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 22, 2019 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 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 February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued Accounting 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"“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. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments may be applied either inearnings as the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the United States ("U.S."). federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.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. Certain areas of the simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. 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. The amendments ofWe adopted this guidance in Q1 2020, and the ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance 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. The adoption ofWe 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 as of May 24, 2019.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 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 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
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 this standard on our consolidated 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our total debt is carried at cost and was $486.6$484.1 and $487.0 as of May 24,November 22, 2019 and February 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 $511$540 and $492 as of May 24,November 22, 2019 and February 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.

8.     SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance Units
During the threenine months ended May 24, November 22, 2019, we granted 98,867 performance units ("PSUs") which are earned over a three-year period based on performance conditions and then modified based on a market condition. The expense for these awards is determined based on the probability that the performance conditions will be met and the fair value of the market condition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the market condition, which resulted in acondition. The total weighted-average grant date fair value offor these PSUs was $16.21 per unit for these PSUs.unit. The PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The weighted-average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:

9.LEASES
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. LeaseThe 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.

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.

10. ACQUISITIONS
Orangebox
In Q3 2019, we acquired Orangebox Group Limited ("Orangebox"), a manufacturer of task seating, architectural pods, privacy solutions and collaborative 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 $0.5 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 acceleratesupplement 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, $23.4 related to goodwill and $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 $4.6, 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 allocationaccounting for the Orangebox acquisition was incomplete as of May 24, 2019. We are still evaluating certain working capital and deferred tax adjustments.completed during the current year.

Smith System
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 transaction included the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Smith System for $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.

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 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.

Overview
In Q1Q3 2020, we reported 18%revenue growth inof 6% and an operating income compared to the prior year. The growth wasmargin of 7.9%, driven by the higher revenue and the increase inlower cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. The revenue growth was more than offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. Revenue grew by 9% compared to the prior year, driven by recent acquisitions,the Americas and reflected strong industry growth, in day-to-day business and benefits from recent price list adjustments. The benefits from higher revenue were more than offset by changes in our business mix, which included a shift inpricing actions and favorable timing of shipments. Cost of sales from higher-margin to lower-margin products. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved by 50220 basis points despite increased investments(with 110 basis points attributable to the impact of a pension charge in the prior year). The remaining improvement was driven by the realization of pricing actions, lower commodity costs (compared to significant inflation in the prior year) and benefits from higher volume. The results reflected our continued focus to drive growth through expanding our product developmentoffering while executing on initiatives to supportimprove the fitness of our growth initiatives and acquisition-related amortization expense.cost structure.
Q3 2020 Compared to Q3 2019
We recorded net income of $17.8$54.9 and diluted earnings per share of $0.15$0.46 in Q1Q3 2020 compared to net income of $17.0$37.3 and diluted earnings per share of $0.14$0.31 in the prior year.

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 material, commodity and 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.
