Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 22, 2023, La-Z-Boy Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a news release to report the Company’s financial results for the fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2023. A copy of the news release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company made a voluntary change to the presentation of costs directly attributable to our distribution activities conducted through our distribution centers in the United States. Our policy has changed from presenting these costs within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense to presenting them as cost of sales. We believe this presentation is preferable because it will enhance the comparability of our financial statements with those of our industry peers and align with how we internally manage supply chain costs and margin.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the periods presented below have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the change to cost of sales and SG&A expense. This change had no impact to sales, income from operations, net income, earnings per share, retained earnings or other components of equity or net assets for any of the periods presented below.
