The optionsmajority of revenue presented as "Net sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income is the result of contracts with customers. All other sources of revenue are not material to the Corporation's results of operations.

Sales by channel type are subject to similar economic factors and units granted bymarket conditions regardless of the channel under which the product is sold. See “Note 18. Reportable Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about operating segments.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation had fair valueshas contract assets consisting of funds paid to certain office furniture dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s products. These contract assets are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. For contracts less than one year, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of customer deposits and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

Interest Rate Swap
In March 2016, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value expiring January 2021. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was an asset of $2.2 million, which is reflected in "Other Assets"line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2017Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported:

Stock Repurchase
During the nineCorporation prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligations. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 29, 2019 that was included in the December 29, 2018 contract liabilities balance was $0.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

Performance Obligations
The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of office furniture and hearth products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 2017,days of invoicing.

The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancelable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation repurchased 1,300,936 shareshas elected the practical expedient permitted in the revenue accounting standard not to disclose the unsatisfied performance obligation as of its common stock at a costJune 29, 2019. The backlog is typically fulfilled within one or two quarters.

Significant Judgments
The amount of approximately $52.9 million. During the nine months ended October 1, 2016,consideration the Corporation repurchased 608,500 sharesreceives and revenue recognized varies with changes in rebate and marketing program incentives, as well as early pay discounts, offered to customers. The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by variable consideration for rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of its common stockfunds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at a costthe end of approximately $30.4 million. As of September 30, 2017, $84.0 million ofeach year when sales volumes and the Corporation's Board of Directors' ("Board") current repurchase authorization remained unspent.impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded as the programs typically end near fiscal year end.

Dividend
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the Corporation paid dividends to shareholders of $0.845 and $0.815 per share, respectively.

Note 6.  Leases

The Corporation implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), at the beginning of fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and implemented as of the first quarter 2019.

Implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 increased retained earnings by $3.0 million. This included an increase of $3.3 million driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred gain on a 2018 sale-leaseback directly into retained earnings. An offsetting decrease of $0.3 million was driven by the calculation of beginning ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Corporation recognized $73.8 million in ROU assets and $82.0 million in lease liabilities as a result of the implementation of this standard.

The Corporation leases certain showrooms, office space, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, retail stores and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of twelve months endedor less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As none of the leases provide an implicit rate, the Corporation uses a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Corporation uses separate discount rates for its U.S. operations and overseas operations.

11





Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Corporation's sole discretion. Certain real estate leases include an option to terminate the lease term earlier than the specified lease term for a fee. These options are not included as part of the lease term unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Many of the Corporation's real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. While not significant, certain equipment leases have variable lease payments based on machine hours and certain real estate leases have rate changes based on the Consumer Price Index. The Corporation's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

The Corporation has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component.

On occasion, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. This sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases for office furniture showrooms and is not significant.

Leases included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet consisted of the following (in thousands):

Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected

The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting ASU 2016-02. It has been applied to all leases active on or after December 30, 2018, the start of the Corporation's fiscal year.

The Corporation elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02:

The Corporation has made an accounting election by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of assets except for embedded leases.
The Corporation has elected not to restate prior period financial statements for the effects of the new standard. Required ASC 840 disclosures for periods prior to 2019 have been provided.
The Corporation has elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised.
The Corporation has elected for all asset classes to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that at the acquisition date have a remaining lease term of twelve months or less.

Presented below are the final disclosures utilizing ASC 840 treatment which was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018:

As part of the Corporation's continued efforts to drive efficiency and simplification, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2018, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million were reflected in "Proceeds from sale and license

of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in 2018. In accordance with ASC 840, the $5.1 million gain on the sale of the facility was deferred and was being amortized as a reduction to rent expense evenly over the term of the lease.

In accordance with the ASU No. 2016-02 adoption, the remaining unamortized deferred gain related to the sale-leaseback as of December 29, 2018 was recognized directly in "Retained earnings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the first quarter of 2019 as a cumulative-effect adjustment as the Corporation transferred control of the asset.

Note 8.  Product Warranties


The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. ReservesAllowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.


A warranty reserveallowance is determined by recording a specific reserveallowance for known warranty issues and an additional reserveallowance for unknown claimsissues expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience.  Actual claimscosts incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve.allowance.  Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands):

The effective tax rate was minimally higher in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first nine months was principally due to the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-09 related to stock compensation in the first quarter of 2017. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when awards vest or are settled. See "Note 14. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation's tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes a tax benefit of $1.0 million related to the impact of this standard.

Note 11.  Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, variable-rate debt obligations, and deferred stock-based compensation.  The marketable securities are comprised of money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1.  Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

Financial instruments measured at fair value were as follows (in thousands):

TheAs of June 29, 2019, the Corporation’s revolving credit facility borrowings were under the current credit agreement was entered into January 6, 2016 and matures January 6, 2021.on April 20, 2018 with a scheduled maturity of April 20, 2023. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion whichof $0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of $1.2 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


As of September 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, there was $307$186 million outstanding under the $400$450 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility of which $295 million was classified asis considered long-term as the Corporation does not expectassumes no obligation to repay any of the borrowings within a year. Because the Corporation expects, but is not required, to repay the remaining $12 millionamounts borrowed in the next twelve months, it was classified as current.months. Based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the Corporation can access the full remaining $264 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.


TheIn addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of committed funding from whichdaily operating capital for the Corporation finances its plannedand provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures, repurchases of common stock, and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchasesacquisitions.

In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has $100 million of common stock,borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreements, the Corporation issued $50 million of seven-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22 percent, due May 31, 2025, and certain working capital needs.  $50 million of ten-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40 percent, due May 31, 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, and is amortizing them over the terms of the private placement note agreements. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreements. As of June 29, 2019 the debt issuance costs balance of $0.6 million is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


The credit agreement contains a number ofand private placement notes both contain financial and non-financial covenants. The covenants under both are substantially the same. Non-compliance with covenants inunder the credit agreementagreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, with respect to the revolving credit facility, and/or increase the cost of borrowing.


Certain covenants
17




Covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including:


a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and
a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.


The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0.  Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash nonrecurring charges, and all non-cash items increasingthat increase or decrease net income.  As of September 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement.  The Corporation expects to remain in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement over the next twelve months.

The Corporation's effective tax rate remained the same in the three months ended June 29, 2019 compared to the same period last year. The effective tax rate was higher in the six months ended June 29, 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance for certain foreign jurisdictions in 2018.

On February 14, 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which provides entities an option to reclassify stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") within accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for each period in which the effects of the Act is recorded. ASU 2018-02 does not modify the existing requirement to allocate the income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates directly to continuing operations as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted.

The Corporation adopted in Q1 2019 and applied the portfolio approach of accounting related to releasing income tax effects from AOCI. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, the Corporation reclassified $0.7 million of federal income taxes that were stranded in AOCI due to the Act to retained earnings. No income tax effects were reclassified in the three months ended June 29, 2019.

Interest Rate Swap
In March 2016, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value expiring January 2021. As of June 29, 2019, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was an asset of $1.1 million, which is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrecognized change in value of the interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $0.8 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 16.  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019 and was implemented using a modified-retrospective transition approach. The Corporation selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, business process, systems, controls, and disclosures, were identified and implemented as of the first quarter 2019. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial impacts, accounting elections, and further information.


22




In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new standard allows entities to reclassify certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The new standard became effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019. The standard requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for the previously recorded ineffectiveness included in retained earnings related to existing net investment hedges as of the date of adoption. The Corporation did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as no net investment hedges existed as of the ASU adoption date. New hedging relationships entered after the adoption date have been presented in the financial statements using the guidance of the ASU. The standard did not have a material effect on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 17.  Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies


The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of $19approximately $21 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations.  The Corporation utilizes trade letters of credit and banker's acceptances in the amount of $5approximately $3 million to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker's acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.


The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims.  It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows, or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.


Note 14.  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is intended to simplify accounting for share based employment awards to employees. Changes include: all excess tax benefits/deficiencies should be recognized as income tax expense/benefit; entities can make elections on how to account for forfeitures; and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the cash flow statement. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The primary impact of implementation was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the Corporation's provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excess tax benefits will be recorded in the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a prospective basis. Prior to fiscal 2017, the tax benefits or shortfalls were recorded in financing cash flows. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares in the financing section had no impact to any of the periods presented in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. The ongoing impact of the new standard resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in the Corporation's provision for income taxes of $0.0 million and $1.0 million as a net tax benefit for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Prior to the adoption of this standard, those amounts would have been recognized as an adjustment to "Additional paid-in capital" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The new standard is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the previous guidance of measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As the Corporation previously calculated net realizable value when measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market, this standard had an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The new standard is to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the step 2 requirement. Instead, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard is effective for fiscal 2020, but the Corporation has early adopted the standard in 2017. The Corporation has not been required to test for goodwill impairment through the third quarter of 2017.

Note 15.18.  Reportable Segment Information


Management views the Corporation as being in two reportable segments based on industries: office furniture and hearth products, with the former being the principal business segment.


The aggregated office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal and wood commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems, and other related products.  The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of gas, electric, wood, and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories, principally for the home.




For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses.  These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income, and interest expense.operations.  Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost.  In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, IT infrastructure, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.


No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

Note 16. Acquisitions and Divestitures

OFM
On January 29, 2016, the Corporation acquired OFM, an office furniture company, with annual sales of approximately $30 million at a purchase price of $34.1 million, net of cash acquired, in an all cash transaction. The Corporation finalized the allocation of the purchase price during fourth quarter 2016. There were $15 million of intangible assets other than goodwill associated with this acquisition with estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years with amortization recorded on a straight-line basis based on the projected cash flow associated with the respective intangible assets. There was $14 million of goodwill associated with this acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Office Furniture Dealerships
As part of the Corporation's ongoing business strategy, it continues to acquire and divest small office furniture dealerships. There was no change to Goodwill in the first nine months of 2017 as a result of this activity. Goodwill increased approximately $2 million in fiscal 2016 as a result of this activity.

Artcobell
The Corporation completed the sale of Artcobell, a K-12 education furniture business, on December 31, 2016. A pre-tax non-cash charge of approximately $23 million and a $10 million long-term note receivable, which was included in "Other Assets" in the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheets in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, were recorded in relation to the sale. Artcobell had been included as part of the Corporation's office furniture segment. As of September 30, 2017, $0.8 million of the note receivable is current and is included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.




Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion of the Corporation's historical results of operations and of its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation and related notes. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this section.section for further information.


Overview


The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation is a leading global office furniture manufacturer and the leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a split and focused, decentralized business model to deliver value to customers via various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth. 


Net sales for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 2.52019 were $526.0 million, a decrease of 3.2 percent, to $599.5 million when compared to net sales of $543.6 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2016.2018.  The change was driven by an increasea 3.4 percent decrease in both the office furniture andsegment, along with a 2.7 percent decline in the hearth products segments. Office furniture segment sales increased in the North American contract, supplies-driven, and international businesses, but were partially offset by a decrease of $42.5 million from the net impact of acquisitionssegment. The closure and divestitures of small office furniture companies. The hearth products segment saw an increasecompanies resulted in a net decrease in sales of $5.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to the Corporation in the new construction business duesecond quarter of 2019 was $15.8 million compared to growth in single family housing and an increasenet income of $18.6 million in the retail business due to an increase in pellet appliance demand.

Gross profit percentage for thesecond quarter decreased from prior year levelsof 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable product and business mix, input cost inflation,lower sales volume and higher restructuring and transitioninput costs, partially offset by higher volumeprice realization and the impact of divestitures.improved operational performance.

Total selling and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales due to lower incentive based compensation and the impact of divestitures, partially offset by strategic investments.

The Corporation recorded $2.3 million of restructuring costs and $3.6 million of transition costs in the third quarter of 2017 in connection with the previously announced closures of the hearth manufacturing facilities in Paris, Kentucky and Colville, Washington and the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana and structural realignments in China and between office furniture facilities in Muscatine, Iowa. Specific items incurred include accelerated depreciation and production move costs. Of these charges, $5.1 million was included in cost of sales. The Corporation also recorded a $6.0 million nonrecurring gain from the sale and license of an intangible asset and a $0.8 million gain on the sale of a closed facility in the third quarter.

Real Estate Transaction - In the first quarter of 2018, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million are reflected in "Proceeds from sale of property, plant, equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See "Note 6. Leases" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities
Long-Term Debt - The Corporation maintains a revolving credit facility as the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, and seasonal working capital needs. Cash flows included in financing activities represent periodic borrowings and repayments under the revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation issued $100 million of private placement notes. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Additionally, based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization generation, the Corporation can access the full remaining $264 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.


Contractual Obligations

Commitments and Contingencies


See "Note 13.17. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments affecting the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates.  The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  A summary of the more significant accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  29, 2018.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires companies to reevaluate when revenue is recorded on a transaction based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as goods or services are delivered. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates. The FASB has recently issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients to provide further clarification and guidance. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2018, and allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Corporation has completed a review of the impact of the new standard and has determined there will be no material changes in the way the Corporation recognizes revenue. The Corporation will adopt the standard in fiscal 2018 using the modified-retrospective approach, which will not have a material impact on the results of operations. The Corporation continues to review accounting policies and disclosures to determine changes needed to comply with this new standard, as well as identify changes to the Corporation's business processes, systems, and controls needed to support adoption of this ASU. The Corporation expects all necessary changes required by the new standard will be identified and implemented by the beginning of fiscal 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Changes to the lessee accounting model may change key balance sheet measures and ratios, potentially affecting analyst expectations and compliance with financial covenants. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019, but may be adopted at any time, and requires a modified-retrospective transition. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.



In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). The new standardTopic 326 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses by requiring consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information and is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments. The new standardTopic 326 becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2020 and requires a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect the standardTopic 326 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard provides classification guidance on eight cash flow issues including debt prepayment, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlements of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2018. The Corporation anticipates the standard will have an immaterial effect on consolidated statements of cash flows.
30




In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new standard requires an entity with defined benefit and postretirement benefit plans to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. All other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented outside of operating income, if a subtotal is presented. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively to each period presented and becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2018. The Corporation anticipates the standard will have an immaterial effect on consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
