Leggett & Platt reported FY 2025 net trade sales of USD 4.1 billion (down 7%), with organic sales down 5% on a 6% volume decline, partially offset by raw material-related selling price increases and a 1% currency benefit. FY 2025 EBIT was USD 356 million, and net earnings were USD 235 million (USD 1.69 per diluted share). Cash from operations was USD 338 million, total debt was USD 1.5 billion, and cash and cash equivalents were USD 587 million at December 31, 2025. By segment in FY 2025, Bedding Products trade sales were USD 1.6 billion (down 11%) with EBIT of USD 99 million; Specialized Products trade sales were USD 1.1 billion (down 9%) with EBIT of USD 204 million; and Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products trade sales were USD 1.4 billion (down 1%) with EBIT of USD 79 million. Key FY 2025 updates included the divestiture of the Aerospace Products Group on August 29, 2025 for net cash proceeds of USD 280 million and a pretax gain of USD 91 million, with proceeds primarily used to reduce debt. The company also recorded a net insurance gain of USD 35 million related to a storage facility fire, and said its July 2025 credit agreement amendment extended maturity to 2030 while reducing lending commitments to USD 1.0 billion. Separately, Leggett & Platt disclosed it received an unsolicited all-stock acquisition proposal from Somnigroup in December 2025, incurred USD 3 million in related evaluation costs through year-end, and later publicly declined the offer in January 2026 while entering a non-disclosure agreement and six-month standstill to facilitate due diligence.
