Note F.  Restructuring Reserve and Plant Closures

As a result of the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies, the Corporation has closed, consolidated and realigned a number of its office furniture facilities during the past few years. In connection with these closures, consolidations and realignments, the Corporation recorded $0.0 million and $0.1 million of current period restructuring costs during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 .

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators existed during the six months ended June 29, 2013 .  The Corporation estimates the fair value of its reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow method.  This method employs assumptions that are market participant based.

Note H.  Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design or workmanship. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs and are included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims that are expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience.  Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve.  Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows during the periods noted:

Note J.  Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 29, 2013 , reflects an effective tax rate of 35.2 percent compared to 35.7 percent for the same period last year. The 2013 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 34.0 percent .



12


Note K.  Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in diesel fuel prices.  On the date a derivative is entered into, the Corporation designates the derivative as (i) a fair value hedge, (ii) a cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation or (iv) a risk management instrument not designated for hedge accounting.  The Corporation recognizes all derivatives on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Diesel Fuel Risk
The Corporation uses independent freight carriers to deliver its products.  These carriers charge the Corporation a basic rate per mile that is subject to a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases.  The Corporation enters into variable to fixed rate commodity swap agreements with two financial counterparties to manage fluctuations in fuel costs.  The Corporation hedges approximately 50% of its diesel fuel surcharge exposure for the next twelve months.  The Corporation uses the hedge agreements to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel prices and related fuel surcharges, and not to speculate on the future price of diesel fuel.  The hedge agreements are designed to add stability to the Corporation's costs, enabling the Corporation to make pricing decisions and lessen the economic impact of abrupt changes in diesel fuel prices over the term of the contract.  The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to twelve months.  The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such, the net amount paid or received upon monthly settlements is recorded as an adjustment to freight expense, while the effective change in fair value is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 29, 2013 , $0.0 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity ("Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) related to the diesel hedge agreements are expected to be reclassified to current earnings ("Selling and administrative expenses" in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income) over the next twelve months.

Note L.  Fair Value Measurements

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities and derivative instruments.  The marketable securities were comprised of government securities, corporate bonds and money market funds. When available the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1.  Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges/indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

Assets measured at fair value as of June 29, 2013 were as follows:

In addition to the methods and assumptions the Corporation uses to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the section above, it uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents - Level 1
The carrying amount approximated fair value and includes money market funds.

Long-term debt (including current portion) - Level 2
The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate, long-term debt obligations at June 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012 , the end of the Corporation's 2012 fiscal year, approximated the fair value.  The fair value of the Corporation's outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt obligations is estimated based on discounted cash flow method to be $159 million at June 29, 2013 and $161 million at December 29, 2012 , compared to the carrying value of $150 million .


Note M.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit in the amount of $12 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations.  The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims.  It is the Corporation's opinion that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.


Note N.  New Accounting Standards

In January 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance clarifying the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities.
This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those
annual periods. The Corporation does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its fiscal 2014 financial statements.




15


Note O.  Business Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as operating in two business segments: office furniture and hearth products with the former being the principal business segment.

The office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal and wood office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, classroom solutions, freestanding office partitions and panel systems and other related products.  The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of manufactured gas, electric, wood and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts and stoves, facings and accessories, principally for the home.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales transfers between segments are not material and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses.  These unallocated corporate expenses include the net cost of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income and interest expense.  Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs rather than a business segment cost.  In addition, management applies one effective tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis.

The Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

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


Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments:  office furniture and hearth products.  The Corporation is the second largest office furniture manufacturer in the world and the nation's leading manufacturer and marketer of gas- and wood-burning fireplaces.  The Corporation utilizes its split and focus, decentralized business model to deliver value to its customers with its various brands and selling models.  The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 6.3 percent to $510.7 million when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 .  The increase was driven by both the office furniture and hearth products segments.  Gross margins for the quarter decreased from prior year levels due to new product ramp up and facility reconfiguration costs to meet changing market demands and product category shifts partially offset by higher volume and increased price realization.  Total selling and administrative expenses increased due to selling initiatives and a loss on the sale of a small non-core office furniture business.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 6.3 percent or $30.3 million compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by both the office furniture segment and the hearth products segment. Compared to prior year quarter, divestitures of several small businesses, including office furniture dealers, partially offset by the acquisition of BP Ergo, resulted in a $4.9 million sales decline.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2013 decreased to 34.2 percent compared to 34.4 percent for the same quarter last year.  The decrease in gross margin was driven by new product ramp up and facility reconfiguration to meet changing market demand and product category shifts partially offset by higher volume and better price realization.  Second quarter 2012 included $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation and transition costs related to the closure and consolidation of office furniture manufacturing facilities.

During the second quarter of 2013 the Corporation sold a small non-core office furniture business resulting in a loss on sale of $2.4 million. The business sold and the loss on sale are not material to the Corporation's quarterly or annual results and therefore has not been presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income .

Total selling and administrative expenses, including restructuring charges, as a percentage of net sales improved to 30.3 percent compared to 31.6 percent for the same quarter last year due to higher volume, network distribution realignment savings and lower restructuring charges partially offset by investment in growth initiatives and a loss on the sale of a small non-core office furniture business. Second quarter 2012 included $0.8 million of restructuring and transition charges associated with plant consolidations.

18


The provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three months ended June 29, 2013 , reflects an effective tax rate of 35.2 percent compared to 35.7 percent for the same period last year. The 2013 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 34.0 percent .

Net income attributable to HNI Corporation was $11.4 million or $0.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $7.0 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012 .

For the first six months of 2013 , consolidated net sales increased $27.4 million , or 3.0 percent , to $953.0 million compared to
$925.6 million for the first six months of 2012 driven by an increase in the supplies-driven channel of the office furniture segment and higher sales in the hearth products segment. Gross margins increased to 33.8 percent compared to 33.7 percent for the same
period last year driven by higher volume and better price realization partially offset by unfavorable mix, new product ramp up and facility reconfiguration to meeting changing market demand and product category shifts. Net income attributable to HNI Corporation was $12.8 million for the first six months of 2013 compared to $6.9 million for the first six months of 2012 . Earnings per share increased to $0.28 per diluted share compared to $0.15 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Office Furniture

Second quarter 2013 sales for the office furniture segment increased 4.2 percent or $17.6 million to $436.2 million from $418.6 million for the same quarter last year. The change was driven by increases in both the supplies-driven and contract channels due to strong project activity and increasing demand for new products. Compared to the prior year quarter, divestitures, partially offset by the acquisition of BP Ergo, resulted in a $4.9 million sales decline. Second quarter 2013 operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased 0.3 percent or $0.1 million to $22.1 million as a result of higher volume, increased price realization, distribution network realignment savings and lower restructuring charges. These were partially offset by new product ramp up, facility reconfigurations to meet changing market demands and product category shifts and a loss on the sale of a small non-core business. Second quarter 2012 included $1.1 million of restructuring and transition costs.

Net sales for the first six months of 2013 increased 0.6 percent or $4.8 million to $802.0 million compared to $797.2 million
for the same period in 2012 . The change was driven by an increase in the supplies-driven channel partially offset by a decrease in the other office furniture channels and the impact of small divestitures. Compared to the first six months of the prior year, divestitures, partially offset by the acquisition of BP Ergo, resulted in a $6.9 million sales decline. Operating profit for the first six months of 2013 increased 3.1 percent or $0.9 million to $30.8 million compared to $29.9 million for the same period in 2012 driven by the same drivers experienced in the current quarter.


Hearth Products

Second quarter 2013 net sales for the hearth products segment increased 20.5 percent or $12.7 million to $74.5 million from $61.8 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by an increase in both the new construction channel due to housing market recovery and the remodel-retrofit channel due to strong remodeling activity.   Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased $4.8 million to $5.7 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year quarter due to increased volume, higher price realization and lower input costs offset partially by investments in selling initiatives and higher incentive-based compensation.

Net sales for the first six months of 2013 increased 17.6 percent or $22.5 million to $151.0 million compared to $128.4 million for the same period in 2012 . Operating profit for the first six months of 2013 increased $7.3 million to $9.3 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2012 . The year-to-date increase in sales and operating profit were driven by the same drivers experienced in the current quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow – Operating Activities
Operating activities used $12.5 million of cash in the first six months of 2013 compared to generating $5.7 million in the first six months of 2012 .  Working capital was a $71.1 million use of cash in the first six months of the current fiscal year compared to a $35.2 million use of cash in the same period of the prior year. Trade receivables and inventory increased from the same period in the prior year due to timing and increased sales. Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive for the year.



Cash Flow – Investing Activities

19


Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $39.3 million compared to $25.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2012 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products, manufacturing investments for laminate capabilities and the on-going implementation of new integrated software systems to support business process transformation.  For the full year 2013 , capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $80 to $85 million, primarily focused on new product development and related tooling, accelerated manufacturing investments for laminate capabilities and the business systems transformation project referred to above.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities
The net borrowings under the revolving credit facility at the end of second quarter were $69 million and are classified as short-term as the Corporation expects to repay the borrowings within a year.
The Credit Agreement governing the Corporation's revolving credit facility contains a number of covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter:

•
a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and
•
a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters; or
•
a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters following any qualifying debt financed acquisition.
The note purchase agreement pertaining to the Corporation's Senior Notes also contains a number of covenants, including a covenant requiring maintenance of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the note purchase agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the note purchase agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The revolving credit facility is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of common stock and certain working capital needs.  Non-compliance with the various financial covenant ratios in the revolving credit facility or the Senior Notes could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and Senior Notes and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.0 to 1.0 included in the Credit Agreement.  Under the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income.  At June 29, 2013 , the Corporation was well below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the Credit Agreement and the note purchase agreement.  The Corporation currently expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

The Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share on the Corporation's common stock on May 7, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2013. The dividend was paid on May 31, 2013.

During the six months ended June 29, 2013 , the Corporation repurchased 223,100 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $7.7 million , or an average price of $34.56 per share.  As of June 29, 2013 , approximately $107.1 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, coupled with cash from future operations, borrowing capacity under the existing facility and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

20



Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods.  A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012 .  During the first six months of fiscal 2013 , there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation is involved in various kinds of disputes and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims.  It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that additional liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates.  The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  A summary of the more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012 .  During the first six months of fiscal 2013 , there were no material changes in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Corporation continues to focus on creating long-term shareholder value by growing its businesses through investment in building brands, product solutions and selling models, enhancing its strong member-owner culture and remaining focused on its long-standing continuous improvement programs to build best total cost and a lean enterprise.
