The Company’s acquisitions resulted in a goodwill allocation of $84,367. A portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

These benefits include opportunities to improve the Company's ceramic performance by leveraging best practices, operational expertise, product innovation and manufacturing assets across the segment. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price by major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The Company has identified Global Ceramic, $343,054 in Flooring NA and $452,441 in Flooring ROW as its reporting units for the purposes of allocating goodwill and intangibles as well as assessing impairments. The valuation approaches are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgements and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") and comparable company market multiples.

As a result of a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, comparable company market multiples, projected future cash flows and an increase in the WACC due to increases in the risk free rate and applicable risk premiums, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred requiring goodwill impairment testing for each of its reporting units as of October 1, 2022. The impairment test indicated a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Ceramic reporting unit of $688,514 ($679,664 net of tax) which the Company recorded during the three months ended October 1, 2022. The Company concluded goodwill of its other reporting units was not impaired at October 1, 2022.

The Company compared the estimated fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles to their carrying values and determined that there were impairments of $7,257 ($5,939 net of tax) in the Flooring ROW and Flooring NA reporting units during the three months ended October 1, 2022.

A significant or prolonged deterioration in economic conditions, continued increases in the costs of raw materials and energy combined with an inability to pass these costs on to customers, a further decline in the Company’s market capitalization or comparable company market multiples, projected future cash flows, or increases in the WACC, could impact the Company’s assumptions and require a reassessment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in future periods. The excess of fair value over carrying value for the Flooring ROW reporting unit was approximately 20% and the excess of fair value over carrying value for the Flooring NA reporting unit was less than 5% as of October 1, 2022. Future declines in estimated after tax cash flows, increases in the WACC or a decline in market capitalization could result in an additional indication of impairment in one or more of the Company’s reporting units.

The components of goodwill and other intangible assets are as follows:

15. (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net (loss) earnings attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc. and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share is as follows:

Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Perfluorinated Compounds (“PFCs”) Litigation

In September 2016, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden, Alabama (the “Gadsden Water Board”) filed an individual complaint in the Circuit Court of Etowah County, Alabama against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals containing specific PFCs, including the Company. In May 2017, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre, Alabama (the “Centre Water Board”) filed a similar complaint in the Circuit Court of Cherokee County, Alabama. The Gadsden Water Board and the Centre Water Board both seeksought monetary damages and injunctive relief claiming that their water supplies contain excessive amounts of PFCs. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed dispositive motions in each case arguing that the Alabama state courts lack personal jurisdiction over them. These motions were denied. In June and September 2018, certain defendants, including the Company, petitioned the Alabama Supreme Court for Writs of Mandamus directing each lower court to enter an order granting the defendants’ dispositive motions on personal jurisdiction grounds. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the petitions on December 20, 2019. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed an Application for Rehearing with the Alabama Supreme Court asking the court to reconsider its December 2019 decision. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the application for rehearing. On August 21, 2020, certain defendants, including the Company, petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for review of the matter. On January 19, 2021, the Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for review. On October 14, 2022, the Gadsden Water Board settled its claims against Mohawk Industries, Inc. and Mohawk Carpet, LLC. The case filed byOn March 21, 2023, the Centre Water Board settled its claims against Mohawk Industries, Inc., Mohawk Carpet, LLC, and Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation.

In April 2023, Shelby County, Alabama and Talladega County, Alabama filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama against Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation, Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation of Alabama, LLC, Mohawk Carpet, LLC, and Mohawk Industries, Inc., among other defendants, that contains allegations substantially similar to those that were made by the Gadsden Water Board and Centre Water Board. The defendants removed this case to federal court on May 12, 2023, and the case remains pending.

In December 2019, the City of Rome, Georgia (“Rome”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia that is similar to the Gadsden Water Board and Centre Water Board complaints, again seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief related to PFCs. On May 31, 2023, Rome settled its claims against Mohawk Industries, Inc., Mohawk Carpet, LLC, and Aladdin Manufacturing Corporation.

Also in December 2019, Jarrod Johnson filed a putative class action in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia purporting to represent all water subscribers with the Rome (Georgia) Water and Sewer Division and/or the Floyd County (Georgia) Water Department and seeking to recover, among other things, damages in the form of alleged increased rates and surcharges incurred by ratepayers for the costs associated with eliminating certain PFCs from their drinking water. In January 2020, defendant 3M Company removed the class action to federal court. The Company filed motions to dismiss in both of these cases. On December 17, 2020, the Superior Court of Floyd County denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in the Rome case. On September 20, 2021, the Northern District of Georgia denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in the class action.

The Company denies all liability in these matters and intends to defend all pending matters vigorously.

Belgian Tax Matter

The Company has been in a dispute with the Belgian Tax Authority (the “BTA”) regarding the proper tax treatment of the royalty income arising from intellectual property (“IP”) owned by a Luxembourg subsidiary, Flooring Industries Limited Sarl (“FIL”). The BTA had assessed Unilin BV for the calendar years ending December 2005 through 2010 in an amount totaling €223,321 (including penalties but excluding interest), alleging that Unilin BV inappropriately transferred valuable IP to FIL and income associated with that IP should be taxed in Belgium. Unilin BV challenged all of these assessments and prevailed both in the Court of First Appeal in Bruges and in the Ghent Court of Appeal. In 2021, the BTA indicated it will not appeal these cases to the Supreme Court and has withdrawn all of the assessments for 2005 through 2010. Consequently, all of those tax years are now closed.

Having lost under its original theory, the BTA is in the process of initiating new assessments for later years against FIL rather than Unilin BV. The BTA now alleges that FIL had a taxable presence in Belgium and should be taxed on royalties received in respect of its IP. The BTA issued initial assessments in December 2020 and June 2021 that totaled €371,696 (including penalties but excluding interest) for calendar years ending December 2013 through 2018. However, in November and December of 2021, the BTA cancelled these assessments and in April 2022 issued new assessments that total €186,734 (including penalties but excluding interest) for those years using different calculations. The Company expects an additional assessment for 2019.Under the statute of limitations, the BTA may not assess FIL for any years prior to 2013, and the Company believes that FIL’s statute of limitations is closed for 2013 through 2016, although this will be a point of contention with the BTA. These assessments involve the same underlying facts at issue in the above referenced cases where Unilin BV prevailed at two different levels. Consequently, the Company believes that its tax position in Belgium was correct and will persist with its vigorous defense.

When the BTA issues tax assessments, Belgian tax law requires assurances that the taxes can be paid even while they are being disputed. Consequently, the BTA has placed liens on various properties of Unilin BV to support the original assessments discussed above. Since those assessments have been nullified by the courts, the accompanying liens have been withdrawn. Since FIL does not have property in Belgium, the BTA may require assurances from FIL to support the new assessments for 2013 through 2019. These assurances may take the form of a bond or bank guarantees.

General

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment, recycling and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and finished product, and the cleanup of contamination associated therewith.

The Amendment also permits the Company to increase the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $600,000.

At the Company’s election, U.S.-dollar denominated revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) SOFR (plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment) for 1, 3 or 6 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% (1.00%(1.13% as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022)2023), or (b) the Base Rate (defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or SOFR (plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment) for a 1 month period rate plus 1.0%), plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% (0.00%(0.13% as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022)2023).

The applicable margins and the commitment fee are determined based on whichever of the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or its senior unsecured debt rating (or if not available, corporate family rating) results in the lower applicable margins and commitment fee (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as that ratio increases or those ratings decline, as applicable).

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

Overview

During the past twothree decades, the Company has grown significantly. Its current geographic breadth and diverse product offering are reflected in three reporting segments: Global Ceramic;Ceramic, Flooring NA;North America (“Flooring NA”) and Flooring ROW. TheRest of the World (“Flooring ROW”). Global Ceramic Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone tile and other products including natural stone, porcelain slabs and quartz countertops, which it distributes primarily in North America, Europe, Brazil and Russia through various selling channels, which include company-owned stores, independent distributors and home centers. The Flooring NA Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets its floor covering products, including broadloom carpet, carpet tile, carpet cushion, rugs, laminate, resilient,vinyl products, including luxury vinyl tile (“LVT”) and sheet vinyl, and wood flooring, all of which it distributes through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. The Flooring NA Segment’s product lines are sold through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, shop at home, online retailers, buying groups, commercial contractors and commercial end users. The Flooring ROW Segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses and markets laminate, resilient,vinyl products, including LVT and sheet vinyl, wood flooring, roofing panels, insulation boards, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”) and chipboards, which it distributes primarily in Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, company-owned distributors, home centers, commercial contractors and commercial end users.

Mohawk is a significant supplier of every major flooring category with manufacturing operations in 19 nations and sales in approximately 170 countries. Based on its annual sales, the Company believes it is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer. A majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States and Europe, which are also the Company’s primary markets. Additionally, the Company maintains operations in the United Kingdom, Russia,Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, BrazilRussia and other parts of the world. The Company is a leading provider of flooring for residential and commercial markets and has earned significant recognition for its innovation in design and performance as well as sustainability.

Due to its global footprint, Mohawk’s business is sensitive to macroeconomic events in the United States and abroad. The Company may continue to see fluctuating demand across a number of its markets. In response toaddition, as a result of Russian military actions in Ukraine, the Company experienced supply chain disruption of raw materials sourced from Ukraine (primarily clay), as well as other materials and spare parts needed in the Company’s operations. The Company was also impacted by global increases in the cost of natural gas, oil and oil-based raw materials and chemicals that were among the broader consequences of Russia’s actions. In addition, the United States, the European Union and other governments have imposed and extended sanctions on Russia as well as on certain individuals and financial institutions and have proposed the use of broader economic sanctions. Russia also imposed reciprocal sanctions against the United States and the European Union. Since the first quarter of 2022, the Company has suspended new investments in Russia. The broader consequences of this conflict, which may include further economic sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; potential retaliatory actions, including nationalization of foreign-owned businesses and intentional disruption of natural gas supply to Europe;businesses; increased tensions between the U.S.United States and countries in which the Company operates; potential supply chain disruption of raw materials sourced from Ukraine, primarily clay, and materials and spare parts needed in the Company’s operations; global increases in the cost of natural gas, oil and oil-based raw materials and chemicals; and the extent of the conflict’s effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted. In addition, the current environment has placed demands on the Company’s operations as the COVID-19 pandemic has at times caused disruptions in some of the Company’s markets and operations. The Company anticipates that new variants of the virus could have an impact on its markets and operations in ways that are difficult to predict due to the inconsistent effect the variants have had in different regions.

During the past year,2022, rapid cost escalations in materials, energy, transportation and labor have impacted the Company’s profitability across all segments. Mohawk has, to some extent, offsetsegments, and high inflation and rising interest rates affected new home construction and residential remodeling in most of the impactCompany’s markets. As consumers faced a higher cost of inflationary pressures throughliving, discretionary spending – including flooring purchases – declined; and, as a result, the Company’s customers reduced inventories, which continued into 2023. Despite multiple pricing actions, acrossimproved product categories and geographies; improved mix from sales of higher-value, differentiated products; andmix; productivity gains and cost containment measures, the Company did not completely offset inflation in manufacturingthe first half of 2023. Recently, material and logistics.

Similarly, inflationary pressures aroundfuture results as the globe may impact consumer and commercial investmentscosts flow through the statement of operations. To further address energy price volatility, the Company has invested in flooring and other large, deferrable purchases.renewable energy initiatives, which provide lower cost power to its facilities. During the quarter,first half of 2023, energy from the Company’s biomass plants lowered its cost and benefited its performance. During 2023 and 2022, the Company took actions to enhance future performance including facility and product rationalizations, restructuring initiatives and workforce reductions. We anticipateThe Company has continued to reduce costs across the enterprise by enhancing productivity, streamlining processes, controlling administrative expenses and executing restructuring actions. The Company anticipates these global actions will deliver annual savings of approximately $35$95 to $40$100 million, with an estimated cost of approximately $90$165 to $95$170 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Other than the Critical Accounting Policy described below, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the period. The Company's critical accounting policies are described in its 2021 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Goodwill and other intangibles - The Company performs its annual testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in the fourth quarter of each year. Between annual testing dates, the Company monitors factors such as its market capitalization, comparable company market multiples and macroeconomic conditions to identify conditions that could impact the Company’s assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets significantly enough to trigger an impairment.

The goodwill impairment tests are based on determining the fair value of the specified reporting units based on management judgements and assumptions using the discounted cash flows under the income approach classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and comparable company market valuation classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy approaches. The Company has identified Global Ceramic, Flooring NA and Flooring ROW as its reporting units for the purposes of allocating goodwill and intangibles as well as assessing impairments. The valuation approaches are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgements and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, WACC and comparable company market multiples.

As a result of a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, comparable company market multiples, projected future cash flows and an increase in the WACC due to increases in the risk free rate and applicable risk premiums, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred requiring goodwill impairment testing for each of its reporting units as of October 1, 2022. The impairment test indicated a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Ceramic reporting unit of $688,514 ($679,664 net of tax) which the Company recorded during the three months ended October 1, 2022. The Company concluded goodwill of its other reporting units was not impaired at October 1, 2022.

The Company compared the estimated fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles to their carrying values and determined that there were impairments of $7,257 ($5,939 net of tax) in the Flooring ROW and Flooring NA reporting units during the three months ended October 1, 2022.

A significant or prolonged deterioration in economic conditions, continued increases in the costs of raw materials and energy combined with an inability to pass these costs on to customers, a further decline in the Company’s market capitalization or comparable company market multiples, projected future cash flows, or increases in the WACC, could impact the Company’s assumptions and require a reassessment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in future periods. The excess of fair value over carrying value for the Flooring ROW reporting unit was approximately 20% and the excess of fair value over carrying value for the Flooring NA reporting unit was less than 5% as of October 1, 2022. Future declines in estimated after tax cash flows, increases in the WACC or a decline in market capitalization could result in an additional indication of impairment in one or more of the Company’s reporting units.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum-based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities utilized in the Company’s production process. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, labor, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity, reduce costs and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of October 1, 2022.
