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 24, 2023 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 24, 2023 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.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective Q1 2024, we adopted 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.

We participate in a supplier finance program in Spain offered by a third-party financial institution. The program allows participating suppliers the ability to finance our payment obligations prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price set by the financial institution. We have extended payment terms with suppliers that have voluntarily chosen to participate in the program. As of August 25, 2023, the outstanding amount of program obligations, reported in Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $0.9. The amount settled through the program during the six months ended August 25, 2023 was $4.4.

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, long-term investments and contingent consideration are measured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $451.1 and $481.2 as of August 25, 2023 and February 24, 2023, 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 $393.0 and $405.9 as of August 25, 2023 and February 24, 2023, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We may 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 volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

In connection with the acquisition of Viccarbe Habitat, S.L in Q3 2022, up to an additional $14.1 (or €13.0) is payable to the sellers based upon the achievement of certain revenue and operating income targets over a three-year period ending in 2025. This amount was considered 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. At each subsequent reporting date, changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded to Operating expenses until the liability is settled.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 25, 2023 and February 24, 2023 are summarized below:

8.SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

We have a $250.0 global committed bank facility, which expires in 2025. At our option, and subject to certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate commitment under the facility by up to $125.0 by obtaining at least one commitment from one or more lenders. In Q1 2024, the credit facility was amended. As amended, interest on borrowings under the facility is based on the rate selected by us from the following options (with all capitalized terms having the meanings provided in the credit agreement, as amended):

•the Applicable Floating Rate Margin in effect plus the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Term SOFR Reference Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.10% or (iv) 0.75%;

•the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus (i) for borrowings in U.S. dollars, the Term SOFR Reference Rate plus 0.10%, or (ii) for borrowings in euros, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate; or

•the Applicable Term Benchmark/RFR Margin in effect plus the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus 0.10%.

In Q1 2024, we borrowed and repaid $67.2 under the facility to fund our operations and the balloon payment of $31.8 for a note payable that matured during the quarter. In Q2 2024, we borrowed and repaid $1.8 under the facility, and as of August 25, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

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 August 25, 2023, the following PSUs have been issued and remained outstanding:

•767,600 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2024 through 2026 (the "2024 PSUs"),

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

•448,300 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 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. The awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.

As of August 25, 2023, the 2024 PSUs, 2023 PSUs and 2022 PSUs were considered granted as follows:

•In Q1 2024, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2024 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2023 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2024.

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

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 $4.5, $3.5 and $2.3 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that remained outstanding as of August 25, 2023. The Monte Carlo simulation was computed using the following assumptions:


	2024 PSUs		2023 PSUs				2022 PSUs
	Tranche 1		Tranche 2		Tranche 1		Tranche 3		Tranche 2		Tranche 1
Risk-free interest rate (1)	3.7	%	4.0	%	2.6	%	4.7	%	2.3	%	0.3	%
Expected term	3 years		2 years		3 years		1 year		2 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	44.1	%	37.8	%	52.2	%	45.5	%	43.8	%	53.5	%

_______________________________________

(1)Based on the U.S. Government bond benchmark on the grant date.

(2)Represents the historical price volatility of our Class A Common Stock for the period prior to the grant date which is equivalent to the expected term of the tranche.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended August 25, 2023, we awarded 1,564,505 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse up to three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs are 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. For participants 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. Typically, these awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.

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 2035. 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 during the three and six months ended August 25, 2023 and August 26, 2022 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

11.ACQUISITIONS

HALCON

In Q2 2023, we acquired Halcon Furniture LLC ("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. An additional $2.0 is 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, $36.6 related to goodwill and $16.7 related to tangible assets. The tangible assets mainly consisted of property, plant and equipment of $30.6, working capital (primarily inventory of $12.8) 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 shipped throughout 2023. The purchase accounting for the HALCON acquisition was completed during the current year.

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 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 August 25, 2023:


Fiscal Year Ending in February	Amount
2024	$	2.5
2025	5.1
2026	5.0

12. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of the end of Q1 2024, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes as a result of changes in how we monitor business performance and allocate resources to support our top strategic priorities. During Q1 2024, we simplified our internal reporting to summarize the results of all brands by geography including utilization of previously unallocated Corporate expenses. This change is parallel to the organizational structure that is used by our Chief Executive Officer in the capacity as chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for making operating and investment decisions and assessing business performance.

The operating segments regularly reviewed by the CODM are (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and (3) Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific serves customers in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and other countries in Southeast Asia. We primarily review and evaluate revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) by these segments in our internal review processes and reporting. We also allocate resources among these segments primarily based on revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss). Total assets by segment include manufacturing and other assets associated with each segment.

For purposes of segment reporting externally, we have aggregated the EMEA and Asia Pacific operating segments as an International segment based upon their similarity in certain quantitative and qualitative characteristics as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. We evaluated the economic similarity of these operating segments including patterns and trends for revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) in addition to the similarity in the nature of products and services, types of customers, and production and distribution processes in these regions. We concluded that these operating segments met the criteria for aggregation consistent with the basic principles and objectives of segment reporting described in ASC 280. The change in our reportable segments did not result in a change to our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The Americas segment serves customers in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean Islands and Latin America with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture, architectural, textile and surface imaging products that are marketed to corporate, government, healthcare, education and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, AMQ, Coalesse, Designtex, HALCON, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.

The International segment serves customers in EMEA and Asia Pacific with a comprehensive portfolio of furniture and architectural products that are marketed to corporate, government, education and retail customers primarily through the Steelcase, Coalesse, Orangebox, Smith System and Viccarbe brands.

As required by ASC 280, all presented segment data reflects the reclassification of previously reported segment data. Revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss) for the three and six months ended August 25, 2023 and August 26, 2022 and total assets and goodwill as of August 25, 2023 and February 24, 2023 by segment are presented in the following tables which reflect the realigned segments:

13. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In Q4 2023, we implemented a series of restructuring actions, primarily related to the wind down of our customer aviation function in connection with our strategy to reinvent our go-to-market model and create new customer experiences. The restructuring actions included terminations of approximately 25 salaried employees in the Americas segment. We expect to incur approximately $4.4 of restructuring costs in the Americas segment related to these actions, consisting of cash severance payments and other separation-related benefits. We incurred $0.1 and $0.7 of restructuring costs in the Americas segment for these actions in Q2 2024 and Q1 2024, respectively. We also incurred $3.6 of workforce reductions and other separation-related benefits in the Americas segment for these actions in Q4 2023. We expect these actions to be completed by the end of 2024.

In Q1 2024, we announced a series of restructuring actions in response to continued decline in order volume, persisting inflationary pressures, and decreasing plant utilization. These actions involve the involuntary terminations of approximately 40 to 50 salaried roles in EMEA, the elimination of approximately 240 positions in Asia Pacific, and the involuntary terminations of approximately 30 employees in the Americas in connection with the closing of our regional distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia. We expect to incur restructuring costs of approximately $16 to $18 in the International segment and approximately $1 in the Americas segment related to these actions, consisting of cash severance payments and other separation-related benefits. We incurred restructuring costs of $7.8 in the International segment for these actions during Q2 2024. We incurred restructuring costs of $6.8 in the International segment and $0.6 in the Americas segment for these actions during Q1 2024. We expect these actions to be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

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 24, 2023. 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 operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used are (1) organic revenue growth (decline), (2) adjusted operating income (loss) 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.

Financial Summary

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment and the International segment. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Overview

In Q1 2024, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. Effective as of the end of Q1 2024, Designtex and previously unallocated Corporate expenses are included in the Americas segment, and the Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific operating segments are aggregated and reported as the International segment. All prior year results are reclassified so as to be directly comparable to these realigned segments.

In Q2 2024, our earnings improved significantly year over year primarily driven by higher pricing benefits from actions we implemented over the past two years in response to significant inflationary pressures. Those inflationary pressures continued to moderate during the quarter, and operational improvements, along with higher pricing benefits, resulted in a significantly higher gross margin compared to Q2 2023. Revenue in Q2 2024 decreased modestly compared to the prior year due to lower beginning backlog and lower orders, partially offset by faster order fulfillment patterns in the Americas. The improved operating results, as well as our efforts to reduce working capital,

strengthened our liquidity during the quarter. Orders (adjusted for the impact of an acquisition, divestitures and currency translation effects) declined by 7% in Q2 2024 compared to the prior year and declined 5% sequentially compared to Q1 2024, which is consistent with the seasonal decrease in the prior year. We recorded $7.9 of restructuring costs during Q2 2024 in connection with our previously announced actions.

Q2 2024 Compared to Q2 2023

We recorded net income of $27.5 and earnings per share of $0.23 in Q2 2024 compared to net income of $19.6 and earnings per share of $0.17 in the prior year. Operating income of $41.0 in Q2 2024 represented an improvement of $12.1 compared to operating income of $28.9 in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher pricing benefits, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume, higher operating expenses and higher restructuring costs. We reported adjusted operating income of $53.3 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.31 in Q2 2024 compared to adjusted operating income of $35.8 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.21 in the prior year.

Revenue of $854.6 in Q2 2024 represented a decrease of $8.7 or 1% compared to the prior year driven by a decline in International. Approximately $80 of higher pricing benefits and $5.0 of favorable currency translation effects were more than offset by approximately $95 related to lower volume. Revenue was flat in the Americas, while International revenue decreased by 6%. The organic revenue decline was 1% compared to the prior year, with 1% growth in the Americas but an 8% decline in International.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 420 basis points in Q2 2024 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $80 of higher pricing benefits, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume and $6.6 of higher variable compensation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 430 basis points in the Americas and by 380 basis points in International.

Operating expenses increased by $14.5 in Q2 2024, or 190 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in Q2 2024 included $14.6 of higher variable compensation expense, partially offset by $5.1 of gains primarily related to the sale of an aircraft and other aviation assets.

We recorded restructuring costs of $7.9 in Q2 2024, primarily related to the restructuring actions in International. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our Q2 2024 effective tax rate was approximately 25.7% compared to a Q2 2023 effective tax rate of 25.8%.

Year-to-date 2024 Compared to Year-to-date 2023

We recorded net income of $29.0 and earnings per share of $0.24 in year-to-date 2024 compared to net income of $8.2 and earnings per share of $0.07 in the prior year. Operating income of $48.3 in year-to-date 2024 represented an improvement of $32.0 compared to operating income of $16.3 in the prior year. The improvement was driven by higher pricing benefits, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume, higher operating expenses and higher restructuring costs. We reported adjusted operating income of $73.0 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.40 in year-to-date 2024 compared to adjusted operating income of $31.2 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.17 in the prior year.

Revenue of $1,606.5 in year-to-date 2024 represented an increase of $2.5 compared to the prior year, driven by growth in the Americas offset by a decline in International. Approximately $160 of the increase was related to higher pricing benefits, substantially offset by approximately $157 related to lower volume (net of the impact of an acquisition and divestitures). Revenue increased by 3% in the Americas, while revenue in International decreased by 8%. The organic revenue decline was 1% compared to the prior year, with 2% growth in the Americas but a 7% decline in International.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 480 basis points in year-to-date 2024 compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by approximately $160 of higher pricing benefits, partially offset by the impacts of lower volume and $11.3 of higher variable compensation expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue improved by 510 basis points in the Americas and by 300 basis points in International.

Operating expenses increased by $34.2 in year-to-date 2024, or 210 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Organic Revenue Growth (Decline)

We define organic revenue growth (decline) as revenue growth (decline) excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency translation effects. Organic revenue growth (decline) 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 (decline) 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 (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets and restructuring costs. We define adjusted earnings per share as earnings per share, on a diluted basis, 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, other growth initiatives and material committed cash requirements.


Liquidity Sources	August 25, 2023		February 24, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	153.6	$	90.4
Company-owned life insurance	160.9		157.3
Availability under credit facilities	275.9		269.7
Total liquidity sources available	$	590.4	$	517.4

As of August 25, 2023, we held a total of $153.6 in cash and cash equivalents. Of that total, 71% was located in the U.S., and 29% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in China (including Hong Kong), Mexico, India, the United Kingdom and Malaysia.

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.

As of August 25, 2023, our total liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the cash surrender value of COLI, aggregated to $314.5.

During Q2 2024, there were no significant changes in the items that we identified as our material committed cash requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2023.

This includes plans for capital expenditures which are expected to total approximately $70 to $80 in 2024 compared to $59.1 in 2023.

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; 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.
