NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED March 31, 2024

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel” or “Our”) is one of the largest manufacturers, importers, and marketers of furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining rocking chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, kitchen storage, bedroom furniture, and outdoor furniture. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which the name “Flexsteel” is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through its e-commerce channel and direct sales force.BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies.

2. INVENTORIES

3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

During fiscal year 2020, the Company committed to a plan to sell assets located at the Company’s Starkville, Mississippi location as part of a restructuring plan. As of March 31, 2024, the Company continues to actively market the assets in Starkville, Mississippi. A summary of the assets held for sale as of March 31, 2024, is included in the table below.

	Total assets held for sale	$	5,309	$	(4,693	)	$	616

4. LEASES

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments,

and the ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.

The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains a lease. Some of the Company’s leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.

For purposes of measuring the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company’s line of credit. Some of the Company’s leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

On August 20, 2021, Flexsteel entered into a lease agreement for the construction of a 507,830 square foot manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico. The lease commencement date under ASC 842 guidance was July 1, 2022, the date the lessor made the building available for use by the Company for purposes of completing any leasehold improvements required by the Company prior to beginning operations. The 12-year lease ends on June 30, 2034, with options for two five-year extensions. Annual base rent under the lease is $3.2 million plus taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not begun operations in the Mexicali facility. On May 3, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease with a third party for 105,000 square feet of the Mexicali facility with a term of 12 months. Annual rent net of broker's fees under the sublease is $1 million, plus a proportionate share of taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. On October 2, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease with a third party for 339,413 square feet of the facility with an initial term of 12 months with four 6-month extensions. Annual rent net of broker's fees under the sublease is $2.2 million, plus a proportionate share of taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.

At March 31, 2024, the Company determined that no impairment indicators exist with regard to the Mexicali lease given the current and expected sublease tenants and plans for future operations in the facility. At March 31, 2024, the right-of-use asset associated specifically with the Mexicali lease is $30.5 million and associated lease liability is $32.1 million. Sublease income net of broker's fees received from the sub-tenant is offset against operating lease expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The components of the Company’s leases excluding the impact of sublease income reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023

5. RESTRUCTURING

On February 5, 2024, the Company announced its plan to close its Dublin, Georgia manufacturing facility. The closure is expected to be complete by the end of fourth quarter fiscal year 2024.

As a result of the planned closure, the Company anticipated incurring pre-tax restructuring and related expenses between $3.0 million and $3.1 million. Total cumulative restructuring and related costs incurred as of March 31, 2024, was $2.6 million.

The following is a summary of restructuring costs:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Accrual balance on March 31, 2024	$	1,715		$	110		$	1,825

6. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

On September 8, 2021, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for up to an $85 million revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $5 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds of borrowings were used to refinance all indebtedness owed to a prior lender and for working capital purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all its assets, excluding real property. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a financial covenant to maintain a fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, and to merge or consolidate with other entities. As of March 31, 2024, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On April 18, 2022, the Company, as the borrower, entered into a first amendment to the September 8, 2021, Credit Agreement (“First Amendment to the Credit Agreement”), with the Lender and the lenders thereto. The amendment to the Credit Agreement changed the definition of the term ‘Payment Conditions’ and further defined default or event of default and the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.50% per annum. On May 24, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement") with the Lender to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Effective as of the date of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 1.36% to 1.61%, or an effective interest rate of 6.68%, on March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $14.2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Letters of credit outstanding with the Lender as of March 31, 2024, totaled $1.1 million.

7. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the interim periods is based on an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Management judgment is required in projecting ordinary income to estimate the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, was 32.2% and 21.0%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was 30.8% and 14.8%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% due to nondeductible stock compensation, state taxes, the impacts associated with uncertain tax positions, and impact of foreign operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% due to nondeductible stock compensation, state taxes, the impacts associated with uncertain tax positions, as well as impacts arising from the reversal of a valuation allowance associated with movements in certain deferred tax assets.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to measure all share-based payments at grant date fair value and recognize the cost over the requisite service period. Restricted shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) generally vest over 1 to 3 years. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock price at the grant date and are exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of grant. Stock-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

The following table is a summary of total stock-based compensation expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	877	$	802	$	2,722	$	2,472

On December 14, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”).

The 2022 Plan replaced the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP”) and the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). No further awards will be made under either of the Prior Plans, but these Prior Plans will continue to govern awards previously granted under them.

(1) 2022 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2022 Plan is a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted to certain employees, independent contractors and directors of the Company, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares or other stock-based awards. For periods beginning on or after July 1, 2023, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to officers and key employees as part of long-term compensation programs are issued from the 2022 Plan. RSUs and PSUs awarded from the 2022 Plan are included in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation or Restricted Share and RSUs tables below.

(2) Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

The LTIP provided for PSUs to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). In conjunction with each grant of PSUs, the Committee granted RSUs under the 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan that vested at the end of three years. No further awards will be issued under this plan.

(3) 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan

The 2013 Omnibus Stock Plan was for key employees, officers and directors and provided for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance units. No further awards will be issued under this plan.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2024, the number of unvested PSUs granted at the target performance level for the 2022-2024, 2023-2025, and 2024-2026 performance periods under the 2022 Plan and LTIP (as applicable) and the number of unvested RSUs granted in conjunction with the PSUs. For PSUs awarded for the three year performance period ending June 30, 2024 participants may earn the award based on a cumulative three year performance goal. For PSUs awarded for the three year performance periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2026, participants may earn one-third of the award in each of the three years based on meeting performance goals for that year. The Committee selected Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Tax based on a defined percentage growth as the performance metric for the performance periods ending June 30, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock include the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term incentive compensation plans, and non-vested restricted stock units. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive options are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price is greater than the average closing market price of the common shares.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters – In March 2016, the Company received a General Notice Letter for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site (the “Lane Street Site”) located in Elkhart, Indiana from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April 2016, the EPA issued their proposed clean-up plan for groundwater pollution and request for public comment. The Company responded to the request for public comment in May 2016. The EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting a remedy in August 2016 and estimated total costs to remediate of $3.6 million. In July 2017, the EPA issued a Special Notice Letter to the Company demanding that the Company perform the remedy selected and pay for the remediation cost and past response costs of $5.5 million. On October 12, 2017, the Company, after consultation with its insurance carriers, offered an amount, fully reimbursable by insurance coverage, to the EPA to resolve this matter. On November 6, 2017, the settlement offer extended on October 12, 2017, was rejected.

In April 2018, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (the “Order”) against the Company. The Order was issued under Section 106(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9606(a). The Order directed the Company to perform remedial design and remedial action for the Lane Street Site. The Order was to be effective May 29, 2018. To ensure completion of the remediation work, the EPA required the Company to secure financial assurance in the initial amount of $3.6 million, which as noted above, was the estimated cost of remedial work. The Company believed that financial assurance was not required because it met the relevant financial test criteria as provided in the Order. In May 2018, the EPA agreed to suspend enforcement of the Order so that the Company could conduct environmental testing upgradient to its former manufacturing location pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC). On April 24, 2019, the Company signed an AOC with the EPA to conduct the upgradient investigation. The Company negotiated site access to the upgradient property over a period of months in 2019, followed by completion of sampling activities on that property on September 28-29, 2019. Following multiple exchanges from November 2019 through early 2020, the Company submitted a final and supplemental report to the EPA regarding the results of the upgradient investigation on June 17, 2020.

Despite the Company’s position that it did not cause or contribute to the contamination, the Company reached a settlement with the EPA and the State of Indiana, which was filed as a consent decree in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana on October 24, 2022. The consent decree required Flexsteel to pay $9.8 million in resolution of the matter. Flexsteel also reached agreements with its insurance carriers for partial reimbursement of the settlement. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company made full payment in accordance with the settlement agreement and as a result of insurance proceeds received, the Company recorded income of $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Other Proceedings – From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024 vs. 2023

Net sales were $107.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to net sales of $99.1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 8.2%. The increase was driven by higher sales in home furnishings products sold through retail stores of $8.5 million, or 9.7%, led by unit volume increases and product mix. Sales of products sold through e-commerce channels decreased by ($0.4) million, or (3.6%), compared to the third quarter of the prior year. Lower sales in the e-commerce channel were driven by softer consumer demand and less promotional activity to improve overall profitability.

Home furnishings backlog was $62 million as of the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of (1.6%) compared to $63 million in the prior year quarter.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was 21.7%, compared to 18.8% for the prior year quarter, an increase of 290 basis points (“bps”). The 290-bps increase was primarily due to supply chain cost saving initiatives and fixed cost leverage on higher sales volume.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $1.2 million or 7.3% to $17.7 million in the third quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $16.5 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 16.5% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 16.7% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The 20-bps decrease was due to leverage on higher sales partially offset by investments in growth initiatives for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $2.6 million of restructuring expenses primarily for employee termination and facility closure costs as part of the previously announced closure of our Dublin, Georgia manufacturing facility. See Note 5, Restructuring, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Income tax expense was $0.9 million, or an effective rate of 32.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to an income tax expense of $0.4 million, or an effective rate of 21.0% during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024,

the effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% due to nondeductible stock compensation, state taxes, the impacts associated with uncertain tax positions, and the impact of foreign operations.

Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

Net sales were $301.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net sales of $287.9 million in the prior-year nine-month period, an increase of 4.9%. The increase in sales of $14.0 million was driven by a $16.1 million increase related to home furnishing products sold through retailers offset by a decrease of ($2.1) million for home furnishing products sold through e-commerce channels.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was 21.1%, compared to 17.3% for the prior-year nine-month period, an increase of 380 bps. The 380-bps increase was primarily driven by the same factors discussed above for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior-year nine-month period. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 17.1% in the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior-year nine-month period of 16.0%. The 110-bps increase was primarily due to investments in growth initiatives and higher incentive compensation for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $2.6 million of restructuring expenses primarily for employee termination and facility closure costs as part of the previously announced closure of our Dublin, Georgia manufacturing facility. See Note 5, Restructuring, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded income of $2.8 million related to the settlement of an environmental remediation liability. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Income tax expense was $2.5 million, or an effective rate of 30.8%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income tax expense of $0.8 million in the prior-year nine-month period, or an effective tax rate of 14.8%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily impacted by nondeductible stock compensation, state taxes, the impacts associated with uncertain tax positions, and the impact of foreign operations.

Net income was $5.6 million, or $1.04 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share in the prior-year nine-month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) on March 31, 2024, was $96.2 million compared to $115.5 million on June 30, 2023. The $19.4 million decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in inventory of $25.5 million, an increase in other current liabilities of $1.3 million, and an increase of operating lease liabilities of $0.4 million partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $3.1 million, an increase in other current assets of $2.8 million, an increase in cash of $1.2 million, and an increase in net trade receivables of $0.7 million. Refer to discussion of working capital changes below, under Net cash provided by operating activities. Capital expenditures were $4.4 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

A summary of operating, investing, and financing cash flow is shown in the following table:

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $3.6 million due to capital expenditures.

Net cash (used in) financing activities

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $18.8 million, due to payments on the line of credit of $284.5 million partially offset by proceeds from the line of credit of $270.4 million, dividends paid of $2.4 million, $1.7 million paid for purchases of company stock, and $0.7 million paid for tax payments on employee vested restricted shares netted with proceeds from the issuance of common stock partially offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock of $0.1 million.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $26.6 million, primarily due to payments on lines of credit of $274.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from lines of credit of $254.5 million.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, as well as disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, taxes or tariffs on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, increase costs, and decrease earnings.

Foreign Currency Risk – During the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have sales but did have purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican Peso. The wages of our employees and certain other employee benefits and indirect costs related to our operations in Mexico are made in Pesos and subject to foreign currency fluctuation with the U.S. dollar. The Company does not employ any foreign currency hedges against this exposure. A negative shift in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Peso could increase the cost of our manufactured product. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s primary market risk exposure regarding financial instruments is changes in interest rates. On March 31, 2024, the Company had $14.2 million outstanding on its line of credit, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of March 31, 2024.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements concerning long-term goals or anticipated results of the Company, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders.

Statements, including those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, supply chain disruptions, litigation, restructurings, the effectiveness of new product introductions and distribution channels, the product mix of sales, pricing pressures, the cost of raw materials and fuel, changes in foreign currency values, retention and recruitment of key employees, actions by governments including laws, regulations, taxes and tariffs, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon, competition (both U.S. and foreign), credit exposure with customers, participation in multi-employer pension plans, disruptions or security breaches to business information systems, the impact of any future pandemic, and general economic conditions. For further information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
