NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 ofRegulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2011(“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 25, 2011 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in ourForm 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes primarily as a result of organizational changes to strengthen our position as a globally integrated enterprise. The accompanying segment data for all prior periods has been reclassified to reflect these realignments. See Note 7 for additional information regarding our reportable segments.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include performance units and restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the performance period. Basic earnings per share of participating securities is the same as basic earnings per share of common stock for all periods presented. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of options and certain performance shares and performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the performance period. However, for the three months ended May 27, 2011 and May 28, 2010, diluted earnings per share does not reflect the effect of options, performance shares and

certain performance units totaling 2.3 million and 4.4 million, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to shareholders’ equity except those due to investments by, and distributions to, shareholders.

Total comprehensive income (loss)						$	8.9								$	(27.6	)

Foreign currency translation adjustments reflect the impact of the changes in certain foreign currency values (principally the euro, pound sterling and Canadian dollar) relative to the U.S. dollar. As of May 27, 2011, approximately 35% of our assets were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the majority of which were denominated in euros.

4.   FAIR VALUE

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

STEELCASE INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $543.5 and $546.8 as of May 27, 2011 and February 25, 2011, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $558 and $555 as of May 27, 2011 and February 25, 2011, respectively.

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

6.   STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Performance Units

In Q1 2012, we awarded a target of 485,845 performance units to our executive officers. These performance units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2012 through 2014, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies. The number of units that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, therefore the maximum number of performance units that can be issued under the award is 971,690. For this award, a dividend equivalent is calculated based on the actual number of units earned at the end of the performance period, equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned units had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The award will be forfeited if a participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the plan and determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion. If a change in control occurs at least six months following the award date, the target award will be deemed to be earned and a pro rata number of units will be vested and paid based upon the length of time within the performance period which has elapsed prior to the effective date of the change in control. The fair value of the performance

units awarded was calculated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

	2012 Awards			2011 Awards			2010 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)		1.4	%		1.7	%		1.3	%
Expected term		3 years			3 years			3 years
Estimated volatility (2)		50.9	%		49.2	%		41.3	%
Weighted-average grant-date fair value per unit	$	16.09		$	9.14		$	7.20

(1)	Based on the U.S. government bond benchmark on the grant date.
(2)	Represents the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock for the three-year period preceding the grant date.

The total performance units expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three months ended May 27, 2011 and May 28, 2010 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	May 27,		May 28,
Performance Units	2011		2010
Expense	$	4.9	$	3.4
Tax benefit		1.9		1.3

The performance units activity for the three months ended May 27, 2011 is as follows:

			Weighted-Average
			Grant Date
Maximum Number of Nonvested Units	Total		Fair Value per Unit (2)
Nonvested as of February 25, 2011		3,024,000		4.22
Granted		971,690		8.05
Nonvested as of May 27, 2011 (1)		3,995,690		5.15

(1)	Total nonvested units include 390,500 units, which represents the 25% portion of the awards granted in 2011 and 2010 which are not subject to performance conditions.
(2)	The fair value per unit presented in this table has been adjusted to align with the presentation of the awards at maximum.

As of May 27, 2011, there is $6.8 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

In Q1 2012, we awarded 260,155 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), of which 252,655 were to our executive officers. These RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse approximately three years after the date of grant awarded, at which time RSUs are issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. These awards are subject to forfeiture if a participant leaves our company for reasons other than retirement, disability, death or termination by us without cause prior to the vesting date.

7.   REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes primarily as a result of organizational changes to strengthen our position as a globally integrated enterprise. The organizational changes consisted of the realignment of the reporting structure for the Steelcase brand in North America, Latin America and the region of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).

As a result of these changes, our reportable segments were realigned to reflect the organizational structure used by the Chief Executive Officer for making operating and investment decisions and assessing performance. Our reportable segments now consist of (1) the Americas segment, (2) the EMEA segment and (3) the Other category. Unallocated corporate expenses are reported as Corporate.

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Turnstone, Details and Nurture by Steelcase brands. In addition, the Coalesse operating segment has been aggregated with the Americas.

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, PolyVision and Designtex. IDEO was included in the Other category through Q3 2011, but due to the ownership transition, our remaining 20% share of IDEO income has been recorded as a non-operating item since Q4 2011. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture

systems, storage and seating solutions. PolyVision designs and manufactures visual communication products, such as static and interactive electronic whiteboards which are sold into the primary and secondary education markets around the world. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers through a direct sales force.

On December 14, 2010, certain members of the management of IDEO purchased an additional 60% equity interest in IDEO pursuant to an agreement entered into during 2008. We retained a 20% equity interest in IDEO, and we expect to continue our collaborative relationship after this transition. In Q4 2011, we deconsolidated the operations of IDEO and recorded our share of IDEO’s earnings as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates inOther income, neton the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

STEELCASE INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

For the year ended February 25, 2011 and the interim periods therein, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included the following related to IDEO:

	First		Second		Third
IDEO	Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Total
2011
Revenue	$	35.1	$	35.2	$	33.1	$	103.4
Gross profit		16.9		14.6		15.6		47.1
Operating income (1)		4.8		3.3		3.7		11.8

(1) Operating income did not include variable compensation expense of approximately $7 earned by IDEO management in 2011 related to a contingent stock bonus program that was recognized and applied toward the purchase price in Q4 2011.

Dealer Acquisition

In Q1 2012, Office Environments of New England, LLC (“OENE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steelcase Inc., acquired substantially all the assets of bkm Total Office (“BKM”) for cash consideration of approximately $17.9. OENE and BKM, both authorized Steelcase dealers, have combined to create a regional enterprise supporting workplace needs that will offer a broadened portfolio of products and services and expanded geographical coverage in New England. As a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded goodwill of $2.3. The combined dealers are included in the Americas segment. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed when we obtain information sufficient to complete the formal valuation of intangible assets and working capital adjustments, but in any case, within one year after acquisition. The purchase of BKM did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

9.   RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q2 2012, we initiated a formal procedure of discussions with the work council in Morocco regarding the closure of our local manufacturing facility within our EMEA segment. We expect to move production to other Steelcase locations in EMEA over the next three months. In addition, PolyVision signed a letter of intent to transfer its remaining low margin whiteboard fabrication business in Europe to a third party, and the transaction is expected to close in Q2 2012. In conjunction with both these actions, we expect to incur approximately $10 of restructuring costs. The majority of the charges in EMEA will relate to workforce reductions and some additional non-cash costs for manufacturing consolidation while the charges at PolyVision are a result of a non-cash loss on sale. No restructuring costs were recorded for these projects in Q1 2012.

In Q4 2011, we announced the planned closure of three additional manufacturing facilities in North America as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the fitness of our business and strengthen the Company’s long-term competitiveness. We are in the process of moving production within these facilities to other Steelcase locations in North America and expect the manufacturing consolidation to continue through the first half of fiscal year 2013. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $40, with approximately $30 related to workforce reductions and approximately $10 related to costs associated with manufacturing consolidation and production moves. During Q1 2012 and Q4 2011, we accrued restructuring costs of $7.2 and $10.1, respectively. These costs primarily related to workforce reductions and were recorded within the Americas segment.

In Q1 2011, we announced a project to reorganize our European manufacturing operations on the basis of specialized competencies. During Q1 2012, we incurred restructuring costs of $1.4. This project is now substantially complete, and total restructuring costs approximated $20. The majority of these costs related to workforce reductions and some additional costs for manufacturing consolidation and production moves within the EMEA segment. The remaining restructuring costs recorded in Q1 2012 were related to contingencies associated with a former plant in France, which was sold in Q4 2010.

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

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2011. Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a specific date. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used are: (1) organic revenue growth, which represents the change in revenue over the prior year excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of the IDEO ownership transition and a recent dealer acquisition, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

Financial Summary

Results of Operations

As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes primarily as a result of organizational changes to strengthen our position as a globally integrated enterprise. Thus, our reportable segments now consist of (1) the Americas segment, (2) the EMEA segment and (3) the Other category. The accompanying segment data for all prior periods has been reclassified to reflect these realignments. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and “Business Segment Review” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information on our reportable business segments.

Overview

We experienced organic revenue growth across all of our segments in Q1 2012. The growth is generally consistent with or better than global trends in our industry. Companies have been increasing corporate spending thus far in the economic recovery, leveraging the strength of their cash positions, even though white collar employment and new construction (traditional industry drivers) have been slow to regain momentum. While the broader economic recovery remains challenged by a variety of headwinds, many of our customers have deferred spending during a decade in which various forces have had exponential consequences on their work environments. We have been conducting research and launching new products, applications and experiences over the past several years to address these forces, some of which include globalization trends, miniaturization of technology, mobility of workers, increased collaboration and multi-generations at work. We believe staying invested in these growth initiatives during the worst of the recession helped us establish a strong foundation for revenue growth as our customers begin to increase spending.

We reported net income of $7.5 in Q1 2012 compared to a net loss of $11.1 in Q1 2011. The increase in net income was driven by higher operating income across all of our segments and lower income tax expense, offset by increased interest expense associated with the issuance of senior notes in Q4 2011. Income tax expense in the prior year included a charge of $11.4 from the recently enacted U.S. healthcare reform legislation specifically related to the Medicare Part D subsidy.

Revenue increased $97.6 or 18.0% in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011. The revenue comparison over prior year was negatively impacted by $35 from the IDEO ownership transition offset by $10 of favorable currency translation effects and $5 of sales related to a dealer acquired in May 2011. After adjusting for these impacts, organic revenue growth was $118 or 23% in Q1 2012. All segments posted organic revenue growth compared to Q1 2011.

Operating income grew to $15.0 in Q1 2012, compared to an operating loss of $1.4 in Q1 2011, which included $4.8 of operating income from IDEO, which has since been deconsolidated. Adjusted operating income of $24.9 increased $23.8 compared to Q1 2011, primarily due to operating leverage from organic revenue growth, offset in part by approximately $9 of higher commodity costs and the impact of deconsolidating IDEO.

Cost of sales decreased by 10 basis points to 69.8% of revenue in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011. Excluding the impact of deconsolidating IDEO, cost of sales decreased 130 basis points. Higher commodity costs were more than offset by higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth in the quarter and benefits from previous restructuring activities.

Operating expenses increased $6.3 compared to the same period last year. Prior year operating expenses included $12.1 related to IDEO, which has since been deconsolidated. Aside from this item, the increase was primarily due to:

•  $11.3 of higher variable compensation (including expenses associated with our EVA-based bonus programs, executive stock-based compensation, and the Steelcase Inc. Retirement plan),

•  $3 due to currency translation effects, and

•  $1.1 of operating expenses related to a dealer acquired in Q1 2012.

Business Segment Review

See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our business segments.

Americas

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Turnstone, Details and Nurture by Steelcase brands.

Add: Restructuring costs		7.3	1.8			1.4	0.4
Adjusted operating income	$	28.4	6.9	%	$	12.7	3.8	%

Current quarter operating income of $21.1 represents an increase of $9.8 compared to $11.3 of operating income in Q1 2011. Adjusted operating income increased $15.7 due to operating leverage from organic revenue growth, offset in part by $7 of higher commodity costs.

The Americas revenue represented 63.9% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2012. Revenue increased $76.3 or 23.0% in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011, representing organic revenue growth of 21% after

16

adjusting for favorable currency translation effects of $2 and revenue of $5 from a dealer acquisition. Revenue growth is categorized as follows:

•  Vertical markets— Revenue growth rates were broad based across almost all vertical markets with notable strength in the information technology, technical professional, manufacturing and retail sectors. Healthcare, education and government (as a group) also increased in the quarter, despite weakness in state and local government.

•  Contract type— Continuing business(day-to-day sales to larger customers) and marketing program business (mostly sales to smaller customers) grew more significantly than project business.

•  Product categories— Revenue growth rates were strongest in the wood and technology product categories, as well as across the Details and Turnstone brands. Seating and furniture revenue growth rates approximated the overall average.

•  Geographies— Almost all geographies reported strong double-digit growth rates versus the prior year.

Cost of sales decreased to 70.4% of revenue in Q1 2012, a 100 basis point improvement compared to Q1 2011, which was largely driven by higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth, partially offset by higher commodity costs.

Operating expenses increased by $10.1 in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011. The increase was driven by increased variable compensation costs and $1.1 of operating expenses related to a dealer acquired during the current quarter.

Restructuring costs of $7.3 incurred in Q1 2012 primarily related to workforce reductions associated with the North American manufacturing consolidation announced in Q4 2011.

EMEA

The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase brand, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.

The current quarter operating loss of $0.1 represents an improvement of $7.6 compared to Q1 2011 operating loss of $7.7. Adjusted operating income improved $10.1, primarily driven by operating leverage from the organic revenue growth in the quarter and benefits from previous restructuring activities, offset in part by higher commodity costs and other operating costs.

17

EMEA revenue represented 24.1% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2012. Current quarter revenue increased $43.2 or 39.0% compared to Q1 2011. After adjusting for favorable currency translation effects of $8, organic revenue growth was $35 or 30%. All regions reported double digit organic revenue growth rates, except France which grew modestly.

Cost of sales decreased to 70.7% of revenue in Q1 2012, a 260 basis point improvement compared to Q1 2011. The improvement was mainly due to higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth in the quarter and benefits from previous restructuring activities and other cost reduction efforts, offset in part by higher commodity costs.

Operating expenses increased by $5.4, primarily due to currency translation effects of $3.

Restructuring costs of $2.7 incurred in Q1 2012 primarily related to the completion of actions launched in prior periods. In early Q2 2012, we announced the planned closure of a manufacturing facility in Morocco. We expect to move production to other Steelcase locations within EMEA over the next three months. No restructuring costs were recorded for this project in Q1 2012.

Other

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, PolyVision and Designtex. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions. PolyVision designs and manufactures visual communication products, such as static and interactive electronic whiteboards which are sold into the primary and secondary education markets around the world. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers through a direct sales force. IDEO was consolidated in the Other category through Q3 2011, but due to the ownership transition, our remaining 20% share of IDEO income has been recorded as a non-operating item since Q4 2011.

Current quarter operating income of $2.6 represents an increase of $1.4 compared to Q1 2011 operating income of $1.2, which included $4.8 from IDEO, which has since been deconsolidated. Adjusted operating income improved by $0.4 in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011. Operating income increased despite the deconsolidation effect of the IDEO ownership transition, primarily due to operating leverage from the organic revenue growth in the quarter and benefits of previous restructuring activities.

Q1 2012 revenue decreased $21.9 or 22.1% compared to Q1 2011. Excluding the decrease in revenue of $35 due to the IDEO ownership transition, organic revenue growth was $13 or 21%, driven by strength in the Asia Pacific region.

18

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 65.0% in Q1 2012 compared to 61.4% in Q1 2011. After adjusting for the deconsolidation of IDEO, costs of sales improved by 160 basis points, primarily due to higher absorption of fixed costs associated with the organic revenue growth in the quarter and benefits from previous restructuring activities.

Q1 2012 operating expenses were relatively consistent with the prior year quarter after excluding $12.1 of expenses from IDEO in the prior year.

Corporate

Approximately 80% of corporate expenses are charged to the operating segments as part of a corporate allocation. Unallocated portions of these expenses are considered general corporate costs and are reported as Corporate. Corporate costs include unallocated portions of executive costs and shared service functions such as information technology, human resources, finance, legal, research and development and corporate facilities.

The increase in Corporate expenses primarily related to higher variable compensation expense in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $100 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund theday-to-day operations of the business, provide available liquidity for investments in growth initiatives and serve as a cushion against economic volatility. Our actual cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as we plan for and manage certain seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year, when applicable.

Availability under credit facilities		172.6		165.7
Total liquidity	$	683.4	$	769.0

As of May 27, 2011, we held a total of $398.8 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, including $246.9 from the net proceeds received in Q4 2011 from the issuance of unsecured unsubordinated senior notes, due in February 2021. The net proceeds were invested in short-term managed investment accounts and are expected to be used, together with available cash on hand, to repay the outstanding $250 aggregate principal amount of our 6.5% senior notes due August 15, 2011. There are no restrictions on the use or access of these assets.

Of our total cash and cash equivalents, approximately 40% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 60% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in Asia, France and Canada. The majority of

19

our short-term investments are located in the U.S. and are maintained in a managed investment portfolio which primarily consists of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency and corporate debt instruments.

Our investments in company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies are recorded at their net cash surrender value. We consider our investments in variable life COLI policies to be primarily a source of corporate liquidity, and our investments in whole life COLI policies represent an additional potential source of liquidity, as their designation to fund employee benefit plan obligations can be changed at any time. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our variable and whole life COLI policies are sufficient to meet their obligations to us.

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced by the use of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for purposes other than the repayment of debt as a result of constraints related to our maximum leverage ratio covenant. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

In Q1 2012 the primary use of cash in financing activities was the repurchase of common stock and the payment of our quarterly dividend.

We paid dividends of $0.06 per common share during the first quarter of 2012 and $0.04 per common share during each quarter of 2011. On June 22, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per common share to be paid in Q2 2012.

As of the end of Q1 2012, we had $189.4 of remaining availability under the $250 share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in Q4 2008. We have no outstanding share repurchase commitments.

Our $125 global committed, syndicated credit facility expires in Q4 2013. As of May 27, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility. The facility requires us to satisfy financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Additionally, the facility requires us to comply with certain other terms and conditions, including a restricted payment covenant which establishes a maximum level of dividendsand/or other equity-related distributions or payments (such as share repurchases) we may make in a fiscal year. As of May 27, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

The various uncommitted lines may be changed or cancelled by the banks at any time. Outstanding borrowings on uncommitted facilities of $0.3 as of May 27, 2011 were primarily related to short-term liquidity management within our EMEA segment. In addition, we have a revolving letter of credit agreement for $15.5 of which $14.7 was utilized, primarily related to our reserve for self-insured workers’ compensation claim costs as of May 27, 2011. There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q1 2012 or 2011.

Total consolidated debt as of May 27, 2011 was $543.5. Our debt primarily consists of $250.0 in term notes due in Q2 2012 (“2012 Notes”) with an effective interest rate of 6.3% and $249.9 in term notes due in Q4 2021 (“2021 Notes”) with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. The 2012 Notes are classified as short-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are due within one year. The 2021 Notes were issued in Q4 2011, and the proceeds of the notes have been invested in short-term investments. It is our intention to use these funds and other available cash on hand to pay off the 2012 Notes when they come due. In addition, we have a $42.5 term loan due in Q2 2017 at a floating interest rate based on30-day LIBOR plus 3.35%. The term notes are unsecured, while the term loan is secured by our two corporate aircrafts. Neither the term notes nor the term loan contain financial covenants or are cross-defaulted to other debt facilities.

Liquidity Outlook

Our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, cash generated from future operations, funds available from COLI and funds available under our credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs. We believe there are indicators that most geographies and markets around the world have emerged from the adverse impacts of the global economic recession, although the strength and continuity of the economic recovery remain uncertain which may continue to challenge our level of cash generation from operations. We continue to maintain a conservative approach to liquidity and maintain flexibility over significant uses of cash including our capital expenditures and discretionary operating expenses.

It is our current intention to repay the 2012 Notes at or before maturity with the proceeds from the 2021 Notes and other available cash on hand. Our other significant funding requirements include operating expenses, non-cancelable operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, variable compensation and retirement plan contributions, dividend payments and debt service obligations.

We expect capital expenditures to total approximately $70 in 2012 compared to $46 in 2011. Capital expenditures in 2012 are expected to include progress payments associated with a replacement corporate aircraft totaling $20 and approximately $10 in spending on corporate facilities as a result of campus consolidation in Western Michigan. We closely manage capital spending to ensure we are making investments that we believe will sustain our business and preserve our ability to introduce innovative new products.

In Q4 2011, we announced the planned closure of three additional manufacturing facilities in North America as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the fitness of our business and strengthen the Company’s long-term competitiveness. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $40, with approximately $30 related to workforce reductions and approximately $10 related to costs associated with manufacturing consolidation and production moves. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

In Q2 2012, we initiated a formal procedure of discussions with the work council in Morocco regarding the closure of our local manufacturing facility within our EMEA segment. We expect to move

22

production to other Steelcase locations in EMEA over the next three months. In addition, PolyVision signed a letter of intent to transfer its remaining low margin whiteboard fabrication business in Europe to a third party, and the transaction is expected to close in Q2 2012. In conjunction with both these actions, we expect to incur approximately $10 of restructuring costs. The majority of the charges in EMEA will relate to workforce reductions and some additional non-cash costs for manufacturing consolidation while the charges at PolyVision are a result of a non-cash loss on sale. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

On June 22, 2011, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.06 per share, or $7.9 to be paid in Q2 2012. Future dividends are subject to declaration by our Board of Directors.
