Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 1, 2024, Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its financial results for the third quarter of 2024 (the “Earnings Release”). A copy of the Earnings Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference. The information set forth in this Item 2.02, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Earnings Release
The Earnings Release includes, as additional information for investors, the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income ("AOI"), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, currency neutral sales and currency neutral sales growth, net debt, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). These measures are not in accordance with financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EPS, adjusted net income, and AOI exclude nora purchase accounting amortization, the cyber event impact, and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net. Adjusted EPS and adjusted net income also exclude the property casualty loss impact, the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation, and the loss on the discontinuance of interest rate swaps. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin exclude nora purchase accounting amortization. Adjusted SG&A expenses exclude the cyber event impact and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net.
Currency neutral sales and currency neutral sales growth exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Net debt is total debt less cash on hand. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, cyber event impact, property casualty loss impact, restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, nora purchase accounting amortization, and the loss on foreign subsidiary liquidation.
Because the Company engages in acquisitions only episodically, and not as an everyday matter, the Company believes presenting certain measures excluding the effects of acquisitions facilitates focus on normal ongoing operations. The Company also believes presenting sales information absent the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations facilitates comparison of the Company’s operational performance between periods.
The Company generally believes reporting its adjusted results helps investors’ understanding of historical operating trends, because it facilitates comparison of current and prior periods during which one or more unique events may have occurred. The Company also believes that adjusted results provide supplemental information for comparisons to other companies which may not have experienced the same events underlying the adjustments. Furthermore, the Company uses adjusted results internally as supplemental information to evaluate its own performance, for planning purposes and in connection with its compensation programs.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Management of Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) has updated the slide presentation which may be used in whole or in part in meetings with and presentations to investors and potential investors. A copy of the slide presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
