Somnigroup (SGI) says it "welcomes" Leggett & Platt's (LEG) willingness to engage in discussions and conduct customary due diligence, which is currently underway. Somnigroup says it remains committed to pursuing a transaction that will deliver substantial value to shareholders of both companies. Comments taken from Q4 earnings conference call.

Sees FY26 revenue $3.8B-$4B, consensus $3.9B.

Reports Q4 revenue $939M, consensus $938.74M. President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, "Throughout 2025, our teams executed our strategic priorities, including strengthening our balance sheet, improving operational efficiency, and positioning the company for long-term growth. We made significant progress on our deleveraging efforts, reducing our debt and lowering our net debt leverage ratio to 2.4x. This was a tremendous step toward achieving our long-term target of 2.0x, making Leggett more agile and enabling us to shift our focus to pursuing opportunities for growth and returning capital to shareholders. We are pleased the restructuring plan we launched in early 2024 was substantially completed by the end of 2025, resulting in greater EBIT benefit with lower costs than originally expected. We are confident the significant improvements made over the past two years are sustainable, will support improved profitability and cash flow, and position us to benefit from the future recovery in residential market demand."

Somnigroup (SGI) issued the following statement in response to the announcement by Leggett & Platt (LEG) that its board of directors has authorized discussions and entered into a customary non-disclosure agreement to facilitate due diligence and discussions with Somnigroup: "We welcome the Board's willingness to engage in discussions with us and we look forward to conducting customary due diligence. Somnigroup remains committed to pursuing a transaction that will deliver substantial value to shareholders of both companies. However, as we advised Leggett & Platt in declining to revise our proposal in advance of customary due diligence, we believe that our proposed all-stock transaction for value of $12 per share, as previously announced on December 1, 2025, represents fair value for Leggett & Platt. Our proposal offers Leggett & Platt shareholders a 30% premium to the unaffected 30-day average price of Leggett & Platt's shares as of that date, and an opportunity to participate in the future growth of the combined company."
