Haverty Furniture Companies operates Havertys stores across the Southern and Midwestern United States, serving mainly middle- to upper-middle-income households furnishing their homes. It buys from outside manufacturers and importers rather than making the furniture itself; virtually all its furniture carries the Havertys brand.
Most customers start by researching online, then visit a store to see and try products. Sales staff and free design consultations, including home visits, help customers choose furnishings. Customers pay for merchandise and usually choose paid home delivery, which Havertys’ own teams perform, including placement and assembly. Its website supports this store-led business, and online furniture orders are limited to its delivery network.
The business depends on choosing furniture that matches customers’ tastes and keeping it available for timely delivery. Much of its furniture is produced abroad, so supplier pricing, import tariffs and reliable manufacturing and transport affect the cost and availability of what it sells.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Ethan Allen competes with Havertys for households buying customizable furniture, with both offering free interior design and home delivery. Watch Ethan Allen’s customizable furniture sales for a read on demand for the furniture-and-design offering Havertys also sells.
Arhaus, Inc. competes with Havertys for style-conscious households buying furniture and décor through stores and online. Its premium home-furnishings sales offer a comparison for demand among the more affluent customers Havertys serves.
Bobs Discount Furniture, Inc. competes with Havertys for living-room, bedroom and dining-furniture buyers in overlapping U.S. Midwest and Southern store markets, but emphasizes lower prices. Its everyday-low-price offering contrasts with Havertys’ focus on generally more affluent households.
RH competes with Havertys for customers buying curated furniture and décor with interior-design services, but sells at a more luxurious price tier. Its luxury home-furnishings sales provide a higher-end comparison rather than a direct match for Havertys’ middle- to upper-middle-income households.
The Lovesac Company’s premium customizable sectional furniture competes with Havertys’ upholstered furniture, which generated 44.5% of Havertys’ net sales in 2025. Watch sales of Sactionals, its sofas built from configurable seats and sides, for a comparison in this important Havertys category.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. earningsThis company
Havertys’ comparable-store sales and gross margin will show whether customer demand can support sales without promotions and merchandise costs eroding profitability.
Read comparable-store sales alongside gross margin. Stronger sales with a steady margin would indicate that customers are buying enough, and that promotions, merchandise costs and product mix are not taking too much from the profit on each sale. Weaker sales, or a falling margin, would point to soft demand or to the cost of winning sales squeezing merchandise profit. Together, the figures show whether Havertys’ sales growth has a sound profit base.
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc earningsETD
Ethan Allen’s customizable-furniture sales will give a direct read on demand for the customizable, design-supported offering Havertys also sells.
Watch the direction of Ethan Allen’s customizable-furniture sales, not the companies’ sales totals against each other. Stronger sales would suggest customers are still spending on furniture they can tailor and the design help that goes with it, a supportive sign for Havertys’ similar offer. Weaker sales would point to softer demand for that kind of offer, but would not by itself prove Havertys is also declining. The report indicates which way demand for their shared furniture-and-design proposition is moving.
Bobs Discount Furniture, Inc. earningsBOBS
Bobs Discount Furniture’s sales will show whether furniture buyers in markets it shares with Havertys are responding to its lower-price offer.
Watch Bobs Discount Furniture’s sales and any discussion of demand for its lower-priced offer. Stronger sales would suggest that its prices are attracting furniture buyers, making it harder for Havertys to hold customers in overlapping markets or reducing its room to avoid promotions. Weaker sales would soften that competitive signal, but would not show that those customers chose Havertys instead. The report indicates how much the lower-price offer matters in their contest for furniture buyers.
The Lovesac Company earningsLOVE
The Lovesac Company’s Sactionals sales will offer a focused demand read for upholstered furniture, Havertys’ largest disclosed merchandise category.
Watch the direction of The Lovesac Company’s Sactionals sales as a signal for configurable sectionals, not as a dollar-for-dollar comparison with all of Havertys’ upholstery sales. Stronger sales would suggest demand is holding up for this type of upholstered seating, a supportive read for a major part of Havertys’ business. Weaker sales would point to cooling demand in that niche, but need not mean Havertys’ broader assortment is moving the same way. The report shows the direction of demand for this specific upholstery category.
