NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Background
Armstrong Flooring, Inc. is a leading global producer of resilient flooring products for use primarily in the construction and renovation of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. AFI designs, manufactures, sources and sells resilient flooring products in North America and the Pacific Rim.
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.SU.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include management estimates and judgments, where appropriate. Management uses estimates to record many items including allowances for expected credit losses, inventory obsolescence, lower of cost or market or net realizable value charges, warranty reserves, sales-related accruals, pension and post-retirement liabilities, workers compensation, general liability and environmental claims and income taxes. When preparing an estimate, management determines the amount based upon the consideration of relevant information. Management may confer with outside parties, including outside counsel. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been included to provide a fair statement of the results for the reporting periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual results, primarily due to the seasonality of the business and the possibility of changes in economic conditions between periods.
The accounting policies used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are the same as those used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
All significant intercompany transactions within AFI have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with current year classifications.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The following accounting standard has been adopted in 2021:
On January 1, 2021 we adopted ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"Taxes." This new standard eliminates certain exceptions in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, guidance on accounting for franchise taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
There are no additional accounting standards that have been issued and become effective for the Company at a future date which are expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS
Environmental Matters.
Environmental Compliance
Our manufacturing and research facilities are affected by various federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of materials and the protection of the environment. We make expenditures necessary for compliance with applicable environmental requirements at each of our operating facilities. These regulatory requirements continually change, therefore we cannot predict with certainty future expenditures associated with compliance with environmental requirements.
Environmental Sites
In connection with our current or legacy manufacturing operations, or those of former owners, we may from time to time become involved in the investigation, closure and/or remediation of existing or potential environmental contamination under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and state or international Superfund and similar type environmental laws. For those matters, we may have rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies; however, we cannot predict with certainty the future identification of or expenditure for any investigation, closure or remediation of any environmental site.
Summary of Financial Position
There were no0 material liabilities recorded as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for potential environmental liabilities that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be made.

Other Claims
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal matters from time to time that arise in the ordinary course of conducting business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, relationships with suppliers, relationships with distributors, relationships with competitors, employees and other matters. For example, we are currently a party to various litigation matters that involve product liability, tort liability and other claims under a wide range of allegations, including illness due to exposure to certain chemicals used in the workplace, or medical conditions arising from exposure to product ingredients or the presence of trace contaminants. In some cases, these allegations involve multiple defendants and relate to legacy products that we and other defendants purportedly manufactured or sold. We believe these claims and allegations to be without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. For these matters, we also may have rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies.

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

The following discussion supplements and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2020, which includes additional information about the Company's critical accounting policies, contractual obligations, and transactions that support the financial results and provides a more comprehensive summary of the Company's outlooks, trends and strategies for 2021 and beyond.


Executive Overview

We are a leading global producer of flooring products for use primarily in the construction and renovation of commercial, residential and institutional buildings. We design, manufacture, source and sell resilient flooring products primarily in North America and the Pacific Rim. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we operated seven manufacturing plants in three countries, including five manufacturing plants located throughout the U.S. (Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma and two in Pennsylvania) and one plant each in China and Australia.

During early 2020, we established a multi-year strategic roadmap to transform and modernize our operations to become a leaner, faster-growing and more profitable business. The transformation encompasses three critical objectives: (i) expanding customer reach; (ii) simplifying product offerings and operations; and (iii) strengthening core capabilities. In addition, we have implemented a new operating model to more effectively accomplish these objectives by: (i) placing customers first by aligning services and products through a more seamless value chain; (ii) leading the industry in product innovation; (iii) simplifying processes and operating complexity to become more competitive and efficient; (iv) realigning the go-to-market model to reach all relevant channels and customers; (v) implementing system changes to improve operations, reduce costs and reignite organic growth; and (vi) investing thoughtfully with a return-focused mindset. The goal of this focused strategy is to transform and modernize AFI, resulting in a company that is more agile, faster-growing and more profitable.

Building on the positive momentum and achievements from the prior year, during 2021, despite experiencing inflationary and supply chain headwinds, we have (i) commencedcompleted the phased relocation of our new corporate headquarters with the ribbon-cutting at our newand Technical Center during the first quarter of 2021 and completion of theincluding a first-of-its-kind design center to showcase our full move expected during the summer of 2021capabilities, with expected cost savings of approximately 60% when fully annualized; (ii) launched several new key products including additions to the American Charm collection and the introduction of NexProTM, NexproTM XMB, and Rest & RefugeTM; (iii) commenced shipments from the Company's new fully operational west coast distribution center; (iv) continued to execute on our multichannel go-to-market strategy, including expanded rebranding initiatives and the launch of the new distributor-driven Armstrong®Armstrong® Flooring SignatureTM brand and the Armstrong®Armstrong® Flooring ProTM brand that is focused on the builder and multi-family channels; (v) continued initiatives aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency and customer experiences; and (iv)(vi) continued to make investments in both talent and process improvements.improvements; and (vii) made our initial sales to the hospitality channel in the second quarter.

On March 10, 2021 we completed the sale of our South Gate California facilityFacility for a total purchase price of $76.7 million. The Company received proceeds of $65.3 million, net of fees, expenses and certain amounts held in an environmental-related escrow account. The Company recognized a gain of $46.0 million on the sale. Concurrent with the sale, the Company paid $20.4 million to Pathlight Capital L.P., including a $20.0 million mandatory repayment of our Term Loan Facility and $0.4 million of prepayment premium fees. Additionally, upon completion of the sale, the temporary $30.0 million restriction on available liquidity under the Amended ABL Credit Facility was removed.

COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we have seen the overall impact on our business decline. However, we remain committed to safeguarding our employees and the communities in which we operate, while continuing to deliver our products to customers. We have experienced the impact of the imbalance of global shipping capacity and demand which has led to delays in the receipt of goods from China and Vietnam at U.S. ports. Additionally, while overall economic activity has improved, some of our customers' commercial projects in the retail, office, medical and educational sectors continue to be postponed. These factors have led to a softer demand environment in certain states and channels. The ultimate duration and impact of the pandemic on our future results is unknown.

Outlook
Looking forward, we remainthe Company remains committed to profitable growth over the medium and long-term; however, results will continue to be negatively impacted by inflation, supply chain disruptions and the timing of price increases as well as COVID-19 in 2021, primarily in the commercial markets served by the Company as well as costs associated with Company's on-going business transformation initiatives. The Company's view for the remainder of 2021 is supported by the below factors, which should be considered in the context of other risks, trends and strategies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020:

The Company expects sales to improve during the full year 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of decreased COVID-19 pressures, the impact of recently announced price increases, continued expansion into additional market segments, and positive trends in residential end markets and new product introductions.
Operating results in the short-term will be negatively impacted by incremental expenses necessary to execute the Company's business transformation initiatives. This includes anticipated higher Selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily during the remainder of 2021, to support ourthe Company's go-to-market changes. Funding for these initiatives will be aided by the deployment of capital associated with the sale of ourthe Company's South Gate California facility.Facility.
As the Company navigates 2021, it is focused on several uncertainties, which may impact operating results, including navigating the continued impact of COVID-19, inflationary and labor pressures as well as continued global logistics and the economy-wideshipping challenges. The global logistic and shipping challenges relateddelayed a substantial number of anticipated order deliveries from the second quarter of 2021 until the third quarter of 2021 and the Company continues to receiving goods from Asia.maintain a strong backlog.
During the firstsecond quarter of 2021, we experiencedthe Company continued to experience higher product and transportation costs, which offset a favorable product mix for the quarter. The higher product and transportation costs were driven by the unusual inflationary pressures relatedimpacts of the transitory macro-economic recovery which have been higher than historic norms. As a result, the Company currently estimates that total product and transportation costs for the full-year 2021 will be approximately $60 million to $65 million higher than prior year on a comparable basis. The Company is committed to cost containment efforts to offset the costimpact of raw materials,sourced productsinflation and freight which negatively impacted our gross margins. The Company's recent price increases have accounted for some, but not all, of these pressures. Selling price increases have phased implementation based on contractual terms with our customers. Thethe Company's ability to manage these costs will continue to impact the Company's gross margins, results of operations and cash flows for the remainder of 2021.
The Company has instituted multiple price increases during the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, increased costs have outpaced the Company's price increases to this point. A third price increase has been announced for August 2021.
As the Company continues to execute against its multi-year strategic roadmap, the primary areas of focus for 2021 continue to include: (i) continued focus on improving the customer experience while also improving overall profitability; (ii) continued introduction of compelling products into the markets we serve;the Company serves; and (iii) expansion of existing and entry into new market segments; and (iv) completion of our headquarters relocation during the summer of 2021.segments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased $32.7 million and 11.5% compared to strong performancethe six months ended June 30, 2020. These increases reflect growth in our foreign operations, primarily China. This was partially each region in which the Company operates. Demand improvements, favorable product mix and impacts from previously announced pricing initiatives drove sales increases in both Commercial and Residential channels, offset by a slight decrease in U.S. sales where we saw demand increase, but volume decreased due to inefficiencies caused by weather related delays caused bysupply chain disruptions (including the impact of winter storms which affected multiple manufacturing facilities. In addition, we experienced an overall increase in LVT sales.during the first quarter of 2021) despite strong demand.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, costs of goods sold increased $39.6 million and 16.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. These increases were primarily attributable to increased sales,volume, inflation related to the cost of freight and raw materials as well asand supply interruptions which caused manufacturing inefficiencies. In addition, the first quarter of 2021 was impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies caused by winter storms which affected multiple manufacturing plants.plants and the second quarter of 2021 was impacted by a $4.5 million charge, which included $3.3 million of accelerated depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment for which no alternative use was identified and a $1.2 million inventory rationalization charge related to the Company's business transformation initiatives.

The increases in both periods were due primarily to higher incentive compensation accruals during the three months ended March 2021 versus the same period in prior year and increased headcount in our sales organization to support changes in our go-to-market strategy.strategy, higher incentive compensation accruals compared to the same periods in prior year, increased advertising and promotion costs compared to the same periods in prior year and cost reduction measures implemented during 2020, in response to the impact of COVID-19, which did not repeat during the current year. In addition, there were incremental expenses of $0.3 million and $0.8 million related to the relocation of the Company's headquarters during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We expect current year costs to be more indicative of our future cost structure.

Business transformation costs
Beginning in 2018, the Company commenced a multi-year business transformation which resulted in a strategic roadmap formally announced during 2020. The multi-year roadmap encompasses three critical objectives: (i) expanding customer reach; (ii) simplifying product offerings and operations; and (iii) strengthening core capabilities.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of liquidity are, and we anticipate that they will continue to be, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our capital needs, including the costs of our business transformation initiatives, planned capital expenditures and to meet our interest and other contractual obligations in the near term. Our liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year with the majority of our cash flows generated in the second and third quarters.

As of March 31,June 30, 2021 there were no borrowings of $9.0 million outstanding under our Amended ABL Credit Facility, while outstanding letters of credit were $6.6 million.

Outstanding letters of credit issued under the Amended ABL Credit Facility are subject to fees which will be due quarterly in arrears based on the applicable margin described above plus a fronting fee. The total rate for letters of credit was 4.125% as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Debt Covenants
The Amended ABL Credit Facility requires, among other things, that we maintain a minimum Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Amendment) for the three-fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2020 and for any four-fiscal quarter period ending thereafter and during a Financial Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Amendment), and maintain a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amendment) of at least 1.00 to 1.00.

The Term Loan Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability to create liens, to undertake fundamental changes, to incur debt, to sell or dispose of assets, to make investments, to make restricted payments such as dividends, distributions or equity repurchases, to change the nature of our businesses, to enter into transactions with affiliates and to enter into certain burdensome agreements.

At March 31, 2021,June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Cash Management
The Company has various cash management systems throughout the world that centralize cash in various bank accounts where it is economically justifiable and legally permissible to do so. These centralized cash balances are then redeployed to other operations to reduce short-term borrowings and to finance working capital needs or capital expenditures. Due to the transitory nature of cash balances, they are normally invested in bank deposits that can be withdrawn at will or in very liquid short-term bank time deposits. The Company's policy is to primarily use the banks that participate in our Amended ABL credit facility located in the various countries in which the Company operates. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of banks and when appropriate will adjust banking operations to reduce or eliminate exposure to less creditworthy banks.
