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 24, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2012 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.


2.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other . This amendment is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013. This amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This amendment was issued to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. The amendment requires companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two separate but consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013, electing to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income as two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This amendment provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. The amendment clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosures, and changes certain principles or requirements for fair value measurements and disclosures. We adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2013 and provided the applicable disclosures in Note 4. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


3.	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 include performance units and restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of options and certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents

during the performance period. However, for the three months ended May 25, 2012 and May 27, 2011 , diluted earnings per share does not reflect the effect of options and certain performance units totaling 0.7 million and 2.3 million , respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

4.	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 short-term investments, foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $291.0 and $291.5 as of May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012 , 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 $303 and $305 as of May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012 , respectively.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in interest rates and foreign exchange 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.

6.	STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Performance Units

In Q1 2013, we awarded 540,470 performance units to our executive officers. These performance units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2013 through 2015, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, therefore the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the awards is 1,080,940. For these awards, dividend equivalents are calculated based on the actual number of shares earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. These awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the plan and determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion. If a change in control occurs at least six months following the award date, the target awards will be deemed to be earned and a pro rata number of units will be vested and paid based upon the length of time within the performance period which has elapsed prior to the effective date of the change in control.

8.	DIVESTITURES AND ACQUISITIONS

Divestiture of PolyVision Division

In Q2 2012, we completed the sale of PolyVision’s remaining low margin whiteboard fabrication business in Europe to a third party for proceeds totaling $2.3. The transaction included the sale of PolyVision SAS (France) and PolyVision A/S (Denmark) and resulted in a loss of $0.9 recorded in Restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

For the year ended February 24, 2012 and the interim periods therein, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income included the following related to PolyVision SAS and PolyVision A/S:

Dealer Acquisition

In Q1 2012, Red Thread Spaces LLC ("Red Thread"), formally known as Office Environments of New England, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steelcase Inc., acquired substantially all the assets of bkm Total Office (“BKM”) for cash consideration of approximately $18.7. Red Thread and BKM, both authorized Steelcase dealers, have combined to create a regional enterprise supporting workplace needs that will offer a broadened portfolio of products and services and expanded geographical coverage in New England. We completed the final purchase

price allocation in Q3 2012 which resulted in goodwill and intangible assets valuations of $2.0 and $0.3, respectively. The combined dealers are included in the Americas segment. The purchase of BKM did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


9.	RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q4 2011, we announced the planned closure of three manufacturing facilities in North America as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the fitness of our business and strengthen the Company’s long-term competitiveness. We are in the process of moving production within these facilities to other Steelcase locations in North America and expect the manufacturing consolidation will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $40, with approximately $30 related to workforce reductions and approximately $10 related to costs associated with manufacturing consolidation and production moves. During the three months ended May 25, 2012, we incurred $1.3 of employee termination costs and $3.2 of business exit and other related costs. During 2012 and 2011, we incurred restructuring costs related to these plant closures of $17.9 and $10.1, respectively. These costs primarily related to workforce reductions and were recorded within the Americas segment.

Restructuring costs are summarized in the following table:

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 24, 2012 . 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 Measures

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. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue over the prior year excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs. These measures are 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 Q1 2013 , we experienced 6% organic revenue growth compared to the prior year, which represents the ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year organic revenue growth. This growth is generally consistent with or better than global trends in our industry. Companies have been increasing corporate spending thus far in the economic recovery, leveraging the strength of their cash positions. In recent months, white collar employment and new construction (traditional industry drivers) have started to modestly improve in the Americas, but the broader economic recovery remains challenged by a variety of headwinds particularly in Europe.

Additionally, we believe many of our customers have deferred spending during a decade in which various forces have dramatically impacted their work environments, and many are at the point where they are now investing to modernize their spaces. We have been conducting research and launching new products, applications and experiences over the past several years to address these forces, some of which include globalization trends, miniaturization of technology, mobility of workers, increased collaboration and multi-generations at work. We believe staying invested in these growth initiatives during the worst of the recession helped drive our strong revenue growth as our customers increased spending. During the second half of 2012 and into Q1 2013, we increased investments in product development and other initiatives. We believe these investments will strengthen our market leadership and help to sustain the momentum we have in our business.

We recorded Q1 2013 net income of $13.2 compared to Q1 2012 net income of $7.5 . The increase in net income was driven by lower restructuring costs and lower interest expense.

Revenue for Q1 2013 was $675.2 compared to $639.4 in Q1 2012 . Organic revenue growth was 6% after adjusting for currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. We realized organic revenue growth of 14% in the Americas, while EMEA declined 11% and the Other category was flat.

Operating income of $19.3 in Q1 2013 compared to operating income of $15.0 in the prior year. Q1 2013 adjusted operating income of $24.4 was relatively flat compared to Q1 2012 adjusted operating income of $24.9 . Strength in the Americas was offset by weakness in EMEA and the Other category.

Cost of sales increased slightly to 70.2% of revenue in Q1 2013 , a 40 basis point increase compared to Q1 2012 . Higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth in the Americas (including benefits of improved pricing) was more than offset by lower absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue decline in EMEA.

Operating expenses in Q1 2013 of $176.7 increased by $8.5 compared to Q1 2012 operating expenses of $168.2 . The comparison included $2.8 of favorable currency translation effects and $1.7 of operating expenses related to a dealer acquired in Q1 2012. The remaining increase of $9.6 over the prior year primarily related to increased spending on sales, product development and other initiatives in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

Table of Contents

We recorded restructuring costs of $5.1 in Q1 2013 , $4.5 of which was associated with the North America plant closures announced in Q4 2011. In Q1 2012 , we recorded restructuring costs of $9.9 , $7.2 of which was associated with the North America plant closures announced in Q4 2011. The remaining restructuring costs of $2.7 incurred in Q1 2012 related to the completion of actions launched in EMEA in prior periods.

Income tax expense recorded for Q1 2013 reflected an effective tax rate of 33.0%, slightly lower than our estimated annual effective tax rate of 35%, due to $0.3 of discrete tax items.

Q1 2012 interest expense included $4.1 associated with $250 of senior notes which matured and were repaid in Q2 2012. The change in investment income from Q1 2012 to Q1 2013 was primarily driven by lower gains in the cash surrender value of variable life company-owned life insurance ("COLI") policies. Other income, net increased due primarily to a $2.1 gain recognized on the sale of a small equity investment in Q1 2013.

Operating income in the Americas of $37.7 in Q1 2013 compared to Q1 2012 operating income of $21.1 .

Table of Contents

Adjusted operating income increased by $14.0 in Q1 2013 compared to Q1 2012 , due to operating leverage from organic revenue growth (including benefits of improved pricing), offset in part by higher spending on sales, product development and other initiatives, higher commodity costs and a higher mix of business from some of our largest corporate customers.

The Americas revenue represented 70.3% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2013 . Revenue for Q1 2013 was $474.6 compared to $408.5 in Q1 2012 , an increase of $66.1 or 16.2% . After adjusting for revenue from a dealer acquired in Q1 2012 and currency translation impacts, organic revenue growth was $56.2 or 14% . Based on the most recent information available from the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association, we believe we are continuing to gain market share in the U.S. The organic revenue growth in the Americas benefited from a strong beginning backlog and current quarter orders which grew 9% compared to the prior year. Revenue growth in Q1 2013 is categorized as follows:


•	Product categories — All product categories grew, with notable strength in Wood, Details and Technology.


•	Vertical markets — Outside of Federal Government and Financial Services, all vertical markets grew, with notable strength in the Energy, Insurance and Technology sectors.


•	Geographic regions — Growth was fairly broad-based across our sales regions, with only a few markets reporting declines.


•	Contract type — Revenue grew across all quote types, but project business was the strongest.

Cost of sales decreased to 69.6% of revenue in Q1 2013 compared to 70.4% of revenue in Q1 2012 . Higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth (including benefits of improved pricing) were partially offset by approximately $4 of higher commodity costs and a business mix weighted more heavily towards some of our largest corporate customers (which was somewhat offset by a lower mix of federal government business in the U.S.).

Operating expenses increased by $9.4 in Q1 2013 compared to the same period last year. The increase included $1.7 of expenses related to a dealer acquired in Q1 2012. The remaining increase related to higher spending on sales, product development and other initiatives.

Restructuring costs of $4.7 incurred in Q1 2013 primarily related to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities announced in Q4 2011.

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, seating and storage solutions.

The operating loss in EMEA of $8.0 in Q1 2013 compared to the Q1 2012 operating loss of $0.1 . The adjusted operating loss recorded in Q1 2013 was $7.6 compared to adjusted operating income of $2.6 in the same period of the prior year. The decline was driven by lower volume, a higher mix of project business and higher employee costs.

EMEA revenue represented 18.9% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2013 . Revenue for Q1 2013 was $127.5 compared to $153.9 in Q1 2012 . After adjusting for unfavorable currency translation effects of $10.2 , the organic revenue decline was $16.2 or 11% . The most significant revenue declines were in Spain and Germany, primarily driven by lower day-to-day business.

Cost of sales climbed to 74.3% of revenue in Q1 2013 from 70.7% of revenue in Q1 2012 , a 360 basis point erosion. The erosion was primarily driven by lower sales volumes combined with a higher mix of lower margin project business.

Q1 2013 operating expenses decreased by $2.1 compared to the prior year primarily due to favorable currency translation effects.

Restructuring costs of $0.4 incurred in Q1 2013 related to the final expenses related to the project to reorganize our European manufacturing operations.

The Other category reported an operating loss of $3.4 in Q1 2013 compared to operating income of $2.6 in Q1 2012 . The Q1 2013 adjusted operating loss of $3.4 represents a decrease of $5.9 from adjusted operating income of $2.5 in Q1 2012 . The decrease was driven by lower operating results from PolyVision and Asia Pacific.

Q1 2013 revenue decreased by $3.9 or (5.1)% . Excluding the decrease in revenue due to the divestiture of a small division at PolyVision, Q1 2013 organic revenue was flat compared to Q1 2012 . Sales growth in Asia Pacific was largely offset by a decline in PolyVision. PolyVision's revenue continues to be impacted by reduced K-12 education spending in the United States.

Cost of sales as a percent of revenue increased by 230 basis points in Q1 2013 compared to Q1 2012 .

Table of Contents

The increase was primarily driven by lower absorption of fixed costs in PolyVision and an increase in lower-margin project business in Asia Pacific.

Q1 2013 operating expenses increased by $2.8 compared to Q1 2012 . The increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales, product development and other expenses in Asia Pacific.

Corporate

Approximately 84% of corporate expenses are charged to the operating segments as part of a corporate allocation. Unallocated portions of these expenses are considered general corporate costs and are reported as Corporate. Corporate costs include unallocated portions of executive costs and shared service functions such as information technology, human resources, finance, legal, research and development and corporate facilities.

Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $100 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund the day-to-day operations of the business, provide available liquidity for investments in growth initiatives and serve as a cushion against economic volatility. Our actual cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as we plan for and manage certain seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year, when applicable.



Primary Liquidity Sources	May 25, 2012		February 24, 2012
Cash and cash equivalents	$	80.5	$	112.1
Short-term investments	52.1		79.1
Variable life company-owned life insurance	113.7		113.1
Availability under credit facilities	172.5		174.2
Total liquidity	$	418.8	$	478.5

As of May 25, 2012 , we held a total of $132.6 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, approximately 39% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 61% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in Asia, Canada and France. The amounts located outside the U.S. would be taxable if repatriated to the U.S., but we do not anticipate repatriating such amounts or needing them for operations in the U.S. Such amounts are considered permanently reinvested in foreign subsidiaries or available to repay intercompany debt, and in Canada and Mexico, such amounts are expected to be utilized to meet local working capital requirements.

The majority of our short-term investments are located in the U.S. in a managed investment portfolio, which primarily consists of corporate debt securities and U.S. agency debt securities.

Our investments in COLI policies are recorded at their net cash surrender value. We consider our investments in variable life COLI policies to be primarily a source of corporate liquidity, and our investments in whole life COLI policies represent an additional potential source of liquidity, as their designation to fund employee benefit plan obligations can be changed at any time. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance

companies associated with our variable and whole life COLI policies are sufficient to meet their obligations.

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced by the use of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for purposes other than the repayment of debt as a result of constraints related to our maximum leverage ratio covenant. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

The following table summarizes our statements of cash flows for the three months ended May 25, 2012 and May 27, 2011 :

The change in cash used in operating activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to an increase in cash generated from net income, more than offset by a higher use of cash from changes in working capital to support business growth in 2013. Net cash used in operating activities during Q1 2013 and Q1 2012 also includes payments made for variable compensation (including expenses associated with our EVA-based bonus programs and the Steelcase Inc. Retirement Plan) and other retirement funding payments.

As of the end of Q1 2013, we had $143.9 of remaining availability under the $250 share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in Q4 2008. On April 27, 2012, we entered into a stock repurchase agreement with an independent third party broker under which the broker is authorized to repurchase up to $25 of the Company’s common stock on behalf of the Company during the period from April 27, 2012 through September 17, 2012, subject to certain price, market and volume constraints specified in the agreement. As of the end of Q1 2013, there was $16 of remaining availability under this agreement.

Liquidity Facilities



Liquidity Facilities	May 25, 2012
Global committed bank facility	$	125.0
Various uncommitted lines	47.5
Total credit lines available	172.5
Less: Borrowings outstanding	—
Available capacity	$	172.5

On March 19, 2012 we entered into a $125 million committed five-year unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility. The facility amends and restates our previous unsecured syndicated credit facility that was scheduled to expire in Q4 2013. At our option and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $75 million by obtaining at least one commitment from one of the lenders. As of May 25, 2012 there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

The facility requires us to satisfy financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Additionally, the facility requires us to comply with certain other covenants, including a restriction on the aggregate amount of cash dividend payments and share repurchases in any fiscal year. As of May 25, 2012 , we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

The various uncommitted lines may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted facilities as of May 25, 2012 . In addition, we have a revolving letter of credit agreement for $12.9 of which $12.3 was utilized, primarily related to our reserve for self-insured workers’ compensation claim costs as of May 25, 2012 . There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q1 2013.

Total consolidated debt as of May 25, 2012 was $291.0 . Our debt primarily consists of $249.9 in term notes due in 2021 with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. In addition, we have a $40.1 term loan due in 2017 at a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 3.35%. The term notes are unsecured, the term loan is secured

by two corporate aircraft, and both the term notes and the term loan contain no financial covenants and are not cross-defaulted to other debt facilities.

Liquidity Outlook

Our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, funds available under our credit facilities, funds available from COLI and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs. We believe the timing, strength and continuity of the economic recovery across the geographies we serve remain uncertain which may continue to challenge our level of cash generation from operations. We continue to maintain a conservative approach to liquidity and maintain flexibility over significant uses of cash including our capital expenditures and discretionary operating expenses.

Our significant funding requirements include operating expenses, non-cancelable operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, variable compensation and retirement plan contributions, dividend payments and debt service obligations.

We expect capital expenditures to approximate between $75 and $85 in 2013 compared to $65 in 2012. This amount includes the completion of our campus consolidation in North America, global product development projects and investments in manufacturing equipment in both EMEA and the Americas. We closely manage capital spending to ensure we are making investments that we believe will sustain our business and preserve our ability to introduce innovative new products.

On June 20, 2012, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.09 per share, or $11.6 to be paid in Q2 2013. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

During Q1 2013 , there have been no changes in the items that we have identified as critical accounting estimates.
