NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. General

Unless this Form 10-Q indicates otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Mohawk,” or “the Company” as used in this Form 10-Q refer to Mohawk Industries, Inc.

Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Company’s description of critical accounting policies, included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company has already experienced certain disruptions to its business and further disruptions may occur that could materially affect the Company’s ability to obtain supplies, manufacture its products or deliver inventory in a timely manner. Future disruptions may result in lost revenue, additional costs or impairments to goodwill or other assets. The Company is currently implementing business continuity plans during the crisis and attempting to minimize the pandemic’s impact, but we may be unable to adequately respond to further outbreaks in particular geographies and our operations may be materially impacted. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the particular responses employed in various countries and regions. Accordingly, COVID-19 and the related global economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Hedges of Net Investments in Non-U.S. Operations

The Company has numerous investments outside the United States. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to changes and volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company uses foreign currency denominated debt to hedge its non-U.S. net investments against adverse movements in exchange rates. The gains and losses on the Company’s net investments in its non-U.S. operations are economically offset by losses and gains on its foreign currency borrowings. The Company designated its €500,000 2.00% Senior Notes borrowing as a net investment hedge of a portion of its European operations. For the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, the change in the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s euro denominated debt was an increase of $942 ($716 net of taxes) and a decrease of $3,578 ($2,718 net of taxes), respectively, which is recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss). The change in the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s debt partially offsets the euro-to-dollar translation of the Company’s net investment in its European operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issues ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was further amended by additional accounting standards updates issued by the FASB. The new standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses with a new methodology that requires recognition of lifetime expected credit losses when a financial asset is originated or purchased, even if the risk of loss is remote. The new methodology (referred to as the current expected credit losses model, or "CECL") applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition approach, with the cumulative impact being immaterial to the financial statements.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The amendments remove the second step of the current goodwill impairment test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This guidance is effective for impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The effect of adopting the new standard was not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Effective in Future Years

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which simplified the accounting for income taxes in several areas by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance applicable to accounting for income taxes. The amendment is effective commencing in 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this accounting standards update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

2019 Acquisitions

During 2019, the Company acquired two hard surface flooring distribution companies based in the Netherlands and Czech Republic for $76,237, resulted in allocations of goodwill of $38,366 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $12,789. The results have been included in the Flooring ROW segment and are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

2018 Acquisitions

On November 16, 2018, the Company completed its purchase of Eliane S/A Revestimentos Ceramicos (“Eliane”), one of the largest ceramic tile companies in Brazil. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company (i) acquired the entire issued share capital of Eliane and (ii) acquired $99,037 of net indebtedness of Eliane, with total cash consideration paid of $148,302. The Company’s acquisition of Eliane resulted in allocations of goodwill of $33,019, indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets of $32,238 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $5,818. The majority of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill include product, sales and manufacturing synergies. Eliane’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition in the Global Ceramic reporting segment.

On July 2, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Godfrey Hirst Group, the leading flooring company in Australia and New Zealand, further extending Mohawk’s global position. The total value of the acquisition was $400,894. The Company’s acquisition of Godfrey Hirst Group resulted in allocations of goodwill of $88,655, indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets of $58,671 and intangible assets subject to amortization of $43,635. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill include product, sales and manufacturing synergies. The Godfrey Hirst Group’s results have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition in the Flooring NA and Flooring ROW segments.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of three businesses in the Flooring ROW segment for $24,610, resulting in a goodwill allocation of $12,874 and intangibles subject to amortization of $7.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue recognition and accounts receivable

The Company recognizes revenues when it satisfies performance obligations as evidenced by the transfer of control of the promised goods to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The nature of the promised goods are ceramic, stone, carpet, resilient, laminate, wood and other flooring products. Payment is typically received 90 days or less from the invoice date. The Company adjusts the amounts of revenue for expected cash discounts, sales allowances, returns, and claims, based upon historical experience. The Company adjusts accounts receivable for doubtful account allowances based upon relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, periodic evaluation of specific customer accounts, and the aging of accounts receivable. If the Company expects the financial condition of the Company’s customers to deteriorate based on current conditions or reasonable and supportable forecasts, additional allowances may be required.

Contract liabilities

The Company historically records contract liabilities when it receives payment prior to fulfilling a performance obligation. Contract liabilities related to revenues are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidating balance sheets. The Company had contract liabilities of $35,932 and $34,959 as of June 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Performance obligations

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when the product is either shipped or received from the Company’s facilities and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, in any period, the Company does not recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 was immaterial.

Costs to obtain a contract

The Company historically incurs certain incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. These costs relate to marketing display structures and are capitalized when the amortization period is greater than one year, with the amount recorded in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized costs to obtain contracts were $62,196 and $69,039 as of June 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Amortization expense recognized during the six months ended June 27, 2020 related to these capitalized costs was $34,754.

Practical expedients and policy elections

The Company elected the following practical expedients and policy elections:

•Incremental costs of obtaining a contract is recorded as an expense when incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses if the amortization period is less than one year.

•Shipping and handling activities performed after control has been transferred is accounted for as a fulfillment cost in cost of sales.

⁽¹⁾The restructuring costs for 2020 and 2019 primarily relate to the Company’s actions taken to lower its cost structure and improve efficiencies of manufacturing and distribution operations as well as actions related to the Company’s recent acquisitions. The Company currently estimates that it will incur additional restructuring costs of approximately $70,000 primarily related to asset write-downs in its Flooring North America and Global Ceramic segments, which are expected to be substantially concluded in 2020.

The restructuring activity for the six months ended June 27, 2020 is as follows:

Costs included in inventory include raw materials, direct and indirect labor and employee benefits, depreciation, general manufacturing overhead and various other costs of manufacturing. Market, with respect to all inventories, is replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventories on hand are compared against anticipated future usage, which is a function of historical usage, anticipated future selling price, expected sales below cost, excessive quantities and an evaluation for obsolescence. Actual results could differ from assumptions used to value obsolete inventory, excessive inventory or inventory expected to be sold below cost.

Mohawk performs its annual testing of goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles in the fourth quarter of each year and no impairment was indicated for 2019. In 2019 the Company also concluded that in general, a decline in estimated after tax cash flows greater than approximately 19% to 39% or an increase of approximately 15% to 45% in WACC or a significant or prolonged decline in market capitalization could result in an additional indication of impairment.

As a result of the recent economic impact from COVID-19, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of whether the fair value of any of its reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets was more likely than not less than its carrying amount at March 28, 2020. The Company concluded neither goodwill nor any of its indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired at March 28, 2020. There were no factors or changes in circumstances to indicate a change to this assessment was required during the three months ended June 27, 2020. However, while we have concluded that neither goodwill nor any of its indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired during the quarter ended June 27, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could impact the Company’s assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets significantly enough to trigger an impairment. Hence, the Company continues to monitor the economic impact of COVID-19 and may be required to reassess impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in future interim periods.

10. Leases

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842, which requires recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments for existing operating leases. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption in line with the new transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11. ASC 842 provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight and elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting for leases. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with terms shorter than twelve months. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for a majority of its asset classes, including real estate and most equipment.

The Company measures the ROU assets and liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Minimum lease payments include the fixed lease and non-lease components of the agreement, as well as any variable rent payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date. The ROU assets are adjusted for any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received, in addition to payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease. The Company recognizes lease expense for leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the initial present value of lease payments. These discount rates for leases are calculated using the Company’s credit spread adjusted for current market factors and foreign currency rates. The Company also made a policy election to determine its incremental borrowing rate, at the initial application date, using the total lease term and the total minimum rental payments, as the Company believes this rate is more indicative of the implied financing cost.

The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. The Company has operating and finance leases for service centers, warehouses, showrooms, and machinery and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company enters into lease contracts ranging from 1 to 60 years with a majority of the Company’s lease terms ranging from 1 to 10 years.

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 3 to 10 years or more. The exercise of these lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. An insignificant number of our leases include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

Certain of our leases include rental payments that will adjust periodically for inflation or certain adjustments based on step increases. An insignificant number of our leases contain residual value guarantees and none of our agreements contain material restrictive covenants. Variable rent expenses consist primarily of maintenance, property taxes and charges based on usage.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties. Our sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases.

13. Income Taxes

For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company is now able to reasonably estimate its annual effective rate because it has six months of actual pre-tax income, therefore the Company has recorded taxes using this approach. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $26,363 on losses before income taxes of $74,951 for an effective tax rate of 35.2%, as compared to an income tax expense of $56,733 on earnings before income taxes of $259,387, for an effective tax rate of 21.9% for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $304 on earnings before income taxes of $62,181 for an effective tax rate of less than 1%, as compared to income tax expense of $93,751 on earnings before income taxes of $417,980, for an effective tax rate of 22.4% for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was caused by the geographical dispersion of profits and losses and the impact of COVID-19 in Q2 2020.

15. Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders and weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 27, 2020		June 29, 2019	June 27, 2020	June 29, 2019
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Mohawk Industries, Inc.	$	(48,257)	202,441	62,257	324,026



Weighted-average common shares outstanding-basic and diluted:

Add weighted-average dilutive potential common shares—options to purchase common shares and RSUs, net⁽¹⁾	—		278	183	280
Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted	71,186		72,680	71,547	72,250

Basic	$	(0.68)	2.80	0.87	4.50
Diluted	$	(0.68)	2.79	0.87	4.48

⁽¹⁾Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss, an incremental 167 of potentially dilutive securities were omitted from the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities was included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 27, 2020.

16. Segment reporting

The Company has three reporting segments: the Global Ceramic segment, the Flooring NA segment and the Flooring ROW segment. The Global Ceramic segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone, quartz, porcelain slab countertops and other products, which it distributes primarily in North America, Europe, South America and Russia through its network of regional distribution centers and Company-operated service centers using company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. The segment’s product lines are sold through Company-operated service centers, independent distributors, home center retailers, tile and flooring retailers and contractors. The Flooring NA segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets its floor covering product lines, including carpets, rugs, carpet pad, hardwood, laminate and resilient (includes sheet vinyl and LVT), which it distributes through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using company-operated trucks, common carrier or rail transportation. The segment’s product lines are sold through various selling channels, including independent floor covering retailers, distributors, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, shop at home, buying groups, commercial contractors and commercial end users. The Flooring ROW segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses and markets laminate, hardwood flooring, roofing elements, insulation boards, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”), chipboards, other wood products, sheet vinyl and LVT, which it distributes primarily in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Russia through various selling channels, which include retailers, independent distributors and home centers.

The accounting policies for each operating segment are consistent with the Company’s policies for the consolidated financial statements. Amounts disclosed for each segment are prior to any elimination or consolidation entries. Corporate general and administrative expenses attributable to each segment are estimated and allocated accordingly. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income.

Segment information is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

⁽¹⁾During the second quarter of 2020, the Company revised the methodology it uses to estimate and allocate corporate general and administrative expenses to its operating segments to better align usage of corporate resources allocated to the Company segments. The updated allocation methodology had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. This change was applied retrospectively, and segment operating income for all comparative periods has been updated to reflect this change.

17. Commitments and contingencies

The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Perfluorinated Compounds (“PFCs”) Litigation

In September 2016, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden, Alabama (the “Gadsden Water Board”) filed an individual complaint in the Circuit Court of Etowah County, Alabama against certain manufacturers, suppliers, and users of chemicals containing specific PFCs, including the Company. In May 2017, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre, Alabama (the “Centre Water Board”) filed a similar complaint in the Circuit Court of Cherokee County, Alabama. The Gadsden Water Board and the Centre Water Board both seek monetary damages and injunctive relief claiming that their water supplies contain excessive amounts of PFCs. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed dispositive motions in each case arguing that the Alabama state courts lack personal jurisdiction over them. These motions were denied. In June and September 2018, certain defendants, including the Company, petitioned the Alabama Supreme Court for Writs of Mandamus directing each lower court to enter an order granting the defendants’ dispositive motions on personal jurisdiction grounds. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the petitions on December 20, 2019. Certain defendants, including the Company, filed an Application for Rehearing with the Alabama Supreme Court asking the Court to reconsider its December 2019 decision. The Alabama Supreme Court denied the application for rehearing.

In December 2019, the City of Rome, Georgia (“Rome”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia that is similar to the Gadsden Water Board and Centre Water Board complaints, again seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief related to PFCs. Also in December 2019, Jarrod Johnson filed a putative class action in the Superior Court of Floyd County, Georgia purporting to represent all water subscribers with the Rome (Georgia) Water and Sewer Division and/or the Floyd County (Georgia) Water Department and seeking to recover, among other things, damages in the form of alleged increased rates and surcharges incurred by ratepayers for the costs associated with eliminating certain PFCs from their drinking water. In January 2020, defendant 3M Company removed the class action to federal court. The Company has filed motions to dismiss in both of these cases.

The Company denies all liability in these matters and intends to defend them vigorously.

Putative Securities Class Action

On January 3, 2020, the Company and certain of its executive officers were named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the "Securities Class Action"). The complaint alleges that defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making materially false and misleading statements and that the officers are control persons under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint is filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock between April 28, 2017 and July 25, 2019 (“Class Period”). On June 29, 2020, an amended complaint was filed in the Securities Class Action against Mohawk and its CEO Jeff Lorberbaum, based on the same claims and the same Class Period. The amended complaint alleges that the Company (1) engaged in fabricating revenues by attempting delivery to customers that were closed and recognizing these attempts as sales; (2) overproduced product to report higher operating margins and maintained significant inventory that was not salable; and (3) valued certain inventory improperly or improperly delivered inventory with knowledge that it was defective and customers would return it. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Government Subpoenas

On June 25, 2020, the Company received subpoenas issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on topics similar to those raised by the amended complaint in the Securities Class Action (the “Government Subpoenas”). Following the receipt of the Government Subpoenas and the amended complaint in the Securities Class Action, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), began an internal investigation into the matter. As of August 4, 2020, the Audit Committee, assisted by outside legal counsel and forensic accountants, has substantially completed its investigation. The Company has been responsive to the ongoing subpoenas and other document requests and will continue to cooperate fully with the governmental inquiries.

Delaware State Court Action

The Company and certain of its present and former executive officers were named as defendants in a putative state securities class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware on January 30, 2020. The complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint is filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock in Mohawk Industries Retirement Plan 1 and Mohawk Industries Retirement Plan 2 between April 27, 2017 and July 25, 2019. On March 27, 2020, the Court granted a temporary stay of the litigation pending the earlier of either the close of fact discovery or the deadline to appeal the dismissal of the related Securities Class Action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The stay may be lifted according to the terms set forth in the Court’s Order to Stay Litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Derivative Action

The Company and certain of its executive officers and directors were named as defendants in a derivative action filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on May 18, 2020. The complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by causing the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements. The complaint is filed on behalf of the Company and seeks to remedy fiduciary duty breaches occurring from April 28, 2017 – July 25, 2019. On July 20, 2020, the Court granted a temporary stay of the litigation pending the earlier of either the Securities Class Action defendants filing an answer to the operative complaint or the deadline to appeal the dismissal of the Securities Class Action. The stay may be lifted according to the terms set forth in the Court’s Order to Stay Litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Belgian Tax Matter

Between 2012 and 2014, the Company received assessments from the Belgian tax authority for the calendar years 2005 through 2010 in the amounts of €46,135, €38,817, €39,635, €30,131, €35,567 and €43,117 respectively, including penalties, but excluding interest. The Belgian tax authority denied the Company’s formal protests against these assessments and the Company brought all six years before the Court of First Appeal in Bruges. The Court of First Appeal in Bruges ruled in favor of the Company on January 27, 2016, with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2009; and on June 13, 2018, the Court of First Appeal in Bruges ruled in favor of the Company with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2010. The Belgian tax authority has lodged its Notification of Appeal for all six years with the Ghent Court of Appeal. On September 17, 2019, the Company pled its case to the Ghent Court of Special (Tax) Appeals and on October 1, 2019, the Court ruled in favor of the Company, re-confirming the rulings of the Court of First Appeals in Bruges with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2009. On March 12, 2020, the Belgian tax authority filed another revised assessment for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009, with the Ghent Court.

In March 2019, the Company received assessments from the Belgian tax authority for tax years 2011 through 2017 in the amount of €40,617, €39,732, €11,358, €23,919, €30,610, €93,145 and €79,933 respectively, including penalties, but excluding interest. The Company intends to file formal protests based on these assessments in a timely manner. The assessments are largely based on the same facts underlying the positive rulings, which the Belgian tax authority may appeal.

In January 2020, the Belgian tax authority canceled the tax assessments for the years ending December 31, 2011 through 2017, inclusively. On March 10, 2020, a new notice of change was received for the year ending December 31, 2016 against which the Company has filed a protest on April 10, 2020. The new notice applies a new theory retroactively but does not yet quantify the amount of any proposed assessment.

The Company continues to disagree with the views of the Belgian tax authority on all matters referenced above and will persist in its vigorous defense. Nevertheless, on May 24, 2016, the tax collector representing the Belgian tax authorities imposed a lien on the Company’s properties in Wielsbeke (Ooigemstraat and Breestraat), Oostrozebeke (Ingelmunstersteenweg) and Desselgem (Waregemstraat) included in the Flooring ROW segment. The purpose of the lien is to provide security for payment should the Belgian tax authority prevail on its appeal. The lien does not interfere with the Company’s operations at these properties.

General

The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and we are unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, storage, treatment, recycling and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and finished product, and the cleanup of contamination associated therewith. Because of the nature of the Company’s business, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, costs relating to compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters and is currently engaged in environmental investigation, remediation and post-closure care programs at certain sites. The Company has provided accruals for such activities that it has determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the ultimate liability with respect to such activities will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

18. Debt

Senior Credit Facility

On October 18, 2019, the Company amended and restated its $1,800,000 senior credit facility, extending the maturity from March 26, 2022 to October 18, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility marginally reduced the commitment fee and modified certain negative covenants to provide the Company with additional flexibility, including flexibility to make acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. The restatement also renewed the Company’s option to extend the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility up to two times for an additional one-year period each.

At the Company’s election, revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 2, 3 or 6 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% (1.125% as of June 27, 2020), or (b) the higher of the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, or the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% (0.125% as of June 27, 2020). The Company also pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments of the lenders exceed utilization of the Senior Credit Facility ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum (0.11% as of June 27, 2020). The applicable margins and the commitment fee are determined based on whichever of the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or its senior unsecured debt rating (or if not available, corporate family rating) results in the lower applicable margins and commitment fee (with applicable margins and the commitment fee increasing as that ratio increases or those ratings decline, as applicable).

The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the Senior Credit Facility are unsecured.

The Senior Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company’s financial and business operations, including limitations on liens, subsidiary indebtedness, fundamental changes, asset dispositions, dividends and other similar restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company’s business. The limitations contain customary exceptions or, in certain cases, do not apply as long as the Company is in compliance with the financial ratio requirements and is not otherwise in default. The Senior Credit Facility originally required the Company to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00 and a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.00, each as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. However, on May 7, 2020 the Company amended the Senior Credit Facility to temporarily increase the minimum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio to 4.75 to 1.00 and to increase the amount of certain adjustments to Net Income that are permitted to calculate the ratio. The relief provided by the amendment will be in effect for the fiscal quarters ending on September 26, 2020 through (and including) the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021.

The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In 2019, the Company paid financing costs of $2,264 in connection with the amendment and restatement of its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with previously unamortized costs of $3,405 are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

As of June 27, 2020, amounts utilized under the Senior Credit Facility included zero borrowings and $22,787 of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments. The outstanding borrowings of $129,635 under the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper programs as of June 27, 2020 reduce the availability of the Senior Credit Facility. Including commercial paper borrowings, the Company has utilized $152,422 under the Senior Credit Facility resulting in a total of $1,647,578 available as of June 27, 2020.

Commercial Paper

On February 28, 2014 and July 31, 2015, the Company established programs for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the United States and Eurozone capital markets, respectively. Commercial paper issued under the U.S. and European programs will have maturities ranging up to 397 and 183 days, respectively. None of the commercial paper notes may be voluntarily prepaid or redeemed by the Company and all rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. To the extent that the Company issues European commercial paper notes through a subsidiary of the Company, the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

The Company uses its Senior Credit Facility as a liquidity backstop for its commercial paper programs. Accordingly, the total amount outstanding under all of the Company’s commercial paper programs may not exceed $1,800,000 (less any amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility) at any time.

The proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes will be available for general corporate purposes. As of June 27, 2020, there was $56,700 outstanding under the U.S. commercial paper program, and the euro equivalent of $72,935 under the European program. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the U.S. program were 0.41% and 30 days, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the European program were 0.27% and 7.9 days, respectively. The COVID-19 crisis has recently impacted the commercial paper markets, both in the US and Europe, resulting in volatility in relation to supply and pricing. As stated previously, the Company’s commercial paper programs are backstopped by the Senior Credit Facility, which allows the Company to mitigate market disruptions using direct borrowings from the Senior Credit Facility.

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

Overview

During the past two decades, the Company has grown significantly. Its current geographic breadth and diverse product offering are reflected in three reporting segments: Global Ceramic; Flooring North America (“Flooring NA”); and Flooring Rest of the World (“Flooring ROW”). The Global Ceramic Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets a broad line of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone tile and other products including natural stone, quartz and porcelain slab countertops, which it distributes primarily in North America, Europe, Brazil and Russia through various selling channels, which include company-owned stores, independent distributors and home centers. The Flooring NA Segment designs, manufactures, sources and markets its floor covering products, including broadloom carpet, carpet tile, rugs, carpet cushion, laminate and vinyl products, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and sheet vinyl, and wood flooring, all of which it distributes through its network of regional distribution centers and satellite warehouses using Company-operated trucks, common carriers or rail transportation. The Segment’s product lines are sold through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, home centers, mass merchandisers, department stores, shop at home, online retailers, buying groups, commercial contractors and commercial end users. The Flooring ROW Segment designs, manufactures, sources, licenses and markets laminate, vinyl products, including LVT and sheet vinyl, wood flooring, roofing panels, insulation boards, medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”) and chipboards, which it distributes primarily in Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand through various channels, including independent floor covering retailers, independent distributors, company-owned distributors, home centers, commercial contractors and commercial end users.

Mohawk is a significant supplier of every major flooring category with manufacturing operations in 18 nations and sales in more than 170 countries. Based on its annual sales, the Company believes it is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer. A majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States and Europe, which are also the Company’s primary markets. Additionally, the Company maintains significant operations in Russia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and other parts of the world. The Company is a leading provider of flooring for residential and commercial markets and has earned significant recognition for its innovation in design and performance as well as sustainability.

Due to its global footprint, Mohawk’s business is sensitive to macroeconomic events in the United States and abroad. The current environment has placed unprecedented demands on the Company's operations as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions to the Company's markets and facilities around the world. During the quarter all of the Company's businesses were dramatically impacted with most of its customers and facilities operating in a limited capacity or completely shut down at times during the period. While the near-term economic and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is improving, based on current visibility, the Company expects that it will continue to see decreased demand across a number of its markets. During the quarter, the Company initiated actions prompted by the evolving health crisis to enhance future performance including site closings, other facility and product rationalization actions and workforce reductions. We anticipate these global actions will deliver annual savings of approximately $110 to $120 million, with an estimated cost of approximately $170 million.

The Company believes it has the experience and resources necessary to capitalize on opportunities that will arise as employees return to work around the world and macroeconomic conditions improve. The Company also believes it is well positioned with a strong balance sheet and limited debt. The Company recently issued over $1 billion of long term bonds to strengthen its ability to strategically invest and better position Mohawk for the future. Finally, the Company is following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. For information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which provides retention related tax credits and certain tax deferrals for employers whose business has been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company utilized this relief as well as programs of other governments where the Company has significant operations.

For the three months ended June 27, 2020, net loss attributable to the Company was $48.3 million, or diluted (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) of $(0.68), compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $202.4 million, or diluted EPS of $2.79 for the three months ended June 29, 2019. Our operations and net earnings for the second quarter were unfavorably affected by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, although results improved throughout the quarter.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 27, 2020, net earnings attributable to the Company were $62.3 million, or diluted EPS of $0.87, compared to net earnings attributable to the Company of $324.0 million, or diluted EPS of $4.48 for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The Company's operations and net earnings for the period were unfavorably affected by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The change in EPS was primarily attributable to the unfavorable net impact of lower volumes, costs due to reducing production, the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix, and higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs that were offset by productivity gains, lower inflation, and lower startup costs.

For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company generated $763.5 million of cash from operating activities. As of June 27, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $737.7 million, of which $413.0 million was in the United States and $324.7 million was in foreign countries. On May 14, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of 3.625% senior notes due May 15, 2030, which the Company used to pay off its delayed draw term loan facility. On June 12, 2020, a subsidiary of the Company issued €500.0 of 1.750% senior notes due June 12, 2027, which the Company has used to strengthen its balance sheet in light of the COVID-19 crisis.

Income tax expense (benefit)

For the three months ended June 27, 2020, the Company is now able to reasonably estimate its annual effective rate because it has six months of actual pre-tax income, therefore the Company has recorded taxes using this approach. For the three months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $26.4 million on losses before income taxes of $75.0 million, for an effective tax rate of 35.2%, as compared to an income tax expense of $56.7 million on earnings before income taxes of $259.4 million, for an effective tax rate of 21.9% for the three months ended June 29, 2019. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was caused by the geographical dispersion of profits and losses and the impact of COVID-19 in Q2 2020.

Flooring ROW segment—Operating income was $105.3 million (9.7% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 27, 2020 reflecting a decrease of $83.8 million compared to operating income of $189.1 million (14.9% of segment net sales) for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to unfavorable net impact of lower volumes of approximately $47 million, higher restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs of approximately $23 million, the unfavorable net impact of price and product mix of approximately $20 million, costs due to reducing production of approximately $16 million, and approximately $13 million of costs associated with investments in new product development, sales personnel and marketing, partially offset by lower inflation of approximately $17 million, and productivity gains of approximately $16 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $21.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, reflecting an increase of $0.6 million compared to interest expense of $21.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings.

Other expense (income), net

Other expense, net was $6.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, reflecting an unfavorable change of $13.5 million compared to other income, net of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The change was primarily attributable to an impairment charge of $3.6 million related to the Company's net investment in a joint venture in Brazil and foreign exchange rates on transactions in the current year.

Income tax expense

For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $62.2 million for an effective tax rate of less than 1%, as compared to an income tax expense of $93.8 million on earnings before income taxes of $418.0 million, for an effective tax rate of 22.4% for the six months ended June 29, 2019. The difference in the effective tax rates for the comparative periods was caused by the geographical dispersion of profits and losses and the impact of COVID-19 in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company’s capital needs are met primarily through a combination of internally generated funds, commercial paper, bank credit lines, term and senior notes and credit terms from suppliers.

Management has and will continue to evaluate its liquidity needs and strategy regarding capital resources as the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. As discussed below, the Company recently issued $500.0 million of 3.625% senior notes, and a subsidiary of the Company issued €500.0 of 1.750% senior notes, with ten and seven-year terms, respectively. Due to reduced short-term demand, the Company has reduced production capacity and reduced headcount through furloughs and layoffs. Management believes these actions along with cash secured from increased borrowing will allow the Company to meet any needs stemming from short-term reductions in cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2020 was $763.5 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $566.3 million in the first six months of 2019. The increase of $197.2 million in 2020 was primarily attributable to changes in working capital partially offset by lower net earnings.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2020 was $210.5 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $353.9 million in the first six months of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to reduced capital expenditures of $84.8 million and a decrease in acquisition costs of $76.8 million. In an effort to manage liquidity during the COVID-19 crisis, management is reducing near-term capital expenditures and expects to reduce its spend for the remainder of 2020.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2020 was $63.0 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $205.4 million in the six months of 2019. The cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the Senior Notes of $735.3 million (net of repayments of $326.9 million), the net pay down on commercial paper of $408.8 million and share repurchases of $59.7 million. Additionally, on April 15, 2020, the Company borrowed $500.0 million on the Term Loan Facility, which was repaid on May 15, 2020.

As of June 27, 2020, the Company had cash of $737.7 million, of which $324.7 million was held outside the United States. The Company plans to permanently reinvest the cash held outside the United States. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure, working capital and debt servicing requirements over at least the next twelve months. The Company is continually evaluating its projected needs in light of the current crisis and the Company may conduct additional debt financings, subject to market conditions, to increase its liquidity and to take advantage of attractive financing opportunities.

On October 25, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of any purchases of common stock will be based on the Company’s liquidity, general business and market conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. The Company has purchased an aggregate of $442.9 million under the program through the first quarter of 2020 before deciding to put future purchases on hold until the economic environment improves.

The Company may continue, from time to time, to retire its outstanding debt through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amount involved may be material.

Senior Credit Facility

On October 18, 2019, the Company amended and restated its $1,800.0 million senior credit facility, extending the maturity from March 26, 2022 to October 18, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility marginally reduced the commitment fee and modified certain negative covenants to provide the Company with additional flexibility, including flexibility to make acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness. The restatement also renewed the Company’s option to extend the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility up to two times for an additional one-year period each.

Table of Contents

The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the Senior Credit Facility are unsecured.

The Senior Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, subject to customary grace periods.

In 2019, the Company paid financing costs of $2.3 million in connection with the amendment and restatement of its Senior Credit Facility. These costs were deferred and, along with previously unamortized costs of $3.4 million are being amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.

As of June 27, 2020, amounts utilized under the Senior Credit Facility included zero borrowings and $22.8 million of standby letters of credit related to various insurance contracts and foreign vendor commitments. The outstanding borrowings of $129.6 million under the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper programs as of June 27, 2020 reduce the availability of the Senior Credit Facility. Including commercial paper borrowings, the Company has utilized $152.4 million under the Senior Credit Facility resulting in a total of $1,647.6 million available as of June 27, 2020.

Commercial Paper

The Company uses its Senior Credit Facility as a liquidity backstop for its commercial paper programs. Accordingly, the total amount outstanding under all of the Company's commercial paper programs may not exceed $1,800.0 million (less any amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility) at any time.

Table of Contents

The proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes will be available for general corporate purposes. As of June 27, 2020, there was $56.7 million outstanding under the U.S. commercial paper program, and the euro equivalent of $72.9 million under the European program. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the U.S. program were 0.41% and 30 days, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity period for the European program were 0.27% and 7.9 days, respectively. The COVID-19 crisis has recently impacted the commercial paper markets, both in the US and Europe, resulting in volatility in relation to supply and pricing. As stated previously, the Company’s commercial paper programs are backstopped by the Senior Credit Facility, which allows the Company to mitigate market disruptions using direct borrowings from the Senior Credit Facility.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities utilized in the Company’s production processes. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 27, 2020.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

The Company is a calendar year-end company. With respect to its Global Ceramic segment, net sales and operating income are typically higher in the second quarter, followed by the third and first quarters and a weaker fourth quarter. The Flooring NA segment’s second quarter typically produces the highest net sales followed by moderate third and fourth quarters, and a weaker first quarter. However, for the operating income, the third quarter typically shows stronger earnings, followed by second and fourth quarters, and the first quarter shows weaker earnings. The Flooring ROW segment’s fourth quarter historically produces the highest net sales followed by moderate second and third quarters, and a weaker first quarter. However, for the operating income, generally, the second quarter shows the stronger earnings, followed by third and first quarters, and the fourth quarter shows weaker earnings.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain of the statements in this Form 10-Q, particularly those anticipating future performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies, and similar matters, and those that include the words “could,” “should,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and “estimates” or similar expressions constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For those statements, Mohawk claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will be accurate because they are based on many assumptions, which involve risks and uncertainties. The following important factors could cause future results to differ: changes in economic or industry conditions; competition; inflation and deflation in raw material prices and other input costs; inflation and deflation in consumer markets; energy costs and supply; timing and level of capital expenditures; timing and implementation of price increases for the Company’s products; impairment charges; ability to identify attractive acquisition targets; ability to successfully complete and integrate acquisitions; international operations; changes in foreign exchange rates; introduction of new products; rationalization of operations; tax, product and other claims; litigation; the risks and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and other risks identified in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 28, 2020.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 27, 2020, approximately 83% of the Company’s debt portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate debt and 17% was floating-rate debt. A 1.0 percentage point increase in the interest rate of the floating-rate debt would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s exposure to market risk as disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

Belgian Tax Matter

Between 2012 and 2014, the Company received assessments from the Belgian tax authority for the calendar years 2005 through 2010 in the amounts of €46.1 million, €38.8 million, €39.6 million, €30.1 million, €35.6 million and €43.1 million, respectively, including penalties, but excluding interest. The Belgian tax authority denied the Company’s formal protests against these assessments and the Company brought all six years before the Court of First Appeal in Bruges. The Court of First Appeal in Bruges ruled in favor of the Company on January 27, 2016, with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2009; and on June 13, 2018, the Court of First Appeal in Bruges ruled in favor of the Company with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2010. The Belgian tax authority has lodged its Notification of Appeal for all six years with the Ghent Court of Appeal. On September 17, 2019, the company pled its case to the Ghent Court of Special (Tax) Appeals and on October 1, 2019, the Court ruled in favor of the Company, re-confirming the rulings of the Court of First Appeals in Bruges with respect to the calendar years ending December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2009. On March 12, 2020, the Belgian tax authority filed another revised assessment for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009, with the Ghent Court.

In March 2019, the Company received assessments from the Belgian tax authority for tax years 2011 through 2017 in the amount of €40.6 million, €39.7 million, €11.4 million, €23.9 million, €30.6 million, €93.1 million and €79.9 million respectively, including penalties, but excluding interest. The Company intends to file formal protests based on these assessments in a timely manner. The assessments are largely based on the same facts underlying the positive rulings, which the Belgian tax authority may appeal.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On October 25, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million in shares of its common stock. Under the share repurchase plan, the Company may purchase common stock in open market transactions, block or privately negotiated transactions, and may from time to time purchase shares pursuant to trading plans in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 or 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or by any combination of such methods. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases are based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, credit availability, debt covenant restrictions, general business conditions, regulatory requirements, the market price of the Company’s stock and the availability of alternative investment opportunities. No time limit was set for completion of repurchases under the new authorization and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The new program replaces any previously authorized share repurchase programs. The Company purchased an aggregate of $442.9 million under the program through the first quarter of 2020 before deciding to put future purchases on hold until the economic environment improves.
