ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Forward-Looking Information
Certain information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains, and other reports or materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company or its management), contain or will contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of such statements in this report include descriptions of our plans with respect to new store openings and relocations, our plans to enter new markets and expectations relating to our continuing growth. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Such statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in the Company’s forward-looking statements: the ability to maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with key suppliers (including domestic and international sourcing); conditions affecting the availability and affordability of retail real estate sites; the ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified associates to staff corporate positions, existing and new stores and distribution facilities; general economic and financial market conditions, which affect consumer confidence and the spending environment for high ticket items; competition in the retail furniture industry; and changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, tax statutes or regulations.
General
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Havertys”) is a full-service home furnishings retailer. The Company operates 103 showrooms in 14 contiguous southern and central states. Havertys provides its customers with a wide selection of furniture and accessories primarily in the middle to upper-middle price ranges. As an added convenience to its customers, the Company offers financing through a revolving charge credit plan. The Company originated as a family business in 1885 in Atlanta, Georgia. Havertys has been a publicly held company since 1929, incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at 780 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30342.
Business Strategy
The Company serves a target customer in the middle to upper-middle income ranges. Havertys has attracted this discriminating and demanding consumer by focusing on what it believes are the key elements of furniture retailing: stores, merchandise value and selection, product and image oriented advertising, and customer service. The Company has made investments in technology to improve operating efficiencies and investments in new retail stores. Havertys plans to continue to expand into new markets and strengthen its position in its current market areas utilizing existing and planned distribution infrastructure.

Stores
As of December 31, 2001, the Company operated 103 stores serving 68 cities in 14 states. Havertys has executed a program of remodeling and expanding showrooms and replacing older smaller stores in growth markets with new larger stores. Accordingly, the number of retail locations has increased by only thirteen since the year ended 1994, but total square footage has increased approximately 49%. During 2001, the Company opened a newly constructed store in an existing market and remodeled a former furniture store also in an existing market. In addition, one small store was replaced with a new leased store. The Company also closed its two La-Z-Boy stores and three other stores. The new stores were opened in the first and third quarters of 2001 and the replacement store opened during the third quarter. The store closings occurred primarily in the second and third quarters. The Company opened two newly constructed stores during 2000 in two existing markets. The Company remodeled two former retail furniture stores, opening one in a new market and one as a replacement store. During 2000, the Company also closed two small stores and added one smaller store. Four of the new stores were opened during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the other was opened near the end of the third quarter.
During 2002, Havertys will lease and remodel nine former Homelife retail stores thereby entering two new major markets, two smaller markets and replacing two stores in existing markets. In the new markets, Havertys will open one new store each in Clearwater and Daytona, Florida, three stores in Orlando and two in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The replacement stores will serve the Pensacola, Florida and Richmond, Virginia markets. In addition to the Homelife stores, the Company will open another metro Atlanta store in Fayetteville, Georgia in February and relocate one of its Dallas/Fort Worth stores in the fourth quarter. Net selling space in 2002 should increase by 8.3% or approximately 292,000 square feet.
Merchandising
The Company is able to tailor its merchandise presentation to the needs and tastes of the local markets. Havertys offers many well-known brand names of furniture, such as Broyhill, Thomasville, Lane/Action, La-Z-Boy, Bernhardt, and Clayton Marcus. The Company prefers to carry multiple lines of furniture in order to offer the consumer broad product choices at good values. These include many key items and groups from well known, quality suppliers who have established somewhat less consumer brand awareness. All five regional managers are included in Havertys’ buying team, and their input allows each store to present a product mix that is roughly 20 to 25 percent regionalized. Each local market manager can select from region specific items that are attractive to consumers in their particular metropolitan area. These managers are also responsible for pricing in their respective markets, with the exception of specific items that are advertised chain-wide. Havertys can therefore be competitively priced in each market while maintaining attractive gross margins.
The merchandising team develops a broad selection of merchandise for its customers at values targeted to their income levels. Management has avoided utilizing lower, promotional price-driven merchandise favored by many national chains, which management believes gives Havertys a unique position for a large retailer. The Company purchases approximately 60% of its merchandise from ten vendors and believes that adequate merchandise sources are available to the Company. Combined with the movement to regional merchandising and warehousing and the implementation of a centralized information system, the Company has significant purchasing power with its vendors.
Although it has only an estimated 1% national market share of the highly-fragmented furniture retailing market, Havertys is becoming an important customer to the largest furniture manufacturers due to its consistent track record of profitable, controlled growth and reputable customer service.
3
In February 1998, the Company and Furniture Brands International (“Furniture Brands”) announced a strategic alliance whereby the Company would allocate up to 50% of its retail square footage, excluding bedding display, to products supplied by Furniture Brands. Furniture Brands’ lines include widely recognized brands such as Broyhill, Lane, and Thomasville. Because of the alliance, the Company has received increased service support to each of its five regional or metropolitan area distribution centers and is allowed certain priorities in selecting new products.
During 2000, the Company began selling merchandise that bears the Havertys brand. These items were developed primarily with manufacturers whose names do not carry the same level of customer awareness as Havertys. These products are sold exclusively by the Company in its markets and generally carry a modestly higher gross margin. This better return is useful in offsetting the somewhat lower gross margins typically associated with higher-end merchandise sold under well known manufacturer brands. At the end of 2000, Havertys branded product represented approximately 10% of items selected for inclusion in the Company’s core assortment and has increased to approximately 25% at the end of 2001. This merchandise assisted the Company in protecting its profitability during a slowing economy in 2001 by allowing less emphasis to be placed on more promotional activities.
Revenues
The following table sets forth the approximate percentage contributions by product or service to the Company’s gross revenues for the past three years:

Distribution
The Company uses a regional warehouse distribution network to provide central receiving points from vendors and distribution of product to local market warehouses. Havertys has three regional warehouses operating in Charlotte, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; and Ocala, Florida. The regional warehouses serve all of the Company’s local markets except for Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, each of which has a metropolitan area warehouse. Havertys has implemented EDI and just-in-time delivery systems with its major vendors, and the Company uses a software system which allows management to forecast inventory requirements and reorder merchandise in an efficient manner. The combination of enhanced information systems, just-in-time delivery practices and close coordination with vendors has substantially reduced the need to carry inventory in local market warehouses. The market area warehouses are primarily used as prepping centers and cross-dock locations for local deliveries.
4
The Company will be consolidating the Atlanta and Charlotte regional warehouses into a new distribution center in Braselton, Georgia. This new facility is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2002. In connection with this opening, the Company will be using its successfully tested remote home delivery methods to the markets in the six states which this facility will serve. This method will involve assembling and prepping merchandise at the Braselton facility or two satellite home delivery centers, then loading home delivery trailers and shuttling them overnight to twenty market areas where local drivers will start their daily routes. The new home delivery centers are scheduled to open in late 2002 and early 2004. Operating in this fashion, Management expects to reduce inventory and warehousing costs and maintain the quick delivery that Havertys’ customers expect.
Credit Operations
As a service to its customers, Havertys offers a revolving charge credit plan with credit limits determined through its on-line credit approval system. Havertys Credit Services, Inc. (“Havertys Credit”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc., was formed in 1996 to consolidate this function. Management believes that Havertys gains certain advantages over its primary competitors by controlling credit approval and the quality of customer relations rather than outsourcing these functions. Havertys Credit currently maintains a receivables portfolio of approximately $193 million, before deducting reserves.
Havertys Credit typically requires a 15% down payment and offers financing over 12 to 48 months, with an average term of 15 months. The standard (non-promotional) credit service charge rate currently ranges from 18% to 21% per annum (except for 6.5% in Arkansas), but will vary in the future depending on market conditions and state laws. Havertys Credit offers a lower credit service charge rate for individual purchases of over $3,000, and the Company also routinely offers various interest-free periods (typically four to 12 months) as part of promotional campaigns. The financing program chosen most frequently by the Company’s customers is a 12 month, no interest and 12 equal payments promotion which represented approximately 54% of financed 2001 sales. The program, which allows for deferred payment periods of up to 6 months and no interest, accounted for approximately 15% of financed 2001 sales. The amount financed under the Company’s credit programs, as a percent of net sales was 46% in both 2001 and 2000 as customers continued their usage of third party credit cards and cash. Over the last four years, credit service charge revenue has declined as the Company has offered longer free interest periods in its financing promotions and began offering the most appealing programs on a continuous basis. As a result, fewer customers have had to pay credit service charges and “free interest” receivables have risen. These combined factors resulted in an average interest yield of approximately 6.5% for 2001.
The Company made available to its customers, beginning in August 2001, a one year, no payment, no interest, same-as-cash credit promotion featuring deferred payment and an interest accrual for 12 months with accrued interest waived if the balance is paid in full at the end of the deferral period. Approximately $4.4 million of customers’ purchases (after down payments) was outsourced to a third party finance company in late 2001 under this program, and $5.4 million was financed in January 2002 (the first full month all of Havertys’ stores were outsourcing the program).
Management believes that its credit offers are a reasonable response to similar or more aggressive promotions advertised by competitors, which therefore reduced the need to emphasize off-price promotions to stimulate sales.
5
Competition
The retail sale of home furnishings is a highly fragmented and competitive business. The Company believes that the primary elements of competition in its industry are customer service, merchandise (quality, style, selection, price, and display), image and product oriented advertising and store location and design. The degree and source of competition varies by geographic area. The Company competes with numerous individual retail furniture stores as well as chains and the better department stores. Department stores benefit competitively from more established name recognition in specific markets, a larger customer base due to their non-furnishings product lines and proprietary credit cards.
The Company believes it has uniquely positioned itself in the marketplace with merchandise that appeals to customers who are somewhat more affluent than those of most other competitive furniture store chains. Management believes that this customer segment responds more cautiously to typical discount promotions and focuses on the real value and customer service offered by a retailer. The Company considers its experienced sales personnel and personalized customer service as important factors in its competitive success. Lastly, management believes its ability to make prompt delivery of orders through maintenance of inventory and to tailor the inventory to a store’s local market conditions provides additional competitive advantages. The Company currently ranks among the top ten in sales for full-service retail home furnishings store chains in the United States based on available industry data for 2000.
Employees
As of December 31, 2001, the Company employed approximately 3,720 employees: 3,416 in individual retail store operations, 159 in its corporate offices, 58 in its credit operations and 87 in its regional warehouses. No employee of the Company is a party to any union contract and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
