2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued this ASU which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued this ASU which requires disclosure on an annual and interim basis, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. In January 2025, the FASB additionally issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for entities that do not have a calendar year-end. The update will be effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We have assessed all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are not relevant to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact.

Goodwill
The Company used the discounted cash flow method under a weighting of the income and market approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. These approaches are based on a discounted cash flow analysis and observable comparable company information that use several inputs, including:
•actual and forecasted revenue growth rates and operating margins,
•discount rates based on the reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital, and
•revenue and EBITDA of comparable companies.
The Company selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, management’s long-term strategic plans, and guideline companies.
As a result of the third quarter fiscal year 2025 goodwill impairment test, the Company recognized a total non-cash impairment charge of $30.1 million and $62.2 million in its Global Retail and Holly Hunt reporting units, respectively. The goodwill impairment charges were primarily caused by reduced sales and profitability projections as well as an increase in the discount rate. After these impairment charges and before the changes in reporting units resulting from our segment re-organization, the Global Retail and Holly Hunt reporting units had remaining goodwill of $357.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
Additionally, the quantitative assessment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 resulted in the fair values of the Americas Contract, International Contract and Coverings reporting units exceeding their respective carrying values (the "cushion") by 32 %, 63 % and 10 %, respectively.
Generally, changes in estimates of expected future cash flows would have a similar effect on the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. For example, a 1.0% decrease in estimated annual future cash flows would decrease the estimated fair value of the reporting unit by approximately 1.0%. The estimated long-term growth rate can have a significant impact on the estimated future cash flows, and therefore, the fair value of each reporting unit. Of the other key assumptions that impact the estimated fair values, most reporting units have the greatest sensitivity to changes in the estimated discount rate. In completing the goodwill impairment test, the respective fair values were estimated using discount rates ranging from 12.0 % to 15.0 % and long-term growth rates ranging from 2.5 % to 3.0 %.
The Company evaluated the sensitivity of changes in projected growth rates, discount rates and long-term growth rates for the reporting units with goodwill remaining as of March 1, 2025.
•A decrease in the forecasted sales by 500 basis points in all years or an increase in the discount rate of 100 basis points, leaving all other assumptions static, would not result in impairment for the Americas Contract, International Contract or Coverings reporting units.
•A decrease in the operating margin of 100 basis points in all years, leaving all other assumptions static, would not result in impairment for the Americas Contract or International Contract reporting units. For the Coverings reporting unit it would result in impairment of $3.0 million.
•A reduction in the projected sales growth rate, decline in operating margins, an increase in the discount rate or a decline in the long-term sales growth rate for the Holly Hunt or Global Retail reporting units may result in the need to record an additional impairment charge.
12
Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in the reportable segments and reporting units. As a result, the Company performed the required impairment assessments directly before and immediately after the change in reporting units. As a result of this change, $26.1 33.0 four
Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
The Company evaluates indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets for impairment annually. The Company also tests for impairment if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is below its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the estimated fair value on the measurement date. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, in conjunction with the goodwill impairment triggering event discussed above, the Company assessed its indefinite-lived trade names for indicators of impairment. As a result, the Company recognized $37.7 million in non-cash impairment charges related to the Knoll and Muuto trade names during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.
The Company performed quantitative assessments during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 in testing the indefinite-lived intangible assets which showed indicators that impairment was more likely than not. In performing this assessment, we estimate the fair value of these intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method which requires assumptions related to:
•actual and forecasted revenue growth rates,
•assumed royalty rates that could be payable if we did not own the trademark, and
•a market participant discount rate based on a weighted-average cost of capital.
In completing the third quarter fiscal year 2025 assessment of indefinite-lived trade name impairment, the respective fair values were estimated using discount rates ranging from 12.75 % to 17.25 %, royalty rates ranging from 1.00 % to 3.00 %, and long-term growth rates ranging from 2.50 % to 3.00 %. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets are sensitive to changes in the key assumptions above as well as projected financial performance. If the estimated cash flows related to the Company's indefinite-lived intangibles were to decline in future periods, the Company may need to record additional impairment charges. Management has not identified any events or changes in circumstances that may indicate an indefinite-lived intangible is more likely than not to be impaired as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

6. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to MillerKnoll, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to MillerKnoll, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including all potentially dilutive common shares. In periods of loss, there are no potentially dilutive common shares to add to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to MillerKnoll, Inc.:

8. Income Taxes
The Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025, involved using an estimated annual effective tax rate which was based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The effective tax rates were 22.5 % and 21.8 %, respectively, for the three month periods ended November 29, 2025, and November 30, 2024. The year over year change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended November 29, 2025, resulted from the prior year quarter reflecting favorable discrete impacts from return to provision true-ups related to the United States research and development credit and the current quarter having no comparable impacts. For both the three months ended November 29, 2025, and the three months ended November 30, 2024, the effective rate is higher than the United States federal statutory rate due to United States state income taxes and the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions that had rates that were higher than the United States federal statutory rate.
The effective tax rates were 24.3 % and 20.0 %, respectively, for the six months ended November 29, 2025, and November 30, 2024. The year over year increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended November 29, 2025, resulted from the current six months having unfavorable discrete impacts from stock compensation and the prior year period having favorable discrete impacts from return to provision true-ups related to the United States research and development tax credit. For the six months ended November 29, 2025, the effective tax rate is higher than the United States federal statutory rate due to United States state income taxes, the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions having rates higher than the United States federal statutory rate and unfavorable discrete impacts from the vesting of stock compensation. For the six months ended November 30, 2024, the effective tax rate is lower than the United States federal statutory rate due to favorable discrete impacts from stock compensation and return to provision true-ups related to the United States research and development tax credit.
9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, deferred compensation plans, accounts payable, debt, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company's financial instruments, other than long-term debt, are recorded at fair value.
The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, is as follows for the periods indicated:
| (In millions) | November 29, 2025 | May 31, 2025 | |||||||||
| Carrying value | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Fair value | $ | $ | |||||||||
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in net earnings, which have not significantly changed in the current period:
Cash and cash equivalents — The Company invests excess cash in short term investments in the form of money market funds, which are valued using net asset value ("NAV").
Deferred compensation plan — The Company's deferred compensation plan primarily includes various domestic and international equity and fixed income mutual funds that are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar securities.
Foreign currency exchange contracts — The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using an approach based on foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets. The estimated fair value of forward currency exchange contracts is based on month-end spot rates as adjusted by market-based current activity. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments.
The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through net income and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of November 29, 2025, and May 31, 2025.

Interest rate swap agreements — The value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements are determined using a market approach based on rates obtained from active markets. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedging instruments.
The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of November 29, 2025, and May 31, 2025.

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method; realized gains and losses resulting from such sales are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Other expense (income), net. The Company views its equity and fixed income mutual funds as available for use in its current operations. Accordingly, the investments are recorded within Current Assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, the Company's strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from net liability or asset exposures in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries. These foreign currency forward contracts generally settle within 30 days and are not used for trading purposes.
These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of the reporting period in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The balance sheet classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is Other current assets for unrealized gains and to Other accrued liabilities for unrealized losses. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is to Other (income) expense, net, for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and its overall cost of borrowing. The Company's interest rate swap agreements exchange variable rate interest payments for fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is used to measure interest to be paid or received. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
In September 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is for an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million with a forward start date of January 3, 2018, and a termination date of January 3, 2028. As a result of the transaction, the Company effectively converted the interest rate on indebtedness anticipated to be borrowed on the Company’s revolving line of credit up to the notional amount from a LIBOR-based floating interest rate plus applicable margin to a 1.949 % fixed interest rate plus applicable margin as of the forward start date. The swap agreement was amended in February 2023 for each calculation period beginning on February 3, 2023, and thereafter, to replace the LIBOR-based floating interest rate with a Term SOFR rate, and a 1.910 % modified fixed interest rate. In May 2025, the swap agreement was amended to remove the 0.11448 % floor and related CSA.
In June 2017, the Company entered into a second interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is for an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million with a forward start date of January 3, 2018 and a termination date of January 3, 2028. As a result of the transaction, the Company effectively converted the interest rate on indebtedness anticipated to be borrowed on the Company’s revolving line of credit up to the notional amount from a LIBOR-based floating interest rate plus applicable margin to a 2.387 % fixed interest rate plus applicable margin as of the forward start date. The swap agreement was amended in February 2023 for each calculation period beginning on February 3, 2023, and thereafter, to replace the LIBOR-based floating interest rate with a Term SOFR rate, and a 2.348 % modified fixed interest rate. In May 2025, the swap agreement was amended to remove the 0.11448 % floor and related CSA.
In January 2022, the Company entered into a third interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is for an aggregate notional amount of $575.0 million with a forward start date of January 31, 2022, and a maturity date of January 29, 2027. The interest rate swap locked in the Company’s interest rate on the forecasted outstanding borrowings of $575.0 million at 1.689 % exclusive of the credit spread on the variable rate debt. As a result of the transaction, under the terms of the agreement the Company effectively will convert one month Term SOFR floating interest rate plus applicable margin to 1.689 % fixed interest rate plus applicable margin as of the forward start date. The swap agreement was amended in February 2023 for each calculation period beginning on January 31, 2023, and thereafter, to replace the LIBOR-based floating interest rate with a Term SOFR rate, and a 1.650 % modified fixed interest rate. In May 2025, the swap agreement was amended to remove the 0.11448 % floor and related CSA.
17
In February 2023, the Company entered into a fourth interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is for an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million with a forward start date of March 3, 2023, and a termination date of January 3, 2029. The interest rate swap locked in the Company's interest rate on the forecasted outstanding borrowings of $150.0 million at 3.950 % exclusive of the credit spread on the variable rate debt. As a result of the transaction, under the terms of the agreement the Company effectively will convert one month Term SOFR floating interest rate plus applicable margin to 3.950
The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges at inception and the facts and circumstances of the hedged relationships remain consistent with the initial quantitative effectiveness assessment in that the hedged instruments remain an effective accounting hedge as of November 29, 2025. Since a designated derivative meets hedge accounting criteria, the fair value of the hedge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is immediately recognized in earnings. The interest rate swap agreements are assessed for hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The impact of derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is included in Net cash provided by operating activities.

The swaps above effectively converted indebtedness up to the notional amounts from a SOFR-based floating interest rate plus applicable margin to an effective fixed interest rate plus applicable margin under the terms of our Credit Agreement. Effective fixed interest rates include the rates amended effective January 31, 2023, or February 3, 2023, for the first three swaps included in the chart above.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Product Warranties
The Company provides coverage to the end-user for parts and labor on products sold under its warranty policy and for other product-related matters. The specific terms, conditions, and length of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold. The Company does not sell or otherwise issue warranties or warranty extensions as stand-alone products. Reserves have been established for various costs associated with the Company's warranty programs. General warranty reserves are based on historical claims experience and other currently available information and are periodically adjusted for business levels and other factors. The Company provides an assurance-type warranty that ensures that products will function as intended. As such, the Company's estimated warranty obligation is accounted for as a liability and is recorded within current and long-term liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in the warranty reserve for the stated periods were as follows:

Guarantees
The Company is periodically required to provide performance bonds to do business with certain customers. These arrangements are common in the industry and generally have terms ranging between one year and three years . The bonds are required to provide assurance to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. The bonds are provided by various bonding agencies. However, the Company is ultimately liable for claims that may occur against them. As of November 29, 2025, the Company had a maximum financial exposure related to performance bonds totaling approximately $12.4 million. The Company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to pay, under any of these arrangements. The Company also believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, no
The Company has entered into standby letter of credit arrangements for purposes of protecting various insurance companies and lessors against default on insurance premium and lease payments. As of November 29, 2025, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from these standby letters of credit totaling approximately $12.1 million, all of which is considered usage against the Company's revolving line of credit. The Company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, no

Contingencies
The Company is also involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
11. Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

In connection with the acquisition of Knoll, in July 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provided for a syndicated revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") and two term loans. The Revolver provides the Company with up to $725.0 million in revolving variable rate interest borrowing capacity that matures in July 2026, replacing the previous $500.0 million syndicated revolving line of credit. The term loans consist of a five-year senior secured Term Loan "A" facility with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and a seven-year senior secured Term Loan "B" facility with an aggregate principal amount of $625.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Knoll, for the repayment of certain debt of Knoll, and to pay fees, costs, and expenses related thereto.
In January 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment to the credit agreement which transitioned the benchmark rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for U.S. dollar borrowings. SOFR is the recommended risk-free reference rate of the Federal Reserve Board and Alternative Reference Rates Committee, as defined within the credit agreement. The indebtedness incurred under the revolving line of credit and term loans is secured by substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, the Company’s intellectual property. The Company’s direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries have also guaranteed the obligations of the Company and the foreign borrowers under the revolving line of credit and term loans and pledged substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets as security for their obligations under such guarantee.
In April 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. Amended terms for the Revolver and Term Loan A include extending the maturity to April 2030, a new amortization schedule of required quarterly principal payments for Term Loan A, and a higher maximum first lien secured net leverage ratio with no step downs. The Company also increased liquidity by raising the amount borrowed on Term Loan A to $400.0 million and applying excess cash to reduce the outstanding Revolver balance. The Revolver continues to be a $725.0 million facility. In connection with the execution of the amendment, the accounting treatment of Term Loan A and the Revolver was assessed on a lender-by-lender basis in accordance with ASC 470-50. Based on the specific facts and circumstances applicable to each lender in the syndicate, the amendment was accounted for as a modification, extinguishment, or new loan, as appropriate.
In August 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. Amended terms for Term Loan B include extending the maturity to August 2032, a new amortization schedule of required quarterly principal payments for Term Loan B, and the elimination of the credit spread adjustment for Term Loan B that was added to accommodate the LIBOR to SOFR benchmark transition. The Company reduced the amount borrowed on Term Loan B to $550.0 million. This amendment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, and the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.8 million from the original Term Loan B issuance were written off as an expense during the quarter and recorded within Other expense (income), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
20
During the six months ended November 29, 2025, the Company made total principal payments on Term Loan A and B in the amounts of $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended November 30, 2024, the Company made total principal payments on Term Loan A and B in the amounts of $15.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
In September 2025, the Company entered into a three-year accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Facility"), scheduled to terminate September 2028, in the aggregate amount of up to $90.0 million. Under the terms of the Facility, the Company sells, on a revolving basis, certain accounts receivables to MillerKnoll Receivables LLC, a direct wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the "SPE") of the Company that in turn uses the receivables to secure the borrowings, the proceeds of which will be used for general working capital purposes. The SPE is included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and therefore the accounts receivable owned by it are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the accounts receivable owned by the SPE are separate and distinct from our other assets and are not available to our other creditors should the Company become insolvent. As of November 29, 2025, the SPE held $57.5 million of accounts receivable. The securitization is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes. The outstanding balance as of November 29, 2025 is reported in Long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Supplier Financing Program
The Company has an agreement with a third-party financial institution that allows certain participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations of the Company. Under this program, participating suppliers may finance payment obligations of the Company, prior to their scheduled due dates, at a discounted price to the third-party financial institution.
The Company has lengthened the payment terms for certain suppliers that have chosen to participate in the program. As a result, certain amounts due to suppliers have payment terms that are longer than standard industry practice and as such, these amounts have been excluded from “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the amounts have been accounted for by the Company as current debt, within “Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt.” As of November 29, 2025, and May 31, 2025, the liability related to the supplier financing program was $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

13. Operating Segments
The Company's operations are managed and evaluated around the organization and alignment of internal operations and geographical location. Effective on March 1, 2025, the last day of the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in reportable segments. The Company has restated historical results to reflect this change. Under our new reportable segments, there are three reportable segments consisting of North America Contract, International Contract and Global Retail.
The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck|FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands.
The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
The Global Retail segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores, along with the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand.
The Company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs. Management regularly reviews corporate costs and believes disclosing such information provides more visibility and transparency regarding how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews results of the Company.
The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who is regularly provided the operating results of our reportable segments and reviews the actual operating results against forecasted figures for the purposes of monitoring and assessing performance, allocating capital, and making strategic and operational decisions.
The CODM uses Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) as the key operating metric to measure segment profit or loss, evaluate the performance of the segments, analyze variances of actual performance to forecasts, and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Segment Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported Operating Earnings adjusted for restructuring charges, integration charges, amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, and significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations.
The Company's CODM does not review assets by segment to assess segment performance or allocate resources, nor is such information provided to the CODM. Accordingly, the Company does not present assets by segment.
The accounting policies for each of the operating segments are the same as those of the Company. Additionally, the Company employs a methodology for allocating corporate costs with the underlying objective of this methodology being to allocate corporate costs according to the relative usage of the underlying resources. The majority of the allocations for corporate expenses are based on relative net sales. However, certain corporate costs generally considered the result of isolated business decisions, are not subject to allocation and are evaluated separately from the rest of regular ongoing business operations.
The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective periods indicated:

Many of the Company's assets, including manufacturing, office and showroom facilities, support multiple segments. For that reason, it is impractical to disclose asset information on a segment basis.
14. Restructuring and Integration Expense
As part of restructuring and integration activities the Company has incurred expenses that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include severance and employee benefit costs as well as other direct separation benefit costs, right of use asset impairment charges and fixed asset impairment charges. Severance and employee benefit costs primarily relate to cash severance, as well as non-cash severance, including accelerated equity award compensation expense. The Company also incurred expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, our restructuring and integration activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include integration implementation costs that relate primarily to professional fees, non-cash losses incurred on debt extinguishment, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
The expense associated with integration initiatives are included in Selling, general and administrative and the expenses associated with restructuring activities are included in Restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Knoll Integration:
Following the Knoll acquisition, the Company announced a multi-year program (the "Knoll Integration") designed to reduce costs and integrate and optimize operations of the combined organization. To date, the Company has recorded a total of $144.4 million in pre-tax integration expense related to this plan. No future costs related to this plan are expected. The integration expenses incurred by the Company included expenses within the following categories:
•Severance and employee benefit costs associated with plans to integrate our operating structure, resulting in workforce reductions. These costs primarily include: severance and employee benefits (cash severance, non-cash severance, including accelerated stock-compensation award expense and other termination benefits).
•Exit and disposal activities include those incurred as a direct result of integration activities, primarily including the reorganization and consolidation of facilities as well as asset impairment charges.
•Other integration costs include professional fees and other incremental third-party expenses, including a loss on extinguishment of debt associated with financing of the Knoll acquisition.
For the three months ended November 29, 2025 and November 30, 2024, and the six months ended November 29, 2025, there were no
For the six months ended November 30, 2024, we incurred $28.3 million of costs related to the Knoll Integration which was comprised of $25.8 million of exit and disposal costs related to the consolidation of facilities and $2.5 million of other integration costs.

Restructuring Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company announced an action related to the 2026 restructuring plan ("2026 restructuring plan") to reduce expenses. This restructuring activity included expenses related to a facilities consolidation plan. As a result, the Company revised the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets, which increased depreciation expense. In connection with the 2026 restructuring plan, restructuring charges totaled $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025. Included in these amounts was depreciation expense of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the respective periods.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company announced actions related to the 2025 restructuring plan ("2025 restructuring plan") to reduce expenses. This restructuring activity included involuntary reductions in workforce as well as non-cash right of use asset impairment charges. For the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company incurred $14.8 million of restructuring charges related to the 2025 restructuring plan. The restructuring plan was complete in fiscal 2025 and no
During fiscal year 2024, the Company announced an action related to the 2024 restructuring plan ("2024 restructuring plan") to reduce expenses. This restructuring activity included involuntary reductions in workforces as well as expenses related to a facilities consolidation plan, comprised primarily of non-cash right of use asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. For the year ended June 1, 2024, the Company incurred $30.8 million of restructuring charges related to the 2024 restructuring plan. The restructuring plan was complete in fiscal 2024 and no

15. Variable Interest Entities
The Company entered into long-term notes receivable with certain independently owned dealers that are deemed to be variable interests in variable interest entities. The carrying value of these notes receivable was $12.2 million and $13.5 million as of November 29, 2025, and May 31, 2025, respectively, and represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary for any of these variable interest entities as each independently owned dealer controls the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, including sales, marketing, and operations.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in millions, except share data)
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that affected the Company's financial condition, earnings, and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. References to “Notes” are to the footnotes included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Overview
The Company researches, designs, manufactures, sells, and distributes interior furnishings for use in various environments including residential, office, healthcare, and educational settings and provides related services that support organizations and individuals all over the world. The Company's products are sold primarily through independent contract office furniture dealers, direct customer sales, owned and independent retailers and the Company’s eCommerce platforms.
The following is a summary of results for the three months ended November 29, 2025:
•Net sales were $955.2 million and orders were $972.5 million, representing a decrease of 1.6% and an increase of 5.5%, respectively, when compared to the same quarter of the prior year. On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, Net sales were $946.5 million(*) and orders were $963.4 million(*), representing an organic decrease of 2.5%(*) and an organic increase of 4.5%(*), respectively, when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
•Gross margin in the second quarter was 39.0%, an increase of 20 basis points when compared to the same quarter of the prior year, related primarily to the impact of favorable product and channel mix as well as the benefit from price increase actions, which more than offset cost pressures from tariffs and unfavorable leverage of fixed operations costs on lower sales volume.
•Operating expenses increased $9.2 million or 2.9% as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was driven primarily from costs associated with the expansion of the retail store footprint in North America and increased fixed and variable compensation costs.
•The effective tax rate was 22.5% compared to 21.8% for the same quarter of the prior year. The change as compared to the prior year resulted primarily from the level of net income or net loss in the periods as well as the impact of discrete items in each of the periods.
•Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $0.35 as compared to $0.49 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.43(*), a 21.8%(*) decrease as compared to the prior year quarter.
(*) Non-GAAP measurements; see accompanying reconciliations and explanations under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
A comparison of Net sales and orders during the second quarter to the prior year quarter by segment is as follows:
•The North America Contract segment in the second quarter reported Net sales totaling $508.5 million, down 3.1% compared to the prior year period on a reported and organic basis. North America Contract had new orders of $506.8 million, which represents an increase of 4.8% from the prior year on both a reported and organic basis.
•The International Contract segment delivered Net sales in the second quarter of $170.9 million, a decrease of 6.3% from the year-ago period on a reported basis and a decrease of 9.2%(*) organically. New orders in this segment totaled $162.0 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 6.6% on a reported basis and an increase of 3.4%(*) organically.
•Net sales in the second quarter for the Global Retail segment totaled $275.8 million, an increase of 4.7% over the same quarter last year on a reported basis and an increase of 3.4%(*) organically. Orders in the quarter totaled $303.7 million, up 6.0% compared to the same period last year on a reported basis and up 4.5%(*) organically.

The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to May 31. The fiscal year ending May 30, 2026 ("fiscal 2026") and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 ("fiscal 2025") both contain 52 weeks.
The remaining sections within Item 2 include additional analysis of the three and six months ended November 29, 2025, including discussion of significant variances compared to the prior year periods.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included within this report. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented.
The non-GAAP financial measures referenced within this report include: Adjusted Earnings per Share and Organic Growth (Decline).
Adjusted Earnings per Share represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, integration charges, restructuring expenses, Knoll pension plan termination charges, debt extinguishment charges and the related tax effect of these adjustments. These adjustments are described further below.
Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects.
The adjustments made to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are as follows:
•Amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles: Includes expenses associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangibles acquired as part of the Knoll acquisition. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. We exclude the impact of the amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles as such non-cash amounts were significantly impacted by the size of the Knoll acquisition. Furthermore, we believe that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Although we exclude the Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles in these non-GAAP measures, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
•Integration charges: Knoll integration-related costs include severance, asset impairment charges associated with lease and operations facility consolidation activity, and expenses related to synergy realization efforts and reorganization initiatives.
•Restructuring charges: Includes costs associated with actions involving targeted workforce reductions, facility consolidation charges, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
•Knoll pension plan termination charges: Includes expenses incurred associated with the termination of the Knoll pension plan which was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
•Debt extinguishment charges: Includes expenses associated with the extinguishment of debt. We excluded these items from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
•Tax related items: We excluded the income tax benefit/provision effect of the tax related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our ongoing operating results.

Net Sales
The following chart presents graphically the primary drivers of the year-over-year change in Net sales for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025. The amounts presented in the graph are expressed in millions and have been rounded.
34
Net sales decreased $15.2 million or 1.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by:
•Decreased sales volumes in the North America Contract and International Contract segments contributed approximately $37 million and $13 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by:
•Price increases, net of discounting, which positively impacted net sales by approximately $19 million. This includes the favorable impact of pricing actions taken to help offset tariff cost pressures.
•Favorable foreign currency translation, which increased net sales by approximately $9 million.
•Increased sales volumes in the Global Retail segment increased net sales by $7 million.
Net sales increased $79.0 million or 4.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. The following items contributed to the change:
•Price increases, net of discounting, which positively impacted net sales by approximately $21 million. This includes the favorable impact of pricing actions taken to help offset tariff cost pressures.
•Increased sales volumes in the North America Contract, Global Retail and International Contract segments contributed approximately $17 million, $15 million and $9 million, respectively.
•Favorable foreign currency translation, which increased net sales by approximately $17 million.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 39.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to 38.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The year-over-year change in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following factors:
•Favorable channel and product mix positively impacted margin by approximately 90 basis points.
•The impact of incremental list price increases, net of contract price discounting, and excluding tariff-based pricing actions, increased gross margin percentage by 50 basis points. These increases were partially offset by:
•Tariff-related costs, net of pricing actions taken to help offset costs, adversely impacted gross margin by approximately 70 basis points.
•Unfavorable leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes negatively impacted margin by 50 basis points.
Gross margin was 38.7% in the six months ended November 29, 2025, as compared to 38.9% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The following factors summarize the major drivers of the year-over-year change in gross margin percentage:
•Tariff-related costs, net of pricing actions taken to help offset costs, adversely impacted gross margin by approximately 110 basis points. This increase was partially offset by:
•The impact of incremental list price increases, net of contract price discounting and excluding tariff specific pricing actions, increased gross margin percentage by 50 basis points.
35
• Favorable channel and product mix which positively impacted margin by approximately 40 basis points.
Operating Expenses
The following chart presents graphically the primary drivers of the year-over-year change in Operating expenses for the three and six months ended November 29, 2025. The amounts presented in the graphs are expressed in millions and have been rounded.
Operating expenses increased by $9.2 million or 2.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year period. The following factors contributed to the change:
•Incremental costs of $4 million associated with the expansion of our retail store footprint.
•Increased fixed and variable compensation costs of approximately $4 million.
•Variable selling costs, including sales-based commissions and royalty expenses which rose by approximately $1 million compared to the prior year period.
36
Operating expenses increased by $2.7 million or 0.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. The following factors contributed to the change:
•Increased fixed and variable compensation costs of approximately $13 million.
•Variable selling costs, including sales-based commissions and royalty expenses which rose by approximately $8 million compared to the prior year period.
•Incremental costs of $7 million associated with the expansion of our retail store footprint.
•Foreign currency translation also contributed an increase in operating expenses of approximately $2 million relative to the prior year.
•These increases were partially offset by a reduction in acquisition-related integration charges and restructuring charges, which totaled approximately $28 million.
Other Income/Expense
During the three months ended November 29, 2025, net Other expense was $16.0 million, representing a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by lower interest expense of $2.5 million resulting from reduced debt levels, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $0.8 million.
During the six months ended November 29, 2025, net Other expense was $40.8 million, representing an increase of $6.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.8 million incurred in connection with the refinancing of term loan debt during the current year, offset in part by lower interest expense resulting from reduced debt levels.

Operating Segment Results
The business is comprised of various operating segments as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These operating segments are determined on the basis of how the Company internally reports and evaluates financial information used to make operating decisions.
Effective as of March 1, 2025, the last day of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in the reportable segments. The Company has recast historical results to reflect this change.
Below is a description of each reportable segment.
The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck|FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands.
The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, sourcing, manufacture, and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The Global Retail segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores, along with the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand.
37
The Company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs. For descriptions of each segment, refer to Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The charts below present the relative mix of net sales and operating earnings across each of the Company's segments during the three and six month periods ended November 29, 2025. This is followed by a discussion of the Company's results, by reportable segment. The amounts presented in the charts are in millions and have been rounded.

For the three month comparative period, Net sales decreased 3.1%(*) on both a reported and organic basis compared to the prior year period due to:
•Decreased sales volumes within the segment, contributing approximately $37 million to the decrease; offset in part by
•Price increases, net of discounting positively impacted net sales by approximately $21 million. This includes the favorable impact of tariff-related pricing actions.
39
For the six month comparative period, Net sales increased 4.1%(*) on both a reported and an organic basis compared to the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by:
•Price increases, net of discounting positively impacted net sales by approximately $25 million. This includes the favorable impact of tariff-related pricing actions.
•Increased sales volumes within the segment, contributing approximately $17 million to the increase;
For the three month comparative period, operating earnings decreased $5.5 million, or 11.1%, over the prior year period due to:
•Decreased Gross margin of $4.1 million due to the decrease in sales noted above offset by an increase in gross margin percentage of 30 basis points. The increase in gross margin percentage was due primarily to:
◦Price increases, net of discounting resulted in a positive impact of approximately 130 basis points.
◦Favorable product mix which increased margin by 60 basis points. Offset in part by:
◦Loss of leverage on fixed costs due to lower sales volumes, which contributed approximately 80 basis points to gross margin decline.

◦Increased freight and product distribution costs increased margin by approximately 30 basis points.
•Increased Operating expenses of $1 million driven primarily by restructuring charges associated with facility consolidation initiatives and elevated compensation and benefit expenses.
For the six month comparative period, operating earnings increased $35.3 million, or 53.8%, over the prior year period due to:
•Increased Gross margin of $20.2 million due to the increase in sales discussed above and an increase in gross margin percentage of 50 basis points. The increase in gross margin percentage was due primarily to:
◦The impact of incremental list price increases, net of contract price discounting, that increased gross margin percentage by approximately 70 basis points.
◦Favorable leverage of fixed costs due to increased production volumes as well as favorable product mix which had a positive impact on margin of approximately 50 basis points.
◦Reduced freight and distribution charges positively impacted margin by 20 basis points. These changes were offset in part by:

•Decreased Operating expenses of $15.1 million. The following factors contributed to the change:
◦A reduction in acquisition-related integration charges, which totaled approximately $25 million. This benefit was partially offset by:
◦Increased variable selling costs, including sales-based commissions and royalty expenses of approximately $6 million.
◦Increase of $2 million driven primarily by restructuring charges associated with facility consolidation initiatives.
◦Increased compensation and benefits of approximately $2 million.

Cash Flows - Operating Activities
The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture, distribute, and market our products. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended November 29, 2025, totaled $74.0 million compared to $76.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cash inflow is due primarily to a net increase in working capital. Our working capital consists primarily of receivables from customers, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, and accrued other expenses. The following all affect these account balances:
•Fluctuations in inventory levels; and
•The timing of collection of our receivables; and
•Changes in accruals related to variable compensation.
Cash Flows - Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended November 29, 2025, was $60.3 million, as compared to $44.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures in the current year.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, there were outstanding commitments for capital purchases of $17.6 million. The Company plans to fund these commitments through a combination of cash on hand and cash flows from operations. The Company expects full-year capital purchases to be between $120 million and $130 million which will be primarily related to investments in the Company's facilities, (including manufacturing, showrooms, and retail stores) and equipment as well as investments associated with achieving the Company's sustainability goals. This compares to full-year capital spending of $107.6 million in fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2026 were $61.3 million compared to $44.9 million for the six months ended November 30, 2024.
Cash Flows - Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended November 29, 2025, was $28.6 million, as compared to $33.9 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cash used in the current year, compared to the prior year, was primarily due to:
•The Company repurchased 698,514 shares at a cost of $12.2 million in the current period as compared to 2,500,379 share repurchases totaling $66.9 million in the same period of the prior year.
•During the current period the Company entered into a three-year accounts receivable securitization facility. Net proceeds from the facility totaled $54.3 million in the current period. This was offset in part by:
•Net borrowings on the credit agreement of $14.2 million in the current period compared to net borrowings of $73.1 million in the same period of the prior year.
•The refinancing of Term Loan B resulted in a net cash outflow of $61.2 million in the current period. In the prior year, term loan debt was reduced by $18.1 million through scheduled principal payments.
•Deferred financing costs of $1.4 million were incurred in the current period in connection with the refinancing of Term Loan B.
Sources of Liquidity
The Company maintains an open market share repurchase program under our existing share repurchase authorization and may repurchase shares from time to time based on management’s evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had a well-positioned balance sheet and liquidity profile. The Company has access to liquidity through credit facilities as well as cash and cash equivalents. These sources have been summarized below. For additional information, refer to Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

44
Of the Cash and cash equivalents noted above at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had $173.2 million of Cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States.
The Company’s syndicated revolving line of credit, which matures in April 2030, provides the Company with up to $725 million in revolving variable interest borrowing capacity and allows the Company to borrow incremental amounts, at its option, subject to negotiated terms as outlined in the agreement. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at rates based on the prime rate, federal funds rate, SOFR or negotiated terms as outlined in the agreement.
As of November 29, 2025, the total debt outstanding related to borrowings under the syndicated revolving line of credit was $345.0 million with available borrowings on this facility of $367.9 million.
The Company intends to repatriate $137.3 million of undistributed foreign earnings all of which is held in cash in certain foreign jurisdictions with the remainder of undistributed earnings outside the U.S. recorded in working capital. The Company has recorded a $3.5 million deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding taxes on these future dividends received in the U.S. from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of the $137.3 million of undistributed foreign earnings was previously taxed under the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA). The Company intends to remain indefinitely reinvested in the remaining undistributed earnings outside the U.S. which is estimated to be approximately $382.9 million on November 29, 2025.
The Company believes cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and borrowing capacity will provide adequate liquidity to fund near term and foreseeable future business operations, capital needs, upcoming debt maturities, future dividends and share repurchases, subject to financing availability in the marketplace.
Contractual Obligations
Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will require cash payments in future periods. A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments as of May 31, 2025, was provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in such obligations since that date.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, has not changed materially. The nature of market risks from interest rates and commodity prices has not changed materially during the first six months of fiscal 2026.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company primarily manufactures its products in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Italy, India, Mexico, and Brazil. It also sources completed products and product components from outside the United States. The Company's completed products are sold in numerous countries around the world. Sales in foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those sales are transacted in currencies other than the Company's reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, production costs and profit margins related to these sales are affected by the currency exchange relationship between the
46
countries where the sales take place and the countries where the products are sourced or manufactured. These currency exchange relationships can also impact the Company's competitive positions within these markets.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts denominated in foreign currencies. The principal foreign currencies in which the Company conducts its business are the British pound sterling, Euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese renminbi, and the Danish krone. Changes in the fair value of such contracts are reported in earnings in the period the value of the contract changes. The net gain or loss upon settlement and the change in fair value of outstanding contracts is recorded as a component of Other (income) expense.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
