Herman Miller, Inc. , the global designer and furniture manufacturer, announced today it acquired a 33 percent equity interest in Nine United Denmark A\/S (HAY) for $66 million. The transaction expands Herman Miller\u2019s portfolio of leading global brands and allows the company to scale its consumer business, accessing a growing customer base that prioritizes both industry-leading design and value. Herman Miller also acquired the rights to the HAY brand in North America for approximately $5 million. The company has the option to increase its ownership stake in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hay is a leading design company in Europe<\/h4>\n

Founded in Copenhagen in 2002 by Troels Holch Povlsen and Rolf and Mette Hay, the company is a leader in ancillary furnishings in Europe and Asia, and active in both the contract and residential furnishing markets. Over the course of the coming year, HAY\u2019s goods will be available through Herman Miller\u2019s Design Within Reach channels. Herman Miller will launch an on-line store, as well as open four HAY retail locations in North America. HAY products will also be integrated into the offer to Herman Miller\u2019s North American and International Dealers.<\/p>\n

HAY\u2019s proven success as a fast-growing global company, and its deep catalog of high-quality, well-designed furniture and accessories makes it a welcome and transformative addition to Herman Miller\u2019s family of brands. HAY extends Herman Miller\u2019s global reach and dramatically expands the company\u2019s offering of furnishings and accessories for the home, contract, and hospitality markets.<\/p>\n

‘Scale our consumer business’<\/h4>\n
\"\"
Brian Walker – CEO Herman Miller – LinkedIn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cHAY is one of the best articulated design brands in the furnishings space,<\/em>\u201d said Herman Miller CEO Brian Walker. \u201cHAY is a key building block toward our stated priority to scale our consumer business. The HAY assortment will significantly expand our offer to a younger, more urban demographic that we have targeted for expansion.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker continued: \u201cWith more workplaces and commercial spaces adopting a residential feel, the opportunity to offer quality designs at an attainable price point is only expanding. Adding HAY\u2019s considerable stable of products to our ancillary offer further cements Herman Miller\u2019s ability to deliver excellent design to customers regardless of budget or what kind of space they\u2019re outfitting<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shared sense of purpose and values<\/h4>\n

\u201cHerman Miller is the perfect partner to expand HAY\u2019s position in North America,<\/em>\u201d said Rolf Hay, co-founder of HAY. \u201cOn a personal level, Herman Miller and the work of Charles and Ray Eames are big reasons I do what I do today, and I am excited to align with a company that shares our sense of purpose and values.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire existing management team led by CEO Henrik Steensgaard will continue driving the HAY brand, its product development, and its efforts in Europe and Asia from their headquarters in Denmark. CEO Henrik Steensgaard will report to a new HAY Board of Directors chaired by Troels Holch Povlsen.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to join Troels Holch Povlsen and Rolf Hay as co-owners of the company,<\/em>\u201d said Jeremy Hocking, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, Herman Miller. \u201cAnd we\u2019re also delighted that Rolf and Mette Hay will maintain their current creative and leadership roles.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to its already formidable global presence and strong adoption across the world, HAY is a clear leader in delivering design-forward goods for modern living and work. With its new home in the Herman Miller family of brands, consumers, distributors, and specifiers will soon see why HAY has been a runaway success across the globe.<\/p>\n

Revenue of Hay expected to total $ 155 mln<\/h4>\n

The company expects to reflect its share of HAY\u2019s operating results within equity earnings from non-consolidated affiliates going forward. Forecast revenue for HAY\u2019s current fiscal year that ends in July 2018 is expected to total approximately $155 million. On a GAAP basis, this transaction is expected to be between $0.02 and $0.04 accretive to earnings per share in fiscal 2019. This amount includes estimated expenses of $0.02 per share from certain purchase accounting adjustments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
