NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, as filed with the Commission.
The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.States (“GAAP”).
The six monthsix-month period ended July 4, 2021 includes 26 weeks, and the six-month period ended July 5, 2020 includes 27 weeks, and the six month period ended June 30, 2019 includes 26 weeks. The three monththree-month periods ended July 4, 2021 and July 5, 2020 and June 30, 2019 both include 13 weeks.
Risks and Uncertainties
The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020, and many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that, except for the goodwill and intangible asset impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2020 and discussed in Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” the decline in 2020 revenue for the first six months of 2021 when excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, and its consequent impacts on production volume, operating income, net income, cash flows, and order rates, there were no other material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at July 5, 2020.4, 2021. The Company’s primary credit facility has various financial and other covenants including, but not limited to, a covenant to not exceed a maximum secured net debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit facility agreement. On July 15, 2020,The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the Company amended its Syndicated Credit Facility. See Note 16 entitled “Subsequent Events”credit facility agreement and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for additional information.the foreseeable future. The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial condition, and supply chains. It may negatively impact our ability to collect outstanding receivables, manage inventory, produce our products and service customers. The impact of COVID-19 could result in additional impairment losses related to goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment.
As the virus spreads through communities, it could impact the physical health, mental health, and productivity of our workforce as many of them are required to shelter in place and work from home for prolonged periods of time, and it could also impact our ability to reach our customers and collaborate with them as they are required to shelter in place and work from home for prolonged periods of time. The COVID-19 pandemic is having broad and negative implications on the global economy, which affects the size and timing of our customers’ capital budgets, and could result in delays or terminations of new and existing renovation projects, remodeling projects, new construction projects, and other projects where our products are used.
COVID-19 Impact
We continue to monitor our operations and have implemented various programs to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on our business including reductions in employee headcount, labor costs, marketing expenses, consulting spend, travel costs, various other costs, and capital expenditures, as well as suspending and reducing shifts in our production facilities, temporarily furloughing employees, and implementing other cost reduction or avoidance initiatives. Government grants
Reclassifications
In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company determined that it has two operating and payroll protection programs are available globallyreportable segments – namely Americas (“AMS”) and Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment is unchanged from prior year and continues to provide assistance to companies impacted by the pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted ininclude the United States, (see Note 13 entitled “Income Taxes”Canada and Latin America geographic areas. Segment disclosures for additional information) and a payroll protection program enacted in the Netherlands (the “NOW Program”), provide benefits related to payroll costs either as reimbursements, lower payroll tax rates or deferral of payroll tax payments. The NOW Program provides eligible companies with reimbursement of labor costs as an incentive to retain employees on the payroll. During the second quarter the Company recognized benefits under several payroll protection programs as reductions to payroll costs.

Reclassifications
In fiscal year 2020 the Company made certain classification and presentation changes related to customer service and other costs. Previously, these costs were presented as a component of cost of sales. Beginning in fiscal year 2020, these costs are presented as a component of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. The Company determined that this change better reflects how management views and operates the business. Reclassifications of the comparative prior year 2019 amounts have been maderestated to conform to the current presentation as follows:reportable segment structure.See Note 11 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Credit Losses. This standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through the use of valuation allowances for credit losses. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The Company adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach with no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to recognize expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 30, 2019,January 4, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” that provides for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, impairment charges are recognized to the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value with certain limitations. See Note 10 entitled “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.
On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This standard eliminates the current requirement to disclose the amount or reason for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the requirement to disclose the valuation methodology for level 3 fair value measurements. The standard includes additional disclosure requirements for level 3 fair value measurements, including the requirement to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income during the period and permits the disclosure of other relevant quantitative information for certain unobservable inputs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On2019-12, “ December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, “Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement service contract with the guidance to capitalize implementation costs of internal use software. The ASU also requires that the costs for implementation activities during the application development phase be capitalized in a hosting arrangement service contract, and costs during the preliminary and post implementation phase are expensed. The Company adopted this standard, which will be applied on a prospective basis, with no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “SimplifyingSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.Taxes.” The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740 related to intraperiod tax allocation, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the accounting for outside basis differences of foreign subsidiaries and equity method investments. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740, including franchise or similar taxes partially based on income, the accounting for a step-up in tax basis goodwill, and interim recognition of an enacted change in tax laws or rates, by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard but doesdid not anticipate that the adoption will have a material effect on itsimpact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.
The Company includes all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in the basic and diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following tables show distributed and undistributed earnings:

Syndicated Credit Facility
At July 5, 2020, the Company maintained an amended and restatedThe Syndicated Credit Facility (the “Facility”) which provided toprovides the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving loan and U.S. denominated and multicurrency term loans. Interest on base rate loans wasis charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on LIBOR-basedEurocurrency-based loans and fees for letters of credit wereare charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable LIBOREurocurrency rate, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company paidpays a commitment fee per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.
Debt issuance costs associated with term loans are reflected as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As these fees are expensed over the life of the outstanding borrowing, the debt balance will increase by the same amount as the fees that are expensed. As of both July 5, 20204, 2021 and December 29, 2019, the unamortized debt costs recorded as a reduction of long-term debt were $5.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Other deferred borrowing costs, which include underwriting, legal and other direct costs related to the issuance of revolving debt, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.1 million and $1.3 million as of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. These amounts are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt.
As of July 5, 2020,January 3, 2021, the Company had outstanding $566.8 million of term loan borrowing and $58.8 million of revolving loan borrowings under the Facility, and had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
As of December 29, 2019, the Company had outstanding $581.6 million of term loan borrowingboth July 4, 2021 and $20.9 million of revolving loan borrowings under the Facility, and had $2.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. As of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Facility was 2.75% and 3.27%, respectively. As of July 5, 2020 and December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under the Facility approximatesapproximated its fair value as the Facility bears interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.
Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of the term loan borrowings, which are due on the last day of the calendar quarter.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the Facility. On July 15, 2020,Facility and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.
5.50% Senior Notes due 2028
The 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) bear an interest rate at 5.50% per annum and mature on December 1, 2028. Interest is paid semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2021. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company amendedunder its Syndicated Creditexisting Facility. See Note 16 entitled “Subsequent Events”

As of July 4, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $315.1 million, compared with a carrying value recorded in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet of $300.0 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The fair value of the Senior Notes is derived using quoted prices for additional information.similar instruments and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Other Lines of Credit
Subsidiaries of the Company havehad an aggregate of the equivalent of $9.5$6.0 million of other lines of credit available at interest rates ranging from 2.0%3.5% to 6.0% as of both July 5, 20204, 2021 and December 29, 2019.January 3, 2021. As of July 5, 20204, 2021 and December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, there were 0 borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit.

Borrowing Costs
Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s Senior Notes and term loans under the Facility are reflected as a reduction of long-term debt in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As these fees are expensed over the life of the outstanding borrowing, the debt balance will increase by the same amount as the fees that are expensed. As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the unamortized debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of long-term debt were $8.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest Rate Risk Management
In the third quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2019,From time to time, the Company enteredenters into interest rate swap transactions in notional amounts of $100 million and $150 million, respectively, to fix the variable interest rate on a portion of its term loan borrowing in order to manage a portion of its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s objective and strategy with respect to these interest rate swaps is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability to cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of its outstanding debt. The Company is meeting its objective by hedging the risk of changes in its cash flows (interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged (the “hedged risk”), on an amount of the Company’s debt principal equal to the outstanding swap notional amounts.
Cash Flow Interest Rate Swaps
BothIn the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company terminated its designated interest rate swap transactions with a total notional value of $250 million. Hedge accounting was also discontinued at that time. Losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for these terminated interest rate swaps are reclassified and recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of operations to the extent it is probable that a portion of the original forecasted transactions related to the portion of the hedged debt repaid will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. See Note 14 entitled “Items Reclassified From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for additional information.
As of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the remaining accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the terminated interest rate swaps was $6.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, and will be amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the interest rate swaps described above areprior to termination. We expect that approximately $4.0 million related to the terminated interest rate swaps will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense in the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the impact that changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments. The Company reports the changes in fair value of the swaps as a component ofhad on accumulated other comprehensive income (or other comprehensive loss). The aggregate notional amountloss, net of tax, during the interest rate swaps as ofthree and six months ended July 5, 2020 was $250 million.2020:
Forward Contracts
Our European operations, from time to time, are party to currency forward contracts designed to hedge the cash flow risk of intercompany sales from the manufacturing facility in Europe to the Americas. The Company’s objective and strategy with respect to these currency forward contracts is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in currency rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows related to receipt of payment on intercompany sales. As of July 5, 2020, there were no active forward currency contracts.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Our Asia-Pacific operations, from time to time, purchase foreign currency options to economically hedge inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies other than their functional currency. The Company’s objective with respect to these foreign currency options is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in currency rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows related to payment on inventory purchases. These options are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on the changes in fair value of these foreign currency options are recognized in earnings each period. As of July 5, 2020,4, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign currency options with an aggregate notional amount of $17.0$4.4 million.

NOTE 8 – LEASES
General
We haveThe Company has operating and finance leases for manufacturing equipment, corporate offices, showrooms, distribution facilities, design centers, as well as computer and office equipment. OurThe Company’s leases have terms ranging from 1 to 20 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease term for up to 5 years, and certain leases may include an option to terminate the lease. Our lease accounting may include these options to extend or terminate a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
We recordThe Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases extending beyond one year for operating and finance leases once a contract that contains a lease is executed and we have the right to control the use of the leased asset. The right-of-use asset is measured as the present value of the lease obligation. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liability was the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the applicable geographical region.
As of July 5, 2020,4, 2021, there were no significant right-of-use assets and lease obligations from leases that had not commenced as of the end of the second quarter.
The table below represents a summary of the balances recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets related to ourthe Company’s leases as of July 5, 20204, 2021 and December 29, 2019:January 3, 2021:

Policy Elections
WeThe Company made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, except for data center assets, and will accountaccounts for the lease payments as a single component. WeThe Company also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These leases primarily represent month-to-month operating leases for vehicles and office equipment where we were reasonably certain that we would not elect an option to extend the lease.

NOTE 10 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined that it has two operating and reportable segments – namely AMS and EAAA. See Note 11 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units remain unchanged following the realignment of its segments and consist of Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The Americas reporting unit is the same as the AMS reportable segment, and the Europe and Asia-Pacific reporting units are one level below the EAAA reportable segment.
During the first quarter of 2020, we performedas a qualitative assessmentresult of goodwill impairment indicators, consideringchanges in macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its potential impact to sales and operating income. We expect that the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse impacts on the global economy, global travel restrictions, COVID-19 related government shutdowns, disruptions to our supply chain, distribution disruption, and disruption to our customers’ plans to spend capital on projects that use our products and services will result in lower revenue and operating income. As a result, we determined that there were indicators of impairment, and the Company proceeded withrecognized a quantitative assessmentcharge of $121.3 million for the impairment of goodwill for all reporting units at the end of the first quarter.
In performing the first quarter quantitative goodwill impairment testing, the Company prepared valuations of reporting units on both a market comparable methodology and an income methodology, and those valuations were compared with the respective carrying values of the reporting units to determine whether any goodwill impairment existed. Our reporting units are one level below our reporting segment level. In preparing the valuations, past, present and future expectations of performance were considered, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This methodology was consistent with the approach used to perform the annual quantitative goodwill assessment in prior years. The weighted average cost of capital used in the goodwill impairment testing ranged between 10.0% and 10.5%, which primarily fluctuated based on a country risk premium assigned to the geographical region of the reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty associated with key assumptions used in our impairment testing including the duration of the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the recovery period.certain intangible assets. As a result of the first quarter 2020 assessment, we determined that the fair value for two reporting units was less than the carrying value and recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $116.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The expected decline in revenue due to the impact of COVID-19 contributed to the lower fair value of our Europe and Asia-Pacific reporting units. As such, the goodwill impairment loss was allocated to our Europe and Asia-Pacific reporting units in the amounts of $99.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively. We determined that the goodwill in our Americas reporting unit was not impaired as the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 90% at April 5, 2020. There were no indicators of additional goodwill impairment as of July 5, 2020.4, 2021.
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill attributable to each reportable segment for the six months ended July 5, 20204, 2021 are as follows:

Additionally, in fiscal year 2020, we determined that the trademarks and trade names intangible assets related to the acquired nora business were also impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The carrying value of intangible assets after the impairment was $82.7$82.4 million at July 5, 2020.4, 2021. There were no indicators of additional intangible asset impairment as of the end of the second quarter of 2020.2021.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
Based on applicableThe Company determines that an operating segment exists if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and (iii) has discrete financial information. Additionally, accounting standards require the utilization of a “management approach” to report the financial results of operating segments, which is based on information used by the CODM to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company largely completed its integration of the nora acquisition, and integration of its European and Asia-Pacific commercial areas and determined that it has 2 operating segments organized by geographical area – namely (a) Americas (“AMS”) and (b) Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment is unchanged from prior year and continues to include the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas.
Pursuant to the management approach discussed above, the Company’s CODM, our chief executive officer, evaluates performance at the AMS and EAAA operating segment levels and makes operating and resource allocation decisions based on segment adjusted operating income or loss (“AOI”), which includes allocations of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses. AOI excludes nora purchase accounting amortization, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, changes in equity award forfeiture accounting, restructuring charges, asset impairment, severance and other charges.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate and records any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.
During the six months ended July 5, 2020,4, 2021, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of $7.8 million on pre-tax income of $30.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.7%, as compared to a total income tax provision of $4.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $93.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (4.4)%. during the six months ended July 5, 2020. The effective tax rate for thisthe period ended July 5, 2020 was primarily impacted by a non-deductible goodwill impairment. Excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment, the effective tax rate was 17.8% for the period compared to 17.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2019.July 5, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate as compared to the period ended July 5, 2020, excluding the non-deductible goodwill impairment, was due to unfavorable changes related to company-owned life insurance and unrecognized tax benefits, which were offset by the one-time favorable impacts of amending prior year tax returns.returns during the six months ended July 5, 2020 which was offset by favorable changes related to company-owned life insurance in the current period.
In the first six months of 2020,2021, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.4$0.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to settlements with taxing authorities and a lapse of applicable statute of limitations. As of July 5, 2020,4, 2021, the Company had accrued approximately $25.1$10.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of July 5, 20204, 2021 reflects a reduction for $2.8$3.0 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.
Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including the progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitations. Based on information currently available, it is reasonably possible that approximately $14.7$1.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within the next 12 months due to a lapse of statute of limitations.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provides certain tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions

Table of the CARES Act include, among other things, the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and certain income tax provisions for corporations. During the six months ended July 5, 2020, the Company deferred approximately $1.4 million in payroll taxes under the CARES Act. Other than the deferral of payroll taxes, the CARES Act did not have an impact on the Company’s tax accounts, including its effective tax rate, during the six months ended July 5, 2020. The Company expects it will defer approximately $4.0 million in payroll taxes under the CARES Act during fiscal year 2020 which will result in a corresponding increase in its payroll tax accrual. The CARES Act and other similar foreign government support programs are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s tax accounts during the year.Contents

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Cost Reducing Initiatives and Related Charges
As we continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and mitigate its effects to our operations, the Company expects to continue to pursue a variety of cost reducing initiatives including but not limited to voluntary incentive separation programs, temporary employee furloughs and other time-and-pay reduction programs, applications to participate in various government sponsored “wage support” programs, involuntary separations where necessary to streamline roles and responsibilities, potential facility closures to streamline operations, and various other cost reducing and cost avoidance activities.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
TheIn March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the virus continues to spread inimpact areas where we operate and sell our products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic has had material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and it is anticipated that this will continue for an indefinite period of time.condition. The duration of the pandemic will ultimately determine the extent to which our operations are impacted. We continue to monitor our operations and have implemented various programs to mitigate the effects on our business including reductions in employees, labor costs, marketing expenses, consulting expenses, travel costs, various other costs, and capital expenditures, as well as suspending and reducing shifts in our production facilities, temporarily furloughing employees, and implementing other cost reduction or avoidance initiatives.
During the second quarter of 2020,2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had less of an impact on our overall global operations and financial results as COVID-19 vaccination rates increased, COVID-19 related restrictions loosened, and certain countries began to experience a rebound in economic activity. Our global supply chain and manufacturing experienced increased impacts of COVID-19 in the quarter. These impacts included raw material shortages, raw material cost increases, higher freight costs, shipping delays, and labor shortages - particularly in the United States. These impacts to our supply chain and manufacturing increased our costs and adversely affected our gross margins.
During the second quarter of 2021, consolidated net sales increased 13.6% compared to the same period last year. Higher sales are primarily in the corporate office and retail market segments. During the second quarter of 2021, we began a phased re-opening of our corporate headquarters and global administrative offices and our salesforce and administrative staff are actively working in these locations in accordance with the Company’s ongoing safety measures, as well as any local government orders and directives which remain very fluid.
During the first six months of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our global operations, resulting in lower revenue across all geographic regions. For the three months ended July 5, 2020,as consolidated net sales declined 27.4%increased 0.1% compared to the same period last year. As discussed above,Net sales for the first six months of 2021 were impacted by lower sales in the corporate office market segment during the first quarter of 2021. During the six months ended July 4, 2021, the Company implemented, and continues to implement, various cost cutting initiativesrecorded $0.9 million of net severance costs in connection with its programs to mitigate the effectsimpact of the COVID-19 on our operations. During the three months ended July 5, 2020, the Company recorded $2.9 million of voluntary and involuntary severance costs,pandemic as discussed above, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. We anticipate future annualized savings
General
In the first quarter of approximately $7 million as a result of these separation initiatives.
As a result2021, the Company largely completed its integration of the COVID-19 pandemic, government grantsnora acquisition, and payroll protection programs are available globallyintegration of its European and Asia-Pacific commercial areas and determined that it has two operating and reportable segments - namely Americas (“AMS”) and Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment is unchanged from prior year and continues to provide assistance to companies impacted by the pandemic. The CARES Act enacted ininclude the United States, (see Note 13 entitled “Income Taxes” ofCanada and Latin America geographic areas. See Part I, Item 1, Note 11 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Segment Information” for additional information) and a payroll protection program enacted in the Netherlands (the “NOW Program”), provide benefits related to payroll costs either as reimbursements, lower payroll tax rates or deferralinformation. The results of payroll tax payments. The NOW Program provides eligible companies with reimbursement of labor costs as an incentive to retain employees on the payroll. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company qualified for benefits under several payroll protection programs and recognized a reduction in payroll costs of approximately $3.8 million during the quarter, which are recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, as the Company believes it is likely that the benefits received will not be repaid.
The COVID-19 pandemic had less of an impact on our global operations for the first six months of 2020 (as compared with the impact on the second quarter of 2020), as the effects of the pandemic did not begin to impact our business substantially until the end of the first quarter. For the first six months of 2020, consolidated net sales declined 16.4% compared to the same period last year primarily due to COVID-19. Due to reduced demand and to enhance employee safety measures, we temporarily suspended production in our U.S. manufacturing facilities from March 18, 2020 to March 23, 2020, and then again from April 6, 2020 to April 13, 2020. Wediscussion below also substantially reduced production in our Craigavon, UK facility beginning on April 20, 2020 through the end of the second quarter, and our Thailand, China, and Australia plants are operating in reduced shifts in light of reduced demand. During the first quarter of 2020, our Asia-Pacific region was primarily impacted by COVID-19 due to government shutdowns in China and the temporary closure of our China plant in late January 2020 to February 9, 2020. In addition, almost all of our salesforce and administrative employees globally continue to work remotely in accordance with local government orders and “shelter in place” directives.
Generalincludes segment information.
During the quarter ended July 5, 2020,4, 2021, consolidated net sales were $259.5$294.8 million compared with net sales of $357.5$259.5 million in the second quarter last year. During the first six months ended July 5, 2020,of 2021, consolidated net sales were $547.7$548.0 million compared with net sales of $655.2to $547.7 million in the first six months of last year. TheHigher net sales during the second quarter of 2021, primarily in the corporate office market segment was due to higher corporate spending and first half of 2020 were negatively impacted by the effects ofreinvestment. As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above.continued to impact the first six months of 2021. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates had a negativepositive impact on net sales of approximately $2.8$13.1 million for the second quarter of 20202021 and a negativepositive impact of approximately $7.5$25.0 million for the first six month periodmonths of 20202021 compared to the threesecond quarter and first six month periodsmonths of 2019,last year, respectively, mostly driven by the weakeningstrengthening of the Euro, British Pound sterling, and the Australian dollar and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

The increase was primarily due to working capital changes, specifically an increasevariable compensation payouts in account receivable collections2021 related to 2020 performance that were greatly reduced versus the payouts that occurred in 2020 related to 2019 performance. The lower variable compensation payouts in 2021 were offset by the change toa greater use of cash from working capital. Specifically, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.expenses that contributed positively to the change in working capital were offset by higher inventories and higher prepaid expenses attributable primarily to a build-up of inventory due to increased customer demand. Increases in accounts receivable as a result of higher net sales also contributed to the change in working capital during the year.
Cash used in investing activities was $35.7$12.1 million for the six months ended July 5, 2020 which represents an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures from the prior year comparable period.

Forward-Looking Statement on Impact of COVID-19
While we are aggressively managing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on our full year fiscal 20202021 results and beyond are uncertain. We believe the most significant elements of uncertainty are (1) the intensity and duration of the impact on construction, renovation, and remodeling; (2) corporate, government, and consumer spending levels and sentiment;sentiment including but not limited to when and how employees will be required to work from their office versus working from home; (3) new and renewed government mandated lockdowns, quarantine and other procedures in response to resurgences of COVID-19 cases and variants of the virus; and (4) the ability of our sales channels, supply chain, manufacturing, suppliers, freight providers and distribution partners to continue operating through disruptions. Any or all of these factors could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and outlook. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect companies with global operations, we

We anticipate that our business and resultsrevenue growth in the third quarter of 2020 will continuefiscal year 2021 compared with the third quarter of 2020. We are also anticipating continued impacts to be adversely affected,our global supply chain and the timelinemanufacturing operations. These impacts are anticipated to include significant cost increases in our raw materials globally and pace of recovery is uncertain. While we are unable to predict with certainty, we anticipate continued year-over-year declines in revenue and operating incomelabor shortages – particularly in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2020, and perhaps during quarterly periods thereafter.

The Company has implemented several cost reduction and avoidance initiatives to align with anticipated customer demand, including a voluntary employee separation program, temporary employee furloughsimpacts may also potentially include raw material shortages, higher freight costs, shipping delays, and other time-and-pay reduction programs, involuntary employee separations where necessarydisruption. These impacts to streamline rolesour supply chain and responsibilities,manufacturing will increase our costs and various otheradversely affect our gross margins, they may inhibit our ability to manufacture and ship product timely, and at times they may inhibit our ability to meet customer demands and expectations.

In addition, the Company has reduced its capital spending plans.optimize our global cost structure.
Cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and other sources of liquidity are expected to be available and sufficient to meet foreseeable cash requirements. However, the Company’s cash flows from operations can be affected by numerous factors including the uncertainty of COVID-19 and its impact on global operations, raw material availability and cost, and demand for our products, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.products.
Backlog
As of July 26, 2020,25, 2021, the consolidated backlog of orders was approximately $193.1$231.8 million. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, backlog was approximately $177.8$177.7 million as of February 9, 2020.7, 2021. Disruptions in supply and distribution chains, global travel restrictions and government shelter in place orders due to the impact of COVID-19 have resulted in delays of construction projects and flooring installations in many regions worldwide.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The discussion below in this Item 3 is based upon the more detailed discussions of our market risk and related matters included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019,January 3, 2021, under Part II, Item 7A of that Form 10-K. The discussion here focuses on the six months ended July 5, 2020,4, 2021, and any material changes from (or other important intervening developments since the time of) the information discussed in that Form 10-K. This discussion should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background information.
Sensitivity Analysis
For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to measure the impact that market risk may have on the fair values of our market sensitive instruments. To perform sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of loss in fair values associated with the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments.
Because the debt outstanding under our Syndicated Credit Facility has variable interest rates based on an underlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate, we do not believe changes in interest rates would have any significant impact on the fair value of that debt instrument. Changes in the underlying prime lending rate or LIBOR rate would, however, impact the amount of our interest expense. For a discussion of these hypothetical impacts on our interest expense, please see the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019.January 3, 2021.
As of July 5, 2020,4, 2021, based on a hypothetical immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt would be impacted by a net decrease of $12.0 million. Conversely, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a net increase in the fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt of $8.1 million.
As of July 4, 2021, a 10% decrease or increase in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value of our financial instruments of $11.8$11.1 million or an increase in the fair value of our financial instruments of $14.4$13.6 million, respectively. As the impact of offsetting changes in the fair market value of our net foreign investments is not included in the sensitivity model, these results are not indicative of our actual exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

Table of July 5, 2020, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in the recorded liability of our interest rate swaps of approximately $5.2 million while a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the recorded liability of our interest rate swaps of approximately $6.3 million.Contents

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) under the Act.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures however are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Based on the evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
