NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Interface,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Interface, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them, unless the context requires otherwise.
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Commission.
The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2023, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
The six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023 both include 26 weeks. The three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023 both include 13 weeks.
Risks and Uncertainties
Global economic challenges, including the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the slow macro environment in China could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. In connection with the Cyber Event discussed below, security breaches may expose us to fines and other liabilities to the extent sensitive data stored in our IT systems, including data related to customers, suppliers or employees, are misappropriated. The Company considered these impacts and subsequent general uncertainties and volatility in the global economy on the assumptions and estimates used herein. These uncertainties could result in a future material adverse effect to the amounts reported within the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements if actual results differ from these estimates.
Cybersecurity Event
On November 20, 2022, we discovered a cybersecurity attack, perpetrated by unauthorized third parties, affecting our IT systems (the “Cyber Event”). In response to this Cyber Event, we notified law enforcement and took steps to supplement existing security monitoring, including scanning and protective measures. The investigation of the Cyber Event by our forensic experts was completed during fiscal year 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU requires public entities on an annual basis to disclose a rate reconciliation with explicit categories, as outlined in the ASU, and requires additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet certain quantitative thresholds. Other disclosures include disaggregation of income taxes paid, pre-tax income, and income tax expense. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its income tax disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU requires additional disclosures in annual and interim periods for significant segment expenses included in the measure of segment profit provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment as well as a description of its composition is also required. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its segment disclosures.
NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, revenue from sales of modular carpet, resilient flooring, rubber flooring, and other flooring-related material was approximately 98% of total revenue. The remaining 2% of revenue was generated from the installation of carpet and other flooring-related material for both three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023.
Disaggregation of Revenue
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, revenue from the Company’s customers is broken down by geography as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
Geography | June 30, 2024 | | July 2, 2023 | | June 30, 2024 | | July 2, 2023 |
Americas | 62.0 | % | | 61.1 | % | | 60.5 | % | | 59.2 | % |
Europe | 27.6 | | | 28.0 | | | 29.4 | | | 29.9 | |
Asia-Pacific | 10.4 | | | 10.9 | | | 10.1 | | | 10.9 | |
Revenue from the Company’s customers in the Americas corresponds to the AMS reportable segment, and the EAAA reportable segment includes revenue from the Europe and Asia-Pacific geographies. See Note 10 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information.
NOTE 3 – INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Inventories, net | $ | 281,074 | | | $ | 279,079 | |
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.
The Company includes all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding for basic EPS as these awards are considered participating securities. Any unvested stock awards considered non-participating securities are included in diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS that would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, 1,476,804 and 1,322,278 respectively, of non-participating securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive.

(1) Represents the weighted average rate of interest for borrowings under the Syndicated Credit Facility and the stated rate of interest for the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028, without the effect of debt issuance costs.
Syndicated Credit Facility
The Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility (the “Facility”) provides to the Company U.S. denominated and multicurrency term loans and provides to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving credit facility. Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on SOFR-based and alternative currency loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable SOFR rate or alternative currency rate, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.
Fees for commercial letters of credit are computed as a percentage of the amount available to be drawn under such letters of credit. Fees for standby letters of credit are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin of the amount available to be drawn under such standby letters of credit, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under the Facility approximated its fair value as the Facility bears interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. The fair value of borrowings under the Facility is estimated using observable market rates and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of the term loan borrowings, which are due on the last day of the calendar quarter.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Facility and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.
Senior Notes due 2028
The 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) bear an interest rate at 5.50% per annum and mature on December 1, 2028. Interest is paid semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under its Facility.
As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $283.2 million, compared with a net carrying value recorded in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet of $296.9 million ($300.0 million gross, excluding the impact of $3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs). The fair value of the Senior Notes is derived using quoted prices for similar instruments and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s Senior Notes and term loans under the Facility are reflected as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As these fees are expensed over the life of the outstanding borrowing, the debt balance will increase by the same amount as the fees that are expensed. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unamortized debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of long-term debt were $3.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of revolving debt, which include underwriting, legal and other direct costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.2 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt.

Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2024, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of an amendment and restatement of the Interface, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the Amended and Restated Plan on or after the effective date of the plan is the sum of 3,200,000 shares not previously authorized for issuance under any plan, plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the original Interface, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”) but not subject to outstanding awards under the Original Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan, plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to the outstanding awards under the Original Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan, including any shares that become available due to the forfeiture, termination or cancellation of such awards. No award may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan.
Restricted Stock Awards
Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants was $1.4 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The Company has reduced its expense for any restricted stock forfeited during the period.
The following table summarizes restricted stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as well as activity during the six months then ended:

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company determines that an operating segment exists if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and (iii) has discrete financial information. Additionally, accounting standards require the utilization of a “management approach” to report the financial results of operating segments, which is based on information used by the CODM to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The Company determined that it has two operating segments organized by geographical area – namely (a) Americas (“AMS”) and (b) Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment includes the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas.
Pursuant to the management approach discussed above, the Company’s CODM, our chief executive officer, evaluates performance at the AMS and EAAA operating segment levels and makes operating and resource allocation decisions based on segment adjusted operating income (“AOI”), which includes allocations of corporate selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and allocations of global support SG&A as discussed below. AOI excludes: nora purchase accounting amortization; Cyber Event impact; property casualty loss; and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net. Intersegment revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, were $24.5 million and $41.3 million, respectively, and intersegment revenues for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, were $24.7 million and $47.3 million, respectively. Intersegment revenues are eliminated from net sales presented below since these amounts are not included in the information provided to the CODM.
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments – AMS and EAAA, as each operating segment meets the quantitative thresholds defined in the accounting guidance.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a cost center realignment initiative to centralize certain global/shared functions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses for these global support functions were allocated to AOI for each reportable segment consistent with the allocation methodology used to allocate corporate overhead in prior periods. Prior year AOI amounts below were not recast as there was no material impact to the measure of segment profit for each reportable segment. There were no changes to the composition of the Company’s operating or reportable segments.
Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023 is presented in the following table:

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) and records any changes affecting the estimated AETR in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of $13.4 million on pre-tax income of $50.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.7%, as compared to a total income tax provision of $5.5 million on pre-tax income of $20.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.7% during the six months ended July 2, 2023. Although the year-over-year change in rate was flat, the effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by an increase in tax benefits related to share-based compensation and favorable changes related to the limitation on the deduction of business interest expense under Internal Revenue Code section 163(j), which were offset by a decrease in favorable tax benefits related to the repatriation of previously taxed foreign earnings realized during the six months ended July 2, 2023.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) published Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2024, we expect to meet the Transitional Country-by-Country (CbCR) Safe Harbor rules for most if not all jurisdictions and do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. We will continue to closely monitor ongoing developments and evaluate any potential impact on future periods.
In the first six months of 2024, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.4 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had accrued approximately $5.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2024, reflects a reduction of $2.8 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.
Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including the progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitations. While it is reasonably possible that some of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the recognition of such amounts will have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
NOTE 13 – ITEMS RECLASSIFIED FROM ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

NOTE 14 – ASSETS DISPOSED
During the second quarter of 2023, pursuant to a previously announced plan of reorganization, the Company completed the sale of its Thailand manufacturing facility for a selling price of $6.6 million and recognized a gain of $2.7 million. The gain is recorded in restructuring, asset impairment, and other gains, net, in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and is attributable to the EAAA reportable segment.
The Company determined that the Thailand facility sale did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

Executive Overview
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we had consolidated net sales of $346.6 million, up 5.2% compared to $329.6 million in the second quarter last year, primarily due to higher customer demand — particularly in the education and corporate office market segments. Consolidated operating income was $38.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $28.9 million in the second quarter last year, primarily due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin as a result of increased volume, higher selling prices, and lower raw material costs. Consolidated net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $22.6 million or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $15.8 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the second quarter last year.
During the first six months of 2024, we had consolidated net sales of $636.4 million, up 1.8% compared to $625.4 million in the first six months of last year, primarily due to higher customer demand — particularly in the education market segment partially offset by decreases in the retail and healthcare market segments. Consolidated operating income was $62.6 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $38.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin as discussed above. During the first six months of 2023, inflationary pressures on raw materials and lower manufacturing fixed cost absorption adversely impacted our gross profit margin. Consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $36.7 million or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $15.1 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the same period last year.
Cybersecurity Event
As previously disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 23, 2022, we discovered a cybersecurity attack on November 20, 2022, perpetrated by unauthorized third parties, affecting our IT systems. The investigation of the Cyber Event was completed in fiscal year 2023. We have cyber risk insurance and anticipate that a portion of our costs and expenses related to the Cyber Event will ultimately be recovered by insurance.
Our IT systems face a myriad of cybersecurity threats, including, without limitation, hacking, computer viruses, denial of service attacks, malware, ransomware, phishing scams, compromised or irretrievable backups, and other cyber attacks. Any of these events which deny us use of vital IT systems may seriously disrupt our normal business operations and lead to production or shipping stoppages, revenue loss, and reputational harm. We also expect to incur ongoing costs for enhanced data security against unauthorized access to, or manipulation of, our systems and data.
Impact of Macroeconomic Trends
Recent disruptions in economic markets due to inflation, high interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war, a fairly stabilized but still challenging supply chain environment, slow market conditions in certain parts of the globe, and significant financial pressures in the commercial office market globally, all pose challenges which may adversely affect our future performance. To mitigate these impacts, we plan to continue evaluating our cost structure and global manufacturing footprint to identify and activate opportunities to decrease costs and optimize our global cost structure.

Segment Operating Results
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a cost center realignment initiative to centralize certain global/shared functions. For the first six months of 2024, SG&A expenses for these global support functions were allocated to adjusted operating income (“AOI”) for each reportable segment consistent with the allocation methodology used to allocate corporate overhead in prior periods. Prior year AOI amounts below were not recast as there was no material impact to the measure of segment profit for each reportable segment. There were no changes to the composition of the Company’s operating or reportable segments.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At June 30, 2024, the Company had $94.2 million in cash. At that date, the Company had $83.9 million in term loan borrowings, $7.3 million in revolving loan borrowings, and $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under our Facility, and we had $300.0 million of Senior Notes outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, we had additional borrowing capacity of $291.0 million under the Facility. We anticipate that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our obligations for the next 12 months, and we expect to generate sufficient cash to meet our long-term obligations.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under its Facility. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries and certain non-material domestic subsidiaries are considered non-guarantors. Net sales for the non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $145 million and $278 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and net sales for the non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $142 million and $283 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023, respectively. Total indebtedness of the non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $128 million and $133 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Accounts receivable, net, were $179.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $163.4 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $16.2 million was primarily due to the impact of higher net sales as a result of increased customer demand in the second quarter of 2024.
Inventories, net, were $281.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $279.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $2.0 million was primarily due to finished goods inventory build attributable to higher expected customer demand in the remainder of 2024, partially offset by lower raw material costs.
Analysis of Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended |
| June 30, 2024 | | July 2, 2023 |
| (in thousands) |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 34,158 | | | $ | 47,924 | |
Investing activities | (11,567) | | | (4,738) | |
Financing activities | (36,960) | | | (49,063) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (1,942) | | | 1,248 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | (16,311) | | | (4,629) | |
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 110,498 | | | 97,564 | |
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $ | 94,187 | | | $ | 92,935 | |
Cash provided by operating activities was $34.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which represents a decrease of $13.8 million from the prior year comparable period. Higher sales during the first six months of 2024 contributed to higher accounts receivable balances resulting in a use of cash for the current period. The prior year comparable period includes a source of cash from accounts receivable collections compared with the first six months of 2024, primarily attributable to delays in customer billings from the Cyber Event, in which those delayed billings were collected in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, the increase in inventories during the first six months of 2024, as described above, resulted in a greater use of cash compared with the same period in the prior year.
