Revenue grew 2 percent in the third quarter compared to the
prior year, with 5 percent growth in the Americas and a 6 percent
decline in International. On an organic basis, revenue grew 3
percent, with 7 percent growth in the Americas and an 8 percent
decline in International. The Americas growth benefited from a
higher percentage of the beginning backlog shipping during the
quarter compared to the prior year and included higher revenue from
government, large corporate, healthcare and education customers,
while the International decline was driven by most markets in Asia
Pacific, except India, and France.
Orders (adjusted for the impact of a divestiture and currency
translation effects) declined modestly in the third quarter
compared to the prior year, and included 2 percent growth in the
Americas and an 8 percent decline in International. The order
growth in the Americas was driven by government customers. Orders
from large corporate customers strengthened in the last month of
the quarter, but modestly declined overall in the third quarter
compared to the prior year. The order decline in International was
driven by most markets in Asia Pacific and France, net of growth in
Germany and some smaller markets in EMEA.
"Our Americas business posted 7% organic revenue growth this
quarter driven by growth across many of our customer segments, and
we delivered higher than expected adjusted earnings per share,"
said Sara Armbruster, president and CEO. "As we continue to focus
on serving our customers and supporting their workplace strategies,
we posted another quarter of order growth in the Americas, and we
are pleased with the improved trends we saw from our large
corporate customers near the end of the quarter and into
December."

Operating income of $41.0 million in the third quarter
represented a decrease of $2.8 million compared to the prior year.
The prior year included a $9.5 million benefit from a decrease in
the valuation of an acquisition earnout liability and $5.4 million
of gains on the sale of fixed assets, including land, in the
Americas. The current year included the benefits of higher revenue
and gross margin in the Americas compared to the prior year.
Adjusted operating income of $47.3 million in the third quarter
represented a decrease of $2.0 million compared to the prior
year.
"Our International results in the third quarter were below our
expectations and were impacted by demand and some customer-driven
shipment delays," said Dave Sylvester, senior vice president and
CFO. "We implemented additional restructuring actions and other
cost reduction measures during the third quarter, which together
are projected to drive approximately $5 million of annualized cost
savings by the start of fiscal 2026. Also, we are encouraged by
higher project activity levels from some of our global customers in
our international markets and recent wins related to large
opportunities with national accounts in France, Germany and the
Middle East."
Gross margin of 33.4 percent in the third quarter represented an
improvement of 100 basis points compared to the prior year driven
by the benefits of revenue growth in the Americas and cost
reduction initiatives, including savings from our previously
announced restructuring actions.
Operating expenses of $223.8 million in the third quarter
represented an increase of $17.3 million compared to the prior
year. The prior year included favorable impacts of a $9.5 million
decrease in the valuation of an acquisition earnout liability and
$5.4 million of gains on the sale of fixed assets, including land.
The remaining increase was driven by $6.0 million of higher
employee costs, partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease from a
divestiture.
Other expense, net of $12.6 million in the third quarter
included a $15.2 million non-cash charge related to the
annuitization of a pension plan.
Total liquidity, which is comprised of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments and the cash surrender value of
company-owned life insurance, aggregated to $576.6 million at the
end of the third quarter and represented an increase of $152.0
million compared to the prior year. Total debt was $446.9 million.
Trailing four quarter adjusted EBITDA of $283.6 million (or 9.0
percent of revenue) represented an increase of 9 percent compared
to the prior year.
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.10 per share, to be paid on or before January 13, 2025, to
shareholders of record as of December 30, 2024.
Outlook
At the end of the third quarter, the company’s backlog was
approximately $664 million, which was 5 percent lower than the
prior year. Orders in the first three weeks of the fourth quarter
grew 15 percent compared to the prior year and included a number of
large projects scheduled to ship beyond the end of the quarter. The
company expects fourth quarter fiscal 2025 revenue, which contains
an additional week compared to the prior year, to be in the range
of $770 to $795 million. The company reported revenue of $775.2
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The projected revenue
range translates to a decline of 1 percent to growth of 3 percent
compared to the prior year, or a decline of 4 to 7 percent on an
organic basis.
The company expects to report earnings per share of between
$0.17 to $0.21 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and adjusted
earnings per share of between $0.20 to $0.24. The company reported
earnings per share of $0.18 and adjusted earnings per share of
$0.23 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
The fourth quarter estimates include:
- gross margin of approximately 33.5 percent,
- projected operating expenses of between $230 to $235 million,
which includes $4.3 million of amortization of purchased intangible
assets,
- projected interest expense, net of investment income and other
income, net, of approximately $1 million and
- a projected effective tax rate of approximately 27
percent.
“As work and work patterns continue to change, we remain focused
on developing new solutions and evolving our capabilities to better
serve our customers and dealers,” said Sara Armbruster. "Our teams
have successfully driven higher levels of profitability all year
and we are pleased that our fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings per share
are projected to finish above our target."

Steelcase will discuss third quarter results and business
outlook on a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release 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 (decline), (2)
adjusted operating income (loss), (3) adjusted earnings per share
and (4) adjusted EBITDA. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation
G, the company has provided a reconciliation of each of the
non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure in the tables above. 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.
Organic Revenue Growth
(Decline)
The company defines 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. The company believes organic revenue growth (decline) is a
meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent
comparison of the company's revenue to prior periods as well as to
industry peers.
Adjusted Operating Income
(Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
The company defines adjusted
operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding
amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs
(benefits) and gains (losses) on the sale of land, net of variable
compensation impacts. The company defines adjusted earnings per
share as earnings per share excluding amortization of purchased
intangible assets, restructuring costs (benefits), gains (losses)
on the sale of land, net of variable compensation impacts, and
gains (losses) on pension plan settlements, and the related income
tax effects of these items.
Amortization of purchased intangible
assets: The company may record intangible assets (such as backlog,
dealer relationships, trademarks, know-how and designs and
proprietary technology) when it acquires companies. The company
allocates 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. The company
believes that adjusting for amortization of purchased intangible
assets provides a more consistent comparison of its operating
performance to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Restructuring costs (benefits):
Restructuring costs (benefits) may be recorded as the company's
business strategies change or in response to changing market trends
and economic conditions. The company believes that adjusting for
restructuring costs (benefits), which are primarily associated with
business exit and workforce reduction costs, provides a more
consistent comparison of its operating performance to prior periods
as well as to industry peers.
Gains (losses) on the sale of land,
net of variable compensation impacts: We may sell land when
conditions are favorable. Gains and losses on the sale of land may
increase or decrease, respectively, our variable compensation
expense. We believe adjusting for these items provides a more
consistent comparison of our operating performance to prior periods
as well as to industry peers. In Q2 2025, we began adjusting for
these items, as we realized a significant gain on the sale of land
during the quarter which had a significant impact on our variable
compensation expense, and we have adjusted the prior periods
presented for consistency and comparability.
Gains (losses) on pension plan
settlements: We realize gains or losses previously reported as
unrealized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
Other income (expense), net, in connection with pension plan
settlements when all risks related to the benefit obligations to
plan participants and plan assets are transferred. We believe
adjusting for the gains or losses on pension plan settlements
provides a more consistent comparison of our operating performance
to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Adjusted EBITDA
The company defines adjusted EBITDA
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") adjusted to exclude share-based compensation,
restructuring costs (benefits), gains (losses) on the sale of land,
net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension
plan settlements. The company believes adjusted EBITDA provides
investors with useful information regarding the operating
profitability of the company as well as a useful comparison to
other companies. EBITDA is a measurement commonly used in capital
markets to value companies and is used by the company's lenders and
rating agencies to evaluate its performance. The company adjusts
EBITDA for share-based compensation as it represents a significant
non-cash item which impacts its earnings. The company also adjusts
EBITDA for restructuring costs, gains (losses) on the sale of land,
net of variable compensation impacts, and gains (losses) on pension
plan settlements to provide a more consistent comparison of its
earnings to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Forward-looking Statements
From time to time, in written and oral statements, the company
discusses its expectations regarding future events and its 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 the company,
based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made
by, and information currently available to, the company.
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 the company believes 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 the company's 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 the company's most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Steelcase undertakes no
obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or
otherwise.
