MillerKnoll reports Q3 adjusted EPS 44c, consensus 44c

Reports Q3 revenue $ 876.2M, consensus $918.88M. Management stated, “Our results in Q3 of FY25 reflect the advantage of our diversified business model, with strong performance in certain markets and channels mitigating softness in others, along with a disciplined focus on our cost structure amidst very dynamic macroeconomic conditions. During the quarter we saw a notable difference in demand in our retail businesses compared to most of our contract businesses. Leading indicators within our contract businesses are mixed, and overall demand in most geographies was sluggish during the quarter amid uncertainty related to tariff policy and other macroeconomic factors. At the same time, we are buoyed by the strong demand in our Global Retail business where reported orders were up nearly 15%, organic orders were up nearly 17%, and organic orders adjusted for the year-over-year timing differences in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday period were up over 4% in Q3. We were particularly pleased with Retail demand in North America where cyber adjusted orders were up 14% in the quarter…Our earnings in the quarter met our expectations despite these challenges. Given the near-term economic uncertainty around tariffs and global supply chain, we took proactive steps to improve our near-term profitability”.
