NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. 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.


2.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In ~~August~~February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~("FASB"~~(“FASB”) issued Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Update ~~("ASU"~~(“ASU”) No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), to address the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on tax effects presented in other comprehensive income. The amended guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Act. We adopted this guidance in Q1 2020 and elected to not reclassify these amounts to retained earnings as the effect on our consolidated financial statements was not material.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this guidance in Q1 2020, and the adoption did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The core principle of the new lease standard is to increase the decision usefulness and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease obligations on the balance sheet with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. We adopted this guidance and related amendments in Q1 2020 and it resulted in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 for additional information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715-20, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General. The amended guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include (a) the amounts in accumulated ~~Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI")~~other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year and (b) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures include descriptions of significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures but ~~will~~is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,~~ ~~Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)~~, to address the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") on tax effects presented in other comprehensive income. The amended guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Act. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,~~ ~~Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)~~, to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost. The amended guidance requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement, and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. We adopted the amended guidance in Q1 2019 using the practical expedient which allows entities to use information previously disclosed in their pension and other post-retirement benefit plans footnote as the basis to apply the retrospective presentation requirements.

~~The amounts reclassified in Q1 2018 include $7.1 of charges related to annuitizing three of the Company's smaller defined benefit plans. There was no impact to~~ ~~Net income~~ ~~on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of this accounting change.~~

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, ~~2019, with early adoption permitted for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.~~2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of ~~the adoption of~~ this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~, which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,~~ which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The amendments in this ASU address the rate implicit in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments, among other things. In July 2018, the FASB issued~~ASU 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements,~~ which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. We expect the adoption of the issued lease guidance will result in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we are currently evaluating the extent of this increase.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, which establishes a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. We adopted the updated guidance in Q1 2019 using the modified retrospective method, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements except for enhanced disclosures. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those related to our accounting policies, controls and disclosures, have been identified and implemented as of the beginning of 2019. See Note 3 for additional information.

3.	REVENUE

~~Accounting Policies~~

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. In cases where we sell directly to customers, control is typically transferred upon delivery. 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 good 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.

Contract Balances

At times, we receive ~~deposits~~payments from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of a contract liability (Customer deposits) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the Customer deposits balance during the nine months ended November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 are as follows:



	Customer Deposits
Balance as of February 22, 2019	$	20.0
Increases due to deposits received	23.3

Increases due to deposits received, net of other adjustments 21.4

Revenue recognized (25.3 )
Balance as of November 23, 2018 $ 24.3

~~Practical Expedients Elected~~

~~Our sales contracts are typically less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components. Therefore, we elected to apply the following practical expedients:~~

~~We recognize the incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred.~~

~~We recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for any significant financing components.~~

~~These elections had no effect on our financial statements.~~


4.	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.

6.	FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value onin the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was ~~$321.4~~$484.1 and ~~$295.0~~$487.0 as of November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 and February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019, 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 ~~$334~~$540 and ~~$316~~$492 as of November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 and February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

~~Assets and liabilities measured at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of~~ ~~November 23, 2018~~ ~~and~~ ~~February 23, 2018~~ ~~are summarized below:~~

8.	~~SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS~~

On July 12, 2018, we amended our $125 global committed bank facility, which expires in 2022. The amendment increased the aggregate unsecured revolving loan commitment under the credit agreement to $200, and we retained the ability to further increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $75, by obtaining at least one commitment from one or more lenders. As of November 23, 2018, our total borrowings under the facility were $27.5. Current outstanding borrowings under the facility have an effective interest rate of 3.3%.

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, between the following two options:

~~the Eurocurrency rate plus the applicable margin as set forth in the credit agreement, for interest periods of one, two, three or six months; or~~

for floating rate loans (as defined in the credit agreement), the greatest of the prime rate, the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and the Eurocurrency rate for a one month interest period plus 1%, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the credit agreement.

~~Up to $25 of the aggregate commitment can be borrowed under a swing line provision, at an agreed upon rate between the borrower and the swing line lender.~~

~~The facility continues to require us to satisfy two financial covenants:~~

A maximum leverage ratio covenant, which is measured by the ratio of (x) indebtedness, minus the amount, if any, of unrestricted cash in excess of $25, to (y) trailing four quarter adjusted EBITDA and is required to be less than 3:1. In the context of certain permitted acquisitions, we have a one-time ability, subject to certain conditions, to increase the maximum ratio to 3.25:1 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 3.5:1.

~~The facility does not include any restrictions on cash dividend payments or share repurchases. As of November 23, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.~~

The portion of inventories determined by the LIFO method was $107.4 and $96.9 as of November 22, 2019 and February 22, 2019, contributes to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the "Fund") based on an obligation arising from a collective bargaining agreement covering SC Transport Inc. employees and retirees. In Q3 2019, the Fund asserted that the subsidiary's absence of hiring additional union employees over the past ten years, coupled with restructuring of the subsidiary's business, constituted an adverse selection practice under the Fund and, if not remedied, will result in the assessment of a withdrawal liability. As a result of the Fund's assertion, SC Transport Inc. recorded a charge of $11.2, which is based on our best estimate from our analysis of available information and pension regulations which specify that the liability will 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 amount that may ultimately be required to settle any potential obligation may be lower or higher than our estimated liability, which we will adjust as needed, if and when additional information becomes available.respectively.


~~10.~~	~~INCOME TAXES~~

In Q4 2018, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which was effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affect 2018 and future periods. The following is a summary of the key corporate income tax provisions of the Tax Act:8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

~~reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%,~~

~~implemented a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed non-U.S. subsidiary earnings and generally eliminated U.S. federal corporate income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries,~~

~~included global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions, which impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations, and~~

included base-erosion and anti-abuse tax provisions, which eliminate the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations, and imposed a minimum tax if greater than regular tax.

For the three months ended November 23, 2018, we recorded a tax benefit of $1.0 to adjust previously-recorded provisional amounts related to the Tax Act, primarily related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The amounts we have recorded for the Tax Act remain provisional for the deemed repatriation tax, the remeasurement of deferred taxes, our reassessment of permanently reinvested earnings, uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances. These amounts may be impacted by further analysis and future clarification and guidance regarding available tax accounting methods and elections, earnings and profits computations, and state tax conformity to federal tax changes.

As of November 23, 2018, we were unable to reasonably estimate, and therefore have not recorded, deferred taxes with respect to the GILTI provisions. We have not yet determined our policy election with respect to whether to record deferred taxes on basis differences that are expected to affect the amount of GILTI inclusions upon reversal or to record the impact of the GILTI tax in the period in which that tax is incurred.

Accounting Policies

In Q1 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related amendments ("ASC 842") on a prospective basis. The effects of the initial application of ASC 842 did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing facilities, vehicles and equipment that expire at various dates through 2031. Certain lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours used) and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion. The 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.

The components of lease expense are as follows:



	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended

Practical Expedients Elected

We elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting ASC 842:

We elected not to 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 Q1 2020.

We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allowed us not to reassess (1) whether previously assessed contracts contain leases, (2) the classification of the leases as operating or finance and (3) the amount of initial direct costs associated with the leases.

We elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less.

We elected not to assess whether land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases are or contain a lease.

We elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised.

Orangebox

~~On September 19, 2018,~~In Q3 2019, we acquired Orangebox Group Limited ("Orangebox"), a ~~U.K.-based~~ manufacturer of task seating, architectural pods, privacy solutions and collaborative ~~furniture.~~furniture based in the United Kingdom ("U.K."). The transaction included the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Orangebox for $78.9 (or £60.0) less an adjustment for working capital of ~~$0.1~~$0.5 in an all-cash transaction. An additional $3.9 (or £3.0) is payable to one of the sellers over three years, contingent upon the achievement of certain business performance obligations. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under our global committed bank facility. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition relates to the expected ability to provide customers with a broader range of furniture designed to boost collaboration at work and ~~provide us with an engine to accelerate~~supplement our innovative product development.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Orangebox 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 $42.2 related to identifiable intangible assets, ~~$23.0~~$23.4 related to goodwill and ~~$17.5~~$16.7 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of working capital (primarily accounts receivable, inventory and current liabilities), property, plant and equipment (primarily the land, building and equipment of two manufacturing locations in the U.K.) and deferred tax liabilities. Goodwill was recorded in EMEA and the Americas segments in the amounts of $18.8 and ~~$4.2,~~$4.6, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for U.K. or U.S. income tax purposes. Intangible assets are principally related to dealer relationships, the Orangebox trade name and internally-developed know-how and designs, which will be amortized over periods ranging between 9 to 11 years.

The purchase ~~price allocation~~accounting for the Orangebox acquisition was ~~incomplete as of November 23, 2018.

Smith System

~~On July 12, 2018,~~In Q2 2019, we acquired Smith System Manufacturing Company ("Smith System"), a Texas-based manufacturer of desking, seating and storage for the pre-K-12 education market. The ~~total~~transaction included the purchase ~~price~~of all of the outstanding capital stock of Smith System for ~~the acquisition was~~ $140.0, payable in cash, plus a net adjustment for working capital of $8.4. In addition, we funded $5.0 to a third-party escrow account, which is payable to the seller at the end of two years based on continued employment. The acquisition was funded through a combination of domestic cash on-hand and short-term borrowings under our global credit facility.

Smith System is an industry leader in the U.S. pre-K-12 education market. The acquisition is expected to advance our growth strategy in the education and office markets particularly as it relates to learning environments and collaborative spaces. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of Smith System as we offer their products through our distribution network.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Smith System 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 $44.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $79.3 related to goodwill and $25.0 related to tangible assets, mainly consisting of working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventory and current liabilities. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes and is recorded in the Americas segment. Intangible assets are principally related to internally-developed know-how and designs, dealer relationships and the Smith System trade name, which will be amortized over periods ranging between 9 to 11 years.

~~AMQ~~

On December 26, 2017, we acquired AMQ Solutions ("AMQ"), a California-based provider of height-adjustable desking, benching, worktools and seating. In addition, we acquired certain assets of an affiliated company, Tricom Vision Limited. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $69.9, which was primarily funded by the liquidation of short-term investments. Up to an additional $5.0 is payable to the sellers contingent upon certain performance obligations being met over a two year period. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our reach within the industry by broadening our portfolio at lower price points. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists largely of economies of scale expected from integrating AMQ into our existing dealer network.

Tangible assets and liabilities of AMQ 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 $30.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $31.5 to goodwill and approximately $12.5 related to working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Intangibles are principally related to dealer relationships which will be amortized over 11 years.

In Q1 2019, we recorded measurement period adjustments of $0.5 related to a decrease in net working capital and a decrease of $0.2 to the contingent liability payable to the sellers for certain liabilities existing prior to the opening balance sheet date. These adjustments increased goodwill by $0.3, and all amounts referenced above are inclusive of these measurement period adjustments. No measurement period adjustments were recorded in Q2 2019 or Q3 2019.

The purchase price allocation for the AMQ acquisition was incomplete as of November 23, 2018. We are still evaluating certain working capital and deferred tax adjustments, as well as the reporting unit to which the goodwill resulting from the AMQ acquisition will be allocated for future impairment testing purposes.

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

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019. 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 specific date. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

This item contains a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measure used is organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. This measure is presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

Financial Summary

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate costs are reported as Corporate.

Overview

In Q3 ~~2019,~~2020, we reported ~~strong earnings~~revenue growth ~~compared to the prior year,~~of 6% and an operating income margin of 7.9%, driven by ~~strong~~the higher revenue ~~growth~~ and lower ~~operating expenses~~cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. ~~Revenue grew by 17% compared to the prior year,~~The revenue growth was driven by ~~revenue from the acquisitions and organic revenue growth across all segments driven by increased project business from both large and small customers. In~~ the Americas ~~our order~~and reflected strong industry growth, ~~has outpaced the industry over the trailing six months ended in October. The~~ benefits from pricing actions ~~implemented earlier~~and favorable timing of shipments. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 220 basis points (with 110 basis points attributable to the impact of a pension charge in the ~~year began~~prior year). The remaining improvement was driven by the realization of pricing actions, lower commodity costs (compared to ~~offset~~significant inflation in the prior year) and benefits from higher ~~commodity, freight and labor costs during~~volume. The results reflected our continued focus to drive growth through expanding our product offering while executing on initiatives to improve the ~~quarter.~~fitness of our cost structure.

Q3 ~~2019~~2020 Compared to Q3 ~~2018~~2019

We recorded net income of $54.9 and diluted earnings per share of $0.46 in Q3 2020 compared to net income of $37.3 and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 in ~~Q3 2019.~~the prior year. The prior year results included an $11.2 charge related to participation in a multi-employer pension plan, which had the effect of decreasing net income ~~by $5.5~~by$5.5 after taking into account the related variable compensation and tax effects. ~~In the prior year, we recorded net income of $25.7 and diluted earnings per share of $0.22.~~ Operating income of ~~$45.4~~$75.1 in Q3 ~~2019~~2020 represented an increase of ~~$8.9,~~$29.7, or 30290 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior ~~year. The comparison~~year, which was negatively impacted by $7.5 ~~related~~due to the pension charge, net of the related variable compensation effect. The ~~improved~~increase in operating ~~results were~~income was driven by higher revenue and lower cost of sales and operating expenses as a percentage of ~~revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales as a percentage of~~ revenue.

The pension charge recorded in the quarter related to a multi-employer pension plan in the U.S. in which the employees and retirees of one of the company’s subsidiaries participate. During Q3 2019, the plan asserted that the subsidiary's absence of hiring additional union employees over the past ten years, coupled with restructuring of the subsidiary's business, constituted an adverse selection practice and, if not remedied, will result in the assessment of a withdrawal liability. As a result of the plan’s assertion, the subsidiary recorded an $11.2 charge related to its estimated future obligations under a withdrawal liability, which had the effect of decreasing net income by $5.5 after taking into account the related variable compensation and tax effects. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Revenue of ~~$901.0~~$955.2 in Q3 ~~2019~~2020 represented an increase of ~~$128.9~~$54.2 or ~~17%~~6% compared to the prior year. ~~Q3 2019 revenue from acquisitions, net of divestitures,~~The increase was ~~$42.7, with the remaining growth~~ driven by ~~project business across all segments.

Revenue grew 8% in the Americas and ~~17%~~5% in the Other ~~category.~~category, while EMEA revenue declined by 1% compared to the prior year. After adjusting for a ~~$38.7~~$5.7 impact of ~~acquisitions, a $4.6 unfavorable impact of divestitures~~an acquisition and ~~$6.8~~$8.2 of unfavorable currency translation effects, organic revenue growth was ~~$101.6~~$56.7 or ~~13%~~6% compared to the prior year. ~~On an organic basis,~~Organic revenue growth was ~~12%~~8% in the Americas ~~12% in EMEA~~ and ~~20%~~6% in the Other ~~category.~~category, while EMEA revenue was flat on an organic basis.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~160~~220 basis points to ~~69.1%~~66.9% of revenue in Q3 ~~2019~~2020 compared to Q3 ~~2018,~~2019, with 110 basis points of the ~~increase being~~improvement attributable to the pension charge in ~~Q3 2019.~~the prior year. The remaining ~~increase~~decrease was driven by ~~approximately $14~~pricing benefits, lower commodity costs, and higher absorption of ~~higher commodity, freight and labor~~fixed costs, ~~in the Americas and EMEA and~~partially offset by unfavorable shifts in business mix ~~partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions~~ (which ~~approximated the higher commodity, freight~~included growth in third-party products and ~~labor costs) and higher absorption of fixed costs.~~services, which have a lower than average gross margin).

Our effective tax rate in Q3 ~~2019~~2020 was ~~17.5%~~25.6% compared to a Q3 ~~2018~~2019 effective tax rate of ~~31.8%~~17.5%. ~~The reduction was driven by tax reform in~~Q3 2019 reflected the ~~U.S. and~~impact of a $3.6 favorable adjustment recorded ~~in Q3 2019, compared to a $1.0 favorable adjustment recorded in~~during the ~~prior year.~~quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments 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. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic ~~volatility. From~~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.

As of November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019, we held a total of $~~51.0~~367.7 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, approximately ~~11%~~85% was located in the U.S. and the remaining ~~89%~~15% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in ~~India, Malaysia,~~China, the U.K., Mexico, Hong Kong and China. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act imposes a mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and eliminates U.S. taxes on foreign subsidiary distributions. As a result, earnings in foreign jurisdictions are available for distribution to the U.S. without incremental U.S. taxes.Malaysia.

COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. A portion of our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term 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.

We have availability under a $200 global committed five-year bank facility which we can utilize for various liquidity needs including acquisitions, day-to-day operations and other corporate purposes. In year-to-date 2019, we borrowed under the facility to fund acquisitions and working capital needs, and $27.5 was outstanding under the facility as of November 23, 2018.

~~The increased~~Cash provided by operating activities in year-to-date 2020 as compared to year-to-date 2019 was driven by strong earnings growth, a decrease in the use of working capital ~~was driven primarily by organic revenue growth, particularly at the end of Q3 2019 compared to Q3 2018,~~ and a mix shift in the current year to direct customers with longer payment terms. As of the end of Q3 2019, the accounts receivable associated with our direct customers in the Americas represents a $33 increase compared to the end of Q3 2018. Additionally, we experienced a number of project delays in the latter part of Q3 2019 which increased finished goods inventory at the end of Q3 2019 compared to the end of Q3 2018. Inventory has also increased to support the higher sales volume and a significant number of new product launches, some of which include long distance supply chains. In year-to-date 2019, lower variable compensation payments compared to those made in year-to-date 2018 drove the lower use of cashtiming related to ~~employee compensation. Year-over-year changes in~~estimated income tax payments and other ~~operating~~ assets and ~~liabilities were primarily driven by the timing of customer deposits, tax payments, accrued rebates and net receipts of VAT.~~liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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,” 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 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 and other Force Majeure events; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw ~~materials~~material, commodity and ~~commodity~~other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in this Report, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 4.	Controls and Procedures:

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of November ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in (1) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and (2) ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules ~~13a-15(f) or~~13a15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our third fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

For a more detailed explanation of the risks affecting our business, please refer to the Risk Factors section in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February ~~23, 2018.~~22, 2019. There has not been a material change to the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2018, except for the following risk factor which supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed and should be considered in conjunction with the Risk Factors section in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2018: 22, 2019.

~~Costs related to our participation in a multi-employer pension plan could increase.~~

Our subsidiary SC Transport Inc. contributes to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund, a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising under a collective bargaining agreement with our SC Transport Inc. employees. The plan is not administered by or in any way controlled by us. We have relatively little control over the level of contributions we are required to make to the plan, and it is substantially underfunded. As a result, contributions are scheduled to increase, and we expect that contributions to the plan may be subject to further increases. The amount of any increase or decrease in our required contributions to the multi-employer pension plan will depend upon the outcome of collective bargaining, actions taken by trustees who manage the plan, governmental regulations, the actual return on assets held in the plan, the continued viability and contributions of other employers which contribute to the plan and the potential payment of a withdrawal liability, among other factors.

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 Q3 2019, the Fund asserted that SC Transport Inc.'s absence of hiring additional union employees over the past ten years, coupled with restructuring of the SC Transport Inc.'s business, constituted an adverse selection practice under the Fund and, if not remedied, will result in the assessment of a withdrawal liability. As a result of the Fund’s assertion, SC Transport Inc. recorded an $11.2 million charge related to its estimated future obligations under a withdrawal liability. The amount that may ultimately be required to settle any potential obligation may be lower or higher than the estimated liability, which will be adjusted as needed, if and when additional information becomes available. If actual settlements are significantly lower or higher than the estimated reserve, our results of operations may be materially affected.
