	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 22, 2013 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 22, 2013 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.
	As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance requires an entity to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount is reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. This presentation may be either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. For other significant amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about the reclassification amounts is required. The Company adopted these provisions in Q1 2014, applied prospectively. This update impacts disclosures only, and therefore adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The disclosures required by this update are included in Note 4.
	In July 2012, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The Company adopted the amended provisions in Q1 2014. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share	'
	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities include performance units and restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

	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.
	Our total debt is carried at cost and was $287.1 and $289.0 as of November 22, 2013 and February 22, 2013, 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 $319 and $321 as of November 22, 2013 and February 22, 2013, respectively.
	We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 22, 2013 and February 22, 2013 are summarized below:

	COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
	Our investments in company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies are recorded at their net cash surrender value.
	Prior to Q3 2014, our investments in whole life COLI policies were intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for post-retirement medical benefits, deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan obligations, and our investments in variable life COLI policies were primarily considered a source of corporate liquidity.
	During Q3 2014, we reduced the variable life COLI balances by withdrawing basis of $74.5 (tax-free) and invested the cash proceeds in short-term investments. The remaining investments in whole life and variable life COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for post-retirement medical benefits, deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan obligations, which as of November 22, 2013 aggregated approximately $147, with a related deferred tax asset of approximately $56. The designations of our COLI investments as funding sources for our benefit obligations does not result in these investments representing a committed funding source for these obligations. They are subject to claims from creditors, and we can designate them to another purpose at any time.
	The costs associated with the long-term benefit obligations that the investments are intended to fund are recorded in Operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As these costs exceed the net returns in cash surrender value, normal insurance expenses and any death benefit gains (“COLI income”) related to our investments in COLI policies, we began recording all COLI income in Operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during Q3 2014.
	The balances of our COLI investments as of November 22, 2013 and February 22, 2013 were as follows:
	Type	Ability to Choose	Net Return	Target Asset Allocation as of November 22, 2013	Net Cash Surrender Value

	________________________
	-1	In Q3 2014, we recorded goodwill impairment charges in our Asia Pacific reporting unit. See further details below.
	In Q3 2014, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our Asia Pacific reporting unit (in the Other category) had fallen below its carrying value. The decline in the estimated fair value of the Asia Pacific reporting unit was driven in part by continued quarterly operating losses during 2014, which were substantially below previous expectations. These losses were primarily the result of lower than expected revenue in most markets, especially China, Australia and Japan. The sales shortfalls are partially due to the impact of weaker than expected economic conditions in the region. During Q3 2014, senior management completed a comprehensive review of the Asia Pacific business unit during a visit to the region, including an update of our near-term financial projections, taking into consideration current industry and market conditions and business model challenges facing our Asia Pacific business unit. As a result, we determined that lower levels of near-term revenue growth and profitability were more likely than not and thus, we completed an interim goodwill impairment evaluation for the Asia Pacific reporting unit.
	Our goodwill impairment evaluation is a two step process. In step one, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, we perform step two to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In step two, the reporting unit's fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
	We estimated the fair value of the Asia Pacific reporting unit using the income approach, which calculates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of economic and market trends, revenue growth rates, cost structure and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit represents a Level 3 measurement.
	Based on the step one and step two analyses, we recorded a $12.3 goodwill impairment charge in Q3 2014, and there is no remaining net goodwill in the Asia Pacific reporting unit as of November 22, 2013. Additionally, a charge of $0.6 was recorded in Asia Pacific for impairment of other intangible assets. We tested the recoverability of the Asia Pacific long-lived assets (other than goodwill and intangible assets) and concluded that these assets were not impaired.
	For all other reporting units, we determined that there were no events requiring an interim goodwill impairment evaluation in Q3 2014. We will continue to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis in Q4 and whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as significant adverse changes in business climate or operating results, changes in management's business strategy or significant declines in our stock price, indicate that there may be a potential indicator of impairment

	Performance Units
	In Q1 2014, we awarded 419,724 performance units ("PSUs") to our executive officers. Of the PSUs awarded, 209,862 units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2014 through 2016, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition, and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount; therefore, the maximum number of shares that can be issued under this award is 419,724. These PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance periods. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of these PSUs on the date of grant. The model resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.51 per unit for these PSUs, compared to $11.92 and $16.56 per unit for PSUs granted in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The weighted average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:
		2014 Awards		2013 Awards		2012 Awards
	Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)	0.3	%	0.5	%	1.4	%
	Expected term	3 years		3 years		3 years
	Estimated volatility (2)	44.7	%	49.8	%	50.9	%
	_______________________________________
	-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 remaining 209,862 PSUs awarded during Q1 2014 are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2014 through 2016, based on our three-year average return on invested capital, which is a performance condition, and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, therefore the maximum number of shares that can be issued under this award is 419,724. These units are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance periods based on the probability that the performance condition will be met. The expense recorded will be adjusted as the estimate of the total number of PSUs that will ultimately be earned changes. The weighted average grant date fair value of these PSUs was $12.66. The fair value is equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant.
	For all PSUs awarded in Q1 2014, dividend equivalents are calculated based on the actual number of shares earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares 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. In addition, these awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves the 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 awards 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 total PSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended November 22, 2013 and November 23, 2012 are as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

	As of November 22, 2013, there was $3.2 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
	Restricted Stock Units
	During the nine months ended November 22, 2013, we awarded 1,092,941 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), of which 321,775 were awarded to our executive officers. These RSUs have restrictions on transfer, the majority of which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the units will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. Holders of RSUs receive cash dividends equal to the dividends we declare and pay on our Class A Common Stock, which are included in Dividends paid on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.
	The RSU expense and associated tax benefit (expense) for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended November 22, 2013 and November 23, 2012 are as follows:

	RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
	In Q3 2014, we announced restructuring actions in EMEA to safeguard our global competitiveness through changes in our EMEA manufacturing footprint. We have initiated procedures with the applicable works councils regarding the closure of a manufacturing facility in Germany. In connection with this project, we expect to incur approximately $20 to $25 of cash restructuring costs, with approximately $15 to $20 related to employee termination costs and approximately $5 related to business exit and other related costs. We incurred $0.6 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the three months ended November 22, 2013.
	In Q1 2014, we announced restructuring actions in EMEA to reorganize the sales, marketing and support functions in France. In Q2 2014, we completed negotiations with the works councils related to these actions. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $7, with approximately $6 related to employee termination costs and approximately $1 of business exit and other related costs. We incurred $0.9 and $5.6 of employee termination costs in the EMEA segment during the three and nine months ended November 22, 2013, respectively. We incurred $0.9 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the nine months ended November 22, 2013.
	In Q2 2013, we announced plans to integrate PolyVision's global technology business into the Steelcase Education Solutions group. We incurred $0.1 and $1.1 of business exit and other related costs in the Americas segment during the three and nine months ended November 22, 2013. These restructuring actions are substantially complete.
