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 27, 2015 (“Form 10-K”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 27, 2015 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

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The update requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified entirely as non-current in the balance sheet. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amended guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update changes the presentation of debt issuance costs to a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. Early adoption is permitted, and the new guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods. We chose to adopt these provisions in Q1 2016, which impacted our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 27, 2015, by reducing Other current assets and Other assets by $0.5 and $1.7, respectively, and decreasing Long-term debt by $2.2 and impacted our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of November 28, 2014 by increasing Operating Activities - Other by $0.4 and decreasing Changes in operating assets and liabilities - Other assets by $0.4.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.


3.	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.

5.	FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our short-term investments, 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 $300.1 and $282.1 as of November 27, 2015 and February 27, 2015, 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 approximately $326 and $323 as of November 27, 2015 and February 27, 2015, 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.

Below is a roll-forward of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended November 27, 2015:



Roll-Forward of Fair Value Using Level 3 Inputs	Auction Rate Securities
Balance as of February 27, 2015	$	9.7
Unrealized loss on investments	(0.9		)
Other-than-temporary impairments	—
Currency translation adjustment	—
Balance as of November 27, 2015	$	8.8


6.	INVENTORIES



Inventories	November 27, 2015		February 27, 2015
Raw materials and work-in-process	$	83.7	$	96.9
Finished goods	116.7		90.4
	200.4		187.3
Revaluation to LIFO	19.3		21.1
	$	181.1	$	166.2

The portion of inventories determined by the LIFO method was $84.9 as of November 27, 2015 and $78.1 as of February 27, 2015.


7.	LONG-TERM DEBT

In Q3 2016, we borrowed $50.0 at a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.20%. The loan is secured by our existing aircraft and the assignment of the purchase agreement for a new aircraft to be delivered in 2017. The loan contains no financial covenants. The loan requires interest-only payments until delivery of the aircraft. After delivery of the aircraft, the loan has a term of seven years and requires fixed monthly principal payments of $0.2 plus interest with a $31.7 balloon payment due in 2024. We used a portion of the loan proceeds to pay off a $31.9 note payable.


8.	INCOME TAXES

In Q4 2015, we implemented changes in EMEA to align our tax structure with the management of our globally integrated business. Our U.S. parent company became the principal in a contract manufacturing model with our Steelcase European subsidiaries.

As of February 27, 2015, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our French net deferred tax assets due to the long history of large net operating losses in France, including losses generated in 2015 due to the fact that the contract manufacturing model was not fully implemented in 2015. Through Q3 2016, this new model generated taxable income for our French subsidiaries and allowed for partial utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards in France. It is possible that sufficient positive evidence, including, but not limited to, sustained profitability, may become available in 2016 to reach a conclusion that the remaining French valuation allowance, which totaled $54.2 as of November 27, 2015, could be reversed by the end of 2016. A change in judgment regarding our expected ability to realize net deferred tax assets would be accounted for as a discrete tax benefit in the period in which it occurs.

In 2016, we awarded 268,410 performance units ("PSUs") to our executive officers. Of the PSUs awarded, 134,205 units are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2016 through 2018, based on our total shareholder return relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition, and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount; therefore, the maximum number of shares that can be issued under this award is 268,410. These PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance period. We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of these PSUs on the date of grant. The model resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.15 per unit for these PSUs, compared to $23.25 and $15.50 per unit for PSUs granted in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair values were determined using the following assumptions:



	2016 Awards		2015 Awards		2014 Awards
Three-year risk-free interest rate (1)	0.8	%	0.7	%	0.3	%
Expected term	3 years		3 years		3 years
Estimated volatility (2)	29.4	%	42.2	%	44.7	%

_______________________________________


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


(2)	Represents the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock for the three-year period preceding the grant date.

The remaining 134,205 PSUs awarded during 2016 are earned after a three-year performance period, from 2016 through 2018, based on our three-year average return on invested capital, which is a performance condition, and, if earned, will be issued in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount; therefore, the maximum number of shares that can be issued under this award is 268,410. These units are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the performance periods based on the probability that the performance condition will be met. The expense recorded will be adjusted as the estimate of the total number of PSUs that will ultimately be earned changes. The weighted average grant date fair value of these PSUs was $18.68. The fair value is equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant.

For all PSUs awarded in 2016, dividend equivalents are calculated based on the actual number of shares earned at the end of the performance period equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the earned shares had they been held during the entire performance period as Class A Common Stock. At the end of the performance period, the dividend equivalents are paid in the form of cash or Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, these awards will be forfeited if the participant leaves the Company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as set forth in the Steelcase Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan ("Incentive Compensation Plan") and the applicable award agreements and as determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion.

The total PSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended November 27, 2015 and November 28, 2014 are as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
Performance Units	November 27, 2015		November 28, 2014		November 27, 2015		November 28, 2014
Expense	$	0.6	$	0.7	$	6.0	$	4.2
Tax benefit	0.3		0.2		2.2		1.5

As of November 27, 2015, there was $8.1 of remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended November 27, 2015, we awarded 668,962 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), of which 111,916 were awarded to our executive officers. These RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the units will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. Holders of RSUs receive cash dividends equal to the dividends we declare and pay on our Class A Common Stock, which are included in Dividends paid on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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 set forth in the Incentive Compensation Plan and the applicable award agreements and as determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion. 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 underlying shares on the date of grant.

The RSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended November 27, 2015 and November 28, 2014 are as follows:

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 should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2015. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures used are: (1) organic revenue growth (decline), which represents the change in revenue excluding estimated currency translation effects and the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, and (2) adjusted operating income (loss), which represents operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs (benefits). These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

Financial Summary

Our reportable segments consist of the Americas segment, the EMEA segment and the Other category. Unallocated corporate expenses are reported as Corporate.

Overview

In Q3 2016, we experienced organic revenue growth in the Americas and the Other category, partially offset by organic revenue decline in EMEA. The Americas and Asia Pacific posted improved operating performance while EMEA experienced continued disruption costs and inefficiencies associated with the manufacturing footprint changes and other manufacturing and distribution issues. Restructuring costs declined significantly compared to the prior year and were associated with our EMEA manufacturing footprint changes, which are nearing completion.

Q3 2016 Compared to Q3 2015

We recorded net income of $35.6 in Q3 2016 and $11.8 in Q3 2015. The increase was driven by lower restructuring costs in EMEA in the current year and operating improvements in the Americas and Asia Pacific, partially offset by an increased adjusted operating loss in EMEA and the impact of a higher effective tax rate due to discrete tax credits recorded in Q3 2015.

Revenue was $787.6 in Q3 2016 compared to $800.0 in Q3 2015. The change was driven by a 21% decline in EMEA, partially offset by 4% growth in the Americas and the Other category. The revenue comparison in EMEA reflected $22.0 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a reduction in project business. The growth in the Americas was driven by increased volume, and approximately 1% of the growth rate was attributable to improved

Table of Contents

pricing. Organic revenue growth was $11.3 or 1% compared to the prior year, with growth of 3% in the Americas, and 9% in the Other category, partially offset by an 8% decline in EMEA.

Operating income was $55.2 or 7.0% of sales in Q3 2016 compared to $18.7 or 2.3% of sales in the prior year. The increase was driven by a $34.4 reduction in restructuring costs and strong operating performance in the Americas and Asia Pacific, partially offset by an increased adjusted operating loss in EMEA. Adjusted operating income increased by $2.1 or 3.7% to $58.2 in Q3 2016 compared to the prior year, and the Q3 2016 adjusted operating income margin of 7.4% represented a 40 basis point improvement compared to Q3 2015.

Cost of sales was 67.5% of revenue in Q3 2016, which represented a 110 basis point decrease compared to Q3 2015. The improvement was primarily driven by a 100 basis point reduction in the Americas due to lower material and freight costs and improvements in negotiated pricing, partially offset by a 220 basis point increase in EMEA driven by manufacturing and distribution issues and lower absorption of fixed costs.

Operating expenses in Q3 2016 of $197.8 represented an increase of $2.9 compared to Q3 2015. Costs in the current quarter included higher variable compensation costs of $3, additional expenses of $2 related to acquisitions, net of divestitures and increased rent expense and severance charges in EMEA, partially offset by approximately $6 of favorable currency translation effects. As a percent of revenue, operating expenses increased 70 basis points compared to the prior year to 25.1%.

We recorded net restructuring costs of $3.0 in Q3 2016 primarily related to actions in EMEA, including costs associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in Durlangen, Germany, and severance provisions related to the relocation of activities to the new Learning + Innovation Center in Munich, Germany. Restructuring costs of $37.4 in Q3 2015 were primarily associated with the transfer of the assets and activities of a manufacturing facility in Wisches, France, to a third party, which included a $27.3 facilitation payment, and costs related to the closure of the Durlangen facility. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our Q3 2016 effective tax rate was 34.9% compared to the Q3 2015 effective tax rate of 29.8%. The Q3 2016 rate was impacted by the implementation of a new transfer pricing model in EMEA in Q4 2015. Our U.S. parent company became the principal in a contract manufacturing model with our Steelcase European subsidiaries. This new model generated taxable income for our Steelcase European subsidiaries in Q3 2016 and allowed for partial utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in Europe which reflected valuation allowances. The Q3 2015 rate was below the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to discrete tax credits in the Czech Republic associated with the manufacturing footprint changes in EMEA. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Year-to-Date 2016 Compared to Year-to-Date 2015

We recorded year-to-date 2016 net income of $92.8 compared to year-to-date 2015 net income of $63.3. The increase was driven by lower restructuring costs in EMEA and operating improvements in the Americas, partially offset by costs associated with manufacturing and distribution issues in EMEA.

Year-to-date 2016 revenue increased $2.3 to $2,312.1 compared to year-to-date 2015. The change was driven by 4% growth in the Americas, partially offset by a 15% decline in EMEA. The growth in the Americas was driven by the same factors as the quarter. The revenue comparison in EMEA reflected $70.0 of unfavorable currency translation effects, higher volume and benefits from improved pricing. Organic revenue growth for year-to-date 2016 was $84.8 or 4%, with growth of 4% in the Americas, 2% in EMEA and 5% in the Other category.

Year-to-date 2016 operating income of $148.8 or 6.4% of revenue compared to $107.9 million or 4.7% of revenue in the prior year. The increase was driven by a $17.9 reduction in restructuring costs and strong operating performance in the Americas and the Asia Pacific, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue in EMEA. Year-to-date 2016 adjusted operating income increased by $23.0 or 16.2% to $165.0 compared to the prior year. The year-to-date 2016 adjusted operating income margin of 7.1% represented a 90 basis point improvement compared to year-to-date 2015.

Year-to-date 2016 cost of sales was 67.7%, a 110 basis point decrease compared to year-to-date 2015. The improvement was primarily driven by a 160 basis point improvement in the Americas driven by the same factors as the quarter, partially offset by a 300 basis point decline in EMEA driven by manufacturing and distribution issues and an unfavorable shift in business mix.

Year-to-date 2016 operating expenses of $582.6 increased $4.4 compared to the prior year but were consistent with the prior year as a percentage of sales. Higher variable compensation expense of $9, additional

expenses of $3 related to acquisitions, net of divestitures and other increases in operating expenses were offset by approximately $21 of favorable currency translation effects.

We recorded year-to-date 2016 net restructuring costs of $16.2 compared to net restructuring costs of $34.1 in year-to-date 2015. The year-to-date 2016 amount included costs primarily associated with the closure of the Durlangen facility, and severance provisions related to the relocation of activities to the Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. The year-to-date 2015 amount included costs in EMEA primarily related to the transfer of the assets and activities of the Wisches, France manufacturing facility to a third party, which included a $27.3 facilitation payment, and costs related to the closure of the Durlangen facility, partially offset by a gain related to the sale of an idle manufacturing facility in the Americas segment that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Our year-to-date 2016 effective tax rate was 35.9% compared to a year-to-date 2015 effective tax rate of 39.6%, which equated to a $5.4 improvement in net income in year-to-date 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by the implementation of a new transfer pricing model in EMEA in Q4 2015. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Operating results in the Americas for both Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 improved significantly compared to the prior year. The improvement was driven by revenue growth and lower cost of sales as a percentage of revenue. The year-to-date improvement was partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenue and a reduction in restructuring benefits compared to the prior year.

The Americas revenue represented 73.1% of consolidated revenue in Q3 2016. Revenue for Q3 2016 was $575.5 compared to $555.3 in Q3 2015 and reflected $4.6 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a $7.3 favorable impact of an acquisition. The revenue growth included higher volume and approximately 1% of the growth rate was attributable to improvements in negotiated pricing. The increase in revenue in Q3 2016 is categorized as follows:


•	Product categories — Five out of seven categories grew in Q3 2016, led by Furniture, Architectural Solutions and Turnstone. Coalesse and Health declined slightly compared to the prior year.


•	Vertical markets — Federal Government, Manufacturing and Energy experienced strong growth rates, while Information Technology declined year-over-year.


•	Geographic regions — The South and East Business Groups posted strong growth, while the West Business Group declined.


•	Contract type — Continuing business and project business grew, while marketing programs declined year-over-year.

Organic revenue growth was $17.5 or 3% compared to the prior year.

Year-to-date 2016 revenue of $1,710.7 increased $68.8 or 4% compared to year-to-date 2015 and reflected $13.7 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a $14.4 favorable impact of an acquisition. The year-to-date growth was driven by the same factors as the quarter. Year-to-date 2016 organic revenue growth was $68.1 or 4% compared to the prior year.

Cost of sales decreased 100 basis points to 64.7% of revenue in Q3 2016 compared to 65.7% of revenue in Q3 2015. The primary drivers of the decrease were lower material and freight costs and improvements in negotiated customer pricing, each of which had an impact of approximately 100 basis points, partially offset by other cost increases, including higher variable compensation. Year-to-date 2016 cost of sales decreased 160 basis points driven by the same factors as the quarter and included $5 of higher warranty costs compared to the prior year.

Operating expenses in Q3 2016 increased by $4.1 compared to the prior year to $128.0 primarily due to the impact of a small dealer acquisition in Q2 2016. Year-to-date 2016 operating expenses increased by $19.2, or 30 basis points as a percentage of revenue, compared to the prior year primarily due to $7 of higher variable compensation costs, $5 related to a small dealer acquisition and $4 of higher sales and marketing costs.

Restructuring costs of $0.7 in Q3 2016 and $0.1 in Q3 2015 were associated with the planned closure of a manufacturing facility in High Point, North Carolina. Year-to-date 2016 net restructuring benefits of $0.7 included a $2.8 gain related to the sale of our Corporate Development Center that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions, partially offset by costs associated with the planned closure of the High Point facility. Year-to-date 2015 net restructuring benefits of $10.8 were primarily driven by a gain related to the sale of an idle manufacturing facility that was closed as part of previously announced restructuring actions, partially offset by costs associated with the planned closure of the High Point facility.

Operating results in EMEA for Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 reflected a significant decrease in restructuring costs compared to the prior year. The Q3 2016 results included an organic revenue decline and an increase in cost of sales and operating expenses as a percent of revenue compared to the prior year. The year-to-date 2016 results included benefits associated with organic revenue growth of 2%, offset by an increase in cost of sales and operating expenses as a percent of revenue compared to the prior year.

EMEA revenue represented 17.3% of consolidated revenue in Q3 2016. Revenue for Q3 2016 was $136.2 compared to $171.5 in Q3 2015 and reflected lower volume, $22.0 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a $1.1 unfavorable impact from divestitures. Organic revenue decline was $12.2 or 8%, compared to a strong prior year, which was primarily driven by a number of project orders received in the first half of 2015 for which revenue was recognized in Q3 and Q4 2015. France and Germany posted organic revenue declines in Q3 2016. For year-to-date 2016, revenue reflected higher volume and minimal benefits from improved pricing, offset by $70.0 of unfavorable currency translation effects and a $3.2 unfavorable impact from divestitures, and organic revenue growth was $7.2 or 2%. Year-to-date 2016 organic revenue growth in Iberia and Germany was partially offset by organic decline in France.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased significantly in Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 compared to the prior year. Cost of sales in Q3 2016 reflected lower absorption of fixed costs associated with organic revenue decline in the quarter. During Q2 2016, we experienced manufacturing and distribution issues including power outages and equipment failures at our new facility in the Czech Republic and other startup related issues which resulted in incremental costs and labor inefficiencies. We incurred approximately $4 of costs relating to these issues in Q3 2016, including incremental dealer incentives and reimbursements, and approximately $6 of such costs in year-to-date 2016. Year-to-date 2016 also reflected an unfavorable shift in business mix which had an impact of approximately $4.

Cost of sales in Q3 2016 and Q3 2015 included $5 and $9, respectively, of disruption costs and inefficiencies associated with the manufacturing footprint changes initiated in prior years, and cost of sales in year-to-date 2016 and year-to-date 2015 included $17 and $21, respectively, of such disruption costs and inefficiencies. Disruption costs and inefficiencies include labor premiums paid to employees during transition periods and labor inefficiencies caused by work stoppages or slowdowns resulting from restructuring activities. They also include incremental logistics costs caused by split shipments (linked to labor inefficiencies) and interim supply chains during production moves. Lastly, these costs include duplicate labor and overhead at the new Czech Republic facility and other plants impacted by production moves. We believe these costs are temporary and will be eliminated once the manufacturing changes in EMEA are complete and the industrial model returns to normal levels of operating efficiency.

Operating expenses in Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 decreased by $1.6 and $14.9, respectively, compared to the prior year. The Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 operating expenses reflected favorable currency translation effects of $4 and $17, respectively. Operating expenses in local currency increased in both Q3 2016 and year-to-

Table of Contents

date 2016 primarily due to increased rent expense and severance charges. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased by 500 basis points and 80 basis points in Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016, respectively.

Restructuring costs of $2.3 and $16.9 in Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016, respectively, primarily consisted of costs associated with the closure of the Durlangen facility and severance provisions related to the relocation of activities to the Learning + Innovation Center in Munich. Restructuring costs of $37.3 and $44.9 in Q3 2015 and year-to-date 2015, respectively, were primarily associated with the transfer of the assets and activities of the Wisches facility to a third party, which included a $27.3 facilitation payment, and costs related to the closure of the Durlangen facility.

Revenue in the Other category represented 9.6% of consolidated revenue in Q3 2016. Operating results in the Other category for both Q3 2016 and year-to-date 2016 improved significantly compared to the prior year. Improved operating performance in Asia Pacific offset lower operating performance at PolyVision, while operating performance at Designtex was comparable to the prior year.

Asia Pacific recorded operating income in the current year compared to an operating loss in the prior year. The improvement was driven by increased volume, favorable currency effects, improved business mix and various cost reduction efforts.

Operating income at PolyVision declined compared to the prior year. Revenue growth driven by increased demand in the K-12 education market was more than offset by an increase in cost of sales as a percent of revenue and higher sales, research and development costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current business conditions, we target a minimum of $75 to $150 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments 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. In addition, we may carry additional liquidity for potential investments in strategic initiatives and as a cushion against economic volatility.

Short-term investments	115.4		68.3
Company-owned life insurance	162.9		159.5
Availability under credit facilities	150.5		154.7
Total liquidity	$	579.1	$	559.0

As of November 27, 2015, we held a total of $265.7 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The majority of our short-term investments are located in the U.S. Of our total $150.3 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 62% was located in the U.S. and the remaining 38% was located outside of the U.S., primarily in France, Mexico, Hong Kong and China. The amounts located outside the U.S. would be taxable if repatriated to the U.S., but we do not anticipate repatriating such amounts or needing them for operations in the U.S. Such amounts are considered available to repay intercompany debt, available to meet local working capital requirements or permanently reinvested in foreign subsidiaries.

The majority of our short-term investments are maintained in a managed investment portfolio, which primarily consists of corporate debt securities and U.S. agency debt securities.

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

Availability under credit facilities may be reduced by the use of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for purposes other than the repayment of debt as a result of constraints related to our maximum leverage ratio covenant. See Liquidity Facilities for more information.

A small dealer was acquired in the Americas segment in Q1 2016.

The higher purchases of short-term investments in year-to-date 2016 primarily relate to the increased cash provided by operations. Higher liquidations of short term investments in year-to-date 2015 primarily related to the funding of restructuring costs in EMEA.

We paid dividends of $0.1125 per common share during the first three quarters of 2016 and $0.105 per share during the first three quarters of 2015.

In Q3 2016, we made common stock repurchases of 124,655 shares, all of which were made to satisfy participants' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan. In year-to-date 2016, the majority of our common stock repurchases were made to satisfy participants' tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of performance unit and restricted stock unit awards. As of the end of Q3 2016, we had $60.1 of remaining availability under the $250 share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in Q4 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During Q3 2016, no material change in our off-balance sheet arrangements occurred.

Contractual Obligations

During Q3 2016, no material change in our contractual obligations occurred.

Liquidity Facilities

Our total liquidity facilities as of November 27, 2015 were:



Liquidity Facilities	November 27, 2015
Global committed bank facility	$	125.0
Other committed bank facilities	5.0
Various uncommitted lines	21.6
Total credit lines available	151.6
Less: Borrowings outstanding	(1.1		)
Available capacity	$	150.5

We have a $125 global committed five-year unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility which was entered into in 2013. The facility requires us to satisfy financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Additionally, the facility requires us to comply with certain other terms and conditions, including a restricted payment covenant which establishes a maximum level of dividends and/or other equity-related distributions or payments (such as share repurchases) we may make in any fiscal year. As of November 27, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility. We have $5.0 in other revolving credit facilities, from which we have drawn $1.1, which is included in short-term debt.

The various uncommitted lines may be changed or canceled by the banks at any time. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted facilities as of November 27, 2015. In addition, we have revolving credit agreements of $35.5 which can be utilized to support letters of credit, bank guarantees or foreign exchange contracts; letters of credit and bank guarantees of $22.0 were outstanding under such facilities as of November 27, 2015. There were no draws on our standby letters of credit during Q3 2016.

Total consolidated debt as of November 27, 2015 was $300.1. Our debt primarily consists of $248.1 in term notes due in 2021 with an effective interest rate of 6.6%. In addition, we have a term loan with a balance as of November 27, 2015 of $50. This term loan has a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.20% and is due in 2024. The term notes are unsecured, the term loan is secured by our existing aircraft and the assignment of the purchase agreement for a new aircraft to be delivered in 2017 and neither the term notes nor the term loan contain financial covenants.

Liquidity Outlook

Our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, funds available under our credit facilities, funds available from COLI and cash generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance our known or foreseeable liquidity needs. We believe the timing, strength and continuity of the economic

Table of Contents

recovery across certain geographies we serve remain uncertain which may continue to dampen our level of cash generation from operations. We continue to maintain a conservative approach to liquidity and maintain flexibility over significant uses of cash including our capital expenditures and discretionary operating expenses.

Our significant funding requirements include operating expenses, non-cancelable operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, variable compensation and retirement plan contributions, dividend payments and debt service obligations.

We currently expect capital expenditures to approximate $90 in 2016 compared to $98 in 2015. This estimate includes $26 of progress payments toward a new aircraft in 2016, while 2015 included $29 associated with a new manufacturing location in the Czech Republic. The balance of our capital expenditures relate to investments in manufacturing operations, product development, information technology and showrooms.

On December 21, 2015, we announced a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.1125 per share, or $14.0, to be paid in Q4 2016. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors and compliance with the restricted payment covenant of our credit facilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

During Q3 2016, there have been no changes in the items that we have identified as critical accounting estimates.
