NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

On April 1, 2016 Armstrong World Industries (“AWI”), a Pennsylvania corporation, separated AWI’s Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments from its Building Products (“Ceiling”) segment (the “Separation”). The Separation was effected by allocating the assets and liabilities related primarily to the Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments to Armstrong Flooring, Inc. (“AFI”) and then distributing the common stock of AFI to AWI’s shareholders (the “Distribution”). The Separation and Distribution (together, the “Spin-off”) resulted in AWI and AFI becoming two independent, publicly traded companies, with AFI owning and operating the Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments and AWI continuing to own and operate a ceilings business. When we refer to “AFI,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” in this report, we are referring to Armstrong Flooring, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its combined affiliates unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to “AWI,” we are referring to Armstrong World Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

We are a leading global producer of flooring products for use primarily in the construction and renovation of residential, commercial and institutional buildings. We design, manufacture, source and sell resilient and wood flooring products in North America and the Pacific Rim.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting policies used in preparing the Condensed Combined Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q are the same as those used in preparing the Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 in our information statement included in our Registration Statement (the “Information Statement”). These statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. 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 first quarter of 2016 and 2015 included in this report are unaudited. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual earnings, primarily due to the different level of sales in each quarter of the year and the possibility of changes in economic conditions.

These Condensed Combined Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The statements include management estimates and judgments, where appropriate. Management uses estimates to record many items including certain asset values, allowances for bad debts, inventory obsolescence and lower of cost or market charges, warranty reserves, worker's 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.

Throughout all periods covered by these Condensed Combined Financial Statements, AFI operated as a part of AWI. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements and accompanying data in this report have been prepared from AWI’s historical accounting records and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if the operations had been conducted independently of AWI. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements of AFI presented are not indicative of our future performance, and do not necessarily reflect what our historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been if we had operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during those periods.

The Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) include all revenues and costs attributable to AFI, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by AFI. Certain shared costs have been charged to AFI based on usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations also include allocations of (i) costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of AFI by centralized staff groups within AWI, (ii) AWI’s general corporate expenses and (iii) certain pension and other retirement benefit costs.

AFI is comprised of certain stand-alone legal entities for which discrete financial information is available, as well as portions of legal entities for which discrete financial information is not available (“Shared Entities”). For the Shared

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Entities for which discrete financial information was not available, such as shared utilities, taxes, and other shared costs, allocation methodologies were applied to allocate amounts to AFI. All of the allocations and estimates in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management of AWI and AFI believe are reasonable.

All charges and allocations of cost for facilities, functions and services performed by AWI have been deemed paid by AFI to AWI in cash, in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Transactions between AWI and AFI are accounted for through Net AWI investment.

AFI’s portion of current income taxes payable is deemed to have been remitted to AWI in the period the related tax expense is recorded. AFI’s portion of current income taxes receivable is deemed to have been remitted to AFI by AWI in the period to which the receivable applies only to the extent that a refund of such taxes could have been recognized by AFI on a stand-alone basis under the law of the relevant taxing jurisdiction.

All significant intercompany transactions within AFI have been eliminated from the combined financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date” which defers the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Gross versus Net),” which clarifies the implementation guidance in ASU 2014-09 relating to principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which clarifies guidance related to the impact of goods and services on a performance obligation and timing and pattern of recognition issues related to intellectual property contracts. These Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) updates are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but early adoption is permitted. We have not selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact these ASC updates will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The guidance requires that inventory that is measured on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis to be measured at lower of cost and net realizable value, as opposed to the lower of cost or market. For inventory that is measured under the last-in, first-out basis or the retail recovery method, there is no change to current measurement requirements. This new guidance must be applied prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The guidance requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This new guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The guidance addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Most notably, this new guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The guidance amends accounting for leases, most notably by requiring a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from a lease agreement. Specifically, this new guidance will require lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, with limited exceptions. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under existing U.S. GAAP. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and must be adopted under a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance simplifies accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded as income tax benefits or expense in the income statement and by allowing entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or retroactively. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

European Resilient Flooring

On December 4, 2014, AWI's Board of Directors approved the cessation of funding to our DLW subsidiary, which at the time was our European flooring business. As a result, DLW management filed for insolvency in Germany on December 11, 2014.

The DLW insolvency filing in December 2014 resulted in our disposal and presentation of DLW for all historical periods as a discontinued operation. However, the insolvency filing did not meet the U.S. tax criteria to be consider disposed of until the first quarter of 2015. In determining the U.S tax impact of the disposition, the liabilities, including an unfunded pension liability of approximately $115 million, were considered proceeds. However, pension deductions for tax purposes result only when the benefit payments are made. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset and non-cash income tax benefit of $43.4 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2015 within discontinued operation for the tax benefit of the future pension deductions.

At the date of insolvency, DLW had a net liability of $12.9 million, representing assets of $151.9 million and liabilities of $164.8 million, which were removed from AWI’s balance sheet. This net liability was recognized as a contingent liability on AWI’s balance sheet pending the closure and results of the insolvency proceedings. Any shortfall will be the responsibility of AWI immediately when identified and any excess will be reflected by AWI when insolvency proceedings are finalized. The liability has been excluded from AFI’s Combined Balance Sheets as AWI will be solely responsible for any shortfall, and the beneficiary of any excess, at the closure of the insolvency proceedings.

The following is a summary of the operating results of our discontinued business. These results were previously presented as part of the Resilient Flooring reporting segment.



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Loss on disposal of discontinued business before income tax	$	(0.1	)	$	(1.2	)
Income tax benefit	1.8			43.7
Net gain on disposal of discontinued business	$	1.7		$	42.5

The $0.1 million and $1.2 million pre-tax losses on disposal of discontinued business recorded in 2016 and 2015 were comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 3. RELATIONSHIP WITH AWI AND RELATED ENTITIES

Allocation of general corporate and other expenses

These Condensed Combined Financial Statements include expense allocations for certain functions provided by AWI, including, but not limited to finance, legal, information technology, and human resources as well as pension expenses. In 2015, these expenses were allocated on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount, or other measures. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, such expenses were deemed to be directly attributed to our segments.

The presentation of these costs allocated to us by AWI in our Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016		2015
Expense (income), net:
Cost of goods sold	$	—	$	2.3
Selling, general and administrative expenses	0.5		7.3
Other non-operating (income)	—		(0.2		)
Other non-operating expense	0.3		—
Total	$	0.8	$	9.4

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016			2015
Loss from continuing operations before income taxes:	$	(4.7	)	$	(3.2	)
Income tax (benefit) expense	(0.4		)	0.7
Effective tax rate	8.5		%	(21.9		)%

We recorded an income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2016 compared to an income tax expense in the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower unbenefited foreign operating losses.

Upon audit, taxing authorities may challenge all or part of an uncertain income tax position. While AFI has no history of tax audits on a stand-alone basis, AWI is routinely audited by U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. taxing authorities. Accordingly, AWI and AFI regularly assess the outcome of potential examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. We do not expect to record any material changes during 2016 to AFI's unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015.

Our non-current tax liability includes a $11.4 million liability related to our former DLW subsidiary. This liability remained with AWI at Separation.

As of March 31, 2016, we consider foreign unremitted earnings to be permanently reinvested.

As of March 31, 2016, AFI had no outstanding long-term debt. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding long-term debt of $10.0 million consisted of a variable rate tax-exempt industrial development bond that financed the construction of a Wood Flooring plant in Somerset, Kentucky. During the first quarter of 2016, this bond was defeased by paying $10.1 million, including $0.1 million of accrued interest, to the trustee in anticipation of a planned redemption at the next interest payment date of April 1, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, AFI had $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding.

NOTE 11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:



	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
(Dollars in millions)	Carrying amount		Estimated fair value		Carrying amount			Estimated fair value
Total debt	$	—	$	—	$	(10.0	)	$	(10.0	)
Foreign currency contracts, net	0.5		0.5		2.9			2.9

The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate estimated fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of outstanding debt at December 31, 2015 consisted of our $10.0 million variable rate tax-exempt industrial development bond, which was defeased during the first quarter of 2016. The fair values of our net foreign currency contracts, which were $0.5 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were estimated from market quotes which were provided by a well-recognized national market data provider, and which are considered to be Level 1 inputs. We do not have any assets or liabilities that are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 (unobservable) inputs.

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates that could impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. AWI enters into derivative contracts, including contracts to hedge our foreign currency exchange rate exposures. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled and derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Forward swap contracts are entered into by AWI for periods consistent with underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. At inception, hedges designated as hedging instruments are formally documented as either (1) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or “cash flow” hedge, or (2) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized liability or asset or “fair value” hedge. Derivatives are formally assessed both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, to ensure that derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued, and any future mark-to-market adjustments are recognized in earnings. Derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools and not for speculative trading purposes.

Counterparty Risk

AWI only enters into derivative transactions with established counterparties having a credit rating of BBB or better. Counterparty credit default swap levels and credit ratings are monitored on a regular basis. All of AWI’s derivative transactions with counterparties are governed by master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements (“ISDAs”) with netting arrangements. These agreements can limit exposure in situations where gain and loss positions are outstanding with a single counterparty. AWI neither posts nor receives cash collateral with any counterparty for its derivative transactions. These ISDAs do not have any credit contingent features; however, a default under AWI’s bank credit facility would trigger a default under these agreements. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled, and thus the risk of counterparty default is negligible.

Currency Rate Risk – Sales and Purchases

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To a large extent, our global manufacturing and sales provide a natural hedge of foreign currency exchange rate movement, as foreign currency expenses generally offset foreign currency revenues. We manage our cash flow exposures on a net basis and use derivatives to hedge the majority of

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

our unmatched foreign currency cash inflows and outflows. Before considering the impacts of any hedging, our major foreign currency exposures as of March 31, 2016, based on operating profits by currency, are to the Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi and the Australian dollar.

We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash inflows and outflows resulting from the sale of products to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These derivative instruments are used for forecasted transactions and are classified as cash flow hedges. These cash flow hedges are executed quarterly, generally up to 15 months forward. The notional amount of these hedges was $25.5 million and $34.9 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent effective, until the underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. The mark-to-market gains or losses on ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense. The earnings impact of the ineffective portion of these hedges was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Financial Statement Impacts

The following tables detail amounts related to our derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We had no derivative assets or liabilities that were not designated as hedging instruments at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

NOTE 13. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PROGRAMS

For the periods presented, certain of our North American employees participated in defined benefit pension and postretirement plans (the “Shared Plans”) sponsored by AWI. In addition, certain of our U.S. employees participate in a postretirement medical benefit plan sponsored by us (the “AFI Postretirement Plan”). The related net benefit plan obligations of the Shared Plans are not included in our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as we do not sponsor the Shared Plans and have no rights or obligations related to the Shared Plans’ assets or liabilities. Our Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) include Shared Plan expenses for our active and retired employees as well as an allocation of Shared Plan expenses associated with corporate personnel. The Shared Plan expenses presented in our Condensed Combined Financial Statements represent the allocation of plan costs to AFI and do not represent cash payments to AWI or to the Shared Plans.

The following table summarizes our pension and postretirement expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 16. 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 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.

Estimates of future liability at environmental sites are based on evaluations of currently available facts. We consider factors such as our activities associated with the site, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in remediating contaminated sites. Although current law imposes joint and several liability on all parties at Superfund sites, our contribution to the remediation of any sites may be limited by the number of other companies potentially liable for site remediation. As a result, estimated liability would reflect only our expected share. In determining the probability of contribution, we would consider the solvency of other parties, the site activities of other parties, whether liability is being disputed, the terms of any existing agreements and experience with similar

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

matters, and the effect of AWI’s Chapter 11 reorganization upon the validity of any claim. Actual costs to be incurred at environmental sites may vary significantly from estimates.

Summary of Financial Position

There were no material liabilities recorded at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for potential environmental liabilities that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be made.

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Cases

In October 2010, a coalition of U.S. producers of multilayered wood flooring (not including AWI and its subsidiaries) filed petitions seeking antidumping duties (“AD”) and countervailing duties (“CVD”) with the United States Department of Commerce (“DOC”) and the United States International Trade Commission against imports of multilayered wood flooring from China. The AD and CVD petitions ultimately resulted in DOC issuing AD and CVD orders (the “Orders”) against multilayered wood flooring imported into the U.S. from China. These Orders and the associated additional duties they have imposed have been the subject of extensive litigation, both at DOC and in the U.S. courts.

We produce multilayered wood flooring domestically and import multilayered wood flooring from third party suppliers in China. Until October 2014, we also operated a plant in Kunshan, China (“Armstrong Kunshan”) that manufactured multilayered wood flooring for export to the U.S. As a result, we have been directly involved in the multilayered wood flooring-related litigation at DOC and in the U.S. courts. Our consistent view through the course of this matter has been, and remains, that our imports are neither dumped nor subsidized. In 2013, in the sole DOC investigation of AWI and its subsidiaries (as a mandatory respondent in connection with the first annual administrative review), Armstrong Kunshan received a final AD rate of 0.00% and a final CVD rate of 0.98%.

Litigation regarding this matter has continued in the U.S. courts. The most recent court decision, on July 6, 2015, upheld certain DOC calculations on remand. Armstrong Kunshan as well as other respondents have appealed the DOC’s original decision to apply an AD rate to AWI and its subsidiaries and other “separate rate” respondents in the original investigation (for which we received a final initial AD rate of 3.31%) to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

DOC also continues to conduct annual administrative reviews of the AD and CVD final duty rates under the Orders. In July 2015, DOC issued its final AD and CVD rates for the second administrative review, which applies to imports of multilayered wood flooring made between December 1, 2012 and November 30, 2013 (AD) and between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 (CVD). Armstrong Kunshan was not selected as a mandatory respondent for the second AD review and, therefore, was not subject to individual review, but AWI and its subsidiaries are subject to the rates applicable to importers that were not individually reviewed (the “separate rate” or “all other” respondents).

On July 7, 2015, the DOC issued a final “all others” CVD rate of 0.99% that also applies to Armstrong Kunshan as part of the second CVD administrative review. On July 9, 2015, DOC issued a final AD determination for the second administrative review. DOC imposed a 13.74% AD rate determined solely on the basis of the AD duty rate assigned to the only mandatory respondent that did not receive a de minimis rate. DOC assigned this rate to all separate rate respondents that were not individually investigated, including Armstrong Kunshan. AWI and its subsidiaries, Armstrong Kunshan, and other respondents have filed complaints against DOC challenging the rate in the U.S. Court of International Trade with a decision expected in 2016. If such rates are ultimately upheld after any court appeals are exhausted, the estimated additional liability to us for the relevant period is approximately $4.5 million, which is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses. We continue to accrue and make cash deposits for duties when we are the importer of record at the rates established by the DOC based on the second administrative review process.

DOC is currently conducting its third annual administrative review. Armstrong Kunshan was not selected as a mandatory respondent for the third AD review and therefore, is not subject to individual mandatory review. As part of these reviews, Armstrong Kunshan’s individual AD and CVD assessment rates may be changed and the revised rates applicable to participants that were not individually reviewed will apply to all multilayered wood flooring imports between December 1, 2013 and November 30, 2014 (AD) and between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 (CVD). The

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

DOC issued a preliminary AD rate of 13.34% and a preliminary CVD rate of 1.43% for the third administrative review. We do not anticipate final AD and CVD rates for the third administrative reviews until mid-2016. We are unable to predict the final AD and CVD rates for the pending reviews at this time, but plan to continue to defend our import practices and pursue our available legal rights and remedies, including litigation at DOC and in the U.S. courts. Armstrong Kunshan was not selected to be a respondent in the DOC fourth AD and CVD administrative reviews.

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.

While complete assurance cannot be given to the outcome of these proceedings, we do not believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Separation from AWI

On April 1, 2016, in connection with the completion of the Separation, we entered into several agreements with AWI that provide for the Separation and allocation between AFI and AWI of the assets, employees, liabilities and obligations of AWI and its subsidiaries attributable to periods prior to, at and after AFI’s Separation. These agreements also govern the relationship between AFI and AWI subsequent to the completion of the Separation.

These agreements include a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Trademark License Agreement, a Transition Trademark Agreement and a Campus Lease Agreement. AFI does not expect the period of transition covered by these agreements to extend beyond December 31, 2017.

Under the Transition Services Agreement AFI and AWI will provide various services to each other including information technology, accounts payable, payroll, and other financial functions and administrative services.

The Tax Matters Agreement generally governs AFI’s and AWI’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the separation and distribution with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings, and other matters regarding taxes for any tax period ending on or before the distribution date, as well as tax periods beginning after the distribution date. In addition, the tax matters agreement provides that AFI is liable for taxes incurred by AWI that may arise if AFI takes, or fails to take, certain actions that may result in the separation, the distribution or certain related transactions failing to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. AWI received an opinion from its tax counsel that the Separation qualified as a tax-free transaction for AWI and its shareholders.

The Employee Matters Agreement governs certain compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the current and former employees and non-employee directors of AFI and AWI. Pursuant to this agreement and in connection with the distribution, AWI will transfer assets and liabilities from the Shared Plans to AFI that relate to active AFI

Armstrong Flooring, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

employees and certain former AFI employees to mirror plans established by AFI. Based on the analyses provided by our actuaries, approximately $33 million and approximately $95 million of defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plan net liabilities under AWI’s plans as of April 1, 2016, respectively, will be transferred to mirror plans established by AFI. The approximately $33 million transfer of net pension benefit liabilities represents the underfunded status of the mirror pension plan to be established by AFI and is comprised of an approximately $383 million projected benefit obligation, partially offset by the fair value of approximately $350 million of pension assets.

Pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement, AWI will provide AFI with a perpetual, royalty-free license to use the “Armstrong” trade name and logo.

Pursuant to the Transition Trademark License agreement, AFI provided AWI with a five year royalty-free license to utilize the “Inspiring Great Spaces” tagline, logo and related color scheme.

Under the Campus Lease Agreement, AFI will lease certain portions of the AWI’s campus for use as AFI's corporate headquarters. The initial term of the campus lease agreement is for a period of five years from April 1, 2016. Minimum annual rent expense is expected to be approximately $5.6 million per year over the remaining life of the lease agreement, notwithstanding any renewals or additional charges.

Debt

On April 1, 2016, AFI entered into a $225 million asset-based revolving credit facility with a five-year maturity (“ABL Facility”).

Obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by qualifying accounts receivable, inventories, and select machinery and equipment of AFI’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The ABL Facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, which varies according to average excess credit availability and is currently 1.50%. We are required to pay a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, on the average daily unused amount of the ABL Facility, which varies according to utilization and is currently 0.25%. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility are subject to fees which will be due quarterly in arrears based on an adjusted base rate.

Concurrent with the closing of the ABL Facility, AFI borrowed $100.0 million and used $50.0 million of the proceeds to fund a cash distribution to AWI. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for basic operating liquidity.

2016 Equity Awards

On April 11, 2016, AFI granted annual equity compensation awards to eligible employees of the Company. See our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 14, 2016 for additional information about these awards.

Overview

Armstrong Flooring, Inc. is a leading global producer of flooring products for use primarily in the construction and renovation of residential, commercial and institutional buildings. We design, manufacture, source and sell resilient and wood flooring products in North America and the Pacific Rim, with over 90% of our sales in North America, based on the location where sales are made. As of March 31, 2016, we operated 17 manufacturing plants in three countries, including 14 plants located throughout the U.S. We operate through two segments: Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring.

Resilient Flooring

Our Resilient Flooring segment designs, manufactures, sources and sells a broad range of floor coverings primarily for homes and commercial and institutional buildings under various brands, including the Armstrong brand. Manufactured products in this segment include vinyl sheet, vinyl tile, and Luxury Vinyl Tile (“LVT”) flooring. In addition, our Resilient Flooring segment sources and sells laminate flooring products, vinyl tile products, LVT, vinyl sheet products, linoleum products, adhesives, and installation and maintenance materials and accessories. Resilient Flooring products are offered in a wide variety of types, designs, colors and installation options. We sell these products to independent wholesale flooring distributors, large home centers, retailers, contractors and to the manufactured homes industry, and secure specifications for these products through architects, designers and end users. When market conditions and available capacity warrant, we also provide product on an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) basis to other flooring companies.

Wood Flooring

Our Wood Flooring segment designs, manufactures, sources and sells wood flooring products for use in new residential construction and renovation, with some commercial applications in stores, restaurants and high-end offices, under the Armstrong and Bruce brands. Our product offering includes pre-finished solid and engineered wood floors in various wood species and related accessories. Virtually all of our Wood Flooring sales are in North America. Our Wood Flooring products are generally sold to independent wholesale flooring distributors, large home centers, retailers and flooring contractors, and specified by regional and national builders. When market conditions and available capacity warrant, we also provide product on an OEM basis to other flooring companies.

Recent Developments

Separation and Distribution

During the periods covered by this report, AFI was a subsidiary of AWI. On April 1, 2016, AWI, a Pennsylvania corporation separated AWI’s Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments from its Ceiling segment. The Separation was effected by allocating the assets and liabilities related primarily to the Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments to AFI and then distributing the common stock of AFI to AWI’s shareholders. The Separation and Distribution resulted in AWI and AFI becoming two independent, publicly traded companies, with AFI owning and operating the Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments and AWI continuing to own and operate a ceilings business. On the distribution date, each holder of AWI common stock received one share of AFI's common stock for every two shares of AWI's common stock held on the record date.

The Spin-off was completed pursuant to a separation and distribution agreement and several other agreements with AWI related to the Separation, including a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Trademark License Agreement, a Transition Trademark Agreement and a Campus Lease Agreement, each of which was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K on April 4, 2016. These agreements govern the relationship among AFI and AWI following the Separation and provide for the allocation of various assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. These agreements also include arrangements for transition services between AFI and AWI. For a discussion of each agreement, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Agreements with AWI” in our Information Statement.

Our Registration Statement on Form 10 was declared effective by the SEC on March 15, 2016 and our common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 4, 2016 under the symbol AFI.

We will incur costs as a result of becoming an independent, publicly traded company for transition services and from establishing or expanding the corporate support for our business, including information technology, human resources, treasury, tax, risk management, accounting and financial reporting, investor relations, governance, legal, procurement and other services. We believe our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund these corporate expenses.

Results of Operations

In the first quarter of 2016, net sales increased by $25.0 million or 9.6% and our operating loss increased by $1.2 million. The earnings contribution from strong sales volumes in both our Resilient Flooring and Wood Flooring segments during the three months ended March 31, 2016 in comparison with the same period in 2015 was more than offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses associated with being a stand alone entity.

Below is a summary of comparative results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change		Change		% Change Due to

In our Resilient Flooring segment, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased in comparison with the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to increased sales volumes and favorable mix, partially offset by lower prices and the effects of foreign currency. Higher sales volumes were primarily due to growth in our LVT products and growth with strategic customers in resilient tile products. Improvements in mix were primarily related to growth in our LVT products. The improvements in mix and volume were partially offset by lower prices, due to continued market price declines in LVT products and other targeted strategic pricing actions.

In our Wood Flooring segment, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 reflected higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower prices and unfavorable mix. Sales volume reflected inventory build up by strategic customers and the continued strength of the hardwood market, particularly engineered wood products, which continue to see increased penetration rates in the new construction and remodeling sectors. In addition, volumes were aided by pricing actions and recovery from engineered wood product production issues which began in the first quarter of 2015. Lower prices were primarily due to targeted pricing actions related to improvements in input costs versus the prior year quarter, while unfavorable mix was due to increased sales of lower priced engineered wood products.

Operating Loss

Operating income (loss) by reportable segment is shown in the table below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016			2015			Change
Resilient Flooring	$	(5.4	)	$	0.5		$	(5.9	)
Wood Flooring	0.8			(3.9		)	4.7
Total	$	(4.6	)	$	(3.4	)	$	(1.2	)

In our Resilient Flooring segment, operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased in comparison with the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to higher manufacturing costs of $4 million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $3 million, partially offset by the positive margin impact of higher net sales of $2 million. Higher manufacturing costs reflected continued ramp-up costs associated with our Lancaster, PA LVT plant, partially offset by favorable production costs at other plants.

In our Wood Flooring segment, operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased in comparison with the three months ended March 31, 2015. Lower input costs of $5 million, primarily driven by favorable lumber input costs versus the prior period, combined with the positive impact of higher net sales of $2 million were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $2 million.

Income tax expense: We recorded an income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2016 of $0.4 million compared to income tax expense of $0.7 million in the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower unbenefited foreign operating losses. The effective tax rate was 8.5% and (21.9)% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Discontinued operations: Pre-tax losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and were comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a deferred tax asset and non-cash income tax benefit of $43.4 million for the tax benefit of future pension deductions related to our discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the primary source of liquidity for AFI’s business is the cash flow provided by operations, which has been transferred to AWI to support its overall cash management strategy. Prior to the Separation, deemed transfers of cash to and from AWI’s cash management system have been reflected in Net AWI investment in the historical combined financial statements. Accordingly, we have no cash or cash equivalents on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. Our liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year with cash flow generally lower during the first and fourth quarters.

AFI does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future. Instead, AFI currently intends to reinvest any future available earnings and cash flow into the business. The payment of cash dividends, if

any, on our common stock will rest solely within the discretion of AFI’s Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon AFI’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, covenants associated with certain of AFI’s debt service obligations, industry practice, and other relevant factors as determined by the Board of Directors.

Combined Cash Flows

The table below shows our cash provided by (used for) operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.



(Dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2016		2015
Cash used for operating activities	(28.9	)	(34.9	)
Cash used for investing activities	(7.6	)	(10.7	)
Cash provided by financing activities	36.6		45.7

Cash used for operating activities

Operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 used $28.9 million and $34.9 million of cash, respectively. Cash was generated through earnings exclusive of non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization and deferred income taxes, but used for increased working capital. Changes in working capital year over year primarily reflected changes in inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as we used more cash in 2016 for the payment of accrued employee bonuses compared to 2015, and accounts receivable.

Cash used for investing activities

Net cash used for investing activities of $7.6 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively, was primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, purchases of property, plant and equipment included significant expenditures related to the expansion of our Lancaster, PA resilient flooring plant to include the manufacture of LVT.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $36.6 million and $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The cash changes discussed above related to operating and investing activities resulted in more cash deemed to be funded by AWI during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 2015, partially offset by $10.0 million used for payment of long-term debt and a non-cash foreign currency currency translation adjustment.

Debt

As of March 31, 2016, we had no outstanding long-term debt. As of December 31, 2015, outstanding long-term debt of $10.0 million consisted of a variable rate tax-exempt industrial development bond that financed the construction of a Wood Flooring plant in Somerset, Kentucky. During the first quarter of 2016, this bond was defeased by paying $10.1 million, including $0.1 million of accrued interest, to the trustee in anticipation of a planned redemption at the next interest payment date of April 1, 2016.

On April 1, 2016, AFI entered into a $225 million asset-based revolving credit facility with a five-year maturity (“ABL Facility”). in connection with the Separation.

the issuance of standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which varies according to average excess credit availability and is currently 1.50%. We are required to pay a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, on the average daily unused amount of the ABL Facility, which varies according to utilization and is currently 0.25%. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility are subject to fees which will be due quarterly in arrears based on an adjusted base rate.

No disclosures are required pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
