LaZBoy Inc. (LZB) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2010-04-24.

Lazboy Inc. has a market cap of $634.53 million; its shares were traded at around $12.31 with a P/E ratio of 30.02 and P/S ratio of 0.52. LZB is in the portfolios of Chuck Royce of Royce& Associates, Steven Cohen of SAC Capital Advisors.

Highlight of Business Operations: During fiscal 2010 our accounts receivables increased by $17.2 million as a result of the positive sales trend in the second half of fiscal 2010. Additionally, economic conditions in fiscal 2009 resulted in increases to our allowance for bad debts of $10.4 million in fiscal 2009, thereby decreasing our net accounts receivable level for that period. During the second half of fiscal 2009, we experienced a sudden decrease in sales when compared to the second half of fiscal 2008. The sudden deterioration in economic conditions at that time affected the liquidity of some of our customers and their ability to pay outstanding past due balances, which resulted in our decision to record additional bad debt expense during the second half of fiscal 2009 and in the full fiscal 2009 year. Additionally, during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 we determined a portion of our receivables to be uncollectible and wrote them off against our provision for bad debts.
As of April 24, 2010, and April 25, 2009, Upholstery Group backlogs were approximately $65.5 million and $57.4 million, respectively. Our Casegoods Group backlogs as of April 24, 2010, and April 25, 2009, were approximately $19.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The increase in the Upholstery Group backlog from fiscal 2009 was due to our positive sales trend experienced in the second half of fiscal 2010. The
We also have a facility in Mexico which provides cut and sewn sets for our domestic upholstery manufacturing facilities. Information about sales in the United States and in Canada and other countries is contained in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements, which is included in Item 8 of this report. Our property, plant, and equipment in the United States were $123.4 million and $131.6 million at the end of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. The property, plant, and equipment in foreign countries was $15.5 million and $15.3 million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively.
