MillerKnoll misses Q1 revenue target with $926.6M as severe weather disrupts retail sales

MillerKnoll missed first-quarter expectations, with revenue of $926.6 million falling short of the $942 million analyst estimate. The company attributed the underperformance primarily to severe winter weather, which reduced retail traffic and temporarily closed stores, particularly affecting its North America Retail segment. CEO Andi Owen noted that operational disruptions also impacted manufacturing facilities. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.43, below the $0.45 estimate, whilst adjusted EBITDA of $91.1 million missed the $93.74 million forecast. Management provided cautious guidance for the second quarter, with revenue expected at $975 million and adjusted EPS at $0.52, both below analyst estimates of $993.2 million and $0.61 respectively. The company's market capitalisation stands at $988.7 million.

MillerKnoll shares plunge 20% as Middle East conflict pressures outlook with $8M-9M hit

MillerKnoll shares plunged over 20% on Thursday after the furniture maker issued a disappointing forecast for the current quarter, citing impacts from the Middle East conflict. The company expects an $8 million to $9 million hit due to minimal shipments to the region and higher logistics costs. MillerKnoll forecast quarterly sales of $955 million to $995 million and adjusted earnings per share of 49 cents to 55 cents, both well below analyst expectations. CFO Kevin Veltman cited higher fuel prices and plans to send only a minimal portion of $12 million in Middle East orders. The company's third-quarter revenue reached $926.6 million with adjusted earnings of 43 cents per share, both slightly missing expectations. Thursday's decline pushed MillerKnoll shares into negative territory for the year.
