INTERFACE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Interface,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Interface, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them, unless the context requires otherwise.
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, as filed with the Commission.
The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 28, 2025, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
The nine-month period ended October 4, 2026 includes 40 weeks and the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 includes 39 weeks. The three-month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025 both include 13 weeks.
Risks and Uncertainties
Ongoing global economic challenges including but not limited to inflation, government-imposed tariffs, supply chain disruptions, disruptions in global energy markets, the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East, and slow market conditions in certain parts of the globe could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The Company considered these impacts and subsequent general uncertainties and volatility in the global economy on the assumptions and estimates used herein. These uncertainties could result in a future material adverse effect to the amounts reported within the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements if actual results differ from these estimates.
Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in its most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the first nine months of 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid. The Company elected to apply the gain contingency model to account for potential tariff refunds previously paid under the IEEPA. Under this model, a gain contingency is not recognized in the financial statements until the gain is realized or realizable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06 - “Intangibles--Goodwill and Other--Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”. This ASU amends the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing reference to prescriptive and sequential software development stages used to evaluate capitalizable costs. The ASU requires entities to consider whether significant uncertainties associated with development activities have been resolved prior to capitalization of software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. The new guidance in ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement Reporting--Comprehensive Income-- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. This ASU requires public entities to provide additional footnote disclosures to disaggregate the cost and expense line items presented in the income statement into specific categories including (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; and (d) intangible asset amortization. The ASU also requires qualitative disclosure of other relevant expense categories not separately disclosed, the total amount of selling expenses, and the definition of selling expenses in annual reporting periods. The new guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.
The Company includes all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding for basic EPS as these awards are considered participating securities. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock and are considered participating securities. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards during the period in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. As of October 4, 2026, there were no unvested restricted stock awards. Any unvested share-based awards considered non-participating securities (restricted share units and performance shares) are included in diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

(2) The Syndicated Credit Facility also includes a multicurrency revolving loan facility up to $250 million.
Syndicated Credit Facility
The Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility (the “Facility”) provides to the Company U.S. denominated and multicurrency term loans and provides to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving loan facility. Each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries guarantees the obligations of the Company under its Facility. The Facility matures December 3, 2030. At October 4, 2026, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $247.7 million under the revolving loan facility.
Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based and alternative currency loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable SOFR or alternative currency rate, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.
Fees for commercial letters of credit are computed as a percentage of the amount available to be drawn under such letters of credit. Fees for standby letters of credit are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin of the amount available to be drawn under such standby letters of credit, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments on the term loan borrowings, which are due on the last day of the calendar quarter.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Facility and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company determines that an operating segment exists if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and (iii) has discrete financial information. Additionally, accounting standards require the utilization of a “management approach” to report the financial results of operating segments, which is based on information used by the CODM to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The Company determined that it has two operating segments organized by geographical area – namely (a) Americas (“AMS”) and (b) Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment includes the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas.
Pursuant to the management approach discussed above, the Company’s CODM, our chief executive officer, evaluates performance at the AMS and EAAA operating segment levels and makes operating and resource allocation decisions based on segment adjusted operating income (“AOI”). The CODM uses AOI to evaluate segment operating results compared to expectations. AOI is also used by the CODM to develop variable compensation targets and make capital spend decisions. AOI excludes restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, and nora purchase accounting amortization. Intersegment revenues for the three and nine months ended October 4, 2026, were $43.1 million and $106.2 million, respectively, and intersegment revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, were $28.6 million and $92.4 million, respectively. Intersegment revenues are eliminated from net sales presented below since these amounts are not included in the information provided to the CODM.
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments – AMS and EAAA, as each operating segment meets the quantitative thresholds defined in the accounting guidance.
The following table outlines information by reportable segment including net sales, significant segment expenses, and AOI. The table also includes a reconciliation to income before taxes for the three and nine months ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) and records any changes affecting the estimated AETR in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.
During the nine months ended October 4, 2026, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of $38.4 million on pre-tax income of $152.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2 %, as compared to a total income tax provision of $18.1 million on pre-tax income of $109.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.5 % during the nine months ended September 28, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 4, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2025, was primarily due to statutory tax rate changes requiring the remeasurement and adjustment of deferred taxes as discussed below partially offset by an increase in deductions related to foreign-derived income.
In July 2025, Germany enacted tax legislation to gradually reduce the corporate income tax rate. The current income tax rate of 15 % is set to decrease by 1% annually beginning in 2028 reaching 10 % by 2032. As a result of this change to tax rates, deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured using the new rates applicable to the periods in which the underlying temporary differences are expected to reverse. The remeasurement of the Company’s German deferred tax positions and other deferred tax adjustments resulted in a favorable deferred income tax benefit of $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) published Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15 %. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) or announced plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2026, we expect to meet the Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting (“CbCR”) Safe Harbor rules for most jurisdictions and do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. We will continue to closely monitor ongoing developments and evaluate any potential impact on future periods.
In 2026, the OECD issued a Side-by-Side package (“SbS”) that simplifies Pillar Two, creates new safe harbors, fully exempts U.S. parent groups from two of the three top-up taxes, and extends the CbCR Safe Harbor through fiscal year 2027. In certain jurisdictions, local legislative action is needed to effectuate the SbS agreement and will be considered in our accounting estimate upon enactment.

For additional information see disclosures set forth in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. There have been no material changes since December 28, 2025.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure estimated fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under applicable accounting standards are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
•quoted prices for similar assets in active markets;
•quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets;
•inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and
•inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable data by correlation or other.
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, of certain financial instruments:
| October 4, 2026 | December 28, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Value | Fair Value (Level 1) | Fair Value (Level 2) | Carrying Value | Fair Value (Level 1) | Fair Value (Level 2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Borrowings under Syndicated Credit Facility(2) | — | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Carrying values are presented gross, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs and including amounts presented as current liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
(2) The carrying value of borrowings under the Facility approximates fair value as the Facility bears variable interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. The fair value of borrowings under the Facility is estimated using observable market rates.
The fair value of Company-owned life insurance is measured based on its readily determinable cash surrender value on a recurring basis.
Assets associated with the Company’s nonqualified savings plans are held in a rabbi trust and consist of investments in mutual funds and insurance contracts. The fair value of the mutual funds is derived from quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of the insurance contracts is based on observable inputs related to the performance measurement funds that shadow the deferral investment allocations made by participants in the nonqualified savings plans.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, under Part II, Item 7 of that Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during the quarter and nine months ended October 4, 2026, or as of, October 4, 2026, and the comparable periods of 2025, and to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed in that Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information since that time. These discussions should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information. The nine-month period ended October 4, 2026 includes 40 weeks and the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 includes 39 weeks. The three-month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025 both include 13 weeks.

Executive Overview
During the quarter ended October 4, 2026, we had consolidated net sales of $366.7 million, up 0.6% compared to $364.5 million in the third quarter last year as favorable prices were partially offset by lower sales volume and the deferral of certain retail market segment renovation projects into future periods. Consolidated operating income was $56.3 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $53.4 million in the third quarter last year, primarily due to higher gross profit margin mostly driven by favorable product mix partially offset by higher tariff costs. Consolidated net income for the quarter ended October 4, 2026, was $39.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $46.1 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the third quarter last year. Prior year net income was impacted by an income tax benefit related to certain deferred tax adjustments. See Note 12 entitled “Income Taxes” of Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
During the first nine months of 2026, we had consolidated net sales of $1,093.5 million, up 5.4% compared to $1,037.5 million in the first nine months of last year, primarily due to higher customer demand partially driven by an extra week in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025. Consolidated operating income was $163.6 million for the first nine months of 2026, compared to $128.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin driven by IEEPA tariff refunds as discussed below and favorable product mix. Consolidated net income for the nine months ended October 4, 2026, was $114.2 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, compared to $91.7 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
Impact of Macroeconomic Trends
Macroeconomic conditions including inflation, energy market volatility, interest rates, evolving trade policies and tariffs, supply chain challenges, financial pressures in the commercial office market, and geopolitical conflicts may increase our costs and impact the demand for our products, which may adversely affect our future financial performance. We continue to evaluate our cost structure and global manufacturing footprint to identify and activate opportunities to reduce costs and optimize operating efficiency.
In 2025, the U.S. government imposed a series of higher tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. As a result, the Company incurred higher tariff costs on rubber and luxury vinyl tile products imported into the U.S. in the second half of fiscal year 2025 and in the first nine months of 2026. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized approximately $15.6 million in refunds for tariffs previously paid under the IEEPA. These refunds were recognized as a reduction to cost of sales in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The Company also recorded approximately $0.5 million of interest income associated with these tariff refunds, presented as a reduction to interest expense, net in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. As of October 4, 2026, any outstanding requests for IEEPA tariff refunds are not material.

For the quarter ended October 4, 2026, consolidated net sales increased $2.2 million (0.6%) versus the comparable period in 2025, mostly due to higher average sales prices (approximately 1%) partially offset by lower sales volume. Currency fluctuations had no material impact on consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. On a market segment basis, the sales increase was primarily in the corporate office, education, and healthcare market segments, partially offset by lower sales in the retail market segment.
For the nine months ended October 4, 2026, consolidated net sales increased $56.0 million (5.4%) versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume (approximately 3%) partially driven by an extra week in the first nine months of 2026, higher average sales prices (approximately 1%), and favorable currency fluctuations of approximately $19.9 million (approximately 2%) from the strengthening of the Euro and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. On a market segment basis, the sales increase was primarily in the corporate office, healthcare, and education market segments.

Consolidated Cost of Sales
For the quarter ended October 4, 2026, consolidated cost of sales decreased $2.9 million (1.3%) compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower sales volume partially offset by higher tariff costs ($1.7 million). Currency translation had no material impact on consolidated cost of sales in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of sales decreased to 59.4% for the third quarter of 2026 versus 60.6% for the third quarter of 2025.
For the nine months ended October 4, 2026, consolidated cost of sales increased $5.0 million (0.8%) versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales partially offset by the impact of IEEPA tariff refunds. Currency translation had a negative impact on consolidated cost of sales for the first nine months of 2026 and partially increased our costs by approximately $13.0 million (2.1%) compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of sales decreased to 58.5% for the first nine months of 2026 versus 61.2% for the first nine months of 2025.
Consolidated Gross Profit
For the quarter ended October 4, 2026, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 40.6% compared with 39.4% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to favorable product mix and pricing (approximately 1%) partially offset by higher tariff costs.
For the nine months ended October 4, 2026, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 41.5% compared with 38.8% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to lower costs (approximately 1%) driven by IEEPA tariff refunds, higher sales volume and product mix (approximately 1%), and higher average sales prices (approximately 1%).

For the quarter ended October 4, 2026, consolidated SG&A expenses increased $2.2 million (2.4%) versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher employee labor and benefits costs of $3.3 million partially offset by lower variable compensation of $1.8 million. Currency translation had no material impact on consolidated SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 25.2% for the third quarter of 2026 and 24.8% for the third quarter of 2025.
For the nine months ended October 4, 2026, consolidated SG&A expenses increased $16.1 million (5.9%) versus the comparable period in 2025. Currency translation had a negative impact on consolidated SG&A expenses of approximately $4.1 million (approximately 2%) in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same period last year. SG&A expenses were higher for the first nine months of 2026 primarily due to (i) higher variable compensation of $9.0 million; (ii) higher employee labor and benefits costs of $5.7 million; (iii) higher advertising costs of $2.0 million mostly driven by a new product launch; and (iv) higher professional fees of $2.3 million. These increases were partially offset by lower severance costs of $2.4 million due to employee reduction initiatives recognized in the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 26.5% for the first nine months of 2026 versus 26.4% for the first nine months of 2025.
33
Interest Expense
During the quarter ended October 4, 2026, interest expense was $2.2 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings as our formerly outstanding senior notes were redeemed in December 2025. For the nine months ended October 4, 2026, interest expense was $7.3 million, a decrease of $5.8 million from the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings as discussed above.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 4, 2026, was 25.9% and 25.2%, respectively, compared to 4.8% and 16.5% for the same periods in 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 4, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to statutory tax rate changes requiring the remeasurement and adjustment of deferred taxes which resulted in a tax benefit in fiscal year 2025, partially offset by an increase in deductions related to foreign-derived income. See Note 12 entitled “Income Taxes” of Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

During the third quarter of 2026, net sales in AMS increased 0.3% versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher average sales prices partially offset by lower volume. On a market segment basis, the AMS sales increase was primarily in the education, corporate office, and healthcare market segments partially offset by a decrease in the retail market segment.
During the first nine months of 2026, net sales in AMS increased 3.9% versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher average blended sales prices on favorable price / mix. On a market segment basis, the AMS sales increase was primarily in the corporate office, healthcare, and education market segments.
AOI in AMS increased 1.9% during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher gross profit margin driven by higher average sales prices partially offset by higher tariff costs. As a percentage of net sales, AOI increased to 18.8% during the third quarter of 2026 compared to 18.5% in the same period last year.
AOI in AMS increased 15.5% during the first nine months of 2026 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin mostly driven by the impact of IEEPA tariff refunds and product mix.

During the third quarter of 2026, net sales in EAAA increased 1.0% versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable currency fluctuations of approximately $1.0 million (0.7%) from the strengthening of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. On a market segment basis, the EAAA sales increase was primarily in the public buildings market segment partially offset by decreases in transportation and education market segments.
During the first nine months of 2026, net sales in EAAA increased 7.8% versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable currency fluctuations of approximately $19.6 million (4.9%) from the strengthening of the Euro and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. On a market segment basis, the EAAA sales increase was primarily in the corporate office, public buildings, and education market segments.
AOI in EAAA increased 17.0% during the third quarter of 2026 versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales and higher gross profit margin driven by production efficiencies and favorable product mix. Currency fluctuations had no material impact on EAAA AOI for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, AOI increased to 10.9% during the third quarter of 2026 compared to 9.4% in the same period last year.
AOI in EAAA increased 47.3% during the first nine months of 2026 versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales and gross profit margin as discussed above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At October 4, 2026, the Company had $81.1 million in cash. At that date, the Company had $128.6 million in term loan borrowings, $1.7 million in revolving loan borrowings, and $0.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under our Facility. As of October 4, 2026, we had additional borrowing capacity of $247.7 million under the Facility. We anticipate that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our obligations for the next 12 months, and we expect to generate sufficient cash to meet our long-term obligations.
Balance Sheet
Accounts receivable, net, were $176.7 million at October 4, 2026, compared to $174.5 million at December 28, 2025. The increase of $2.3 million was primarily due to the impact of higher net sales as a result of increased customer demand during fiscal year 2026.
Inventories, net, were $305.4 million at October 4, 2026, compared to $275.0 million at December 28, 2025. The increase of $30.4 million was primarily due to higher finished goods inventory driven by increased production volumes and higher customer demand.
Analysis of Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025, respectively:
| Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||
| October 4, 2026 | September 28, 2025 | ||||||||||
| (in thousands) | |||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in): | |||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 138,187 | $ | 118,596 | |||||||
| Investing activities | (31,607) | (25,477) | |||||||||
| Financing activities | (94,729) | (13,995) | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (2,097) | 9,005 | |||||||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | 9,754 | 88,129 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 71,323 | 99,226 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $ | 81,077 | $ | 187,355 | |||||||
Cash provided by operating activities was $138.2 million for the nine months ended October 4, 2026, which represents an increase of $19.6 million from the prior year comparable period, primarily attributable to higher net income for the nine months ended October 4, 2026, partially offset by a higher use of cash related to inventory build as discussed above.
Cash used in investing activities was $31.6 million for the nine months ended October 4, 2026, which represents an increase of $6.1 million from the prior year comparable period, primarily attributable to a continued capital investment in manufacturing automation and robotics solutions during the first nine months of 2026.
Cash used in financing activities was $94.7 million for the nine months ended October 4, 2026, which represents an increase of $80.7 million from the prior year comparable period. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher repayments of borrowings under the Facility, including a prepayment of $40.6 million on the outstanding term loan borrowings. The increase was additionally driven by higher repurchases of common stock during the first nine months of 2026 compared to the prior year.
Share Repurchases
In May 2022, the Company adopted a share repurchase program in which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program has no specific expiration date. During the nine months ended October 4, 2026, the Company repurchased 771,125 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $26.90 per share pursuant to this program.
36
Outlook
Based on our third quarter and year to date 2026 results, we anticipate revenue growth for fiscal year 2026 compared to the prior year comparable period. However, during the third quarter of 2026, we experienced softer conditions in EAAA, particularly in Europe, which contributed to lower year over year orders received for that area, which may negatively impact future net sales. We also anticipate that our fourth quarter 2026 will be impacted by higher input costs amid increased global macroeconomic uncertainty.
Cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and other sources of liquidity are expected to be available and sufficient to meet foreseeable cash requirements. However, the Company’s cash flows from operations can be affected by numerous factors including raw material availability and cost, and demand for our products.
Backlog
As of October 19, 2026, the consolidated backlog of unshipped orders was approximately $256.7 million. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, backlog was approximately $222.8 million as of February 2, 2026. Historically, backlog is subject to significant fluctuations due to the timing of orders for individual large projects. Disruptions in supply and distribution chains or delays in construction projects and flooring installations worldwide have caused, and may continue to cause, fluctuations in our backlog.
37

•economic, political, regulatory and other uncertainties associated with our substantial international operations, including recent softer conditions in our European business and the potential for continued sales deterioration in that market;
•risks related to our backlog, which historically has been subject to significant fluctuations due to the timing of orders for individual large projects, disruptions in supply and distribution chains or delays in construction projects and flooring installations worldwide, and which may not be fully realized into revenue;
•large increases in the cost of our raw materials, energy, shipping costs, duties or tariffs that we are unable to offset or pass through to our customers;
•the termination or interruption of our arrangements with our primary suppliers of synthetic fiber, luxury vinyl tile or other key raw materials;

38
•litigation and claims; and
•other factors set forth under the title “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, as the same may be amended or supplemented in any subsequent Quarter Reports on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The discussion below in this Item 3 is based upon the more detailed discussions of our market risk and related matters included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, under Part II, Item 7A of that Form 10-K. The discussion here focuses on the nine months ended October 4, 2026, and any material changes from (or other important intervening developments since the time of) the information discussed in that Form 10-K. This discussion should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.
Sensitivity Analysis
For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the impact that market risk may have on the fair values of our market sensitive instruments. To perform sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values associated with the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments.
Because the debt outstanding under our Facility has variable interest rates based on an underlying prime lending rate, SOFR, or other benchmark rate, we do not believe changes in interest rates would have any significant impact on the fair value of that debt instrument. Changes in the underlying prime lending rate, SOFR, or other benchmark rate would, however, impact the amount of our interest expense. For a discussion of these hypothetical impacts on our interest expense, please see the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2025.
As of October 4, 2026, a 10% decrease or increase in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would result in a respective decrease or increase in the net fair value of our financial instruments of $10.7 million. As the impact of offsetting changes in the fair market value of our net foreign investments is not included in the sensitivity model, these results are not indicative of our actual exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
40
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Act.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures, however, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on the evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
