SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Interface,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Interface, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them, unless the context requires otherwise.

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, as filed with the Commission.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The January 2, 2022, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

The nine-month periods ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 both include 39 weeks. The three-month periods ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 both include 13 weeks.

Risks and Uncertainties

Global economic challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, rising inflation and supply chain disruptions could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The Company considered these impacts and subsequent general uncertainties and volatility in the global economy on the assumptions and estimates used herein. The Company determined that except for the continued impacts to our global supply chain, production volume, raw material shortages, raw material cost increases, higher freight costs, shipping delays, gross profit margins, operating income, net income, cash flows, and order rates, there were no other material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at October 2, 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company permanently closed its operations in Russia, and we are currently in the process of liquidating our legal entity and branch office in the country. While our business activities in Russia and Ukraine were not material, we had approximately $3.0 million of total assets, including $2.6 million of cash, in Russia at October 2, 2022. The Company’s primary credit facility has various financial and other covenants including, but not limited to, a covenant to not exceed a maximum secured net debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit facility agreement. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility agreement and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. During fiscal year 2022, the Company has experienced significant cost inflation along with volatility in the Company stock price. Such circumstances, as well as a negative geopolitical climate in Europe, may warrant the need to write down the value of goodwill associated with our EMEA reporting unit if a future test indicates that its fair value is less than its carrying value.

The fair value of the EMEA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 20% at the most recent goodwill test date performed in the fourth quarter of 2021. The goodwill allocated to the EMEA reporting unit as of October 2, 2022 was $29.4 million. The amount of any potential future goodwill impairment charge is uncertain as the impairment test involves a significant amount of risk, uncertainty and judgment.

COVID-19 Impact

We continue to monitor our operations and have implemented various programs to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on our business. Our global supply chain and manufacturing operations continue to experience increased impacts of COVID-19 including raw material shortages, raw material cost increases, higher freight costs, and shipping delays. During the first nine months of 2022, new government imposed COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions in parts of China adversely impacted sales in that region.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” This ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU also requires certain disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard.
