The Corporation experienced a net loss of ($11.9) million or ($0.27) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $4.0 million or $0.09 per diluted share in first quarter
First quarter sales for the office furniture segment decreased 27.5 percent or $128.2 million to $337.9 million from $466.0 million for the same quarter last year driven by substantial weakness in all channels of the office furniture industry. Acquisitions contributed $10.2 million or 2.2 percentage points of sales. Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses decreased $18.2 million to $0.5 million as a result of lower organic volume and higher material costs. These were partially offset by price realization, contributions from acquisitions, cost control initiatives and lower variable compensation expense.
First quarter net sales for the hearth products segment decreased 30.4 percent or $29.6 million to $67.8 million from $97.4 million for the same quarter last year driven by significant declines in both the new construction and remodel-retrofit channels. Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses decreased $8.6 million to a $11.4 million loss due to lower volume, higher material costs and restructuring expenses partially offset by price increases and cost reduction initiatives.
Cash generated from operating activities in the first quarter 2009 totaled $5.6 million compared to $2.0 million generated in first quarter 2008. Improved working capital performance resulted in a $6.1 million use of cash in the current fiscal year compared to $25.5 million use of cash in the prior year.
Capital expenditures including capitalized software for the first three months of fiscal 2009 were $4.6 million compared to $17.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2008 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products. For the full year 2009, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $30 million due to new product development and related tooling.

Highlight of Business Operations:
As a result of challenging market conditions and the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies, management made the decision to close an office furniture facility located in South Gate, California and consolidate production into its Cedartown, Georgia and Muscatine, Iowa facilities. The Corporation's first quarter 2009 results include $3.0 million of severance costs in connection with the South Gate shutdown. The Corporation anticipates additional restructuring charges of approximately $7.2 million related to this shutdown during the remainder of 2009. The Corporation also recorded $2.1 million of restructuring costs due to the disposition and consolidation of five hearth retail and distribution locations during the first quarter of 2009.The Corporation experienced a net loss of ($11.9) million or ($0.27) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $4.0 million or $0.09 per diluted share in first quarter
