We adopted this guidance in Q1 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
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 GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. We adopted this guidance in Q1 2021 using a modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts based upon several factors, including customer credit qualityhave assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and historical write-off trends. We also use general information regarding industry trends, the economic environment and information gathered through our network of field-based employees. The adoption of this guidance didconcluded that those not significantly impact our accounting policiesdisclosed are either not applicable to us or methods utilized to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715-20, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General. The amended guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include (a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year and (b) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures include descriptions of significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures but isare not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

4.EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

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 foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our total debt is carried at cost and was $483.3$484.5 and $484.3$483.9 as of August 28, 202027, 2021 and February 28, 2020,26, 2021, 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 $522.6$565.8 and $560.0$568.1 as of August 28, 202027, 2021 and February 28, 2020,26, 2021, 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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of August 28, 202027, 2021 and February 28, 202026, 2021 are summarized below:

_______________________________________
(1)In Q1 2021, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge in the EMEA segment related to the Orangebox U.K. reporting unit.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in Q4, or earlier if conditions indicate it is necessary. In Q1 2021, we determined that a triggering event occurred which resulted in an interim impairment evaluation of goodwill for each of our reporting units. During Q1 2021, the market price of our Class A Common Stock declined significantly in connection with overall stock market trends related to the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction in revenue in Q1 2021 and changes to our forecasted revenue growth rates and expected operating margins related to the economic disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic were also factors that led to the completion of our interim impairment analysis.
For goodwill, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach, which calculates the fair value of each reporting unit based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. For the evaluation that we conducted in Q1 2021, such conditions included the deterioration of industry and market conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The discount rates used are based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting units' ability to execute on the projected cash flows. In certain circumstances, we corroborate the results determined using the income approach with a market-based approach that uses observable comparable company information to support the appropriateness of the fair value estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
As a result of our goodwill impairment testing, we determined that the carrying value of the Orangebox U.K. reporting unit (included in the EMEA segment) exceeded its fair value, resulting in a $17.6 goodwill impairment charge in Q1 2021. Following the charge, the reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. During Q1 2021, we also tested the recoverability of the Orangebox U.K. long-lived assets (other than goodwill) and concluded that those assets were not impaired.
For each of our other reporting units, we determined that the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, and no goodwill impairment existed. We also determined that no impairment existed related to the long-lived asset groups for any of our other reporting units.
9.SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Our $250.0 committed unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility expires in 2025. At our option, and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $125.0 by obtaining at least one commitment from one or more lenders. During Q1 2021, we borrowed $250.0 under the facility and repaid $5.0. During Q2 2021, we repaid the remaining balance of $245.0 under the facility, and there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility as of August 28, 2020.
The facility does not include any restrictions on cash dividend payments or share repurchases. As of August 28, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.
10.INCOME TAXES
In Q1 2021, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support to businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). In connection with our analysis of the impact of the CARES Act, we recorded a net tax benefit of $3.9 during the six months ended August 28, 2020, driven primarily by provisions within the CARES Act which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act when the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%.
We have historically calculated the provision for income tax expense (benefit) during interim periods by applying an estimate of the annualized effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to the pre-tax income (loss) for the year-to-date period. In Q1 2021, we utilized the year-to-date actual effective tax rate to calculate our income tax expense (benefit), as we determined that it was the most reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate. In Q2 2021, as a result of improved pre-tax income, we applied the estimated annualized effective tax rate for the fiscal year to pre-tax income for the year-to-date period to calculate our income tax expense. The effective tax rate for Q2 2021 was 33.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 26.3% in Q2 2020.
11.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance Units
During the six months ended August 28, 2020, weWe have issued two sets of performance units (“PSUs”) to certain employees. The first set, consisting of 303,973 PSUs, will be earned at the end of 2021 (the “2021 Short-Term PSUs”), and the second set, consisting of 529,500 PSUs, will beemployees which are earned over a three-year performance period of 2021 through 2023 (the “2021 Long-Term PSUs”). The 2021 Short-Term PSUs will be earned based on our Compensation Committee’s qualitative assessment of management’s performance in 2021 in a number of specified areas (collectively, the “2021 Performance Measures”). The 2021 Long-Term PSUs will be earned based on achievement of certain performance conditions andestablished annually by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of the applicable fiscal year. The PSUs are then modified based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies. Thecompanies, which is a market condition. When the performance conditions for a fiscal year are established, or if the performance conditions involve a qualitative assessment and such assessment has been made, one-third of the PSUs issued are considered granted. Therefore, each of the three fiscal years within the performance period is considered an individual tranche of the award (referred to as "Tranche 1," "Tranche 2" and "Tranche 3," respectively).
As of August 27, 2021, Long-Termthe following PSUs consisthave been issued and remained outstanding:
448,300 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 PSUs"),
529,500 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2021 through 2023 (the "2021 PSUs") and
296,600 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2020 through 2022 (the "2020 PSUs").
In Q1 2022, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2022 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2021 Performance MeasuresPSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2020 PSUs. Accordingly, one-third of each of these PSUs were considered granted in Q1 2022.
In Q1 2021, the performance conditions were established for 2022Tranche 1 of the 2021 PSUs and 2023Tranche 2 of the 2020 PSUs. These performance conditions involved a qualitative assessment which will be establishedwas made by the Compensation Committee in future periods. Due to the qualitative assessment,Q4 2021.

DuringWe used the six months ended August 23, 2019, we issued 296,600 PSUsMonte Carlo simulation model to certain employees which will be earned over a three-year performance period of 2020 through 2022 (the “2020 Long-Term PSUs”). The 2020 Long-Term PSUs will be earned based on achievement of certain performance conditions and then modified based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies. The performance conditions for the first year of the performance period were established in Q1 2020, and accordingly, 98,867 of the 2020 Long-Term PSUs were considered granted in Q1 2020. The 2021 Performance Measures have been established as the performance conditions for the second year of the performance period of the 2020 Long-Term PSUs, and accordingly, no additional portion of such awards have been considered granted. When the Compensation Committee determines whether or not, and to what extent, the 2021 Performance Measures have been met, an additional one-third of these awards will be considered granted. Once granted, the expense for these awards will be determined based on the target achieved andcalculate the fair value of the market conditionconditions on the respective grant dates, which resulted in a fair value of $6.1, $3.7 and $1.6 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the six months ended August 28, 2020,27, 2021, we awarded 1,131,700839,818 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the shares on the date of grant.

12.9.     LEASES
We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing facilities, vehicles and equipment that expire at various dates through 2031. Certain lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours used) and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion. The lease terms utilized in determining right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include the noncancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods. Our leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate represents the estimated rate of interest we would have had to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar period of time.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the "Staff Q&A") on the application of lease accounting guidance related to lease concessions provided as a result of the pandemic. The Staff Q&A provides interpretive guidance allowing companies the option to account for lease concessions related to the pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed at the beginning of the contract (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract). This interpretive guidance was issued in order to reduce the costs and complexities of applying lease modification accounting under Topic 842 to leases impacted by the effects of the pandemic. We have elected to apply the interpretive guidance provided in the Staff Q&A to rent deferrals or abatements received related to the pandemic. Accordingly, we have not remeasured the related right-of-use asset or lease liability for the affected leases. The lease concessions were not material for the six months ended August 28, 2020.

In Q2 2021, our Board of Directors approved a series of restructuring actions in response to continued order declines in the Americas compared to the prior year and continued economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring actions include early retirements and voluntary and involuntary terminations of approximately 300 salaried employees and early retirements of approximately 160 hourly employees. We expect to incur approximately $26 in restructuring costs in the Americas segment in connection with these actions, consisting of cash severance payments and payment of other separation-related benefits. We recorded $15.6 of restructuring costs in Q2 2021 related to the actions which were initiated during the quarter. We expect all of the actions to be completed by the end of 2021.following table:

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2020.26, 2021. Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a specific date. 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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of income,operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue decline,growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and estimated currency translation effects, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding goodwill impairment charges and restructuring costs. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.
Financial Summary

Overview

During Q2 2021, our2022, we continued to see strengthening demand, and orders reflected a year-over-year decline of 32% (adjusted for the impact of a divestiture and currency translation effects) as a result of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and the rates of decline began to moderate during the quarter in EMEA and Asia Pacific as many workers returned to their offices in those markets. We reported an 18% decline in revenue in Q2 2021grew 24% compared to the prior year asand 12% compared to Q1 2022. Revenue in the reduced demand was partially offset by aAmericas in Q2 2021 benefited from strong beginning order backlog of customer orders (primarily in the Americas) which exceeded the prior year by 11% due to pandemic-related restrictions on our manufacturing and delivery activities during Q1 2021. DespiteRevenue in the declineAmericas in revenue,Q2 2022 was negatively impacted by at least $40 due to shipment delays caused by supply chain disruptions. During the quarter, our operating incomepipeline of project opportunities and requests for proposals in the Americas declined compared to Q1 2022 as recent trends in the COVID-19 pandemic caused some companies to delay their return to the office.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by $3.3520 basis points in Q2 20212022 compared to the prior year,year. The increase was driven by lower revenue, significant inflation in steel and other commodities, and freight cost inefficiencies due to supply chain disruptions. We expect the significantinflationary pressures from steel and other commodities to continue to impact our cost reduction actions we implemented across all segments, including temporarily reduced pay for most of our global salaried workforce.
By the end of Q2 2021, we restored most of our salaried workforce to full pay, whichsales through 2022, but we expect will result in approximately $20 of additionalour recent price increases to more fully offset these costs in Q3 2021 as compared to Q2 2021. In addition, we announced workforce reductions in the Americas which we expect will lower our annualized costs by approximately $40. We expect to record a total of approximately $26 of restructuring costs related to the workforce reductions, $15.6 of which was recorded during Q2 2021 and the remainder of which is expected to be recorded in Q3 2021.

During Q1 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic uncertainty, we took a number of actions to protect our liquidity, including borrowing under our global credit facility, temporarily reducing pay for most of our salaried workforce, eliminating travel and events, overtime, temporary labor and annual merit increases, and scaling back project spending. During Q2 2021, as we were able to resume our manufacturing activities globally and our revenue improved, we repaid all outstanding borrowings under our global credit facility and, by the end of the quarter, we restored most of our salaried workforce to full pay. Due to the continued year-over-year declines in our recent order patterns and the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented workforce reductions in our Americas segment, and we expect to continue to maintain our other cost reduction efforts during the remainder of 2021.
On September 22, 2020,2021, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.10$0.145 per share, or approximately $11,$17, to be paid in Q3 2021.2022. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors:

For a more detailed explanation of the risks affecting our business, please refer to the Risk Factors section in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2020.26, 2021.  There hashave not been aany material changechanges to the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2020, except for the following risk factor which supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed and should be considered in conjunction with the Risk Factors section in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2020:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant and adverse effect on our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by various governments and third parties to combat the spread of COVID-19 (including, in some cases, mandatory quarantines and other suspensions of non-essential business operations) caused significant disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution operations and supply chains during Q1 2021 and required many office workers globally to work from home on a temporary basis, which has had a negative impact on global demand for our industry. In response to these developments, we took a number of actions to temporarily reduce our spending, including temporary and permanent layoffs, temporary pay reductions and reduced spending on product development and strategic initiatives. These actions have had and may continue to have a negative impact on our employee retention and our growth strategies in the future.
The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a negative impact on many of our customers, particularly those in the retail, hospitality, automotive, aviation, energy and flexible real estate sectors, and thus has negatively affected our revenues and may increase credit risk for us and our dealers. In addition, the actions being taken by governments and third parties to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in increased working from home for an extended period of time, which has been impacting and may continue to impact overall demand for office furniture and our revenue.
The severity of these various impacts on our business will depend in part on whether governments reimpose quarantine or stay-at-home orders in the coming months, the timing of when companies have their employees return to the office, the continuation of government benefits and other stimulus efforts to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the speed of the recovery of economic conditions globally and locally, all of which are highly uncertain and out of our control. The impacts of COVID-19 are far-reaching, and the duration and intensity of the impact on our business, our industry and the global economy are not yet fully known.26, 2021.
