Positive
Earnings Performance Exceeds Expectations: Non-GAAP EPS of $1.03 exceeded our internal expectations and was 11% higher than the prior-year period despite continued revenue pressure.
Strong EPS Growth: Our 11% non-GAAP EPS growth in the third quarter was on top of a very strong year ago comparison, when profit grew more than 30% year-over-year.
EPS Growth Without Revenue Support: Third quarter EPS has more than doubled in the past three years, and we delivered those results without top-line support.
Workplace Furnishings Profit Surge: In the Workplace Furnishings segment, our profit transformation plan and acceleration of KII synergies drove segment non-GAAP operating profit margin to a 20-year high for the third quarter.
Operating Profit Margin Expansion: In Residential Building Products, despite ongoing housing market volatility, non-GAAP operating profit margin expanded year-over-year and exceeded 18% for only the third time in the third quarter.
Negative
Workplace Furnishings Revenue Decline: The fourth quarter revenue in Workplace Furnishings is expected to decline at a low-to-mid-single-digit rate year-over-year.
Revised Growth Outlook: Our new outlook represents a reduction from what we provided in our July earnings release, which implied fourth quarter growth.
Earnings Decline Forecast: We expect fourth quarter earnings to decline year-over-year.
Workplace Furnishings Margins Decline: Margins in Workplace Furnishings are expected to move modestly lower year-over-year, driven by lower volume.
EPS Growth Streak: Despite that decline, we expect fully year EPS to increase and extend our streak of growing fully year EPS by 10% or more to three years.
