NOTE A – Business and Reporting Policies

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. ("Havertys," "the Company," "we," "our," or "us") is a retailer of a broad line of residential furniture in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. We operate all of our stores using the Havertys brand and do not franchise our concept. We operate within a single reportable segment.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We believe all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.  We believe that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Havertys' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE C - Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU's) to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU's. Newly effective ASU's not noted herein were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Share-based payments.   In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 regarding ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." This amendment changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees.  Entities will be required to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled.  The amendment will allow for the repurchase of a greater number of an employee's shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and for entities to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted.  We plan to adopt ASU 2016-09 January 1, 2017 and apply the guidance on a prospective basis.  The impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations will be primarily driven by the amount of any tax benefits or deficiencies which in prior years would have been recorded to additional paid-in capital and under this ASU will be charged to the income statement.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 regarding ASC Topic 842, "Leases," which amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The main difference between previous GAAP and the amended standard is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. As a result, the Company will have to recognize a liability representing its lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Deferred Taxes.   In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 regarding ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes."  This amendment changes how deferred taxes are recognized by eliminating the requirement of presenting deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent on the balance sheet. Instead, the requirement is to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent.  We adopted ASU 2015-17 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and have applied the new guidance prospectively and accordingly the prior balance sheets were not retrospectively adjusted.

Revenue Recognition . As discussed in Note 1 of the Company's notes to the consolidated financial statements in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09) in May 2014. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," that deferred the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine our adoption method and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

NOTE D – Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our insurance carrier requires us to collateralize a portion of our workers' compensation obligations. These escrowed funds are shown as restricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet and are investments in money market funds held by an agent.  The changes in the balance are shown in investing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows.  The annual agreement with our carrier governing these funds expires on December 31, 2016.

NOTE E - Investments

Investments consist of commercial paper and certificates of deposit.  The commercial paper totaled approximately $10.0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 with original maturities of more than three months but less than six months.  Certificates of deposit had original maturities of greater than three months.  The fair values of the investments approximate their carrying amounts.

NOTE F – Interim LIFO Calculations

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on actual inventory levels. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates. Since these estimates may be affected by factors beyond management's control, interim results are subject to change based upon the final year-end LIFO inventory valuations.

NOTE G – Fair Value 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 values due to their short-term nature. The assets related to our self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and employees are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares held, a Level 1 valuation technique. The assets related to our deferred compensation plans totaled approximately $4.0 million at March 31, 2016 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2015 and are included in other assets.  The related liabilities of the same amounts are included in other liabilities.

NOTE H – Credit Arrangement

In March 2016 we entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a bank.  The Credit Agreement amends our revolving credit facility to increase the aggregate commitments from $50.0 million to $60.0 million, extend the maturity date to March 31, 2021 from September 1, 2016, lower the commitment fees on unused amounts, reduce the applicable margin for interest rates on borrowings, modify the borrowing base calculation, and change the collateral reporting requirements.  We have not had any borrowings under the revolving credit facility since its origination in 2008.

The $60.0 million revolving credit facility is secured by inventory, accounts receivable, cash and certain other personal property.  Our Credit Agreement includes negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things (a) incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guarantees; (b) incur liens and engage in sale leaseback transactions or real estate sales in excess of $100.0 million; (c) pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; (d) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (e) alter the business that the Company conducts.

Availability fluctuates under a borrowing base calculation and is reduced by outstanding letters of credit.  The borrowing base was $60.1 million at March 31, 2016 and there were no outstanding letters of credit.  Amounts available are based on the lesser of the borrowing base or the $60.0 million line amount and reduced by $6.0 million since a fixed charge coverage ratio test was not met for the immediately preceding twelve months, resulting in a net availability of $54.0 million.  There were no borrowed amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2016.

NOTE I – Income Taxes

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a year to date adjustment.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 38.5% and 38.4%, respectively.  The primary difference in the effective rate and the statutory rate is due to state income taxes.

NOTE J Stock Based Compensation Plan
As more fully discussed in Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have awards outstanding for Common Stock under stock-based employee compensation plans.

Grants of equity awards are made to certain officers and key employees under stockholder approved long-term incentive plans. The restrictions on most of the awards generally lapse annually, primarily over four year periods. During 2016, the Company granted 58,138 awards for which the shares ultimately issued will be based upon the achievement of various performance measures. The restricted units earned under most of these awards vest after three years. The remaining grants have time-based vesting of one or four years. The compensation is being charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants' vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis.  Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, was approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding restricted common stock grants was $11.5 million at March 31, 2016. The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and outstanding stock-settled appreciation rights at March 31, 2016 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

NOTE K – 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.

The Common Stock of the Company has a preferential dividend rate of at least 105% of the dividend paid on the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock, which has ten votes per share as opposed to one vote per share for the Common Stock (on all matters other than the election of directors), may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into Common Stock at the option of the holder of the Class A Common Stock.

Net Sales

Our sales are generated by customer purchases of home furnishings.  Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer.

Comparable-store or "comp-store" sales for the periods presented are sales from stores open throughout the period and the corresponding prior year period.  If a store expansion results in a 10% or greater increase in selling square footage, its sales are removed from the comparable store sales base until it has been open a full 12 months.

The following outlines our sales and comp-store sales increases and decreases for the periods indicated (dollars in millions, amounts and percentages may not always add to totals due to rounding):

Our sales increase in the first quarter was at the same pace as the fourth quarter of 2015.

Our average written ticket was up 1.1% and custom order upholstery written business grew 4.0% for the first quarter compared to the 2015 period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was 53.7%, flat compared to the prior year period and slightly better than our estimates. Our margins were negatively impacted by discontinued and mismatched products which will have continued impact during the remainder of the year.

Our expectation for annual gross profit margins for 2016 remains unchanged at approximately 53.5%.

Substantially all of our occupancy and home delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as are a portion of our warehousing expenses. Accordingly, our gross profit may not be comparable to those entities that include these costs in cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses are comprised of five categories: selling; occupancy; delivery and certain warehousing costs; advertising and marketing; and administrative.

Our SG&A costs as a percent of sales was 49.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 48.2% for the same period in 2015.  Total SG&A dollars for the first quarter of 2016 increased $4.1 million compared to the prior year period.  Our selling costs increased $0.8 million in 2016 over 2015 due mainly to greater sales commissions and salaries. Occupancy expense rose $0.8 million primarily due to increases in depreciation and other costs associated with three new stores. Advertising and marketing expenses were $1.2 million higher in the first quarter of 2016 as we altered the level and mix of our media spending.  Administrative costs rose $0.6 million primarily from inflation and higher health insurance expenses.

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

Our normal fixed and discretionary type expenses within SG&A costs are expected to be approximately $251.0 million for the full year 2016 versus the $240.9 million, for the same costs in 2015.  The increase is largely due to depreciation and occupancy costs for new and relocated stores, staffing increases and inflation.  The fixed and discretionary expenses were $61.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 versus $57.9 million in 2015, and the increases for the rest of the year will fluctuate with store expansion and marketing activity with the highest level in the fourth quarter.  The variable type costs within SG&A for the first quarter of 2016 were 18.1% compared to 18.0% in 2015, and are anticipated to be approximately 17.8% to 17.9% percent of sales for the full year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements include working capital needs, contractual obligations, income tax obligations and capital expenditures.  We have funded these requirements primarily through cash generated from operations.  We have no funded debt and our lease obligations are primarily due to arrangements that are not considered capital leases but must be recorded on our balance sheets.  We believe funds generated from our expected results of operations and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our primary obligations, dividends, stock repurchases and complete capital projects that we have underway or currently contemplate.

We also have a revolving credit facility which we amended in March 2016.  Refer to Note H to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facility.  The availability at March 31, 2016 was $54.0 million and there were no borrowed amounts outstanding.

Summary of Cash Activities
Our cash flows used in operating activities totaled $4.8 million in the first three months of 2016 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $13.6 million for the same period of 2015.  This decrease was primarily due to a larger increase in inventories and larger decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2016 compared to 2015.  For additional information about the changes in our assets and liabilities refer to our Balance Sheet Changes discussion.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $9.0 million in the first three months of 2016 versus $5.7 million for the same period of 2015. This increase was due to increased capital expenditures in 2016 and the maturities of certificates of deposit in 2015.

Financing activities used cash of $3.2 million in the first three months of 2016 compared to providing cash of $0.8 million for the same period of 2015.  This difference was primarily the result of the receipt of $3.3 million in construction allowances in 2015 from landlords at stores where Havertys is considered the owner of the property during the construction period.

Balance Sheet Changes for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, as compared to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, changed as follows:

·
increase in prepaid expenses of $4.3 million due to payments for maintenance agreements for new computer hardware;
·
increase in property and equipment of $7.3 million primarily due to capital expenditures and additional leased properties recorded on our balance sheet;
·
increase in customer deposits of $2.7 million as undelivered sales increased as is generally the case during the first quarter;
·
decrease in accrued liabilities of $11.5 million due to typical payments made in the first quarter of year end accruals such as incentive pay and income tax estimated payments; and
·
increase in lease obligations of $3.2 million as one additional store lease was recorded on our balance sheet.

These changes combined with our other activity should increase net selling space in 2016 by approximately 1.4%.  Total capital expenditures are estimated to be $33.0 million in 2016 depending on the timing of spending for new projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2016 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We had no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates since our last annual report.

Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and similar matters, and those that include the words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  For those statements, Havertys claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based

11


on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties.  The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in the economic environment; changes in the housing market; changes in industry conditions; competition; merchandise costs; energy costs; timing and level of capital expenditures; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; and other risks identified in Havertys' SEC reports and public announcements.

Item 3.                            Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes with respect to our financial instruments and their related market risks since the date of the Company's most recent annual report.

Item 4.                            Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1A.  Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The board of directors has authorized management, at its discretion, to purchase limited amounts of our common stock and Class A common stock. A program was initially approved by the board on November   3, 1986 with subsequent authorizations made as to the number of shares or amount of dollars for purchases. On November 10, 2015, the board authorized management to purchase up to $10.0 million of common and Class A common stock after a remaining authorization made in August 2014 is complete.

EXHIBIT 10.1
 
FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT


THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this " Amendment "), is made and entered into as of March 31, 2016, by and among HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC., a Maryland corporation (" HFC "), HAVERTYS CREDIT SERVICES, INC., a Tennessee corporation  (" HCS " and, together with HFC, each, a " Borrower " and, collectively, the " Borrowers "), the financial institutions party hereto as lenders (the " Lend-ers "), and SUNTRUST BANK, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (the " Administrative Agent ") and as issuing bank (the " Issuing Bank ").

W   I   T   N   E   S   S   E   T   H :

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2011  (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the " Credit Agreement "; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain financial accommodations available to the Borrowers;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are acknowledged, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:
1.
Amendments .
a.              Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the definitions of  "Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments", "Applicable Margin", "Borrowing Base", "Cash Equivalents", "Change in Control", "Exception Conditions", and "Maturity Date" in their entirety and inserting the following definitions in lieu thereof:
" Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments " shall mean, as of any particular time, the aggregate committed principal amount of all Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, including any increase in Revolving Loan Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.17(a) hereof. On the First Amendment Date, the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments are $60,000,000.
" Applicable Margin " shall mean, with respect to each Advance and issuance of Letters of Credit, a per annum rate of interest as set forth in the pricing grid below (the " Pricing Grid ") determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to the applicable Average Availability for the fiscal month   most recently ended, effective as of the second Business Day after the Borrowing Base Certificate required pursuant to Section 7.5(a) is delivered by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent for such fiscal month most recently ended:



Level
Average Availability
Applicable Margin
I
Less than $30,000,000
1.50%
II
Greater than or equal to $30,000,000
1.25%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin from the First Amendment Date through (and including) the date two (2) Business Days after the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate required pursuant to Section 7.5(a) for the fiscal month ending on March 31, 2016 shall be at Level II as set forth in the Pricing Grid.
In the event that the Administrative Borrower fails to timely provide any Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms of Section 7.5(a) , and without prejudice to any additional rights under Section 9.2 , as of the second Business Day after delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate was due until the date two (2) Business Days following the date such Borrowing Base Certificate was delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be at Level I as set forth in the Pricing Grid.
In the event that the information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin based upon the Pricing Grid (the " Accurate Applicable Margin ") for any period that such Borrowing Base Certificate covered (an " Applicable Period ") than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Administrative Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted such that after giving effect to the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate the Applicable Margin shall be reset to the Accurate Applicable Margin based upon the Pricing Grid for such period and (iii) the Borrowers shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest on the Advances and Letters of Credit as a result of such Accurate Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11 .
Nothing contained in this definition shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders to exercise their rights under Section 2.3(b) or Section 9.2 .
" Borrowing Base " shall mean, at any particular time, the sum of:
(a)              90% of the NOLV of Eligible Inventory, plus

" Change in Control " shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (a) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Administrative Borrower to any Person or "group" (within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission as in effect on the date hereof),  (b) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any Person or "group" (within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission as in effect on the date hereof) acting in concert (other than by Class A Shareholders) acquiring beneficial ownership, of 30% or more of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Administrative Borrower; or (c) during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Administrative Borrower cease to be composed of individuals (A) who were members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of the Administrative Borrower on the first day of such period, (B) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (A) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body, or (C) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body.

" Maturity Date " shall mean March 31, 2021, or such earlier date as payment of the Loans shall be due (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
b.              The definition of "Required Lenders" in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by replacing "$50,000,000" in each of clauses (i) and (ii) therein with "$60,000,000".
