NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2006 (“Form 10-K”). As used in this Report, unless otherwise expressly stated or the content otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year. Additionally, Q1 references the first quarter of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except per share data, data presented as a percentage or unless otherwise indicated.
Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
2. | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD |
On February 25, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment (revised 2004), using the modified prospective transition method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), our policy was to expense stock-based compensation using the fair-value based method of accounting for all awards granted, modified or settled in accordance with SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to 2004, our stock-based compensation consisted only of stock options, and we accounted for them under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Given the terms of the plans, no stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) had the following impact in Q1 2007: Income before income taxes was reduced by $0.7, net income was reduced by $0.4, cash flow from operations was reduced by $2.2 and cash flow from financing activities increased by $2.2. There was no impact on basic or diluted earnings per share.
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards, that provides a practical transition election related to accounting for the tax effects of share-based payment awards to employees. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of

SFAS No. 123(R). We are in the process of evaluating whether to adopt the provisions of FSP 123(R)-3 and will make our election before the end of 2007.
The following table details the effect on net income and earnings per share had stock-based compensation expense been recorded for Q1 2006 based on the fair-value method under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share for Q1 2007 are the same because stock-based compensation expense was calculated and recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

Potentially dilutive shares resulting from stock incentive plan awards | 1.5 | 0.3 | ||||||
Denominator for diluted EPS | 150.8 | 148.5 |
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effect of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the shares under our stock incentive plans had been issued and the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted shares to the extent those shares have not vested.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. However, diluted earnings per share does not include the effects of 1.2 shares related to outstanding stock incentive plan awards as of Q1 2007 and 8.0 shares as of Q1 2006 because those shares or potential shares were anti-dilutive.

In Q1 2007, foreign currency translation income was primarily due to the strengthening of the euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. In Q1 2006, foreign currency translation losses were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro.
5. | INVENTORIES |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The North America segment primarily uses the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method to value its inventories. Companies in the Steelcase Design Partnership (“SDP”) segment primarily use the first in, first out (“FIFO”) or the average cost inventory valuation methods. Companies in the International segment value their inventories using the FIFO method.

The portion of inventories determined by the LIFO method aggregated $67.1 as of May 26, 2006 and $61.9 as of February 24, 2006.
Finished goods inventory increased primarily in our North America segment due to increased sales volume, period-end timing, and additional finished goods being produced and held at regional distribution centers in North America as part of a strategy to improve customer service.

The increase in International assets is primarily due to the fluctuation of foreign currency translation rates. The decrease in Other assets is primarily due to a decrease in corporate cash balances used to make annual retirement plan contributions and variable compensation payments.
10. | GUARANTEES, PERFORMANCE BONDS AND PRODUCT WARRANTY |
Guarantees and Performance Bonds |
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered from third parties) we could be required to make under guarantees and performance bonds are as follows:

Guarantees with dealers and joint ventures | 1.4 | 1.4 | ||||||
Guarantees—other | 0.9 | 1.0 | ||||||
Total | $ | 9.9 | $ | 10.0 | ||||
We are party to performance bonds for certain installation or construction activities for a limited number of Steelcase dealers and joint ventures. Under these agreements, we are liable to make financial payments if the installation or construction activities are not completed under their specified guidelines and claims are filed. Projects with performance bonds have completion dates ranging from one to five years. Where we have supplied performance bonds, we have the ability to step in and cure performance failures thereby mitigating our potential losses. No loss has been experienced under these performance bonds; however, reserves totaling $0.2 are recorded as of May 26, 2006 to cover potential losses.
We are contingently liable under guarantees to third parties for the benefit of certain Steelcase dealers and joint ventures in the event of default of a financial obligation. The guarantees generally have terms ranging from one to ten years. No losses have been experienced; however, reserves totaling $0.3 are recorded as of May 26, 2006 to cover potential losses for loan guarantees entered into subsequent to December 31, 2002.
We occasionally provide guarantees of the performance of certain of our dealers to third parties. These performance guarantees typically relate to dealer services such as delivery and installation of products. In the event that a dealer cannot complete these services in a timely manner, we guarantee the completion of these activities. It is not possible to estimate a potential liability under these types

of guarantees because of the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement.
Product Warranty |
The accrued liability for warranty costs, included within other accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is based on an estimated amount needed to cover future warranty obligations for products sold as of the balance sheet date and is determined by historical product data and management’s knowledge of current events and actions.

Under the Steelcase Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”), the Compensation Committee approved the granting of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to key employees. Restricted shares and RSUs will be forfeited if a participant leaves the Company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death prior to the vesting date. These restrictions lapse when the restricted shares and RSUs vest three years from the date of grant. When RSUs vest, they will be converted to unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock.
Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), the aggregate market value on the grant date of the restricted shares were recorded as common stock and deferred compensation, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Upon adopting SFAS 123(R), the deferred compensation account was netted against common stock. Restricted shares are now expensed and recorded in common stock over the three-year vesting period based on the value of the shares on the grant date. RSUs are expensed and recorded inAdditional paid in capitalwithin the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the three-year vesting period based on the value of the shares on the grant date. The amount expensed in Q1 2007 and Q1 2006 for restricted stock and RSUs was $0.7 and $0.8, respectively. The associated tax benefit recognized was $0.3 and $0.3 in Q1 2007 and Q1 2006, respectively.
Holders of restricted stock receive cash dividends equal to the dividends that the Company declares and pays on the Class A Common Stock, which is included inDividends paidin the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Holders of RSUs receive quarterly cash payments equal to the dividend that the Company declares and pays on its Class A Common Stock, which are expensed as paid.
Additionally, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee have delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the administrative authority to award restricted shares to employees in amounts considered immaterial to the Incentive Compensation Plan. The awards are subject to limitations and the provisions of the Incentive Compensation Plan and are reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The limitations include, but are not limited to, the number of shares of

As of May 26, 2006, there was $3.3 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock and RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares and RSUs vested during the quarter ended May 26, 2006, was $4.3. Under SFAS 123(R), grants to retiree-eligible employees are considered fully vested. No shares were vested prior to Q1 2007.
Performance Shares and Performance Units |
In Q1 2007, the Company made awards of performance shares and performance units (“PSUs”) under the Incentive Compensation Plan. The performance measure for the 2007 awards is based on a combination of a cumulative three-year cash flow calculation and a cumulative three-year operating income calculation which meet the definitions within the Incentive Compensation Plan for performance-based compensation.
After completion of the performance period for performance shares and PSUs, the number of the shares earned is determined and are issued as Class A Common Stock as they vest. Performance shares granted in 2007 fully vest at the end of the performance period.
For performance shares and PSUs granted prior to 2007, one-third of the shares vest at the end of the three-year performance period and the remaining two-thirds vest over the next two years. At the end of the performance period for PSUs granted prior to 2007, one-third are issued as Class A Common Stock. The remaining two-thirds will vest and will be issued as Class A Common Stock over the next two years.
Performance shares and PSUs are expensed and recorded inAdditional paid in capitalwithin the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity over the three to five year performance and vesting period based on the market value on the grant date and the estimated number of shares to be issued. The amount expensed in Q1 2007 and Q1 2006 was $1.5 and $0.4, respectively. The associated tax benefit recognized was $0.6 and $0.1 in Q1 2007 and Q1 2006, respectively.
For both performance shares and PSUs, a dividend equivalent is calculated on the basis of the actual number of shares earned at the end of the three-year performance period. The dividend equivalent is equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares had they been held during the entire performance period. The dividend equivalent on performance shares and PSU’s are expensed and accrued over the three-year performance period. At the end of this period, the dividend equivalents will be paid.

Overview
Revenue increased 7.6% in Q1 2007 compared to the prior year. Revenue increased for all of our reportable segments, primarily driven by growth of 7.2% in our North America segment and 9.6% in our International segment compared to last year. Current quarter revenue included $5.4 related to acquisitions in our North America and International segments that were completed in the prior year but after the first quarter. Q1 2007 revenue also included $4.8 of unfavorable currency translation effects versus the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percent of revenue was 69.2% during Q1 2007, which is consistent with Q1 2006. Improved pricing yield and the benefits of prior restructuring actions helped offset higher material costs and lower margins in certain product categories. Gross profit improved by 0.8 percentage points in Q1 2007 compared to Q1 2006 due to lower restructuring costs.
Operating expenses as a percent of revenue in the current year improved by 0.6 percentage points over the prior year, primarily due to continued cost control and leverage from higher sales volume. The dollar increase in operating expenses was the result of an increase in variable compensation expense, higher sales and marketing spending across our International locations, and acquisitions completed in the prior year but after Q1. These increases were partially offset by favorable currency translation effects as compared to the prior year.
Operating income of $28.0 in Q1 2007 improved from $15.2 in Q1 2006 due to better performance in our North America and International segments, as well as lower restructuring charges. Q1 2007 restructuring charges include $2.0 related to our North America plant consolidation initiative and $2.1 related to our restructuring efforts in Europe. Further detail of the restructuring costs is found in the “Business Segment Review” which follows.

Our current estimate of taxable income for the year will result in an effective tax rate of approximately 37.0% which is consistent with our anticipated long-term effective rate of approximately 37% to 38%.
Net income in Q1 2007 of $18.2 improved by $11.5 from the prior year.
We recently launched a new brand called Nurture to serve the health care market. The products included in the Nurture offering are part of our existing office furniture portfolio and are included in results for the North America and SDP segments.

Interest expense in Q1 2007 was lower than the prior year due to a lower average debt balance in the current year. Interest income in Q1 2007 was higher than the prior year due to a higher average cash balance and higher market interest rates. Elimination of minority interest in consolidated dealers was higher in Q1 2007 than Q1 2006 due to increased profitability of these dealers. The foreign exchange gain in the current year primarily resulted from gains on currency derivatives.

North America generated higher profits in Q1 2007 compared to Q1 2006, driven by higher volume, improved price yield management, and improvements in operating expenses as a percentage of sales, despite an inflationary cost environment and lower margins in the wood category.
North America revenue increased 7.2% and accounted for 56.0% of consolidated revenue for the quarter. The revenue growth is attributed to increased sales across most of our product categories. Much of the growth in North America was from Turnstone and the Architectural product lines, both of which saw double digit growth. In the other product categories, a relatively high percentage of Q1 2007 orders were scheduled for shipment in Q2 2007. Current quarter revenue also included $3.7 from an acquisition that was completed during the second quarter of the prior year and $2.2 from favorable currency impacts compared to the prior year related to our operations in Canada.
Cost of sales, which is reported separately from restructuring charges, improved 0.5 percentage points over the prior quarter due to improved pricing yield, benefits from reducing the complexity of our product lines, benefits from prior restructuring activities, and improved overhead absorption. These improvements were partially offset by lower margins in our wood category. Additionally, North America experienced higher costs related to energy and non-steel material costs compared to the prior year.
The wood category reduced the operating income of our North America segment by nearly $10 million in the first quarter on a fully allocated basis. A portion of this loss was due to one particularly unprofitable order largely because of aggressive pricing relative to the complexity of that project. In addition, other aggressively priced contracts negotiated when the industry was in the early stages of recovery led to lower-than-expected margins.
We also have operational issues in the wood category. As part of our multi-year industrial system improvement work, in 2005, we consolidated three wood factories into one to reduce excess capacity. We have captured overhead savings from these actions, but are experiencing higher costs because of the increase in complexity in the remaining plant. We are actively implementing a number of operational and marketing initiatives to improve profitability.
Operating expenses improved to 22.3% of revenue in the current quarter from 22.5% in the prior year, due to higher revenue and continued spending control. On a dollar basis, spending increased $5.0 due to several factors including increased variable compensation expense, the launch of the Nurture healthcare brand, and operating expenses related to a prior year acquisition.
During Q1 2007, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Ashley Capital for the sale of the majority of our Grand Rapids campus. The sale is contingent upon the successful completion of negotiations and the satisfaction of customary conditions to the closing. We expect to close on the sale by the end of the calendar year and do not expect a significant gain or loss on this transaction.

SDP gross margins of 36.9% during Q1 2007 decreased from 38.3% in the prior year as a result of higher discounts on some larger orders that shipped during the quarter and higher material costs for foam, corrugated packaging and particle board.

International revenue represented 23.0% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2007, and increased 9.6% compared to the prior year. Currency translation had the effect of reducing revenue by $7.0 as compared to the prior year, so growth in local currency was stronger. Current year revenue included $1.7 from prior year acquisitions that were completed after the first quarter. We experiencedyear-over-year sales growth in all of our major markets, but particularly strong growth rates in Asia, Latin America and the U.K.
Gross profit was 31.5% of revenue during Q1 2007, a 1.8 percentage point improvement versus Q1 2006. The increase in gross margin during the current quarter was primarily due to leverage from higher sales volume, favorable project mix and benefits from prior restructuring activities.
Restructuring costs during Q1 2007 included a $1.4 impairment charge on our idle Strasbourg site. During the quarter, we had preliminary discussions with a potential buyer for the site, and the estimated selling price from these discussions was lower than the recorded book value, resulting in the charge. We also recorded $0.7 in severance costs associated with our exit of certain operations in Morocco. Restructuring costs during Q1 2006 related to cost of sales primarily included costs for our European wood business.
Operating expenses in the current quarter include higher sales and marketing expense and $1.6 related to our prior year acquisitions. These costs were partially offset by $2.1 favorable effect from currency translation adjustments.

Our Other category includes our PolyVision, IDEO, and Steelcase Financial Services subsidiaries, and unallocated corporate expenses.
Other revenue represented 9.5% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2007. The increase in revenue is due primarily to a 15% increase in PolyVision sales over the prior year. This increase was due in part to an aggressive pricing strategy used for traditional whiteboard products at the end of last year, which led to lower-than-expected gross margins. In addition, gross margins were adversely affected by operational issues related to the consolidation of production facilities into one plant in the second half of 2006 and higher freight costs. As a result, PolyVision had the effect of increasing the operating loss for our Other category by $2.1.

Cash used in investing activities during Q1 2007 was primarily for capital expenditures. We continue to closely scrutinize capital spending to ensure we are making the right investments to sustain the business and to preserve our ability to introduce innovative, new products. For Q1 2007 and 2006, capital expenditures were less than depreciation, which represented a source of cash.
We generated cash from investing activities for the three months ended May 27, 2005 primarily through the sale and conversion of all of our short-term investments in auction rate securities to cash.

The primary use of cash in financing activities during Q1 2007 and 2006 related to the payment of dividends and normal scheduled repayments of debt. We retired $51.6 in debt during Q1 2006 including the retirement of $47.1 for the debt related to our corporate aircraft.
We paid common stock dividends of $0.10 per share during Q1 2007 and $0.06 per share during Q1 2006.
The exercise of employee stock options generated $10.7 and $1.2 during Q1 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Q1 2007 cash proceeds from common stock issuances were offset by $1.2 in repurchases of common stock to enable participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan.

The Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases of up to 11 million shares. To date, we have repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares. Approximately 3.6 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Board’s authorization and we have no outstanding share repurchase commitments. We did not repurchase any shares under this program during Q1 2007.

Global committed bank facility | $ | 200.0 | |||
Various uncommitted lines | 85.7 | ||||
Total credit lines available | 285.7 | ||||
Less: borrowings outstanding | 2.8 | ||||
Available capacity (subject to covenant constraints) | $ | 282.9 | |||
We have the option of increasing the global committed bank facility from $200 to $300, subject to customary conditions. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and unsubordinated. There are currently no borrowings outstanding under this facility. This committed facility requires us to satisfy financial covenants including a maximum debt ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. We were in compliance with all covenants under our financing facilities as of the end of Q1 2007, and they are fully available for our use, although the various uncommitted lines are subject to change or cancellation by the banks at any time.
Total consolidated debt as of May 26, 2006 was $255.3 which represents a debt to capitalization ratio of 17.1% at the end of Q1 2007 compared to 18.6% at the end of Q1 2006. Our debt primarily consists of $249.9 in term notes due November 2006 with an effective interest rate of 6.50%. It is our intention to refinance these notes with other long term instruments prior to the maturity date. In the event we are not able to issue new debt with acceptable terms, we feel we have adequate liquidity to pay off the current notes with our cash and cash equivalents and committed credit facility.
In anticipation of refinancing our senior notes, we entered into derivative contracts with a notional amount of $250.0 to effectively lock in the five-year treasury note interest rate which is the base component of the coupon rate for the debt. The interest rate derivatives expire at the same time that the existing debt matures. We have designated these derivative contracts as hedges and have recorded a deferred gain of $2.0 after tax in other comprehensive income as of the end of Q1 2007.
The current cash and cash equivalents balance, cash generated from future operations and available credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity and capital needs.
Our long-term debt rating is BBB- with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor’s and Ba1 with a positive outlook from Moody’s Investor Services.
