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 29, 2024, 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 29, 2024, 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 three-month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 both include 13 weeks.
Risks and Uncertainties
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications to prior year information have been made in the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. The previously reported line item “deferred income taxes and other” was separated into two line items in the current period presentation of the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows to provide additional information. These reclassifications had no effect on cash provided by operating activities as previously reported.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement Reporting - Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation (Topic 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 to its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company generates revenue from sales of modular carpet, resilient flooring, rubber flooring, and other flooring-related material, and from the installation of carpet and other flooring-related material. A summary of these revenue streams, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is as follows:

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 in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. 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:

(1) Including income attributable to participating securities, which was not material for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and was $0.2
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, there were no securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS that would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 1,049,405 non-participating securities (restricted share units and performance shares) were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as these securities would have been antidilutive for the period.

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 credit 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 based (“SOFR”) and alternative currency loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable SOFR rate 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. As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of 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.
Senior Notes due 2028
The 5.50 % Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) bear an interest rate at 5.50 % per annum and mature on December 1, 2028. Interest is paid semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Facility.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes 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 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: nora purchase accounting amortization; restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, and the impact of a cyber event. Intersegment revenues for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $28.0 million and $16.8 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 months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

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 three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of $4.1 million on pre-tax income of $17.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.0 %, as compared to a total income tax provision of $4.8 million on pre-tax income of $19.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4 % during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in tax benefits related to share-based compensation. This favorable change was partially offset by an unfavorable change related to the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance.
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 either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2025, we expect to meet the Transitional Country-by-Country (CbCR) Safe Harbor rules for most if not all 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 the first three months of 2025, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.3 million. As of March 30, 2025, the Company had accrued approximately $5.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s deferred tax asset as of March 30, 2025 reflects a reduction for $2.6 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. See disclosure under the heading “Lawsuit by Former CEO in Connection with Termination” set forth in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. There have been no material changes since December 29, 2024.

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 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:
| March 30, 2025 | December 29, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Value | Fair Value (Level 1) | Fair Value (Level 2) | Carrying Value | Fair Value (Level 1) | Fair Value (Level 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 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.
(3) Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Notes, recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets, were $2.6 million and $2.8 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Fair value of the Senior Notes is derived using quoted prices for similar instruments.
The fair value of Company-owned life insurance is measured on a 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 29, 2024, under Part II, Item 7 of that Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during the quarter ended March 30, 2025, or as of, March 30, 2025, and the comparable periods of 2024, 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 three-month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 both include 13 weeks.
Forward-Looking Statements

26
Executive Overview
During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, we had consolidated net sales of $297.4 million, up 2.6% compared to $289.7 million in the first quarter last year, primarily due to higher sales volume — particularly in the education, healthcare, and retail market segments. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales during the first quarter of 2025, as discussed below. Consolidated operating income was $23.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $24.4 million in the first quarter last year, primarily due to lower gross profit margin as a result of higher manufacturing costs in EAAA and higher freight costs, partially offset by higher pricing. Consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 30, 2025, was $13.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income of $14.2 million or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year.
Impact of Macroeconomic Trends
Disruptions in economic markets due to the potential impact of government-imposed tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, fluctuating freight costs, supply chain challenges and disruptions, significant pressures in the commercial office market globally, inflation, slow market conditions in certain parts of the globe, the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, all pose challenges which may adversely affect our future performance. We plan to continue evaluating our cost structure and global manufacturing footprint to identify and activate opportunities to decrease costs and optimize our global cost structure.

| Consolidated net sales | $ | 297,413 | $ | 289,743 | 2.6 | % | |||||||||||
For the quarter ended March 30, 2025, consolidated net sales increased $7.7 million (2.6%) versus the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to higher sales volumes (approximately 3%). Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on net sales of approximately $4.3 million (1.5%) for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the weakening of the Euro, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. On a market segment basis, the sales increase was primarily in the education, retail, and healthcare market segments partially offset by lower sales in the corporate office market segment.
Consolidated Cost and Expenses
The following table presents our consolidated cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2025, and March 31, 2024:

Consolidated Cost of Sales
For the quarter ended March 30, 2025, consolidated cost of sales increased $7.1 million (4.0%) compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher sales and higher manufacturing and freight costs due to inflation. Currency fluctuations had a positive impact on consolidated cost of sales for the first quarter of 2025, and partially reduced our costs by approximately $2.9 million (1.6%) compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of sales increased to 62.7% for the first quarter of 2025 versus 61.9% for the first quarter of 2024.
28
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses
For the quarter ended March 30, 2025, consolidated SG&A expenses increased $1.8 million (2.1%) versus the comparable period in 2024. Currency translation had no material impact on consolidated SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. SG&A expenses were higher for the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher commissions as a result of higher sales compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 29.5% for the first quarter of 2025 versus 29.7% for the first quarter of 2024.
Consolidated Gross Profit
For the quarter ended March 30, 2025, consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 37.3% compared with 38.1% in the same period last year. The decrease in consolidated gross profit percentage was primarily due to higher costs (approximately 1%) driven by higher manufacturing costs in EAAA and higher freight costs, partially offset by higher pricing (approximately 0.4%).
Interest Expense
During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, interest expense was $4.4 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to lower outstanding term loan borrowings under the Facility.

During the first quarter of 2025, net sales in AMS increased 5.9% versus the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to higher sales volumes. On a market segment basis, the AMS sales increase was primarily in the education, retail, and healthcare market segments partially offset by a decrease in the corporate office market segment.
AOI in AMS increased 9.9% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher sales. As a percentage of net sales, AOI increased to 11.0% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 10.6% in the same period last year.
EAAA Segment – Net Sales and AOI

During the first quarter of 2025, net sales in EAAA decreased 2.0% versus the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations of approximately $3.6 million (3.0%) from the weakening of the Euro and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. On a market segment basis, the EAAA sales decrease was most significant in the corporate office market segment.
AOI in EAAA decreased 24.9% during the first quarter of 2025 versus the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to lower sales and lower gross profit margin as a result of higher manufacturing costs and higher freight costs. As a percentage of net sales, AOI decreased to 4.8% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to 6.2% in the same period last year.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At March 30, 2025, the Company had $97.8 million in cash. At that date, the Company had $5.5 million in term loan borrowings, no revolving loan borrowings, and $0.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under our Facility, and we had $300.0 million of Senior Notes outstanding. As of March 30, 2025, we had additional borrowing capacity of $299.5 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.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under its Facility. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries and certain non-material domestic subsidiaries are considered non-guarantors. Net sales for the non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $129 million and $133 million for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Total indebtedness of the non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $105 million and $102 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Accounts receivable, net, were $162.8 million at March 30, 2025, compared to $171.1 million at December 29, 2024. The decrease of $8.3 million was primarily due to customer collections in the first quarter of 2025.
Inventories, net, were $281.7 million at March 30, 2025, compared to $260.6 million at December 29, 2024. The increase of $21.1 million was primarily due to finished goods inventory build attributable to expected higher customer demand in the remainder of 2025.
Analysis of Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
| March 30, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | ||||||||||

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $ | 97,757 | $ | 89,774 | |||||||
31
Cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, which represents a decrease of $0.9 million from the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital during the first three months of 2025 compared with the first three months of 2024.
Cash used in investing activities was $7.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, which represents an increase of $5.5 million from the prior year comparable period, primarily attributable to a greater capital investment in manufacturing automation and robotics solutions during the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Cash used in financing activities was $8.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, which represents a decrease of $21.1 million from the prior year comparable period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings under the credit facility resulting in lower repayments during the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Outlook
We anticipate a strong second quarter amid increased global macro-economic uncertainty. We anticipate revenue growth in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared with the first quarter of 2025. We expect that tariffs will impact our results during the third quarter of 2025, and we expect to offset this impact through incremental pricing and productivity initiatives.
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 April 20, 2025, the consolidated backlog of unshipped orders was approximately $255.4 million. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, backlog was approximately $223.4 million as of February 2, 2025. Disruptions in supply and distribution chains have resulted in delays of construction projects and flooring installations in many regions worldwide, which also have caused, and may continue to cause, fluctuations in our backlog.
32
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 29, 2024, under Part II, Item 7A of that Form 10-K. The discussion here focuses on the three months ended March 30, 2025, 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 29, 2024.
As of March 30, 2025, based on a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt would be impacted by a net decrease of $9.4 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase in the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt of $8.2 million.
As of March 30, 2025, 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 $13.0 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.
33
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-14(c) 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.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, as well as the following new risk factor which updates the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report:
Changes in foreign trade policies and tariffs may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Recent changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including the implementation of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and other trade barriers, have created significant uncertainty and volatility in the global markets. The U.S. government has implemented substantial changes to trade policies, including increased tariffs on imports from various countries. These actions have affected and may continue to affect the cost of certain products we import into the U.S. They may also increase the risk of overall inflation, slower macro-economic activity, and they may temporarily delay or permanently stall when our customers decide to purchase our products.
We are particularly vulnerable to these trade policy changes as we source our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products from a third-party manufacturer in South Korea and manufacture all our rubber flooring in Germany. The import of these goods into the U.S. represents our primary exposure to recently implemented and potential future tariffs. Increased tariffs on these imports could significantly increase our cost of goods sold, potentially requiring us to raise prices, which could decrease customer demand for our products, or reduce our profit margins if we are unable to fully pass these increased costs to our customers.
Various countries have announced or implemented retaliatory measures in response to U.S. trade actions, which could further complicate our international operations and supply chain. For example, the carpet tile we sell in Canada typically is manufactured at our plant in the U.S., and therefore may be subject to tariffs implemented by Canada on imports from the U.S. The current situation remains dynamic, and it is unknown if the U.S. and its trade partners will reach agreements to pause or eliminate currently enacted, pending, and threatened tariffs.
These trade policy changes and resulting uncertainty may lead to:
•Increased costs for our imported LVT and rubber flooring products
•Supply chain disruptions or delays in product availability
•Reduced demand for our products
•Increased competitive and consumer demand pressures, particularly if we increase prices to offset higher costs
•Competitive disadvantages if our competitors face different tariff structures
•Currency exchange rate fluctuations that further impact our costs and margins
While we are assessing options and taking actions to mitigate potential impacts, our ability to do so may be limited by operational and supply chain constraints, especially in the short term. The ultimate effect of these tariffs will depend on their magnitude, duration, how they affect consumer sentiment and behavior, how they affect the overall global macro environment, as well as which countries are implicated. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
