Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by MillerKnoll, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes the disclosures made in this document are adequate with respect to interim reporting requirements. Unless otherwise noted or indicated by the context, all references to "MillerKnoll," "we," "our," "Company" and similar references are to MillerKnoll, Inc., its predecessors, and controlled subsidiaries. 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 3, 2022. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 3, 2023 ("fiscal 2023"). These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 28, 2022 ("fiscal 2022").
Intercompany Transactions All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements of equity method investments are not consolidated.
Segment Reorganization
Segment Reorganization
Effective as of May 29, 2022, the beginning of fiscal year 2023, the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in the reportable segments. The Company has recast historical results to reflect this change. See Note 15 "Operating Segments" for additional information.
Fiscal Period, Policy The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to May 31. The fiscal year ended May 28, 2022 ("fiscal 2022") was a 52 week period while the fiscal year ending June 3, 2023 ("fiscal 2023") will be a 53 week period. The first quarter of fiscal 2022 contained 13 weeks and the first quarter of fiscal 2023 contained 14 weeks.
Change in Accounting Principle and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Change in Accounting Principle
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company elected to change the method of accounting for the cost of certain inventories within the Americas segment from the last-in, first-out method (“LIFO”) to first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”). With this change
there are no longer any inventories accounted for under the LIFO method. The Company has retrospectively adjusted the Consolidated Financial Statements for the prior period presented to reflect this change. The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements. We have assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are not relevant to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact.
Inventories, net Inventories are primarily valued using the first-in first-out method.
Share-Based Compensation Certain Company equity-based compensation awards contain provisions that allow for continued vesting into retirement. Stock-based awards are considered fully vested for expense attribution purposes when the employee's retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, the Company's strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses. Foreign currency exposures typically arise from net liability or asset exposures in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries. Foreign currency forward contracts generally settle within 30 days and are not used for trading purposes.
These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of the reporting period in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The balance sheet classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is to "Other current assets" for unrealized gains and to "Other accrued liabilities" for unrealized losses. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is to "Other (income) expense, net", for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and its overall cost of borrowing. The Company's interest rate swap agreements exchange variable rate interest payments for fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is used to measure interest to be paid or received. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges at inception and the facts and circumstances of the hedged relationships remain consistent with the initial quantitative effectiveness assessment in that the hedged instruments remain an effective accounting hedge as of December 3, 2022. Since a designated derivative meets hedge accounting criteria, the fair value of the hedge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax." The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is immediately recognized in earnings. The interest rate swap agreements are assessed for hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis.
