced personnel and capacity and total sales from May 5 through June 30, 2020 were down 13.4% compared with the same period of 2019. Demand quickly began to outpace supply, and we worked during the third quarter to increase our inventory levels and delivery capacity. We adjusted our operations during the third quarter, adding additional personnel, and worked with our vendors to accelerate orders.

Revenues by product category as a percentage of net sales in 2020 increased over 2019 by 220 basis points in upholstery sales and by 60 basis points in home office due to "nesting" buying, and our mattress business declined 160 basis points due to supply-chain disruption caused by COVID-19. Our in-home designer sales were hampered during 2020 but were 22.8% of our total sales compared to 25.3% in 2019. Total sales for 2020 decreased $54.0 million, or 6.7% compared to 2019. Our comp-store sales, which includes online sales, increased 5.0%, or $32.7 million, in 2020 compared to 2019. The remaining $86.8 million of the change was primarily from our store closures in March through April and from new, closed and otherwise non-comparable stores.

*2023 Outlook*

We cannot predict the impact of inflation, rising interest rates, market volatility, and geopolitical concerns on consumer spending on home furnishings. We believe we benefit from our footprint that covers many of the fastest-growing markets in the country. In addition, we have improved our customers' online experience and continue to deploy targeted marketing efforts. We believe that our existing stores are well-positioned in their respective markets and plan to open additional locations during the year. We believe that our offerings of on-trend merchandise, knowledgeable salespeople, free in-home design service, and special-order capabilities help make us a market leader in the residential furniture industry and will continue to strengthen our business in the year ahead.

**Gross Profit**

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the purchase price of the merchandise together with inbound freight, handling within our distribution centers and transportation costs to the local markets we serve. Our gross profit is primarily dependent upon vendor pricing, the mix of products sold and promotional pricing activity. Substantially all of our occupancy and home delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as is a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include some of these expenses in cost of goods sold.

*Year-to-Year Comparisons*

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 57.7% in 2022 compared to 56.7% in 2021. The increase of 100 basis points was primarily due to merchandise price increases and disciplined discounting which offset product cost and freight increases. The use of the LIFO method generated a $10.8 million charge in 2022 versus $12.3 million in 2021.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 56.7% in 2021 compared to 56.0% in 2020. The increase was primarily due to merchandise price increases and disciplined discounting offsetting product cost and freight increases.The use of the LIFO method generated a $12.3 million charge in 2021 versus $0.6 million in 2020, or a negative 110 basis points impact to the total gross profit change.

*2023 Outlook*

Our expectations for 2023 are for annual gross profit margins of approximately 58.0% to 58.5%. This assumes changes in merchandise and freight costs and their impact on the LIFO reserve.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses**

SG&A expenses are comprised of five categories: selling, occupancy, delivery and certain warehousing costs, advertising, and administrative. Selling expenses are primarily comprised of compensation of sales team members and sales support staff, and fees paid to credit card and third-party finance companies. Occupancy costs include rents, depreciation charges, insurance and property taxes, repairs and maintenance expense and utility costs. Delivery costs include personnel, fuel costs, and depreciation and rental charges for rolling stock.

Warehouse costs include supplies, depreciation, and rental charges for equipment. Advertising expenses are primarily media production and space expenditures, direct mail costs, market research expenses and agency fees. Administrative expenses are comprised of compensation costs for store personnel exclusive of sales team members, information systems, executive, accounting, merchandising, advertising, supply chain, real estate and human resource departments.

We classify our SG&A expenses as either variable or fixed and discretionary. Our variable expenses include the costs in the selling and delivery categories and certain warehouse expenses as these amounts will generally move in tandem with our level of sales. The remaining categories and expenses are classified as fixed and discretionary because these costs do not fluctuate with sales.

The following table outlines our SG&A expenses by classification:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2022** | **2021** | **2021** | **2020** | **2020** |

|  | $486298 | 46.4% | $456267 | 45.1% | $377288 | 50.4% |

---

*Year-to-Year Comparisons*

Our SG&A dollars as a percent of sales increased to 46.4% in 2022 from 45.1% in 2021. Advertising expenditures increased approximately $2.3 million. Our selling expenses increased $13.5 million primarily from increased sales commissions, benefits, and third-party financing costs. Our occupancy costs increased $2.7 million due to increases in utilities, state and local taxes, and repairs and maintenance. Warehouse, delivery, and transportation expenses rose $6.9 million from 2021 driven by higher personnel and fuel costs. Administrative expense increased $4.7 million primarily from increased wages and related expense and higher travel costs that were partly offset by lower group health insurance expense.

Our SG&A dollars as a percent of sales decreased to 45.1% in 2021 from 50.4% in 2020. We were able to leverage our fixed and discretionary costs as we achieved record sales throughout the year. We increased our advertising spend $9.5 million in 2021 to $49.3 million. Our occupancy costs increased $3.9 million, driven by greater rent expense - primarily for the distribution facilities in the sale-leaseback in 2020 - and higher utilities and repairs and maintenance that were partly offset by lower depreciation expense. Warehouse and transportation expense rose $10.6 million on higher salaries and benefits, and temporary labor costs and $4.2 million in accessorial and demurrage fees. Administrative expense increased $18.9 million, primarily from increased wages and related costs, higher amortization expense on performance stock awards, and increased incentive compensation costs.

*2023 Outlook*

Fixed and discretionary expenses within SG&A are expected to be in the $292.0 to $295.0 million range for 2023. We anticipate higher costs in 2023 due to rising inflationary pressures and additional costs associated with new stores. Fixed and discretionary expenses are expected to be at similar quarterly levels in 2022 as in 2021, as adjusted for the overall increases.

Variable costs within SG&A for 2023 are expected to be between 19.5% and 19.7% as a percent of sales. This increase is primarily driven by wage inflation and higher delivery and third-party financing costs.

**Interest (Income) Expense, Net**

We earned $1.4 million more interest income in 2022 than in 2021 due to higher rates.

**Provision for Income Taxes**

Our effective tax rate was 25.2% in 2022, 23.4% in 2021 and 22.9% in 2020. The rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes. The rates in 2022, 2021 and 2020 also benefited from the recognition of state tax credits of $899,000, $481,000 and $1,206,000, respectively. See Note 7, "Income Taxes" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our income taxes.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Year***

At December 31, 2022, we had $123.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $6.8 million in restricted cash equivalents. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our restricted cash equivalents. We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, funds available from our credit agreement, and access to the long-term debt capital markets should be sufficient for our operating requirements and to enable us to fund our capital expenditures, dividend payments, and lease obligations through the next several years. In addition, we believe we have the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $28.0 million in 2023.

***Long-Term Debt***

At December 31, 2022, we had a $80.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with a bank. The Credit Agreement matures October 24, 2027. See Note 5, "Credit Arrangement" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our Credit Agreement.

***Leases***

We use operating leases to fund a portion of our real estate, including our stores, distribution centers, and store support space.

At December 31, 2022, we had aggregate lease obligations of $221.3 million, with $34.4 million payable within 12 months. Aggregate lease obligations include $2.8 million related to leases not yet commenced. See Note 8, "Leases" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our operating leases.

***Share Repurchases***

In August 2022, our Board of Directors authorized additional amounts under a share repurchase program. We made cash payments of $30.0 million for repurchases of 1.1 million shares of our Common Stock through open market purchases during 2022 and there is approximately $20.0 million at December 31, 2022 that may yet be purchased under the existing authorization.

***Cash Flows Summary***

![hvt-20221231_g3.jpg](hvt-20221231_g3.jpg)

***Operating Activities.*** Cash flow generated from operations provides us with a significant source of liquidity. Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for products and services, employee compensation, operations, and occupancy costs.

Cash provided by or used in operating activities is also subject to changes in working capital. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory selection, the timing of cash receipts and payments, and vendor payment terms.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2022 was $51.0 million driven primarily by net income of $89.4 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $25.8 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and by working capital changes driven primarily by a $50.9 million reduction in customer deposits.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2021 was $97.2 million driven primarily by net income of $90.8 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $25.5 million consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and by working capital inflows driven primarily by customer deposits and outflows for inventory turnover and timing of inventory purchases.

***Investing Activities.*** Cash used in investing activities in 2022 consisted primarily of $28.4 million of capital expenditures.

Cash used in investing activities in 2021 primarily reflected $34.1 million of capital expenditures.

***Financing Activities.*** Cash used in financing activities in 2022 consisted primarily of $17.9 million of quarterly cash dividends, $16.1 of special cash dividends, and $30.0 million of share repurchases.

Cash used in financing activities in 2021 primarily reflected $17.4 million of quarterly cash dividends, $35.0 million of special cash dividends, and $41.8 million of share repurchases.

**Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions**

Our discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and evaluate our estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

Accounting estimates are considered critical if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material because of the levels of subjectivity and judgment needed to account for matters that are highly uncertain and susceptible to change and (b) the effect of the estimates and assumptions is material to the financial statements.

We have reviewed our accounting estimates, and none were deemed to be considered critical for the accounting periods presented.

**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Market risk represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the value of financial instruments. The risk of loss is assessed based on the likelihood of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows or future earnings.

In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates to the interest income generated by cash, cash equivalents, and interest expense on the Credit Facility. The primary objective of our investment policy is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. During 2022 and 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which bears interest based on variable rates.

**ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE**

None.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**(a)*Disclosure Controls and Procedures.*** Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of providing reasonable assurance that the information we must disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

**(b)*Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.*** Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2022.

***Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm*.** Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.

**Opinion on internal control over financial reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (a Maryland Corporation) and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and our report dated March 8, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.

**Opinion on the financial statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"), and our report dated March 8, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion.

**Basis for opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical audit matters**

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:</u>**

**Business:**

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. ("Havertys," "we," "our," or "us") is a retailer of a broad line of residential furniture in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. We have 122 showrooms in 16 states at December 31, 2022. All of our stores are operated using the Havertys name and we do not franchise our stores. We also have an online presence through which our customers can make purchases. We offer financing through third-party finance companies.

**COVID-19:**

In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect our team members, customers, and communities, in 2020 Havertys closed all of its stores on March 19 and halted deliveries on March 21, with the expectation at that time of reopening stores on April 2. During March and April we evaluated all aspects of our business. Given the dramatic shock to the economy caused by the pandemic and uncertainty of the ongoing impact, we made a permanent reduction in our workforce of approximately 1,200 team members effective April 30.We reopened 103 of our stores on May 1 and the remaining 17 were opened by June 20 and deliveries restarted on May 5.

Our business was very strong upon re-opening. Consumers not negatively impacted financially focused spending on their homes. The pandemic disrupted supply chains and created longer lead times for fulfilling customer purchases. Our vendors and their suppliers and transportation returned to pre-pandemic operations in the second half of 2022.

**Basis of Presentation:**

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Havertys and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents:**

Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid investments with a maturity date of less than three months when purchased. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions which typically settle within five days.

**Restricted Cash Equivalents:**

Our insurance carrier requires us to collateralize a portion of our workers' compensation obligations. These funds are investments in money market funds held by an agent. The agreement with our carrier governing these funds is on an annual basis expiring on December 31.

**Inventories:**

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

**Other Current Assets:**

Other current assets include receivables from third-party finance companies used by customers to finance purchases and receivables from landlords for tenant incentives.

<u>[Table of Con](#i8482f13d92e04c8a997cb0a89c04b621_7)[tents](#i8482f13d92e04c8a997cb0a89c04b621_7)</u>

**Property and Equipment:**

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the related asset. See Leases below.

Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Buildings | 25 – 33 years |
| Improvements | 5 – 15 years |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 3 – 15 years |
| Equipment | 3 – 15 years |

---

**Customer Deposits:** 

Customer deposits consist of cash collections on sales of undelivered merchandise, customer advance payments, and deposits on credit sales for undelivered merchandise.

**Contingencies:** 

We are involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Generally, in view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these matters, it may not be possible to determine whether any loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss until the case is close to resolution, in which case no reserve is established until that time. Claims against us could result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. We expense any litigation-related amounts as incurred. The results of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. However, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these current matters will not have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

**Revenue Recognition:**

We recognize revenue from merchandise sales and related service fees, net of expected returns and sales tax, at the time the merchandise is delivered to the customer. The liability for sales returns, including the impact on gross profit, is estimated based on historical return levels and recognized at the transaction price. We also recognize a return asset, and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales, for our right to recover the goods returned by the customer, measured at the former carrying amount of the goods, less any expected recovery cost. At each financial reporting date, we assess our estimates of expected returns, refund liabilities, and return assets. When we receive payment from customers before delivery of merchandise, the amount received is recorded as a customer deposit.

Net sales also include amounts generated by product protection plans. We act as an agent for these sales and the service is provided by a third-party. Revenue, net of related costs, is recognized at the time the covered merchandise is delivered to the customer. We do not have a loyalty program.

We expense sales commissions within SG&A at the time revenue is recognized because the amortization period would be one year or less. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations because delivery is made within one year of the customer purchase.

**Cost of Goods Sold:**

Our cost of goods sold includes the direct costs of products sold, warehouse handling and transportation costs.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:**

Our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses are comprised of advertising, selling, occupancy, delivery, administrative costs, and certain warehouse and transportation related expenses including accessorial and demurrage fees. The costs associated with our purchasing, warehousing, delivery and other distribution costs included in SG&A expense were approximately $101,486,000, $94,239,000 and $71,838,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

**Leases:**

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases greater than 12 months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the information required to determine the implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate approximates the rate we would get if borrowing on a collateralized basis based on information available at commencement date. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases that have a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or a liability.

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, primarily related to real estate and we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. See Note 8, "Leases," for additional information.

**Advertising Expense:**

Advertising costs, which include television, radio, newspaper, digital, and other media advertising, are expensed upon first showing. The total amount of prepaid advertising costs included in other current assets was approximately $118,000 and $88,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We incurred approximately $51,381,000, $49,338,000 and $39,862,000 in advertising expense during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

**Interest Income, net:**

We report interest income net of interest expense. Interest income is generated by our cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents. Interest expense is comprised of charges incurred related to our credit facility. The total amount of interest expense was approximately $154,000,$152,000 and $391,000 during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

**Other Income, net:**

Other income, net includes any gains or losses on sales of property and equipment and other income or expense items outside of core operations. On May 18, 2020, Havertys completed a sale and leaseback transaction which generated a gain of $31,600,000 and is included in other income. See Note 8, "Leases," for additional information. The sale of former retail locations and other operating assets generated additional gains of $3,500,000 in 2020 and minor gains or losses in 2021 and 2022.

**Self-Insurance:**

We are self-insured, for amounts up to a deductible per occurrence, for losses related to general liability, workers' compensation and vehicle claims. We are primarily self-insured for employee group health care claims. We have purchased insurance coverage in order to establish certain limits to our exposure on a per claim basis. We maintain an accrual for these costs based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported or paid, based on historical data and actuarial estimates. The current portion of these self-insurance reserves is included in accrued liabilities and the non-current portion is included in other liabilities. These reserves totaled $8,096,000 and $8,306,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**Fair Values 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 amounts due to their short-term nature. The assets that are related to our self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and employees are valued using quoted market prices, a Level 1 valuation technique.

**Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:**

We review long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment is identified, we evaluate the long-lived assets at the individual property or store level, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. We evaluate right-of-use assets at the same level and exclude operating lease liabilities when evaluating for impairment. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, we first compare the carrying amount of the asset to the store's estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated fair value of the store's assets, which is determined on the basis of fair value for similar assets or discounted future cash flows. If required, an impairment loss is recorded in SG&A expense for the difference in the asset's carrying value and the asset's estimated fair value. No impairment losses were recorded in 2022 and 2021 and 2020.

The economic disruption due to COVID-19 was determined to be a triggering event during the second quarter of 2020, and as a result, management assessed its long-term assets, including right-of-use assets for impairment. No impairment loss was required to be recorded.

**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. See Note 13, "Earnings Per Share" for the computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share.

**Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss):**

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), net of income taxes, was comprised of unrecognized retirement liabilities totaling approximately $756,000 and $2,293,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 11, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI to SG&A expense related to our supplemental executive retirement plan.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:**

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of ASUs to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. We considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed and determined none were either applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(1)Includes delivery charges and product protection.

Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are recorded based on estimated margin using our historical return patterns. We record estimated refunds for sales returns on a gross basis and the carrying value of the return asset is presented separately from inventory. Estimated return inventory of $875,000 and $822,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is included in the line item "Other current assets" and the estimated refund liability of $2,588,000 and $2,447,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is included in the line item "Accrued liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We record customer deposits when payments are received in advance of the delivery of merchandise, which totaled $47,969,000 and $98,897,000 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Of the customer deposit liabilities at December 31, 2021, approximately $494,000 has not been recognized through net sales in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

We typically offer our customers an opportunity for us to deliver their purchases and most choose this service. Delivery fees of approximately $52,199,000, $50,002,000 and $30,824,000 were charged to customers in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in net sales. The costs associated with deliveries are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and were approximately $48,071,000, $45,914,000, and $35,885,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We operate within a single reportable segment. We use a market area approach for both financial and operational decision making. Each of these market areas are considered individual operating segments. The individual operating segments all have similar economic characteristics. The retail stores within the market areas are similar in size and carry substantially identical products selected for the same target customer. We also use the same distribution methods chain-wide.

**<u>Note 3, Inventories:</u>**

Inventories are measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuation because it results in a better matching of current costs and revenues. The excess of current costs over our carrying value of inventories was approximately $45,545,000 and $34,704,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The use of the LIFO valuation method as compared to the FIFO method had a negative impact on our cost of goods sold of approximately $10,841,000 in 2022, $12,310,000 in 2021 and $636,000 in 2020. During 2020, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory layers. The effect of the liquidations (included in the preceding LIFO impact amounts) decreased cost of goods sold. The effect of the liquidations during 2020 decreased cost of goods sold by approximately $562,000 or $0.03 per diluted share of common stock. We believe this information is meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements for analyzing the effects of price changes, for better understanding our financial position and for comparing such effects with other companies.

**<u>Note 5, Credit Arrangement:</u>**

In October 2022 we entered into the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a bank to increase the revolving credit facility to $80,000,000, extend the maturity date to October 24, 2027, and replace the LIBOR rate with the SOFR rate as the interest rate benchmark.

The Credit Agreement is a $80,000,000 revolving credit facility secured by our inventory, accounts receivable, cash, and certain other personal property. Availability fluctuates based on a borrowing base calculation reduced by outstanding letters of credit. Amounts available to borrow are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $80,000,000 line amount. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain types of debt or liens, enter into mergers and consolidations or use proceeds of borrowing for other than permitted uses. The covenants also limit our ability to pay dividends if unused availability is less than $12,500,000.

We borrowed $43,800,000 under the Credit Agreement in March 2020 and repaid the borrowings in June 2020. The interest rates on the outstanding balance were based on the three-month Euro dollar LIBOR rate plus 1.25% and on a weighted average basis was approximately 2.37%.Total interest paid under the Credit Agreement was $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no borrowings under the facility for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

The borrowing base was $124,700,000 at December 31, 2022 and there were no outstanding letters of credit, accordingly, the net availability was $80,000,000.

|  | $30143 | $27732 | $17583 |

---

Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes. In 2020, we completed the computations and recorded in the fourth quarter, state quality jobs credits of $1,527,000 generated in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The amounts in the following table are grouped based on broad categories of items that generate the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We review our deferred tax assets to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Based on evidence, we concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax assets will be realized and therefore a valuation allowance is not required.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. With respect to U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions, with limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2019.

***Uncertain Tax Positions***

Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, are recognized as components of income tax expense. No amounts for uncertain tax positions were recorded for the years currently open under statute of limitations.

***Cares Act***

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. We elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes beginning with pay dates on and after April 1, 2020 and through December 31, 2020 and deferred $1,607,000 which was repaid in 2021. During 2020, we recorded $2,301,000 for refundable employee retention credits reducing selling, general and administrative expenses.

**<u>Note 8,</u> <u>Leases:</u>** 

We have operating leases for retail stores, offices, warehouses, and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of between 1 year and 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at lease inception. Our leases do not have any residual value guarantees or any restrictions or covenants imposed by lessors. We have lease agreements for real estate with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance allowing entities to make a policy election to account for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. The election applies to any lessor-provided lease concession related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or in the obligations of the lessee. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received concessions from certain landlords in the form of rent deferrals of approximately $4.5 million and abatements of approximately $1.8 million. We have elected to account for these rent concessions as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original lease agreements and have recorded a non-interest bearing payable for the deferred rent payments.

On May 18, 2020, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction of three facilities which we initiated in April 2020 as part of our business continuity plan. The Coppell, TX location has approximately 394,000 distribution square feet used to serve our western stores, 44,000 retail square feet, and 20,000 square feet of office space used for a call center and general management purposes. The Lakeland, FL property is a distribution center with approximately 335,000 square feet and the Colonial Heights property is a distribution facility with 129,000 square feet. The facilities were leased back to Havertys via 15-year operating lease agreements with renewal options. The total sales price for these properties, excluding costs and taxes, was $70 million and their net book value was approximately $37.9 million. The gain of approximately $31.6 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2020 and is included in other income.

In August 2021, we repurchased the Colonial Heights property, that was part of the sale-leaseback transaction in 2021 for $8.5 million.

As of December 31, 2022, we have entered into one lease for an additional retail location which has not yet commenced and is under construction.

The table below presents the operating lease assets and liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:

Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease.

Certain of our lease agreements for retail stores include variable lease payments, generally based on sales volume. The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease costs, generally based on usage of the underlying asset (mileage, fuel, etc.). The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.

**<u>Note 9, Stockholders' Equity:</u>**

Common Stock has a preferential dividend rate of at least 105% of the dividend paid on Class A Common Stock. Class A Common Stock has greater voting rights which include: voting as a separate class for the election of 75% of the total number of directors and on all other matters subject to shareholder vote, each share of Class A Common Stock has ten votes and votes with the Common Stock as a single class. Class A Common Stock is convertible at the holder's option at any time into Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis; Common Stock is not convertible into Class A Common Stock.

A special cash dividend of $1.00 and $2.00 for Common Stock and $0.95 and $1.90 for Class A Common Stock was paid in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021. Total dividends paid on Common Stock were $31,432,000, $48,837,000 and $46,564,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total dividends paid on Class A Common Stock were $2,516,000, $3,609,000 and $3,957,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

**<u>Note 10, Benefit Plans:</u>**

We have a non-qualified, non-contributory supplemental executive retirement plan (the "SERP") for employees whose retirement benefits are reduced due to their annual compensation levels. The SERP was frozen as of December 31, 2015 and no additional benefits were earned or have been accrued after that date. The SERP provides annual benefits amounting to 55% of final average earnings less benefits payable from Social Security benefits and our former pension plan which was settled in 2014. The SERP limits the total amount of annual retirement benefits that may be paid to a participant from all sources (former pension plan, Social Security and the SERP) to $125,000. The SERP is not funded so we pay benefits directly to participants.

The following table summarizes information about our SERP.

There are no actuarial loss amounts expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic cost in 2023.

**Assumptions**

We use a measurement date of December 31 for our SERP plan. Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Discount rate | 2.80% | 2.41% | 3.29% |
| Rate of compensation increase | n/a | n/a | n/a |

---

Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 for the SERP are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| Discount rate | 5.43% | 2.80% |
| Rate of compensation increase | n/a | n/a |

---

**Cash Flows**

The following schedule outlines the expected benefit payments related to the SERP in future years. These expected benefits were estimated based on the same actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2022.

**Other Plans**

We have an employee savings/retirement (401(k)) plan to which substantially all our employees may contribute. We match employee contributions 100% up to 4% of a participant's compensation, with a maximum match per participant of $12,200 in 2022 and $11,600 in 2021. We suspended the matching contribution for six weeks during 2020 as part of our business continuity plan. We expensed employer contributions of approximately $6,431,000, $6,046,000 and $4,069,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We offer participation in a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan to certain executives and employees. The plan allows a participant to defer a portion of their income. We may also make annual contributions based on the participant's annual deferral, and our contributions were approximately $69,000, $74,000 and $43,000 in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The investments for the plan (and its predecessor plan) are held in rabbi trusts and are used to meet the obligations of the plans and precludes us from using such assets for operating purposes. The plans' assets totaled approximately $8,152,000 and $9,184,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in other assets. The related liability under the plans of approximately $8,158,000 and $9,201,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is included in other liabilities.

We offer no post-retirement benefits other than the plans discussed above and no significant post-employment benefits.

**<u>Note 12, Stock-Based Compensation Plans:</u>**

We have issued and outstanding awards under two employee compensation plans, the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2022 LTIP Plan") and the 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2014 LTIP Plan"). No new awards may be granted under the 2014 LTIP Plan. Grants of stock-settled appreciation rights, restricted units, and performance units have been made to certain officers and key employees. All equity awards are settled in shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 1,241,000 shares were available for awards under the 2022 LTIP Plan.

The total fair value of service-based restricted stock awards that vested in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $3,338,000, $6,069,000 and $1,798,000, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding restricted stock awards was $7,095,000 at December 31, 2022. The restrictions on the service-based awards generally lapse or vest annually, primarily over one-year or three-year periods.

The total fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards that vested in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $993,000, $2,046,000 and $755,000, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding performance awards at December 31, 2022 expected to vest was $13,142,000. The performance awards are based on one-year performance periods but cliff vest in approximately three years from grant date.

The fair value for stock-settled appreciation rights were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The intrinsic value of stock-settled appreciation rights exercised during 2020 was approximately $18,000. There were no stock-settled appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 2020 and there have been no subsequent grants.

The compensation for all awards is being charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants' vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis, and was approximately $7,195,000, $8,213,000 and $4,375,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The tax (benefit) expense recognized related to all awards was approximately $(73,000), $(1,011,000) and $293,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the total compensation cost related to unvested equity awards was approximately $6,126,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at a special meeting may request that the Board of Directors call a special meeting of the shareholders for the purpose or purposes stated in the written request. Upon receiving the request, the Board of Directors shall determine the validity of the request and, if valid, shall determine the time and place of the meeting.

**Section 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fixing of Record Date for Determining Shareholders.**

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining those shareholders who shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders. The date shall be not more than 90 days, and in the case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than 20 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. In lieu of fixing a record date, the Board of Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period, not to exceed in any case 20 days. When the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, the closing of the transfer books shall be at least 10 days before the date of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the shareholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 90 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

**Section 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of Meetings.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of each meeting of the shareholders shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting or otherwise entitled to notice of the meeting either by written notice mailed to the shareholder's mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation or by a form of electronic transmission to an address consented to by the shareholder, or by any other method that is adequate for notice of a shareholders' meeting under the Maryland General Corporation Law. If mailed, notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder's mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The notice shall be given not more than 90 nor less than 10 days before the meeting and shall state the place, day, and hour at which the meeting is to be held. Notice of a meeting of the shareholders does not need to be given to any shareholder who waives notice in a signed writing filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the meeting is held. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, (i) prior to being convened, may be postponed from time to time to a time and date not more than 120 days after the original record date at the same place or some other place, or (ii) after being convened, may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to a time and date not more than 120 days after the original record date at the same or some other place. Notice of postponement of a meeting of shareholders shall be given by the Secretary in any manner sufficient for notice of the meeting as contemplated by this Section.

**Section 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quorum.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any meeting of shareholders, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the shareholders entitled to vote who shall be present in person or by proxy at any meeting (or adjournment or postponement thereof) may, by the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast and without further notice, adjourn the meeting from time to time, but not for a period of more than 120 days after the original record date until a quorum shall attend. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted that could have been transacted if the meeting had been held as originally scheduled.

**Section 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conduct of Meetings.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, by the Vice Chairman of the Board or Lead Director (if one is elected), by the President or Secretary or by any other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors for this purpose. The records of the proceedings shall be kept and authenticated by such other person as may be appointed for that purpose at the meeting by the presiding officer. To participate in a meeting, shareholders must be present in person or by proxy. Shareholders may not participate by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment unless the Board of Directors determines that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held solely by means of remote communication, or may be held by means of remote communication in addition to a physical location, in which case participation by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment as provided by the Board of Directors in the notice of the meeting or

------

the accompanying proxy statement shall constitute presence in person. Any meeting of shareholders may adjourn from time to time without further notice to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date at the same or some other place.

**Section 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxies.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders may vote either in person or by proxy, and if by proxy, in any manner authorized by the Maryland General Corporation Law. A proxy that is dated more than 11 months before the meeting at which it is offered shall not be accepted unless the proxy shall state a longer period for which it is to remain in force. A written proxy shall be dated and signed by the shareholder, or the shareholder's duly authorized agent, but need not be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged. Proxies shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting.

**Section 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except with respect to the election of directors and as otherwise provided in the Charter of the Corporation, at all meetings of shareholders the holders of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock shall vote together as a single class and each holder of shares of (a) Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock and (b) Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to ten votes for each share of stock of the Corporation registered in the shareholder's name upon the books of the Corporation on the date fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In the election of directors, the holders of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock shall vote as separate classes in accordance with the Charter of the Corporation and each such holder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock. Except as otherwise provided in the Charter of the Corporation, all elections of directors submitted to a vote at meetings of shareholders shall be decided by a plurality of all votes cast in person or by proxy by shares entitled to vote in the election of each class of directors. All other matters submitted to a vote at meetings of shareholders shall be decided by a majority of all votes cast in person or by proxy, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute, by the Charter of the Corporation, or by these Bylaws. If the presiding officer shall so determine, a vote by ballot may be taken upon any election or matter, and the vote shall be so taken upon the request of the holders of 20 percent of the stock present and entitled to vote on the election or matter. If the presiding officer shall so determine, the votes on all matters to be voted upon by ballot may be postponed to be voted on at the same time or on a single ballot.

The Corporation may require any shareholder providing written notice of a director nomination or other business, or any such proposed director nominee, to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Corporation to determine whether the requirements of this subsection 10(a) and, if applicable, Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereof, have been satisfied as well as the eligibility of any proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. The announcement of a postponement of an annual meeting after notice of the meeting has been given or an adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described in this subsection 10(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Special Meetings of Shareholders</u>. Only such business as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of special meeting of shareholders shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders.

In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more persons to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election as a director as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the shareholder's written notice containing all of the information that would have been required to be included in the written notice contemplated by Section 10(a) in the case of an annual meeting, shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than 90 days before the special meeting and not later than the later of 60 days before the special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting and of the nominees, if any, proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at the special meeting is first made. The Corporation may require any shareholder providing written notice of a director nomination or other business for consideration at a special meeting, or any such proposed director nominee, to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Corporation to determine whether the requirements of this subsection 10(b) and, if applicable, Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereof, have been satisfied as well as the eligibility of any proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. The announcement of a postponement of a special meeting after notice of the meeting has been given or an adjournment of a special meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described in this subsection 10(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with these Bylaws, including this Section, shall be eligible for election as directors, and only such business as shall have been properly brought before a meeting of shareholders in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws, including this Section, shall be conducted. The presiding officer of any annual or special meeting of shareholders shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws or whether any representations and covenants made by a nominating shareholder were accurate and complied with, and, in the case of the solicitation of proxies in respect of any nominees, other than nominees proposed by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any nominating committee or person appointed by the Board of Directors for such purpose, whether such solicitation was conducted in accordance with the requirements of this Section and, if applicable, Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereof. If the presiding officer of any annual or special meeting determines

------

that a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was not made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws or that any such representations or covenants were inaccurate or were not complied with, that any such solicitation was not conducted in accordance with the requirements of this Section and Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereof, or that any nominating shareholder or nominee failed to provide such other information as was reasonably requested by the Corporation in accordance with this Section, the presiding officer shall have the power and duty to declare that such nomination was defective or such business was not properly before the meeting and such nomination or business (and any proxies submitted for any such nominees or in respect of such business), as the case may be, shall be disregarded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Section, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, Business Wire, Bloomberg, PR Newswire or comparable news agency or (ii) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). For purposes of this Section, an "Associated Person" of a shareholder means (i) any person acting in concert with the shareholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by the shareholder (other than a shareholder that is a depositary), and (iii) any person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the shareholder or an Associated Person of the shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a shareholder also shall comply with all requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to each of the matters set forth in this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right of a shareholder to request inclusion of a proposal in, nor the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereof, or shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before an annual or special meeting of shareholders.

**Section 11. Inspectors of Elections.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One or more inspectors may be appointed by the presiding officer at any meeting. If so appointed, the inspector or inspectors shall open and close the polls, receive and take charge of the proxies and ballots, decide all questions as to the qualifications of voters and the validity of proxies, determine and report the results of elections and votes on matters before the meeting, and do such other acts as may be proper to conduct the election and the vote with fairness to all shareholders.

In case any officer of the Corporation who has signed a stock certificate ceases to be an officer of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before the stock certificate is issued, the certificate may nevertheless be issued and delivered by the Corporation as if the officer had not ceased to be such officer on the date of issue. Within a reasonable time after the issuance of uncertificated shares and receipt of a request

------

from the registered owner of the shares, to the extent required by the Maryland General Corporation Law the Corporation shall furnish to the registered owner of the shares a written statement containing the information required by the Maryland General Corporation Law to be set forth of certificates representing shares of such stock.

**Section 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transfer of Shares.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares of stock shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holder thereof, in person or by duly authorized agent, upon the surrender of the stock certificate representing the shares to be transferred, properly endorsed, or in the case of uncertificated shares, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the holder thereof. Within a reasonable time after the transfer of uncertificated shares and receipt of a request from the registered owner of the shares, to the extent required by the Maryland General Corporation Law the Corporation shall furnish to the registered owner of the shares a written statement containing the information required by the Maryland General Corporation Law to be set forth on certificates representing shares of such stock.

The duties of transfer agent and registrar may be combined.

**Section 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional Regulations.**

**ARTICLE IX**

**INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS**

**Section 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Definitions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terms used in this Article IX shall have the same meaning as such terms are defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law.

**Section 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Permitted Indemnification of Director.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation shall indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the Corporation, indemnification may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section. However, the termination of any proceeding by conviction, or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.

------

**Section 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Indemnification of Director for Proceedings Against the Corporation or Improper Personal Benefit.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation shall not indemnify a director under Section 2 of this Article IX or advance expenses under Section 6 of this Article IX for a proceeding brought by that director against the Corporation, except (i) for a proceeding brought to force indemnification under this Article IX; or (ii) if the Charter of the Corporation or Bylaws, a resolution of the Board of Directors, or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Corporation is a party, expressly provides otherwise. A director may not be indemnified under Section 2 of this Article IX in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received.

**Section 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Required Indemnification.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless limited by the Charter of the Corporation, a director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 2 of this Article IX shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

**Section 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Determination that Indemnification is Proper.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification under Section 2 of this Article IX may not be made by the Corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 of this Article IX.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such determination shall be made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors in which the designated directors who are parties may participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If neither the requisite quorum of the Board of Directors nor a committee of the Board of Directors can be obtained, or if a majority of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors or a disinterested committee so directs, then the determination shall be made either (A) by special legal counsel, which shall be counsel specifically appointed for such purpose, or (B) by a majority vote of the shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the determination is made by special legal counsel, such counsel shall be selected either by the Board of Directors or a disinterested committee as set forth in subparagraph (i) above, or if the requisite quorum of the full Board of Directors cannot be obtained and the committee cannot be established, then by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors in which directors who are parties may participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the manner specified in this Section for selection of such special counsel.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of a director and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If it determines a director is entitled to reimbursement under Section 4 of this Article IX, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the director shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2 of this Article IX or has been adjudged liable under the circumstances described in Section 3 of this Article IX, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation or in which the director was found liable in the circumstances described in Section 3 of this Article IX shall be limited to expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same court in which the proceeding involving the director's liability took place.

**Section 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advancement of Expenses.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) a written affirmation by the director of the director's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undertaking required by the foregoing paragraph shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments under this Section shall be made as provided by the Charter of the Corporation, by the Bylaws or by contract or as specified in Section 5 of this Article IX.

**Section 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Validity of Indemnification Provision.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or authorized by this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a director may be entitled under the Charter of the Corporation, the Bylaws, a resolution of shareholders or directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

**Section 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reimbursement of Expenses.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Article IX does not limit the Corporation's power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

------

**Section 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Director's Service to Employee Benefit Plan.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation shall indemnify its directors pursuant to this Article IX in connection with a director's service to an employee benefit plan at the request of the Corporation. For purposes of indemnification under this Article IX, action taken or omitted by a director in the performance of his or her duties with respect to an employee benefit plan, for a purpose reasonably believed by the director to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan, shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. In addition, excise taxes assessed on a director with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed to be fines for purposes of indemnification under this Article IX.

**Section 10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Officer, Employee or Agent.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless limited by the Charter of the Corporation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An officer of the Corporation who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 2 of this Article IX shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the officer in connection with the proceeding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify directors or advance expenses to directors under this Article IX; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation, in addition, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be provided by the Charter of the Corporation, the Bylaws, general or specific action of the Board of Directors or contract.

**Section 11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insurance or Similar Protection.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions of this Article IX. The Corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not inconsistent with this Article IX. Insurance or similar protection may be provided by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Corporation.

**Section 12. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Report of Indemnification to Shareholders.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director in accordance with this Article IX, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, shall be reported in writing to the shareholders with the notice of the next shareholders' meeting or prior to the meeting.

------

**ARTICLE X**

**MISCELLANEOUS**

**Section 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bonds.**

**Section 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting Shares in Other Corporations.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any shares in other corporations or associations, which may from time to time be held by the Corporation, may be represented and voted at any meeting of the shareholders thereof by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any other officer of the Corporation so designated by the Chairman of the Board or the President of the Corporation, or by proxy executed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, the President or such designated officer.
