STEELCASE INC.
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 26, 2016 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 26, 2016 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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscals years, beginning December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which is part of the FASB's Simplification Initiative. The updated guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), which updates the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated guidance changes the accounting and disclosure of equity investments (except those that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for

those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 $299.2 and $299.1 as of May 27, 2016 and February 26, 2016, 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 $334 and $326 as of May 27, 2016 and February 26, 2016, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.
We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance Units
In Q1 2017, we awarded 189,800 performance units ("PSUs") to our executive officers. The PSUs awarded are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2017 through 2019, based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition, 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 these awards is 379,600. These PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance period. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of these PSUs on the date of grant. The model resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.33 per unit for these PSUs, compared to $24.15 and $23.25 per unit for similar PSUs granted in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:

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 26, 2016. 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 condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of 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 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 (benefits). 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.
Financial Summary

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate costs are reported as Corporate.

Overview
In Q1 2017, we posted modest revenue growth over the prior year, driven by Asia Pacific, EMEA and Designtex, while revenue in the Americas was flat compared to the prior year and included benefits from a recent acquisition.  The organic revenue decline in the Americas is consistent with or slightly better than recent trends in the U.S. industry.  EMEA experienced a significant reduction in disruption costs and inefficiencies compared to the prior year as the manufacturing footprint changes were substantially completed during the quarter.  Our gross margin continued to improve in the quarter and funded increased spending on sales and marketing and the new Learning + Innovation Center in Munich, Germany.
We recorded net income of $19.4 and diluted earnings per share of $0.16 in Q1 2017 compared to net income of $20.0 and diluted earnings per share of $0.16 in Q1 2016. Operating income of $33.3 in Q1 2017 represented a slight decrease compared to the prior year. Revenue growth and lower cost of sales as a percent of revenue in Q1 2017 were offset by higher operating expenses and higher restructuring costs compared to the prior year. After adjusting for the impact of restructuring costs, adjusted operating income of $37.9 in Q1 2017 represented an increase of $2.5 (or 30 basis points as a percent of revenue) compared to Q1 2016.
In Q1 2017, revenue increased $13.3 to $718.8 compared to Q1 2016. The increase in revenue was driven by strong growth in Asia Pacific and Designtex, modest growth in EMEA, and the impact of an acquisition in the Americas within the past twelve months. After adjusting for a $6.8 favorable impact of the acquisition in the Americas and $0.4 of unfavorable currency translation effects, organic revenue growth was $6.9 or 1%. Organic revenue growth of 12% in the Other category and 3% in EMEA was partially offset by a decline of 1% in the Americas.
Cost of sales decreased 130 basis points to 67.4% of revenue in Q1 2017 compared to Q1 2016. The improvement was driven by a 480 basis point improvement in EMEA and a 70 basis point improvement in the Americas. The improvement in EMEA was driven by lower disruption costs and inefficiencies associated with manufacturing footprint changes in EMEA and favorable business mix. Disruption costs and inefficiencies include labor premiums paid to employees during transition periods and labor inefficiencies caused by work stoppages or slowdowns resulting from restructuring activities. They also include incremental logistics costs caused by split shipments (linked to labor inefficiencies) and interim supply chains during production moves. Lastly, these costs include duplicate labor and overhead at the Czech Republic facility and other plants impacted by production moves. The improvement in the Americas was driven by lower material costs, favorable business mix, on-going cost reduction efforts and improvements in negotiated customer pricing, partially offset by higher warranty costs.
Operating expenses of $196.1 in Q1 2017 increased by $11.0 or 100 basis points as a percent of revenue compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing costs and the impact of an acquisition in the Americas and costs associated with the new Learning + Innovation center in Munich.

Table of Contents

We recorded restructuring costs of $4.6 in Q1 2017 compared to net restructuring costs of $1.9 in Q1 2016. The Q1 2017 amount included costs associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in High Point, the closure of a manufacturing facility in Durlangen and the establishment of the Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. The Q1 2016 amount included a $2.8 gain related to the sale of our Corporate Development Center that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Our effective tax rate in Q1 2017 was 38.8% compared to 36.5% in Q1 2016. The Q1 2017 rate was higher than the rate in the prior year due to $1.0 of net unfavorable discrete tax items recorded in Q1 2017.

Operating income in the Americas in Q1 2017 decreased by $7.5 compared to the prior year. The decline was driven by $6.0 of higher warranty costs, and restructuring costs in the current year compared to net restructuring benefits in the prior year. Adjusted operating income decreased by $2.9 compared to the prior year to 9.5% of revenue in Q1 2017 primarily due to higher warranty costs.

Table of Contents

The Americas revenue represented 72.4% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2017. Revenue for Q1 2017 was $520.4 compared to $519.7 in Q1 2016 and reflected $1.7 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a $6.8 favorable impact of an acquisition within the last twelve months. The revenue comparison also included lower volume offset in part by approximately $3 from improvements in negotiated customer pricing. Revenue growth in Q1 2017 is categorized as follows:
•
Product categories — Four out of seven categories grew in Q1 2017, led by Seating and Turnstone. Furniture, Health and Technology declined compared to the prior year.

•
Vertical markets — Technical & Professional and Healthcare experienced double-digit percentage growth rates, while Insurance, Energy and Federal Government declined significantly year-over-year.

•
Geographic regions — The West Business Group posted strong growth while the East and South Business Groups declined.

•
Contract type — Continuing business grew, while project business and marketing programs declined year-over-year.
Organic revenue decline was $4.4 or 1% compared to the prior year.
Cost of sales decreased 70 basis points to 65.9% of revenue in Q1 2017 compared to 66.6% of revenue in Q1 2016. The improvement in the Americas was driven by approximately $8 of lower material costs, favorable business mix, on-going cost reduction efforts and approximately $3 from improvements in negotiated customer pricing, partially offset by $6.0 of higher warranty costs.
Operating expenses in Q1 2017 increased by $7.2, or 120 basis points as a percent of revenue, compared to the prior year primarily due to increased sales and marketing costs of $4.5 and $1.8 related to an acquisition within the last twelve months.
Restructuring costs of $2.6 in Q1 2017 were associated with the closure of the manufacturing facility in High Point. Net restructuring benefits of $2.0 in Q1 2016 included a $2.8 gain related to the sale of a facility, partially offset by costs associated with the closure of the manufacturing facility in High Point. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
EMEA
The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase and Coalesse brands, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, seating and storage solutions.

Operating results in EMEA for Q1 2017 improved significantly compared to the prior year. The improvement was due to revenue growth, a significant decrease in cost of sales as a percent of revenue and lower restructuring costs compared to the prior year.

Table of Contents

EMEA revenue represented 17.4% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2017. Revenue for Q1 2017 was $125.3 compared to $119.9 in Q1 2016 and reflected $2.2 of favorable currency translation effects. The remaining increase in revenue was driven by strong growth in most of Western Europe partially offset by significant declines in the United Kingdom, Middle East and Africa. Organic revenue growth was $3.2 or 3%.
Cost of sales as a percent of revenue decreased by 480 basis points in Q1 2017 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by a $5 reduction in disruption costs and inefficiencies associated with manufacturing footprint changes and favorable business mix.
Operating expenses in Q1 2017 increased by $1.8 compared to the prior year and reflected $1.7 of higher costs associated with our new Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses in Q1 2017 increased 20 basis points compared to the prior year.
Restructuring costs of $2.0 in Q1 2017 were related to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Durlangen and the establishment of the Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. Restructuring costs of $3.9 in Q1 2016 were primarily related to costs associated with the exit of the manufacturing facility in Wisches and the closure of the manufacturing facility in Durlangen. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other
The Other category includes Asia Pacific, Designtex and PolyVision. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.

Operating results in the Other category improved significantly in Q1 2017 compared to the prior year. Improved operating performance in Asia Pacific and Designtex more than offset lower operating performance at PolyVision compared to the prior year.
Revenue in the Other category represented 10.2% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2017. Revenue in Q1 2017 increased by $7.2 to $73.1 compared to revenue of $65.9 in Q1 2016. The increase was driven by strong growth in Asia Pacific and Designtex partially offset by lower volume at PolyVision.

The increase in operating expenses in Q1 2017 was primarily due to higher deferred compensation expense, partially offset by higher COLI income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $75 to $150 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility.

As of May 27, 2016, we held a total of $151.8 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The majority of our short-term investments are located in the U.S. Of our total $133.4 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 62% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 38% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in Canada, Mexico, France and Hong Kong. The amounts located outside the U.S. would be taxable if repatriated to the U.S. as dividends. Such amounts are considered available to repay intercompany debt, available to meet local working capital requirements or permanently reinvested in foreign subsidiaries.
The majority of our short-term investments are maintained in a managed investment portfolio, which primarily consists of corporate debt securities and U.S. agency debt securities.
Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for long-term employee benefit obligations. However, COLI can be used as a source of liquidity if needed. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations. COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value.
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.

We have a $125 global committed five-year unsecured revolving syndicated credit 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 terms and conditions, including a restricted payment covenant which establishes a maximum level of dividends and/or other equity-related distributions or payments (such as share repurchases) we may make in any fiscal year. As of May 27, 2016, 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 27, 2016.
In addition, we have credit agreements of $37.9 which can be utilized to support letters of credit, bank guarantees or foreign exchange contracts; letters of credit and bank guarantees of $14.1 were outstanding under such facilities as of May 27, 2016. There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q1 2017.
Total consolidated debt as of May 27, 2016 was $299.2. Our debt primarily consists of $248.4 in term notes due in 2021 with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. In addition, we have a term loan with a balance as of May 27, 2016 of $50. This term loan has a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.20% and is due in 2024. The term notes are unsecured and the term loan is secured by two aircraft. The term notes and the term loan do not contain financial covenants and are not cross-defaulted to our 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 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, share repurchases, dividend payments and debt service obligations.
We currently expect capital expenditures to approximate $75 to $85 in 2017 compared to $93 in 2016. This estimate includes investments in our global manufacturing operations, product development and the new Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. 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 22, 2016, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.12 per share, or approximately $14.6, to be paid in Q2 2017. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors and compliance with the restricted payment covenant of our credit facilities.
Critical Accounting Estimates
During Q1 2017, there have been no changes in the items that we have identified as critical accounting estimates.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures:
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of May 27, 2016. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of May 27, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in (1) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A.
Risk Factors:
We may be adversely affected by changes in raw material and commodity costs.
We procure raw materials (including steel, petroleum-based products, aluminum, other metals, wood and particleboard) from a significant number of sources globally. These raw materials are not rare or unique to our industry. The costs of these commodities, as well as fuel and energy costs, can fluctuate due to changes in global supply and demand, larger currency movements and changes in import tariffs and trade barriers, which can also cause supply interruptions. In the short-term, rapid increases in raw material and commodity costs can be very difficult to offset with price increases because of existing contractual commitments with our customers, and it is difficult to find effective financial instruments to hedge against such changes. As a result, our gross margins can be adversely affected by short-term increases in these costs. If we are not successful in passing along higher raw material and commodity costs to our customers over the longer-term because of competitive pressures, our profitability could be negatively impacted.
In March 2016, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a preliminary determination in its antidumping investigations involving Japanese producers of cold-rolled steel, which resulted in dumping duties of 71.35% being applied to the specialized flat steel that PolyVision uses in the manufacture of porcelain-enameled writing surfaces, with the duties applying to imports dating back to December 2015. On June 22, 2016, the International Trade Commission affirmed the determination as to the dumping margin but overturned the retroactive application of the duties for the period from December 2015 to March 2016.  As a result of these proceedings, PolyVision's profitability in 2017 could be negatively impacted by up to $4 in costs associated with these actions, including duties for raw materials previously imported or for which PolyVision has already entered into binding purchase commitments and costs associated with evaluating alternative sources of raw materials.
