Mentorship Program
Leggett & Platt reported second-quarter revenue of $999.7 million, beating analyst estimates of $982.9 million despite a 5.5% year-on-year decline. The manufacturing company's non-GAAP profit of $0.39 per share exceeded consensus estimates of $0.26 by 48.6%. The company's operating margin held steady at 8% compared to the same quarter last year. However, free cash flow margin declined to 2.5% from 7.1% year-on-year. President and CEO Karl Glassman attributed the improved adjusted earnings to disciplined execution and cost management, alongside favourable items not expected to recur. Analysts project revenue to decline 1.1% over the next 12 months. The stock dropped following the announcement despite beating revenue expectations.
Leggett Dynamics has launched its Mid-Class Massage System, a non-electronic innovation bringing premium massage features to vehicles beyond the luxury segment. The system, now in production with a global OEM, was shortlisted for the 2026 Auto Tech Partnership Award. The MCM uses a compact 30 x 35 mm module employing the Coandă effect, with no electronics or moving parts. This design reduces complexity and cost whilst enabling plug-and-play integration without requiring electronic revalidation, allowing OEMs to add comfort features to existing platforms quickly. The system's rapid transition from concept to production was enabled through early OEM collaboration. Leggett Dynamics showcased MCM at the Automotive Engineering Expo in Nagoya and will feature it at the Automotive Interiors Expo Europe in Stuttgart.
Leggett Dynamics launches Mid-Class Massage System & makes luxury comfort accessible on high-volume programs. June 22, 2026 4:03 AM Gift Article DETROIT, MI / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / Leggett Dynamics today launched its Mid-Class Massage System (MCM), a breakthrough non-electronic innovation that makes premium massage more accessible beyond the luxury vehicle segment. Now in production with a global OEM, MCM was also shortlisted for the 2026 Auto Tech Partnership Award for industry-leading innovation and collaboration. Breakthrough by Design MCM creates a distinctive massage experience with a compact 30 x 35 mm module that uses the Coandă effect, an air jet's natural tendency to follow a curved surface. With no electronics or moving parts, it reduces complexity and cost, making a premium experience accessible to more vehicle segments and consumers. Balancing Innovation, Speed and Cost "Automakers must balance innovation, speed and cost while consumers expect more personalized, affordable, premium experiences," said Julien Rea, VP of Global Innovation & Engineering at Leggett Dynamics. "Leggett Dynamics' Mid-Class Massage System redefines what's possible with a breakthrough approach that simplifies design, enables plug-and-play integration and makes premium comfort accessible to more vehicles beyond the luxury segment." As part of its Innovation Services, Leggett Dynamics generated early OEM interest with an advanced concept and launched a co-development program to validate technical feasibility, optimize performance, and align cost targets with market expectations. Accelerating Concept to Production MCM's rapid transition from concept to production was enabled by early collaboration and its stand-alone, non-electronic design. Unlike conventional systems, MCM can be integrated as an "island solution" in vehicle updates without requiring time-consuming and costly electronic revalidation. This helps OEMs quickly and easily add comfort content, even on platforms not originally designed with complex electronic architectures. Recognition for Innovation and Partnership MCM was shortlisted for the 2026 Automotive Tech Partnership Award, reflecting recognition for both breakthrough innovation and the power of close OEM collaboration. MCM is also under consideration for additional industry awards to be announced later this year. "Helping automakers balance cutting-edge innovation, speed, and cost is exactly why early co-development matters. When collaboration starts early, we can better align advanced concepts with cost targets and launch timing to bring differentiated user experiences to market faster and help OEMs compete more effectively," said Rea.

Leggett Dynamics launches Smart Brushless Motor & advances quiet, software-defined comfort & Motion. June 16, 2026 6:14 AM Gift Article Reduces Complexity & Cost, Improves Performance, Supports Next-Gen Architectures DETROIT, MI / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2026 / Leggett Dynamics today launched its Smart Brushless Motor, a next-generation motion system that simplifies design and vehicle integration, improves NVH and durability and supports evolving software architectures across seating and other motion-control applications. Less Complexity, More Capability Unlike conventional systems, Leggett Dynamics' Smart Brushless Motor can operate with or without a seat-level electronic control unit (ECU), enabling direct communication from the vehicle-level ECU to individual actuators. This streamlined approach supports the industry shift toward more centralized or zonal architectures and enables simplified, scalable integration across multiple seat configurations and trim levels with varying actuator counts. In addition, the motor's design reduces packaging size, weight, and wiring complexity while enhancing sound, durability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. Smarter Motion, Enhanced Comfort For vehicle occupants, these engineering gains translate into a better in-cabin experience. The Smart Brushless Motor enables quieter operation, smoother seat adjustment, faster memory recall, and a wider range of motion. The result is precise, reliable comfort and motion that feels responsive and refined in everyday use. "Leggett Dynamics' Smart Brushless Motor is about doing more with less: less components, less complexity, less weight and less noise while achieving more capability and more adaptability for manufacturers and more comfort and motion control for consumers," said Julien Rea, VP of Global Innovation & Engineering at Leggett Dynamics. The Smart Brushless Motor enters the market as OEMs transition to software-defined vehicles, centralize architectures, and pursue simplified and commonized hardware across platforms paired with software-enabled updates. It also addresses growing demand for quiet, scalable systems across mixed propulsion portfolios, particularly in EVs, where cabin quietness makes motor noise more apparent.
