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 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 28, 2014 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28, 2014 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.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize 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. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

3. 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 represent 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.

5. 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 $285.8 and $287.0 as of August 29, 2014 and February 28, 2014, 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 $329 and $327 as of August 29, 2014 and February 28, 2014, 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.

7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance Units

In Q1 2015, we awarded 305,512 performance units ("PSUs") to our executive officers. Of the PSUs awarded, 152,756 units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2015 through 2017, 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 305,512. These PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance period. 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 $23.25 per unit for these PSUs, compared to $15.50 and $11.92 per unit for PSUs granted in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:

	2015 Awards		2014 Awards		2013 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)	0.7	%	0.3	%	0.5	%
Expected term	3 years		3 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	42.2	%	44.7	%	49.8	%

_______________________________________

(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 152,756 PSUs awarded during Q1 2015 are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2015 through 2017, 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

9

STEELCASE INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 305,512. 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 $16.69. The fair value is equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant.

For all PSUs awarded in Q1 2015, 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 six months endedAugust 29, 2014 and August 23, 2013 are as follows:

9. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q2 2015, we announced additional restructuring actions in EMEA intended to safeguard our global competitiveness through changes in our EMEA manufacturing footprint. These actions relate to the exit of a manufacturing facility in Wisches, France and the transfer of its activities to other existing facilities in the EMEA region. On August 18, 2014, the Company accepted an offer from a third party for a unilateral put option for the transfer of the assets and activities relating to the Wisches facility. The Company has agreed to negotiate exclusively with the offeror through November 30, 2014. If the transfer is completed as contemplated by the offer, we expect to incur approximately $40 to $45 of net cash restructuring costs in connection with this project, with approximately $35 of costs to facilitate the transfer of the facility, workforce, inventory and certain equipment (including a facilitation fee to be paid to the transferee), and approximately $5 to $10 relating to business exit and other costs. We incurred $1.4 of business exit and other costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the three months ended August 29, 2014.

In Q1 2015, we announced restructuring actions to close a manufacturing facility in High Point, North Carolina. In connection with this project, we expect to incur approximately $8 of cash restructuring costs, with approximately $4 relating to workforce reductions and approximately $4 relating to manufacturing consolidation and production moves. We incurred $0.7 of employee termination costs and $0.1 of business exit and other costs in the Americas segment in connection with these actions during the three and six months ended August 29, 2014.

In Q1 2015, we recognized a $12.0 gain related to the sale of an idle manufacturing facility in the Americas segment that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions.

In Q3 2014, we announced restructuring actions in EMEA to safeguard our global competitiveness through changes in our EMEA manufacturing footprint. These actions consist of the closure of a manufacturing facility in Durlangen, Germany and the establishment of a new manufacturing location in Stribro, Czech Republic. In Q1 2015, we completed negotiations with the works councils related to these actions. In connection with this

project, we expect to incur approximately $26 of cash restructuring costs, with approximately $19 related to employee termination costs and approximately $7 related to business exit and other related costs. We incurred $3.7 and $4.3 of employee termination costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the three and six months endedAugust 29, 2014, respectively. We incurred $0.1 and $0.6 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the three and six months endedAugust 29, 2014, respectively. During 2014, we incurred $0.7 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions.

In Q1 2014, we announced restructuring actions in EMEA to reorganize the sales, marketing and support functions in France. We currently estimate the cash restructuring costs associated with these actions will be approximately $9, with approximately $8 related to employee termination costs and approximately $1 of business exit and other related costs. We incurred $0.2 and $0.8 of employee termination costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions during the three and six months endedAugust 29, 2014, respectively. During 2014, we incurred $6.3 related to employee termination costs and $0.9 of business exit and other related costs in the EMEA segment in connection with these actions.

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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. 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 condensed consolidated statements of income, 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 (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs (benefits) and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. 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.

Overview

In Q2 2015, organic revenue growth was 3% compared to the prior year. The Americas posted organic revenue growth of 4% over the prior year, marking its eighteenth consecutive quarter of organic growth. In the Americas, Q2 2015 orders grew 2% compared to the prior year, but one region posted a significant decline due to a strong prior year comparison. Across all other regions in the Americas, Q2 2015 order growth averaged approximately 8% compared to the prior year. EMEA experienced an organic revenue decline of 4%; however, orders increased by approximately 10% (in constant currency) compared to the prior year. The Other category experienced organic revenue growth of 13%, with PolyVision, Designtex and Asia Pacific all contributing to the growth.

Our adjusted operating income margin for Q2 2015 was 7.5%, which represents the highest level of quarterly performance achieved in more than ten years.

Q2 2015 Compared to Q2 2014

We recorded net income of $30.5 in Q2 2015 and $27.6 in Q2 2014. A modest increase in adjusted operating income, investment income in Q2 2015 compared to investment losses in Q2 2014, and higher other income, net were partially offset by higher restructuring costs and higher income tax expense.

Revenue was $786.7 in Q2 2015 compared to $757.6 in Q2 2014. Organic revenue growth was 3% after adjusting for currency translation effects.

Operating income was $52.8 in Q2 2015 compared to $52.0 in the prior year. Q2 2015 adjusted operating income increased by $3.9 to $59.2 compared to Q2 2014 adjusted operating income of $55.3. Operating leverage from the revenue growth and benefits of improved pricing in the Americas was largely offset by approximately $9 of disruption and inefficiencies associated with the manufacturing footprint changes in EMEA.

15

Cost of sales was 68.1% of revenue in Q2 2015, a 30 basis point increase compared to Q2 2014. Year-over-year cost of sales in the Americas was flat, while EMEA increased and the Other category decreased. The increase in EMEA was driven primarily by disruption and inefficiencies associated with the manufacturing footprint changes. These costs include labor premiums paid to employees during transition periods and labor inefficiencies caused by work stoppages or slowdowns resulting from restructuring activities. They also include incremental logistics costs caused by split shipments (linked to labor inefficiencies) and interim supply chains during production moves. Lastly, these costs include duplicate labor and overhead at the new Czech Republic facility and other plants impacted by production moves. We believe these costs are temporary and will be eliminated once the manufacturing changes in EMEA are complete and the industrial model returns to normal levels of operating efficiency.

Operating expenses in Q2 2015 of $191.4increased by $2.5 compared to Q2 2014 but decreased as a percentage of sales to 24.4% from 24.9%. The increase was largely due to higher variable compensation.

We recorded restructuring costs of $6.4 in Q2 2015 driven primarily by costs in EMEA related to the planned closure of a manufacturing facility in Germany. In Q2 2014, we recorded restructuring costs of $3.3 associated with actions in EMEA to reorganize the sales, marketing and support functions in France initiated in Q1 2014.

Our Q2 2015 effective tax rate was 41.5% compared to the Q2 2014 effective tax rate of 40.4%, both of which are above the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35%.  The differences from the U.S. federal statutory rate were primarily driven by losses in EMEA, which result in deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions for which full valuation allowances have been recorded.

Year-to-Date 2015 Compared to Year-to-Date 2014

We recorded year-to-date 2015 net income of $51.5 compared to year-to-date 2014 net income of $40.8. Increased operating income (which included net restructuring benefits in year-to-date 2015 compared to restructuring costs in year-to-date 2014), investment income compared to investment losses in the prior year and other income, net were partially offset by higher income tax expense.

Year-to-date 2015 revenue increased $85.1 or 6.0% compared to year-to-date 2014. After adjusting for currency translation effects, the organic revenue growth was $77.9 or 5%. We realized organic revenue growth of 5% in the Americas, 3% in EMEA and 13% in the Other category.

Year-to-date 2015 operating income of $89.2 compares to operating income of $72.4 in the prior year. Year-to-date 2015 adjusted operating income improved to $85.9 from $80.1 in the prior year. Operating leverage from the revenue growth in the Americas was largely offset by higher costs of sales associated with the manufacturing footprint changes in EMEA.

Year-to-date 2015 cost of sales was 68.9%, an 80 basis point increase compared to year-to-date 2014. All segments experienced increases compared to year-to-date 2014, driven primarily by disruption and inefficiencies in EMEA of approximately $12 and higher warranty, freight, distribution and overhead costs in the Americas.

Year-to-date 2015 operating expenses of $383.3increased $9.3 compared to the same period last year but decreased as a percentage of sales. The comparison included $7.9 of higher variable compensation and $3.6 of unfavorable currency translation effects.

We recorded year-to-date 2015 net restructuring benefits of $3.3 compared to restructuring costs of $7.7 in year-to-date 2014. The year-to-date 2015 amount included a gain related to the sale of an idle manufacturing facility in the Americas segment that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions, partially offset by costs in EMEA primarily related to the planned closure of a manufacturing facility in Germany. The year-to-date 2014 amount was primarily due to $6.5 associated with actions in EMEA to reorganize the sales, marketing and support functions in France initiated in Q1 2014.

Our year-to-date 2015 effective tax rate was approximately 41.5%, which is above the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35%. The higher rate is being driven by losses in EMEA, which result in deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions for which full valuation allowances have been recorded. The year-to-date 2014 effective tax rate was 36.4%, which was favorably impacted by net discrete tax benefits of $2.6.

Operating income in the Americas of $80.1 in Q2 2015increased by $1.8 compared to Q2 2014 operating income of $78.3. Adjusted operating income of $80.8 in Q2 2015 improved by $2.5 compared to Q2 2014. Benefits associated with the organic revenue growth and improved pricing were partially offset by increased operating expenses. The $4.2 improvement in year-to-date 2015 adjusted operating income was primarily due to benefits associated with the organic revenue growth and improved pricing, partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses.

The Americas revenue represented 73.7% of consolidated revenue in Q2 2015. Revenue for Q2 2015 was $580.3 compared to $558.7 in Q2 2014. After adjusting for $1.6 of unfavorable currency translation effects, organic revenue growth was $23.2 or 4% compared to the prior year. Revenue growth in Q2 2015 is categorized as follows:

• Product categories — Six out of nine categories grew in Q2 2015, led by Coalesse and Turnstone.

• Vertical markets — Technical and Professional, Federal Government and Information Technology experienced strong growth, while Healthcare, Education, State and Local Government and Financial Services declined year-over-year.

• Geographic regions — Strength in the West and East Business Groups was more than enough to offset a decline in the South Business Group.

• Contract type — Project business had strong growth, while continuing business grew modestly and marketing programs declined year-over-year.

Year-to-date 2015 organic revenue growth was $53.5 or 5% compared to the prior year.

Cost of sales of 65.6% of revenue in Q2 2015 was flat compared to Q2 2014. Year-over-year benefits of operating leverage from the revenue growth and improved pricing were offset by an unfavorable shift in business mix and higher freight and distribution costs. Year-to-date 2015 cost of sales was driven by the same factors in the quarter, but the increase of 40 basis points was also impacted by higher warranty expense and overhead costs.

Operating expenses increased by $5.0 in Q2 2015 compared to the same period last year primarily due to $2.1 of higher variable compensation and higher employee related costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales of 20.5% in Q2 2015 was flat compared to 20.4% in Q2 2014. Year-to-date 2015 operating expenses increased by $8.4 compared to year-to-date 2014. The increase was primarily driven by $4.4 of higher variable compensation and higher employee related costs.

Restructuring costs of $0.7 in Q2 2015 were associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in High Point, North Carolina. Year-to-date 2015 net restructuring benefits of $10.9 included a $12.0 gain related to the sale of an idle manufacturing facility that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions. Restructuring costs of $1.2 in year-to-date 2014 primarily related to costs associated with the integration of PolyVision's global technology business into Steelcase Education.

EMEA

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

EMEA reported an operating loss of $21.7 in Q2 2015 compared to an operating loss of $15.1 in Q2 2014. The adjusted operating loss of $16.0 in Q2 2015 compared to an adjusted operating loss of $11.8 in the same period of the prior year. The higher adjusted operating loss was primarily driven by the organic revenue decline and

18

higher cost of sales. The year-to-date 2015 adjusted operating loss of $21.8 compared to the year-to-date 2014 adjusted operating loss of $18.9. The decline was driven primarily by higher cost of sales, partially offset by organic revenue growth.

EMEA revenue represented 16.7% of consolidated revenue in Q2 2015. Revenue for Q2 2015 was $131.1 compared to $132.4 in Q2 2014. After adjusting for $4.8 of favorable currency translation effects, the organic revenue decline was $6.1 or 4%. Organic revenue growth in Benelux, Africa and Spain was more than offset by declines in the Middle East, the export markets of the central, eastern and southern parts of Europe (as a group), France and Germany. In year-to-date 2015, EMEA experienced organic revenue growth of $7.3 or 3%. Organic revenue growth in the UK, Spain, Benelux and France was partially offset by a decline in the Middle East and Germany.

Cost of sales climbed to 80.3% of revenue in Q2 2015 from 77.0% of revenue in Q2 2014, a 330 basis point erosion. Year-to-date 2015 cost of sales eroded 230 basis points. The erosions in both Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015 were primarily driven by disruption and inefficiencies associated with the manufacturing footprint changes. These costs totaled approximately $9 and $12 in Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015, respectively.

Operating expenses decreased by $0.5 in Q2 2015 compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were flat at 31.9% of sales. Year-to-date 2015 operating expenses increased by $1.4, driven by higher variable compensation.

Restructuring costs of $5.7 and $7.6 in Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015 were primarily associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in Durlangen, Germany. Restructuring costs of $3.3 and $6.5 in Q2 2014 and year-to-date 2014 were primarily associated with the reorganization of the sales, marketing and support functions in France.

Other

The Other category includes Asia Pacific, Designtex and PolyVision. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions. Designtex designs and sells surface materials including textiles and wall coverings which are specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers primarily in North America. PolyVision manufactures ceramic steel surfaces for use in multiple applications, but primarily for sale to third-party fabricators and distributors to create static whiteboards and chalkboards sold in the primary and secondary education markets globally.

The Other category reported operating income of $3.4 in Q2 2015 compared to operating income of $1.1 in Q2 2014. The increase was driven by higher operating income at PolyVision and Designtex and lower operating losses in Asia Pacific. Year-to-date 2015 adjusted operating income increased $0.4 compared to year-to-date 2014. Higher operating income at PolyVision was offset by higher operating losses in Asia Pacific.

19

Q2 2015 revenue increased by $8.8 or 13.2%. Excluding currency translation effects, the organic revenue growth was $8.7 or 13% for Q2 2015. Year-to-date 2015 revenue increased $16.4 or 12.8% compared to the prior year. Excluding currency translation effects, the organic revenue growth was $17.1 or 13%. PolyVision, Designtex and Asia Pacific all contributed to the growth in Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015.

Cost of sales as a percent of revenue was 66.5% in Q2 2015 compared to 67.5% in Q2 2014, a 100 basis point improvement. The improvement in Q2 2015 was largely driven by better absorption of fixed costs associated with the revenue growth. Year-to-date 2015 cost of sales eroded by 100 basis points. The erosion was primarily driven by higher cost of sales in Asia Pacific due to competitive pricing pressures and higher overhead costs, partially offset by better absorption of fixed costs associated with the revenue growth across the entire category.

Q2 2015 operating expenses increased by $1.3 compared to Q2 2014 and year-to-date 2015 operating expenses increased by $3.6. The increases were primarily driven by sales and marketing investments at Designtex. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in both Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015.

Corporate

Corporate expenses include unallocated portions of shared service functions such as information technology, human resources, finance, executive, corporate facilities, legal and research.

Operating expenses in Q2 2015 and year-to-date 2015 decreased by $3.3 and $4.1, respectively, driven by lower environmental remediation costs, higher earnings associated with company-owned life insurance and lower earnings associated with deferred compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $75 to $150 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility.

Liquidity Sources	August 29, 2014		February 28, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	155.7	$	201.8
Short-term investments	74.1		119.5
Company-owned life insurance	156.8		154.3
Availability under credit facilities	162.9		163.6
Total liquidity	$	549.5	$	639.2

As of August 29, 2014, we held a total of $229.8 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The majority of our short-term investments are located in the U.S. Of our total $155.7 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 62% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 38% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in Mexico, France, China, Hong Kong and Canada. The amounts located outside the U.S. would be taxable if repatriated to the U.S., but we do not anticipate repatriating such amounts or needing them for operations in the U.S. Such amounts are considered available to repay intercompany debt, available to meet local working capital requirements or permanently reinvested in foreign subsidiaries.

The majority of our short-term investments are maintained in a managed investment portfolio, which primarily consists of corporate debt securities and U.S. agency debt securities.

Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a long-term funding source for long-term benefit obligations. However, COLI can be used as a source of liquidity if needed. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations. COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value.

20

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 Q2 2015, we made common stock repurchases of 1,849,244 shares, all of which related to our Class A Common Stock. As of the end of Q2 2015, we had $61.6 of remaining availability under the $250 share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in Q4 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During Q2 2015, no material change in our off-balance sheet arrangements occurred.

Contractual Obligations

During Q2 2015, no material change in our contractual obligations occurred.

Liquidity Facilities

Our total liquidity facilities as of August 29, 2014 were:

Liquidity Facilities	August 29, 2014
Global committed bank facility	$	125.0
Various uncommitted lines	37.9
Total credit lines available	162.9
Less: Borrowings outstanding	—
Available capacity	$	162.9

We have a $125 global committed five-year unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility which was entered into in 2013. 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 dividends and/or other equity-related distributions or payments (such as share repurchases) we may make in any fiscal year. As of August 29, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

The various uncommitted lines may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted facilities as of August 29, 2014. In addition, we have a revolving letter of credit agreement for $13.5 of which $9.4 was utilized primarily related to our self-insured workers’ compensation programs as of August 29, 2014. There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q2 2015.

Total consolidated debt as of August 29, 2014 was $285.8. Our debt primarily consists of $249.9 in term notes due in 2021 with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. In addition, we have a term loan with a balance as of August 29, 2014 of $34.7. This term loan has a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 3.35% and is due in 2017. The term notes are unsecured, the term loan is secured by two corporate aircraft, and 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, funds available under our credit facilities, funds available from COLI and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs. We believe the timing, strength and continuity of the economic

22

recovery across certain geographies we serve remain uncertain which may continue to dampen 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.

Our 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 currently expect capital expenditures to approximate $90 to $100 in 2015 compared to $87 in 2014. This amount includes the establishment of a new manufacturing location in the Czech Republic, global upgrades to various manufacturing technologies, investments in e-business platforms and investments in product development and showrooms.

On September 25, 2014, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.105 per share, or $13.0, to be paid in Q3 2015. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors and compliance with the restricted payment covenant of our credit facilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates
