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, 2023 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2023 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

We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements. We have assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective Q1 2024, we adopted ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) , which is intended to enhance transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring disclosure of key terms, amounts outstanding (including a rollforward of outstanding amounts) and a description of where such amounts are presented in the consolidated financial statements.

We participate in a supplier finance program in Spain offered by a third-party financial institution. The program allows participating suppliers the ability to finance our payment obligations prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price set by the financial institution. We have extended payment terms with suppliers that have voluntarily chosen to participate in the program. As of November 24, 2023, the outstanding amount of program obligations, reported in Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 0.7 . The amount settled through the program during the nine months ended November 24, 2023 was $ 6.5 .

4. 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.

6. FAIR VALUE

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

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $ 446.1 and $ 481.2 as of November 24, 2023 and February 24, 2023, 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 $ 405.4 and $ 405.9 as of November 24, 2023 and February 24, 2023, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We may 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 volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

In connection with the acquisition of Viccarbe Habitat, S.L in Q3 2022, up to an additional $ 14.2 (or €13.0) is payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain revenue and operating income targets over a three-year period ending in 2025. This amount was considered to be contingent consideration and was treated for accounting purposes as part of the total purchase price of the acquisition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which represents a Level 3 measurement. At each subsequent reporting date, changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded to Operating expenses until the liability is settled. In Q3 2024, we recorded a $ 9.5 decrease to the fair value of the contingent consideration based upon updated projections for the Viccarbe business over the earnout period.

8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

We have a $ 250.0 global committed bank facility, which expires in 2025. At our option, and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $ 125.0 by obtaining at least one commitment from one or more lenders. In Q1 2024, the credit facility was amended. As amended, interest on borrowings under the facility is based on the rate selected by us from the following options (with all capitalized terms having the meanings provided in the credit agreement, as amended):

• the Applicable Floating Rate Margin in effect plus the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Term SOFR Reference Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.10% or (iv) 0.75%;

• the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus (i) for borrowings in U.S. dollars, the Term SOFR Reference Rate plus 0.10%, or (ii) for borrowings in euros, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate; or

• the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus 0.10%.

In Q1 2024, we borrowed and repaid $ 67.2 under the facility to fund our operations and the balloon payment of $ 31.8 for a note payable that matured during the quarter. In Q2 2024, we borrowed and repaid $ 1.8 under the facility. In Q3 2024, there were no additional borrowings or repayments under the facility, and as of November 24, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility .

9 . SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance Units

We have issued performance units (“PSUs”) to certain employees which are earned over a three-year performance period based on performance conditions established annually by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of the applicable fiscal year. The PSUs are then modified based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition. When the performance conditions for a fiscal year are established, or if the performance conditions involve a qualitative assessment and such assessment has been made, one-third of the PSUs issued are considered granted. Therefore, each of the three fiscal years within the performance period is considered an individual tranche of the award (referred to as "Tranche 1," "Tranche 2" and "Tranche 3," respectively).

As of November 24, 2023, the following PSUs have been issued and remained outstanding:

• 767,600 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2024 through 2026 (the "2024 PSUs"),

• 428,700 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2023 through 2025 (the "2023 PSUs") and

• 448,300 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 PSUs").

Once granted, the PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the remaining performance period. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the performance period, the PSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible. The awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.

As of November 24, 2023, the 2024 PSUs, 2023 PSUs and 2022 PSUs were considered granted as follows:

• In Q1 2024, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2024 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2023 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2024.

• In Q1 2023, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2023 PSUs and Tranche 2 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2023.

• In Q1 2022, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranche was considered granted in Q1 2022.

We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the market conditions on the respective grant dates, which resulted in a total fair value of $ 4.5 , $ 3.5 and $ 2.3 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that remained outstanding as of November 24, 2023. The Monte Carlo simulation was computed using the following assumptions:


	2024 PSUs		2023 PSUs				2022 PSUs
	Tranche 1		Tranche 2		Tranche 1		Tranche 3		Tranche 2		Tranche 1
Risk-free interest rate (1)	3.7	%	4.0	%	2.6	%	4.7	%	2.3	%	0.3	%
Expected term	3 years		2 years		3 years		1 year		2 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	44.1	%	37.8	%	52.2	%	45.5	%	43.8	%	53.5	%

_______________________________________

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

(2) Represents the historical price volatility of our Class A Common Stock for the period prior to the grant date which is equivalent to the expected term of the tranche.

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended November 24, 2023, we awarded 1,767,505 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse up to three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs are 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 shares on the grant date. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the service period for awards that are considered retirement-eligible, the RSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date that the participant becomes retirement-eligible. Typically, these awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.

The total RSU expense and associated tax benefit for the nine months ended November 24, 2023 and November 25, 2022 are as follows:

10. LEASES

We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles and equipment that expire at various dates through 2035. Certain lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours operated) 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 components of lease expense during the three and nine months ended November 24, 2023 and November 25, 2022 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

11. ACQUISITION

HALCON

In Q2 2023, we acquired Halcon Furniture LLC ("HALCON"), a Minnesota-based designer and manufacturer of precision-tailored wood furniture for the workplace. The transaction included the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of HALCON for $ 127.5 less customer deposits of $ 24.3 , plus an adjustment of $ 1.9 for working capital. The acquisition was funded using a combination of cash on-hand and borrowings under our global committed bank facility. An additional $ 2.0 is payable to a seller based upon continued employment over a three-year period, which is being expensed over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets and liabilities of HALCON 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 $ 51.8 related to identifiable intangible assets, $ 36.6 related to goodwill and $ 16.7 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of property, plant and equipment of $ 30.6 , working capital (primarily inventory of $ 12.8 ) and customer deposits of $ 24.3 . The goodwill was recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of HALCON expected to be driven by new product development, geographic expansion and the integration of HALCON products into our dealer network. Intangible assets are principally related to dealer relationships, the HALCON trade name and internally developed know-how and designs, which are being amortized over periods ranging from 9 to 10 years from the date of acquisition. We also acquired a backlog of orders which shipped throughout 2023. The purchase accounting for the HALCON acquisition was completed during the current year.

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


Other Intangible Assets	Useful Life (Years)	Fair Value

Dealer relationships	10.0	$	21.5
Trademark	9.0	14.0
Know-how and designs	9.0	12.0
Backlog	0.7	4.3
		$	51.8

The fair values of the purchased intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense for the next five years as of November 24, 2023:


Fiscal Year Ending in February	Amount
2024	$	1.3

12. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of the end of Q1 2024, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of changes in how we monitor business performance and allocate resources to support our top strategic priorities. During Q1 2024, we simplified our internal reporting to summarize the results of all brands by geography including utilization of previously unallocated Corporate expenses. This change is parallel to the organizational structure that is used by our Chief Executive Officer in the capacity as chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for making operating and investment decisions and assessing business performance.

The operating segments regularly reviewed by the CODM are (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and (3) Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific serves customers in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and other countries in Southeast Asia. We primarily review and evaluate revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) by these segments in our internal review processes and reporting. We also allocate resources among these segments primarily based on revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss). Total assets by segment include manufacturing and other assets associated with each segment.

For purposes of segment reporting externally, we have aggregated the EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments as an International segment based upon their similarity in certain quantitative and qualitative characteristics as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. We evaluated the economic similarity of these operating segments including patterns and trends for revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) in addition to the similarity in the nature of products and services, types of customers, and production and distribution processes in these regions. We concluded that these operating segments met the criteria for aggregation consistent with the basic principles and objectives of segment reporting described in ASC 280. The change in our reportable segments did not result in a change to our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

T he Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture, architectural, textile and surface imaging products that are marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, AMQ, Coalesse, Designtex, HALCON, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.

The International segment serves customers in EMEA and Asia Pacific with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and architectural products that are marketed to corporate, government, education and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.

As required by ASC 280 , all presented segment data reflects the reclassification of previously reported segment data. Revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) for the three and nine months ended November 24, 2023 and November 25, 2022 and total assets and goodwill as of November 24, 2023 and February 24, 2023 by segment are presented in the following tables which reflect the realigned segments:

13. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q4 2023, we implemented a series of restructuring actions, primarily related to the wind down of our customer aviation function in connection with our strategy to reinvent our go-to-market model and create new customer experiences. The restructuring actions included terminations of approximately 25 salaried employees in the Americas segment. We expect to incur approximately $ 4.5 of restructuring costs in the Americas segment related to these actions, consisting of cash severance payments and other separation-related benefits. We incurred $ 0.1 , $ 0.1 , and $ 0.7 of restructuring costs in the Americas segment for these actions in Q3 2024, Q2 2024, and Q1 2024, respectively. We also incurred $ 3.6 of workforce reductions and other separation-related benefits in the Americas segment for these actions in Q4 2023. We expect these actions to be completed by the end of 2024.

In Q1 2024, we announced a series of restructuring actions in response to continued decline in order volume, persisting inflationary pressures, and decreasing plant utilization. These actions involve the involuntary terminations of approximately 40 to 50 salaried roles in EMEA, the elimination of approximately 240 positions in Asia Pacific, and the involuntary terminations of approximately 30 employees in the Americas in connection with the closing of our regional distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia. We expect to incur restructuring costs of approximately $ 16 to $ 18 in the International segment and approximately $ 1 in the Americas segment related to these actions, consisting of cash severance payments and other separation-related benefits. We incurred restructuring costs of $ 1.5 , $ 7.8 , and $ 6.8 in the International segment for these actions in Q3 2024, Q2 2024, and Q1 2024, respectively. We also incurred $ 0.6 in the Americas segment for these actions during Q1 2024. We expect these actions to be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

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 ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2023. 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.

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the tables below. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a description of these measures and why management believes they are also useful to investors.

Financial Summary

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment and the International segment. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Overview

In Q1 2024, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. Effective as of the end of Q1 2024, Designtex and previously unallocated Corporate expenses are included in the Americas segment, and the Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific operating segments are aggregated and reported as the International segment. All prior year results are reclassified so as to be directly comparable to these realigned segments.

In Q3 2024, our earnings improved year over year, despite a decline in revenue, primarily driven by continued pricing benefits from the actions we implemented over the last two years in response to significant inflationary pressures. As those inflationary pressures have moderated, our pricing benefits and operational improvements resulted in a significantly higher gross margin compared to Q3 2023. We began Q3 2024 with a backlog which was 26 percent lower than the prior year, but the effects of the lower backlog were partially offset by order growth globally and faster order fulfillment patterns in the Americas. Orders (adjusted for the impact of divestitures and currency translation effects) grew 15 percent in Q3 2024 compared to the prior year.

Q3 2024 Compared to Q3 2023

We recorded net income of $30.8 and earnings per share of $0.26 in Q3 2024 compared to net income of $11.4 and earnings per share of $0.10 in the prior year. Operating income of $43.8 in Q3 2024 represented an improvement of $23.3 compared to operating income of $20.5 in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher pricing benefits, a $9.5 benefit from a decrease in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability, $5.4 of gains related to the sale of land and other fixed assets and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume. We reported adjusted operating income of $50.1 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.30 in Q3 2024 compared to adjusted operating income of $37.7 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 in the prior year.

Revenue of $777.9 in Q3 2024 represented a decrease of $49.0 or 6% compared to the prior year. Approximately $50 of higher pricing benefits and $10.6 of favorable currency translation effects were more than offset by approximately $110 related to lower volume. Revenue decreased by 5% in the Americas, and International revenue decreased by 7%. On an organic basis, revenue declined 6% compared to the prior year, with a 4% decline in the Americas and an 11% decline in International.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by approximately 350 basis points in Q3 2024 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $50 of higher pricing benefits and approximately $8 from operational improvements (which included labor efficiencies and lower freight costs, primarily in the Americas), partially offset by the impacts of lower volume. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 360 basis points in the Americas and by 350 basis points in International.

Operating expenses decreased by $1.6 in Q3 2024 but increased by 130 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in Q3 2024 included:

• $7.4 of higher variable compensation expense,

• $2.7 of unfavorable currency translation effects,

• $9.5 of benefit from a decrease in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability and

• $5.4 of gains related to the sale of land and other fixed assets.

We recorded restructuring costs of $2.1 in Q3 2024, primarily related to the previously announced restructuring actions in International. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our Q3 2024 effective tax rate was approximately 24.1% compared to a Q3 2023 effective tax rate of 31.3%.

Year-to-date 2024 Compared to Year-to-date 2023

We recorded net income of $59.8 and earnings per share of $0.50 in year-to-date 2024 compared to net income of $19.6 and earnings per share of $0.17 in the prior year. Operating income of $92.1 in year-to-date 2024 represented an improvement of $55.3 compared to operating income of $36.8 in the prior year. The improvement was driven by higher pricing benefits, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume and higher operating expenses. We reported adjusted operating income of $123.1 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.70 in year-to-date 2024 compared to adjusted operating income of $68.9 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.37 in the prior year.

Table of Contents

Revenue of $2,384.4 in year-to-date 2024 represented a decline of $46.5 compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a decline in International. Approximately $265 of lower volume (net of the impact of an acquisition and divestitures) was partially offset by $210 related to higher pricing benefits and $11.0 of favorable currency translation effects. Revenue was flat in the Americas, while revenue in International decreased by 7%. On an organic basis, revenue declined 2% compared to the prior year, with the Americas flat and a 9% decline in International.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 430 basis points in year-to-date 2024 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $210 of higher pricing benefits and approximately $18 from operational improvements, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume and $13.9 of higher variable compensation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 470 basis points in the Americas and by 320 basis points in International.

Operating expenses increased by $32.6 in year-to-date 2024, or 180 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in year-to-date 2024 included:

Operating expenses also included $5.4 of gains related to the sale of land and other fixed assets and $5.1 of gains primarily related to the sale of an aircraft and other aviation assets in year-to-date 2024 compared to a $4.0 gain from the sale of land in year-to-date 2023.

We recorded restructuring costs of $18.1 in year-to-date 2024 and $15.3 in year-to-date 2023. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our year-to-date 2024 effective tax rate was approximately 25.7% compared to a year-to-date 2023 effective tax rate of 27.9%.

• $1.9 of higher marketing, product development and sales expenses,

• approximately $3 of higher spending in other functional areas and

• $4.8 of benefit from a decrease in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share.

Organic Revenue Growth (Decline)

We define organic revenue growth (decline) as revenue growth (decline) excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency translation effects. Organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated by adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies and to use current year average exchange rates in the calculation of foreign-denominated revenue. We believe organic revenue growth (decline) is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of our revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs. We define adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs, net of related income tax effects.

• Amortization of purchased intangible assets: We may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when we acquire companies. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. We believe that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers. As our business strategy in recent years has included an increased number of acquisitions, intangible asset amortization has become more significant.

• Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs may be recorded as our business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. We believe that adjusting for restructuring costs, which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents are used to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. During normal business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 in cash and cash equivalents to fund operating requirements. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility, and from time to time, we may allow our cash and cash equivalents to temporarily fall below our targeted range to fund acquisitions, other growth initiatives and material committed cash requirements.


Liquidity Sources	November 24, 2023		February 24, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	262.0	$	90.4
Company-owned life insurance	162.6		157.3
Availability under credit facilities	271.7		269.7
Total liquidity sources available	$	696.3	$	517.4

As of November 24, 2023, we held a total of $262.0 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, 75% was located in the U.S., and 25% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China (including Hong Kong), the United Kingdom, Mexico, India, Malaysia and Canada.

COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a 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.

The following table summarizes our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended November 24, 2023 and November 25, 2022:

In year-to-date 2024, our improved operating results drove a significant increase in cash. We generated cash from working capital primarily due to decreased levels of inventory and normalized supplier lead times related to supply chain improvements and improvements in the number of days sales outstanding in accounts receivable. In year-to-date 2023, cash was used to meet working capital requirements primarily due to increased levels of inventory which were purchased to mitigate the impacts of supply chain disruptions, and we received $33.5 related to the carryback of our fiscal year 2021 tax loss in the U.S. Annual payments related to accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions totaled $77.3 in year-to-date 2024 compared to $32.4 in the prior year.

Total consolidated debt as of November 24, 2023 was $446.1 which is made up of term notes due in 2029 with an effective interest rate of 5.6%. The term notes are unsecured, contain no financial covenants and are not cross-defaulted to our other debt facilities.

Liquidity Outlook

Our material cash requirements are subject to fluctuation based on business requirements, economic volatility or investments in strategic initiatives. Our liquidity position, funds available from COLI and under our credit facilities and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs, including our material cash requirements. As of November 24, 2023, our total liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the cash surrender value of COLI, aggregated to $424.6.

As of Q3 2024, there were no significant changes in the items that we identified as our material committed cash requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2023.

We also have other planned material usages of cash which we consider discretionary. This includes plans for capital expenditures which are expected to total approximately $55 to $65 in 2024 compared to $59.1 in 2023. In addition, we fund dividend payments declared by our Board of Directors. On December 19, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.10 per share, or approximately $11, to be paid in Q4 2024.

These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to us, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us.
