NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2022 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 25, 2022 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in our Form 10-K.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Steelcase,” “we,” “our,” “Company” and similar references are to Steelcase Inc. and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements. We have assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50), which is intended to enhance transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring disclosure of key terms, amounts outstanding (including a rollforward of outstanding amounts) and a description of where such amounts are presented in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We expect the adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

4.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities represent restricted stock units in which the participants have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of certain performance units in which the participants have forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents during the performance period.

6.FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $516.0 and $482.5 as of November 25, 2022 and February 25, 2022, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was $451.9 and $516.7 as of November 25, 2022 and February 25, 2022, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of November 25, 2022 and February 25, 2022 are summarized below:

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance Units

We have issued performance units (“PSUs”) to certain employees which are earned over a three-year performance period based on performance conditions established annually by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of the applicable fiscal year. The PSUs are then modified based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition. When the performance conditions for a fiscal year are established, or if the performance conditions involve a qualitative assessment and such assessment has been made, one-third of the PSUs issued are considered granted. Therefore, each of the three fiscal years within the performance period is considered an individual tranche of the award (referred to as "Tranche 1," "Tranche 2" and "Tranche 3," respectively).

As of November 25, 2022, the following PSUs have been issued and remained outstanding:

•428,700 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2023 through 2025 (the "2023 PSUs"),

•448,300 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 PSUs") and

•529,500 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2021 through 2023 (the "2021 PSUs").

Once granted, the PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the remaining performance period. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the performance period, the PSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible.

As of November 25, 2022, the 2023 PSUs, 2022 PSUs and 2021 PSUs were considered granted as follows:

•In Q1 2023, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2023 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2022 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2021 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2023.

•In Q1 2022, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2022 PSUs and Tranche 2 of the 2021 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2022.

•In Q1 2021, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2021 PSUs. These performance conditions involved a qualitative assessment which was made by the Compensation Committee in Q4 2021. Accordingly, such tranche was considered granted in Q4 2021.

We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the market conditions on the respective grant dates, which resulted in a total fair value of $5.2, $4.8 and $2.3 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that remained outstanding as of November 25, 2022. The Monte Carlo simulation was computed using the following assumptions:


	FY23 Award		FY22 Award				FY21 Award
	Tranche 1		Tranche 2		Tranche 1		Tranche 3		Tranche 2		Tranche 1
Risk-free interest rate (1)	2.6	%	2.3	%	0.3	%	1.6	%	0.2	%	0.2	%
Expected term	3 years		2 years		3 years		1 year		2 years		2 years
Estimated volatility (2)	52.2	%	43.8	%	53.5	%	28.7	%	61.3	%	58.1	%

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended November 25, 2022, we awarded 1,222,849 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse one to three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the shares on the grant date. Generally, RSUs awarded are not forfeitable upon a qualifying retirement. For participants of those awards who are or become retirement-eligible during the service period, the RSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date that the participant becomes retirement-eligible.

The total RSU expense and associated tax benefit for the three and nine months ended November 25, 2022 and November 26, 2021 are as follows:

10. LEASES

We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, showrooms, manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles and equipment that expire at various dates through 2036. Certain lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours operated) and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion.

The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended November 25, 2022 and November 26, 2021 are as follows:

11.ACQUISITIONS

Viccarbe

In Q3 2022, we acquired Viccarbe Habitat, S.L. ("Viccarbe"), a Spanish designer of contemporary furniture for high-performance collaborative and social spaces. The transaction included the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of Viccarbe for $34.9 (or €30.0) in an all-cash transaction using cash on-hand. Up to an additional $13.5 (or €13.0) is payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain revenue and operating income targets over a three-year period. This amount was determined to be contingent consideration and was treated for accounting purposes as part of the total purchase price of the acquisition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which represents a Level 3 measurement. As a result, we recorded a related liability of $4.4 (or €4.2). An additional amount of $6.2 (or €6.0) is also payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain milestones and continued employment over a five-year period, which is being expensed over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Viccarbe were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis, and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $11.7 related to identifiable intangible assets, $25.8 related to goodwill and $5.1 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of working capital (primarily accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable) and property, plant and equipment. Additionally, we recorded a deferred tax liability in the amount of $2.9 associated with the tax basis difference in acquired book assets. The goodwill was recorded in the EMEA segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes in Spain. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of Viccarbe and our intentions to expand the manufacturing of Viccarbe products in geographic regions outside of EMEA and to offer Viccarbe products through our global distribution network. Intangible assets are principally related to the Viccarbe trade name, dealer relationships and internally developed know-how and designs, which are being amortized over periods ranging from 9 to 13 years from the date of acquisition. As of November 25, 2022, the purchase accounting for the Viccarbe acquisition was complete.

The following table summarizes the purchased identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:


Other Intangible Assets	Useful Life (Years)	Fair Value

Trademark	9.0	$	4.6
Dealer relationships	13.0	3.8
Know-how and designs	9.0	3.3
		$	11.7

The fair values of the purchased intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense for the next five years as of November 25, 2022:

Halcon

In Q2 2023, we acquired Halcon, a Minnesota-based designer and manufacturer of precision-tailored wood furniture for the workplace. The transaction included the purchase of all the outstanding membership interests of Halcon for $127.5 less customer deposits of $24.3, plus an adjustment of $1.9 for working capital. The acquisition was funded using a combination of cash on-hand and borrowings under our global committed bank facility. Up to an additional $7.5 is payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin targets over a six-month period. This amount was determined to be contingent consideration and was treated for accounting purposes as part of the total purchase price of the acquisition. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which represents a Level 3 measurement. Based upon the results of the calculation, we did not record a liability for the contingent consideration. An additional amount of $2.0 is also payable to a seller based upon continued employment over a three-year period, which is being expensed over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets and liabilities of Halcon were valued as of the acquisition date using a market analysis, and intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represents a Level 3 measurement. On the acquisition date, we recorded $51.8 related to identifiable intangible assets, $37.1 related to goodwill and $16.2 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of property, plant and equipment of $30.6, working capital (primarily inventory of $12.3) and customer deposits of $24.3. The goodwill was recorded in the Americas segment and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily related to the growth potential of Halcon expected to be driven by new product development, geographic expansion and the integration of Halcon products into our dealer network. Intangible assets are principally related to dealer relationships, the Halcon trade name and internally developed know-how and designs, which are being amortized over periods ranging from 9 to 10 years from the date of acquisition. We also acquired a backlog of orders which are expected to ship throughout the remainder of 2023. The purchase price allocation for the acquisition was incomplete as of November 25, 2022, as we are evaluating certain deferred tax balances. The amounts recognized related to the purchase price allocation will be finalized no later than one year after the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the purchased identified intangible assets and the respective fair value and useful life of each asset at the date of acquisition:


Other Intangible Assets	Useful Life (Years)	Fair Value

Dealer relationships	10.0	$	21.5
Trademark	9.0	14.0
Know-how and designs	9.0	12.0
Backlog	0.7	4.3
		$	51.8

The fair values of the purchased intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated future amortization expense for the next five years as of November 25, 2022:

13. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q4 2022, our Board of Directors approved restructuring actions related to the exit of our technology business in connection with our strategy to shift from offering a portfolio of technology products toward partnering with technology companies to create integrated collaborative solutions. The restructuring actions primarily included involuntary terminations of the majority of salaried employees of the business and the termination of supplier and customer contracts related to the business. We incurred $4.7 in restructuring costs in the Americas segment related to these actions, primarily consisting of cash severance payments and payment of other business exit costs. We recorded $1.8 related to employee termination costs and $2.4 related to business exit and other related costs during Q1 2023. In Q2 2023, we recorded a charge of $0.5 related to the impairment of a right-of-use operating lease asset which was utilized by our technology business. These restructuring actions are complete.

In Q3 2023, our Board of Directors approved restructuring actions to reduce operational spending across certain functions in response to a recent decline in order volume and lower-than-expected return-to-office trends in the Americas segment. The restructuring actions included terminations of approximately 130 salaried employees in the Americas segment and Corporate functions. In Q3 2023, we incurred $10.6 of restructuring costs related to these actions in the Americas segment, consisting of cash severance payments and other separation-related benefits. The costs incurred in Q3 2023 represent the total expected restructuring costs related to these actions, which are substantially complete.

The following table details the changes in the restructuring reserve balance for the nine months ended November 25, 2022:

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

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2022. Reference to a year relates to the fiscal year, ended in February of the year indicated, rather than the calendar year, unless indicated by a specific date. Additionally, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 reference the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, of the fiscal year indicated. All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, data presented as a percentage or as otherwise indicated.

This item contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth, (2) adjusted operating income and (3) adjusted earnings per share. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the tables below. These measures are supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a description of these measures and why management believes they are also useful to investors.

Overview

In Q3 2023, our revenue increased 12% compared to the prior year, driven by strong beginning order backlog and significant pricing benefits. We continued to experience significant inflation in commodities, fuel and logistics costs during the quarter, but gross margin improved compared to the prior year as our year-over-year pricing benefits have exceeded year-over-year inflation. Beginning in Q4 2023 and into the first half of 2024, we expect to have continued gross margin improvement from our pricing actions, as we aim to recover the cumulative impact of inflation incurred over the past two years.

Tabl e of Contents

Our orders declined by 17% in Q3 2023 compared to the prior year, with declines across all segments. Orders were impacted by softening industry demand patterns believed to be driven by reduced sentiment related to growing macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns. In response to these demand patterns, we have initiated actions to reduce our operational spending, including workforce reductions in the Americas in Q3 2023, and we intend to maintain our focus on controlled spending during Q4 2023. In addition, we recently announced actions to wind down our aviation department and sell our corporate aircraft.

Q3 2023 Compared to Q3 2022

We recorded net income of $11.4 and earnings per share of $0.10 in Q3 2023 compared to net income of $9.6 and earnings per share of $0.08 in the prior year. Operating income of $20.5 in Q3 2023 represented an increase of $4.6 compared to operating income of $15.9 in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher pricing benefits, net of inflation, and higher volume, which improved gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses and $10.6 of restructuring costs related to workforce reductions in the Americas. We reported adjusted operating income of $37.7 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 in Q3 2023, and we had adjusted operating income of $19.5 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.11 in the prior year.

Revenue of $826.9 in Q3 2023 represented an increase of $88.7 or 12% compared to the prior year. Approximately $85 of the increase was related to higher pricing benefits, and approximately $30 was related to higher volume (including acquisitions), partially offset by approximately $29 of unfavorable currency translation effects, primarily in EMEA. Revenue increased by 19% in the Americas and by 7% in the Other category, while EMEA revenue decreased by 6%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A are: (1) organic revenue growth, (2) adjusted operating income and (3) adjusted earnings per share.

Organic Revenue Growth

We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency translation effects. Organic revenue growth is calculated by adjusting prior year revenue to include revenues of acquired companies prior to the date of the company's acquisition, to exclude revenues of divested companies and to use current year average exchange rates in the calculation of foreign-denominated revenue. We believe organic revenue growth is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of our revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

We define adjusted operating income as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs. We define adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs, net of related income tax effects.

•Amortization of purchased intangible assets: We may record intangible assets (such as backlog, dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and proprietary technology) when we acquire companies. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value estimates for these intangible assets require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which include the useful lives of intangible assets. We believe that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers. As our business strategy in recent years has included an increased number of acquisitions, intangible asset amortization has become more significant.

•Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs may be recorded as our business strategies change or in response to changing market trends and economic conditions. We believe that adjusting for restructuring costs, which are primarily associated with business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents are used to fund day-to-day operations, including seasonal disbursements, particularly the annual payment of accrued variable compensation and retirement plan contributions in Q1 of each fiscal year. During normal business conditions, we target a range of $75 to $175 in cash and cash equivalents to fund operating requirements. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility, and from time to time, we may allow our cash and cash equivalents to temporarily fall below our targeted range to fund acquisitions and other growth initiatives.


Liquidity Sources	November 25, 2022		February 25, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	55.0	$	200.9

Company-owned life insurance	161.2		168.0
Availability under credit facilities	229.0		262.0
Total liquidity sources available	$	445.2	$	630.9

As of November 25, 2022, we held a total of $55.0 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, 17% was located in the U.S., and 83% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China (including Hong Kong), Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore and Canada.

COLI investments are recorded at their net cash surrender value. Our investments in COLI policies are intended to be utilized as a funding source for long-term benefit obligations. However, COLI can also be used as a source of liquidity. We believe the financial strength of the issuing insurance companies associated with our COLI policies is sufficient to meet their obligations.

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced related to compliance with applicable covenants. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

We have a $250.0 global committed bank facility in effect through 2025. As of November 25, 2022, there were $34.0 of borrowings outstanding under the facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

We have an $8.0 committed bank facility related to a subsidiary. As of November 25, 2022, total availability under the facility was limited to $6.7 based on eligible accounts receivable of the subsidiary and $3.6 was outstanding under the facility.

We have unsecured uncommitted short-term credit facilities available for working capital purposes with various financial institutions with a total U.S. dollar borrowing capacity of up to $3.8 and a total foreign currency borrowing capacity of up to $6.1 as of November 25, 2022. These credit facilities have no stated expiration date but may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. As of November 25, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

Total consolidated debt as of November 25, 2022 was $516.0. In addition to borrowings under our credit facilities, we have $445.4 in term notes due in 2029 with an effective interest rate of 5.6%, and a term loan with a balance of $32.8 as of November 25, 2022, which has a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.20% and is due in Q1 2024. The term notes are unsecured, and the term loan is secured by our two corporate aircraft. The term notes and the term loan contain no financial covenants and are not cross-defaulted to our other debt facilities.

Liquidity Outlook

As of November 25, 2022, our total liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the cash surrender value of COLI, aggregated to $216.2. Our liquidity position, funds available under our credit facilities and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs, including our material cash requirements.

During Q3 2023, there have been no significant changes in the items that we have identified as our material committed cash requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2022.

Tabl e of Contents

We also have other planned material usages of cash which we consider discretionary. This includes plans for capital expenditures which are expected to total approximately $50 to $60 in 2023 compared to $60.5 in 2022. In addition, we fund dividend payments declared by our Board of Directors. On December 19, 2022, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.10 per share, or approximately $11, to be paid in Q4 2023.

In year-to-date 2023, we implemented initiatives to reduce operational spending across certain functions, including workforce reductions in our Americas segment in Q3 2023 which are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $19, and we expect to maintain our focus on controlled spending during Q4 2023. In Q4 2023, we initiated actions to wind down our aviation department and sell our two corporate aircraft, and we expect to use the proceeds from the sale of the corporate aircraft to pay down our term loan which is due in Q1 2024. We expect approximately $11 in annualized savings as a result of these actions.

Our material cash requirements are subject to fluctuation based on business requirements, economic volatility or investments in strategic initiatives. We anticipate the cash expected to be generated from future operations and current cash and cash equivalents, funds available under our credit facilities and funds available from COLI will be sufficient to fulfill our existing material cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

During Q3 2023, there have been no changes in the items that we have identified as critical accounting estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2022.

Forward-looking Statements

From time to time, in written and oral statements, we discuss our expectations regarding future events and our plans and objectives for future operations. These forward-looking statements discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to us, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project," "target” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and vary from our expectations because of factors such as, but not limited to, competitive and general economic conditions domestically and internationally; acts of terrorism, war, governmental action, natural disasters, pandemics and other Force Majeure events; cyberattacks; the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by various governments and third parties to combat the pandemic; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in raw material, commodity and other input costs; currency fluctuations; changes in customer demand; and the other risks and contingencies detailed in this Report, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
