"We delivered strong first quarter earnings, above expectations, reflecting solid execution across the enterprise. Despite softer than expected demand patterns in the quarter, we remain confident in our earnings outlook for the second quarter and full fiscal year. We are directing our efforts toward three key areas: focused priority setting, disciplined cost management, and strengthening our balance sheet for long-term value creation. Our results this quarter reflect the early impact of this work, and we expect this progress to continue," said Jeff Stutz, Interim Chief Executive Officer.
First Quarter Tariff Refund Impact
• During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we recognized an approximate $10 million net increase in our operating income related to refunds received from the U.S. government of previously paid IEEPA tariffs (the " tariff refunds "). This resulted in a net per share benefit of $0.11 to our diluted earnings per share and 110 basis points of net improvement in our operating margin in the quarter.
First Quarter
• Net sales of $923.4 million, down 3.4% as reported and down 3.3% organically * , year-over-year • Orders of $913.9 million, up 3.2% as reported and up 3.5% organically * , year-over-year • Gross margin increased 320 basis points and adjusted gross margin * increased 330 basis points, primarily from the tariff refunds and price realization, partially offset by inflationary cost pressure • Operating expenses increased to $333.5 million, and adjusted operating expenses * increased to $320.1 million, driven primarily by higher compensation expense, including variable incentive compensation, and higher new store expense, partially offset by improved cost management • Operating expense special charges of $13.4 million:
◦ $6.0 million of restructuring charges related to targeted workforce reductions and facility consolidations
◦ $5.7 million of purchase accounting amortization
◦ $1.7 million of CEO transition costs
• Operating margin of 5.6%, compared to 5.6% in the prior year, and adjusted operating margin * of 7.1%, compared to 6.3% in the prior year, included 110 basis points in net tariff refunds benefit • Diluted earnings per share of $0.38, compared to $0.29 in the prior year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share * of $0.53, compared to $0.45 in the prior year, included the $0.11 per share net benefit from tariff refunds
First Quarter 2027 Cash Flow, Debt, and Liquidity
• Liquidity, as of August 29, 2026, of $580.4 million reflected cash on hand and revolving credit facility availability
• Cash flow from operations of $49.1 million, compared to $9.4 million in the prior year
• Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by our credit facility, of 2.75x
• Near term scheduled debt maturities:

◦ $89.8 million in fiscal 2029
Dividend

These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Supplemental Data." |

• Estimated $0.07 per share unfavorable impact from Canada-related tariff costs over the next three quarters, as well as the $0.11 per share net benefit from tariff refunds in the first quarter

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Supplemental Data
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included within this presentation. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented.
The non-GAAP financial measures referenced within this presentation may include: Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Bank Covenant EBITDA, and Organic Growth (Decline).
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate refers to the projected full-year GAAP tax rate, adjusted to exclude certain unusual or infrequent events that are expected to significantly impact that rate.
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported operating earnings less amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, and CEO transition costs. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated as adjusted operating earnings (loss) divided by net sales.
Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, debt extinguishment charges, CEO transition costs and the related tax effect of these adjustments. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Gross Margin represents gross margin plus restructuring charges. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Operating Expenses represents reported operating expenses excluding restructuring charges, amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles, and CEO transition costs. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Bank Covenant EBITDA is calculated by excluding depreciation, amortization, interest expense, taxes from net income, and certain other adjustments. Other adjustments include, as applicable in the period, charges associated with business restructuring actions, integration charges, impairment expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, and other items as described in our lending agreements.
Organic Growth (Decline) represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects.
The adjustments to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures are as follows:
Amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles: Includes expenses associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangibles acquired as part of the Knoll acquisition. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. We exclude the impact of the amortization of Knoll purchased intangibles as such non-cash amounts were significantly impacted by the size of the Knoll acquisition. Furthermore, we believe that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Although we exclude the Amortization of Knoll Purchased Intangibles in these non-GAAP measures, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
Restructuring charges: Includes costs associated with actions involving targeted workforce reductions, facility consolidation charges, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
Debt extinguishment charges: Includes expenses associated with the extinguishment of debt. We excluded these items from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
CEO transition costs: Includes one‑time expenses consisting primarily of severance, benefits and advisory fees.
Tax related items: We excluded the income tax benefit/provision effect of the tax related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our ongoing operating results.
Certain tables below summarize select financial information, for the periods indicated, related to each of the Company’s reportable segments. The North America Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout the United States and Canada as well as the global operations of the Spinneybeck, FilzFelt, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textile brands. The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products, indirectly or directly through an independent dealership network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The Global Retail segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores as well as the global operations of the Holly Hunt brand. Corporate costs represent unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and integration-related costs.

These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates” or other words or phrases of similar import. It is uncertain whether any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations or financial condition or the price of our stock. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

• Cybersecurity threats and risks;
• Public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and governmental policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals or to maintain the functioning of national or global economies; • Risks related to the additional debt incurred in connection with our acquisition of Knoll, including increased interest expense, our ability to comply with our debt covenants and obligations, and limitations on certain business activities imposed by our credit agreement;
