NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 201723, 2018 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 201723, 2018 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2017,February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-07,2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), to address the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") on tax effects presented in other comprehensive income. The amended guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Act. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost. The amended guidance requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement, and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. We adopted the amended guidance in Q1 2019 using the practical expedient which allows entities to use information previously disclosed in their pension and other post-retirement benefit plans footnote as the basis to apply the retrospective presentation requirements.
The adoption of this ASU resulted in the following reclassifications in our 2018 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The amounts reclassified in Q1 2018 include $7.1 of charges related to annuitizing three of the Company's smaller defined benefit plans. There was no impact to Net income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of this accounting change.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early2019, with early adoption is permitted for the fiscal years, and interim periods within the first interim period of athose fiscal year.years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The update is intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. In Q1 2018, we chose to early adopt this guidance, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which is part of the FASB Simplification Initiative. The updated guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance in Q1 2018 and, as a result, the income tax effects of our share-based compensation awards, which aggregated $0.7, were recognized as a component of Income tax expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended November 24, 2017 instead of a component of Additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 24, 2017. The remaining requirements of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption of this guidance will result in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we are currently evaluating the extent of this increase.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which establishes a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. TheWe adopted the updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adoption of the new standard, but based on analysis performed as of November 24, 2017, we do not anticipate a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We currently plan to apply the new standardQ1 2019 using the modified retrospective method, beginning in 2019.which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 for additional information.
3.REVENUE
We implemented ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), in Q1 2019 using the modified-retrospective method, which required the new guidance to be applied retrospectively to revenue transactions completed on or after the effective date. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements except for enhanced disclosures. All necessary changes required by the new standard, including those related to our accounting policies, controls and disclosures, have been identified and implemented as of the beginning of 2019.

Accounting Policies
Our revenue consists substantially of product sales and related service revenue. Product sales are reported net of discounts and are recognized when control passes to the purchaser, which is when the rights and obligations associated with the product or service have transferred to the purchaser. For sales to our dealers, this typically occurs when product is shipped. In cases where we sell directly to customers, control of the product is often transferred upon delivery. The performance obligation from services is considered satisfied when the services have been rendered.
For shipping and handling activities, we have elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-25-18B, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities rather than a promised good or service when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. We expense shipping and handling costs at the time revenue is recognized, which is in accordance with the policy election.
For sales tax, we elected to apply the accounting policy election permitted in ASC 606-10-32-2A, which allows an entity to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). This allows us to present revenue net of these certain types of taxes.

Contract Balances
We have contract assets which are reported as Accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets represent the amount of consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods or services rendered to our customers.
At times, we receive deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of a contract liability (Customer deposits) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in the Customer deposits balance during the three months ended May 25, 2018 are as follows:
 Customer Deposits
Balance as of February 23, 2018$28.2
 
Increases due to deposits received, net of other adjustments12.5

Practical Expedients Elected
For incremental costs of obtaining a contract, we have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 340-40-25-4, which permits an entity to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period will be less than one year. This election had no effect on our financial statements.
For significant financing components, we have elected the practical expedient permitted in ASC 606-10-32-18, which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. As our contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components, consideration is not adjusted.
4.EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities represent restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

5.6.FAIR VALUE
The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our short-term investments, foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our total debt is carried at cost and was $295.6294.3 and $297.4295.0 as of November 24, 2017May 25, 2018 and February 24, 201723, 2018, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $325$313 and $330316 as of November 24, 2017May 25, 2018 and February 24, 201723, 2018, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.
We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

7.8.INCOME TAXES
In Q4 2018, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which was effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affect 2018 and future periods. The following is a summary of the key corporate income tax provisions of the Tax Act:
reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%,
implemented a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed non-U.S. subsidiary earnings and generally eliminated the U.S. federal corporate income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries,
included global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions, which impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations, and
included base-erosion and anti-abuse tax provisions, which eliminate the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations, and imposed a minimum tax if greater than regular tax.
As of May 25, 2018, the amounts we have recorded for the Tax Act remain provisional for the deemed repatriation tax, the remeasurement of deferred taxes, our reassessment of permanently reinvested earnings, uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances. These amounts may be impacted by further analysis and future clarification and guidance regarding available tax accounting methods and elections, earnings and profits computations, state tax conformity to federal tax changes and the impact of the GILTI provisions.
As of May 25, 2018, we were unable to reasonably estimate, and therefore have not recorded, deferred taxes with respect to the GILTI provisions. We have not yet determined our policy election with respect to whether to record deferred taxes on basis differences that are expected to affect the amount of GILTI inclusions upon reversal or to record the impact of the GILTI tax in the period in which that tax is incurred.

9.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance Units
During the nine months ended November 24, 2017,In Q1 2019, we awarded 154,500183,900 performance units ("PSUs") to our executive officers.certain key employees. The PSUs awarded are earned after a three-year performance period, from 20182019 through 2020,2021, based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition, and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount; therefore, the maximum number of shares that can be issued under these awards is 309,000367,800. These PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance period. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of these PSUs on the date of grant. The model resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.7718.02 per unit for these PSUs, compared to $16.3321.76 and $24.1516.33 per unit for similar PSUs granted in 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:

8.10.ACQUISITIONS
On December 26, 2017, we acquired AMQ Solutions ("AMQ"), a California-based provider of height-adjustable desking, benching and seating for workstations in the open plan, collaborative environments and training rooms. In addition, we acquired certain assets of an affiliated company, Tricom Vision Limited. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $69.9, which was primarily funded by the liquidation of short-term investments. Up to an additional $5.0 is payable to the sellers contingent upon certain performance obligations being met over a two year period. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our reach within the industry by broadening our portfolio at lower price points. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition consists largely of economies of scale expected from integrating AMQ into our existing dealer network.
Tangible assets and liabilities were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. We have recorded $30.1 related to identifiable intangible assets, $31.5 to goodwill and approximately $12.5 related to working capital items such as accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The entire amount recorded to goodwill is recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Intangibles are principally related to dealer relationships which will be amortized over 11 years.
In Q1 2019, we recorded measurement period adjustments of $0.5 related to a decrease in net working capital and a decrease of $0.2 to the contingent liability payable to the sellers for certain liabilities existing prior to the opening balance sheet date. These adjustments increased goodwill by $0.3, and all amounts referenced above are inclusive of these measurement period adjustments.
11.REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate costs are reported as Corporate.
The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a portfolio of integrated architecture, furniture and technology products marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Turnstone and TurnstoneAMQ brands.
The EMEA segment serves customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily under the Steelcase and Coalesse brands, with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, storage and seating solutions.
The Other category includes Asia Pacific, Designtex and PolyVision. Asia Pacific serves customers in Asia and Australia primarily under the Steelcase brand with an emphasis on freestanding furniture systems, seating and storage solutions. Designtex primarily sells textiles, wall coverings and surface imaging solutions specified by architects and designers directly to end-use customers through a direct sales force primarily in North America. PolyVision manufactures ceramic steel surfaces for use in various applications globally, including static whiteboards and chalkboards sold through third party fabricators and distributors to the primary and secondary education markets and architectural panels and other special applications sold through general contractors for commercial and infrastructure projects.
We primarily review and evaluate operating income by segment in both our internal review processes and for our external financial reporting. We also allocate resources primarily based on operating income. Total assets by segment include manufacturing and other assets associated with each segment.
Corporate costs include unallocated portions of shared service functions, such as information technology, corporate facilities, finance, human resources, research, legal and customer aviation, plus deferred compensation expense and income or losses associated with COLI. Corporate assets consist primarily of unallocated cash short-term investments and COLI.

Despite the revenue growth, operating income declined, primarily due to higher commodity costs globally, lower pricing and unfavorable shifts in business mix in the quarter. We have been receiving positive feedback from our customers and dealers from our new product introductions, partnership offerings and the pending acquisition of AMQ Solutions, and the number of large project opportunities and our project win rates have been increasing.Americas.

Year-to-Date 2018 Compared to Year-to-Date 2017
We recorded year-to-date 2018 net income of $80.7 compared to year-to-date 2017 net income of $98.8. The decline was driven by higher cost of sales as a percentage of revenueTax Cuts and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher sales volume in the Other category. The year-to-date 2018 results reflected the net impact of the sale of property in Rosenheim, Germany and a favorable tax adjustment recorded in Q2 2018 which together increased diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.05, partially offset by the defined benefit plan annuitizations recorded in Q1 2018 which decreased diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.03.

Our significant funding requirements include a pending acquisition, operating expenses, non-cancelable operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, variable compensation and retirement plan contributions, dividend payments and debt service obligations. We intend to fund the pending acquisition of Smith System Manufacturing Company for approximately $145, plus an adjustment for working capital, through a combination of domestic cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility.
We currently expect capital expenditures to approximate $80 to $90 in 20182019 compared to $61$88 in 2017.2018. This amount includes investments in our global manufacturing operations, product development and the new Learning + Innovation Center in Munich.our customer-facing facilities.
