Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
In addition to trade receivables, the Corporation has contract assets consisting of funds paid or payable to certain workplace furnishings dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell the Corporation’sCorporation's products. These contract assets are amortized over the term of the contracts and recognized as a reduction of revenue. For contracts with a duration of 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 customer deposits and rebate and marketing program liabilities.

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

The index below indicates the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where contract assets and contract liabilities are reported:

(1)     "Receivables"
(2)     "Prepaid expenses and other current assets"
(3)     "Other Assets"
(4)     "Accounts payable and accrued expenses"

The increase in long-term contract assets is related to multi-year distribution agreements in the workplace furnishings segment. Contract liabilities for customer deposits paid to the Corporation prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations are recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligations. The contract liability balance related to customer deposits was $21.1$27.2 million as of January 2, 2021, all1, 2022, of which, $23.7 million was recognized as revenue in the first quartersix months of 2021.2022.

Performance Obligations
The Corporation recognizes revenue for sales of workplace furnishings and residential building 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.

The Corporation's backlog orders are typically cancellable for a period of time and almost all contracts have an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the Corporation has elected the practical expedient permitted in the revenue accounting standard not to disclose the unsatisfied performance obligation as of period end. The backlog is typically fulfilled within a few months.

Significant Judgments
The amount of consideration the Corporation receives and revenue recognized varies with changes in rebate and marketing program incentives, as well as early pay discounts, offered to customers. The Corporation uses significant judgment throughout the year in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by variable consideration for 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 as the programs typically end near the Corporation's fiscal year end.

Note 6.  Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its workplace furnishings and residential building 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. The duration of warranty policies on the Corporation's products varies based on the type of product. Allowances have been established for the anticipated future costs associated with the 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 costs incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the allowance. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows (in thousands):follows:

The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate, long-term debt obligations at OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, was $75$209 million, which approximated fair value. The fair value of the fixed rate notes was estimated based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 2) to be $116$103 million at OctoberJuly 2, 2021.2022.

As of OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, the Corporation’sCorporation's revolving credit facility borrowings were under the amended and restated credit agreement entered into on April 20, 2018,June 14, 2022, with a scheduled maturity of April 20, 2023.June 2027. The Corporation deferred the related 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 debt issuance costs of $0.4$0.3 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 debt issuance costs of $0.2$1.3 million is reflected in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, there was $75$209 million outstanding under the $450$400 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. Based on current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the Corporation can access the full remaining $375$191 million of borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility and maintain compliance with applicable covenants.

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, repurchases of common stock, and strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Corporation also has $100 million of borrowings outstanding under private placement note agreements entered into on May 31, 2018. Under the agreements, the Corporation issued $50 million of seven-year fixed ratefixed-rate notes with an interest rate of 4.22 percent, due May 31, 2025, and $50 million of ten-year fixed ratefixed-rate notes with an interest rate of 4.40 percent, 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, and is amortizing them over the terms of the

14


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. As of OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, the deferred debt issuance costs balance of $0.4$0.3 million related to the private placement note agreements is reflected in "Long-Term Debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.

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

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

14


a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

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 OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, 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.

The Corporation's effective tax rate was higherlower in the three and ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, compared to the same periods last year. The variance was driven by an improved full year, 2021 income outlook, relativeprimarily due to the prior-year full year outlook which was adversely impacted by the onsetsale of the COVID-19 pandemic, resultingCorporation's China- and Hong Kong-based Lamex office furniture business ("Lamex") in asset impairment charges and other one-time costs recordedJuly 2022.

These factors drove a greater rate benefit fromsecond quarter for valuation adjustments related to existing deferred tax creditsassets, as well as basis differences. See "Note 15.

Additionally,Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the increased rate was impacted by higher equity-based compensation and the timingsale of tax reserves released year-over-year.Lamex.

Note 9.  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, put option liabilities, and deferred stock-based compensation. The marketable securities compriseare comprised of money market funds, government securities, and corporate bonds. 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. Significant unobservable inputs, which are classified within Level 3, are used in the estimation of the fair value of put option liabilities,options related to private entities, determined using a simulation model based on assumptions including future cash flows, discount rates, and volatility.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Forms of awards issued under shareholder approved plans include stock options, restricted stock units based on a service condition ("restricted stock units"), restricted stock units based on both performance and service conditions ("performance stock units"), and shares issued under member stock purchase plans. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units is recognized over the employees' requisite service periods, adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares not expected to vest. Additionally, expense related to performance stock units is adjusted for the probability that the Corporation will perform within an established target range of cumulative profitability over a multi-year period.

Note 13.  Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Corporation adopted ASC 740 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with no material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures.

Note 14.13.  Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of approximately $31$26 million to back certain insurance policies and payment obligations. Additionally, the Corporation periodically utilizes trade letters of credit and banker'sbankers' acceptances to guarantee certain payments to overseas suppliers; as of OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, there were no outstanding amounts related to these types of guarantees. The letters of credit, bonds, and banker'sbankers' acceptances reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation periodically guarantees borrowing arrangements involving certain workplace furnishings dealers and third-party financial institutions. The terms of these guarantees, which range from less than one year to five years, generally require the Corporation to make payments directly to the financial institution in the event that the dealer is unable to repay its borrowings in accordance with the stated terms. The aggregate amount guaranteed by the Corporation in connection with these agreements is approximately $12 million as of July 2, 2022. The Corporation has determined the likelihood of making future payments under these guarantees is not probable and therefore no liability has been accrued.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation entered into an agreement to lease a new facility. The lease requires approximately $61 million of legally binding minimum payments over the approximate 15-year term of the agreement. The contractual payments and lease accounting are expected to commence in 2023 when construction of the facility is complete.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including liabilities relating to pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other 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 material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, cash flows, or on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results when resolved in a future period.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

In October 2021, the Corporation acquired a residential building products installing distributor at a purchase price of approximately $30 million. The acquired company builds on the Corporation's strategy to expand the Fireside Hearth & Home owned-distribution component of the residential building products segment.

Due to the recent timing of the close of the acquisition, the Corporation has not yet allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Note 16.14.  Reportable Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as having 2 reportable segments based on industries: workplace furnishings and residential building products.

The aggregated workplace furnishings segment manufactures and markets a broad line of commercial and home office furniture, which includes panel-based and freestanding furniture systems, seating, storage, tables, and architectural products. The

19


residential building products segment manufactures and markets a full array of gas, wood, electric, and pellet fueled fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings, and accessories.

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 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 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, IT infrastructure, and corporate office 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 United States.

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: workplace furnishings and residential building products. The Corporation is a leading global designer and provider of commercial furnishings, and a leading manufacturer and marketer of hearth products. The Corporation utilizes a 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.

Consolidated net sales for the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 were $586.7$621.7 million, an increase of 15.721.8 percent compared to net sales of $507.1$510.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The change was due to a 26.029.3 percent increase in the residential building products segment and an 11.318.2 percent increase in the workplace furnishings segment. The acquisition of DPG increased current-year quarter sales by $8.9 million, and the acquisition of residential building products distributors increased current-year quartercompanies, as discussed in "Note 3. Acquisitions," contributed incremental year-over-year sales by $0.9of $14.6 million.

Net income attributable to the Corporation in the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 was $19.2$30.3 million compared to $30.7$17.4 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.2021. The majority of the decreaseincrease was driven by unfavorablehigher volume, favorable price-cost, alongand tax benefits recorded in connection with the returnsale of costs related to temporary actions taken in the prior-year quarter and increased investment spend, which wasLamex, partially offset by increased volume.

Overall, the Corporation has experienced strong order trends in both of its segments in the third quarter of 2021. However, ongoing pandemic-induced difficulties tied to labor availability, supply chain issues,lower operational productivity, higher investment spend, and input cost inflation have persisted. These constraints, when combined with continued staffing shortages both internallyhigher core selling and at the Corporation's suppliers, are limiting production capacity growth, and have negatively impacted revenue and profit levels in the quarter. The Corporation expects these constraints to continue through the remainder of 2021 and is taking action to mitigate them, including the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Mexico, increased insourcing and strengthened resourcing of critical parts, and accelerated efforts to drive productivity through process changes and automation to reduce labor requirements.administrative expenses ("SG&A").

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies requiring the use of estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.
