NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 22, 2019 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 22, 2019 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

  1. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) , to address the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on tax effects presented in other comprehensive income. The amended guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Act. We adopted this guidance in Q1 2020 and elected to not reclassify these amounts to retained earnings as the effect on our consolidated financial statements was not material.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . We adopted this guidance in Q1 2020, and the adoption did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The core principle of the new lease standard is to increase the decision usefulness and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease obligations on the balance sheet with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. We adopted this guidance and related amendments in Q1 2020 and it resulted in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 for additional information.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which amends ASC 715-20, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General . The amended guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include (a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year and (b) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures include descriptions of significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures but is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances

At times, we receive payments from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of a contract liability ( Customer deposits ) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the Customer deposits balance during the six months ended August 23, 2019 are as follows:

Balance as of February 22, 2019 Customer Deposits — $ 20.0

  1. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities represent restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

  1. FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $ 485.0 and $ 487.0 as of August 23, 2019 and February 22, 2019 , respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $ 544 and $ 492 as of August 23, 2019 and February 22, 2019 , respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance Units

During the six months ended August 23, 2019 , we granted 98,867 performance units ("PSUs") which are earned over a three-year period based on performance conditions and then modified based on a market condition. The expense for these awards is determined based on the probability that the performance conditions will be met and the fair value of the market condition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the market condition. The total weighted-average grant date fair value for these PSUs was $ 16.21 per unit. The PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The weighted-average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:

2020 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1) 2.3 %
Expected term 3 years
Estimated volatility (2) 32.5 %

(1) Based on the U.S. government bond benchmark on the grant date.

(2) Represents the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock for the three-year period preceding the grant date.

The total PSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and six months ended August 23, 2019 and August 24, 2018 are as follows:

Performance Units Three Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018 Six Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018
Expense $ 0.3 $ 1.2 $ 1.7 $ 3.5
Tax benefit 0.1 0.4 0.5 1.0

As of August 23, 2019 , there was $ 0.8 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

The PSU activity for the six months ended August 23, 2019 is as follows:

Maximum Number of Shares That May Be Issued Under Nonvested Units Total Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Nonvested as of February 22, 2019 676,800 $ 18.50

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended August 23, 2019 , we awarded 722,209 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). These RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the units will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

The RSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and six months ended August 23, 2019 and August 24, 2018 are as follows:

Restricted Stock Units Three Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018 Six Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018

  1. LEASES

Accounting Policies

In Q1 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related amendments ("ASC 842") on a prospective basis. The effects of the initial application of ASC 842 did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing facilities, vehicles and equipment that expire at various dates through 2031. Certain lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours used) and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion. The lease terms utilized in determining right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include the noncancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods. Our leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate represents the estimated rate of interest we would have had to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar period of time.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

Three Months Ended — August 23, 2019 Six Months Ended — August 23, 2019
Operating lease cost $ 12.5 $ 24.6
Sublease rental income ( 0.3 ) ( 0.4 )
$ 12.2 $ 24.2

Supplemental cash flow and other information related to leases are as follows:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
August 23, 2019 August 23, 2019
Cash flow information:
Operating cash flows used for operating leases $ 11.5 $ 23.4
Leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease obligations $ 18.6 $ 58.2
August 23, 2019
Other information:
Weighted-average remaining term 7.3 years
Weighted-average discount rate 4.2 %

Thereafter 72.2 ( 0.6 ) 71.6
$ 264.9 $ ( 2.1 ) $ 262.8

Practical Expedients Elected

We elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting ASC 842:

• We elected not to separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of lease assets except for embedded leases, which were immaterial in Q1 2020.

• We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allowed us not to reassess (1) whether previously assessed contracts contain leases, (2) the classification of the leases as operating or finance and (3) the amount of initial direct costs associated with the leases.

• We elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less.

• We elected not to assess whether land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases are or contain a lease.

• We elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised.

10. ACQUISITIONS

Orangebox

In Q3 2019, we acquired Orangebox Group Limited ("Orangebox"), a manufacturer of task seating, architectural pods, privacy solutions and collaborative furniture based in the United Kingdom ("U.K."). The transaction included the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Orangebox for $ 78.9 (or £60.0) less an adjustment for working capital of $ 0.5 in an all-cash transaction. An additional $ 3.7 (or £3.0) is payable to one of the sellers over three years, contingent upon the achievement of certain business performance obligations. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under our global committed bank facility. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition relates to the expected ability to provide customers with a broader range of furniture designed to boost collaboration at work and supplement our innovative product development.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Orangebox were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $ 42.2 related to identifiable intangible assets, $ 23.4 related to goodwill and $ 16.7 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of working capital (primarily accounts receivable, inventory and current liabilities), property, plant and equipment (primarily the land, building and equipment of two manufacturing locations in the U.K.) and deferred tax liabilities. Goodwill was recorded in EMEA and the Americas segments in the amounts of $ 18.8 and $ 4.6 , respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for U.K. or U.S. income tax purposes. Intangible assets are principally related to dealer relationships, the Orangebox trade name and internally-developed know-how and designs, which will be amortized over periods ranging between 9 to 11 years.

The purchase price allocation for the Orangebox acquisition was incomplete as of August 23, 2019 . We are still evaluating certain deferred tax adjustments.

The following table summarizes the acquired identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:

Other Intangible Assets Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) Fair Value
Dealer relationships 10.9 $ 23.0
Trademark 9.0 13.2
Know-how/designs 9.0 5.0
Other 0.2 1.0
$ 42.2

The fair value of the acquired intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives. The estimated amortization expense for the next five years is as follows:

2020 $ 4.2
2021 4.1

Smith System

In Q2 2019, we acquired Smith System Manufacturing Company ("Smith System"), a Texas-based manufacturer of desking, seating and storage for the pre-K-12 education market. The transaction included the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Smith System for $ 140.0 , payable in cash, plus a net adjustment for working capital of $ 8.4 . In addition, we funded $ 5.0 to a third-party escrow account, which is payable to the seller at the end of two years based on continued employment. The acquisition was funded through a combination of domestic cash on-hand and short-term borrowings under our global credit facility.

Smith System is an industry leader in the U.S. pre-K-12 education market. The acquisition is expected to advance our growth strategy in the education and office markets particularly as it relates to learning environments and collaborative spaces. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of Smith System as we offer their products through our distribution network.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Smith System were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $ 44.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $ 79.3 related to goodwill and $ 25.0 related to tangible assets, mainly consisting of working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventory and current liabilities. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes and is recorded in the Americas segment. Intangible assets are principally related to internally-developed know-how and designs, dealer relationships and the Smith System trade name, which will be amortized over periods ranging between 9 to 11 years. The purchase accounting for the Smith System acquisition was completed during the current year.

The following table summarizes the acquired identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:

Other Intangible Assets Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) Fair Value
Know-how/designs 9.0 $ 16.0

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 22, 2019 . Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a specific date. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

This item contains a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measure used is organic revenue growth, which represents the change in revenue excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. This measure is presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

Overview

In Q2 2020, we reported $85.3 in operating income which represented a $17.4 increase or 26% compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by revenue growth of 14% and lower cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. Revenue growth of 13% in the Americas, 16% in EMEA, and 18% in the Other category was driven by overall industry growth (including volume and pricing), acquisitions and strong order backlog at the beginning of the quarter. In addition, we believe we gained market share in the Americas and in most of our major markets in EMEA over the fiscal year-to-date, which we attribute to our increased investments in product development and other growth strategies over the past two years. The improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was driven by pricing benefits, lower commodity costs (compared to significant inflation in the prior year) and benefits from higher volume, partially offset by unfavorable shifts in business mix (which included a shift in sales from higher-margin products to lower-margin products and growth in revenue from direct-sell customers, which often includes third party products and services which generate lower than average gross margins) and increased investments to support our growth strategies.

Q2 2020 Compared to Q2 2019

We recorded net income of $60.5 and diluted earnings per share of $0.50 in Q2 2020 compared to net income of $49.1 and diluted earnings per share of $0.41 in the prior year. Operating income of $85.3 in Q2 2020 increased by $17.4 , or 70 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by higher revenue, and lower cost of sales and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue contributed to the improvement in operating margin.

Revenue of $998.0 in Q2 2020 represented an increase of $122.2 or 14% compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by industry growth, acquisitions, high order backlog at the beginning of the quarter and market share gains. Revenue grew 13% in the Americas, 16% in EMEA and 18% in the Other category. After adjusting for a $47.3 impact of acquisitions, a $0.5 unfavorable impact of a divestiture and $7.7 of unfavorable currency translation effects, organic revenue growth was $83.1 or 9% compared to the prior year. Organic revenue growth was 9% in the Americas, 5% in EMEA and 20% in the Other category.

Table of Contents

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased by 40 basis points to 66.6% of revenue in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 2019 . Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased by 30 basis points in the Americas, 60 basis points in EMEA and 90 basis points in the Other category. The decrease was driven by pricing benefits, lower commodity costs, and higher absorption of fixed costs, partially offset by unfavorable shifts in business mix and increased investments to support our growth initiatives.

Operating expenses of $248.2 in Q2 2020 represented an increase of $27.5 but a decline of 30 basis points as a percentage of revenue compared to the prior year, which included a $7.5 gain on the sale of property. The remaining increase was driven by $9.2 from acquisitions and $4.2 of higher investments in product development, sales and marketing.

Corporate

Corporate costs 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 COLI.

Statement of Operations Data — Corporate Three Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018 Six Months Ended — August 23, 2019 August 24, 2018
Operating expenses $ 8.4 $ 8.1 $ 16.3 $ 14.4

The increase in operating expenses in year-to-date 2020 compared to the prior year was due primarily to lower COLI income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments 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. 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 and short-term investments to temporarily fall below our targeted range to fund acquisitions and other growth initiatives.

Liquidity Sources August 23, 2019 February 22, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents $ 229.1 $ 261.3
Company-owned life insurance 156.2 156.1
Availability under credit facilities 228.5 227.9
Total liquidity $ 613.8 $ 645.3

As of August 23, 2019 , we held a total of $229.1 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, approximately 81% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 19% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China, Malaysia, the U.K., Mexico and Hong Kong.

COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. A portion of 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.

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced related to compliance with applicable covenants. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.
