Atlanta, Georgia, August 4, 2026 – Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (NYSE: HVT and HVT.A), today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 versus Second Quarter 2025:

Steven G. Burdette, President and CEO said, "Our second quarter results reflect the sustained momentum in our business, marked by a fourth consecutive quarter of written, delivered and comp-store sales growth. We posted a strong Memorial Day weekend performance, with average tickets up double-digits. Gross margins expanded to 61.4%, which included the benefit of approximately $1.5 million in IEEPA tariff refunds.

We also advanced our strategic growth initiatives with the openings of two stores, Fenton, Missouri and Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. We are on track to open five additional stores and complete one relocation, increasing our store count to 133 at year-end. Our upcoming entry into Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will extend our footprint to 18 states, consistent with our long-term growth strategy.

This quarter's results underscore our commitment to an exceptional customer experience and disciplined execution across the business. Our strong balance sheet and gross margins, strengthening design business, average-ticket growth, and investments in new markets give us confidence entering the second half of the year."
