The details

Haverty reported fourth-quarter net sales of $201.9 million, up 9.5%, with comparable-store sales up 8.2%. However, the company recorded $3.9 million in LIFO charges, which impacted gross margin. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 6.3% but improved as a percentage of sales. The company cited higher selling, occupancy, and administrative costs. Pre-tax income increased to $10.8 million, up from $9.6 million a year earlier.
