For the fiscal first quarter of 2025, MillerKnoll reported earnings of $0.36 per share, significantly missing analysts' consensus estimate of $0.42 per share by a margin of 14.29%. The company's revenue for the quarter also fell short, coming in at $861.5 million, compared to Wall Street's expectations of $889.3 million.
MillerKnoll's CEO Andrea Owen acknowledged the impact of a tepid housing market on the company's Retail segment, which saw orders decline by 4.7% year-over-year. Additionally, the company cited a shift in business and product mix as a factor weighing on its overall gross margin performance during the quarter.
