"We are pleased with our strong execution and solid profit improvement for the fourth quarter and full year 2011. Our growth investments delivered top-line improvement across all businesses in the quarter, and outstanding working capital results drove significant cash generation. Office furniture sales growth was led by strong performance in our contract and international businesses. Hearth sales benefited from improved conditions in new home construction and high energy prices.

Fourth Quarter Results – Continuing Operations
- Consolidated net sales increased $34.1 million or 7.3 percent from the prior year quarter to $500.3 million. The acquisition of Sagus contributed $8.2 million, or 1.8 percentage points of sales.
- Gross margins were 0.4 percentage points higher than prior year quarter primarily due to higher volume and better price realization offset partially by increased material costs.
- Total selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales, including restructuring charges, improved 1.2 percentage points from the prior year quarter due to higher volume, lower restructuring charges and a non-operating gain partially offset by increased fuel costs, higher incentive based compensation and costs associated with the new acquisition.
- The Corporation's fourth quarter results included $1.0 million of restructuring and transition costs of which $0.2 million were included in cost of sales. This represented $1.4 million associated with shutdown and consolidation of office furniture manufacturing locations net of a $0.4 million non-operating gain on the sale of property. Included in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $7.1 million of restructuring, impairment and transition costs.

- Fourth quarter and full year sales for the office furniture segment increased $27.6 million and $123.1 million, respectively. These increases were driven by an increase in the supplies driven channel and a more substantial increase in the contract and international channels of the office furniture industry. Acquisitions contributed $8.2 million or 2.2 percentage points in the fourth quarter and $8.2 million or 0.6 percentage points for the full year.
- Fourth quarter and full year operating profit increased $7.6 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Operating profit was positively impacted by increased volume, better price realization and lower restructuring, transition and impairment expenses. These were partially offset by higher input costs, investments in selling and growth initiatives and higher incentive-based compensation expense.
