Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Good morning, IV, Ken and Mary Beth and Tommy.
I first, I definitely wanted to congratulate you guys on what is I think a very solid quarter given the sequential growth in both segments in what is
a challenging environment for sure, better margins in the post-trade and the progress that you guys have demonstrated with the restructuring
initiatives?
I guess my first question would be about the cadence of business over the quarter and the last few weeks. Given the very strong sequential growth
that you guys had, how does that play out across both the Upholstery and mattress?
Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Great. Thank you for that. I definitely want to dig in a bit on the restructuring. First, maybe a question for Ken. Could you talk a little bit about where
the savings from that original $8 million estimate for the restructuring are coming from?
Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Well, I mean, I was going to ask about the anticipated savings to, but I was specifically asking about the difference from the $8 million to the $5.1
million for the restructuring costs.
Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Right. And thank you very much for that. That's helpful. As is the original comments on how those cost savings are going to play out? I kind of
wanted to step back maybe a little bit and ask kind of a bigger picture on, how the restructuring is really going to change the business model for
CHF?
In terms of like what percentage of your product is going to be produced in-house versus what percentage of the product is going to be in that
strategic sourcing model that you guys have talked about, which is more similar to a post-trade. And then as investors look at that, how should
they think about how that change is going to impact in margins and the economics of the business?

Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Yeah, no, that's incredibly helpful. Thank you IV. I have one more question, and I guess this would be for Mary Beth. on hospitality. It looks like it's
continuing to grow quite nicely. I was hoping you might be able to give us a little bit more color on what's driving the growth of that business and
where you see this going from here?
Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Thank you for that. I think you brought up a point which I hadn't fully realized before that, that gives you guys effectively a little bit more exposure
to the experience economy, dependence on what's happening with the residential furniture per se. So I think that's an exciting point to highlight.
So thank you.
Question: Brian Gordon - Water Tower Research - Analyst
: Thank you. And I'll turn over the call to anyone else who might have a question. So thank you.
