What the filing says about AI

5 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI, including generative and agentic commerce tools, as a possible change in how customers buy furniture, the risk of competitors adopting AI faster, and its own investments in AI tools across customer experience, operations and marketing.

• “The increasing use of artificial intelligence, including generative AI and autonomous or agentic commerce tools, may materially change how customers identify, evaluate, specify, purchase, and manage furniture and workplace solutions.”
• “If competitors, customers, dealers, suppliers, or other market participants adopt AI-enabled tools more quickly or effectively than we do, or if AI-enabled platforms disintermediate existing sales channels or influence purchasing decisions in ways that do not favor our brands, product portfolio, or pricing, our sales, margins, and customer relationships could be adversely affected.”
• “We are investing in technology and digital capabilities, and we may increase our use of AI tools in areas such as customer experience, product specification, operations, supply chain, marketing, data analytics, and other business processes.”
• “Our use of AI may also increase risks related to inaccurate or biased outputs, insufficient governance, data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, confidentiality, regulatory compliance, employee misuse, third-party tool availability, and reputational harm.”
• “If we do not responsibly and effectively adopt, integrate, and optimize AI capabilities, or if our governance and controls do not keep pace with evolving technology, customer expectations, or legal requirements, our business, results of operations, and reputation could be adversely affected.”
