Sales by product category are subject to similar economic factors and market conditions. See “Note 16. Reportable Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about operating segments.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation has contract assets consisting of funds paid to certain workplace furnishings dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s products. These contract assets are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. For contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of customer deposits and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

Contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
October 2,
2021
January 2,
2021
Trade receivables (1) $ 238,620 $ 207,971
Contract assets (current) (2) $ 1,265 $ 761
Contract assets (long-term) (3) $ 16,876 $ 2,486
Contract liabilities (4) $ 58,976 $ 53,070

The index below indicates the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported:

(1)     "Receivables"
(2)     "Prepaid expenses and other current assets"
(3)     "Other Assets"
(4)     "Accounts payable and accrued expenses"

The increase in long-term contract assets is related to distribution agreements in the workplace furnishings segment. Contract liabilities for customer deposits paid to the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligations. The contract liability balance related to customer deposits was $ 21.1 million as of January 2, 2021, all of which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2021.

Performance Obligations
The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of workplace furnishings and residential building products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 days of invoicing.

The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancellable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in the revenue accounting standard not to disclose the unsatisfied performance obligation as of period end. The backlog is typically fulfilled within a few months.

Significant Judgments
The amount of consideration the Corporation receives and revenue recognized varies with changes in rebate and marketing program incentives, as well as early pay discounts, offered to customers. The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by variable consideration for rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of funds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at the end of each year when sales volumes and the impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded as the programs typically end near the Corporation's fiscal year end.

Note 3. Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation acquired the assets of a residential building products installing distributor in an all-cash deal. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $ 1.6 million, and includes $ 1.2 million of tax deductible goodwill. The purchase accounting is complete, and the remaining assets and liabilities acquired were not material.

On December 31, 2020, the Corporation acquired Design Public Group ("DPG"), a leading e-Commerce distributor of high-design furniture and accessories for the office and home. This transaction, which was structured as an asset acquisition and consummated entirely in cash of approximately $ 50 million, aligns with the Corporation's long-term strategies related to digital and e-Commerce initiatives. DPG's assets and liabilities are included in the Corporation's workplace furnishings segment, and goodwill, which is tax-deductible, is assigned to its own reporting unit.

The DPG purchase price allocation and weighted average amortization periods of identified intangible assets as of the date of acquisition is as follows (dollars in thousands):
Fair Value Weighted Average Amortization Period
Inventories $ 1,597
Receivables 4
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 467
Accounts payable and accrued expenses ( 8,035 )
Goodwill 33,588
Customer lists 11,500 11 years
Software 5,500 5 years
Trade names 5,200 10 years
Other intangible assets 300 3 years
Total net assets $ 50,121

The valuation analysis required the use of complex management estimates and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, long-term growth rates, and technology build costs. As a result of further reviews, measurement period adjustments were recorded in the third quarter of 2021 that increased working capital and decreased goodwill by $ 0.5 million. As of October 2, 2021, the DPG purchase accounting is complete.

All transactions disclosed above were deemed to be acquisitions of businesses, and were accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC 805, with goodwill being recorded as a result of future cash flows and related fair value exceeding the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities.

The immaterial change in the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances shown above is related to foreign currency translation impacts.

Impairment Analysis
The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Corporation also evaluates long-lived assets (which include definite-lived intangible assets) for impairment if indicators exist.

Note 6. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its workplace furnishings and residential building products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.

A warranty allowance is determined by recording a specific allowance for known warranty issues and an additional allowance for unknown claims expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience.  Actual costs incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is as follows (in thousands):
October 2,
2021
January 2,
2021
Revolving credit facility with interest at a variable rate
(October 2, 2021 - 1.1 %; January 2, 2021 - 1.2 %)

Fixed rate notes due in 2025 with an interest rate of 4.22 %

Fixed rate notes due in 2028 with an interest rate of 4.40 %
50,000 50,000

Deferred debt issuance costs ( 413 ) ( 476 )
Total debt 177,932 175,365
Less: Current maturities of long-term debt 3,345 841
Long-term debt $ 174,587 $ 174,524

The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate, long-term debt obligations at October 2, 2021, was $ 75 million, which approximated fair value. The fair value of the fixed rate notes was estimated based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 2) to be $ 116 million at October 2, 2021.

As of October 2, 2021, the Corporation’s revolving credit facility borrowings were under the credit agreement entered into on April 20, 2018, with a scheduled maturity of April 20, 2023. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of debt issuance costs of $ 0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of debt issuance costs of $ 0.2 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of October 2, 2021, there was $ 75 million outstanding under the $ 450 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility is considered long-term as the Corporation assumes no obligation to repay any of the amounts borrowed in the next twelve months. Based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the Corporation can access the full remaining $ 375 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.

In addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of daily operating capital for the Corporation and provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock, and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has $ 100 million of borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreements, the Corporation issued $ 50 million of seven-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22 percent, due May 31, 2025, and $ 50 million of ten-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40 percent, due May 31, 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt, and is amortizing them over the terms of the private placement note agreements. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreements. As of October 2, 2021, the debt issuance costs balance of $ 0.4 million related to the private placement note agreements is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The credit agreement and private placement notes both contain financial and non-financial covenants. The covenants under both are substantially the same. Non-compliance with covenants under the agreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

Covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including:

a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and

14


a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0.  Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash items that increase or decrease net income.  As of October 2, 2021, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement.  The Corporation expects to remain in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement over the next twelve months.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Corporation's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The following table summarizes the Corporation's income tax provision (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
October 2,
2021
September 26,
2020
October 2,
2021
September 26,
2020
Income before income taxes $ 24,390 $ 37,245 $ 68,065 $ 24,605
Income taxes $ 5,232 $ 6,558 $ 16,476 $ 5,259
Effective tax rate 21.5 % 17.6 % 24.2 % 21.4 %

The Corporation's effective tax rate was higher in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to the same periods last year. The variance was driven by an improved full year 2021 income outlook, relative to the prior-year full year outlook which was adversely impacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in asset impairment charges and other one-time costs recorded in the U.S. jurisdictions. These factors drove a greater rate benefit from tax credits in the prior-year periods. Additionally, the increased rate was impacted by higher equity-based compensation and the timing of tax reserves released year-over-year.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, put option liabilities and deferred stock-based compensation.  The marketable securities comprise money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1.  Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. Significant unobservable inputs, which are classified within Level 3, are used in the estimation of the fair value of put option liabilities, determined using a simulation model based on assumptions including future cash flows, discount rates, and volatility.

Interest Rate Swap
In 2019, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $ 75 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.42 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $ 75 million notional value expiring April 2023.  As of October 2, 2021, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap liability was $ 1.5 million; see "Note 9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments". The unrecognized change in value of the interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $( 1.2 ) million in "HNI Corporation Shareholders' Equity" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Forms of awards issued under shareholder approved plans include stock options, restricted stock units based on a service condition ("restricted stock units"), restricted stock units based on both performance and service conditions ("performance stock units"), and shares issued under member stock purchase plans. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units is recognized over the employees' requisite service periods, adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares not expected to vest. Additionally, expense related to performance stock units is adjusted for the probability that the Corporation will perform within an established target range of cumulative profitability over a multi-year period.

Note 13. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This update simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Corporation adopted ASC 740 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with no material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures.

Note 14. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of approximately $ 31 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations.  Additionally, the Corporation periodically utilizes trade letters of credit and banker's acceptances to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers; as of October 2, 2021, there were no outstanding amounts related to these types of guarantees. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker's acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims.  It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows, or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

In October 2021, the Corporation acquired a residential building products installing distributor at a purchase price of approximately $ 30 million. The acquired company builds on the Corporation's strategy to expand the Fireside Hearth & Home owned-distribution component of the residential building products segment.

Due to the recent timing of the close of the acquisition, the Corporation has not yet allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Note 16. Reportable Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as having two reportable segments based on industries: workplace furnishings and residential building products.

The aggregated workplace furnishings segment manufactures and markets a broad line of commercial and home office furniture which includes panel-based and freestanding furniture systems, seating, storage, tables, and architectural products.  The

19


residential building products segment manufactures and markets a full array of gas, wood, electric, and pellet fueled fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses.  These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations.  Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost.  In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, IT infrastructure, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.

No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Corporation's historical results of operations and of its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation and related notes. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this section for further information.

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: workplace furnishings and residential building products. The Corporation is a leading global designer and provider of commercial furnishings, and a leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a decentralized business model to deliver value to customers via various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $586.7 million, an increase of 15.7 percent compared to net sales of $507.1 million in the prior-year quarter.  The change was due to a 26.0 percent increase in the residential building products segment and an 11.3 percent increase in the workplace furnishings segment. The acquisition of DPG increased current-year quarter sales by $8.9 million, and the acquisition of residential building products distributors increased current-year quarter sales by $0.9 million.

Net income attributable to the Corporation in the third quarter of 2021 was $19.2 million compared to $30.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. The majority of the decrease was driven by unfavorable price-cost along with the return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year quarter and increased investment spend, which was partially offset by increased volume.

Overall, the Corporation has experienced strong order trends in both of its segments in the third quarter of 2021. However, ongoing pandemic-induced difficulties tied to labor availability, supply chain issues, and input cost inflation have persisted. These constraints, when combined with continued staffing shortages both internally and at the Corporation's suppliers, are limiting production capacity growth, and have negatively impacted revenue and profit levels in the quarter. The Corporation expects these constraints to continue through the remainder of 2021 and is taking action to mitigate them, including the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Mexico, increased insourcing and strengthened resourcing of critical parts, and accelerated efforts to drive productivity through process changes and automation to reduce labor requirements.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2021 increased 15.7 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The change was driven by increases of 26.0 percent and 11.3 percent in the residential building products and workplace furnishings segments, respectively. Included in the sales results for the current quarter was a $9.8 million favorable impact from acquiring DPG and residential building products installing distributors.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 330 basis points in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter last year, driven by unfavorable price-cost, which was partially offset by higher volume and improved net productivity.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of net sales decreased 10 basis points in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter last year due to improved leverage from higher volume, partially offset by the return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year quarter, higher investment spend, and increased freight costs.




23


Operating Income

In the third quarter of 2021, operating income was $26.2 million, compared to $38.8 million in the same quarter last year. The majority of the decrease was driven by unfavorable price-cost, along with the return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year quarter and increased investment spend, which was partially offset by increased volume.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.9 million, compared to $1.5 million in the same quarter last year.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's income tax provision for the third quarter of 2021 was an expense of $5.2 million on income before taxes of $24.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.5 percent. For the third quarter of 2020, the Corporation's income tax provision was an expense of $6.6 million on pre-tax income of $37.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 17.6 percent. The variance was driven by an improved full year 2021 income outlook, relative to the prior-year full outlook which was adversely impacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in asset impairment charges and other one-time costs recorded in the U.S. jurisdictions. These factors drove a greater rate of benefit from tax credits in the prior-year periods. Additionally, the increased rate was impacted by higher equity-based compensation and the timing of tax reserves released year-over-year.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $19.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $30.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2021 increased 13.5 percent compared to the same period last year. The change was driven by increases of 37.6 percent and 4.0 percent in the residential building products and workplace furnishings segments, respectively. Included in the sales results for the current period was a $28.8 million favorable impact from acquiring DPG and residential building products installing distributors.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 120 basis points in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year, driven by unfavorable price-cost, which was partially offset by higher residential building products volume and improved net productivity.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 130 basis points in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year due to higher residential building products volume and lower core SG&A, partially offset by the return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year period and higher investment spend. Included in current-year period SG&A was $1.4 million of one-time costs from exiting workplace furnishings showrooms. The prior-year period included $5.0 million of one-time costs incurred as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic (of which $1.6 million was recorded as a corporate charge).

Impairment Charges

In the first nine months of 2020, the Corporation recorded $32.7 million of impairment charges on goodwill and intangible assets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption. The Corporation did not record any impairment charges during the first nine months of 2021.

Operating Income

In the first nine months of 2021, operating income was $73.5 million, compared to $29.9 million in the same period last year. Results improved compared to the prior-year period driven by higher residential building products volume, improved net productivity, and lower core SG&A, partially offset by unfavorable price-cost, the return of costs related to temporary actions

24


taken in the prior-year period, and higher investment spend. Additionally, the prior-year period included $37.7 million of impairment charges and costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic disruption.

For the first nine months of 2020, the Corporation's income tax provision was an expense of $5.3 million on income before taxes of $24.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 21.4 percent. The variance was driven by higher income and an improved full year 2021 income outlook, relative to the prior-year period performance and full year outlook which was adversely impacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in asset impairment charges and other one-time costs recorded in the U.S. jurisdictions. Additionally, the increased rate was impacted by higher equity-based compensation and the timing of tax reserves released year-over-year.

Net Income Attributable to HNI Corporation

Net income attributable to the Corporation was $51.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2021, compared to $19.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2020.

Third quarter 2021 net sales for the residential building products segment increased 26.0 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Included in the sales results was a $0.9 million favorable impact from acquiring residential building products installing distributors.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 240 basis points in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by unfavorable price-cost, lower productivity, higher freight costs, and increased investment spend, partially offset by increased volume and lower variable compensation.

Nine months ended
Net sales for the first nine months of 2021 for the residential building products segment increased 37.6 percent compared to the same period last year. Included in the sales results was a $4.8 million favorable impact from acquiring residential building products installing distributors.

Operating profit as a percentage of net sales increased 260 basis points in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by strong volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable price-cost, the return of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year period, normalized variable compensation, and lower productivity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, coupled with cash flow from future operations, borrowing capacity under the existing credit agreement, and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months. Additionally, based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, the Corporation can access the full $450 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility, which includes the $75 million currently outstanding, and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.

Cash Flow – Operating Activities
Operating activities were a source of $88.5 million of cash in the first nine months of 2021 compared to a source of $143.4 million of cash in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in operating cash flows was driven by timing of working capital fluctuations and lower noncash items, partially offset by higher income.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities
Capital expenditures, including capitalized software, for the first nine months of 2021 were $47.8 million compared to $32.0 million in the same period last year. These expenditures are primarily focused on machinery, equipment, and tooling required to support new products, continuous improvements, and cost savings initiatives in manufacturing processes.  Additionally, in support of the Corporation's long-term strategy to create effortless winning experiences for customers, the Corporation continues to invest in technology and digital assets. For the full year 2021, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $60 to $65 million.

Current year and prior year investing activities include acquisition spending for residential building products installing distributors, while current year activity also includes spending related to the acquisition of DPG. See "Note 3. Acquisitions" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

During the third quarter, the Board declared the regular quarterly cash dividend on August 10, 2021. The dividend was paid on September 1, 2021, to shareholders of record as of August 20, 2021.

Stock Repurchase - The Corporation’s capital strategy related to stock repurchase is focused on offsetting the dilutive impact of issuances for various compensation related matters. The Corporation may elect to opportunistically purchase additional shares based on excess cash generation and/or share price considerations. The Board most recently authorized $200 million on February 13, 2019, for repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock. As of October 2, 2021, approximately $138.5 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent. See "Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Shareholders' Equity" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods.  A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.  There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments during the first nine months of 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies

See "Note 14. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  A summary of the more significant accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.

Looking Ahead

The Corporation continues to navigate near-term uncertainty driven by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent dynamics around labor availability, supply chain capacity, and cost inflation. However, management believes the Corporation is well positioned to grow revenues, expand margins, and generate cash flows as it moves into the next stage of the recovery. Strength in residential building products is expected to continue, with improving conditions being observed in workplace furnishings.

Management remains optimistic about the long-term prospects in the workplace furnishings and residential building products markets. Management believes the Corporation continues to compete well and remains confident the investments made in the business will continue to generate strong returns for shareholders.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, the Corporation's management carried out an evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e).  As of October 2, 2021, based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

In December 2020, the Corporation acquired DPG (see Note 3). In conducting its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management has elected to exclude the acquisition from the evaluation as of October 2, 2021, as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Corporation is currently instituting internal controls over DPG's financial information and anticipates these controls to be implemented by the end of fiscal year 2021.
