Most of our marketing partnerships are on a regional basis.
Reportable Segments
We operate on a global basis within our Americas and International reportable segments. Additional information about our reportable segments, including financial information about geographic areas and specific product categories, is contained in Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Note 4 and Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
Americas Segment
Our Americas segment serves customers in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture, interior architectural, textile and surface imaging products that are marketed to corporate, government, education, healthcare and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, AMQ, Coalesse, Designtex, HALCON, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.
We serve Americas customers mainly through approximately 390 Steelcase independent and company-owned dealer locations and other non-aligned dealers, and we also sell directly to end-use customers. Our end-use customers tend to be larger multinational, regional or local companies and are distributed across a broad range of industries, including education, financial services, flexible real estate, government, healthcare, information technology, insurance, manufacturing and retail. In the Americas segment, no industry individually represented more than 18% of the segment's revenue in 2025.
Each of our dealers maintains its own sales force which is complemented by our sales representatives who work closely with our dealers throughout the selling process. The largest independent Steelcase dealer in the Americas accounted for approximately 6% of the segment’s revenue in 2025, and the five largest independent Steelcase dealers collectively accounted for approximately 15% of the segment’s revenue in 2025.
The Americas office furniture industry is highly competitive, with a number of competitors offering similar categories of products. The industry competes on a combination of insight, product performance, design, price, service and relationships with customers, architects and designers. Our most significant competitors in the U.S. are MillerKnoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc. and HNI Corporation.
International Segment
Our International segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and other countries in Southeast Asia ("Asia Pacific"), with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and interior architectural products that are marketed to corporate, government, education and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.

Table of Contents
We serve International customers mainly through approximately 400 independent and company-owned Steelcase dealer locations and other non-aligned dealers, and we also sell directly to end-use customers. The largest independent Steelcase dealer in the International segment accounted for approximately 4% of the segment’s revenue in 2025. The five largest Steelcase independent dealers collectively accounted for approximately 10% of the segment’s revenue in 2025. Our end-use customers tend to be larger multinational, regional or local companies spread across a broad range of industries and vertical markets, including education, financial services, flexible real estate, government, healthcare and information technology.
The office furniture markets in EMEA and Asia Pacific are highly competitive and fragmented. We compete with many local and regional manufacturers in many different markets. In several cases, these local competitors focus on specific product categories.
Joint Ventures and Other Equity Investments
We occasionally enter into joint ventures and other equity investments to expand or maintain our geographic presence, support our distribution network or invest in new business ventures, complementary products or services. As of February 28, 2025, our investments in these unconsolidated joint ventures and other equity investments totaled $53.3. Our share of the earnings from joint ventures and other equity investments is recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Customer and Dealer Concentrations
Our largest customer accounted for approximately 2% of our consolidated revenue in 2025, and our five largest customers collectively accounted for approximately 6% of our consolidated revenue. However, these percentages do not include revenue from various U.S. federal government agencies. In 2025, our sales to U.S. federal government agencies represented approximately 3% of our consolidated revenue. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single or small number of end-use customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
No single independent Steelcase dealer accounted for more than 4% of our consolidated revenue in 2025. The five largest independent Steelcase dealers collectively accounted for approximately 11% of our consolidated revenue in 2025. We do not believe our business is dependent on any single independent dealer, the loss of which would have a sustained material adverse effect on our business.
Manufacturing and Logistics
We have manufacturing and distribution operations throughout North America (in the U.S. and Mexico), Europe (in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain and the U.K.) and in Asia (in China, India and Malaysia). Our global manufacturing and distribution operations are largely centralized under a single organization to serve our customers’ needs across multiple brands and geographies.
Our manufacturing model is predominately make-to-order with standard lead times that typically range from four to six weeks. We manufacture our products using lean manufacturing principles, including continuous one-piece flow and platformed processes and products, which allow us to achieve efficiencies and cost savings and minimize the amount of inventory on hand. We largely purchase direct materials and components from a global network of integrated suppliers as needed to meet demand. We also purchase finished goods manufactured by third parties predominately on a make-to-order basis.
We focus on enhancing the efficiency of our manufacturing operations, and we also seek to reduce costs through our global sourcing effort. We leverage our global presence and footprint to capture raw material and component cost savings available through lower cost suppliers around the globe. We focus on our reliability and business continuity, which may, at times, require localizing supply chains and enhancing capabilities to deliver complete and on-time orders to our customers. We also incorporate innovation, sustainability and other environmental, social and governance factors when making supplier selection decisions.
Our physical distribution system utilizes commercial transport, dedicated fleet and company-owned delivery services. We utilize a network of regional distribution centers in the Americas and EMEA to minimize freight and delivery costs and improve service to our dealers and customers.

Materials
Approximately 57% of our cost of sales in 2025 related to raw materials, components and finished goods purchased from a significant number of suppliers around the world. The raw materials that we purchase and that are used in the manufacture of the components and finished goods that we purchase include steel, petroleum-based products (including plastics and foam), aluminum, other metals, wood and particleboard. Our global supply chain team continually evaluates current market conditions, the financial viability of our suppliers and available supply options on the basis of quality, reliability of supply and cost.
Research, Design and Development
Our extensive global research – a combination of user observations, feedback sessions and sophisticated analyses – has helped us develop social, spatial and informational insights into work effectiveness. We maintain collaborative relationships with external world-class innovators, including leading universities, think tanks and knowledge leaders, to expand and deepen our understanding of how people work.
Understanding patterns of work enables us to identify and anticipate user needs across the globe. Our design teams explore and develop prototypical solutions to address these needs, which vary from furniture and interior architectural solutions to single products or enhancements to existing products and across different vertical market applications such as education and healthcare. Organizationally, global design leadership directs project work, which is distributed to design studios around the world and sometimes involves external design services.
Our marketing team evaluates product concepts using several criteria, including financial return metrics, and chooses which products will be developed and launched. Designers then work closely with engineers and suppliers to co-develop products and processes that incorporate innovative user features with efficient manufacturing practices. Products are tested for performance, quality and compliance with applicable local standards and regulations.
We incurred $50.4, $48.2 and $44.4 in research, design and development expenses in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, we sometimes pay royalties to external designers of our products as the products are sold, and these costs are not included in research and development expenses.
Intellectual Property
We generate and hold a significant number of patents in a number of countries in connection with the operation of our business. We also hold a number of trademarks that are very important to our identity and recognition in the marketplace. We do not believe that any material part of our business is dependent on the continued availability of any one or all of our patents or trademarks or that our business would be materially adversely affected by the loss of any of such, except the “Steelcase,” "AMQ," “Coalesse,” "Designtex," "HALCON," “Orangebox,” and “Smith System” trademarks.
We occasionally enter into license agreements under which we pay a royalty to third parties for the use of patented products, designs or process technology, none of which are considered material to our business.
Human Capital Resources
We aspire to be a people-centered, purpose-driven company where our people can build relationships and communities where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. At Steelcase, we believe that together we will help protect the planet through our environmental commitments, help our people thrive and sustain a culture of trust and integrity to drive towards ethical business outcomes. The following core values guide our commitments and actions:
•act with integrity,
•tell the truth,
•keep commitments,
•treat people with dignity and respect,
•promote positive relationships,
•protect the environment, and
•excel.

This philosophy is achieved through competitive pay and benefits and a variety of other offerings such as career development and well-being initiatives. We review pay ranges annually and adjust pay as needed to ensure external competitiveness and internal equity. We also share profits with both salaried and hourly employees through our annual bonus programs. We believe our philosophy helps promote a culture where our employees feel they are supported and that their contributions are valued.
Employees
As of February 28, 2025, we had approximately 11,300 employees, of which approximately 6,600 worked in manufacturing and distribution and approximately 250 were part-time. Additionally, we had approximately 1,100 temporary workers who primarily worked in manufacturing. Approximately 30 employees in the U.S. were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Outside the U.S., approximately 3,600 employees were represented by unions or workers' councils that operate to promote the interests of workers.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment (“Environmental Laws”). We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with all Environmental Laws. We do not believe existing Environmental Laws have had or will have any material effects upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Under certain Environmental Laws, we could be held liable, without regard to fault, for the costs of remediation associated with our existing or historical operations. We could also be held responsible for third-party property and personal injury claims or for violations of Environmental Laws relating to contamination. We are a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings relating to several contaminated properties being investigated and remediated under Environmental Laws, including as a potentially responsible party in several Superfund site cleanups. Based on our information regarding the nature and volume of wastes allegedly disposed of or released at these properties, the total estimated cleanup costs and other financially viable potentially responsible parties, we do not believe the costs to us associated with these properties will be material, either individually or in the aggregate. We have established reserves that we believe are adequate to cover our anticipated remediation costs. However, certain events could cause our actual costs to vary from the established reserves. These events include, but are not limited to: a change in governmental regulations or cleanup standards or requirements; undiscovered information regarding the nature and volume of wastes allegedly disposed of or released at these properties; the loss of other potentially responsible parties that are financially capable of contributing toward cleanup costs; and other factors increasing the cost of remediation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors:
The following risk factors and other information included in this Report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not know about currently, or that we currently believe are not material, may also adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Macroeconomic and Workplace Trends Risk Factors
Failure to respond to changes in workplace trends and the competitive landscape may adversely affect our revenue and profits.
Advances in technology, changing workforce demographics, remote work, shifts in work styles and behaviors and the globalization of business have been changing the world of work and impacting the types and amounts of workplace products and services purchased by our customers. In recent years, these trends have resulted in changes such as:
•a decrease in overall demand for office furniture from corporate customers,
•an increase in demand for products that support individual privacy and focused work,
•an increase in demand for products that facilitate distributed collaboration, including those that enhance remote work experiences,
•an increase in demand for ancillary furniture for social and collaborative spaces in office settings,
•an increased frequency in refreshment of workplace settings, and
•customer interest in a broader range of price points, quality and warranty coverage.
These trends have also had an impact on our competitive landscape, including (1) the emergence of smaller office furniture competitors, (2) increased competition from residential furniture and technology companies, (3) diversification by competitors into other industries, (4) consolidation in our industry and (5) an increase in customers outsourcing workplace management to real estate management service firms and flexible real estate providers.
We compete on a variety of factors, including: brand recognition and reputation; insights from our research; the breadth of our global reach and product portfolio; product design and features; price, lead time, delivery and service; product quality; strength of our dealer network and other distributors; relationships with customers and key influencers, such as architects, designers and real estate managers; and our commitments to sustainable product design and reducing our environmental impact. Our ability to compete on these factors also has an impact on our relationships with our dealers and the percentage of their business they source from us. If we are unsuccessful in continuing to develop and offer a wide variety of solutions which respond to changes in workplace trends, if we do not maintain competitive lead times, delivery and service levels and product quality, or if we or our dealers are unsuccessful in competing with existing competitors and new competitive offerings which arise from outside our industry, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our industry is influenced by cyclical macroeconomic factors and future downturns may adversely affect our revenue and profits.
Our revenue is generated predominantly from the office furniture industry, and demand for office furniture is influenced by macroeconomic factors, such as corporate profits, non-residential fixed investment, white-collar employment and commercial office construction and vacancy rates, which can be difficult to predict. The office furniture industry has experienced periodic major declines in demand, driven by economic downturns in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. During these downturns, our revenue declined substantially and our profitability was significantly reduced. Our revenues and profitability can be, and currently are being, impacted by adverse changes in these macroeconomic factors. Adaptations of our business to changing macroeconomic factors can result in material restructuring costs, and if we are unsuccessful in making such adaptations, our operating results may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents
We may not be able to successfully develop, implement and manage our growth strategies.
Our longer-term success depends on our ability to successfully develop, implement and manage our growth strategies, which include:
•expanding our business in areas such as education, healthcare and small to midsize businesses,
•enhancing digital tools that improve customer experience,
•developing innovative solutions to create spaces that foster productivity and collaboration, and
•extending our competitive advantage with our dealer partnerships.
If these strategies to increase our revenues are not sufficient, or if we do not execute these strategies successfully, our global market share and profitability may be adversely affected.
Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Distribution Risk Factors
Changes in tariffs, global trade agreements or government procurement can adversely affect our business.
We manufacture most of our products on a regional basis, and as a result, we often export products from where they are manufactured to where they are sold within the region. We also source raw materials, components and finished goods from a global network of suppliers. In particular in 2025, approximately 38% of the products we sold to customers in the U.S., including U.S. government agencies, were manufactured outside of the U.S., predominantly by our subsidiaries in Mexico, which operate as maquiladoras. Changes in tariffs or trade agreements have impacted, and may in the future impact, the cost of importing our products into the countries where they are sold and the cost of raw materials and components sourced from other countries, which in turn can adversely impact our gross margins and our price competitiveness. In addition, changes in U.S. government procurement rules requiring a certain amount of domestic content in finished goods, or requiring finished goods to be produced in the U.S., could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We can be adversely affected by changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs.
We and our suppliers purchase raw materials (including steel, plastics, foam, aluminum, other metals, wood and particleboard) from a significant number of sources globally. These raw materials are not rare or unique to our industry. The costs of these commodities, as well as fuel, freight, energy, labor and other input costs can fluctuate due to changes in global, regional or local supply and demand, larger currency movements and changes in tariffs and trade barriers, which can also cause supply interruptions.
In the short-term, significant increases in raw material, commodity and other input costs can be very difficult to offset with price increases because of existing contractual commitments with our customers, and it is difficult to find effective financial instruments to hedge against such changes. As a result, our gross margins can be adversely affected in the short-term by significant increases in these costs. If we are not successful in passing along higher raw material, commodity and other input costs to our customers over the longer-term, because of competitive pressures, our profitability could be negatively impacted.
We are reliant on a global network of suppliers that exposes us to certain risks outside of our control.
We are reliant on the timely flow of raw materials, components and finished goods from a global network of third-party suppliers. The flow of such materials, components and goods is affected by:
•fluctuations in the availability and quality of raw materials,
•disruptions caused by labor shortages and labor activities,
•ocean freight constraints and port congestion, domestic transportation and logistical challenges,
•the financial solvency of our suppliers and their supply chains, and
•damage or loss of production from accidents, natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, security concerns (including terrorist activity, armed conflict and civil or military unrest), trade embargoes, changes in tariffs, systems and equipment failures or disruptions, cyberattacks or security breaches and other causes.

Table of Contents
Disruptions or fluctuations in the supply and delivery of raw materials, components and finished goods or deficiencies in our ability to manage our global network of suppliers can have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
The lack of redundant capabilities among our regional manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our business.
Most of our products are currently produced in only one location in each of the three geographic regions in which we operate (the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific), certain components are manufactured in only one location globally and our manufacturing model is predominately make-to-order. As a result, any issue which impacts the production capabilities of one of our manufacturing locations, such as natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, disruptions in the supply of materials or components, systems and equipment failures or disruptions caused by labor activities, could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We rely largely on a network of independent dealers to market, deliver and install our products, and disruptions and increasing consolidations within our dealer network could adversely affect our business.
Our business is dependent on our ability to manage our relationships with our independent dealers. From time to time, we or a dealer may choose to terminate our relationship, the dealer may be negatively impacted by macroeconomic conditions, or the dealer could face financial insolvency or difficulty in transitioning to new ownership, and establishing a new dealer in a market can take considerable time and resources. Disruption of dealer coverage within a specific local market could have an adverse impact on our business within the affected market. The loss or termination of a significant number of dealers or the inability to establish new dealers could cause difficulties in marketing and distributing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. In the event that a dealer in a strategic market experiences financial difficulty, we may choose to make financial investments in the dealership, which would reduce the risk of disruption but increase our financial exposure. Alternatively, we may elect to purchase and operate dealers in certain markets, which would also require use of our capital and increase our financial exposure.
We rely on our dealers to sell, deliver and install products to our customers, and their ability to perform and their financial conditions could be affected by events such as natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, systems and equipment failures or disruptions, cyberattacks or security breaches. A significant disruption in the operations of our dealers could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.
As a number of our dealers seek growth through expansion into new market locations, we have seen and may continue to see increased consolidation within our dealer network. This increased concentration and size of dealers could increase our exposure to the risks discussed above.
Global Footprint Risk Factors
Our global presence subjects us to risks that may negatively affect our profitability and financial condition.
We have manufacturing facilities, sales locations and offices in many countries, and as a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our success depends on our ability to manage the complexity associated with designing, developing, manufacturing and selling our solutions in a variety of countries. Our global presence is also subject to market risks, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition, including:
•differing business practices, cultural factors and regulatory requirements,
•political, social and economic instability, natural disasters, pandemics, security concerns, including terrorist activity, armed conflict and civil or military unrest and global crises or health issues, and
•intellectual property protection challenges.
10

Table of Contents
Our global footprint makes us vulnerable to currency exchange rate fluctuations and currency controls.
We primarily sell our products in U.S. dollars and euros, but we generate some of our revenues and pay some of our expenses in other currencies. Revenue recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the euro represented approximately 11% of our consolidated revenue in 2025. While we seek to manage our foreign exchange risk largely through operational means by matching revenue with same-currency costs, our results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. We use foreign currency derivatives to hedge some of the near-term volatility of these exposures. There can be no assurance that such hedging will be economically effective. If we are not successful in managing currency exchange rate fluctuations, they could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
We operate globally in multiple currencies, but we translate our results into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, and thus our reported results may be positively or negatively impacted by the strengthening or weakening of the other currencies in which we operate against the U.S. dollar.
In addition, we face restrictions in certain countries that limit or prevent the transfer of funds to other countries or the exchange of the local currency to other currencies, which could have a negative impact on our profitability. We also face risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates that may lead to a decline in the value of the funds held in certain jurisdictions, as well as the value of intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies.
Financial Risk Factors
We may be required to record impairment charges related to goodwill, which can adversely affect our results of operations.
We have net goodwill of $273.5 as of February 28, 2025. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in Q4 or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Poor performance in portions of our business where we have goodwill, including failure to achieve projected performance from acquisitions, or declines in the market value of our equity, have resulted, and may in the future result, in impairment charges, which can adversely affect our results of operations.
There may be significant limitations to our utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards totaling $29.1 and $9.9, respectively, against which valuation allowances totaling $3.1 have been recorded. NOL carryforwards are primarily related to foreign jurisdictions. Tax credit carryforwards consist of U.S. foreign tax credits and foreign investment tax credits. We may be unable to generate sufficient taxable income from future operations in the jurisdictions in which we maintain deferred tax assets related to NOL and tax credit carryforwards, or implement tax, business or other planning strategies, to fully utilize the recorded value of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards. These deferred tax assets are recorded in various currencies that are also subject to foreign exchange risk, which could reduce the amount we may ultimately realize. Additionally, future changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws may limit our ability to fully utilize our NOL and tax credit carryforwards.
Changes in corporate tax laws could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rate could be affected by changes in the mix of our earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. In addition, such tax law changes, if enacted, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. A reduction in applicable tax rates may require us to revalue and write-down our net deferred tax assets. As of February 28, 2025, we had net deferred tax assets of $161.5, and approximately 82% of our net deferred tax assets were subject to recovery in the U.S.

General Risk Factors
Complexity or delay in the design or implementation of our new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system can adversely affect our business.
We are reliant on a global ERP system to support processes critical to our manufacturing operations, financial reporting and executive decision-making. In 2024, we entered the application-development phase of a multi-year, phased implementation of a new cloud-based ERP system which is expected to replace our current ERP system and various other supporting systems for operating and financial processes. We expect to deploy the new ERP system beginning in calendar year 2026.
ERP system implementations are complex and require a significant amount of time and expenditure. Significant investment of internal and external resources has been, and will continue to be, required for successful implementation. Complexity or delay in implementation could result in significant cost overruns and additional time investment from resources that could otherwise focus on other strategic priorities, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
The implementation of our new ERP system will also require reengineering of many of our operating and financial processes. The transformation of these processes involves risks inherent in a large-scale conversion including loss of information, significant change management, impacts to our internal control over financial reporting, potential disruption to our normal operations and other unforeseen challenges. If the new ERP system does not operate as intended or work in concert with reengineered processes, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial reporting or internal control.
We rely on the integrity and security of our information technology systems, and our business could be materially adversely impacted by extended disruptions, significant security breaches or other compromises of these systems.
We rely on information technology systems, including cloud-based systems operated by third parties, to run and manage our business and to process, maintain and safeguard information essential to our business as well as information relating to our customers, dealers, suppliers and employees. These systems are vulnerable to events beyond our reasonable control, including cyberattacks and security breaches, the need for system upgrades and support, telecommunication and internet failures, natural disasters and power loss. Such events have resulted, and may in the future result, in consequences to our business such as operational slowdowns, shutdowns or other difficulties; loss of revenues or market share; compromise or loss of sensitive or proprietary information; destruction or corruption of data; costs of remediation, upgrades, repair or recovery; breaches of obligations to third parties under privacy laws or contracts; or damage to our reputation or customer relationships; each of which, depending on the extent or duration of the event, could materially adversely impact our business, operating results or financial condition. In the case of systems operated by third parties, we rely on the security programs maintained by those parties. We maintain insurance coverage, which may cover some of these risks, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable policies, but such coverage may not be available or sufficient to cover all of the losses that may arise.
We may be materially adversely affected by security breaches, errors or disruptions relating to our software and software-as-a-service offerings.
We sell enterprise resource planning software and software-as-a-service offerings to our dealers. In connection with some of these offerings, we collect and store data belonging to our dealers, and we rely on third parties, such as cloud hosting providers and other service providers, to perform some of our obligations. If the security measures we and our third-party vendors use are breached, if there are errors in our software or if there are any service interruptions caused by other events, our offerings may not operate properly, dealer data could be lost or compromised, and our dealers’ businesses may be disrupted. In such events, we may incur legal liabilities, lost business or harm to our brand reputation, which could have a material negative impact on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Table of Contents
We may be adversely impacted by losses and reputational damage related to product defects.
Product defects can occur within our own product development and manufacturing processes or through our reliance on third parties for product development and manufacturing activities. We incur various expenses related to product defects, including product warranty costs, product recall and retrofit costs and product liability costs, which can have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, the reputation of our brands may be diminished by product defects and recalls.
We maintain a reserve for our product warranty costs based on certain estimates and our knowledge of current events and actions. While we continue to make significant investments to improve product quality, our actual warranty costs may exceed our reserve, resulting in a need to increase our accruals for warranty charges. We purchase insurance coverage to reduce our exposure to significant levels of product liability claims and maintain a reserve for our self-insured losses based upon estimates of the aggregate liability using claims experience and actuarial assumptions. Incorrect estimates or any significant increase in the rate of our product defect expenses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments:
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity:
Risk Management and Strategy
We use a combination of people, processes, and technologies to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity threats, which include end-point monitoring, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. We leverage a variety of cybersecurity services, tools and techniques designed to identify and assess cybersecurity threats and take preemptive action to reduce and, where possible, eliminate the potential impacts.
Our cybersecurity processes are based on the cybersecurity standards set by the Center for Internet Security and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”). We regularly engage outside assessors and consultants to identify potential cybersecurity risks and suggest best practices.
Our efforts to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and data, maintain regulatory compliance and manage our risk from cybersecurity threats include:
•maintaining a Security Operations Center to monitor and investigate activity that may be suspicious,
•staffing and managing a cybersecurity team to safeguard systems and applications,
•routinely auditing the security of critical information technology systems and services, and
•conducting regular training and simulations for all employees and contractors with access to our systems to enhance awareness and responsiveness to possible threats.
We maintain a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, based on NIST’s incident handling framework, to guide our response to cybersecurity threats. The plan includes procedures to triage, assess severity and remediate events in our information technology infrastructure. Annually, we engage third-party experts to conduct penetration testing inside our network.
For data and information that is maintained for us outside our network, we conduct security and privacy assessments of vendors who hold sensitive data and manage critical platforms. We maintain written agreements that govern third-party access to our network and protection of our information, and we conduct annual reviews of appropriate access. We require our suppliers to agree to our Supplier Code of Conduct which includes cybersecurity requirements. We include the assessment of cybersecurity risk as part of our overall enterprise risk management strategy.
Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors under the heading "We rely on the integrity and security of our information technology systems, and our business could be materially adversely impacted by extended disruptions, significant security breaches or other compromises of these systems" for further information on the risks we face from cybersecurity threats. We believe that to date, such risks have not materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

Governance
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of our cybersecurity risk management. At least twice per year, our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) provide a cybersecurity update to our Audit Committee, which includes the results of penetration testing, cybersecurity simulations and training, as well as key initiatives and the progress against those initiatives, updates on the changes in trends of cybersecurity threats and the steps management is taking to address cybersecurity risks.
Our CTO and CISO manage our cybersecurity strategy. Our CTO has over 14 years of experience in information security and risk management and reports directly to our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CISO has over 11 years of experience in information security and risk management, including at a federal law enforcement agency, and has a Master of Science degree in Cybersecurity.
Our CTO and CISO lead our Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan management of cybersecurity incidents with a cross-functional team to assess the potential materiality of cybersecurity events and to report on the detection, analysis, containment and eradication of and recovery from such events. If the severity of events meet certain criteria, as specified by the Incident Response Plan, those events are escalated to senior levels of management and reported to our Disclosure Committee and the Audit Committee. Our Disclosure Committee is responsible for the oversight of controls and procedures related to the public disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents.
Item 2. Properties:
We have operations at locations throughout the U.S. and around the world. None of our owned properties are mortgaged or are held subject to any significant encumbrance.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:
The following review of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere within this Report.
This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share. We have provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a description of these measures and why management believes they are also useful to investors.

The current year results of operations are presented in comparison to the prior year within the sections below. For a discussion of the 2024 results of operations in comparison to 2023, see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
In 2025, our earnings improved compared to 2024, despite flat revenue, driven by a gain from the sale of land and favorable tax items. Our gross margin improved by 110 basis points, driven by benefits from cost reduction initiatives. Revenue growth in the Americas, driven by large corporate, government and education customers, was mostly offset by soft demand across many of the major markets in our International segment. In response to the soft demand and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, we implemented restructuring actions in EMEA and Asia Pacific.
In 2025 compared to 2024, orders grew 4% (adjusted for the impact of a divestiture, currency translation effects and the impact of an additional week in the current year), which included 6% growth in the Americas partially offset by a decline of 4% in International. Order backlog of approximately $694 at the end of 2025 was approximately 11% higher than at the end of 2024. In response to increasing inflationary costs in the Americas, we recently announced a list price increase that will take effect starting in Q2 2026, and in response to changes to the U.S trade policy and related inflationary effects, we announced a tariff recovery charge in the Americas that took effect in Q1 2026.
During 2025, we continued to invest in our business transformation initiative and planned implementation of our new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, and we expect to continue to incur development and other project costs throughout 2026. We will begin amortizing capitalized development costs when the ERP system is ready for its intended use, expected in calendar year 2026.
Our liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and the net cash surrender value of COLI, increased $72.8 during 2025. As of February 28, 2025, total liquidity was $558.3 and total debt was $447.1.
We recorded net income of $120.7 and diluted earnings per share of $1.02 in 2025 compared to net income of $81.1 and diluted earnings per share of $0.68 in 2024.
In 2025, the results included:
•a $42.1 gain from the sale of land, which had the effect of increasing net income by $21.2 and diluted earnings per share by $0.17 after taking into account the related variable compensation expense and tax effects,
•$19.9 of favorable tax items related to the U.S. foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") deduction and enacted regulations under U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 987 ("IRC Section 987"), which had the effect of increasing net income by $12.2 and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 after taking into account the related variable compensation impacts, and

Table of Contents
•a non-cash pension settlement charge of $15.2, which had the effect of decreasing net income by $11.7 and diluted earnings per share by $0.10 after taking into account the related tax effects.
Operating income of $158.1 in 2025 represented an improvement of $40.3 compared to operating income of $117.8 in the prior year. The improvement was driven by $30.1 of higher gains on the sale of fixed assets (primarily land), $45.4 of higher revenue in the Americas and $11.7 of lower restructuring costs, partially offset by $22.5 of higher variable compensation expense (driven by the gain on the sale of land and the favorable tax items). We reported adjusted operating income of $158.4 and adjusted earnings per share of $1.12 in 2025 and had adjusted operating income of $156.7 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.92 in the prior year.
Revenue of $3,166.0 in 2025 represented an increase of $6.4 compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven by $58.5 from an additional week in 2025, mostly offset by lower volume in International and the impact of a prior year divestiture in the Americas. Revenue increased by 2% in the Americas, driven by growth from large corporate, government and education customers. International revenue decreased by 5%, driven by declines in Western Europe and declines in most markets in Asia Pacific, except India. On an organic basis, revenue in 2025 was flat, with 2% growth in the Americas offset by a 7% decline in International.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 130 basis points in 2025 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by higher revenue in the Americas and benefits from cost reduction initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions, partially offset by the impacts of lower revenue in International and $6.7 of higher variable compensation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 170 basis points in the Americas but increased by 60 basis points in International.
Operating expenses increased by $11.5 in 2025, or 40 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in 2025 compared to 2024 included:
•approximately $17 of higher expenses related to the additional week in the current year,
•$15.8 of higher variable compensation expense,
•$10.9 of higher employee costs, and
•$6.2 of higher information technology costs primarily related to our business transformation initiative,
•partially offset by $41.0 of gains on the sale of fixed assets (primarily land) in the current year and a $13.0 decrease from a divestiture.
Operating expenses in 2024 reflected $10.9 of gains related to the sale of fixed assets, including land, and a $9.5 benefit from a decrease in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability.
The investment in our business transformation initiative includes internal resources deployed on the development and configuration of our new ERP system. In 2025, approximately $10 of employee costs were capitalized to Other assets as part of the application-development phase of the project, and we expect to begin amortizing the capitalized development costs when the ERP system is ready for its intended use.
We recorded restructuring costs of $10.8 in 2025 compared to $22.5 in 2024. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Our 2025 effective tax rate was 10.1% compared to a 2024 effective tax rate of 24.3%. In 2025, we qualified for the U.S. FDII deduction and final regulations under IRC Section 987 were enacted, which reduced income tax expense by $9.1 and $10.8, respectively. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Operating income in the Americas increased by $39.0 in 2025 compared to the prior year, driven by $30.7 from the gain on the sale of land (net of related variable compensation expense), gross margin improvement and benefits of higher revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Adjusted operating income of $170.9 in 2025 represented an improvement of $12.2 compared to the prior year.
The Americas revenue represented 77.9% of consolidated revenue in 2025. In 2025, revenue increased by $45.4 or 2% compared to the prior year. In 2025, the Americas revenue grew approximately 3% from higher volume (including the impact from the additional week in the current year) and 1% from pricing benefits, which were partially offset by the impact of a divestiture. The Americas growth included higher revenue from large corporate, government and education customers compared to the prior year. On an organic basis, revenue increased by $36.8 or 2% in 2025 compared to the prior year.

The operating loss in International improved by $1.3 in 2025 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by $14.6 of lower restructuring costs, largely offset by the impacts of lower revenue. The adjusted operating loss of $12.5 in 2025 represented an increase of $10.5 compared to the adjusted operating loss of $2.0 in the prior year.
International revenue represented 22.1% of consolidated revenue in 2025. In 2025, revenue decreased by $39 or 5% compared to the prior year. In 2025, International revenue declined by approximately 5% due to lower volume and approximately 2% due to the impacts of lower pricing, partially offset by 2% growth from the additional week in the current year. The decline was driven by lower revenue in most major markets, partially offset by growth in India and Spain. On an organic basis, revenue declined $48.5 or 7% in 2025 compared to the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by 60 basis points in 2025 compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by the impacts of lower revenue, partially offset by benefits from cost reduction initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions.
Operating expenses decreased by $2.3 in 2025, but increased by 140 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in 2025 compared to 2024 included:
•approximately $13 of lower spending,
•partially offset by approximately $4 of higher expenses related to the additional week in the current year.
Operating expenses in 2024 reflected a $4.8 benefit from a decrease in the valuation of a contingent earnout liability.
Restructuring costs decreased $14.6 in 2025 compared to the prior year. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss) and (3) adjusted earnings per share.
Organic Revenue Growth (Decline)
We define organic revenue growth (decline) as revenue growth (decline) excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, foreign currency translation effects and the impact of the additional week in 2025. Organic revenue growth (decline) is calculated by (1) adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies and to use current year average exchange rates in the calculation of foreign-denominated revenue and (2) adjusting current year revenue to exclude the estimated revenues associated with the additional week in 2025. We believe organic revenue growth (decline) is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of our revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs (benefits) and gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts. We define adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs (benefits), gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension plan settlements, and the related income tax effects of these items.
◦Amortization of purchased intangible assets: We may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when we acquire companies. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. We believe that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
◦Restructuring costs (benefits): Restructuring costs (benefits) may be recorded as our business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. We believe that adjusting for restructuring costs (benefits), which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
◦Gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts: We may sell land when conditions are favorable. Gains and losses on the sale of land may increase or decrease, respectively, our variable compensation expense. We believe adjusting for these items provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers. In 2025, we began adjusting for these items, as we realized a significant gain on the sale of land during the year, which had a significant impact on our variable compensation expense, and we have adjusted the prior periods presented for consistency and comparability.
◦Gains (losses) on pension plan settlements: We realize gains or losses previously reported as unrealized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Other income (expense), net, in connection with pension plan settlements when all risks related to the benefit obligations to plan participants and plan assets are transferred. We believe adjusting for the gains or losses on pension plan settlements provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are available to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. During normal business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 for cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund operating requirements. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility, and from time to time, we may allow our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to temporarily fall below our targeted range to fund acquisitions and other growth initiatives.

Liquidity Sources | February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024

Availability under credit facilities | 323.7 |  |  | 321.8 |  |
Total liquidity sources available | $ | 882.0 |  |  | $ | 807.3 |  |

As of February 28, 2025, we held a total of $387.9 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Of that total, 90% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 10%, or $38.5, was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China (including Hong Kong), India, Mexico and Malaysia. Our short-term investments are maintained in a managed investment portfolio in the U.S. and primarily consist of corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. government debt securities.
COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a funding source for long-term benefit obligations. However, COLI can also be used as a source of liquidity. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Availability under credit facilities may be reduced related to compliance with applicable covenants. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

Table of Contents
Material Cash Requirements
Our material committed cash requirements are as follows:
•Debt: We have no principal repayment obligations on our debt during 2026 through 2028 and $450.0 due in 2029. Interest obligations on our debt are estimated to be approximately $23 in each year until maturity. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•Operating leases: We have commitments related to corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2035. Minimum payments under our operating lease obligations are estimated to be $46.7 during 2025 and $126.3 thereafter. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•Employee benefit and compensation obligations: We have obligations related to contributions and benefit payments expected to be made for post-retirement, pension and defined contribution plans and deferred compensation plans. Our obligations related to post-retirement benefit plans are not contractual, and the plans could be amended at the discretion of our Compensation Committee. Payments related to post-retirement and pension plans are estimated to be $6.9 during 2026 and $43.8 from 2027 through 2035. Our deferred compensation obligations are estimated to be $7.8 during 2026 and $44.2 thereafter. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
We also have other planned material usages of cash which we consider discretionary. This includes plans for capital expenditures and capitalizable costs for cloud computing arrangements related to the implementation of our new ERP system, which are expected to total approximately $80 in 2026. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on our accounting policy related to cloud computing arrangements. In addition, we fund dividend payments as and when approved by our Board of Directors. On March 26, 2025, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.10 per share, or $11.5, to be paid in Q1 2026.
The amounts included above are as of February 28, 2025. Our material cash requirements are subject to fluctuation based on business requirements, economic volatility or investments in strategic initiatives. The amounts of these obligations could change materially over time as new contracts or obligations are initiated and existing contracts or obligations are terminated or modified.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on historical data and management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from the estimates if different conditions occur. The accounting estimates that typically involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are listed and explained below. These estimates were discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and affect both of our segments.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are reviewed with our advisors and can include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows related to acquired dealer relationships, trademarks and know-how/designs and require estimation of useful lives and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Table of Contents
Annually in Q4, or earlier if conditions indicate it is necessary, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared to an estimate of its fair value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. In 2025, we evaluated goodwill using nine reporting units: the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific, Designtex, AMQ, Smith System, Orangebox U.K., Viccarbe and HALCON.
During Q4 2025, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill in our reporting units. In the test for potential impairment, we measured the estimated fair values of our reporting units under an income-based approach by using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation method. The DCF analysis calculated the present value of projected cash flows and a residual value using discount rates that ranged from 11% to 13%. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows in measuring fair value. Assumptions used in our DCF valuations, such as discount rates, forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins and estimated capital investment, are consistent with our internal projections as of the time of the assessment. These assumptions could change over time, which may result in future impairment charges. We corroborated the results of the DCF analysis with a market-based approach that used observable comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates. There were no impairment charges recorded for any reporting units in 2025. If we had concluded that it was appropriate to increase the discount rate in our analysis by 100 basis points to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, the fair value of each of our reporting units would still have exceeded its carrying value.
As of February 28, 2025, we had remaining goodwill recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows:

Reportable Segment | Goodwill
Americas | $ | 265.1 |  |
International | 8.4 |  |
Total | $ | 273.5 |  |

As of the valuation date, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by at least 30%. See Note 2 and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Income Taxes
Our annual effective tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense, measuring our expected ability to realize deferred tax assets and evaluating our tax positions.
We are audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under the Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”). Under CAP, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service works with large business taxpayers to identify and resolve issues prior to the filing of a tax return. Accordingly, we expect to record minimal liabilities for U.S. Federal uncertain tax positions. Tax positions are reviewed regularly for state, local and non-U.S. tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence. These expectations require significant judgment and are developed using forecasts of future taxable income that are consistent with the internal plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business as of the time of the evaluation. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. A 1% change in statutory tax rates used to compute our deferred tax assets and liabilities would have increased or decreased our income tax expense in 2025 by approximately $6.3.
30

Table of Contents
Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. As of February 28, 2025, we recorded tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards of $29.1. We also have recorded valuation allowances totaling $3.1 against these assets, which reduced our recorded tax benefit to $26.0. It is considered more likely than not that a $26.0 cash benefit will be realized on these carryforwards in future periods. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax, business and other planning strategies will enable us to utilize the carryforwards. To the extent that available evidence raises doubt about the realization of a deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance would be established or adjusted. A change in judgment regarding our expected ability to realize deferred tax assets would be accounted for as a discrete tax expense or benefit in the period in which it occurs.
Additionally, we have deferred tax assets related to tax credit carryforwards of $9.9 comprised primarily of U.S. foreign tax credits and investment tax credits granted by the Czech Republic. The U.S. foreign tax credit carryforward period is 10 years. Utilization of foreign tax credits is restricted to 21% of foreign source taxable income in that year. We have projected our pretax domestic earnings and foreign source income and expect to utilize $7.0 of excess foreign tax credits within the allowable carryforward periods. The carryforward period for the Czech Republic investment tax credits is also 10 years. We have projected our pretax earnings in the Czech Republic and expect to utilize the $2.9 of credits within the allowable carryover period. Valuation allowances are recorded to the extent realization of the tax credit carryforwards is not more likely than not.
See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits
We sponsor a number of domestic and foreign plans to provide pension, medical and life insurance benefits to retired employees. As of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, the fair value of plan assets, benefit plan obligations and funded status of these plans were as follows:

| Defined Benefit Pension Plans | Post-Retirement Plans
February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024 | February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024
Fair value of plan assets | $ | 0.3 |  |  | $ | 22.8 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |
Benefit plan obligations | 30.0 |  |  | 52.5 |  |  | 25.4 |  |  | 27.2 |  |
Funded status | $ | (29.7) |  |  | $ | (29.7) |  |  | $ | (25.4) |  |  | $ | (27.2) |  |

The post-retirement medical and life insurance plans are unfunded. As of February 28, 2025, approximately 69% of our unfunded defined benefit pension obligations is related to our non-qualified supplemental retirement plan that is limited to a select group of management approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The post-retirement medical and life insurance plans were frozen to new participants in 2003. The non-qualified supplemental retirement plan was frozen to new participants in 2016, and the benefits were capped for existing participants. A portion of our investments in whole life and variable life COLI policies with a net cash surrender value of $170.4 as of February 28, 2025 are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for post-retirement medical benefits, deferred compensation and defined benefit pension plan obligations. The asset values of the COLI policies are not segregated in a trust specifically for the plans and thus are not considered plan assets. Changes in the values of these policies are recorded in operating expenses, but have no effect on the post-retirement benefits expense, defined benefit pension expense or benefit obligations recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
We recognize the cost of benefits provided during retirement over the employees’ active working lives. Inherent in this approach is the requirement to use various actuarial assumptions to predict and measure costs and obligations many years prior to the settlement date. Key actuarial assumptions that require significant management judgment and have a material impact on the measurement of our consolidated benefits expense and benefit obligations include, among others, the discount rate and health care cost trend rates. These and other assumptions are reviewed with our actuaries and updated annually based on relevant external and internal factors and information, including, but not limited to, benefit payments, expenses paid from the plan, rates of termination, medical inflation, regulatory requirements, plan changes and governmental coverage changes.

To conduct our annual review of discount rates, we perform a matching exercise of projected plan cash flows against spot rates on a yield curve comprised of high-quality corporate bonds as of the measurement date (the Ryan ALM Top Third curve). The measurement dates for our retiree benefit plans are consistent with the last day in February. Accordingly, we select discount rates to measure our benefit obligations that are consistent with market indices at the end of February. In 2025, the weighted average discount rate used to determine the estimated fair value of our defined benefit pension plan obligations was decreased to 4.50% from 4.80%. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the estimated fair value of our post-retirement plan obligations was decreased to 5.23% from 5.46%.
Based on consolidated benefit obligations as of February 28, 2025, a one percentage point decline in the discount rate used for benefit plan measurement purposes would have changed the 2025 consolidated benefit obligations by approximately $4. All obligation-related actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a straight-line method over the average remaining service period of active plan participants.
To conduct our annual review of healthcare cost trend rates, we model our actual claims cost data over a historical period, including an analysis of the pre-65 age group and other important demographic components of our covered retiree population. This data is adjusted to eliminate the impact of plan changes and other factors that would tend to distort the underlying healthcare cost inflation trends. Our initial healthcare cost trend rate is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary to remain consistent with recent historical experience and our expectations regarding short-term future trends. As of February 28, 2025, our initial medical rate of 6.50% for pre-age 65 retirees was trended downward by each year, until the ultimate trend rate of 4.50% was reached. The ultimate trend rate is adjusted annually, as necessary, to approximate the current economic view on the rate of long-term inflation plus an appropriate healthcare cost premium. Post-age 65 trend rates are not applicable as our plan provides a fixed subsidy for post-age 65 benefits.
Despite the previously described policies for selecting key actuarial assumptions, we periodically experience material differences between assumed and actual experience. Our consolidated net unamortized prior service costs and net actuarial gains of $4.4 and $12.0 related to our defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement plans, respectively, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, in written and oral statements, we discuss our expectations regarding future events and our plans and objectives for future operations. These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to us, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” "target" or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and vary from our expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters, pandemics and other Force Majeure events; cyberattacks; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in this Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:
We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange, interest rates, commodity prices and fixed income and equity prices, which could affect our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily on sales and cost commitments, anticipated sales and purchases, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating entity. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk largely through operational means, including matching revenue with same-currency costs and assets with same-currency liabilities. We transacted business globally in 15 primary currencies in 2025 and 2024, of which the most significant were the U.S. dollar, the euro, the U.K. pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee, the Mexican peso, the Chinese renminbi and the Malaysian ringgit. Revenue from foreign locations represented approximately 28% of our consolidated revenue in 2025 and approximately 29% in 2024. We actively manage the foreign currency exposures that are associated with committed foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business at the local entity level. Exposures that cannot be naturally offset within a local entity to an immaterial amount are often netted with offsetting exposures at other entities or hedged with foreign currency derivatives. We do not use foreign currency derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold.
We estimate that an additional 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against local currencies would have increased operating income by approximately $16.8 in 2025 and by approximately $16.5 in 2024. These estimates assume no changes other than the U.S. dollar exchange rate itself, and this quantitative measure has inherent limitations. The sensitivity analysis disregards the possibility that U.S. dollar and other exchange rates can move in opposite directions and that gains from one currency may or may not be offset by losses from another currency.
The translation of the assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries is completed using the foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of the fiscal year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until a sale or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the international subsidiary takes place. In certain markets, we could recognize a significant gain or loss related to unrealized cumulative translation adjustments if we were to exit the market and liquidate our net investment. As of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, the cumulative net currency translation adjustments reduced shareholders’ equity by $75.9 and $68.5, respectively.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflect transaction gains and losses, which arise from monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a business unit’s functional currency and are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2025 and 2024, net foreign currency exchange losses were $2.0 and $1.0, respectively.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash equivalents are primarily held in money market funds invested in U.S. government debt securities. Our short-term investments are maintained in a managed investment portfolio in the U.S. and primarily consist of corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. government debt securities.
We estimate a 1% increase in interest rates would have increased our net income by approximately $2 and $1 in 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily as a result of higher interest income on our cash and cash equivalents and managed investment portfolio. However, this quantitative measure has inherent limitations since not all of our investments are in similar asset classes and our borrowings and investment balances can fluctuate throughout the year.
See Note 7 and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Table of Contents
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to commodity price risk on raw material, component and finished good purchases. The raw materials that we purchase and that are used in the manufacture of the components and finished goods are not rare or unique to our industry. The cost of steel, petroleum-based products (including plastics and foam), aluminum, other metals, wood, particleboard and other commodities, such as fuel and energy, have fluctuated due to changes in global supply and demand. Our gross margins could be affected if these types of costs continue to fluctuate or changes in global supply and demand force us to procure materials from outside our current supply chains. We actively manage these raw material costs through global sourcing initiatives and price increases on our products. However, in the short-term, significant increases in raw material costs, commodity and other input costs can be very difficult to offset with price increases because of contractual agreements with our customers, and it is difficult to find effective financial instruments to hedge against such changes.
As a result of changes in commodity costs, cost of sales decreased by approximately $6 during 2025 and decreased by approximately $14 in 2024. The decrease in commodity costs during 2025 was driven primarily by higher inbound freight costs in the prior year and the decrease in 2024 was driven primarily by material commodities and fuel. We estimate that an additional 1% increase in commodity prices, assuming no offsetting benefit of price increases, would have decreased our operating income by approximately $12 in 2025 and by approximately $11 in 2024. This quantitative measure has inherent limitations given the likelihood of implementing pricing actions to offset significant increases in commodity prices.
Fixed Income and Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to fixed income and equity price risk primarily on the net cash surrender value associated with our investments in variable life COLI policies, which totaled $64.4 as of February 28, 2025. Our variable life COLI policies were allocated at approximately 60% fixed income and 40% equity investments as of February 28, 2025.
We estimate a 10% adverse change in the value of the equity portion of our variable life COLI investments would reduce our net income by approximately $3 in 2025 and 2024. However, given that a portion of the investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for deferred compensation obligations, and the related earnings associated with these obligations are driven by participant investment elections that often include equity market allocations, any adverse change in the equity portion of our variable life COLI investments may be partially offset by reductions in deferred compensation liabilities. We estimate that the risk of changes in the value of the variable life COLI investments due to other factors, including changes in interest rates, yield curve and portfolio duration, would not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. This quantitative measure has inherent limitations since not all of our investments are in similar asset classes.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2025.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Goodwill – AMQ Reporting Unit – Refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company measures the estimated fair values of the reporting units under an income-based approach by using a discounted cash flow valuation method, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates, forecasted revenue growth rates, and expected operating margins. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The Company corroborates the results determined using an income-based approach with a market-based approach that uses observable comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates. Based on the results of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company concluded that no goodwill impairment existed for the year ended February 28, 2025. The consolidated goodwill balance was $273.5 million as of February 28, 2025, of which $31.5 million was allocated to

the AMQ Reporting Unit (“AMQ”).
We identified goodwill for AMQ as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of AMQ given the sensitivity of operating changes on future cash flows for this reporting unit. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins, and the selection of the discount rate.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins and the selection of the discount rate used by management to estimate the fair value of AMQ included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of AMQ, such as controls related to forecasted revenue growth rates, expected operating margins, and the selection of the discount rate.
•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue growth rates and operating margins by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins by comparing the forecasts to:
–Historical revenues and operating margins.
–Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.
–Forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the Company's valuation methodology and assumptions, including the determination of the discount rate by:
–Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
–Developing a range of independent estimates and performing a sensitivity analysis and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

STEELCASE INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Steelcase is a global leader in furnishing the work experience in office workplaces. Founded in 1912, we are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A. and employ approximately 11,300 employees. We operate manufacturing and distribution center facilities in 22 principal locations. We distribute products through various channels, including Steelcase independent and company-owned dealers in approximately 790 locations throughout the world. We operate under the Americas and International reportable segments. See Note 20 for additional information related to our reportable segments.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries. We consolidate entities in which we maintain a controlling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We also consolidate variable interest entities when appropriate.
Investments in entities where our equity ownership falls between 20% and 50%, or where we otherwise have significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All other investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. These investments are reported as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and income (losses) from equity method investments and any adjustments to cost method investments are reported in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 for additional information.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the last Friday in February, with each fiscal quarter typically including 13 weeks. The fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 contained 53 weeks, with Q4 2025 containing 14 weeks. The fiscal years ended February 23, 2024 and February 24, 2023 contained 52 weeks. Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a month or specific date reference. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on historical data and management’s knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand bank deposits and highly liquid investment securities with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are reported at cost and approximate fair value. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are classified as Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our restricted cash balance as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 was $7.5 and $7.3, respectively, and consisted primarily of funds held in escrow for potential future workers’ compensation and product liability claims. Our restricted cash balance is classified in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Allowances for Credit Losses
Allowances for credit losses related to accounts receivable and notes receivable are maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb an estimate of probable future losses existing at the balance sheet date. In estimating probable losses, we review accounts that are past due or in bankruptcy. We consider an accounts receivable or notes receivable balance past due when payment is not received within the stated terms. We review accounts that may have higher credit risk using information available about the debtor, such as financial statements, news reports and published credit ratings. We also use general information regarding industry trends, the economic environment and information gathered through our network of field-based employees. Using an estimate of current fair market value of any applicable collateral and other credit enhancements, such as third party guarantees, we arrive at an estimated loss for specific concerns and estimate an additional amount for the remainder of trade balances based on historical trends and other factors previously referenced. Receivable balances are written off when we determine the balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to bad debt expense when received.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our trade receivables are due from independent dealers as well as direct customers. We monitor and manage the credit risk associated with individual dealers and direct customers. Dealers are responsible for assessing and assuming credit risk of their customers and may require their customers to provide deposits, letters of credit or other credit enhancement measures. Some sales contracts are structured such that the customer payment or obligation is direct to us. In those cases, we typically assume the credit risk. Whether from dealers or direct customers, our trade credit exposures are not concentrated with any particular entity or industry.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Americas segment primarily uses the last in, first out (“LIFO”) and the first in, first out ("FIFO") methods to value its inventories. The International segment values inventories primarily using FIFO. See Note 8 for additional information.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements that materially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. See Note 9 for additional information.
Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We evaluate several conditions, including, but not limited to, the following: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset or an asset group; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used, including an extended period of idleness; and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. We review the carrying value of our held and used long-lived assets utilizing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value.
When assets are classified as “held for sale,” losses are recorded for the difference between the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and the estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. Assets are considered “held for sale” when there is an active program to locate a buyer, and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and is expected to be sold within twelve months.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Cloud Computing Arrangements
We capitalize implementation costs of a cloud computing arrangement with a useful life greater than one year consistent with the capitalization criteria used for internal-use software. Costs incurred during the application-development phase, subject to certain exceptions, are capitalized after the preliminary project phase is completed and management commits to funding the project. Capitalized costs include fees paid to consultants to implement the software, payroll and payroll-related costs of employees to the extent of the time spent directly on the project and interest costs, if appropriate. Capitalized costs are recorded to Prepaid expenses and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within Net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Capitalization of costs ceases at the point when the software associated with the cloud computing arrangement is ready for its intended use. Subsequent enhancements or upgrades are capitalized only to the extent that they add significant new functionality, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization of capitalized costs is recorded over the initial term of the related cloud computing arrangement, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
In Q3 2024, we entered the application-development phase of a multi-year, phased implementation of a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system which is expected to replace our current ERP system and various other supporting systems for operating and financial processes. As of February 28, 2025, we have capitalized $59.1 of costs related to development activities incurred in the implementation of the new ERP system. Capitalized costs associated with other cloud computing arrangements were immaterial as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and identifiable intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in Q4, or earlier if conditions indicate there may be potential for impairment, such as significant adverse changes in business climate or operating results, changes in our strategy, significant declines in our stock price or other triggering events. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. We compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach, which calculates the fair value of each reporting unit based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rates used are based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting units' ability to execute on the projected cash flows. We corroborate the results determined using the income approach with a market-based approach that uses observable and comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates. The estimation of the fair value of our reporting units represents a Level 3 measurement.
In 2025 and 2024, we evaluated goodwill and intangible assets using nine reporting units: the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific, Designtex, AMQ, Smith System, Orangebox U.K., Viccarbe and HALCON. See Note 11 for additional information.
Other intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how/designs and proprietary technology and are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets not subject to amortization are accounted for and evaluated for potential impairment using an income approach based on the cash flows attributable to the related products. See Note 11 for additional information.

Supplier Finance Program
We participate in a supplier finance program in Spain offered by a third-party financial institution. The program allows participating suppliers the ability to finance our payment obligations prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price set by the financial institution. We have extended payment terms with suppliers that have voluntarily chosen to participate in the program. The outstanding amount of program obligations is reported in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Below is a roll-forward of the supplier finance program obligations during 2025:

Roll-Forward of Outstanding Supplier Finance Program Obligations | Year Ended | Year Ended
February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024
Balance as of beginning of period | $ | 0.1 |  |  | $ | 0.5 |  |

Reductions for settled obligations | (4.6) |  |  | (8.4) |  |
Balance as of end of period | $ | 0.6 |  |  | $ | 0.1 |  |

Contingencies
Loss contingencies are accrued if the loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs associated with potential loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Based on known information, we do not believe we are party to any lawsuit or proceeding, individually and in the aggregate, that is likely to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Self-Insurance
We are self-insured for certain losses relating to domestic workers’ compensation and product liability claims. We purchase insurance coverage to reduce our exposure to significant levels of uncertainty for these claims. Self-insured losses are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims incurred as of the balance sheet date using current and historical claims experience and actuarial assumptions. These estimates are subject to uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including extended lag times in the reporting and resolution of claims, trends or changes in claim settlement patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations. As a result, actual costs could differ from the estimated amounts. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Net Reserve for Estimated Domestic Workers' Compensation Claims | Year Ended

The Other assets balance represents the portion of claims expected to be paid by a third party insurance provider.
Product Warranties
We offer warranties ranging from three years to lifetime for most of our products, subject to certain exceptions. These warranties provide for the free repair or replacement of any covered product, part or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in materials or workmanship. The accrued liability for product warranties is based on an estimated amount needed to cover product warranty costs, including product recall and retrofit costs, incurred as of the balance sheet date.
We use an actuarial model to estimate our product warranty liability using actual paid claims over at least ten years and other actuarial assumptions, which provide a basis for expected future losses using actuarial assumptions.
These estimates are subject to uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claim rates and patterns. As a result, actual costs could differ significantly from the estimated amounts. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Accruals related to product warranties, recalls, retrofits and changes in claims experience or trends that impact our estimated product warranty liability are recorded to Cost of sales.

Roll-Forward of Accrued Liability for Product Warranties | Year Ended
February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024
Balance as of beginning of period | $ | 33.7 |  |  | $ | 28.6 |  |

Our reserve for estimated settlements expected to be paid beyond one year was $17.3 as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 and is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits
We sponsor a number of domestic and foreign plans to provide pension benefits and medical and life insurance benefits to retired employees. We measure the net over-funded or under-funded positions of our defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefit plans as of the end of each fiscal year and display that position as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any unrecognized prior service credit (cost) or actuarial gains (losses) are reported, net of tax, as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. See Note 14 for additional information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Environmental Matters
Environmental expenditures related to current operations are expensed as incurred. Expenditures related to an existing condition allegedly caused by past operations, and not associated with current or future revenue generation, are typically recognized upon completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Liabilities are recorded on a discounted basis when site-specific plans indicate the amount and timing of cash payments which are fixed and reliably determinable. We have ongoing monitoring and identification processes to assess how known exposures are progressing against the accrued cost estimates, as well as processes to identify other potential exposures.

Environmental Contingencies | Year Ended
February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024
Current - Other current liabilities | $ | 1.8 |  |  | $ | 0.6 |  |
Long-term - Other long-term liabilities | 3.1 |  |  | 2.3 |  |
Total environmental contingencies (discounted) | $ | 4.9 |  |  | $ | 2.9 |  |

As of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, environmental liabilities were discounted using a rate of 3.5% when the amount and timing of cash payments are fixed and reliably determinable, and our undiscounted liabilities were $4.9 and $3.1, respectively. Based on our ongoing evaluation of these matters, we believe we have accrued sufficient reserves to cover the costs of all known environmental assessments and the remediation costs of all known sites.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We record all known asset retirement obligations for which the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. We also have known conditional asset retirement obligations that are not reasonably estimable due to insufficient information about the timing and method of settlement of the obligation. Accordingly, these obligations have not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. A liability for these obligations will be recorded in the period when sufficient information regarding timing and method of settlement becomes available to make a reasonable estimate of the liability’s fair value. In addition, there may be conditional asset retirement obligations we have not yet discovered, and therefore, these obligations also have not been included in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue consists substantially of product sales and related service revenue. Product sales are reported net of discounts and are recognized when control, consisting of the rights and obligations associated with the sale, passes to the purchaser. For sales to our dealers, this typically occurs when product is shipped from our manufacturing or distribution facilities. In cases where we sell directly to customers, control is typically transferred upon delivery to the customer and, in some cases, following installation and acceptance by the customer. Service revenue is recognized when the services have been rendered. We account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities even if those activities are performed after the control of the product has been transferred. We expense shipping and handling costs at the time revenue is recognized. Revenue does not include sales tax or any other taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific sale, such as use, excise, value-added and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as "consumption taxes"). We consider ourselves a pass-through entity for collecting and remitting these consumption taxes.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes material, labor, freight and overhead incurred directly related to the procurement, manufacturing and delivery of our products. Included within these categories are such items as employee compensation expense, logistics costs (including shipping and handling costs), facilities expense, depreciation, contract labor costs and warranty expense.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses not directly related to the procurement, manufacturing and delivery of our products. Included in these expenses are items such as employee compensation expense, facilities expense, depreciation, research and development expense, royalty expense, information technology services, professional services and travel and entertainment expense.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses, which we define as expenses related to the investigative activities we conduct to lead to the development of new products and to improve existing products and procedures, are expensed as incurred and were $50.4 for 2025, $48.2 for 2024 and $44.4 for 2023.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. These deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We establish valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All evidence, both positive and negative, is identified and considered in making the determination. Future realization of the existing deferred tax asset depends, in part, on the existence of sufficient taxable income of appropriate character within the carryforward period available under tax law applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related deferred tax assets were generated.
We have net operating loss carryforwards available in certain jurisdictions to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits associated with net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax, business and other planning strategies will enable us to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards within the carryforward period. In making this determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence. To the extent that available evidence raises doubt about the realization of a deferred income tax asset, a valuation allowance is established.
We record reserves for uncertain tax positions except to the extent it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Periodic changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions are reflected in the provision for income taxes. See Note 16 for additional information.
Share-Based Compensation
Our share-based compensation consists of restricted stock units and performance units. Our policy is to expense share-based compensation using the fair-value based method of accounting for all awards granted, modified or settled. Restricted stock units and performance units are credited to shareholders' equity as they are expensed over the related service periods based on the grant date fair value of the shares expected to be issued and the achievement of certain performance conditions, respectively. See Note 17 for additional information.

Leases
We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles and equipment. We record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for operating leases with terms greater than one year. Lease terms utilized in determining right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include the noncancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods. Our leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate represents the estimated rate of interest we would have had to pay to borrow (on a collateralized basis) an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar period of time.
We do not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of lease assets except for embedded leases, which were immaterial in 2025. See Note 18 for additional information.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our short-term investments, long-term investment, foreign exchange forward contracts and contingent earnout liability are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our total debt is carried at cost and was $447.1 and $446.3 as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $432.8 and $423.0 as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements. See Note 7 and Note 13 for additional information.
We may use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
We evaluate contractual obligations to transfer additional cash to the sellers of companies we acquire as either a compensation arrangement or contingent consideration. We evaluate these obligations based on the terms and duration of continuing employment of the sellers post-acquisition, the linkage to the underlying valuation of the acquired company and the obligations taken in the context of other contracts or agreements. Compensation arrangements are recorded in Operating expenses as services are rendered post-acquisition. Contingent consideration obligations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition dates. At each subsequent reporting date, changes in the fair value of the liabilities are recorded to Operating expenses until the liabilities are settled. See Note 7 for additional information.
Foreign Currency
For most foreign operations, local currencies are considered the functional currencies. We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries to their U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets unless and until a sale or a substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the international subsidiary takes place. We translate Consolidated Statements of Income accounts at average exchange rates for the applicable period.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, net of derivative impacts, arising primarily from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions and balances between foreign locations, are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
A portion of our revenue and earnings is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk largely through operational means, including matching revenues with same currency costs and assets with same currency liabilities. Foreign exchange risk is also partially managed through the use of derivative instruments. Foreign exchange forward contracts serve to reduce the risk of conversion or remeasurement of certain foreign denominated transactions, assets and liabilities. We primarily use derivatives for intercompany transactions (including loans) and certain forecasted currency flows from foreign-denominated transactions. The foreign exchange forward contracts primarily relate to the Mexican peso, the euro, the United Kingdom ("U.K.") pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Malaysian ringgit and the Chinese renminbi. See Note 7 for additional information.
Assets and liabilities related to foreign exchange forward contracts as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 are summarized below:

Net Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts | February 28, 2025 | February 23, 2024

3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements. We have assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In 2025, we adopted ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve disclosures related to significant segment expenses and the information used by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. We adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis, which modified our annual disclosures beginning in 2025 but did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40) - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which is intended to improve disclosures through disaggregation of certain commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which was clarified in ASU 2025-01. We expect the adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosures, specifically related to additional detail required in the effective tax rate reconciliation and the disaggregation of income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect the adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities represent restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

7. FAIR VALUE
Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
•Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
•Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the asset or liability at the measurement date in model-driven valuations. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be other significant inputs that are readily observable.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 are summarized below:

Managed Investment Portfolio and Other Investments
Starting in 2025, we invested in a managed investment portfolio which consists of corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. government debt securities. These investments are considered available-for-sale and are classified as Short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of February 28, 2025, the fair value of our Short-term investments was $41.6. We have instructed our investment manager to operate under a mandate to keep the average duration of investments under two years. Fair values for these investments are based upon valuations for identical or similar instruments in active markets, with the resulting net unrealized holding gains or losses reflected net of tax as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cost basis for these investments, determined using the specific identification method, was $41.0 and unrealized gains were $0.6 as of February 28, 2025. Of our total short-term investments, $7.7 mature within one year and $33.9 mature after one year to five years.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
We occasionally enter into forward contracts to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign-denominated transactions, assets and liabilities. We primarily use derivatives for intercompany transactions (including loans) and certain forecasted currency flows from foreign-denominated transactions. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on a valuation model that calculates the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate as of the balance sheet date.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Below is a roll-forward of assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value using Level 3 inputs during 2025 and 2024:

Roll-Forward of Fair Value Using Level 3 Inputs | Auction Rate Security - Other Assets | Contingent Consideration - Other Long-Term Liabilities
Balance as of February 24, 2023 | $ | 2.1 |  |  | $ | 9.5 |  |
Unrealized gain (loss) on investments | 0.7 |  |  | — |  |
Change in estimated fair value | — |  |  | (9.5) |  |

Change in estimated fair value | — |  |  | — |  |
Balance as of February 28, 2025 | $ | 2.8 |  |  | $ | — |  |

There were no other-than-temporary impairments or transfers into or out of Level 3 during either 2025 or 2024. Our policy is to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.
Auction Rate Security
As of February 28, 2025, we held an auction rate security (“ARS”) investment with a total par value of $3.2 and a fair value of $2.8. The difference between par value and fair value is comprised of other-than-temporary impairment losses recorded in previous fiscal years and unrealized gains on our ARS investment of $0.9 and $0.5, respectively. The unrealized gains are due to changes in interest rates and are expected to fluctuate over the contractual term of the investment. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The ARS investment is not widely traded and therefore does not currently have a readily determinable market value. To estimate fair value, we used an internally-developed discounted cash flow analysis which considers, amongst other factors: (i) the credit ratings of the ARS, (ii) the credit quality of the underlying securities or the credit ratings of issuers, (iii) the estimated timing and amount of cash flows, (iv) the formula applicable to the security which defines the penalty interest rate and (v) discount rates equal to the sum of (a) the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term through the estimated workout date plus (b) a risk premium based on similarly rated observable securities.
59

STEELCASE INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
A deterioration in market conditions or the use of different assumptions could result in a different valuation of the investment. An increase to the discount rate of 100 basis points would reduce the estimated fair value of our ARS investment by approximately $0.3.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Viccarbe Habitat, S.L ("Viccarbe") in Q3 2022, up to an additional $13.6 (or €13.0) was payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain revenue and operating income targets over a three-year period which ended in 2025. This amount was considered to be contingent consideration and was treated for accounting purposes as part of the total purchase price of the acquisition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which represents a Level 3 measurement. At each subsequent reporting date, changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded to Operating expenses until the liability is settled. As of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $0.0 based upon the results of the Viccarbe business over the earnout period.

10. COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
Our investments in COLI policies are recorded at their net cash surrender value.
Our investments in COLI are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for post-retirement medical benefits, deferred compensation and defined benefit pension plan obligations. The designation of our COLI investments as funding sources for our long-term benefit plan obligations does not result in these investments representing a committed funding source for these obligations. We can designate any portion of them to another purpose at any time.
The net returns in cash surrender value, normal insurance expenses and any maturity benefits related to our investments in COLI policies ("COLI income") are recorded in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. COLI income is intended to offset the expense associated with long-term benefit plan obligations which are also recorded in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. COLI income totaled $9.7, $10.5 and $0.8 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The balances of our COLI investments as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 were as follows:

____________________
(1)As of February 28, 2025, our senior notes due in 2029 have a principal balance of $450.0 and remaining unamortized bond discount and debt issuance costs of $2.9, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the notes.
Senior Notes
In 2019, we issued $450.0 of unsecured unsubordinated senior notes, due in January 2029 (“2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes would rank equally with any other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness, and they contain no financial covenants. The 2029 Notes were issued at 99.213% of par value. The bond discount of $3.5 and direct debt issuance costs of $4.0 were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the 2029 Notes. Although the coupon rate of the 2029 Notes is 5.125%, the effective interest rate is 5.6% after taking into account the impact of the direct debt issuance costs, a deferred loss on an interest rate lock related to the debt issuance and the bond discount. Amortization expense related to the discount and debt issuance costs on the 2029 Notes was $0.8 in 2025 and 2024.
We may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at any time. The redemption price would equal the greater of: (1) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (2) the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the comparable U.S. Treasury rate plus 40 basis points; plus, in both cases, accrued and unpaid interest. If the notes are redeemed within 3 months of maturity, the redemption price would be equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Global Committed Bank Facility
We have a $300.0 global committed bank facility, which expires in 2029. At our option, and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $150.0 by obtaining at least one commitment from one of the lenders. We can use borrowings under the facility for general corporate purposes, including friendly acquisitions. Interest on borrowings is based on the rate, as selected by us from the following options (with all capitalized terms having the meanings provided in the credit agreement):
•the Applicable Floating Rate Margin in effect, plus the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the NYFRB plus 0.5%, (iii) the Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.10% or (iv) 1.00%;
•the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus (i) for borrowings in U.S. dollars, the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10%, or (ii) for borrowings in euros, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate; or
•in limited circumstances, the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus 0.10%.
The facility requires us to satisfy two financial covenants as defined in the credit agreement:
•A maximum net leverage ratio covenant, which is measured by the ratio of (x) Indebtedness less Unrestricted Cash to (y) trailing four fiscal quarter Adjusted EBITDA and is required to be less than 3.5:1. In the context of certain permitted acquisitions, we have the ability, subject to certain conditions, to increase the maximum ratio to 4.0:1 for four consecutive quarters.
•A minimum interest coverage ratio covenant, which is measured by the ratio of (y) trailing four quarter Adjusted EBITDA to (z) trailing four quarter Interest Expense and is required to be no less than 3.0:1.
The facility does not include any restrictions on cash dividend payments or share repurchases.
Our subsidiary Smith System Manufacturing Company guarantees all obligations under the facility, and we have pledged 65% of the voting interests in our subsidiary Steelcase Holding SAS to secure all obligations under the facility.
As of February 28, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility, our ability to borrow under the facility was not limited, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility. As of February 23, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility, there were $0.1 in letters of credit reducing our availability and we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.
Other Credit Facilities
As of February 28, 2025, we have unsecured uncommitted short-term credit facilities with various financial institutions with up to $4.0 of U.S. dollar obligations and up to $19.7 of foreign currency obligations available for working capital purposes. Interest rates are variable and determined at the time of borrowing. These credit facilities may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. There were no borrowings on these facilities as of February 28, 2025 or February 23, 2024.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
Substantially all of our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in defined contribution retirement plans, primarily the Steelcase Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”). Company contributions, including discretionary profit sharing and 401(k) matching contributions, and employee 401(k) contributions fund the Retirement Plan. All contributions are made to a trust which is held for the sole benefit of participants.
Total expense under all defined contribution retirement plans was $44.6 for 2025, $38.4 for 2024 and $26.1 for 2023. We expect to fund approximately $46.4 related to our defined contribution plans in 2026, including funding related to our 2025 discretionary profit sharing contributions.
Post-Retirement Medical Benefits
We maintain post-retirement benefit plans that provide medical and life insurance benefits to certain North American-based retirees and eligible dependents. The plans were frozen to new participants in 2003. We accrue the cost of post-retirement benefits during the service periods of employees based on actuarial calculations for each plan. These plans are unfunded. Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for these benefit obligations. See Note 10 for additional information.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Our defined benefit pension plans include various qualified foreign retirement plans as well as domestic non-qualified supplemental retirement plans that are limited to a select group of management approved by the Compensation Committee. The benefit plan obligations for the non-qualified supplemental retirement plans are primarily related to the Steelcase Inc. Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan. This plan, which is unfunded, was frozen to new participants in 2016, and the benefits were capped for existing participants. In 2023, we entered into a contract with an insurer to annuitize our U.K. defined benefit pension plan, covering 100% of the membership in the plan. This agreement resulted in an exchange of plan assets for an annuity that covers our future projected benefit obligations. In 2025, all benefit obligations to the plan's participants were irrevocably transferred, which resulted in the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans (excluding our investments in COLI policies) is as follows:

The measurement dates for our retiree benefit plans are consistent with our fiscal year end. Accordingly, we select discount rates to measure our benefit obligations that are consistent with market indices at the end of each year. In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, we consider the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets based on the specific allocation of assets for each plan, an analysis of current market conditions and the views of leading financial advisors and economists, as applicable.
The assumed healthcare cost trend was 7.22% for pre-age 65 retirees as of February 28, 2025, gradually declining to 4.50% after eight years. As of February 23, 2024, the assumed healthcare cost trend was 6.83% for pre-age 65 retirees, gradually declining to 4.50% after seven years. Post-age 65 trend rates are not applicable as our plan provides a fixed subsidy for post-age 65 benefits.

Plan Assets
In 2023, we entered into a contract with an insurer to annuitize our U.K. defined benefit pension plan, covering 100% of the membership in the plan. This agreement, or "buy-in", resulted in an exchange of plan assets for an annuity that covered our future projected benefit obligations. The initial value of the asset associated with this contract was equal to the premium paid to the insurer to secure the insurance policy. The value of the asset was adjusted each reporting period for changes in financial assumptions, such as discount rates and inflation indices. The asset represented a Level 3 measurement as there were no observable inputs with the valuation of the contract.
In 2025, all benefit obligations to the plan's participants were irrevocably transferred, which resulted in the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We recorded a $15.2 non-cash pension settlement charge in Other income (expense), net and a $3.4 discrete tax benefit in Income tax expense. As of February 28, 2025, the plan assets comprise of cash only, which represents a Level 1 measurement.
Our pension plans’ weighted-average investment allocation strategies and weighted-average target asset allocations by asset category as of February 28, 2025 and February 23, 2024 are reflected in the following table:

Multi-Employer Pension Plan
One of our subsidiaries, SC Transport Inc., previously contributed to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the "Fund"), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising under a collective bargaining agreement that covered SC Transport Inc. employees and retirees. Under current law, an employer that withdraws or partially withdraws from a multi-employer pension plan may incur a withdrawal liability to the plan, which represents the portion of the plan’s underfunding that is allocable to the withdrawing employer under very complex actuarial and allocation rules.
In 2019, the Fund asserted that SC Transport Inc.'s absence of hiring additional union employees over the past ten years constituted an adverse selection practice under the Fund and, if not remedied, would result in an assessment of a withdrawal liability. As a result of the Fund's assertion, SC Transport Inc. recorded an $11.2 charge related to its estimated future obligations under a withdrawal from the Fund to be paid out in installments over a period of up to 20 years. The withdrawal liability was discounted using a rate of 3.5%. The balance of the liability as of February 28, 2025 was $8.7.
In 2020, SC Transport Inc. withdrew from the Fund, and the Fund issued a final assessment of our withdrawal liability. We appealed the amount of the assessment by the Fund. In 2024, we prevailed in arbitration on our claim, and the Fund appealed the arbitrator’s decision. The amount that may ultimately be required to settle any potential obligation may be lower or higher than our estimated liability, which we will adjust if needed, if and when additional information becomes available.

Deferred Compensation Programs
We maintain four deferred compensation programs. The first deferred compensation program is closed to new entrants. In this program, certain employees elected to defer a portion of their compensation in return for a fixed benefit to be paid in installments beginning when the participant reaches age 70. Under the second plan, certain employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation. The third plan is intended to restore retirement benefits that would otherwise be paid under the Retirement Plan but are precluded as a result of the limitations on eligible compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17). Under the fourth plan, our non-employee directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their board retainer and committee fees. The deferred amounts in the last three plans earn a return based on the investment option selected. These deferred compensation obligations are unfunded.
Deferred compensation expense (gain), which represents annual participant earnings on amounts that have been deferred, and expense (gains) related to restoration retirement benefits, were $5.5 for 2025, $7.7 for 2024 and $(2.9) for 2023.

Terms of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
The holders of common stock are generally entitled to vote as a single class on all matters upon which shareholders have a right to vote, subject to the requirements of applicable laws and the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock to vote as a separate class. Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote, and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to 10 votes. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into a share of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (i) at the option of the holder at any time, (ii) upon transfer to a person or entity which is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in our Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended), (iii) with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock acquired after February 20, 1998, at such time as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or charitable organization holding such shares ceases to be controlled or owned 100% by Permitted Transferees and (iv) on the date on which the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding is less than 15% of all of the then outstanding shares of common stock (calculated without regard to voting rights).
Except for the voting and conversion features described above, the terms of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are generally similar. That is, the holders are entitled to equal dividends when declared by our Board of Directors and generally will receive the same per share consideration in the event of a merger and be treated on an equal per share basis in the event of a liquidation or winding up of Steelcase Inc. In addition, we are not entitled to issue additional shares of Class B Common Stock, or issue options, rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of Class B Common Stock, except that we may make a pro rata offer to all holders of common stock of rights to purchase additional shares of the class of common stock held by them, and any dividend payable in common stock will be paid in the form of Class A Common Stock to Class A holders and Class B Common Stock to Class B holders. Neither class of stock may be split, divided or combined unless the other class is proportionally split, divided or combined.
Preferred Stock
Our Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize our Board of Directors, without any vote or action by our shareholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock up to the limit of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the voting rights, dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series.

As of February 28, 2025, the valuation allowances of $10.8 related to foreign deferred tax assets. In updating our assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets, we considered the following factors:
•recent financial performance, including cumulative losses where applicable,
•the predictability of future income during the relevant carryforward period,
•prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could be implemented to utilize the deferred tax assets and
•the effect of reversing taxable temporary differences.
Based on our evaluation of these factors, particularly cumulative losses, we were unable to assert that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to a manufacturing facility in China and sales offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Mexico and Morocco would be realized as of February 28, 2025.
We have the ability to repatriate foreign subsidiary earnings to our U.S. parent without incurring additional U.S. federal income tax beyond foreign currency exchange impacts. We have recorded deferred income taxes related to withholding and other taxes where appropriate on earnings of subsidiaries not expected to be permanently reinvested. However, we have not recorded deferred taxes on any remaining historical outside basis differences in non-U.S. subsidiaries, as we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment of those basis differences.

Future tax benefits for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. It is considered more likely than not that a benefit of $35.9 will be realized on these net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or various tax, business and other planning strategies available to us will enable utilization of the carryforwards. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are recorded to the extent realization of these carryforwards is not more likely than not.
Uncertain Tax Positions
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include: the U.S. 2024 and 2025, Canada 2021 through 2025, France 2020 through 2025 and Germany 2015 through 2025. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances.
We are audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under the Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”). Under CAP, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service works with large business taxpayers to identify and resolve issues prior to the filing of a tax return. Accordingly, we record minimal liabilities for U.S. federal uncertain tax positions.
We recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in income tax expense, and these amounts were not material in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

Balance as of end of period | $ | 2.2 |  |  | $ | 2.0 |  |  | $ | 2.0 |  |

We have taken tax positions in a non-U.S. jurisdiction that do not meet the more likely than not test required under the uncertain tax position accounting guidance. Since the tax positions have increased net operating loss carryforwards, the underlying deferred tax asset is shown net of a $2.2 liability for uncertain tax positions as of February 28, 2025. No other material amounts are recorded as a liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2, if favorably resolved, would be recorded as an income tax benefit. We do not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change due to expiring statutes or audit activity in the next twelve months.
17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the issuance of share-based compensation awards to employees and members of our Board of Directors. As of February 28, 2025, there were 5,526,211 shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for future issuance under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
A variety of awards may be granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, phantom shares and other share-based awards. Our Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Incentive Compensation Plan at its discretion subject to certain provisions as stipulated within the plan.
In the event of a "change in control", as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan,
•any performance-based conditions imposed on outstanding awards will be deemed to be, immediately prior to the change in control, the greater of (1) the applicable performance achieved through the date of the change in control or (2) the target level of performance; and
•all restrictions imposed on all outstanding awards of restricted stock units and performance units will lapse if either (1) the awards are assumed by an acquirer or successor and the awardee experiences a qualifying termination during the two-year period following the change in control or (2) the awards are not assumed by an acquirer or successor.
Share-based awards outstanding under the Incentive Compensation Plan as of February 28, 2025 are as follows:

Total Outstanding Awards | February 28, 2025
Performance units (1) | 2,104,516 |  |
Restricted stock units | 3,048,957 |  |
Total outstanding awards | 5,153,473 |  |

________________________
(1)This amount represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued under outstanding performance unit awards; however, the actual number of shares which may be issued will be determined based on the satisfaction of certain conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower.

Performance Units
In 2025, we issued 465,300 performance units ("PSUs") to certain employees, which are earned over the period of 2025 through 2027 (the "2025 PSUs"). Of these PSUs, 372,240 are earned based on performance conditions, and 93,060 are earned based on a market condition. The performance conditions and market condition for these PSUs were established by the Compensation Committee in 2025, and thus the 2025 PSUs were considered granted in 2025.
In 2024 and 2023, we issued PSUs to certain employees which are earned over a three-year performance period based on performance conditions established annually by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of the applicable fiscal year, as follows:
•767,600 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2024 through 2026 (the "2024 PSUs") and
•428,700 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2023 through 2025 (the "2023 PSUs").
The number of PSUs earned under the 2024 PSUs and the 2023 PSUs are modified based on a market condition. When the performance conditions for a fiscal year are established for these PSUs, one-third of the PSUs issued are considered granted. Therefore, each of the three fiscal years within the performance period is considered an individual tranche of the award (referred to as "Tranche 1," "Tranche 2" and "Tranche 3," respectively). As of February 28, 2025, the 2024 PSUs and 2023 PSUs were considered granted as follows:
•In 2025, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 2 of the 2024 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2023 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in 2025.
•In 2024, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2024 PSUs and Tranche 2 of the 2023 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in 2024.
•In 2023, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2023 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranche was considered granted in 2023.
Once granted, the PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets over the remaining performance period. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the performance period, the PSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible. The awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.
The expense for PSUs is determined as follows:
•For PSUs earned based on performance conditions only, the expense is determined based on the probability that the performance conditions will be met and the grant date fair value. The fair value is equal to the closing price of shares of our Class A Common Stock on the grant date.
•For PSUs earned based on a market condition only, the expense is determined based on the grant date fair value of the market condition. The fair value is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
•For PSUs earned based on performance conditions and modified based on a market condition, the expense is determined based on the probability that the performance conditions will be met and the grant date fair value of the market condition. The fair value is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
The Monte Carlo simulation model used the following assumptions:

| 2025 PSUs | 2024 PSUs | 2023 PSUs
Tranche 2 | Tranche 1 | Tranche 3 | Tranche 2 | Tranche 1
Risk-free interest rate (1) | 4.7 | % |  | 4.9 | % |  | 3.7 | % |  | 5.2 | % |  | 4.0 | % |  | 2.6 | % |
Expected term | 3 years |  | 2 years |  | 3 years |  | 1 year |  | 2 years |  | 3 years |
Estimated volatility (2) | 38.5 | % |  | 42.4 | % |  | 44.1 | % |  | 38.9 | % |  | 37.8 | % |  | 52.2 | % |

After completion of the performance period, the number of PSUs earned will be issued as shares of Class A Common Stock. Based on actual results, the 2023 PSUs were earned at 112.1% of the target level, as modified, and 456,578 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to participants under such awards. The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that ultimately may be issued under PSUs that have been granted where the performance period has not been completed ranged from 0 to 2,104,516 shares as of February 28, 2025.
A dividend equivalent is calculated based on the actual number of PSUs earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned PSUs had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash.
The 2025 PSU activity is as follows:

As of February 28, 2025, there was $4.1 of remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
The total fair value of PSUs vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $4.8, $4.9 and $2.1, respectively. The fair value was determined based upon the closing price of shares of our Class A Common Stock on the date that the Compensation Committee certified the awards.

Restricted Stock Units
During 2025, we awarded 1,186,304 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse up to three years after the date of grant, at which time RSUs are issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the shares on the grant date. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the service period for awards that are considered retirement-eligible, the RSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible. Typically, these awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.
The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

19. ACQUISITIONS
HALCON
In 2023, we acquired HALCON, a Minnesota-based designer and manufacturer of precision-tailored wood furniture for the workplace. The transaction included the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of HALCON for $127.5 less customer deposits of $24.3, plus an adjustment of $1.9 for working capital. The acquisition was funded using a combination of cash on-hand and borrowings under our global committed bank facility. An additional amount of $2.0 is also payable to a seller based upon continued employment over a three-year period, which is being expensed over the service period on a straight-line basis.
Tangible assets and liabilities of HALCON were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis, and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $51.8 related to identifiable intangible assets, $36.6 related to goodwill and $16.7 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of property, plant and equipment of $30.6, working capital (primarily inventory of $12.8) and customer deposits of $24.3. The goodwill was recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of HALCON expected to be driven by new product development, geographic expansion and the integration of HALCON products into our dealer network. Intangible assets are principally related to dealer relationships, the HALCON trademark and internally developed know-how and designs, which are being amortized over periods ranging from 9 to 10 years from the date of acquisition. We also acquired a backlog of orders which shipped throughout 2023. The purchase price allocation for the HALCON acquisition was completed during 2024.
The following table summarizes the purchased identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:

Other Intangible Assets | Useful Life (Years) | Fair Value
Dealer relationships | 10.0 |  | $ | 21.5 |  |
Trademark | 9.0 |  | 14.0 |  |
Know-how and designs | 9.0 |  | 12.0 |  |
Backlog | 0.7 |  | 4.3 |  |
|  |  | $ | 51.8 |  |

The fair values of the purchased intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense for the next five years as of February 28, 2025:

20. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The operating segments regularly reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer in the capacity of CODM are (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and (3) Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific serves customers in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and other countries in Southeast Asia. Our CODM compares budget to actual results and year-over-year variances for revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the segments and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Total assets by segment include manufacturing and other assets associated with each segment.
For purposes of segment reporting externally, we have aggregated the EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments as an International segment based upon their similarity in quantitative and qualitative characteristics as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. We evaluated the economic similarity of these operating segments including patterns and trends for revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) in addition to the similarity in the nature of products and services, types of customers, and production and distribution processes in these regions. We concluded that these operating segments met the criteria for aggregation consistent with the basic principles and objectives of segment reporting described in ASC 280.
The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture, interior architectural, textile and surface imaging products that are marketed to corporate, government, education, healthcare and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, AMQ, Coalesse, Designtex, HALCON, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.
