Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
INTERIM PRESENTATION	INTERIM PRESENTATION The interim financial statements of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (“we”, “us” or “our”) included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for the periods presented. We have prepared the statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The December 31, 2017 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Reclassifications Due to required retrospective application, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's information in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations to conform to the 2018 presentation of "Cost of goods sold", "Selling and administrative expenses" and "Other (income) expense, net" for new accounting guidance associated with pension costs (see Note 2 - Accounting Standard Updates).

ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES

ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2018
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES	ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regularly issues updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU). Below is a summary of the ASUs, effective for current or future periods, most relevant to our financial statements. The FASB has issued accounting guidance, in addition to the items discussed below, effective for future periods which we do not believe will have a material impact on our future financial statements. Adopted in 2018: • On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) as discussed in Note 3. • ASU 2017-07 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”: This ASU requires employers to disaggregate the service cost from other components of net periodic benefit costs and to disclose the income statement line item in which each component is included. This guidance requires service costs to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs, and the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets and actuarial gains and losses) to be reported outside of operating income. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. Application was required on a retrospective basis and resulted in a reclassification of $1.9 and $.9 of expense from “Cost of goods sold” and “Selling and administrative expenses” into “Other (income) expense, net” for the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Refer to Note 11 for further information. • ASU 2018-05 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (SAB 118): This ASU allows SEC registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). We recognized the estimated income tax effects of the TCJA in accordance with SAB 118. Refer to Note 15 for further information. • ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”: We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and it did not materially impact our financial statements. To be adopted in future years: • ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842): Requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. We plan to adopt the standard as of the first quarter of 2019. We have assembled a cross-functional implementation team and are assessing all potential impacts of the standard. The implementation team has gathered the data required to account for leases under the new standard, and has selected a third-party lease accounting software. In addition, we continue to identify and implement the appropriate changes to business processes and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We believe our assets and liabilities will increase for the adoption of this standard through the recording of these right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. We continue to evaluate its impact on our statements of operations and cash flows. • ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”: This ASU is intended to simplify and clarify the accounting and disclosure requirements for hedging activities by more closely aligning the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. • ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”: This ASU provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recorded. The ASU will be effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and the provisions of the ASU should be applied in either the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. We are currently evaluating this guidance. • ASU 2017-04 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment": This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, the annual goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value up to the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. This ASU will be effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance, and do not expect it to materially impact our future financial statements. • ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326): This ASU is effective January 1, 2020 and amends the impairment model by requiring a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments including trade receivables. We are currently evaluating this guidance. However, we do not expect it to materially impact our future financial statements.

REVENUE

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE Initial adoption of new ASU On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as a $2.3 reduction to the opening balance of "Retained earnings". The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the new standard to be immaterial to our sales, net earnings, balance sheet and cash flows on an ongoing basis. Substantially all of our revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities or upon delivery to our customers' facilities. Topic 606 also provided clarity that resulted in reclassifications to or from "Net sales" and "Cost of goods sold". The cumulative effect of applying Topic 606 to our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet was as follows: Balance at December 31, 2017 as Previously Reported Topic 606 Adjustments Balance at January 1, 2018 Current assets $ 1,766.5 $ — $ 1,766.5 Net property, plant and equipment 663.9 — 663.9 Other assets 1 1,120.4 .7 1,121.1 Total assets $ 3,550.8 $ .7 $ 3,551.5 Other current liabilities 2 $ 88.7 $ 3.0 $ 91.7 All other current liabilities 887.5 — 887.5 Long-term liabilities 1,383.8 — 1,383.8 Retained earnings 2,511.3 (2.3 ) 2,509.0 Other equity (1,320.5 ) — (1,320.5 ) Total liabilities and equity $ 3,550.8 $ .7 $ 3,551.5 1 This represents the deferred tax impact related to Topic 606. 2 This adjustment is associated with constraint on the amount of variable consideration. The effect of applying Topic 606 on our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations and Balance Sheet was as follows: For the six months ended June 30, 2018 For the three months ended June 30, 2018 Amounts as Reported Topic 606 Adjustments Amounts Without Adoption of Topic 606 Amounts as Reported Topic 606 Adjustments Amounts Without Adoption of Topic 606 Net sales 3 $ 2,131.3 $ 8.2 $ 2,139.5 $ 1,102.5 $ 5.8 $ 1,108.3 Cost of goods sold 3 1,682.9 7.8 1,690.7 871.5 4.8 876.3 Gross profit 448.4 .4 448.8 231.0 1.0 232.0 Selling and administrative expenses 212.5 — 212.5 107.8 — 107.8 All other 7.4 — 7.4 2.1 — 2.1 Earnings from continuing operations before interest and income taxes 228.5 .4 228.9 121.1 1.0 122.1 Net interest expense 25.6 — 25.6 13.6 — 13.6 Income taxes 39.9 .1 40.0 22.4 .2 22.6 (Earnings) attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of tax (.1 ) — (.1 ) (.1 ) — (.1 ) Net earnings $ 162.9 $ .3 $ 163.2 $ 85.0 $ .8 $ 85.8 3 Primarily associated with a reclassification of customer reimbursements of tooling cost from "Net sales" to "Cost of goods sold" and adjustments for variable consideration. June 30, 2018 Amounts as Reported Topic 606 Adjustments Amounts Without Adoption of Topic 606 Current assets $ 1,782.8 $ — $ 1,782.8 Net property, plant and equipment 709.3 — 709.3 Other assets 1,151.9 (.7 ) 1,151.2 Total assets $ 3,644.0 $ (.7 ) $ 3,643.3 Other current liabilities $ 78.2 $ (2.9 ) $ 75.3 All other current liabilities 858.7 — 858.7 Long-term liabilities 1,578.5 — 1,578.5 Retained earnings 2,572.6 2.2 2,574.8 Other equity (1,444.0 ) — (1,444.0 ) Total liabilities and equity $ 3,644.0 $ (.7 ) $ 3,643.3 Performance Obligations and Shipping and Handling Costs We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2018, substantially all of our revenue was recognized upon transfer of control of our products to our customers, which was generally upon shipment from our facilities or upon delivery to our customers' facilities and was dependent on the terms of the specific contract. This conclusion considers the point at which our customers have the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the products that were transferred. Substantially all of any unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018, will be satisfied within one year or less. Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of "Cost of goods sold". Sales, value added, and other taxes collected in connection with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Sales Allowances and Returns The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in various sales allowances, discounts and rebates (variable consideration) that we offer to our customers. We reduce revenue by our estimates of variable consideration based on contract terms and historical experience. Changes in estimates of variable consideration for the six and three months ended June 30, 2018 were not material. Some of our products transferred to customers can be returned, and we recognize the following for this right: • An estimated refund liability and a corresponding reduction to revenue based on historical returns experience. • An asset and a corresponding reduction to cost of sales for our right to recover products from customers upon settling the refund liability. We reduce the carrying amount of these assets by estimates of costs associated with the recovery and any additional expected reduction in value. Our refund liability and the corresponding asset associated with our right to recover products from our customers were immaterial at June 30, 2018. Practical Expedients We have elected to apply the following practical expedients. • The existence of a significant financing component - We expect that at contract inception, the time period between when we transfer a promised good to our customer and our receipt of payment from that customer for that good will be one year or less (our typical trade terms are 30 to 60 days for U.S. customers and up to 90 days for our international customers). • Costs of obtaining a contract - We generally expense costs of obtaining a contract because the amortization period would be one year or less. Revenue by Category We disaggregate revenue by customer group, which is the same as our product lines for each of our segments, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION	6 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION 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 flooring underlayment, 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 and engineered hydraulic cylinders used in the material-handling and construction industries. Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments, which also correspond with our management structure. Each reportable segment has an executive vice president that reports to the chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The operating results and financial information reported through the segment structure are regularly reviewed and used by the CODM to evaluate segment performance, allocate overall resources and determine management incentive compensation. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate performance based on Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). Intersegment sales are made primarily at prices that approximate market-based selling prices. Centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based on estimates of services used by the segment. Certain of our general and administrative costs and miscellaneous corporate income and expenses are allocated to the segments based on sales or other appropriate metrics. These allocated corporate costs include depreciation and other costs and income related to assets that are not allocated or otherwise included in the segment assets. A summary of segment results from continuing operations are shown in the following tables.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
INVENTORIES	INVENTORIES Approximately 50% of our inventories are valued using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) cost method and the remainder using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) cost method. We calculate our LIFO reserve on an annual basis. During interim periods, we estimate the current year annual change in the LIFO reserve (i.e., the annual LIFO expense or benefit) and allocate that change ratably to the four quarters. Because accurately predicting inventory prices for the year is difficult, the change in the LIFO reserve for the full year could be significantly different from the amount currently estimated. In addition, a variation in expected ending inventory levels could also impact total change in the LIFO reserve for the year. The following table contains the LIFO expense included in continuing operations for each of the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 LIFO expense $ 18.8 $ 2.5 $ 12.8 $ 2.1

We make matching contributions to both plans. In addition to the automatic 50% match, we will make another matching contribution of up to 50% of the employee’s contributions for the year if certain profitability levels, as defined in the SBP and the ESUP, are obtained. We plan to merge the SBP with the Company's 401(k) plan on December 31, 2018. After the merger, Company stock will be added to the 401(k) plan as an investment option and participants may elect up to 20% of their contributions into Company stock beginning on January 1, 2019. Participants currently may contribute up to 100% of their contributions into Company stock. 2 PSU Awards In November 2017, the Compensation Committee approved changes to merge the PSU and PGI award programs for the 2018 award. The 2018 PSU awards have a component based on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and another component based on Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). These components are discussed below. For outstanding 2018 awards, we intend to pay 50% in shares of our common stock and 50% in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. For outstanding 2016 and 2017 awards, we intend to pay 65% in shares of our common stock and 35% in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. Cash settlements are recorded as a liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. We elected to pay the 2015 award (paid in the first quarter 2018) in cash. 2A 2018 PSU - TSR based 50% of each 2018 PSU award is based upon the Company's TSR compared to a peer group. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation of stock and volatility data for Leggett and each of the peer companies. Grant date fair values are amortized using the straight-line method over the three -year vesting period. The Relative TSR vesting condition of the 2018 PSU award contains the following conditions: • A service requirement—Awards generally “cliff” vest three years following the grant date; and • A market condition—Awards are based on our TSR [(Change in Stock Price + Dividends) / Beginning Stock Price] as compared to the TSR of a group of peer companies. The peer group consists of all the companies in the Industrial, Materials and Consumer Discretionary sectors of the S&P 500 and S&P Midcap 400 (approximately 320 companies). Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the base award depending upon how our TSR ranks within the peer group at the end of the three -year performance period. 2B 2018 PSU - EBIT CAGR based 50% of each 2018 PSU award is based upon the Company's or applicable segment's EBIT CAGR. Grant date fair values are calculated using the grant date stock price discounted for dividends over the vesting period. Expense is adjusted every quarter over the three -year vesting period based on the number of shares expected to vest. The EBIT CAGR portion of this award contains the following conditions: • A service requirement—Awards generally “cliff” vest three years following the grant date; and • A performance condition—Awards are based on achieving specified EBIT CAGR performance targets for the Company's or applicable segment's EBIT during the third year of the performance period compared to the EBIT during the fiscal year immediately preceding the performance period. Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the base award. In connection with the decision to move a significant portion of the long-term incentive opportunity from a two -year to a three -year performance period by eliminating PGI awards, in January 2018, we also granted participants a one-time transition PSU award, based upon EBIT CAGR over a two -year performance period. 2C 2017 and Prior PSU Awards The 2017 and prior PSU awards are based solely on relative TSR. Vesting conditions are the same as ( 2A ) above other than a maximum payout of 175% of the base award. Below is a summary of the number of shares and related grant date fair value of PSU’s based on TSR for the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Total shares base award .1 .1 Grant date per share fair value $ 42.60 $ 50.75 Risk-free interest rate 2.4 % 1.5 % Expected life in years 3.0 3.0 Expected volatility (over expected life) 19.9 % 19.5 % Expected dividend yield (over expected life) 3.3 % 2.8 % Three-Year Performance Cycle Award Year Completion Date TSR Performance Relative to the Peer Group (1%=Best) Payout as a Percent of the Base Award Number of Shares Distributed Cash Portion Distribution Date 2014 December 31, 2016 10 175.0% .4 million $ 9.8 First quarter 2017 2015 December 31, 2017 57 61.0% — $ 6.9 First quarter 2018 Below is a summary of the number of shares and related grant date fair value of PSU’s based on EBIT CAGR for the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Total shares base award .1 Grant date per share fair value $ 40.92 Vesting period in years 2.5 3 PGI Awards In 2017 and prior years certain key management employees participated in a PGI program. The PGI awards were issued as growth performance stock units (GPSUs). The GPSUs vest ( 0% to 250% ) at the end of a two -year performance period. Vesting is based on the Company's or applicable profit center's revenue growth (adjusted by a GDP factor when applicable) and EBITDA margin at the end of a two -year performance period. The 2017 base target PGI awards were less than .1 shares. If earned, we intend to pay half in shares of our common stock and half in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. We elected to pay the 2016 award (paid in the first quarter of 2018) in cash. Both components are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. Two-Year Performance Cycle Award Year Completion Date Average Payout as a Percent of the Base Award Number of Shares Distributed Cash Portion Distribution Date 2015 December 31, 2016 36.0% <.1 million $ .8 First quarter 2017 2016 December 31, 2017 44.0% — $ 2.0 First quarter 2018

Six Months Ended Number of Acquisitions Segment Product/Service June 30, 2018 2 Residential Products; Specialized Products Manufacturer and distributor of silt fence; Global manufacturer of engineered hydraulic cylinders June 30, 2017 2 Residential Products; Furniture Products Distributor and installer of geosynthetic products; Surface-critical bent tube components We are finalizing all the information required to complete the purchase price allocations related to certain recent acquisitions and do not anticipate any material modifications. The results of operations of the above acquired companies have been included in the consolidated condensed financial statements since the dates of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales, net earnings and earnings per share as though the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions had occurred on January 1 of the comparable prior annual reporting period are not materially different from the amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Certain of our acquisition agreements provide for additional consideration to be paid in cash at a later date and are recorded as a liability at the acquisition date. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our liability for these future payments was $10.7 ( $1.5 current and $9.2 long-term) and $16.5 ( $8.9 current and $7.6 long-term), respectively. Components of the liability are based on estimates and future events, and the amounts may fluctuate significantly until the payment dates. Additional consideration, including interest, paid on prior year acquisitions was $8.0 and $1.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A brief description of our acquisition activity by year for the periods presented is included below. 2018 On May 21, 2018, we acquired a manufacturer and distributor of silt fence, a core product for our Geo Components business unit, for $2.7 . On January 31, 2018, we acquired Precision Hydraulic Cylinders (PHC), a leading global manufacturer of engineered hydraulic cylinders primarily for the materials handling market. The purchase price was $86.1 . PHC serves a market of mainly large Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers utilizing highly engineered, co-designed components with long product life-cycles, yet representing a small percentage of the end product’s cost. PHC represents a new growth platform and forms a new business group entitled Hydraulic Cylinders within the Specialized Products segment. 2017 We acquired two businesses in the first six months of 2017: • A distributor and installer of geosynthetic products, expanding the geographic scope and capabilities of our Geo Components business. • A manufacturer of surface-critical bent tube components in support of the private-label finished seating strategy in our Work Furniture business. These businesses broaden our geographic scope, capabilities, and product offerings, and added $13.1 ( $8.1 to Residential Products and $5.0 to Furniture Products) of goodwill. We also acquired the remaining 20% ownership in an Asian joint venture in our Work Furniture business for $2.6 .

FAIR VALUE

FAIR VALUE	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	FAIR VALUE We utilize fair value measures for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis Fair value measurements are established using a three level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following categories: • Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Short-term investments in this category are valued using discounted cash flow techniques with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Derivative assets and liabilities in this category are valued using models that consider various assumptions and information from market-corroborated sources. The models used are primarily industry-standard models that consider items such as quoted prices, market interest rate curves applicable to the instruments being valued as of the end of each period, discounted cash flows, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The areas in which we utilize fair value measures of financial assets and liabilities are presented in the table below. As of June 30, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Bank time deposits with original maturities of three months or less $ — $ 269.9 $ — $ 269.9 Derivative assets (Note 14) — 1.0 — 1.0 Diversified investments associated with the Executive Stock Unit Program (ESUP) 1 35.4 — — 35.4 Total assets $ 35.4 $ 270.9 $ — $ 306.3 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities 1 (Note 14) $ — $ 4.2 $ — $ 4.2 Liabilities associated with the ESUP 1 35.6 — — 35.6 Total liabilities $ 35.6 $ 4.2 $ — $ 39.8 As of December 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Bank time deposits with original maturities of three months or less $ — $ 236.4 $ — $ 236.4 Derivative assets 1 (Note 14) — 3.9 — 3.9 Diversified investments associated with the ESUP 1 34.0 — — 34.0 Total assets $ 34.0 $ 240.3 $ — $ 274.3 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities 1 (Note 14) $ — $ 1.9 $ — $ 1.9 Liabilities associated with the ESUP 1 34.4 — — 34.4 Total liabilities $ 34.4 $ 1.9 $ — $ 36.3 1 Includes both current and long-term amounts. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for any of the periods presented. The fair value for fixed rate debt (Level 2) was not materially different from its June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 $1,250.0 carrying value. Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis The primary areas in which we use fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities are allocating purchase price to the assets and liabilities of acquired companies as discussed in Note 10, and evaluating long-term assets (including goodwill) for potential impairment. Determining fair values for these items requires significant judgment and includes a variety of methods and models that utilize significant Level 3 inputs. Long lived assets, acquisitions and the second step of a goodwill impairment test utilize the following methodologies in determining fair value: (i) Buildings and machinery are valued at an estimated replacement cost for an asset of comparable age and condition. Market pricing of comparable assets is used to estimate replacement cost where available. (ii) The most common identified intangible assets are customer relationships and tradenames. Customer relationships are valued using an excess earnings method, using various inputs such as the estimated customer attrition rate, future earnings forecast, the amount of contributory asset charges, and a discount rate. Tradenames are valued using a relief from royalty method, which is based upon comparable market royalty rates for tradenames of similar value. (iii) Inventory is valued at current replacement cost for raw materials, with a step-up for work in process and finished goods items that reflects the amount of ultimate profit earned as of the valuation date. (iv) Other working capital items are generally recorded at face value, unless there are known conditions that would impact the ultimate settlement amount of the particular item. Goodwill Impairment Reviews We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (the business groups that are one level below the operating segments) when triggering events occur, or at least annually. We perform our annual goodwill impairment review in the second quarter. The 2018 and 2017 goodwill impairment reviews indicated no goodwill impairments. For the 2018 testing, we elected to test goodwill for all reporting units for impairment using a quantitative approach. The fair values of our reporting units in relation to their respective carrying values and significant assumptions used are presented in the table below: Fair Value over Carrying Value divided by Carrying Value June 30, 2018 Goodwill Value 10-year Compound Annual Growth Rate Range for Sales Terminal Values Long-term Growth Rate for Debt-Free Cash Flow Discount Rate Ranges Less than 100% 1 $ 181.3 4.7% - 5.2% 3 % 9.0% - 9.5% 101% - 300% 504.6 1.8% - 5.0% 3 % 8.5% - 10.0% 301% - 600% 153.1 5.7% - 12.4% 3 % 9.0% - 10.0% $ 839.0 1.8% - 12.4% 3 % 8.5% - 10.0% 1 All reporting units in this category exceeded 90% , except for the Hydraulic Cylinders reporting unit (acquired in the first quarter of 2018), to which carrying value approximates fair value .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Cash Flow Hedges Derivative financial instruments that we use to hedge forecasted transactions and anticipated cash flows are as follows: Currency Cash Flow Hedges —The foreign currency hedges manage risk associated with exchange rate volatility of various currencies. Interest Rate Cash Flow Hedges —We have also occasionally used interest rate cash flow hedges to manage interest rate risks. The effective changes in fair value of unexpired contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to income or expense in the period in which earnings are impacted. Cash flows from settled contracts are presented in the category consistent with the nature of the item being hedged. (Settlements associated with the sale or production of product are presented in operating cash flows, and settlements associated with debt issuance are presented in financing cash flows.) Fair Value Hedges and Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments These derivatives typically manage foreign currency risk associated with subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities, and gains or losses are recognized currently in earnings. Cash flows from settled contracts are presented in the category consistent with the nature of the item being hedged. Hedge Effectiveness We have deemed ineffectiveness to be immaterial, and as a result, have not recorded any amounts for ineffectiveness. If a hedge was not highly effective, the portion of the change in fair value considered to be ineffective would be recognized immediately in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The following table presents assets and liabilities representing the fair value of our most significant derivative financial instruments. The fair values of the derivatives reflect the change in the market value of the derivative from the date of the trade execution and do not consider the offsetting underlying hedged item.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The U.S. statutory federal income tax rate was significantly impacted by the enactment of TCJA in the fourth quarter of 2017, which reduced our U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018. Our income tax expense from continuing operations, as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, differs from these statutory federal income tax rates as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Statutory federal income tax rate 21.0 % 35.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % Increases (decreases) in rate resulting from: Tax effect of foreign operations (1.0 ) (7.0 ) (1.0 ) (7.0 ) Foreign withholding taxes 2.0 — 2.0 — Stock-based compensation (1.0 ) (4.0 ) — (1.0 ) Tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) 1.0 — — — Domestic production activities deduction — (1.0 ) — (1.0 ) Change in valuation allowance (2.0 ) (1.0 ) — (2.0 ) Other, net — (1.0 ) (1.0 ) (1.0 ) Effective Tax Rate 20.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % 23.0 % Due to changes in our GILTI assumptions and the corresponding revisions to our calculations, the impact of GILTI on our annual effective income tax rate was reduced. We continue to treat GILTI as a period cost in our estimated annual effective tax rate until such time that we establish our accounting policy, which we will do no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. At December 31, 2017, we recorded certain estimated amounts related to TCJA in accordance with SAB 118. We refined this estimate in the first quarter and recorded a $3.9 measurement period adjustment related to certain state deferred tax assets as a discrete tax benefit. This item decreased our effective tax rate by 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. No SAB 118 adjustments have been identified or recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018, based on provisional estimates as of July 18, 2018. However, our accounting for these items is also not yet final, but will be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2018 in accordance with SAB 118 (see Note 2).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES We are a party to various proceedings and matters involving employment, intellectual property, environmental, taxation, vehicle-related personal injury and other laws. When it is probable, in management's judgment, that we may incur monetary damages or other costs resulting from these proceedings or other claims, and we can reasonably estimate the amounts, we record appropriate accruals in the financial statements and make charges against earnings. For all periods presented, we have recorded no material charges against earnings. Also, when it is reasonably possible that we may incur additional loss in excess of recorded accruals and we can reasonably estimate the additional losses or range of losses, we disclose such additional reasonably possible losses in these notes. Reference is made to Footnote S "Contingencies" in our Form 10-K filed February 22, 2018 and Note 16 “Contingencies” in our Form 10-Q filed May 8, 2018 for prior disclosure of the below contingencies. For specific information regarding accruals, cash payments to settle litigation contingencies, and reasonably possible losses in excess of accruals, please see “Accruals and Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals” below. Vehicle-Related Personal Injury Claim In July 2016, a Company driver was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in two deaths and injury to other vehicle occupants. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company accrued a liability that it believed to be probable in an immaterial, estimated amount based upon known facts, opinion of counsel, as well as comparative settlements of the Company and other companies in similar proceedings. The accrual did not take into account applicable insurance coverage. The Company received information regarding the events surrounding the accident and preliminary expert reports from one family's attorney at the end of November 2017. No legal proceedings had been filed, no discovery had been taken, and investigation of the facts of the accident remained in its early stages. The Company and its insurance carriers attended a pre-litigation mediation conference regarding this matter on January 8, 2018, with a subsequent meeting on February 14, 2018, in Chicago, Illinois. At the mediation conference, the attorneys representing these claimants alleged the Company's driver was at fault and made a demand for monetary damages. Until the initial mediation session, no demand had been made against the Company. Based on facts received from the investigation and mediation processes, the Company, through cooperation and consent of its insurance carriers, reached a settlement with these claimants on February 14, 2018. The settlement required the Company to pay a $5.0 self-insured retention amount and the remainder of the $48.0 settlement was the responsibility of the insurance carriers. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $43.0 receivable from the insurance carriers and a $43.0 liability related to this matter, that is included in current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017. The amount of self-insured retention to be paid by the Company had previously been accrued in the third quarter of 2016, and, therefore, the settlement had no impact on the Company's 2017 and 2018 earnings. The settlement was subject to approval by the Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court, and the Probate Division of the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court approved the reasonableness of the settlement amount on April 17, 2018 and the Probate Division approved the settlement on May 15, 2018. The Company paid the self-insured retention amount in the second quarter. The settlement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. This claim has been fully resolved. Other claimants have filed lawsuits related to the traffic accident but these lawsuits are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Brazilian Value-Added Tax Matters All dollar amounts (in millions) presented in this section have been updated since our last filing to reflect the U.S. Dollar (USD) equivalent of Brazilian Real (BRL). We deny all allegations in the below Brazilian actions. We believe that we have valid bases to contest such actions and will vigorously defend ourselves. However, these contingencies are subject to uncertainties, and based on current facts, we believe that it is reasonably possible (but not probable) that we may incur losses of $18.4 including interest and attorney fees with respect to these assessments. Therefore, because it is not probable we will incur a loss, no accrual has been recorded for Brazilian VAT matters. For specific information regarding accruals, and reasonably possible losses in excess of accruals, please see "Accruals and Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals" below. We have $10.6 on deposit with the Brazilian government to partially mitigate interest and penalties that may accrue while we work through these matters. If we are successful in our defense of these assessments, the deposits are refundable with interest. These deposits are recorded as a long-term asset on our balance sheet. Brazilian Federal Cases. On December 22 and December 29, 2011, and December 17, 2012, the Brazilian Finance Ministry, Federal Revenue Office issued a notice of violation against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Leggett & Platt do Brasil Ltda. (“L&P Brazil”) in the amount of $1.9 , $.1 and $3.4 , respectively. The Federal Revenue Office claimed that for the periods beginning November 2006 and continuing through 2011, L&P Brazil used an incorrect tariff code for the collection and payment of value-added tax primarily on the sale of mattress innerspring units in Brazil. L&P Brazil has denied the violations. On December 4, 2015, we filed an Annulment Action related to the $3.4 assessment (for which a $4.0 cash bond was posted, accounting for updated interest), in Camanducaia Judicial District Court seeking to annul the entire assessment. We are awaiting the first level decision with regard to the $3.4 assessment. On June 20, 2018, the Administrative Court of Appeals held a hearing related to the $1.9 assessment and announced their decision to maintain the assessment against L&P Brazil. The written decision was formalized on July 18, 2018. We are awaiting the formal notification to determine our appeal options. In addition, L&P Brazil received assessments on December 22, 2011, and June 26, July 2 and November 5, 2012, and September 13, 2013, from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office where the Federal Revenue Office challenged L&P Brazil’s use of tax credits in years 2005 through 2010. Such credits are generated based upon the tariff classification and rate used by L&P Brazil for value-added tax on the sale of mattress innersprings. On September 4, 2014, the Federal Revenue Office issued five additional assessments regarding this same issue (use of credits), covering certain periods of 2011 and 2012. L&P Brazil filed its defense denying these assessments. Combined with the prior assessments, L&P Brazil has received assessments and penalties totaling $2.3 on the same or similar denial of tax credit matters. L&P Brazil has denied the violations. On September 11, 2017, L&P Brazil received an "isolated penalty" from the Federal Revenue Office in the amount of $.2 regarding the use of certain of these credits. On February 1, 2013, the Brazilian Finance Ministry filed a Tax Collection action against L&P Brazil in the Camanducaia Judicial District Court, alleging the untimely payment of $.1 of social contributions (social security and social assistance payments) for the period September to October 2010. L&P Brazil argued the payments were not required to be made because of the application of tax credits that were generated by L&P Brazil's use of a correct tariff code for the classification of value-added tax on the sale of mattress innersprings (i.e., the same underlying issue at stake in the other Brazilian matters). On June 26, 2014, the Brazilian Revenue Office issued a new notice of violation against L&P Brazil in the amount of $.6 covering the period from 2011 through 2012 on the same subject matter. L&P Brazil has filed its defense denying the assessments. On July 1, 2014, the Brazilian Finance Ministry rendered a preliminary decision to reject certain offsetting requests presented by L&P Brazil. The Brazilian Finance Ministry alleges that L&P Brazil improperly offset $.1 of social contributions otherwise due in 2011. L&P Brazil filed its response denying the allegations. L&P Brazil is defending on the basis that the social contribution debts were correctly offset with tax credits generated by L&P Brazil's use of a correct tariff code classification for value-added tax on the sale of mattress innersprings (i.e., the same underlying issue at stake in the other Federal Brazilian matters). On December 15, 2015, the Brazilian Federal Revenue issued an assessment against L&P Brazil in the amount of $.1 for the period of August 2010 through May 2011, as a penalty for L&P Brazil's requests to offset tax credits. We filed our defense denying the assessment. State of S ã o Paulo, Brazil Cases. The State of S ã o Paulo, Brazil, on April 16, 2009, issued a Notice of Tax Assessment and Imposition of Fine to L&P Brazil originally seeking $1.5 for the tax years 2006 and 2007. The State of S ã o Paulo argued that L&P Brazil was using an incorrect tariff code for the collection and payment of value-added tax on sales of mattress innerspring units in the State of S ã o Paulo. L&P Brazil denied the allegations. On April 17, 2014, the Court of Tax and Fees ruled in the State's favor upholding the original assessment of $1.5 . On July 31, 2014, L&P Brazil filed an annulment action in the Sorocaba State Court, seeking to have the Court of Tax and Fees ruling annulled for an updated assessment amount of $3.1 (which included interest from the original assessment date). The Court issued a ruling in our favor on October 27, 2017, nullifying the $3.1 in assessments against L&P Brazil. On April 4, 2018, the State appealed the ruling to the second judicial level. On July 24, 2018, the Sao Paulo State Court of Appeals held a hearing related to the $3.1 assessment and announced their decision to uphold the favorable ruling nullifying the assessment against L&P Brazil. The decision will now be formalized in writing. The State will likely appeal this ruling. On October 4, 2012, the State of S ã o Paulo issued a Tax Assessment against L&P Brazil in the amount of $1.2 for the tax years 2009 through 2011. Similar to the 2009 assessment (referenced above), the State of S ã o Paulo argues that L&P Brazil was using an incorrect tax rate for the collection and payment of value-added tax on sales of mattress innerspring units in the State of S ã o Paulo. On June 21, 2013, the State of S ã o Paulo converted the Tax Assessment to a tax collection action against L&P Brazil in the amount of $2.1 in Sorocaba Judicial District Court. L&P Brazil has denied all allegations. L&P Brazil also received a Notice of Tax Assessment and Imposition of a Fine from the State of S ã o Paulo dated March 27, 2014, in the amount of $.8 (currently secured with a $.9 bond to update for interest) for tax years January 2011 through August 2012 regarding the same subject matter (i.e., the correct tax rate for the collection and payment of value-added tax on mattress innerspring units). L&P Brazil filed its response denying the allegations, but the tax assessment was maintained at the administrative level. On June 9, 2016, L&P Brazil filed an annulment action in Sorocaba State Court to annul the entire $.8 assessment. The Court ruled against L&P Brazil on the assessment, but lowered the interest amount. We filed a motion for clarification. The Court upheld its ruling, and we filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals on May 15, 2017. The Court of Appeals upheld the unfavorable Sorocaba State Court ruling, and we filed a Special and Extraordinary appeal to the High Court on October 10, 2017, and this final appeal remains pending. State of Minas Gerais, Brazil Cases. On December 18, 2012, the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil issued a tax assessment to L&P Brazil relating to L&P Brazil's classifications of innersprings for the collection and payment of value-added tax on the sale of mattress innersprings in Minas Gerais from March 2008 through August 2012 in the amount of $.4 . L&P Brazil filed its response denying any violation. The Minas Gerais Taxpayer's Council ruled against us, and on June 5, 2014, L&P Brazil filed a Motion to Stay the Execution of the Judgment in Camanducaia Judicial District Court alleging the same tax assessment in the amount of $.5 . The motion remains pending. Accruals and Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals Accruals for Probable Losses Although the Company denies liability in all currently threatened or pending litigation proceedings in which it is or may be a party and believes that it has valid bases to contest all claims threatened or made against it, we have recorded a litigation contingency accrual for our reasonable estimate of probable loss for pending and threatened litigation proceedings, in aggregate, in millions, as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Litigation contingency accrual - Beginning of period $ .4 $ 3.2 $ — $ 3.2 Adjustment to accruals - expense (income) (.1 ) .2 (.1 ) .2 Cash (payments) receipts (.3 ) — .1 — Litigation contingency accrual - End of period $ — $ 3.4 $ — $ 3.4 The above litigation contingency accruals do not include accrued expenses related to workers compensation, vehicle-related personal injury, product and general liability claims, taxation issues and environmental matters, some of which may contain a portion of litigation expense. However, any litigation expense associated with these categories is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For more information regarding accrued expenses, see Note H - Supplemental Balance Sheet Information under "Accrued expenses" on page 90 of the Company's Form 10-K filed February 22, 2018. We have relied on several facts and circumstances to conclude that some loss is probable with respect to certain proceedings and matters, and to arrive at a reasonable estimate of loss or range of loss and record the accruals, including: the maturation of the pending proceedings and matters; our experience in settlement negotiations and mediation; comparative settlements of other companies in similar proceedings; discovery becoming or being substantially complete in certain proceedings; certain quantitative metrics used to value probable loss contingencies; and our willingness to settle certain proceedings to forgo the cost and risk of litigation and distraction to our senior executives. Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals Although there are a number of uncertainties and potential outcomes associated with all of our pending or threatened litigation proceedings, we believe, based on current known facts, that additional losses, if any, are not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, based upon current known facts, as of June 30, 2018 , aggregate reasonably possible (but not probable, and therefore not accrued) losses in excess of the accruals noted above are estimated to be $21.0 , including $18.4 for Brazilian VAT matters disclosed above and $2.6 for other matters. I f our assumptions or analyses regarding these contingencies are incorrect, or if facts change, we could realize loss in excess of the recorded accruals, and even greater than our estimate of reasonably possible losses in excess of recorded accruals.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Interim Presentation	The interim financial statements of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (“we”, “us” or “our”) included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for the periods presented. We have prepared the statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The December 31, 2017 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017
New Accounting Guidance	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regularly issues updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU). Below is a summary of the ASUs, effective for current or future periods, most relevant to our financial statements. The FASB has issued accounting guidance, in addition to the items discussed below, effective for future periods which we do not believe will have a material impact on our future financial statements. Adopted in 2018: • On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) as discussed in Note 3. • ASU 2017-07 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”: This ASU requires employers to disaggregate the service cost from other components of net periodic benefit costs and to disclose the income statement line item in which each component is included. This guidance requires service costs to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs, and the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets and actuarial gains and losses) to be reported outside of operating income. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. Application was required on a retrospective basis and resulted in a reclassification of $1.9 and $.9 of expense from “Cost of goods sold” and “Selling and administrative expenses” into “Other (income) expense, net” for the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Refer to Note 11 for further information. • ASU 2018-05 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (SAB 118): This ASU allows SEC registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). We recognized the estimated income tax effects of the TCJA in accordance with SAB 118. Refer to Note 15 for further information. • ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”: We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and it did not materially impact our financial statements. To be adopted in future years: • ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842): Requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. We plan to adopt the standard as of the first quarter of 2019. We have assembled a cross-functional implementation team and are assessing all potential impacts of the standard. The implementation team has gathered the data required to account for leases under the new standard, and has selected a third-party lease accounting software. In addition, we continue to identify and implement the appropriate changes to business processes and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We believe our assets and liabilities will increase for the adoption of this standard through the recording of these right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. We continue to evaluate its impact on our statements of operations and cash flows. • ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”: This ASU is intended to simplify and clarify the accounting and disclosure requirements for hedging activities by more closely aligning the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. • ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”: This ASU provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recorded. The ASU will be effective January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and the provisions of the ASU should be applied in either the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. We are currently evaluating this guidance. • ASU 2017-04 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment": This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, the annual goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value up to the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. This ASU will be effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance, and do not expect it to materially impact our future financial statements. • ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326): This ASU is effective January 1, 2020 and amends the impairment model by requiring a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments including trade receivables. We are currently evaluating this guidance. However, we do not expect it to materially impact our future financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2018, substantially all of our revenue was recognized upon transfer of control of our products to our customers, which was generally upon shipment from our facilities or upon delivery to our customers' facilities and was dependent on the terms of the specific contract. This conclusion considers the point at which our customers have the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the products that were transferred. Substantially all of any unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018, will be satisfied within one year or less. Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of "Cost of goods sold". Sales, value added, and other taxes collected in connection with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Sales Allowances and Returns The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in various sales allowances, discounts and rebates (variable consideration) that we offer to our customers. We reduce revenue by our estimates of variable consideration based on contract terms and historical experience. Changes in estimates of variable consideration for the six and three months ended June 30, 2018 were not material. Some of our products transferred to customers can be returned, and we recognize the following for this right: • An estimated refund liability and a corresponding reduction to revenue based on historical returns experience. • An asset and a corresponding reduction to cost of sales for our right to recover products from customers upon settling the refund liability. We reduce the carrying amount of these assets by estimates of costs associated with the recovery and any additional expected reduction in value. Our refund liability and the corresponding asset associated with our right to recover products from our customers were immaterial at June 30, 2018. Practical Expedients We have elected to apply the following practical expedients. • The existence of a significant financing component - We expect that at contract inception, the time period between when we transfer a promised good to our customer and our receipt of payment from that customer for that good will be one year or less (our typical trade terms are 30 to 60 days for U.S. customers and up to 90 days for our international customers). • Costs of obtaining a contract - We generally expense costs of obtaining a contract because the amortization period would be one year or less. Revenue by Category We disaggregate revenue by customer group, which is the same as our product lines for each of our segments, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Initial adoption of new ASU On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as a $2.3 reduction to the opening balance of "Retained earnings". The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the new standard to be immaterial to our sales, net earnings, balance sheet and cash flows on an ongoing basis. Substantially all of our revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities or upon delivery to our customers' facilities. Topic 606 also provided clarity that resulted in reclassifications to or from "Net sales" and "Cost of goods sold".

We make matching contributions to both plans. In addition to the automatic 50% match, we will make another matching contribution of up to 50% of the employee’s contributions for the year if certain profitability levels, as defined in the SBP and the ESUP, are obtained. We plan to merge the SBP with the Company's 401(k) plan on December 31, 2018. After the merger, Company stock will be added to the 401(k) plan as an investment option and participants may elect up to 20% of their contributions into Company stock beginning on January 1, 2019. Participants currently may contribute up to 100% of their contributions into Company stock. 2 PSU Awards In November 2017, the Compensation Committee approved changes to merge the PSU and PGI award programs for the 2018 award. The 2018 PSU awards have a component based on relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and another component based on Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). These components are discussed below. For outstanding 2018 awards, we intend to pay 50% in shares of our common stock and 50% in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. For outstanding 2016 and 2017 awards, we intend to pay 65% in shares of our common stock and 35% in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. Cash settlements are recorded as a liability and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. We elected to pay the 2015 award (paid in the first quarter 2018) in cash. 2A 2018 PSU - TSR based 50% of each 2018 PSU award is based upon the Company's TSR compared to a peer group. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation of stock and volatility data for Leggett and each of the peer companies. Grant date fair values are amortized using the straight-line method over the three -year vesting period. The Relative TSR vesting condition of the 2018 PSU award contains the following conditions: • A service requirement—Awards generally “cliff” vest three years following the grant date; and • A market condition—Awards are based on our TSR [(Change in Stock Price + Dividends) / Beginning Stock Price] as compared to the TSR of a group of peer companies. The peer group consists of all the companies in the Industrial, Materials and Consumer Discretionary sectors of the S&P 500 and S&P Midcap 400 (approximately 320 companies). Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the base award depending upon how our TSR ranks within the peer group at the end of the three -year performance period. 2B 2018 PSU - EBIT CAGR based 50% of each 2018 PSU award is based upon the Company's or applicable segment's EBIT CAGR. Grant date fair values are calculated using the grant date stock price discounted for dividends over the vesting period. Expense is adjusted every quarter over the three -year vesting period based on the number of shares expected to vest. The EBIT CAGR portion of this award contains the following conditions: • A service requirement—Awards generally “cliff” vest three years following the grant date; and • A performance condition—Awards are based on achieving specified EBIT CAGR performance targets for the Company's or applicable segment's EBIT during the third year of the performance period compared to the EBIT during the fiscal year immediately preceding the performance period. Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the base award. In connection with the decision to move a significant portion of the long-term incentive opportunity from a two -year to a three -year performance period by eliminating PGI awards, in January 2018, we also granted participants a one-time transition PSU award, based upon EBIT CAGR over a two -year performance period. 2C 2017 and Prior PSU Awards The 2017 and prior PSU awards are based solely on relative TSR. Vesting conditions are the same as ( 2A ) above other than a maximum payout of 175% of the base award. Below is a summary of the number of shares and related grant date fair value of PSU’s based on TSR for the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Total shares base award .1 .1 Grant date per share fair value $ 42.60 $ 50.75 Risk-free interest rate 2.4 % 1.5 % Expected life in years 3.0 3.0 Expected volatility (over expected life) 19.9 % 19.5 % Expected dividend yield (over expected life) 3.3 % 2.8 % Three-Year Performance Cycle Award Year Completion Date TSR Performance Relative to the Peer Group (1%=Best) Payout as a Percent of the Base Award Number of Shares Distributed Cash Portion Distribution Date 2014 December 31, 2016 10 175.0% .4 million $ 9.8 First quarter 2017 2015 December 31, 2017 57 61.0% — $ 6.9 First quarter 2018 Below is a summary of the number of shares and related grant date fair value of PSU’s based on EBIT CAGR for the periods presented. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Total shares base award .1 Grant date per share fair value $ 40.92 Vesting period in years 2.5 3 PGI Awards In 2017 and prior years certain key management employees participated in a PGI program. The PGI awards were issued as growth performance stock units (GPSUs). The GPSUs vest ( 0% to 250% ) at the end of a two -year performance period. Vesting is based on the Company's or applicable profit center's revenue growth (adjusted by a GDP factor when applicable) and EBITDA margin at the end of a two -year performance period. The 2017 base target PGI awards were less than .1 shares. If earned, we intend to pay half in shares of our common stock and half in cash; although, we reserve the right to pay up to 100% in cash. We elected to pay the 2016 award (paid in the first quarter of 2018) in cash. Both components are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. Two-Year Performance Cycle Award Year Completion Date Average Payout as a Percent of the Base Award Number of Shares Distributed Cash Portion Distribution Date 2015 December 31, 2016 36.0% <.1 million $ .8 First quarter 2017 2016 December 31, 2017 44.0% — $ 2.0 First quarter 2018
