Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1 –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 December 29, 2024, as filed with the Commission.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information prepared by the Company and 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 December 29, 2024, 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 September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both include 39 weeks. The three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 both include 13 weeks.

Risks and Uncertainties

Global economic challenges including but not limited to the impacts of government-imposed tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, inflation, supply chain disruptions, the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflicts in the Middle East, and slow market conditions in certain parts of the globe 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. These uncertainties could result in a future material adverse effect to the amounts reported within the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements if actual results differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements– Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06 - “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software (Topic 350-40)”. This ASU amends the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing reference to prescriptive and sequential software development stages used to evaluate capitalizable costs. The ASU requires entities to consider whether significant uncertainties associated with development activities have been resolved prior to capitalization of software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. The new guidance in ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement Reporting - Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation (Topic 220-40)”. This ASU requires public entities to provide additional footnote disclosures to disaggregate the cost and expense line items presented in the income statement into specific categories including (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; and (d) intangible asset amortization. The ASU also requires qualitative disclosure of other relevant expense categories not separately disclosed, the total amount of selling expenses, and the definition of selling expenses in annual reporting periods. The new guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This ASU requires public entities on an annual basis to disclose a rate reconciliation with explicit categories, as outlined in the ASU, and requires additional disclosures for reconciling items that meet certain quantitative thresholds. Other disclosures include disaggregation of income taxes paid, pre-tax income, and income tax expense. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company iscurrently assessing the updated guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 –EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.

The Company includes all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding for basic EPS as these awards are considered participating securities. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock and are considered participating securities. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards during the period in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Any unvested share-based awards considered non-participating securities (restricted share units and performance shares) are included in diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

(2) The Syndicated Credit Facility also includes a multicurrency revolving loan facility up to $300.0 million as discussed below.

Syndicated Credit Facility

The Company’s Syndicated Credit Facility (the “Facility”) provides to the Company U.S. denominated and multicurrency term loans and provides to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving credit facility. Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) based and alternative currency loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin over the applicable SOFR rate or alternative currency rate, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company calculates a commitment fee per annum on the unused portion of the Facility (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter), which is paid quarterly.

Fees for commercial letters of credit are computed as a percentage of the amount available to be drawn under such letters of credit. Fees for standby letters of credit are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin of the amount available to be drawn under such standby letters of credit, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

Under the Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly payments on the term loan borrowings, which are due on the last day of the calendar quarter.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Facility and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.

Senior Notes due 2028

The 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) bear an interest rate at 5.50% per annum and mature on December 1, 2028. Interest is paid semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, all of which also guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Facility.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.

NOTE 10 –SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines that an operating segment exists if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and (iii) has discrete financial information. Additionally, accounting standards require the utilization of a “management approach” to report the financial results of operating segments, which is based on information used by the CODM to assess performance and make operating and resource allocation decisions. The Company determined that it hastwo operating segments organized by geographical area – namely (a) Americas (“AMS”) and (b) Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). The AMS operating segment includes the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas.

Pursuant to the management approach discussed above, the Company’s CODM, our chief executive officer, evaluates performance at the AMS and EAAA operating segment levels and makes operating and resource allocation decisions based on segment adjusted operating income (“AOI”). The CODM uses AOI to evaluate segment operating results compared to expectations. AOI is also used by the CODM to develop variable compensation targets and make capital spend decisions. AOI excludes: nora purchase accounting amortization; restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net, and the impact of a cyber event. Intersegment revenues for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, were $28.6 million and $92.4 million, respectively, and intersegment revenues for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, were $19.1 million and $60.4 million, respectively. Intersegment revenues are eliminated from net sales presented below since these amounts are not included in the information provided to the CODM.

The Company has determined that it hastwo reportable segments – AMS and EAAA, as each operating segment meets the quantitative thresholds defined in the accounting guidance.

The following table outlines information by reportable segment including net sales, significant segment expenses, and AOI. The table also includes a reconciliation to income before taxes for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.

NOTE 12 –INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) and records any changes affecting the estimated AETR in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company recorded a total income tax provision of $18.1 million on pre-tax income of $109.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.5%, as compared to a total income tax provision of $21.0 million on pre-tax income of $86.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.4% during the nine months ended September 29, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 29, 2024, was primarily due to the remeasurement and adjustment of deferred taxes as discussed below and a favorable mix of geographic earnings.

In July 2025, Germany enacted tax legislation to gradually reduce the corporate income tax rate. The current income tax rate of 15% is set to decrease by 1% annually beginning in 2028 reaching 10% by 2032. As a result of this change to tax rates, deferred assets and liabilities were remeasured using the new rates applicable to the periods in which the underlying temporary differences are expected to reverse. The remeasurement of the Company’s German deferred tax positions and other deferred tax adjustments resulted in a favorable deferred income tax benefit of $10.4 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on our estimated annual effective tax rate in 2025. As we continue to analyze the impact of the OBBBA, we expect it to reduce our cash taxes owed in the current year.

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) published Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) or announced plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2025, we do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. We will continue to closely monitor ongoing developments and evaluate any potential impact on future periods.

In the first nine months of 2025, the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.3 million. As of September 28, 2025, the Company had accrued approximately $5.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s deferred tax asset as of September 28, 2025, reflects a reduction of $2.5 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.

Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including the progress of tax audits and the closing of statutes of limitations. While it is reasonably possible that some of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized within the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the recognition of such amounts will have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

NOTE 13 –ITEMS RECLASSIFIED FROM ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), before tax, to the consolidated condensed statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 are reflected in the tables below:

NOTE 14 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Some of these proceedings are summarized below.

PFAS Lawsuit

In April 2025, The Water Works Board of the City of Opelika, Alabama filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama, The Water Works of the City of Opelika, Alabama, v. 3M Company, et al., Case No. 43-CV-2025-900229.00, against Interface, Inc., our subsidiary InterfaceFLOR, LLC, and numerous other defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including Interface, manufactured, sold, used, and discharged per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have allegedly contaminated the plaintiff's water supply.

The case was removed by defendant 3M Company to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, Case No. 3:25-cv-411-ECM-CWB. Subsequently, a motion was filed to transfer the case to the Multi-District Litigation (MDL) concerning Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF) Products Liability Litigation, and the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama. On October 9, 2025, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a Transfer Order directing that the case be transferred to the District of South Carolina for inclusion in MDL No. 2873.

The nature of this litigation involves complex scientific, legal and factual issues. Interface believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims brought against it, and intends to defend vigorously against them.

Former CEO Lawsuit

See disclosure under the heading “Lawsuit by Former CEO in Connection with Termination” set forth in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

On October 2, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for 11 th Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Court's summary judgment in favor of the Company.

NOTE 15 –FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure estimated fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under applicable accounting standards are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

quoted prices for similar assets in active markets;

quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets;

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and

inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by observable data by correlation or other.

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, of certain financial instruments:

(1) Carrying values are presented gross, excluding the impact of unamortized debt issuance costs and including amounts presented as current liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

(2) Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the revolving loan borrowings under the Facility were $0.8 million and $1.1 million as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and are recorded as other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The carrying value of borrowings under the Facility approximates fair value as the Facility bears variable interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. The fair value of borrowings under the Facility is estimated using observable market rates.

(3) Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Notes, recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, were $2.3 million and $2.8 million as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Fair value of the Senior Notes is derived using quoted prices for similar instruments.

The fair value of Company-owned life insurance is measured on a readily determinable cash surrender value on a recurring basis. Assets associated with the Company’s nonqualified savings plans are held in a rabbi trust and consist of investments in mutual funds and insurance contracts. The fair value of the mutual funds is derived from quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of the insurance contracts is based on observable inputs related to the performance measurement funds that shadow the deferral investment allocations made by participants in the nonqualified savings plans.
