Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

~~July 1, 2017~~June 30, 2018

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The December ~~31, 2016~~30, 2017 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the ~~six-month~~six-month period ended ~~July 1, 2017~~June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results ~~that may be~~ expected for the fiscal year ending December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in HNI Corporation's (the "Corporation") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~31, 2016~~30, 2017.

Note 2. ~~Stock-Based Compensation~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Corporation ~~measures stock-based compensation expense~~implemented ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), at ~~grant date, based~~the beginning of fiscal 2018 using the modified-retrospective method, which required the new guidance to be applied prospectively to revenue transactions completed on or after the effective date. Given the nature of the Corporation's revenue transactions, the new guidance did not have a material impact on the ~~fair value~~Corporation's results of operations or financial position. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those to the Corporation's accounting policies, controls, and disclosures, have been identified and implemented as of the ~~award,~~beginning of fiscal 2018.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by sales channel and ~~recognizes expense over the employees' requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expense~~by segment is the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the HNI Corporation 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan and shares issued under the HNI Corporation 2002 Members' Stock Purchase Plan and the HNI Corporation Members' Stock Purchase Plan adopted in 2017. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expenseas follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
July 1,
2017 July 2,
2016 July 1,
2017 July 2,
2016
Stock-based compensation expense $ 1,132
$ 1,101
$ 5,803
$ 6,441



		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	Segment	June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017		June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017
Supplies-driven channel	Office Furniture	$	223,457	$	203,096	$	414,685	$	382,060
Contract channel	Office Furniture	200,421		203,348		390,108		384,365
Hearth	Hearth Products	119,736		108,041		243,890		225,727
Net sales		$	543,614	$	514,485	$	1,048,683	$	992,152

The ~~options~~majority of revenue presented as "Net sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income is the result of contracts with customers. All other sources of revenue are not material to the Corporation's results of operations.

Sales by channel type are subject to similar economic factors and ~~units granted by~~market conditions regardless of the channel under which the product is sold. See “Note 17. Reportable Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about operating segments.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation ~~had fair values~~has contract assets consisting of funds paid to certain office furniture dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’s product. These dealer investments are amortized over the term of the ~~following~~contract. For contracts less than one year, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred. The Corporation has contract liabilities consisting of deferred revenue and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

Contract assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, no revenue was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to contract liabilities as of December 30, 2017, as the entire liability was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Corporation recognized revenue of $12.5 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to contract liabilities as of December 30, 2017.

Performance Obligations

The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of office furniture and hearth products at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product. In certain circumstances, transfer of control to the customer does not occur until the goods are received by the customer or upon installation and/or customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Contracts typically have a duration of less than one year and normally do not include a significant financing component. Generally, payment is due within 30 days of invoicing. See “Note 7. Product Warranties” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on warranty obligations.

Significant Judgments

The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by rebate and marketing programs. Judgments made include expected sales levels and utilization of funds. However, this judgment factor is significantly reduced at the end of each year when sales volumes and the impact to rebate and marketing programs are known and recorded.

Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected

The Corporation elected to use the modified-retrospective method of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition. It has been applied to all contracts not completed as of December 30, 2017, the end of the Corporation’s fiscal 2017. The impact of the Corporation's transition adjustment for the new revenue recognition guidance was not material to the Corporation's results of operations or financial position. The additional disclosures required as a result of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance were material to the Corporation's financial statements.

The Corporation elected the following accounting policies as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition:

Shipping and Handling Activities - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. The Corporation accrues for shipping and handling costs at the same time revenue is recognized, which is in accordance with the policy election. When shipping and handling activities occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the good(s), they are considered fulfillment activities rather than a performance obligation and the costs are accrued for as incurred.

Sales Taxes - The Corporation has elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority associated with the transaction, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows the Corporation to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes.

These policies have been applied consistently to all revenue transactions.

The Corporation has elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting the new standard on revenue recognition:

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 340-40-25-4, which permits an entity to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period will be less than one year. The Corporation will apply this practical expedient when the requirements to apply it are met.

Significant Financing Component - The Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if a contract has a duration of one year or less. As the Corporation's contracts are typically less than one year in length, consideration will not be adjusted.

These accounting policies and practical expedients have been applied consistently to all revenue transactions.

Note 3. Restructuring

Restructuring costs recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017		June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017

Restructuring and impairment charges	837		419		2,175		2,542
Total restructuring costs	$	837	$	3,379	$	2,175	$	9,700

Restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2018 were primarily incurred as part of the previously announced closure of the hearth manufacturing facility in Paris, Kentucky. These costs include an impairment charge due to an updated valuation of the closed manufacturing facility held for sale. Restructuring costs in the year-to-date period for 2018 also include costs incurred as part of the previously announced closure of the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana. Restructuring costs in both the quarter and year-to-date periods for 2017, which include accelerated depreciation recorded in "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, were primarily incurred as part of the previously announced closures of the hearth manufacturing facilities in Paris, Kentucky and Colville, Washington and the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana.

The accrued restructuring expenses are expected to be paid in the next twelve months and are included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during the six months ended (in thousands):



	Severance Costs			Facility Exit Costs & Other			Total

Real Estate Transaction

As part of the Corporation's continued efforts to drive efficiency and simplification, the Corporation entered into a sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2018, selling a manufacturing facility and subsequently leasing back a portion of the facility for a term of 10 years. The net proceeds from the sale of the facility of $16.9 million are reflected in "Proceeds from sale of property, plant, and equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with ASC 840, Leases, the $5.1 million gain on the sale of the facility was deferred and is being amortized as a reduction to rent expense evenly over the term of the lease. As of June 30, 2018, the current portion of the deferred gain is $0.5 million and included within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" and the long-term portion of the deferred gain is $4.5 million and included within "Other Long-Term Liabilities", both in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The transaction did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

As part of the Corporation's ongoing business strategy, it continues to acquire and divest small office furniture dealerships, for which the impact is not material to the Corporation's financial statements.

The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value with approximately 8586 percent valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") costing method.

In March 2016, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value expiring January 2021. As of July 1, 2017, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was an asset of $2.1 million, which is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $1.3 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

AsThe occurrence of events such as acquisitions, dispositions, or impairments ~~occur~~ in the future ~~these amounts~~ may ~~change.~~result in changes to amounts.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

The Corporation also owns certain intangible assets, which are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are reflected in ~~"Other~~"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

July 1,
2017 December 31,

Trademarks and trade names $ 37,511

	June 30, 2018		December 30, 2017
Trademarks and trade names	$	29,156	$	29,201

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever indicators of impairment exist. During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation determined a triggering event occurred for one of the Corporation's reporting units within the office furniture segment due to lower expectations of operating results for the year. Accordingly, interim quantitative impairment tests were performed for goodwill and an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The tests indicated no impairment. In conjunction with the interim impairment tests, the Corporation tested the recoverability of the long-lived assets for the reporting unit, other than goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset, and found no impairments.

The projections used in the impairment model reflected management's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, economic and market trends, cost structure, investments required for operational transformation, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results of the reporting unit. The Corporation ~~estimates~~assumed a discount rate of 13.0 percent, near term growth rates ranging from 7 percent to 9 percent, and a terminal growth rate of 3 percent. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a $4.2 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would result in a $2.0 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Neither of these scenarios individually would result in an impairment of the reporting unit's goodwill. There is $19.6 million of goodwill associated with this reporting unit as of June 30, 2018.

Note 7. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its ~~reporting units using various valuation techniques,~~office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design, materials, or workmanship. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the ~~primary technique being a discounted cash flow method. This method employs market participant based assumptions.~~Corporation's warranty programs.

A warranty allowance is determined by recording a specific allowance for known warranty issues and an additional allowance for unknown claims expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended

The current and long-term portions of the allowance for estimated settlements are included within "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" and "Other Long-Term Liabilities", respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes when these estimated settlements are expected to be paid (in thousands):

Less: Current maturities of long-term debt	434			36,648
Long-term debt	$	296,397		$	240,000

As of June 30, 2018, the Corporation’s revolving credit facility borrowings were under the credit agreement entered into April 20, 2018 with a scheduled maturity of April 20, 2023. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion of $0.4 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current credit agreement and is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of $1.7 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2018, there was $197 million outstanding under the $450 million revolving credit facility. The entire amount drawn under the revolving credit facility is considered long-term as the Corporation assumes no obligation to repay any of the amounts borrowed in the next twelve months.

In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements. On May 31, 2018, the Corporation entered into a $100 million note purchase agreement. Under the agreement, the Corporation issued $50 million of seven-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22%, due May 31, 2025, and $50 million of ten-year fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40%, due May 31, 2028. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the private placement note agreements, which are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, and is amortizing them over the terms of the private placement note agreements. The deferred debt issuance costs do not reduce the amount owed by the Corporation under the terms of the private placement note agreements. The current portion of $0.1 million is the amount to be amortized over the next twelve months based on the current private placement note agreements and is reflected in "Current maturities of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of $0.6 million is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition to cash flows from operations, the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of daily operating capital for the Corporation and provides additional financial capacity for capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions and repurchases of common stock.

The credit agreement and private placement notes both contain financial and non-financial covenants. The covenants under both are substantially the same. Non-compliance with covenants under the agreements could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding, and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

Certain covenants require maintenance of financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter, including:

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0. Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash items that increase or decrease net income. As of June 30, 2018, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement. The Corporation expects to remain in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement over the next twelve months.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Corporation's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The following table summarizes the Corporation's income tax provision (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018			July 1, 2017			June 30, 2018			July 1, 2017
Income before income taxes	$	24,431		$	20,627		$	25,893		$	27,586
Income taxes	$	5,835		$	6,771		$	4,836		$	8,949
Effective tax rate	23.9		%	32.8		%	18.6		%	32.4		%

The Corporation's effective tax rate was lower in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same periods last year primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 (the "Act"). An additional driver of the change in the effective tax rate for the first six months was the release of a valuation allowance for certain foreign jurisdictions.

On December 22, 2017, the Act was signed into law, making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax relating to the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions of the Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Corporation elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost, as no material impact is projected from GILTI inclusions and any deferred taxes related to any inclusion are not material. Also under the Act, a corporation's foreign earnings accumulated under legacy tax laws are deemed repatriated. The Corporation will continue to evaluate its ability to assert indefinite reinvestment to determine recognition of a deferred tax liability for other items such as Section 986(c) currency gain/loss, foreign withholding, and state taxes. Additionally, under the Act and for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) Excessive Executive Compensation Limit, the Corporation elected to allocate deductible compensation to cash compensation first, then to share-based compensation.

Note ~~8. Product Warranties~~10. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, variable-rate and fixed-rate debt obligations, and deferred stock-based compensation. The marketable securities are comprised of money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. When available, the Corporation ~~issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture~~uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and ~~hearth products that provide for repair~~classifies such measurements within Level 1. Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or ~~replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect~~quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in ~~design or workmanship. Reserves have been established for~~which case the ~~various costs associated with the Corporation's warranty programs.~~measurements are classified within Level 2.

A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims that are expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Activity associated with warranty obligations was

In March 2016, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of the ~~reserve for estimated settlements are included under "Accounts payable~~interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.29 percent and ~~accrued expenses" and~~receives one month LIBOR on a $150 million notional value expiring January 2021. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap was an asset of $5.1 million, which is reflected in "Other ~~Long-Term Liabilities", respectively,~~Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrecognized change in value of the interest rate swap is reported net of tax as $3.5 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The ~~Corporation's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate~~weighted-average common stock equivalents presented above do not include the effect of ~~its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The Corporation's income tax provision for~~ the three months ended July 1, 2017 was $6.8 million on pre-tax income of $20.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 32.8 percent. For the three months ended July 2, 2016, the Corporation's income tax provision was $15.9 million on pre-tax income of $45.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 35.4 percent. The effective tax rate was lowercommon stock equivalents in the three months ended July 1, 2017 principally due to the enactment of ASU No. 2016-09 related to stock compensation in the first quarter of 2017. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies totable below because their inclusion would be recorded in the income statement when awards vest or are settled. See "Note 13. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation's tax provision for the six months ended July 1, 2017 includes a tax benefit of $1.0 million related to the adoption of this standard. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended July 1, 2017 reflects an effective tax rate of 32.4 percent compared to 34.8 percent for the same period last year. The drivers of the change in the effective tax rate for the first six months were the same as those for the quarter.anti-dilutive.

Note ~~11. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments~~

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis, the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its marketable securities and derivative instruments. The marketable securities are comprised of government securities, corporate bonds, and money market funds. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1. Where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs (prices or quotes from published exchanges and indexes) to calculate fair value using the market approach, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.13. Stock-Based Compensation

~~Assets measured~~The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value as of the award, and recognizes expense over the employees' requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expense is the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the approved stock-based compensation plans and shares issued under the approved member stock purchase plans. The following table summarizes~~July 1, 2017~~ ~~were as follows~~expense associated with these plans (in thousands):

The ~~Corporation’s revolving credit facility under~~following table summarizes unrecognized compensation expense and the ~~current credit agreement was entered into January 6, 2016~~weighted-average remaining service period for non-vested stock options and matures January 6, 2021. The Corporation deferred the debt issuance costs related to the credit agreement, which are classified as assets, and is amortizing them over the term of the credit agreement. The current portion, which is to be amortized over the next twelve months, is reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of July 1, 2017, there was $332 million outstanding under the $400 million revolving credit facility of which $240 million was classified as long-term as the Corporation does not expect to repay the borrowings within a year. Because the Corporation expects, but is not required, to repay the remaining $92 million in the next twelve months, it was classified as current.

The revolving credit facility under the credit agreement is the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions, repurchases of commonrestricted stock ~~and certain working capital needs.~~

The credit agreement contains a number of covenants. Non-compliance with covenants in the credit agreement could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

~~Certain covenants require maintenance of financial ratios~~units as of ~~the end of any fiscal quarter, including:~~June 30, 2018:

a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.5 to 1.0. Under the credit agreement, consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges, and all non-cash items increasing net income. As of July 1, 2017, the Corporation was below the maximum allowable ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreement. The Corporation expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

Note ~~13.~~15. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~March 2016,~~May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2016-09,~~2014-09, ~~Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires companies to reevaluate when revenue is ~~intended to simplify accounting for share~~recorded on a transaction based ~~employment awards to employees. Changes include: all excess tax benefits/deficiencies should be recognized~~upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as ~~income tax expense/benefit; entities can make elections on how to account for forfeitures;~~goods or services are delivered. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash ~~paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the cash flow statement.~~flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates. The FASB has issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients to provide further clarification and guidance. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal ~~2017. The primary impact~~2018 using the modified-retrospective method, which required the new guidance to be applied prospectively to revenue transactions completed on or after the effective date. Given the nature of ~~implementation was the recognition of excess tax benefits in~~ the Corporation's ~~provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital beginning with~~revenue transactions, the ~~first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excess tax benefits will be recorded in the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows~~new guidance did not have a material impact on a prospective basis. Prior to fiscal 2017, the tax benefits or shortfalls were recorded in financing cash flows. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares in the financing section had no impact to any of the periods presented in the Corporation's ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~results of ~~Cash Flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Implementation of~~operations or financial position. All necessary changes required by the new standard, ~~resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in~~including those to the Corporation's ~~provision for income taxes of $0.4 million~~accounting policies, controls, and ~~$1.0 million as a net tax benefit for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively. Prior to the adoption of this standard, those amounts would~~disclosures, have been ~~recognized~~identified and implemented as ~~an adjustment to "Additional paid-in capital" in~~of the ~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~beginning of fiscal 2018. See "Note ~~10. Income Taxes"~~2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In ~~July 2015,~~August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2015-11,~~2016-15, ~~Simplifying the Measurement~~Statement of ~~Inventory~~Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.. The new standard ~~is intended to simplify~~provides classification guidance on eight cash flow issues including debt prepayment, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the ~~subsequent measurement~~settlements of ~~inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at~~insurance claims, proceeds from the ~~lower~~settlement of ~~cost or net realizable value rather than the previous guidance of measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market.~~corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees.

As the Corporation previously calculated net realizable value when measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market, this~~2018. This standard ~~had an immaterial~~did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements ~~and~~or related disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The new standard requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This standard did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In ~~January~~March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2017-04,~~2017-07, ~~Intangibles-Goodwill~~Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and ~~Other (Topic 350)~~Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost. The new standard ~~is to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the step 2 requirement. Instead,~~requires an entity with defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plans to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. All other components of net periodic benefit cost will ~~perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing~~be presented outside of operating income, if a subtotal is presented. The Corporation implemented the ~~fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard is effective for fiscal 2020, but the Corporation has early adopted the~~new standard in ~~2017. The Corporation has not been required to test for goodwill impairment through~~ the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2017.~~fiscal 2018 and it was applied retrospectively to each period presented. This standard did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note ~~14. Reportable Segment Information~~16. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies

~~Management views~~The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the ~~Corporation as being in~~amount of approximately ~~two~~$20 million ~~reportable segments based on industries: office furniture~~to back certain insurance policies and ~~hearth products, with~~payment obligations. The Corporation utilizes trade letters of credit and banker's acceptances in the ~~former being the principal business segment.~~amount of approximately $5 million to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker's acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The ~~aggregated office furniture segment manufactures~~Corporation initiated litigation in Iowa on August 15, 2017 against the purchasers of Artcobell for amounts owed in connection with the sale of Artcobell. Artcobell initiated litigation against the Corporation in Texas on June 14, 2017 regarding a dispute arising after the sale of Artcobell, for which the Corporation believes it has strong legal and ~~markets a broad line~~factual defenses. The Corporation intends to vigorously prosecute the Iowa action and defend the Texas action.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of ~~metal and wood commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems,~~its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other ~~related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets~~claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a ~~broad line of gas, electric, wood and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories, principally for~~material adverse effect on the ~~home.~~Corporation's financial condition, cash flows, or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income, and interest expense. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost. In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, and corporate office real estate and related equipment.

The Corporation finalized the allocation of the purchase price during fourth quarter 2016. There were $15 million of intangible assets other than goodwill associated with this acquisition with estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years with amortization recorded on a straight-line basis based on the projected cash flow associatedand hearth products, with the ~~respective intangible assets. There was $14 million of goodwill associated with this acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.~~former being the principal segment.

~~As part~~The aggregated office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems, and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of gas, electric, wood, and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories, principally for the home.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales between segments are not material, and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated general corporate expenses. These unallocated general corporate expenses include the net costs of the Corporation's ~~ongoing business strategy, it continues~~corporate operations. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs and not as a reportable segment cost. In addition, management applies an effective income tax rate to ~~acquire~~its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets applicable to the respective industry segments. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and ~~divest small~~cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, IT infrastructure, and corporate office ~~furniture dealerships. There was no change to Goodwill~~real estate and related equipment.

No geographic information for revenues from external customers or for long-lived assets is disclosed since the Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the ~~first six months of 2017 as a result of this activity.

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

The following discussion of the Corporation's historical results of operations and of its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation and related notes. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties. See "Forward-Looking Statements" at the end of this ~~section.~~section for further information.

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation is a leading global office furniture manufacturer and the leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a split and ~~focused,~~focus with leverage, decentralized business model to deliver value to customers via various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2017 decreased 4.1~~2018 were $543.6 million, an increase of 5.7 percent, compared to net sales of $514.5 million ~~when~~in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The change was driven by an increase in both the office furniture and hearth products segments. The closure and divestitures of small office furniture companies resulted in a net decrease in sales of $13.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal ~~2016. The change was driven by a decrease in the office furniture segment, while sales were flat in the hearth products segment. Office furniture segment sales decreased $22.5 million compared~~2017.

Net income attributable to the prior year quarter due to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of small office furniture companies. The hearth products segment saw an increase in the new construction business due to growth in single family housing. The retail wood/gas business declined due to the impacts of dealer distributors moving to the Corporation's more efficient just-in-time delivery model.

~~Gross profit percentage for the quarter decreased from prior year levels driven by input cost inflation, deeper discounting, product mix, and higher restructuring and transition costs.~~

Total selling and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales due to strategic growth investments and prior year non-repeating adjustments, partially offset by the impact of divestitures, lower incentive based compensation, and the impact of stock price change on deferred compensation.

~~The~~ Corporation ~~recorded $3.4 million of restructuring costs and $4.3 million of transition costs~~ in the second quarter of ~~2017~~fiscal 2018 was $18.6 million compared to net income of $13.8 million in ~~connection with~~ the ~~previously announced closures~~second quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volume, lower restructuring and transition costs, and a lower tax rate. These factors were partially offset by input cost inflation, unfavorable product mix, amortization from the ~~hearth manufacturing facilities in Paris, Kentucky~~Corporation's Business Systems Transformation initiative, and Colville, Washington and the office furniture manufacturing facility in Orleans, Indiana and structural realignments in China and between office furniture facilities in Muscatine, Iowa. Specific items incurred include accelerated depreciation and production move costs. Of these charges, $7.3 million was included in cost of sales.strategic investments.

Recent Developments

On June 28, 2018, Stan Askren announced his retirement as Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, following his previously announced retirement as President of the Corporation in April 2018. Consistent with a well-established and long-term succession plan, the Board promoted Jeffrey Lorenger as the Corporation's new Chief Executive Officer, who will also continue as President of the Corporation. The Corporation expects Mr. Askren will remain employed in a senior advisor role to assist with the transition and will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors until his retirement, which is anticipated no later than December 31, 2018.

For the full year ~~2017,~~2018, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately ~~$100~~$70 to ~~$110~~$80 million.

~~Cash Flow – Financing Activities~~

~~Long-Term Debt~~

~~The Corporation’s revolving credit facility under~~Real Estate Transaction - In the ~~current credit agreement was~~first quarter of 2018, the Corporation entered into ~~January 6, 2016~~a sale-leaseback transaction, selling a manufacturing facility and ~~matures January 6, 2021.

See "Note ~~11. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments"~~3. Restructuring" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

~~Interest Rate Swap~~Cash Flow – Financing Activities

~~In March 2016,~~Long-Term Debt - The Corporation maintains a revolving credit facility as the primary source of committed funding from which the Corporation ~~entered into an interest rate swap transaction to hedge $150~~finances its planned capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, and seasonal working capital needs.

Long-Term Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated ~~Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap is reported net of tax in the amount of $1.3 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~Financial Statements for further information.

Dividend - The Corporation is committed to maintaining and/or modestly growing the quarterly dividend. Cash dividends declared and paid per share were as follows (in dollars):

~~On May 9, 2017,~~



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017		June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017
Common shares	$	0.295	$	0.285	$	0.580	$	0.560

During the quarter, the Board approved ~~a 3.6 percent~~an increase in the ~~common stock~~regular quarterly cash dividend ~~from $0.275 per share to $0.285 per share.~~on May 8, 2018. The dividend was paid on June 1, ~~2017~~2018 to shareholders of record on May ~~19,~~18, 2018. This was a 3.5 percent increase over the comparable prior year quarterly dividend paid on June 1, 2017.

Stock Repurchase

- The Corporation’s capital strategy related to stock repurchase is focused on offsetting the dilutive impact of issuances for various compensation related matters. The Corporation may elect to opportunistically purchase additional shares based on excess cash generation and/or share price considerations. During the six months ended ~~July 1, 2017,~~June 30, 2018, the Corporation repurchased ~~521,562~~205,822 shares of its common stock at a cost of ~~$23.8~~approximately $8.0 million, or an average price of ~~$45.68~~$38.69 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Corporation also paid approximately $1.4 million relating to shares repurchased but not yet settled as of December 30, 2017. As of ~~July 1, 2017, $113.1~~June 30, 2018, there was a payable of $0.2 million reflected in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relating to shares repurchased but not yet settled. As of June 30, 2018, $70.0 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, coupled with cash flow from future operations, borrowing capacity under the existing credit agreement, and the ability to access capital markets, are expected to be adequate to fund operations and satisfy cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods. A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~31, 2016.~~30, 2017. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments for the first six months of fiscal ~~2017.~~2018.

Commitments and Contingencies

See "Note ~~12.~~16. Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments ~~that affect~~affecting the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies ~~that require~~requiring the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~31, 2016~~30, 2017.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation determined a triggering event occurred for one of the Corporation's reporting units within the office furniture segment due to lower expectations of operating results for the year. The Corporation makes every effort to estimate future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is developed. However, changes in estimates may affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, and could result in an impairment charge in future periods. Refer to "Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for further information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~. The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires companies to reevaluate when revenue is recorded on a transaction based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as goods or services are delivered. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates. The FASB has recently issued ASU No. 2016-08, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU No. 2016-10,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients~~ to provide further clarification and guidance. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2018, and allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Corporation has completed a preliminary review of the impact of the new standard and expects changes in the way the Corporation recognizes certain marketing programs and pricing incentives, which are anticipated to not be material to the results of operations. The Corporation is also reviewing accounting policies and disclosures to determine changes needed to comply with this new standard, as well as identifying changes to the Corporation's business processes, systems, and controls needed to support adoption of this ASU. The Corporation expects to adopt the standard in fiscal 2018 using the modified-retrospective approach.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Changes to the lessee accounting model may change key balance sheet measures and ratios, potentially affecting analyst expectations and compliance with financial covenants. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2019, but may be adopted at any time, and requires a ~~modified retrospective transition.~~modified-retrospective transition approach. The Corporation has completed a preliminary review of the impact of the new standard and expects right of use assets and lease liabilities to increase the assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation is also reviewing accounting policies and disclosures to determine changes needed to comply with this new standard, as well as identifying changes to the Corporation's business processes, systems, and controls needed to support adoption of this ASU. The Corporation has selected a technology tool to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. The Corporation expects to adopt the standard in fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses by requiring consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information and is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal 2020 and requires a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August ~~2016,~~2017, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2016-15,~~2017-12, ~~Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.~~Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard ~~provides classification~~improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance ~~on eight cash flow issues including debt prepayment, settlement~~through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlements of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees.hedge results. The new standard becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal ~~2018.~~2019, with early adoption permitted. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, entities will apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Presentation and disclosure requirements are applied prospectively. The Corporation ~~anticipates~~is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have ~~an immaterial effect~~ on consolidated financial statements ~~of cash flows.~~and related disclosures.

In ~~March 2017,~~February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2017-07,~~2018-02, ~~Improving the Presentation~~Reclassification of ~~Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost~~Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new standard allows entities to reclassify certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The standard also requires an entity with defined benefit and postretirement benefit plans to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. All other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented outside of operating income, if a subtotal is presented.certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The new standard ~~is to be applied retrospectively to each period presented and~~ becomes effective for the Corporation in fiscal ~~2018.~~2019, with early adoption permitted. The standard should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. The Corporation ~~anticipates~~is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have ~~an immaterial effect~~ on consolidated financial statements ~~of comprehensive income.~~and related disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls

~~There~~The Corporation has been engaged in a multi-year, broad-based program, which is referred to as business systems transformation ("BST"). The BST initiative includes the introduction of a new software system along with related process changes intended to simplify and streamline the Corporation's business processes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Corporation implemented BST in the majority of the domestic office furniture operations. The implementation resulted in business and operational changes in areas including order management, production scheduling, pricing, shipping, purchasing, and general accounting. These changes required some modifications to the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the first and second quarter of fiscal 2018. Except for the BST implementation, there have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
