Marketing Partnerships
We maintain marketing partnerships with a number of companies, including Blu Dot, Bolia, Carl Hansen & Son, Crestron, EMU, Established & Sons, Extremis, FLOS, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Goodee, Kartell, Logitech, m.a.d. furniture, Mattiazzi, Microsoft, Moooi, Nanimarquina, PolyVision, Tom Dixon, West Elm and Zoom. These partnerships are intended to allow us to market additional products and services to our dealers and customers that are complementary to our products and services and leverage our scale. These partnerships take several forms, the most common of which involves us purchasing and reselling the partner’s products to our dealers and customers. In other situations, we market the partner’s products to our dealers and customers and receive a fee from the partner, and we typically transport and deliver those products to our dealers and customers for a fee. We also have marketing partnerships where we co-develop products with our partner that we manufacture or source from third parties or where we and our partner agree to co-market our products and services to customers. Most of our marketing partnerships are on a regional basis. 
Reportable Segments
We operate on a global basis within our Americas and EMEA reportable segments plus an Other category. Additional information about our reportable segments, including financial information about geographic areas and specific product categories, is contained in Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Note 4 and Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
Americas Segment
Our Americas segment serves customers in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and architectural products that are marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, AMQ, Coalesse, HALCON, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.
We serve Americas customers mainly through approximately 380 Steelcase independent and company-owned dealer locations and other non-aligned dealers, and we also sell directly to end-use customers. Our end-use customers tend to be larger multinational, regional or local companies and are distributed across a broad range of industries and vertical markets, including education, financial services, flexible real estate, government, healthcare, information technology, insurance, retail and manufacturing.
Each of our dealers maintains its own sales force which is complemented by our sales representatives who work closely with our dealers throughout the selling process. The largest independent Steelcase dealer in the Americas accounted for approximately 6% of the segment’s revenue in 2023, and the five largest independent Steelcase dealers collectively accounted for approximately 19% of the segment’s revenue in 2023.
The Americas office furniture industry is highly competitive, with a number of competitors offering similar categories of products. The industry competes on a combination of insight, product performance, design, price, service and relationships with customers, architects and designers. Our most significant competitors in the U.S. are MillerKnoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc. and HNI Corporation.
EMEA Segment
Our EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase, Coalesse, Orangebox and Viccarbe brands, with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and architectural products. Our largest presence is in Western Europe, where we believe we are among the market leaders in France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom ("U.K.").
We serve EMEA customers mainly through approximately 320 independent and company-owned Steelcase dealer locations and other non-aligned dealers, and we also sell directly to end-use customers. The largest independent Steelcase dealer in the EMEA segment accounted for less than 4% of the segment’s revenue in 2023.
3
The five largest Steelcase independent dealers collectively accounted for approximately 12% of the segment’s revenue in 2023. Our end-use customers tend to be larger multinational, regional or local companies spread across a broad range of industries and vertical markets, including education, financial services, flexible real estate, government, healthcare and information technology.
The EMEA office furniture market is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete with many local and regional manufacturers in many different markets. In several cases, these local competitors focus on specific product categories.
Other Category
The Other category includes Asia Pacific and Designtex.
Asia Pacific serves customers in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and other countries in Southeast Asia primarily under the Steelcase brand with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and architectural products. We primarily sell directly to end-use customers as well as through approximately 70 Steelcase independent dealer locations. Our end-use customers tend to be larger multinational, regional or local companies spread across a broad range of industries and are located in both mature and growth markets. Our competition in Asia Pacific is highly fragmented and includes large global competitors as well as regional and local manufacturers.
Designtex sells textiles, wall coverings and surface imaging solutions specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers through a direct sales force primarily in North America.
Corporate
Corporate expenses include unallocated portions of shared service functions such as information technology, corporate facilities, finance, human resources, research, legal and customer aviation, plus deferred compensation expense and income or losses associated with company-owned life insurance ("COLI"). Corporate assets consist primarily of unallocated cash and cash equivalents, COLI, fixed assets, investments in unconsolidated affiliates and right-of-use assets related to operating leases.
Joint Ventures and Other Equity Investments
We occasionally enter into joint ventures and other equity investments to expand or maintain our geographic presence, support our distribution network or invest in new business ventures, complementary products or services. As of February 24, 2023, our investments in these unconsolidated joint ventures and other equity investments totaled $51.1. Our share of the earnings from joint ventures and other equity investments is recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Customer and Dealer Concentrations
Our largest customer accounted for approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue in 2023, and our five largest customers collectively accounted for approximately 6% of our consolidated revenue. However, these percentages do not include revenue from various U.S. federal government agencies. In 2023, our sales to U.S. federal government agencies represented approximately 3% of our consolidated revenue. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single or small number of end-use customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
No single independent Steelcase dealer accounted for more than 4% of our consolidated revenue in 2023. The five largest independent Steelcase dealers collectively accounted for approximately 14% of our consolidated revenue in 2023. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single independent dealer, the loss of which would have a sustained material adverse effect on our business.
Manufacturing and Logistics
We have manufacturing and distribution operations throughout North America (in the U.S. and Mexico), Europe (in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain and the U.K.) and in Asia (in China, India and Malaysia). Our global manufacturing and distribution operations are largely centralized under a single organization to serve our customers’ needs across multiple brands and geographies.
4
Our manufacturing model is predominately make-to-order with standard lead times that typically range from four to six weeks. We manufacture our products using lean manufacturing principles, including continuous one-piece flow and platformed processes and products, which allow us to achieve efficiencies and cost savings and minimize the amount of inventory on hand. We largely purchase direct materials and components from a global network of integrated suppliers as needed to meet demand. We also purchase finished goods manufactured by third parties predominately on a make-to-order basis.
During 2023, our manufacturing operations continued to be negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions that we began experiencing in 2022, including the lack of availability of certain raw materials and components, labor shortages and shipping delays across long distance supply chains. We increased our levels of inventory on hand to mitigate challenges associated with purchasing raw materials and components in a timely manner. During the second half of 2023, the extended shipping times in our long distance supply chain started to ease.
We focus on enhancing the efficiency of our manufacturing operations, and we also seek to reduce costs through our global sourcing effort. We focus on platforming our product offering and capturing raw material and component cost savings available through lower cost suppliers around the globe. These efforts enhance our leverage with supply sources. We also focus on our reliability which may, at times, require localizing supply chains and enhancing capabilities to deliver complete and on-time orders to our customers.
Our physical distribution system utilizes commercial transport, dedicated fleet and company-owned delivery services. We utilize a network of regional distribution centers in the Americas and EMEA to minimize freight and delivery costs and improve service to our dealers and customers.
Materials
Approximately 61% of our cost of sales in 2023 related to raw materials, components and finished goods purchased from a significant number of suppliers around the world. The raw materials that we purchase and that are used in the manufacture of the components and finished goods that we purchase include steel, petroleum-based products (including plastics and foam), aluminum, other metals, wood and particleboard. Our global supply chain team continually evaluates current market conditions, the financial viability of our suppliers and available supply options on the basis of quality, reliability of supply and cost. During 2023, the availability of some materials was negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions as discussed above. In addition, the prices for many of the raw materials, components and finished goods we purchase have increased as a result of significant inflationary pressures over the last two years.
Research, Design and Development
Our extensive global research—a combination of user observations, feedback sessions and sophisticated analyses—has helped us develop social, spatial and informational insights into work effectiveness. We maintain collaborative relationships with external world-class innovators, including leading universities, think tanks and knowledge leaders, to expand and deepen our understanding of how people work.
Understanding patterns of work enables us to identify and anticipate user needs across the globe. Our design teams explore and develop prototypical solutions to address these needs, which vary from furniture and architectural solutions to single products or enhancements to existing products and across different vertical market applications such as healthcare and education. Organizationally, global design leadership directs project work, which is distributed to design studios around the world and sometimes involves external design services.
Our marketing team evaluates product concepts using several criteria, including financial return metrics, and chooses which products will be developed and launched. Designers then work closely with engineers and suppliers to co-develop products and processes that incorporate innovative user features with efficient manufacturing practices. Products are tested for performance, quality and compliance with applicable local standards and regulations.
We incurred $44.4, $45.4 and $48.1 in research, design and development expenses in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we sometimes pay royalties to external designers of our products as the products are sold, and these costs are not included in research and development expenses.

Intellectual Property
We generate and hold a significant number of patents in a number of countries in connection with the operation of our business. We also hold a number of trademarks that are very important to our identity and recognition in the marketplace. We do not believe that any material part of our business is dependent on the continued availability of any one or all of our patents or trademarks or that our business would be materially adversely affected by the loss of any of such, except the “Steelcase,” "AMQ," “Coalesse,” "Designtex," "HALCON," “Orangebox,” and “Smith System” trademarks.
We occasionally enter into license agreements under which we pay a royalty to third parties for the use of patented products, designs or process technology. We have established a global network of intellectual property licenses with our subsidiaries.
Human Capital Resources
We aspire to be a people-centered, purpose-driven company where our employees feel they belong and can be proud of their work. At Steelcase, we believe that together we will help protect the planet through our environmental commitments, help our people thrive, and sustain a culture of trust and integrity to drive towards ethical business outcomes. The following core values guide our commitments and actions:
•act with integrity,
•tell the truth,
•keep commitments,
•treat people with dignity and respect,
•promote positive relationships,
•protect the environment, and
•excel.
We believe our employees are our greatest asset, and we are dedicated to the continuous learning and professional development of every employee. We invest in our employees through multiple avenues, including providing competitive pay and benefits, sharing profits through our annual bonus programs, offering career development and professional training programs, providing inspiring and supportive spaces for our employees to work and collaborate and offering a range of services to support our employees' physical, emotional, cognitive and financial well-being.
Our leaders play a critical role in curating our culture, and we have established a set of leadership pillars and accompanying learning and development activities designed to promote empathic leadership and align leader actions with our core values and the culture we strive to create. These pillars are:
•build strong teams,

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We strive to create an environment where employees around the globe are valued, respected, accepted and encouraged to be authentic and to fully participate in our organization. We believe our unique culture helps to unlock each employee's unique contributions and amplifies the power of the individual to better serve our customers and the communities in which we live and work. We are committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion through the following key objectives:
•build diverse teams that reflect our communities,
•ensure equitable access to development opportunities across the organization, and
•create a culture of inclusion that promotes curiosity and creativity.
6
Learning and Development
Learning is how we work and how we lead. We aspire to be a learning organization that builds capabilities for the evolving needs of our business and adapts our culture as a competitive advantage. Developing our talent in consistent ways is essential to our business strategy, and we are continually focused on providing all our employees with the resources they need to reach their full potential. We approach talent development through a variety of tools, practices and experiences, including:
•connecting our employees to digital learning experiences to help them thrive,
•identifying sought-out skills from our employees and designing learning paths related to these skills,
•emphasizing an environment that values learning as an everyday practice across the organization, and
•holding frequent and purposeful conversations between employees and leaders that inspire achievement and growth.
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Our compensation and benefits programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate talented employees. Our philosophy is to:
•value the contribution of our employees,
•motivate achievement of strategic objectives that will contribute to our company’s success, and
•share profits through broad-based incentive arrangements designed to reward performance for all employees.
This philosophy is achieved through competitive pay and benefits and a variety of other offerings such as career development and well-being initiatives. We review pay ranges annually and adjust pay as needed to ensure external competitiveness and internal equity. We also share profits with both salaried and hourly employees through our annual bonus programs. We believe our philosophy helps promote a culture where our employees feel they are supported and that their contributions are valued.
Employees
As of February 24, 2023, we had approximately 11,900 employees, of which approximately 7,100 work in manufacturing and distribution and approximately 300 are part-time. Additionally, we had approximately 1,000 temporary workers who primarily work in manufacturing. Approximately 40 employees in the U.S. are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Outside the U.S., approximately 2,600 employees are represented by unions or workers' councils that operate to promote the interests of workers.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment (“Environmental Laws”). We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with all Environmental Laws. We do not believe existing Environmental Laws have had or will have any material effects upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Under certain Environmental Laws, we could be held liable, without regard to fault, for the costs of remediation associated with our existing or historical operations. We could also be held responsible for third-party property and personal injury claims or for violations of Environmental Laws relating to contamination. We are a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings relating to several contaminated properties being investigated and remediated under Environmental Laws, including as a potentially responsible party in several Superfund site cleanups. Based on our information regarding the nature and volume of wastes allegedly disposed of or released at these properties, the total estimated cleanup costs and other financially viable potentially responsible parties, we do not believe the costs to us associated with these properties will be material, either individually or in the aggregate. We have established reserves that we believe are adequate to cover our anticipated remediation costs. However, certain events could cause our actual costs to vary from the established reserves. These events include, but are not limited to: a change in governmental regulations or cleanup standards or requirements; undiscovered information regarding the nature and volume of wastes allegedly disposed of or released at these properties; the loss of other
7
potentially responsible parties that are financially capable of contributing toward cleanup costs; and other factors increasing the cost of remediation.

Item 1A.Risk Factors:
The following risk factors and other information included in this Report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not know about currently, or that we currently believe are not material, may also adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Macroeconomic and Workplace Trends Risk Factors
Failure to respond to changes in workplace trends and the competitive landscape may adversely affect our revenue and profits.
Advances in technology, changing workforce demographics, increased working from home, shifts in work styles and behaviors and the globalization of business have been changing the world of work and impacting the types and amounts of workplace products and services purchased by our customers. In recent years, these trends have resulted in changes such as:
•a decrease in overall demand for office furniture from corporate customers,
•an increase in demand for products that support individual privacy and focused work,
•an increase in demand for products that facilitate distributed collaboration, including those that enhance remote work experiences,
•an increase in demand for ancillary furniture for social and collaborative spaces in office settings,
•more frequent refreshment of workplace settings, and
•customer interest in a broader range of price points, quality and warranty coverage.
These trends have also had an impact on our competitive landscape, including (1) the emergence of smaller office furniture competitors, (2) increased competition from residential furniture and technology companies, (3) diversification by some of our larger competitors into other industries and (4) an increase in customers outsourcing workplace management to real estate management service firms and flexible real estate providers.
We compete on a variety of factors, including: brand recognition and reputation; insights from our research; the breadth of our global reach and product portfolio; product design and features; price, lead time, delivery and service; product quality; strength of our dealer network and other distributors; relationships with customers and key influencers, such as architects, designers and real estate managers; and our commitments to sustainable product design and reducing our environmental impact. If we are unsuccessful in continuing to develop and offer a wide variety of solutions which respond to changes in workplace trends, or if we or our dealers are unsuccessful in
8
competing with existing competitors and new competitive offerings which arise from outside our industry, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our industry is influenced by cyclical macroeconomic factors and future downturns may adversely affect our revenue and profits.
Our revenue is generated predominantly from the office furniture industry, and demand for office furniture is influenced by macroeconomic factors, such as corporate profits, non-residential fixed investment, white-collar employment and commercial office construction and vacancy rates, which can be difficult to predict. The office furniture industry has experienced periodic major declines in demand, driven by global economic downturns. During these downturns, our revenue declined substantially and our profitability was significantly reduced. Our revenues and profitability can be, and currently are being, impacted by adverse changes in these macroeconomic factors. Adaptations of our business to changing macroeconomic factors can result in material restructuring costs, and if we are unsuccessful in making such adaptations, our operating results may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to successfully develop, implement and manage our growth strategies.
Our longer-term success depends on our ability to successfully develop, implement and manage our growth strategies, which include:
•developing offerings to support hybrid work, including enhanced applications to support individual privacy and focused work and partnering with technology companies to create integrated collaborative solutions,
•growing our market share with existing dealers and customers in addition to serving smaller and mid-sized customers and growing our market share in learning and healthcare environments,
•realizing the value from acquisitions and potential investments in new acquisitions, and
•enhancing our capabilities to serve the work-from-home and retail markets.
If these strategies to increase our revenues are not sufficient, or if we do not execute these strategies successfully, our global market share and profitability may be adversely affected.
Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Distribution Risk Factors
We are and may continue to be adversely affected by changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs.
We and our suppliers purchase raw materials (including steel, plastics, foam, aluminum, other metals, wood and particleboard) from a significant number of sources globally. These raw materials are not rare or unique to our industry. The costs of these commodities, as well as fuel, freight, energy, labor and other input costs can fluctuate due to changes in global, regional or local supply and demand, larger currency movements and changes in tariffs and trade barriers, which can also cause supply interruptions.
During 2022 and 2023, there was significant inflation in the costs of fuel, energy and many of the raw materials used by our suppliers and us, including steel and other commodities, due to availability constraints, supply chain disruption, labor shortages, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, and other factors.
In the short-term, significant increases in raw material, commodity and other input costs can be very difficult to offset with price increases because of existing contractual commitments with our customers, and it is difficult to find effective financial instruments to hedge against such changes. As a result, our gross margins can be adversely affected in the short-term by significant increases in these costs. We implemented multiple list price increases globally in 2022 and 2023 and a temporary surcharge in the Americas in 2023. If we are not successful in passing along higher raw material, commodity and other input costs to our customers over the longer-term, because of competitive pressures, our profitability could be negatively impacted.
We are reliant on a global network of suppliers that exposes us to certain risks outside of our control.
We are reliant on the timely flow of raw materials, components and finished goods from a global network of third-party suppliers. The flow of such materials, components and goods may be affected by:
•fluctuations in the availability and quality of raw materials,
9
•disruptions caused by labor shortages and labor activities,
•ocean freight constraints and port congestion, domestic transportation and logistical challenges,
•the financial solvency of our suppliers and their supply chains, and
•damage or loss of production from accidents, natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, security concerns (including terrorist activity, armed conflict and civil or military unrest), trade embargoes, changes in tariffs, systems and equipment failures or disruptions, cyberattacks or security breaches and other causes.
Any disruptions or fluctuations in the supply and delivery of raw materials, components and finished goods or deficiencies in our ability to manage our global network of suppliers could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition. During 2023, our suppliers were negatively impacted by disruptions and fluctuations in the availability of raw materials, labor, transportation and logistics. These factors led to significant disruptions and delays in the supply of raw materials, components and finished goods to us, which negatively impacted our order lead times and our ability to consistently deliver products to our customers on time, as well as our costs of procuring such items and carrying higher than historical levels of inventory.
Changes in tariffs, global trade agreements or government procurement could adversely affect our business.
We manufacture most of our products on a regional basis, and as a result, we often export products from where they are manufactured to where they are sold within the region. We also source raw materials, components and finished goods from a global network of suppliers. In particular in 2023, approximately 35% of the products we sold to customers in the U.S., including U.S. government agencies, were manufactured outside of the U.S., predominantly by our subsidiaries in Mexico, which operate as maquiladoras. Changes in tariffs or trade agreements could impact the cost of importing our products into the countries where they are sold and the cost of raw materials and components sourced from other countries, which in turn could adversely impact our gross margins and our price competitiveness. In addition, changes in U.S. government procurement rules requiring a certain amount of domestic content in finished goods, or requiring finished goods to be produced in the U.S., could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
The lack of redundant capabilities among our regional manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our business.
Many of our products are currently produced in only one location in each of the three geographic regions in which we operate (the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific), certain components are manufactured in only one location globally and our manufacturing model is predominately make-to-order. As a result, any issue which impacts the production capabilities of one of our manufacturing locations, such as natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, disruptions in the supply of materials or components, systems and equipment failures or disruptions caused by labor activities, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We rely largely on a network of independent dealers to market, deliver and install our products, and disruptions and increasing consolidations within our dealer network could adversely affect our business.
Our business is dependent on our ability to manage our relationships with our independent dealers. From time to time, we or a dealer may choose to terminate our relationship, or the dealer could face financial insolvency or difficulty in transitioning to new ownership, and establishing a new dealer in a market can take considerable time and resources. Disruption of dealer coverage within a specific local market could have an adverse impact on our business within the affected market. The loss or termination of a significant number of dealers or the inability to establish new dealers could cause difficulties in marketing and distributing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. In the event that a dealer in a strategic market experiences financial difficulty, we may choose to make financial investments in the dealership, which would reduce the risk of disruption but increase our financial exposure. Alternatively, we may elect to purchase and operate dealers in certain markets, which would also require use of our capital and increase our financial exposure.
We rely on our dealers to sell, deliver and install products to our customers, and their ability to perform and their financial conditions could be affected by events such as natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, systems and equipment failures or disruptions, cyberattacks or security breaches. A significant disruption in the operations of our dealers could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
10
In certain cases, our diversification and growth strategies into adjacent markets are driving the need for our dealers to invest in additional resources to support our products and markets. Some of our smaller dealers do not have the scale to support such investments, and as a result, we have seen and may continue to see increased consolidation within our dealer network. This increased concentration and size of dealers could increase our exposure to the risks discussed above.
Global Footprint Risk Factors
Our global presence subjects us to risks that may negatively affect our profitability and financial condition.
We have manufacturing facilities, sales locations and offices in many countries, and as a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our success depends on our ability to manage the complexity associated with designing, developing, manufacturing and selling our solutions in a variety of countries.Our global presence is also subject to market risks, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition, including:
•differing business practices, cultural factors and regulatory requirements,
•political, social and economic instability, natural disasters, pandemics, security concerns, including terrorist activity, armed conflict and civil or military unrest and global crises or health issues, and
•intellectual property protection challenges.
Our global footprint makes us vulnerable to currency exchange rate fluctuations and currency controls.
We primarily sell our products in U.S. dollars and euros, but we generate some of our revenues and pay some of our expenses in other currencies. While we seek to manage our foreign exchange risk largely through operational means by matching revenue with same-currency costs, our results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. We use foreign currency derivatives to hedge some of the near-term volatility of these exposures. There can be no assurance that such hedging will be economically effective. If we are not successful in managing currency exchange rate fluctuations, they could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We operate globally in multiple currencies, but we translate our results into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, and thus our reported results may be positively or negatively impacted by the strengthening or weakening of the other currencies in which we operate against the U.S. dollar.
In addition, we face restrictions in certain countries that limit or prevent the transfer of funds to other countries or the exchange of the local currency to other currencies, which could have a negative impact on our profitability. We also face risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates that may lead to a decline in the value of the funds held in certain jurisdictions, as well as the value of intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies.
Financial Risk Factors
We may be required to record impairment charges related to goodwill, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
We have net goodwill of $276.8 as of February 24, 2023. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in Q4 or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Poor performance in portions of our business where we have goodwill, including failure to achieve projected performance from acquisitions, or declines in the market value of our equity, may result in impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in corporate tax laws could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rate could be affected by changes in the mix of our earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. In addition, such tax
11
law changes, if enacted, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. A reduction in applicable tax rates may require us to revalue and write-down our net deferred tax assets. As of February 24, 2023, we had net deferred tax assets of $109.3, and approximately 65% of our net deferred tax assets were subject to recovery in the U.S.
There may be significant limitations to our utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards totaling $36.5 and $17.9, respectively, against which valuation allowances totaling $3.1 have been recorded. NOL carryforwards are primarily related to foreign jurisdictions. Tax credit carryforwards consist of U.S. foreign tax credits and foreign investment tax credits. We may be unable to generate sufficient taxable income from future operations in the jurisdictions in which we maintain deferred tax assets related to NOL and tax credit carryforwards, or implement tax, business or other planning strategies, to fully utilize the recorded value of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards. These deferred tax assets are recorded in various currencies that are also subject to foreign exchange risk, which could reduce the amount we may ultimately realize. Additionally, future changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws may limit our ability to fully utilize our NOL and tax credit carryforwards.
General Risk Factors
We rely on the integrity and security of our information technology systems, and our business could be materially adversely impacted by extended disruptions, significant security breaches or other compromises of these systems.
We rely on information technology systems to operate and manage our business and to process, maintain and safeguard information essential to our business as well as information relating to our customers, dealers, suppliers and employees. These systems are vulnerable to events beyond our reasonable control, including cyberattacks and security breaches, the need for system upgrades and support, telecommunication and internet failures, natural disasters and power loss. Such events could result in operational slowdowns, shutdowns or other difficulties; loss of revenues or market share; compromise or loss of sensitive or proprietary information; destruction or corruption of data; costs of remediation, upgrades, repair or recovery; breaches of obligations to third parties under privacy laws or contracts; or damage to our reputation or customer relationships; each of which, depending on the extent or duration of the event, could materially adversely impact our business, operating results or financial condition. We maintain insurance coverage, which may cover some of these risks, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable policies, but such coverage may not be available or sufficient to cover all of the losses that may arise.
We may be adversely affected by security breaches, errors or disruptions relating to our software and software-as-a-service offerings.
We sell enterprise resource planning software and software-as-a-service offerings to our dealers. In connection with some of these offerings, we collect and store data belonging to our dealers, and we rely on third parties, such as cloud hosting providers and other service providers, to perform some of our obligations. If the security measures we and our third-party vendors use are breached, if there are errors in our software or if there are any service interruptions caused by other events, our offerings may not operate properly, dealer data could be lost or compromised, and our dealers’ businesses may be disrupted. In such events, we may incur legal liabilities, lost business or harm to our brand reputation, which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We may be adversely impacted by losses and reputational damage related to product defects.
Product defects can occur within our own product development and manufacturing processes or through our reliance on third parties for product development and manufacturing activities. We incur various expenses related to product defects, including product warranty costs, product recall and retrofit costs and product liability costs, which can have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, the reputation of our brands may be diminished by product defects and recalls.
We maintain a reserve for our product warranty costs based on certain estimates and our knowledge of current events and actions. While we continue to make significant investments to improve product quality, our actual
12
warranty costs may exceed our reserve, resulting in a need to increase our accruals for warranty charges. We purchase insurance coverage to reduce our exposure to significant levels of product liability claims and maintain a reserve for our self-insured losses based upon estimates of the aggregate liability using claims experience and actuarial assumptions. Incorrect estimates or any significant increase in the rate of our product defect expenses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:
The following review of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere within this Report.
This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth, (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a description of these measures and why management believes they are also useful to investors.

The current year results of operations are presented in comparison to the prior year within the sections below. For a discussion of the 2022 results of operations in comparison to 2021, see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
In 2023, our revenue, gross margin and earnings per share improved compared to the prior year as year-over-year pricing benefits exceeded year-over-year inflation impacts. During 2022 and the first half of 2023, broad-based supply chain disruptions, such as labor shortages and delays in long distance supply chains, impacted our ability to manufacture and complete deliveries to our customers, and we experienced significant inflation in steel, fuel and other commodities. In response to the inflationary pressures, we implemented multiple list price increases globally in 2022 and 2023 and a temporary surcharge in the Americas in 2023. As of the end of 2023, the benefits of our cumulative pricing actions approximated the cumulative inflation we incurred over the past two years, and we expect to have continued gross margin improvement from our pricing actions in 2024. In addition, supply chain disruptions began to ease in the second half of 2023 which led to reduced lead times and faster order fulfillment.
Our 17% revenue growth in 2023 was driven by the benefits of our pricing actions and increased volume, including revenue from our acquisition of HALCON in Q2 2023. We had a strong order backlog at the start of the year and broad-based order growth in the Americas and EMEA in the first half of the year. In Q3 2023, orders declined compared to the prior year in connection with softening industry demand patterns, and in Q4 2023, the year-over-year order declines improved compared to Q3 2023, primarily due to increased project orders from large corporate customers. At the end of the year, our backlog of customer orders was approximately $690, which was 14% lower than the prior year. In response to the softening demand patterns in Q3 2023, we took actions to reduce our operational spending which included workforce reductions in the Americas and actions to wind down our customer aviation function.
We recorded net income of $35.3 and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 in 2023 compared to net income of $4.0 and diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in 2022. Operating income of $65.5 in 2023 represented an increase of $45.4 compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, higher volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses and $19.2 of restructuring costs related to workforce reductions in the Americas and wind down of our customer aviation function. We reported adjusted operating income of $107.5 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.56 in 2023, and we had adjusted operating income of $34.9 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.13 in the prior year.
Revenue of $3,232.6 in 2023 represented an increase of $459.9 or 16.6% compared to the prior year, driven by growth across all segments. Approximately $325 of the increase was related to higher pricing benefits, and approximately $210 was related to higher volume (which included approximately $65 from acquisitions), partially offset by approximately $78 of unfavorable currency translation effects, primarily in EMEA. Revenue increased by 22.9% in the Americas, 1.9% in EMEA and 4.6% in the Other category. Organic revenue growth was $480.3 or 17% compared to the prior year, with 20% in the Americas, 13% in EMEA and 8% in the Other category.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 100 basis points in 2023 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $170 of higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, and the benefits of higher volume, partially offset by approximately $33 of higher fixed overhead costs and labor inefficiencies and
18
$18.2 of higher variable compensation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 210 basis points in the Americas but increased by 160 basis points in EMEA and by 50 basis points in the Other category.
Operating expenses increased by $95.8 in 2023, but decreased by 90 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in 2023 included:
•$38.8 of higher variable compensation expense,
•$28.4 of higher marketing, product development and sales expenses,
•$24.4 from acquisitions,
•approximately $13 of higher spending in other functional areas and employee costs, and
•a $5.2 increase in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability,
•partially offset by $17.2 of favorable currency translation effects.
Operating expenses included $12.9 of gains on sales of fixed assets in 2023 compared to a $15.4 gain on the sale of land in 2022.
We recorded restructuring costs of $19.2 in the Americas in 2023. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Our 2023 effective tax rate was 31.6% compared to a 2022 effective tax rate of (150.0)%, which included $3.6 of discrete tax benefits. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Adjusted operating income of $141.2 in 2023 represented an improvement of $86.3 compared to the prior year.
The Americas revenue represented 72.4% of consolidated revenue in 2023. In 2023, revenue of $2,340.8 represented an increase of $435.8 or 22.9% compared to the prior year. The increase included approximately $250 related to higher pricing benefits and approximately $190 related to higher volume (including approximately $55 from acquisitions). Organic revenue growth in 2023 was $387.5 or 20% compared to the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 210 basis points in 2023 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $150 of higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, and the benefits of

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are: (1) organic revenue growth, (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share.
Organic Revenue Growth
We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency translation effects. Organic revenue growth is calculated by adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies and to use current year average exchange rates in the calculation of foreign-denominated revenue. We believe organic revenue growth is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of our revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges and restructuring costs. We define adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges and restructuring costs, net of related income tax effects.
•Amortization of purchased intangible assets: We may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when we acquire companies. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. We believe that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers. As our business strategy in recent years has included an increased number of acquisitions, intangible asset amortization has become more significant.
•Goodwill impairment charges: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and identifiable intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in Q4, or earlier if conditions indicate that there may be a potential for impairment, and goodwill impairment charges may be recorded as a result of these assessments. We believe that adjusting for goodwill impairment charges provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
23
•Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs may be recorded as our business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. We believe that adjusting for restructuring costs, which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents are used to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. During normal business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 for cash and cash equivalents to fund operating requirements. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility, and from time to time, we may allow our cash and cash equivalents to temporarily fall below our targeted range to fund acquisitions and other growth initiatives.

As of February 24, 2023, we held a total of $90.4 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, 52% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 48%, or $43.0, was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China (including Hong Kong), Mexico, India, Malaysia and the U.K.
COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for long-term benefit obligations. However, COLI can also be used as a source of liquidity. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Availability under credit facilities may be reduced related to compliance with applicable covenants. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

Our liquidity position, funds available under our credit facilities, cash generated from future operations and proceeds from assets held for sale are expected to be sufficient to finance our known and foreseeable liquidity needs, including our material cash requirements.
26
Material Cash Requirements
Our material committed cash requirements are as follows:
•Debt: Principal obligations on our debt are $35.7 during 2024 and $445.5 thereafter. Interest obligations on our debt are estimated to be $23.4 during 2024 and approximately $23 in each year thereafter until maturity. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•Operating leases: We have commitments related to corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2036. Minimum payments under our operating lease obligations are estimated to be $52.5 during 2024 and $188.0 thereafter. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•Employee benefit and compensation obligations: We have obligations related to contributions and benefit payments expected to be made for post-retirement, pension and defined contribution plans and deferred compensation plans. Our obligations related to post-retirement benefit plans are not contractual, and the plans could be amended at the discretion of our Compensation Committee. Payments related to post-retirement and pension plans are estimated to be $8.1 during 2024 and $57.5 from 2025 through 2033. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Our deferred compensation obligations are estimated to be $6.2 during 2024 and $39.6 thereafter. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
We also have other planned material usages of cash which we consider discretionary. This includes plans for capital expenditures, which are expected to be approximately $70 to $80 in 2024. In addition, we fund dividend payments as and when approved by our Board of Directors. On March 22, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.10 per share, or approximately $11, to be paid in Q1 2024.
The amounts included above are as of February 24, 2023. Our material cash requirements are subject to fluctuation based on business requirements, economic volatility or investments in strategic initiatives. The amounts of these obligations could change materially over time as new contracts or obligations are initiated and existing contracts or obligations are terminated or modified.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on historical data and management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates if different conditions occur. The accounting estimates that typically involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are listed and explained below. These estimates were discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and affect all of our segments.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are reviewed with our advisors and can include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows related to acquired dealer relationships, trademarks and know-how/designs and require estimation of useful lives and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. During 2023, we acquired HALCON. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Annually in Q4, or earlier if conditions indicate it is necessary, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared to an estimate of its fair value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying
27
value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. In 2023, we evaluated goodwill using nine reporting units: the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific, Designtex, AMQ, Smith System, Orangebox U.K., Viccarbe and HALCON.
During Q4 2023, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill in our reporting units. In the test for potential impairment, we measured the estimated fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation method. The DCF analysis calculated the present value of projected cash flows and a residual value using discount rates that ranged from 12% to 14%. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows in measuring fair value. Assumptions used in our DCF valuations, such as discount rates, forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins and estimated capital investment, are consistent with our internal projections as of the time of the assessment. If we had concluded that it was appropriate to increase the discount rate in our analysis by 100 basis points to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, the fair value of each of our reporting units would still have exceeded its carrying value. These assumptions could change over time, which may result in future impairment charges. We corroborated the results of the DCF analysis with a market-based approach that used observable comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates. There were no impairment charges recorded for any reporting units in 2023.
As of February 24, 2023, we had remaining goodwill recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows:
Reportable SegmentGoodwill
Americas$257.6 
EMEA8.5 
Other category10.7 
Total$276.8 
As of the valuation date, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by at least 20%. See Note 2 and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Income Taxes
Our annual effective tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense, measuring our expected ability to realize deferred tax assets and evaluating our tax positions.
We are audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under the Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”). Under CAP, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service works with large business taxpayers to identify and resolve issues prior to the filing of a tax return. Accordingly, we expect to record minimal liabilities for U.S. Federal uncertain tax positions. Tax positions are reviewed regularly for state, local and non-U.S. tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence. These expectations require significant judgment and are developed using forecasts of future taxable income that are consistent with the internal plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business as of the time of the evaluation. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. A 1% change in statutory tax rates used to compute our deferred tax assets and liabilities would have increased or decreased our income tax expense in 2023 by approximately $3.6.
Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. As of February 24, 2023, we recorded tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards of $36.5. We also have recorded valuation allowances totaling $3.1 against these assets, which reduced our recorded tax benefit to $33.4. It is considered more likely than not that a $33.4 cash benefit will be realized on these carryforwards in future periods. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax, business and other planning strategies will enable us to utilize the carryforwards. To the extent that
28
available evidence raises doubt about the realization of a deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance would be established or adjusted. A change in judgment regarding our expected ability to realize deferred tax assets would be accounted for as a discrete tax expense or benefit in the period in which it occurs.
Additionally, we have deferred tax assets related to tax credit carryforwards of $17.9 comprised primarily of U.S. foreign tax credits, U.S. general business credits and investment tax credits granted by the Czech Republic. The U.S. foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforward periods are 10 and 20 years, respectively. Utilization of foreign tax credits is restricted to 21% of foreign source taxable income in that year. We have projected our pretax domestic earnings and foreign source income and expect to utilize $9.5 of excess foreign tax credits and $4.1 of general business credits within the allowable carryforward periods. The carryforward period for the Czech Republic investment tax credits is also 10 years. We have projected our pretax earnings in the Czech Republic and expect to utilize the entire $4.3 of credits within the allowable carryover period. Valuation allowances are recorded to the extent realization of the tax credit carryforwards is not more likely than not.
See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The post-retirement medical and life insurance plans are unfunded. As of February 24, 2023, approximately 75% of our unfunded defined benefit pension obligations is related to our non-qualified supplemental retirement plan that is limited to a select group of management approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The post-retirement medical and life insurance plans were frozen to new participants in 2003. The non-qualified supplemental retirement plan was frozen to new participants in 2016, and the benefits were capped for existing participants. A portion of our investments in whole life and variable life COLI policies with a net cash surrender value of $157.3 as of February 24, 2023 are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for post-retirement medical benefits, deferred compensation and defined benefit pension plan obligations. The asset values of the COLI policies are not segregated in a trust specifically for the plans and thus are not considered plan assets. Changes in the values of these policies have no effect on the post-retirement benefits expense, defined benefit pension expense or benefit obligations recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
We recognize the cost of benefits provided during retirement over the employees’ active working lives. Inherent in this approach is the requirement to use various actuarial assumptions to predict and measure costs and obligations many years prior to the settlement date. Key actuarial assumptions that require significant management judgment and have a material impact on the measurement of our consolidated benefits expense and benefit obligations include, among others, the discount rate and health care cost trend rates. These and other assumptions are reviewed with our actuaries and updated annually based on relevant external and internal factors and information, including, but not limited to, benefit payments, expenses paid from the plan, rates of termination, medical inflation, regulatory requirements, plan changes and governmental coverage changes.
To conduct our annual review of discount rates, we perform a matching exercise of projected plan cash flows against spot rates on a yield curve comprised of high-quality corporate bonds as of the measurement date (the Ryan ALM Top Third curve). The measurement dates for our retiree benefit plans are consistent with the last day in February. Accordingly, we select discount rates to measure our benefit obligations that are consistent with market indices at the end of February. In 2023, the weighted average discount rate used to determine the estimated fair value of our defined benefit pension plan obligations was increased to 4.80% from 2.50%. The weighted-average discount rate used to determine the estimated fair value of our post-retirement plan obligations was increased to 5.47% from 3.38%. Selecting these discount rates in 2023 resulted in a $13.1 actuarial gain recorded related to our
29
defined benefit pension plan obligations and a $4.9 actuarial gain recorded related to our post-retirement plan obligations.
Based on consolidated benefit obligations as of February 24, 2023, a one percentage point decline in the discount rate used for benefit plan measurement purposes would have changed the 2023 consolidated benefit obligations by approximately $7. All obligation-related actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a straight-line method over the average remaining service period of active plan participants.
To conduct our annual review of healthcare cost trend rates, we model our actual claims cost data over a historical period, including an analysis of the pre-65 age group and other important demographic components of our covered retiree population. This data is adjusted to eliminate the impact of plan changes and other factors that would tend to distort the underlying healthcare cost inflation trends. Our initial healthcare cost trend rate is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary to remain consistent with recent historical experience and our expectations regarding short-term future trends. As of February 24, 2023, our initial rate of 7.50% for pre-age 65 retirees was trended downward by each year, until the ultimate trend rate of 4.50% was reached. The ultimate trend rate is adjusted annually, as necessary, to approximate the current economic view on the rate of long-term inflation plus an appropriate healthcare cost premium. Post-age 65 trend rates are not applicable as our plan provides a fixed subsidy for post-age 65 benefits.
Despite the previously described policies for selecting key actuarial assumptions, we periodically experience material differences between assumed and actual experience. Our consolidated net unamortized prior service costs of $0.5 and net actuarial losses of $8.7 related to our defined benefit pension plans and net actuarial gains of $18.3 related to our post-retirement plans, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, in written and oral statements, we discuss our expectations regarding future events and our plans and objectives for future operations. These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to us, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” "target" or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and vary from our expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters, pandemics and other Force Majeure events; cyberattacks; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in this Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:
We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange, interest rates, commodity prices and fixed income and equity prices, which could affect our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily on sales and cost commitments, anticipated sales and purchases, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the
30
operating entity. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk largely through operational means, including matching revenue with same-currency costs and assets with same-currency liabilities. We transacted business globally in 15 primary currencies in 2023 and 2022, of which the most significant were the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Indian rupee, the Australian dollar, the U.K. pound sterling and Malaysian ringgit. Revenue from foreign locations represented approximately 30% of our consolidated revenue in 2023 and approximately 33% in 2022. We actively manage the foreign currency exposures that are associated with committed foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business at the local entity level. Exposures that cannot be naturally offset within a local entity to an immaterial amount are often netted with offsetting exposures at other entities or hedged with foreign currency derivatives. We do not use foreign currency derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold.
We estimate that an additional 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against local currencies would have increased operating income by approximately $14.3 in 2023 and by approximately $8 in 2022. These estimates assume no changes other than the U.S. dollar exchange rate itself. However, this quantitative measure has inherent limitations. The sensitivity analysis disregards the possibility that U.S. dollar and other exchange rates can move in opposite directions and that gains from one currency may or may not be offset by losses from another currency.
The translation of the assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries is completed using the foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of the fiscal year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until a sale or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the international subsidiary takes place. In certain markets, we could recognize a significant gain or loss related to unrealized cumulative translation adjustments if we were to exit the market and liquidate our net investment. As of February 24, 2023 and February 25, 2022, the cumulative net currency translation adjustments reduced shareholders’ equity by $76.0 and $49.4, respectively.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflect transaction gains and losses, which arise from monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a business unit’s functional currency and are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2023, net foreign currency exchange gains were $1.8, and in 2022, net foreign currency exchange gains were $1.1.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term borrowings. Our cash equivalents are primarily held in money market funds invested in U.S. government debt securities. The risk on our short-term and long-term borrowings is primarily related to a floating interest rate loan with a balance of $32.2 and $34.9 as of February 24, 2023 and February 25, 2022, respectively. The loan bears a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.20%.
We estimate a 1% increase in interest rates would have increased our net income by less than $1 in 2023 and 2022, primarily as a result of higher interest income on our cash equivalents and borrowings. However, this quantitative measure has inherent limitations since not all of our investments are in similar asset classes.
See Note 7 and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to commodity price risk on raw material, component and finished good purchases. The raw materials that we purchase and that are used in the manufacture of the components and finished goods are not rare or unique to our industry. The cost of steel, petroleum-based products (including plastics and foam), aluminum, other metals, wood, particleboard and other commodities, such as fuel and energy, have fluctuated due to changes in global supply and demand. Our gross margins could be affected if these types of costs continue to fluctuate or changes in global supply and demand force us to procure materials from outside our current supply chains. We actively manage these raw material costs through global sourcing initiatives and price increases on our products. However, in the short-term, significant increases in raw material costs, commodity and other input costs can be very difficult to offset with price increases because of contractual agreements with our customers, and it is difficult to find effective financial instruments to hedge against such changes.
31
As a result of changes in commodity costs, cost of sales increased by approximately $150 during 2023 and by approximately $127 in 2022. The increase in commodity costs during 2023 was driven primarily by commodities, fuel and logistics. The increase in commodity costs during 2022 was driven primarily by higher steel and other commodity costs, which reflected rising costs during each quarter of the year. We estimate that an additional 1% increase in commodity prices, assuming no offsetting benefit of price increases, would have decreased our operating income by approximately $13 in 2023 and 2022. This quantitative measure has inherent limitations given the likelihood of implementing pricing actions to offset significant increases in commodity prices.
Fixed Income and Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to fixed income and equity price risk primarily on the cash surrender value associated with our investments in variable life COLI policies, which totaled $54.3 as of February 24, 2023. Our variable life COLI policies were allocated at approximately 65% fixed income and 35% equity investments as of February 24, 2023.
We estimate a 10% adverse change in the value of the equity portion of our variable life COLI investments would reduce our net income by approximately $4 in 2023 and approximately $3 in 2022. However, given that a portion of the investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for deferred compensation obligations, and the related earnings associated with these obligations are driven by participant investment elections that often include equity market allocations, any adverse change in the equity portion of our variable life COLI investments may be partially offset by reductions in deferred compensation liabilities. We estimate that the risk of changes in the value of the variable life COLI investments due to other factors, including changes in interest rates, yield curve and portfolio duration, would not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. This quantitative measure has inherent limitations since not all of our investments are in similar asset classes.

Goodwill – AMQ Reporting Unit – Refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company used the discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates, forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The Company corroborates the results determined using the income approach with a market-based approach that uses observable comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates. Based on the results of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company concluded that no goodwill impairment existed for the year ended February 24, 2023. The consolidated goodwill balance was $276.8 million as of February 24, 2023, of which $31.5 million was allocated to the AMQ Reporting Unit (“AMQ”).
35
We identified goodwill for AMQ as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of AMQ given the sensitivity of operating changes on future cash flows for this reporting unit. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins and the selection of the discount rate.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins and the selection of the discount rate used by management to estimate the fair value of AMQ included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of AMQ, such as controls related to forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins and the selection of the discount rate.
•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue growth rates and operating margins by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins by comparing the forecasts to:
–Historical revenues and operating margins.
–Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.
–Forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rate by:
–Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
–Developing a range of independent estimates and performing a sensitivity analysis and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
