Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 3, 2024, Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2024 (the “Earnings Release”). A copy of the Earnings Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference. The information set forth in this Item 2.02, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Earnings Release

The Earnings Release includes, as additional information for investors, the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income ("AOI"), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, currency neutral sales and currency neutral sales growth, net debt, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). These measures are not in accordance with financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, and AOI exclude nora purchase accounting amortization, the cyber event impact, and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net. Adjusted EPS and adjusted net income also exclude the property casualty loss impact and the loss on the discontinuance of interest rate swaps. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin exclude nora purchase accounting amortization. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude the cyber event impact and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net.

Currency neutral sales and currency neutral sales growth exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Net debt is total debt less cash on hand. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, cyber event impact, property casualty loss impact, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, nora purchase accounting amortization, and the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation.

Because the Company engages in acquisitions only episodically, and not as an everyday matter, the Company believes presenting certain measures excluding the effects of acquisitions facilitates focus on normal ongoing operations. The Company also believes presenting sales information absent the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations facilitates comparison of the Company’s operational performance between periods.

The Company generally believes reporting its adjusted results helps investors’ understanding of historical operating trends, because it facilitates comparison of current and prior periods during which one or more unique events may have occurred. The Company also believes that adjusted results provide supplemental information for comparisons to other companies which may not have experienced the same events underlying the adjustments. Furthermore, the Company uses adjusted results internally as supplemental information to evaluate its own performance, for planning purposes and in connection with its compensation programs.

Management of Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) has updated the slide presentation which may be used in whole or in part in meetings with and presentations to investors and potential investors. A copy of the slide presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Interface Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
One Interface strategy yielding strong results; Company increasing full fiscal year 2024 net sales guidance

ATLANTA – May 3, 2024 – Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: TILE), a worldwide commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First quarter highlights:

Net sales totaled $289.7 million, down 2% year-over-year.
Gross profit margin increased to 38.1%, up 569 basis points year-over-year.
GAAP earnings per share of $0.24; Adjusted earnings per share of $0.24.
Currency neutral orders up 5.1% year-over-year.

"We delivered a strong start to the year. First quarter net sales came in at the high end of our guidance with notable strength in the Americas business. Our One Interface strategy is yielding tangible results including reduced complexity, continuous improvement of pricing and mix management, and synergies from the globalization of our core functions. These improvements contributed to significant profitability expansion in the first quarter,” commented Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface.

“We recently rolled out a fresh and exciting new brand attitude, Made for More™, which showcases the best of Interface and encompasses our belief that our flooring products are made with purpose and without compromise. We are excited about One Interface’s collaborative focus, and we remain committed to positioning Interface for long-term success and increasing value for our shareholders,” concluded Hurd.

“Our selling teams did a great job driving favorable mix and price, and we further benefited from input cost deflation, which drove significant gross profit margin expansion in the first quarter. Effective commercial execution also led to 5.1% order growth year-over-year resulting in strong momentum as we move into the second quarter,” added Bruce Hausmann, CFO of Interface.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Sales: First quarter net sales were $289.7 million, down 2.0% versus $295.8 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted gross profit margin was 38.6%, an increase of 528 basis points from adjusted gross profit margin for the prior year period due primarily to input cost deflation, higher selling prices and favorable product mix.

Outlook

As Interface looks at 2024, while the macro environment remains dynamic, the Company continues to be encouraged by improving trends. Interface is increasing its full fiscal year net sales estimate and continues to expect a year-over-year increase in gross profit margins this fiscal year. A portion of the anticipated increase in net sales is expected to come from the retail segment, which generally has lower gross profit margins compared to Interface’s more premium product offerings. This sequential change in the Company’s anticipated overall product mix is reflected in the updated guidance below.

2








With that backdrop in mind, Interface has updated its full fiscal year 2024 guidance and is anticipating the following:

For the second quarter of 2024:
Net sales of $335 million to $345 million.
Adjusted gross profit margin of approximately 34.5%.
Adjusted SG&A expenses of approximately $86 million.
Adjusted Interest & Other expenses of approximately $8 million.
Fully diluted weighted average share count of approximately 58.8 million shares.

For the full fiscal year 2024:
Net sales of $1.29 billion to $1.31 billion.
Adjusted gross profit margin of 35.5% to 36.0%.
Adjusted SG&A expenses that are approximately 26.0% of net sales.
Adjusted Interest & Other expenses of approximately $30 million.
An adjusted effective tax rate for the full year of approximately 28%.
Capital expenditures of approximately $42 million.

The Company believes that the above non-GAAP performance measures, which management uses in managing and evaluating the Company’s business, may provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful basis for comparing the Company’s current results and results in a prior period, as these measures reflect factors that are unique to one period relative to the comparable period. However, these non‑GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Tax effects identified above (when applicable) are calculated using the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charge or income occurred.
