NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 CONDENSED FOOTNOTES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”“Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017,December 29, 2019, as filed with the Commission.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected forfor the full year. The January 1, 2017,December 29, 2019, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Certain

The six month period ended July 5, 2020 includes 27 weeks, and the six month period ended June 30, 2019 includes 26 weeks. The three month periods ended July 5, 2020 and June 30, 2019 both include 13 weeks.
Risks and Uncertainties
The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that, except for the goodwill and intangible asset impairment discussed in Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” the decline in 2020 revenue, and its consequent impacts on production volume, operating income, net income, cash flows, and order rates, there were no other material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at July 5, 2020. The Company’s primary credit facility has various financial and other covenants including, but not limited to, a covenant to not exceed a maximum net debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit facility agreement. On July 15, 2020, the Company amended its Syndicated Credit Facility. See Note 16 entitled “Subsequent Events” for additional information. The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial condition, and supply chains. It may negatively impact our ability to collect outstanding receivables, manage inventory, and service customers. The impact of COVID-19 could result in additional impairment losses related to goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment.
As the virus spreads through communities, it could impact the physical health, mental health, and productivity of our workforce as many of them are required to shelter in place and work from home for prolonged periods of time, and it could also impact our ability to reach our customers and collaborate with them as they are required to shelter in place and work from home for prolonged periods of time. The COVID-19 pandemic is having broad and negative implications on the global economy, which affects the size and timing of our customers’ capital budgets, and could result in delays or terminations of new and existing renovation projects, remodeling projects, new construction projects, and other projects where our products are used.
COVID-19 Impact
We continue to monitor our operations and have implemented various programs to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on our business including reductions in employee headcount, labor costs, marketing expenses, consulting spend, travel costs, various other costs, and capital expenditures, as well as suspending and reducing shifts in our production facilities, temporarily furloughing employees, and implementing other cost reduction or avoidance initiatives. Government grants and payroll protection programs are available globally to provide assistance to companies impacted by the pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted in the United States (see Note 13 entitled “Income Taxes” for additional information) and a payroll protection program enacted in the Netherlands (the “NOW Program”), provide benefits related to payroll costs either as reimbursements, lower payroll tax rates or deferral of payroll tax payments. The NOW Program provides eligible companies with reimbursement of labor costs as an incentive to retain employees on the payroll. During the second quarter the Company recognized benefits under several payroll protection programs as reductions to payroll costs.

Reclassifications
In fiscal year 2020, the Company made certain classification and presentation changes related to customer service and other costs. Previously, these costs were presented as a component of cost of sales. Beginning in fiscal year 2020, these costs are presented as a component of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. The Company determined that this change better reflects how management views and operates the business. Reclassifications of the comparative prior periodyear 2019 amounts have been reclassifiedmade to conform to the current presentation as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Credit Losses. This standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through the use of valuation allowances for credit losses. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The Company adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach with no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to recognize expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” that provides for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, impairment charges are recognized to the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value with certain limitations. See Note 10 entitled “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This standard eliminates the current requirement to disclose the amount or reason for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the requirement to disclose the valuation methodology for level 3 fair value measurements. The standard includes additional disclosure requirements for level 3 fair value measurements, including the requirement to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income during the period presentation. These reclassifications hadand permits the disclosure of other relevant quantitative information for certain unobservable inputs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, “Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement service contract with the guidance to capitalize implementation costs of internal use software. The ASU also requires that the costs for implementation activities during the application development phase be capitalized in a hosting arrangement service contract, and costs during the preliminary and post implementation phase are expensed. The Company adopted this standard, which will be applied on a prospective basis, with no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740 related to intraperiod tax allocation, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the accounting for outside basis differences of foreign subsidiaries and equity method investments. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740, including franchise or similar taxes partially based on income, the accounting for a step-up in tax basis goodwill, and interim recognition of an enacted change in tax laws or rates, by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard but does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material effect on reporting income, comprehensive income, cash flows, total assets or shareholders equity as previously reported.

its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This standard addresses the risks from the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR if certain criteria are met. This new guidance is effective and may be applied beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard.

NOTE 34 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.

The Company includes all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in ourthe basic and diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following tables show distributed and undistributed earnings:

NOTE 45 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Syndicated Credit Facility

The

At July 5, 2020, the Company has a syndicated credit facilitymaintained an amended and restated Syndicated Credit Facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to which the lenders provideprovided to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving credit facilityloan and provide to the Company aU.S. denominated and multicurrency term loan.loans. Interest on base rate loans iswas charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin depending on the Company’sCompany’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on LIBOR-based loans and fees for letters of credit arewere charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable LIBOR rate, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company payspaid a commitment fee per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.

Debt issuance costs associated with term loans are reflected as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As these fees are expensed over the life of the outstanding borrowing, the debt balance will increase by the same amount as the fees that are expensed. As of October1, 2017,July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the unamortized debt costs recorded as a reduction of long-term debt were $5.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Other deferred borrowing costs, which include underwriting, legal and other direct costs related to the issuance of revolving debt, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.1 million and $1.3 million as of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. These amounts are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt.
As of July 5, 2020, the Company had outstanding $173.8$566.8 million of term loan borrowing and $60.8$58.8 million of revolving loan borrowings under the Facility, and had $6.0$1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. As of October 1, 2017,December 29, 2019, the Company had outstanding $581.6 million of term loan borrowing and $20.9 million of revolving loan borrowings under the Facility, and had $2.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. As of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Facility was 2.6%.

The2.75% and 3.27%, respectively. As of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under the Facility approximates its fair value as the Facility bears interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of the term loan borrowing. The amortization paymentsborrowings, which are due on the last day of the calendar quarter. The quarterly amortization payment amount was $3.75 million for the third quarter of 2017 and will remain this amount for all future quarters until maturity.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest Rate Risk Management
In the third quarter of 2017, and the Company amended and restated the syndicated credit facility. The terms and conditionsfirst quarter of the amended and restated credit facility (the “Amended Facility”) are substantially similar to the preceding Facility, with the following key changes:

The Amended Facility matures in August of 2022;

The restricted payments covenant in the Amended Facility has been liberalized (and now allows for, among other things, the repurchase of the full amount of the new share repurchase program described below); and

Permits the potential release of the lenders’ liens on certain real property and equipment in connection with an anticipated property tax abatement transaction in Georgia.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Shortly after entering into the Amended Facility, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transactiontransactions in notional amounts of $100 million and $150 million, respectively, to fix the variable interest rate on a portion of its term loan borrowingsborrowing in order to manage a portion of its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s objective and strategy with respect to thisthese interest rate swapswaps is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability to cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of its outstanding debt. The Company is meeting its objective by hedging the risk of changes in its cash flows (interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged (the “hedged risk”), on an amount of the Company’s debt principal equal to the outstanding swap notional amount.

amounts.

Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap

The Company’sSwaps

Both of the interest rate swap isswaps described above are designated and qualifiesqualify as a cash flow hedgehedges of forecasted interest payments. The Company reports the effective portionchanges in fair value of the fair value gain or loss on the swapswaps as a component of other comprehensive income (or other comprehensive loss). Gains or losses (if any) on any ineffective portion of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships are recorded in the period in which they occur as a component of other expense (or other income) in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. There were no such gains or losses in the third quarter of 2017. The aggregate notional amount of the swapinterest rate swaps as of October 1, 2017July 5, 2020 was $100$250 million.

Forward Contracts
Our European operations, from time to time, are party to currency forward contracts designed to hedge the cash flow risk of intercompany sales from the manufacturing facility in Europe to the Americas. The Company’s objective and strategy with respect to these currency forward contracts is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in currency rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows related to receipt of payment on intercompany sales. As of October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, there were no active forward currency contracts.
Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Our Asia-Pacific operations, from time to time, purchase foreign currency options to economically hedge inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies other than their functional currency. The Company’s objective with respect to these foreign currency options is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in currency rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows related to payment on inventory purchases. These options are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on the changes in fair value of these foreign currency options are recognized in earnings each period. As of July 5, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign currency options with an aggregate notional amount of $17.0 million.

PerformanceShare Awards

In 2017,

During the six months ended July 5, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company issued awards of performance shares to certain employees. These awards vest based on the achievement of certain performance-based goals over a performance period of one to three years, subject to the employee’s continued employment, through the last date of the performance period, and will be settled in shares of our common stock or in cash at the Company’s election. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the performance shares to the award recipients may be greater (up to 200%) or lesser than the nominal award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

NOTE 8 – LEASES
General
We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing equipment, corporate offices, showrooms, distribution facilities, design centers, as well as computer and office equipment. Our leases have terms ranging from 1 2017.

to 20 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease term for up to 5 years, and certain leases may include an option to terminate the lease. Our lease accounting may include these options to extend or terminate a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
We record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases extending beyond one year for operating and finance leases once a contract that contains a lease is executed and we have the right to control the use of the leased asset. The right-of-use asset is measured as the present value of the lease obligation. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liability was the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the applicable geographical region.
As of July 5, 2020, there were no significant right-of-use assets and lease obligations from leases that had not commenced as of the end of the second quarter.
The table below represents a summary of the balances recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets related to our leases as of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019:

Policy Elections
We made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, except for data center assets, and will account for the lease payments as a single component. We also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These leases primarily represent month-to-month operating leases for vehicles and office equipment where we were reasonably certain that we would not elect an option to extend the lease.


NOTE 69 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

On December 31, 2019, a plan amendment was executed to eliminate future service accruals in the Dutch defined benefit plan, resulting in a curtailment of the plan. This plan remains in existence and will continue to pay vested benefits. Active participants will no longer accrue benefits after December 31, 2019, and instead will participate in an industry-wide multi-employer plan beginning in fiscal year 2020. During the three and six months ended July 5, 2020, the Company recorded multi-employer pension expense related to multi-employer contributions of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 10 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the first quarter of 2020, we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment indicators, considering macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact to sales and operating income. We expect that the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse impacts on the global economy, global travel restrictions, COVID-19 related government shutdowns, disruptions to our supply chain, distribution disruption, and disruption to our customers’ plans to spend capital on projects that use our products and services will result in lower revenue and operating income. As a result, we determined that there were indicators of impairment, and the Company proceeded with a quantitative assessment of goodwill for all reporting units at the end of the first quarter.
In performing the first quarter quantitative goodwill impairment testing, the Company prepared valuations of reporting units on both a market comparable methodology and an income methodology, and those valuations were compared with the respective carrying values of the reporting units to determine whether any goodwill impairment existed. Our reporting units are one level below our reporting segment level. In preparing the valuations, past, present and future expectations of performance were considered, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This methodology was consistent with the approach used to perform the annual quantitative goodwill assessment in prior years. The weighted average cost of capital used in the goodwill impairment testing ranged between 10.0% and 10.5%, which primarily fluctuated based on a country risk premium assigned to the geographical region of the reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty associated with key assumptions used in our impairment testing including the duration of the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the recovery period. As a result of the first quarter assessment, we determined that the fair value for two reporting units was less than the carrying value and recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $116.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The expected decline in revenue due to the impact of COVID-19 contributed to the lower fair value of our Europe and Asia-Pacific reporting units. As such, the goodwill impairment loss was allocated to our Europe and Asia-Pacific reporting units in the amounts of $99.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively. We determined that the goodwill in our Americas reporting unit was not impaired as the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 90% at April 5, 2020. There were no indicators of additional goodwill impairment as of July 5, 2020.
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the six months ended July 5, 2020 are as follows:

Additionally, we determined that the trademarks and trade names intangible assets related to the acquired nora business were also impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The carrying value of intangible assets after the impairment was $82.7 million at July 5, 2020. There were no indicators of additional intangible asset impairment as of the end of the second quarter of 2020.

NOTE 7 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has three3 operating segments – namely, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic regions. Pursuant to accounting standards, the Company has aggregated the three operating segments into one reportingreportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics, and the operating segments are similar in all of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and (e) the nature of the regulatory environment.

While the Company operates as one reporting1 reportable segment for the reasons discussed, included below is selected information on our operating segments.

See Note 8 entitled “Leases” for supplemental disclosures related to finance and operating leases.

NOTE 913RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard regarding recognition of revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede the existing revenue recognition under U.S. GAAP. In summary, the core principle of this standard, along with amendments in 2015 and 2016, is that an entity recognizes 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 exchangeINCOME TAXES

The Company determines its provision for those goods or services. Additionally, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations, assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain and fulfill a contract, and significant judgments in measurements and recognition. The standard, as amended, will be effectiveincome taxes for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Nearly 95%using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate and records any changes affecting the Company’s current revenue is produced from the sale of carpet, hard surface flooring and related products (TacTiles installation system, etc.) and the revenue from sales of these products is recognized upon shipment, or in certain cases upon delivery to the customer.  There does not exist any performance or any other obligation after the sale of these products outside of the product warranty, which has not historically been of significance compared to total product sales.  There is a small portion of the Company’s revenues (less than 6%) that is for the sale and installation of carpet and related products.  Of these projects, the overwhelming majority are completed in less than 5 days and therefore the Company does not expect a significant shiftestimated annual effective tax rate in the timing of revenue recognition for these sales either.  While the Company is continuing its review of this new standard and the manner in which it will be implemented, given the nature of the Company’s sales it currently believes that revenue recognition under the new standard will be mostly consistent under both the current and new standards, with performance obligations being satisfied under the majority of contracts with customers upon shipment.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify the accounting for inventory. This standard requires all inventories to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, except for inventory that is accounted for using the LIFO or the retail inventory method, which will be measured under existing accounting standards. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new standard did not have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. This standard does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction. The amendments in the standard may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2017, and recorded a reduction of current assets of $10.0 million and a corresponding increase in long term assets of $5.9 million as well as a reduction of long term liabilities of $4.1 million. The Company applied this standard retrospectively and as a result has adjusted the balance sheet as of the end of 2016 by these amounts as well.

-12-

In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, which is the current U.S. GAAP practice, or account for forfeitures when they occur.  This update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The element of the new standard that will have the most impact on the Company’s financial statements will be income tax consequences. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards will now be included in the tax provision within the consolidated statement of operations as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, rather than the previous accountingchange occurs, including discrete tax items.

During the six months ended July 5, 2020, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of recording them in additional paid-in capital$4.1 million on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoptiona pre-tax loss of this standard resulted$93.3 million resulting in an increase in deferredeffective tax assetsrate of approximately $5.8 million, with(4.4)%. The effective tax rate for this period was primarily impacted by a corresponding increase to equity accounts, as of implementation in the first quarter of 2017. There was an impact of this standard on the consolidated statement of cash flows upon adoption, as under the standard when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes those related tax payments will be treated as financing activities, not as operating activities. Upon adoption in the first quarter of 2017, this resulted in a reclassification of $4.6 million of such tax payments in the first quarter of 2016 from operating activities to financing activities. The Company has elected to continue our current policy of estimating forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards at the time of grant and revising in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures, which is allowable under the new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluatingnon-deductible goodwill impairment. Excluding the impact of our pending adoptionthe goodwill impairment, the effective tax rate was 17.8% for the period compared to 17.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate, excluding the goodwill impairment, was due to unfavorable changes related to company-owned life insurance and unrecognized tax benefits, which were offset by the favorable impacts of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard regarding the treatment of net periodic benefit costs. This standard will require segregation of these net benefit costs between operating and non-operating expenses. Currently, the Company reports the net benefit costs associated with its defined benefit plans as a component of operating income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. When the new standard is implemented, only the service cost component of defined benefit plan costs will be reported within operating income, while all other components of net benefit cost will be presented within the “Other Expense (income)” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The standard requires retrospective application, and as such upon adoption of this standard will result in offsetting changes in operating income and “Other Expense (income)” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods of 2018 and 2017, with no impact on net income or earnings per share.

NOTE 10 – INCOMETAXES

Accounting standards require that allamending prior year tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. returns.

In the first ninesix months of 2017,2020, the Company increaseddecreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.8$0.4 million. As of October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, the Company had accrued approximately $28.7$25.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of October 1, 2017July 5, 2020 reflects a reduction for $3.3$2.8 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including the progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitations. Based on information currently available, it is reasonably possible that approximately $14.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within the next 12 months due to a lapse of statute of limitations.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provides certain tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions of the CARES Act include, among other things, the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and certain income tax provisions for corporations. During the six months ended July 5, 2020, the Company deferred approximately $1.4 million in payroll taxes under the CARES Act. Other than the deferral of payroll taxes, the CARES Act did not have an impact on the Company’s tax accounts, including its effective tax rate, during the six months ended July 5, 2020. The Company expects it will defer approximately $4.0 million in payroll taxes under the CARES Act during fiscal year 2020 which will result in a corresponding increase in its payroll tax accrual. The CARES Act and other similar foreign government support programs are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s tax accounts during the year.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company amended the share purchase program to authorize the repurchase of up to $50 million of common stock, with no specific expiration date. During the first three months of 2017, the Company repurchased and retired 1,601,896 shares of common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $19.36 per share. These repurchases completed the $50 million repurchase plan.

In the second quarter of 2017, the Company adopted a new share repurchase program in which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program has no specific expiration date. During the second and third quarters of 2017, pursuant to this new program, the Company repurchased and retired an aggregate of 2,575,847 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $19.38 per share.

NOTE 13 – RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2016,On December 23, 2019, the Company committed to a new restructuring plan that continues to focus on efforts to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across its worldwide operations, and more closely align its operating structure with its business strategy. The plan involved a reduction of approximately 105 employees and early termination of 2 office leases. As a result of this plan, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2019 of approximately $9.0 million. The charge was comprised of severance expenses ($8.8 million) and lease exit costs ($0.2 million).

The restructuring plan is expected to result in cash expenditures of approximately $9.0 million for payment of the employee severance and lease exit costs, as described above. The Company expects to complete the restructuring plan in fiscal year 2020 and expects the plan to yield annualized savings of approximately $6.0 million. A portion of the annualized savings is expected to be realized on the income statement in fiscal year 2020, with the remaining portion of the annualized savings expected to be realized in fiscal year 2021.

Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the economic conditions in the commercial interiors industry as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017, which discussion is hereby incorporatedDecember 29, 2019, as supplemented by reference.the additional risk factors included in Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 5, 2020. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.


Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the virus continues to spread in areas where we operate and sell our products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic has had material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and it is anticipated that this will continue for an indefinite period of time. The duration of the pandemic will ultimately determine the extent to which our operations are impacted. We continue to monitor our operations and have implemented various programs to mitigate the effects on our business including reductions in employees, labor costs, marketing expenses, consulting expenses, travel costs, various other costs, and capital expenditures, as well as suspending and reducing shifts in our production facilities, temporarily furloughing employees, and implementing other cost reduction or avoidance initiatives.
During the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our global operations, resulting in lower revenue across all geographic regions. For the three months ended July 5, 2020, consolidated net sales declined 27.4% compared to the same period last year. As discussed above, the Company implemented, and continues to implement, various cost cutting initiatives to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on our operations. During the three months ended July 5, 2020, the Company recorded $2.9 million of voluntary and involuntary severance costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. We anticipate future annualized savings of approximately $7 million as a result of these separation initiatives.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, government grants and payroll protection programs are available globally to provide assistance to companies impacted by the pandemic. The CARES Act enacted in the United States (see Note 13 entitled “Income Taxes” of Part I, Item 1 of this 10-Q for additional information) and a payroll protection program enacted in the Netherlands (the “NOW Program”), provide benefits related to payroll costs either as reimbursements, lower payroll tax rates or deferral of payroll tax payments. The NOW Program provides eligible companies with reimbursement of labor costs as an incentive to retain employees on the payroll. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company qualified for benefits under several payroll protection programs and recognized a reduction in payroll costs of approximately $3.8 million during the quarter, which are recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, as the Company believes it is likely that the benefits received will not be repaid.
The COVID-19 pandemic had less of an impact on our global operations for the first six months of 2020 (as compared with the impact on the second quarter of 2020), as the effects of the pandemic did not begin to impact our business substantially until the end of the first quarter. For the first six months of 2020, consolidated net sales declined 16.4% compared to the same period last year primarily due to COVID-19. Due to reduced demand and to enhance employee safety measures, we temporarily suspended production in our U.S. manufacturing facilities from March 18, 2020 to March 23, 2020, and then again from April 6, 2020 to April 13, 2020. We also substantially reduced production in our Craigavon, UK facility beginning on April 20, 2020 through the end of the second quarter, and our Thailand, China, and Australia plants are operating in reduced shifts in light of reduced demand. During the first quarter of 2020, our Asia-Pacific region was primarily impacted by COVID-19 due to government shutdowns in China and the temporary closure of our China plant in late January 2020 to February 9, 2020. In addition, almost all of our salesforce and administrative employees globally continue to work remotely in accordance with local government orders and “shelter in place” directives.

Goodwill, Intangible Asset and Fixed Asset Impairment
During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2020, we had net incomerecognized a charge of $19.4$121.3 million for the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets. See Note 10 entitled “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The first nine months of 2017 include $7.3 million of restructuring andintangible asset impairment charges (all of which were recorded during the second quarter. During the second quarter of 2020, we recognized fixed asset impairment charges of $3.1 million related to certain FLOR design center closures and other projects that were abandoned or indefinitely delayed.

For the quarter ended October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, net sales increased $9.1decreased $98.0 million (3.7%(27.4%) versus the comparable period in 2016.2019. The sales decline was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above. Currency fluctuations had an approximately $4.0$2.8 million (2.0%(0.8%) positivenegative impact on the 2017 thirdsecond quarter 2020 sales compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2019. This positivecurrency impact was mostly due to the resultweakening of a strengtheningthe Euro, British Pound sterling, Chinese Renminbi, and Australian dollar as compared toagainst the prior year period.U.S. dollar. On a geographic basis, sales increased in all regions, with Americas commercial sales (defined as Americas sales less the FLOR residential sales) up 2%,net sales in the Americas decreased 27.0%, Europe up 6%decreased 24.9% and Asia-Pacific decreased 33.3%. The sales decreases across all geographic regions were, as translated into U.S. dollars (2%discussed above, due to the impacts of COVID-19, resulting in local currency),lower sales globally. The sales decrease in the Americas was most significant in the corporate, retail, leisure and transportation market segments, partially offset by increases in the hospitality and residential/living market segments. On a market segment basis, the sales decrease in Asia-Pacific up 12%.

On a market segment basis, the sales decrease in Asia-Pacific was most significant in the corporate, retail, stores at the end of the first quarter of 2017, although this washealthcare, public buildings and hospitality market segments partially offset by gains in FLOR’s other sales channels. Global sales increased most significantly in the corporate office, education, government and healthcare segments. These increases were partially offset by declines in the retail segment and in the residential segment, which is largely a result of the exit of the FLOR specialty retail stores. In the Americas, the increase in sales was primarily due to sales of luxury vinyl tile (“LVT”), which is a hard surface modular flooring product line launched in the first quarter of 2017. In Europe, sales increased 2% in local currency, with increases in the United Kingdom, Germany and Southern and Central Europe. As noted above, due toresidential/living market segment. The sales decrease in Asia-Pacific was also impacted by the strengtheningweakening of the Euro, our sales in Europe improved by 6% as translated into U.S. dollars.

For the quarter ended October 1, 2017, costsJuly 5, 2020, cost of sales increased $3.5decreased $54.6 million (2.2%(25.2%) as compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2016. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates2019, primarily due to lower net sales. Cost of sales also includes the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.3 million for each of the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Currency translation had a small (1%an approximately $2.0 million (0.9%) positive impact on the year-over-year comparison. The increase in costs of sales was a function of higher sales for the 2017 third quarter, as sales increased 3.7% versus the prior year period. The percentage increase in costs of sales was lower than the increase in sales due to improved manufacturing performance during the quarter, a result of our productivity and process improvement gains as well as savings from our restructuring activities undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, in the third quarter of 2016, there were costs related to our move to a centralized warehouse facility in the U.S. that did not repeat in 2017. As a percentage of sales, costs of sales decreased to 61.7% for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 62.6% for the third quarter of 2016 due to the factors noted above. This improvement came despite slightly lower production volumes in the third quarter of 2017 versus the same period in 2016 as well as higher raw material input prices.

For the nine months ended October 1, 2017, cost of sales increased $5.5 million (1.3%) versus the comparable period in 2016. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on the comparison. This increase in costs of sales was largely because of increased sales for the period, as sales increased 1.5% versus the prior year period. As a percentage ofnet sales, our cost of sales decreased slightlyincreased to 61.1%62.5% for the ninesecond quarter of 2020 versus 60.6% for the second quarter of 2019.


For the six months ended October 1, 2017, from 61.2% for the comparable period in 2016. This decrease is a result of the Company’s productivity initiatives delivering benefits slightly in advance of higher raw material input prices and despite lesser absorption of fixed costs associated with lower production volumes. We expect continued raw material price inflation, as well as less absorption of fixed costs associated with lower production levels, for the balance of 2017 and, as a result,July 5, 2020, cost of sales asdecreased $61.9 million (15.5%) compared to the first six months of 2019, primarily due to lower net sales. Cost of sales also includes the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Currency translation had an approximately $5.3 million (1.3%) positive impact on the year-over-year comparison. As a percentage of net sales, is expectedour cost of sales increased to increase61.4% for the remainderfirst six months of 2017.

2020 versus 60.7% for the first six months of 2019.

For the three monthsquarter ended October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $0.5decreased $17.8 million (0.7%) versus the comparable period last year. Fluctuations in current exchange rates did not have a significant impact on the comparison. This increase in SG&A expenses is a result of additional incentive based compensation due to higher projected attainment of performance goals in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period. This increase in incentive-based compensation was offset almost entirely by (1) lower selling expenses due to the exit of the FLOR specialty retail stores, (2) lower functional expenses as we continue our transition to more centralized services, and (3) savings as a result of our restructuring plans implemented in the fourth quarter of 2016. These savings were realized despite higher expenses associated with our LVT product launches in 2017. As a result of the savings discussed above, as a percentage of sales, our SG&A expenses declined to 26.3% for the three months ended October 1, 2017 versus 27.0% for the comparable period in 2016.

For the nine-month ended October 1, 2017, SG&A expenses decreased $2.5 million (1.2%(18.2%) versus the comparable period in 2016. This decline was2019. Currency translation had a function$0.5 million (0.5%) positive impact on the year-over-year comparison. SG&A expenses were lower for the second quarter of decreases2020 primarily due to (1) lower selling expenses of $16.1 million due to lower net sales, (2) $3.8 million of payroll protection credits, and (3) lower overall payroll costs due to lower performance-based incentive compensation as well as the impact of voluntary and involuntary employee separations and furloughs, which were partially offset by $2.9 million of severance expenses recorded during the quarter. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 30.9% for the second quarter of 2020 versus 27.4% for the second quarter of 2019. 

For the six months ended July 5, 2020, SG&A expenses decreased $30.2 million (15.3%) versus the comparable period in 2019. Currency translation had a $1.4 million (0.7%) positive impact on the year-over-year comparison. SG&A expenses were lower for the first six months of 2017 offset by2020 primarily due to (1) lower selling expenses of $23.7 million due to lower net sales, (2) lower stock compensation expense of $7.0 million, (3) $3.8 million of payroll protection credits, and (4) lower overall payroll costs as discussed above. As a slight increae inpercentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 30.6% for the first six months of 2020 versus 30.2% for the first six months of 2019. 
Other Expense
Other expenses increased $4.8 million and $5.3 million during the three and six months ended October 1, 2017. Fluctuations in currency exchanges rates did not haveJuly 5, 2020, respectively, compared to 2019 primarily due to a significant impact on the comparison. The decline for the nine-month period was$4.2 million write-down of damaged raw material inventory as a result of (1) lower functional expenses, as we move towards more centralized services and realize associated savings, (2) lower selling expenses in the second and third quarters of 2017 associated with exiting the FLOR specialty retail stores, and (3) savings associated with our previously announced restructuring plans. These savings were offset by higher incentive compensation due to higher attainment of performance goals in 2017 versus 2016, as well as costs associated with the rollout of our LVT product offerings. Due to these decreases, as well as higher sales for the first nine months of 2017, our SG&A expenses declined to 27.1% of sales as compared to 27.8% of sales for the first nine months of 2016.

Interest Expense

For the three-month periodquarter ended October 1, 2017, ourJuly 5, 2020, interest expense increased $0.2 million to $1.9decreased $1.8 million, from $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. For the nine-month period ended October 1, 2017, our interest expense increased $0.4 million to $5.2 million, from $4.8$6.8 million in the comparable period last year. The increases wereyear to $5.0 million, primarily due to higher weighted average borrowing rates forlower interest rates. For the 2017 periods versus those ofsix months ended July 5, 2020, interest expense decreased $3.0 million, from $13.6 million in the 2016 periods as well as higher average daily outstanding borrowing amounts under our Syndicated Credit Facility during the 2017 periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

At October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, we had $78.1$91.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.cash. At that date, we had outstanding $173.8$566.8 million ofin term loan borrowings, $60.8borrowing, $58.8 million of revolving loan borrowings, and $6.0$1.6 million in letters of credit under our Syndicated Credit Facility.

As of October 1, 2017, we could have incurred $183.2 million of additional borrowingsoutstanding under our Syndicated Credit Facility. In addition,As of July 5, 2020, we could have incurred anhad additional $9.8borrowing capacity of $239.6 million under the Syndicated Credit Facility and $9.5 million of borrowingsborrowing capacity under our other lines of credit facilities in place at other non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Analysis We anticipate that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our obligations for the next 12 months.

Amendment of Cash Flows

We exited the quarter ended October 1, 2017 with $78.1 million in cash, a decrease of $87.6 million during the first nine months of the year. The decrease in cash was primarily a result of cash outflows for financing activities, with the most significant factors being (1) $81.1 million of cash used to repurchase and retire 4.2 million shares of our outstanding common stock, (2) $62.1 million of cash used to repay borrowings under the Syndicated Credit Facility (including required amortization payments of $11.3 million), and (3) $11.6 million for the payments of dividends. These financing cash outflows were partially offset by $20.0 million of borrowings underDue to COVID-19 Impact

On July 15, 2020, we entered into a second amendment to our Syndicated Credit Facility. We also usedSee Note 16 entitled “Subsequent Events” within Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Analysis of Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $32.4 million for the six months ended July 5, 2020, which represents an increase of $12.0 million from the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to working capital expenditureschanges, specifically an increase in the first nine months of 2017. These uses were partiallyaccount receivable collections offset by $67.9the change to accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash used in investing activities was $35.7 million for the six months ended July 5, 2020 which represents an increase of cash generated$0.8 million from operating activities during the nine-monthprior year comparable period. The factors driving the cash from operations were (1) $48.9 million of net income for the period, and (2) $10.8 million of cash generatedincrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accruals. These inflows were partially offsetcapital expenditures from the prior year comparable period.
Cash provided by operating cash outflowsfinancing activities was $15.6 million for the six months ended July 5, 2020 which represents a decrease of $22.4$1.6 million from the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to an increasehigher repayments of revolving loan borrowings.
Purchase Obligations
We have outstanding purchase obligations of $9.7 million related to expanding our manufacturing capabilities, which we expect to fund during the remainder of 2020.

Forward-Looking Statement on Impact of COVID-19
While we are aggressively managing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on our full year fiscal 2020 results and beyond are uncertain. We believe the most significant elements of uncertainty are (1) the intensity and duration of the impact on construction, renovation, and remodeling; (2) corporate, government, and consumer spending levels and sentiment; and (3) the ability of our sales channels, supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution partners to continue operating through disruptions. Any or all of these factors could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and outlook. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect companies with global operations, we anticipate that our business and results in inventory.

the third quarter of 2020 will continue to be adversely affected, and the timeline and pace of recovery is uncertain. While we are unable to predict with certainty, we anticipate continued year-over-year declines in revenue and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2020, and perhaps during quarterly periods thereafter.
The Company has implemented several cost reduction and avoidance initiatives to align with anticipated customer demand, including a voluntary employee separation program, temporary employee furloughs and other time-and-pay reduction programs, involuntary employee separations where necessary to streamline roles and responsibilities, and various other cost reducing initiatives. The Company has also suspended merit-based salary increases, as well as its 401(k) and Non-Qualified Savings Plan (NSP) matching contributions, and will benefit from lower than originally anticipated performance-based compensation and variable compensation for 2020. In addition, the Company has reduced its capital spending plans.
Cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and other sources of liquidity are expected to be available and sufficient to meet foreseeable cash requirements. However, the Company’s cash flows from operations can be affected by numerous factors including the uncertainty of COVID-19 and its impact on global operations, raw material availability and cost, demand for our products, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Backlog
As of July 26, 2020, the consolidated backlog of orders was approximately $193.1 million. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, backlog was approximately $177.8 million as of February 9, 2020. Disruptions in supply and distribution chains, global travel restrictions and government shelter in place orders due to the impact of COVID-19 have resulted in delays of construction projects and flooring installations in many regions worldwide.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our

The discussion below in this Item 3 is based upon the more detailed discussions of our market risk and related matters included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017December 29, 2019, under Part II, Item 7A of that Form 10-K. OurThe discussion here focuses on the periodsix months ended October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, and any material changes from (or other important intervening developments since the time of) the information discussed in that Form 10-K. This discussion should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.

At October 1, 2017, we recognized a $30.7 million increase in our foreign currency translation adjustment account compared to January 1, 2017, primarily because of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies, particularly the Euro and the Australian dollar.

Sensitivity Analysis.Analysis
For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the impact that market risk may have on the fair values of our market sensitive instruments.

To perform sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values associated with the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments.

Because the debt outstanding under our Syndicated Credit Facility has variable interest rates based on an underlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate, we do not believe changes in interest rates would have any significant impact on the fair value of that debt instrument. Changes in the underlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate would, however, impact the amount of our interest expense. For a discussion of these hypothetical impacts on our interest expense, please see the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2017.

Table of Contents

As of October 1, 2017,July 5, 2020, a 10% decrease or increase in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value of our financial instruments of $9.6$11.8 million or an increase in the fair value of our financial instruments of $11.7$14.4 million, respectively. As the impact of offsetting changes in the fair market value of our net foreign investments is not included in the sensitivity model, these results are not indicative of our actual exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

As of July 5, 2020, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in the recorded liability of our interest rate swaps of approximately $5.2 million while a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the recorded liability of our interest rate swaps of approximately $6.3 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) under the Act.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures however are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on thatthe evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Report to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
