Item 8.01 Other Events.
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the "Company") is making this filing to update the presentation of certain financial information and related disclosures contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K") to reflect the change, as of January 1, 2017, in the composition of its segments and the recognition of LIFO reserve and related expenses/benefit within the segments to which it relates.
The new segment structure is largely the same as prior years except the Home Furniture Group moved from Residential Products to Furniture Products (formerly Commercial Products) and the Machinery Group moved from Specialized Products to Residential Products.  We have four operating segments that supply a wide range of products:
•
Residential Products:
This segment supplies a variety of components and machinery used by bedding manufacturers in the production and assembly of their finished products. We also produce or distribute carpet cushion, fabric, and geo components.
•
Industrial Products:
These operations primarily supply steel rod and drawn steel wire to our other operations and to external customers. Our customers use this wire to make mechanical springs, and many other end products.
•
Furniture Products:
Operations in this segment supply a wide range of components for residential and work furniture manufacturers, as well as select lines of private-label finished furniture, adjustable bed bases, fashion beds, and bed frames.
•
Specialized Products:
From this segment we supply lumbar support systems, seat suspension systems, motors and actuators, and control cables used by automotive manufacturers. We also produce and distribute tubing and tube assemblies for the aerospace industry.
In addition, the changes in LIFO reserve are now recognized within the segments to which they relate (primarily Industrial Products). Previously segment EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) reflected the FIFO basis of accounting for certain inventories and an adjustment to the LIFO basis for these inventories was made at the consolidated financial statement level. These changes were retrospectively applied to all periods presented. The methods and assumptions that we use in estimating our LIFO reserve did not change.
The exhibits to this Form 8-K supersede the following items in the 2016 Form 10-K to reflect, retrospectively, the changes resulting from the items discussed above for all periods presented:
•
Item 1. Revised Description of Business
•
Item 2. Revised Properties
•
Item 7. Revised Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
•
Item 15. Revised Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules (including but not limited to revisions to Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; Note B – Discontinued Operations, Assets Held for Sale, and Other Divestitures; Note C – Impairment Charges; Note D – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; Note E – Segment Information; and Note Q – Acquisitions.
The information related to the effects of the change in composition of reportable segments and change in LIFO reserve now being recognized within the segments to which they relate contained in this Form 8-K

supersedes what was in the 2016 Form 10-K. All other information, including unrelated forward looking statements, in the 2016 Form 10-K remains unchanged and has not been otherwise updated for events occurring after the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K. These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to: expected levels of cash from operations and expected levels of capital expenditures. For developments since the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K, please refer to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017, as well as other filings the Company files with the SEC. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K and such subsequent filings.
