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. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected forfor the full year.

Risks and Uncertainties
Global economic challenges, including the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the slow macro environment in China could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. In connection with the Cyber Event discussed below, security breaches may expose us to conformfines and other liabilities to the current period presentation.extent sensitive data stored in our IT systems, including data related to customers, suppliers or employees, are misappropriated. The Company considered these impacts and subsequent general uncertainties and volatility in the global economy on the assumptions and estimates used herein. These reclassifications had nouncertainties could result in a future material adverse effect to the amounts reported within the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements if actual results differ from these estimates.
Cybersecurity Event
On November 20, 2022, we discovered a cybersecurity attack, perpetrated by unauthorized third parties, affecting our IT systems (the “Cyber Event”). In response to this Cyber Event, we notified law enforcement and took steps to supplement existing security monitoring, including scanning and protective measures. The investigation of the Cyber Event by our forensic experts was completed during fiscal year 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Other disclosures include disaggregation of income comprehensivetaxes paid, pre-tax income, cash flows, total assets or shareholders equityand income tax expense. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its income tax disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU requires additional disclosures in annual and interim periods for significant segment expenses included in the measure of segment profit provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

NOTE 34 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income (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.

earnings (loss).

The Company includes all unvested stock awards whichthat contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in ourfor basic andEPS as these awards are considered participating securities. Any unvested stock awards considered non-participating securities are included in 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 7 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Based on applicable

The Company determines that an operating segment exists if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and (iii) has discrete financial information. Additionally, accounting standards require the utilization of a “management approach” to report the financial results of operating segments, which is based on information used by the CODM to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The Company determined that it has two operating segments organized by geographical area – namely (a) Americas (“AMS”) and (b) Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment includes the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas.
Pursuant to the management approach discussed above, the Company’s CODM, our chief executive officer, evaluates performance at the AMS and EAAA operating segment levels and makes operating and resource allocation decisions based on segment adjusted operating income (“AOI”), which includes allocations of corporate selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and allocations of global support SG&A as discussed below. AOI excludes: nora purchase accounting amortization; Cyber Event impact; property casualty loss; and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net. Intersegment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 were $16.8 million and $22.6 million, respectively. Intersegment revenues are eliminated from net sales presented below since these amounts are not included in the information provided to the CODM.
The Company has determined that it has threetwo reportable segments – AMS and EAAA, as each operating segments – namely,segment meets the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic regions. Pursuant toquantitative thresholds defined in the accounting standards,guidance.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company has aggregatedimplemented a cost center realignment initiative to centralize certain global/shared functions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, SG&A expenses for these global support functions were allocated to AOI for each reportable segment consistent with the allocation methodology used to allocate corporate overhead in prior periods. Prior year AOI amounts below were not recast as there was no material impact to the measure of segment profit for each reportable segment. There were no changes to the composition of the Company’s operating or reportable segments.
Segment information for the three operating segments into one reporting segment because they have similar economic characteristics,months ended March 31, 2024 and the operating segments are similarApril 2, 2023 is presented 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.

NOTE 9 – RECENTLY 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 exchange 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 effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Nearly 95% of 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 thereforeoperating leases.

Non-Cash Financing Activities
On March 12, 2024, the Company does not expect a significant shiftdeclared cash dividends on its common stock of $0.6 million, which were paid during the second quarter of 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024. At March 31, 2024, the dividends were recorded within accrued expenses 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 thecondensed 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.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) and records any changes affecting the estimated AETR in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.
During the three months ended March 2016,31, 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the Company recorded a total income tax consequences, classificationprovision of awards$4.8 million on pre-tax income of $19.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4%, as either equity or liabilities,compared to a total income tax provision of $0.2 million on pre-tax loss of $0.5 million resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 35.2% during the three months ended April 2, 2023. The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax effects of pre-tax income in the current year quarter compared to pre-tax loss in the prior year quarter and favorable changes related to share-based compensation and the classificationlimitation on the statement of cash flows. In addition, an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimatededuction for business interest expenses under Internal Revenue Code section 163(j). The pre-tax loss for the number of awardsthree months ended April 2, 2023, included significant unusual or infrequent items that are expectedspecifically excluded from the AETR. The tax effects related to vest,these specifically excluded items are recognized discretely. The income tax benefits recognized discretely were at a lower effective tax rate compared to the estimated AETR resulting in an overall negative effective tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2023.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) published Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which iscalls for 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.taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. The elementOECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the new standard that willPillar Two global minimum tax. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2024, we expect to meet the Transitional Country-by-Country (CbCR) Safe Harbor rules for most if not all jurisdictions and do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statementsstatements. We will be income tax consequences. Excess tax benefitscontinue to closely monitor ongoing developments 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 accounting of recording them in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of this standard resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets of approximately $5.8 million, with 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 evaluating the impact of our pending adoption 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 noevaluate any potential impact on net income or earnings per share.

NOTE 10 – INCOMETAXES

Accounting standards require that all 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. future periods.

In the first ninethree months of 2017,2024, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.8$0.3 million. As of October 1, 2017,March 31, 2024, the Company had accrued approximately $28.7$5.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of October 1, 2017March 31, 2024 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. While it is reasonably possible that some of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the recognition of such amounts will have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

NOTE 13 – RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company committed to a new restructuring plan in its continuing efforts to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across its worldwide operations, and more closely align its operating structure with its business strategy. The plan involves (i) a substantial restructuring of the FLOR business model that includes closure of its headquarters office and most retail FLOR stores, (ii) a reduction of approximately 70 FLOR employees and a number of employees in the commercial carpet tile business, primarily in the Americas and Europe regions, and (iii) the write-down of certain underutilized and impaired assets that include information technology assets, intellectual property assets, and obsolete manufacturing, office and retail store equipment.

As a result of this plan, the Company incurred a pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2016 of $19.8 million. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an additional charge of $7.3 million, primarily related to exit costs associated with the closure of most FLOR retail stores in the first quarter of 2017. The charge in the first quarter of 2017 was comprised of lease exit costs of $3.4 million, asset impairment charges of $3.3 million and severance charges of $0.6 million.

Consolidated net sales$289,743 $295,792 (2.0)%
For the quarter ended October 1, 2017,March 31, 2024, consolidated net sales increased $9.1decreased $6.0 million (3.7%(2.0%) versus the comparable period in 2016.2023, primarily due to lower sales volumes (approximately 4%) partially offset by higher prices (approximately 2%). Currency fluctuations had an approximately $4.0 million (2.0%) positiveno material impact on the 2017 third quarterconsolidated net sales compared to the third quarter of 2016. This positive impact was the result of a strengthening Euro and Australian dollar as compared to the prior year period. On a geographic basis, sales increased in all regions, with Americas commercial sales (defined as Americas sales less the FLOR residential sales) up 2%, sales in Europe up 6% as translated into U.S. dollars (2% in local currency), and sales in Asia-Pacific up 12%. Third quarter sales were negatively impacted by the exit of the FLOR specialty retail stores at the end offor the first quarter of 2017, although this was 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 to the strengthening of the Euro, our sales in Europe improved by 6% as translated into U.S. dollars. Sales in Asia-Pacific saw increases across the region with the exception of China.

For the nine months ended October 1, 2017, net sales increased $11.1 million (1.5%) versus the comparable period in 2016. Currency fluctuations had an approximately $1.0 million (less than 1%) negative impact on sales for the first nine months of 2017 as2024 compared to the same period in 2016.last year. On a geographicmarket segment basis, the sales were up 2%decrease was primarily in the Americas commercial business and up 5% in Asia-Pacific. In Europe, sales were down approximately 1% both in local currency and as translated into U.S. dollars. We experienced sales increases in our corporate office, education and government segments. These increases were offset by declines in theretail, healthcare and hospitality segments. Sales were also negatively impactedmarket segments, partially offset by the exit of FLOR specialty retail stores at the end of the first quarter of 2017. As noted above, we launched LVThigher sales in the first quarter of 2017. Sales of these products are progressing according to planeducation and have been primarily in the Americas, although they were launched in Europe and Asia-Pacific in the second quarter of this year and sales activity in those regions is progressing in line with expectations as well.

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.same period last year.

Segment Operating Results
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a resultcost center realignment initiative to centralize certain global/shared functions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, SG&A expenses for these global support functions were allocated to AOI for each reportable segment consistent with the allocation methodology used to allocate corporate overhead in prior periods. Prior year AOI amounts below were not recast as there was no material impact to the measure of segment profit for each reportable segment. There were no changes to the composition of the Company’s productivity initiatives delivering benefits slightly in advance of higher raw material input pricesoperating or reportable segments.

For the three months ended October 1, 2017, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expensesin AMS increased $0.5 million (0.7%)0.4% 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 compensation2023 primarily due to higher projected attainment of performance goalssales prices partially offset by lower volume. On a market segment basis, the AMS sales increase was primarily in the thirdeducation, residential living, and public buildings market segments, partially offset by decreases in the corporate office, retail and healthcare market segments.

AOI in AMS increased 60.4% during the first quarter of 2017 as2024 compared to the prior year period. This increase in incentive-based compensation was offset almost entirely by (1) lower selling expensesperiod primarily due to higher sales pricing and lower raw material and freight costs compared to the exitsame period last year.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At March 31, 2024, the Company had $89.8 million in cash. At that date, the Company had $96.0 million in term loan borrowings, no revolving loan borrowings, and $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under our Facility, and we had $300.0 million of Senior Notes outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, we had additional borrowing capacity of $298.4 million under the Facility. We anticipate that our liquidity is sufficient to meet our obligations for the next 12 months, and we expect to generate sufficient cash to meet our long-term obligations.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the FLOR specialty retail stores, (2)Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under its Facility. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries and certain non-material domestic subsidiaries are considered non-guarantors. Net sales for the non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $133 million and $141 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023, respectively. Total indebtedness of the non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $128 million and $133 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Accounts receivable, net, were $147.2 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $163.4 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease of $16.2 million was primarily due to customer collections and the impact of lower functional expenses as we continue our transition to more centralized services, and (3) savingsnet sales as a result of our restructuring plans implementeddecreased customer demand in the fourthfirst quarter of 2016. These savings2024.
Inventories, net, were realized despite$296.3 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $279.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $17.2 million was primarily due to finished goods inventory build attributable to expected higher expenses associated with our LVT product launchescustomer demand in 2017. Asthe remainder of 2024, partially offset by lower raw material costs.

Table of sales, our SG&A expenses declined to 26.3%Contents
Cash provided by operating activities was $12.6 million for the three months ended October 1, 2017 versus 27.0% forMarch 31, 2024, which represents a decrease of $17.0 million from the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital during the first three months of 2024 compared with the first three months of 2023. Specifically, the prior year comparable period includes a greater source of cash from accounts receivable collections compared with the first three months of 2024, primarily attributable to delays in 2016.

Forcustomer billings from the nine-month ended October 1, 2017, SG&A expenses decreased $2.5 million (1.2%) versus the comparable periodCyber Event, in 2016. This decline was a function of decreaseswhich those delayed billings were collected in the first sixquarter of 2023. Additionally, the increase in inventories during the first three months of 2017 offset by2024, as described above, resulted in a slight increaegreater use of cash compared with the same period in the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended October 1, 2017. FluctuationsMarch 31, 2024, which represents a decrease of $3.7 million from the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily attributable to cash proceeds received from the sale of manufacturing equipment and insurance proceeds for property casualty losses, both of which partially offset cash used for capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Cash used in currency exchanges rates did not have a significant impact on the comparison. The declinefinancing activities was $29.8 million for the nine-month periodthree months ended March 31, 2024, which represents an increase of $8.7 million from the prior year comparable period. The year-over-year increase was 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 compensationprimarily due to lower revolving loan borrowings combined with 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 period ended October 1, 2017, our interest expense increased $0.2 million to $1.9 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 million in the comparable period last year. The increases were due to higher weighted average borrowing rates for the 2017 periods versus those of 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, we had $78.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. At that date, we had outstanding $173.8 millionrepayments of term loan borrowings $60.8 million of revolving loan borrowings and $6.0 million in letters of credit under our Syndicated Credit Facility.

As of October 1, 2017, we could have incurred $183.2 million of additional borrowings under our Syndicated Credit Facility. In addition, we could have incurred an additional $9.8 million of borrowings under our other lines of credit in place at other non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Analysis 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 ninethree months ended March 31, 2024.

Outlook

We anticipate revenue growth in the second quarter of the year. The decrease in cash was primarily a result of cash outflows for financing activities,fiscal year 2024 compared with the mostfirst quarter of 2024. During the first half of fiscal year 2024, the Company also expects continued year-over-year decreases in the cost per unit of various raw material purchases which will benefit gross profit margins in 2024. We also anticipate that the continued slow macro environment in China, high interest rates, and significant financial pressures in the commercial office market globally will continue to adversely impact our performance and demand for our products.
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 being (1) $81.1 millionincluding raw material availability and cost, and demand for our products.
Backlog
As of cash used to repurchase and retire 4.2 million sharesApril 21, 2024, the consolidated backlog of unshipped orders was approximately $224.3 million. As disclosed in 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 millionAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the paymentsfiscal year ended December 31, 2023, backlog was approximately $195.5 million as of dividends. These financing cash outflows were partially offset by $20.0 millionFebruary 4, 2024. Disruptions in supply and distribution chains have resulted in delays of borrowings underconstruction projects and flooring installations in many regions worldwide, which have also caused, and may continue to cause, fluctuations in our Syndicated Credit Facility. We also used cashbacklog.

Table of $22.8 million for capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2017. These uses were partially offset by $67.9 million of cash generated from operating activities during the nine-month 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 generated due to an increase in accounts payable and accruals. These inflows were partially offset by operating cash outflows of $22.4 million due to an increase in inventory.

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 31, 2023, under Part II, Item 7A of that Form 10-K. OurThe discussion here focuses on the periodthree months ended October 1, 2017,March 31, 2024, 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, SOFR, or LIBORother benchmark 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, SOFR, or LIBORother benchmark 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.

December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

As of October 1, 2017,March 31, 2024, based on a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt would be impacted by a net decrease of $11.3 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase in the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt of $11.9 million.

As of March 31, 2024, 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$9.1 million or an increase in the fair value of our financial instruments of $11.7$11.1 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.
