INTERFACE INC

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Interface is a global flooring company specializing in carpet tile and resilient flooring, including luxury vinyl tile (“LVT”), and nora® rubber flooring. The Company manufactures modular carpet focusing on the high quality, design-oriented sector of the market, sources resilient flooring including LVT from third parties and focuses on the same sector of the market, and provides specialized carpet replacement, installation and maintenance services. The Company also manufactures and sells resilient rubber flooring.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Sunday nearest December 31. All references herein to “2025,” “2024,” and “2023,” mean the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were each comprised of 52 weeks.

The Company has determined that it hastwo operating and reportable segments – namely Americas (“AMS”) which includes the United States, Canada and Latin America geographic areas, and Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia (collectively “EAAA”). See Note 19 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information.

Cybersecurity Event

On November 20, 2022, we discovered a cybersecurity attack, perpetrated by unauthorized third parties, affecting our IT systems (the “Cyber Event”). The investigation of the Cyber Event was completed during 2023. During 2024, we recovered $4.8 million in business interruption insurance proceeds, which are recognized as a benefit within other expense / income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2024, we also recovered $0.8 million from our cyber risk insurance, which are recorded as a reduction of selling, general, and administrative expenses. The insurance claim for the Cyber Event is now closed.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All of our subsidiaries are wholly-owned, and we are not a party to any joint venture, partnership or other variable interest entity that would potentially qualify for consolidation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Examples include provisions for returns, expected credit losses, product claims reserves, inventory obsolescence and the length of product life cycles, accruals associated with restructuring activities, income tax exposures and valuation allowances, and the remaining carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Actual results could vary from these estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

Global economic challenges, including government-imposed tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical factors including wars and other conflicts, 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, including the goodwill and intangible asset assessments discussed in Note 11 entitled “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” These uncertainties could result in a future material adverse effect to the Company’s financial statements if actual results differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized to depict the transfer of 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. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue Recognized from Contracts with Customers

Contracts with customers typically take the form of invoices for purchase of materials from the Company. Customer payment terms vary by region and are typically less than 60 days. The performance obligation is the delivery of these materials to the customer’s control. Revenue from the sale of modular carpet, resilient flooring, rubber flooring, and related products is the primary source of the Company’s total revenue. The revenue from sales of these products is recognized upon shipment, or in certain cases, upon delivery to the customer. The transaction price for these sales is readily identifiable. The remaining revenue is generated from the installation of carpet and other flooring-related material. See Note 3 entitled “Revenue Recognition” for additional information related to revenue disaggregation.

For installation projects underway, the Company recognized installation revenue over time based on a project cost input method as the customer simultaneously received and consumed the benefit of the services. The installation of the carpet and related products is a separate performance obligation from the sale of carpet. The majority of these projects are completed within five days of the start of installation. The transaction price for these sale and installation contracts is readily determinable between flooring material and installation services and typically is specifically identified in the contract with the customer.

The Company does not have any other significant revenue streams outside of these sales of flooring material, and the sale and installation of flooring material, as described above.

The Company does not record taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities within revenues. The Company records such taxes collected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets.

Performance Obligations

As noted above, the Company primarily generates revenue through the sale of flooring material to end users either upon shipment or upon arrival of the product at its destination. In these instances, there typically is no other obligation to the customers other than the delivery of flooring material, with the exception of warranty. The Company offers a warranty to its customers which guarantees certain on-floor performance characteristics and warrants against manufacturing defects. The warranty is not a service warranty, and there is no ability to separate the warranty obligation from the sale of the flooring or purchase it separately. This assurance-type warranty does not represent a separate performance obligation and the Company accounts for warranty claims on an accrual basis.

For the Company’s installation business, the sales of carpet and other flooring materials and installation services are separate deliverables which under the revenue recognition requirements should be characterized as separate performance obligations. The nature of the installation projects is such that the vast majority – an amount in excess of 85% of these installation projects – are completed in less than five days. On a project-by-project basis, the Company’s largest installation customers are retail, education and corporate customers. The Company has evaluated these projects at the end of each reporting period and recorded revenue in accordance with the accounting standards for projects which were underway as of the end of 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Costs to Obtain Contracts

The Company pays sales commissions to many of its sales personnel based upon their selling activity. These are direct costs associated with obtaining the contracts and are expensed as the revenue is recognized. These commissions become payable upon shipment (or in certain cases delivery) of product. There are no other material costs the Company incurs as part of obtaining the sales contract.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred are classified in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Advertising and Promotion

The Company’s advertising and promotional activities primarily consist of product samples, printed materials, digital marketing, trade shows, and customer events. Advertising and promotional costs are expensed when the advertising / promotional activity first takes place. Advertising and promotional expenses were $37.8 million, $39.2 million and $34.6 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Research and development expense includes costs associated with the development of new products as well as the improvement and enhancement of existing products. Research and development expense was $16.1 million, $15.1 million, and $17.0 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than three months and less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Significant concentrations of credit risk may arise from the Company’s cash maintained at various banks, as from time to time cash balances may exceed the FDIC limits. The Company didnot hold any significant amounts of cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest amounted to approximately $18.0 million, $22.8 million, and $28.8 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 16 entitled “Income Taxes” for income taxes paid information for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Allowances for Expected Credit Losses

The Company maintains allowances for expected credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. Estimating the amount of future expected losses requires the Company to consider historical losses from our customers, as well as current market conditions and future forecasts of our customers’ ability to make payments for goods and services. By its nature, such an estimate is subjective, and it is possible that the amount of accounts receivable that the Company is unable to collect may be different than the amount initially estimated.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (standards approximating the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Costs included in inventories are based on invoiced costs and/or production costs, as applicable. Included in production costs are material, direct labor and allocated overhead. The Company writes down inventories for the difference between the carrying value of the inventories and their estimated net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required.

Management estimates its reserves for inventory obsolescence by continuously examining its inventories to determine if there are indicators that carrying values exceed net realizable values. Experience has shown that significant indicators that could require the need for additional inventory write-downs are the age of the inventory, the length of its product life cycles, anticipated demand for the Company’s products, and current economic conditions. While management believes that adequate write-downs for inventory obsolescence have been made in the consolidated financial statements, consumer tastes and preferences may continue to change, and the Company could experience additional inventory write-downs in the future.

Leases

The Company records a right-of-use asset and lease liability for operating and finance leases once a contract that contains a lease is executed and the Company has the right to control the use of the leased asset. The right-of-use asset is measured as the present value of the lease obligation. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liability is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is based on the estimated rate for a fully collateralized borrowing that fully amortizes over a similar lease term at the commencement date and for the applicable geographical region.

The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. These leases primarily represent month-to-month operating leases for equipment where we were reasonably certain that we would not elect an option to extend the lease. The Company also made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes and accounts for the lease payments as a single component.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements –ten toforty years; equipment, furniture and fixtures –three totwelve years; and computer software –three tosix years. Certain manufacturing equipment in our Weinheim manufacturing facility have estimated useful lives up totwenty-five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the asset life or lease term, generally between three totwelve years. Interest costs for the construction/development of certain long-term assets are capitalized and amortized over the related assets’ estimated useful lives. Total depreciation expense amounted to approximately $34.4 million, $34.3 million, and $35.9 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually 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 the fourth quarters of 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company performed the annual goodwill impairment test. The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. In performing the impairment testing, the Company prepared valuations of reporting units on both a market comparable methodology and an income methodology, and those valuations were compared with the respective carrying values of the reporting units to determine whether any goodwill impairment existed.

In preparing the valuations, past, present and future expectations of performance were considered. See Note 11 entitled “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information.

Trademark and trade name intangible assets acquired in connection with the nora acquisition are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible assets below its carrying amount. For the annual tests performed in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company prepared valuations of the intangible assets using the present value of cash flows under the relief from royalty method, which requires management to estimate forecasted revenues and a discount rate. The estimated fair value of the trademark and trade name intangible assets was compared to the carrying value to determine whether any impairment existed. See Note 11 entitled “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information.

Product Warranties

The Company typically provides limited warranties with respect to certain attributes of its carpet products (for example, warranties regarding excessive surface wear, edge ravel and static electricity) for periods ranging fromten totwenty years, depending on the particular carpet product and the environment in which it is to be installed. Similar limited warranties are provided on certain attributes of its rubber and LVT products, typically for a period of 5 to 15 years. The Company typically warrants that services performed will be free from defects in workmanship for a period ofone year following completion. In the event of a breach of warranty, the remedy typically is limited to repair of the problem or replacement of the affected product.

The Company records a provision related to warranty costs based on historical experience and future expectations and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect changes in actual experience. Warranty and sales allowance reserves amounted to $3.9 million and $5.3 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company has elected to account for tax effects of the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) in the period when incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts for these provisions in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future. This requires us to use estimates and make assumptions regarding significant future events such as the taxability of entities operating in the various taxing jurisdictions.

For uncertain tax positions, the Company applies the provisions of relevant authoritative guidance, which requires application of a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. The Company’s ongoing assessments of the more likely than not outcomes of tax authority examinations and related tax positions require significant judgment and can increase or decrease the Company’s effective tax rate as well as impact operating results. For further information, see Note 16 entitled “Income Taxes.”

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity. Fair values of debt are based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates and classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 entitled “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further information.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at each year-end. Income and expense items are translated each month at average monthly exchange rates throughout the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment account. In the event of a divestiture or substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary, the related foreign currency translation results are reclassified from equity to income. Foreign exchange translation gains (losses) were $50.6 million, $(23.7) million, and $19.2 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the average number of common shares outstanding, including participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential increase in average common shares outstanding that would result from share-based awards or the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method. See Note 14 entitled “Earnings Per Share” for additional information.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has share-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 13 entitled “Shareholders' Equity.”

The Company recognizes expense related to its restricted stock, restricted share unit and performance share grants based on the grant date fair value of the shares awarded, as determined by its market price at date of grant.

Pension Benefits

Net pension expense recorded is based on, among other things, assumptions about the discount rate, estimated return on plan assets and salary increases. While the Company believes these assumptions are reasonable, changes in these and other factors and differences between actual and assumed changes in the present value of liabilities or assets of the Company’s plans above certain thresholds could cause net annual expense to increase or decrease materially from year to year. The actuarial assumptions used in the Company’s salary continuation plan and foreign defined benefit plans reporting are reviewed periodically and compared with external benchmarks to ensure that they appropriately account for our future pension benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on weighted average expected returns for each asset class. Expected returns reflect a combination of historical performance analysis and the forward-looking views of the financial markets, and include input from actuaries, investment service firms and investment managers.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements– Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively for the period ended December 28, 2025. See Note 16 entitled “Income Taxes” for additional information. The adoption of this ASU impacted our income tax disclosures but did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements– Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the FASB issued 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.

All other ASU’s issued but not adopted yet were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statement or disclosures.

NOTE 3 –REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company generates revenue from sales of modular carpet, resilient flooring, rubber flooring, and other flooring-related material, and from the installation of carpet and other flooring-related material. A summary of these revenue streams, as a percentage of net sales, for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Disaggregation of Revenue

For fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, revenue from the Company’s customers is broken down by geography as follows:

Revenue from the Company’s customers in the Americas corresponds to the AMS reportable segment, and the EAAA reportable segment includes revenue from the Europe and Asia-Pacific geographies. See Note 19 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information.

For fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, revenue by material market segment as a percentage of consolidated totals is as follows:

NOTE 4 – RECEIVABLES

The Company has adopted credit policies and standards intended to reduce the inherent risk associated with potential increases in its concentration of credit risk due to increasing trade receivables. Management believes that credit risks are further moderated by the diversity of its end customers and geographic sales areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires collateral as deemed necessary. The Company maintains allowances for expected credit losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in a change in their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. As of December 28, 2025, and December 29, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses amounted to $5.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for all accounts receivable of the Company.

NOTE 5 – 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 balance sheets.

(2) Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with term loan borrowings under the Syndicated Credit Facility were $0.2 million as of December 28, 2025, and recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Syndicated Credit Facility as of December 29, 2024, were not material.

(3) The Senior Notes were repaid on December 3, 2025, and the outstanding debt was extinguished. As of December 29, 2024, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Notes were $2.8 million and were recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Company-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value of Company-owned life insurance is measured on a readily determinable cash surrender value on a recurring basis. Company-owned life insurance is recorded at fair value within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of Company-owned life insurance are recognized in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Compensation Investments

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. These investments are recorded at fair value within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the investments associated with the nonqualified savings plans are recognized in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 18 entitled “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information on the Company’s nonqualified savings plans.

Syndicated Credit Facility and Senior Notes

The Company’s liabilities for borrowings under the Facility are not recorded at fair value in the consolidated 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. In the prior year, the Senior Notes obligation was not recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Senior Notes was derived in prior year using quoted prices for similar instruments. See Note 9, entitled “Long-Term Debt” for additional information.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Due to the short maturity of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, their carrying values approximate fair value. See Note 18 entitled “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information on defined benefit plan assets.

NOTE 6 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

Reserves for inventory obsolescence amounted to $35.5 million and $38.3 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and have been netted against amounts presented above.

NOTE 7 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

(1) Includes impact of finance lease assets. See Note 10 entitled “Leases” for additional information.

(2) Primarily represents manufacturing equipment not yet placed in service.

NOTE 8 – ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses are summarized as follows:

NOTE 9 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

(1) Represents the weighted average rate of interest for borrowings under the Syndicated Credit Facility and the stated rate of interest for the 5.50% Senior Notes without the effect of debt issuance costs.

(2) The Senior Notes were redeemed December 3, 2025. See below for additional information.

Syndicated Credit Facility

The Company’s Syndicated Facility Agreement (“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. Each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of the Company under its Facility. At December 28, 2025, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $243.2 million under the revolving loan facility.

Significant Credit Facility Amendment

On December 3, 2025, the Company entered into the third amended and restated Facility agreement. The amendment provided for, among other changes, the following:

•adding a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $170 million (“Term Loan”), which was fully drawn on December 3, 2025;

•extending the maturity date of the Facility to December 3, 2030;

•reducing the revolving credit facility from $300 million to $250 million;

•reducing the maximum unused facility commitment fee to 0.30%; and

•amending the interest rates applicable to Base Rate loans and Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans as discussed in more detail below in “Interest Rates and Fees”.

See the section below entitled “Debt Issuance and Extinguishment costs” for the accounting treatment of fees and charges incurred in connection with this amendment.

Interest Rates and Fees

Base rate loans, as defined in the amended Facility, represent short-term borrowings with applicable interest rates determined as the greater of the federal funds rate plus a margin, the prime rate, or SOFR plus a margin. Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on SOFR-based and alternative currency loans are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% 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 pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.

Fees for commercial letters of credit are computed as 1.00% per annum of the daily 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 ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% per annum 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.

Covenants

The Facility contains standard and customary covenants for agreements of this type, including various reporting, affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to:

•create or incur liens on assets;

•make acquisitions of or investments in businesses (in excess of certain specified amounts);

•engage in any material line of business substantially different from the Company’s current lines of business;

•incur indebtedness or contingent obligations;

•sell or dispose of assets (in excess of certain specified amounts);

•pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s stock (in excess of certain specified amounts);

•repay other indebtedness prior to maturity unless the Company meets certain conditions; and

•enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

The Facility also requires the Company to remain in compliance with the following financial covenants as of the end of each fiscal quarter, based on the Company’s consolidated results for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended:

•Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio: Must be no greater than 3.00:1.00.

•Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: Must be no less than 2.25:1.00.

Under the amended Facility, the Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments of the term loan borrowings, which will commence the first quarter of 2026. The amortization payments are due on the last day of the calendar quarter.

Events of Default

If the Company breaches or fails to perform any of the affirmative or negative covenants under the Facility, or if other specified events occur (such as a bankruptcy or similar event or a change of control of Interface, Inc. or certain subsidiaries, or if the Company breaches or fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any instrument relating to any of the Company’s other indebtedness exceeding $20 million), after giving effect to any applicable notice and right to cure provisions, an event of default will exist. If an event of default exists and is continuing, the lenders’ Administrative Agent may, and upon the written request of a specified percentage of the lender group shall:

•declare all commitments of the lenders under the facility terminated;

•declare all amounts outstanding or accrued thereunder immediately due and payable; and

•exercise other rights and remedies available to them under the agreement and applicable law.

Collateral

Pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Security and Pledge Agreement, the Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (subject to exceptions for certain immaterial subsidiaries), including all of the stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the stock of certain material foreign subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs under the Facility, the lenders’ Administrative Agent may, upon the request of a specified percentage of lenders, exercise remedies with respect to the collateral, including, in some instances, taking possession of or selling personal property assets, collecting accounts receivable, or exercising proxies to take control of the pledged stock of domestic and certain material foreign subsidiaries.

As of December 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.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Facility as of December 28, 2025, and anticipates that it will remain in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future.

Redemption of Senior Notes

On December 3, 2025, the Company redeemed all of its $300 million outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were redeemed using the proceeds from term loan borrowings under the amended Facility and cash on hand. The redemption price was 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. See below for amounts recognized upon extinguishment.

Debt Issuance and Extinguishment Costs

In connection with the December 3, 2025 Facility amendment and Senior Notes redemption, below is a summary of the fees and expenses incurred:

(1) Represents write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

(2) Revolving loan amounts pertain to the partial write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs due to lender changes in the Facility.

Debt issuance costs related to the revolving debt include underwriting fees, legal, and other direct costs associated with the issuance of debt. These unamortized amounts are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes these costs over the life of the related debt.

Debt issuance costs associated with term loans under the Facility and the prior Senior Notes are reflected as a reduction of long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These fees are amortized straight-line, which approximates the effective interest method, and over the life of the outstanding borrowing, the debt balance will increase by the same amount as the fees that are amortized.

Future Maturities

The aggregate maturities of borrowings outstanding at December 28, 2025 were as follows:

Total long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets includes a reduction for unamortized debt issuance costs, which are excluded from the maturities table above.

NOTE 10 – LEASES

General

The Company has operating and finance leases for manufacturing equipment, corporate offices, showrooms, vehicles, distribution facilities, design centers, as well as computer and office equipment. The Company’s leases have terms ranging from 1 to 20 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease term for up to 5 years, and certain leases may include an option to terminate the lease. Our lease accounting may include these options to extend or terminate a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

As of December 28, 2025, there were no significant leases that had not commenced.

The table below represents a summary of the balances recorded in the consolidated balance sheets related to the Company’s leases as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024:

Maturity Analysis

A maturity analysis of lease payments under non-cancellable leases is presented as follows:

NOTE 11 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company hastwo operating and reportable segments – namely AMS and EAAA. See Note 19 entitled “Segment Information” for additional information. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company’s reporting units consist of (1) the Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and (3) Asia-Pacific. The Americas reporting unit is the same as the AMS reportable segment, and the EMEA and Asia-Pacific reporting units are one level below the EAAA reportable segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, 2024, and 2023 we performed our annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing. We focused our testing on the Americas reporting unit because it is the only reporting unit with an allocated goodwill balance. The allocated goodwill balances for our EMEA and Asia-Pacific reporting units were written off in prior years as a result of goodwill impairment charges. The Company performed limited procedures for our EMEA and Asia-Pacific reporting units during the 2025, 2024, and 2023 goodwill testing to facilitate a reconciliation of market capitalization.

The annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing performed in 2025, 2024, and 2023 for our Americas reporting unit used a consistent methodology. The Company prepared valuations for the Americas reporting unit on both a market comparable methodology and an income methodology, utilizing a combination of the present value of expected future cash flows and the guideline public company method to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. In preparing the valuation, past, present and future expectations of performance were considered, including our expectations for the short-term and long-term impacts of macroeconomic conditions and our expected financial performance, including planned revenue and operating income for the Americas reporting unit. The present value model requires management to estimate future cash flows, the timing of these cash flows, and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital.

For 2025, 2024, and 2023 the fair value of the Americas reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value and is not at risk of failing the quantitative impairment test.

The ending balances and the changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each reportable segment for the years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, are as follows(1):

(1) Goodwill balances are presented net of cumulative impairment losses of $358.5 million as of December 28, 2025. The cumulative impairment losses include impairment charges recognized prior to 2020 related to discontinued operations that were allocated to the current reportable segments on a proportionate basis.

(2) A portion of the goodwill balance allocated to the AMS reportable segment is comprised of goodwill denominated in foreign currency attributable to the nora acquisition.

Other Intangible Assets

During the fourth quarter of 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment testing of the trademark and trade name intangible assets. The Company prepared valuations of the intangible assets using the present value of cash flows under the relief from royalty method, which requires management to estimate forecasted revenues and a discount rate. The intangible asset required rate of return used in the 2025, 2024, and 2023 annual impairment testing were 11.0%,11.5%,12.5%, respectively. Wedetermined that the estimated fair value of the trademark and trade name intangible assets exceeded the carrying value and that no impairment existed at the 2025, 2024, or 2023 measurement dates.

The Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill consisted of the following as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024:

(1) Certain intangible asset balances are subject to changes attributable to foreign currency translation.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets during the years 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $3.1 million, $5.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and is recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The developed technology intangible asset was amortized over its estimated useful life of 7 years and was fully amortized during fiscal year 2025.

NOTE 12 – PREFERRED STOCK

The Company is authorized to designate and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the rights and preferences of each series, to the extent permitted by the Articles of Incorporation, and to fix the terms of such preferred stock without any vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance of any series of preferred stock may have an adverse effect on the rights of holders of common stock and could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock. In addition, any issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. As of December 28, 2025, and December 29, 2024, there wereno shares of preferred stock issued.

NOTE 13 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 120 million shares of $0.10 par value Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol TILE.

The Company paid cash dividends during 2025 totaling $0.06 per share and $0.04 per share for 2024 and 2023, including participating securities. The future declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board, and depends upon, among other things, the Company’s investment policy and opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant at the time of the Board’s determination. Such other factors include limitations contained in the agreement for its Syndicated Credit Facility, which specify conditions as to when any dividend payments may be made. As such, the Company may discontinue its dividend payments in the future if its Board determines that a cessation of dividend payments is appropriate in light of the factors indicated above.

In May 2022, the Company adopted a new share repurchase program in which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program has no specific expiration date. During fiscal year 2025, the Company repurchased 750,166 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $24.23 per share pursuant to this program. No shares of common stock were repurchased pursuant to this program during 2024 or 2023. All treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method.

The following tables depict the activity in the accounts which make up shareholders’ equity for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company has a stock incentive plan under which a committee of independent directors is authorized to grant directors and key employees, including officers, restricted stock, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share units and performance shares.

In May 2024, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of an amendment and restatement of the Interface, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the Amended and Restated Plan on or after the effective date of the plan is the sum of 3,200,000 shares not previously authorized for issuance under any plan, plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the original Interface, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”) but not subject to outstanding awards under the Original Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan, plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to the outstanding awards under the Original Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan, including any shares that become available due to the forfeiture, termination or cancellation of such awards. No award may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended and Restated Plan.

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair market value of the award. That expense will be recognized over the period that the employee is required to provide the services – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) – in exchange for the award. For certain restricted stock and restricted share unit awards with a graded vesting schedule, the Company has elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Restricted Stock Awards

During fiscal year 2025, there were no new grants of restricted stock awards. Outstanding restricted stock at December 29, 2024, of 242,300 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $13.92 were fully vested as of December 28, 2025. During fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the Company granted restricted stock awards totaling 58,400 and 107,100 shares, respectively, of Common Stock. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during 2024 and 2023 was $16.22 and $7.10, respectively. These awards (or a portion thereof) vested with respect to each recipient over aone tothree-year period from the date of grant, provided the individual remained in the employment or service of the Company as of the vesting date. Additionally, certain awards (or a portion thereof) could vest earlier in the event of a change in control of the Company or upon involuntary termination without cause.

Compensation expense related to awards of restricted stock was $0.4 million, $2.3 million and $4.5 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These grants are made primarily to the board of directors and executive-level personnel at the Company, and as a result, no compensation costs have been capitalized. The Company has reduced its expense for any restricted stock forfeited during the period. The expense related to awards of restricted stock is captured in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 28, 2025, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense for restricted stock awards.

Restricted Share Unit Awards

During fiscal year 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company granted awards for 337,300,407,300, and 596,200 restricted share units to certain employees and directors pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plan. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted share units granted during 2025, 2024, and 2023, was $22.00, $13.38, and $10.36, respectively. Each restricted share unit representsone share of the Company’s common stock to be issued to the award recipient once the vesting criteria have been satisfied. Awards of restricted share units have a graded vesting schedule over aone tothree-year period from the date of grant, provided the individual remains in the employment or service of the Company as of each vesting date. Additionally, certain awards (or a portion thereof) could vest earlier in the event of a change in control of the Company, upon involuntary termination without cause, or upon retirement, provided certain eligibility criteria are met.

Compensation expense related to the restricted share units was $6.0 million, $3.5 million, and $1.9 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These grants are made primarily to executive-level personnel at the Company and, as a result, no compensation costs have been capitalized.

The Company has reduced its expense for any restricted share units forfeited during the period. The expense related to awards of restricted share units is captured primarily in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes restricted share units outstanding as of December 28, 2025, as well as activity during the year:

As of December 28, 2025, the unrecognized total compensation cost related to unvested restricted share units was $6.9 million. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years.

Performance Share Awards

In each of the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued awards of performance shares to certain employees. These awards vest based on the achievement of certain performance-based goals over a performance period ofthree years, subject to (among other things) the employee’s continued employment through the last date of the performance period and will be settled in shares of our common stock or in cash at the Company’s election. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the performance shares to the award recipients may be greater (up to 200%) or lesser than the nominal award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards. The expense related to these performance shares is captured in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving the performance-based goals as of the end of each reporting period and adjusts compensation expense based on this assessment.

The following table summarizes the performance shares outstanding as of December 28, 2025, as well as the activity during the year:

Compensation expense related to the performance shares for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $7.9 million, $7.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The Company has reduced its expense for any performance shares forfeited during the period. Unrecognized compensation expense related to these performance shares was approximately $7.9 million as of December 28, 2025. The amount and timing of future compensation expense will depend on the performance of the Company. The compensation expense related to these outstanding performance shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years.

The tax benefit recognized with respect to restricted stock, restricted share units and performance shares was $2.3 million, $1.7 million, and $0.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 14 – 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 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:

(1) Net income attributable to participating securities for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, was not material.

.

NOTE 15 – RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Thailand facility, in connection with a previous plan of restructuring, for a selling price of $6.6 million and recognized a gain of $2.7 million, which is recorded in restructuring, asset impairment, other (gains) and charges in the consolidated statements of operations and is attributable to the EAAA reportable segment.

The Company determined that the Thailand facility sale did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

NOTE 16 –INCOME TAXES

Income before income taxes consisted of the following:

Provisions for federal, foreign and state income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following components:

Income taxes paid (net of refunds) consisted of the following:

Income tax payments amounted to approximately $37.8 million and $25.8 million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the years 2024 and 2023, the Company received income tax refunds of $3.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

We adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis beginning with fiscal year 2025. The following table reconciles the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2025 in accordance with ASU 2023-09:

(1) State taxes in California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York comprise the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category.

The following table reconciles the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% to our effective income tax rate for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 based on the required disclosure prior to our adoption of ASU 2023-09:

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.

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. While the U.S. has not adopted Pillar Two, many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have enacted legislation to adopt Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. For fiscal year 2025, these provisions did not 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.

Deferred income taxes for the years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Management believes, based on the Company’s history of taxable income and expectations for the future, that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to fully utilize the material U.S. federal and foreign deferred tax assets at December 28, 2025. The Company recorded a valuation allowance on certain state net operating loss carryforwards that it does not believe are more likely than not to be utilized in the future.

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 fiscal year 2025.

As of December 28, 2025, the Company has approximately $2.1 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards with expiration dates through 2034. As of December 29, 2024, the Company had a full valuation allowance on all of its foreign tax credit carryforwards. During fiscal year 2025, the Company released $3.7 million of the valuation allowance on its foreign tax credit carryforwards that the Company expects to utilize and retained $0.3 million on the portion that the Company does not expect to utilize before the expiration date.

As of December 28, 2025, the Company has approximately $153.7 million in state net operating loss carryforwards relating to continuing operations with expiration dates through 2044 and has provided a valuation allowance against $107.0 million of such losses, which the Company does not expect to utilize.

Historically, the Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed accumulated earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of Canada, China, and Thailand where a portion of our undistributed earnings are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. The Company provided for U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings that were not permanently reinvested at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) created a dividends received deduction that generally eliminates additional U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from our foreign subsidiaries, the Company continues to assert that all of its undistributed earnings in its non-U.S. subsidiaries, excluding undistributed earnings for which U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have been provided, are indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S. The Company expects that domestic cash resources will be sufficient to fund its domestic operations and cash commitments in the future. In the event the Company determines not to continue to assert that all or part of its undistributed earnings in its non-U.S. subsidiaries are permanently reinvested, an actual repatriation of earnings from its non-U.S. subsidiaries could still be subject to additional foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes, the determination of which is not practicable.

The Company’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination for the years 2022 to the present. The Company files returns in numerous state and local jurisdictions and in general it is subject to examination by the state tax authorities for the years 2020 to the present. The Company files returns in numerous foreign jurisdictions and in general it is subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities for the years 2020 to the present.

As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, non-current deferred tax assets were reduced by approximately $1.9 million and $2.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. As of December 28, 2025, and December 29, 2024, the Company had $4.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and income tax penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which are included in the total unrecognized tax benefit noted above.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, there would be a favorable impact on the Company’s effective tax rate of approximately $4.9 million in future periods. The timing of the ultimate resolution of the Company’s tax matters is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. One of the proceedings the Company is involved in is 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, and the case is in an early stage. We cannot at this time estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, for this matter. Interface believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims brought against it, and intends to defend vigorously against them.

NOTE 18 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has a 401(k) retirement investment plan (“401(k) Plan”), which is open to all eligible U.S. employees with at leastsix months of service. The 401(k) Plan provides Company matching contributions on a sliding scale based on the level of the employee’s contribution. The Company’s matching contributions totaled approximately $3.6 million, $3.6 million, and $3.4 million for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Under the Company’s nonqualified savings plans (“NSPs”), the Company provides eligible employees the opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified percentage of their compensation, as defined in the NSPs. The NSPs provide Company matching contributions on a sliding scale based on the level of the employee’s contribution. The obligations of the Company under such agreements to pay the deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the NSPs are unsecured general obligations of the Company. Participants have no right, interest or claim in the assets of the Company, except as unsecured general creditors. The Company has established a rabbi trust to hold, invest and reinvest deferrals and contributions under the NSPs. If a change in control of the Company occurs, as defined in the NSPs, the Company will contribute an amount to the rabbi trust sufficient to pay the obligation owed to each participant. The deferred compensation liability in connection with the NSPs totaled $33.3 million and $30.3 million at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The Company invests the deferrals in insurance instruments with readily determinable cash surrender values and in exchange traded mutual funds. The value of the insurance instruments was $24.8 million and $21.8 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the mutual fund investments at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 was $8.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

Multi-employer Plan

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded multi-employer pension expense related to contributions to insignificant multi-employer plans of $2.8 million, $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Foreign Defined Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit retirement plans, which cover many of its European employees. The benefits under these defined benefit retirement plans are generally based on years of service and the employee’s average monthly compensation. The Company acquired an additional defined benefit plan in connection with the nora acquisition, which covers certain employees in Germany (the “nora Plan”). The nora Plan has no plan assets and is unfunded. The Company uses a year-end measurement date for the plans, which is the closest practical date to the Company’s fiscal year end.

The Dutch Plan is financed by assets held in an insurance contract and the Company is obligated to fund the cost to guarantee vested benefits. As of December 28, 2025, the under-funded status of the Dutch Plan of $4.7 million is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other long-term liabilities.

Plan assets are primarily invested in insurance contracts and fixed income securities. As of December 28, 2025, the Company had a net liability recorded of $20.7 million for the foreign defined benefit plans, an amount equal to their under-funded status, and had recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss an amount equal to $35.3 million (net of taxes of approximately $9.1 million) related to the future amounts to be recorded in net periodic benefit costs. In the next fiscal year, approximately $1.1 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost.

The tables presented below set forth the funded status of the Company’s significant foreign defined benefit plans:

The above disclosure represents the aggregation of information related to the Company’sthree defined benefit plans which cover many of its European employees. The increase in the projected benefit obligation of $5.1 million for 2025 compared to prior year was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation due to the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar in 2025. As of December 28, 2025, one of these plans, which primarily covers certain employees in the United Kingdom (the “UK Plan”), had assets in excess of the accumulated benefit obligation. The accumulated benefit obligation of the Dutch Plan exceeded plan assets as of December 28, 2025. The nora Plan is an unfunded defined benefit plan and the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded plan assets as of December 28, 2025. The following table summarizes this information as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

The service cost component of net periodic benefit costs is presented within operating income in the consolidated statements of operations, while all other components of net periodic benefit costs are presented within other expense income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

During 2025, other comprehensive income was impacted by a total net gain of approximately $2.5 million (net of $0.9 million of tax), comprised of actuarial gain of approximately $1.6 million (net of $0.6 million of tax) and amortization of loss of $0.9 million (net of $0.3 million of tax).

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is based on weighted average expected returns for each asset class. Expected returns reflect a combination of historical performance analysis and the forward-looking views of the financial markets, and include input from actuaries, investment service firms and investment managers.

The investment objectives of the foreign defined benefit plans are to maximize the return on the investments to ensure that the assets are sufficient to exceed minimum funding requirements, and to achieve a favorable return against performance expectations based on historical and projected rates of return over the short term. The goal is to optimize the long-term return on plan assets at a moderate level of risk, by balancing higher-returning assets, such as equity securities, with less volatile assets, such as fixed income securities. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated periodically against specific benchmarks. The plans’ net assets did not include the Company’s own stock at December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024.

Dutch Plan Assets and Indexation Benefit

As is common in Dutch pension plans, the Dutch Plan includes a provision for discretionary benefit increases termed “indexation.” The indexation benefit is meant to adjust pension benefits for cost-of-living increases, similar to U.S. consumer price index-based cost-of-living adjustments for U.S. retirement plans. The indexation benefit is not guaranteed, and is only provided for and paid out if sufficient assets are available due to favorable asset returns.

Vested benefits as well as amounts related to the discretionary indexation benefits under the Dutch Plan are paid pursuant to an insurance contract with a private insurer (the “Contract”). The Dutch Plan itself is financed by investment assets held within the Contract. This type of insurance arrangement is common in The Netherlands, although not necessarily common in other jurisdictions.

Under the express terms of the Contract, contract value is the greater of (i) the value of the discounted vested benefits of the Dutch Plan and (ii) the fair value of the underlying investment assets held by the insurance company under the Contract. As between those two values, the former was the greater for 2025 and 2024.

The Company’s actual weighted average asset allocations for 2025 and 2024, and the targeted asset allocation for 2026, of the foreign defined benefit plans by asset category, are as follows:

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the foreign defined benefit plans’ assets at fair value, as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. The nora plan is currently unfunded. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As noted above, the Dutch Plan assets as represented by the insurance contract are classified as a level 3 asset and included in the “Other” asset category.

The tables below detail the foreign defined benefit plans’ assets by asset allocation and fair value hierarchy:

(1) Short-term investments are generally invested in interest-bearing accounts.

(2) Other investments are comprised of insurance contracts.

Assets identified as level 2 above pertain to corporate bonds and other debt securities. The fair values of these assets are calculated based on quoted market prices for similar assets.

With the exception of the Dutch Plan assets as discussed above, the assets identified as level 3 above in 2025 and 2024 relate to insured annuities and direct lending assets held by the UK Plan. The fair value of these assets was calculated using the present value of the future cash flows due under the insurance annuities, and for the direct lending assets the value is based on the asset value from the latest available valuation with adjustments for any drawdowns and distribution payments made between the valuation date and the reporting date. The range of discount rates used in the fair value calculation of level 3 assets held by the Dutch Plan and the UK Plan were 4.00% to 5.40% for 2025, and 3.50% to 5.35% for 2024. The weighted average discount rates were 4.02% and 3.53% for 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are weighted based on the fair value of level 3 plan assets subject to fluctuations in the discount rate. Any changes in these variables will impact the fair value of level 3 assets.

The table below indicates the change in value related to these level 3 assets during 2025 and 2024:

(1) Includes $5.8 million and $2.1 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively, of unrealized losses recognized during the period in other comprehensive income for assets held at year end.

During 2026, the Company expects to contribute $1.8 million to the foreign defined benefit plans. It is anticipated that future benefit payments for the foreign defined benefit plans will be as follows:

Domestic Defined Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a domestic nonqualified salary continuation plan (“SCP”), which is designed to induce selected officers of the Company to remain in the employ of the Company by providing them with retirement, disability and death benefits in addition to those which they may receive under the Company’s other retirement plans and benefit programs. The SCP entitles participants to: (i) retirement benefits upon normal retirement at age 65 (or early retirement as early as age 55) after completing at least 15 years of service with the Company (unless otherwise provided in the SCP), payable for the remainder of their lives (or, if elected by a participant, a reduced benefit is payable for the remainder of the participant’s life and any surviving spouse’s life) and in no event less than 10 years under the death benefit feature; (ii) disability benefits payable for the period of any total disability; and (iii) death benefits payable to the designated beneficiary of the participant for a period of up to 10 years. Benefits are determined according to one of three formulas contained in the SCP, and the SCP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which has full discretion in choosing participants and the benefit formula applicable to each. The Company’s obligations under the SCP are currently unfunded (although the Company uses insurance instruments to hedge its exposure thereunder). The Company is required to contribute the present value of its obligations thereunder to an irrevocable grantor trust in the event of a change in control as defined in the SCP. The Company uses a year-end measurement date for the domestic SCP.

The tables presented below set forth the required disclosures in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to the domestic SCP. There is no service cost component in the change in benefit obligation in 2025 and 2024 as there are no longer any participants accruing benefits in the plan.

The amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The components of the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss, after tax, are as follows:

The accumulated benefit obligation related to the SCP was $21.2 million at December 28, 2025, and $21.1 million at December 29, 2024. The SCP is currently unfunded; as such, the benefit obligations disclosed are also the benefit obligations in excess of the plan assets. The Company uses insurance instruments to help limit its exposure under the SCP.

All components of net periodic benefit cost associated with the SCP are presented within other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

The change in other comprehensive income during 2025 related to the SCP as a result of plan activity was a net loss of approximately $0.5 million (net of $0.2 million of tax), primarily comprised of a net loss during the period of $0.6 million (net of $0.3 million of tax) and amortization of loss of $0.1 million (net of $0.1 million of tax).

During 2025, the Company contributed $1.9 million in the form of direct benefit payments for its domestic SCP. It is anticipated that future benefit payments for the SCP will be as follows:

NOTE 19 – 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 the Cyber Event. Intersegment revenues for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $122.0 million, $91.1 million and $82.8 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.

During fiscal year 2024, the Company implemented a cost center realignment initiative to centralize certain global/shared functions. During 2024, SG&A expenses for these global support functions were allocated to AOI for each reportable segment consistent with the allocation methodology used to allocate corporate overhead in prior periods. AOI amounts below for fiscal year 2023, were not recast as there was no material impact to the measure of segment profit for each reportable segment. There were no changes to the composition of the Company’s operating or reportable segments.

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 fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023.

(1) Significant segment expense categories and amounts align with segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM, included in the measure of segment profit, and considered to be significant. Amounts include allocation of corporate overhead and global support costs. Intersegment expenses are excluded.

(2) Adjusted cost of sales excludes nora purchase accounting amortization and the Cyber Event impact.

(3) Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses exclude the Cyber Event impact and restructuring, asset impairment, severance, and other, net.

Segment depreciation and amortization for 2025, 2024 and 2023 is presented in the table below:

A reconciliation of the Company’s total operating segment assets to the corresponding consolidated amounts follows:

The Company has a large and diverse customer base, which includes numerous customers located in foreign countries. No single unaffiliated customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales in any year during the past three years. Sales to customers in foreign markets in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were approximately 43%,43% and 46%, respectively, of total net sales. These sales were primarily to customers in Europe, Canada, Asia, Australia and Latin America. Net sales and long-lived assets for the United States and other significant countries (that individually represent 10% or greater of consolidated totals for each year presented) are as follows:

(1) Revenue attributed to geographic areas is based on the location of the customer.

(2) Long-lived assets attributed to geographic areas are based on the physical location of the asset. 2025 includes $2.5 million and $6.6 million of leased equipment in the U.S. and in non-U.S. countries, respectively. 2024 includes$3.1 million and$5.0 million of leased equipment in the U.S. and in non-U.S. countries, respectively.

NOTE 20 – ITEMS RECLASSIFIED FROM ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), before tax, to the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, are reflected in the table below:

(1) In 2024, the Company’s foreign subsidiary in Thailand was substantially liquidated and in 2023, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in Russia and Brazil were substantially liquidated. The cumulative foreign currency translation losses associated with these entities were recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. There is no tax impact for the Thailand cumulative foreign currency translation reclassification for 2024 as it is non-deductible. The tax impact for the 2023 cumulative foreign currency translation reclassification was $1.1 million.

(2) In fiscal year 2020, the Company terminated its designated interest rate swaps. Losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for these terminated interest rate swaps were reclassified and recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. The tax impact of the interest rate swap reclassifications was $0.2 million for fiscal year 2023, related to the discontinued cash flow hedges.

(3) See Note 18 entitled “Employee Benefit Plans” for the tax impact of reclassifications related to the Company’s defined benefit plans.
