About Haverty Furniture Companies INC

Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (NYSE: HVT and NYSE: HVT.A) is a U.S.-listed home furnishings retailer focused on the residential market. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, and trades on the NYSE, placing it within the consumer-discretionary retail universe. Havertys was founded in 1885 by J.J. Haverty in downtown Atlanta, giving the business more than 140 years of operating history and a long-established brand identity in furniture retail. Today, the company operates 129 stores across 17 states, with its footprint concentrated in the Southern and Midwestern United States. ([havertys.com](https://www.havertys.com/about-havertys)) Havertys’ business model combines physical retail, e-commerce, and an integrated distribution and delivery network. The company sells a broad assortment of furniture, with virtually all of its core merchandise carrying the Havertys brand. Its product mix spans traditional to contemporary styles, and management actively localizes assortments to match regional preferences such as coastal, western, or urban looks. The company also sells nationally recognized mattress brands, including Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Stearns & Foster, Beautyrest, and Sealy. Key service differentiators include in-home design support, custom ordering capabilities, and timely home delivery supported by owned logistics assets.

The company operates three distribution centers and four home delivery centers, and management describes this network as a major competitive advantage in the furniture retail industry. That said, the business remains exposed to heavy competition from national, regional, and local home-furnishings retailers, as well as to housing-market conditions and consumer confidence, both of which materially influence demand for big-ticket discretionary purchases. Havertys serves customers across 22 states and the District of Columbia through its store network and delivery infrastructure. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/216085/000162828025010869/hvt-20241231.htm)) Recent operating updates suggest a gradual improvement in momentum. In the third quarter of 2025, Havertys reported consolidated sales of $194.5 million, up 10.6% year over year, and comparable-store sales growth of 7.1%. Management highlighted stronger Labor Day performance, double-digit growth in written and delivered sales, and the first quarter of positive written and delivered comp-store sales in several years. In the second quarter of 2025, the company also posted year-over-year sales growth for the first time since late 2022, while noting continued macro headwinds such as a soft housing market, low consumer confidence, and tariff uncertainty. Overall, the company appears operationally resilient, but its near-term outlook remains tied to the health of the U.S. housing and discretionary spending cycle.
