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' report will show whether furniture sales are turning into profit despite promotional and cost pressures.
Read comparable-store sales alongside gross margin, then check whether income before taxes follows. Sales growth with steady gross margin and higher income before taxes would show that customers are buying more without promotions and merchandise costs eating away too much of the gain; weaker sales or margin, or income before taxes that does not improve with sales, would point to pressure from demand, pricing or the cost of serving customers. Gross margin excludes most store occupancy and delivery costs, so income before taxes shows whether sales and merchandise margins ultimately covered those expenses.
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc earningsETD
Ethan Allen's report on customizable-furniture sales will offer a read on demand for the furniture and design services it shares with Havertys.
Watch the direction of Ethan Allen's customizable-furniture sales alongside what the company says about demand for design services. Stronger sales would show that customers are still buying customizable furniture and design, supporting demand for an offering Havertys also sells; weaker sales would suggest those customers may be pulling back, putting the outlook for Havertys' furniture-and-design business under greater scrutiny.
Bobs Discount Furniture, Inc. earningsBOBS
Bob's Discount Furniture's report will show whether its lower-priced furniture is attracting buyers in the Southern and Midwestern markets it shares with Havertys.
Watch Bob's sales and what the company says about customer demand. Stronger sales would show that lower-priced furniture is drawing buyers in markets shared with Havertys, increasing the competitive pressure on Havertys to win those customers; weaker sales would soften that signal, but would not by itself prove that demand at Havertys is improving.
The Lovesac Company earningsLOVE
The Lovesac Company's Sactionals sales offer a demand comparison for upholstered furniture, Havertys' largest merchandise category.
Watch the direction of The Lovesac Company's Sactionals sales. These configurable sofas are not the same as Havertys' offerings, but both compete for customers choosing upholstered living-room furniture. Stronger sales would support demand for configurable sofas and offer a positive comparison for Havertys' largest category; weaker sales would put demand for upholstered furniture under closer watch, without proving that Havertys' sales will move by the same amount.
