<H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=4>LA-Z-BOY UPDATES
GUIDANCE  </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>MONROE, MI. October 18,
2005&#151;Following its recent release regarding supply chain issues and their impact to
earnings, La-Z-Boy Incorporated <B>(NYSE, PCX: LZB)</B> today announced that sales for the
second quarter ending October 29, 2005 are expected to be down in the low teen-digit range
versus last year&#146;s second quarter and down from the low single-digit range decrease
originally forecasted. La-Z-Boy expects to post a per share loss in the range of $0.17 to
$0.21, including $0.09 to $0.10 per share of a previously announced restructuring
charge. Prior to its decision to incur the related restructuring charge and close its
Waterloo, Ontario plant, and before the supply chain issue arose, the company had said it
expected to post quarterly earnings per share of $0.17 to $0.21. During last year&#146;s
second fiscal quarter, La-Z-Boy earned $0.15 per share from continuing operations. Both of
these periods include the results of VIEs (Variable Interest Entities). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>La-Z-Boy President and CEO Kurt
Darrow said, &#147;Our results for the quarter are being impacted by three factors. The
first is an industry-wide supply chain issue primarily relating to the allocation of
polyurethane foam, which limits our production efficiency, increases our raw materials
costs, and constrains our ability to meet customer demand. Second, our forecasted sales
decline, in addition to our supply chain issues, has been further impacted by an even
slower than anticipated retail environment than when we issued our original forecast. This
is attributable to the substantial drop in consumer confidence following Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita as well as continued interest rate increases and high energy prices. And,
finally, our earnings will be reduced by the previously announced restructuring charge
associated with the closure of our Waterloo upholstery plant. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;For the quarter, we expect to
see the largest portion of our sales decline in the upholstery business with about half
stemming from supply chain issues and the remainder due to soft market conditions. The
supply chain issues are due to the shortage of polyurethane foam after our main supplier
put its customers on 50 percent allocation due to the industry-wide shortage of TDI
(toluene diisocyanate), a key component of foam. We are encouraged that all four of the
country&#146;s TDI plants are back in operation following surrounding-area hurricane
damage and we understand they will begin producing at full capacity shortly. In the
meantime, we continue to work diligently with our foam suppliers to source the greatest
amount possible. Since upholstery is our predominant segment, the supply chain issues have
magnified our overall expected sales and operating income shortfall. We continue to make
significant progress in our casegoods business, although we expect it to be impacted
somewhat by the current retail environment.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Darrow concluded, &#147;Given the
series of unlikely events this quarter, including tornado damage to our wood parts
facility in Newton, Mississippi, we have scaled down our production accordingly and are
focused on cost cutting and expense control. Importantly, we continue to be in constant
communication with our customers regarding deliveries and the inevitable price adjustments
that will result from increases in raw material costs. The situation with TDI remains
fluid but appears to be stabilizing and indications are that we should see weekly
improvement in the supply of polyurethane allowing us to gradually increase our
production. With a steady build in our backlogs and the concurrent improvement in poly
supplies, we would expect the volume losses we experienced in October due to supply issues
will be recovered in the third quarter as our retail partners replenish their inventories.
We will update the investment community on the status of TDI and poly when we release our
second-quarter numbers next month.&#148; </FONT></P>

$0.21, including $0.09 to $0.10 per share of a previously announced restructuring
charge. Prior to its decision to incur the related restructuring charge and close its
Waterloo, Ontario plant, and before the supply chain issue arose, the company had said it
expected to post quarterly earnings per share of $0.17 to $0.21. During last year's
second fiscal quarter, La-Z-Boy earned $0.15 per share from continuing operations. Both of
these periods include the results of VIEs (Variable Interest Entities).
La-Z-Boy President and CEO Kurt
Darrow said, "Our results for the quarter are being impacted by three factors. The
first is an industry-wide supply chain issue primarily relating to the allocation of
polyurethane foam, which limits our production efficiency, increases our raw materials
costs, and constrains our ability to meet customer demand. Second, our forecasted sales
decline, in addition to our supply chain issues, has been further impacted by an even
slower than anticipated retail environment than when we issued our original forecast. This
is attributable to the substantial drop in consumer confidence following Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita as well as continued interest rate increases and high energy prices. And,
finally, our earnings will be reduced by the previously announced restructuring charge
associated with the closure of our Waterloo upholstery plant.
"For the quarter, we expect to
see the largest portion of our sales decline in the upholstery business with about half
stemming from supply chain issues and the remainder due to soft market conditions. The
supply chain issues are due to the shortage of polyurethane foam after our main supplier
put its customers on 50 percent allocation due to the industry-wide shortage of TDI
(toluene diisocyanate), a key component of foam. We are encouraged that all four of the
country's TDI plants are back in operation following surrounding-area hurricane
damage and we understand they will begin producing at full capacity shortly. In the
meantime, we continue to work diligently with our foam suppliers to source the greatest
amount possible. Since upholstery is our predominant segment, the supply chain issues have
magnified our overall expected sales and operating income shortfall. We continue to make
significant progress in our casegoods business, although we expect it to be impacted
somewhat by the current retail environment."
Darrow concluded, "Given the
series of unlikely events this quarter, including tornado damage to our wood parts
facility in Newton, Mississippi, we have scaled down our production accordingly and are
focused on cost cutting and expense control. Importantly, we continue to be in constant
communication with our customers regarding deliveries and the inevitable price adjustments
that will result from increases in raw material costs. The situation with TDI remains
fluid but appears to be stabilizing and indications are that we should see weekly
improvement in the supply of polyurethane allowing us to gradually increase our
production. With a steady build in our backlogs and the concurrent improvement in poly
supplies, we would expect the volume losses we experienced in October due to supply issues
will be recovered in the third quarter as our retail partners replenish their inventories.
We will update the investment community on the status of TDI and poly when we release our
second-quarter numbers next month."
La-Z-Boy plans to report its 2006
fiscal second quarter operating results after the market close on Tuesday, November 15,
2005, with its regular quarterly investor conference call the following morning,
Wednesday, November 16, 2005, at 8:30 a.m. EST.
